"Ok, I think this is enough" - Jiraiya said as he appeared in front of the young blond with a serious expression on his face.

"Ero Sennin!" - Both Naruto exclaimed as the white-haired Sannin stumbled over.

"Are you serious?!" - Jiraiya exclaimed as he looked at the two Naruto, only to frown as he noticed how similar those two looked - "Who are you?"

"Tsunade didn't tell you anything?" - Kurama asked as he raised an eyebrow - "I guess I'll introduce myself, my name is Uzumaki Kurama, patriarch of the Uzumaki clan, and current husband of Uzumaki Kushina."

"!" - Jiraiya widened his eyes in surprise after hearing this, only to frown again - "Impossible, she's dead."

"In this dimension, she is" - Kurama replied calmly as Jiraiya's eyes widened in surprise as he understood the context of the albino's words.

"I see, that explains why I felt some familiar presences during my trip to the Hot Springs, it also explains how there are two Naruto" - Jiraiya replied as he looked at his apprentice as well as the son of the man in front of him - "I'd like to know a little more about it."

"We can do that later" - replied Kurama calmly while shrugging his shoulders - "For now let's relax a bit."

". . ." - Jiraiya was silent for a few seconds before nodding - "Tell me, what's your relationship with the Kyubi no Kitsune?"

"Oh?" - Kurama raised an eyebrow when he heard the Sannin's question - "What makes you think I'm related to the Kyubi?"

"Your eyes" - Jiraiya answered seriously - "Your eyes are the same ones Naruto has when he uses the power of his Bijuu."

"I see" - Kurama nodded as his smile grew considerably - "And from your tone of voice, I sense that things didn't go well when that happened."

Jiraiya frowned as Naruto(2) looked down in embarrassment.

"Hmm, I think I touched on a sensitive subject, though I think I have the solution to your problem, young Uzumaki" - Kurama said as he looked at the other version of his son - "Care to hear me out?"

Naruto(2) glanced at his master, only to notice how the latter nodded after some thought - "I am listening"

"The solution is simple" - Kurama said while smiling slightly - "You have to treat your Bijuu as a companion, a friend, as if he were your family, after all, they are not mindless animals that are ruled by their instincts. They are alive, they have intelligence similar to humans, as well as feelings and desires."

Jiraiya was silent when he heard this as he tried to refute the albino's words.

"Like a friend?" - Naruto(2) muttered as he started to think, only to find out how his relationship with the Kyubi was nothing more than one where he used his energy when he was in a serious situation - "Do I need to talk with him more?"

"That's the first step" - Kurama replied as he nodded - "In time, you'll find out that that imposing, evil fox, is nothing more than a Tsundere rabbit."

"Pff ~" - Naruto(2) could hardly contain his laughter because it was the first time someone disrespected the strongest of the Bijuu.

"Gaki, I want you to let me talk with that bastard" - said the Kyubi inside the young man.

"Huh?" - Naruto(2) was surprised when he heard the Bijuu's voice, after all, this was the first time the beast tried to contact him first - "How do you want me to do that?"

"Simple, let me take control of your body" - the Kyubi answered simply - "Relax, I don't plan to take permanent possession, I just want a few minutes".

"Can I trust you, Kyubi?" - Naruto(2) asked while frowning.

"That's up to you, Naruto" - replied the Kyubi with disinterest - "But if you want to have a more harmonious relationship with me, then you're going to have to take the first step."

". . ." - Naruto(2) was silent for a few seconds before nodding. Something inside him told him that the Bijuu wasn't lying - "Fine, I trust you."

The Kyubi was silent for a few seconds before snorting in disdain.

"That man is right, you are a Tsundere rabbit" - Naruto(2) said with a smirk.

"Don't disrespect me, Ningen!" - roared the Kyubi fiercely, only to growl with irritation when he noticed how Naruto seemed to ignore him - "Tch, just make it quick to end this once and for all!"

