I choose to use different signs for the future dialogues. It might be kinda confusing to have “” for both the mind and normal talk.
So °...°=mind speaking.
“...”=normal speaking.
*...*=things done before they speak like sighing.
This chapter is also, probably, the first chapter I wrote that has something fundamentally different from the original. Post it if you know what I mean. I'll answer next chapter.
The meaning of A and B in the poll are stated at the end of this Chapter.

Third Person's POV;
Dexter woke up and felt sore all over. His eyes throbbed like hell and each limb prickled as if they were asleep. Hell even his hair hurt and that shouldn't be possible. He was laying on his stomach and felt something soft swishing on his back and legs.
°Urg, Kura-chan?°, he asked and tried to roll on his back. He failed miserably and decided to stay on his stomach.
°You're awake, finally. How do you feel?°, came the reply from Kurama, who sounded happy.
°Sore°, he grumbled and tried to sit up. A few attempts later and he was in a sitting position and now knew why he couldn't roll on his back. His new tails were in the way. The tails had a yellow-orange colour with red tips.
°Kura-chan, how many tails do I have and how can I move them?°, he then asked and grabbed one of his many tails. They were all intertwined with each other and swished from one side to the other.
°You have nine tails. They don't represent your strength, more like your connection to me. Moving them feels natural for me. I don't know how you can learn that. Try to will them to move°, was her answer.
Dexter tried and surprisingly one of them moved, right into his face and bitch-tailing him. The hit was strong enough to launch him out of bed and into the nearby wall.
°That was hilarious°, laughed his tenant loudly and Dexter could only grumble.
°What are these things made of? They are soft as hell, even if not as soft as yours, yet at the same time as hard as steel°, mumbled Dexter as he stood up.
He noticed with interest that he now was way taller than before. He looked down and saw the well-toned body of an athlete. As lean as a swimmer, but his limbs and torso still showed developed and strong muscles.
°Most of your muscles are of the Intermediate-Muscle-Type. They are a mix between the normal long lasting muscles and the fast and strong ones. Each of the other ones is better than the Intermediate-Muscle-Type in their own field. However, the combination of both makes it so special. This way you can run a marathon and lift heavy weights without looking like a muscle man or a skinny guy°, said Kurama in self-praise.
°Thanks°, said Dexter sincerely before walking to a nearby mirror. His head had the most changes if you ignore the nine tails sprouting out of his coccyx.
His hair now had red lines between his blonde ones. His eyes were still blue, but with a slit now as a pupil. His jaw was angular and his canines looked a little longer and sharper. He had to stop himself from admiring how good he looked.
Another added, or more like lost, thing was the lack of his whisker marks.
°You removed the whisker marks, why?°, he asked and pulled on the red streaks in his hair.
°They did look cute on your child body, but stupid when you're all grown up. They were a side effect of Kushina being pregnant with you. Did you like them?°, said Kurama and drooled slightly at the sight of his naked body. She changed all of his muscles.
°Nah, they looked stupid on a male adult. If I was a girl, then yes. Thanks for removing them. What about my eyes?°, he reassured her that she did everything right.
°Well..., the thing is I managed to activate the Rinnegan, but then some Chakra that felt nothing like yours or mine streamed towards your eyes. I tried to stop it, but it was too fast and reached them before I could do anything. After that, your eyes shut down and I don't know what happened. Try to activate them, but slowly°, she said and sounded a little sorry.
°Don't feel bad for it. You tried°, he said in hope to cheer her up. He then slowly put Chakra into his eyes and they changed into the Sharingan, then Mangekyou-Sharingan and after that into the legendary Rinnegan. Strangely enough, it felt like that wasn't all, so he put more Chakra in them and the eyes changed again. They stayed purple but now had the tomoe pattern of Sasuke's Sharingan after gaining his part of the Rikudo Sennin's Chakra.
°Is that the Rinne-Sharingan?°, asked Kurama baffled.
°I don't know, it should be red. Maybe because they are in my eye sockets and not on my forehead?°, was Dexter's reply.
