Extra 9: Kyubi meets Kyubi (2)*
"Of course I am! I'm not as strong as Tousan though" - Naruto replied as he scratched his cheek.
"How strong is your Tousan?" - Kunou asked as a small glow appeared on her face.
"With a slight flick of one of his tails, he can destroy mountains and cause Tsunamis" - replied Naruto calmly - "And that's nothing, he can control the elements, time and space, he can also talk to the souls of the dead, and he can use attacks that can destroy worlds with utmost ease."
"Wow ~!" - Kunou couldn't hide her surprise when she heard this - "What about the rest of your family?"
"We're not all Kitsune" - Naruto replied as he gave the little blonde a smile - "In fact, only Tousan and my brothers are Kitsune because my mothers are human."
"How many Kaasan do you have?" - Kunou asked excitedly as she started to think of a plan.
"I lost count after 20" - Naruto replied as he scratched his cheek, but his expression changed when he felt an unfamiliar group approaching.
"Is something wrong, Naruto Onii-chan?" - Kunou said curiously but frowned as she sniffed as a group of Yokai approached.
"Isn't that our little princess perhaps?" asked a man as he appeared in front of the two children with a smile on his face, "What are you doing in this area with an unknown person?"
"I recommend you to stay away, Osan" - growled Naruto as he looked at everyone present - "I can sense your evil intentions."
Kunou hid behind Naruto as she looked fearfully at the men in front of her.
"I guess it will be the hard way" - said the leader of the group as his face changed to that of a raccoon - "Do it!"
"Hai!" - exclaimed the other Yokai as they revealed their true forms and prepared to attack the two children, after all, they knew that with Kunou in their hands, they would get everything they wanted.
"Bad choice" - Naruto muttered as he released his nine tails.
"Another Kyubi?" - Yokai exclaimed in terror - "Fall back!"
"Kitsunebi!" - Naruto roared as the attackers screamed in pain as they felt their bodies being burned - "Tch, you're weaklings!"
"Wow ~!" - Kunou exclaimed as she didn't think it would all be over so quickly. She wasn't terrified because it wasn't the first time she was attacked.
"We'd better get on with the sightseeing" - smiled Naruto as he took Kunou's little hand, not noticing how two silhouettes were watching them from the distance.
"I told you so" - said Kurama as a small smile appeared on his lips, though his expression quickly changed to a neutral one - "I didn't expect someone to attack them so soon though."
"Sorry, it's my fault" - sighed Yasaka as she shook her head - "Let's just say that not many people are happy with my decisions as the leader of the Yokai Faction, not to mention that being one of the most beautiful women in the world, many wishes to use my daughter so they can get to me."
"You have a hard life" - muttered Kurama as he looked at the woman.
"I know" - sighed Yasaka as she looked at her daughter with a smile - "Come on, I'm much calmer now."
"OK" - nodded Cloud as the two disappeared from the place.

"It's interesting to meet someone from another dimension" - said Yasaka as she poured some tea for her companion. They had been chatting for 15 minutes and Kurama had explained some details about them - "At least that explains why I hadn't heard anything about you."
Kurama smiled in response as he sipped his tea.
"How long do you plan on being in this dimension?" - Yasaka asked as she got straight to the point.
"I'm not sure" - Kurama replied with a frown as he pulled out a small talisman and noticed how it was completely gray - "Normally it would take a few hours to recharge this talisman, but the [Nature Energy] of this world it's abominable."
"Humans have slowly destroyed this world with their technological advancements and wars" - Yasaka replied as she let out a heavy sigh - "The world is screaming and only a few of us can hear it"
"Humans are like that in all worlds" - replied Kurama as he shook his head in denial - "The way things are going, I think it will take a few years for it to recharge, although that's not so bad because the time flow is faster in this dimension."
"OK, I think that was enough of depressing conversations" - Yasaka said while smiling at the white-haired man - "Why don't you tell me a little about yourself?"
"What do you want to know?" - Kurama asked curiously.
"Everything" - replied Yasaka as he looked at the albino - "I'm curious to know more about you."
"You know what they say about curiosity, Yasaka-san" - said Kurama with an amused smile on his face - " It can be lethal for a woman, more so when she is as beautiful as you".
"Thanks for the praise, but I don't plan on changing my mind" - Yasaka replied as she gave him a flirtatious look - "So give it up, Kurama-san."
Kurama shrugged his shoulders as he started talking about his life, noticing how Yasaka was concentrating on his words.

"I think it's time to go back" - Naruto said as he looked at the girl - "I'm sure your mother has to be worried."
"OK" - Kunou muttered as she nodded weakly. She had enjoyed her walk with her 'big brother', and she didn't want this to end.
"Relax" - Naruto said as he stroked the little girl's hair - "We'll be able to repeat this in the next few days."
"Really?!" - Kunou exclaimed excitedly.
"Sure, it's a promise" - replied Naruto with a smile - "And an Uzumaki never breaks a promise!"
"Un!" - Kunou's smile couldn't have been happier and purer when he heard his 'Onii-chan's promise.

"We are back, Okaasan!" - Kunou exclaimed as she ran into her mother's office along with Naruto.
"I see you had a fun day," said Yasaka as she hugged her daughter.
"Naruto Onii-chan is the best!" - Kunou exclaimed as she hugged her back.
"Nothing happened while you were walking?" - Kurama asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"A bunch of idiots being led by a man who looked like a Shukaku wannabe" - replied Naruto with disdain - "They were weak, but I feel like there was something weird about the whole thing."
"Thank you for saving my princess" - said Yasaka as she looked at the embarrassed red-haired young man - "I'm going to investigate in-depth what happened"
"You don't have to thank me so much, Yasaka-san" - said Naruto as he scratched his cheek - "I just did what I had to do."
"Thank you, Naruto Onii-chan" - said Kunou while giving him a huge smile.
"Anyway, I think that would be all for now" - said Kurama as he stood up and gave his son a look - "We still need to find a place to stay"
"Why don't you stay here?" - Yasaka asked as she felt her cheeks blush at the connotation of his words - "I mean, there are so many empty rooms here that it's not much trouble for you to stay."
"It's not too much trouble?" - Kurama asked as he scratched his cheek.
"Not at all" - replied Yasaka with a smile - "Besides, I'm sure Kunou wishes that she could still play with her Onii-chan."
"Yey ~!" - Kunou showed her happiness by jumping around.
Kurama had to admit that she was so cute and cuddly, to the point that she reminded him of his daughters - "Thank you so much for the hospitality."
"You don't have to thank me" - Yasaka replied as she called two maidservants. When they arrived in the room, the Kyubi instructed them to escort the two Uzumaki to the guest room.
"If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to investigate the surroundings first," Naruto said as he scratched his cheeks.
The maidservants looked at their mistress, only to notice how she nodded without a second thought - "Would you mind if Kunou accompanied you?"
"Not in the least, Yasaka-san" - Naruto replied as he shook his head.
"I'll show you the sides where I play!" - Kunou exclaimed as she took her Onii-chan's hand and led him out of the room.
"I'd like to apologize for any accidents my son causes in your home, Yasaka-san" - Kurama said as he scratched his cheeks in embarrassment - "He's always been hyperactive since his childhood, not to mention he's a born prankster."
"Oh, then we're in trouble" - said Yasaka as she put her hand on her cheek - "Kunou is just like Naruto-kun."
Yasaka was aware of her race's curious and mischievous nature, so she wasn't too worried about the damage the two children would cause.
"Still I apologize" - Kurama said as he gave a small bow - "I promise I will pay for the damages."
Yasaka smiled in response as he watched the man closely.
