Dex's POV;

Time Skip, 1 Year and two weeks;

The year went over and I overflew my own expectations. It seems like Shadow Clones are perfect for increasing the Chakra capacity. Even Kura-chan was impressed with the amount of Chakra I now have. She said that I have the same amount of Chakra as the One-Tailed Raccoon.

Also known as the one-tailed Bijuu, Shukaku.

My two hundred clones increased to amounts that aren't earthly. I don't know how many I currently can make. I always stop at thousand. The memories get just too many when I dispel them.

My Blood Clone also managed to learn how to sneak or make traps for me. He's constantly on the run from the villagers. Only daytime is safe for him. We even had to remake him twice.

Yuugao-nee and I are now like real siblings. She often helped me with questions about different things, but she also learned that I'm way more mature than any other child she has seen.

I sometimes ask the Hokage if he now knows about my seal or why the villagers treat me like they do, but he still plays dumb. He should have noticed by now that I'm not like other children.

I'm now ready for my journey and I have three more years before I want to go to the Academy. It's possible to go when you're 9, but I choose to go when I'm 8. Especially talented are allowed to go earlier.

The Academy takes four years to finish and my Blood Clone will go when he's 7. That way he can fail three times and come then in the same class as the original Naruto.

I want to go when I'm 8 because then I'm going to be in a class with Lee, Neji, and TenTen.

Anyway, back to my training results.

I completed the normal Rasengan and am now working on putting my element into it, which is by the way wind, like the original Naruto and my hoped element. Wind and water are the strongest elements in my opinion. Both are necessary for the human and with enough control, I hope to manipulate the human body to my liking. And vacuum attacks are awesome.

I was also able to create a few Jutsu, but nothing that I would rate over C-Rank, the Rasengan is still the most powerful Jutsu I can use.

Our, my and Kura-chan's, plan is to give her the other Chakra half back and then train in more destructive Jutsu. I wasn't able to train much in the Mangekyou-Sharingan, except for Genjutsu.

I'm now always using a Mangekyou-Sharingan Genjutsu to hide my original hair colour and whisker marks. Seems like not even the Byakugan can see through such a Genjutsu. Well, it's not called the best Dojutsu for nothing.

The more destructive Jutsus are highly Chakra consuming, which will alert others. So no progress in that department as well.

On the other hand, I had a breakthrough in Fuinjutsu. It's really easy with a high enough vocabulary and Shadow Clones. I'm already in Chapter 9. You're considered a skilled Fuinjutsu user when you reach Chapter 7. And I plan to cheat my way through the rest in the next training year.

Well, as I said, high ranked Jutsu and skills that come with the Mangekyou are too destructive for a low profile, so I have to train them outside. Further training won't be a problem with three more years to go.

I didn't manage to create Chakra Chains, it seems like I have to visit Uzushiogakure and hope to find some remains about their bloodline.

Well then, time to go.

“Kura-chan? It's time”, I said and took enough of my blood out of the inventory. I then created a Blood Clone and used my special Henge to change into the form I'm now going to use. Kura-chan made an image how I'm going to look when I'm an adult.

I'm now 1.8 metres tall, which makes me taller than most other people. My hair is blond and spiky like that of Naruto, just a little bit longer. The whisker marks are hidden behind a face mask like Kakashi's. I'll take it off when I'm out of the village. I have my own mask.

I now wore black wide pants with red flames on the sides, a muscle t-shirt and black leather gloves. My shoes were black boots with steel caps and a black trench coat with a hood was on my shoulders. The Kanji for nine printed on the back.

I then told my second Blood Clone to keep training and left the house.

After walking straight through the village and out of the gate I went astray from the path through the forest.

My shadow clones were searching my destination for over four months, until they found it.

The remains of the Uzumaki compound, and with it the Reaper Death mask. My clones had to use the Mangekyou-Sharingan to find the compound. It was guarded by Genjutsu that was made by seals. Those things could produce Genjutsu strong enough to fool a normal Sharingan.

Thirty minutes later I activated my eyes and saw the almost rotten compound. It's sad how such a great clan like the Uzumaki fell into oblivion. Karin is definitely on the list of people I'm going to help. I do wonder if Tayuya is an Uzumaki. She does have the hair for it.

