I am Naruto but where is Kurama!?

Jiraiya was in his office going over the mountains of paperwork he was swamped with and looked ready to run away and never return to Konoha.

" This is ridiculous. Why does the Hokage need to authorize a new width and thickness of headbands? What's wrong with what we got now?"

He muttered to himself, wanting nothing more than to get back to his research and writing his latest novel, which was almost ready to be published, Make-Out Tactics. The Fifth Hokage heard a knock on his door, and he replied.

" Come in. Ah, you're finally here for your new mission."

Jiraiya smiled at the Shinobi who came in and put aside his paperwork for the moment to focus on giving out the mission he was personally assigned.

" Now I know with your skills and abilities you are over qualified for watching over Naruto, but it is needed since he can't be left alone as he actually Reverse Summoned himself and got a probationary contract with the Fox Clan when he was under house arrest. What a troublesome brat, am I right?"

The Shinobi smirked at the information and said.

" He's ballsy for a kid, I'll give him that."

" Ballsy is putting it mildly. He has no respect for authority, whether it's his Chunin Instructors or even me, the Hokage. He actually tried to kick me, of all people, in the groin when I went to have a word with him."

Jiraiya will never admit that his Godson actually succeeded in landing that blow as he would never live it down otherwise. The Shinobi whistled, either impressed by Naruto's action or by actually trying to attack the Hokage within Konoha. The Shinobi then asked.

" If he's that unrestrained, no wonder you feel like Chunin aren't enough to keep him out of trouble and want to assign a Special Jonin like me to him."

" It's also your special skill set that I want you to use to teach him respect."

The Fifth Hokage said with an ill-intentioned smile as he lost what little patience he had for Naruto. The Shinobi grinned as they said.

" Really now, getting hired to bully an orphan kid in the name of babysitting him and with me of all people. What did he actually do to piss you off so much, Lord Fifth?"

" I just figured out he's only willing to learn the hard way about a lot of things."

With that, Jiraiya assigned the Special Jonin to Naruto Uzumaki.

________________________________________

I woke up with my neck feeling sore as I found myself in my bed. I rubbed my neck as I checked the time and wasn't sure if it had been a few hours or longer. I took out my Kunai knife to draw some blood, then used the Summoning Jutsu to see if the three assigned to me were fine, as they clearly had an encounter with Jiraiya and his summons from what I remembered from my chat with the Old Toad.

With a puff of smoke, Senko, Haruhime, and Soushi appeared.

" Apologies for our tardiness, Naruto-kun."

Senko said with a bow, and I asked.

" I have been knocked out. How has it been since you went out exploring Konoha?"

" That was yesterday, Naruto-kun."

" F*cking old pervert!"

I cursed at Senko's answer and at Jiraiya for knocking me out. Suddenly, my stomach growled, and I realized I was starving.

" Um, Senko, are the groceries from yesterday still good if you got a chance to shop."

The petite fox girl smiled as she answered.

" I will get started on a late breakfast then."

" Thank you."

I thanked Senko and looked at the other two kitsunes as I thought back to Jiraiya's accusation that the fox clan was eating their Summoners and decided I didn't care. So far, they have been nothing but good to me, and if they wanted to eat me, I would be fox sh*t already. Haruhime came up to me and asked with an excited expression.

" Naruto-san, can you get back to that story from the other day? I really want to know what happens to Momonga!"

I smiled as I replied.

" Sure, what about you, Soushi? Any interest in hearing a story to pass the time?"

" Might as well."

He replied with a shrug as he sat at my dining table, and Haruhime took out a cushion from a storage scroll to sit in a seiza position. I picked up where I left off after giving the fox boy a brief recap of what I had already gone through, then placed the two of them under a Genjutsu to tell the story. Senko also asked to join in as she cooked.

" I mind placing me under the Genjutsu as well? Haruhime-chan loves stories, so I am curious about what's gotten her so excited but don't worry, I can keep on cooking with no issue."

" Okay, if you are sure."

I extended the Genjutsu to Senko as I went through the story of Overlord. This storytime serves as a test to see if popular stories from Earth could spread with the right adaptation. If not, I have a few original ideas to try that use new genre types that don't exist in this world, like a Ninja Isekai and some High Fantasy. I continued my story.

" Momonga ordered the Maids and Head Butler to kneel as he sat down on the Grand Throne. As time ticked closer to the end of Yggdrasil, the Eclipse examined Albedo, including the history and lore that was made for her. Momonga sighed as he saw the sheer amount of information contained within her and remembered who designed her. Tabula Smaragdina, a Brain Eater, a lover of Gap Moe and Horror, a Settings Maniac, and another dear friend that is sorely missed."

I displayed an image of Tabula Smaragdina, and everyone looked unnerved by the tentacled monster with a humanoid formed. I went on with my retelling of Overlord.

" Momonga was stunned by the last entry of Albedo's setting, which made her a b*tch. He sighed wryly as he recalled his friend's love of Gap Moe, where the contrast between appearance and attitude was made appealing. The Eclipse felt it was a bit pitiful for the end and felt a small change was fine as everything was going to end anyway. So he changed the setting to being madly in love with him while feeling embarrassed by his choice of change."

