Naruto brother

hello my name is Naruto uzumaki and I want to be the powerful hokage and I have a big fat crush on sakara and I like ramen

Later that day, Tsuki finds himself at the Hyuga compound listening attentively as Hiashi teaches him about clan law and the responsibilities that come with being a clan head. Tsuki takes everything in with deep concentration, making sure to write down every detail.

Hiashi impresses upon Tsuki the importance of showing respect towards others, especially those who are older or of a higher status. Tsuki takes this to heart and nods in understanding, determined to be a leader who inspires respect and loyalty from those around him.

As the lesson continues, Tsuki realizes that being a clan head is no easy task and that it will require a lot of hard work and dedication to succeed. However, he also feels a sense of pride in being entrusted with such an important role and is excited to learn more about how he can fulfill his duties to the best of his ability.

As Tsuki walks away from his lesson with Hiashi, he spots Naruto and the rest of the group of teams and feels happy to see them.

Ino gives him a warm smile and greets him with a friendly wave. Kiba and Akamaru bark in excitement as they run up to him, followed by Shino who greets him with a nod. Hinata greets him softly, her eyes sparkling with kindness. Choji offers him a bag of chips while Shikamaru mutters a lazy "hey". Sakura greets him with enthusiasm and asks about his day.

Finally, Tsuki approaches Naruto with a grin and says, "Hey, gee gee, just coming from a lesson." He doesn't go into details about what the lesson was about, but Naruto nods in respect for Tsuki's dedication to learning and says, "That's

Tsuki notices Naruto eating his eighth bowl of ramen and shakes his head in disbelief. "How much ramen do you even eat, Naruto? You're like a black hole for food!" he grins teasingly, earning a chuckle from the group.

As he yawns like a cat, everyone notices Tsuki's sleepy demeanor and Hinata asks softly, "Did you have a tiring day, Tsuki-san?" Tsuki nods, feeling grateful for her kindness and care, and replies with a small smile, "Yeah, just feeling a bit tired, Hinata-san. But I'm happy to be here with all of you."

As the group continues their conversation, Sakura suddenly asks Tsuki if he has a crush on anyone. Ino quickly chimes in, eager to know too.

Tsuki thinks for a moment, then shrugs nonchalantly. "Nah, not at the moment, but I have things in mind," he replies with a playful smirk. Naruto jumps in, eager to be Tsuki's wingman, and offers his help.

Tsuki can't help but burst out laughing at Naruto's suggestion. "You? A wingman?" he exclaims through giggles, causing everyone to laugh too. They all share a light-hearted moment, enjoying each other's company and joking around.

Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Tsuki are in training together under the watchful eye of Kakashi-sensei. Naruto is practicing Taijutsu since his academy training left much to be desired. Sasuke is working on his chakra control. Sakura is trying to balance both.

Tsuki however, was undergoing an intense training regimen. Kakashi-sensei had tasked him with honing his chakra control, knowing that as a jinchuriki, Tsuki needed to be able to manage his massive chakra levels effectively.

As he practiced, occasionally struggling to maintain balance while channeling his chakra, Tsuki grumbled quietly. "I wish I never had to train this much," he muttered. Kakashi-sensei's eyes crinkled in amusement, forming his characteristic U-shape smile. Despite Tsuki's complaints,

Kakashi-sensei could tell that Tsuki was taking his training seriously, which pleased him greatly.

"Tsuki, training is hard work, but it's necessary if you want to become a great shinobi," Kakashi-sensei said, with a hint of kindness in his voice. "Besides, as a jinchuriki, you have an even greater responsibility to master your chakra control."

Tsuki nodded, understanding the weight of Kakashi-sensei's words. He knew that he had to work hard if he wanted to reach his goals. With a newfound determination, Tsuki gritted his teeth and plunged back into training, determined to prove himself.

Meanwhile, Naruto continued to practice his Taijutsu under Kakashi-sensei's tutelage, Sasuke focused on chakra control techniques, and Sakura worked on balancing both aspects

After their intensive training session, Kakashi-sensei handed everyone a chakra paper to test their elemental affinity. Naruto's chakra pulse through the paper to show a strong affinity for wind. Sakura's chakra transformed the paper to show her strong connection with earth. Sasuke's lightning and fire affinity were evident through the change in the color of his chakra paper.

