The Fox Kit
The five adults in the room glanced at each other as Iruka picked up the quite happy, word-vomiting child. He placed Naruto on his lap and placed his finger on the child's mouth which stopped the babbling.
"What do you mean 'Tou-san' and 'Kaa-san'? Who is Kura-nii?" The former dolphin ANBU asked the child.
Naruto grinned his foxy grin that he somehow made cute, genuine and mischievous all at the same time.
"I mean Tou-san and Kaa-san! I think they once said their names were something like Minatoo (Minna-2) and Kusiina (Coo-see-na) but I call them Kaa-San and Tou-San. Kura-Nii is a huge fluffy fox that lives in my brain! He's super nice and calls me kit. He lets me sleep on his tails, Dattebayo! They're suuuuuuper fluffy!" The innocent blonde sunshine explained, completely butchering the names of the fourth Hokage and the Red Hot-Blooded Habenero.
The others just stared dumbfounded as Kakashi just choked on his breath.
"Naruto, do you mean Minato and Kushina?" He asked, already knowing that the fox was the Kyuubi. Jiraiya will have to look at the seal when he decides to visit again.
"Yatta! Those names! I also get visits from Jiji-Moku, Jiji-Mizu, Jiji-Katon and Sage-Murasakime. They only stick around for a few hours though and I never got their names..." Naruto seemed to deflate at this little fact.
The ex-ANBU were trying to figure out who 'grandpa-wood', 'grandpa-water', 'grandpa-fire' and 'Sage-Purple-eye' were. (Can you guess?) Kakashi just sighed and bent down to pick Naruto up off Iruka's lap.
"Naruto, how long have you been hearing these people?" Kakashi asked while watching fondly as Naruto fiddled with the pockets of his Jonin vest.
"As long as I can remember Inu-nii-san" Naruto replied sticking one of his fingers into Kakashi's right breast pocket.
Kakashi just smiled as Iruka cooed and Asuma and Kurenai smiled and Itachi had his classic Uchiha smirk. (Did Kakashi sense sincerity in those coal eyes???) Naruto suddenly looked up and gasped as if he had remembered something.
"Oh! And there is this big white room with toys and pillows where eight other people are! They've also got big animals in their brains! I only enter it when I fall asleep though. Suna-Nii doesn't visit often because he says he can't sleep." Naruto exclaimed a little sadly.
Naruto's pupils then started to elongate into slits. He tapped Kakashi on the shoulder and pointed too the floor as a signal to get down. Kakashi complied as Naruto had suddenly gained a rather serious look on his face. Once on the floor the Kyuubi container started making hand seals as his eyes turned red with the pupils now complete slits. Naruto slammed his hands down onto the floor of the apartment and seals for Chakra suppression and privacy seals appeared on the walls. Red Chakra started leaking out of every pore on Naruto's body as it grew and stretched into a vaguely familiar fox shape. All the adults in the room had drawn their weapons and Kakashi had a Kyuubi suppression paper seal in his hand. The Kyuubi, or the Kyuubi's Chakra, turned to the adults and watched the weapons and seal very carefully.
"Now, Now. No need for that. I'm simply here to talk. Put those ninja toys away." The Chakra fox ground out in his low gravelly voice, scooping up the now sleeping Naruto in his tails.
The Ex-ANBU lurched as they looked at Naruto. It seemed as though the blond haired sunshine child had grown a pair of fox ears and a tail. True, it made him look cuter than he already was but they were wary as it could be a sign of the Kyuubi trying to escape. In response they just tightened their hold on their weapons but made no move towards the fox as the beast still had Naruto in his grasp. The red Chakra in the shape of the Kyuubi no Kitsune just sighed and sat back on its translucent haunches.
"Listen and listen well. I'm only explaining this once. The night I was sealed inside the Kit multiple things happened. A masked man calling himself 'Madara Uchiha' appeared a few minutes after Naruto was born and proceeded to tear me from Kushina. It was... A painful process for both of us. As much as I despise being chained down Kushina was the nicest Jinchuuriki I've had and, whether you believe it or not I do not care, I hate killing living beings. The tailed beasts are actually peaceful creatures and were created from the Juubi, the ten tails, after the Sage of Six Paths split its chakra nine ways. We were created as guardians of a specific area.
