Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5466600/6/It was for this place, these people, and his comrades that he was doing this. It was worth it, but damned if it didn't hurt. He could tell that his body was changing—the blinding headaches that reached him even in the seal, the increasing awareness of the outside world… his brain was slowly catching up with his almost-seventeen year old consciousness bit by painful bit.
It was at times like this that he was actually grateful for the Kyuubi. After extracting a promise from the demon that he wouldn't fiddle with Naruto's DNA to engineer his early release—or alter his physiology so he wasn't entirely human—the demon had spewed some gibberish about tissue density, brain activity and other junk that Naruto had no idea how to comprehend in between rants about the inferiority of Naruto and his kin. Apparently, thanks to the Kyuubi, the density of Naruto's brain matter was three times that of a normal human's and its activity, which usually decreased as a human aged, would remain unchanged.
Naruto wasn't sure whether this increased density was a good thing; his friends had always gone on about how dense he was—did this make their claims legitimate in some weird, twisted way?
When the fox started talking about increased information processing, dumping, and the delicate process of manually developing the neurons in his brain, forging the connections between them, all in relation to the habits and quirks of his actual personality, and then pruning them, Naruto tuned out—it sounded like the Kyuubi was discussing the makings of exotic technology.
The pseudo-teen wondered how the Kyuubi knew all these facts about human anatomy. Maybe it picked up a few things here and there; crushing a few hundred thousand of its chosen prey underneath its massive paws surely told the demon something about their brain density, yes?
Naruto had determinedly ignored the Kyuubi after the demon had taken one look at his dazed expression and declared all his effort at "advancing your pitiful, primate-like composition without expanding your pea-sized brain to astronomic proportions" hopeless. Naruto's stupidity, according to Kyuubi, had nothing to do with his brain's firing power.
What a jerk.
