Another one, hopefully some of you other guys will find your mojo and start writing again.

Naruto blinked, a brief feeling of nausea washing over him marking the start of a new loop.
He was no cloud-watcher, but those clouds certainly looked bigger to him than clouds usually did, their white hue very strong against the night sky.
Wait a minute...
It wasn't that the clouds were bigger. Rather, it was because he was far, far closer to the clouds than five feet off the ground.
"What the-" the Looper began to say, only to start at his voice. It was far, far deeper than he was used to. Far more guttural, almost like a growl.
With growing trepidation, he stopped looking at the clouds, bringing his gaze down to stare straight forward. On a giant orange-red toad stood a tiny figure, whose blonde hair stood out to Naruto's sharp eyesight, his hands clasped together in the Snake position. Rearing his head down further, Naruto saw the orange paws that were attached to his hands.
Then it began to get cold, a feeling Naruto was easily able to associate with the summoning of the Death God.
"Well, shit." Looks like he was Naruto, Kyuubi no Youko now.
"You can say that again," the Death God spoke as it appeared, its ugly maw sneering at Naruto. "That's what you get for making fun of my looks."
Naruto raised a furry eyebrow (at least, he assumed Kurama, and thus now him, had eyebrows in the first place), before he grinned. Unbeknownst to him, the Yondaime Hokage's heart nearly stopped, as the smiling visage of a giant monster fox was a terrifying thing. "You realise Inari will have your balls for this?"
The Death God gave a shrug. "Rules are the rules. You may be a Looper as old as eternity, but as an actual God I'm still stronger than you, and this mortal IS sacrificing his tasty soul for me to seal you away. Have fun with your fifteen years or so. Don't worry," The Death God hastily added as Naruto began to growl, "You won't have anywhere near the same restrictions on meeting your vessel as your old tenant did."
The wreath turned around to Minato, before swinging its oversized scythe down, causing the blonde man dressed in white to collapse like a puppet no longer controlled by its swings. Turning back to Naruto, he continued, "I'm really sorry about this, by the way." Funny, he really didn't sound like it to Naruto as the scythe came down racing towards him.
A split second of pain he hadn't felt in eons, and then the odd feeling of his very soul being cut from his chakra body, before the essence that made him Naruto was compressed, and then stuffed into a tiny baby-sized human container.
"Oh, by the way, I doubt Inari will have my balls," The Death God taunted, his words becoming softer and softer as Naruto's hearing exposure to the outside world started to fade. "What kind of relationship did you have with the bridge builder's grandson in the past, anyways? Ew, you sicko."
Naruto jolted back to attention at that remark, shaking off the hypnosis he seemed to be falling under. He opened his mouth, but all that came out was a loud "FFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffuuuuu-" before his voice disappeared on him. The Shinigami had trolled him successfully and gotten away with it.
---
At least the Death God had been nice enough to actually have been telling the truth about Naruto having more freedom with regards to the seal that kept him locked away in his vessel than the original Kyuubi no Kitsune, Kurama, had had in his original lifetime.
What little goodwill Naruto had towards the Death God, who he would most certainly be siccing Inari on, and by Inari he meant the foxgirl goddess Inari, not the bridge builder's grandson Inari, evaporated right away.
"DAMN YOU BASTARD!" Naruto shouted in a voice not as loud as it once was, shaking his paw up towards the ceiling. "You sealed me inside a GIRL!"
The Looper just buried his canine head in his paws. Somehow, he just knew this Loop was going to end with his female alternate growing up and then falling head over heels for him all while turning into a sex maniac.

In wherever it was he lived, the Death God smirked. "Mission accomplished", he said to himself, as he put his trollface on.
I've got a continuation of this.
“OK, you first, blondie.†Said Kakashi.
“My name is Inari Taguchi and I like learning from my onee-chan, I dislike teachers who don't bother to see what their students already know and my goal is to teach all shinobi the importance of my Clothing Change, Make-Up and Hairstyle Jutsu.â€
The Copy-cat blinked at the response. According to her file she had brown her, which was why he had her go first, to find out who she was. But that wasn't the only issue with her file. Her file said she was an orphan with no known family, so why was she talking about a brother. The teachers had never caught her paying attention in class, but if someone else, likely this mysterious 'brother' of hers, had already taught her what they where teaching her at the time that would explain things. Of course it would also mean that the academy would have to start testing students who showed no sign of advanced progress for such, he was glad that he wouldn't be dealing with that problem.
Her mention of creating her own Jutsu was interesting. It wasn't unusual for a student to create a new Jutsu, either by flubbing a Hand Seal and getting a useful result or by tweaking an existing Jutsu. But this sounded different. It sounded like she had created several new Jutsu, from scracth. She, at least would be interesting to teach.
Of course, her new Jutsu dealt with clothes, make-up and hair styling, things that very few ninja were ever interested in. Even the more tomboyish kunoichi had never, to his knowledge, developed such Jutsu, despite being annoyed at how long such things took. She would definitely be interesting to teach.
-------------------------------------
“So our mission is to track down and capture this cat, and then bring it back alive, right?†Asked Inari.
“Yes, do you have a problem with it, Inari?†Asked Kakashi in response.
“No, I just wanted to make sure. Now I want to grab a something before we begin, maybe take a shower, is that ok with you, sensei?†Answered Inari.
“What is it you want to grab and why do you want to take a shower?†Inquired Kakashi.
“We're trying to track down a cat, I figured that catnip would be useful, as for the shower, I've got a fox spirit inside of me, don't want to smell like one a scare the cat away.†Supplied Inari.
“I'll let you get your catnip, but the showers a no-go.†Replied Kakashi.
Hearing this Inari put her arm out like it was holding a clock and spun around on her feet, when she had completed her turn she had somehow managed to change from very tight fitting civilian clothes to the most generic ninja outfit Kakashi or her other team-mates had ever seen, with an urban digi-cam pattern. Then she started making Hand Seals. Kakashi couldn't make sense of it, she wasn't making them for any known Jutsu, but it could be for one of the ones she said she designed herself. Of course she didn't seem to be doing them as fast as possible, some where quicker then others, almost as if the time between them mattered. When she stopped the pattern on her outfit had changed from urban to forest digi-cam, but now her face was covered in face paint that matched the pattern on her clothes to the point where it was hard to see where one ended and the other began.
She then dashed off before returning a minute later with a bag marked catnip.
