I do not own Naruto or any of the characters or techniques created by Masashi Kishimoto.
"You have caused us quite a bit of trouble, but it seems that your luck has finally run out."
"I'm not out yet Itachi! Take this! Rasenshuriken!" Naruto cried, charging the wounded Akatsuki member.
"You do not pay attention do you?" Itachi avoided the hurricane of destruction and stabbed the blond jinchuuriki through the heart. "That's the third time you tried that trick, the first two times you still had two arms and you used clones to make it faster, yet you still tried it again in your current state. It would seem my worthless otouto was actually right for once, you truly are a loser."
"Don't underestimate me dammit!" Naruto erupted in a storm of demonic charkra as his features became more fox-like.
Itachi withdrew his blade from Naruto's chest and kicked him away. "You know I only agreed to hunt down bijuu for Akatsuki because I thought they would be a good measure of my own power, which is why I gladly accepted when Leader-sama asked me to hunt down the kyuubi's jinchuuriki. After all what greater measure of one's power could there be than the mightiest of the bijuu, supposedly the most powerful creatures in existence, instead I am disappointed time and again in my hunt." Itachi stares at Naruto who is now so engulfed in an aura of deep crimson chakra in the shape of a four-tailed fox that his body cannot be seen. "I cannot believe that the kyuubi is this weak, Orochimaru and my otouto were more challenging than you."
The chakra fox roared in fury at these words as it grew to a six tailed form and charged at the smirking Uchiha.
"You may be far more powerful than me in this state, but it is not such an overwhelming amount of power as to make up for your lack of skill." Itachi began preforming handsigns before calling out, "Kokuun no Jutsu!" causing oil to rain down on Naruto. "Hn... you don't even have enough intellect left in this state to realize when you are charging into an attack." He proceeds to avoid slashes from the chakra claws trying to hit and states, "It would seem it is not even worth it to draw this out any longer since you seem to be fighting worse as you draw on more of the fox's power, at least when you used your own power you managed to wound me." Staring at the oil soaked chakra construct Itachi's eyes transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan and he unleashed his last attack with a whisper of, "Amaterasu." The enraged jinchuuriki didn't stand a chance as the black flames from Itachi's eyes connected with his oil soaked form and rapidly spread across his entire body.
As the kyuubi withdrew its chakra into Naruto so it could focus on making sure he survived the flames Naruto regained control of his body and immediately blacked out from the pain of the fires from Amaterasu.
"Damned fox what the hell where you doing charging into Amaterasu while covered in oil!!"
"Shut up you pathetic human. I had nothing to do with that idiocy, it was all you."
"Bullshit fox you're chakra was in control which meansYOU were in control!"
"Mortal haven't we already established that I don't want you dying?"
"Yeah, but maybe you decided to change your mind since the seal has been weakening!"
"Grrr... QUIET DOWN YOU INSOLENT WORM!! When you call on my chakra it is yours to use as you will. I have nothing to do with anything it does while you're manipulating it..."
"But what about that fox shaped aura it takes? Isn't that due to your manipulations? Well!! Isn't it?!"
"Didn't I tell you to SHUT UP! Since you're stuck in here for awhile I will explain all of that as long as you don't talk! Got it?" With no comments forthcoming from the blonde human before him the mighty kitsune continued with, "as I was saying while my chakra is under you're control I can only call it back to me or give more to you. The fox shaped aura is because I typically used most of my chakra to form a body for me and it just got used to forming my body when not in use. The reason why I used my chakra to create my body is because I didn't have a physical body, and I used so much of it for that purpose because nothing not even I can control that much power. Now as to why you have no control over yourself after drawing upon enough of my chakra is because it calls all your hatred to the surface and cause your own destructive impulses to take control of your actions. Now did you get all that or did you still have questions human?"
"Uhhh first of all why does it causes my uhhh... destructive impulses to take control, second of all why can't I suppress them, third why are you actually explaining this with a minimal numbers of insults and threats, and finally could you maybe repeat it all again?" Naruto sheepishly asked the massive nine-tailed fox imprisoned before him.
"In order the answers are because I'm the embodiment of hatred and destruction thus my chakra is the essence of that, because you're a weak human, because I don't want to listen to your whining and complaining till you regain consciousness, and no."
"Umm well when do you think I'm gonna wake up?"
"Right after I give you a parting gift and tell you how to get away from those mortals that believe they can use my power for their own ends."
"What gift? GAHHH." Naruto screamed in pain as the demon's chakra wreathed his body in a blood red haze. When the haze cleared Naruto looked the same as before except for a tattoo of a tailless fox on his right hand. When he recovered from the pain Naruto quickly noticed the mark, coincidentally on the only hand he had remaining on his corporeal body. "What the hell did you do to me kitsune-teme!"
