The Story Begins:
Namikaze Minato stood atop his summon looking at the creature that had came and ruined the day that should have the best in his life; the birth of his first son. But now Minato stood there his newborn son in his arms his only family in the world now that his wife had pasted during childbirth. He looked down at his son before biting his thumb and quickly began to write small seals upon his stomach. He let out a sigh as he finished the last seal and had Gamabunta intersect the beast's path.
Battlefield…
"Hold the attack and wait for the Yondaime Hokage" a random chunin screamed before he jumped forward towards the nearing the creature
"It's getting closer don't let it near the village" screamed another as the shinobi continued to pelt the Youko with shuriken and other projectiles. A sounding crash could be heard as Gamabunta arrived at the battlefield and atop stood the Yondaime.
The beast's attention shifted from the minimal threat of the shinobi below to the large toad that stood across the forest. The beast snarled and readied itself to pounce of the toad when a blinding light erupted from the top of its head. Before the devil could react it felt its soul being ripped from its body and pushed into a cage.
With Minato…
Minato stood, using a tree for support as he watched the seal stop glowing indicating that the seal had set and his village had been saved. As he watched his son play with his thumb; a sad smile spread across his lips.
"Sensei!" he looked to see his last surviving student, Hatake Kakashi running through the forest to him. He landed in front of him and panted slightly.
"Kakashi, come here take Naruto" his student walked closer and took the child from his sensei's dying arms. "Kakashi take him to the Sandaime"
"But what about you sensei" the silver haired jounin yelled
"Kakashi; promise me" he could feel his soul beginning the leave him
"Wha"
"Promise me that you will protect Naruto; promise to protect my son" Kakashi looked down at the child with in a new found light. He looked back to see his eyes were closed and his breathing was almost undetectable. He turned and leapt back in the direction of the Hokage tower.
Minato open his eyes and watch as Kakashi left with his son 'I'm sorry Naruto the burden I have set on you I can only hope you can forgive me for someday' he closed his again and breathed in and out till his chest was still once and for all.
Hokage Tower (2 days later)…
Sarutobi stood beside Kakashi looking down at the infant; as he slept silently. It had been a day since Sarutobi had announced that the Yondaime had sealed the Kyuubi into Naruto; the result was less than positive. Screams for blood and death had erupted from the mouths of nearly every villager and especially the village shinobi.
Kakashi turned his gaze from the infant to the old man. "Hokage-sama; what will you do now soon the entire village will know about the Kyuubi and Naruto will have to live fearing for his entire that his own home village is trying to kill him"
"The only thing I can do is forbid them from telling the younger generations and hope we can bring Naruto some kind of happiness" the old man said as he stepped to the window and watched as his village rebuilt the damage that had been received 'Naruto I can only pray that village can someday truly see you as you and not the beast that you keep them safe from' he let out a sigh before taking his pipe in hand and lighting it
3 Years later
Uzumaki Naruto walked through Konoha's streets admiring the beautiful lights and sounds of the festival. Usually he would wait for the Hokage or his Ni-san to come and take him; but the old man had told him that council had called another "emergency" pre-festival meeting; which manly consisted of listing inventory and making sure that the arrangements were in order and his ni-san was stuck on guard duty at the gate. So he did what any courageous 3-year old would do.
He went by himself.
As he walked through the streets he failed to notice that he passed began to whisper between each other. Naruto continued to walking through the crowded streets till he came to an open plaza. Stands full of foods, masks, games, and other souvenirs lined the circumference of the circular commons; in the center of the plaza was a large stage.
On the large stage was a forest back drop; along with four actors three were dressed in shinobi garb and the final on was dressed in a hideous suit of red fur. The figures eyes were enlarged and one could clearly see veins running into them; its pupils were small and held an aura insanity. Behind it nine tails, with the same red fur as the main body hung limply behind as the actor growled and snarled at the others. The 'shinobi' began throwing false shuriken at the beast; that snarled and roared in return.
Naruto for a reason he couldn't really explain was drawn the fox-like character; even thou he found it ugly it was the most appealing.
"Hold the attack and wait for the Yondaime Hokage" yelled the shinobi to the left. The fox snarled again and then roared again this time confetti erupted from its mouth spraying over the shinobi who fell against the attack in a cry of pain.
