Chapter 65 - 65. Smart Fox

"It's so good to be flying again, Shiro. This is so much fun... Oh! Who is that?" Chomei joyfully chirped and flew around the sky. They were headed home.

"Meet Shisui Uchiha, Shisui this is Chomei." Shaken introduced them. ​​

Chomei gasped, "Wa... Uchiha? Aren't they bad people?"

"Some are, but this one does not have eyes." Shiroken clarified.

By now, it was most likely that all Tailed Beasts knew about the danger of the Sharingan, so they all most likely hate the Uchiha clan as much as the Senju clan.

"The world has changed so much, I remember there were not this many small villages before," Chomei commented. They were taking the route that would lead them through Fire Country, Rivers Country and then the sea.

"Yes, but the ninjas are still as they were before. Greedy selfish and short-sighted." Shiroken said.

"Hehe, won't Shisui feel bad?" Chomei asked.

Tenken laughed and joked, "He'd only feel bad if he also falls in the same category."

This made Shisui unable to say anything. But he did speak, "The Shinobi fight to survive."

Shiroken instantly sneered, "Wrong, don't lie to yourself, boy. Normal humans without chakra also live in small villages. They never needed to wage wars and kill people now, did they? Then why just the shinobi?"

Shisui didn't have an answer for this. His belief in his village and ninja way was wavering with every passing day already.

"Shiro, how far is our new home?" Chomei asked.

"Umm... Just fly for 20 more minutes in the same direction." He instructed.

Chomei cheered, "If that's the case, I will fly faster and reach in 10 minutes."

...

True to his words, they reached Dama country, but on the way, Chomei got too tired and had to land to rest.

"I told you to go slow," Shiroken scolded him.

"But...ha... Flying is so fun." Chomei replied.

"Yes, yes... Let's return now. I will head to Sunagakure next. I'm worried about Shukaku. He's been locked the longest of you, and he doesn't even know what happened to us." Shiroken worriedly muttered.

"Don't worry. He's probably grumpy and crazy as always. But you should find him fast, or he might do something very bad that might spoil our name." Chomei advised him.

Agreeing to it, they continued on their way. Shiroken explained everything to Chomei.

"That big clean road you see is called the Bijuuway. It is the biggest road in the country that leads to the north and south corners of the country. It is like the lifeline of the people.

"Tea is very famous here, but because of me, dumplings have also become quite famous. You should try it, it will take you a year to test all the flavours." He explained, exciting the huge beetle.

Chomei was very happy that now he wouldn't be bound by a small village and would have a whole country to fly around.

"And I will become your Jinchuriki so that you will always be safe and free," Shiroken added and explained the thing about the seal.

...

People were busy at their work in Dama city. Surprisingly, everyone was wearing women's clothes, mainly men. Women were wearing men's clothing. Shiroken didn't take too long to bring Chomei back so the bet was still valid as it was supposed to last for a week.

The economy was booming and people were rich. Children studied at schools and played on the grounds. Parks were made for recreational purposes, so people can relax. They were full of lovers, sitting close-by holding hands. Some bold ones were already tasting each other. There were all kinds of groups, Normal human couples, Nidama clan couples, Nidama-Uzumaki inter-relation couples. There was no restriction.

Saiken was at his farm, he had the idea of setting up a chicken farm next, because when he made the cake last time he had to buy a lot of eggs. Now, he had decided to create a huge chicken shed, with an automated egg collecting system. He was using all his big brain, and of course, Monari helped him.

Isobu was having a blast at the sea, he loved swimming and catching fish. The fact he could contribute to the country made him feel proud of himself and feel worthy.

*WOOSH*

All of a sudden a giant shadow flew over the whole city. All the people, children, lovers, Saiken and Isobu noticed it. They looked up and saw the third great saint beast, Chomei. People immediately recognised him because of plushie toys and posters.

Saiken and Isobu left their work and headed to meet their brother.

...

Chomei landed straight in the courtyard of the Daimyo Palace. Jin came out running, and along with him was his son, Shirajin, in his arms.

It seems Chomei's old habit of making random songs had not gone away. So he sang his happy return song,

♫Yooo... Here comes the Lucky Seven Chomei.

