Note: This story was dynamically reformatted for online reading convenience. Metallic Fox Chapter 02 A/N: The main part of the idea for this story will happen after this arc as this arc is to set it up for the idea. Also the changes to how characters are in this story have to do with a few things like Kushina being alive, Naruto being smarter then canon, Naruto hiding his skills from the academy and his prisoner, and a few things that will be seen in later chapters. Raiga is from the fillers of the first part of the anime. Bidia, Sadru, and Zachni are all characters that are in other stories and not just my Naruto stories. During the Sakura versus the Reflection battle, it would be good to listen to the 13th Reflection from Kingdom Hearts 2. Naruto jumps towards Kurama with the Rasengan as Kurama moves out of the way. He then teleported above Kurama and slam the Rasengan onto the head of the giant fox. Kurama groans as Naruto sits on Kurama's head and sighs. "Now tell me, why are you not helping me?" Naruto asked Kurama as the fox growls. "Because you always use us beasts as tools even when I was just a normal fox demon. Before I was capture, all I did was trained to be the next leader of the Fox Demon Race. But I was selected to become the host of the largest part of the chakra from the Juubi in a peace offering to the humans. After the first and only demon war, I was given the chakra and placed under the care of the Sage of the Six Paths. When I get out of you then I be free and head back to the demon world to take over the Fox Demon Race," Kurama said. "You know instead of doing that, how about you help me out here. You are a friend of me and my mother along with Mito. I know that you want revenge against the Uchiha that wanted to control you. You said that the first one is dead and the second one is the one that in a way killed my father. I want to know why and if I feel like it then I'll kill him," Naruto said as Kurama nods. "Fine, I put off my goal until we get our revenge, but know this. My healing ability is only good to keep your head on and important organs alive. You will need to be careful with you hands, arms, legs, and feet," Kurama said as Naruto grins. "While we are in this sleep, how about I teach you about the powers of the Fox Demon Race," Kurama said as Naruto lands in front of Kurama as the fox change to a human form. Kurama has reddish-orange hair with fox ears above his head, nine reddish-orange fox tails, blood-red eyes, and peach skin. He wears a blue sleeveless shirt with a red nine-tailed fox on the back of the shirt, black pants, and blue sandals that shows his toes and the heels of his feet. Kurama told Naruto that the seal will last for 9 more hours in the real world since it been 72 hours since the seal was put on him. Kurama knows that he can teach Naruto enough in that amount of time. Back in Sakura's mind, the reflection has stop on one memory that seems to be a little fuzzy. "What is this, why is this memory fuzzy and what happen in it?" the reflection said as it use some chakra to force what was messing with the memory away. In the real world, Ino notice something as she was putting on Sakura's white sarashi that the darkness chakra was heading towards the middle of Sakura's forehead now. Back in the mind of Sakura, Sakura was able to view the memory along with the reflection as Sakura didn't even know that this happen. It must have happen on the day that she hit her head when she was young. The Memory: Sakura, Age 5. Sakura is by herself training something that she read in a book as she was able to make black smoke appear from her left hand. Ever since she found a book days ago, she wanted to master what is called the Darkness Style. Sakura smiled as she been able to finish the last step of learning the Darkness Style. She was about to leave when she heard some voices. "Lord Danzou has taken care of anyone that was looking around the place. Even a year ago when he killed that Haruno, we didn't get this much trouble. Huh, there is someone there," said one of the two ninjas as they look and found Sakura. The other ninja decided to use a jutsu to block the memory and have Sakura leave the area. What happen after she left is known by everyone in the Village. End of Memory. "So after I Left, it been reported that the two ninjas were killed with their hearts, kidneys, and liver missing," Sakura said as the reflection was thinking for a minute. "So did you lose anyone when you was four?" the reflection asked as Sakura nods. "I lost my father as it said that he was killed by assassins from one of the villages. He is the only one of our small multiple village clan that was killed when I was four so now I know the killer," Sakura said as the reflection smiles. "Well then I guess I give you a chance at revenge. That is if you can beat me," the reflection said as the ground shakes with a large single-edged sword appearing in its hand. The reflection sink into the floor as Sakura got ready when she was almost stabbed by the sword. `I got to remember how to use the two styles quick or I am finished,' Sakura thought as she dodge the sword. `The power to use elements come from your soul and body like chakra. There is no way that one will forgot to use any chakra and elemental power. Remember what you forgot and use it to win,' Sakura remember those words from the book as she