Chapter 1: The Understanding

"Sauske, sauske wait!" Naruto was screaming out at the top of his lungs. It seemed no matter what he said to him, he wouldn't stop to listen. He kept on getting farther and farther away, as naruto was being pulled down by a strong force of some kind. Eventually, Sauske was gone, and Naruto was in a bottomless pit of despair. Suddenly he woke up with a jolt. "Ugh, what was that?" he was in the hospital, sitting up in the bed, with a flower at his bedside, and the window shades open. It was morning, and he had just woken up after an over exhausting day of training in the chamber on the unknown island in the hidden cloud village.
Killer Bee came in through the door, along with kakashi and yamato following behind. "Well, it seems your fine as usual" announced kakashi. "No surprise when you come to see, he's the ninth jinchuuriki, weeeeeeeee!" rapped killer bee. "Will you stop rapping!" yelled Yamato, annoyed. Naruto chuckled at this. "Well anyways, it seems that you should be ready to get back to training in a couple of days. Make sure you rest up and eat your vegetables." Kakashi brought out a basket of veggies. "Aw, I don't need that! All I need are about 5 bowls of Ichiraku ramen, and i'll be rearing to go!" Kakashi sighed, and everyone left, wishing him good health, and that they would return later.
"Hm, how do you deal with those people, they seem too concerned with themselves to care about scum like you, Naruto"The sudden talk jolted naruto for a second, and then realized it was the kyuubi. "What are you talking about? They obviously care about me, and anyways, how come you've become so chatty these past few days. Have you calmed down by feeding on my chakra, perhaps?" "Insolent child, I've never had need for such weak chakra in all of my life! It's just, how can you stand them? They were the ones who tortured you, knocked you over, and exiled you from everywhere in the village. You should know that they don't care about you, no matter what they say, child!" Naruto just sighed in response.
"You should know that they only did that because they feared you, and not me. It's not my fault you almost destroyed the village!" The Nine Tails looked at him with disgust. "You stupid child, you don't know what actually happened back then do you?"Naruto stared, then replied "Of course I do, you went on a rampage and almost destroyed the village, along with killing both of my parents!" "No, that's not what happened. I was being controlled by a man called Madara Uchiha, with his sharingan, and made me go on a rampage on the hidden leaf village, and I hated it, with complete disgust for madara, and forwhat he made me do. I may be a bijuu, but I have more control than that of my powers"Naruto stared in disarray. The very beast made out to be the killer in the hidden leaf, was actually being controlled by an uchiha from the hidden leaf? Naruto thought about what he was saying, and took the factors of that time into consideration. He was right, considering what his father and mother had told him in his self conscious. "Wait, so that time, you were being controlled?" "Yes, at least now, one person knows the truth".
Naruto spoke to the kyuubi a little more, questioning how the tailed beasts started out, and how many jinchuuriki were before him, other than his mother. After the conversation, Naruto left his sub conscious, and opened his eyes up. He found that while he was talking, and becoming friendlier with the kyuubi, his wounds had healed much quicker than usual, and was ready for more training. He thanked the kyuubi, and got out of bed, jumping out of the window, and landing on the ground. Killer Bee was over in the training room, practicing against kakashi and yamato. Naruto came walking in, fully revived, and ready to go. They all stopped and stared, wondering why he was there. "Shouldn't you be healing up in the infirmary, with your broken leg and back!?" questioned yamato. "Nope, I'm all good and ready to get back to training!" Killer Bee turned back into his human form, and bumped fists with Naruto. "Oh, I see what has been done, you and the kyuubi are now just one!" Kakashi and Yamato stood there, eyes wide open. "s-so can you go tailed beast mode," questioned yamato and kakashi. "Yeah, I guess so, Kurama?" Naruto and Kurama changed places, and they were able to tell by the markings on his face and his eyes. "It all depends on how I feel, and what situation were it"
Everyone was in awe with the kyuubi. "So this is the Nine Tailed Fox, huh? I never would of expected you to be so sain. Everyone always says that the Nine Tails is a huge mass of hatred and evil" says yamato. "Well rumors are just rumors; you can't believe everything everyone says. You can only get the truth from the source. Anyways, shouldn't we start training?"Naruto switches out with Kurama, and agrees with his statement. "Yeah, let's get started!" Killer Bee turns back into his tailed beast form, and tells Naruto to do the same.
