Ch.2
It has been one month since the demoness took the form of a vixen and began taking care of Naru. It was a month of hell. So much worry and fear. The demon was afraid of humans trying to harm her body or the baby. She was barely finding the food she needed for milk. She had a scare of the baby being ill, but she was luckily able to burn the illness out. She had the dog-masked ninja eyeing her more. She was very scared for their safety and very stressed.
"Hopefully this transformation will relieve some stress. How to do it? Leaving the village and entering it a traveler affected by myself might help." The demon muttered as she paced the den. "But what name should I use? No one knows my name, but should I give these humans my magnificent name?"
The vixen sat on her hunches as she thought over human names. She's been in Uzumakis enough to know most of their culture and she could emulate their usual pleasingly red hair. It could draw suspicion onto her though.
"If I remember from Kushina, the Uzumaki were scattered to the four winds. So being a wandering Uzumaki would not be far-fetched. I'm sure the village would love to have another Uzumaki if I ever came back. Eh, they'd welcome me so they could seal me into me. I find that amusing. So my name as my first name. All humans have two or three names." The demoness grumbled. "Youko or Yoko might be a giveaway, so as pleasing as it is, it's too risky."
Before she could mull over the idea of a surname, the infant began to sniffle for food. That was a new development the demon was getting used to, the sounds of the babe. She could tell now when it was hungry, dirty, ill or just wanting attention. She mostly ignored it when it wanted attention, because it made her feel weird, her chest became all pleasantly warm.
"I'm coming, brat. Ugh, when will you start moving on your own?" The vixen complained as she crawled into the den to feed her kit. Hers? When? When did the babe start to feel like hers?
She lied before the baby's head, helping it to her teats before sighing in relief of the mounting pressure. She had slowed the production of milk, but the infant was a glutton. She had almost starved it when she had limited the production to what she thought normal human women produce when she observed them with their charges. The demon wondered if it was normal for an infant to eat so much. It ate more than twice as much as other babes.
When the brat wasn't a glutton, she was sleeping. There were only three things this babe really demanded. Food, changing, playing with her tail which was mostly gripping it in her tiny hands. Playing with her tail normally happened right after the other two, unless she fell asleep right after. This didn't last long as the babe exhausted itself quickly and fell asleep soon after. She slept most of the day away.
"Now if only the noise you made was more than crying for attention. Don't babies make more noise than crying? I need a human to teach me about human babies." The demon groaned before she growled at realizing another issue. "How to I bring you in with me without making us both targets? I'm already skirting death daily by just being a fox. If I just show up with the demon container then I'll have a Bijudama aimed at me!" The vixen's shout made the brat cry in fear from the demon's loudness.
"Oh, no, shh, no, you're safe. That was just me. Shh, calm down, please calm down." She urged, trying to console the babe by rocking it with her tail and forelegs. "I'm here, you're safe, please stop crying."
The demon sighed in relief when the infant ceased its cries and the vixen settled her back down to finish her meal. Once the babe finished, the brat passed out right after. This was the routine lately. She'd be loud, cry and she would do her best to calm her. The demon checked over the baby to see if it was deep asleep before crawling out of the burrow and moving outside. Just as she exited the window of the den, she froze at the sight of the dog masked ninja staring at her.
"Lord Hokage! I was right!" The adolescent cried out before the demon heard footsteps on the stairs leading up to the den. The vixen began to snarl as she backed up to the door, trying to look as big as she could with her current body. She needed her extra mass to form the chest and head of her human body, not waste it to make her fox body big enough to block the door.
She eyed the stairs as an old man in white robes with his head covered in a white hat approached them, flanked by a man in a red vest with long white hair and another masked Ninja wearing a mask of a dragon. The vixen didn't recognize most of these figures, but the tall red-vested man. Jiraiya? He was around Kushina a lot thanks to the woman's mate.
"Are you sure this is the Kyuubi possessing Naru?" The white robed man asked Jiraiya.
