Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto!
This is just something I wrote for fun, asking myself "what if?"
History in the Making
"Shikako! Keep up, would you?!"
A girl around seven years old put her hands behind her head and sighed. "Coming, Mai-sensei," she called and then muttered under her breath, "How troublesome."
She didn't run, instead she dragged her feet along the hallway behind the rest of her class. Her instructor stood between her and the rest of the children, not wanting the lazy girl to get separated from the class. She stared blankly at all the exhibits which were all under shatterproof glass, only to stop in front of one. She pointed to it and called, "Mai-sensei, what's this?"
The teacher paused and went back for her most unmotivated student. "What could you possibly be interested in?"
The young girl pointed at the display case in front of her. "I've never seen a shinobi tool like this before. What's it do?"
"This? It's not a shinobi tool."
"Then what is it? If it wasn't a shinobi tool, it wouldn't be in this section."
"Hmmm…it says here it was used in the Final Great Shinobi War, but beyond that, nothing, not even what its purpose was."
What Shikako was pointing at was a black metal collar set with glistening rubies, matching bracelets with black chains connecting them, along with another chain trailing from the back of the collar. A huge ruby dangled from a fine black chain that seemed like a silly adornment compared to the rest.
What really was odd was the foreboding chakra lingering around it, although not outside the glass.
Shikako tilted her head to the side and scratched her neck. "It looks more like a capturing device than a tool. Why does it have rubies set into it? That's weird."
"You're asking a lot of questions I can't answer, Shikako. Let's just go, the rest of the class is waiting in the next room."
As they turned to go, a dark voice growled, "Uzumaki…I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!"
Like snapping jaws of a wild animal, Shikako's neck and wrists were seized by the shackles, the foreign chakra flowing through her body, which made her scream in pain as she collapsed to the ground.
"SHIKAKO!" the teacher cried, running to her student, only to be repelled. "A barrier…I have to get the ANBU down here right away!"
The Kyudaime Hokage watched as many things were tried to free the young girl from the cursed object. He grimaced as he noticed the changes which had overcome her small frame. She now had fox ears growing from the sides of her head, claws from her fingers and toes, fangs in her mouth, and she was in the process of growing nine tails from her backside.
"Any progress, Captain?" he softly queried, as to not frighten the girl further.
"No, the only thing we even found out was that whoever tries to take hold of the longest chain, it's instant death."
"Any guesses what she could be turning into?"
"From the history we were able to scrounge up, she seems to be transforming into the Kyubi."
"The Kyubi…but it was permanently sealed generations ago!"
"From what Mai-san was able to piece together, a voice called Shikako-chan 'Uzumaki' before it seized her."
"Uzumaki? That's impossible, she's part of the Nara Clan!"
"The main line of the Uzumaki Clan must've crossed with the Nara Clan in the past. Mai-san did say she has a large chakra capacity for one of the Nara Clan's main bloodline."
"Now isn't the time to be talking about bloodlines! One of our potential kunoichi is being transformed into a monster!"
"If we can't get that off her, it will be too late."
Red fur like peach fuzz grew from her skin, her pupils lengthening to slits as they turned crimson. She shrieked as a huge dark hole formed in the floor and she dropped into it.
"Now you will see what being imprisoned is all about!"
