Title : The 9th Gate
Summary : Instead of learning the Shadow Clones, Naruto goes for something cooler : The 8 Inner Gates. Kurama, seeing an opportunity, interferes with his Chakra and ready to get out only to get his Chakra stolen. Watch as a tug of war between host and Bijuu starts. Weak to OP!Naruto.
Note : Naruto is 15 whilst the rest of Konoha 9 are still 13 years old because he canonically failed the graduation tests 2 times. That means anyone but him stays the same age.
Note 2 : To balance out the fic, Naruto will not learn the Shadow Clones Jutsu until much later, and even if he did, I'm still battling with the idea of changing the 'training' with clones aspect so that he just doesn't become OP in a day or something. Let me know what you think.
Pairing : Naruto x Karin

Chapter 1 : Clones sucks, let me learn something better instead
Abandoned Clearing – Naruto
"Shadow Clones Jutsu ? Ohhhh, I don't want to learn that crap" Naruto said with a whine as he skimmed through all the Jutsus inside the scroll.
He passed some of them, peculiarly one about some reincarnation crap that seemed way too dark for his taste before his eyes settled on one in specific.
The 8 Inner Gates.
He smiled wildly "Now that is a good technique" he said as he started to read more about the technique.
As he delved into it, he couldn't understand much except that – if he somehow opened those 'gates', he'd gain immense power !
"Just what I needed !" He shouted – completely fired up as he read on how to open them.
The goal was to open them in one trait, like ripping off a band-aid that was wrapped around his body and lash out with all his might.
He read the instructions for the first gate :
The Gate of Opening (開門, Kaimon), located in the brain's left hemisphere, removes the user's mental inhibitions. Opening this gate allows the user to perform the Front Lotus (see below instruction), a technique that tires them afterwards
He never read the rest of the instructions, something about being physically strong enough – he was the strongest after all ! and as he heard a distant shout of annoyance, he closed his eyes, letting his chakra slowly approach his head as he tried to locate the said brain's left hemisphere.
He didn't know what that 'hemisphere' crap was, but he knew the definition of brain and left so he'll have to work with that.
As he stayed with his eyes closed, he tried to find the said gate as his chakra slowly sipped into the left of his brain.
As he did so, another being with vile intention smiled as He helped him redirect his Chakra to the exact place.
"Yosh ! Found it Dattebayo !" He shouted with his eyes still closed, and before he could about it in depth, he pushed a huge chunk of his chakra into the gate with all his might at is it filled him open.
Suddenly, his eyes opened in pure agony, a foreign red and corrosive chakra invaded the gate and started to eat away at his as they battled for the place and a silent scream escaped his lips.
He looked down as he felt something painful invading his chest.
A strange whirlpool with 8 strange spikes all written in a strange language and some ink appeared on his stomach.
One of the spikes, the top left one, blinked in light and black, flickering between the two as he saw a strange light carving the middle of his chest as if cutting his body in half clean.
He felt on the ground unconscious before he could stop it.

