When Naruto changes back to himself, Tsunami claps for the performance and even the clones join in. The next morning, Kakashi-sensei rotates their assignments again as it seems Sasuke finally learned tree-walking. He certainly did it faster but Naruto didn't care about that.
KURAMA
Kurama was irate, displeased, frustrated, and anxious. After establishing a connection through the seal to communicate with his container, the puny blond no bigger than his nail runs up to the damn gate. The sight of his grin annoyed Kurama further, forcing the great chakra beast to pace to alleviate his aggravation.
In the dark dankness of his seal, Naruto noted, "it's pretty rare for you to call me down. What's up?"
Kurama used to live for the land gifted to him by his father; the peace and tranquility his father's land provided him. Even now it aches to think of that loss. Kurama did not want to be sealed, however, he did not want to be controlled even more. The loss of his father, then siblings, and then even his land to then be controlled and hated by so many, the only source of comfort, of peace in all this is the few moments his brat container has with his mate. And now he's been cut off. Pacing angrily within the large cavern beyond the gold prison bars, Kurama demands to know, "why has it been so long?"
Naruto tilts his head confused, angering the chakra beast further. To Naruto, they've only had a handful of conversations since they first exchanged names and the Kyūbi has been surly in every one. Their conversations don't even feature much more than Naruto's pathetic development in tapping into his chakra. Naru-nii confirmed there are several transformations that happen depending on the amount of Kyūbi chakra he takes in, but he hasn't been able to reach the first transformation yet. Though that has more to do with time constraints then ability—his team, Kurenai, and Naru-nii's training take up most of his waking hours.
With squinted eyes, Naruto asks the bristling Kyūbi, "why is 'what' taking so long?"
"YOu…" Kurama cuts himself off, angrily grumbling as he moves to the gate and settles comfortably on his front paws to closer inspect the blond. "I thought you were a human of your word."
"What?" Naruto snaps, growing more confused. "I am!"
"Than why haven't you mated," Kurama surly asks. Seeing the shocked confusion on his face, Kurama raises himself to look down on the puny brat. "You said you reached a deal with your mate that guaranteed carnal satisfaction. I'm so disgusted with myself for believing you, a human!"
"Wha- Ne, Kurama," Naruto sputters, completely thrown off by this weird topic of conversation. "You know I'm on mission, right?"
"And?" Kurama retorts. "I'm the strongest of the tailed beasts! I shouldn't have to wait to feel something other than this dark abyss!"
"Well, I mean," Naruto tries, unsure how to respond. "There's not really much I can do until I get back. Trust me, after the week I've been having, I want to get back as much as you do!"
"As the container of the greatest tailed-beasts, I demand you mate with your teammate!"
"What?" a shocked Naruto hollers, though he blushes profusely, nearly making Kurama laugh. "I can't just sleep with Sakura-chan!"
"Have you asked her," Kurama returns smugly.
Pulling up short, Naruto mumbles, "well, no, but- BUT I don't need to ask her, you big dummy! She doesn't even love me!"
"That explains nothing," Kurama shrugs off. "Why should I deem you worthy of my chakra when you're unable to even mate regularly?"
"Hey now," Naruto tries to reason with the oddly bratty Nine-Tails. "Come on, cut me some slack, will ya? It's pretty amazing that I even have Nai-chan training me-"
"More!" Kurama interjects. Naruto looks confused and exhausted as Kurama adds, "you must gain more power to attract more mates. You will continue training with my chakra and when you are as great as I, you will acquire more mates."
"You remember we're supposed to be stopping that masked dude from taking all the Bijuu right? Your brothers and sisters?"
"An impossible task since you can't even handle the strength of a single one of my tails!" Kurama verbally jabs and Naruto's shoulders sag. "You must train harder. It's clear to me, the more power and attention you receive, the easier it will be to attain willing mates."
"…I guess," Naruto questions. "But I'm kinda hoping to marry just one, so how about I just have a lot of sex with one. I mean it's not like you can tell who I'm having sex with, so why would I need multiple women?"
"…I suppose that would also work," Kurama agrees. "That will be your price, brat. For my continued support against Madara's plans, you will acquire a life-long mate designated for frequent copulation… or multiple mates. As long as you don't lose to the other Jinchūriki, I don't care which."
Naruto throws his head back rolling his eyes before he says, "how about we just keep training on using more of your chakra without losing my mind and we'll worry about who I have sex with later?"
"More, brat," Kurama reminds him with hard eyes and growl. "Moooooorrreee."
With a deep exhale of air, Naruto nods, "I got it, I got it. I know it's not fun here and I really want us to be like Naru-nii and future-Kurama, so for the both of us, I'll definitely try. We're teammates after all."
Kurama says nothing as Naruto leaves, unsure of how to react to the brat's assertions. Truly, he's is different than his previous wardens… different than many humans, however, that shouldn't matter. 'It doesn't,' Kurama stubbornly thinks as he lays down for a nap.
