Tell me if it sucks.

A blond man checked himself in the mirror, still adjusting to its reflection. He wore black combat boots, and black baggy shinobi pants that tucked into steel shin guards. A navy blue shirt adorned his chest. He also wore a high collared dark orange trench coat that went down to his ankles. On the bottom of that cloak were black flames licking the bottom. A black bandanna over a silk mask covered the lower half of his face. His eyes were hidden behind black leather goggles with shiny reflective lens.
It was odd. He knew he was staring at himself, but it didn't feel like it. Almost like looking into the water and another person looking back. Wavy, distorted, almost surreal. He gazed into the mirror, but the Yondamie stared back.
The Sandaime walked forward, "Do they fit Naruto?"
He sighed, "Perfectly, I couldn't ask for better clothes." Naruto looked his hands. The wounds he gave himself earlier have already healed.
"Then why do you sound so depressed?" Sarutobi questioned.
"This is a lot to get used to. I mean, did you ever wake up a different person?"

Naruto opened his eyes to a brand new day. He sat up and stretched and the buttons on his shirt shot off. That didn't happen on a daily basis. He hopped out of bed and his pants split in half on the outside of his pant legs. Naruto's head slowly angled down, foreign to the ripping noise. He looked at his body. It was more muscular and toned, other than his usual string bean physique. He flexed his new muscles and all of the strained threads snapped. Naruto quickly wrapped himself in a bed sheet to retain some modesty.
Naruto dashed to his bathroom to see what the hell was going on. He couldn't believe his refection. Sideburns that reached his shoulders, and shaggy, lengthy golden locks. His eyes narrowed and became a darker shade of blue, and he now noticed his once orb pupils were traded for slits. His trademark whiskers were now longer, darker, and wider. His eye teeth were replaced with canines. His tongue lolled out of his mouth, easily touching the bottom of his chin.
He was the demonic version of the Yondamie Hokage!
"What the hell happened to me?" Naruto exclaimed, still awestruck at his new appearance. He noticed his arms were a little longer, and rolled easier in the sockets. He fell to all fours. The position seemed natural, more so than his usual two legged stance.
"I changed you gaki." Boomed a wise, deep bass voice. Naruto looked for the unknown voice, but there was no intruder to be seen, "I'm inside you navel boy!"
Naruto put his hands to his stomach, balancing easily on three appendages, "Why are you inside me? Shouldn't organs be there?"
The beast within Naruto dragged a paw across his face, "No you twit! I am sealed inside of you! I am the Kitsune no Kyuubi! I am the one and only to lay waste to Kohona! Are you in need of yet another hint?"
His nails dug into his cheap wooden flooring. He snarled and growled in anger. His eyes flared crimson. "THOSE IGNORANT BASTARDS!" He stopped and took a deep breath. He closed his eyed and counted to ten. Iruka-sensei did this when he was mad or after Naruto pulled another prank. Naruto opened his eyes, them having their normal color. "You mean to tell me I lived a shitty life for the village's grudge to you?"
"Yep," Kyuubi deadpanned, sharpening his claws.
Naruto growled through his teeth, "Damn it! Why didn't oyaji do something about it?!" Naruto sat on his haunches in a gargoyle statue like position.
"Humans… What a pitiful, sad little race. I would have killed them if your father didn't seal me into you." Kyuubi added, blowing the dust from its claws.
With that statement Naruto saw the big picture. He was too pissed to connect the dots earlier. Kyuubi wasn't dead. He was sealed within his stomach by his father. No one knew he was the offspring of the Yondaime.
"Damn, it's like some sorta lame conspiracy…" Naruto said, dazed from his thoughts.
"How the hell do you know that word? You were eight last night!" Kyuubi questioned.
"Yes, please explain that to me… Why am I not eight?" Naruto asked, arms folded, standing on the balls of his feet with his knees bent. Balancing was second nature now. That position is hard to obtain from the get-go.
"You were getting beaten on a day to day basis. I grew tired of healing your wounds just to watch them reopen again. So, I did something about it. Your reflection is only proof." Kyuubi explained.
"Yes but how?" Naruto pressed.
"I forced your cells to a hyper-overdrive. I made them replicate themselves at a ridiculous pace to age you. You body is physically twenty or so, you mind… not so much."
"Damn… I guess I better see oyaji then, he might wanna know about this," Naruto thought aloud. He twitched, "AND BEAT HIS WRINKLED ASS!!"

