Chapter 93: Unsealed Vexation
Tsukune knocked on Naruto's door, offering to bring him to the cafeteria for breakfast. Naruto agreed. He woke up Kurama, who happily joined them. Kurama excitedly awoke Sasuke, nearly dragging the raven out of bed. Sasuke glared at Kurama as they grabbed their food. Kurumu came out of nowhere to hug Tsukune. A golden washtub appeared out of thin air and fell down on her. Then Yukari grabbed Tsukune's arm. Naruto wondered where the washtub came from while Kurama and Sasuke were busy arguing. Sasuke really hated being woken up, especially since it was by Kurama. Kurama just didn't care, choosing to annoy him even more.
Tsukune's friends joined them at a table. Kurama and Sasuke finally stopped fighting as they ate instead. Naruto found out that the reason the washtub appeared was because Yukari summoned it using magic. Yukari explained her abilities as a witch. She told him that Ruby was also a witch. "That's so cool," Naruto said. Yukari was instantly reminded of all the praises that RVNaruto gave her. It made her feel really good.
"I'm a succubus!" Kurumu bragged. She leaned over the table, flaunting her breasts.
Naruto blushed. "I-I see." Kurama frowned while Sasuke glared at Kurumu.
Fang Fang noticed the glare and couldn't help but grin. "I'm a yasha. Basically, I can shapeshift, summon some creatures, and use Youjutsu." Fang Fang began to explain what Youjutsu is. This made Naruto explain his jutsus and taijutsu. Sasuke snorted as Naruto talked about his sexy jutsu.
Naruto glared at him. "What?"
"That's not a real jutsu," Sasuke said.
"It is too!" Naruto yelled. He put his hands together. The moment the henge activated, chaos ensued. The boys either got red or passed out from blood loss. The only exceptions to this were Sasuke, Kurama, and Fang Fang. Tsukune had turned red and Kurumu and Mizore had instantly blocked him from seeing more. The other girls in the cafeteria started yelling, causing Naruto to quickly change back. Moka and Yukari were still red as Kurumu and Mizore let Tsukune go. Some girls walked right up to Naruto and called him a pervert. He looked to Sasuke for help.
"You've made your bed," Sasuke said with a smirk. "Now lie in it." Naruto pouted. He accepted being yelled at in silence. Eventually, the girls gave up and walked away.
"That's not fair," a voice said. "They didn't even beat you up."
"Because unlike you, Naruto didn't mean to hurt anyone," Kurumu said.
"Yeah, Gin-senpai," Yukari said. "He's not a pervert that goes around taking pictures of girls while they're changing!"
"That's not…" Gin said. "Anyway, I didn't know you were back. And I see you brought a… friend."
"I'm not him," Naruto said. "I'm another Naruto from a different world."
"That's interesting," Gin said. "Maybe we should do an interview."
"You just want him to perform that jutsu again so you can take pictures!" Kurumu yelled. Mizore, Yukari, and Moka nodded in agreement.
"You wound me," Gin said. "I'd never do something like that."
"That sounds exactly like something you would do," Tsukune said.
"You too, Tsukune?" Gin asked.
"Did you forget that you tried to frame me for things you've done?" Tsukune asked.
"That was a long time ago," Gin said. "Besides, after everything we've been through, I thought we'd made it past that."
"Leave Tsukune alone, you pervert," Kurumu said. Gin looked around, but when he saw no sympathy, he turned around and walked away, his tail between his legs.
Naruto blinked at that. "He's a Werewolf," Yukiari said. Naruto nodded.

Naruto, Kurama, and Sasuke returned to their rooms while the others went to class. Sasuke chose to write in his journal while Naruto was going through his clothes, separating the ones that didn't fit him anymore from the ones that still did. He'd only grown a couple of inches, but it was enough to make some of his pants too short. He was still shorter than Sasuke though, which meant that he had gotten taller. It pissed Naruto off that he may never grow to be taller than Sasuke. Kurama on the other hand removed the cloak he'd been wearing. He couldn't continue wearing it. But he wasn't about to ask Sasuke for more clothes. They wouldn't fit anyway. The only reason the cloak fit him was because it had been made bigger than the rest of Sasuke's clothes. He begrudgingly put the cloak back on and went to ask Naruto for some money so he'd be able to buy clothes that actually fit.
"Kit, I need more clothes," Kurama said. He looked around at the piles of clothes Naruto had made. "It looks like you need some new ones too."
"We'll have to wait until we go to a different world," Naruto said. "One with some stores."