°They kinda look like Sasuke's. Do you know how to use them?°, she asked.
°I think...I do. Why do I know how to use them? That wasn't the case with the Mangekyou-Sharingan. I even somehow know how to use the normal Rinnegan. The fuck!?°, replied a heavily confused Dexter.
°As unbelievingly as it sounds, maybe it has something to do with them being godly eyes?°, said Kurama and tried to put some sense into this. It wasn't logical.
°I have a better idea. Naruto and Sasuke also instantly knew how to use their power after gaining the Yin and Yang half from the Rikudo Sennin. He gave them his Chakra, so maybe along with it his memories? It is possible to transmit memories and souls through Chakra. The Yamanaka clan does it all the time.
The Chakra you've felt could have been the reason for my knowledge. The question is, from whom did I got it?°, reasoned Dexter.
°What exactly do you know?°, asked Kurama.
°Well, I know the seven path's and that I'm able to use the normal Sharingan skills. But nothing about the Eternal Genjutsu or Kaguya's Dimension travel°, said Dexter and changed his arm into the laser cannon of the Demon path.
°So you don't have the fully developed eyes of the Rinne-Sharingan, but most of its useful powers?°, asked Kurama to be sure.
°Yeah, I don't need the Eternal Genjutsu and I still want to stay in this dimension. So there isn't anything that I still need. The ability to use the Sharingan in combination with the Rinnegan is the true reason for even taking the Rinne-Sharingan. Say, do I have more Chakra?°, agreed Dexter, before asking a question of himself. He kinda felt like he has way more Chakra than before.
°You do, I enlarged your Chakra coils and the foreign Chakra did the same. Sorry, but you have to relearn some of your finer detailed techniques°, said Kurama in a fake apologetic tone.
°Yay, well it's good that I have the Chakra manipulation training methods I've read in some fan fictions. It's cool that they really work°, shouted Dexter in fake joy.
He once read about a few methods for finer Chakra manipulation. One of them was to use the Chakra to cling to the dust on the ground and then move it into a pile. With the right amount, it's possible to clean the floor. Another technique was to sort powder in different colours. Both of them are really hard and way beyond anything that you could learn in the library of Konoha. Even the Jonin section didn't have something as advanced as this.
He long forgot the name of said fictions, but he still remembered that they were really cool, even if they weren't finished.
°You also have to learn how to use your tails°, mused Kurama.
°Yeah°, said Dexter in lament.
°And please put some clothes on. The sight makes me feeling strange°, added Kurama.
°Like what you see?°, asked a now grinning Dexter, who also started to make poses.
°I created it, of course, I like it°, replied Kurama matter of factly before falling silent.
Dexter's grin stayed for the time he needed to get clothed before he got serious and started to train with his new skills.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few weeks later;
°Okay, now we're set to go°, said Dexter as he stepped out of the bath.
He relearned his Chakra control over the past weeks. Additionally to that, he was now also able to use the Bijuu Mode of Kurama to his fullest. Yet, he didn't have the Truth-Seeking Orbs that Naruto had or the ability of Sasuke's eye to swap places with things.
He also could control four Limbo Shadows. They both came up with the reason that Limbo was a skill of the Rinnegan. While the Orbs and the switching ability came from the Chakra of the Juubi.
Obito also had the orbs, but couldn't control Limbo, as they weren't his eyes. That and he only had one Rinnegan eye.
The only thing that Naruto wasn't able to use was Senjutsu. At least not now. Kurama isn't able to kick the Mana out of his system so they never tried to learn it. He once asked Hiraka, the boss summon of the foxes, to teach him. But she said that she has to ask the elders for allowance before.
°So where is our first stop?°, asked Kurama.
°Konoha, we have to find a little girl°, answered Dexter with a smirk and then Hiraishined to a Kunai in the Forest of Death.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Konoha;
It was night and Yakumo Kurama was, like every night, alone in her large mansion on the outskirts of Konoha. Well, technically she wasn't completely alone. There was still her inner demon the Idou-Monster. Contrary to the beliefs of Konoha she wasn't afraid of it or even hostile towards Idou. No Idou was the only friend she had since Kurenai sealed her Chakra.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
°I hate it to be alone Idou°, lamented Yakumo while she strolled through the dark and lonely hallways of her mansion. Or as she calls it her prison.
