needless to say my mind crashed in itself and a blue screen appeared in my eyes with the message:crash failure
"well this is rather underwhelming" said a slightly familiar voice and while praying i was wrong i turned and saw
"...who are you?" that's the only thing that came out of my mouth at seeing the cute chibi fox in front of me. seriously it shouldnt be legal to be that adorable
"oh i dont know santa claus perhaps?" deadpanned the little thing in front of me while pointing with its paw at the-
my mind shut itself again at seeing the nine tails swishing lazily behind the little fox
"..kyubi?" my voice came out more resembling a meep than anything else
"the one and only kid nice job getting yourself killed by the way even with regeneration on par with wolverine you still managed to get offed that's a new one"
mocking i understood and while what its saying its true i still raised to the challenge
"hey it wasnt my fault! that medic cheated!" yeah that sounded better in my head too
"of course he did you are both ninja cheating is what you should do best" the kyubi deadpanned so easily i felt akward
"a-ah ...why so affable?" that was the top question in my head last time i saw it, it was a roaring rampage of mean and bastardness
"im always like this you just caught me in a bad mood last time...namely you woke me from my nap" it responded with a huff and a dangerous glare
"well sorry about that but i was falling to my death and i needed your help" jiji always said that being diplomatic with stronger beings like you was the wiser choice
i WAS a little freaked out when ero-sennin pushed me to that big hole. now that i think about it why was there a hole there?
before i coud properly contemplate the meaning of the universe a slap from a deceptively cute fox brought me back from my musings
"ow! what was that for!?"
"that´s for being an idiot and getting yourself and more importantly Myself killed you stupid human!" waving the offending tail innocently the kyubi responded in a tone that reminded me of shikamaru in laziness
"whatever fox why are you here? no, let me rephrase that how are you here?" i didnt know the specifics of the afterlife (like all ninjas i was never a religious person) but i was pretty sure that kyubi would be going to hell (and afterwards if my research on bijuu and jinchuriki was right would reform after a set amount of time depending on power i think the kyubi would be around 7-9 years) and while im not a paragon of goodness i still think i should have a better place in the afterlife after dying
"...how much do you know about the seal that damn fourth of yours used?" responding my question with another question was a process i was familiar. a lot of my teachers liked doing it so i could train my higher mental capabilities (thank sakura-chan for that dictionary) tough at the cost of wasting a lot of time till things clicked for me
nevertheless i answered as best as i could
"the shiki fujin was made to summon the death god to sever the soul of the target sealing it and then at the cost of the users soul the shinigami would then take both souls and devour them for all eternity" i recited what i could learn after i found the cause of death of sarutobi-jiji wich he used to seal orochimaru arms
"yet why am i sealed within you?" i racked my brains for an answer but i didnt know what the fourth did to seal the kyubi only a few know and i never got around to asking ero-sennin i figured i wouldnt understand without at least basic knowledge of fuinjutsu
"then rejoice mortal i will impart my infinite wisdom with you open your ears and listen well!" the little thing stood proud in his diminutive four legs and somehow it manage to glare down its nose at me (nevermind the fact that its barely bigger than my foot only scarping my talon in terms of eight)
"yes that damned hokage of yours did use the shiki fujin invoking that meddling shinigami to take a my soul. yet they found out my power affected directly my soul growing ever stronger as do all things that achieve the higher levels of power. i as the strongest demon lord in this plane of existence had the strongest and most powerful soul out of all the living beings present!" it boasted proudly with head held high and closed eyes
"that annoying shinigami could only take a part of my soul and half of my chakra taking it to his reign yes that technique should be fatal to most mortals but for some reason or another that stupid monkey although severely weakened managed to survive the sealing" that i didnt know. the shiki fujin sealed half its power? i felt hits power and anger and i could only barely contain myself so i didnt piss myself in fear
if its so strong weakened then how powerful would it be whole?