However, Kakashi-sensei took notice of Tsuki and his odd elemental affinity: blue flames and strong earth affinity. "That makes sense," Kakashi-sensei murmured thoughtfully, a glimmer of revelation in his eye. "With the beast inside you controlling blue flames, it's possible that your odd combination lies in there somewhere."

Tsuki listened intently, silently contemplating the implications of his unique elemental affinity. Perhaps his jinchuriki status had more influence on him than

As their training continued, Kakashi-sensei helped each of them explore their elemental affinities and gave them lessons on jutsu they could use.

He started with Naruto, showing him a few wind techniques that he could use to complement his strong affinity. Sakura got her turn next, with Kakashi-sensei teaching her a range of powerful earth jutsu.

When it was Sasuke's turn, Kakashi-sensei surprised him by changing his course slightly. "Sasuke, I think I will give you lessons on fire jutsu instead," he said. Sasuke looked mildly surprised, but nodded in agreement.

As for Tsuki, Kakashi-sensei gave him two jutsu based on earth and fire, which he was delighted to receive. Happy to have learned new techniques, Tsuki grinned at the others, and they

each had different reactions. Naruto pumped his fist in excitement, Sakura clapped her hands with glee, and Sasuke raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

Feeling a bit embarrassed by all the attention, Tsuki looked away. Inwardly, he was thrilled to have received such powerful jutsu to add to his arsenal. With each passing day, he was becoming a stronger shinobi, and that filled him with pride.

As Tsuki tried to hide his embarrassment, he scratched his head and let out a soft purr of contentment. However, when he looked around and saw the others staring at him in surprise, he realized that his behavior might have been a little odd.

Feeling even more embarrassed, Tsuki stopped purring abruptly and tucked his chin into his collar. "S-sorry," he mumbled, feeling slightly mortified. "It's just something I do sometimes when I'm happy, I can't help it."

His face flushed with embarrassment as he tried to explain himself, wishing he hadn't drawn so much attention to himself. But deep down, he couldn't help his little quirks and tendencies, even if they were a bit embarrassing.

Tsuki's thoughts wandered as they finished up their training session. He couldn't help but feel frustrated with himself for his unusual tendencies. "Damn that beast has more of an effect on me than it should," Tsuki thought, clenching his fists in frustration. "I can't keep acting like this."

The next day, the team was excited to receive a new mission from the Hokage. However, when they were introduced to the bridge builder Tazuna, things got off to a rocky start. Naruto insulted Tazuna, prompting Kakashi to cover his mouth, while Sakura and Sasuke looked annoyed and aloof respectively.

But it was Tsuki's calm and respectful response that caught everyone off guard. "We are very capable ninja," Tsuki spoke confidently, channeling the wisdom and guidance he had received from his mentors. "For the pay

you have given us, it is a B to D rank mission, so there should only be bandits. For our squad, we are very capable shinobi, unless you say Hokage-sama's choices are wrong."

The bridge builder was taken aback by Tsuki's words and agreed with him, shocking everyone else. Tsuki's fellow shinobi were impressed by his clear-headedness and diplomatic approach, even in the face of someone who had insulted them.

Tsuki felt a sense of pride wash over him as he saw the shocked expressions on his teammates' faces. It was moments like this where he was reminded that he was growing stronger every day, both physically and mentally. And he was determined to continue improving, no matter what challenges lay ahead.

As Kakashi took control of the situation and instructed the team to gather their things and meet at the gate at a certain time, the Hokage's mind was still reeling from Tsuki's confident words. "Damn Haishi's lessons have completely made Tsuki like this," Hiruzen thought to himself, a look of awe on his face. "He may be closer to being clan head than expected."

Even though Tsuki was still young, the wisdom and guidance he had received from Haishi had clearly rubbed off on him. The Hokage realized that Tsuki had the potential to truly lead his clan one day, if he continued on this path.

Shaking his head clear of these thoughts, the Hokage refocused his attention back to the team's mission. He had high hopes for them, knowing that they were skilled and determined to succeed. As he

As everyone arrived at the gate, they each had their own reaction to seeing each other. Sakura tried to initiate conversation with Sasuke, but he gave short or no response at all. Naruto and Tsuki, on the other hand, excitedly talked and joked with one another.

Kakashi arrived on time, as expected, and led the way with his trademark calm demeanor. The bridge builder Tazuna followed behind him, while Kakashi read his perverted book without a care in the world.

