[Are you done being a fucking moron? We have better things to do than continue your little pity party.] Said the Kyuubi, irritably.
"You're such an insensitive bitch sometimes Kyu-chan! Why can't you just let me have a few moments to grieve? Is it that time of the month for you? Is that why you're acting up?" He pondered.
[HOW DARE YOU! YOU WORTLESS LITTLE FUCK! GET IN THIS CAGE RIGHT NOW! I'LL RIP YOU LIMB FROM LIMB BEFORE SETTING YOU ON FIRE THEN PISSING ON YOU TO PUT IT OUT BEFORE TAKING THE MOTHER OF ALL DUMPS ON YOU AND WATCH YOU SUFFOCATE ON IT!] She roared violently while bashing her head against her cage. Naruto just sweat-dropped, having gotten used to his friends somewhat bi-polar tendencies, not to mention her vocabulary that would put a sailor to shame. It's a bit sad that he's become so accustomed to her death threats that he barely blinks anymore. He knows he should probably stop annoying her, but he has way too much fun doing it. Her reactions are always hilarious and he loves the new and interesting threats she comes up with. To Naruto, it's their special way of bonding.
"You know, if you're trying to convince me you aren't PMS'ing.....it's not working. You're really messed up you know that Kyu-chan. Like, needing serious psychological help immediately, messed up. But don't worry Kyu-chan, I still love you. Even though you're a complete nutjob. I wonder if the other Jinchuuriki's have a hard time as I do with a mentally unstable tenant." Said Naruto as he pondered on his fellow Jinchuuriki's. The Kyuubi silently seethed in her cage. She had murder, genocide, death, destruction, apocalypse and all other kinds of calamities on her mind as she tried to blow up her host's brain with her mind. Unfortunately for her, it didn't work. It pissed her off that he had the nerve to question her sanity, when he was the one preforming some ceremony just to burn some clothes. The fact that he mirrored her thoughts a few moments ago only served to piss her off even more. But she took a calming breath. In and out. In and out....after counting backwards from 1000, because 10 wasn't enough for her, she was finally relatively calm again. She knew he did it to annoy her on purpose, but it was hard for her to control herself from performing a reflex action. She promised herself that she would get him back one of these days. It would be painful and humiliating....she could picture it now....her glorious moment when he grovels at her feet, humbled by her genius, vowing never to tease her again...she started chuckling darkly to herself at the imaginary, causing Naruto to sweat-drop.
"If you're done plotting my imaginary demise, let's move on from this little skit." Said Naruto, catching her attention. She noticed that the drum with the burning jumpsuits were nowhere to be seen, and his apartment looked as clean as a whistle, with no soot or fake snow.
[Wha?] She stuttered.
"Fufu...I cleaned up while you were lost in your little fantasy Kyu-chan." He answered as he went to his wardrobe and took out on of the many pairs of his new outfit that he picked out with Kyu-chan all those months ago.
After just over 5 months of hard-core training, he was delighted with the progress he made. It was quite noticeable to him. His chakra was smooth and controlled, for the most part at least. While he would never be on the level of and Iryo-nin or Genjutsu specialists, he was quite happy with his above average control. Those brutal chakra-control exercises really were worth their weight in gold.
His Ninjutsu, as expected, was one of the areas that yielded the most results. He was always more inclined towards the art due to his large chakra reserves. He mastered all of the elemental manipulation exercises for his elements. He has a handful of jutsu for both wind and water. He didn't want to learn too many, instead focusing on techniques that would prove more useful and versatile. He practiced them to the point of cutting down the hand-seals needed for then, even going so far as being able to use a few of them with one handed seals like his beloved Haku-chan could. He has more jutsu scroll that he can learn from, but for now he wants to perfect his current arsenal before moving onto those. He only has two jutsu for lightning, including one that he accidentally created, but that's a story for another time.
