talking with dad with a tamed fox

Naruto was laying down in a clearing with his arms resting behind his head. his eyes closed and it looked like he was sleeping but in reality, he was talking to his father. "so dad any tips on fighting ice users," he asked.

"Not any more than what Kakashi had already told you. I never fought one personally," said Minato. "Those combination jutsu's Kakashi is having you and Sasuke learn should help but," he started to say before trailing off.

"But it would require Ego king to be willing to work with me. he has gotten a little better, but he would still want to try on the ice user by himself first to prove his strength," said Naruto.

"True," said Minato. "Also, I believe you guys have been ignoring one thing."

"What is that" asked Naruto.

"Gato will know when the fight is going to happen and may try to get insurance on stopping the bridge or just want vengeance on Tazuna for defying him," said Minato.

"You think he will go after his family," said Naruto.

"Yeah, I do," said Minato.

"Do you think it would be ninja or those bandits he has hired," asked Naruto.

"I don't see Zabuza working well with other ninja so most likely those bandits," said Minato.

"Okay so leaving a few clones should be enough to protect them," said Naruto.

"Yes, and if needed they can get a little boost," he said with a smirk.

Naruto was confused for a moment till his eyes widen and he has a large smile. "You mean," he started to say.

"Yep, kyu get in here," said Minato. walking into the room on all fours was the Kyuubi in human form wearing only a collar with a leash attachment. her eyes looked at the pair with devotion and none of the anger that was visible last time. "The seal finished her off yesterday," said Minato.

the pair were about to discuss what to do next with the fox before she spoke up, "masters someone just had a burst of negative emotion towards young master."

"The fox can sense negative emotions so you should return to the real world and see what that is about," said Minato.

"Got it," said Naruto before he returned to the waking world. looking up he saw someone standing above him.