"Yah; cool" Naruto yelled fully enthralled by the performance; which caused multiple people standing nearby to glare and sneer at Naruto who couldn't care at the moment as a new character entered the stage
The new character had golden blonde hair, glowing blue eyes and a dazzling smile; everything about the figure screamed hero. He wore shinobi clothes like the others except he had an almost shining white coat, on which 'Konoha's Golden Flash' was written in kanji on the back. The hero kneed beside the fallen warriors; who reached for the hero.
"Lord Hokage, you arrived in-" he said before slumping to the ground
The Hokage held the man before yelling "DEMON; you will pay for the lives you have taken" he then lunged at the demon. Their hands lock in an attempt to over power each other. The beast began to push against the man moving back his feet sliding on the wooden stage. The hero continued to try and push the beast only to be forced down to his knee.
Suddenly the hero's face brightens as an idea struck him. He stopped opposing the demons forward pushing and pulled the demon causing the demon to flip over him. The hero rolled along with fox, which had landed upon its back he landed atop the beast's stomach. The hero drew his blade a tri-pronged kunai and thrust it into the beast's chest.
The hero stood from the dyeing beast that convulsed in a pool of blood. The hero began to walk away only to hear a weak snarl come from behind him. He turned only to have a pair of razor sharp claws rip through his neck. The beast fell to the ground and ceased moving the man slumped down to his knee as blood flowed from his wound and spoke "To give my life for my village's is a trade I would happily make" and then closed his eyes before the curtain fell.
Naruto whistled at the actors as the bowed to the crowds.
Across the commons a group of shinobi, varying in rank watched the performance but more importantly the young blonde boy who whooped and hollered at it. Each once face twisted in viscous sneers.
The first to voice his opinions wore a chunin vest and had short silver "I can't that demon dare show its face our festival"
"I know what mean Mizuki the nerve of that thing to come here. You know I think we should teach him a lesson" spoke another one, who was bald and wore a jounin vest, as he cracked his knuckles
The others in the group began to agree in the idea of beating the child. They soon started to move in the direction of the boy only for Mizuki step in front of them faulting the advance. "Guys instead of wasting our time beating the demon lets dump it so far out of the village it never finds its way back, huh" the others thought about it only to agree. It wouldn't be as fun as beating the creature but it would solve having to see it ever again.
"Alright you all go to the gate and I'll be there after I grab the fox" Mizuki said before the others jumped off to the west gate. After the others had left Mizuki stalked his prey who began to watch the next performance.
Naruto watched as the actors changed the costumes and began another play. He was about to call and whistle when he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck.
Mizuki watched as the boy fell to the ground, unconscious. He then pulled out a sack; he had grabbed from one of the stands and stuffed the small child into it. He stood, threw the sack over his shoulder and ran in the direction of the village gate.
Naruto's apartment…
Kakashi walked down the hall of Naruto apartment intent on taking his surrogate little brother to the festival. He reached the door and sneered at the graffiti that had been written on the door. Ignoring he touched handle to see that the door was unlocked and it slide open to reveal an empty apartment.
He rushed inside and began to search for a clue of what had happened to the boy. He checked both rooms and even inside the cabinets. Finally sure that the boy wasn't there he look for some sign of a struggle but everything was as it should have been. That left only one scenario 'Naruto had left his apartment alone'. Kakashi stood outside the entry way and crossed his finger and in a poof of smoke second Kakashi stood in the hall.
"Go tell Lord Hokage Naruto has gone out into the festival alone and that I have begun searching for him" the clone nodded before running out of the hall. Kakashi bit his thumb and ran through hand signs and pressing his hand to the ground. In another poof of smoke stood a small pug with headband and a small cape "Yo, Kakashi" he spoke raising a paw in greeting.
"No time for formalities Pakkun, I need you to track Naruto's scent he has gone missing" the dog's calm face turn a bit sterner before he put his nose to the ground sifting through
He many scent trails around him.
"I've got him" he said before they took off in the direction of the plaza.
With Mizuki…
Mizuki arrived at the gate to see his group of compatriots waiting and an empty guard station. He began to smirk at the results of his planning 'Now I can get rid of the Kyuubi brat and have a present for Lord Orochimaru' he continued past the group that cheered him on as he leapt off in the direction of his new boss and the reward he would receive for bringing him the power of the nine-tailed fox.
