Hmm (sniff sniff gag) … what happened? … Why do I suddenly feel as though I just … Oh shit. He opened his eyes quickly, and knew that he had caused mass amounts of mayhem and destruction. With a start, he realized he was having a hard time recalling exactly what had happened before he passed out, but he knew he felt odd …he looked down at his body and noticed why he felt… 'Odd'. He was covered in blood, and it was filling his nostrils with a gut wrenching stench. His limbs looked long and out of proportion, and they looked as to be able to bend at strange angles. Even as his head began to clear, he couldn't recall anything that had happened last night, much like the girls Ero Sennin had always brought home with him. That aside, he felt refreshed, as though he had been reborn and completely remade into a new being, he had no idea how true that was. Suddenly he felt as though he was plunged into a great furnace, as everything began to burn and hurt, he heard a great, and seemingly infinite, voice. "Humph." It huffed, "So you finally felt like waking up huh kit. About damned time," It snarled, "I was getting tired of keeping you alive, damn ungrateful brat." Naruto was confused now, not only because the fox's voice actually held a trace of concern for him, but it also sounded definitely feminine. "Hey kid, didn't you ever learn it's not polite to ignore someone when they've been keeping you alive?" At this point Naruto was still confused. First off, he was in immense amounts of pain, but he didn't appear to be actually injured. Second, the great and mighty demon fox actually sounded offended. Worst yet he was, for a reason unbeknownst to him, unable to form words.
Finally, after a while of trying to reply the fox seemed to do something which suddenly made it incredibly easier to speak. "Hey bastard fox what happened?!" He yelled hoarsely with his newly repaired vocal cords. Without pause, he continued, just asking things as they came to mind. "Can you tell me why I am sitting in the midst of a field of senseless slaughter, or why my body has been somehow altered in all of this, why my vocabulary has made an exponential leap along with all my senses, and where are we? Actually I don't remember anything that happened recently. What happened to me?"
At this point he frowned in concentration to actually ponder about how far back he could remember and found that all of his memories seemed to have blurred. He was unable to even tell what had happed last, but the last thing that he definitely remembered was a soft and caring voice calling out to him, telling him that no matter what happened he would survive this. He then noticed that the fox was talking and started again as he saw that there was a physical manifestation of the fox talking now. "…not to call me that I can't believe that after all I've done for you, you still call me such a-" "Look I'm sorry then what can I call you so that you won't be offended, and also could you please answer my questions" the fox huffed and transformed into what Naruto could honestly describe as the most interesting thing in his life. She, for it was definitely a she, could have passed for some sort of goddess. She had a simple weave in her hair, which went all the way down to her waist. She had ample curves, but not to the point of ridiculousness. But most of all it was the face that sold it. She had a perfect face that most could die for, and framed by her hair with a sunset behind her it looked as though she had a halo made of pure crimson light. Suddenly he felt all of the pain and burning sensations stop. "Fine then" she said with a bit of a smirk "you can call me 'Akako' and as to your questions, why do you think all of this happened, we were going to Ichiraku's, and you were ambushed inside of your pitiful village of yours. They seemed to have gotten it through their heads that you were to blame in one or more of the problems of their regretfully, but soon fixed, long lives. You of course didn't want any trouble, so you had them chase you out of the village but, seeing as you are becoming rather predictable, they had a secondary ambush set up outside and, low and behold, they even had a few jounin on their side. Now of course you were surrounded, and outnumbered, as well as out classed. You also left the only place that help would probably come, so all in all you made a very bone-headed decision. Soon enough, you realized your foolishness and tried to run some more; being the caring type that you are you of course didn't want to hurt any of the villagers." She said her voice dripping with sarcasm. "And so a chase of relative ease ensued, I, of course, say relative ease because I am talking about the ninja that laughed as they kept up with you, not because of the civilians that of course soon fell behind. Regretfully, but inevitably they caught up, again this meant that they just got bored of chasing you and using you as target practice.
