Jiraiya! Naruto squeaked at the corpse of his sensei. The sound of his own voice squeaked back at him as it echoed off each of the putrid white walls of the strange and massive room he found himself in. He could feel his heart punching through his sternum. Naruto was afraid more afraid than he had ever been in his life. Unable to move Naruto called out again Jiraiya, his sensei lied limp, his body hung open as if it had been gutted and then the blood began to spill. Not only the corpse but the walls themselves began to purge the fluid of life. Naruto felt the crimson ink flood up to his ankles. At that moment the pain in his chest became a jackhammer pounding through his sternum. As the pain increased Naruto could hear a low, undistinguishable growl that seem too becoming from inside him. "The Kyubi" Naruto cried as the blood began bubbling up until it formed the detestable face of the nine-tailed fox. The eyes of the demon were crimson, even deeper than the blood surrounding them. Those scornful eyes screamed obscenities and cast the weight of its hate and blood lust upon the petrified Naruto. The beast's twisted mouth threatened homicide as words laced with contemptuous venom spewed from it. As Naruto gazed at his blood stained hands his body began to betray him. He could feel his muscles locking up, trembling, his eyes widened with the realization that he had done this to his Sensei.
Naruto screamed himself awake drenched in his own cold sweat. He peered over at Jiraiya whom was lying still and limp as in his dream. "Perv Hermit, Perv Hermit" Naruto called out exasperated as he shook the older man. "Oooh ladies there's no reason to fight there is enough of me to go around" the sannin murmured in his sleep. "Now get over here and give old' Jiraiya a kiss" before Naruto could evade he was caught in a bear hug. Now so close together, that the two were touching noses, Naruto could feel Jiraiya making his move as his left hand began to make its way towards Naruto's right butt cheek. "Oooh very nice" Jiraiya crooned "hey what the hell is this" He bellowed as his hand began to caress his pupils butt. Jiraiya pressed his lips against Naruto's, the blonde was again frozen in terror. The ninjas gave each other identical looks of terror. Jiraiya spoke first.
"Naruto, what the hell is wrong with you?""Wrong with me, you're the one who grabbed me in the first place you creepy old geezer."
"Well what were you doing so close to me."
" Don't take that tone, I was seeing if you were still alive, you ungrateful old bastard."
"Well I hope you're not waiting for an apology, kid" Jiraiya retorted irritably.
By morning the two shinobi had already put the incident behind them, as they left the small village, because, it wasn't like it was the first time something like that had happened. In the almost three years Naruto had been under Jiraiya's apprenticeship they had been in situation so awkward that their near kiss was a mere trifle. "Pervy Sage, where the hell are we headed today?". "Back home, you were due back a few months ago, were running a little late".
Upon hearing his sensei Naruto remembered his dream. If the Kyubi could use him to murder Jiraiya, just think what he could do to his friends. A hopeless type of fear crept over every inch of Naruto. His mind toiled over the possibilities of the Nine Tail's carnage; he imagined Sakura's body and those of his other friends gutted and mangled like Dream Jiraiya's body was. Lost in thought he looked into the pond that they were crossing over. Just then he saw the still waters, ripple with liveliness, even though there was no breeze to birth it. "They've been following us since we left the inn; its hard to tell there numbers" Jiraiya muttered low and calm, his tone rumbled as if to say "about time you novice". From the ripples sprang an uncountable amount of Rain ninja with their kunai poised for battle. The Rain shinobi were first to attack one of the horde delivered a swift kick to Naruto's head only to find that it was a shadow clone. Before the hasty ninja could recover his balance the clone detonated releasing an explosion. "My kamikaze shadow clone jutsu is a success" Naruto cheered relishing the thrill of battle as more Rain shinobi entered the battle; some were clones, although most were not. The Leaf Village shinobi's foes were not quite as strong as they were numerous. As Naruto was finishing off his thirteenth enemy, Jiraiya was on 25 and counting, he could feel his "orange" chakra leaking through his pours. In his mind's eye Naruto could see the bars meant to be the Kyubi's jail and final resting place. They were different this time the bars seemed threadbare as if the beast they concealed had chewed through them, and was now forcing his way out. He heard a familiar roar, then he could feel his body moving of it's own accord. Naruto became a puppet to the Kyubi's will.
Naruto's hands grabbed the head of one of the recently defeated Rain ninja, Naruto felt himself become overpowered as he squeezed down onto to the Rain ninja's head. Naruto cringed because he knew what was going to happen next the great fox had been whispering its plans to him. Finally Naruto heard a bone-chilling crunch as the shinobi's head broke like an egg. Naruto was momentarily paralyzed by fear as the shinobi's yolk drenched his hands. His paralysis was momentary, because his fear was interrupting by the sliding of a kunai into his back. He could feel his muscles tear with the insertion of the blade, but fear kept him from retaliating, not fear of this opponent, but fear of his next action. Fear commanded Naruto Uzamaki to do one thing, and that thing was to flee, run as far from this place as he possibly could. That is what the blonde ninja did, he ran from the battle, and down the riverbank, but was unable to outrun the savage laughter of the Kyubi. Naruto ran to where the river ended and its giant fall began. Desperate to rid himself of the laughter Naruto threw himself over the edge.
