Naruto Dudes, as always, it is all yours, a tiny bit is from J.K., I just let the old guy mess it up. For free of course.

Previous:

Kurama pulled his Chakra back and I removed the barrier and pillars. The guards were relieved when everything turned back to normal and I opened the pocket space. Those pussies almost ran outside to get away from me. I wonder why.

I spotted Shikaku and approached him: "I need a week, Shikaku Sama, then I have Kurama in a new seal and the tracker ready. If you need me, I'll be in my pocket space. The kids have to do without my clones for that week. Let them beat each other up for a change."

6 The Academy life is not for pussies.

I used that week to perfect the seal, a week with the help of eight clones, made me confident enough to risk it. I used a combination of Fuinjutsu and Runes to seal the seal, I know it is complicated, but Fuinjutsu imprints those seals with Chakra, which also means it can be removed with Chakra. My method locks the seal so no Chakra jutsu can unlock it.

I adjusted the Seal Mum and Dad used to seal Kurama away, I changed the seal sequence that limited the space the Fox was boxed in into one that was the size of a continent. I added a connection to my Mindscape to copy the scenery, a bloody complicated piece of Magic, I can tell you.

"Did you follow what I plan to do, Kurama?" I asked, "I am going to adjust the seal for real. You know why those clan heads want guards posted when I do it. Are you going to cooperate? The more you help the faster we can get your three-tailed brother."

"Get on with it, Shitty Brat, I will cooperate, then I can talk to someone else instead of listening to your endless yapping," he growled.

"Why do you all call me Shitty Brat? Tsunade does it, Cat San does it, I am potty trained I'll have you know! Don't answer that! It was rhetorical. I'll set it up for tomorrow." I'm getting tired of being called Shitty Brat, they need to use their imagination and vary with their name-calling… Okay, now that I thought things over, they may keep calling me Shitty Brat.

The next day I created my stage again, you know, to impress the crowd, this time the clan leaders were present to provide the extra muscles. I made a big show of raising the pillars and barrier, the clan leaders knew them from the reports of the guards, but seeing it for real gives it an extra dimension.

My first action was to enter my mindscape and relocate the seals that activate my parent's spirits. I created a big obelisk and attached them to it.

I called out: "Get ready, Kurama, just like last week, channel your Chakra in a low steady flow."

"Just say when Shitty Brat," he growled back. Anything he says sounds like growling, it is a beast of more than three hundred feet tall, he doesn't have an indoor voice.

On my sign, Kurama started channeling his Chakra, the Eight Trigram seal on my stomach became visible, first I added four more to that Trigram, making it a Twelve Trigram Seal, then I adjusted the Eight Trigrams to my new design, then I made links to our minds, to lock other outside influences out and make it easier to channel each other Chakra. It gave Kurama more access to my senses, it made him feel free.

I entered my mindscape and guided the expansion of Kurama's cage, once it got the size of Africa, I connected a copy of my mindscape in the cage. That will give him room enough to play in. Reconnecting the links of my parents Spirits to the cage was not necessary anymore, but I did it anyway to honor their sacrifice.

My next step is to lock everything up with Magic Rune tattoos. The Clan Heads followed my every move, Fukagu's and Hiashi's eyes were working overtime to grasp what I was doing and came up short. Hiashi commented: "What Naruto Kun is doing requires years of study, changing an existing seal in size and shape is difficult on its own, he is doing it with a Tailed beast inside of it. His control is exceptional."

Fukagu nodded: "You are right, Hiashi San, even with my eyes fully focused on Naruto Kun's action, I can not even try to think to copy that jutsu."

Shikaku shook his head: "Because it is not a Jutsu, Fukagu San, it is his hidden ability he calls Magic. And his learning ability is frightening. You know the effects of shadow Clones, so imagine Naruto Kun uses them to study, he has created eight of them by now. His learning speed is eight times faster than normal children."

Inoichi Yamanaka added: "Do not forget what he did to this Mansion and the Academy. Somehow he made the children focus completely on the lessons and made them eager to learn and train. It is scary how fast Ino Chan is progressing, having all the Academy Jutsu's learned in their first year is been done before, all the students of a whole year learning them is not. Even the senior students are picking up the pace."

Shibi Aburame said: "The children are learning tree walking now, Naruto Kun's Clones were escaping into the trees or ceilings to catch their breath, but not for long now. Yesterday, Shino Kun said to me that the three princesses, that is what the kids call, Ino Can, Hinata Chan, and Sakura Chan, they already managed to learn it, and the others are close."

Tsunade, who was focusing on me, ready to interfere at the slightest hint of Kurama attempting to escape, relaxed when I finished the job. She heard the last comment and said: "What is there so special to learn tree walking in the Academy? We all did that when we attended the Academy."

