Chapter 1

The Sage of six paths stood in the middle of a circle that was surrounded by six red arrows and four magatama. He coughed and opened his purple ringed eyes as he gazed upon nine large beasts he had created with his eyes, which was known as the Rinnegan.

He spoke in a elderly and sagely voice "It is time for me to go, my children." One of the beasts replied "But Father…!" The sage shook his head and said "I'm sorry young one, but I am human, as much as I don't want it…I'll eventually die. You must all go now, make a name for yourself and even create a clan."

The Sage sighed and said "But before you do go, I must give you some gifts." He looked at the one tailed Raccoon and replied "For as long as you live Shukaku, you have limitless potential to control the desert and the wind."

He looked at the two tailed cat and said "Matatabi, for as long as you live you shall have complete control over all heat and your body. You will also sense the unsensible. You will grow stronger as the years pass."

The Sage coughed rather loudly as he looked at the three tailed turtle and said "Isobu, you will have an incredible potential to create water from even the driest of places."

The Sage then spoke again, but this time he kept speaking and did not stop even when he seemed to be out of breath. He looked at the four tails to the nine tails. The four tails was a giant ape, the five tails a humongous horse, the six tails was a massive slug, the seven tails was a huge beetle, the eight tails was a massive octopus combined with a bull and the nine tails was giant fox with very orange fur.

"Son Goku, you will have the ability to create Lava Release, as I have called it, for you mix earth and fire to create it."

"Kukuo you will have another special ability known as the Boil release, for you will have limitless potential to manipulate the water and fire."

"Saiken you will have the ability to have more potential than Isobu as your manipulation of water will astound even the greatest of water users."

"Choumei your ability to control and speak to all insects will be unrivalled. Your poisons will have no equal."

"Gyuki, your power will be yours alone and you will find that your ink abilities will help you in the future."

"And finally Naruto, you have the most power behind all of the tailed beasts, your power will topple Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Goku and Kukuo's combined. You will have more power than all of them. Your special traits are that your skills will never be unrivaled. You will have mastery of all elements, though you must be careful, as they are easy to become out of control. Your most important feature is that I will give you control of my yin yang release."

"And now for some final adjustments, you all will have the ability to create something known as the Bijuudama. If you listen to your instincts that has been created with you, you will activate it. You all will be able to communicate in a special room that I have created so that you can communicate together no matter what."

"And the last thing, know that even when you are apart, you all will be connected."

With that the Sage vanished into the air, but not before he spoke in a whisper "Goodbye my children." With that the Sage was gone.

The tailed beasts sniffed and felt sad. They thought of the Sage as their father and it felt bad that he was gone now. Naruto closed his slitted red eyes and opened them again. He spoke in a small voice that sounded like seven year old, though he didn't know that. "Father said we must go. I suggest we do as he said. But before we go, I just want to say as the youngest of us that I love all of you." Shukaku, then walked to Naruto on his paws and said "Naruto, I know you will always stay the softy of out family."

He looked at the other Bijuu and said "As the oldest I suggest that we choose our territory, so that all of us may know where we live and perhaps we can go visit each other. I will take the desert as that is where I will be strongest."

Isobu, Saiken and Kukuo chose to go into the ocean because they would be strongest there. The rest of the Bijuu decided that they would go and wander the world and find a place to rest and keep up with each other.

As each of them left Naruto smiled sadly. He definantly loved his older brothers and sisters. He really did but he felt a bit sad as he was the strongest. He felt that the Sage had given him too much power. He wasn't complaining, but it made him feel guilty.

Finally, it was his turn to leave the cave. Nine tails wagging behind him, he went into the deep and dark world.

He saw it was night so he sighed and activated his chakra lightly. It made him warm. He then sought out a place to sleep. He wandered for quite a while, maybe a couple of weeks. He didn't need to eat as he was just Chakra that was given form. He wandered and wandered and wandered, that was until he came upon a giant rock. He glanced at the rock and saw it was definantly huge enough to give him shelter, even if it was for a while.

But how was he going to make a hole big enough for him, that was the question? Well, his question was answered. Suddenly his body acted without his accord and he opened his mouth. Naruto's nine tails all pointed to one spot as a massive amount of Chakra floated and formed a black ball of energy in the middle. Suddenly Naruto swallowed it and he felt something explode as he opened his mouth. There was suddenly a big white explosion as a giant hole was made in the rock.

The cave was perfect. It wasn't damp or musty…it was perfect. He smiled. So that's what the Sage meant by having instincts, maybe it will help him later. He lied down and finally after a couple of weeks he could get some rest.

Before he went to sleep he promised his old man, The Sage of Six Paths, that he would perfect himself and all his techniques, that he would be unstoppable and unbeatable. Naruto closed his eyes and he felt happy. He instinctively licked his lips and purred as he felt the sun shining on his orange fur. Naruto drifted into sleep as he had one final thought before he finally gave in to the lull of the sleep.

He was Naruto the Nine Tails!
