'kyuubi thinking'

"Naruto telepathy"

'naruto thinking'


"NARUTO!!!!" Sakura screamed as he fell over, clutching his side in pain.

He had been fine a minute ago. He had been fighting with Lee about something which made Lee kick him backwards. Naruto's reaction was what had scared them. His eyes had gone blank and he started to shake before falling to his knees and clutching his sides.

Sakura had immediately ran towards Konaha hospital with the others following with Naruto.

Kiba had grabbed Naruto carefully in his arms and ran as fast as he could.

The nurse at the desk looked up when Sakura burst through the doors. She was about to ask when Kiba came running in the door with a now unconscious Naruto in his arms. The nurse jumped up and ran for help.


Tsunade had immediately been called for. When she got to the room, she had a small surprise.

Sakura, Kiba, Neji, Hinata, and Lee were all in there with Naruto, who was still unconscious.

She immediately shooed them out of the room and got to work. She pulled her chakra into her hands and laid them on his body. She didn't sense that anything was broken or bleeding. It hit her. Tsunade pulled Naruto's shirt up and gasped.

The seal was showing itself. Fully!

Tsunade frowned. The power could be dwarfing his body without trying to and it was having disastrous results. "Maybe we should bring her in to help him." she said without knowing.


Sakura was sad. She hadn't said a word to anyone yet and no one could get her too. After Sasuke had left, she had grown closer to Naruto.

Kiba sighed as Sakura, Lee, and him walked around the village. Akamaru was at home with his sister. "Remember, he heals quickly! He'll be alright in no time!"

Sakura started to cry a bit. "I hate having to see my friends like this." her suppressed feelings started to come out.

Lee and Kiba looked at each other behind her back and nodded. They threw their arms over her shoulders and dragged her towards the Ramen Shop. They all sat down and ordered. Well, Kiba and Lee ordered for Sakura.

Sakura just stared at the food. She didn't feel like eating when Naruto was like this. Maybe she really did like him.

"What are you three doing here?"

They jumped a little and spun around to face Kakashi and Iruka. "DON'T DO THAT!!" Lee and Kiba yelled at the same time. Sakura stayed staring at the counter.

Iruka looked around. "Where's Naruto? He eats here all the time!"

That did it for Sakura. She stood and ran in the opposite direction that they had come, tears falling out of her sad eyes.

Iruka and Kakashi were told by Kiba what had happened while Lee went after Sakura.


Naruto had woken up over three hours ago and was sitting in the dark.

Tsunade had told him what was happening but he didn't want to believe it.

He was told to sleep but with this on his mind sleep would never come. Naruto hadn't been visited but that could be because Tsunade didn't want anyone to see him.

He turned on his side and closed his eyes, trying to sleep. But a strange little buzz in the back of his head wouldn't let him.

"Child."

He had to be imagining things now. He was starting to hear things.

"Child."

He started to get a little bit scared. Who else was in the room with him? "Who are you?"

He heard a sigh. "You already now who I am now open your eyes." the voice instructed.

He opened his eyes and jumped. He hadn't been expecting that. Sitting in front of him was a fox. He would have just brushed it off but it could talk and the fact that it had nine tails instead of one.

The fox jumped back and landed on the table next to the bed. "Child, I am not a figure of your imagination. And stop thinking those thoughts about that girl, that's disgusting!"

Naruto was now sitting up in bed and staring. "You really are the kyuubi……." he said in amazement. Then something clicked. "Wait, if you are here, does that mean the seal is broken?"

He shook his head. "I am a part of you. When the power grew, I gained the power to bring myself out in this form. That is all."

Naruto frowned. This was confusing. "Hey Kyuubi….."

"You call me that again and I will bite you. My name is not Kyuubi." he harshly said, some of his fur sticking up in anger.

Naruto held his hands up in defeat. "Sorry, Sorry. But what can I call you?"

"My full title is Kyuubi no Kyouto but you may call me Kyouto."

Naruto nodded.

Kyouto asked Naruto a surprising question. "Boy, why are you so sad?"

Naruto wasn't ready for that. "What would you care about that for? You're the evil fox who attacked us and killed many." he said.

Kyouto was surprised. "That's what they told you? I'm sorry but that isn't true. They just assumed that."

Naruto frowned. "What do you? What really happened?"

