The True Gamer

Chapter 6- Meeting A Fox

"User Has awoken the nine tails from his idiotic action."

Seeing the message my blood instantly run cold. That's right. Thinking back to my status I recalled being a Jinchuriki. Another thing had been a hint to the word biju. The newest message however cleared my mind of all doubts as my memories of this world came to save the day telling me just what the Nine tails was. Thinking of how I would meet the fox who was mad at me I took a couple of seconds to finally think of a solution. I would just need to relearn meditation so that I could meet it. It was at this thought I finally put two and two together. I was most likely hated because of this being in me.

Setting down on the ground and starting to try and meditate I stayed on the ground moving occasionally for a couple of minutes before I felt my gamer power kick in and their was a change. After a moment I opened my eyes to see sewers surrounding me. Smiling for a second forcefully I felt out a particular feeling about this place that originated from the center of this world. The feeling was one of warning, yet it seemed to also be one that invited me in further and further.

"Congratulations Host For Entering Kurama's Sewers. This is a special Dungeon that can be shaped within the users mind. It is a special Mindscape that is separate from your Mindscape."

Thinking for a quick second I wondered if I could appear in front of where the fox was. With that thought I closed my eyes and opened them to be greeted with a foxes eyes staring into mine. Feeling the non-killing, killing intent, and yes I know how that sounds. I realized the fox didn't hate me. It was just that it hated it's situation of being forcefully trapped within this place. This emotional sensing hadn't been turned into a skill believe it or not. It was just a natural talent of mine that had stayed with me it appeared.

"Soooo, do I introduce myself to you, or do you already know about me," I asked feeling curious about how this would all go. The fox was, while obviously not evil, completely willing to hurt me. I mean just look at the situation, I was it's jailer, and the reason it couldn't have freedom. It took the fox a second to blink a couple of times before it sighed to itself. It obviously found the situation annoying. Waiting a second the fox nodded to itself before replying "I'm the Kyuubi Brat, or should I call you that? Frankly, I'm no longer sure whether to treat you as that brat Naruto or not. Though a pain the kid obviously wouldn't act like you. Well that and I can't access your memories now so I assume your not the kid I knew. Still I can also tell you know things only he would know, so tell me. Are you Naruto, and if not what are you?"

Thinking over the situation and how to answer I finally decided upon the best truthful explanation I could come up with. Especially considering the beast lived in me, it would quickly find out if I was lying "I am not allowed to say what I am (For my own safety), just know that a certain person left me in this situation (Gaia). On the question of whether I am Naruto or not, well you can consider him a part of me. I now have all his memories living on within me after all." The answer obviously made the fox curl his eyebrows if he had them. "I see so your souls have fused together have they. I haven't seen that happen in a long, long time."

Smiling I nodded in conformation "Indeed, I am a bit of a special case." Getting up I waved my hands in a goodbye motion showing I needed to leave. "Well I need to get out of here before the teachers get here, and I get into trouble with them." With that message I left a bewildered fox thinking to himself, but before I fully disappear I did hear one message from him in return "I find you interesting, if you ever need some chakra just give a call and I'll be there. Well on one condition. You tell me a bit about your other self. The non-Naruto side."

Now back out in the open the first thing I did was leave a gift for the fox. I imagined the surroundings of my secondary mindscape changing into a forest. In fact it was the one I had been in earlier, inside my previous life when I went on a journey to take down a nine tails monster inside one of my dungeons. Finishing up I opened my eyes to finally see the class start walking out the door. Immediately Iruka Walked up to me, and before I could say a thing a fist buried itself into my head knocking me into the ground face first.

Shaking my head a few times to get rid of the pain I took a stand once more. Looking around I noticed Iruka had already run away from my wrath which would have broke out for hitting me. I would need to prank him later I decided the memories of my new life becoming stronger and stronger. Walking over to the rest of the kids and getting in line I grabbed my Kunai and felt something was wrong with them. Looking closely I knew from the memories of the Kunai skill that this was not how a kunai should be balanced. Waiting to point it out at a better time I got called out of the line to go up and hit the targets. 

Looking over at Iruka I decided to voice my doubt "Hey Iruka-Sensei could you check out the Kunai and see if their messed up. The man obviously took it as a joke until he registered that I had said sensei. He had never heard Naruto ever call him sensei unless they were somewhere private or in the middle of an important subject. Taking the Kunai from my hands after he had walked over to me he checked there balance and could immediately tell these were thrown away Kunai of the Academy.

Thinking over who did it he knew one of the teachers had obviously sabotaged the boy. Wondering over what he could do he took out his pouch and handed them to me in place of the messed up weapons. Taking the rest of my Kunai out I also handed them over to be thrown away as well missing the look of anger that kept rising from the face of Iruka. Smiling he nodded for me to go ahead and show what I could do now that I had actually good quality Kunai.

With a flick of my wrist I nailed 4 out of 10 of the targets 2 better than my usual score. Going to do the same thing for the Shurikens I noticed they were used as well. Going up to Iruka once more I got a new bag of Shurikens to replace them in the same fashion I had done so with my kunai. This time Iruka was absolutely livid at whoever had done such a thing. Obviously it was an attempt to have the boy die in actual combat, or worse yet attack him when he was thought to be somewhat safe with his training and practice Kunai and Shuriken. After all even a sub par weapon compared to military standard ones could kill. My Practice weapons however were so dull they would most likely tear wounds open before they cut.

Taking the second test this time for the Shuriken my time I actually managed to hit 5 out of 10 targets. Obviously I had been lucky getting this score, well at least to others it looked like skill. Witnessing and discovering all these things in a row immediately surprised everyone. They weren't dumb. They knew that someone had sabotaged the blond and his learning in this area. Some of the kids after learning the truth decided to ridicule the kid a bit less. Of course it wouldn't stop though, their families hated the dirty fox after all, and the other kids, well they just gained ammunition to taunt the kid with. It was a fact after all that someone hated the kid enough to do such a thing. What's more, one of the teachers were on their side.

Smiling I went over to a tree and used Chakra leap making my way to the top of one of the sturdy branches. Taking a seat I started taking a few leaves off of the tree and practicing my chakra control before I went to fight in a bit. So with that thought I got busy with my work and blanked out ignoring the chattering down below.
