"I can't believe you, after what I said about the ponies here overreacting, you go ahead and do that!" Twilight practically screamed, causing the large ears of the fox beside her to flatten down instinctively to try and block out the noise.
Kurama gave the young mare a small glare but said nothing as they slowly, in his opinion, walked out of the small town, which he had terrified oh so easily, and towards a rather large field of apples.
"I've asked the guards that took us to Ponyville to try and calm them down before we attempt to once again introduce you, nicely this time and I want you to apologise to all the po-" The lilac mare was instantly silenced along with all the other creatures around by anger-annoyance-wave-ocean-pressure-can't breath-crushing before it vanished.
"No" The word was not shouted, but in the silence which was left after whatever had affected everything, it was almost as if it was roared in her face.
"Wha-What? You have to, you scared all those poor ponies!" The very idea that someone wouldn't apologise for scaring someone was almost inconceivable for her to understand.
Kurama gave a small snort as he stared at the still frozen mare, wondering to himself how a so-called adult in this world could be so...innocent. 'I think I preferred it in the shinobi era...at least then people understood what I was'
"And I said no, you seem to misunderstand this situation" as he was saying this, Kurama slowly advanced on the still mare, his nine tails flaring out behind him, making him seem even larger than his already alicorn sized form was. "I am not your friend, you do NOT control me, I will not apologise to some pathetic creatures that cannot stand in the presence of a superior predator." All the while this was being said, red energy was slowly bubbling off Kuruma.
"I am a creature made of pure malice and you will do well to remember that I am only here because I cannot be bothered to kill you all and be forced to flee to escape your species pathetic attempts to get revenge on me!" With this said, the energy which had been gathering around Kurama evaporated and he turned away from the still frozen body of Twilight. "Come, let us go and you can finish my introduction to the inhabitants of this town.
With a small gulp, Twilight remembered just what exactly was walking ahead of her and the fact she tried to force him- no, tried to force it to do something which it didn't want to. 'Dear Celestia what have I gotten myself into...'
Kurama and Twilight walked silently through the forest of apple trees towards the barn which laid at the end of the pathway.
"Uh..Kurama...we're here to introduce you to my friend Applejack and her family, she owns Sweet Apple Acres which is where we are now and they grow the world's best-tasting apples!" Twilight at first started off as a meek sounding child but towards the end, the excitement of introducing someone to one of her closest friends took over and she recovered from the ordeal which she had experienced, but she didn't forget about it either.
"The sooner this can be over with, the better, right now all I want to do is sleep" Kurama lifted his nose up, catching a strong scent of sweat, dirt and...pride?
"HYAA!"
-THUNK-
Twilight's head turned towards where the sound came from and a small smile bloomed on her face.
"APPLEJACK!" She started to jog towards where an orange furred mare with a blond mane in a braid type thing with a band keeping it together towards the bottom and wearing a-'Is that a cowboy hat on a pony?' Kurama could only shake his head slightly as he slowly followed Twilight as she embraced the other mare.
"Twi!" The other mare, Applejack as he overheard, exclaimed with a shocked face but still wrapped a foreleg around the neck of the lilac pony. "As much as I don't mind the hug but...uh...what brought this about?" The confusion was very evident in her facial expression, especially in, now that Kurama was closer and could see, her green eyes.
"Oh...uh....hehe....I'm just...kinda jumpy I guess, a lot has happened recently" Twilight had a sheepish expression on her face as she rubbed the back of her head with a hoof.
"Well, I guess it's alright, nothing wrong with having a hug everyno-WOH TWI LOOK OUT!" With this bit said, it was rather obvious to Kurama that she had noticed him as she had pushed herself to stand between him and Twilight in a protective stance.
"Applejack, don't worry, he's the reason that I'm here actually." Twilight then proceeded to walk around Applejack to stand next to Kurama. "Applejack, I would like to introduce you to Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox!" Applejack stared.
And stared.
And stared.
