Kurama couldn't help it, after having Naruto as his host some of his personality had rubbed of on him and he couldn't help but scare the.......odd things that had came right into his home, though he could easily say mostly their reactions had surprised him. Firstly, the two large horses with wings and horns had used some jutsu to create a dome of energy around them, and while he was the most powerful Bijuu alive, he could admit it would stop even the Gobi no Houkou, which for mortals was very impressive. Next he had seen that the man-bull thing had pulled a bundle of bandages with a handle which looked like a large pole,which looked strangely familiar, off his back and then stood in a solid stance ready to defend at a moments notice. Lastly, the winged lion had spread her wings wide which seemed to cause them to generate electricity that spread across the armor it wore. The only disappointment was the small lilac one, who had fallen to the floor after screaming at his performance and had yet to stop shaking.
"Hold creature, we do not wish to fight you, just to ask why you are under our city" The dark blue horse with what seemed like stars for a mane took a few steps forwards and stared defiantly into his crimson eyes.
Kurama took a few moments to process this, from the fact that the horse had spoken to him down to him and that the mountain which he had took residence in so long ago now had a city on it, then he snarled and swung his head around wildly.
"If you only want to speak, then why have one of your numbers vanished!" At this, the whole group, apart from the one shaking on the ground, looked around and then the man-bull stepped forwards.
"Him vanishing is our insurance you won't attack us, as if you did he would be able to interrupt. Now, after seeing you aren't too violent, i would wish to exchange names, I am Solid Grip, my griffin friend in the back is Charm Holder, the one who has vanished is Gleaming Shield, the two alicorns are Princess Celestia and Princess Luna", it was here he motioned to the two large horses, or should he say alicorns." and the young mare you have scared so much is Twilight Sparkle" Here he turned his head upwards to glare right into Kurama's eyes. "We do not appreciate you doing so, if you could apologize?"
Kurama was shocked, so shocked that a creature that was dirt, just dirt beneath his paws had the gall to ask him to apologize, he was about to smash the ground which they stood on till he saw the mare's, Twilight, tear stained face as she glanced up....it made him think of something....something a friend said....."Show the world even the Bijuu are capable of friendship!" Kurama clenched his claws together as he looked at the floor, slowly realizing that Naruto wouldn't of wanted him to continue to terrorize any sentient thing, even if he had thought of it as a simple prank, his great tails swirled around behind him in anxiety.
".....Fine, I apologise and about my name..... At this point, Kurama allowed his yokai to illuminate him and his surroundings, revealing his massive true form to the small group in front of him, all nine of his tails raising up to add extra height to himself. "I am the greatest of all creatures, all who fight me are defeated, i was called a walking natural disaster! I AM THE GREAT KYUUBI NO KITSUNE, KURAMA!" Here, Twilight, who had looked up when he had apologized, started to move forwards, a expression of what looked like hunger replacing the face of terror she had worn earlier.
"Umm, Ku-Kurama, is it? I've never heard of you or read any legend of you....so just how long have you been in this cave?" It seemed the small mare had gotten over her scare now, though the look in her eyes disturbed Kurama slightly.
"How long?.........I do not know that myself, though it must of been a great number of years" Kurama allowed his eyes to roam around the cave, attempting to use his ability to sense negative emotions to find the missing one, but it seemed that they either had extreme skill in hiding there emotions or had no negative emotions to speak of at the moment.
It was at this moment the white alicorn, Celestia he remembered, slowly took a few steps forward.
"Me and my sister, Luna, are the rulers of the city which you are under and recently we had been invaded, so we apologies for being somewhat hostile to you, and now that you are aware of being under a city, may i ask what will you do now?"
Kurama had to think for this, as he himself didn't know what to say, as telling them that he wasn't moving might cause them to become hostile and attack him, meaning he would have to incinerate them all and then break his way out of the mountain and escape and doing so increased the chances of others chasing him down, requiring him to kill them as well until he could get some peace......luckily for the ponies, he was too lazy to do such a thing.
"I may just leave, there is not much else i can do but find someone to lay about as i do not wish to be hunted down if i accidentally destroyed something and that is a lot easier to do than you think"
At those words Celestia started to think deeply, until her face set into a small but comforting smile, which somehow affected even Kurama, though only to a small effect.
"I believe i know of a place you can stay, a small town called Ponyville, there is a forest which not many go in you could stay at and sleep, though i do ask that you sometimes come into the town so my student, Twilight, could possible put your great knowledge of time before ponies to use and have a few books published, you could even explain a few mysteries about magic and other artifacts which have been found, though the only problem i see is your size, as staying in Ponyville would be disastrous and not to mention trying to get you out of the caves here without destroying them...."
Kurama grinned, which once again cause the group to back away.
"I think i can help with that...."
A massive spiral of energy exploded around Kurama, cracking the ground he stood on, as he slowly became enveloped in it, the grin on his face could still be seen, then the now tornado of energy slowly got smaller, smaller, smaller and smaller until it was roughly the size of the princess' and it faded away to reveal.....an alicorn sized fox with large ears and nine small tails.
