Yeah I know it took a while to get this out, but this chapter is split into to parts, the first part is about Kurama's past, which I admit to saying now, could've been more detailed but I just couldn't think of it all. The second part is to check up on Konoha! Now...

I don't own Naruto or anything else shown!

Part 1, Mini Arc: Kurama's Past!

Naruto blinked as the tailed beast in his mind slowly vanish and the forest that was his mindscape shifted into a different looking forest.

'Where am I...?' The blond thought as he looked around.

"Hey Kurama!" A voice rang out from behind him, in which Naruto turned around without thinking, to see a young boy with long red hair, a large scroll on his back, and the Uzumaki clan symbol tattooed on both his arms.

"Yeah, what is it, Roku-chan?" Naruto felt his mouth move and yet Kurama's voice came out. It was like he wasn't in control...

"Stop calling me -chan!" The boy blushed before speaking again, "Tou-san sent me to get you."

"Ashura Huh..." Naruto can feel the fondness Kurama has for this 'Ashura' as he spoke, "let's go then, Roku-chan"

Naruto felt himself smirking as Roku complained the whole way to a small village that had both the Senju and Uzumaki clan symbols printed on almost everything. The blond turned fox couldn't help but let the smirk stay as he looked around his ancestor's home.

"Kurama-nii! I see Roku found you!"

Naruto felt himself turn to look at a man with brown hair and black eyes, a white cloak on him as a shirt, "Ashura... yeah, the kit did... what do you need now little brother..."

Ashura smiles up at the fox, "just wanted to let you know that Little Shun misses you."

That made the Naruto-Fox laugh, "Shun Senju, your first born son, not to mention already a young man by you human's concept of aging, misses me?" Naruto felt his tails wag as he laughed, "he does remember I live in the forest not far from here right?"

"Yeah," Ashura laughed out, smirking a smirk that would make any Uzumaki proud, "but you know how he is, shy as usual!"

Mentally, Naruto couldn't help but smile at his ansestor's actions, feeling a sense of familiar from the man, as if he knew him his whole life.

The world began to gray but sped up, forcing memories into the Blond-turned-Fox.

War, hatred, loss, compassion, and death flooded the teen's mind.

The forcefulness of memories stopped and Naruto found himself on a battlefield, the corpses of brown, read heads and raven hairs staining the war zone.

"Why brother!?" Naruto heard Ashura's voice roar out in pain, "why are you doing this!?"

"Why...?" Naruto felt the owner of this voice jump onto his fox like head before shouting again, "Why!? Father chose you over me to become the next leader! I should have been the leader, not you!"

Naruto couldn't help but to take notice as both Ashura and the unnamed brother's chakra felt so much like himself and Sasuke but he didn't have time to ponder over it as the unnamed brother began to shout once more.

"Now dear little brother, allow my eyes to show you why you are weak and unfit to lead, it takes power to lead! Not your so called compassion! Kyuubi! Destroy him!"

The blond-turned-Fox felt his mouth open and his chakra forming a large black ball slowly.

"Indra..." Naruto heard Ashura called the unnamed man, "I promise... I'll show you that power isn't everything for being a leader!"

Ashura then jumps and tackles his brother off Naruto-Kurama's head, Naruto felt his attack almost finished charging.

"Fool! You'll kill us both!" Ashura kept holding Indra down, "I swear that I won't rest until I take over this world!"

"Then I swear I'll keep coming back to show you leadership by fear is not the way to go!"

Naruto felt his Fox mouth close on the black ball of pure chakra before opening up again, the ball of chakra expanding and launched to the two brothers, killing them instantly.

The world grayed again and sped up once more, showing Shun Senju and Roku Uzumaki, the sons of Ashura continuing the war his father had with Indra's army.

He also saw Kurama give the Uzumaki clan both the Tailed beast summons scroll and the Fox clan summons scroll as a sign of trust for keeping the son of Indra, Yosuke Uchiha, from capturing him during the war.

As years was flooded in his mind, he saw Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha had stopped the war and made the village he calls home, making peace between the clans.

Unfortunately, the two began to fight, with Madara controlling Kurama once again.

A red haired woman, who he remembers from the history books as Hashirama's wife, Mito Uzumaki, looked up at the controlled blond turned fox and began a sealing jutsu, "Seal of Saving, Seal!"

Back in Naruto's mindscape

Naruto opened his eyes to find himself back in his forest like mindscape before looking over at Kurama, "that was..."

"Yeah Kit... I know..."

Part 2, Mini-Arc: Catching up on Konoha

In Konoha, a week after Takeru appeared in the Hokage's Office with a message from the blond Shinobi, Sasuke Uchiha went up to Naruto's kitchen and grabbed a tomato to eat while he and Kakashi watched Sakura cook breakfast. Ever since Naruto was sucked into the real world, Sakura had taken his role as Team Seven's cook during breakfast.

