'Bijuu Thoughts.'
Naruto Uzumaki was exhausted now. He walked back towards the leaf village with the unconscious body of Sasuke Uchiha on his shoulder. He was tired and weak now, he just barely managed to defeat Sasuke at the valley of the end stopping him from leaving the village and going to Orochimaru. Naruto soon arrived at the village gates.
'I can't wait, I'll finally be treated like a hero for bringing Sasuke back. They'll finally see me as a hero and not as the fox.' He thought joyfully unfortunately for him he couldn't be more wrong then he was. As he slowly walked towards the village gates. Some villagers just came by. Several villagers ran towards Naruto. At first Naruto had a big grin on his face, he was thinking they were coming to congratulate him. However his happiness was short-lived as a villager knocked him down with a single punch. Another villager picked up Sasuke and said. "I'll get him to the hospital." The villager left carrying Sasuke. Some chunins then showed up, all their focuses were on Naruto.
"You demon, you could have costed us the last Uchiha! Do you know how much his Sharingan was worth?!" The chunin said angrily. Naruto mumbled in fear, "But, Sasuke was going to leave the village...I just." Another villager added on. "He probably wanted to leave because you were here! You demon fox!"
"Yeah, you'll kill us all!"
"Burn the demon!"
"Die in hell!"
"You're a bastard!"
"Monster!"
Naruto got up and then started to run, tears ran down his eyes like rivers, never had he experienced pain like this, his hopes crushed yet again. He ran and kept running. He didn't care as much of how tired he was, he kept running. As long as he could run he didn't care how much breath he had. He kept running, farther and farther away from the village.
Naruto had ran for about an hour straight. "Huff, huff." Naruto was now in the middle of nowhere, no trees or leaves to be seen, just plains and some tall grass. Naruto collapsed onto the soft grass, it seemed like the best idea in his hell of a world to just stay there and never, ever get up again. He slept.
In Naruto's mind.
"Grrrr...wake up kit."
Naruto's eyes opened shocked, he found himself in the chamber of the kyuubi or the ninetails. "What do you want, I'm already too upset."
"That's the point, I sense massive hatred within you, I want to strike a deal with you. One that will benefit both of us."
Naruto was upset, perhaps so upset towards the village that making a deal with the demon was not such a bad idea anymore. "Okay then, you bastard of a fox. What you want?"
"Hmm, you're much more understanding then I assumed. Okay then, here's the deal. There is a secret jutsu I can use that can grant wishes in exchange for one of my tail's worth of sacrifice. I will grant you nine wishes, if afterwards you release me from this accursed seal."
Naruto wasn't amused. "Yeah right! Why would I release you! The day I do that is the day I die!"
"You idiot! Use your brain for once. The village hates you, it hates you beyond anything else. Use these wishes to fix that and then take this world for yourself. For either peace or vengeance, it's all up to you."
Naruto was lighting up a little, but then he asked. "How do I know you won't just destroy everything afterwards."
"Because, sacrificing my tails really reduces my strength. It will take decades before my strength turns back to the strength I have now. But I don't care about that. I've been sealed away for too long that I don't care if I'm powerful. I just want to be free. No one will recognize me as the nine-tails, they'll probably mistake me for some random red fox in the wild. I'll live in peace in the wild. As you know tailed beasts cannot tell lies so do you accept?"
Naruto was starting to think it was a good deal and there was no downside of it other than the lack of trust it seemed like a really good deal. "To bring peace to the ninja world, it's the goal pervy sage has, okay then you have yourself a deal."
"Excellent. Remove the seal halfway, then I can perform the jutsu."
A spiral of red water lifts Naruto up to the seal that bound the kyuubi into the cage. Naruto released it halfway making the fox smirk that he was doing it.
"Good. Now before you tell me your wishes, I must inform you that there are limits to what I can grant."
"Huh, limits?" Naruto asked.
"Yes. I am a tailed beast, not a god, therefore there are limits to what I can do. Don't worry, it shouldn't mess things up too much."
"Oh, okay."
"There are 10 limits total. First I cannot grant control over elements, physical matter or spiritual energy. That is a god's power and beyond my reach."
"Well, I guess that's not too bad."
"Second, I cannot grant the ability to bring the dead back to life. Sorry, but that is the death god's control not mine, so if you were planning on resurrecting your parents you're out of luck."
"Aww man! Wait, you know who my parents are?" Naruto said curiously.
"Ah, yes, I remember that no one told you. They are Minato Namikaze, otherwise known as the fourth hokage and Kushina Uzumaki the previous jinchuuriki for myself the nine-tails."
"WHAT?!" Naruto screamed out loud. "MY FATHER IS THE FOURTH HOKAGE?!"
"Yes, didn't you put that together? You have the same hair."
"Well I guess I never figured it out. But still, WHAT?!" Naruto screamed again. "WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME?!"
"I'm not sure. I think it was to protect you?"
"FROM WHAT?! FROM KNOWING MY FATHER WAS HOKAGE SO I'D HAVE NO REASON FOR THE VILLAGERS TO RESPECT ME?!"
"Hehehe, that's a good way to put it."
"Just tell me the other limits!" Naruto demanded.