it was a sobering tought
regardless i still kept my attention to the little demon lord in front of me
"while weakened that fourth of yours used a ability that transported us to a mountain there with the help of my previous container they managed to subdue me temporaly and using the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style sealed me whitin a prepared container . that was you but not before that i in my berserk rage killed them both with one of my claws" the haugthy tone dissapeared and the ears in its head flattened it was too cute to look at but the situation at hand deserved my focus
something was not right with this story
"i have some questions"
"hm...ask away has my tale left you so baffled that your little monkey brain couldnt understand?" thats harsh but something in that tone threw me off
"why did you attack konoha?" that was it the why of its actions depending on its answer i might find out the truth of the matter that wich is making my instinct tingle saying that something is off with the tale
"? why would i need a reason to stomp on some ants? there was no why i only did what was natural to me destroying things" it answered in a flippant tone but i knew when someone lied. i had a lot of experience in noting the subtle hints in a person body and voice knowing exactly what to say at the right moment can make a huge difference thats how i convinced gaara and neji. they wanted acceptance but not pity they wouldnt pay any attention to anyone they deemed "weak" so i beat them and when they were in the brink of despair i offered them a hand. a little harsh and manipulative but it was the only option at the time.
"you´re lying" i narrowed my eyes as its tail stiffened in response to my accusation for a extremely old being it was easy to tell what it was feeling
"w-why would i need to lie to a monkey like you?" even as it said that i could tell that its probably berating itself for that stutter it must´ve been some really long time since the last time it could interact with someone capable of speech and tought
"cut the crap something with your tale is off. in all of our conversation you have been accomodating to me the fact that you are answering my questions clashes against the image you are trying to give . you are not a rampaging savage. even when i interrupted your nap you talked to me and while that prank was mean you didnt actually harm me" i delivered with the same tone and the same clarity that happens when im talking with somoene neji said in one of our meet ups that i was particularly charismatic when i wanted
let me elaborate. one day chouji and shikamaru came up with the particular idea of reuniting our male peers and "hang out" shika later told me he came up with it while listening to ino rambling on about their girl meet ups where all of the female members of the rookie twelve as we are unofficially called go to a restaurant to chat, gossip or whatever the girls do when no male is in sight
while i didnt attend to much(too busy being in constant missions after bringing back tsunade and training with jiraya) the few times i attended all of my friends attended including neji and shino
frankly i was a little hestiant about i. i never was one for crowds for various reasons, first for the fox and later because of my pranking tendencies
but regardless with those little times we all bonded to some extent and became good friends
when shika exposed the topic of neji new personality all the ex-fate obsessed ninja said was
"naruto is particularly persuasive when he wants to"
sasuke(in one of those Rare times he assisted) immediately agreed and even shika nodded
when i objected sheepishly that no i wasnt that good sasuke counterattacked with "Koyuki,neji,gaara,zabuza,haku,kiba need i go on?" at that i could only blush and endure the stares of both my peers and the shinobi in the restaurant of the akimichi
man was that an awkward dinner
regardless it was then agreed that i somehow have the personal skill Charisma and that if i wanted i could talk anyone into doing what i wanted given enough time
this opinion is not shared by me, i mean i stumble in my words, im rude, i dont know as many words as sakura or those complex references sasuke sometimes make hell i dont even know how i convinced them i just went with what my gut told me
turns out thats good enough
"...you wouldnt believe me anyway im the kyuubi evil incarnate! humans shouldnt meddle with me" but that was it right? i wonder if anyone ever tried to talk things with a biju as far as character goes the image of the fidgeting little fox clashes against the descriptions in the shinobi school of the roaring hurricane of destruction
that's fine i never learned anything useful in school anyway
"i am no one to judge other people. i want the truth of what happened in that fateful night 13 years ago" making emphasis in people and truth i knew i won this debate when i heard the tiny being sigh
"i did always wonder how you could convince people so easily. your sheer charisma is terrifying to behold naruto"thats the first time i heard the kyubi refer to ANYTHING in name
"i didnt attack of my own volition"it started with another sigh "i was ...content to wait for the death of my previous container to be free again"
"wait. thats two time you´ve said "previous container" i tought i was your first jinchuriki?" that's been bugging me. in no records there was anything about other jinchuriki of the kyubi i know i searched for it in the library
" i´ve had three containers including you. the first was uzumaki mito the wife of your first hokage. she sealed me in herself when that accursed uchiha madara used me to try to get his vengeance in the first battle of the valley of the end"
wait a minute
"uzumaki? you mean!?-"
"i suppose you could have familial ties to her yes" the kyubi acknowledge with a nod and that left me wondering but before i could think to much about it the kyuubi continued
"still uchiha madara and those cursed eyes of his managed to override my conciousness for a while to use me against the first hokage" admitting with a hiss the little fox layed down on its paws and i followed suit sitting with my legs crossed and my arms crossed with my left arm supporting my right wich cupped my chin in my (somewhat) infamous "thinking pose"
"you mean the sharingan?" i pushed so it could elaborate
"ah that. fitting name...anyway after being sealed mito didnt even come to talk to me so i was trapped with nothing to do in chains till the end of her life neared.
