Prologue
Uzumaki Naruto struggled onto his feet as he faced the giant snake. The blond shinobi and his fellow Chuunin, Uchiha Sasuke, were hired to investigate the sighting of a strange snake in the forest.
Speaking of Sasuke, the Uchiha was staring at the serpent, avoiding its eyes, looking for a weakness to exploit. It's been a year since Naruto dragged Sasuke back to Konoha, and things almost went back to normal.
It took quite some time before Sasuke earned back the trust in him; also, grudgingly or not, Naruto was given more respect at his return.
The snake hissed; its yellow eyes stared at the two shinobi. It can easily camouflage itself if the strange vivid purple patterns on its body don't give its position away. Besides its colouring, the only thing that's special about the serpent is control growth. The snake can grow and shrunk if it pleases, making it a tricky opponent to deal with.
"Let's do it, Sasuke!" Naruto exclaimed, receiving a nod from the Uchiha. Then, Naruto form the hand seal to one of his infamous technique.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Producing nine clones, all ten of them, including the real Naruto, leaped onto the now seven foot tall serpent, holding it down. The snake hissed in angered and bite the real Naruto's right arm, whether by pure luck or not, the serpent injected its poison into the blond.
"Arg!" The vessel of Kyuubi cried out in pain, but he holds onto the snake, trying his best to ignore the pain the poison make, as it slowly spread out from his arm.
"Naruto!" Sasuke cried out, fearing for his friend's, and secret crush's, life.
-----
From within Naruto's body, the infamous nine-tailed demon, Kyuubi, growled in irritation from inside his prison.
"What kind of poison is this?!" Kyuubi growled. The demon can normally heal his host from minor injuries and non-fatal poisons. The serpent's poison, however, was different. Looking through Naruto's eyes, the youko saw the snake's eyes glow and a white spot appeared on the serpent's head, making him snarl in anger. "Grrr, a blasted Basilisk!"
To say Kyuubi disliked the Basilisk, greatest of all serpents, is the understatement of the century. There's no exact word that can describe his hatred towards the basilisks.
This basilisk in particular, has special poison that can absorb the life out of a creature, even a demon, slowly; if an antidote, which is hard to find, isn't given in time, even the greatest can fall before it and often drove the most stoic into madness.
-----
Ignoring the growing pain in his arm, Naruto and his clones get into position to execute one of their techniques.
Then, four clones slide towards the (though they didn't know yet) basilisk, and kicked it high in the air with all their strength (the serpent is quite heavy). Naruto jumped off from a clone's back into the air and position himself to kick the basilisk.
"Uzumaki Naruto Rengen!"
After sending the serpent falling down towards the ground, just before the basilisk landed, the clones slowly disappear in puff of smokes. Naruto winced, but quickly moved out of the way for Sasuke.
The Uchiha move his hands to form some hand seals, concentrating his chakra before he breathed out multiple fireballs.
"Katon: Housenka no Jutsu!"
The basilisk hissed in pain; sure it's cold-blooded creature and need heat to survive, but too much heat can roast it alive.
"You may have defeated me, vessssel! But my poissssson will take affect in your body!" The basilisk hissed out, but only the blond shinobi can understand the serpent, having a demon who hates the basilisk helps in communication. The basilisk lay down its head and closes its eyes, now officially dead.
As the basilisk promised, just after the serpent died, the pain suddenly increased, causing Naruto to grab his injured arm and feel down to his knees, causing the blonde to cry out in pain. "Ahh!"
"Naruto! Are you alright?" Sasuke asked, as he kneeled down beside Naruto. Despite his attitude, the raven-hair shinobi's feelings for the blond have changed from plain rivals to something more, much more.
"Sasuke..." Naruto managed to said, before another sudden increased of pain appears and his life slowly beginning to drained.
'Hey, kit. You better owe me for this.' Kyuubi said to Naruto, mentally.
The youko quickly took control of the body, much to his host's protest. The Naruto's blue eyes turn crimson and the whisker scars sharpen, as well his hands grow claws and fangs in his mouth.
"Naruto?" Sasuke clearly recognised those features, especially during the Chuunin Exams.
The now foxed Naruto moved his hands to form hand seals so fast that Sasuke's Sharingan couldn't even copy them.
"Kinjutsu: Tensei no Jutsu." Kyuubi said through Naruto's mouth.
"Dobe, what are you doing?!"
The foxed shinobi looked at the Uchiha, as he was slowly surrounded by red lights, which was steadily faded into white.
"Tell Tsunade that she have permission to tell you about it." Kyuubi said to Sasuke.
"Tell me about what? Naruto!" Sasuke shouted, when the foxed shinobi was completely surrounded by white light. When the lights fade, Uzumarki Naruto was gone.
-----
A brunet boy sat up suddenly in his bed, breathing heavily as he wipes his forehead.
That dream again, what does it mean? The brunet thought, before lying down and went back to sleep.
Deep inside the boy, a certain demon watched the brunet, no longer sealed inside a prison, due to the demonic technique. However, he held no interest in a rampage right now.
'All your memories will return, kit.' Kyuubi murmured, as he watched the boy turned over to one side. 'For now, I'll wait until that time comes, Kanbara Takuya.'
To be continued...
Author's Note: I stand by my reasoning for using a Basilisk, it is better then creating a random ninja to take out Naruto. Also, just renamed the reincarnation technique; if there's a better suggestion, I'm open for them. Reviews and constructive criticisms accepted, as per usual.
