Dexter's POV;

I was thrilling a jaunty tune while extracting Choumei's Chakra. Turned out that the extraction can be done without pain, for both the extractor and the supplier. It's just terribly slow.... I think I'm doing this now forty hours none stop. Okay, this is way faster than what Akatsuki was capable of with their three days extraction for each Bijuu, but still. I'm sure I could have finished after four hours if I just had burned away my arms again.

At least Kura-chan isn't moaning into my head, she did say that it still feels good, but more like a good back rub and not like intense and heavenly foreplay.

So here I am, sitting behind Fu and sucking out Choumei's Chakra. I was telling her some of my previous adventures as Clair in the form of normal stories.

“Did Clair really hug her opponent during a tournament?”, she asked while laughing loudly. I just finished with the school tournament, it was still at the start of my second life and a lot of fun.

“Oh yes, she even used him as a climbing tree”, I confirmed. The guy I was climbing on at that time had a real common name, but I simply can't remember it. It was such a Max Musterman name, one you simply forget easily.

“What else did she do?”, asked Fu. She was really enjoying the friendly attention that I and the others were giving her. A bubbly girl that would have bloomed like a flower, if she hasn't been a Jinchuriki.

Well, her status is secret in Uzu and those who know aren't treating her any worse for it.

“Hmm, there was this one time where she decided she wanted to cuddle with lots of bunnies, so she went into a pet shop and bought every bunny the owner had. At the end, she has had over thirty bunnies, all of them fluffier and cuter than the other.

And because she was good with animals the bunnies all listened to her. So there she was, walking through the town with a parade of over thirty bunnies following her, all of them hopping in a neat line and looking cute.

Naturally, it sparked interest, especially by the children, so a crowd quickly gathered and was watching them walking through the town and into the park.

Once there she gave the bunnies a command and all of them hopped towards a child. The children were delighted and the bunnies let themselves be petted for as long as you want”, I narrated and remembered the day.

I did let myself get rushed by bunnies, soft and fluffy times....

“Must've been nice to pet a bunny”, mumbled Fu silently.

“I'll tell you what, when we are finished with the extraction we will go out and buy you a bunny, but you must promise me that you take care of it, okay?”, I said and ruffled her hair with my free hand.

“I promise!”, she quickly said and we were silent for a few more minutes. Then, another hour later, I felt that any more would begin to kill Choumei, so I stopped and stood up.

I tried to sense the changes while shaking out the stiffness that comes with sitting for almost two days and sensed that my Chakra capacity grew again and that Kura's Chakra was a lot more than before. The seven tails may have been weaker than the eight tail and Kura-chan, but it was still the third strongest Bijuu. The amount of Chakra Kura-chan now has is almost not possible to suppress and I'm positive that any sensor around us will begin to sense us now. Seems that covert operations aren't possible any longer.

Well, storming inside with guns blazing was always funnier.

My Chakra was also way larger than before, each transfer enlarges my coils and increases my overall capacity.

°Kura-chan, how much Chakra do you think I have now?°, I asked interestedly. I knew that I had more than some of the lower ranked Bijuu, but I now had much more.

°Probably around Kokuou's, you know, the five tails°, came from her. This was cool but also meant that I had to relearn a lot of my Chakra control.

°I'm going to hunt him down after relearning my finer Chakra manipulation°, I then said and refocused on Fu, who had also decided to stand up.

“So Fu, hungry? I could make some food and then we will see if there is a pet shop for you to get a bunny”, I suggested and Fu nodded eagerly.

We ate some chicken curry and then went out to buy a bunny. It was a brown bunny, a really large one. My home country had some of these, they were there called Deutscher Riese. Those bunnies could become as long as a normal sized dog. They are really cute and fluffy.

Fu was carrying him back home, while I had the scroll with the sealed cage and food. The bunny was as tall as Fu's upper body and she was only barely able to look over his ears.