Kyouto sighed. "All right. Well, I never intended to attack this village when I first came into this area. I came with my mate. She was going to give birth soon so I wished to make sure that she was safe. I left the large cave that we were in to find her some food because she had just given birth to five kits. When I returned, they were all dead."

Naruto gasped. "But that doesn't really explain why you attacked the village. Please continue."

He nodded. "I ran back out of the cave and tracked the sent of blood back to just outside this village. The men were scared to death. They told me that they had been ordered to do that to them by outsiders who hate demons. Before I could help myself, I had killed them. More villagers came out and before I could stop it, everything was out of control. I was trying to avoid them going and finding their remains so I could, well never mind about that, well anyway, to them, I was attacking. You know the rest.:

"No I don't." Naruto said, wanting to hear everything. "Please?"

Kyouto nodded. "Alright. The man called Yondaime came up to me with the intention of sealing me. I used telepathy to plead with him to bury my mate and kits if he would do this. He nodded and said the one thing that I will never forget.

'You have suffered much in a short time. Your family was taking some I offer this in return. Before I die, I will do as you wish. You will be sealed in my only son. Let that be retribution. '

He started the jutsu but before he completed it, he looked at me again.

'You make the greatest sacrifices for the ones you love.'

After I was sealed inside of you, I could slowly feel myself starting to change. We are one in the same Naruto. That is all I know. Now try to get some sleep." Kyouto jumped onto the bed next to Naruto.

Naruto frowned. "Yeah, you try being the one to try and comprehend all of this information and try to sleep at the same time."

"Your smarter than you look. The Uzamaki's were always special." Kyouto sleepily said.

Naruto sighed and laid down. "I can't sleep."

Kyouto sighed and jumped onto the table again. "Here. Look into my eyes and I will use the Kitsune Nemuri on you."

He looked up and into his eyes and immediately felt sleepy. He snuggled into the bed and feel into a deep sleep.

Kyouto jumped to the end of the bed and also went to sleep.


Tsunade walked into the forest and sighed. She had just made a call and now all she could do was wait. She sat down under a tree and dozed off a bit.

Tsunade woke when something fell onto her head. She reached up and pulled an apple peel off of her head. She kept doing that until the peels stopped.

A third of an apple fell out of the tree. It floated in front of Tsunade, who grabbed it. She was hungry.

"How long was I asleep?" she asked.

The tree moved a bit as she got comfortable. "You were out for the whole night. You seemed to be fast asleep so I didn't wake you when I got here."

Tsunade stood and looked up at the girl in the tree. "And how long was that?"

She jumped down, the long black coat that she was wearing moving around. The hood of it surprisingly didn't fall. "About three in the morning."

Tsunade sighed at her. "Adela, you can trust me you know. Let me see."

She turned away from Tsunade. "I still don't like people knowing who I am."

Tsunade walked over to her and put her hands on the girls shoulders. "Adelaide Uzamaki, I can't believe I'm hearing this from you."

Adelaide laughed a bit as she turned to face Tsunade. She pulled the hood down, revealing her face. She was beautiful. She had black hair that reached down to her butt. Her hair was covering part of her face that was bandaged up. She had cerulean eyes that seemed to smile.

Tsunade reached towards the bandages.

Adelaide backed away and wouldn't let her touch it. "Please, no. I still can't……"

Tsunade smiled. "Its okay. How is it? Keeping it under control?"

She didn't really answer. "Sorta. Its hard at times. But Kaen always helps me. Why did I have to come here in the first place?"

Tsunade laughed. "Where is Kaen?"

"Getting her breakfast. She should be back anytime now."

Tsunade nodded. "Alright then lets get down to business. You do remember what happened thirteen years ago, right?"

Adelaide got a sad look on her face. "May Yondaime rest in peace. And yes, I do. He sealed the kyuubi in my younger brother."

Tsunade nodded. "Yes. Arashi knew that by doing this, we would be safe. But he didn't count on this. The seal is starting to over power his body. Its what happened to you all over again."

Adelaide frowned. "Yes, it is happening to him. I can sense it right this minute."

"Yes. The kyuubi has already taken a smaller physical form. I could tell that when we got closer."

Tsunade looked into the trees. A fox was walking towards them. The fox was white with blue markings. She also had a jewel on her forehead and nine tails as well. "Kaen."

The fox nodded. "Hello Tsunade-sama. Or should I say, Fifth Hokage-sama. I am already aware of what has happened so fill her in before we go." Kaen walked back into the trees, where she had left her breakfast.

