Prologue
A fight between two worthy warriors, you could hear a pin drop through the silence as the two waited for the other to make the first move.
In the background water crashed down onto the lake below and above them was a roar of lightening.
On the cliffs face awaited a apprehensive crowd waiting for them to spring into action!
The two warriors were panting heavily, sweat slowly cascaded down their foreheads and their legs were shaking slightly trying to hold the rest of the weight of their bodies.
On the left side was a man who was planning to turn the world to destruction and cause pain throughout.
On the right was a teen boy who was having to make the decision of either saving his own life or being the saviour of the world.
On the left the man spoke panting in between "Uzumaki… I will bring this...fight to...an end...we will meet and finally...we will decide who will be the saviour of this...world!"
With that said he formed one last jutsu before disappearing in a vortex.
The jutsu was cast on the young Uzumaki and the old but still intact necklace shone brightly as the justsu was cast.
The young blondes hair floated up in the air as he was lifted from the water surface, the necklace shone green around him causing him to close his eyes for a split second.
For that split second he regretted it as a bright light took over his form and transformed him into something else.
Once he was slowly lifted down to the water surface he opened his eyes to see he was lower then he had previously stood.
He looked upon his hands to see they were small and not what they once were.
He had a pain coming from his tail bone and he went to touch it.
He gasped in horror as he realised he had not one, not two but 9 golden soft fox tails.
Thinking foxes he put his small hands onto his head, he felt around before coming to a pair of golden fox ears.
He slid to the water surface and held his head in his hands as he heard something on the wind chant:
'Little fox, run not play, hiding from their enemies' way.
Little fox, come and see, that you should try to flee.
Little fox, do not cry, because today you are about to die…
Bakamono, can't you see, what your pet's about to be?
Bakamono, do not run, the search is long past done.
Bakamono, today you have leaded him to his death.'
The tears silently trickled down his face as he tried to cloud out the chant.
He could hear fast approaching footsteps and someone calling out his name.
Oh how he wished to run over to that person but something was telling him otherwise, to run away.
He didn't know why but he found himself running in the opposite direction from what his comrades were coming to.
He tried to yell out through sobs "GO AWAY!...LEAVE ME ALONE!...I...I DON'T WANT TO BE HURT!" but nothing came out.
He quickly ran away ignoring Sasuke's and everyone's calls.
He knew one day he would have to return and that day would change him...
