Chapter 026

(In Naruto's Subconscious)

Naruto was standing before Minato who was locked behind steel gates like Kyuubi a piece of paper that had word "Seal" inscribed on it in kanji place on the gates. The environment was a surprisingly a clean hallway with many pipes that connected gates that locked Minato away. Surprisingly it didn't look like a sewer like it does with regards to where Kyuubi is sealed.

"How did I loss consciousness?"

"Overexcitement about learning my trademark jutsus," Minato answered.

"Didn't know I was that excited," Naruto replied sheepishly while scratching the back of his head.

"Don't get any ideas Naruto," Minato spoke sternly, "The Hiraishin is a very power jutsu and is NOT to be used as one of your play things for any of your mischief!"

"You're no fun," Naruto snorted.

"For that," Minato decreed, "I'll teach you the Hiraishin at my discretion since I'm the only one who knows the secret of how to create those tri-tipped kunais and formula seals needed for that jutsu."

"Be that as it may father," Naruto shot back, "I'll learn it from you eventually since I'll be absorbing your knowledge away. I'll be a force to be reckoned with throughout the Elemental Shinobi nations and all other nations everywhere! I'll become the Rokudaime Hokage known as Konoha's Yellow Flash Prankster!"

Naruto started visualizing himself as a Hokage pulling huge pranks on everyone at lightning speed much to Minato's displeasure as he banged his head against the bars of his prison a few times in frustration and aggravation.

"Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee," entered a new and monstrous voice, "That kit will make a mockery out of you yet Minato-baka."

"I don't recall inviting you into this conversation," Naruto interjected. Naruto would occasionally hear Kyuubi speak to both him and Minato, mostly to insult, ridicule and get on their nerves.

"Like I give a damn," Kyuubi retorted, "I have no one else to harass but you two idiots! You can thank your idiot father for that!"

"And while we're on the topic Kyuubi," Naruto said, "Since you're living in my body, you owe me rent!"

"WHAT?!"

"I've been giving it a lot of thought for the pass few weeks," Naruto continued, "My father spoke with me about the limited amount of chakra I possess, even with his own chakra feeding my reserves. And from what I've learned, you're the only tailed mystical beast that's said to have unlimited chakra. So as rent payment, I'll take your chakra!"

"You insolent little mortal! How dare you!"

"You're bound to me through the Servitude Seal, Kyuubi like it or not! Either you learn to co-exist with my father and me or die alongside us should anything to me!"

"You have a lot of nerves threatening me like this kit! You surprise me!"

(Meanwhile)

Jiraiya just stood just as he looked at Naruto funny. Naruto's facial expression was changing from happy to annoyance to frustration to anger to triumphant and so on. The Sannin figured that Naruto must be talking or arguing with his 'tenants' and from the looks of it, Naruto got the upper hand in the end.

(Six Days Later)

Naruto was by himself at the training ground he and Jiraiya would normally train at. He was practicing jutsus Jiraiya was teaching him; these jutsus being Rasengan and Shunshin No Jutsu. Yondaime however held back from teaching Naruto the Hiraishin No Jutsu until a later time; he didn't feel Naruto was ready for that S-rank jutsu just yet. Thus far Naruto had problems making the Rasengan and failed multiple times in creating a perfect one. He suffered severe chakra burns as a result of his repeated failures and had to resort to healing his hands before calling it quits until later. His use of the Shunshin No Jutsu had improved better than him creating the Rasengan. However Naruto was seeking to perfect his Rasengan and the fact that he didn't get it quite right yet angered him.

In his frustration, Naruto thrust and punched his right fist into a nearby tree, effectively uprooting and collapsing the tree with some wood chunks spreading over the ground.

Take a break Naruto,' Minato advised, 'You'll burn yourself out from chakra exhaustion. Besides, you still don't know how to control Kyuubi's chakra perfectly either, and if you're not careful Kyuubi's chakra will send your chakra control straight to hell.'

I don't see you doing any better in helping me in that department, Naruto retorted.

What was that!?,' Minato replied indignantly, 'If I weren't stuck here inside you, I'd have smacked you across your head for that remark.'

Having your voice in my head is punishment enough as it is, Naruto countered.

Shut up! The both of you," Kyuubi spoke up.

My mistake, Naruto thought, Kyuubi's voice in my head is far worst.

"Impertinent human," Kyuubi roared, "I am the great Kyuubi no Yoko, the strongest and most fearsome of the tailed beasts!"

I'll do well to remember that…fearsome servant, Naruto remarked in mocking sarcasm before hearing Kyuubi roared angrily while thrashing himself against his cage.

"Damn you Naruto and your bastard father for sealing both us into you," cursed Kyuubi, "If I had my way, I'd devour both you and your father and feast upon your marrow!"

Idle talk! Don't waste my time, Naruto stated before cutting off his mental connection with Kyuubi and Minato. Naruto went over to a shaded tree where his backpack was at and sat down underneath it, appreciating the shade it provided. While doing this, he opened his backpack and took out some food Shizune made for him, which was some rice balls and fried fish. After eating his food, he started playing the one of his kunais he bought from Tenten's (age 12) folks' weapon shop.
