The Path of a Shinobi (Reader x various)

Four Tails

Three of the Tailed Beast were now in their Tailed Beast State.

The Four Tails grabbed ahold of the Eight Tails and swung him away while Naruto and I fell off and were falling towards the Four Tail's mouth.

"Oh hell no!" I cried out as I used two chakra arm to hold onto the corner of its mouth and stop myself from falling in first.

"Phew," I sighed out in relief, but that moment was short lived once Naruto fell on top of me and made me lose my grip.

"Naruto!"

I fell in first but Naruto grabbed ahold of my ankle while he used the other hand to lift the monkey's teeth before it closed down on him.

The only thing I could stare at was the dark bottomless pit that was beyond its throat although my Chakra mode served as some lighting in here.

"My hands are slipping," said Naruto through gritted teeth and in that moment, he used his strength to push away its teeth, but he lost his balance and ultimately fell in with me.

~Mini Timeskip~

I opened my eyes and found myself lying in a pool of water and the place was dimly lit in a blue color. I lifted myself up and watched as Naruto had lifted himself up as well seeming to have woken up from the fall.

"Are you two here to take my power too? Coming in all the way in here...you obnoxious brats!" Snarled the Four Tails who was bound by purple chakra chains around its neck and wrists.

"No, you've got it all wrong," I spoke up as I waved my hands in front of me.

"Y-You're the Four Tails!" Exclaimed Naruto.

"Don't call me Four Tails! I have a proper name. I am the handsome monkey king of Suirendo, the King of Sage Monkeys bestowed with the priestly title "Son" from the Sage of the Six Paths. The Great Monkey Son Goku!"

"Um...which one was your name?" Asked Naruto with confusion written all over his face and I sighed and smacked the side of his arm.

"It's-"

"Son Goku. You humans are all stupid! You can't even get a name straight! You are all lesser than apes. I don't want to give my power to the likes of such-"

"Where are we anyways?" Whispered Naruto near my ear interrupting the Four Tails which caught his attention since he then raised his voice at us.

"Are you two even listening?!"

"Ah, sorry!" Quickly said Naruto which surprised the monkey.

"We're not here for your power. Why take yours when we have our own tailed beast," I loudly said as I crossed my arms over my chest.

The monkey quietly eyed us with a judgmental look in his eyes. He didn't seem too keen with me, but thought differently of Naruto once his eyes landed on him.

"You're...pretty genuine for a human. It's the first time I've heard someone apologize to a Tailed Beast. And I can now see that you two have one inside of you, that's how you got in. Kurama and Akako have trained their Jinchuriki well."

"Who?" I questioned.

"How can you be the Nine and Eleven Tails' Jinchuriki and not even know their real name?! That's why humans disgust me!"

"Because we don't get along well with them..." I trailed off which seemed to have angered Son Goku.

"All you humans ever need us for is our power. You didn't try to get to know our name."

"So...the Nine Tail's real name is Kurama?" Asked Naruto and the Four Tails nodded his head.

"I see!" Naruto had a smile on his face after knowing that.

"Although I can tell someone here isn't happy to hear his name." Son Goku's eyes darted towards me and I jumped in surprise.

"Me?" I asked as I pointed a finger at myself. There was no reason for me to feel upset upon hearing the name Kurama.

"Not you. The one inside you. I bet she's snarling at me right now," he mused.

"Need that mouth to be chained as well?" Threatened the Eleven Tails from inside me and the Nine Tails spoke up.

"Should I silence you as well by doing the same to you?"

"Try me you traitor," snapped Akako and I soon felt uneasy as I glanced at Naruto who shrugged his shoulders in uncertainty as to what was going on between those two.

I wasn't going to idly stand here as these two bickered at each other.

I'm going to find out what happened.

I zoned out Son Goku and inhaled a large deep breath before I closed my eyes.

'Hey Eleven Tai-I mean Akako...'

'What?' She questioned and I immediately found myself in my subconscious staring up at her while she calmly gazed at me.

"What happened between you and Kurama?"