"Then at least wash this cloak," Kurama said. "Wearing it so long is gross."
"Then take on your fox form," Naruto said.
Kurama nodded. He quickly shifted into a fox, the cloak dropping to the floor. He jumped out from under it and onto Naruto's bed. "I'll wait here."
Naruto grabbed the cloak along with some of his own dirty clothes. He stopped by Sasuke's room to grab some of his. Naruto threw the items into the washer. When he got back to his room, he found Kurama asleep. He looked so comfortable that it made Naruto sleepy. He cuddled against the fox, falling asleep. Tsukune woke him up a few hours later. Naruto quickly put the clothes in the dryer. When they knocked on Sasuke's door, they didn't receive an answer. Naruto pushed the door open only to see that Sasuke wasn't there.
It turned out that Sasuke had gone outside. He walked to the tunnel to inspect it. He didn't learn anything new though. Loving the silence, Sasuke sat down under a tree, bringing out a book to read. The quietness didn't last long.
"Hey!" A large kid with yellow eyes and purple hair said. There were several other boys behind him. "You are that same thing as that blond kid right? Then you should be able to do that same thing." He got into Sasuke's face. "Go on. Turn into a naked girl for us." The boys behind him cheered in agreement.
Sasuke glared at them, causing all of them to take a step back, except the apparent leader of the group. Sasuke blamed it on the boy's stupidity. He sighed, closing the book he'd been reading. "Why did you come to me and not Naruto?"
"Because he's been hanging out with Moka-san," the leader said. His eyes suddenly lit up. "Are you able to transform into any girl? Can you transform into Moka-san?"
"If you want to see naked girls so badly, go find a girlfriend," Sasuke said. He opened the book again.
A hand was slammed down on the book, crinkling a couple pages. "That's not funny!" the leader yelled. "Not all of us are pretty boys like you!" Some of the other boys nodded and a few yeahs were said.
"It's not my job to satisfy your curiosity," Sasuke said. "Now leave me alone." His Sharingan activated, but he didn't use its powers. His patience was running thin, but he didn't want to cause trouble either. These people were monsters; who knew what powers they had.
"Grrr…" the leader growled. "Grab him!" A few of the boys started to surround Sasuke. He rolled his eyes. If these idiots thought he wouldn't put up a fight, they were deadly mistaken.
"What's going on?" someone asked. Everyone turned to see Naruto and Tsukune walking towards them. Kurama sitting on Naruto's head, still in fox form. Naruto's eyes narrowed. "What are you guys doing?"
"I'm sick of you getting all of the girls' attention, Tsukune!" the leader yelled. "There's only three of them! Get them!"
All of the boys spread out and attacked. But things didn't go their way. The fight was so easy, that Sasuke was able to keep reading while taking down the ones that attacked him. Seeing that they were losing, they began to transform. It didn't help them. Naruto and Sasuke were able to knock them all out. Tsukune admired their swift movement and the fact that Kurama hadn't fallen off of Naruto's head.
"Tsukune!" Kurumu yelled, running towards him. She glomped him. "Are you alright?" The other girls also looked concerned.
"I'm fine," Tsukune said. "I didn't have to do anything." His left hand went to his right wrist. It brought Naruto, Kurama, and Sasuke's attention to the rosemary. Naruto and Kurama easily recognized it as a seal. Sasuke still had his Sharingan activated, so he could see the Yoki leaking from the seal.
"So you are a vampire too?" Naruto asked, remembering that Moka had told them what she was.
"No," Tsukune said. "I'm a ghoul. It is a long story." He looked around at the unconscious people. "It would be best to explain things elsewhere." Naruto nodded. The group followed Tsukune to the Newspaper Club room. On the way, Sasuke gave the leader of the attackers a little kick before letting his Sharingan vanish. Once they were in the Club room, Tsukune began to explain how he was a human until Moka had to give him her blood in order to save him, more than once. He then went on to explain how his rosemary seal works.
"Yoki is leaking out of it," Sasuke said.
"The seal is slightly broken," Naruto said. "You need a better seal." Naruto walked over to Tsukune, grabbing his head. "I can help, but it won't be permanent, especially if you tap into that power."
"That's what the Headmaster said as well," Tsukune said.
