Summary: During the confrontation with Orochimaru in the chunin exams, Naruto's rage releases a small amount of Kyuubi's chakra. When Anko tries to fight Orochimaru the chakra breaks her curse seal and her fate is sealed because now… a snake owes a fox.

The clang of metal on metal rang through the forest as precisely 24 gennin teams tried to kill each other all for a precious scroll so that they could get promoted. To most this would be sickening, but the people in this forest weren't most. They were ninja and didn't pay a seconds notice to the carnage surrounding them. One team in particular was having a tougher time than most. Team 7 wouldn't have had much difficulty handling another gennin team. Even a pair of Chunin would have been a manageable task as proven on their first c-rank mission. Their current opponent however, was far more powerful than a simple Chunin, he was one of the most prodigious shinobi ever to be produced by Konoha. Orochimaru of the sannin was kicking their ass with ease. He laughed at the three gennin before him. Sakura stood on a tree branch shaking like a leaf as she desperately tried not to cry from the pressure and seeing her crush getting beaten to a pulp. Said crush, Sasuke Uchiha was engaging Orochimaru in taijutsu, his sharingan allowing him to at least not die instantly, he too was frightened but held it together. Their last team mate was otherwise engaged... inside the stomach of a giant snake.

"Kage bunshin no jutsu!" The snake expanded to a grotesque shape before exploding in a shower of orange clad blondes who all instantly took off in the direction of his team. After a minute at top speed he came to the clearing where they were fighting. Sakura was unconscious on the ground having fainted from the sheer killing intent in the air. For once Uzumaki Naruto did not even glance at her, choosing to send in all his clones to attack the pale man Sasuke was fighting. The clones flew in from every direction to kick and punch at him, all were sidestepped without even a glance until the real one came from above.

"Gotcha!" the already moving sannin stepped neatly to the side drawing Sasuke to where he was where Naruto landed a perfect punch on hi head before crashing into the tree branch they were on.

"Dobe! look where you're going," Orochimaru rushed forward to engage Sasuke again who quickly weaved hand seals.

"Katon: Gogakyu no jutsu" a fire ball spilled out of his mouth forcing Orochimaru to retreat and give Naruto time to recover.

"Yes, show me more jutsu Sasuke-kun, ku ku ku ku ku." The serpentine man shot forward. So did Naruto.

"Now, Sasuke!" Naruto shouted as he launched into a flurry of attacks that were blocked.

"Katon: Housenka no jutsu" Five smaller fireballs were launched at Orochimaru. He laughed and performed a seal-less jutsu that launched water shots cancelling out the fire before catching the shuriken hidden inside them.

"You have to do much better than that, ku ku ku," with a puff of smoke each shuriken transformed into a Naruto clone. The first one landed an uppercut to Orochimaru's jaw launching him into the air. The other four clones jumped up to follow him landing landing three kicks. Each clone shouted out a different phrase.

"U" "ZU" "MA" "KI!" until the final clone appeared above Orochimaru and sent him crashing into the ground with a vicious ax kick and a shout of,

"UZUMAKI RENDAN!" Orochimaru crashed into the ground with blood leaking from his cracked skull and his eyes glazed over, before the entire body turned into mud.

"Ku ku ku, I must admit, I am impressed, not many gennin can the drop on me, even a clone. I think you have proven worthy of my little gift." His neck suddenly extended and his head shot towards Sasuke's neck. As his teeth sank into Sasuke's jugular, Sasuke nearly vomited for two reasons. First, he was disgusted by the knowledge that such a vile man currently had his mouth anywhere near him. Second, the pain was absolutely unbearable. His neck was on fire and he could feel it coursing through his veins, burning away the sanity in him and changing him at a base level. Finally the pain became too much and he fell to the ground clutching his neck in a fit of spasms. Naruto growled in anger and turned to Orochimaru, his eyes seemed to flicker briefly from his ocean blue eyes to a chilling and malicious red.

Elsewhere in the forest Mitarashi Anko was desperately racing towards the most powerful chakra signature she could feel. Her teacher was here, she couldn't believe it. After all these years she was finally going to be able to kill him and redeem herself. She had dreamed of this moment ever since her abandonment at the hands of that monster and now racing through the god forsaken training ground 44, her dream was to become reality.

xXxXx

"What did you do to Sasuke?" Naruto's eyes began flickering between his natural blue and demonic scarlet.