"Uh...Twi....yah know that's just a giant fox...right?" With this, Kurama gained a small tick on his head.
"I am not just a giant fox mortal!" Nine tails flared out, twisting and twirling, proving to Applejack that this was not just some bigger than average vulpine creature.
"WOH NELLY!" With a small thump, Applejack fell to her rump as she stared at Kurama, who was now looking proud at what he had accomplished. Applejack then shook her head, climbed back to her hooves and went to stand right in front of Kurama.
"Well then, mighty sorry that I though you were just another fox Mr Kurama, put her there big fella!" Applejack raised her right front hoof out and kept it there.
Kurama stared.
"You're supposed to shake it, go on it's polite" Twilight staged whispered.
Kuruma slowly lifted up his hand and slowly grasped the offered hoof but was shocked to feel something grasp back. Before he could exclaim his shock he was rather quite quickly physically shaken around. 'Sweet holy sage this mare has a huge amount of strength in order to shake me around, even if I am in a weaker and smaller form.' With a large grin, Applejack stopped shaking the fox around before she slipped her hoof from his grasp. Twilight laughed a bit as she saw the slight swirls in Kurama's eyes. 'Not so invincible now are you?' With a quick shake of his head, Kurama stared at the orange mare.
"How did you do that?" Kurama asked with a slightly annoyed voice.
"Well, I'm mighty strong I reckon, spend pretty much all day everyday bucking these trees here to get the apples down, not only to mention all the chores I have to do around the farm." Applejack glowed slightly with pride, happy to let another soul know about what she did.
"Well, that wasn't what I had meant by my question but it did answer my wonder about how you could so easily throw me about." Kurama acknowledged with a slight nod of his head. "What I had actually wanted to know was how you could grasp my hand back with your hoof, you have no fingers of any kind and yet I felt a force hold onto me." Twilight gasped slightly before her face settled into a small grin.
"Oh I know why, you see, all ponies create a small field of localised attractive force around each of their hooves, though it is mainly strongest in the forehooves, this allows all types of ponies to use tools and open doors which have a twist based handle! Scientists believe that ponies had evolved to have this way before the separation of the tribes and that it gave all types of ponies an equal advantage to survive in life, such as an ability to use tools despite unicorns being able to use magic to manipulate things to a high degree or pegasi and their wings. In my opinion, I believe in each ponies hoof, there is a small foci that allows the innate magic that flows around the body to flow outwards slightly at the hoof and..." It was here she noticed the blank looks on the faces of her impromptu students. "You two didn't understand a word I said did you?" Shake of the head. "Hahhh....ponies make a force around their hooves that allow them to pick things up."
"Wow Twi, I never really thought about how I could pick up things, but I guess now that I know I can probably use it better" Applejack seemed to look a bit wondered at her hoof.
Kuruma just seemed to nod slightly.
'It would make sense...the shinobi of my era could use chakra to grasp onto things not usually possible so this seems to be the most likely answer...and magic...it seems that the very nature of chakra has evolved over the years while I've been away, this will require more thought later on what this means for me, a creature of pure chakra.'
Applejack stood with a wondering face before she went over to a tree with a few apples under it and, picking up one of the larger ones, went back over to Kurama holding out the apple with a hoof and a smile.
"Here yah go Mr Kurama, a small treat, after all, you must be mighty hungry from coming here...where ever yah from. Don't worry about the price, its free of charge, think of it as a test to see whether yah like the fresh apples from Sweet Apple Acres!" Kurama stared at the apple which offered to him before he stared into the eyes of the smaller mare.
"Despite what I look like, I do not need to eat food, food for me does nothing noticeable on my level of energy as I regenerate far too quickly unless I am doing something extremely draining for a continuous amount of time and I do not get hungry, besides, I am a predator, apples are food for prey." Kurama shifted his tails slightly, attempting to convey to Twilight his annoyance at the situation.
