Quite a few things happened between last Tuesday and now. Midterms, labs, and my cousin's grad ceremony. When I was attending the ceremony I realized i didn't know what her degree was or even what her faculty was. When it was announced I was like "WTF she's in the faculty of business/business school?" and then I thought "That makes sense since I never see her since I'm a science student and the buildings are basically on the opposite sides of campus." But enough about that.
This chapter is short since I'm still kinda planning things out but they will get longer later on. Also, updates will happen once maybe twice a week and will usually be updated on either Tues,Sat,or Sun.
Disclaimer: I don't Naruto or any other manga and pray that I don't for my drawing is absolute shit at best. I apologize if anything I have written looks like it is stolen and anything I write that looks like plagiarism is accidental.

"Kyuubi/Demon Speak"
Previously:
"How about we start with me controlling the brat's body?" His canines were prominent in his grin and his eyes were slit and crimson. This was Kyuubi.
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately became alert at that. Ready to attack or defend at a moment's notice against Naru….no, the Kyuubi. He knew for sure that this wasn't an act, not with the Kyuubi's chakra lightly surrounding his body. While Naruto may be able deceive others using his KI into thinking he is the Kyuubi, there was no way he should be able to turn his pupils from their usual blue to crimson red , elongate his canines, or change his nails into claws. Naruto MAY have been able to reproduce those changes using his chakra, despite how highly unlikely that might be, but there was no way he could reproduce the Kyuubi's chakra.
The old Hokage did not know what to do about Naruto or was it Kyuubi? What he did know was that he would start by suppressing the Kyuubi's chakra and then get to the bottom of this. All of this went through his mind in an instant and immediately he stood up ready to attack and restrain the on in front of him.
The Kyuubi flared some of its chakra while saying," Relax, I'm not here to fight you old man or else I would have kill you already. I believe I said I wanted to talk with you."
While Sarutobi did not trust its words, he decided to play along for now if only to get answers to the multitude of questions going through his mind. With that he sat back down in his chair but did not relax in the slightest in case the Kyuubi was lying to catch him off-guard and kill him.
"Well, not like I expected you to fully trust my words but good enough", stated the Kyuubi who noted the wariness in the old man.
The two sat staring at each other for some time, Hiruzen with a calculating gaze and Kyuubi with a disinterested look.
Finally, it was Hiruzen the ended the silence and asked," My first question is as you said, why are you in control?"
The Kyuubi could only grin at that and replied, "Simple, I have taken control of this body by going through the seal"
"But how, while I may not know everything about the seal, I do know that it was designed to limit your influence as much as possible. Even if you could, we would have realized what you were doing when we checked the seals for any problems."
"Again, it is quite simple. You are correct, this seal was designed to limit my influence over the brat as well as inform you of any attempts I made but I have had time to study the mechanisms of the seal ever since I was sealed into him.", the Kyuubi's grin widened as he explained just how he achieved what should have been detected right from the start. "The seal would warn you of my attempt but there are ways to go around it to avoid the warning and not create any anomalies in the seal."
"And just what are those ways?" Hiruzen asked.
"Two conditions must be met for this to occur. One: HE must willingly give me control."
At this Hiruzen could only look in shock at what he just heard. Not only did the Kyuubi have control but that Naruto gave him control willingly.
"What is the second condition?"
"The second condition is easy since he willingly gave me control. I must not use my chakra to negatively influence or control his mind after I take control and give back control whenever he requests it. In other words, after he gave me control I must not betray his trust and destroy his mind so I could fully take over and if he wants his body back then I give it."
"Wait so Naruto is still there? He can still regain control of his body?"
"He's in here, safe and sound, unlike out here" At this the old Hokage could only look away.
"As for regaining control, he's not interested or at least not yet anyways but he might later on. He's listening in on our conversation right now. So anything else you want to know?"
"I would like to speak to Naruto"
"Sorry but he doesn't want to, said something about you lying to him"
Hiruzen looked at the Kyuubi to see if he was just lying about him but, to the best of his abilities, he could not detect any lie from the Kyuubi.
"Fine, I will accept that for now. Now, how long have you been in control? You couldn't have been in control since the day he was born. So when did you first gain control?"
"Do you remember what happened eight years ago? When the brat first started the academy?"
The Hokage knew exactly what the Kyuubi meant by that. When Naruto was five years old, he was enrolled into the academy since he wanted to become a shinobi. People caught wind of this and when Naruto was walking home from the academy, he was chased by a mob of civilians and a few shinobi who feared that letting the demon learn how to use jutsu was too dangerous and decided to get rid of it before it became too powerful.
Unfortunately ANBU were no longer watching over him anymore since becoming an academy student was a double-edged sword, on one hand he was technically no longer a civilian and the civilian council could not influence decisions regarding him but on the other hand it meant he could no longer have ANBU or other shinobi guard him since it violated the law set by the Shodaime where shinobi could not monitor or track other shinobi unless they were suspected of crimes to the village or were engaged in other illegal activities. This law was originally created to ease the minds of those joining the village at the beginning of the village since it meant others could not spy on them legally or would it allow those to learn the secrets that clans wished to keep secret. After Naruto became an academy student some argued about him having ANBU watching over him and how it violated the laws. The Sandaime could not argue against this and reluctantly recalled the ANBU.
