My Demon Tenant Can't Be This Cute!

My Demon Tenant Forever!

How many years had passed since they had left Konoha?

Much more than just a couple of decades. A lot more than just a few centuries. Perhaps even a millennium. Honestly, she had lost count. It was hard to really keep track of time when it passed by so quickly. She would have to thank Naruto for that. He made every single day exciting after-all.

Even as the world evolved, broke down and evolved again, he was there with her.

Obviously the first few years were pretty rough, but that was to be expected. It only got easier once Naruto's body had fully transitioned itself to being made up completely of her chakra. It had been a bit awkward at first, but not having to eat, sleep or anything else that limited the human body turned out to be pretty cool.

Not that they did not continue eating and sleeping afterward. Just because they did not need to do it, it did not mean that they did not enjoy eating or sleeping.

They had eventually became a pair of traveling merchants, spending their days sitting on a cart and selling their goods in the towns they passed. Since they were always constantly on the move, the Akatsuki could never pinpoint them. The constant worry of being found out slowly died after a couple decades had passed. They always kept hoods on their heads whenever they traveled through different villages.

It would not do for people to get suspicious of their lack of age after years had passed.

As they traveled around, Naruto had always done his best to get news on Konoha. It was always a fond memory to look back on; the expression of surprise on Naruto's face when he had heard that Sakura had became the Hokage after being under the tutelage of Tsunade.

It was also even more surprising that Sakura had ended up marrying Shikamaru.

Naruto never asked around about Sasuke though. In his mind, Sasuke was a person he just wanted to forget.

Which he eventually did.

She was fine with that. She never talked about Sasuke, but she had made a promise to herself that if she ever encountered the Uchiha, she would slap him dead on the spot. Any person that dared hurt her beloved companion deserved to die after-all.

Kyuumi would also never forget those days when Naruto would receive bad news on those he cared about. Whenever a friend died, he would always hear about it. He would always make sure to be at their funeral, usually transformed into something discreet, like a bird or a squirrel.

Sometimes a fox.

She would be there for him during those times. She would comfort him. It was never easy, but she was glad that in their relationship, it was just her relying on him. She liked the balance.

It was hard for Naruto sometimes, she would have to admit. It took a long time for him to get use to immortality and the consequences of being able to live forever. People would die, but he would remain. He never gave up on making friends whenever he could though. It was almost an unconscious decision for him, that if he would be able to live forever, he would spend forever being kind to others.

He was noble like that. It was one of the reasons she loved him.

More and more years had passed by. New Hokages came around, wars were waged, people rebuilt. Not that they minded. As long as they had each-other, they could just shut out the world around them.

Some time around what must have been the nineth, perhaps the tenth war, most of the ninja in the world had effectively wiped themselves out. It was funny really, that a hundred years worth of tradition was ended by itself. Eventually those who were knowledgable in using chakra to perform techniques died out. The people left behind, now with no real effective way of waging the large scale wars they once were able to, focused on peace and innovation.
