So please read, review, and Enjoy.
NOW ON WITH THE STORY
Konoha, one of the legendary five great nations. The pinocle of all the nations and the most peaceful. The streets were filled with people partying and having a great time. Today is the day that the people celebrated the defeat of the Kyuubi. The Kyuubi was a nine-tailed fox demon that attacked the village six years ago. The demon killed thousands of villagers and ninjas alike. Only the Forth Hokage, at the cost of his own life was he able to seal the demon into a baby boy. After that night there was peace once again. Today is the anniversary of that tragic day.
Everybody in the village is participating in the events on this night. People all around the village were having a great time, all except for one. Naruto Uzumaki, a six year old boy, was running for his life from an angry mob.
It all started when Naruto went into one of the stands. The stand sold fake anbu masks. Seeing one that looked like a fox, Naruto decides he might as well buy it. Naruto walks up to the counter and asks if he could buy the mask. When the owner of the shop recognizes who Naruto is, he throws him out of his shop.
When the shop owner threw Naruto out of the building, he impacted some guys that were in the street. You could tell that they have been drinking from the way they were standing, or the beer bottles that was in there hands.
The man looked to see who had just bumped into him. When he saw that it was the demon brat he got all angry. Naruto being smart runs away. While the man chases after him. The other nine people in the group also decides to join in, and chase the demon brat.
They chased Naruto all over the village, until he made a wrong turn and ended up in a ally that was a dead end. Naruto crying as he realized that he would not be able to escape, looked at his attackers and asked "Why. Why are you trying to hurt me".
One person came out of the mob and walked up to Naruto and said, "Because a demon like you should not be allowed to live". He then pulls out his kunai and thrusts it at Naruto. Naruto not having enough time to move could not dodge it in time. The blade pierces his chest and into his heart. The last thing he sees before the blackness closed in, was people cheering that the demon brat was now dead.
Naruto was expecting to see Kami when he opened his eyes, but instead, he ended up in some strange sewage tunnel. Figuring that he was not going anywhere by sitting down. Naruto then decides to get up he start walking the tunnel to find an exit. After walking, for what seemed forever to him, he came into a very large room. In the middle of the room stood a row of pillars that looked like a cage. In the middle of it was a piece of paper that had 'seal' written on it.
Curiosity getting the better of him, he decides to walk over to the cell. Once he was getting close huge razor sharp claws sprang out from the cell scaring him to death. Naruto then hears a deep raspy voice coming from behind the cage.
"You know kit, you did not have to wait until you almost died to come see me . Said the mysterious voice.
Naruto, having no idea who was talking behind the cage asks. "So who are you supposed to be?"
"Me? I am the Kyuubi. You should be able to tell, the nine tails does kinda give it away." The Kyuubi then steps into the light. There, in all of his glory, was the Nine Tailed Fox. The Kyuubi has a red fur coat. The upper half of the Kyuubi's body was like a humans, except for the claws at the end of his fingertips, and his head, which was still a fox's. The lower part of his body was that of a fox. He also had nine tails swinging freely behind him.
Naruto, finally understanding the situation he is in, starts to panic. Right here in front of him is the mighty Kyuubi.
The Kyuubi starts to notice that Naruto was starting to panic, so he tries to calm him down.
Kit, do not be afraid of me. I am not going to eat you or anything like that. So try to calm down. Otherwise people will always see you as a looser."
The Kyuubi notices the effect of what he just said hit Naruto.
Naruto for a few seconds did nothing. He all of a sudden walks right up and into the cage. The Kyuubi looked down at Naruto with amazement and just a little bit of respect for his host. He was amazed because, he did not think Naruto had the courage to this. While the respect came from the fact that his host was not someone who runs away from a fight. He of course did not show it. The Kyuubi just kept a neutral look on his face.
Naruto looks straight at the Kyuubi with anger written all over his face, "Now hold on, you giant piece of fuzz. Just because you have a gaint stick up you but, and cant move freely does not mean I am going to stand here and listen to you call me a looser! Every I know has called me a looser! And you know what? I am going to prove to every single one of you that your wrong!"
Kyuubi's respect for this kid just went up ten fold. No one he has ever met has had enough ball to tell him off. But here is this six year old kid saying it.
Naruto kept ranting, " Also, just because you killed all those people six years ago does not give. . . " The Kyuubi interrupted him.
"There is something I have to tell you kit."
Still mad Naruto asks, "What"?
The Kyuubi had a somewhat sad look on his face. "I did kill all those people six years ago, but I did not do it of my own free will."
Not believing him, Naruto asks, "Oh really. Then why did you do it?"
The Kyuubi looked at Naruto and said, "Because I was being controlled."
Naruto was shocked beyond belief. How is that even possible, the all powerful Kyuubi being controlled. Nartuo just thought that the Kyuubi was just lying to him. Since his made his mind up that he was being lied to, he looked straight into the Kyuubi's eyes and said, "Bull crap, that is the worst lie I have ever heard. What kind of person who is in their right mind would even consider to believe such a thing. Expecially if it is coming from you."
Sighing in defeat, the Kyuubi decided to use a defferent method. He brought one of his tails outside of the cage and placed it on Naruto's for head. " I guess I am going to have to show you. Hold still, other wise it could be very painful."