"That would be my gift to you. It is my mark aside from the fact that now if you ever meet any demons that are still free in your world they will run away from you in terror of that mark, and it is what will allow you to kill all the members of Akatsuki, recover from all the injuries you have, and recover your chakra all in one fell swoop."
"Cool! Ano... but how do I use it?"
"I was getting to that human. To use it you simply have to channel your chakra into it, all of your chakra."
"What! That'll kill me baka-fox!"
"You doubt the great and mighty Kyuubi-no-Kitsune?! Impudent fool why would I give you something that you have to kill yourself to use? After all I can't let you die until I can get out of here to kill you myself. Now wake up and kill those who oppose us like the pathetic insects they are!"
Regaining consciousness in the real world once more Naruto immediately noticed the presence of all the surviving Akatsuki members he was aware of as well as two he hadn't known of. 'Hmm... lets see there Itachi and Kisame. Huh they feel like they're at full strength again. Guess I was out for awhile. Those two would be Tobi and Zetsu which means the two unfamiliar ones are the leader of Akatsuki and the second most powerful member? Crap no time to think about that I can feel them trying to draw out Kyuubi, would've expected it to hurt more, so I've gotta see if I can move or use that tattoo of the fox's.'
As Naruto struggled to move his burned body the survivors of Akatsuki looked on with surprise and a small amount of fear. After all the charred man laying before them should have been on the edge of death hopefully weakening the bijuu within him. If he was conscious and well then the bijuu might be at or near its full power, thus making the Genryuu Kyuu Fuujin an incredible risky venture with only six people. 'We've only been at this for two days, yet he is already recovered enough to move. If he continues to recover at this pace we won't be able to finish before the kyuubi breaks free.' "Kisame pin him in place with Samehada."
"Hai Leader-sama" 'If this messes up the sealing I better not get blamed for it.' Kisame threw Samehada at Naruto catching him in the left shoulder and pinning him to the ground while draining his chakra.
Naruto grunted in pain but continued trying to move his right arm. "Hey you Akatsuki bastards I got a little gift for you from the fox." Naruto channeled all his chakra into the tattoo on his raised right arm and said, "Feel the power of the Kyuubi-no-Kitsune and despair mortals!" Naruto's hand glowed blood red as if it was full of Kyuubi's chakra as the fox tattoo roared and sprouted nine tails. Tendrils of chakra flowed from the tattoo to all of the members of Akatsuki like tails and plunged into their hearts with one also engulfing Samehada. As their chakra was drained into the tattoo they collapsed one by one into shriveled husks that were once human beings. Samehada turned into dust as all the chakra it had eaten and even the chakra the comprised the living sword itself was drawn into the demonic marking. After consuming the Akatsuki members and the blade the tattoo pulsed with energy, some it released into Naruto to replenish his nearly depleted stores, some went to fixing all the wounds inflicted upon him, and some simply vanished yet there was still a large excess of chakra which was released from the mark in a massive blast of pure destructive energies. This wave of destruction removed from existence all remaining traces of the Akatsuki including the king of hell statue which contained 7 of the nine bijuu. Naruto gazed in awe at the destruction, where he had been in a cave surrounded by Akatsuki in front of a statue he was now in a debris field under the open sky surrounded by seven bijuu. Noticing the towering demon lords surrounding him Naruto said the first thing that came to mind, "Kuso, this can't possible end well."
"You! You're the gaki that woke my container up last time I got free! I still need to kill you for that!" Inhaling a massive amount of air Shukaku then pounded on his chest to release a Fuuton : Renkuudan at the unfortunate mortal amidst the demon lords.
Swatting the projectile aside before it can hit Naruto the Nibi states, "Shukaku why do you seem to be getting dumber every time we meet, even I can tell that this human contains Kyuubi-sama within him."
"So? Why can't I kill him? I would think Kyuubi would want us to free him."
"Kyuubi-sama was sealed by Shinigami, thus killing his container would most likely kill him as well. Besides the human freed us from that damn statue we could at least let him live because of that."
"Bah you and you soft spot for humans. You just don't want to kill him cause he's human, don't you ya damn cat."
"Do you want to die Shukaku? Or has being imprisoned for so long simply made you forgetful? You have never been able to beat me in a fight and you have only gotten weaker with your long imprisonment."