“How will you call him?”, I asked.

“I don't know, what do you think?”, she asked back.

“Well, he looks to me like a Sargent Muffles”, I suggested with a laugh and scratched the bunny behind his ears. They twitched and rubbed Fu under her nose so that she had to sneeze.

She pouted cutely but then smiled and nodded once, “Yes, Sargent Muffles is a good name, what does it mean?”.

“Sargent is a rank in a military from one of Clair's adventures and Muffles because he makes these cute munching move with his mouth”, I said and poked said mouth.

It looked like Sargent Muffles was glaring at me, but it could also have been a cute stare.

We walked back home, Fu wanted to stay with me and mom and installed the cage for Sargent Muffles. I like that name, it sounds dangerous and Sargent Muffles was anything but dangerous. He was lazier than a Nara and did nothing else than muffle on his carrot and lay in the sun.

Sure a life worth of living, being petted for hours, getting your food put in front of you and lazing around in the sun. It's also boring as hell and nothing for me. So I decided to get to work and find the Jinchuriki of the six tailed slug.

The nasty bugger should still be in Kiri and on the run from the hunter Ninja that Mei has sent out to find him. I just have to check in on the latest reports and then use Kura-chan's Chakra to find the nearest Bijuu. Most Jinchuriki are bad shit at concealing their Chakra and as such easy to find.

Only someone on good terms with her/his Bijuu is even able to hide it and those are few. Fu, B, Yugito and I were the only ones and Fu isn't able to control any Chakra worth of a single tail and beyond at all.

Her seal is at fault for that, I already changed it and she will now be able to take Choumei's Chakra at will. There is still the risk of being consumed by the rage and the bodily harm that comes without a fully opened seal and the beaten 'second you' but she is able to use up to three tails.

Theoretically, Choumei is so weakened that it won't be able to give Fu any Chakra for the next year and even after that only occasionally.

Anyway, I told the others where I will go to and went to Kirigakure, not directly into Mei's office, but in front of her door. Daichi and his wife were still fresh in my memory and I don't want to fluster a woman that is known for her temper and with an ability to melt things.

I knocked and heard the “come in” a moment later. I opened the door and found Mei sitting behind her desk with Ao standing near the wall. Another four hidden Ninja were with us as well.

“Uzukage-san, what brings you here to Kirigakure?”, asked Mei surprised.

“I'm on my way to find Utakata, the war is over and he has to come back. I'm sure that he won't agree with me so I am planning to fight him. If necessary even extract the six tails”, I answered and stopped in front of Mei. She wore the same clothes she had on when she went to the Kage summit, with her Kage hat on the desk.

“I see, is there something we can help you with?”, she asked with a pleasant smile.

“Indeed there is, are there any reports about him? I remember asking for his search”, I said. Mei looked over to Ao who nodded once and then left.

“So anything interesting happened?”, she asked, probably only to break the slightly uncomfortable silence.

“Hmm, there is this new creation of Dan-san, a cook in Uzu, he makes the best chicken dishes I know of and his latest dish is just godly. It's a goose that got roasted over an open fire for just the right time. He then puts spicy paprika powder over crunchy roasted potatoes and a sweet-sour sauce for dipping. Just delicious. Oh and I kinda adopted the Jinchuriki of the seven tails”, I explained and got hungry just from remembering the food. Hmm, chicken....

“I think I'm going to ignore the lengthy explanation about a simple chicken dish and focus on the fact that you adopted a Jinchuriki, not of your own village”, she said drily and had a forced smile.

“It's not simple, the skills you need in roasting the goose to perfection in combination with each different spice makes it into art”, I replied fully serious and with a slight glare. I might also have activated my normal Sharingan by accident, but this is about chicken.

“Yes, sorry, my fault”, she said, not the least sorry. But I let it go, not everyone is able to see reason.

“So the Jinchuriki?”, she asked again and I refocused.