Hiashi smiled: "Oh? Did you learn it in your first year, Tsunade Sama? Because this is our children's first year. Even the village children are far ahead of the curve. It is almost the end of the term, and by the standards of two years ago, they can all graduate. They are even far ahead compared to those poor kids Danzo trained for his Root."

They stopped talking when I disabled my stage, Kurama has a sense of drama too, he injected his Chakra in my body to do the first stage of melding. I lit up like a billboard in Vegas, I have a goddamn Tail on my ass!

I heard that damn Fox in my head mocking me: "Well, shitty brat? If you take a shit, will your tail catch some of it?"

I complained: "Can we do this without the light effects? They will see me from ten miles away at night. Even by day, I will stand out like a sour thumb. The power infusion is awesome though."

I went to Tsunade and grinned: "Hey Aunty, what do you think of my new look? Orange is the new fab, don't you think? It is way better than that dull green you are wearing all the time, did I say that it made your… nope, not saying that in a closed room without an escape route."

She grabbed me and lifted me up: "I can still kick your ass, shitty light bulb! Be glad I can't do it here. Now report! Did you succeed completely or are there problems?"

"100% Aunty, and lose the grip, I am not into that kind of play, take someone your own age, like the Hokage." Too much? By the look on her face, it is.

The wards ejected Aunty out of the village, that bitch can't take a joke from a little kid. Shikaku commented: "You are on your own on this one, Naruto Kun, If I dare to do an age joke with my wife I have to sleep on the floor for a week. Tsunade Sama will kill everyone that stands between you and her."

Fukagu nodded: "Well, I have urgent Clan business to attend to, give me the date of Naruto Kun's funeral If he doesn't survive."

Everyone ran to the exit, I held Shikaku back: "A word, Shikaku Sama, I have some information for you."

Shikaku sighed: "Can it wait for next week? You will be busy avoiding Tsunade Sama, and I don't want to be in the crossfire."

"I'll be quick about it, I want to do a camping trip with the Clan kids, but Choji has to come, He has the chance to be the three-tailed Jinchuriki, and there is a chance to get a Chameleon Summon," I commented offhandedly.

Shikaku snapped his head to me: "You have my attention, Naruto Kun, can you elaborate?"

I nodded: "I have the rough location of the three tails, tomorrow or the day after I will have the locator ready. Kurama said that Choji has the ideal body for Isobu. I suggest we take a school trip with the Clan kids at the end of the term. What do you think?"

"If you survive next week we will discuss it here, Naruto Kun. The term ends in three weeks, there will be enough time to organize a trip." Shikaku speed walked away. Bloody cowards.

I spent the rest of the week invisible, only my clones went to the Academy to be hunted by the kids. That week the kids had to train tree walking, showed, my clones got hunted all over the place. Hinata Ino and Sakura led the pack, it was unsettling to see them running horizontally on a wall or upside down on a ceiling. Peer pressure is the worst kind of motivation to train, the upper years felt threatened and increased their training too. Anyway, the three princesses looked smug when they succeeded in kicking me out of a tree. My life sucks.

Ah! Finally the holidays! No more school, no more rabid kids chasing me… what are those brats doing in my pocket space?

I grinned at the three princesses: "So, you are here to do some Naru Chan Hunting? Well, then I have a surprise for you, Meet one-tail Naru Chan! This time it is princess hunting! Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

The little demons managed to kill one of my three one-tails before I spanked their asses, completely beaten up they lay on the floor, still, Hinata taunted: "We still got one of you, Naruto Chan, you won't surprise us next time."

Those brats can heal themselves? Fuck! They know the Mystic Palm already! Before I got over my surprise, they offed another Clone. Quickly I hung my plaque on my neck I AM THE REAL ONE! When they looked at me with fire in their eyes.

I warned them: "Don't come any closer, or I will use Magic on you… I said don't come any closer! I warn you! Don't! Ah, sod it! You had to listen in the first place!"

Three puppies were yipping at me, I petted their head: "Who are the cute puppies? Yes, you are! So cute, I want to keep you like this forever!"

Those rabid dogs began to bite me! They drew blood! Wtf? They are worse than those mutts from Inuzuka! When I changed them back, they pummeled me into the ground. Sakura shouted: "Never again Naruto! That was the worst thing you could do to us. It felt horrible!"

I groaned: "Don't you need to be home for lunch? Or somewhere else?"

Hinata said: "Aunty Kamiko said we could eat here, Naruto Chan, we only have to go home for dinner, which is hours away for now. No more transforming us into animals, we don't like that."

The worst part? That stinking Fox is laughing his ass off. Meh, I'll increase the difficulty. I floated three tied-up sausages behind me to the table for lunch.

"Aunty Kamiko San? I have three little pigs for lunch." that pig comment made them scream their lungs out, it was good that I silenced them.