that's when uzumaki kushina came to konoha"kyubi explained with its eyes going back to recollect on past experiences
"mito transferred myself to her in a ritual using the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style a speciality of the uzumaki clan"
"i have a clan?"
"last time i was free they had their own little reign in uzu just at the border of the land of the waves and the land of the rocks dunno about now...anyway mito left some instructions to kushina to "control me" pah stupid old hag if i really wanted i could´ve escaped her seal .but the bloodline of the uzumaki were particularly strong willed people combined with their kekkei genkai and sealing arts they were the natural enemies of bijuu and kushina had an iron will . the seals she designed to contain me limited even more my freedom so i dont know what she did in her life till she gave birth.
now when a female jinchuriki is giving birth the seal containing the bijuu is risking the bijuu getting free without taking "proper measures".
your dear yondaime was supervising the birth of the jinchuriki of konoha(a well kept secret at the time) so there were no complications from my part
that is until that uchiha in the mask interrupted.
he had the fully matured eyes of his accursed bloodline and kept refering himself as madara"
"was he?" uchiha madara as one of the founders of konoha along the first hokage senju hashirama. he should have died a long time ago either in his fight against the first or because of age if the rumours about the first sparing him hold any merit
"i dont know it was too fast one minute im confused after being extracted and the next a red haze settled in my mind controlling my body and making my counsciousness take a second seat to the whims of that bastard" the kyubi explained with a growl that managed to be more menacing than its current appearance should be able to do
"i was somewhat aware what my body was doing. i rampaged in konoha killing all of the defenders and ignoring their attacks that is until the yondaime appeared and somehow transported both of us to our previous location. there he summoned a giant frog-
"toad actually" i corrected without thinking and flinched when the tiny being glared at me
"toad"another glare"with an infant in his arms wich i assume it was you. you know the rest he sealed me and with my energy spent i sleep till that day you stumbled upon my cage"
as i was digesting all of this i nodded then said
"i understand" the tiny being eyes widened and with a wavering voice refuted me
"you believe me? i could be making this up as i go you know!"
"no" i shook my head i couldnt detect a single hint of a lie on the story as it recounted its experiences it had that far off look jiji sometimes gets when he remembers something in the far past
"you didnt lie even once while telling me this i should know i lie all the time" i admitted wryly and the tiny being eyes widened even more before it huffed/sighed
"now i undestand how dangerous that charisma of yours is...alright then you want my coperation? you have it from now on we are partners if tomorrow you die i die if you keep on living ill stay by your side this i swear as a demon lord" it said with solemnity
i hate ruining a so touching moment but i have to remind it of our current situation
"uh..yeah well about that we are dead remember?" i explained slowly and watched how its tail stiffened even more before its face got red and it put a paw in its face as if to block the embarassment
"by the way you know anything about this?" i asked and pointed to the still unfurled scroll that stood behind me during all of kyubi explanation
quickly taking the oportunity to distract itself from more embarassment the kyubi quickly read (as its eyes traveled trough the scroll) and made an amused sound
"virgin huh?" cue blush from my traitorous blood pressure " hm tis does resembles a lot some of the games i managed to play in my spare time that you mortals made some years ago...hm why dont you try tapping it?" i did as the tiny being suggested and was met with a click sound
do you want to continue?
yes
no
"well now with a choice like that who could say no?" exactly my toughts and with that i "clicked" the yes icon and was met with swallowing darkness
when i opened my eyes again(when did i close them?) i was met with an ephemeral replica of the leaf village except there were some key differences
the monument was the same and it still had the heads from the previous hokage
but the districts were bare with only plain looking building where otherwise higly decorated and customized shops and compunds would ocupy
andin top of all that there i saw
Naruto: the videogame
