'How? How did they defeat me? I was superior to them in every way! So how did they beat me?'
These were the thoughts that ran through Malefor's mind as his spirit drifted in the void that served as its prison. Suddenly, he saw a light! As he desperately winged his way toward it, images flashed through his mind, images of the world he was entering.
It was inhabited by ape like creatures called humans. Some humans, called shinobi, could tap into their spirit energy and perform incredible feats, such as controlling the elements, or creating illusions that seemed entirely real.
As he entered into this new world, he sensed others like himself, beings of enormous power. The word demon came to mind, and his newly gained worldly wisdom confirmed this.
"Well," he said "this should be interesting."
[two hundred years later]
As I looked up at the Hokage monument, I gave silent thanks to the fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, for sealing the dragon demon within me five years ago. The oni had calmed down rather quickly, and now provided me with an accelerated rate of healing, enhanced strength and speed, and the ability to manipulate the various dragon elements!
Of course, no one else knew about the demon. I had been found in rubble of my family's home, along with several scrolls containing family histories and artifacts.
As I walked down the street, I suddenly heard the sound of screams in an alley! As I looked in to investigate, I saw several villagers beating a classmate of mine by the name of Uzumaki Naruto! He looked pretty badly hurt, and was crying loudly! I ran up behind one of the citizens and slammed my fist into the base of the man's spine.
There was a nerve cluster there that, if triggered, could paralyze a person for about a minute. By the time the scum had realized what was happening, I had already beat the living shit out of the entire group, including a jounin shinobi who had been helping them!
As they ran from me, I turned to Naruto. My demon instantly recognized the younger boy as a jinchuuriki, a demon host like myself. I knelt down and touched Naruto's forehead, initiating a link between the two of us.
Me and my friend found ourselves in what appeared to be a giant sewer with a massive cage built into one wall. The cage's key hole was covered by a piece of paper with the kanji for seal written on it. Inside the cage was the Kyuubi in fox form.
"Kyuubi-Sama." I said, bowing deeply before the nine tailed gueen of yokai.
"Who are you?" she asked. My friend looked hurt.
"You…don't remember me, my Queen?" He asked.
"Malefor? You mean the fourth sealed you too? But you were trying to help him!"
"He saved me." Malefor explained, "I was fatally wounded by the one who was controlling you, so he sealed me inside of Sky here to let me heal. We've become close friends. Why haven't you done the same with Naruto?"
"I have tried, but he can't hear me, he's too busy trying to survive to pay attention to some little voice in the back of his head."
"I'll take care of that." I said. When she looked at me with a quizzical expression, I elaborated.
"I'm the last of my clan. I can provide for him. And I'll make anyone who harms him pay!"
"You would really do that?"
"Of course! We jinchuriki have to stick together, after all! I'll make sure that Naruto's dream of becoming Hokage comes true!"
