"Grik, hi lost meyz wah koraav dovah ahst laat, joor? Aal zu'u aak hi?" Came a booming voice from within the dark of a large, cavernous set of tunnels. The tunnels had a layer of water on the floor, possibly six or so inches deep. The walls were lined with pipes, some having a pulsing, glowing red fluid moving through them, while others simply have what looks like water running in them. The ceiling of the tunnel was in a similar state, having pipes running the length of it and weaving around each other, some having that glowing red liquid in them.

A young boy, no older than six years of age, looked around in fright when he heard the voice. He looked behind himself, in front of himself, to his left and then his right, above then below. He continued to look around before the voice boomed within the halls of the tunnel again.

"Dreh ni dreh grik ahraan, kul. Zu'u los ni ko fin hahdrim wah nos hi." This time, the voice seemed to convey a sense of annoyance and contempt. However, despite what the voice had said, the young boy continued to frantically look around in search of the source of the booming voice.

The boy stood at a height of roughly three feet and five inches, rather small for a boy of his age. He had a head of sun kissed blonde hair, being so bright it looks like it could be emitting its own light. His hair was in a shaggy state, looking as if it had not been cut since he was born and spiked out in every direction in an untamed jungle of follicles atop his scalp. His eyes were a bright azure, though while being bright in colour, they seemed to lack any brightness for life and showed nothing but a dull outlook on a bleak existence. On each cheek, the blonde had a set of three whisker marks, evenly spaced apart and running from the edge of his jaw to mere millimetres from his mouth. His overall appearance was that of a short and very skinny young boy, looking as though he would have to fight to feed himself on a daily basis. By the very appearance of him, he looked like a street kid and one that would have a hard time even climbing into a rubbish bin to feed themselves.

This boy goes by the name of Naruto Uzumaki.

He continued to looked around in growing fear of the voice that boomed in his ear and through the tunnels, looking in a futile effort to find the source of the voice and hopefully the end to more fear in his life.

Yes, Naruto feels fear every day of his life. And no, it is not only because he needs to eat from the rubbish and fend for his life against drunken villagers and the residents of the dodgy part of the village. He feels fear because almost every civilian in his home wants to see him dead. Yes, people want to see a six year old boy dead.

The voice called out again, however, this time in a language that Naruto could understand. "I see... So you cannot understand Dovahzul. Well, I refuse to be sealed within a vessel that cannot converse with me in my native tongue, so I will teach you the language of the Dovah."

Naruto looked around even more frantically, though he seemed to release a small amount of fear with the knowledge that the voice did not just speak that strange and guttural language. However, he was still fearful of the voice since it seemed to disregard his fear and simply declared it would teach him the language it had spoken to him. However, he could not comprehend the thought of this voice being sealed within something, though it did not occur to him that the voice meant it was sealed within him.

Yes, the voice belonged to a being that was sealed within Naruto.

The voice addressed the young blonde once again, this time instructing him to follow the sound to the source. Wearily, Naruto complied and followed the sound of the voice, which was far headed than one would think given that at times it sounded like the voice was coming from every direction, echoing off every wall and bouncing around the tunnels like a sugar high three year old in a room made of trampolines.

For what seemed like hours to Naruto, he walked the water logged tunnels, taking left turns and then right turns. Turning back on himself and walking back the way he had come from several times in an attempt to find the source of the voice, hoping to gain some closure for his active mind constantly wondering and fearing what the being that owns the voice could be.

Eventually, Naruto came to the end of the tunnel, said tunnel opening into a large room. The room had similar properties to the tunnels, having walls covered in pipes with glowing red liquid running through them. However, the ceiling was far higher, so high in fact that it was out of sight, though Naruto somehow knew that the cavernous room did indeed have a ceiling. At the end of the expanse, a large set of bars could be seen with a single piece of paper in the centre of what looked to be a huge pair of metal bar doors.

In the darkness behind the bars, a pair of gleaming red orbs appeared. For some reason, Naruto had a feeling that they were eyes belonging to a rather large and somewhat nasty creature. His answer came in the form of the deep rumbling voice he had heard earlier emitting from the darkness the eyes were in.

"You have finally arrived then, mortal." The voice spoke, the deep rumble making the ground and walls shake in the close proximity of the source, "Do you know who I am? What I am? Do you know where you are, mortal?" The voice asked the young blonde.