The Sandaime Hokage was signing another document. He looked at his 'IN' pile. His 'OUT' was dwarfed by at least a meter. 'Something, ANYTHING, wipe this mountain of papers off my desk!'
Just then, one of the double doors leading to his office was kicked down forcefully. It flew through the air, cleaving his desk in half, and going through one of the windows behind him. The flying door also took the papers with them, making a shower of wood, paper, and shattered glass for the people below.
'Thank you Kami…'
"OYAJI! WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU DO SOMETHING!?" Naruto roared, stomping into the office. The wood whined as Naruto's foot crashed atop of it.
Sarutobi looked up to see the Yondaime clad in a bed sheet, positioned into a robe. By the looks of things and his entrance, 'Minato' was pissed. He blinked as the Yondaime kicked the other half of the desk through another window. A finger was pointed in his face. The robes parted slightly, revealing the Shiki Funin.
"Na-" Sarutobi began. "YOU'VE GOT FIVE SECONDS TO TELL ME WHY YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT MY LIVING HELL CALLED A LIFE!!" Interrupted Naruto.
Sarutobi started sweating. He swallowed the lead pill lodged in his throat. "N-Naruto, it will take a lot longer than five seconds to explain!" Sarutobi made out, waving his hands in front of him dismissively.
Naruto sat in one of the chairs provided for a guest. "Fine," He began, "Just tell me."
The Sandaime breathed easier knowing Naruto was calm. "It was the only thing that would stop Kyuubi. Everything else we tried failed. Minato insisted his son was the one to be used for the sealing. After the battle, the council wanted you dead. I pulled some strings to get you in the orphanage, but none would adopt you. I tried, but the council wouldn't allow it. When you were five, the orphanage kicked you out. I pulled more strings and got you an apartment. That is all the council would allow. They said, "We do not show favor to any one civilian!" That was a load of bull and I knew it. The clan leaders voted in your favor, but they are not the majority. I did all I could Naruto… I'm sorry."
Naruto had a white knuckle grip, his claws digging into his palms. Blood flowed freely from the pricks. "So you're telling me that some dumbass COUNCIL made my life shit?!"
Sarutobi nodded. "Well fuck me," Naruto cursed. He looked down at his bed sheet robe, "Could I get some clothes? All of mine obviously don't fit."
The withered kage nodded as he fetched Naruto some clothing.

Naruto caught Sarutobi walking away in the mirror.
"Oyaji! Where are you going?" Naruto called to Sarutobi.
"I'll be back in a minute! I have something else I need to give you!" Sandamie responded.
Naruto sighed, "Ne, Kyu, what do we do now?"
"Don't talk out loud, people are going to think you are some sort of psycho. I can hear thoughts that you want me to hear."
'Only the thoughts I want you to hear?' Naruto asked, unsure of himself.
"Yeah… only those thoughts…" The fox's eyes shifted left and right, "Ahem, to answer your previous question. We train. We have to see what the Hokage brings us first. It could aid us."
'What do me mean, 'us?'' Naruto questioned.
"Oh? In turn for your recent changes, I want out of this cage. I know, I know, I'll be good and only cause chaos, no mayhem." Kyuubi attempted to defend himself.
'Fine...' Kyuubi cheered inside, 'But under restrictions I place of course…' With that statement, the demon's mood dampened quickly.
"FUCK!"
"Oh Naruto, I'm back." Sarutobi brought Naruto out of his internal conflict. He was holding a scroll, a really, really big scroll. It was five feet long, and almost a foot thick. Naruto's eyes widened at the parchment, if it could be called that.
"…What the hell is that?" Naruto asked, eyes the size of plates behind his ebony goggles.
"This is you father's Technique Scroll. It has all of his jutsus and training exercises. This will be a major asset to your training. As you know, you are very behind. You have a lot of catching up to do. You may use my private training fields and have a room in my house. I will also provide you food and any equipment you may need. When all of this is done, will you consider joining my ranks as a shinobi?"
Naruto resisted the urge to say 'Fuck Yeah!' He thought on it, "Does that mean I get all the ramen I can eat?"
Sarutobi rubbed the scruff on his chin, "Only on Saturday, you need a balanced diet during the week days when you train."
"Acceptable… There is another catch though," the Sandaime gestured for him to continue, "Kyuubi wants out of his cage. WAIT!" he stopped Sarutobi from protesting, "I'll put some sort of seal to limit how much power he has, what he can do, or something. He did this now I gotta repay him." 'Even if it wasn't voluntarily…'
Sarutobi wasn't too flattered about the idea of Kyuubi running around. He bit his thumbnail, "Fine, but only ten bowls of ramen every Saturday then."
"…DAMN IT!"