Sadly I'll only be able to find Karin during the Chunin exam, like many others who I plan to recruit. Orochimaru does many things, but finding young and talented people is surely one of the things he is really good with. However, not so good with creating loyalty that will last. They all fear him or are manipulated through the curse mark. Only Kimimaru and Kabuto are known for their real loyalty.

I once secretly looked at Anko's mark with my Sharingan and am now working on a way to remove it. It's a high ranked curse seal and I'm, as of now, not experienced and skilled enough to remove it.

I walked inside the destroyed main house and searched with the help of a few clones for the cellar.

Once found I climbed down and took the right mask from its place. Another Blood Clone then put the mask on and sliced his stomach open with a knife.

The Shinigami appeared behind him and a soul came out of it. That was the first part of my plan.

“I just want to thank you”, suddenly said Kura-chan from inside the seal.

“Why? If it brings me closer to your fluffy tails I'm willing to do much more than to summon the dead and trick a death god”, I said facetiously.

“No other human I know would do such thinks just for me gaining more power. A power that could very well be said humans doom”, she said.

“We had that specific talk already when I ripped parts of the seal off. I know that you aren't as evil as people say you are. You're just tired of the constant war and your enslavement and sealing. I would be as well if I had to stay unmoving for almost a hundred years. Or in constant fear of being controlled by a Sharingan.

I'll try to find a way to let you out sometimes after all this is done. I sometimes read fan fictions about using a clone and putting your soul into it. Or switching my seal into a summoning seal. There are also some stories that say that you have a summoning contract and that you're the boss of it. And if nothing helps at all, then I'm simply going to release you from my seal”, I said and began to create a third Blood Clone.

She chooses to stay silent.

Over the curse of the year we grew closer, I also managed to keep her out of my thoughts. Her new form is simply too hot. I may not be able to feel it physically, but my brain certainly does already think like an adult. And as such I'm sometimes finding myself staring at her when I'm inside my mindscape.

She's now a 1.65 centimetres tall woman. Her skin is white and her hair reaches just above her behind. It's a bright orange and looks extremely silky and smooth, with red streaks at the tips. Her face is the definition of perfection with two fox ears on top, while her body has the right proportions to my liking. A somewhat small waist and c-cup breasts. I can not help, but to think that she took the image of her body from my mind. She also stayed true to her word and has nine long and fluffy tails. They came directly out of her tail bone and simply look too pretty to be true. She mostly wears a white kimono.

And her voice now sounds like a song to the ear.

She still tries to bring me away from my plan to make her stronger. Don't know why maybe to see if I am afraid of her. I noticed that that is one of the things she fears the most. Being afraid. All her playing strong and dangerous is only a farce to see who is really going to stay with her. I think she once already had a human body but connects bad memories with it.

Maybe knowing that I'm unbiased pushed her to try it again? She might tell me sometimes in the future.

For now, I have to see my father.

“Well then, let's begin”, I said and made the signs for the Edo Tensei, with my Blood Clone as the sacrifice. The clone began to scream in pain, while paper-clips engulfed him fully. That means that this technique overcomes my [Insensitivity to Pain].

A moment later the form of Minato stood in front of me. His skin with cracked and his eyes still clothed. I put the sealing tag in his head and his eyes snapped open, their whites was fully black and his blue eyes shone a little.

“What? I thought I'm dead”, he said confused and looked around.

“This is the Uzumaki clan compound, what happened?”, he then said and spotted me.

“Who're you?”, he asked a bit wary.

“Hi dad, let me release the Henge”, I said and did as I said. I now stood in front of my dead father, with all my five-year-old glory.

“N...Naruto? But... but you are a child”, he said confused as hell.

“You have to grow up quickly if you went through what I did”, I replied flatly.

“What do you mean? Jiraja wouldn't do anything to you”, he then said.

“Yes, exactly he wouldn't to anything to me. Not even bringing me out of the hell hole called Konoha”, I said and he looked at me before it clicked.

“Oh no, please no”, he then said fearfully.