"I'm unsure, this fox doesn't feel like the Kyuubi. Its chakra is similar for sure, but it's not malevolent like the fox." Jiraiya voiced as he approached. The vixen snarled at him now as she was backed against the wall. They can't take her baby! "And even if it was the fox possessing Naru I would have no idea how to get to the kid. I think this might just be a fox affected by the demon's chakra."
"Fuck you and the horse you rode in on! My chakra doesn't behave that way!" She flinched at realizing she just blew any hope of cover she had because she was sick of the constant demonizing blown way out of proportion.
The dog masked ninja pulled out a kunai and started to lunge at her before three things happened at once. The robed man stopped the dragon ninja, the baby started crying from being woken, Jiraiya stopped the dog ninja while making a grab for her. She bolted to calm her baby. She was shushing her and licking her cheek when the four intruded into her den.
"Fuck off! You won't touch my kit!" The vixen snarled, only idly wondering when she had so strongly decided that Naru was her daughter, not just something to keep alive out of necessity. Arg, must be something in the mortal brain she made to help automate her body.
"What are you?" The robed man demanded as she curled around Naru to try and hide her.
"Kyuubi no Yoko. You 'caretakers' tossed my kit into a dumpster so I began taking care of her. You won't take her from me!" She snarled at them. Oh, she wished she had the chakra for a Bijudama. This body started producing its own chakra not a week ago along with what she gave it, but it was not enough for more than a small gout of fire.
"What is this world coming to, that a demon cares more about a child than a whole village?" Jiraiya groused with contempt towards the hat-wearing robed old man, who closed his eyes and bowed his head in visible shame.
"How are you out of the seal?! Sensei would-." The dog-masked ninja said in rage.
"I pushed just enough out for a body to take care of my kit. If I were to compare it, the first iterations would be barely above you normal humans. This current body has more physical meat and bone so I don't have to constantly remake it with chakra. I only control it like a puppet." The vixen snarled at them.
"What exactly do you mean by iterations and puppet?" The robed man asked.
"I have been refining this body as I go and since I am still in the seal, only my consciousness and what little chakra I can share with it are in it. Otherwise, if I left it alone, it would probably either die right away or possibly just default to normal fox behavior." The vixen growled before she noticed the robed man make a hand gesture. That two masked ninja retreated to the door, exiting the den to stand just outside. "What are you doing?!"
"Just giving us more privacy. What are your plans with Naru Uzumaki? What are your plans for the Village?" The robed man asked as his eyes bored into her like steel spears.
"I would destroy this retchted village as much as I would flee. This village has been nothing but a hell for me." The demon growled. "I need it though. I don't want my kit or I to die."
"You wish to live here to raise Naru?" Jiraiya asked incredulously.
"Raising her should be your job. If I remember the vague ideas Kushina talked about with her mate." The vixen growled as she did her best to keep her kit calm.
"I wouldn't have had to if you hadn't killed-!" Jiraiya accused.
"I did no such thing! They were both dying when I tried…I tried…I." The vixen balked as she remembered her attempt to kill Naru with her claws. The memory stabbed her heart like a hot knife as she struggled to get her body's hormones under control again.
"It would seem you are traumatized by the events as well. Jiraiya, be more gentle." The old man advised and the white-haired man nodded with a deep frown. "Can you tell us why you attacked, then? Other than assumed malice."
"No. I should have fled, I would have fled. I can't remember anything clearly between being free of Kushina and then having my very spirit divided and sealed into Naru. What I do remember are the Eyes. The red and black eyes of Madara. He did it to me before I was sealed into Mito." The demon vixen answered as she occupied the cooing and drooling baby with her tail.
"An Uchiha? Do you think Danzo's accusations are correct?" The robed man speculated.
"She said eyes like Madara. Out of the Uchiha Clan members I know, none of them have the Mangekyo. This must either be a rogue or somehow Madara has returned." Jiraiya gave the robed man his opinion. "Unless you want me questioning every Uchiha, don't see a way of lifting suspicion off of them at this time though."
"You are better used outside the village searching for a rogue Uchiha rather than questioning the clan. I'll have to talk to Fukagu about these revelations." The robed man speculated.