Aunty Kamiko shook her head: "That is no manner to treat a girl, Naruto Kun, this way you will never get a wife, untie them, they are proper ladies and you have to treat them that way."

I tilted my head and asked: "Aunty, did you ever see them train or fight? I did. Okay, don't look at me like that. There they are free… Protego! See what I mean Aunty?"

Bloody kunai. I almost got stabbed to death. The princesses took their revenge until dinner time. Aunty Kamiko, who was watching from the door said to me when they were gone: "I understand now, Naruto Kun. I also understand that you have no problem at all to win against them if you really want to. So stop complaining about it."

The clan heads met in my mansion, I had to explain my field trip: "You know that I have some visions from the possible future, in one of these visions I saw a group of Kage-level Shinobi hunt and capture Tailed beasts. Their purpose is to combine them in one a ten-tailed beast. To do so they extract the tailed beasts from the Jinchuriki killing them in the process."

I looked at the Clan Heads: "I am not a fan of dying, or allowing those fools to succeed. That is why I changed my seal. Even when they kill me, Kurama will escape from them. More so, if I die because of that, there will be an explosion that kills everyone in a five-mile radius."

I continued: "I made a tracker that can track all tailed beasts and it can even tell if they are bound or not. One of them is relatively close. Isobu, the Three-Tailed Turtle. Choji Akimichi would be the perfect host for it according to Kurama. I propose we ask Isobu if he wants to join the Leaf."

Fukagu said: "Ask it to join? Do you think Tailed Beasts are letting them sealed voluntarily?"

I nodded: "When they know who and what is after them, he will. Besides, Kurama will have a talk with him."

"Shikaku San and I already asked my son if he is willing," Said Choza Akimichi, "He agreed when he heard that he would be the same as Naruto Kun."

I held my hand up and said: "There is more, I know of a village that got razed fifty years ago, the village Chief had a Summon contract with the Chameleon clan. That Chameleon is guarding that village ruin until this day. We have a chance to get a contract with him because the hidden Leaf killed those enemies to the last one. We just have to tell that Chameleon, he is transformed into a castle."

Yep, I read that in Fan Fiction, if we don't get it, Pain will contract it, and that Chameleon will raze a big part of the village. Moreover, it has a tail with a snake head attached, so I can talk Parseltongue with it. Win-win for me.

Why am I not surprised that those three demons… princesses are coming with us? We ended up with a big group, almost all the Clan kids from our year were present, every clan sent a Jonin along and several Chunins.

I handed a wardstone to four Chunin and told them: "Move in a square and keep our group in that square at all times, it will mask our presence for everyone. When we stop for the night, you put the stone on the ground and put some Chakra in it. That will hide us from everything."

The Jonin were surprised that we could manage a decent speed, soon, we entered the land of the Neck and the village ruin, we stopped before the castle, I said: "Let me talk to it first."

I entered the castle and called out: "Hey Shiromari! We are from Konoha Village! I know that you plan to guard this ruin against enemies, but the ones that attacked and destroyed this Village are all killed to the last man, woman, and child by our Village! There is nothing left to avenge for and no more enemy to take your avenge from."

I went up to the highest tower and saw the Summon contract: "Here is my offer Lord Shiromari, I can take this contract to my village and you can return to your world," I continued in Parseltongue §Or you can make a contract with me, something I very much want.§

Shiromari ejected me and spoke: §You speak the serpent tongue, young child? Where did you learn that?§

I explained: §I was born with it, wise one. I know you are the castle, Lord Shiromari. Your task here is completed, all your enemies are dead, there is no reason to stay here. Do we have your permission to form contracts with your clan if you find us worthy?§

Shiromari changed into his natural form and said: "Anyone from Konoha village may contract our clan if they have enough Chakra to summon us. You however already have enough Chakra."

I grinned: "Cool, I'll do that when we get home."

With a puff, Shiromari disappeared. I turned to the lead Jonin, Nara San, the village can form contracts with the chameleons now. We have to go that way for thirty-seven miles for the three tails."

We found the lake where Isobu was hiding, I told the group, "Stand back, I want to negotiate with it."

I melded with Kurama and did a voice transmission into the lake: "Your brother Kurama wants to speak with you, Isobu."

After twenty long seconds, a big, very big Turtle rose above the water and glared at me: "Who is in control in this form, child?"

Kurama took over: {I am, Brother, the boy I am sealed in is a clever one. He made it so that I have a space many thousands of square miles big, where I can run free. We come with a warning, we are hunted by people who want to combine us in the ten tails. They are powerful enough to succeed.}

Isobu Said: {Thank you for the warning, that means I have to hide deeper. I wonder if salt water tastes bad.}

Kurama made the offer: {There is another possibility, we can seal you in a kid the same way I am sealed. I can take control of this body whenever I want, and he can use my Chakra when he wants. The kid's seal gives you a space as big as the five villages combined, without the need to hide.}

Kurama said to me: "Brat, call the Kid here."

