The Fox Spirit and The God of Yin

Ch.6 He Can Come With Me

"Minato."

Naruto stared at the stranger that sat there. The blonde man contemplated questions to ask the boy. He only came up with one for now.

"What happened to the guards?"

He flinched. The question was simple enough, but for Naruto it was like asking for him to kill. He swallowed his pain and kept his straight face. If there's anything he hates, it's when people can read him. So he took a breathe in and gathered himself.

"They died."

There was no gasp, there was no whispers, but you can still see there shock. It wasn't long before he asked his second question.

"How?" He said with clear distraught. The blonde boy had talk with out stuttering a single word.

"I'm not sure they never told me. I think that they got badly wounded when they left with me. They died 40 years after. They were unable to move so, they both stayed in the one spot till there last breathes." He didn't look up to see there reactions or his. He was scared and ashamed to look them in thee eye. After what happened, he promised it would never happen again.

"Is that all you want to ask him?" The emperor asked with concern. The blonde man was glanced down at the boy, then back up at him.

"For now that is all." Naruto peered up for a moment at him, then quickly turned away.

'He must be someone important or related to me in some way. So why doesn't he tell me and why don't I know him!' 

The emperor looked at the poor boy.

"Do you have any questions?" Naruto looked up at the crowned man, not sure if he was talking to him. He pointed to him self, with a questioning look. The emperor nodded.

"Yes, you." He said more sternly. Naruto nervously smiled and rubbed the back of his head.

"Um, where am I?" The crowned man eyed him.

"Do you not know where you are?" Naruto has a blank expression and shook his head.

"No, not really. I was kinda kidnapped and unconscious the whole time." The emperor was astonished at the fact throughout the trail he didn't now where he was.

"You are in the heavens. You know, where gods, goddesses and animal spirits live." Naruto stood there for a few minutes piecing together the information that he received. Then it hit him like the lonelyness he felt in that forest.

"WAIT! That means that I am in like the actual heavens! So when the chair was moving on it's own it really was magic!? And the reason why everyone wasn't so so shocked when I kinda lost it wasn't because they've never seen powers before! It's because they have?! Wait, this means your like the jade emperor?!"

Everyone nodded, confirming his late asked questions. Naruto was- well....the only word to describe his state was, shooketh.

It seemed more questions were on the way. So the emperor decided that was enough. "Wait am I dea-?"

"Well! That's enough out of you." The crowned said as he clapped his hands. At the same time he used his powers to shut Naruto's mouth.

"From my conclusion. He is, in fact, as you all 'kindly' put it, the lost child." They room gasped again but one sat there staring at the blonde boy. The Jade emperor continued with his explanation.

"He is undeniably a fox spirit and posses powers resembling the Nine Tailed God and his wife. Not to mention the fact that he does look awfully similar to them. What more evidence could you need?"
