The White Demon Fox

Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki kept staring at his son sternly wanting to unnerve him further, he knew how much Kurama loved him, and he is going to abuse that to have him spill his guts. The one sided staring contest kept going for a while until Kurama's ears fell from their upright position.

"You destroyed a happy family, you made a man choose between his duty and family, worse is that the poor woman is going to die with regret and pain she did not deserve. They were not evil, on the contrary they were both decent humans, a rare commodity on a continent plagued with constant wars and tragedies." Stated the sage.

Kurama opened his maw and closed it. He sighed and asked "How long have you been watching?"

"Should you not know that already? You somehow gained the knowledge that I was not completely gone from this world and you were expecting me to turn up at any moment. I was always watching you my son, from the very start, especially after you became more than just the old Kurama. Now answer my question before I start having doubts and regrets of my own." Said the Rikudō Sennin with the authority of a father above all else.

Kurama made a quick check of his surroundings and then raised his right fist to his floating father. The sage understood what his son wanted to do and just waved his hand to take them both to Kurama's mindscape. He did not pump fist with Kurama to keep a show of mock anger at him, he did not understand Kurama's reasons, but he still trusted him.

They appeared right next to Kurama's masterpiece, the nine raging suns that were his nine tails of chakra. The sage immediately lost his attention to the new addition to his son mindscape, a black object at the center area between all nine suns. The black object is constantly siphoning chakra from the nine suns in a circular motion creating an enormous vortex of red chakra gas around it. From the north and south pole of the black object two jet streams of white chakra are shooting out of it. The north pole jet stream of white chakra gas is slowly creating 9 extremely dense orbs of white chakra that are rotating around their axis at an incredible speed. They are much smaller than the 9 suns, much less than 1/10 their size. The sage watched his son create the new additions, but he did not understand a goddamn thing which added to the sage ire.

Kurama noticed his father eyes taking in the sight before them and knew it is one way to earn easy points by explaining.

"The black object is a heavenly body called a Black Hole, in the real world, Black Holes are a region of spacetime exhibiting gravitational acceleration so strong that nothing, no particles or electromagnetic radiation such as light can escape from it. However, in my mindscape it is a two-way pathway to my eyes from the inside of my body. I created this loop where red chakra travels to Rinnegan Perta Path in a steady stream that was not big enough nor strong enough to influence the original ball of white chakra I created from Indra's and Asura's chakra. The jet stream from the south pole goes right back into the original ball of chakra I created while the excesses is being made into my new nine tails in the north pole." Said Kurama smugly.

A/N: (Kurama does not know he received help from his father and is assuming it is all his work, therefore he believes he turned the silver bead of chakra into the white ball of chakra that allowed him to start his positive feedback loop. I wish I did not have to write this note but I'm not sure I'm explaining things well enough, first time writer and all.)

"I don't see the chakra ball you created with the little you stole from Indra and Asura." Said the sage in irritation.

Kurama chuckled and said, "That is because I split it into equal halves and placed them inside my eyes."

The sage sighed at the fox dumb luck of all the things he learned from the soul that merged with him. "Fine, we will talk about this more later, now get back to my original question."

Kurama grumbles something inaudible about old goats and their god like powers.

"I did destroy Minato's marriage to protect Naruto's from Tobirama Senju legacy. You saw for yourself, what kind of man sacrifice his child as Minato's did? He did not struggle long with it, he did not argue, he did not beg, he did not question what would I do to Naruto once I have her, I left it open like that so every bad idea goes through his head in hope to see something more than the brainwashing he went through. Kushina's did what I expected from her, chose her child above the safety of not just Konoha but the whole world, like a mother should."

Kurama fixed his posture and continued "This goes against not just your teachings but my own bottom line, indoctrinating a child as an instrument of war from the tender age of six. I can't change the fate of every child out there but I sure as hell not going to let the one child I'm supposed to be stuck with goes through that subtle but effective brainwashing of Konoha or any other mercenary village. I may have ended our relationship as a jailer and a prisoner but I did not end the partnership that we are fated to have. I may or may not also gotten a bit too attached to the little bugger"

"I understand she will have to learn how to defend herself, how to fight, how to kill because she will be dragged into this world conflict no matter what I do thanks to grandmother machinations followed by her clan invasion, no one is excluded not even children. At the end of the day it comes down to this, I will not be a partner to a brainwashed child that think a village of strangers comes before family and loved ones. Since I knew I can't escape my fate completely thanks to you father, I did what I did." Finished Kurama.

"Hmm, what do you mean thanks to me?" Asked the sage.

"Really father? You would have left things alone if I just walked away today?" Said Kurama sarcastically.

"No, not after I have helped you get your eyes." Said the sage.

Kurama's eyes widen momentarily as he confirmed the faint suspicion he had that he did indeed receive his father help.

"Still if you refuse to be sealed in her, how will you be her partner?" Asked the sage.

"Meh, I will be the dragon, and she my dragon rider." Answered Kurama with a shrug.

The sage shook his head at his son nonchalant reply and tried to gruel him further "How would you stop the constant sealing efforts that you will face from this point forward, you don't seem to have a solid plan."

"You are correct in your assumption that I certainly do not have a plan to stop the constant bugs coming at me from this point forward. How could I? You are asking me to find a way to stop humans from being greedy devils. I just have to make sure that every attempt comes with a high cost, so high that they start thinking twice before trying again." answered Kurama.

The sage frowned, Kurama's actions will lead to many unnecessary conflicts, and he did not like it one bit that he plans to retaliate excessively.

"You and Asura's reincarnation won't even have enough time to grow in power nor will there be enough support for the both of you when the time comes if this is the road you are taking. You can't win the upcoming conflicts alone, I would know, I fought her before, not to mention if she comes back it means they somehow got their hands on you or at least part of your chakra." Said the sage.

"Gedō Mazō is my bottom bitch" Said Kurama with a twinkle in his eye.

"What?" Asked the sage with a bit of apprehension.

"Think about it, I got the eyes and more chakra than any human alive or dead, who the hell will play chakra tug of war with me over the ugly thing?" Explained Kurama.

The sage went silent for a bit, it is true the stolen status can be taken aback by Kurama but that would lead to a massive retaliation from the party that currently holds it.

"No, you keep going at this with brute force, you are not thinking about the consequences of your actions, if you do what you say you will then you will turn every human against you not to mention my mother's will won't stay idle, he will weaponize every single living and dead being against you if he has to. Besides don't think that I did not catch your glaring weakness that might be the end of you." Said the sage.

Kurama stiffened for getting caught, he hoped he could hide it with his mindscape creations but it seems the sage caught on quick.

"Did you really think I would not have noticed? The quality of white chakra you are creating are dropping, it is being diluted by your own red chakra. To prolong your access to the eyes of six paths you have to convert your chakra slowly to limit your chakra influence on it and even then with time it will get diluted enough that it won't matter anymore. You may have few years if things go smoothly for you but when has it ever gone so for anyone let alone you? All it will take is for you to go into multiple prolonged fights and then all will crumble around you. This is not to mention that you are still vulnerable to wood release."

"You can bluff the whole world for how long exactly?" Asked the sage after Kurama went silent.
