Chapter 1
Naruto woke up two hours after the time he was supposed to meet at the bridge where Team 7 meets.
' Ne, Kyuu (1),are you awake?'
' Yea…'
' Kyuu… Do you think I should tell them about you?'
' Them, you mean you're so-called teammates? Why do you want to tell them?'
'Because… I don't think I can hold this anymore Kyuu…'
' Then don't… but I don't think you should tell them about me if you still want their friendship…'
' I don't care about that… I knew from the beginning that they don't even need me!!! All Haruno wants is the Uchiha not me!! And he!! He only need me to spar with him, besides, he's probably drown in hatred to even see me!! And, Hatake, he probably hates me because of Otou-san's (2) death!!!'
' Kit… Then tell them, you have my support. And even if they hate you in the end, I'll be here…'
' Arigatou, Kyuu…'
Naruto slowly washed up and eat his ramen. He then slowly strolled to the bridge. When he got there….
" Dobe, you're three hours late… Guess an idiot can't be on time huh?" Sasuke smirked.
" Yeah, Naruto's such an idiot." Sakura immediately agreed.
" Shut it, Uchiha. And fuck off, Haruno."
Sakura was shocked. Naruto actually called her to fuck off?
" Shocked Haruno?" Naruto chuckled.
" Naruto, why are you late and why are you calling them by their first-name?"
" Simple, I'm late because I've overslept. And to answer your second question… it's again, simple really… I'm just treating them the way they treated me… Hatake-san…" Naruto replied.
" Tch dobe… are you such an idiot that you don't even know what you're talking about?" Sasuke smirked.
" I'm not the idiot, you are… Tch… sometimes I wonder, are all those who have great abilities idiots? And they call you a prodigy…" Naruto sighed.
" NARUTO!!" Sasuke yelled. He clenched his fist and punched Naruto right in the face, breaking his nose.
" Ouch… " Naruto sighed as he moulded chakra. Not the normal chakra… the Kyuubi's chakra. And his nose was healed.
" That chakra… that isn't normal chakra isn't it Naruto?" Sakura asked.
" So, you finally noticed?" Naruto chuckled.
" Naruto!! You aren't going to do it, are you?" Kakashi asked, shocked.
" Oh, yes I am. And I don't care if your students can take it or not." Naruto smirked.
" But, that's against the village rules!!" Kakashi replied.
" That's for you adults. The rules stated that if I wanted to tell anyone about it, I could do so. You can ask baa-chan about it you know." Naruto replied.
Somewhere in the Hokage tower, a blond woman sneezed
" What are you two talking about!!" Sakura yelled.
" Ne, Haruno-san, want to know what the abnormal chakra is?" Naruto taunted. It was then the three noticed something. Naruto's eyes were emotionless.
" Ye… Yes…" Sakura replied.
" Fine then, Hatake-san, may I?" Naruto asked and smiled, eyes still kept the same. Kakashi could only nod in reply.
' Well, here goes nothing…'
' Don't worry kit. I'm still here…'
' Arigatou, Kyuu…'
" Sixteen years (3) ago, Kyuu… I mean the Kyuubi-no-Kitsune attacked Konoha… I'm sure you are told that fa… I mean our Forth Hokage, the Yondaime killed the Kyuubi, right?" Sasuke and Sakura nodded.
" That was just a lie. The Kyuubi wasn't killed. No, it can't be killed. The Forth was just a human, everyone is, hence, the Yondaime could only do one last thing to prevent the Kyuubi from destroying Konoha, he sealed it in a newborn baby. The baby was not even an hour old, but the forth had no choise, he had to be fast. And this baby was…" Naruto started crying here.
" THE BABY WAS MADE TO BE THE CONTAINER OF THE KYUUBI AND WAS HATED BY THE VILLAGERS OF THIS VILLAGE!!" Naruto yelled. He didn't care anymore. He didn't even care if they hated him too.
" Don't tell me… Sensei? " Sakura asked. She and Sasuke were shocked. Naruto is the demon's container?! Kakashi nodded.
" I won't believe it…" Sasuke stated.
" Then I'll make you believe it!!" Naruto yelled. He moulded Kyuubi's chakra again, making the seal appear. He then lifted his shirt up to reveal the seal.
" SEE THIS!! THIS IS THE SEAL PLACED ON ME!! AND YOU!! You hate me don't you? After all, I caused your sensei's death…"
" I… I don't…" It was all Kakashi could say now.
" Naruto… do… do you hate… the Yondaime?" Kakashi asked. He needed to know this.
" I don't. He's the Hokage; he had to do it for the village. Besides, I can't hate my father." Naruto stated.
" What?!" Kakashi exclaimed. Naruto was crying even harder that he begun to cough.
" Naruto!!" The three yelled out. But he had already ran off.
Naruto ran faster and faster, not caring about the villagers anymore. He ran till he found his destination, the Hokage tower. He moved up the stairs and found the room. The two ANBU saw Naruto coming and immediately let him in. Naruto muttered a quick "Arigatou" before dashing in.
" BAA-CHAN!!" Naruto yelled.
" Naruto… I told you not to – " Tsunade was cut off by a crying Naruto hugging dearly onto her.
" Naruto, what's wrong?" Tsunade asked softly.
" I… I couldn't… hold… on anymore… And… I told… them… about Kyuu…Then… I ran here…" Naruto cried even harder.
He kept repeating the words, "Baa-chan…"
" Shh… Shh… It's okay… " Tsunade was one of those who cared a lot about Naruto. The others are: Iruka, the two ANBUs – Tasuya and Reken (they were young but skilled ANBUs; they were born after the Kyuubi attack anyway), Shizune, Jiraiya and of course, Kyuubi.
" Tsunade-sama, you can have a break from paperwork!!" Shizune said, as she entered the room with some sake.
" Naruto-kun!! What's wrong with him Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked, almost dropping the sake.
" Shizune nii-chan…" Naruto whispered. He started to wipe his tears.
" You're tired, rest…" Tsunade whispered.
" But –" Naruto started to speak. But was cut off.
" Sleep." Tsunade insisted.
Naruto nodded and retreated into his mind, into the cage, and cuddled near Kyuubi's neck before falling asleep. Kyuubi wrapped one of her tails around Naruto like a blanket. Tsunade placed Naruto on a couch and motioned for Shizune to bring a blanket.
(1) – It's how Naruto calls Kyuubi
(2) – 'Otou-san' means 'father'
(3) – Naruto is 16 in this story.