"How? You can't exactly say the Kyuubi told you that an Uchiha made it attack." Jiraiya countered with a good bit of disbelief.
"Her! I am a female!" The vixen barked, wondering when she truly identified as female.
"Her? Um, made her attack." Jiraiya corrected, looking unsure of it.
"I'll figure something out. Now, back to the fox in the room. You have adopted Naru. You do understand I can't have her living in such conditions. Nor under such c-" The robed man began before the demon snarled.
"I was attempting to craft a human body with the mass I have accumulated before you found me." The vixen told them with a glare. "Having a human body would make it easier for me to roam around this village without the constant threat of death every time I walk outside."
"You are planning on living as a human?" The robed man asked in surprise.
"Yes. Making a mortal body is hard, but not complicated if you observe how your bodies work. I have also seen how you mortals live through the eyes of Kushina and Mito." The fox confirmed.
"How exactly did you plan to go about this?" Jiraiya asked as he folded his arms.
"Just walk up to your gate and declare myself as a wandering Uzumaki looking to settle in your village. The only snag I have in my plans is how I keep Naru with me without making myself a target." The vixen explained to them.
"You were just going to walk right up? Do you have documents? Wait, no, most wandering Uzumaki don't have them, but documents would help with your integration." Jiraiya said as he thought of the demon's plan. "I could forge some, I still have some of said documents from Uzushiogakure. All I would need is a name."
"Kurama Uzumaki." Kurama told them, feeling like being caught might have helped her. She wouldn't trust them, not after all they've done to Kushina and then Naru, but she would have to rely on them at least a little to be able to raise her daughter in a, if not safe, but useful place.
"Hm, might work. Would be strange since we have the Kurama clan in the village, but it's not unheard of as a first name in other villages, just rare." The robed man stated, causing Kurama to blink and feel conflicted about that. "As for keeping Naru with you I have an idea."
=Fox=
"Are you sure this is a good basis?" Kurama asked while staring intently at the extremely busty blond woman in the picture Jiraiya had provided her.
"Yes. Absolutely. Nobody would expect you to be a demon." Jiraiya assured her with an oddly unnerving expression. Why was he grinning so much?
"Okay, I hope I have enough mass for those teats." Kurama voiced before she started shifting the mass she had accumulated, filling gaps with spare chakra. Soon, instead of a fox in a field, there was a long-red-haired super-busty naked pale-skinned woman on her hands and knees. She stood up and blinked her red eyes at Jiraiya's laugh and he began writing in a notebook.
"Oo hoo hoo hoo~. I knew that was the best body!" The man declared and Kurama looked down at herself. "Give a slow turn to the side, please." Kurama bemusedly obeyed and he wrote more. "Show me your back." She hesitantly did so. "Gosh, that ass, unf." Wait…
"Am I…attractive?" Kurama asked with her face feeling warm while she hugged her arms around her new huge…breasts? Humans call them breasts. They are so big, goodness.
"Officially one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. Kushina's hair, the Uzumaki softness of your face and those red eyes really enhance it further. You are a knockout!" Jiraiya gave a thumbs-up as his nose bled!
"Ah, are you okay?!" She needed him to get into the village and help get her set up!
"Perfectly fine~." Jiraiya giggled as he wrote more fervently before putting the black book away and handing her the clothes she requested, since humans wear clothes when they are in public for warmth and other reasons she wasn't familiar with. "Here you go. Need help?"
"Yes, I have never worn clothes before." For some reason, Jiraiya giggled more and he helped her put on the simple travel-worn pants, a simple tunic that was undersized and she grunted at how it turned her breasts into a uniboob until he helped her pull them up a bit and the tunic, now just above her waistband, acted as a bra with most of it tucked under her boobs.
"We'll get you a better fit in the village. I am under orders to help you integrate for two weeks before I have to hunt down our rogue Uchiha." Jiraiya said, sounding much more professional. What was with this change?