The team set forth on their journey with a mix of excitement and nervousness. They knew that this mission would not be an easy one, but they were determined to succeed no matter what challenges lay ahead. Tsuki was grateful for the opportunity to hone his skills as a ninja, and hoped that he could continue to prove himself worthy of his place on the team.

As Team 7 walked past a seemingly innocent puddle, they were caught off guard as the puddle suddenly transformed into two people with chains attached to their hands. In a split second, the two attackers had tied Kakashi up in their chains and proceeded to attack him, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

The team was shocked and horrified by what they were seeing, but quickly sprang into action. Naruto and Tsuki used their chakra chains to subdue one of the attackers and swung him down, while the other brother was slammed into a tree with Naruto's powerful wind jutsu. Sasuke, still reeling from the shock, regained his senses and unleashed a powerful Great Fireball Jutsu that burned the remaining attacker to a crisp.

Kakashi, who the team thought was dead, suddenly popped up and commended them on a job well done

, leaving them all stunned and speechless.

Sakura, who had stayed in the background and felt useless during the battle, was beating herself up for not being able to help. She vowed to become stronger and contribute more to the team in the future.

As the team continued on their mission, they were left to contemplate what had just happened. They knew that their journey was far from over, and that they would likely face even greater challenges before it was all over. Nevertheless, they remained resolute in their determination to succeed and bring honor to their village.

After the battle with the demon brothers, Kakashi interrogated them about who had sent them, and why they were trying to kill the team. They eventually revealed that they were hired by a man named Gato, who was using merciless methods to make the poor people of the Wave Country even poorer. Tazuna added that the construction of his bridge would improve the country's economy and help them trade with other villages.

The team agreed to continue with their mission and protect Tazuna and the construction of the bridge. As they walked, they almost fell victim to an attack from Zabuza, a skilled ninja from the Mist Village. Kakashi was able to hold off the attack using his Sharingan, but he exhausted himself and eventually passed out.

When Kakashi woke up, they were in Tazuna's home and the team discussed what had just happened.

Tsuki spoke up and expressed their suspicion that Zabuza was not actually dead and that the hunter-nin had possibly taken his head to the village to claim his death. Kakashi agreed with Tsuki's assessment and warned the team to be prepared for a potential attack from Zabuza.

The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on the team, and Kakashi declared that they would need to train more diligently to prepare for another potential encounter with Zabuza.

As they shared a meal with Tazuna's daughter Tsunami, Imari made a comment about the uselessness of their presence and ran off to his room. Tsunami apologized for her son's behavior as the team ended their night and prepared for the next day's training.

The team continued to train, learning the art of tree-walking and water-walking with varying degrees of success.

As Team 7 continued to protect Tazuna and the construction of the bridge, they had a heated argument at dinner. Imari and Naruto clashed, with Imari expressing his belief that nobody else could understand the pain he had gone through, and Naruto pushing back, saying that everyone has their own struggles.

Tsuki was unable to restrain his anger and slammed his hand on the table, defending Naruto's experiences and pointing out the pain that each member of their team had endured. Inari ran out crying, while Naruto walked into the forest to calm down.

Kakashi followed Inari out the back door to talk to him, while the rest of the team went to bed. The tension in the group was palpable, and it was clear that they were all struggling with difficult emotions.

Naruto woke up in the forest and saw Haku, but it wasn't real. Kakashi was reading a book in Tazuna's living room, while Sakura tried to talk to Sasuke. Tsuki walked down the stairs looking disheveled and clearly struggling with some emotional turmoil. Kakashi observed Tsuki's state but didn't comment on it, simply noting the weight of his past experiences and how they were catching up to him.

In reality, Naruto woke up in the forest and saw Haku. They had a conversation about special people, with Naruto opening up about Tsuki, who he considers to be a brother rather than a cousin.

After reuniting with the rest of the team, Kakashi was reading a book in Tazuna's living room, Sakura attempted to talk to Sasuke, and Tsuki appeared, looking disheveled and clearly struggling with some emotional turmoil. Kakashi noticed Tsuki's state and approached him, sensing that something was wrong.

