The White Demon Fox

Kurama laid down on his stomach, on top of a floating platform in his mindscape. His head propped up with his left hand as he swayed his head left and right while humming a lullaby, nine tails dancing in joy. He was playing with fetus Naruto genetics while his father on the side invisible went through his 36 Shokujo staff as he broke the last one with his teeth at his son audacity.

The damnable fox was literally playing with the world fate and hope, what is worse is that the sage did not capture the fetus original genetic code before Kurama started changing it. He had no control over time since he never once tried to change the past but at the moment he wished he could.

Now and then Kurama would speak to the fetus as if it was a baby while he continued exploring what to add and remove from it. The loneliness in the fox started to diminish with Naruto, even as a fetus, for Kurama who was always alone it meant a lot to him.

'Sigh, I guess I have another daughter now.' Thought the sage to himself as he was reviewing the fox changes to the child of prophecy. 'At least he is clearly doting on her with his changes, nothing negative so far except for the clear distaste Kurama has for the child's father. He did not keep a single strand of DNA from the father, he doesn't even qualify as a s.p.e.r.m donor anymore. I guess because he knows who will seal him next he is directing all his hatred at him.' Continued the sage to observe in silence.

Kurama now and then would giggle like a schoolgirl, other times he would whistle at his work while making sure he did not make any error unaware that there was someone else checking after him.

"How about some freckles Naru-chan? Just a little, yeah? Very light, I promise. Sigh, ok we will skip the freckles." Said Kurama as if he was having a conversation with Naruto. The Rikudō Sennin was saddened by his son crippling isolation from the world, but was glad that Kurama is getting attached to his future vessel and partner. 'He will treat her right, I'm sure. They will be a force to be reckoned with if their friendship and companionship started as soon as the child is born. Although I'm not sure why is he making her so unnaturally gorgeous, maybe to have their enemies break their own necks as they follow the girl with their eyes while drooling like idiots. Mother might even dote on the girl if she saw her as a baby. Nay, sadly mother is too far gone.' Thought the ancient spirit as he shook his head remembering the rabbit goddess.

Kurama cut his contact to the fetus and moved his sight to the side as he was sensing the older fetus, the duck b.u.t.t, Sasuke. "Hmm, 3 months old fetus. I wonder how many crippling genetic diseases I can stack on one person and make sure they make it past their first birthday." Said Kurama out loud while smirking wickedly. Rikudō Sennin instantly went into panic mode and faster than the yellow flash ever moved in his life captured Sasuke's DNA and genetic code to avoid what Kurama just announced.

Kurama sighed to himself and shook his head to clear it. "I should not. I would be insulting every unfortunate soul that was born crippled naturally. Beside it is unreasonable cruelty to someone who has yet to do anything to piss me off. Once father realize what I have done to Asura's reincarnation he might lose it. I might need to keep the duck b.u.t.t as is to avoid my father fury. I never saw him angry and I don't want to be the one that actually manages to piss off the sage among sages." Kurama shivered at the thought of an angry Rikudō Sennin. "He might turn me into a tanuki as a punishment. Where would I bury myself then away from Shukaku."

"Still, another girl would be better, no? I would not have to worry about him chasing after my Naru-chan like a dog in heat. Wait, what if he is gay? Then I would be screwing myself over. Meh, I should have a bit more confidence in myself and not worry about who may attempt to chase my Naru-chan, after what I done, wars will start over her beauty. Hmm, this might be a problem, if my plan fails, with no one to protect her, she will have a worse childhood than canon, those monsters in human skin will do unspeakable things to her before she even reaches her preteen years. She might make a certain black widow childhood seems like paradise. F.u.c.k, why did I not think of this sooner." Kurama started thrashing around in agitation and smashing the platform he is on in anger at what might he caused to happen to Naruto. Rikudō Sennin was in agreement, this might backfire spectacularly, no creatures can be crueler than humans, some of them make demons shy away in disgust.

The fox smashed his head on one of the pillars that he conjured in his mindscape. "Time Limit, I need to place a time limit to my plan, I can't take this risk, I will be having a first row seat to all the abuse she would suffer on a daily basis if I fail, I can't allow that to happen, I would remember it for all eternity and I would never be able to live with myself. 8 months, that is my time limit, it should be safe enough for me to revert what I had done, f.u.c.k I might have to have her start growing a d.i.c.k if my attempts fail by the 8th month."

