Prologue

A man stood atop of a great mountain, six magatama beads adorning his neck. Looking down, he then smiled, as he saw a small rock. He picked up the small rock, then blew his breathe on it. He then whispered, "Progress will never happen unless change happens. Change will not happen unless one is willing to change. Become the change this world needs so desperately. Bring progress and inspiration to this world of darkness." He then set the stone back on the ground, before disappearing in flashes of celestial light, and blurs of wind and clouds.

Now, the simple stone lay atop of the great mountain. By appearance, there was nothing special about the stone, at least for the moment, but the mountain was located in a grand place, what is today known as Hoa Quả Son, the mountain of flowers and fruit. A storm made from the primal forces of chaos and elements raged around the stone, shaping it, forming it, smoothing out the rough edges.

When the storm ceased, all was calm, sunlight shining down on the mountain, bringing light back to the area. The stone was now in the shape of a large egg, as smooth as one as well. All day, the egg-shaped stone stood, as still as rock, until night fall came.

Underneath the light of the full moon, the egg-shaped stone began to shift, rocking back and forth, from side to side. It then began to roll down the mountain side, landing in a slow current stream. It floated down the stream until it washed up on the banks of a small lake in front of a waterfall, the moon shining down on the area.

The egg-shaped stone rolled itself in front of the waterfall, and then stopped moving all together. From behind the waterfall, a litter of fox kits began to shyly step out, curious about the egg. The litter varied in colors, grey, black, and white furs. The kits approached the egg, and then jumped back when it wobbled a bit more.

Out from behind the waterfall, a large red-furred kitsune stepped out, seven orange-tipped tails swaying from behind it. She moved closer to the egg, staring at it calmly.

"What is it, mama?" One of the kits asked in their own fox tongue.

"It is an egg, my child!" The kitsune mother said tenderly with love and care.

"What kind of egg is it?" One asked. "Can we eat it?" Another asked. "Looks kinda funny!" One commented.

The egg then began to rattle, shaking violently as it did. All but one of the kits yelped and panicked, hiding behind their mother, peeking from behind her seven tails. The one that didn't panic was a young female kit with white fur, and plum colored eyes. She moved closer to the egg, curious of what was inside.

Cracks began to form on the egg, something inside trying to break free. The stone egg instantly shattered, revealing a young fox with fiery red-orange fur, falling over, rolling on its back. The red fox moved towards the young fox, her grey eyes looking it straight in the face, the kit's small eyes shut tight. It then began to open its small eyes, blinking once, then twice, revealing two shining sapphire blue eyes.

It then began to look around, spotting the white furred, plum-eyed kit, staring at the fox in amazement. It then began to try to stand on all four of its legs, shaking wobbly from the first time use. It stood on all fours, and then began stumbling towards her. It tripped on its own legs, almost falling forward, but was caught and supported by the red kitsune mother.

It stared up at her, looking deep into her eyes, seeing only love in the vastness of those eyes. He then tried to stand yet again, and then continued to stumble forward, not wanting to give up.

The kitsune watched with amazement on how tenacious the little one was. "You sure do not know when to give up, do you little one?" She asked sweetly, walking next to it just in case it fell again. In appearance, the red fox was about the same age as the mother's kits, it also had a slight tinge of yellow at the end of its red fur.

"You certainly are a strange one!" She chuckled out.

She picked it up by the scruff of its neck, and then set it in front of the plum-eyed kit. The plum-eyed kit looked at the strange fox, and then she blushed when it began to sniff at her a bit. The other kits began to come over, seeing the fox as no threat, then began to crowd around it. The mother kitsune smiled at the sight of her kit's curiosity, but then tensed at the presence of someone coming.

"My, my, my. What do we have here my dear Kushina?" Stepping out of the shadows appeared a black fox with six tails, missing a front right arm, a scar running down its right eye, and an X-shaped scar under its bottom jaw. It was addressing the red kitsune calmly, looking to the fiery red fox suspiciously.

She looked to the black scarred fox angrily, losing the gentle composure she had earlier. "Danzo! This does not concern you!" She growled out.

"I beg to differ, my dear." He continued on calmly. "I can sense what that kit truly is, as can you."

Kushina, the red furred kitsune, gently nuzzled all of the kits back into the den behind the waterfall, the fiery red fox staying behind her. She then glared straight back at Danzo, her fur standing on end. "I wish to have this kit as my own, regardless of what he is!" She growled out.

