Chapter 14: Fresh Growth
The Kyuubi sighed as he rested a hand on Naruto's head. The little Hanyou was fast asleep in his lap, much like he used to do as a toddler. After the past few days, he couldn't blame the young man for wanting a little comfort from his Father.
He smiled at the thought. Father. The kid still wanted him as a father. His mind drifted back to the conversation from before.
"Listen, Naruto. If you want to go to the village, look for your family, I won't hold it against you."
The little Hanyou shook his head after a second, fingers running through his hair. Areas were stained orange and red from blood that had gotten ever

"Sensei, what was that sound earlier?"
Kurenai shook her head as she cradled a bowl of plain rice and some of the fish she and the other ninja had speared while on guard duty. "I'm not sure. It sounded like a wounded animal. A wolf maybe."
'Or, m-maybe a fox,' Hinata thought, frowning into her fish. Across from her, Sasuke and Kiba were glaring at each other as they wolfed down their food, ignorant of the girls' mental distress. With a sigh, she gave a poke at the chakra point in Kiba's side, making him yelp as it seized up for a few seconds. "Stop Kiba-kun, please don't b-bicker," she murmured as he tu

"Yo yo yo! How be mah favorite little nephews?"
"Sanbi-jisan!"
Kyuubi couldn't help but grin at the pair as they embraced the wild looking Isonade. The three-tail was as feral as ever, dark blue hair falling back in untamed spikes down his back, while his blue skin had a healthy look, the rough scales freshly scrubbed for his nephews. Sharp teeth gleamed as he grinned at the boys, pulling them back to get a good look at them. "The older ya get, the more like real youkai ya look," he offered, ruffling wild hair with clawed-and-webbed hands.
Gaara smiled at the compliment, while Naruto growled as he tried t

Mizuki cackled as he launched himself through the trees, the Forbidden Scroll, the Scroll of Seals, securely fastened to his back. His original plan to trick any failure to steal the scroll for him had failed, mostly because everyone, even the lazy Nara boy had passed, but his Lord needed the scroll, and the rewards would be beyond his imagining! It made the effort and risk to steal it himself worth it, and now, he was home free! As long as he kept moving, the ANBU wouldn't be able to find him before safely reaching the land of Rice.
He sneered at the thought of the Yondaime. That blonde upstart, he didn't

Clashing metal rang through the clearing as the boys practiced behind the house. Gaara and Naruto were enjoying the new weapons they had stolen, and were practicing their accuracy, using some of Shukaku's porn as the targets. Say goodbye to the books and blow-up doll you pervert!
On the porch, Shukaku growled as the boys giggled, another hole being ripped into his newest book, the first of the Icha Icha series. Kyuubi smirked as he pulled the rope tighter, hog-tying the Tanuki. The younger demon had his arms tied to his sides at the upper arms and the elbows, and then his forearms together behind his back. His leg