"HEY WHY DON'T YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP AND LET ME SPEAK!" Getting upset with the demons arguing Naruto calls on two tails worth of Kyuubi's chakra. Seeing that the gathered bijuu have quieted down Naruto begins to repeat what Kyuubi is telling him to say. "Disgraces to the title of demon lord listen and listen well cause I have no intentions of repeating myself and I would rather not kill you all just yet. Now I had no intention of letting you out of that statue since you all quite frankly disgust me what with letting yourselves be captured by humans and all. However the fact remains that I did free you which means you all owe me a favor. I don't have any particular need of a favor from any of you just yet, but I do expect all of you to agree with it no matter what when I call on you to collect that favor. Now like I said before I can't particularly stand any one of your presences let alone all of you at once so go back to doing whatever the hell it was you did while free and try not to get captured again cause I don't wanna have to free you to call in my favor." With the bijuu threatening and complaining to Naruto he decided to up the ante and call out more tails until he was displaying more power than all but two of the gathered bijuu. Upon seeing that the human could call up as much or as little of kyuubi's power as he wanted they quieted down to mere grumbling and began leaving to where ever it is that bijuu spend most of their time. 'Well that went better than expected. Now what the hell is up with this tattoo, when I first saw it the fox had no tails now it has nine like kyuubi's and they go up to my shoulder.' After thinking about what it could mean Naruto decided just to ask the fox. After all it wasn't like he knew where he was or which way to go to find a town.
"Back already huh? Guess I must be growing on you if you want to visit me this much oh great jailer-sama."
"I would have thought that the great Kyuubi-no-Kitsune was above petty sarcasm. Guess not eh fox-teme?" Smirking at the giant fox that was slowly growing more enraged by the second before him Naruto suddenly grew serious and stared into the burning red orbs that the fox had for eyes. "Why is your mark spreading Kyuubi? And no lying or withholding information this time. Tell me everything there is to know about this mark or I swear I will find some way to make your imprisonment even worse, and if you ever get free I will make sure to hunt you down and imprison you once more if I can't kill you."
"You serious about this aren't you? Fine I'll tell you about it. However I expect you to not try getting out of the contract that mark represents."
"What contract?"
"That mark symbolizes that you agree to be my servant until I die. Being my servant comes with the following responsibilities: you must do everything you can to protect my life, you must follow all orders I give you unless following them will result in you breaking the contract, you are able to act with my full authority in all matters, you are able to call one my kin for aide when necessary, you are my avatar in my absence, and you must give a sacrifice to me whenever possible. In addition to symbolizing your agreement to this contract the mark also acts as a medium through which you give your sacrifices of chakra and souls to me. The mark also gives a portion of the chakra to you and uses portions of the souls to heal you. The mark itself also consumes some of the sacrifice and releases any of it that I don't want and you can't use as a wave of destructive energy that makes any jutsu you humans have look as pathetic as it really is. Got all that?"
"Mostly, but a few parts still bother me. For one what are the tails coming from the mark for and for another how am I suppose to protect your life when simply getting old is endangering your life since you die when I do?"
"Glad you asked servant. Now the tails represent the efficiency of the transfer of energy from the mark to you and me. Normally one tail would go to each of the eight gates and the ninth tail would go around your arm and back to the mark, but since I'm sealed in you that ninth tail will go to my seal. Once the tails reach their destinations the mark will no longer release a destructive pulse after it absorbs chakra and souls, in addition you will then be able to control who it affects when used. Until then however the mark will drain anything in range."
"So using it when people I don't want to die are present would be a bad idea until the tails stop growing?"
"Yeah it would probably be a bad idea. Now as to how you are going to follow that stipulation of the contract is easy, the mark will turn you into a demon as the tails progress. Once they reach their destination you become a full-blooded demon. Not quite sure what type of demon you will be since that's based on the individual bearer of the mark not on me."
"Nani?! I'm gonna turn into a demon! Damn you kitsune-teme now I'm gonna get executed when I get back to Konoha." Naruto began ranting indistinctly in outrage at the news of his fate until kyuubi had enough.
"SHUT UP! Its not likely you're gonna turn into a fox so they probably won't mistake you for me, and anyways you're a ninja so just hide any demonic traits from your foes, which in this case will be everyone. Become unnoticable and sneaky like the ninja you claim to be and until you tell them no one should realise you're a demon."
"Well I guess that kinda makes sense..." Sitting down and thinking about the situation Naruto realises there doesn't seem to be too much of a downside to the deal which for the fox is rather unusual. "Hey Kyuubi what do you get out of all this?"
"I get to avoid dying, a respectable container, and fed. What more could I want?"
"Freedom?"
"Freedom from this seal means death, of the two options I for one would prefer life no matter that it will be spent stuck inside you. Now wake up some of your associates are approaching."
