Brightest of Lights

Summary: When a mob attacks Naruto and finds a dead body of a little girl they go crazy with hate and try to kill him for good. Except a weird swirl causes everything to go haywire and Naruto is transported to another world. Where is he? What really caused the demon marks on the little girl? And why the hell is he in the body of a fox!?

Personal Note: PLEASE READ THE "EXTRA INFORMATION" (IT IS ABOUT THE STORY)

Extra Information: Yea, I kinda fucked up with the first chapter. What I get for trying to put 50 different ideas into one story. Anyway, even though Naruto was attacked by the mob and all, and it seems he's like 7 or so...well he isn't. This story "technically" starts after the Wave Arc. I have some good ideas, and the story line pretty much already decided. Just so you know- this story will be huge if I do it right. So, if I'm at 20 chapters and Naruto isn't still on his journey you all have permission to bitch at me. :) Also, I changed him from being a cat to a fox. Would've made more sense that way.

Inspiration Songs: Some people ask me how I get inspiration for my fics. So I thought, hey. Why don't I put them up here? So here's your Inspiration Songs! "Stand in the Rain by Superchick." etc.

Naruto groaned when he started wake. 'Owww, I feel like I got trampled by 700 ninja. What happened to me?' He closed his eyes when the sun shone in his eyes, and the memories came back to him. 'Oh yea...I was chased by that mob. What was that red chakra? And that swirl mark? Wait a second...am I smaller!?'

Naruto opened his eyes slowly, adjusting to the light and stood up carefully. He froze. "What...the...hell!? Four legs?" He lifted up his 'hand' and screamed, "OH MY GOD! I HAVE PAWS!"

Over on the other side of a lake a black leopard cub with odd green eyes looked over to an older Jaguar. "Did you hear something, Cove?" The Jaguar shook his head slowly, "No, you're just hearing things. Now shut up. I'm trying to teach you how to hunt here."

The cub frowned but looked over across the lake to the forest. 'I swear I heard something.'


"Okay, don't panic Naruto. There has to be a reason why I'm an animal. What did Sakura say about this situation?" "When in a situation you have no idea about, use your head. Look around first. Figure out where you are, and if possible connect it to the situation."

"Oh yeah! Look around!" Naruto lifted his head and gasped, "Oh my god! Where the hell am I!?" He was at the edge of a huge, sparkling lake, and to his back was a huge forest with vines and branches hanging down.

"Noooo, why me? Damnit!" Naruto whined to himself. "Ah, well, while I'm here I better get a drink." Naruto padded over to the lake and took a gallon of water. When he lifted his head he looked at his reflection and gasped at himself. "Holy shit. I'm a golden fox! Damn Kyuubi. I bet he has something to do with this."

"Not quite, kit."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto screamed as he jumped out of his fur. Fur bristling he looked around him warily, "Who's there?!" he barked.

Laughter came out of nowhere, and the voice answered, "In your head, kit."

"Kyuubi!? When could you talk to me? Wait...wait! Do you know where we are? And why I'm in this body?!"

"For your questions...1. Since we got here. 2. Not at all. 3. I still don't know."

Naruto groaned, "Great. If you don't know...then who does?"

"I do, fox kit." cawed a crow on a branch. Naruto looked up warily, "Who are you? And where are we then?"

"My name is Cawner, and you are in the Land of Shistartisu."

"Shistartisu? Never heard of it. Do you know how to get back to the Ninja Nations?"

"Never heard of it! Let out your foxy friend! He could tell you answers."

Naruto bared his teeth and let out a snarl, "I'm not gonna fall for that!"

Cawner rolled his eyes, "I don't know where you're from, fox kit, but I DO know here you can let him out without consequence."

Naruto frowned and was about to protest, but Cawner interuppted him. "Fox kit, HE can only tell you where you are EXACTLY."

Naruto sighed, "Fine, but how do I let him out?"

"Just wave your tail around in a swirl. Our tails are used like hands in this world."

Naruto started swirling his tail and red chakra came out of the swirl and a fox shape materilized.

Kyuubi stretched, maw gaping in a yawn, "Feels so great to be out of that sewer." There stood Kyuubi in all his miniature glory. A red fox with 9 white tipped tails that was the size of a full-grown tiger. (Naruto is the size of a small dog)

Naruto looked up at the Kyuubi and snorted, "Kinda small, aren't you?"

"Like you have the right to talk, kit. Now, I grew up in the Land of Shistartisu. This is a whole other world from the one you're used to. You could say we got sucked to another dimension. "

"Then how am I supposed to get home!?"

"That I don't know. I haven't been in this world for ages."

Naruto growled in frustration, "Great! Just great!" Kyuubi snorted in annoyance, "I don't know why you actually want to go back. You're treated worse than dirt."