"Thank you. I would have no idea what I'm doing without your help." Kurama admitted with a soft smile and Jiraiya's cheeks turned red for some reason. Was he ill?! She put her hand to his cheek and he sputtered. "Are you well? Your face is red and hot."
"I-I'm fine! Ahem…here is Naru. Now, to go over the plan again, we declare that I took Naru from the orphanage once I saw them dump her in an alley. I will declare that I had spent the month searching for someone I felt I could trust with her, which is where you come in. As a clan member, you have a connection to Naru and can easily be considered distant kin." Jiraiya handed Kurama the sleeping baby and Kurama cradled her to her huge bosom.
"And to explain my lactation, we say I had lost my first child on the road in labor while my mate had been killed in a bandit attack weeks prior to that. I have grieved for both for a week before you found me and offered me the chance to raise Naru." Kurama recited for them both.
"And your late husband's name?" Jiraiya probed to help her remember their cover story.
"Husband? Right marriage, that thing Kushina did with her mate." Kurama muttered unsurely.
"You can't say mate, humans don't do that unless it's kinky bedroom stuff." Jiraiya informed her.
"Okay, my Husband's name was um…Minato?" Kurama asked, trying to think of a male human name before Jiraiya hit her on the head. "Ow, if you do that again, I will gut you and devour your innards." Kurama threatened, but Jiraiya's stony face impressed her.
"Minato was my student and Kushina's husband. Using his name is a terrible idea. We already discussed this." Jiraiya sighed in frustration.
"I am terrible at your human names, we have also covered this." Kurama huffed before rocking Naru who began to become upset. "Hm, Hashi? Like Hashirama?"
"I guess Hashi could work. Was Hashi also an Uzumaki?" Jiraiya asked while rubbing his chin.
"Yes." Kurama agreed with that idea. She knew she had to get this down in case anyone asked her questions of her past so she was memorizing everything she could. She was older than any human alive, so she had a lot of memories, but she was always the sort to only remember highlights rather than details. The only things she ever commented to memory were her father's tales and everything her father spoke of.
"Alright, we have a day's walk to take. I'll do all the talking. Just answer any yes or no questions they have." Jiraiya told the demon as she nodded, pulling down her top to let Naru feed. "Uh, maybe you shouldn't-."
The vixen glared at Jiraiya for even thinking of delaying Naru's feeding. Kurama had to deal with wailing enough at the den. She would not deny her kit food that was readily available. Jiraiya conceded with a look before he began leading them back to Konoha, to hell. Goodness, feeding Naru as a human was…much more enjoyable…
=Fox=
Jiraiya had been correct on the time it took to travel to the village. When he had brought her out to that glade to make a swift campsite he had been moving at full speed for a ninja carrying both her and Naru. The walk back was at a civilian pace instead of the breakneck speed Jiraiya had used before as such speed could hurt Naru if the infant was not handled with care.
Kurama found it a little insulting at the acusions that she couldn't do it, but she admitted the Toad Sage was correct. Her body, while already in the upper percentile of fitness and capability for humans from her observations, was utterly new to her and just walking while carrying Naru was in of itself a learning experience. Especially with her breasts. Sage, her breasts were so heavy. If they were heavy for her, she couldn't imagine how other well-endowed women cope.
"Lord Jiraiya! I see you have returned again! And with a lady friend." One of the gate guards said before noticing Naru. "You didn't end up finally having a kid with some woman you met in a brothel?" Jiraiya's unamused expression made Kurama giggle, then freeze at such a cute sound coming from her new human lips.
"No, it's Naru. This is her new guardian I retrieved after my goddaughter was almost murdered a month ago by the orphanage that had been entrusted with her. This ravishing buxom beauty is Kurama Uzumaki, a surviving Uzumaki who I found recently and has offered to act as Naru's adopted mother." Jiraiya explained and the gate guard gawked at her.
"Wow, do you have any idea-?"
"I know everything, you pieces of filth. If I had the choice, I would take Naru far from here to raise her in safety and peace." Kurama dangerously narrowed her red eyes, which glowed.