I am the guardian of the Will of Fire or the 'Fire of the pure of heart', Sealing/Fuinjutsu and Chakra. I am also the only Biju able too bring all my siblings and jinchuuriki together in what the kit calls, The Playroom. My Jinchuuriki should be pure of heart and mix of all my sibling's Jinchuuriki's amplified. I am proficient in wind and lightning as well.
The eight tails is the guardian of Earth, Kenjutsu and moral, His Jinchuuriki should be calm-ish and has a talent for boosting moral. He is also proficient in water and wind.
The seven tails is the guardian of Wind, Genjutsu and good spirit, Their Jinchuuriki is no doubt happy and cheerful all the time. They are also proficient in Water and lightning.
The six tails is the guardian of acids/poisons, senbonjutsu and peace of mind. Her Jinchuuriki is calm and collected and thinks things through. She is also proficient in earth.
The five tails is the guardian of Speed and travelers. He doesn't have a specific element but can be known to use earth. His Jinchuuriki should either be a traveler, merchant or a missing Nin.
The four tails is the guardian of Lava, strength and persuasion. His Jinchuuriki should be powerful with a sharp tongue. He also likes too use Fire and Earth.
The three tails is the guardian of Water, healing and leadership. His Jinchuuriki is destined too become a Kage at somepoint in his life. The unfortunate thing is he is the easiest to control and manipulate as he only wields one element.
The Two tails is the Guardian of Normal fire/Blur fire, Stealth and comfort. Her Jinchuuriki should be like a cat and has the ability to calm others too an extent. She also uses lightning.
The one tails is the Guardian of substances. Like sand or sawdust and mental stability. His Jinchuuriki should be able too control any material that has any resemblance too sand and his mind should be hard too break. Unfortunately his sealing went wrong and it seems as though my brother has been distorted.
All of us Biju can be controlled by the Uchiha Kekkei Genkai, The Sharingan. More specifically, the Mangekyou Sharingan. The masked man on that night bore the very same Sharingan as I have sensed on your dog Ninja. He used it too control me. I killed the Kit's parents and it brought me back too my senses. I was regretful. As I was being sealed I pulled Minato and Kushina's souls from the Shingami and gave him two of the lost shinobi's souls instead. The Yondaime Hokage and his wife are sealed withing the child as I am. It also seems like I had opened a pathway too the human world for the spirits and the previous Hokages and the Sage himself come too visit us." The Kyuubi finished his story with a grim look upon his strangely shaped face.
Iruka, Asuma, Kurenai and Itachi Were all shocked by what had just been revealed. The fell into the seats behind them with wide eyes. Kakashi was a whole different story however. The Kyuubi had just essentially revealed that his long dead beast friend was not actually dead but a super villain who wanted too destroy Konoha. Obito was alive and seeking vengeance. His heart tore in two as the silver haired ninja sunk too his knees. He had lost Rin and now Obito was still out there looking too decimate his home. His heart fixed itself slightly when he realized that his sensei was still there with him through his son. Kakashi pulled himself together and sat back on his chair.
"The Kit needs protecting. We shielded him from the mental damage the... Assault would have provided him with. Your Nidaime, Senju Tobirama I believe, managed too seal away his memories of that night but we would all prefer if you would stop anything like that from happening again. Hashirama, Tobirama and surprisingly Madara would have no qualms in tearing the villagers too pieces with his parents and my help." The Nine tails threatened lightly.
"Don't Worry Kyuubi, Nothing like that will ever happen again on our watch." Iruka promised vehemently.
The red Chakra shifted and started too retreat back into Naruto's sleeping form which the Kyuubi had placed on Itachi's lap at some point through the discussion.
" Thank you. Take care of the Kit. Oh, And Call me Kurama from now on!" The red chakra completely dissolved and the seals glowed then shattered as the spell broke.
Naruto lay sleeping on Itachi's lap. The normally stoic Uchiha was petting the blonde's hair with an expression switching between murderous, indifferent and loving. Kakashi motioned for Itachi too put Naruto back into the bedroom. When he came back they all settled down and looked at their former Taichou expectantly.
"Team, we have a mission."