“Oh yes, someone came up with the idea that I'm the Kyuubi and thought he should torture me. And with torture, I mean hitting, cutting, gutting, etching and starving me. They made it a game to play dart on my back and the best thing was. I was not even a year old”, I said without emotions and he began to cry in sorrow.

“I'm so sorry. I thought the village will see you as a hero. That Jiraja and Sarutobi will take care of you or Tsunade”, he said and hugged me.

“Well, apparently Sarutobi didn't know of the abuse and only helped after I killed some Ninja by using the Chakra of Kura-chan. And what do you mean about Tsunade?”, I said and he reluctantly released the hug.

“Tsunade was your godmother, Shizune and Kushina were two of her apprentices”, he explained and it sounded logical. Kushina is even related to her. Mito is the great or great, great aunt of Kushina and Mito is also the grandmother of her.

“What did you do to summon me?”, Minato then asked and looked at his cracked skin.

“The Edo Tensei”, I replied and he stocked.

“You sacrificed someone to bring me back?”, he asked slowly.

“Not really, I used a Blood Clone”, I said and he sighed in relief.

“Well then, what can I do for you?”, he asked.

“Two things actually. The first thing is to release Kura-chan's Yin half”, I said and his eyes widen.

“Why should I release it's Chakra?”, he asked sternly.

“Because, it's a she and not an it. She is also a friend of mine and I want her to be fully again”, I said.

“She?”, was the reply he came up with.

“Yes, the Kyuubi is a she. And really beautiful at that”, I said.

“What a charmer”, said Kura-chan sweetly from inside the seal.

“Äh, are you sure? I mean it's the demon fox”, he tried to reason.

“And? She was at first controlled by the masked man and then angry for being attacked and sealed for nearly a hundred years”, I countered and he went silent.

“°sigh° Well, I don't really like it”, he began but I interrupted him.

“You don't really have a choice, I'm able to control you”, I said and he looked down at me.

“Yes you do, you would really force me to help her?”, he asked again.

“Yes, she's a friend of mine. One of the few I have and I get to pet her tails when I give her her other half back”, I said and both Minato and Kurama face faulted at my last argument.

“You still want to pet my magnificent tails? Not that it's not the obvious choice everyone would do, but that's one of your reasons?”, she asked in wonder.

“Eh, okay.... Are her tails really so good?”, Minato asked with a small blush. Don't know how he managed to blush in an Edo Tensei, but he did.

“They just look so fluffy”, I replied in clear reference and he could only nod.

“There are three things that decide my actions. Chicken, new experiences and fluffy things and her tails are both fluffy and new for me”, I explained and he nodded again.

“Okay...then give me a moment. Oh and can I talk to her?”, he asked.

“Uh, can he?”, I asked Kura-chan.

“No, you would need to rip half of the seal off, for me to give you control over your body. It wouldn't give me full control, as you will always be able to take it back, but I would be able to act with your body”, she explained.

“Wait a moment, I just need to rip half of the seal off”, I said and before he could protest I was inside the seal and walked up to Kura-chan.

She was sitting behind her bars and watched me as I walked over to the seal and promptly ripped half of the seal off.

I went back out and gave her my body to control. It felt strange, not being in control. Like watching the memories of my clones. Just a little bit different. I still felt my body, I just couldn't move it and I also felt that I could force it to move.

“I can't believe he did that. Isn't he at least a little bit concerned about me taking control?”, she said now in my body. Her voice was way deeper than my own and held some clear strength with it.

“Ähm, Kyuubi?”, asked my dad a little taken back by the sudden event.

“Ah, Minato you bastard. Well, thanks to you I'm sealed again, but your son is something special. He came inside my seal and blatantly said that he wants to be my friend and that he will bring me back to full power. Can you imagine that? A four-year-old child tells the Kyuubi no Kitsune that he's going to give one of the most feared creatures more power. Ha, he's something”, she ranted and he could only stare at her.

“Well, thanks for taking care of him”, Minato said as she finished and she looked up at him with questioning gaze.

“I think he thinks of you as a friend because you must've healed him from the wounds he received from the villagers”, he said and spat the word villagers.

“Is that true?”, she then asked me.