Naruto's only response was a simple shake of the head, which was the only response he could manage to give in the situation he now found himself in. He was scared beyond comprehension by the thought of what owned that voice. The mere sound of it, the deep rumbling and seemingly growling tone to it, spoke only of a power and very angry creature. Something ancient and powerful that made the boy think of the Tailed Beasts, one of the nine monstrous beasts ranging from one through nine tails must be the owner of that voice.

However, the voice answered with what Naruto would never had expected to hear. "Mortal. I am Alduin. First born of the God Akatosh, Destroyer of Worlds, Eater of Souls, and the First Dovah. I am the eldest of my kind, the Dovah. As for where you are... You, mortal, are in my seal." The now named Alduin answered, causing the blonde haired young boy to gasp in shock and step back in fear.

"W-What?" He stammered out, "H-How can you b-be Alduin? He w-was killed by the Yondaime!" Naruto shouted out, gaining some of his courage in the form of anger. Whatever this creature was it seemed to like playing horrible tricks on the boy. Naruto opened his mouth to say something else but was cut off by the enraged roar of the Dovah behind the bars.

The red eyes gleamed brighter as they moved forward, Alduin coming into view. As the Dragon emerged from the shadows, he revealed himself to be roughly ninety feet in length and standing at a height of approximately twenty feet. The beast was on all fours, this being both hind legs and wings that served as arms, his body was covered in thick black scales that extended out into long, curved blade like spines. Alduin's red eyes were set deep inside his large scaled head, his maw hanging open slightly to reveal a set of huge jagged teeth that could quite easily rip a man to pieces in a matter of seconds. The tail of the Dovah was long and scaled, ending in a large club like growth of scales and bone, being extremely vicious and evil looking. In all, Alduin was an imposing sight and made it more fearful with the fact that he currently had flames licking at his maw from his throat.

"You dare to contest me, mortal!?" He boomed, glaring bloody daggers at the boy, his glowing crimson eyes making for an intense glare that made Naruto step back in utter fear and almost wet himself. "I am Alduin! No mortal can kill me! Not even that pathetic Dovahkiin could completely destroy my soul!" The Firstborn of Akatosh shouted, the cavernous room the duo were in shaking wildly and gaining a few cracks along their lengths. "Mortal. You will speak to me with the proper respect for a being of my power! I am may be in this seal, but I am still the most powerful existence in Nirn!" He said, looking at Naruto with a stern glare, a glare that left no room for argument.

Naruto nodded quickly in response, letting the Dragon know that he didn't intend to disrespect him any further. Of course, the boy had not intended to disrespect such a powerful being in the first place, simply claiming that the Yondaime Hokage had killed the beasts and as such he shouldn't be speaking with him. "B-But, if you can't be killed... What are you doing in here?" He asked confusedly.

The Dovah let out a deep sigh, seeming to resign to the fact that the young mortal had made a fair point and asked a reasonable question. "What do you know of the battle between your Yondaime and myself?" Alduin asked the young blonde, wanting to know what he knew before telling him the truth.

Naruto looked confused, "Well, I was told that you had attacked the village for no reason and the Yondaime had killed you, but gave his life to do so. Now I'm not sure what to believe, since I'm here talking to you." He said, looking down in confusion.

Alduin nodded, "Well, what you have been told is wrong. I cannot be killed by a mere mortal. Only a being of greater power than I can kill me, a being like my father Akatosh." the Dragon intoned, looking down at the small human boy with no small amount of disdain, "No, I cannot be killed, so the Yondaime sealed me instead. On the night of October Tenth, I attacked your village and the Yondaime sealed me within a newborn child." He said, snorting at the human, "To think, a being of my power being defeated and held by a child and his father..." The Great Dragon said, turning away and crawling further into the shadows, hiding his visage from Naruto once again.

Naruto frowned in thought before his eyes went wide and tears started to pool in the corners of his cerulean orbs, "Y-You... You're sealed inside me?" He asked, receiving a confirmatory grumble from the Great Black Dragon within the darkness. Despite what many of the villages thought, Naruto was not stupid. In fact, he was incredibly smart, he needed to be smart to survive on the streets as long as he did. It wasn't hard for Naruto to come to the fairly easy conclusion that he was the child Alduin had been sealed within, and that he was now standing inside that very seal.

