Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - K
"I'm so glad I'm a being made of chakra," Kurama mumbles, watching upside down the tip of one tail that managed to come unscathed from the whole ordeal.
After crashing several trees with his body, he landed with his ass literally on his face. He has tried using his tails as a way to lessen the impact, and it worked, for the first couple of trees. Not so much after the fourth.
Now, he's sore and so fucking tired he could sleep for a couple of months, but there's a rustle of leaves coming from his left that makes his ears twitch so he guesses now is not the time to rest. He flops his body until his paws rest against the ground once again, and goes into a stance prepared to attack.
And well, strangely, just that action hurts. He wonders how that's possible. He doesn't even have a body or pain receptors.
From what he has learned of Kaguya's ability, he's most likely in another dimension. The plants look familiar and the smell of the atmosphere is almost the same. He's been inside human bodies, or flesh bags as he likes to call them, to recognize what is toxic for them. He's glad they didn't end in one of those previous dimensions with drastic temperatures. He's sure he'd survive easily, but Naruto needs food and water. This dimension is similar enough for it to provide what a human needs to survive. Or that's what he hopes.
The thing making the noise finally comes through the bushes and… is that a human torso crawling towards him?
Okay, so perhaps not similar to his own.
He sniffs the air and yeah, that half-human look-alike is completely dead. Its brain seems to be working though, if that can be considered 'working', of course.
Kurama takes a step forward before stopping mid-action.
Or this dimension has big beings in it, or his height has been reduced. Dramatically.
Crap. Perhaps he has given Naruto a bit too much.
Kurama watches as the being seems lost for a moment, moaning and groaning, looking aimlessly around.
Interesting.
Kicking a rock towards some bushes, Kurama watches as the attention of the being snaps in that direction.
So it reacts to sound then.
He doesn't know if the smell affects them as Kurama doesn't smell of anything, being an entity made of chakra and all that, so he has nothing to test it, but he has been inside a hidden village for so long, stealth is something easy to achieve. The noise he made thanks to his fall may cause him problems so he needs to leave. He's weak and doesn't know how strong they are. Don't seem to be much but he's not going to risk it. His body feels ready to fall apart; he really needs to rest.
Because the truth is that he aches all over.
Weird considering he's energy with a conscience.
He has never been truly defeated to the point he has need to be reformed, but he guesses it must feel like how he feels at the moment. His chakra is unstable as if the briefest moment without concentration is enough to make him disappear into the air and force him into hibernation (The only way for him to recover energy is by being like a plant by absorbing the nature chakra in the air.
But that will probably take years. He's quite fond of that blond brat, even if he loathes to admit it, and Naruto is a magnet for troubles. Kurama needs to find him before he screws things over. Or befriends some enemy he shouldn't. He doesn't have those years.
Reaching all the chakra in the air and compressing it closer to himself so as to avoid it from leaking out, Kurama shrinks even more. His body's no longer the height of a big horse but of a large dog. Is the only thing he can do to conserve energy until he recovers.
He takes a deep, unnecessary breath and launches at the thing crawling, biting its neck and separating its head from the shoulders to then use the last of his energy to run and search for a place where he can rest enough to not end unconscious on the grass. Maybe a cavern or such.
.
Ten minutes later, he finds nothing that could serve as a hideout and he doesn't want to run anymore. He's seen more of those dead walking beings but avoided them to save energy. Kurama's too tired to fight, anyways. However, he's now afraid he'll fall off and succumb to sleep right in this instant. He really needs a nap as he feels like a weight has settled onto his body, carrying him down and he can't just fight it anymore. He needs to sleep at least for an entire day, possibly two, to gain a fair amount of energy. Then he can meditate instead of sleeping.
He looks up and sees a tree with thick branches a couple of meters ahead and yeah, that could work.
He jus hopes nothing disturb his power nap