Once more, Rikudō Sennin nodded his head in agreement. 'Every action has a consequence. If not now then in the future, we can't escape what would haunt us for all our lives due to what we have done. I taught you to be better than this Kurama, do not fail me and yourself, not after I allowed you to do this. I will be just as guilty in this matter.'

"Duck b.u.t.t is a 3 months old fetus and his chakra network still have not formed completely, I can't access his chakra core at this stage which limit my time table even further if I have to wait for each to be older than 6 months." Said Kurama as he was thinking out loud.

'My wayward son, what do you want to do with their chakra cores? You already made sure Naruto's chakra network and core are going to be astonishing.' The Rikudō Sennin closed his eyes in thought, trying to figure out what would his son wants from his other sons reincarnations chakra cores.

Three months passed. During those months Kurama grew extremely nervous, he was slowly losing his sanity in worry. He kept trying to assure himself that it will be alright, and he still has time, he kept talking to Naruto promising her that he would never allow any harm to reach her because of his actions, a fruitless effort to calm himself down. Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki never left his son, he was just as invested now in this as Kurama.

Kurama laid down in hope something changed with Sasuke since he was roughly 6 months old unborn baby. He focused on the threads he left within Mikoto Uchiha and explored the yet to be named or born Sasuke Uchiha, Indra's reincarnation.

The demon fox mind swam through Sasuke's roughly completed chakra network trying to reach his core. Once he arrived there he was able to visualize the little chakra inside the core that represented Sasuke's core chakra and life. He went a bit further in, searching for one half of his salvation, and he felt it, visualize it, chakra more dense and potent than any other baby have the right to have let alone unborn one, Indra's chakra.

The smile that broke on Kurama face was more terrifying than a lion roaring with all it might. He immediately started sending new chakra threads to his target, they traveled through Konoha from Kushina's 3 months pregnant slightly bulging stomach, unblocked, unfelt, unseen, and they went through everything to reach their target deep within Mikoto 6 months pregnant bulging stomach. The threads reached their goal and went through Indra's chakra to carefully cut a piece out of it. Kurama was not sure if removing the whole thing would kill Sasuke, so he was not willing to take that risk, he will take a bit now and observe what changes over the coming few days. He encased the piece he separated in a cocoon made of the same threads he sent to both protect it and to make sure it did not disperse in the air. Slowly but excitedly he managed to guide it safely to his mindscape.

Once he had it, he cut off the threads but left the piece encased safely. Hagoromo frowned at his son's actions as he was not sure what could he hope to accomplish with such meager amount of chakra. It would not be enough to do anything if he did the same thing every day.

Just like that, the days passed and Kurama like a clock work, kept taking pieces from Indra's chakra daily while observing the ever growing original chunk of chakra in Sasuke's core. He noticed that the chunks he took are not causing any adverse effects, but he did not want to get greedy just to chew more than the yet to be born infant could handle.

When Naruto's reached the 5th month in her mother's w.o.m.b Kurama did the same to her as he did to Sasuke, due to her incredible, fox trademarked, chakra network and core, Asura's chakra was accessible earlier than Sasuke's Indra's chakra.

The sage continued to observe his son pointless actions, what he thought, in both wonder and apprehension. He could appreciate the genius in the whole matter and his son imaginative creativity but it would all be for naught. The amount was just too small to do anything with it. Maybe if he does this when the kids are in their teens, but not as unborn infants.

Kurama kept at it, never once missing his daily intake of Asura's and Indra's chakra. On the 23rd July of the year 1000, Sasuke Uchiha was born and named. Kurama stopped paying any attention to him and decided he took enough because the amount of both Asura's and Indra's has to be equal, and he has yet to take enough from the 6 months unborn infant Naruto.

By Naruto's seventh month in her mother's w.o.m.b, Kurama finally have equal amount of Indra's and Asura's chakra. "The moment of truth is upon me, either it was all for naught or I have pulled the world greatest heist in the history of this world. The key to my salvation, to my freedom, to Naruto's happy childhood, and happy life." Said Kurama talking to himself.

Kurama then proceeded to gather all the cocoons, they were each slightly bigger than individual sand grains, they all floated in Kurama's mindscape, right in front of his c.h.e.s.t. He brought both his clawed hands around the cocoons creating a chakra spherical pressure on the cocoons as they dissolved, revealing the blue glittering chakra in each of them. The pressure increased pushing all the little sand like chakra to the center between Kurama's palms. They started getting closer to each other until Kurama smashed his palms in the Snake hand seal forcing Indra's and Asura's chakra to merge, to form the Rikudō Sennin legendary chakra.