Adelaide sighed. "I have to go inside of the village?"

Tsunade put her arm over Adelaide's shoulder. "You can go into anyway you want to, just as long as you end up at the hospital."

Adelaide nodded and pulled her hood back. "He will not see my face. Understand?"

Tsunade nodded and Adelaide walked off. "You've become such a hermit. If you would just try…."


Naruto had woken up from the best sleep of his life. He looked around and saw Kyouto laying on the end of his bed. So that wasn't a dream.

"Naruto, its Tsunade, can I come in?" Tsunade asked through the door.

Kyouto was immediately awake. He jumped off the bed and went under it.

"Come on in." he said.

Tsunade smiled at him. "How are you feeling this morning?"

"Like I just had the best sleep of my life." Naruto heard laughing in his head.

"Its no surprise because of the Jutsu I used on you."

"I can talk to you this way?"

"Yes but pay attention to the Hokage."

Naruto looked where Tsunade was standing. He raised his eyebrow a bit. There was a peel in her hair. "Granny Tsunade, there's an apple peel in your hair."

Tsunade reached up and pulled it out. "That girl." she muttered. "Naruto, do you know of anything that is happening?"

"He's knows what the fox knows, which isn't much at the moment." a voice from the window said. Adelaide was sitting on the now open windows sill.

Naruto jumped up. "WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?!" he shouted.

Adelaide flinched. He was loud! "Singe. And this is Kaen." Kaen jumped up onto her lap and into the room.

"Kyouto come out from there. I haven't seen you in years." she said.

Kyouto poked his head out. "Kaen, I never thought I would see you face to face. Well, sorta."

Tsunade was confused.

Adelaide knew what was going on. "Like we said, Kyouto can already come out in a smaller form."

Tsunade nodded. "I'm guessing that's the fox's name?"

Kaen nodded. "Each fox is either called kyuubi or Kitsune. We do have true names. I am Kyuubi no Kaen, sister to…."

"…me, Kyuubi no Kyouto." Kyouto finished.

Naruto sighed. "I still don't get what you want with me."

Adelaide jumped into the room. "I will be teaching you how to control the fox's powers. You will have to come with me to my dojo so we don't hurt anyone around here."

Naruto sighed and closed his eyes. "I'm guessing that I don't have a choice in going or not?"

Tsunade nodded. "This is an order from the Hokage. You will go with her for two weeks the first time and then you will come back for a few days. After that, you will go with her during the week and stay here during the weekend to keep up with your ninja missions."

Adelaide agreed. "Of course, if this works out, you may be able to on the missions that I do. We will leave ASAP." she jumped out the window again and disappeared.

Tsunade sighed. "She can't stay still for more than ten minutes when she doesn't want to. Naruto, you cannot tell anyone that you are leaving. That's an order. Go home and prepare. Meet us by the western wall tonight. We'll be waiting." Tsunade stood and left.

Naruto left the hospital and went on home. He packed up some clothes and the stuff that he needed.

The fox's had disappeared after he left the hospital. They were siblings so they were probably catching up on everything that they had missed over the years.

He sighed as he sat on his bed. It was about noon and he for once didn't want to be outside. He leaned back on his bed and let all of this information sink in. When he sat up again, it was night time. He walked outside and took the back roads to get to the western gate.

Tsunade and Adelaide were waiting for him.

Adelaide talked little when they were walking. They were soon outside of the village.

Tsunade turned towards Naruto. "You have grown so much in the little time that I have known you. You're wearing the necklace, right?"

Naruto opened his jacket, revealing the necklace that he had won from her when they first found her. "I never take it off!"

Adelaide sighed. "Lets go. Your names Naruto, right?"

Naruto nodded. "You said that your Singe, right?"

She nodded and started to walk off. The fox's ran out at the top of the hill. Adelaide paused for Naruto at the top of the hill.

Tsunade held him back for a minute. "Come back safe. I know that she can be a rough teacher at times but don't worry. Your in good hands. I'll be waiting for you to come back." she gave Naruto a quick hug.

He turned and ran halfway up the hill. He knew that this was going to change him but maybe it was for the best. He waved to Tsunade before running up to where Adelaide was waiting for him.

Tsunade sighed. She knew that it was for the best but it was still hard to see him going with her.