Ignoring Kakashi, Tsuki went to find Naruto in the forest. He found Naruto and they spoke briefly about the conversation he had with Haku. Naruto noticed that Tsuki was struggling, and asked him what was wrong. Without a word, Tsuki walked towards Naruto and hugged him tightly, tears streaming down his face. Naruto could feel the pain and sadness emanating from Tsuki as he held him, offering comfort and support without needing for any words to be spoken.

As they fought on the bridge, Zabuza attacked Kakashi while Sasuke battled Haku. Naruto attempted to help Sasuke by stepping into the ice mirrors, but was hit by a lucky shot from Haku. Tsuki fought alongside Sakura to protect Tazuna, but when he saw both Sasuke and Naruto seemingly fall in battle, he released an incredible amount of the two-tailed chakra.

Tsuki's attacks defeated Haku, killing him in the process. Tsuki experienced his first kill and was left feeling shaken and disturbed. Kakashi sensed the chakra of Naruto and Tsuki, hurrying the fight before anything else could happen. Zabuza ultimately killed Gato and many of his men, before dying himself and asking to be buried next to Haku.

In the aftermath of the battle, the villagers helped to scare off the remaining

A few days later, as the bridge was completed and the village celebrated, Naruto noticed that Tsuki wasn't speaking. The rest of the group also observed this change in Tsuki's behavior, but didn't comment on it. Kakashi knew that he needed to talk to Tsuki about what he was going through.

Meanwhile, Tsuki was consumed with thoughts about his first kill. His mind raced with guilt and regret, as he struggled with the weight of taking another person's life. Despite being surrounded by celebration, he couldn't shake the haunting memories of the battle and his actions.

A few days later, Kakashi explained the mission to Hokage-sama and the Hokage sighed at the news. He agreed to pay them all a rank amount of money for their successful completion of the mission. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura headed home while Kakashi stayed behind to explain to the Hokage about Naruto and Tsuki's control over the power of the tail beast. The Hokage listened carefully, knowing the importance of maintaining control over such powerful abilities.

Kakashi told the Hokage about how Naruto and Tsuki tapped into the power of their respective tailed beasts during their recent mission in the Land of Waves. The Hokage listened intently, knowing how dangerous it could be if the jinchuriki lost control of their beast's chakra.

"I see," the Hokage said, stroking his beard thoughtfully. "It's possible that their emotions got the best of them, causing them to tap into the chakra of their beasts. But we must make sure that they don't lose control again and wreak havoc upon our village."

Kakashi nodded in agreement. "I'll work with Naruto and Tsuki to help them better understand how to control their tailed beast's chakra and prevent any destructive outbreaks," he said.

The Hokage nodded in approval. "Very well. I have faith in

The Hokage then spoke up again, "In addition to that, I also have another important task that needs to be done. I will bring Jiraiya to check their seals to see if they are still working as they should. We cannot afford to have any breaches in the tailed beasts' containment."

Kakashi nodded in agreement, understanding how important it was to keep the tailed beasts under control. "I understand, Hokage-sama. I will make the necessary arrangements for Jiraiya to come and inspect Naruto and Tsuki's seals."

"Good," the Hokage said with a solemn expression. "We must remain vigilant at all times to ensure that our village and its people stay safe from harm."

With that, Kakashi bowed respectfully and took his leave, knowing that he had an important task ahead of him to help Naruto and Tsuki

Tsuki found himself in a dungeon-like area within his mind, with the two-tailed beast Matatabi in front of him. The female beast growled at him, asking why he had woken her up.

"I don't know how I got here," Tsuki replied, shivering. "I was asleep, and then suddenly I was here."

Matatabi lowered her head and spoke softly, "Never mind that, kitten. How are you feeling?"

Confused by the beast's sudden change in demeanor, Tsuki asked, "Kitten? Why do you call me that? And shouldn't you be a crazed beast trying to come for my neck?"

Matatabi let out a small chuckle before responding, "Well, out of most humans, I do not despise you and see you as my kitten. And as for your second question

, you are mistaken. I am not Kurama. I am Matatabi, the two-tailed beast."

Tsuki nodded slowly in understanding as he took in this new information. He felt a strange mix of fear and awe at being able to communicate with a powerful tailed beast like Matatabi.

"Um...how can we communicate like this?" he asked, still trying to wrap his head around this incredible experience.

Matatabi licked her paw and responded, "It is due to the bond that you share with me, through your status as a jinchuriki. Our chakras are connected, allowing us to communicate within your mind like this."