Hokage Tower…
Sarutobi stood up from his desk and with a happy sigh walked towards the door. He had been able set the council at ease as the events of the festival had begun without a hitch. He reached for the door only for it to swing open to reveal a panting Kakashi "Lord Hokage, Naruto went out to the festival alone". The elder's eyes widened as he rushed to his desk and pressed a hidden button from under the desk.
The sound of an intercom starting up sounded through the room. "What is needed of us; Hokage-sama?" the voice was in lack of emotion
"Tenzou; mobilize your squad Naruto has been gone missing. Find him before someone tries something stupid" he ordered
"Hai Hokage-sama" the intercom then buzzed off
"Kakashi-" he stopped as he saw man sized cloud of smoke dissipate 'Kage Bushin. Must be searching already' He then reached under his desk and retrieved his crystal ball.
With Mizuki…
Mizuki stopped running his body exhausted, years of teaching at academy without much physical training had left his body weak, been running for near an hour strait and had been using chakra to aid his speed. He slumped against a tree and allowed his eyes to close for only a second and then another till he was asleep.
Konoha Plaza…
Pakkun slowly moved through the streets sifting scent. Kakashi watched as his partner walked tracking his little brother's scent. They had been moving slowly and he was getting even more worried. "Kakashi we have a problem!"
He walked up to the small dog; that was standing in front of a wooden platform with performers that were deconstructing the set. "What's wrong?"
"Somebody took him"
"What?"
"his scent is lingering here meaning he was here for awhile, but then a second scent; a male came up to him and then his scent becomes really faint" the four-legged animal explained
"Wait what do you mean his scent is faint can't you still track it?"
"The capturer must have disguised Naruto's scent and no Naruto's scent is to faint for that"
Kakashi closed his eye trying to find a way to find his brother and his capturer "wait what about the guy who took him is his scent trackible"
The pug put his nose to the ground "yah; I got him"
Within Naruto's Mind…
Naruto awoke in a pitch black, wet, and creepy place. He sat up and could see a light coming from down the now visible corridor; he placed his hand down only for it to be submerged into cold water he then realized he was sitting in a flooded room. He stood and took a step towards the lighted section of corridor. 'Where am I' echoed through his mind and it seemed the corridor as well
With Mizuki…
Mizuki opened his eyes to see he was still in the forest and that the Kyuubi brat was still unconscious in the sack. Mizuki stood and replaced the bag over his left shoulder; with an audible groan from within the bag. Mizuki spared a glance back at the bag before returning to the job at hand; getting past the boarder.
He took a step in the direction of the boarder and stopped as he felt something's eyes were watching him; sending a cold chill ran down his spine. He looked around the forest that surrounded him in an attempt to find the chill's source only to find nothing. 'I must have just imagined it' he thought as he took back off away from Konoha.
As Mizuki left the clearing he failed to notice the pair of cold blue eyes that seemed to glow in the dark forest.
Within Naruto's Mind…
A pair of violent red eyes opened and a bellowing roar ripped through the corridors that held it captive.
Elsewhere within the maze Naruto continued to walk towards the light that moved away ever time he neared it. Naruto stopped walking as an echo hit sounding like an animal growling then he was hit a wave of sound hit him knocking him back and off his feet. 'What the hell was that' he thought as he walked down the passage that the sounds came from.
With Kakashi…
Kakashi and Pakkun had followed the scent of Naruto's abductor eventually arriving at the guard station. Kakashi closed his eyes in a moment of regret 'If I had just stayed here you wouldn't be in danger now. I sorry Naruto' he thought as he moved past the gate.
With Sarutobi…
The old Hokage scanned each and every street for a clue on what had happened to Naruto; so far nothing. He continued to nscan his village's streets till he came to a group of shinobi; all stinking drunk.
"Man, can't believe that Kyuubi brat is finally gone; when Mizuki gets back we have to throw him a party" one spoke his voices was high and he had a small slur from the sake that he had drunken. The others in the group gave a small cheer of approval.
"Cheers to Mizuki" spoke another one holding up a sake bottle
"Cheers" the others screamed. Sarutobi began to sneer as he watched shinobi; his shinobi celebrating the possible death of a 3-year old boy. He then radioed Tenzou to bring in his new suspects.