Naruto nodded. "He's correct. But it seems the one he gave you is already breaking. You have two options." Naruto held up a finger. "First, you can continue as you are, only the rosemary will stop working and you'll be forced to fight against your ghoul side." He put up a second finger. "Or I can put another seal on top of the rosemary, only it will prevent you from accessing your ghoul side unless you break it. And since I won't be here, I won't be able to reset the seal after you break it. However, if you never break it, you will remain as a human. The choice is yours. Just know that you have to make it soon." He got up. "Now if you excuse me, I have some laundry to check on." He left Kurama behind.
"What will you do, Tsukune?" Moka asked.
"I… I don't know," Tsukune said. "I mean, I'd love to go back to being a human, but I also like having the power to protect all of you. If I could just learn how to control it…"
"Then there is no point in having the Kit seal up those powers of yours," Kurama said. Everyone turned to the fox. He jumped onto the desk in front of Sasuke. With a smirk, he sat down, smacking Sasuke in the face with his tails. Sasuke glared at him, but didn't say anything. "The Kit's seals are strong and I doubt anyone could perform them like he can."
"I'll… I'll think about it," Tsukune said. Kurama nodded. Tsukune's group started working on their next newspaper. Kurama chose to take another nap while Sasuke went back to his book. Gin popped in at one point along with Fang Fang. Yukari ended up knocking Gin out with a wash bin. Getting annoyed, Sasuke got up and returned to the dorm, jumping up and onto the roof. He finally got to enjoy the peace and quiet. When the club was over, Tsukune brought Kurama to him. Kurama took the now clean cloak, putting it on while taking on his human form.
"What are you going to do with those clothes," Kurama asked, motioning to the pile off to the side.
"I'm getting rid of them since they don't fit right anymore," Naruto said.
"Too bad," Kurama said. "Most of them are still in good condition. I'm glad you're getting rid of that hideous orange jumpsuit of yours. Honestly, shinobi shouldn't wear such ugly and bright clothes."
Naruto pouted. "I happen to like orange."
Kurama gave him a look. "Your favorite color is red." He grinned. "Like the Uchiha's cursed eyes."
Naruto blushed. "T-that's not why I like that color."
"Sure."
"You…" a green light flashed from the bracelet on Naruto's wrist. It shot towards Kurama's. A bracelet that matched his own appeared on Kurama's arm.
Watanui's voice came from the new bracelet. "I thought it would be good to give you one as well. It is linked to Naruto's so that you two don't get separated."
"What's the price?" Kurama asked.
"It has already been paid for," Watanuki said. He didn't say anything else.
"Interesting," Kurama said. He stared at the bracelet, admiring it. Naruto finished sorting out the clean clothes and brought Sasuke's to his room. Sasuke didn't answer so Naruto let himself in. The room was identical to his. Sasuke's backpack was on his bed. A journal was next to it. Naruto put the clothes down before he looked at the journal. He could see that it had a seal on it. It was very tempting to break it, but he decided against it. He didn't have the right to pry into Sasuke's privacy. He turned around to find Sasuke standing there.
"I brought your clean clothes," Naruto said.
"Hn," Sasuke grunted.
"Right," Naruto said. "See you later." He began to walk past Sasuke, only for the raven to grab his arm. Silence filled the air. "I didn't read it."
"I know," Sasuke said. He released Naruto's arm. "That's not… I… nevermind."
Naruto turned around and grabbed Sasuke's arm. "Tell me. I want to hear what you have to say."
"It wasn't anything," Sasuke said. He pulled his arm free and walked over to his bed. He put away his clothes and his journal.
Naruto frowned. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get Sasuke to say anything. He left Sasuke's room, returning to his own. Kurama turned to him, opening his mouth to say something, only to close it. Instead, he walked over to Naruto and pulled him into his arms. Neither said anything as Naruto let Kurama comfort him.
When he heard the door close behind Naruto, Sasuke turned towards it. He closed his eyes with a sigh. Turning back to his bag, he zipped it up and put it on the floor. He then got on the bed, laying down on his side. He stared at the wall for a few seconds. 'I can't tell him. Not yet.'

Naruto, Kurama, and Sasuke had to deal with a few more attacks from the male students at Yokai High. Some of the attackers were in groups depending on which girl they wanted to see naked. A couple girls also wanted to see how the transformation jutsu worked. It was starting to become a bother. Even Naruto was starting to get annoyed. He was amazed that both Kurama and Sasuke hadn't killed anyone yet. But he knew that if things continued, someone was going to die. Luckily, time was on Naruto's side. At the end of lunch, their bracelets lit up. After giving their goodbyes, the familiar green light surrounded them. Kurama got to feel the shift in space for the first time, as the three of them were teleported to another world.