Kurama kept his hands together closed and started to look left and right in paranoia thinking the sage of six paths will appear any moment now. "He must have felt that, graybeard is s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to his own chakra." After a while and no sage appeared anywhere near Kurama he heaved a sigh of relief and opened his hands. A small pea sized silver bead of chakra, he immediately connected multiple chakra threads to it to sustain it but not enough to influence or change it.

Kurama floated to the center of his nine chakra suns and placed the chakra bead there, then he moved to the currently northernmost sun, he sank his arm in it south pole and pulled a lot of chakras and shot them out of his mindscape to float just outside his pinned body but still connected to him. The overwhelming majority of it got suppressed and dispersed by the seal, but a little of it was still there. This was his way to know the maximum amount of chakra he could leak just outside his body.

Kurama went back to the silver bead and started pulling visible threads of chakra out of it, two threads to be specific. The two silver threads were shining and easily seen and felt. Kurama closed his eyes in both mindscape and body focusing on his own chakra network, reaching his eyes chakra network and immediately cutting off all chakra to it. He became completely blind and his eyes lost their red iris and his pupil disappeared, it was nothing but a white orb now that was slowly graying from the lack of chakra.

Kurama connected the two silver threads to his eyes, one for each eye and opened them in hope. He saw darkness, nothing but endless darkness. He did not even blink and started pulling more threads out of the bead, 4 threads this time, two more for each eye. Yet still nothing. He kept adding more until the silver chakra bead became sand grain sized. Still, nothing but darkness.

Kurama frowned, and he took all threads back to the silver bead and remade it to what it was before creating the threads out of it. This time he took the entire bead and connected it to his right eye.

Despair engulfed Kurama as nothing changed or happened to his eye. At that moment, he lost all hope, no less than 200 years of imprisonment awaited him if Naruto's did not get killed earlier.

Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki observed his son and hoped he will come to accept his fate and move on. However, Kurama's mindscape started deteriorating, a telltale of Kurama's current mental state. The incredibly crafted spacetime started cracking like a broken glass singling it replacement by endless darkness as Kurama lost all his will to live.

Hagoromo looked sadly at what he considered the greatest art he ever had the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to witness and enjoy get destroyed slowly, the heavenly bodies started breaking and disappearing, but the most eye-catching sight are the nine enormous suns, Kurama's chakra, hatred, malice and madness. They started to get released from their controlled state to the way it was before, immeasurable hatred towards all, madness that demanded the destruction of everything.

The sage of six paths flashed away to Kurama's right eye and said silently 'Just this once'. He reached for the little silver bead and enriched it with his own chakra, slowly Kurama's right eye changed color from dead gray, to light purple, 6 ripples started appearing on it and a black slit sprouted to life.

Kurama did not notice the change or that he can see again, he went to the very depths of despair. The sage started increasing his chakra output for no other reason but to wake Kurama out of his misery. He wanted to see what would his son do with this one single chance, he will not do it again, one chance only.

Kurama suddenly felt the silver chakra bead increasing in pressure as if it was being supercharged. He went out of his mindescape and saw the world clearer with much more details than he ever noticed. He could see the seal inner work for the first time, all the drawn lines and symbols as Kushina's chakra ran through it. He knew this might be a freak accident and a once in a lifetime chance. He concentrated on his Rinnegan eye looking for the right ability, the one that would open all the previously closed doors to him.

Kurama started radiating as much chakra as the seal would allow and had it float right in front of his face.

"Preta Path" Roared Kurama.

The Eye of Six Paths started absorbing the chakra Kurama was radiating in front of it, changing it, purifying it and cleansing it right to his mindscape.

Kurama kept at it for hours, radiating red chakra and absorbing it through his right eye. The seal did not allow of much, but he would be damned if he did not keep doing this until he lost his right eye forever if he had to.

Hagoromo kept supplying his chakra to the silver bead and thought 'Nine tails, nine hours, good luck son.'

The process kept going for nine hours as the sage secretly promised, until Kurama eye lost it life once again and the silver bead was completely spent.

Kurama, as soon as he once more lost his sight connected his chakra network again to his eyes and went to his mindscape in haste. He immediately sensed all the chakra the Rinnegan created and gathered it around him.

He made a circular motion with his right index finger, commanding the cleansed chakra to condense and form the shape of a ball. It was nothing major, a bit bigger than his right hand. He grinned widely at the silver ball of chakra.

Kurama started laughing, he laughed and laughed then he started sobbing for the second time in his life, the mighty nine tailed demon fox cried tears of sorrow, tears of hope and tears of joy.