With Mizuki…
Mizuki continued running towards the boarder like the devil was at his heels. He still couldn't shake the feeling that something was watching his movements. He put those thoughts aside as he saw a break in the tree line.
He landed outside of the trees and took in the new landscape; he stood a top a cliff with a waterfall running down to the river below. On ether side of the waterfall stood two massive statues of the Shodaime Hokage; Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. He focused on the two men that had begun the epic village of Konoha before erupting in a fit of manic laughter. 'Two of the strongest warriors to ever be born; after I bring Orochimaru-sama the Kyuubi he will make me more powerful than the either of you' he thought as he continued laughing
He jumped atop the head of the Shodaime and then across the waterfall and then down off of the Uchiha's head. He was about to enter the forest of rice country when he saw the bushes and other shrubbery move. "Who's there?" he said as he drew a kunai while still hold the bag.
Out of the forest walked a man who looked to be roughly in his thirties he had short silver hair spiked backwards and his face held an aura of nobility; and his eyes were an artic blue. He wore a blue leather overcoat that ended at his ankles on the jacket was dragon shape that ran over the right side and ended with the head on the left. Underneath the coat he wore a dark purple leather vest and matching pants; he had white fingerless gloves and brown boots on. But the most noticeable thing about the man; to Mizuki were the two swords; O-katanas at his side.
The first was held in his hand it was in a black sheath which had a yellow ribbon hanging just under the tsuba (hand-guard). The tsuba was oval in shape and looked to be made of gold; the tsuka (handle) was wrapped in white leather except along the side were the leather wrapped back showing a black underneath; and on the but of the Tsuka was the image of a dragon forming a near infinity symbol.
The other O-katana was a little longer than the first; about 6in and was attached to the man's waist. It was similar to the first as its sheath was black except for a gold cap at the end and a gold ring at the opening of both. The second sword's tsuba was gold like the first except it hexagonal in shape; and the tsuka was covered in traditional gold wrappings along with black ornaments.
Mizuki stared at the man till his eyes connected with the mystery man's. After looking in the man's eyes he felt cold like he was in cold water. After breaking eye contact he recovered a bit of courage; or stupidity and asked again. "Who are you?" he asked; but more demanded.
The man just stood there watching him till his eyes fell upon the bag over his shoulder; and he reached for the sword in his other hand. Mizuki seeing this yelled "Hey; what do you think you're doi…" He was cut off as an unimaginable amount of pain erupted from his left arm. He yelled out in pain as he looked down at it only to see nothing except a bloody numb. On the ground he saw the other segment of his arm; twitching as the nerves died away and no Naruto.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw the stranger reappear in his hand the sack. "YOU BASTARD; MY ARM" he screamed at the man
"Leave now or I will have to dirty my sword with your blood once again" spoke the man, for the first time since their meeting had begun; his voice was calm and cold.
"Why you bastard!!" Mizuki screamed as he lunged at the man. The man turned to him and drew his sword and before Mizuki could even blink he began sheathing it again. He slid the blade in slowly till the blade was barely an inch from being closed; he then clicked the blade back within its sheath.
The man watched as sundry pieces of the human annoyance, Mizuki, fell to the ground. He then turned to the sack that he had taken.
Within Naruto's Mind…
Naruto had been searching for the origin of the roar that had struck him but for some reason each time he turned a corner he would enter the passage he had just left; he looked back and low and behold no corner only the open passage. 'What the hell is with this place all I want to do is find out where the noise came from'? Before Naruto could tell what had happened he stood in front of a new passage larger than the one before and was framed by a spiral pattern.
'What the hell' he thought as he walked through the new passage. Inside was a room that stretched higher than Naruto could see. Across from him was a massive gate that stood over 100ft tall and about 50ft wide. As he looked into the black abyss that lay behind those gates he could feel him self begin to sweat. The place behind those gates held an aura of tremendous danger. "Come closer little one" a feminine voice came from within the darkness; the voice was soft and calming like tone when a mother reads a lullaby to their child; the voice also made it feel like he had a fire inside his stomach.
As Naruto approached the massive gate a beautiful woman came into view. She had an angelic face that was framed by her fiery red hair streaked with orange; it ran down to her mid-back. She stood just a few inches over 5ft and had and hourglass figure that was shown off by her curve holding kimono; which was decorated by a red, orange, and black floral pattern. But the most catching thing about the woman was her crimson eyes 'Beautiful' Naruto though as a blush spread across his cheeks. A giggle broke him of his thoughts about the woman in front of him.