Same time – Naruto's landscape, Kyuubi
Kyuubi or Kurama was a creature made of pure Chakra and hatred.
It was the strongest of them all, using it might to crush the village, and bla bla bla.
When he got possessed by Madara Uchiha, he'd been pissed by the guys balls to do that but he respected the man because of his strength. Plus killing a few humans had been fun.
After that, that Tree hugging strong bastard Hashirama and his psychotic wife Mito had sealed him inside her like a true badass. He hated them with all his guts, truly, but at least he respected them.
Then came Kushina. At first, he dismissed her, she was just a newborn brat. And as she grew stronger and even caged him to the point of forcing him caged to a freaking boulder for the entirety of his lifetime just because he insulted his hair.
But when the Masked Man liberated him and forced him to go on a rampage. He promised to himself to kill that motherfucker later but he wasn't against killing Shinobis and Civilians alike nor was he against destroying the village so he let him be for now and took advantage of the situation.
He could still feel the tender flesh of Kushina and Minato Namikaze on his claw as he pierced their chests when they tried to protect their kid. Even then, as enemies, he respected those bastards.
And now, as that dumbass kid – failed the Academy Graduation 2 times for god's sake, even his mother had aced it with Kyuubi inside his too, somehow found his way around the Hokage Tower and stole that Forbidden Scroll only to try the only technique that could help his escape, He didn't hesitate.
Fuck that kid and fuck those humans.
He'll kill the boy by sipping his Chakra in his whilst he foolishly tried to open that 1st Gate, flooding said Gate with his Chakra and blow him away before he could even react.
And as he tried to find said Gate with his Chakra – the dumbass was trying to open such Gate with no proper physical conditioning, because yes he read through his eyes the instructions unlike that dumb kid, and no knowledge on the human anatomy – even a 7 year old can understand what left 'hemisphere' meant. He just ignored it and started dabbling with one of the most dangerous Jutsu on earth.
Yes, he was that much of an idiot, so he didn't feel any remorse when He sipped his Chakra into his and removing one more idiot from earth.
"There there" He cooed mockingly as he helped him redirect his Chakra properly into his Gate because he wasn't smart enough to find it himself as he heard someone rushing toward his blonde idiot while screaming and he had to use this opportunity before it was gone.
It clicked, something shifting in his body as he hurryingly added his Chakra into the gate, and he could see the Gate being equally flooded in Naruto blue Chakra and his red one.
At first, nothing happened, as both took 50% of the ground inside the gate, it seemed as if a truce had been made.
But then, out of nowhere, he powered more of his potent and corrosive Chakra as it started to eat away at the Blue Chakra who tried to fight back.
He looked with satisfaction as one of the 8 Trigram Seal spikes started to glow and then go back to normal, flickering between the two as a red velvet and toxic Chakra started to wrap the poor kid as he screamed in agony as a Chakra tail formed behind his back.
Before the blue haired man, who appeared out of nowhere, could intervene, Kurama amusingly forced Naruto to swing at the man's body with his hand mixed with his Chakra had pushed him backward and let him go through multiple trees like a ragdoll before he laid out dead.
He briefly registered the guy as 'Mizuki-sensei' from Naruto's memories as the man's chest was carved in and on itself and poisoned with his Chakra. He was dead, confirmed. Such was his power.
As he looked at the Gate being flooded by 99% from his Chakra with glee, he was sauntering around and preparing himself mentally to finally step outside his cage – finally as he saw the strange light cut that was carved on the kid's body.
Suddenly, the light cut disappeared as a small but vivid scar in a 'X' form carved itself on his body.
But that wasn't the main thing that mattered to him. As he screamed in frustration just when his Chakra had flooded the Gate fully, Naruto's had suddenly surged inside and slowly absorbed his as the poor kid screamed in pure pain.
Slowly but surely, the blue and red mixed together, and the red cloak of a one tailed beast that was around him slowly evaporated with a show of smoke.
Slowly but surely, the blue and red became violet, and before hz could stop it, he felt one Tail of his Chakra vanishing as somehow, Naruto's body had stolen it.
He looked with perplex admiration and curiosity as the red vivid aura that any Host/Bijuus sported when using Bijuus Chakra suddenly disappeared only to be replaced with a faint yellow aura around the 15-year-old brat as an almost invisible yellow tail swinged happily left and right.
"Did this brat just steal my Chakra and somehow purified it ?" He asked incredulously and, technically, He just gave it up to him by mistake.
"I'm gonna kill him" He promised with a threatening and dangerous smile as his red hair swirled around his violently "I'm so gonna kill him. I'm gonna rip him apart, and recompose him, then rip him apart" As he looked at a dumbfounded Naruto looking at his own glowing hands whilst he looked at the 1st Gate's power now brimmed with a strange gold liquid that replaced the violet one "I am so gonna kill that MOTHERFU –"

"What the hell is that , Dattebayo?" wondered Naruto aloud as he looked at the strange yellow aura that was covering him.
The strange cut of light had disappeared, replaced with a deep 'X' cut carved in his body which hurt like HELL, but at least he was alive.
And as he looked down, his abdomen still sported that strange symbol on him. The only difference was that spike that flickered between black and light was now lightened without any sign of changing.
To be honest, he was extremely tired and not smart enough to understand what that meant so he just shrugged it off for now.
As he looked up, he saw the sign of trees that exploded in pieces, his mind slowly remembering what just transpired whilst he was in a sort of trance.
He sprinted toward the body of his teacher, rushing to its emplacement as he suddenly sped up, faster than he ever did before, as if teleporting from his own vision and had to force himself to stop as he staggered backward in a lack of balance.
"What the hell" He looked at his body again, still coated with that strange yellow aura and behind him was a yellow chakra tail that swung around like he was a happy puppy enjoying the light exercise.
As he looked down, his mind churned at what was remaining of the corpse of his teacher Mizuki.
His chest had been carved to a paste, his face etched in horror as the last thing that he saw was the red tail that exploded from him.
The same red tail that was now absent, replaced with the joyful yellow one.
"What the hell ?" He said with disgust as he turned away from the sight of the slowly decomposing body, maintaining himself with a hand on the nearest tree as he double over and started vomiting.
As he vomited, he was interrupted by a voice he instantly recognized "NARUTOOO !" It was Iruka-sensei.
"Shit shit shit" He cursed himself as he doubled over and vomited again.
Just as he turned around to face his teacher that appeared out of nowhere, he was suddenly encircled by a group of 5 ANBUS with their expressionless masks and their black coats hiding their body from everyone.
"Naruto Uzumaki" One of them solemnly declared as he stepped forward "You have been summoned by the Hokage"
He was so freaking screwed. He lifted his hand in surrender as his strange yellow aura followed his movement. His tail made of chakra somehow stood to attention too "I've done nothing I promised"
That's what most culprit said, isn't it ?