Danzo stared at her seriously, his lone eye shifting between Kushina and the young fox. "Kushina, if you raise him, he will only bring you suffering. After all, he is a demon." He tried to reason, glaring angrily at the fiery red fox. "I say that we execute the demon before it's too late."

"He has done nothing wrong! I care not what will happen, I will take full responsibility for him!" Kushina growled out, almost pleading Danzo.

"Humph. Let's let the council make that decision." He then lifted his head toward the sky, and then began to yelp out loud continuously, loud enough to be heard for miles. All of sudden, shadows began to appear, revealing themselves to be foxes and kitsune of different shades of colors and breeds, all of them with five tails or more.

At the top of the mountaintop appeared a giant fox, three times the size of a bear, with fiery red fur, nine tails swaying in different directions, two smaller foxes covered in armor at both his sides.

His blood red eyes looked to Danzo, the one who summoned them. "Danzo, why have you summoned us?" He bellowed out.

Danzo politely bowed, then answered. "Great Kyuubi, council of elders, I have summoned you here to judge this demon born from chaos. Kushina wishes to spare this, 'abomination', but I say to eliminate it, to prevent it from plaguing us with the wrath of the heavens."

Kushina instantly argued back, "This kit has done nothing wrong! All it has done is but exist. Please great Kyuubi; allow me the chance to raise it as one of my own! If allowed to raise it, I will make sure it grows to be a creature of good virtue! Please, I plead to you!"

The council began to whisper among themselves, showing how they disagreed with what Kushina said.

"ENOUGH!" Kyuubi yelled, catching all the kitsune attention, silencing them. "You all seem to forget that at one time, I was once one of the Tailed Beasts, horrible monsters bent on destruction. Yet, when I returned to my sanity, you all forgave my cruel actions."

"That is true, great one! But you were not born a demon, you were originally a fox!" Shouted a

grey furred fox with eight tales, and aged looking features.

"Homura is right, great one! If we let this, 'thing,' continue to live, we may come to regret it later on! It must be 'taken' care of!" Shouted out a grey-furred female kitsune, who also had eight tales and aged features.

"KOHARU! You can't be serious!" Kushina roared out, slightly angry at her words. "Please, great one, let this kit live! Look at him! He is ignorant to his own plight!" The young fox was currently pawing at Kushina's tails, "If raised appropriately, he could grow to be a great fox! Maybe even become one of Inari's messengers! Please, just spare him!"

"I am afraid, Kushina, that it seems it is not up to me, but to the decision of the council!" He bellowed out, a sad expression crossing his features. "It is time to decide the kit's fate!" He bellowed to all the council members, all of them whispering among themselves.

When the whispers stopped, the two guard foxes ran to each of the council members, receiving their answers. They returned to the great Kyuubi, whispering into his ears the council's collective answers.

He sighed, and then spoke with firm sadness in his voice. "The council has decided! The kit shall be put... to death!"

Kushina began to hover over the young fox, shielding it with her own body from all the other foxes, snarling at any that came close. The other kitsunes were closing in, when all of a sudden; a bright flash of light and smoke appeared in between the crowd of foxes and Kushina.

"Hey! Don't I have a say in this?!" Said a human looking man with blonde spiky hair, blue eyes, a fiery whip at his side, and two bags of rice strapped to his belt, a fox mask on the side of his head, and a white cloak with flames at the bottom trim of it.

"Minato the Inari!" Kyuubi yelled in surprise, bowing before the man. All the other foxes, except the young kit which was still playing, bowed to the man as well. "What brings you here to honor us with your presence, master?"

"I have come to see this so called demon that plagues my messengers with fear!" He stated sarcastically. "Where is this demon? I wish to see it and vanquish it, so that it won't ravage the lands ever again!" He began to dramatically move his arms up and down, left and right, his voice slightly in a silly overdramatic tone.

He looked over to Kushina, who was bowing in fear that he would do well on his word, the young fiery fox still swatting at her tails.

Minato walked casually over to the young fox, putting his hand gently underneath his frontal legs, and then lifting him up to view. "Is this the demon I heard about?" He looked the fox straight in the eyes, its features looking as if it was smiling at him. Minato then began to look the fox over, looking all over the fox's body, even noticing what gender it was.

"It's a boy!" He comically announced. The fox then licked him on the nose, showing affection to him. Minato chuckled at this gesture. He then turned to face the council, and the great Kyuubi, raising the fox above his head.