backflip away from the reflection. "Body and Soul. Then I will use what my body learn to help my soul in this battle. Darkness Style: Dragon," Sakura said as she made a black Japanese Dragon appear out of the sky. Sakura direct the dragon to burn the reflection as the reflection blocks the flames with the sword. "Nice, but you will have to try harder then that to beat me," the reflection said as it made the large sword disappear and replace it with covering its hand with darkness chakra to form five claws. The reflection spins and head towards Sakura as she moves out of the way. "Darkness Style: Magic Box," Sakura said as she trapped the reflection in a rectangular box. Sakura made a bunch of double-edged swords then stab the box with it. She then snaps her fingers as the box explodes and smiles. "You're learning, but not fast enough to beat me," said the reflection as it appear behind her with a katana. Sakura block the katana with her own katana that she made at the last second as the two look at each other. `Maybe she is learning fast enough then I will have to speed up this fight as the other one is going to wake soon,' the reflection thought as it blast Sakura away by producing a lost of chakra. "Now then time to wrap things up, my dear copy. Darkness Style: Lovely Present," the reflection said as Sakura is now tied up by black ribbon. The reflection smiles before getting kicked in the head as the reflection look to see another Sakura. Sakura is helped out of the ribbons by another clone as the reflection growls. `She is not going to win this battle. Time to go at Max Power,' the reflection thought as it sinks into the floor as the world around Sakura turns back. Sakura gasps as she looks around then turns to see the reflection with six arms, a gold crown on its head, and a different appearance. "What are you?" Sakura said the reflection doesn't even look like her anymore. "I am the reflection of everything in your soul. Your pride, your wrath, your lust, your greed, your envy, your sloth, your gluttony, your life, your fears, your past, your present, and your future. I can be anything that you could be and there is nothing that can stop me," the reflection said as it spit purple liquid at Sakura. "Earth Style: Earth Dome Jutsu. Fire Style: Fire Stream Jutsu," the reflection said as Sakura is trapped in a dome made of earth with a hole that let the fire inside of it, "Fire and Earth Style: Flame Dome Jutsu." The reflection smiles as it laughs until the dome crack and the flames turn into a tornado that headed towards it. The reflection dodge the attack then got hit in the face by a punch. "What the fuck. How?" the reflection said as Sakura smirks then said, "Because I accept that I have sins and fears. This is my soul and body as I want it back." Sakura then forms a larger version of herself as the giant Sakura slams her fist down on the reflection. The reflection made a barrier as it smirks until the real Sakura dash towards the barrier. `So she decided on what she will do with this power then,' the reflection thought as it disappear. Sakura look around as she dodge an attack from the giant version of the reflection. She then got ready to finish this battle as the reflection appear behind her with six swords. "Kage Panchi Danmaku (Shadow Punch Barrage)," Sakura said as a barrage of fists made from darkness chakra hit the reflection as the reflection landed a little away from Sakura. When Sakura was using Kage Panchi Danmaku, she was throw punches in front of her while the fists mimic that movement like a shadow. "I guess you won, fine you can have your body back. I wish you luck in your future and think about your reasons behind wanting that Uchiha boy," the reflection said as it vanish. The place around Sakura turns into a field with a bunch of cherry blossom trees as she looks at one that started to grow then smiles. "I am my own person now and not just following after everyone," Sakura said as she smiles. In the real world, Naruto woke up and asked what happen as Nikki wanted to check on him. A few minutes later, the darkness chakra stop being visible to everyone as Sakura got up and open her eyes. Nikki notice for a second that Sakura's eyes had been all black before returning to normal. `She passed the test and now she just needs to train to use her powers,' Nikki thought as she told everyone that she will check out the two. An hour later, Naruto and Sakura were told to go train their new abilities. Everyone train in chakra control, jutsus, and close combat. Nikki had gotten some of her sisters to help Naruto and Sakura with their abilities. Meanwhile in Gatou's hideout, Tawna is relaxing as she is powering up the toaster with the lightning that is coming off of her body. Tawna wears a black latex sling bikini, black getas with black straps that are between her big toes and second toes, six gold metal rings around each of her wrists, and six gold metal rings around each of her ankles. Also Tawna is a Lightning Elemental Girl. She put the food on the plates at lightning speeds as her allies eat. Zabuza have recovered and Yuki twins are also ready to help Zabuza. Tawna is kind of with the group since Raiga wanted an easy source of lightning. "We will attack in two days as Gatou said that we wasted too much time with me resting for three days," Zabuza said as the other agreed.Chapter 02