“Äh, maybe? I mean you're always with me and knows all my memories and didn't think of me as a monster for what I did in my previous live”, I replied a little meekly. I'm not good if it comes to speaking about my feelings.

“As if, you only ate some children and killed a few million. That isn't something I would shy away from. And your, even if it's the natural thing to do, love for my tails is also a huge boost”, she said.

“Well, I just wanted to ask you to take care of my son. If he's somewhat like me or his mother, then he will be in constant trouble”, Minato said sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head.

“Uhm, sure?”, said Kura-chan and gave the control back to me.

“Okay dad, could now please unseal Kura-chan's Yin half?”, I asked the moment I could speak and my father made a lot of hand signs, before grabbing his own stomach.

“UNSEAL!”, he then shouted and turned his hand clockwise.

A large red Chakra column shot in the sky.

“Dex-kun, I'm going to draw the Chakra inside your seal. It will be absorbed and will also hurt like hell”, said Kura-chan and the Chakra fell down at me. It felt like the initial sealing and burned like hell. It took a few minutes to be absorbed into me and I fell down and panted hard.

My father was quickly next to me and laid a hand on my shoulder.

“It's good that we're inside the Uzumaki compound, it has seals, that prevents any Chakra leakage. Otherwise, half the Elemental Country would have felt that”, he said and helped me into a sitting position.

“Yes, thanks”, I replied and took a few deep breaths.

“Dex-kun? Thank you so much! It feels wonderful to be whole again. Thank you, thank you, thank you”, shouted Kura-chan happily from inside my mind.

“Hehehe, now I'll be allowed to cuddle with these tails”, I chuckled darkly and Minato grinned fondly.

“You're allowed to do more”, came a silent reply from Kura-chan, which I didn't hear rightly.

“What was that Kura-chan? I couldn't hear you”, I replied.

“Nothing, ask your father about the Hiraishin”, she quickly replied.

“Okay dad, my second reason for reviving you, concerns the Hiraishin. I can't use your seal tag. Is there a reason for it?”, I said and followed Kura-chan's obvious attempt to change the topic.

“Oh the reason for that is easy, you need to make your own seal. Mine are linked to me and only I'm able to activate them”, replied Minato matter of factly.

“Wait, you are skilled in the art of sealing”, he then asked as he really processed the question.

“Yup, I'm also able to use your Rasengan and am currently trying to put my wind element into it”, I answered.

“Oh, that's great. I never archived that. Hope you will”, he said proudly.

“I already did, the problem is that it's harming me as well. I'm searching for a way to throw it. But I don't know how, other that by guiding it with Senjutsu (Elemental Energy/Mana)”, I said and he looked awed.

“But you're only five”, he said in shock.

“You heard of Shadow Clones?”, I asked and he nodded dumbly.

“Well, they can increase your training and I have so much Chakra, that I'm able to use them on mass. One day training, with an eight-hour training time, has the same effect for me as four years of constant none pause training.

I'm currently as strong as a high Jonin, just not as used to fighting in this body. I also don't have the same muscle mass as them and as such less strength. But I'm almost done with the training that gives me the same strength as Tsunade”, I said and is mouth flapped like that of a fish.

“My son is a genius!”, he then shouted excitedly. He then hugged me and spin me around.

“You can put me down now”, I said a little disoriented. He did and grinned stupidly.

“I'm so proud of you”, he then said.

“Thanks, but I have to go now. There are things on my list to do. Oh, and I won't lift the technique completely. That way no one will be able to summon you, other than me. Like Orochimaru. Oh yeah, he defected from the village and is out for vengeance, he would surely try to resurrect you. Is that okay?”, I asked.

“Sure, but please kick my awareness out, while you don't need me. It would get boring otherwise”, he said and I summoned the coffin, in which he will be put until I need him again.

“So what now?”, asked Kura-chan from inside my seal.

“Now we're visiting Uzushiogakure and train. There are a few things I need to do. And everything starts now”, I replied and put my Henge back on, before tree hopping towards Uzushiogakure.

Damn, I'm in a run. It just makes fun to write. Don't expect me to keep this fast pace up. It surely won't last and I won't post anything when I have to work.

So yeah, words you don't understand? Opinions and suggestions?