This proved to be a fatal mistake since he was beaten and was half-dead by the time ANBU were on the scene to stop the mob. After he was rushed to the hospital, it was close and there were many times where his heart stopped and had to be revived. Despite his fast recovery rate, Naruto did not wake until a week later.
Sarutobi's train of thought was broken by the Kyuubi's laughter and asked, "And what do you find so amusing?"
"I find the events that led me to gain control of this body amusing. I find it ironic how the villagers tried to kill the brat believing him to be me in human form and through their actions I now have control of his body"
The Kyuubi kept on laughing at the actions of the villagers until he was interrupted by Sarutobi,"So that was when Naruto gave control to you?"
"That's right. I offered him a chance to escape the pain, to be left alone and not see the hatred of the villagers. We made a deal during that week in the hospital."
"….I see. And what does this deal entail?"
"Nothing important, I give him my chakra and he gives me a bit of freedom as well as a few more things."
The Hokage knew he would get no more information about this deal from the Kyuubi so he decided to ask about the other detail that worried him, "You said you studied the seal, does that mean you know fūinjutsu?"
"Of course I know it, as well as the other shinobi arts."
"And how do you know that?"
"Don't think we biju are just mindless beasts, we are sentient masses of chakra. Not only that but we've lived for a long time, human and with my power, I am near invincible and can do anything I want. The way I view your race is the same as a child would view an anthill, I can easily crush you all without any effort and that is just what I did. I destroyed countless villages, ended thousands of lives, and changed the face of the Earth itself. It was all to keep myself entertained but after a while it became boring, so I decided to challenge myself when destroying something. A time limit or a similar restriction, eventually this grew boring and I decided to see if anything you humans had could entertain me. With that I learned your ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, fūinjutsu, and other arts. I decided that I would master these arts as well as others as a way to pass time. Eventually I would use them to destroy anything in my path as a way to increase my skill. While they kept me busy for some time, I eventually reached a point where I learned everything there was to learn and I decided to give the other aspects of your species a chance to pass time: your cultures, your literature, your forms of entertainment, and anything else that you humans used to pass time. Even that came to an end and I decided to wander around to find something interesting."
To say Hiruzen was shocked would be an understatement as the implications of the fact that the Kyuubi was not a monster that just relied on brute force settled in. A beast that relied on brute force is a dangerous enemy but if that same beast had the skills to compliment such power then it would be near unstoppable. If it had such knowledge then there was another concern that came to mind, "If you have such knowledge then why not just use it to break out of the seal then?"
"Like I said old man, I'm bored. When I was sealed into this brat, I didn't really care and thought it might provide me with some entertainment. There's not much for me to do if I escaped."
"So you wouldn't try to destroy Konoha for sealing you into Naruto?"
"Honestly I didn't really care about it but I do have to thank your Yondaime for sealing me into this brat."
"What do you mean by that?"
At this the Kyuubi gets up and begins to leave while saying, "Oh don't worry about that for now old man. There are other issues that require your attention, like the team assignments."
"And what makes you think I will allow you to become a shinobi now that I know you are in control?"
"One: The brat wants to become one and you owe it to him. Two: What do you think will happen if you refuse my request?"
The old Hokage thought about it for a moment and sighed, "Fine I will allow you to become a shinobi but if you do anything suspicious…" Hiruzen let the threat hang in the air.
"What will you do? Nothing. There's nothing you can do to stop me and in the end, I know you won't do anything. Will you really kill the brat? To betray the last bit of trust he has in you? To have truly failed him in every way? You and I both know the answer to that."
Silence once again descended as both just stared at each other. Eventually the Kyuubi broke it off and walked away while saying, "I will not be placed on the same team as the Uchiha. If I am then I can not guarantee his safety. Also this conversation as well as the fact that I am in control will be a secret between us."
The chakra that surrounded Naruto's body dissipated and his body returned to normal. "To think, old man, that the villagers that tried to kill the brat all those years ago gave me the final piece. I don't know whether to kill them quickly as thanks or painfully to punish them for such foolishness."
"What do you mean by final piece?"
The Kyuubi just chuckled darkly at his and replied, "You'll find out soon enough"
With that he turned around and left the room. If anybody could have seen the look on his face when he turned around, they would have seen one difference in Uzumaki Naruto's face, his eyes. In his eyes were six concentric circles.
Author's note: Whenever I have read fics where Naruto gets mobbed or beaten or anything like that I think "where the f**k are the ANBU?" so this is my reason for why they didn't stop it in time. I mean if your clan has kids in the academy, you wouldn't want some ninja to be spying on them while they're training and learn your secrets would you?
Kyuubi has shown itself to be intelligent in canon and I imagine Kyuubi as the guy with fully buffed gear+max lvl at the start and honestly if we had that in a game we'd just go to town on everything...then it'd get boring. Thats when we start with the challenges. Pretty sure some ppl have done that in games as well, I know i have. You've got nothing to do so might as well max skills and mastery now.
Like I said Naruto will have a bloodline. Yes it is what you think it is. No it is not the same as in canon. I will put my own spin on it. As for Naruto himself, his relationship with Kyuubi is kinda like Sakon and Ukon where one just hangs back and lets the other do everything. He will take control sometimes but will mostly stay "inside".
Also as for the deal between the Kyuubi and Naruto and the bloodline, I will fully explain both later on. Next chapter: Tag in, the hero returns
