After a long night peaceful night of slumber I slowly started to wake up due to the familiar thumping on my backside. I growled and said,” if that is you you annoying cotton tailed pest then I will hit you ten times harder than I did yesterday.” I then opened so I could see if it was that annoying rabbit that was hitting my backside, and surprise surprise it was.
I picked up the tiny fluff ball by the ears with the tail closest to it and when I did I held it in front of me said,” okay last warning pest you hit me again and I will smash you.” I thought that would scare the little pest into never hitting me again but I was wrong. The little thing kicked me square in the nose.
As I screamed in surprise I could hear a very angry Kurama yell,”KNOCK IT OFF! You are being to loud!”
I looked at Kurama while still holding the rabbit and said,” It wasn’t my fault this little varment keeps kicking me and it is getting very annoying.” I then looked back at the rabbit and with a evil grin started to spin it around using my tail.
After doing this for a minute or so I heard a loud, angry, voice say,” Son you stop that right now and put Angel Bunny down right now!” I stopped spinning the bunny around and turned to see a very angry Fluttershy glaring at me with a very stern glare.
I laughed nervously and asked,” Hey Fluttershy when did you wake up?” Unsurprisingly she didn’t say a thing, all she did was glare at me with the same kind of look that a mother gives a misbehaving child. I lowered my head as I set the bunny down on the ground and said,” I’m sorry Fluttershy.”
As this was going on I could hear Kurama in my head in a mocking voice said,” well i guess i need to double your stealth training.”
I growled at Kurama’s words but didn’t do so for long because Fluttershy had stomped her hoof on the ground and said,” There will none of that Son, stop growling right now.” I sighed as I raised my head to face her and in a defeated tone and said,” yes ma’am.”
This made Fluttershy smile and say,” Good now why don’t you and Kurama come and have some breakfast before you start your training.” Fluttershy then turned to Kurama and said,” And remember that I am choosing his lesson today Kurama.”
“I know. What kind of things do you want him to learn?” Kurama asked as he stood up from his bed.
Fluttershy smiled and said,” Well I don’t know exactly, I don’t really know what you can teach him and what he can learn.” This made both me and Kurama slouch over and sigh.
“Well what kind of things would you WANT him to learn?” Kurama asked in a very annoyed tone of voice.
Fluttershy smiled and said,” We will talk about that during breakfast, now come along you two I picked up some special food just for the two of you.”
I smiled when I she said this and decided to run into the kitchen to see what the food was she was speaking about. Once in there I didn’t see any special food and asked,” Fluttershy where is the special food that you had mentioned, I am hungry.”
Fluttershy smiled as she walked over to me and slowly started to pet my head while saying,” I still have to make it Son so please be patient.”
This made me grumble in annoyance and said,”aw but I want to eat now.” This childish behaviour earned me mad glare from both Fluttershy and Kurama.
“A ninja must learn patience Son.” Kurama said as he padded closer to me until he was right over me glaring daggers down at me. This look scared me beyond belief and made me backup in sheer terror.
Fluttershy looked at Kurama and said,” Kurama that is enough can’t see you are scaring him.” Kurama scoffed as he backed away from me and went to his seat. “Perhaps you are right. I am just not used to this kind of thing is all.”
Fluttershy turned her head to the side and asked,” What do you mean, are you talking about being a big brother?”
I looked at Kurama when she said this and burst out into laughter. This made Kurama to growl at me and in a angry voice say,”you will shut up right now or i will double your the running distance.”
This made me stop by laughing but I still found it kinda funny how Fluttershy had referred to Kurama as his big brother. Sure he was older, wiser, and has somewhat of a brotherly aura around him. I looked at him and wondered why I had these feelings and will I feel the same way with the other Tailed Beasts, and even if there was any other Tailed Beast’s out there.
After thinking about this fo a while my concentration was shaken by Fluttershy asking,” Is something the matter Son? You seem to be lost in thought.”
I looked at Fluttershy and said,” Oh i’m sorry, I was just wondering if there are any other Tailed Beast’s out there like me and Kurama.”
Fluttershy turned her head to the side and asked,” So there are more creatures like you, you and Kurama I mean?” She seemed to really like the idea of other creatures like me and Kurama running around.
I blinked a couple minutes before I started to chuckle from her actions. I then said,” Yeah counting the me and Kurama there is nine of us in total.” I then took a deep breath and started to name off all the Tailed Beasts,” There is Shukaku the one tail, Matatabi the two tails, Isobu the three tails, me Son Goku the four tails, Kokuō the five tails, Saiken the six tails, Chōmei the seven tails, Gyūki the eight tails, and finally Kurama the nine tails.” After I finished rattling off all the names I let out a deep breath.
Fluttershy smiled and said,” Wow you two really do have a lot of siblings.” While keeping her smile she asked,” Are their anymore like you that you haven’t told me yet.”
I turned my head and went over the list of Tailed Beasts in my mind and after a bit of thinking I remembered the one that I forgot. I straightened out my head and said,” Now that you mention it there is one other Tailed Beast, which in a way is are mother.”
At the mention of this both Fluttershy’s and Kurama’s eyes shot open, Fluttershy’s was because of shock while Kurama’s was from fear. “ Um why are you two staring at me like that?” I asked wondering why this fact shocked them so much.
Kurama growled a bit and in a sharp tone said,” we don’t speak of the ten tails. We come from her and that is all.”
Fluttershy looked at Kurama and asked,” Kurama why do you say you can’t talk about her, she is your mother right?”
Kurama sighed and while looking down at the table he said,” imagine the worst monster you can think of. Now times that by ten and add insane power. That is the ten tails.”