"I merely gave him a gift Naruto-kun, he will wake up much stronger than before. I would give you the same thing but i'm afraid Kyuubi's chakra is far too potent to be controlled by my seal. It would never work, i'll have to make do with you following dear Sasuke into my clutches." Orochimaru chuckled shortly but suddenly stopped when he felt an ominous presence. Turning back to face Naruto he became both excited and even slightly afraid. His eyes weren't flickering anymore, the Kyuubi was slowly escaping.

"You teme! I'll make you pay for touching him! Acting like his life doesn't even matter." Kyuubi's chakra flowed around him like a shroud and a single chakra tail waved behind him. Naruto launched forward much faster than before, the moment of surprise allowed him to get a solid punch into Orochimaru's jaw but he quickly recovered and counter attacked.

Anko could feel the chakra signature of her former sensei getting close when she suddenly felt another presence that made her blood run cold.

Suddenly a mini one tailed Kyuubi burst into view as it was sent flying past and crashed into a tree. Naruto got up and spat blood wiping his mouth on his torn sleeve.

"Naruto! get out of here now, I'll take Orochimaru, he's way out of your league even with the Kyuubi helping you!" Anko barked the order at him.

"I'm not going anywhere," Naruto shouted in reply, he was about to attack again when he felt an iron grip on his arm and was thrown far away, landing next to Sakura who had woken up, sensing the Kyuubi's killing intent. She quickly picked him up and ran over to the recovering Sasuke. Together they ran away from the fight now thoroughly humbled by the sannin's power.

Anko however was now gritting her teeth at the intense pain travelling from her hand to the rest of her body. Her blood boiled, her nerve endings were on fire and her eyes watered as she tried to stop herself from sobbing. Kyuubi's chakra was coursing through her system even the single brief contact with Naruto had been enough for it to leap to her, the poisonous chakra invading her body. She didn't know it but the chakra was so toxic that it was burning away all the impurities in her body, burning away anything that wasn't protected by her own chakra. Then it encountered the cursed seal of heaven. The cursed seal instantly activated at the presence of the foreign chakra, breaking through all the suppression seals surrounding it and attempting to expel the toxic chakra. However the seal did not know what it was up against. Kyuubi's chakra consumed the vile seal in seconds before completely obliterating the opposing chakra freeing Anko without even meaning to.

Anko collapsed on the ground phasing in and out of consciousness as she clawed at the fading ink on her neck tears streaming from her eyes. Orochimaru's eyes widened as he took in the scene before him, the unexpected reaction taking place both intrigued and even frightened him. The fact that the Kyuubi's chakra, powerful as it was could so easily overpower his masterpiece creation was scary to the sannin. He briefly considered killing Anko right now while she was vulnerable but the scientist inside him was curious as to how much this would do to her. Additionally he always did have a certain twisted fondness for the tortured child and would hate to see the effort he put into shaping her as a ninja go to waste, even if it was for his former village. Instead he gave one final warning before leaving her to be found by ANBU.

"Don't cancel the exams, the results may be most unpleasant for all of you, especially Sasuke-kun." With that he left as she slipped into blissful unconsciousness.

Naruto sat up in a regrettably familiar environment. The floor was covered in water and the halls looked like that of a sewer, the mind of the Uzumaki was not a pleasant place to be at all. He walked up to Kyuubi's cage.

"Why am I here? What the hell happened back there...? Answer me baka fox!" As soon as the insult escaped his lips a massive paw slammed into the cage effectively silencing Naruto. The fox's face came into view, a single glaring eye as large as Naruto himself.

"You are here because you are weak, what happened back there was you were weak and i will not answer you... because you are weak. My chakra is the most potent force on this earth and yet you get beaten in seconds even with it under your command, your rage was pathetic and of no concern to that cursed snake. You are the container of the Kyuubi no Kitsune and yet the Ichibi laughs at you."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean? I'm an awesome nin-"

"YOU ARE PATHETIC! and i will stand for it no more! If i am to spend the rest of my days until i die with you taken along by this damn seal then i will not be contained by the most hare brained shinobi to ever live. I cannot allow you to die before you have even killed, i refuse to die here and so I need time to break this seal meaning i need you alive for now so that i can taste the thrill of spilled blood once again."

