Uzumaki Naruto: Birth of the New Demon King by The Engulfing Silence

Chaoter 5: A Saints Day

Birth of the New Demon King

It had been three weeks since Naruto and Kyuubi had entered the realm of Makai, and during that time Naruto had grown a lot, and not just in strength. With his youki still more or less trying to balance itself within his body, the blond had grown another five inches, making him stand at a height of 6' even, or 182 centimeters. He also looked older now, his physical body matching the sixteen to eighteen year old look of Kyuubi. Speaking of the vixen she was the one who told him why he was growing so damn much.

Not that Naruto was going to complain. His height had always been something he had been self-conscious about. The fact that most of the kids at the academy had teased him for being so short notwithstanding.

The reason for his incredibly growth spurt, apparently, was because he quite simply had too much youki for his body to handle. With the nearly overwhelming amount of power now being regulated through his tenketsu, his body had been close to destroying itself from the inside out. Thus the excess youki that he let out subconsciously was being used to increase his growth in order to handle his power. For someone who had been about just short of 146 centimeters just a little less then a month ago, it was a nice change.

Naruto had learned much, both about his new powers and his demon heritage. Under Kyuubi's tutelage he had learned how to manipulate his youki. With the use of his kage bunshin training method, in which Naruto usually had around two or three thousand clones on average, the blond could now say he was a master at manipulating his own energy. Though Kyuubi's words that he was 'good enough for now' had made him face-fault. Still, he couldn't deny she was way better at energy manipulation then he was, and so he didn't complain when the red head had told him he still had a lot to learn.

He had also gained much better control over his chakra. Because Naruto was at least part human, he still had his large reservoir of chakra, which had also taken a leap in size, his reserves being about twice as large as they had been when he was human.

Kyuubi had told him this was because the seal had still been active for some time after she had been unsealed, even though it no longer had anything to hold after she had been released. The seal, which had originally been designed to leak Kyuubi's youki into Naruto's chakra coils, had instead taken Naruto's own youki and began pumping them through his chakra coils, increasing them in size before the seal was destroyed completely.

He did not know how good his control was, as there was no way for him to measure it. However, Naruto now had a very good feel of his own chakra, and the several jutsu that he knew; kage bunshin, Kawarimi and Henge, could all be done seallessly and without smoke.

On a side note, for some reason the only human technique that he could use with his youki was the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Naruto assumed that was because it was a direct manipulation of energy, whereas the henge was a genjutsu/ninjutsu hybrid and the Kawarimi was a very basic Jikukan jutsu.

Not everything they had done was fighting, however, they had taken frequent trips back to Heseki's shop. After explaining who it was the four-tailed kitsune had insulted, and swearing him to total secrecy, the man had been much more accommodating towards them, even going so far as to give Naruto's first two sets of clothes to him for free. After that they had gotten a nice discount, and the blond was now the proud owner of several sets of kimono's and battle outfits that would repair themselves and grow as he did. A good thing too since he had been 173 centimeters when he first got his clothes.

Currently Naruto was wearing his favorite outfit. Tight black pants that were designed to stretch across his form to fit his muscular legs. He wasn't wearing a shirt, but he did have a vest that was made from the skin of one of the Greater Fiends he had killed during his training. It was black with a dark orange Uzumaki Swirl on the back, which was surrounded by a pattern similar to the tattoo around Raizen's left eye in the same orange color. Currently it was unzipped, showing off Naruto ripped torso. Over his vest was a sleeveless Haori, it was also black, with another orange Uzumaki swirl on the back and had orange flames licking the bottom and reaching down to his ankles. It came with a hood sewn into it, Heseki had placed a kitsune enchantment on his hood, so that when Naruto put it up all someone would see were his eyes. The Haori could also zip up, and when Naruto wanted he could attach sleeves of varying sizes and makes to it so that no one would be able to see what he looked like.