Haruhime giggled along with Senko, and Soushi nodded in understanding of what I didn't know.

" Momonga rested his eyes as only a minute was left until the end with thoughts of what he needed to do next: work at his job, where he is little more than a replaceable cog in a massive machine—time ticked by until finally midnight; however the end didn't come. The Eclipse opened his eyes, wondering what was going on, until he heard a voice. He looked at the source of the voice, and it was Albedo looking at him with concern and worry.

But that was impossible. She wasn't supposed to be able to speak, to express herself as she was supposed to be nothing but an illusion that his friend created. What was going on?"

Senko finished making breakfast as I continued the story of Overlord until the end of the first volume I remembered. Everyone ate together, and Haruhime was eager for more.

" What happened next, Naruto!? After saving Gazef and finding out he was in a new world, what did Momonga do next!?"

" I will continue the story another time, Haruhime-san."

The blonde fox girl pouted at me for not continuing the story, but I needed to cross-check what I remembered of Overlord before going forward. It wasn't just Naruto the Manga, and Anime I wrote down, but all the series I can remember as plagiarism doesn't cross dimensions, but writing was just one money-making idea I had. I am also trying to recreate various popular sodas, as carbonated water is a thing here, but no unhealthy, sugary sodas.

Now, what am I going to do now? I might have summoned the three of them, but I don't need them right now as I am still under house arrest for who knows how long.

" Naruto-kun, a word."

I looked at Senko and replied neutrally.

" Yes?"

" What do you plan on doing from now on?"

At her question, I shrugged as I answered.

" Not much of anything, as I plan to lay off Reverse Summoning so my house arrest doesn't get extended indefinitely."

The petite fox girl nodded in understanding and said.

" In that case, then once your punishment is over, I would like to introduce you to some friends of mine. Is there anything you would like to learn as a Shinobi?"

" Sealing Jutsu!"

My answer was immediate, and Senko smiled as she chuckled.

" I know just the kitsune to help you with that."

Now, I am excited as a proper teacher in Sealing Jutsu, which is big, very big, as it opens doors for some of my plans for the future, especially against the Ōtsutsuki Clan. As I got excited about some hypothetical Seals I had in mind, I heard a knock on my door.

" Who's here this early in the morning?"

I muttered to myself. As it can't be Tenten or Hinata as they had to go to the Academy today. It had better not be Jiraiya again. I opened the door to see an unfamiliar face, a purple-haired woman with pupilless light brown eyes, and she wore a body stocking with nothing but an overcoat and skirt on. She felt vaguely familiar, but her name escapes me.

" And you are?"

I asked while feeling guarded, and the woman smirked as she answered.

" Anko Mitarashi, Special Jonin, and your new handler under the orders of the Hokage."

Ah, Anko! I knew she was familiar for some reason! Oh, Anko, f*ck. I cursed in my head.

" F*ck you, Jiraiya! You just had to assign this sadist to me. Well, if you wanted to piss me off, you Old Toad, you f*cking succeeded. I owe you nothing now, certainly not peace."

My plans on making Jiraiya miserable and/or dead will have to wait. I need to survive this sadist first. I did the first thing that came to mind: close and lock the f*cking door, but she stuck her foot in my doorway before I could close my door.

" Hey, now, I am supposed to keep an eye on you."

She said with a playful smile, and I retorted as I as tried to crush her foot with my door.

" As a Special Jonin, I am certain you can do that outside my apartment, Mitarashi-san."

" Mitarashi-san? And here I heard you are a disrespectful little idiot."

" Oh, I am respective, just selectively respective, Mitarashi-san. Would you please remove your foot from my doorway? I would like to close and lock my door."

Anko started to try and push herself into my apartment and I called for back-up.

" Soushi, a little help here would be appreciated!"

" What's the matter, Naruto-san?"

The fox boy came over along with Senko and Haruhime. The sadist commented at seeing Soushi.

" Oh, this one of the infamous kitsune from yesterday? Aren't you a pretty boy? You must be popular."

" Thank you for the compliment, and my popularity is relative."

The fox boy came over and sniffed at Anko, then said.

" You smell of Snakes. Are you contracted to Ryuchi Cave?"

" Yeah, I heard the Fox Clan and the Snakes of Ryuchi Cave are enemies."

" That is ridiculous. How can food be an enemy of its eater?"

Soushi said with mock indignation, and I reminded him.

" Soushi, less talking, more helping!"

" Oh, of course, Naruto-san."

The fox boy started to help me close my door, and Anko said as she tried to force her way in.

" Hey, I am your Summoner's handler for the duration of his house arrest. Shouldn't you let me in!?"

" Apologies, but I am sure you can manage just fine from outside Naruto-san's apartment. You're clearly above a Chunin."

And I added politely.

" Forgive me, Mitarashi-san, but you look like trouble, and I have had my fill of trouble. Please try again next century."

I did not want to deal with a sadist and Snake summoner as I just wanted to peacefully get my house arrest over with before I started driving Jiraiya up the wall with pranks. With Soushi's help, I finally managed to close and lock my door. Of course, I didn't stop there as I barricaded it next with the limited amount of furniture I had in my apartment. With a sigh, I went back to my living/kitchen/dining room/bedroom and sat down on my bed.