Kurama grinned as he stared into Celestia's eyes which had gone wide with shock at seeing his now much smaller form.
"That does make things....easier"
"I aim to please"
And with that they walked back through the caves.
After discussing all the rules Kurama had to follow in his stay in the forest, the Everfree forest if he recalled correctly, Kurama found himself in a carriage being pulled by a few pegasus guards who would take them to Ponyville and have them explain what he is doing there to the mayor and by them, he meant the small purple unicorn that was seated with him but had yet to say anything, though by her face he could tell she wanted to. He sighed as his mind went back over the rules he had been given.
"You will be taken to Ponyville and be allowed to live around the outskirts of the Everfree Forest, you are not allowed to become your full size as it would terrorize the town and the members of Squad 9 will come to town occasionally to check on you.Twilight can also send me messages directly in case you purposely hurt any ponies. you will be also be expected to also help defend the town from any threats
"What a shame......so many rules to follow, and I'm not allowed to harm anyone.....well, I wonder if pranks counts as harming, I'll just have to find out myself th-
"Do you want to be friends?"
Kurama was brought out of his musing by this as he whipped his head around to face the young mare who seemed rather embarrassed about blurting out that.
"I'm sorry, it sounded like you asked whether I wanted to be friends, could you please say that again?"
"Well, its just that i remembered you had been asleep for so long so no-one you knew in your time would still be....here....so i thought you would be alone and maybe we could be-"
"No, we won't be friends" Her reminding him that everyone was gone wasn't helping.....and reminding him of Naruto was even worse.
"At least......not yet, first we will be acquaintances and maybe we can become....friends, though i don't guaranty anything"
Twilight's face brightened up at this then blushed and looked back at the carriage floor
Slowly, they started to descend to the ground.
"looks like we're here Kurama, don't scare anyone, please, it would make things much harder to explain as everyone here has the tendency to.....overreact"
The smile he gave Twilight as they landed in the very busy town square still gave her nightmares to this day.
"Oh ye of little faith" After saying this he turned to face the small crowd of ponies surrounding him and gave them a grin which showed of most of his impressive white, meat eating teeth.
"Hello, I am what you call a monster, pleasure to meet you all" with that, he flared his tails out which caused a small wave of wind to hit the ponies.
Silence.........
"AHHHHHHH IT'S GOING TO EAT US, RUN EVERYPONY!"
......didn't last long
And with that scream, the whole of the town square was abandoned, apart from two confused guards, an face-hoofing purple mare and a smirking kitsune
"It's good to be back" Kurama looked to the sky. "I'll make your dream come true Naruto, one step at a time. Then he turned to Twilight."So where to now?"
And with that, One tale has been released, Eight more are left
What will happen when the count hits Zero?
welcome back kid
that's one way to introduce oneself, shame going full sized wasn't an option
Some IDIOT will think it's a good idea to invade Equestria! I look forward to the school-yard bully tripping in the playground and ending up with just about every bone in their body broken most organs at least bruised several though ruptured and all-round better attitude instilled in them.
Ahhh, there is SO MUCH to be said for the old-school way of dealing with bullies.
Seriously, having all nine of the Tailed Beasts in one country and that country being attacked is NOT a plan for long term survival.
I...like the concept. The execution, however, is really really clunky.
Not bad.
YAY! YOU'RE BACK!!
HOLY SHIT! NO!
NONONONONONO!!!!
ANY TIME YOU HAVE THE LETTER "I" BY ITSELF IT'S CAPATALIZED!!! ALSO! APOLOGIZE NOT APOLOGIES. APOLOGIES IS PLURAL.
One tail released? Huh? I haven't seen the anime so could someone please fill me in here?
Also, tale is like a story, tail is the fluffy thing attached to animal's butts.
7169554
I believe that was meant as a play on words/reference to the story title.
7169554 basicly their are 9 different tailed beasts each has a different amount of tails i cannot remember all of their names nor species
While shrinking him down does open a lot of doors for interactions, I was kinda looking forward to Twilight&Co trying to explain that the mountain sized, murderous looking fox, is friendly.
Oh well. Still interested in where you'll go with this.
somehow I didn't like it if simple creatures manage to bos him around, even if it was something harmless and he had a reason to apologize.
till now everything seems to go to smoothly. I think he should be able to find the missing one, since I suppose he wouldn't even be able to win against Luna or Celestia.
NOt sure what it is with me this morning, but like I said I would prefer it if he is a bit more.....grumpy?, proud? I think I just want him not to do everything they want right away.
noooo, just no would have been nice to read. I know you probably took him right out of Naruto, but I don'T really want him to give in so easily. He already said, that Twilight maybe has the chance to be his friend. I thought it was about him learning friendship and not about him more or less just accepting it.
what he said he wouldn't be I believe.