As they caught up; though, you were getting desperate…" She said with a smirk, pausing to add dramatic effect. "…desperate enough to make a deal with a demon, that of course being me." Naruto who has been listening this entire time, was getting impatient as well as fed up with how the fox was making all sorts of snide comments to sneakily assault the level of his intelligence, though he had to admit that had she been talking to him like that before he wouldn't have caught it interrupted much to the fox's displeasure for she was quite enjoying her monologue. "Basta- I mean Akako I doubt severally that I would become desperate enough to make a deal with you. The fox smiled quite evilly. "Ah but Naruto you did and not only that you have that motto of yours that you never go back on your word…" Her smile widened. "…or are you going to make a liar out of yourself? Any way do you want to know the answers to your question or do you just want to argue. Naruto partially silenced acknowledged that he did want her to continue with a nod. "Anyway where was I? Ah yes… you made a deal with me. That being said, you asked me to make you strong enough to protect the things that you care about which, I assume you meant yourself in that particular situation, but as I did not really mind the request, and it gave me something to do, I asked what you would be willing to give up. You of course said you would give anything at all to ensure that your important people are protected. She laughed a bit as his expression changed from a fairly neutral to one of dread at the prospect that he had given something very important away, deciding that she should give the kid a break she stopped laughing. Kid don't worry too much though I'm a demon I still a kind one, well kind of, so all I asked was to have you owe me one of any favor I ask in the future. Anyway, I gave you immense power so that you would be able to survive, but I had neglected to consider that an immense infusion of my chakras through your body would have a severe consequences… well anyway, I'll get to that later… soooo, as I was saying I flared all my chakra through your system to see what would happen seeing as I figured you wouldn't die, but… um, well you almost did." She said looking a bit sheepish. "But as an added bonus, you got rid of them all and well-" "Wait!" Naruto interrupted "wait, wait, wait… you almost killed me by accident, what is that! What the hell… and you have the nerve to insult my intelligence all this time? None-the-less by you almost killing me, you almost killed yourself, and even worse… Naruto trailed off not having the words to express how upset he was "Well as I said I figured that you wouldn't die and I even decided that you don't owe me anything for this seeing as well, hehe, I did kind of fundamentally change you in the process of making you stronger. Hehe, well I also feel as though I should apologize. So as an apology, I will allow you to ask any one favor of me free of charge" She said bowing slightly. Naruto who calmed down a bit, enough to recognize how difficult it was for the demon to apologize, so he decided that he would try to remain civil with the Fox. "Fine, fine I accept your apology, but that still leaves me with some questions such as… Where are we? As this is nowhere near Konoha as far as I can tell and I still feel weird. During his questions the fox started to become troubled mainly, because she was not at all sure that Naruto would appreciate her help as soon as she told him, but she still felt bad for killing him so she felt she should at least answer some simple questions."Ok Naruto I need you to be calm and understanding though out this explanation and when I finish I'll let you rant and rave at me as much as you feel that you should. Naruto not liking how she segued from his questions nodded his assent that he would do as she said. "Well you see there was a problem if you didn't guess already. When I flashed my chakra though your system, it kind of how to say this gently … shut you down so that I was forced to take control of your body. Not only that but it also had seemed to um, well that is to say, alert every person in Konoha that there was a certain nine tailed beauty nearby, and they felt they would have to have a surprise encounter… well as far as things went I escaped without killing any of them or even injuring them which I figure you would be happy about but as things are, we are far out of fire country and try as I might I couldn't actually seem to get your mind to start up again… now as you can imagine I had some ideas about what to do in the case you didn't wake up but well I figure we both don't want that" Naruto wondered what she meant about that but let her continue as he had promised he would "So that kind of left me stuck, and at a loss of what to do, and well I was still having trouble shutting down the demonic chakra flowing into you from me at this point which worried me quite a bit, now as I'm sure you're wondering why I was having trouble I'll tell you. I couldn't control my power for one because there's a seal to prevent your body from doing such things and as I was directly in control of your body I had to slowly shut off the chakra flow. Naruto almost protested again as he was about to say that he had always been able to shut it off all at once was glared at by the fox again for silence before he even started. He made a mental note to ask how she did that. "Anyway, as I was saying since I was not used to controlling your body I had a difficult time maintaining control of both it and chakra output as well as run away from Anbu as well as the Hokage while your body was shifting form, as well as since you were out I felt all the pain for you" she sighed. "So give me a break would you Naruto now officially felt guilty for getting on her case about all that until he registered that she had just said that his body was shifting while she ran away and she had his full attention. "Well in any event we got away and as you can see, you are no longer in pain from the immense amounts of power that you've gained in a very short amount of time…" she sighed again. She didn't know how to tell him that his body now looked almost nothing like he had before. Suddenly she was struck by inspiration of how to tell him. Naruto started as she grabbed him by the hand and led him off. "Hey, Akako, where are we going?" Calling over her shoulder as she pulled him "Well instead of just telling you how you changed I'll just show you at the pond I smell nearby-" suddenly both had noticed that they were falling from a nice little cliff that they had just so happened to walked off , before they really started falling Naruto had just enough time to glare at kyuubi showing her that he thought this was all obviously her fault As the pair found their way to shore a short distance away Naruto looked at the reflection of himself mainly in order to avoid staring at Akako as she was currently dripping wet in a white shirt and had no undergarments on and if tight black leather pants had seemed like a good idea to he before, she had to be regretting it now.