"Yes, mortal. You are the child I was sealed within..." He said with a surprisingly solemn tone to his booming voice, "However, despite what those pathetic villagers think, you are not stupid. You would not have survived as long as you have if your were not smart." He intoned, his voice becoming more intrigued, "And I refuse to be sealed in such a weak vessel. As such, I will offer you this... I will train you, mortal. In the ways of Magika and in how to speak my tongue, Dovahzul. You will learn to speak as Dov. You will not be weak. You will show those mortals that a Dovah is nothing to be scoffed at." He said, his voice raising as he spoke until he was shouting to the boy, making him step back in slight fear, though his face showed nothing but determination.

"Yes." The blonde answered, "Yes, I want to be trained. I want to be able to protect myself from the people that hurt me. I want to be strong!" He declared, looking the gleaming red eyes dead on as he stepped up to the bars, "I want you to teach me what you know!" He shouted, his face twisting in anger and determination.

Alduin nodded, stepping out of the shadows and looking down on the boy with a mildly impressed gaze, "Good. I will teach you the ways of the Dovah and the ways of Magika. You will learn to not only speak in my tongue, but to wield the elements of Fire, Lightning, and Ice, to conjure creatures from the planes of Oblivion, to alter the very fabric of the world, and to heal any wound inflicted on yourself or others." The Eldest of the Dovah answered, looking down on the boy and grumbling lowly in his throat.

Once the conversation between Vessel and Prisoner was over, Naruto found that he was fading from the seal. Alduin looking on as the boy disappeared slowly from in front of his cage and sighing as he turned around to see the black expanse that was his confines, "Damn mortal.. Trapping me in a bleak place like this..." He muttered to himself in irritation, cursing the Yondaime to an eternity of suffering within the Shinigami's stomach.

[Konohagakure no Sato: Naruto's apartment]

After Naruto had faded from the seal that was his mindscape, he slowly began to awake in the real world. He found that he was laying on the floor in an alley, apparently having been chased into a corner once again and beaten. Of course the villagers would take pleasure in beating a small helpless boy... Of course no one would care for the fact that every villager within this Hell hole has broken so many laws in just beating him. Assault. Grievous Bodily Harm. Child Abuse. Actual Bodily Harm. Assault with a deadly weapon. Attempted Murder. The only crime they hadn't committed yet was the act of rape on the young boy. Apparently the morals of this village were so screwed up that only raping the boy was too far, trying to kill him was something they could get away with easily in their eyes.

The blonde stood, or at least tried to stand, finding that he had multiple lacerations and bruisers all over his body. He hissed in pain as he opened a gash across his thigh that had started to heal already, his life fluid spilling from the wound and staining the already bloody floor even more. If such a thing was even possible. Naruto managed to close the wound after several minutes of pressing his weight into his thigh and then ripping part of his t-shirt off to tie the gash closed before standing on shaky legs and stumbling to the hospital.

Author Note:

Well, there's the first renewed chapter of Alduin's Jinchuriki! I hope you enjoyed it.

Word Count for this Chapter: 2573 Words

And before you all start complaining about not understanding what Alduin said at the start of the chapter. I know. I haven't put the translation after what is said for a reason. It makes sense to read what is said in Dovahzul and then read what it actually says at the end of the chapter. So here it is.

Dovahzul/English Translations:

Grik, hi lost meyz wah koraav dovah ahst laat, joor? Aal zu'u aak hi?

So, you have come to see me at last, mortal? May I help you?

Dreh ni dreh grik ahraan, kul. Zu'u los ni ko fin hahdrim wah nos hi.

Do not be so scared, boy. I am not in the mind to attack you.

Now, I haven't shown Naruto being attacked in this chapter because I am writing this story differently now. There will be things that are similar, like Naruto will still be dark, and Team 7 will still be getting their asses handed to them by said dark ninja. However, Alduin will not be as nice to Naruto, said blonde wont be hiding behind a mask this time, and I will be attempting to write a new chapter for every couple weeks at the most.

Also, having had this in the past; if you don't like my stories. Don't. Read. Them. If you don't like the first chapter and decide you won't like the story don't read it and just slag them off. It pisses me off. Simply making a point of reading a story just to berate the author is not what Fanfiction was created for. It irritates me that people are so pathetic that they read things just to find things they don't like so they can gripe about it.

Thanks for reading. Give me some reviews, they do help, but don't flame me.
