I'm Not Alone Anymore

Chapter 4

Kurama's pov.

When I opened my eyes again, I was in my human form (Kurama's human form above) in front of my father, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. He was a legendary godlike figure who is regarded as the ancestor of shinobi, Afterall he was the one who found ninshu which led to the creation of the ninja world.

He was sitting on water in lotus position with his eyes closed. Sensing my presence he slowly opened his eyes and gave me a warm smile. Ah there it is the smile filled with love nobody will believe that the great Hagoromo Otsutuki also known as the sage of six paths has a side like this that he only shows to someone that have gained his respect. Even though he is a serious man he is still a good father at least that’s what I think. I was brought out of my thoughts when father suddenly asked: “well hello to you too Kumara as much as I am happy to see you, I have to ask why are you here, its defiantly no for staring at me right? The last time I checked you were still sealed in a mortal.” Ah that’s right I was here to ask for father’s help to get Naru out of that goddamn village. “Yes, father I am here to ask for your help. You do know the mortal that I am currently sealed in right” I stated. “Ah yes, the child of the prophecy, a future shinobi with a great future and loved/respected by everyone, hero that will save the shinobi world from destruction.” He spoke. ‘Yaa child of prophecy my ass’ I thought in my mind but I noticed something that I have never seem in father’s eyes. What is it pity, sadness, what is that emotion I don’t know? “Yes father, you got him right, but if I may ask is there a problem father, your eyes are showing emotions that I have never seen before”. “ha-ha as observant as always Kurama. But to answer your question yes, there is a problem a serious one, don’t tell me you haven’t noticed it yet.” What is he talking about is there something wrong about Naru, I was starting to panic but I didn’t what to come to any conclusion, so I tried to calm myself?
After I was sure I was calm enough I started talking but my voice betrayed me “no I haven’t noticed anything out of usual, what is it father?” my voice clearly showed my worry, embracing myself for the worst I heard my father sigh as said “your host is dying Kurama”. What, my whole world just stops at that sentence. Not because of the fear that I will die with my host it was actually the opposite when the host die if the tailed beast has enough chakara to break the seal we can be freed, my world stopped because Naru was dying. What, why I didn’t have the chance to protect him properly yet or give him the love he deserved, and he is dying, he is joking right. There is no way my Naru is dying, right? “Father you are joking right?” “You know I don’t joke around like that, and if you still have not noticed it yet then go back and check his body every nook and corner. I thought you were the most observant one out of your siblings” I didn’t say anything, I just couldn’t. I know that father will never lie or make a joke on matters like this but it was worth a shot, right?
I was devastated and it was clear on my face “you still haven’t stated why you are here Kurama” that’s right I totally forgot about it. “Yes, I was here to ask for your help regarding my host, Naruto. I want to take him out of the village and I know for a fact that the shinobi world is dangerous for a small child like him. I want to make him feel love, him to feel belonged, I was going to take him to the summoning world for foxes, well now it seems like there will be no enough time”. When I finish my father was surprised, never in his wildest dream would have he ever thought that his son especially the 9th tailed beast, the one with the most hatred in him will say something like this. Well you can’t blame me Naru is too cute and precious that my hatred felt like nothing.
After some minutes of silence well you can say it was just my father staring at me in disbeliefs. Well he snaped out of it eventually and was deep in thought. After what seems to be like hours in reality it was only 10 minutes, he spoke “as much as it is hard to believe you seems to take a liking of your new host” I just nodded I was not in a mood to answer anything. He sighed and continued “ok go back for now Kurama I will see what I can do to help Naruto” at this I perked up he said he will see to it that means he will find a way right father never lies and he will do what he says he will do. I nodded my head, thanked him and turned to return to Naru. Saying my good bye and I will see him again I poofed away but with a heavy heart and a thought "how am I going to tell Naru this news".
