A baby's wailing reverberated within the confines of a ceremonial chamber. The baby in question was crying loudly while lying in a basket. He had an unruly mop of blond hair and strangely enough, a weird looking spiral on his stomach. The Sandaime Hokage looked on sadly at the child in front of him.

How was it that an orphan was called upon to carry the biggest burden the village has ever faced? Sandaime respected the Fourth for his devotion to the village and determination to save it from the rampaging Kyuubi, he truly did carry the will of fire. Yet, somehow Sanadaime couldn't face the fact that he had sacrificed a baby to do this job. The withered old man dragged himself to a chair next to Naruto, for that was the baby's name, in an attempt to calm him. After he sat, he bowed his head in thought thinking over the Forth's last statement to him.

"He wanted Naruto to be viewed as a hero. I can't believe that he didn't think Naruto would face the ridicule of a demon. Didn't he see the fear that ran rampant through the village because a demon came through it ?"

Sandaime sighed and put his face into his hands. Louder crying snapped him out of his thoughts. Naruto started flailing as if in pain and continued to cry louder. Worry crossed Sandaime's face as he tried to soothe the child.

The old man was startled as a draft picked up in the room. There were no windows and the door was closed. How could a wind be blowing? The wind sounded like a long echoing cry, that continually got louder and sounded like a person speaking. Sandaime strained his ears to see if he could confirm if it was words.

A soft glow brought his attention to Naruto. He inferred from the scowl that marred Naruto's face that Naruto had passed out from pain. The glow in question was emanating from Naruto, more specifically, the seal on his stomach.

"What is going on? Chakra... chakra is being released from Naruto. If this continues Naruto may get hurt because his coils aren't developed enough."

The chakra seeped from the seal and enveloped Naruto. Sandaime stood up getting ready to place a chakra suppression seal on Naruto to prevent him from releasing anymore. Suddenly, a flash of chakra was released blowing him off his feet. Landing hard on his backside, he looked upward to see that the chakra had shot from Naruto's stomach and was hovering over him.

It looked like that the chakra was struggling to take shape. It twisted, it turned, it moved in every direction. Sandaime looked on, mesmerized by the chakra. Looking carefully, he saw that it had taken the shape of a fox's head. It opened, its jaws and let out an unearthly roar, before the form broke apart and dissipated. The chakra was receding back into the seal, but the chakra still enveloped Naruto. There was a blinding flash, forcing the Sandaime to shield his eyes. When it was over, Sandaime shakily rose to his feet.

"Kyuubi's chakra! The fox's chakra! How is it possible that such a high amount could be released through the seal? The fox must have forced all his chakra against the seal in an attempt to break it or escape through it."

Sandaime shivered at the thought that the Kyuubi could have released himself. After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself, he walked over to Naruto to see if he was okay. What he saw, he was completely unprepared for.

"How...how is this possible? It can't be..."

What he saw was that Naruto had receive a pair of orange fox ears on the top of his head and spouted an eight inch orange fox tail. Fear ran through Sandaime that the Kyuubi had possessed the poor boy. Quickly pushing chakra into his hands, he placed them over the seal to analyze it. Moments passed with Sandaime just standing there, face set in stone. He pulled back his hands, let the chakra fade away and let out the breath that he was holding in.

He plopped into the chair after he had set it back up on the floor, it had fallen over in the chakra flash. The Kyuubi had failed to escape and failed to take control of the boy. There was still a consciousness behind the seal, and the seal was still going strong. If the boy had been overtaken, the consciousness would not be there. Sandaime was still in shock over the fox appendages that were growing out of Naruto. He let out a big sigh as he thought about what he was going to do.
