THOUGHTS

KURAMA

A small blond is running through the forest outside of Konohagakure. The boy is just about three years old, running without looking back. Behind him are villagers with weapons in their hands. They are searching for the "demon brat" that has just ran out of the village. After a while of hopeless searching in the forest, they went back. The boy, hearing nothing from them, starts to relax and sits down under a tree, panting heavily.

He doesn't understand. He's done nothing to them and yet, they've always mistreated him. They beat him, starve him and lock him in a cage if he ever makes even just the smallest mistake. Almost everything he does, they consider it evil. They also don't let him get anywhere around the other children. For a genius like him, it isn't hard to realize they dislike him. Everyone dislikes him. So this morning he decided to ask. The villagers said something about a demon that had possessed him, and that they wanted to kill him before it was too late. He said he was not a demon, but people kept chasing him. And finally, they kicked him out of the orphanage.

He now looks down at his body. Bruises and cuts are all over his flesh, and are slowly healing. He feels tears begin to fall down on his whiskered cheeks.

Why? Why me of all people? I didn't do anything.

Suddenly a voice rings in his head. It's warm and concerned. A wave of comfort burst through him.

Kit, are you all right? Can you hear me, Kit?

"W-who are you?" He asks shakily even though he likes the voice very much.

Finally for the first time in three years you've heard me. Now close your eyes. It's alright. I won't hurt you.

He feels the warmth spreads in his heart. No one has ever said that to him except the old man Hokage. He does as the voice told him to. He closes his eyes. The voice once again speaks up.

You can open your eyes now.

He opens his eyes and looks around. He's in a dark hallway. In front of him is a large cage with a lock with a kanji for "Seal" on it.

"Where am I? Where are you, voice?"

You know, I have a name. Come closer to the cage.

He does as he was told. Inside the cage is a huge, orange, nine-tailed fox, ruby-red eyes with slit pupils looking at him piercingly but somewhat comforting and caring.

"W-what are you?"

I am the great Kyuubi no Kitsune. I attacked your village three years ago and was sealed into you by the Yondaime Hokage. I'm the very reason that the village hates you. My real name is Kazama Kurama.

"You have a weird name. So did you do something bad? B-because when I-I do something bad, they will lock me in a cage, j-just like you." He begins to sob.

Those memories are NOT for a three year-old innocent kid. That goddamned village. The fox frowns deeply.

Hey, don't cry now, kid. You're safe with me now. I promise I won't hurt you nor will I let anyone else hurt you.

"Really? You promise?" He looks at the fox with big, cerulean eyes.

Yes, I promise. Now, for your question. I attacked your village, so partly yes, it was a bad thing. But it was because some of Konoha's shinobi's killed my best and only friend, a human I treasure the most. He was all I had. So I was very, very angry and I seek revenge.

"T-then it's not your fault. It was the shinobi's fault. They sh-shouldn't have attacked your friend. That was bad."

Damn. You're too smart for three year-old.

"That's what the villagers told me." He sobs again.

Ugh…. I'm sorry kid. Didn't mean it like that. Anyway, I know a way that I can protect you.

"Y-you want to p-protect me? Y-you don't hate me?

Why the fuck should I hate you? You're my kid. My little brother. I should protect you.

At that, the little blond runs through the bars, hugging a leg of the big fox. Kyuubi just sighs.

I need to help this kid… he's fragile. He may break down anytime soon if I'm not going to do anything.

Now kid, bite your thumb or wherever you like and draw blood on the seal over there.

"But I can't reach it- Ah!"

He yelps when one of Kyuubi's tails lifts him up to the same level as the seal. He bites his thumb and draws his blood on the seal. It lits up in a blue aura and then fades away. He hears Kyuubi say something before everything goes white.

Now get out and wait. I'll be there in a few seconds.

The blond opens his eyes and looked around. He's in the forest and it's about five in the morning. He yawns and stretches. Hearing an amused chuckle, he looks up to see a red-haired teen standing in front of him. He yelps as the teen picks him up and puts him onto his shoulders.