"Sasuke-kun..." Sakura said monotonely, "anything you want for breakfast?"

Naruto's vanishing made a big affect on the other members of Team Seven, both for the better and worse.

For Sakura, Naruto's disappearance made her take training seriously and she even stopped her dieting. But in exchange, she started to shut herself off from others.

For Sasuke, the only thing that has really changed about him was he tied an orange bandana around his left arm(1) and he had got himself interested into swords. Although he had also started training less which for some, they thought it was good for the Uchiha as he was always training in order to get revenge on his brother.

The biggest surprising change was with Kakashi as he stopped reading his perverted books as much and started to show up on time to team meetings and official reports!

"Just some orange slices, a boiled egg and this tomato is enough," the Uchiha replied before he started to slice a orange with a kunai.

Kakashi had noticed the changes in his two students and it pained him to watch the once happy pinkette shut herself in and the emo avenger not worry about training.

"Sasuke, Sakura... this is part of being a ninja..." the copy cat ninja spoke, "right now, you two are lucky Naruto is still alive. Death of an ally is one of the few things you need to be prepared for in our line of work..."

Kakashi sighs as he noticed the two genin flinch at the Blond's name, "I wasn't as lucky back when I was on my genin team..."

The pinkette and raven look over at their scarecrow sensei, with Sakura being the one to voice their confusion, "what do you mean, Sensei?"

Sighing, the masked jonin looked at his students, tears forming in his sole eye, "after I became a chunin... I led my team on a mission during the Third Great Ninja War and got my best friend killed..."

Kakashi then lifted his headband and shown them his Sharingan eye, opening that eye slowly so he wouldn't blind the eye from sudden light, "his dieing gift to me was his eye..."

Elsewhere in the Elemental Nations, Land of Mist

"WHAT!?" Zabuza roared in rage as he read the letter that an Leaf ANBU messager brought him. After training his nephew in swordplay and silent killing, Zabuza and Haku went to the mist to help the rebellion against the tyrant of the Mist.

The Demon of the Mist grabbed the Leaf ANBU messager by the collar and held him close to his face, his eyes glowing a rageful red that would make any ANBU experience at least a little fear, "tell me this is a fucking joke!"

The ANBU looked at Zabuza thru his mask straight in the eyes and calmly replies, "I am only the Hokage's personal messager, Hokage-sama ordered me just to bring this to you, I was not given any knowledge of the contents inside."

Zabuza muttered a curse before letting go of the ANBU and looking towards Haku and the Rebel leader, Mei Terumi, "Mei, I'm going to the Leaf."

The redheaded rebel leader nods before walking over to the swordsmen and gave him a soft kiss on the lips thru Zabuza's wrappings, "be careful, my handsome Mist Devil."

The Demon of the Mist smirks before picking up his trademark sword and hooking it onto his back, "of course my Lava Light..."

He then looked at Haku, "let's go," and received a nodded from the female Yuki bloodline user before they both left the campsite.

As the two left the camp, Ao, Mei's second in command walked up to her, "Leader, we have an engagement presently with our forces, we have to go to the meeting now or we will miss the appointment."

"Engagement... Appointment..." the rebel leader muttered depressedly before smiling in a creepy way and looked at her second in command, "Ao..."

"U-uh... Yes, Leader?"

"Shut up or I'll kill you."

In Konoha, A week later

"Sir, you cant go in there!"

Sarutobi looked up from his desk after hearing his secretary shout, already getting a bad feeling.

"I don't fucking give a damn what you have to say!" The elder Kage heard a second voice shout back, the owner of the voice clearly in rage, "I need some fucking answers that your child abusing village's Kage has, and I don't care who I have to slice up to get to that Basturd!"

Sarutobi groans before signaling his ANBU to fetch the man screaming without provoking him. If his hunch is correct, then the voice would be Naruto's Uncle, and if all Uzumaki's were like Kushina and Naruto, then the old Hokage would be having to need a smoke when he finishes talking with Zabuza.

Seconds later, the ANBU returned with Zabuza and Haku, the former being in a state so menacing some of his highly trained ANBU were slightly shaking in fear, "WHAT IN THE FUCKING HELL DO YOU MEAN THAT MY NEPHEW IS NOT IN OUR FUCKING WORLD RIGHT NOW!?"

The elder Sarutobi sighs before lighting his pipe, already needing a smoke, 'I knew I'd have more paperwork due to this... I'm getting to old for this shit...'

FINALLY!!!!!! My writer's block is gone for this story! This is what happens when you try to branch away from the main story for a chapter! Hopefully the remaining arc won't take two or more months to finish!

Now to point out something!

(1) this scene was referencing Zoro from One Piece as Zoro worn a bandana on his arm when not in battle. To keep in mind, when Naruto returns to the village, Sasuke will stop wearing that bandana since the orange Ninja will be back

Next chapter will be back on the main story!

Ja Ne!