"I am glad you like how I look, Naruto-kun" she said her giggle growing more intense as Naruto's face went red
"How do you my name?" she stopped giggling momentarily
"I have known your name since the day you were born" she said as she walked closer to the gates. "Naruto, I'm going to tell you a little story so please have a seat" a sly foxy grin spread across her face
Naruto just stood there staring at her with a look that said 'Are you crazy?' he then looked down at the flooded floor below "In the water?" her grin only grew
"No, a 'seat' as in a chair; Naruto-kun" she said in the tone an adult would take when a child asked a stupid question
"What chair" Naruto asked his confusion only growing from the conversation
"The chair you are going to sit in of course" she said as she began to silently giggle at the boy's frustration
"But there is no chair" he yelled; his frustration boiling over as any 3-year old would
"Really, are you sure" She said giving a fake pout in disappointment; before snapping her fingers "I know I will describe a chair and you try and picture it in your mind Naruto-kun. Now first close your eyes"
"But-" he was cut off by a pair of puppy eyes
"Please" her said sounding like a child; as held her hands in the classic begging position and her bottom lip quivered
"Alright please just stop that" he said as he closed his eyes and failed to see the woman give a victory sign
"Now lets see how the chair should look" she said her voice back to a childish one "Alright the chair is big enough for two and is bright orange in color and has two arm rests and on top of it is…a big cushy blanket that two could just cuddle up together. So Naruto-kun can't you just imagine it" she smirked as said chair began to take form within the gate "Naruto-kun you can open your eyes now"
Naruto opened his eyes to see the chair he had imagined from the weird woman's description. The chair was taller than most men, a little over 7ft; it was about the same in width. The woman was laying in the chair the blanket that was the same red as her eyes wrapped around her; her face the only portion visible "Naruto-kun come sit with me"
Naruto walked towards the woman slowly; he faulted only as he reached the gate that had separated him and the woman. Inside he felt scared like if he walked passed this point something terrible would happen. He closed his eyes and walked through the bars, the woman's eyes narrowed and focused on the blonde as he walked through, as he stepped through a ripple of energy came of the blonde.
After he had made it through he opened his eyes to see…nothing had changed. The woman was still waiting in the chair; her eyes looking into his own. He continued walking toward her till he felt something brush against his leg; looking down he saw it was a clothe red, orange, and black 'Wait isn't that her' his face went red as he looked up at the woman as she sat in the chair a foxy grin plastered to her face.
"Naruto-kun hurry I'm getting lonely" she said as she began to pout again. He walked closer to her till he stood just in front of the chair. She slid her hand out from under the blanket and offered it towards him. He slowly reached and accepted her extended one; Before Naruto could tell he had move he was under the blankets and most of his clothes were gone other than his underpants.
He tried froze in place as he felt that her bare breast that were pressed against his back 'so soft' he thought as his face went red and his mind went blank
"Comfy Naruto-kun" she said as she wrapped her arms around him pulling him further into her breasts. Naruto nodded his mind not really drawing any coherent thoughts "good; now for the story. This story is how I came to know you Naruto-kun." Naruto looked back at her his eye showing a bit of anticipation. Seeing his eyes on her she cleared her throat "our story began a little over three years ago…"
-Flashback-
A man with short black hair walked down a dimly lit staircase. He was dressed completely in black samurai style armor.
He soon reached a large open chamber in which a beast slept. The beast was larger than most mountains and even in its sleep held the power to awaken the deep seeded fear buried within the hearts of all men. The beast appeared to be a fox of sorts except its overly long ears and its eight extra tails
The man walked closer to the beast and began to run through hand signs and taking a deep breath. "Goukakyuu on jutsu" he yelled as a massive ball of fire erupted from the man's mouth and hit the beast directly in the head. The flames died out as a growl echoed through the room. The fox raised its head and gave a visible sneer at the man. "It's you what the hell do you want" the beast roared causing dust to fly up and push against the man who held firm
"I'm here to call that favor you owe me; Kyuubi-chan" he said with a smirk as the beast roared louder
"and what kind of 'favor' do you want?" the beast said as it stood and stretched its arms and legs; its sneer leaving its face
"all I ask is for you to attack and destroy Konoha" he said his face smirking all the while
Konoha…
Kyuubi stood only a few hundred feet from the village that bastard had asked her to destroy. 'Just one puny little village and my debt is paid' she thought in glee as she moved towards the village
The villagers tried to defend them selves only their attacks were useless against the fox demon. She continued her assault till a toad appeared across from her she turned to it and snarled "You will not rob me of my freedom" she growled though no one could understand her in her current form. She readied herself to destroy the toad when a blinding light flashed from above the toad before she could retaliate she was in a cold dark sewer behind iron bars that refused to give no matter how much she pushed
-Flashback-End-
"- and Naruto is how I came to be here with you" she said as she put her head in the nook of his neck.