"K-Kyuubi?"

The boy has red hair going to the middle of his back, pale skin and ruby-red orbs with slit pupils. He's 6'2 ft. tall. He's wearing a black silky yukata with a golden sash. He's the most gorgeous person the blonde has ever met in his short life. He hears Kyuubi chuckles louder.

"Why, yes I am. Now, tell me, do you know your name?"

"Yes. It's Naruto. The old man told me once or twice."

"Then Naruto, let's get you to the old man."

"Eh? Why?"

"I want to adopt you as a brother so I need to talk to the old man."

"Oh."

He doesn't completely understand anything about the adoption thing, but still nods. Naruto yells in excitement as Kyuubi carries him on his shoulders, jumping tree to tree, roof to roof. Once they reaches the Hokage Tower, Kyuubi bursts in through the window while Naruto chirps happily.

"Jiji. Look what I found."

""What"? I'm not a thing, kid. You were supposed to say "who"".

"Oh? Okay I'll remember that next time."

He says as he jumps onto the old man's lap.

The Third Hokage looks confused. He looks back and forth between Naruto and the young man. He sighs.

"Whoever you are, next time use the front door. I don't need another Jiraiya."

"I'm sorry. But we were in a hurry."

"Oh? Care to explain?"

The old man cocks an eyebrow at the smiling young man.

"Well, I've been living with the kid for three years and I've seen the things villagers do to him. And for the entire three years time, I couldn't do anything because I couldn't talk to the kid over there" – he points at the cutely sleeping blond – "up until now."

"Wait. You don't mean that you're….? Are you?"

"Eh? Yes I am exactly the one you're referring to. Anyway, on with my requests. I want to be a Shinobi of Konoha, for the benefits of my little brother."

The old Hokage is stunned by the information. First off, standing in front of him is the Kyuubi. The very Kyuubi that attacked the village not long ago. Secondly, what the hell have the villagers done to Naruto, against his rules and the Fourth's dying wish? And lastly, Kyuubi CARES for Naruto?

Suddenly Kyuubi feels someone's chakra in the room. He then smirks at the still confused Hokage.

"It seems like we have a rat here. You'd better come out, now."

He growls out the last word.

An ANBU with a weasel mask steps out from the dark corner. He's just about eight or so. He's 4'1 ft. tall. He has long dark hair; sharingan eyes flashing behind the mask, a trademark bloodline of the Uchiha Clan.

"Geez. An Uchiha? Damn I hate Uchiha's."

Kyuubi murmurs as the kid approaches the Hokage's desk.

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama." He bows slightly with respect.

"It's okay, Itachi. I was going to call for you anyway. This young man here is wishing to be a Konoha Shinobi because of Naruto's own good. You know who he is, don't you?" The old man smiles a bit.

"I think I can guess."

"Tell me."

"He's Kyuubi no Kitsune. He is the only one in the world has red chakra surrounding pure chakra."

"Very observant I see." – Kyuubi smirks – "Oh and you can call me Kurama. That's my real name."

The old man smiles at the quiet Uchiha and the smirking Kyuubi.

"Very well. But you said requests, earlier. What else do you want?"

"Ah, right, yeah… I want to adopt Naruto as my brother, also I want the heritages of Kazama Arashi, who I heard would probably come back in… seven years or so."

"Kazama? You, how did you know?"

"Duh… somehow I'm related to him. Not by blood of course."

"I can see that." Itachi mocks in a very un-Uchiha voice.

"Shut up Uchiha or you'll enjoy your last meal mixed with your own blood."

"Okay continue- wait. What did you say about "come back in seven years"?

"Hm? Yes, I heard the pervert of a Shinigami said that he would only keep your "hero" for about ten years to recover his soul and chakra. I also heard, which I wish that I actually heard it wrong, that the bastard LIKED your "hero"– and so, he'll return in seven years. Or something likes that."

"WHAT?!"

The scream is heard all over Konoha. Everybody flinches at the voice of their beloved Hokage and wonders what made him so angry.