"Now hold on a darn minute, 'apples are food for prey'?" Applejack strained up her neck at Kurama, sending a glare towards the unique looking fox.
"Yes, vegetation, most things that eat vegetation have no true place in the hierarchy of nature, I do not know how it happened but it has become apparent that somehow a prey species has become the dominant species on this land but as a predator even if I don't need to eat I eat only for taste and I will not lower myself to the level of prey." With this, a smirk opened up on his muzzle and he looked very smug to the two ponies. Applejack was furious, her fur bristled as she was prepared to start shouting at the Fox until she saw Twilights face. Twilight had let out a small grunt before a smirk appeared on her face.
"Actually Kurama, your species is actually classified as an opportunistic hunter, while you may hunt and eat other animals, foxes will actually eat anything which they can get, whether it's meat, nuts, fruits, berries or vegetables." Kurama's face was agape as he listened to the mare, but it seemed she wasn't done." You're officially an omnivore Kurama, so in actuality, you are a predator and prey."
Applejack's face was slowly turning from angry to highly amused as she watched as Kurama was put down from his high horse as she once again held the apple back up to Kurama.
"Nothin stopping yah now Mr Predator and Prey" She let out a small giggle.
With a small growl, Kurama snatched the apple from the young mare and took a large bite of the apple that was in his hand. His eyes widened as the flavour exploded in his mouth, sending sensations of pleasure throughout his body. With a few more chews and a swallow, Kurama looked down in shock at the apple.
'By my tails that were almost godly in taste...'
"Well Kurama, how was it?" Twilight leant in with a smile on her face and mirth in her eyes.
With a small grunt Kurama, went to turn back towards the path.
"It was adequate, good enough for a mortal I guess, now, let us continue on with our task today" He slowly started to walk back the way they had come.
Applejack walked up to Twilight and gave her a small nudge.
"Hooboy, that one's a real piece of work, I betcha have quite the job ahead of yah Twi" Applejack stared at the retreating figure of Kurama.
"You said it AJ...but....i think I'm starting to get through to him" Twilight stated with a small smile.
"What makes yah say that Twi?" Applejack turned to look at her with a confused face.
Twilight tilted her head to look at Applejack in the eye.
"He still has the apple you gave him" With a huff, Twilight turned to run to catch up to the fading form of Kurama.
"Heh...I guess yah right Twi...like yah usually are....I hope you do help him Twi...that fella has far too much sadness in his eyes and if there's anyone who can get through to him, that's you." With a small smile and a slight readjustment of her hat, Applejack turned back towards her trees.
"Now, it's time to deal with you lot..."
Kurama looked at the apple which still laid in his hand and grinned before he threw it up into the air and with a stretch the rest of the apple was engulfed into his maw.
'Those apples really are that good...I must find a non-suspicious way of getting a supply of them'
He continued to walk on down the path as he heard the panting breath and steps of the mare that was supposed to be leading him around.
'That didn't go too bad, I suppose I could do a few more of these introductions...but they'll be my way'
A wide grin slowly took over his face as an idea formed in his head.
'This is gunna be fun...'
Guess whos back y'all!
UPDATE! Your back and all that. I look forward to how ever you take this because no matter there’s going to be more laughs than anything.
Wait until he meets Flutters and Pinkie
Oh that poor, poor fluffy fox
8277524
Oh I have a plan for good ol flutters....and for pinkie?
well.....do you know how hard it is to get cotton candy/ bubble gum out of hair?....try fur...hehehe.....yes, poor fox indeed
i hope you don't make him a bitch if fluttershy tries to use the stare on him, even if he is a reeeeally watered down version of kurama
8277589
Oh hell no....this ain't gunna be no story where one little belly rub and Kurama is some giant fluffy dog, as I said, he's gunna go down kicking and screaming and while he seems watered down, that's cause he's complete and well rested...plus nothings tried to attack him yet...and didn't yah read his little rage moment this chapter?....btw...what so you thinks gunna happen when the 'fly into first, ask questions later' Rainbox Dash is gunna do when she hears about some 'monster' with twilight?
