Chapter 2 : Cell mate

He was huge. He was powerful and crazy with anger. But he was also bored and not stupid. He was a nine-tailed fox demon, and I could only exist. Everything else was now beyond my capabilities. I stood in front of the Kurama the nine tailed demon in a cage that locked him up in some strange, wet night landscape. The monstrous roar of the beast sent me to the wall of the cage. I hit hard on the narrow metal rods of the spiritual prison. Seeing it, the fox braked a little bit.

"Who you are and what you are doing here. It sounded loud and carrying with it a real threatening voice of the demon.

I didn't know what to say to him. I wasn't quite sure myself, but when his head approached dangerously close I fell on my knees and tried to keep at least a travesty of dignity to beg for life with this monster. I told him the truth and my suspicions about the fact that I got some internal damage and killed in my friend's apartment.

This really surprised him. He did not suspect an excuse as abstract as this. Thanks to incredible truth, which couldn't be denied, I managed to save my life, what's more, arouse curiosity in this old fox. So in exchange for the right to life I told him various stories from my previous world, colourfully seasoning him with fiction taken from culture and art.

If two people, no matter what race, spend in isolation only in their own company, there is no way that they wouldn't create a deep bond. It doesn't matter whether it's friendly or pure hatred. This kind of relationship is more complicated and complex than an ordinary relationship. In my case, there was a distant friend from the cell who was my mentor. Kuram got bribed to become a private teacher in exchange for leading him through some RPG sessions. At least that's what he said, but the years in the same cell are getting closer.

Maybe thanks to a chosen skill, maybe thanks to my innate genius, as I wanted to believe, I managed to assimilate a lot of knowledge possessed by the demon, but everything was limited to manipulating the chakra, extracting the chakra characteristic for the fight and the fox race from the natural energy that is in everything that surrounds us. Of course, firstly I needed to learn how to sense it. But I had plenty of time and nothing better to do.

After a while, my fellow inmate felt the need to express himself and share his story. I listened diligently and didn't let myself know that I knew a part of his story. Earlier I decided not to reveal some elements of my past, including the fact that in my ex-world there was a record of past and present history of this world in the form of a manga and an animated series.

Unfortunately, the fox has always had a very limited range of interests. He could talk for days about his games with his siblings, the teachings of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, from which he did not get much. He loved to remember how wonderful his great temple was, which was built by his followers at Hagoromo's request.His extremely powerful memories sometimes managed to materialise into picturesque mirages. Although Kurama himself did not have any special skills different from other tails, his connection to the fox clan gave him a few skills, such as a paralyzing gaze and a remarkable movement technique that gave the impression that the fox was flowing with the wind.

The Kurama was sent on a similar mission by Hagoromo as his biological children. His mission was to end the fox clans' fights that were troubling the lands. Although he solved it with brutal force and fire, the individuals who survived the lesson of the mighty beast made peace. Moreover, all of them united under one banner and took my companion as a godsend guardian . The Very glad Kuram decided to help them claim their land in the Land of Summoning for their country as a reward. At that time, the tribe rejoiced in having the largest landscapes in its history, as my fox friend stopped only when he reached the clan's borders with the rest of its brothers and sisters from all sides. I had hoped to gain access to the technique of summoning the fox clan, but Kuramie never needed it, so he had no way to teach me. Later I wondered if it would be possible to summon anybody at all, and if it was possible, if the summoned creature appeared next to or inside Naruto.

When I finally managed to obtain the chakra from the surrounding us, basically Naruto, the natural energy in my astral body started to change. Earlier I regretted that I had no cloning technique like Naruto at my disposal to multiply my efforts. But when I realized that I didn't have a body that could turn into stone, I started to absorb energy like in a huge starvation. My crazy drinking of the chakra from the environment ended when I changed my color.

So far, my beige form of spirit has become orange in color and sharpened as I cultivate the power of fox sage. When I stopped anxious and did a deeper check, I discovered more surprises. As I learned to control and manipulate the chakra, I acquired the ability to change my spiritual form. At first it was just a form of a burning sphere like an ancient wisp, then I was modifying my basic form by adding wings, tail, extra limbs or tentacles. Just after the orange color was acquired, my ethereal body took on foxy shapes. I suspected that with such a look I would win most of the cosplay competitions. However, my man's pride after some time said that it was time to change it, especially after a biting comment about my appearance made by a colleague from the cage. Soon I got access to a new form, the fox. During my rehearsals I noticed that the more fire and wind chakras I have in me, the more my ethereal form escapes from human to fox. I don't mention the situation where I have a significant supply of fox chakras, as I called the energy taken from nature using fox sage technique, which my teacher put into my head.

When I grew up a little and could sit comfortably on the paw of that lazy fox, which made me very happy, because so far I could only lay on his claws, our entertainment gained a new position. In other words, using all my skills, I had to get my master's materialized item, get the other side of the cage or literally bite him in the ear. In this way we played fox and man, where unfortunately I didn't have any hole to hide, it resembled a more giant cat than a chasing intrusive worm-tarzan, who swings with his tentacles on giant paws that wanted to crush him into a pulp.

In such conditions I had to live for a decade of my stay in the new world. How great was our joy when one day the walls of our prison began to corrode. But a disappointment as great as this joy also came quickly. Whenever our host was furious to the brink of endurance or his body was in panic for treatment, the power of the nine-tailed beast migrated beyond the cage to support the boy, while at the same time corroding our prison. Over time, we gained the ability to lean out of the bars to share the senses with Naruto, and even to review his memories.

Then, after a while, Kurama decided to add Ying and Yang to my study program. Mastering the chakra of spirit and vitality was to help me create a functioning body in case of our escape from prison. Unfortunately, Kurama hadn't taught me about it before, because he didn't have a great talent for it himself. Neither did , help me the fact that I had huge deposits of chakra spirit, and vitality did not exist in me almost entirely.

However, we did not enjoy the new fun for long. How can you watch 24h series about a kid who only trains and is being oppressed. So we started making bets trying to predict the course of events, but in this case it was equally exciting. Sometimes the fox managed to send some diabolical thought when the kid was extremely open to suggestions. This resulted in few successful Naruto's pranks.

But one day, before the chunina exam, a certain situation repeated, and again we all stared at each other as if frozen. Me, a kyuubi and a friend from Naruto class.