"You never were the patient type. Fine then. The third is I cannot grant you the position of high power such as a kage. Sorry, but you can't wish you were the hokage."
"Who'd want to be hokage anyway..." Naruto said completely surprising Kurama that he said so.
'He's changing.' Kurama thought. "The fourth limit is that I cannot grant the ability to manipulate minds, unless it can be broken. In other words I cannot grant you an unbreakable genjutsu."
"Well okay. I guess that's not too bad."
"Fifth, I cannot grant you unlimited chakra. But I'm pretty sure you figure that out. You can regenerate chakra like anyone and have large amounts, but not unlimited."
"Oh okay..." Naruto was going to wish for that, but he was too used to having his hopes crushed to let it bother him.
"Sixth, I cannot grant you the ability to travel or see into the past or future, I didn't think you'd need it anyways."
"Well, okay?"
"Seventh, you cannot wish for another living being to be out of existence. Or wish that someone will do something specific. That is manipulating someone's future and that is not allowed by the gods."
"So I can't wish Sasuke dead?" Naruto asked.
"No." Kurama replied.
"Well, okay, continue."
"Eighth, you cannot travel to other dimensions because that would anger the dimensional ruler of that realm."
"There are other dimensions?"
"Yes, about 16 of them. One is ours. Then there's the kamui dimension, zombie planet, block land, and many that I will not get into."
"So I can't travel to any of them?"
"Well, the kamui dimension is allowed, you simply need to wish for the ability to use kamui, which is an ability of the Sharingan."
"I'll keep that in mind. Thanks."
"Nineth, you cannot wish to control other tailed beasts. Sorry, but that's a contract the others made with me."
"Well, I had no intention in the first place. I would be no better than the leaf if I did."
"Finally you cannot wish for more wishes, but that was pretty obvious."
"I wasn't planning on doing that. Wait, if I release you, won't I die in the process?"
"No, that would be the case if I was at full power, but I will not be once the jutsu is done. The most that could happen is you faint for an hour or so."
"Oh, okay. So my first wish is that I possess the Rinnegan."
"Ah, the great eyes of the sage himself. Good choice, but do you not want the Sharingan or Byakugan?"
"No, those are Konoha's eyes, if I use them then I'm just another pawn under their control. I'll do things my unique way. Oh, but can you make it with kamui since Sharingan is the descendant of Rinnegan?"
"No problem, your wish is granted." One of Kurama's tails glowed a massive red and then dispelled as the energy blasted at Naruto. His eyes changed color from blue to gray gaining the eyes of the sage.
"Cool." Naruto said he already felt an enormous amount of chakra building up inside him.
"Second, I wish to be able to regenerate cells and any damaged or missing organs at fast paces. As long as at least one cell of my body remains I can regenerate more."
"Okay then. Seems reasonable." Kurama's second tail glowed red and dispelled as well as the energy blasted at Naruto. When the jutsu ended Naruto felt stronger, like he was invincible.
"Third, I wish for the ability to communicate with dead souls, sealed or not, so ya know, I can see my parents, oh and maybe the previous hokage!"
"I guess since you're not bringing them back the death god would allow that." Kurama's third tail glowed and the energy transfers to Naruto.
"Fourth, I wish to be able to copy and learn any jutsu I see."
"Okay. How about this, you can absorb any jutsu your opponent uses, and if you do you can then use it."
"Okay, sounds good."
Kurama's fourth tail glows and the energy transfers into Naruto.
"Fifth, I want to be able to travel at light speeds. Just like my dad's flying raijin jutsu."
"Light speed travel it is." Kurama's fifth tail glows and energy transfers into Naruto.
"Sixth, let's see. I wish for the ability to cast genjutsu completely under my control like Itachi's Tsukuyomi, but as long as possible. They can break it if their will is greater than mine."
"Well, okay. That's within the rules." Kurama's sixth tail glows and the energy transfers into Naruto.
"I wish I can control my own emotions, so that if I want to be happy I can be and erase any negative emotions. Or if I want to be emotionless."
"Very well. It will make you more civilized."
"HEY!" Naruto snapped back.
"You never were the very smart nor mattered type. You never had parents so I can't blame you."
"Yeah, that's true..."
"Eighth, I wish I had the power to destroy this world in the case if I wanted too."
"Hmm, that's a broad wish. I put it in the way as much power as physically possible."
"That works."
"Okay then, your final wish?"
"Actually, this is for you."
"For me?"
"I wish that you can be free and live in peace without destruction."
"Hmm, that is a kind wish, but that will happen anyways with or without. I won't spend my tail for that one, so now your end of the bargain, free me from this seal."
"Right." Naruto takes the seal completely off.
"Goodbye Naruto Uzumaki."
"Goodbye Nine-tails."
Bright light engulfed the chamber and when the light cleared Naruto was on the field again. He could feel all his wishes giving him more power than he ever imagined. His goal was now in play, to bring peace to the ninja world.
"WATCH OUT WORLD, HERE COMES NARUTO UZUMAKI YA KNOW!"
Author's Notes
Yeah I know this chapter was a little short, but this is just the prologue so ya know. If anyone has any ideas for what wishes he should have done tell me in a review, I was having a little trouble thinking of them. Read, Review, Follow, Favorite, the more I get the more motivated I am to write.