Naruto was astounded at what he saw in his reflection. It showed blood red hair along with a fearsome visage of his face, which was more for lack of a better word; more mature … his eyes had a strange red tint to his normal piercing blue. His jaw was more pronounced and with some experimentation, he found that his jaw could move as though it was out of socket. However besides that his jaw looked normal besides the extended canines of course. Despite all of this his face was still quite striking. As his gaze kept going over his body he was in a state of disbelief. His body had grown and he was now an easy 198 centimeters tall and his muscle gained a lot of muscle mass as his shoulders were wider than he thought they would ever be. This was odd though because all of his muscles were sinewy lengthy ones that animals, seem to have. When he went to stretch his arm, he found that he could out his arm in from of his chest flat, and go all the way around his back while keeping his arm strait. This slightly freaked out Naruto for it seemed unnatural to be able to have such a free range of motion. He tried to stretch his neck as well and found a profound flexibility there as well. His neck could turn a little more than a complete 180 degrees. This freaked out Naruto even more because he had never even thought such things were possible. As he thought about these things, though, they did not seem to be down sides so he decided not to worry about it, but as he looked at himself he noticed that he still could look quite normal. Naruto sighed and the fox saw his acceptance of his new body so she figured that she could continue. "So Naruto how do you like the new you?" He sighed again and looked at her "You know Akako this might not be so bad …" He trailed off a bit as something finally occurred to him. "Um you know now that I think about it, how are you here able to do all of this? I mean like how did you get a physical body." She looked at him for a second then as if suddenly remembering herself. "Well, you see there is a … hmm how to word this well … well you see… you know when I flashed that chakra through you and had control of your body, in that time, I was able to do some jutsus and well, after we ran into this small mercenary band that attacked because they thought you were a demon, I saw that your body was fairly thrashed, as well as um, dying, so I decided it would be best if your body didn't have to run any more, or fight, so I did a quick summoning jutsu and since I happen to be the boss of the fox summoning contract, I just summoned myself. She said most of this without taking a breath and very quick so Naruto would not interrupt. So anyway, I found that when I was summoned I was having difficulty keeping you alive, so I kind of had a two front war. One killing all those that tried to kill you and stop you from dying. But as you can see it all turned out fine, so, there's no need to worry or anything, uh hehe. Naruto decided not to make a huge deal out of it seeing as he was alive and all and, the fox had seemed to make a lot of effort for him, that is until he thought about going back to Konoha… "Ne Akako um, what do you think would happen if I went to Konoha seeing as it probably looked as though I either fled the village, or had you take over me. Well you see Naruto I vote that we don't go back, but I suppose if you did that you would be accepted back roughly as you were before because as far as I can tell you didn't actually do anything that you couldn't justify and even though you probably didn't think about this before if you wanted you could go back in as someone completely different seeing as you look nothing like you used to. Actually that had not even crossed Naruto's mind, but it did seem within the realm of possibility, though he wouldn't like lying to everyone. Fine, lets head back then and see what happens… though it looks like I'll have to buy new cloths thanks to all of this seeing as now they barely keep me decent. The fox smiled at this though Naruto even with a slightly increased intelligence couldn't tell why. "Ok Naruto lets go then" she smirked slightly as she thought about all the villages she was going to go around on the way back to Konoha "Right ok ,lead the way, seeing as I have no idea where to go" Naruto said getting up to get ready to go. As she set a fast pace heading for Konoha, she didn't know that they were being spied on. This person was one of the Jounin that had been following his trail since Konoha. Former Anbu Kakashi set off after them thinking quietly about what to do about this. End (for now I suppose)