°I know, but this cursed Third Hokage and Kurenai aren't allowing you to go outside, in fear of me°, said Idou from the inside of her head.
°Yes°, was Yakumo's reply before she stopped abruptly. It was as if she heard something.
°Did you hear that?°, she asked Idou.
°Yeah, kinda sounded like running water°, answered her inner demon.
°It came from the kitchen°, the demon added and Yakumo swallowed heavily before she began to sneak towards her kitchen.
The moment she turned around the corner that led to her kitchen she knew something wasn't right. Light shone out of the kitchen into the corridor and splashing noises were audible.
°There is someone in my house!°, she screamed mentally.
°Try to see who it is°, said Idou and Yakumo slowly sneaked up to the doorway.
“You can come in, I made something to eat”, said suddenly a male voice shortly before she reached the doorway. Yakumo took a deep breath and then steeled herself before walking inside the kitchen.
She was greeted by the smell of fried chicken and a lot of side dishes. She also saw a man on the sink, washing dishes. Strangely enough, the man had yellow fox ears on his blond with red tipped head and nine tails swished behind him.
“You're Yakumo am I right?”, asked the man while he turned around.
°Hot°, said Idou from inside and Yakumo could only nod. He was hot, a masculine face and bright blue eyes. His body was also nothing to ignore. But the best was his smile that was more like a friendly grin.
“Good, my name is Dexter. Sit, I have a proposal for you”, he said and mistook her nod as an agreement for his previous question.
Yakumo slowly sat down, still somewhat wary of the man. Sure he was hot, but he might still be dangerous.
“I hope you like chicken? I promise you, it's the food for gods”, he said and Yakumo could only nod again. His tone was almost zealous and she didn't want to risk angering him. She didn't have access to her Chakra and her body was too weak to even run away.
He also sat down and filled her plate, before putting food on his own.
“Eat up, we can speak afterwards”, he said and began to eat. Yakumo eyed the food and then put a small piece in her mouth.
“That's good”, she mumbled and began to eat more and faster.
“Told you chicken is the food for gods”, he said proudly.
They ate in silence and Yakumo was strangely happy with the whole situation. Sure the man might mean her harm, but he still was the only contact she had in ages.
“Do you know about Idou?”, asked the man as he finished with his plate.
°He knows about you, what should I do?°, asked Yakumo with a mental freak out. No one likes her because of Idou, but Idou is her only friend and also the sole person she can communicate with.
Many people would try to argue that Idou is a demon and that she is the reason for the death of their parents. But Idou told her what really happened. It is true that Idou took over her body as the house burned down, but she wasn't the reason for it. Someone set the house on fire and then knocked her out. This made it possible for Idou to take control and save them both. Sadly Idou wasn't strong enough to also save their parents.
A few days after the incident came the Third Hokage with Kurenai and told her that Kurenai would train her in Genjutsu.
At first, she was delighted to train in the art that was the strong point of her clan. She even absorbed everything Kurenai said like a sponge, however, this changed Kurenai somewhat. She wasn't as friendly anymore and then one day stopped coming to the training.
Three days later came the Third Hokage and sealed her Chakra. He said that her Genjutsu are too strong and that she isn't able to control them properly.
Naturally, Yakumo said that that wasn't true, but Kurenai said that she got injured by one of her flame Genjutsu and showed her left arm. It was burned in second-degree burns and looked like it would hurt.
The Hokage said that he is sorry to do that but it had to be done and continued with the sealing.
Yakumo could only watch in terror as her teacher smirked from the back of the Hokage and knew that she was betrayed.
°Tell him that you do. He doesn't look like a human, maybe he knows how we feel°, reassured Idou.
“I do”, she finally answered after a long pause.
“I take it, that you are able to speak with Idou?”, the man asked and Yakumo nodded slowly.