Naruto starts to gather up the nine tails chakra, forming the bubbling cloak around his body, then turning into yellow flames, and eventually turning into the newest nine tails cloak. After that, he put his hands together to focus the nine tails chakra, and a huge amount of nine tails chakra came spewing out, enveloping naruto, and eventually formed into the nine tailed fox. But this was different. The nine tails had a yellow color and glow, with naruto at the base of the skull, with a chakra robe and kyuubi eyes, along with the facial markings being thickened, but not, pointed, along with enlarged k9's. Soon afterwards, Naruto and Bee, along with Kurama and Hachibi, began practicing their Bijuu-dama, and soon mastered that technique, with kurama's help. Soon after, they left the room, and headed back to Konaha on the ship Yamato had fixed when they came. As soon as they got to the gates of Konaha, they could tell that something was wrong. "Hey, where is everybody?" asked Naruto. "Yeah, I can't see anyone at the front gates or feel anyone's chakra in the village" said kakashi. "Let's go on a search, and see what happened to them. Well meet back up at the Hokage's mansion, got it?" "Yes" announced everybody and they spread out.
Naruto first went to Sakura's house, and knocked on the door, calling out if she was home. It seemed that she wasn't home, so he came through the window to get a closer look. When he got it, the house was a mess, and everything was soaked and cut in half. After he left, and surveyed the other houses, they all had the same damage done to the inside, yet the outside was completely unscathed. He had finished up, when he noticed kunai and shuriken on the roof or some houses. They looked like they had come from the hidden rain village. Naruto quickly ran to the Hokage's mansion, jumping onto the top with the kyuubi's chakra to give him a boost.
When he got on top of the mansion, he noticed that they're were black rods sticking out of the roof, and the fifth hokage laying there on the roof, with rods sticking out of her arms, stabbed into her, and a pool of blood surrounding her. Naruto yelled for everyone to return to the meeting point, and everyone ran to the mansion. As soon as they got there, Naruto summoned Gamabunta, and told him to take her to Mount Myoboku, so that the sage frogs could heal her. He disappeared in a puff, and Naruto then told them the information. "Are you sure that it was the hidden rain?" "These are the same rods that Pain used against me in the battle, so I'm sure. We need to head over there right away." Everyone agreed to his statement, and immediately started running for the hidden rain village.
To speed up the time, Naruto went full tailed beast mode, and carried everyone to the hidden rain village."Are you that worried about those villagers to risk your own life?" The kyuubi was sitting down in his open cell, and naruto was on top of his head. "Well of course, my friends were captured, and they also beat up Tsunade pretty badly. I can't forgive them for what they've done to my friends, or the people of the hidden leaf!" Kurama thought about this, and Naruto went back out of his sub conscious.
Once they reached the hidden rain village, Naruto turned back to normal, and entered the hidden rain with everyone else. Once they entered, Naruto was able to feel the villager's chakra, and alerted everyone to where they were. Using his giant rasengan, he broke through the floor where the villagers were being held captive. All of the sudden, the floor rebounded his rasengan, even though he broke through the flooring, and he saw an invisible barrier that rebounded his rasengan. All of the villagers were down there, with weird machines stuck to their back. "Sakura! Konohamaru! Hinata!" Naruto screamed, but no one could hear him. "They can't hear you because that's a 22 layered barrier. Anything past 15 is soundproof, idiot. Even you should know that one. You have to break through it with a bijuu-dama." "Ok, then that shouldn't be too hard, ill just blast it open then""No you idiot, do you want to kill everyone! You can't just blow it up, god, I thought even you should of known that one, with all that talk about saving everyone." "Ok, then I'll make a mini bijuu-dama" Naruto then when full beast mode, and sucked up the chakra into his chakra robe, leaving just him. He then told killer bee to protect everyone from the blast, and he did so. Naruto then started to create a mini bijuu-dama, and blasted it onto the weakest point in the barrier, and broke through it. The barrier dispersed, and the villager quickly noticed the shatter, blinded by the light.
