It was dark in the forest near the border to Water country and Naruto Uzumaki was downright miserable. The boy had been moving in a zigzag way so it would be hard for people to follow him, but he doubted his village, no, former village would send anyone after him. He was positive that everyone was celebrating the fact he was gone. The blonde clenched his fists in frustration and he finally wondered what he should do.
The child had been dashing around the forest for the better part of a week and he had never stopped long enough to think. He had been to upset and angry with everyone to think clearly. When he had finished venting he just felt empty. His dream, his home, his friends were gone and he knew he couldn't go back not now. What could he do? Where could he go? He didn't want anyone to recognize him so he couldn't go anywhere where people knew him. For the first time in a very long time, Naruto considered just giving up. The idea seemed like the only thing he could do now.
"Oi brat, don't you dare consider ending your life I want to get out of here not die!" Naruto's tenant growled at him. Ever since the fight with Sasuke Naruto had established a mental connection with the fox. "Besides what happened to the idiot who would always yell he would become hokage?" stated the fox.
"Did you ever consider that maybe that person was a fake?" Naruto said quietly. He knew he could just mentally chat with the fox but he really didn't care anymore.
"Bah! Like I care! Just stop acting like an emo bitch!" shouted the fox. Secretly the Kyuubi was hoping to reignite the old flame of Naruto's personality. While it would never admit it, the fox had grown to respect the child for everything he did. Hell, the demon admired and liked the boy for his tireless energy and never gives up attitude.
"And why the hell can't I?" shouted the blonde angrily. "I think I deserve to act however I god damn want considering the shit I've had to go through! Not that you even care! So how about you just shut the hell up and accept the fact that you're stuck in me whether I like it or not and trust me I fucking hate it!" ranted Naruto. The fox was surprised at the normally happy boy's rage and even more surprised at the killing intent he was giving off. "If you had never been sealed inside of me I would probably have had a normal life where people didn't try to kill me day in and day out! Hell I wuld have loved a life where I was alone but not hated and hunted! But no, instead that fucking asshole the fourth decided to seal you inside of me thinking everything would be fine and those ignorant villagers would treat me as a hero! Hell, I bet my own parents abandoned me because I was some accident of a one night stand!" Naruto screamed, tears pouring across his face. Finally the blonde let loose a roar of raw emotion before collapsing on the ground in a heap, too exhausted mentally, physically and emotionally to continue his tirade. Instead he just curled up into the fetal position and fell asleep, sobs and whimpers escaping his lips every so often as he slept.
Kyuubi couldn't believe what she had just heard; she never imagined her container would ever sound this… broken. She never knew Naruto had thoughts like these and wondered if she had just made his life worse by acting like the angry demon when they met. She had wanted her container to be strong and courageous which is why she always appeared to him in fox form and insulted him. She never imagined that in reality she was just adding to the boy's suffering. The vixen felt an overwhelming amount of guilt and shame at what she had done to the boy, as well as a burning hatred for the villagers that did this to him.
Kyuubi pulled Naruto's into her cage and switched into human form. In her human form she was barefoot and wore a red kimono that hugged her perfect body and rather large bust. She had fair unblemished skin with long red hair that reached to her lower back, just above her nine swishing tails. She had red eyes with slit black pupils, three whisker marks like Naruto and two little fox ears on top of her head.
Kneeling she pulled Naruto's head onto her lap and stroked his hair and whisker marks, driving away the boy's nightmares. A soft smile crept onto her face as she saw the boy snuggle closer to her, a purring sound emitting from him. The vixen wrapped her tails around them both and she slowly fell asleep with her arms around the boy in a protective fashion. 'Naruto I will make it up to you, even if it takes the rest of my life' she vowed. With that vow came the start of a legend.