Naruto sat there in silent contemplation as he connected the dots of the story. 'That man called her Kyuubi; that means that she is the monster that attacked Konoha' he turned his head to see her still burring her face deeper into his neck 'but she seems so nice and warm' he then felt her purr into his neck causing him to moan
"So Naruto-kun you know who I am now right" she said, her voice was meek and some what nervous, her face still buried in his neck
"You are the Kyuubi the beast that attacked Konoha" she nodded; but remained silent
"Do you hate me?" She said her face still hidden in his back
He remained silent for a few moments before speaking "No" her head shot up in genuine surprise
"But why not it's my fault that you have been abused and that you are alone" she almost cried; her voice began to crack
"I remember ounce after I had been attacked by the villagers and I was in the hospital. I was so mad at the villagers; I just wanted to hate them so much; that was till I spoke to Oji-san and he told something. 'Hatred is a vile thing that only brings pain and suffering to all involved and the only way to break its cycle is to let go of hatred no matter how much someone hurts you" he felt her relax in her embrace
"uhm; Kyuubi-san can I ask you a question? So said that there was an intense flash of light and then you were here but where is here?"
He watched as she raised her head and made eye contact with his own "Naruto-kun you may ask any question at anytime. But as to where we are we are now deep within your mind."
"Ok and you said that the Yondaime put you here" he asked receiving a nod from the fox
"In order to halt my rampage in your village he was force to seal me way in the only object that could handle my corrosive chakra, a newborn infant, you" she said holding him close
Naruto began to frown at the collection of thoughts "So you're here with me only by chance."
"Yes, pretty much"
"That…that's just so screwed up. To destroy my chances at a normal life is one thing; but to use me to hurt someone else is totally inexcusable" he seethed much to the fox's surprise
"Naruto you sound like you hate him" she said her voice holding a slight huskiness to it 'I wonder has coming so close to me actual begun to affect his personality'
"Well I can't say it is hate but what he did is unforgivable. To make me your prison just because he couldn't find another way is pathetic" Naruto said his voice seething and his brow furred. Only to relax as Kyuubi began to squeeze his small frame closer to her own.
She began to smile impishly "Naruto-kun…" she said as she gentle blew her breath so to hit the back of his ear "do you really feel that upset for little old me" he had lost his thoughts, from the breath treatment, and now only follow along to her words nodding slowly "would you like to make it up to me" he nodded again "really? Are you sure? You can't turn back if you agree to this" she emphasized
"I promise Kyuubi-chan" he said with a smile
She smiled in return "Alright but first I'm going to tell you a secret-"
"But-" he tried to interject only to be silence by a pair of smooth fingers on his lips
"No interrupting" she scolded "the reason I'm telling you this secret is it will be important in your future" he listened closely to her words "First do you know the difference between demons, devils, a demon lords, and a devil-kings are?" his answer was an expected 'no'
"Well the first group is demons. Most are weak in most aspects and can only fight through their fist or maybe a weapon, like a club or a scythe, but their skills is minimal. They can be branched into two branches 1) big bulky idiots and 2) smaller more intelligent idiots. The bigger ones are usual set on nothing but satisfying their desires this is usually food, money, or really anything they find interesting…oh and women" she ignored Naruto's gasp "they are also very easy to manipulate. Now the little ones are a little trickier they like to make plans and are always paranoid that someone is after them; and usually weaker physically. They also usually like to use the stupider demons to get things they want"
"Next are Devils they are the middle ground. They hold the widest range of strength some being weaker than a demon and some growing stronger than even the hokage." To which she heard Naruto gasp of surprise and awe "The most distinguishing factors are that while as strong as the larger demons they have a sleeker frame and are more intelligent than the brainier demons. Aside from that another difference is form; they came be in one of two forms, first is a human form in which they look completely like any normal person, other than inhuman strength and vitality, or their devil trigger as it is called in which the inner power of their demon blood is unleashed in a temporary but extreme boost in power."