And what do you thinks gunna happen when grumpy old Kurama has an attempted attack on him?
Oh in this story, Kurama is gunna piss the absolute living hell out of everyone and they're not gunna know what to do with a sardonic old fox like him, really the real bonding stuff is gunna happen in the next arc after the legendary Pinky Party (trademarked)
Tell me, do you remember what happened after the Canterlot Wedding? Yes that's right....the Crystal Empire, all you gotta do is wait a few chapters as introductions to the Main 6 commence...
As I said....this gunna be good...
P.S hate typing with a phone, is absolute hell cause autocorrect hates me with a passion only know between naruto and vegetables when he was young...
So, quick question before I check this one out. Is it a boy fox, or a girl fox?
8277709
Kurama is in all actually just a large mass of chakra, energy, which has sentience and while that would usually be considered genderless, many people accept that Kurama is male, so....a boy fox
8277719
Just because they don't need it, doesn't mean they don't have genders. Still, okay.
do fluttershy next oh that will be a good read
8277719
Loved the chapter hope you keep them coming in your pace
Possible idea. Fluttershy's stare comes in part from the sharingan.
This maybe solves the one problem I had with the stroy before,...I mean that before this, it looked like they would shape him into their ideals without asking what he wants.
I thought he would say something along the lines of "I am like a god". I don't like the idea that he is totally into those apple after tasting them and kind of embrassing himself.
Long story short, I just hope there is a moment where it really looks like she couldn't actually help him, I don't want to just have the usual "I Twilight (every other kind hearted character) have to help this poor soul no matter what they want and I will suceed without a problem and I'm not talking about him only looking a bit angry.
I think I don't want a fix of his personality or a majior change in his lifestyle. I think I would prefer it if it happens like a hero meeting a former enemie that only aids him once in a while instead of becoming his best friend of the world and suddenly acting like the happiest character.
Not sure how you could do it, but I don't want it to look like the main six would only smirk knowlingly, thinking that they would know how he truly feels if you know what I mean.
Sorry I tried to explain a certain behavior of main chars in some stories I have read and I remembered my old problem with this story. However this chapter was mostly really nice to read. The author of the story is telling me often enough that he actually meant the character to act this or that way and that he was actually not just "changing into the perfect image of the main six", but the story itself made it hard to see it like that. I mean the author thinks this or that about his main char and just don't really manage to make it look like it too.
This was about other stories in chase I made it look like I was talking about you.
8279305
Oh hell no, Kurama isn't just gonna change who he is to fit some ponies, he's gonna stay how he is...think of him as an observer who may help on occasion, he's gonna put down any pony he meets with harsh facts and reality. The mane six will try to get him to be nice and all friendly...but really....can you see Kurama rolling around in patches of flowers with friends? i didn't think so....oh yeah, by the way....I wonder what his reaction will be to those random songs that appear
The whole not reacting to twilight when shes calling him out is because, in my mind, Kurama always doesn't expect much from those which he thinks are weaker or less intelligent as him, so i put it so that he was not expecting Twilight to be able to create a comeback which is actually intelligent and logical. As for the whole liking the apples thing?.....that will come into play later into the story and then you will understand where I'm going.
Anyways, thank you for your input and i hope i can keep this story up to expectation
8278898
yeah, I had to get my girlfriend to perform edo tensei to get me back but eh, being a zombie is pretty cool
8278201
As much as that would make sense (to my inner naruto nerd) it wont synergize with the direction of the story, im trying to keep it so the only thing that remains of the naruto universe is the chakra, immortal relics which can't be destroyed, some seals (you'll be seeing this soon) and the Bijuu
So genetics?....unless a descendant of the Uchiha went with a pony then i really don't think it would work...and that idea in my head.....nope
8278084
Don't you worry, I'm on a roll with these and as I'm saying this I'm about to start on the next chapter, so wait and see!
