Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

AN: This is my first attempt at a story. Also, I'm a francophone so please don't freak out if my grammar is going downhill. Thank you.

A young blond boy no older than twelve jolted awake covered in sweat. His heart was beating so hard that its beat could be heard in a busy market. "It is just a dream... It's just a dream..." he recited to himself like a mantra. A snake is not going to kill Hokage Jiji right? Sasuke won't Leave Konoha for revenge, will he? What about the Kyubi been sealed in him? The Yodaime killed it right? "This is just another nightmare" the boy told himself as he laid back on his sweat soaked bed trying to get back to sleep.

He tried but when he closed his eyes, he found himself in a sewer and panic griped his heart as he thought he was going to continue his nightmare. He chose one of the tunnels and followed it as if he was being guided by an invisible hand, trying to find a way out. Soon enough, he found himself before a huge cage which seems to extend as high as the endless sewer and held together in the middle by a paper with the kanji for seal written on it.

He pushed aside a sense of familiarity and took a tentative step towards the cage despite his gut telling him to run away. Two pairs of huge silted blood red eyes opened and the boy couldn't help but backpedal then fall on his ass, not concerned at all about the ankle-deep water in which he fell.

Not that he was feeling wet anyway. Will be concerned about that when a mountain tall orange fur fox with human like appendix and torso made itself visible to him via the small light that is available in the sewer? "Kit " the fox said as he looked at the boy who managed to get back to his feet. "it wasn't just a dream... Everything is true I am real. Zetsu is real so is Kaguya " the fox said but his booming voice didn't sound convincing at all... But it did change the boy's mood as he stared at the huge fox in the eyes. "So, you are the Kyubi " the boy concluded as the Fox's eyes widened slightly, "You don't remember anything do you? " he asked as the boy shook his head.

The fox sighed and laid his huge head on his fore paws. "Naruto the dream you had is real. All those things will happen if you don't train and become stronger than before to prevent them. After you graduate from the academy, I will train your monkey ass into that of an ape. You must be strong. You have to be strong. Even though you may not remember everything that happened, I do and I will guide you " the now named Naruto look at the fox in confusion.

The boy is considered as one of the dumbest person to ever lived but even him was conflicted by the immense fox, no the Kyubi's words. He has expected the fox to be anything but kind. Wait did he said that he wants to train him? The offer is very tempting and all he has craved for is this kind of attention. His gut is telling him to jump and agree to the Kyubi's offer but a little bit of his brain that is rational said that the fox might be trying to take advantage of him. So, his most intelligent answer to the fox came like this "What are you taking about? "

The fox gritted his teeth. He doesn't have time for an annoying brat right now. He could feel the boy's conflicted feelings but that doesn't mean that he has to put up with the brat's annoying attitude. It is as clear as a day that the boy wanted to avoid him and he knew it. He needs to put his thoughts in order so as to plan things well.

He doesn't have to reveal everything to Naruto yet. The dumb boy is going to forget it and come back to him for him to remind him again. All he needs is to gain Naruto's trust. He chuckled softly at that irony of the situation causing Naruto to look at him in confusion. He has to prepare and for that he doesn't need the annoying brat around. This is not the Naruto he respected and will protected with his life. This brat has yet to earn his respect that is why "leave " he said as the boy disappeared from the sewer.

The great Kyubi no Yoko himself was confused about the memories that struck his mind and overrode his memories making him feel like a time traveller. He is going to make sure that Kaguya remains sealed for eternity.

Naruto 's memories wasn't override by the new memories but he had it in a form of a nightmare. The fox sighed again. What at all caused this? Whatever went wrong Kurama is determined to correct it even if that means he has to train the most annoying brat in the world.

Naruto sat before a steaming instant ramen but surprisingly he isn't eating due to the nightmare he has the previous day. The fact that it is more than a mere nightmare confused him to no end.

He may be dense but he has been able to put the puzzles together and things became clearer. The way the villager treats him coldly, calls him demon brat, and all the hash whispers, he just couldn't understand why. Now thought everything seems clear. He is the jinchuriki of the Kyubi. He wondered why no one, not even Hokage Jiji ever told him this. He sighed and dug into his cooling bowl of ramen. It seems nothing can keep him away from the food of the gods even when it gets cold.

Naruto made up his mind to skip the academy today and pay a visit to the Hokage. The old man has a lot of things to explain to him. Kurama sighed as he heard the thought of his host. As much as he wants things to change so that the horrible future doesn't come and meet them again, he would like things to remain close to the original timeline so that he can predict the movements of his enemies. That's is why he won't let the idiot run to the Hokage and start ranting about having a nightmare which will raise suspicions later on.

"Naruto. Don't go to the Hokage yet ". The boy blinked as he found himself in the sewer-like mindscape again. " What again fur ball? I was enjoying some ramen. Why do you have to stop me? I swear if my ramen gets colder you will pay dearly " Naruto threatened. Kurama sighed a little bit irritated. "If you go to the Hokage and start ranting about having a nightmare, you will be dismissed or worse, you will be held at the interrogation headquarters by Ibiki and I can assure you that that man will have some fun with your little brain. " Kurama said as a shiver run through Naruto's spine. He took a step back when Kurama started chuckling. "So, what should I do? " he asked. "I would recommend you go to the academy so that I guess how many days more before you graduate. I want to prepare you for some big events in the future " the fox said completely ignoring his host warning. The Kyubi is talking about preparing him again. Whatever it is he doesn't want to upset the damned fox so he will go to the academy today.

He sighed in frustration as he returned back to the land of the living. He tried his food realized it is still the way it was before the fox interrupted him. " Waaah! " he exclaimed. He starts devouring the meal then paused. He realized that something is off. He has been talking with the Kyubi for at least thirty minutes. If anything, the ramen should not be warm. "the hotter the better " he shrugged and continued the meal with renewed vigor.