"Well then what are you gonna do about it baka fox? You're stuck in that cage and i'm all the way out here so you can't do jack shit." Naruto burst out laughing, you say i'm pathetic but you can't beat that can yo-" He was cut off mid sentence once again, this time by the large rush of chakra that swept past the bars of the cage straight towards him. Naruto panicked causing him to trip and fall to the ground, the chakra quickly surrounded him and encased him in a cocoon.

"You may not know it now but you will thank me for this when you wake." Naruto's last thought before the pain sent him into true sleep was 'I fucking doubt that.'

xXxXx

Naruto cracked open his eyes blearily, trying to take in the scene around him. The painful white of the walls around told him where he was lying and the headache that was splitting his skull apart told him the rest. The machines around him beeped steadily telling him he was mostly okay and confirming that he was sitting in the medical wing of the tower. There were various notes wishing him well on the table beside him. Even more noticeable was the ANBU guard around the room but he didn't pay particular attention to any of that. Naruto had eyes only for the straps holding him firmly in place on the table with no room to move at all.

"What the hell is going on here!" he shouted at the ANBU as he tried to escape his restraints. "Why am i tied up?" an ANBU with a rabbit mask merely nodded at another bearing an ox mask. The ox masked one left immediately in a silent shunshin before the rabbit masked one turned back to him.

"Calm down Uzumaki-san, the Hokage is on his way and he will explain everything. The bindings are... a precaution to help make our job easier and keep you safe from yourself." Naruto continued to glower but did not put up much fuss at the mention of his jiji coming. The blonde sat and waited for a few minutes glaring straight ahead. With his head tied he couldn't look anywhere else. the Sandaime entered the room unexpectedly followed by Anko. The Hokage greeted him with warm smile and a friendly greeting.

"It is good to see you awake Naruto-kun, untie him please captain." The rabbit masked ANBU stepped forward and released the blonde who stood up immediately. That's when he looked down and saw something completely wrong with his body, he looked like he was in his prime, his hospital gown did little to conceal the muscle bound chest that now comprised his torso.

"What happened to me?! I look like I'm in my twenties now!" Naruto frantically looked up and down himself observing his new bell and trying to get used to the sight.

"Naruto calm down please, we will explain everything if you just take a seat." Naruto sat down and took a few deep breaths to calm himself before looking up at his jiji, eyes pleading for an explanation. As he looked at Hiruzen he also noticed Anko staring at him, it was an odd expression, a mixture of disbelief, awe, overwhelming gratitude and was that... lust? The look confused him briefly but Sarutobi chose that moment to begin speaking.

"Okay here's what we know, half a day after Orochimaru knocked you out your team arrived here at the tower dragging you behind them looking half dead. We rushed you to the medical wing and the medics began to treat you for chakra burns. That's when it happened, Kyuubi's chakra started going crazy and you began thrashing around uncontrollably, the medics had to strap you down so that you didn't hurt anyone including yourself. The chakra continued though swirling around and your body began changing rapidly, growing older and stronger. You finally settled down a couple of hours ago and now we're here. As far as we can tell there are no harmful effects. You have more chakra, you are stronger, more resilient and even your brain is more developed. It's as if you just spent 12 years training hard and are now beginning your prime." Turning away he briefly muttered something under his breath along the lines of "lucky bastard." Suddenly Kyuubi's voice rang through Naruto's head.

"Naruto, listen here and listen well I don't have much time, I am using my residual chakra left in your system to talk so don't get used to it, it's a onetime thing. I directed my chakra to changing your body this way, no longer will I be at risk of being killed because my container is weakling like you were. Your body is at its strongest now but there's more, I have also planted knowledge in your head, you have abilities on par with even that lazy sensei of yours and jutsu ability to match. Your shinobi instincts have been tuned and your speed and accuracy have also shot up but DON'T GET LAZY! You may have this now but you must maintain it and there is ALWAYS room for improvement, do allow yourself to fall into weakness." Kyuubi's voice faded with those final words and Naruto could tell the connection was broken. He looked up, pale as a ghost and somewhat uncomprehending. Turning to Sarutobi he spoke.