8278078
I was going for that but i think i am gonna change it, after the next chapter i'll go back through and probably change it
8278062
You genuinely made me laugh with that, I thank you dearly
8278024
Fluttershy will have her turn don't worry, the order will be unknown but know Pinkie will be last...the party has to be last
8279452
YUSH can't wait for the next chapter
I wonder if anyone is gonna confuse him with a dog or a cat
This is gonna be interesting :›
Just got back from my morning jog to see 3 rather nice comments, thanks, what a way to start a day
And I'm sure you lot will be pleased to know that the next chapter has its plan sorted out and the actual typing out of it SHOULD be starting later on today, no promises though
8279452
okay I will wait, just be patient with me, I tend to forgot those small facts that are mentioned sometimes.
It's alive! Now let's wait for the next chapter the next year and maybe our grandsons can see the ending of the story.
8279452
How will Kurama react to the out of nowhere singing?
First time Kurama hears the ponies singing out of nowhere they or him will find it slightly odd
Second time Kurama hears the ponies singing out of nowhere Kurama will start finding it disturbing
The third stage has Kurama becoming paranoid about the ponies just singing put of nowhere and as a result starts getting jumpy around any of them
The fourth has Kurama crying hysterically as soon as they start singing and Kurama proceeding to run away screaming and crying
The fifth and final stage has Kurama admitting defeat and just joining them as soon as they start
Which would result in the ponies realizing to their horror that Kurama is absolutely tone deaf and as a result Kurama winds up sending several ponies straight to the nearest hospital
There you go lol
A logical and professionally made answer to your question lol
yessssssss. It liiiivessss...
Gooood, now sick Pinkie on him. He should see a shinobi after all this time.
Oh Yeah!
Ok....I know I said I was on a roll with these and starting the next chapter but it's taking longer than I thought because I'm not happy with it and I've rewritten it several times already....hehe.....hopefully I'll finish it to a level which I like soon...just an update to keep people with what I'm doing on this story
It livessssssss!
8293895
I promise that if you disappear on us again I'm gonna find a way to haunt your dreams lol
8297813
don't worry....i dont plan on taking any more sudden leaves like that...and please...don't haunt my dreams...they're my only excape from this cruel cruel thing called reality
8295432
Yes yes i know....its lives....a nice surprise for some people i guess....suppose people gave up on me?
8297828
lol your problem is the opposite of mine
Reality is boring but enjoyable for me
But dreams are cruel and heartbreaking for me....And I turn my nightmares into stuff people would laugh at whenever I have one
No joke I honestly ignore how horrific my nightmares can be and just wind up turning them into something ridiculous dreams though....yeah I usually try my best to wake up from them rather than see what their about😖
Gald to see ya back!
wait..will naruto be in this story too or just kurama? XD 😅
8319375
Naruto literally died in the first Chapter.
8327104
o...oh o_o
......no new update from our dear author.....I'm getting scared
Hey guys.....sorry i haven't put up a new chapter but recently i've been in a bit of a depressed flunk...the girl that i had been going out with for about 1 year and a half had been cheating on me with my best friend and that kinda killed everything for me...but ive decided to not let it put me down anymore and im starting back on this at the moment hehe....sorry if i've worried anyone
8381843
Your alive huzahh!
And ouch sorry to hear about that....admittedly if you think about it if your best friend was cheating on you with your girlfriend then it's safe to say at least that he wasn't really much of a friend in the first place
A real best friend would have come clean if their best friends girlfriend tried to hit or cheat on said best friend with them
Same can be said about the girlfriend
If she was losing interest in you then she could have at least had the decency to break it off properly but no instead she just decides to 2 time on your so called best friend instead with said friend staying quite about it rather than coming clean?