"Ok" - nodded Naruto(2) as he closed his eyes, only for his body to be surrounded by a red aura.

"Naruto!" - Jiraiya exclaimed in terror as he saw how his godson was using the power of the Kyubi no Kitsune.

"Easy, old toad" - growled Naruto(2) in a slightly gravelly voice - "I don't plan on destroying what little trust my jailer has given me."

"!" - Jiraiya's eyes widened in surprise when he heard his godson's demonic voice, but he let out a sigh of relief, though outwardly he was still showing a neutral expression - "You'd better be, or I promise you'll pay for this!"

"Eh ~" - the Kyubi only smiled disdainfully as he turned his attention back to the white-haired man - "Who are you?"

"Didn't I say that before?" - Kurama asked with a huge grin - "My name is Uzumaki Kurama, leader of the Uzumaki clan and current Jubi no Kitsune, it's a pleasure, my other self."

"!" - Jiraiya's eyes widened in surprise because this part he hadn't heard before.

"It's impossible to have 10 tails" - replied the Kyubi neutrally - "Only a beast can achieve that".

"And I devoured it" - Kurama replied as he noticed how his counterpart's expression changed. He quickly extended his fist and waited for the Kyubi to do the same.

Naruto(2) was silent for a few seconds before nodding and mimicking his other self's actions, only to fall completely silent after seeing everything he needed to see - ". . ."

"So much for the almighty Kyubi no Kitsune?" - Kurama asked disdainfully.

"I have a lot to think about" - muttered the Kyubi as he handed control back to Naruto(2) - "Ok, that was a bit strange, though I have discovered some interesting things."

"Are you alright, Naruto?" - Jiraiya asked with concern.

"Yes I am" - Naruto(2) replied with a smile, only to punch the Sannin in the stomach - "That was for not being with me when I needed it the most, godfather."

"Ok, I deserve it" - Jiraiya muttered as he fell to his knees from lack of air.

"So, are you like my father?" - Naruto(2) asked as he looked at the albino.

"No, your father in this dimension is Namikaze Minato" - Kurama replied as he shrugged - "Though if you wish, I can become your father, I'm sure my Naruto would like to have a twin brother."

Naruto(2) found the offer tempting but decided to wait a bit before deciding whether to accept or not.

"What else did you find out, Naruto?" - Jiraiya asked as he carefully stood up.

"Who my mother is" - Naruto(2) replied as he remembered the beautiful red-haired woman.

* * * * *

"I had a strange dream..." - Hinata(2) muttered as she shook her head.

"What was it about?" - A female voice asked.

"I met my crush's mother together with some people who shouldn't be in this world, like Mikoto-san" - replied Hinata(2) unconsciously, only to blush as she noticed how Kushina and the others were looking at her with a smile on their faces - "Kya!"

"Ok, that was funny" - said Ino as she started to shiver as she heard how her Hinata threatened her to go see her other self - "I'm sorry for teasing Hinata-chan so much, but don't go looking for my self from this dimension! I wouldn't stand to see how that girl is after Emo-san!"

"Is there something wrong with my son?" - Mikoto asked with a frown.

"The one from our dimension isn't bad, but the one from this place" - Ino replied although at least she had the decency to look away in shame.

"Ok, I admit you have a point, but you have to understand that he's not entirely to blame" - replied Mikoto while sighing regretfully - "The Sasuke of this dimension grew up alone, without someone who cared with him, no one guided him during the years he was more susceptible to what was going on around him."

Hinata(2) tried to refute Mikoto's words, after all, Sasuke had hurt the boy she loved so much, but after seeing the woman's expression, she decided it was better not to say anything.

"I know the actions of the Sasuke of this dimension are terrible, but that doesn't change that as a mother, I was at fault for not being there when he needed me the most" - sighed Mikoto as she felt Kushina put her hand on her shoulder - "Thank you, Kushina-chan, I needed that token of support."

"That's what friends are for, Mikoto-chan" - replied Kushina with a smile.
