A/N: I would apologize for not updating but I'm pretty sure I already told everyone this was going to be inconsistent in the first chapter.

Anyways, I have a lot planned for this story; one idea is for me to cross this story with my other story at certain parts. Not ideas but literally crossing the story by having Naruto from my other story temporarily come to this story and leave (Which will be written from a different perspective in said story.)

Anyways, tell me what you think

Chapter Two

Revelation

"Why am I so small?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know?" answered the demon.

"You told me to ask you any question I want and you would answer it…" replied the spirit.

"I never said I knew the answer."

"Fine, at least tell me why you bonded with me."

" Well, I got bored being sealed inside of you and thought,' what the hell, why not' so here I am."

'Actually… I have no idea. Probably shouldn't tell him that though…'

"Why am I a fox?"

"Because I am." '...At least I think so."

"…But why am I so short?"

"Sensitive much?"

Naruto's snout scrunched up a bit in a pout while the red fox laughed at his expense.

They were currently sitting in a tree in one of the training grounds while Kyuubi answered Naruto's questions.

When Kyuubi finally calmed down, Naruto asked with a serious expression," …Can I ever become normal again?"

The demon replied," Well, that depends on what you mean by normal. Do you mean human or alive?"

"Both of them sound good."

"Well too bad, you can't become human or alive again."

The ghost developed a tic mark and yelled," Then why did you ask which one I meant!"

"Fun. Duh."

ooOoo

"So what was there?"

"Umm…"

"Well?"

"I'd rather not say sir."

"I'm the Hokage; I'm pretty sure I need to know."

"Promise not to choke me sir?"

"Now why would I do that?"

"Just promise."

"Fine."

The ANBU officer, understandably, had doubts about the Sandaime keeping his promise but he would eventually have to report the incident. Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he finally let out," We found the body of one, Uzumaki Naruto"

... In a sickeningly sweet, yet anxious, voice, he asked," I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you right. Care to repeat that."

"Uzumaki Naruto is…dead"

3...

2…

1…

…Brace for impact

WHAM

In an instant, the revered leader of the village appeared in front of the officer, holding him up by the scruff of his collar.

Said ANBU was currently trying to imitate water by turning blue. "…C-Can't…bre-"

As soon as the ANBU was released, he hunched over while trying to regain his breath. The Sandaime was backing away from the man until he hit his desk. His eyes were widened and glazed over as he tried to cope with the news he had just received.

It looked as if the man was on the verge of losing it when he immediately calmed and asked," Where's the body?"

A shiver was sent down the soldier's spine as frost seemed to form the air that left the Hokage's mouth.

"The body is currently being held in the morgue for autopsy."

"Show me."

ooOoo

"Hey…Kyuubi?"

"?"

"What do I do now? Jiji made me wait till turned six before I could enter the Ninja (Accidentally spelled Ninga there XD) Academy but now…"

Seeing where his thoughts were going, the demon stepped in." You can still be a ninja. 'Course, with you being a small rei (spirit) fox, it might be a fuc- err a messed up journey but it's still possible."

"But I can't learn any of the hand to hand stuff. Shoot, I can't even pick up those knives that ninjas use"

"A kunai?"

"Yeah, that. Anyways, I'm dead. I'm pretty sure Jiji wouldn't react well to seeing a ghost like in those stori-"

Naruto froze in mid though/speech before rapidly asking," Oh no, I'm not gonna become all evil am I?"

Kyuubi chuckled in amusement and asked," What gave you that stupid idea? Of course you're not going to become evil. Maybe a little cold but that's it."

"So I'm not gonna be bad?"

"Nope"

Sighing in relief, Naruto explained," Jiji always told me ghost stories and in all of them, the ghost was evil and would haunt someone."

Nodding his head, Kyuubi reminded Naruto to keep on track.

"Oh right. Anyways, how am I supposed to tell him that I'm dead?"

Kyuubi gained a contemplative look on his face before," Well, just go out with it and pop up in front of him. Just uhh…don't mention me. Don't want him freaking out now that the Great Kyuubi is free, now do we?"

Naruto's face went like O.O

"Normal people can see us?"

"Why do you think we hid from the ANBU?"

"Good point…I still don't think that's a good idea though…"

"Whatever kit"

"Huh?"

"Nothing"

ooOoo

There are certain times when you can just tell something's wrong. One of those times was going on exactly at his moment as an ANBU was leading the Hokage to the morgue section of the hospital.

As the two passed several doctors and nurses, a wave of KI (Killing Intent) washed over whoever was unfortunate enough to be in the presence of the Hokage.

So it was understandable that the actual ANBU who was leading his leader was in a mini panic.

'Craaaaaap, I'm so screwed. Oh god, oh god oh god…I wonder if it's still called attacking the Hokage if he attacks you first? Either way, I just hope he doesn't flip out in me."

As the pair reached their definition, The ANBU took out a key and unlocked the door and the Sandaime entered, going down the stairs into the basement.

As the Hokage went into the morgue, several thoughts flitted around in his head.

'He…he might not be dead…Yeah that's right…there's still a chance….But if he's really dead…"

Obviously, the Sandaime was not in the healthiest of mindsets.

Upon reaching the end of the stairs, the ANBU flipped on a switch sending power to huge lamps set in the ceiling of the morgue.

"Where is everyone?"

"Sir, it is night time; the only people left are the night guard and the people in the lab."

"Then let's see the body."

After several minutes of navigating the near catacomb-like place, the y came upon the S-Sector where the bodies of people who contain huge secrets were stored.

Now, normally people would be buried but as these were ninja bodies, there was loads of valuable information on them that could be used by opposing forces. Not only ninjas were stored here. There were people who were experimented on with chemicals from Orochimaru's previous experiments as well.

So knowing this, it was not surprising to know that the jinchuriki of the fabled Kyuubi no Kitsune-Youko was here being studied.

As they went to the viewing window to the lab, what the venerable old man saw would provide a source for nightmares for weeks to come.

What was once a slightly (greatly) malnourished boy with blond hair was now a charred body with blackened bones and black-red blood caked everywhere. Most of the skin and muscle on the face had been burnt off except a small patch near his left eye. The said eye was opened wide open and you could almost see the fear being projected by the lone orb.

Not only was the body burnt beyond recognition, there were several spots in the boy's chest that were-

'They tore open his chest?'

Indeed the villagers had used several crude methods to rip out the intestines of the, now red, head.

It looked like several creatures had tunneled a hole out of his stomach from the inside out. Pieces and strands of random internal organs were strewn from his form and hanging over the edges of the hole. There were evident bite and tear marks from animals who had feasted themselves on his blood-caked flesh after the life had already left the body.

"Oh god…"

The ANBU next to the Hokage turned away and held his hand to his mouth underneath the mask.

As the ANBU was grasping his stomach, he thought,' Dear Kami, I didn't notice it was this bad earlier…"

ooOoo

As Naruto lay on his stomach on the roof of a building overlooking the no-longer busy streets of Konoha, he silently pondered his existence.

'Now what do I do? I can't keep living like I used to…Am I going to be stuck like this forever? I sure hope not. There's still so much I want to do…'

From a distance away, the red fox looked on and thought,' There's still a way. For our safety, I hope you learn as much as you can because, she's going to be after your soul…'

A/N: I wanted to right more ( about double) but this seemed like a good place to stop.