Excuse me but all I can say about a woman like that is again excuse language WHAT A BITCH!....actually how about SLUT instead seems more fitting with what she was doing
Okay ranting aside I'm really sorry you had to experience something like that
But a broken hearth can always be fixed and made whole again just....keep your chin up and break things off and try and think of the positives of the situation
At the very least you can be the one who gets to keep both the moral high ground and keep their dignity intact
People hearing her cheating on you with your best friend isn't exactly gonna give her any form of positive image
And your so called best friend isn't exactly gonna get a rep for being trust worthy anymore for something like this same for the girl too
Things may seem bad right now but based on my own experience with life shitting on you it eventually gets better
Just give it time
Because as I said before a broken heart can be fixed and made whole again just give it time....you can also say this is a sign that she wasn't the right one for you at least
That's a positive (somewhat) right there
The just means that one special girl for you is still out there just waiting to meet you
8385405
That's a really positive outlook on it all...and of course they're not my friends after that, still...it hurt a bit...
though it definitely doesn't help when after a night of typing and editing the next chapter my laptop decided that IT DOESN'T FREAKING SAVE!
ok....calm now.....anyway...if my typing continues then it should be up today
8385463
Meh my funny type of depression does that to me
Some moments I'm so depressed that I wind up having suicidal thoughts other moments I manage to ignore it and regain my ridiculous positive out look in life I had in my younger years if not that my usual outlook in life is trying my absolute best to keep thinking positive to avoid deepening my depression.....the last time that happened I winded up getting caught by my sisters tying a noose...lets just say shit hit the fan for a while for me and everyone in my family
Lol Dude I would have questioned anyone's sanity if they still considered the people who did that to them friends lol
Don't worry if it still hurts time heals all wounds
Best thing for you right now would be to surround yourself with friends and family.....specifically friends that you can actually call friend's
On topic about your laptop
Lol that reminds me of what happened to my eldest sister
She spent a couple of hours on the report she was working on for her school project and left it alone for a bit
When she came back she saw the laptop on sleep mode
Her first response was it's alright its just in sleep mode
When she opened it she winded up screaming and raging for at least an hour when she found out that the laptop didn't save her work and going into sleep mode winded up closing everything she was doing lol
Well time to see how my luck fares and see if you can get it up today
Love this story. There are several naruto fics to be found on fimfiction, but none that have Kurama as the main character. I wish there were more like it.
I like how you're writing Kurama as an, in a way, arrogant jerk, but his arrogance and standoffish personality are rightly deserved in his case. Compared to him, ponies really are less than nothing. Personally, I like the scenes where Kurama doesn't 'lose' to another, such as when he shot Twilight down when she wanted him to apologize to the populace as oppoosed to the part where Twilight outsmarted him with that bit about foxes being predators and prey. You could perhaps have Kurama make the comment that he'll be prey when Twilight finds something that can hunt him(an effort in futility)
Definitely looking forward to Kurama's interactions with the rest of the mane 6, especially Fluttershy's, though, I'm hoping you don't have him either be intimidated(such as by the stare) or babied by her.
Can't wait for the next chapter, whenever that might be. =)
8428007
You probably lost interest because of the hundreds upon hundreds of filler episodes huh?
8434623
During the war arc the fillers pretty much thinned out or in some cases actually where connected to canon
After the Second Valley of the end fight the episodes that people thought were filler where actually the novels that Kishimoto wrote that directly tie in with both the Naruto the Last movie and the Boruto movie
Can't wait for Kurama to meet pinkie
8439164
oh he will be very annoyed and angry when he meets her because we all know how she is to the “newcomers” 😂
GOOD, you actually gave him a massive ego like he's supposed to have.
I really hope that when he does become "reformed" and becomes friends with the ponies, it's the Discord type of reformed, where he still is egotistical and still has the same sense of humor, he's just more inclined to respect them or trust them.
Me realizing that Kurama could have used twilights words agenst her...
Kurama:*raises left eyebrow* And?.. in case you haven't noticed I'm a kitsune. not a fox. Thus I'm correct, and you are wrong.
Now that I think about it, can kurama even beat most of the ponies?