Tsuki nodded again, still slightly overwhelmed but grateful for the opportunity to speak with Matatabi. He wondered what other secrets and mysteries might be hidden within his own mind.

Tsuki looked quizzically at Matatabi as she referred to the name Kurama. "Wait, who is Kurama?" he asked.

Matatabi looked at Tsuki with a hint of surprise as she replied, "Kurama is the nine-tailed beast that your cousin has. It's the actual name of the beast, not the nickname people usually use."

Tsuki scratched his head as he tried to make sense of it all. "Oh, so Kyubi is not its actual name then. So, what's your name?" he asked Matatabi.

Matatabi purred slightly before responding, "My name is Matatabi, young one. I am the guardian of the two-tailed beast, and I am pleased to meet you."

Tsuki looked quizzically at Matatabi as she referred to the name Kurama. "Wait, who is Kurama?" he asked.

Matatabi looked at Tsuki with a hint of surprise as she replied, "Kurama is the nine-tailed beast that your cousin has. It's the actual name of the beast, not the nickname people usually use."

Tsuki scratched his head as he tried to make sense of it all. "Oh, so Kyubi is not its actual name then. So, what's your relationship with the two-tailed beast?" he asked Matatabi.

Matatabi purred slightly before responding, "I am the two-tailed beast, young one. My name is Matatabi, and I am pleased to meet you."

Tsuki bowed respectfully as he addressed Matatabi. "Hello, Matatabi-sama. I am Tsuki, and I apologize for being so rude in your presence," he said.

Matatabi let out a soft chuckle before responding, "Oh, no. There is no need to be formal with me. As I said earlier, I see you as a kitten, meaning I see you as my child and a sibling."

Tsuki was taken aback by Matatabi's kind words and the level of familiarity she seemed to feel towards him. He thought about this for a moment before asking, "So, you're not mad that your seal is inside me?"

Matatabi shook her head, "No, Tsuki. You are my jinchuriki, my partner. It is an honor to have someone like you as my vessel. I

Tsuki smiled softly as he spoke to Matatabi. "Oh, well really before anything, I would like to say that I don't blame you for being sealed in me. My old village—the Cloud Village—was a bit...reckless with how they handled things."

He hesitated for a moment before continuing, his voice dropping to a whisper, "Also, the torturers..." Tsuki murmured, the memory of his time at the hands of the Cloud Village's sadistic interrogators still fresh in his mind.

Matatabi's eyes softened with understanding as Tsuki mentioned the torture he had endured. "I am sorry that you had to go through all of that, Tsuki," she said. "No one should ever have to endure such pain."

Tsuki looked up at Matatabi, grateful for her words of comfort. "Thank you, Matatabi-sama," he replied. "It means a lot to me to have your support."

Matatabi nodded in understanding before continuing, "You are my vessel now, Tsuki. It is my responsibility to protect you and ensure that you do not suffer any harm."

Tsuki smiled gratefully at Matatabi's reassurance. For the first time in a long while, he felt a sense of safety and comfort, knowing that he had an incredibly powerful ally in Matatabi on his side.

Matatabi tilted her head, acknowledging Tsuki's curiosity. "Ah, Naruto's relationship with Kurama is quite different from yours," she explained. "Kurama, the nine-tails, has a wild and unpredictable nature. It constantly tries to overpower its jinchuriki, Naruto."

Tsuki frowned slightly at the mention of the nine-tails' aggressive behavior. "Does that mean Kurama is dangerous?" he asked.

Matatabi nodded. "Yes, it is dangerous when a tailed beast is unfettered and not managed properly. As I am much calmer and gentler than others, your experiences should be more positive than Naruto's."

Tsuki looked thoughtful as he spoke, "I believe Naruto will be able to change Kurama. Something or someone must have hurt or done something to Kurama to make him act that way. I think Naruto is kind enough to understand him, and he might be the only one who can reach out to him."

Matatabi was surprised by Tsuki's insight, "That is a profound perspective, Tsuki. You are wise beyond your years," she complimented him.

She gazed at Tsuki admiringly before continuing, "You know, you are the only jinchuriki I have ever been nice to, so I suppose there is a chance that Kurama could change under Naruto's influence."

Tsuki chuckled before responding, "Yep, I believe in Naruto too. That's the Uzumaki way."