Yeah, this is your favourite homie.♫

♫I'm gonna take you out to fly, and tickle you until I make you cry.♫

♫We are the Dama clan and they call us a calamity.♫

But in reality, we're just a good, happy little family.♫

♫I am back, rest will come soon.

And then we will go on a family trip to MOON!

Yooo... Yo... Chomei is BACK!"♫

Monari also arrived soon after and hugged him. "Welcome home, Chomei, and when did you learn to sing so well?"

Chomei embarrassingly giggled, "Hehe, I and Fu used to practice and pass our time."

"CHOMEI!" Saiken and Isobu's loud voices also rang. They could not enter the building as walls were obstructing them.

"Sai-chan... Isobu-chan..." Chomei interjected. He flew to them and hugged his brothers.

The three stood together, their arms holding each other. Saiken happily spoke, "3 down, 6 more to go."

Shiroken nodded and planned for his next target. "That is why I am immediately leaving for Wind Country. Next, we will bring Shukaku home. And this time there will be a fight for sure. Their Kazekage is too proud of himself and will not yield. Prepare a 500 caravan long convoy, filled with grains and supplies that the desert nation would be hungry for. I will bribe the people of the country to throw away their current rulers."

Jin however had some new intel for him. "I think it will be very easy for you to take over Wind Country. Their Daimyo and Sunagakure don't have a very good relation lately, because the Daimyo is recently seen giving all contracts to Konoha since they are cheaper and of better quality. This has made Sunagakure angry with the administration, so far so that they have even recalled their own shinobi protection sent for him."

Shiroken silently plotted a plan, "Hmm, so this means the Daimyo is unguarded. This is the best time to take over the country. However, if I want Sunagakure to submit, I will need to use food as leverage. But not directly, instead, it will be through the Daimyo's office. Prepare for my departure."

...

It was a new day in Konoha, everyone had woken up. But, the door of Naruto's home was still shut.

Today, he was supposed to go and meet Jiraiya for training for the Chunin exams. But Jiraiya was only left waiting.

It was not that Naruto had run away, it was just that he could not wake up, because he was stuck in his mind, in front of a mighty angry fox.

Last night, when Naruto fell asleep, his mind unknowingly got into the seal. He could not open the seal, but he could always see inside. Today was the first time for him.

"Ha? Are you the demon fox?" Naruto stood in front of the large steel gate to ask him.

All of a sudden, a big red eye opened from the other side of the gate. "AAAAA..." *BAM*

Out of nowhere, two big jaws tried to eat the gate in anger and rage. "HUMANS! YOU SCUMS! I WILL KILL YOU ALL!"

Naruto was frightened. He stepped back, but asked, "Please, talk to me. I do not want to hurt you."

"HAHAHA... You? Little pathetic lowlife hurt me? I am immortal, food." The fox raged in anger and growled.

Naruto's face fell and he dejectedly inquired, "Did you... kill my parents? Who were they?"

Silence ensued. The fox for some reason calmed down and stared at Naruto with a sneering face. "That's why you came here? Selfish as always. Yes, I killed them. See this claw here, I pierced it right through their chests. It was an amazing feeling, destroying their flesh as they cried for you."

"NO! I DON'T WANNA HEAR MORE!" Naruto stumbled back, the shock of his parent's death's description was too much. He was an emotional boy from the start, and this was not what he wanted to hear about his parents.

"Haha... They didn't even tell you about your parent's names? Just lowly humans, what else can you expect? They call you a monster, don't they? Why don't you become one then? Destroy the village. Kill everyone, as they are responsible for not saving your parents. I was just a pawn, controlled by the damned Uchiha. But they were free, yet no one came to save your parents.

"Teach them a lesson, boy. KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL!" The fox started enticing him into his dark twisted plans.

Naruto cried, "But... I am WEAK!"

The fox laughed, "Hahaha... then come, just tear this seal apart. I shall give you my entire power. You can destroy the world, forget the village. No one shall be stronger than you, ever. This is your chance... Take it... AVENGE YOUR PARENTS! AVENGE THEM!

"AVENGE THEM!"

"AVENGE THEM?" Naruto also started repeating and slowly took steps forward to the cage.

"AVENGE THEM?"

"I WILL AVENGE THEM!"

The fox happily smiled from inside the cage. Anticipating the moment the boy will take the first step inside.