"Kyuubi talked to me, he said there's more to it than what you told me. Apparently he gave me 12 years worth of training my mind as well so now I'm smarter and better than before, this is gonna take some getting used to." Now that Kyuubi had told him he could indeed feel the difference in his mind, he saw things differently and could think more clearly than ever before.

"What? Kyuubi spoke to you? I'm not sure i trust him Naruto, as good as this seems i think we should do some testing before the next exam begins, please meet me at the training dojo in two hours when you're a bit more rested." With that he swept out of the room and the ANBU quickly followed suit. Naruto made to leave as well but was quickly stopped by Anko's hand on his shoulder spinning him around and all of a sudden a pair of lips crashed into his making his eyes widen in shock. Taking his moment of shock Anko made sure to deepen the kiss and slip her tongue into his mouth. This served to wake him up though and he gently pushed her away from him still sporting a confused expression.

"What was that for?" At this the playful grin Anko had been sporting disappeared and was replaced by something similar to grudging thanks.

"It was to say thank you brat you have no idea what you did for me in that forest... you freed me from Orochimaru, for the first time in years i can stop looking behind and focus ahead." She muttered the last part to herself.

"What do you mean by that?" She seemed to consider the question for a bit before deciding he deserved an answer. So she began to explain everything that had happened in her life, from the moment that she had become the snake sannin's apprentice, to mere hours ago when Naruto had broken the curse seal and his hold on her forever. Naruto found himself following the story with rapt attention as he couldn't help but see so many similarities between his life and her's, the only difference was her life had been twice as long so far. By the time her story was done the two hours before his spar were nearly up and Anko seemed a little downcast as she thought of all the horrible things that had happened throughout her life. Her playful grin came back suddenly and she dropped Naruto a sly wink and a smirk.

"So now you understand the kiss, now you know just how much I owe you for what you did and i don't think I'll ever be able to pay this debt back," she said as she sidled up to him in a sultry manner somewhat unnerving him. Yet he did understand. He understood perfectly how she felt and all he had to do was imagine what it would be like if someone took the Kyuubi out of him, it would be instant adoration. At the same time he was a little unsure of what to do about this curvy and beautiful kunoichi getting as far into his personal space as she could, hearing her story he couldn't help but now genuinely care for her in a way only someone like them could and so her getting so close was getting him a bit worked up.

"I think I do know Anko, i know exactly how you feel actually." He smiled at her and hugged her in consolation. She seemed shocked for a moment before she leaned into the hug and enjoyed the warmth he radiated. The move had surprised her somewhat, most guys she had gotten this physically close to would try for a lot more than a hug. They all quickly found them self in a bloody mess on the ground when they tried funny business like that but Naruto just wanted to comfort her, it was incredible. Thinking about this she leaned up and passionately kissed him again. Naruto was only slightly less taken aback this time around and still couldn't do anything but enjoy it until she broke it off.

"What was that one for?" he asked with a confused look.

"That time it was for being understanding and not trying anything, i'd probably be willing to do anything for you right now but you didn't try anything at all," her grinned broadened until it was both scary but also quite enticing as she added, "plus your new body makes you pretty hot, i bet you're a stud now." Naruto just stuttered wordlessly at that and her grin threatened to split her face with how wide it grew when she got this reaction out of him. "You should get to the dojo, you don't want to be late for the Hokage's test. Satisfied with her 'win' over him she sauntered off swaying her hips invitingly for him as she left to complete her proctor duties. She looked over her shoulder and called out to him just before she was out of sight, "and remember Naruto-kun, any time you need me... I'll be there from now on." Naruto nodded his thanks and left to find the dojo for his test not noticing his own smile as all he could think about now was that he was very much looking forward to the next time he'd see Anko already thinking about something he wanted to ask her to do, because now... a snake owes a fox.

xXxXx

And that's the end of my first ever chapter. I hope you enjoyed this as much as i enjoyed writing it, special thanks to Digitize27 for his help and advice in establishing Naruto's age change and giving me some suggestions as to how to break Anko's curse seal. I will be updating this story hopefully once a week so if you enjoyed do not worry there will be updates coming fast. Yes Kyuubi will be back just not through a mental link like in some fics, i find it slightly unrealistic that some people portray him as apologetic and helpful to Naruto so i hope you found my portrayal of him realistic.

Other than that i welcome PM's and encourage you to review my story... seriously, review.

Until next week, Kyuubi out.