Naruto then jumped down in full chakra robe, and said "Is everyone o.k.?" Sakura then looked up, along with everyone else, and noticed him. "Naruto, i-is that you?" He quickly turned to her, and broke the machine on her back with his mini rasenshuriken. Killer Bee and everyone else then jumped down, and help break the rest of the machines off they're back. Suddenly, the ceilings and walls started to collapse around them, and everybody froze. They thought they were dead, but a roof of bright yellow chakra was quickly above them, in the form of the kyuubi's hands. The people were amazed at it, and wondered where it was coming from. They all turned to see Naruto in full bijuu mode, surrounding them with the kyuubi's chakra. He then quickly scooped them up, and broke through the rest of the room, and landing on the floor. He released the people onto the floor, and they were all gaping in awe and fear at Naruto.
Konohamaru was so amazed that he jumped up onto Kurama, and ran straight to Naruto. "Oh my god, Naruto, you are so cool! What is this, anyways, did you get fire type or electric type chakra as your second chakra nature!?" Naruto finally turned to look at him, and Konohamaru noticed his eyes and his face. "What's wrong with your face, Naruto? Did you get hurt?" Naruto replied,"No, this is the chakra of the nine tailed fox, Kurama." Konohamaru finally realized it. "Then you're the, the jinchuuriki!?" Naruto replied "Yeah, I'm the jinchuuriki". Konohamaru and every other genin and chunin were all gaping in amazement and fear at him. "That's why he's not treated fairly, because he is the nine tailed fox!" a mother screamed at him as she held her baby in her arms. Naruto then quickly sealed away kurama's chakra back into his robe, and brought down Konohamaru promptly with him. He stepped back a couple of steps, and his friends ran over to his side, feared by Naruto.
"Kurama didn't destroy the village 15 years ago on purpose, he was being controlled by a man named Madara Uchiha, who was planning on using him to completely destroy the village, but my dad stopped him, with the help of my mom, and saved the village, along with sealing the nine tails inside of me. It's about time I told the village the truth anyways, it's been a secret for far too long." He made his cloak dissipate, and allowed Kurama to speak. The people saw the nine tails eyes and facial marking, and hid a little bit. Killer Bee also brought out the eight tails in full beast mode, and allowed him to speak as well."I am the Nine Tailed fox, Kurama. We bijuu do not mean to harm the people of the hidden leaf, rain, or cloud. I was being controlled, as Naruto said earlier, by an Uchiha named Madara. The Fourth Hokage sealed me into Naruto so that he could learn to control me, and, by truth, I believe that he succeeded in this, along with bringing a great ally to the Hidden Leaf."Naruto looked up at Kurama in his mind, and he just grinned at him. Naruto was surprised by what he said, and grinned back at him. We Tailed beasts were once one huge beast, called the ten tails, befriended by the sage of the six paths. We were separated into tailed beasts because he was dying. After his death, we were spread across the country to aid in the ninja world."
When they were both finished, the villagers stood up properly, and began to crowd around Naruto. "Wait, what-" the villagers started to pick up Kurama, and started to toss him into the air. " What are they doing to me, Na-Naaarrruuutttooo!?" " They're congratulating you for saving them from the hidden rain village. Take it as a compliment." Kurama then acknowledged Naruto for being one of the only true people to recognize him as more than a beast. "Hm, maybe humans aren't that bad after all." As they finished, Kurama said "I've never had that happen to me before, and, I still find you humans annoying and odd, but, I am a little bit less spiteful because of this"
After that, Naruto switched back with Kurama, and thanked the villagers for their praise to Kurama. The villagers were still weak from the devices, and they were barely able to walk, so Naruto turned back to his full bijuu mode, and carried his friends back on kurama's back, and the Hachibi carried the rest in his arms. As they were going home, Konohamaru, Sakura, and everyone else came towards the head of Kurama and sat around Naruto.
Naruto turned around and questioned "wh-what are you doing, shouldn't you guys be resting!? Come on, go rest before you knock out." "Were in too much debt for sleep" said Sakura "anyways, what happened to lady Tsunade?" Naruto turned away, and replied," She got beaten up pretty badly, with rods stuck into her arms. I had Gamabunta take her to Mount Myoboku, and had her healed by the toad sages, so she should be fine" Sakura looked at him with worry, but was then reassured when she heard that she was being taken care of. "Well at least she'll be fine!" she said with a smile. "Man Naruto, you and Kurama are so cool, we need to have a rematch when we get back to the village!" Konohamaru said confidently. "Yeah, I can't wait to fight you again, and this time, well be ready!" Naruto smiled with that, and turned back around to focus on heading home. Soon after, everyone fell asleep from exhaustion, and Naruto and the Hachibi started to run back to the Hidden Leaf.