There was a blinding light and then Naruto saw a repeat of that night.
(Flashback)
Thousands of ninja were attacking the demon fox with all they have, but it was not even effecting it in anyway. The demon fox kept walking towards the village like nothing was in its way.
"Hold the attack and wait for the Forth Hokage!" A ninja yelled.
"We can not let it get any closer to the village! We have to protect all the villagers! So we will keep fighting even if we all die!" The group leader said.
All of a sudden a toad about half the size of the Kyuubi appeared, and on its head was a man and a small child.
Every ninja on the battlefield looked up at the toad and saw that the Forth Hokage was on top of its head. All ninjas started to cheer as the most feared ninja in the Five Great Nations faced the Kyuubi.
However on top of the toads head the Minato Namikaze was in no mood for cheering. Just before the attack began his wife Kushina Uzumaki gave birth to there new son, Naruto Uzumaki. What turned out to be a happy moment turned into a sad one. Kushina died giving birth to Naruto. But before she died, she got to hold him for the first and last time.
The other thing about Kushina was that before Naurto she was the one that kept the Kyuubi sealed inside of herself so could not cause any damage. However when she died the seal broke and the Kyuubi was released.
Now Minato stood on top of the toads head with Naruto in his arms. Right now he could not greave for his wife because he had a job to save the village. But he knew that there was no way to kill a demon. So there was only one thing that he could do.
He looked down at Naruto with tears in his eyes and said, " I am so sorry Naruto for what i am about to do. I could not ask another parent to do this if I am not able to do this myself. I hope one day when you learn the truth you will for give me for this. Because with you being just a baby not even a day old yet, your mind will be taken over by the Kyuubi. But do not worry the seal I am using will keep your mind in control. I hope the village sees you as the hero who keeps the demon at bay, but knowing how stubborn the villagers can be they probably wont. I just want you to know Naruto, that your mother and I love you with all our hearts.
Minato leaped to the ground. He notices the Kyuubi looking straight at him. As quickly as his hands will move, he goes though very complex hand signs. When he finished he placed his hands on Naruto's stomach and yelled, "SEAL."
There was a blinding light. Everyone in a 3 mile radius had to shield there eyes it was so bright. When the light dimmed the demon fox was nowhere to be seen. However if you was to look closely in the middle of a field, you could see the body of the Forth Hokage laying beside a crying Naruto.
(Flashback ends)
Naruto could not believe what he just seen. On one hand he was happy that he got to see who his parents were and that he knew that they loved him and did not leave him. People always told him that his parents left him when he was born because he was a demon. But now he know that they loved him with all there heart. He also could not believe that the person he looked up to, his hero, was also his father. Even after finding out all of this there was one thing that kept him down.
" So i guess its true I am demon. I am happy to know who my parents were and that they loved me but-"
Kyuubi then interrupted " You are NOT a demon. If you want to see a demon then look at me. You on the other hand are just a human who had no control of what was going on. People only fear what they do not understand."
But Naruto did not believe him. " But I am a demon. You saw and heard what my dad said. He said that you would take control of my mind."
"He said that yes, however I have not done so."
Confusing Naruto he asked, "What do you mean 'you have not done so'. Everyone says that you are the meanest demon there is?"
Letting out a sigh the Kyuubi said, "Just because you humans say someting does not mean that it is true. Yes i do have a temper when aggravated, but other than that I am not all that mean."
"But you killed all those people." Said Naruto.
Letting out another sigh the Kyuubi explained. " What nobody knew at the time was that, after I was freed from your mother someone was waiting for me. Do not get me wrong I hate the man with a passion. When I was freed he took control of me and made me attack your village."
Being curious Naruto asked, " Who was the one that was controlling you? "
With a growl the Kyuubi said, " Madara Uchiha. That wretched fool was the one who controlled me. The one thing in this whole entire world, is that I hate being controlled."
" I guess I will believe you after what and all you have showed me. But since you seem to be a nice guy I was wondering, if we could be friends." Said Naruto.
The Kyuubi was surprised, why would Naruto want to be his friend. Because of him, Naruto had a hard life. So the only thing he could say was " Why?'
Naruto with a smile says, " because i believe some people should get a second chance."
This shocked the Kyuubi and for the first time in a long time he smiled a true smile.
"Sure kit. Maybe having a friend wont be so bad." Said Kyuubi.
Naruto face lit up like a Christmas tree, he just made his first friend.
After a moment the Kyuubi looked down at Naruto and said, " Kit since you have been in here, I have been healing your body so that when you leave you will be fine. Also to leave your mindscape all you have to do is just think yourself out, its that simple."
"Well I guess I will get out of here and back home so I can get a good nights sleep. Its been a long and crazy day." Said Naruto laughing a little bit.
"Alright kit, I will see you later." Said the Kyuubi.
"Oh yea before i go, I forgot to ask you. Whats your name?" Asked Naruto.
Once again the Kyuubi was shocked. Every person that he was sealed inside of have never asked what his name was.
He looked at Naruto and said, " My name is Kurama. Now get out of here so I can get some sleep.
Laughing Naruto exited his mind to find himself in the exact spot he got stabbed. However there was no wound. Smiling to himself Naruto got off the ground and decided to head to his apartment to get some needed sleep.