"Next are the Demon lords are really big, really strong, and really smart demons. To put it simple the are the best of the best; and I should know; I'm the best one out of all them" she said pointing her thumb back at herself while meeting Naruto's awestricken eyes "other than being unimaginably strong most demon lords are extremely arrogant; totally unlike myself scenes I'm the best I'd never such a fool" she said her chin raised high
"But didn't you underestimate the Yondaime and that's why you are…" he added only stopping at the glare that was focused at him
"Why NO that's not why I'm here he used that underhanded technique of his to halt me; not win" she said the scowl on her brow lifting only slightly "well technically I won, I alive and he is dead, and so I win" she said in a semi-crazed voice chuckling madly
"But back to the lesson the last group is the devil kings they are in all senses of the meaning gods." Naruto eye practically exploded open "but they aren't what you would call popular so far this group has never even broken into the double digits. They are all have had human based shapes and not far off in size ether. But they held more power than even I did" she said looking down at the boy who was now looking at her
"What do you mean 'did' aren't you as strong as you used to be" he asked only to see a sorrowed face
"No during the sealing my power was split between two vessels; you and some other one. But right now that doesn't matter. Naruto do you want to know why I just told you about the different levels of demons" He nods "Well you see the BIG secret is you are descended from one of those groups; well not just you but all humans to some degree have devil's blood running through their veins" she said, a big smile across her lips as she saw the shock on his face
Naruto looked down at his palms 'I have devil's blood in me; but she said everyone has so why is it a secret' "Kyuubi-chan, if everyone has devil's blood why is it a secret?"
She smiled at the question "well Naruto-kun once having devil's blood was an honor but soon humans began to resent those who held it and as time went on devil's blood began to show up in all of man kind. The honor of holding it gone and only the resentment of it remained. So as time went on people just let the thought of it be forgotten" she sighed before looking back at Naruto who's head was still held between her breast "Naruto; back to what I want from you as a 'sorry' for having been my cage for the last 3 years. You are still going to keep promise right?"
"Of course I always keep my promises" he said much to her enjoyment "so what do you want?"
"Freedom"
"Freedom?"
"Yes; I'm tried of going to sleep in a sewer and waking in the same dirty water. I want to feel the sun on my face and enjoy life again" her voice going lower with each word her eyes becoming unfocused
"How?"
She blinked as she refocused on Naruto "What?"
"How do I give you your freedom?" he asked
Much to his surprise she began to giggle, which should turned into full blown laughter "Oh, Naruto-kun; as nice as the thought is you can't free me; at least not as you are now"
"Then what do I have to do" his voice desperate; refusing to fail the woman he had made a promise to.
"Well the only way you could every be strong enough to release me is to first awaken your sleeping demonic roots and then grow to the level of at least a demon lord" she said thoughtfully stroking Naruto 'whiskers' causing his ever consent blush to darken
"H-how do I w-wake it" he asked his thoughts blurred by her actions
"Well lucky for you I know just what to do but it comes at a price. You must promise to never to become a shinobi and bow your head to a human" he eye shot open wide from the price; but a promise was a promise
"I promise"
"I know it hurts to give up your dream but later on you will be happy that you did" she said as she stroked his hair gentle "Now Naruto I'm going to start the process it will be quick but it will hurt worse than anything you have ever felt; and remember I will won't let you go" she cooed gentle as he nodded in acknowledgement
She closed her eyes as a mass of red, bubbling chakra leaked from her body and clawed its way towards Naruto's small frame. As it touched his skin she could feel him wanting to pull away in pain. She smile seeing his will hold his body still even as his skin began to peel away; from the heat of the mass.
For Naruto what ever it was that had just touch him it BURNED, it burn worst than when his 'friend' a chunin 'accidentally' hit him with katon jutsu, and what ever it was it was spreading. He wanted to move away but knew that would mean breaking his promise to Kyuubi-chan; and he would rather die than let that happen. The chakra continued its journey over Naruto's body ever slowly, ever painfully.