Fluttershy looked at Kurama with shock and said,” Kurama that is no way to talk about yours and Son’s mother.”
I shrugged and said,” Well he isn’t wrong, she was really evil and literally a giant raging monster that had the power to easily destroy the world.”
Fluttershy looked at me with the same shock and said,” Now that is enough you two she is your mother.”
Kurama rolled his eyes and as way to try and change the subject said,” to settle this i can show you we are telling the truth or is there something else you wish to ask?”
Fluttershy sighed and said,” No I have no further questions.” Fluttershy then set down two bowls full of food in front of us and said,” Now you two eat up and afterwards you two can train.”
Me and Kurama looked at the bowls of food and then started to eat. After we finished me, Kurama, and Fluttershy went outside so me and Kurama could train.
Once outside Kurama said,” now time to work on your body first. Yesterday showed me i need to build you up. ⅓ of what i had you run last time at battle pace.”
I sighed said,” Hai Kurama sensei.” I then started to run one ⅓ of the distance that I had the day before at the speed he told me to. After I finished I walked over to Kurama and asked,” Okay now that I am tired, what do we do next?”
Kuraa then looked at Fluttershy and me as he said,” well first i want you to go as fast as you can for as long as you can. After that i think i have a art to teach you that our friend here might like for you to learn.”
I sighed and in a depressed voice said,” Hai sensei.” After running for about fifty minutes of running around full speed I collapsed to the ground. I groaned and said,” Okay i’m done, goodbye cruel world.” I then acted like I had died.
Kurama rolled his eyes and said,” get up silly fool! Time for you to learn how to heal.”
I groaned as I started to slowly stand back up. Once I was fully up I asked,” why do I have to learn healing techniques, we heal not very long after getting hurt?”
Kurama raised one of his tails and pointed it Fluttershy. Kurama then, in a somewhat annoyed voice, said,” you do but what of your allies and friends? What if Fluttershy gets hurt?”
I sighed and said,” I understand Kurama Sensei.” I then walked over to him until I was right in front of him and asked,” So where do we begin?”
Kurama smiled and said,” like all arts. Time for you to learn the signs.” Kurama then started to draw all the the hand signs on the ground and once he was finished he said,” try doing each sign first. Then when you have it down try to use it.”
I turned my head to the side and asked,” Um how am I supposed to practice it when there is nothing hurt around?”
Kurama gave a quick nod before turning to Fluttershy and asking,” do you have any cuts or shuch?”
Fluttershy shook her head and said,” No but angel Bunny has a couple bruises from him and Son ruff housing like they were.”
I growled and said,” Nope I am not doing anything for that little devil.” I then turned my back from them both which earned me a deep growl from Kurama.
I turned back around slowly until I faced a very angry Kurama. Kurama then in a very demanding voice said,” you will test it on him. But who knows? Maybe your first couple of tries might hurt him some more?”
I smiled evilly and said,” Now that you put that way I would love to try it out on him.” Fluttershy then gave a that look again, that motherly look. I lowered my head and said,” fine I will make sure not to hurt him anymore.”
Fluttershy stopped giving me the look and gave a quick nod as a way of saying good. Kurama then coughed a bit as a way of breaking the tension and said,” are you ready to try?”
I sighed and said,” yes sensei, i’m ready.” Kurama gave a quick nod as he went into the cottage to grab the little rodent. After a couple minutes Kurama came out of the house holding the little devil with his tails.
Kurama then placed Angel in front of me and said,” try it now please. Lets see if you have picked this up.”
I gave Kurama a quick nod before weaving the hand signs that he had drawn on the ground. Once I had done that my hands started to glow green with healing powers. I moved my hands over to the pest until I was over it.
After almost an hour of training the little devil still wasn’t healed, not a scratch. I growled angrily and said,” Oh this is pointless, I can’t do this.”
Fluttershy then stood up and walked over to me. Once there she wrapped her left wig around me and said,” Don’t worry Son I bet with a bit more practice you will get it.”
For some reason this made me really happy and kinda determined to master this jutsu. But before I could try the jutsu again my vision started to grow blurry and I feel to the ground unconscious.
As I laid there unconscious the voice from the night before said,” Son you must find them, find your brothers and sisters for a great disaster is coming.” Then a picture of the eight tails flashed before me as the voice continued to say,” Find him first, Find Gyūki for he will know where to find the rest.”
After the voice said this I started to regain consciousness. Once I was awake I was greeted by a worried Kurama and Fluttershy looking down at me.
I looked at the two of them and asked,” Um what happened?” I then looked around and finally noticed I was on my bed and it was dark outside. I then looked back at Kurama and Fluttershy and asked,” How long was I out?”
Kurama let out a sigh and said,” about six hours. You used up a lot of your chakra at once and passed out. I’m shocked though. That was a lot of chakra for a newborn.”
I chuckled and said,” Really that must mean that I am more awesome than I thought I was.”
Fluttershy chuckled and said,” Okay now simmer down there Son, you need to get some rest.” She then looked over at Kurama and said,” You too mister, it is time for bed.”
Kurama gave a quick nod and went over to his bed and lied down. Fluttershy smiled at us both and said,” Alright boys I will see you in the morning.” Fluttershy then turned off all the light as she went upstairs.
After about three hours of me trying to go to sleep but being unable to due to the voices words ringing in my mind I decided to do what it said. I stood up from my bed, making sure Kurama was asleep, and made my way out of the cottage and onto the porch.
I sighed and under my breath said,” I can’t believe I am doing this, Kurama and Fluttershy are so gonna kill me when they find out.” I then ran out into the dark night not really knowing where I was going or how long it would take. The only thing I did know was I have to find Gyūki!