I called out: "Choji! Come here please, only Choji!"

Choji stood beside me and whispered: "That is a big Turtle, Naruto!"

Kurama took control again: {This boy Choji Akimichi is willing to be your Jinchuriki, he, like you, is very much focused on defense and has a soft character, but he can be hard if needs be. The choice is yours, brother.}

Isobu came closer and studied Choji, who swallowed but stood his ground, I warned him he might be tested on his courage. Kurama is a scary Fox, but this one is no less scary, ugly like fuck too.

After a while, Isobu said: "Very well, it is for a century at most, faster if there are wars."

I said, I need to prepare Choji first, is it okay if his friends greet you while I am getting Choji ready? You will spend a lot of time with them."

Isobu was astonished, most people are scared or hated tailed beasts, curious, he said: "They may if they have the courage."

They heard that! That is like a red flag in front of a bull, the kids rushed in front of Isobu and soon they were best of friends with the gentle Giant. I raised a platform for Choji to lie on and removed his upper clothes. Carefully I put the twelve Trigram seal on his chest, and sealed it with the runes, while I explained to Choji the procedure of sealing.

"I will cast the sealing through this seal, chains will capture Isobu and pull him inside. Once that is done, I will look into your eyes and enter your mind. Don't be scared, I just visit there to see if everything is alright and fix it if it needs to be. Are you ready, Choji?"

With a brave face, he answered: "I am Naruto."

"Isobu! I am starting now! Guys, stand aside please."

I cast the seal, and black chains left Choji's seal and reached Isobu, they surrounded him and started to pull him in, both were willing so the process was fast and painless. Once Isobu was inside, I closed the door and sealed it off.

Then I used Legilimence on Choji and entered his mind, I found Isobu in a big space, I said: "A moment, Isobu, I raised a big obelisk and anchored a mindscape to it. I created a big country with interconnecting lakes. Just like in Kurama's world, I added a lot of wildlife and fish, while Isobu was watching.

When I was finished I said: "Wait a bit, I will try to get Choji in here."

I searched for Choji's mind and guided him in, I commented: "This is something you both have to find out for yourself, how to connect and how to share. Don't worry Choji, it is fun, and you will learn it fast enough."

I left Choji and turned to the Jonin leader: "Nara San, my part is done, we have two options, we walk back or we travel the Naruto way."

Suspicious, the Jonin asked: "Explain the Naruto way first, Naruto Kun, from the sound of it it must be something outrageous."

I shrugged: "My way is a bit uncomfortable, but we will be home in between ten and twenty seconds."

The three Demons… Princesses protested, Ino shouted: "We walk home! At home, I have to pick up flowers at midnight again! And that is your FAULT Naruto!"

Shino, the bug boy commented: "My insects need to get used to all kinds of situations, I want to walk too.

Kiba shouted: "I have to do chores at home, I want to walk home!"

One by one the kids voted to walk home, the head Jonin sighed, one more week babysitting these menaces.

I grinned: "It is not all bad, Nara San, think of the reward, enough Chakra metal for a sword is worth the effort, isn't it? And the Chunins get enough for a Kunai. That eases the pain doesn't it?"

"Aye it does, Naruto Kun, but it is like herding cats, those brats can't stay still." he sighed.

I made a suggestion: "I have a solution, Nara san, I will let my clones attack them, that is good practice and teach them battle formations."

Nara Jonin nodded: "That will keep them busy."

I made eight Clones and donned my plaque I AM THE REAL ONE! My clones disappeared in the distance and prepared an ambush.

Hinata called out: "He has his plaque on his neck! Prepare for Naru Chan's!"

The little monsters changed their mentality, from happy tourists to bloodthirsty hunters. The Jonin watched it slack-jawed, the first ambush failed miserably for my clones, Hinata spotted them easily, and they got disposed of in mere seconds. When my Chakra was full again I made eight others, this way I became better at making traps, and the monste… kids were better at spotting them.

I almost got them when one of my clones henged into a small dog with a crippled leg. With puppy eyes it looked up until Kiba got closer and stomped on it "You don't smell like a dog!" like I said, little monste… kids.

Choji and Isobu had fun too, they practiced merging and fighting clones. My job? Collecting all the chattered equipment. Accio Shuriken and Kunai after every fight was easy, telling who the owner was, was not.

When we arrived at the village, the Jonin didn't think that the Chakra metal was easily earned. I gave them their reward and thanked them "Here you go, I must say it was a lot of fun, we have to do that again sometimes, we learned a lot."

I went to a three and shouted: "Thank you for babysitting us Dog Anbu and Cat San! I didn't see you guys at all! Very stealthy."

I had to dodge some kunai, but it was worth it.
