Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Warning: AU. Spoilers.
For a being that, until recent years, was viewed as an entity of pure evil, the Kyuubi was surprisingly loyal.
Then again, maybe it's not so surprising. If by chance the Kyuubi did make a friend, well he'd logically value them and their opinion above all else.
That's probably what brought Kohona to this crossroads.
"Uzumaki Naruto is not going to be used as cannon fodder!" He roared, sticking his massive head through the council chambers walls. His nine tails lashed agitatedly,tearing great swaths in the surrounding landscape. The nearby buildings had holes in them. The road would need to be repaved. Again.
"Who would you have us send then, Oh Reviled One? " One of the civilian councilmen, a red-faced,overweight man who had never worked a day in his life sneered.
"You are not using anyone as cannon fodder. If you truly must get a criminal sentenced to hang at dusk and use a loyalty seal on them. If they survive, great, you can use them again. If they die it is no great loss. They were intended to die anyway. This way they at least contribute something for once in their miserable lives. You will not be throwing away the life of Uzumaki Naruto and the lives of other loyal shinobi. "
"Oh,really? How are you going to stop us?" It was the same man as before.
"Like this," Exclaims the great fox as he inhaled and began gathering chakra "Bijou dam-"
"Kurama? Come on buddy! I got a mission for us from Jiji. Let's go! " A voice that, to the Kyuubi, echoed like chimes on the wind interrupted him. He let the power fade, ignoring the smell of urine and human feces coming from the room.
Just before he was out of reach of the building one of his tails lashed out, reducing the entire building to rubble.
Naruto remained oblivious as always.
