Hey! This story might not be as good as the other ones because I didn't want to make it so long but I hope you'll enjoy it still. I've used some elements from other story I read here on Fanfiction in the end so I can't stay everything here came from my mind. Pairing between Kyuubi (Kurama) and Naruto - enjoy :)

The fourth great ninja war has ended and everything turned back to normal. Really? Did everything turn normal? The alliance between five lands remained still because Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha taught the five Kage that cooperation is important.

However, Naruto and others have taken some free time from battles and Naruto seriously deserved rest. He went over to his beloved Ichiraku ramen. Everybody who knows Naruto is proud to know him because he saved lives of many people.

Teuchi served Naruto his special ramen but Naruto didn't care. He liked all ramen Teuchi and his daughter Ayame made. Naruto used to smile all the time even in the worst times. Right now, Naruto was feeling like he is followed.

Naruto is followed by somebody and that somebody was Kurama alias. Kyuubi. How? Every time Naruto turned to look at him, he was there only for a second and then he disappeared.

Was it because his nature has changed? Kurama used to kill everyone. He was – as he called himself – the hate itself. Why is Kurama spying Naruto now? He is still part of him, isn't he? He can talk to him anytime he wants, but he doesn't.

"Kurama…?" Naruto tried to talk to his partner but Kurama remained sleeping inside Naruto and so he thought he becomes paranoid. "Naruto?" Teuchi snapped Naruto out of his thoughts about Kurama, "You are really tired, Naruto!" Teuchi said, "Uh..? N-No! I am fine!"

Naruto offended, "Naruto… you fell asleep in your ramen…" Ayame said and pointed at Naruto's face that was totally covered with ramen. Naruto totally ashamed blushed hard and tried to clean his face as he heard laugh from the side, "That voice…" Naruto said and saw Kiba behind him.

"Nice make-up Naruto!" Kiba kept laughing, "KIBAA!" Naruto yelled at Kiba and started to chase him after Kiba ran away. He chased Kiba for long distance, "Kage bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto summoned his clones and chased Kiba still.

"Kiba stop!" Naruto yelled but it was useless. Kiba pulled him out of the village. The day ended and night sky appeared. Kiba finally stopped and Naruto behind him, "Why do you run?! Kiba?!" Naruto asked him, "Finally there is time to talk, Naruto…"

Kiba said but it wasn't his voice, "K-Kiba…?" Naruto asked with nervousness in voice. As Kiba turned to face Naruto, his look faded in human-sized version of Kyuubi standing on two legs, "Kurama?!" Naruto expressed.

"Hello Naruto…" Kurama started, "Kurama… what are you doing here?" Naruto asked, "Naruto… I need to talk to you" Kurama continued, "But why didn't you just talk to me through my head like you always did? Why did you have to drag me all the way over here? And also… why do I see you in this form?"

Naruto attacked Kurama with many questions, "I needed to talk to you from eyes to eyes. I know you and I knew that you wouldn't listen to me in your free time that you surely want to spend with your friends. Since the war ended I don't have time to talk to you…"

Kurama explained, "What are you talking about?! We've built a partnership on the battlefield! I allowed you to be free with no seal limiting you! Kurama I don't have a good feeling when you drag me out of the village in the night..!"

Naruto started monolog, "Everything is alright, Naruto. I just want to talk with you in privacy. There was no opportunity. I didn't want to scare you out with appearing in my full size so I am in this form, standing here. You don't have to be worried, I am just genjutsu created from your chakra by my use."

Kurama explained with his usual gaze, "His look…" Naruto noticed that Kurama didn't have furious look he used to have before. It was without fury and it seemed that Kurama is even smiling slightly, "Kurama… what happens?" Naruto asked him.

"As you mentioned the partnership we have built, I have realized that I want to change my mind…" Kurama said and started to approach Naruto, "What?!" Naruto got startled and afraid of Kurama as he thought that Kurama will do something to him.

"What do you mean by changing your mind?!" Naruto asked nervously, "You said that I am free and that means I can choose my way…" Kurama continued and approached Naruto, "I've never been so scared in my life like now!" Naruto thought.

Suddenly Naruto's walking backwards was stopped by a wall of Konoha behind his back, "This is bad! I can do nothing against genjutsu!" he said and then he rather braced himself for the worst. But all of sudden he felt all of his body being embraced with fur.

Naruto opened his eyes and looked directly in chest of Kurama. When he rose his head up, Kurama looked directly in Naruto's eyes with calm. Kurama was holding Naruto with his paws and tails, "I chose this way." Kurama said.

Kurama was still looking down at Naruto as he started to be worried, "Naruto..?" Kurama asked for response but Naruto didn't react. As Kurama released the grip, Naruto fell down on the floor and Kurama disappeared, genjutsu was released.

"Naruto? Naruto?" Naruto started to wake up in the hospital where Sakura worked. His eyes opened up as he realized that it's her, "Sakura…" Naruto sat up on his bed, "ANBU have found you in the late night behind walls of Konoha lying on the ground…"

Sakura explained to him, "Eh..? I hope nobody is worried or something!" Naruto said, "Nobody wants to do anything until you will tell us what happened," Sakura gazed at him.

"Sakura…?" Naruto was thinking of Kurama, "Nothing serious… I was probably too hurry…" Naruto said silently, "Naruto, you're not a good liar. ANBU told us that you've been found with signs of genjutsu!" Sakura argued.

"Uh?!" Naruto got startled and remembered what Kurama told him, "Sakura? Will you promise me something?" Naruto asked her and Sakura nodded. Naruto whispered in Sakura's ear what Kurama did. Sakura blushed and chuckled.

"Hahahaaa!" Sakura laughed wildly, "What's so funny?!" Naruto grumbled, "Oh Naruto! That's so cute!" Sakura said, "It's not cute! It might be problem!" And so they started to argue like this for whole morning.

Naruto has a lot of questions and confusion in his head that he needs to solve!