He then turned to Matatabi with an apologetic expression, "Oh, and I was wondering if I could change this place since it's my mind. It's a bit dark and gloomy."

Matatabi looked around, taking in the environment. "Yes, that is a good idea, Tsuki. This is your mind-world, after all. You have complete control over it. Go ahead and make any changes you see fit," she replied.

Tsuki grinned before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, the previously dark and gloomy scenery had transformed into a bright and welcoming atmosphere, with vibrant colors and beautiful flowers everywhere.

He looked around, satisfied with the result, before turning back to

Matatabi with a proud look on his face. "How does it look, Matatabi-sama?" he asked.

Matatabi was awed at the transformation, her eyes sparkling with delight. "It looks wonderful, Tsuki! You have a great imagination," she praised him.

Tsuki's smile grew wider at the compliment. He had never felt so confident before and he was glad that he could impress his new companion in some way.

"Now that you've shown me how powerful your mind can be, Tsuki, I have no doubt that you'll be able to achieve great things in the future," Matatabi said with a nod of approval.

Tsuki's face flush with pride at the praise from Matatabi. He was determined to not let her or himself down and strive to improve every day.

Tsuki yawned, feeling a bit tired, and walked over to Matatabi, resting his body on the soft tail of the feline-like beast. It was quite comfortable, and he quickly found himself snuggled up like a cat, slowly drifting off to sleep.

As Tsuki slumbered, Matatabi watched over him protectively, her eyes shining in the dim light of the mind-world. She knew that the boy had been through a lot, and it warmed her heart to see him resting so peacefully.

Careful not to disturb Tsuki's sleep, Matatabi slowly lay down, watching over the young jinchuriki as he rested. The two remained there for some time, a peaceful silence surrounding them as they slept, secure in each other's company.

The next day, Tsuki left the mind-world and found himself back in reality. With a sense of renewed determination and excitement, he got dressed and made his way to Naruto's apartment.

As he approached the door, he took a deep breath before raising his hand and knocking on the wood, unsure of what to expect.

After a few moments, the door opened, revealing Naruto standing in front of him. "Tsuki! What brings you here?" he asked, a big grin on his face.

Tsuki felt a bit nervous but smiled back, "Hey, Naruto. I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out today? Maybe get some candy apples or something?" he suggested.

Naruto's grin grew wider, excited at the prospect of spending time with a new friend. "That sounds great! Come on in and we'll make some plans," he

Tsuki followed Naruto inside and they sat down in the living room. As they began to discuss their plans for the day, Naruto referred to Tsuki as his "lil bro."

Tsuki's expression soured a bit at the comment and he spoke up with a hint of annoyance, "And for the last time, Naruto, I am not your 'lil bro.' We just met yesterday, remember? We're both the same age, so you can be my big bro if you want, but I am not your little brother. Jeez!" he huffed as he looked away.

Naruto blinked, surprised by Tsuki's reaction but then grinned, seeming to understand. "Okay, okay, got it, Tsuki. You're right. From now on, we're just friends," he said with an apologetic smile.

Tsuki

Tsuki, still looking a bit annoyed, tried to make his point again. "For the last time, Naruto," he took a deep breath and continued more firmly, "call me lil bro. I call you big bro. Remember?"

Naruto blinked at Tsuki's statement but nodded, understanding the importance of honoring their new friendship before it even began. "Alright, Tsuki. You're right. If we're friends, then I'll just call you 'lil bro,' and you can call me 'big bro.' Sounds good?"

Tsuki nodded with a sigh of relief. "Yeah, that's better," he replied, still carrying a hint of frustration but now with a sense of understanding from Naruto. With that issue resolved

Tsuki tried to emphasize their connection. "For the last time, Naruto," he took a deep breath and continued more firmly, "if we're cousins, just call me lil cuz. I call you big cuz."

Naruto blinked at Tsuki's statement and then grinned, realizing this was actually true. "Oh... right! We are cousins, huh? That makes sense," he said with a chuckle.

Tsuki smiled slightly, feeling relieved now that they had acknowledged their true relationship. "Yeah, so let's just stick with 'lil cuz' and 'big cuz,' alright?" he suggested, indicating that he was comfortable with this arrangement.

