!Overpowered Naruto Fanfiction. !Good Kurama.
"Help me! Don't hurt me… Please," the young blonde boy sobbed, curling up in a ball. "No…" Silvery tears streamed down his pale cheeks, but they didn't deter the villagers who roared insults at him and beat him to the point of unconsciousness.
"No…" the blonde whispered as a ninja – he bore the forehead protector of Konoha – lifted a kunai to Naruto's eyes and sliced down. Naruto cried out in pain, then faded into blissful unconsciousness.
Uchiha Itachi, a stoic raven-haired man who was also extremely powerful, was on ANBU duty. He frowned as his sensitive ears picked up a child's scream coming from the south. Those idiots! What are they doing? The ANBU thought furiously. He was in the north now. He sighed, released the secret weights that he had, and sped off at superhuman speeds.
He appeared at Naruto's side a few minutes later. His coal black eyes burning with hidden fury, he unsheathed his katana and swiftly struck everyone who had attacked Naruto. Most of them were cleanly sliced in half, except the ninja who had sliced Naruto's eyes. He had managed to defend himself with the kunai, but was still marred with scars and bleeding badly.
"Weasel-sama!" Itachi turned to see his ANBU team. Being the ANBU captain at such a young age was impressive, and he was often treated with respect. He was inwardly pleased to see his ANBU team, although outwardly he displayed no emotion.
"Cat, Bird, Dog," Itachi stated, "Take this man to Ibiki." The said man paled and writhed under Itachi's firm hold.
Cat withdrew her sword and fell into position easily. She and Bird stood on each side of the cowering man while Dog brought up the rear, a kunai pointed at the man's back.
"Itachi-san."
Itachi turned to see the ANBU Tora. The masked man acted like a normal ANBU, but in truth – nobody knew except the Hokage and Itachi – the man was Shisui, Itachi's best friend.
"S – Tora," Itachi corrected himself hastily. "Where were you just now?"
"The west gates, sir," Tora said immediately. Let's just say that both Uchiha were very good actors. Nobody knew that they knew each other, much less were best friends.
"I see. Who is in your team?" Itachi asked flatly.
"Hare and Rooster, led by captain Eagle," Shisui said calmly.
"I see…" Itachi's eyes narrowed behind his mask. "So the team watching over the south gates must be Boar's team. Tora, please fetch Boar, Rat, Monkey and Snake."
"Hai, Weasel-sama!" Shisui saluted and disappeared in his trademark Body Flicker.
Itachi sighed as he picked up Naruto and disappeared in a blur of speed. He crashed into the hospital and stared at the hospital staff. "Get me a room for this boy. Now!" he demanded.
"ANBU-sama, isn't that the demon bo-!" The brunette didn't get to finish her sentence as a powerful kick from Itachi sent her flying across the room.
"Get me a room for him. Now," Itachi said, his voice dangerously low.
"H – hai!"
Itachi frowned. Where's my team? They should have finished giving that man to Ibiki by now… As if on cue, his team shimmered in beside him. "Weasel-sama?"
"Dog, watch over Naruto in his hospital room. You're as strong as me," Itachi said coolly. "Cat, report this to the Hokage. Bird, I sent Tora to retrieve Boar's team. He should be waiting at the place Naruto was assaulted. Bring them to Training Grounds 21. Now."
"Hai!" all three ANBU said simultaneously. Dog walked behind Itachi, who was still carrying Naruto, while Bird and Cat disappeared.
"Where… Where am I?" The young boy blinked open his eyes. "No… No!" he howled in alarm as he was met with only darkness. They gouged out my eyes! He remembered now.
"Shut up, Kit! Your loud voice is painful to my hypersensitive ears!" came a loud growl.
"Hyper what?" Naruto muttered. "What is that voice? And where am I?"
"You're in your mindscape, foolish mortal. You're standing outside my cage."
"Ehh… Cage? And what's a mortal?" the three-year-old boy said questioningly.
There was a loud resounding sound, as if a huge animal had just facepalmed himself. "This is going to take a while. Mortal is another word for human. I am the great Kyuubi no Yoko, most powerful of the Bijuu!"
"Oh… So you're the reason most villagers hate me," Naruto realized flatly.
"You don't seem as shocked as I thought you'd be, flesh-bag," Kyuubi rumbled. "You're quite – surprisingly – smart, then. That's good. Look, kit, my name's Kurama, and I have a proposition for you…"
"What's the catch?" the young boy's voice was wary.
"Bwahahaha! You're a smart one. I'll give you all the power in the world, and I'll let you see again…"
"This sounds too good to be true. As I said, what's the catch?" Naruto repeated. All the power in the world… Would I be more powerful than Sandaime-jiji?
"Oh, you'll make all the Kage look like ants," Kurama said airily. "Yes, there's a catch. I want freedom."
"No way!" Naruto declared. "You may go on another rampage."
"Hey, the attack on Konoha wasn't my fault!" Kurama retorted. "I was controlled by a man with a Sharingan. Therefore, if you won't grant me my freedom, I ask for a more pleasant scenery, free roaming of your mind… And the final task, for you to kill Uchiha Madara."
"Those three? I can probably do the first two easily…" Naruto mused.
"Yes. I just want to see Uchiha Madara dead!" Kurama snarled furiously. "If you promise to kill him – I don't care when or how you kill him, just make sure he's dead – I will give you power."
Naruto considered it. It took a lot to get a Bijuu to hate someone like that. This Madara person was probably a bad person. "I'll do it!" he vowed, then closed his eyes. "Umm… How do I do the first two things?"
Kyuubi sighed exasperatedly. "Ugh! Just imagine it!"
"Oh, okay! Thanks, Kurama-jiji!" Naruto said cheerfully. In an instant, the sewer changed into a valley, and Kurama was free, with just a black chain circling his front paw like an oversized bracelet.
"Good job Kit. You'd better get out of here now…" Kurama said. Naruto nodded and disappeared from his mind by 'waking up'. After he was gone, Kurama froze. Wait… WHAT did he just call me?!