Naruto sneered, " My precious people are there. When they see I'm not there they'll start to worry."

Kyuubi laughed and was about to mock Naruto when Cawner interuptted, "I know who can tell you how to get back to your world."

Naruto looked at him excitedly, "Who!?" "Cove, The oldest Jaguar. He lives across this very lake." Naruto looked confused, "What's a Jaguar?" "A lage spotted cat." Naruto growled, " I hate cats." "As do I. That hallcat gave you the most number of injuries out of all your battles. If I ever see that thing again I'm going to rip it apart very..very slowly." Kyuubi was grinning evily and cackling lowly.

Cawner looked scared as he stood on Naruto's head. Naruto sqeaked and shook his head, trying to get Cawner off. Cawner cawed indignatly while flapping his wings, "I'm gonna show you the way Idiot fox kit!" Naruto growled but stopped shaking his head, "You can fly!" "I need to be at your level!" He resorted. Naruto growled angrily.

"Alright, crow. Show us the way." Kyuubi growled. Cawner smirked and pointed, "Alright, start running across the lake!" Naruto grinned wickedly, "Too easy!" He started running to the lake and didn't notice Kyuubi's amused smirk.

'Poor, poor naive kit.'

A screech ran throughout the forest when Naruto stepped on the water and fell in. Cawner laughed as he flapped over the spot Naruto fell in. When Naruto didn't come to the top Kyuubi looked worried and sniffed over the water. He jumped onto the water, red chakra holding him up as he dunked his head and brought up a very wet and pissed off golden rat. Naruto shivered while Kyuubi started carrying him across the lake.

Cawner laughed while he flew beside them, "Poor fox kit. Water too good for you?" Naruto glared up at Cawner and spat out some more water, "Why did I fall in? I molded chakra perfectly!"

Kyuubi snorted and talked with Naruto still in his jaws, "You need to mold demon chakra to walk on water in this world." Naruto whined, "But I don't have demon chakra!" "Yes you do. For the first 11 years of your life did you think I was sleeping?"

Naruto looked at him blankly and Kyuubi sweatdropped. "Well, I didn't. I was slowly merging 2 tails into you." Naruto looked confused, "So then why do you 9 tails? And does that mean I'm a demon?" Naruto's eyes clouded over with sadness when he said the last word.

"I grew back my 2 tails inside you, but yea. You're a two-tailed golden fox demon. When the demon chakra activates you'll end up having tails and ears in your mortal form." Naruto's eyes widened, "WHAT!? I'll be killed! Wait, can't I put a genjutsu over it?"

Kyuubi shook his head, "Nope, as a demon genjutsu is dispelled instantly." Naruto groaned, "Great, now I will be called a demon." Kyuubi sunk his teeth into Naruto's neck and he yelped. "Shut up, kit. You should be honored to be called a demon considering you're golden."

Naruto looked at him confused, "What does that have to do with anything?" The small group of three were already on the soil again and Kyuubi dropped the wet bundle on the ground. Naruto growled at the retreating figure, "WHAT ARE YOU HIDING FROM ME?!" Kyuubi had his muzzle in the air and was inhaling deeply. Suddenly he lowered his muzzle and growled at the bushes ahead of them.

Naruto growled at Kyuubi, "What the hell are you growling at?!" Kyuubi snarled at him, effectivly shutting Naruto up. Kyuubi growled darkly at the bushes once again, "Come out, felines."

A large Jaguar with a dead eye and a ruffled pelt came out of the bushes with a smaller black leopard cub with green eyes following. "Who are you foxes?" The Jaguar hissed angrily. "In OUR territory!?"

Cawner got inbetween the two growling groups and cawed, "Stop fighting! The foxes are not apart of HER territory. They are outsiders."

The Jaguar stopped hissing and sat down with his tail draped over his paws, "Alright, then who are you two then?" The black leopard layed on his stomach and watched the golden fox carefully.

Kyuubi stopped growling and sat down, but not before he grabbed Naruto with one of his lush tails and sat him between his front paws. He didn't need Naruto attacking them like an idiot.

"I'm Kyuubi no Yoko, and this is Naruto no Yoko." Naruto looked insulted and was just about to blurt out his real name when Kyuubi hit Naruto upside the head and let out a warning growl in the fox language. "Don't say your real name. Pretend you are my son. The Uzumakis aren't welcome in these parts."

Naruto nodded relunctlently and the Jaguar pretended to ignore their little chat.

"What are the Yokos doing in my territory? They haven't been here in centurys."

"Problems, but I can only tell one cat that. Now, who are you two?"

The Jaguar answered, "I am Cove, and the little cub beside me is Dabalu."
