Normal- Naruto and everyone else
Bold- Demons
Chapter one
A mob was chasing a blond haired, blue-eyed 4-year old down the street and into an alley. They were all yelling "Die, Demon" at him. When they cornered him in the alley they all began throwing knives, bottles, and just beating him into unconsciousness.
When the boy woke up he was in a dark, damp hallway. A few feet in front of him was a doorway with light coming in from under the door. The boy opened the door into a large room that had torches for lights and a giant cage with a seal on the lock. From inside the cage someone said "Come here, Kit."
A figure approached. Said figure was female, with fox ears and nine-tails. She had red hair and eyes with sharp claws. "My name is Naruto, Who are you?" the little boy said.
"I am the Kyuubi No Kitsune, the Nine-Tailed demon fox."
"That's not possible! The Fourth Hokage killed the Kyuubi! The Kyuubi can't be a girl!" Was Naruto's surprised response.
"Kit, I was the most powerful demon lord alive, no mere human could ever hope to actually kill me, and second, what does being a girl have to do with anything?" Kyuubi growled at him, especially that last part.
"Female is totally fine, nothing wrong with it" Naruto quickly said, gulping. "But if the Fourth didn't kill you, what did he do?"
"He sealed me inside of you." Was the reply
Naruto thought about this for a minute. "That's why they call me a demon and try to kill me."
"That's right. Do you hate me for it? Kyuubi asked, sounding a little nervous.
Naruto once more thought before he answered "No, I'm just disappointed. The villagers should see me for who I am not who I contain."
Kyuubi nodded and told him "I might be able to help with that. You want to be hokage right?"
Naruto nodded.
"Then I'll train you. It's the least I can do. After all, it is my fault you're treated this way."
"Where are we, by the way?"
"In your mind, you can change how it looks if you like. All you have to do is concentrate on how you want it." Kyuubi explained.
Naruto closed his eyes and concentrated. Suddenly they were in forest filled with trees, sunlight, a waterfall, and a meadow in the middle of the forest. Kyuubi's cage had disappeared to be replaced with a collar around her neck with the kanji for seal on it.
Kyuubi looked around amazed at how detailed everything was. It took a lot of mental concentration to pull of something as intricate as the forest. Meaning that this four year old had the potential to become one hell of a genius shinobi.
Naruto looked at Kyuubi "so when do we start training kyu-chan?"
Kyuubi looked startled at the nickname but replied "Right away, I just need to explain a few things first. One is that each night while you body is asleep and resting, your mind will be in here. It doesn't need sleep. So, at night I will be teaching you things such as anatomy, biology, botany, mathematics, strategy, etc. During the day I will teach you Chakra Control, Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, ninjutsu, Summoning Jutsu and Genjutsu. Since we have met I can now talk to you even when you're awake. I will teach you summoning now. Your contract will be with the foxes. You won't need to sign anything as I am the boss and I say you're allowed. All you need is a bit of blood, I'd suggest biting your thumb, and then performing the hand-signs Horse, dragon, monkey, boar horse, in that order. Are you following me so far?"
Naruto nodded "you're teaching me both at night and during the day. Right now you're teaching me to summon. I need a bit of blood so you suggest biting my thumb then doing the hand-signs horse, dragon, monkey, boar, and horse. I just have one question, how are you going to teach me during the day?"
"You'll summon me" was the reply. "I'll have a body similar to a shadow clone. I'll still be sealed inside of you, but the shadow clone body will allow me to teach you. I have one last thing to tell you. I can turn you into a hanyou, or half demon. It would give you access to not only you chakra, but mine as well without any of the nasty side-effects. You'll only be able to use one tales worth of power at first, but by training hard you will eventually gain power over all nine tails' worth. Your senses would all dramatically increase and any and all bloodlines, no matter how dormant would be activated. Plus, you physical self would become more fox-like."
Naruto thought about the deal.
"You don't have to decide now. In fact, you should probably wake up and reassure the old man that you're alright. He's starting to worry. You've been in here for a while now. A member of the Nara clan, in fact the head of the clan, found you and took you the third hokage. He then forced the hospital staff to care for you. You also might not want to tell him we've met. No need to cause a panic." Informed the Kyuubi.
"I think you're right. I'll let you know about my decision after I wake up and reassure the old man. I also won't tell him about our talking. I shouldn't cause him more concern. He has enough to worry about already."
"There's something I should warn you about. If you do decide to become a hanyou I'll have to place a genjutsu on you until you can hold the genjutsu yourself. You'll also need to find somewhere we can train during the day without anyone finding us. You should also consider acting like an idiot and be a 'dead-last' when you enter the academy. That way, no-one will find out about how strong you are." Kyuubi suggested
Naruto agreed and Kyuubi sent him back out of his mind.

Naruto opened his eyes and saw the white ceiling of the hospital room. The third was sitting in the chair next to the bed. When naruto stirred and sat up, the hokage looked at him with relief. "I was really worried are you all-right?"
Naruto nodded and, keeping in mind Kyuubi's advice, just asked "when do I get out of here?'
"The head of the Nara clan saw you beaten badly in an alley and brought you to me, and I brought you here" Sarutobi explained.
"Well then, since I'm better now, can you check me out? I want to go to my apartment to see what it looks like." Naruto said, pretending not to know anything.
"Certainly, would you like me to come with you?" Sarutobi asked him.
"Naw, I'll be fine" was the reply he got.
Sarutobi walked naruto to the front desk, checked him out, and left him to walk home by himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Scene Change~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Naruto got to his apartment and opened the door. It was trashed but be didn't have anything valuable so it didn't matter. He started thinking about what kyu had said, the offer she'd given him. He made his decision. "Kyu-chan" Naruto thought.
"You called" was the reply
"I want to accept your offer and become a half-demon"
Kyuubi was silent for a moment. "Very well, do you have the training ground picked out? We'll start the process there. It will take two hours and be extremely painful. Remember, your appearance will be changed."
"I understand, and I picked the training ground. It's the forest of death. People don't really go there, so it should be safe. I mean, safe from people." Was Naruto's Answer.
"That'll be perfect, head on over there."

Forest of Death
Naruto was standing in a clearing in the middle of The Forest of Death.
"Are you Ready?"
"As I'll ever be"
Pain suddenly began to wrack his body. After two hours it subsided like Kyuubi said it would. Naruto gingerly began to get up. He had fallen over when it first began. He felt something behind him. It was a single blond tail. Naruto went to the pond in the clearing to look at his reflection. He had two fox ears, the whisker marks he had were thick, his canines were more pronounced and his eyes were cerulean blue with slit pupils and a ring of darker blue around the edges.
"So, what do you think?"
"I like the new look" Naruto said, still looking at his reflection.
"Good, now, it's time for your tor- er, training to begin."