Naruto nodded in agreement. "Alright, Tsuki. From now

Tsuki sighed, feeling the need to clarify their relationship once more. "Denver, what I said," he spoke loudly enough to be heard over the noise in the room, "we are cousins. But I see you as a brother. So call me 'lil bro.' I keep having to tell you this from academy! I mean big bro!" he huffed, emphasizing his point.

Naruto listened carefully and then nodded, finally understanding. "Alright, Denver. You're right. We're family, but since we've known each other for so long, we can just call each other 'lil bro' and 'big bro.'"

Tsuki smiled with relief. "Thanks, big bro," he said, his frustration easing away as they settled into their newfound understanding.

Later that day, after they had spent some time together, Tsuki decided to share an exciting development with Naruto. "You know something?" he said excitedly, "I talked to my tail beast for the first time today!"

Naruto's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? How was it? They can be a bit intimidating sometimes, but I heard they're really nice once you get to know them," he remarked, curious about Tsuki's experience.

Tsuki nodded, grinning from ear to ear. "Yeah, she was really great! She actually has a personality and seems quite interesting. We got along surprisingly well," he reported, clearly pleased by the interaction.

Naruto smiled too. "That's awesome, Denver! It's important to connect

Tsuki smiled, feeling happy to share some exciting news with his cousin. "You know, Naruto," he said with a bright tone, "I talked to my tail beast for the first time today and she's actually really nice!"

Naruto's eyes widened in surprise and interest. "Wow, really? That's amazing! How did it go?" he asked, keen on hearing more.

"It was great," Tsuki replied, his excitement evident in his voice. "She has a personality and she seemed genuinely interested in talking to me. We got along well," he shared, still in awe of the experience.

Naruto smiled. "I'm glad that you had such a positive experience, Tsuki," he said, happy for his younger cousin. "Say, lil bro, have you thought about asking her for some training tips? Maybe she could teach

Tsuki's eyes lit up with the suggestion. "Oh, that's a great idea! I didn't really think about asking her for training tips, but I'll definitely do that," he said, grateful for Naruto's suggestion.

As Tsuki was talking, he suddenly remembered something else. "Hey, Naruto, did you know that the Nine Tails is called Kurama?" he asked, looking curiously at Naruto.

Naruto's expression changed as he heard the name mentioned. "Yeah, I know. Kurama and I have a bit of a history together," he replied, somberly thinking back on all that he had experienced because of the Nine Tails.

Suddenly, Naruto heard Kurama's voice echoing in his head. "How dare that stupid cat tell someone my name," the Nine Tails growled, annoyed that his name had been

Tsuki's eyes lit up with the suggestion. "Oh, that's a great idea! I didn't really think about asking her for training tips, but I'll definitely do that," he said, grateful for Naruto's suggestion.

As Tsuki was talking, he suddenly remembered something else. "Hey, Naruto, did you know that my tail beast has a name?" he asked, looking curiously at Naruto.

Naruto tilted his head in confusion. "No, I don't seem to remember. What's your tail beast's name?" he responded, not having information on this particular topic.

Tsuki smiled widely. "It's called Kurama!" he exclaimed, excited that he could share this new piece of information with Naruto.

Tsuki smiled at his cousin as he remembered a conversation he had with his own tail beast. "Hey, Naruto, I spoke with my tail beast, and she told me her name," he said cheerfully.

Naruto raised an eyebrow in interest. "Really? And what's the name?" he asked curiously.

"It's Matatabi," Tsuki revealed. "And did you know that yours is called Kurama?" he continued, feeling proud that he knew something that Naruto didn't.

At the mention of his own tail beast, Naruto grew serious, recalling the demon fox's destructive powers. Suddenly, a voice echoed in Naruto's mind. "How dare that insolent cat tell people my name!" Kurama growled, annoyed that another tail beast would reveal his identity to someone else.

Naruto shook his head, trying to clear his mind of Kurama's angry voice. "Don't worry about it, Kurama. It's not that big of a deal," he thought to himself, hoping to calm the demon fox down.

Turning his attention back to Tsuki, Naruto asked, "What else did Matatabi tell you about your powers? Anything useful?"

Tsuki grinned with excitement. "Yeah, she actually gave me some good advice on how to better control my chakra. I'm planning on trying out her technique tomorrow during training," he replied, eager to test out his new skills.

"Awesome, let me know how it goes!" Naruto encouraged him with a thumbs up.
