Chapter 22: CH 22
But that was not important either, he was now a Konoha ninja, no longer in Ne. He answered to another higher-up and belonged to their forces now.
Naruto groaned as he sat up in a meditative position. The last thought he had before slipping into his own mind was that he was still a weapon, he had just been lost and collected by another. XxX
Naruto opened his eyes to reveal himself standing at the door of his own apartment. Naruto sighed, "Well it's better than a sewer I guess..." He opened the door and walked through his mindscape/apartment to find a dog-sized fox with nine-tails and a collar asleep on what was supposed to be his bed, obviously the Kyuubi.
The Kyuubi's ears twitched as he drew closer and it sat its head up to let out a vulpine yawn, "Hello kit. I have to say, it's a major improvement over the sewer."
Naruto sat on the bed next to the fox and looked over at the awakening biju, "I can see you're enjoying it. It's still not as cool as it used to be though. If I want to see my own apartment then I sure as hell wouldn't come in here."
The fox growled in comfort as Naruto shook his head with a faint smirk, "So is my mind good enough to broker out the old deal again or what?"
Kyuubi cracked open an eye and stood to walk over to Naruto, "Well since I can make physical contact with you again we can do this right now. Anything you want to add? Anything you didn't like? You want to get rid of the trigger?"
Naruto raised his eyebrow, "No I liked the trigger. Hell no, we're keeping that, that was always cool. Keep that, also you can still see and feel everything I do, you can talk to me, but I can still mute you-."
"Spoilsport..." Kyuubi butted Naruto with its muzzle. Naruto kept reeling off deals, "I get to retrain using your chakra, and I have to get ridiculously strong again, per the first agreement. I still have to kick the guy that helped the Yondaime come up with the seal that imprisoned you in me in the balls, and I think I'll enjoy doing that more than you will. Am I forgetting anything?"