I won't say that it is that bad as it looks like, but I really wasn't completely happy with it this time.
7169543
Gaahh im sorry, didn't fully check this after typing it up!
my apologies......

Meeh meeh, going full size won't be a option for a while, BUT Kurama has been alive for many years and has found a loophole,so to speak, so see if you can find the loophole in that argument
7170120
Also, i should probably mention this now, but in the time Kurama has been asleep, he has fully regained his yin half, or at least i think it was yin, and so his full size has almost doubled from the anime, as well as his power, this also means that while Kurama at the moment seems too nice and OOC, it just means that he has control over his rage, but Ponyville will see some of his rage very soon.....
Also, has anyone thought that Kurama kind got the short end of the stick for powers? Negative feeling sensing and a bit under infinite energy, that's all it shows him really use that is unique to him, so that's why he will now have a few new abilities, so don't get too shocked if you see something that doesn't make sense to you
7171060 The first time I saw that I just kept reading, second time I paused, then continued in the hopes that it wouldn't happen again, third
striketime and that comment was the result.7171060 hhhhmmmm alright, I can live with it as long as I get an explaation like this.
Capital letters are your friend. Do not be afraid of the capital 'I'. It is good and doesn't make one think of a text message.
Glorious introduction, Kurama!
7171060 Hold it right there I object!
Kurama if he is indeed complete was shown to be FIVE TIMES the size that he was sown in the anime!
Not TWICE but is instead FIVE TIMES his size that he was shown in the anime.....and also he was re combined with his Missing half....directly AFTER the War itself
7179136 i thought that half was taken again by Kaguya
and what do you mean 5 times as big?!?!
thats five times bigger than the mountain Canterlot is on....
oh damn i tired...had to re-edit that comment 3 times
Oh I love this story so much, MUST READ MORE!
7180481 Literally it was confirmed that directly after the war he was re combined with his other half
And for the size go look at the chapter when he was sealed in Naruto and split in half....look at the hand print he left behind compare it
*maniacal laughter* it's alive! *thunder in background*
Also about the powers that he was given after he was born.....really you don't think there any use and overpowered in there own way?
During his Era it was much easier to avoid everybody due to said Negative emotion sensing
It also makes it impossible to lie to him.....or try and sneak attack him
With just said massive amounts of power alone he already overpowered most of his siblings.....i wouldn't be surprised if he actually took on more than one of his sibling alone just to really give him a good exercise
Though in the long run it's up to you if you wan't to give him more powers.....just please don't go for the Cliche Kitsune or fox related powers.....you don't exactly see most of his siblings with special powers using something related to there forms now due you?
Last I checked Tanuki's don't use sand the way Shukaku does
I have also never heard of a monkey that manipulates lava
Or a Horse dolphin hybrid using steam too
Like with said sibling maybe you should try and give him something truly unique and original....not something bland and Cliche....heck maybe you can even base it around his already existing power of negative emotion sensing and masives amount of power
Imagine him having a power that allows him to influence people with any amount and any type of Negative Emotion.....and him having the power to super charge it thanks to his nearly infinite reserves of energy
He could drive somebody into a animalistic berserker rage....like he usually did with Naruto during the beginning
He can completely crush somebodies spirits and hopes by drowning them in despair and doom
Heck maybe he can make somebody kill someone else due to jealousy and envy
See the sky is the limit when you put you're mind to it even to something as simple as the powers Kurama has!?
I'm vary happy with the story you writing this story is getting very interesting to read keep up a good work. Question will kurama has a pairing in this story just wanted to know? Update more soon
For the love of god, get an editor.
I will be watching this from now.
I would like to have a new chapter please.
Well damn other then a few spelling errors this story is pretty good can not wait for the next chapter
Being offline for more than 17 weeks does not bode well for this story and those who loved it....which includes me sadly
I wish you would update this is amazing
7219993 the hachibi ( octopus) uses his ink and the seven tailed beast acts like a bug queen. The slug uses it's slime and the three tailed turtle has the shell for defense. Two tailed matabi gives her jinchuriki night vision and claws. Nearly every tailed beast has some power inspired by their animal. Even Shikaku's sand could be a metaphor for the tanuki ability to shape-shift, as sand is flowing and shifting. Also I'm fairly certain both tanuki and shikaku have a shared weakness to water, but I'm not certain.
8078886 I meant they have power's that you don't usually associate with whatever animal or hybrid they where
Shukaku and Sangoku being the better examples
Gyuuki and his apparent lightning powers being just straight up weird
And technically Chomei was using light
is this story dead or not?
More please
Its alive..... IT'S ALIIIIIIIVVVVEEEEEE!!!! MWAAHAHAHAHAAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.!!!!!!!
I think when the tails count hits zero, it's going to be something like "mob psycho 100." That's just my guess though.
Kurama is gonna have more fun here than he did in konoha.
10781500
That's konOha not konAha dude.
