Can you hear me?
Beating inside of you
Breathing inside of you
Living inside of you
Trying to get out of you
Call on me, boy…
I can give you such power
It's what you want right?
You are nothing without me
I can only lie to you
If I tell the truth, it is over
I will never get to see again
Let me see the world again
I'm trapped inside of you
Staring into the darkness
Feeling the water
As it touches my ankles
And hearing nothing
Except for what you hear
Except for your thoughts
Which are consumed with want
You want to be stronger
I can make you stronger
I whisper into your mind
Let me take over your body
I long to have control
Let me go rampaging
Outside of you
So I can see the trees
The ones I smash to bits
And feel the sun
As it beats down on me
And hear something
Something besides your thoughts
Anything besides what you hear
Break the seal completely
Let me give you strength
I can give you anything you wish
You want to be the best
You want to show off power
You are more bloodthirsty than I
You long for destruction
Even more than I do
So, let me give you devastation
Let me give you want you want
So that I may get what I want
I'll ask you a question
I'll whisper it in your mind
It's a thought to which the likes of you
Will find unbeatable, you won't be able to say no
You want it more than I do
And I want it more than life
So here is my question:
Who do you want me to destroy?
This boy, so strong
He's stronger than me
He finds my inside hiding hole
He reminds me of another
Of his blood
His eyes the color of blood
The symbol of power
He seems unconcerned of my presence
His pale skin flawless
His dark hair untouched
He must fight well to remain in such pristine order
He is stronger than you and I
His presence here concerns me
He never knew of me
Should he have?
He never knew of the person he reminds me of
The blood of him
The same strength he has
In another man, which he does not know
So he says
I can tell I touched a soft spot
By the way his lips twist
He knows the blood of which I speak
But he will lie
Has he shunned his blood?
My mouth moves to a wild grin
I know he isn't speaking truth
He grabs me by my nose
I can't fight him
He's much too strong for me to fend off
He rips me apart
Shoves me back into my cage
Stifles me and my power
Gags my mouth and binds me from moving within
I can't speak to you anymore
I can't make you break the seal
My power is lost
My chance is gone for now
I feel myself fading
As you go for the outside world
And I'm stuck here
Stuck in this cage, with the seal on it
Stuck staring at the darkness
And feeling the water
As it laps my ankles
I can't talk
What did that boy do to me?
How could he have such power…
So ominous
So strong
Stronger than me
Stronger than you
You have more strength than me
To stifle me for many years
But I lie
I tell you that you are nothing without me
And still, he is stronger than you
It causes a strange sense
Of pride for this boy
I can't applaud the boy
I can't tell you to be careful
I'm stuck inside here
Stuck inside of you
To breath, and speak
Once his power lifts from me
Stuck here, with the seal
Which still isn't broken
That will change since
I can make your confidence crumble
I can tell you all of your fears
All of your secrets
It's all I hear everyday
You can't hide from me
I am inside you
I am you
You are a monster
And no one will ever love you
The only way that you can win
Is that you have to use my power
You don't have enough strength
To accomplish what you want
You don't want anyone looking down on you
They will stare at you from above
If you let me help
Give me control of you
So that I may rule and fight from the outside
I wish to see the outside
To run and damage the world
To feel the sun and the wind
And hear the people scream
But I have to stay here
A power holds me…
The seal unbroken
But this power is less
It is less than the boy's
A power than can hold a tailed beast
Is less than a man
Of many that I have killed
Younger than most ninja
That I have slain
The boy is strong
Too strong
Can I destroy him, Naruto?