Kyuubi continued to hold her vessel as he held in tears and the screams that she knew were building under his dissolving skin. The mass neared Naruto's neck and a ear spilting scream erupted from his lungs as the burning pain had final become too much. The mass soon covered his mouth and the scream of pain and sorrow mutated into a roar of power and anger. The chakra continued to pour from the youko body for what seemed like a millennium; till the foul chakra's flow began ebb
Naruto's body hung limply in Kyuubi's arms; she gentle held his lifeless frame. She looked in his blank eyes that were once the brightest blue were now dark and dull as if the life had been ripped from the. Kyuubi's eyes closed and held firmly to his limp frame 'Almost there Naruto just a little more and you be a half-devil'
Naruto continued to lay limply his mind gone to the pain, as was his voice, his light, and even the tears that had once flowed freely from his eyes.
Thump
Thump…thump
Thump…thump..thump
Thump..
Naruto body and back arched forward only to be held by Kyuubi's strong arms. His heartbeat was audible through his chest as it tried to send its new bloody fuel to ever corner of the boy's body. The once burnt skin grew back at an instantaneous speed and seemed to hold a noble glow.
Naruto's chakra exploded out and began the burn around him like a raging flame. A second chakra then came from the small boy, the bloody-red one that Kyuubi had buried within him, the red spiral around him before wrapping around him and his blue chakra. The two began to push against each other neither willing to lose their dominance of the boy's network. The flame continued their dance of wills till a single string of red seeped into the blue and dissolved leaving a dark purple color, soon more red seeped in and more purple formed, till the mass of flame were one; a dark purple that crackle as bolts of lightning formed and leaped from the downed boy, gust of wind shot from his body, and fire set to the water underneath the pair. The boy's powers continued to bellow forth till Naruto fell again; limply into Kyuubi's arms; and there he stayed for the rest of the night.
"Congratulations; Naruto-kun you're a demon now" she said, her own eyes heavy and tired; as she closed them sleep claim her quickly and she slept soundly cuddling the boy into her breast.
Outside Naruto's mind...
The man had watched as a powerful demonic aura came from the sack that he opened to find a small blonde boy. He watched as blue flames of chakra battle the red demonic ones before they mutated into a majestic purple. He watched in slight disbelief as not only did two elements, as normal one from each parent, form near the boy but a third. Then an idea struck the man 'The boy has potential that much is certain and he could be a powerful weapon after his demonic blood strengthens. Even the wasted time training it would be worth it in the end'
He walked to the sleeping boy, lifted him over his shoulder and disappearing into the dark forest
With Kakashi…
Kakashi and Pakkun reached the valley quickly but much to their horror not quickly enough. Naruto was no where to be seen and the man that was last to see him was in pieces on the side of the cliff. Kakashi turned to his canine partner "Pakkun can you find his scent?"
The small pug only sniffed the bloody pools of the former chunin only to shake its head. "No; Naruto's scent has been tampered with I can't follow it not with all these outside influences"
Kakashi fell to his knees "but we have to find him. I…I can't fail sensei"
"I'm sorry but we can't do anything for him here. Lets head back and inform the Hokage" Kakashi nodded numbly before he and dog leap in the opposite Naruto's abductor had gone
Hokage Tower…
Hours had past before Kakashi arrived back at the gate of the village. Pakkun had been dismissed during the trip back. He stood in front of the of the Sandaime's office he had been standing there for the last five minutes his hands refused to touched the handle. Deep in his mind he knew telling the hokage he had lost Naruto would be accepting his failure to his sensei.
Inside his office the Sandaime read the results of Ibiki's interrogation. Much to his displeasure the entire ordeal was apparently Mizuki's idea and he was now no longer among the living.
He knew that Kakashi was outside his door and knew what it meant if he refused to enter
Naruto was gone
He closed his eyes as he looked out of his window part of him wanted forsake the village and another part simple wished he had retired years ago. 'To think they are given a child with the blood of the most powerful Kage to come out of this village along with the power of the strongest bijuu and they throw it away just because their eyes are clouded by their fear and their misguided hate.' He closed his eyes as he readied himself for the 'parties' that were unavoidable to begin as word of Naruto's disappearance became common knowledge.
