【 Third Person's POV 】

Just when the Fourth Hokage, Minato was about to get Naruto the half of Kurama back to him and then split him for Kyuubi, Black Zetsu got in the way and had it for himself.

And as Minato said, Kyuubi is half Nine-Tailed Beast, and what happened have happened.

Kyuubi's appearance started to suddenly change. Her entire body turned black like a shadow figure as her eyes glowed white.

Gaara backed away as he saw what she have become. His eyes widened as his lips trembled. "Kyuubi," his voice was faint, weak.

She stood up on her feet and gave Black Zetsu a devilish menacing stare.

"Zetsu." Her voice was even more like a devil talking.

But the look Zetsu gave her was a happy one, as if he have known that she will turn into this. He grinned big. "Uzumaki Kyuubi, from now on, you're my sister. Ōtsutsuki Kyuubi."

Gaara looked at Minato. "Wh-what is he talking about?!" he asked.

The look Minato gave Kyuubi was a sad one. "Anyone who possesses the Nine-Tails become her brother or sister. It changes her." He explained, and gave her daughter a glance with glint. "Kyuubi..."

"Kyuubi!" Gaara said loudly, she turned her head to him and tilted it far.

Her creepy smile grew.

"Don't expect her to know you. She is my sister now, my little sister!" Zetsu said as he laughed like a maniac.

"Shut up!" Gaara yelled at him.

"Gaara," Kyuubi said. "Are you Gaara?"

His throat almost got clogged when he felt like she's remembering him, and immediately nodded. "Yes, yes. Its me, Gaara!"

She grinned. "Right." And she turned her head to Zetsu. "Aloe Vera bastard, are you? You hurt Naruto Nii-Chan and everyone, and you took Kurama from me. I won't forgive you," she started to grow into a huge dark shadowy version of Kurama.

The way Zetsu looked at her was priceless.

Kyuubi started to shrink to her normal size as the dark form of hers started to leave her body.

That feeling hit Gaara when he was about to go to her, but stopped when he saw her with red eyes glowing, exactly like Kurama's eyes. And the ears of a fox as well with Nine-Tails.

"That's the true form of Uzumaki Kyuubi, lady and gentlemen." Madara said in a sassy way. "What are you planning to do now, Kyuubi? Are you going to scratch my face? Because if you do, that would be very cute."

Without any explanation on why she have done that, Kyuubi took off her Akatsuki cloak off her waist and wore it on.

[ insert Akatsuki theme ]

"Ah, you were with them!" Madara said as if he answered a very important question. "That explains your Rinnegan. Was it Nagato who gave it to you? Mhm, because yours is... Special."

"Enough talking already, Madara." She snapped him out.

He smiled. "What would a little girl like you do, if I do this..." He lifted some large rocks and aimed it at the Kazekage, Gaara.

Kyuubi immediately used her speed and in a blink of an eye was already blocking Gaara from those rocks as she pointed her palms at the rocks and had clays flying, and said "Almighty Push!" As the clays sticked to the rocks and exploded into tiny pieces.

Minato looked at his daughter in shock. "Kyuubi, Your speed–"

"Like father like daughter. Uzumaki Kyuubi, Konoha's Red Flash." declared Kakashi whom is next to Minato while Sakura and Naruto were where Obito took them.

Kyuubi's hands were like just been pulled off only some threads were holding it, her hand went right through Madara as she had returned her hand back.

Expecting him to die that she only got blood, his hole in the body healed itself.

"Weak." said Madara.

Jashin.

If she can use Kakuzu's ability, Rinnegan, hand mouths. She may can use the blood. Only to try.

The blood that was on the floor that splashed made her imagine how Hidan used to do it.

She made the Jashin ritual. Part of her regret it because shes not sure if it'll work.

"What're you doing, child? It's not time for praying." Madara said.

That made her chuckled and look at the sky. "Jashin," she mumbled, and then back to Madara.

A creepy grin showed on her face as she licked the blood of Madara from her hand. He had a disgusted look.

And here she realized that it worked.

Her whole body went skeleton like, with bone like white markings on her face exactly like how Hidan used to do it.

"Harming you is better than killing. prepare to be tortured." she said, taking out a kunai and pointing it. To her heart spot.

"Kyuubi don't! You've gone too far!" Minato said, but too late. She stabbed herself.

And what expected happened.

Madara is damaged.

Kyuubi did it repeatedly as he fell on his knees. Only now, she felt like she's using too much Chakra that she went back to her normal form.

"I can't die... You idiot!" Madara yelled.

And then, suddenly without any explanation, Madara jumped away. And as they saw that he saw Hashirama, the First Hokage.

Minato went infront of his daughter and smiled. "I guess you aren't so much like Kushina or me. Just... Scary." he chuckled nervously, and then his eyes shifted to Gaara.

"So you're her boyfriend?" said Minato.

Gaara blushed and went awkward by mumbling. "Um, like its complicated, yes- I dont know–"

Kyuubi interrupted.

"Not yet." she replied calmly.

