Prologue:True Power Released

"Five Element Seal!"

Pain. That's all Naruto felt as he fell unconscious. They had just dealt with a Hidden Rain ninja when a gust of wind separated them. After dealing with a massive snake, He found his teammates cowering from the killing intent of a Hidden Grass ninja. Now Naruto wasn't stupid, no matter how much one would say otherwise. He knew the Grass nin was just toying with them. He stopped the ninja from doing some weird jutsu that extended his neck. That's when everything went downhill. Rather than stay and help him, his teammates left him while he was fighting.

The Grass ninja, who was Orochimaru in disguise, watched as Naruto fell to the forest floor. The boy had held his own for several minutes against him, no small feat for a Genin, and The child had caught him off gaurd several times. He had always had an eye for talent, and Naruto's unpredictability and usage of Shadow Clones showed him that the boy was definitely talented. Writing a message on a scroll, he left to find the boy's teammates. After all, he had an Uchiha to mark. If he had stayed longer he would have noticed Naruto's hair change color.

In Naruto's Mindscape

Naruto woke up and realized immediately that he was not in the forest. "Great. First my team abandons me, and now I'm unconscious in a forest full of flesh-eating plants." Naruto grumbled as he walk down the halls of his mindscape. As he turned a corner he paled. There was a gate clearly designed to lock something away. The only problem was, the bars were slowly disappearing.

"Seams you've realized the problem." a voice spoke from within the cage. "Kyuubi," Naruto said worried,"What's happening?" The fox looked at Naruto, "To understand what is going on, you must first understand my origins. Do not interrupt me once I start." Naruto eyed the fox warily, but nodded. The fox started to glow a bright red and shrink. After a minute, the glow died down, and Naruto froze. Before him was no longer a demon fox, but a man. He was 5'10'' with spiky crimson hair that stopped at his lower back. His eyes were a dark purple. He wore a black form-fitting, long-sleeved shirt and black pants with red stripes on the sides. White cloth was wrapped around his right leg in a spiral pattern. He had an odd sword strapped to his side. The blade was three feet long and had a odd circular shape at the base that bent inwards at the hilt. It had a glowing orange streak that outlined the edge.(A/N:Exalted Falchion from Fire Emblem Awakening.I do not own Fire Emblem.) What had caused Naruto to freeze was the three whisker-like markings on his face. Markings unique to himself.

"N-no way." Naruto stuttered. "Yes kit, I am you. More specifically, half of you." the Kyuubi said. "H-how?" Naruto asked with wide eyes. "When you were born, your chakra was so strong, your subconscious split it in two. You retained your 'Yang' or 'dark' chakra, while your 'Yin' or 'Light' chakra became me. However, being just chakra without a mind, I ended up rampaging in the village. Our father, Minato Namikaze, realized this and sealed me inside your mindscape. The connection to your subconscious gave me a consciousness of my own. The seal was designed to eventually merge us back together at the age of 16. That grass ninja's jutsu damaged the seal, resulting in us merging now." Kyuubi explained.

"So in summary, you and I are halves of each other and merging because our dad didn't take a well known sealing jutsu into account."

"Yep"

"What's going to change about me?"

"You will be physically identical to me. Mentally, you will be colder, less forgiving, less naive, more brutal in combat, and harsher in your opinion of others."

"Great. I'm going to be the exact opposite of myself. Well, lets go find my teammates. They need an ass kicking, big time."

As the cage finally vanished, Naruto and Kyuubi started glowing.

Back in the Forest of Death...

Naruto found himself sitting on a tree branch. He stood up and looked himself over. He was indeed identical to his other half in appearance. He even had the sword. Noticing the scroll laying next to him, he checked it for traps. Finding none he opened it.

Naruto Uzumaki

My name is Orochimaru. I was impressed you managed to last as long as you did. I look forward to seeing how you grow.

Orochimaru

Realizing that Orochimaru did not stick around to notice the changes, he sped off to find his team.
