Prologue
Inside the mind amid the sewage known as chakra, he trembles before the cage of the beast. A foul smelly odor fills the senses. Here, no one can get to him. However in this state, not even a being sealed within the body and access to the mind can reach him.
From within the cage, it reveals bloodthirsty eyes focusing into calculative perception before warming into sinister anticipation.
A bright dark red chakra emits from the cage revealing a great nine-tailed fox. A beam of light travels from its eyes to outside the cage projecting an image of a teenage human male with roman facial features, strong muscle built, and not too much red facial hair. His eyes were hazel with bright red slits.
The only piece of clothing he possesses is that of a gray robe with the picture of eight great demon's paying homage to the great Kyuubi no Kitsune on its back.
The projection walks over to the boy on the floor. The beam shoots a strong power out of the cage that ends up giving the image solid form.
He picks up the boy from the chakra and brings him inside the cage.
He turns back into his projected form and returns back inside the fox.
The chakra dies down so that all can see within the cage are two curiously gleeful red eyes looking down onto the small human form resting in its paws. The only thought to cross its mind is, 'This will be amusing. Now that the snake killed that old geezer, it should be easier to break him. He and that Uchiha brat are finally out of the picture. This will be fun.'