“Ah yes, Fu is her name, she was the Jinchuriki of Takigakure. They treated her wrongly and she even got almost killed by Akatsuki. However, I was nearby and saved her, while killing two of Akatsuki. Okay, I killed one of them, do you want to see the other?”, I said and asked with a grin at the end.

“See the other?”, she asked confused and I unsealed Hidan's head.

“You fucking heathen, what have you done to my body? I'll kill you!”, shouted Hidan out of the cloud and Mei jumped out of her chair in shock.

“Is that a talking head?”, she asked warily.

“Yup, I think I will hang him up over my oven”, I said with a laugh and waved with Hidan's head around.

“Shut up you pisser, put me down so that I can bite off one of your legs”, shouted the mistreated head.

“No can do, I even think I will dye your hair in pink and give you some glitter”. Hidan looked shocked and slightly fearful. This gave me time to notice that his body was starting to regenerate slowly. The fucker can heal body parts!

°You can too. And that even in two ways, I can do it for you and your cheat Jutsu can too°, reminded Kura-chan.

°Since when can you heal lost body parts? The original Naruto had to use a Hashirama-cell arm to get something like an arm back°, I asked in slight shock. I thought only my [Flames of Healing] can do that.

°Since the moment I changed your body. I'm able to control you the moment you use some of my Chakra°, she answered, very pleased with herself.

°Okay, just tell me when you want to do that°, I said and then looked down at the still shouting Hidan. I grabbed a nearby paperweight and smashed it on his head. Blood flew everywhere and a lot of papers got stained. It sadly only made him focus on me with his cursing so I resealed him.

“Why did you hit him?”, asked Mei angrily. She was busy with burning away the few bloodstains that got onto her clothes.

“I thought it might shut him up. And he's a good punching bag, did you know that his Ninja skills were barely above Chunin? He was such a weak enemy that I got him defeated in one move. Even his partner wasn't stunned by his sudden defeat”, I said amused.

“An S-Rank Ninja barely stronger than a Chunin?”, she asked in disbelieve. She knew everything that was common knowledge about Akatsuki. Which was only that they have S-Rank Ninja.

“No, I think Hidan the Apostle of Jashin was only A-Rank, not everyone in their little group is S-Rank. But there are some truly strong ones under them. One of them is Hoshigaki Kisame”, I answered and looked with some amusement into her widened eyes.

“Kisame is one of them? And they hunt you?”. Her question was full of concern and really nice, but unneeded. Kisame had a major weakness, the same with Itachi. Okay, Itachi's wasn't as big and only for a specific group of enemies, but he had one.

“Don't mind him, I'll give you the sword when I kill him”, I said nonchalantly. Ao, choose this moment to come back with a large folder of reports.

“This is everything we have on Utakata, his skills, his likes and dislikes, as well as every sighting and rumor we have on his current position”, he said and handed me the folder.

“Thanks, Mei-chan is there a good restaurant for chicken?”, I asked and watched how Mei got red by my address. This woman was really 'underfucked'. Ao should man up and bend her over the desk like she wants to.

“Eh, w..well there is this one in the main market district”, she said with a slight stutter at the start.

“Thanks, I'll leave then. I'm sure you and Ao have something to do”, I then said and walked out.

Third Person's POV;

Mei was still somewhat startled from Dexter's familiar suffix and only heard You and Ao have something, so she gave him a glare, followed by a death threat.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dexter's POV:

The restaurant was quickly found after asking one or two passersby and they did make good food, not as good as Dan-san's but still okay. I also had enough time to go through the folder and narrowed his current position down to a few points in the Land of Water. Finding him won't be a trouble with Kura-chan's cloak and it's Chakra sensing ability. I can also always go into Sage Mode and search for him on this way. He will be the strongest in the area.

With that finished, I paid my food and then rushed off to my first possible location. It was a small island that had no Hiraishin marker, so I had to go on foot.