"KYUUBIII!"  Madara shouted unexpectedly after getting rejected by Hashirama.

She knew this was her fight that she was already ready to fight him. He jumped out of no where and infront of her.

Gaara blocked Madara's way from Kyuubi. "Kyuubi, go somewhere safe." he said.

"No, you go somewhere safe." She said.

He wouldn't go of course, that Kyuubi entered Six Paths Sage Mode qnd had one of the hands taking Gaara away.

"Well done, Kyuubi. That's how a woman deals with her man." said Madara.

Kyuubi glared at him. "You know what? I want to beat the shit out of you after all what you have done. You may have founded Konoha and named it, but I will declare you a traitor, a shame of Konoha. "

Madara chuckled. "You talk too much, Kyuubi" He said. "Look behind you."

She was about to.

A clone of Madara was the one that was talking. And the real one behind her grabbed her shoulders, made her fall on her knees as Black Zetsu forced the Six Paths Sage Mode out of her.

Madara, without waiting immediately took out her Rinnegan eye as she screamed in pain.

No one was there to help.

Every Shinobi including Gaara got somewhere safe by being inside a cucoon-like thing.

Skip to where Kaguya is defeated and Hagoromo appearing.

Team 7 returned to the battlefield after defeating Kaguya, and with the help of one-eyed Kyuubi by appearing out if no where and joining the punches they gave Kaguya in order to help as a member of Team 7.

And as Hagoromo congratulated Team 7 of their heroic work and stuff, he a announced that he will get the reanimated back and that made Naruto and his sister Kyuubi immediately go to their father.

"Dad." Naruto was the first to speak.

The sun shine started to appear. The twins gave their father a sympathetic look.

Minato smiled. "That's right... I've been meaning to tell you this..." The sun finally shined fully. "Happy birthday. You've become a splendid man, Naruto. And you as well, Kyuubi."

He started to shine, as a sign of almost going away.

"I promise of telling Kushina everything." said Minato, as he put his hand on his daughter 's no eye place and somehow returned her eye back but it had blood.

Naruto started to speak.

"Tell her not to worry, we eat properly everyday. We're not picky, and that we eat lots of different things!  Like, tonkosu ramen, miso ramen, shoyu ramen. Oh but not all ramen though! I try to bathe everyday. And... and, we've made lots of friends. And they all are good friends! We just turned seventeen today, so I won't  know much about alcohol or girls... But Kyuubi has Gaara though! Not everything Mom told me about went well. But me and Kyuubi are trying our best! I've got dreams too! I'm gonna become an even greater Hokage than you, Dad! And Kyuubi is already a strong Shinobi, when she'll become stronger. I swear I will become a Hokage! So when you see Mom, please tell her that she doesn't have to worry about us! Tell her we're going our best!"

the twins' tear were much more than it was before.

"You have been my strongest provider, you did not only bring us to the world but you loved us and nurture us, I owe you a lot, but death couldn’t allow me pay it all. I love you, Father, t-tell Mother that as well... Remind her, everyday that me and Naruto love you both."

Minato started to go away as he told them his last words. "Got it, I'll make sure I tell her everything."

And he went away.

Kyuubi put her hand on his shoulder as they both cried, more like teared.

The people who were inside those cocoon-like things got free and wondered on whats going on.

After returning to Konoha.

【 Kyuubi's POV 】

"Watch your steps."

Shizune has been doing it again. I frowned. "You know I just turned seventeen and I can walk, right? Besides, my feet aren't even injured!"

She pretended to laugh nervously. "S-sorry! Are you—"

"I'M FINE SHIZUNE!" I screamed. She sweatdropped. "Now you sound more like Lady Tsunade." That made me chuckled and calm down. "Sorry. You may leave me now."

She did when she gave a glance at Naruto and Gaara shaking hands, she understood and left.

The ones who were all surrounding Naruto made way for me and even Naruto after shaking hands.

The way Gaara saw me. That smile is the prettiest thing I've seen in a while, for it extends to your eyes and deep into your soul.

I moved closer to Gaara, had my hands on his shoulders as my head moved closer to him. He stood frozen. I leaned in, so my forehead rested against his. We both closed our eyes. Both our breaths are shaking.

"Thank you," I said in barely more than a whisper. 

"For what?" He replied, his voice low and husky. 

"For being you." My voice wavered, exhilarated from the tension between us. I gently leaned in and kissed Gaara's warms lips for few second and then pulled apart.

And of course that shocked all who are around us except Temari and Kankuro who were probably as I see it fangirling and fanboying.

Suddenly, Naruto anime cried. "Noo! Pulling you two apart hurts!" he dramatically said. And that's actually so hurtful. We have to leave each other since I have to work on being a strong Shinobi while he as a Kazekage do his work. While I don't want that.

"I'll miss you, Gaara. Every second." I said, giving him a sad lip move. He pulled me closer for a hug.

"We'll meet again, I promise. And when we do, I will make you the happiest girl that lived, I will never leave you when that day comes and I swear it on my life." Gaara promised.

And from that day was the last day I saw him in years.