"This fox will grow to do great things!" He said a smirk on his face. "For now, you shall be named..." He paused for a moment, considering the young one's name. "You shall be named..." He repeated again, still trying to think of a name. Then, his face then brightened, thinking up a name suitable to the young one. "Ishi no Kitsune!" He yelled out dramatically, causing some of the foxes to look at him weirdly, or sweat in embarrassment.

"Stone Fox, sir?" The great Kyuubi questioned.

"Yes. He was born from stone, and he's a fox! Good name, huh?" He asked with grin. His face then became elderly serious. "I expect him to achieve great things in the future." He said with an air of sagely wisdom. "He is forbidden to be harmed by any of my servants, this I decree. Little one, no harm will come to you from any fox except from Kushina, who shall act as a mother to you, and shall only do so as a punishment for your misdeeds. This I promise!" He cried out to all of the foxes, staring down at the young fox. "And I never go back on my promises, young one." He whispered to the young fox.

As Minato held Ishi in the air, a yellowish fluid began to rain down on Minato's head. With a look of both embarrassment, and disgust, Minato gently placed the fox down next to Kushina, who looked up to him in surprise, as well as the counsel. Minato began to calmly wipe himself off, slight disgust still on his face.

When he had finished, he looked to Kushina, then said, "Take good care of him, Kushina. I leave him to you." He then turned to face the rest of the council, all of who were shocked by these events. "As for the rest of you, return to your homes. This event no longer concerns you! I other words, Get LOST!" He said, still a bit embarrassed about being leaked on.

The council then began to leave, returning to their homes before invoking Minato's wrath. Minato then turned to Kushina one last time, looking her straight in the eyes.

"Well! I am off! I have to go help a blacksmith forge a sword named Little Fox! Gee, how ironic." He mused to himself. "Farewell and congratulations on your new kit!" He then vanished with the wind and clouds, leaving Kushina alone with the young fox.

She looked down at the little fox as it curled up next to her. "Ishi, huh? From now on, you will be called Ishi."

It stares up at her, as if trying to understand her words. "Ish-ish!" It tried to pronounce its name, unable to sound the words properly.

"That's right, little one!" She said, nuzzling the young fox's stomach. "And you can call me mother!"

"Ma ma, mama!" It said, licking her in the face, affectionately. Kushina then grabbed Ishi by the gruff of his neck, carrying him to the cave behind the waterfall.

Up in the air, watching the events take place, was a young man dressed in purple ninja garments, platinum hair tied in a pony tail, a pair of spectacle glasses over his eyes, purple bat-like wings on his back, and a purple arrow-headed tail swinging about.

"Hmm. A very interesting turn of events!" He stated while adjusting his glasses, a smirk adorning his face.


In a dark realm, in a frightening looking castle, what the leather winged man was seeing was being displayed on a mirror in the throne room of the castle. In the room were shadowy figures of different shaped monstrosities, and in the center, in a royal chair, was a pale serpent-like man with black hair, yellow serpent-like eyes with purple eyeliner around the edges, and a black and white kimono. The man was smiling as he watched the events in the mirror.

"Very interesting indeed, Kabuto! Kukukukuku!" His snickering sounded like hissing. "The young one has potential! Plus, he has an innocent mind, making it very malleable to the wickedness of the world! Kukuku!" As he snickered, the shadows in the throne room joined in and laughed as well. He then called out to the crowd, as if he was making a speech. "I am Orichimaru! My wish is the downfall of the Great Sage and his teachings! And how do we intend to do that, my minions?"

The shadows cheered loudly for the snake man, named Orichimaru, answering his question in unison. "With Pain, Anger, Pride, Envy, Lust, Greed, and Gluttony!"

"Kukuku! Yes, that is correct my minions. Humans are so easily manipulated. It won't be long before this world plunges into pure, utterly beautiful darkness!"

At that moment, all the horrendous monstrosities in the chamber began cheering, roaring, and howling in victory, going into a wild frenzy.

Orichimaru then turned to the mirror, and then began to speak to it. "Kabuto, keep an eye on the fox and try to bring him to the side of darkness! He may be useful to me later on! Kukuku!"

The leather-winged man known as Kabuto continued to stare down at the cave, and then gave his own evil smirk. "As you wish, Lord Orichimaru!" Then he cloaked his wings over his body, disappearing into the shadows.