“I know that you hate the Third and Kurenai. What do you think about revenge?”, he asked and Yakumo saw with fascination the glint of his sharper and longer than normal canines.
“What do you mean?”, she asked.
“I could take you out of the village. I'm currently building a new one and would need a Genjutsu specialist. I know that you are isolated and know how that is. Do you know about Naruto?”, said the man.
This brought Yakumo to think. She heard the name a few times when her parents were still alive. But nothing too much.
“I heard the name, but don't know the person”, she admitted.
“Don't mind it, you are pretty isolated. What I want to say is that Naruto has the nine tailed demon fox sealed inside him. And on top of that, a lot of people of the village think that he is the demon reincarnated. So he is basically like you. Punished for something that wasn't in his power and might not even be something evil”, he explained.
“And what does this Naruto have to do with you?”, asked Yakumo who couldn't make anything out of it.
“Naruto's other name is Dexter. I am Naruto. I was mistreated, some would say tortured, by the villagers and want to see the demise of a lot of them. So I thought of helping a fellow sufferer. What do you say? I can take you to a friend of mine and you could train your skills again”, he explained and Yakumo was shocked. Was this man like her?
“How can I trust you? And my Chakra is sealed away, I couldn't train if I want to”, asked Yakumo.
“Well, you could either come with me or stay inside this empty house with only Idou as your partner. And the seal is easily lifted. But tell me, is there a reason for your hate of Kurenai? I heard that you weren't able to control your skills which led to the sealing of your Chakra”, he said and smiled one of his beautiful half smirk smiles.
“I didn't lose control, she faked the part. She hurt herself and put the blame on me”, said Yakumo heatedly.
“I see, she might have seen your potential and choose to nip your skills at the buds. Kurenai isn't skilled in anything other that Genjutsu and she might have feared to lose her title as Genjutsu Mistress of Konoha”, he stated and it now made sense to Yakumo. Kurenai wasn't so unfriendly at the start, only when Yakumo showed great skill.
“This bitch”, growled Yakumo and quickly put her hands over her mouth for her outburst.
“Yes, she is a bitch”, agreed the man.
“Who are you anyway?”, asked Yakumo. The man might have introduced himself as Dexter and that he's also Naruto who has the Kyuubi inside of him.
“I'm Dexter Uzumaki, the future leader of Uzushiogakure and hopefully a soon to be allied with you. What do you say? I free you of the seal and you come with me? You can always leave afterwards”, he answered with conviction and Yakumo was strangely drawn to this man.
°Agree, he is our ticket out of Konoha°, chimed Idou in.
“What would I have to do?”, asked Yakumo. She won't help him if it means to become his slave.
“Nothing in the next few years. I'm only at the start with my plan. You would either live in Uzushiogakure or travel with my friend”, he assured.
“Then I'll agree. Help me to regain my Chakra and I will help you with your plan”, said Yakumo and stood up to shake Dexter's hand.
“Gladly”, answered the Fox-men and they vanished the moment he grabbed her hand.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uzushiogakure;
Yakumo looked around and saw an empty village, the houses looked new and everything was cleaned. However, it lacked the flair of life.
“This is Uzushiogakure, our future village. I already build the facilities and houses but still lack the personal. That is something we're going to change. But first I have to bring my mother back”, said the man who just brought her out of Konoha.
“What do you mean by bringing her back?”, she asked. Wouldn't they be somewhere else if he is going to take her back from somewhere? This is his village, she can't be away in his village.
“I'm going to revive her”, he nonchalantly said and Yakumo stopped walking.
°Did I hear right?°, she asked her friend.
°Yes, he's either delusional or not something that we could allow to anger if he really can bring back the dead°, answered Idou and Yakumo had to quicken her steps to reach up to the man who claims to be able to revive the dead.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, had a day off today. The next one will be in 8 days. Someone asked to revive the Uzumaki clan. It would be possible, he has their bones and with that their DNA. But should I really do it?
I made a poll for this question. A = revive B= they stay dead.
Questions?