" Naruto-kun, what do you wish to do for now?"

" Train and wait for my house arrest to be over for the most part, and possibly plan to kill the Hokage while I am at it."

I answered Senko as I thought about what to do for the day. I heard glass shatter, and I shot up from my bed to see Anko entering my apartment from my window. I sighed as I really didn't want to deal with this sh*t.

" Oh? You already had breakfast without me?"

The Sadist said after sniffing the air a bit, and calmly retorted with exasperation.

" F*ck you, and pay up to fix the window you just broke!"

" First, I already told you I am your new handler until further notice so I have to keep an eye on you regardless of what you think. Secondly, f*ck you too kid."

I looked at Soushi and asked since he is technically my bodyguard.

" Can you deal with her?"

" Certainly."

He replied with a smile and summoned a katana before asking with a neutral smile.

" Would you be so kind as to leave before I have to get rough, Mitarashi-san?"

" I like to see you try, pretty boy!"

Anko responded belligerently as she took out a kunai. Before it could escalate, Senko clapped to everyone's attention.

" Now, now, before we go any further, I have a question for you, Mitarashi-san."

" And that would be?"

The petite fox girl approached the sadist and asked.

" What are the exact details of your mission?"

" Why should I explain myself to you?"

Anko asked back, and Senko narrowed her eyes as she said.

" Because it will decide whether or not you need to be dealt with."

" Ha, like you can-."

Anko's sentence died in her throat, and her confident demeanor faded as her eyes grew blank and empty. I looked at Senko with curiosity at what she did, and she looked back at me with a light smile as she explained.

" While I do not enjoy fighting, I am skilled in Genjutsu."

" Oh, can you teach me a bit about Genjutsu then? The Academy really doesn't cover it as it focuses on teaching its students how to identify and break out of Genjutsu."

" That's the plan, but later. Let's see what the Hokage plans to do with you by assigning this woman to you."

The petite fox girl focused on the sadist while forming the Ram hand sign and asked.

" What is your mission?"

" To keep an eye on Naruto Uzumaki."

Anko answered neutrally, and Senko pressed for more answers.

" Anything else?"

" Lord Fifth also wants me to instill discipline and respect into Naruto Uzumaki."

I rolled my eyes at that bit, and it only made my disdain for Jiraiya grow. The petite fox girl also then demanded.

" Mitarashi-san, shouldn't you also pay for the window you broke?"

" Yes."

The Sadist blankly answered as she took out her wallet and took out some Ryo. Senko grabbed the money and gave it to me.

" Here, Naruto-kun, I think this should cover your window."

" Thanks, Senko, but what now?"

I asked as I looked at the zoned-out Anko, feeling impressed by the Genjutsu the Special Jonin was under. The petite fox girl held her chin as she thought before answering.

" Hmm, unfortunately, it seems you are stuck with our guest here since she has to keep an eye on you, and you want to peacefully end your house arrest. I recommend exercising patience for now."

" I guess I got no choice."

My shoulders sagged at the thought of dealing with Anko on a regular basis, but Senko has a point. If I want to finish my house arrest, I need to tolerate the Special Jonin until then since if she suddenly disappeared or forgot her assignment, it would only extend my punishment. I sighed, and the petite fox girl released her Genjutsu.

" Like you do anything to stop me!"

Anko finished her sentence, and Senko simply smiled mysteriously as she said vaguely.

" Maybe, maybe not."

I had stopped myself from cracking a smile at the Special Jonin, being none the wiser at being placed under a Genjutsu just moments ago. I then told Anko.

" If I am stuck with you, at least pay to fix the window you just broke, and if you can't even do that, then sit in a corner out of the way."

" Who says you can make demands, kid?"

She asked with a smug look, and I got a bit annoyed as I honestly thought asking her to pay for the window she broke wasn't too much to ask for, even if I already had her money. However, if she flat-out refuses to do so, I have no reason to treat her like a guest. I asked Soushi.

" Can you restrain her?"

" With pleasure."

The fox boy disappeared with a Body Flicker Jutsu and reappeared behind Anko. The Special Jonin tried to stab him with her Kunai but suddenly found herself bound, tortoise shell style with black rope. I clapped as I was honestly impressed by how quickly Soushi pulled that off, and he gave a mock bow at my applause with a playful smile. Even Haruhime joined in on giving him applause despite the blush she had.

" Hey, you honestly think that you can stop me with some rope!"

Anko said as she tried to break free, and her confident expression morphed into confusion as she asked.

" Why can't I use the Rope Escape Jutsu?"

" I hit a few of your Chakra points, Mitarashi-san, so your Chakra is currently suppressed for the time being."

" Do you have the freaking Byakugan or something?!"

The Special Jonin exclaimed in surprise, and Soushi answered with a light smile.

" It's, or something, as I just have a lot of experience, and anyone can hit the right Chakra Points with enough know-how."

" Mind moving her out the way so I can get started on training, Soushi-san?"

I asked, and the fox boy complied as he moved Anko to a corner out of the way.