Itachi's eyes could never be as wide as they are right now. His god-father, also his father's best friend, will probably return safely, thanks to "the pervert of a Shinigami." Naruto's eyes crack open, he rubs them by the back of his hand as he asks sleepily.

"What is it, old man? Why did you scream like that?"

"Nothing, Naru-kun. Can you go sleep on the couch over there? You may fall down if you sleep here."

He walks lazily to the couch and throws himself on it and sleeps right after his back touches the couch.

The Sandaime sighs.

"Alright. Since your strength and identity need to be kept hidden, I'll place you on Itachi's ANBU team. Itachi, please inform this to your team. And next morning I'll announce you as the heir of the Kazama clan and hand over your- his heritage. I'll also revive the Kazama clan's position in the council until Arashi returns, if your words are true. And this conversation is an S-class confidential, understood?

"Understood, Hokage-sama."

"Whatever old man."

He sighs.

"Since you're going to be an ANBU, please show some respect while you're on a mission, okay?"

"Fine. Oh wait old man, I… well, accidentally enhanced Naruto's body. He may be three years old but in the morning he'll look like 5 or 6 years old so that I can train him properly. Just informing you, so don't be shock."

Kyuubi turns around as he feels a dark aura being released towards him. Behind him is a very pissed off Itachi.

"What. The. Fuck. Do. You. Mean. ACCIDENTALLY?"

"Whoa, calm down brat. It's for his own good. He needs to know how to defend himself. I'm not going to reveal that the new head of Kazama clan adopted their "supposedly to be hero." I want his father to announce his heritage, not me. So, I'm going to let him live with 2 masks and 1 real-self. You both understand?"

"That sounds good. And what are you going to train him in?"

"His doujutsu. It's his Kekkei Genkai from his mother's clan, the Uzumaki."

"How did you know, fox?" Itachi says bravely.

"Checked his DNA you moron. What, do you think I live INSIDE of him for nothing?" He replies with a faked hurt look.

"Don't ever call me a moron you bastard fox." Itachi glares, using the famous Uchiha's' "death glare." But that's nothing compared to the mother-hen-mode-Iruka's glare.

"Then don't call me that." Kyuubi snaps back.

"FINE."

"FINE."

"BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP. I'm trying to sleep here."

All three of them turn to look at a slightly older Naruto. He's about five by now. His blonde hair is brushing his shoulder, his whisker scars deepened. He's 3'7 ft. right now and his white T-shirt is a bit tight for him and his pants are shorter.

"That was faster than I expected."

"Where did you get the language, Naruto-kun?"

"I think I heard some villagers and shinobi who tried to kill me said that. Some lines like "Fuck off you demon", "demon brat", "go back to your hell"…. Yeah something likes that."

He says with a shrug as if he doesn't give a damn.

Both Sandaime and Itachi glare at Kyuubi because of Naruto's change of personalities.

"Ha-ha…. Seems like I overdid it. Don't worry. It'll disappear in a few days."

"It better be or this is the end of your balls."

Sandaime glares at a sweating Kyuubi.

"And your dick. Also your virginity." Itachi grabs his ninjato.

"Err… hello? We have a minor here. Guys?" Naruto's voice pulls them back to reality.

"Sorry. You're dismissed. Oh and, Itachi, tell Kakashi I called for him. And if he's late by just a second, there will be consequences. Kurama, take Naruto to the clan's compound. I think he should disappear until he's well trained enough to join ANBU. Two years may fit."

"Hmm…. I'm thinking about taking him to Uzugakure. But nevertheless, the Uzumaki clan's ninjutsu and Kekkei Genkai books are all here so maybe we don't need to. Anyway, he'll be able to join in a year. I'm one hell of a teacher, you know."

"Yeah. Just go already. And don't let anyone see him."

"Bye, Jiji. See ya later." Naruto waves from Kyuubi shoulders. He seems to like being on there.

"Bye, Naru-kun."

So how was it? Was it good? Bad? Please tell me. Your reviews mean a lot to me.

Thanks for reading!
