Kurama's chakra didn't change Naruto's body that much.
"You're built like a stick! Your thighs are too thick! You're dumb as a brick! You talk like a hick! You can't even kick! Your face makes me sick! Your hair's a cow-lick! You itch like a tick!" -sasuke when confronted with "naruto" yet again
So basically he's basically going that much more maturr,sophisticated,and wise fanon version of Naruto.Well. This took almost took n hour to write, but this is supposed to show he is neither a naruto not a neji. This event is where he develops his first maturity. Like losing his first tooth.
The unkown emotion is determination. Not the blind naivety of Naruto or the misguided ambition of sasuke. It is the steely reserve that a ninja calls upon when outclassed in every way to stand his ground. It is the overwhelming resolve to improve ourselves that we may be better.
And most importantly, it is what will carry us through any amount of opposition as we do what we were always born to do. Protect our precious people.
Thinks is almost an insult. hmm.So basically he's basically going that much more mature and sophisticated fanon version of Naruto.
[x] Plan: Denial? Isn't that a river?
"I don't get it, sir." You bowed your head to him and forced your eyes shut, trying to push aside the emotions inside of you. He had opened his mouth to speak, but your words forced their way out of you and you talked over him.
"I don't get it. H-How can I be the Kyuubi, sir? How can I be such a monster, someone who destroyed so many people? I'm just. . . I'm just Ryuu, sir. I can't be anything else then that." You looked up again, watching as the Hokage opened his mouth to speak again, but none of the words hit you. Water filled your sight, and you shook, and all you could think of was--monsters--and you weren't, you weren't a. . .
"Y-You must have the wrong boy, Hokage-sama. I'm just. . . I can't be anybody other then who I am. I want to serve Konoha, I want to fight for our country, but. . . I'm going to do that because, because I'm Ryuu, because I want to be Good, not because I'm some. . . some. ." You stop being able to make sensible words. You grabbed at the air in front of you for support, before you shook your head again.
"I'm. . . I'm just Ryuu, sir. And I'm going to be the best Konoha's ever had. So when you find whoever that monster really is, tell them t-to watch out, because I'm going to be stronger, and I'm going to make it so they can never hurt Konoha again."
I would like to conform my vote closer to alioth's, but I think that instead of refusing we are the fox outright. Maybe we can reach a compromise of disbelief and a lurking acceptance. @alioth would you collaborate with me to provide Mayfair a cohesive answer. Since ours are somewhat similar?
[x] Plan: Denial? Isn't that a river?
Oh no my heart is telling me to hug a fictional child
Although I do think that naming a former Fox 'dragon' Is a bit weird, but what can ya do?
I'd really rather not have the character go for lurking acceptance at this point.
As I see it, at the moment, Not!Naruto isn't okay. He's scared, he's confused, he's weak, and he still views the world in Black and White. He doesn't really understand what's going on here, and he really can't understand what's going on here. Viewing himself as the Kyuubi would require himself to view himself as part of that Black, part of that evil that's all throughout the world, and that'd break away at him. Maybe when he's older, he can realize that he was the Kyuubi all along; when he's gotten more of the Kyuubi's powers and memories, and the context to understand them that comes with those things. When he has a better support network, and can come to accept that the being the Kyuubi doesn't mean he has to be evil like the Kyuubi was.
Right now, I think, accepting that he was the Kyuubi would break Not!Naruto. Why would he want to get strong, if he's evil, and if he's spent so much time destroying everything that he loves? Why would he ever trust anyone ever again if they lied to him and didn't tell him that he was the Kyuubi? Was every nice thing that ever happened to him just calculated to not make this horrible monster mad? Refusal/denial, on the other hand, gives him a clear task and test. Become stronger then the Kyuubi, prevent it from every hurting anyone again, and make sure that nobody ever thinks of him as a devil ever again. So for now, complete denial. When he's older and understands more, he can realize that some part of him was the Kyuubi, but he can also realize that by doing everything he could to get stronger and to fight against the Kyuubi, he's made it so that the Kyuubi really can never harm Konoha again.
That was lovely.
Here, have yourself a Soul Shard. It's a bit early for it to be any use yet, but with it you will be able to change a failure into a success OR to request a Canon Omake about a subject of your choice whenever you wish. I won't be giving those too often, so think carefully before using it!
Meanwhile I'm over here reading shit kids say. What the hell is the Hokage even expecting a five year old to say right now, God damn.
Happy as I'm, I feel like voting for @alioth , even though I disagree in parts, out of the sheer quality he put in. Wow, rare times those "I'm going to get stronger and protect people" speeches don't come out cheesy, but touching.A modified version of @TotallyNotEvil 's vote
[X] "So what Sarutobi-sama,I'm still Uzumaki Ryuu" you said with a mixture of anger,betrayal,and defiance.I don't care about what you or anyone else say I did in a previous life, and nothing else! I'm going to be ninja because I want to be a ninja and I will be one of the greats.And I will use this as a opportunity to prove all of you wrong.
You talk about this like Not!Naruto breaking would somehow not be interesting to read.I'd really rather not have the character go for lurking acceptance at this point.

Yes, but it's representative that this character wants to be the 'dragon' that swallows the Fox.It's definitely not part of a cunning plan to call bijuudamas 'hadoukens' if we ever unlock them.
