Chapter 2: (latent power)
disclaimer: I dont own Naruto or any other anime I'm takin this shit from.
"What the-" Tsunade blinked a golden light just appeared an disappeared over the pass near Gambunta
This cant be good.. she thought.
She continued till she hit the pass and found ANBU, Jounin, Chuunin, even villagers. "Ok, WHO WANTS TO EXPLAIN JUST WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS ABOUT!" she yelled at the group.
She noticed a good deal of the group was injured while others were dead. Gambunta had dissipated soon after the light disappeared.
"Ah Tsunade, Hokage-sama it was a monster the light enveloped him.. We tried to stop it but it was just too strong." The ANBU continued with this performance crying "They took Naruto-san after beating him without mercy, he tried to summon lord Gambunta to carry us away but he was taken before such could happen.."
Tsunade called her team of medic nin and said to clean this place up. After going over the area she began walking away when something caught her eye. She saw a small glimmering object resting in a crack.
She sighed an went over to investigate it hoping for some clue. She froze when she saw it. Her necklace. It lay discarded in a crack on the canyon floor and the chain was dripping with fresh blood. What disturbed her the most, however, was that it appeared to have been ripped off the neck and the stone was even a little bit cracked.
She began to cry.. Naruto.. What happened to you.. She finally forced herself to pocket the necklace an continue on back into the village. Unknownst to her two S class missing-nin were hidden above the pass.
One looked to the other member of Akatsuki an stared dumbfoundedly. "So what was that?"
"We needed him alive, now I cant even sense him.."
The other sighed. "Lord Itachi will not be pleased.."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Mmmph.. Naruto slowly opened his eyes "Am I dead?" he mumbled.
The last thing he could remember was the villagers and.. Tsunade and Iruka.. Their smirks then...
Dammit I trusted those two.. I.. Tears began to well up in his eyes.
"Hello" said a soft feminine voice from his left. For the first time he took in a view of his surroundings as he rotated his head to find the source of the greeting.
White, a lot of white. He was laying on what appeared to be marble and there were no walls it was like an endless floor of marble and mist all around with no visible ceiling or walls.
He turned to see a light blonde haired girl with red eyes smiling at him. "It has been awhile brother" she said bowing.
"Um I think you beamed the wrong guy up lady I don't have any family" Naruto exclaimed.
"I was referring to my brother Kyuubi, Naruto" she said slightly agitated.
"Enough Amana, if all goes according to plan there will be no difference."
A man stepped from the shadows with dark black hair spiked back, the back containing several long tails. At this point Naruto noticed something odd. His injuries, 100's of holes that should have racked his body were gone. "Um so why am I not dead?"
Amana laughed saying "Kyuubi has chosen you therefore we shall assist."
Naruto blinked "Um still not gettin it.." The black haired man moved closer "Then perhaps you should speak to Kyuubi about it, he shall enlighten you."
Amana sighed "Sega, the explanation may take some time we should use this to prepare, we will return in 2 days for your answer Naruto."
Naruto blinked "Two days! Are you serious! What am I supposed to do for two entire days with no food or.."
Amana interrupted him "Time does not pass here" she said plainly as she walked into the mist with Sega.
"Ok" Naruto said and began to concentrate. Slowly he felt the gates of his mind begin to creep open an he slipped in. He continued through the mass of darkness before finally reaching his destination.
A cage. Alarge cage, illuminating the area with a eerie red glow.
"Sup fox" Naruto said in a cheery tone. Red slits opened a bit wider as the glow slightly increased.
"Sit down boy we have some things to discuss."
Naruto did as he was told. Kyuubi began " To begin with I will explain what you have been brought here for."
"I have seen the way you are treated, and the level you have improved despite your handicaps." Kyuubi shifted, light illuminating areas of its coat shimmering in the abyss. "I came to this world for one reason. Power.
I am the strongest of the Youkai in the mortal realm but in the Makai the world of the Demons I am but the prince in the line of the throne." "Sega my brother and Amana my sister are higher to the throne than I."
"Your entire life I have watched you an your attempts time and again to become a shinobi, and your failure each and every time." "I have protected you many times not because of the seal, or because of my needs." "But because no one else would, you have earned my respect.
Your defeat of the Uchiha, the sand boy, even the stand against the villagers, as you were at the gate you could have run. Run like the feeble humans are so proficient at, but you did not."
Naruto blinked as tears dropped in disbelief, he actually had a friend. Someone who had never betrayed him. Even Iruka who had always been there for him had turned on him in the end.
Naruto got up and went to the bars of the cage as Kyuubi extended a paw an let Naruto hold it.
"And now " Kyuubi continued.
"I have a final gift for you, inside this seal my presence is slowly being eroded and destroyed."
Naruto gasped. Kyuubi nodded an said "Soon my existence will come to an end, this is something that troubles me as I have lived for centuries on end.."
"However. I see no reason for my existence to go leaving nothing but what you had as a life before to show for it."
"So I offer myself to you in exchange for you to me. "A fusion. you will be no more and I will be no more, as we both will be always."
Naruto scratched his head. "Um I think I missed that one he he he" said grinning. Kyuubi grinned as well "We will fuse, we will become one"
"All our power, our knowledge , our memories, our personalities, all will be blended together in a balance.
Naruto closed his eyes for a moment. "So I wont be me any more."
"Yes the fusion takes nothing away but our existence. It simply adds us together."
"This is why Sega and Amana shall become your family as well."
"But the fusion must be agreed upon by both parties, if you don't want this we will be transported back to Kohona the night before you were ambushed with enough time to leave before it happens."
"No" Naruto said calmly. "No more running, I want the power to win for once."
"Im ready Kuubi-san if we do this It'll make me stronger right?"
Kyuubi smiled "Boy, you have no idea, all your training with the frog Sennin and full access to my power an techniques there will be no need to run ever again."
Naruto nodded "Lets do it."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Ok, just about set up Hokage-sama, this will allow us to see their thoughts as we force them to remember the actual events."
Ikono was very proud of himself his method of extracting information from the very minds of the interragatees was brilliant, like watching a movie as it was played through as they saw it at the time.
"And now" immediately suggestive gen-jutsu was put onto the 3 ANBU for questioning and immediately the sickening truth began to unfold on the screen.
Tsunade expected to be able to deal with a few idiots thinking they could mess with Naruto when something else came down an snatched him. Some well placed punishment and they could get back to finding him.
She was not prepared for what she was now seeing. The fear, hurt, and betrayal his eyes as he watched the henge transformation of her disown him pushed her over the edge.
"ENOUGH!" she screamed unable to take another second of it.
Immediately two of the ANBU in the chair were headless as their crushed skulls dropped from the wall leaving residue in a trail. No one in the room even tried to hold her back as they too looked on the verge of disgusted insanity.
Through gritted teeth an willpower she didn't know she possessed she growled out we will continue this tomorrow with Iruka and Jiraiya present." she knocked a hole in the wall with her fist and exited through that, instead of the door. "I want those 2 right where I left them tomorrow morning."
"I'll kill any one that touches them myself!" she shouted over her back before exiting the building.
The rest quickly followed leaving the headless ANBU corpses right where they were.

"This is ridiculous Sega! Why would he want a pathetic Human of all things!"
"Even the weakest of the Makai would be a better choice!"
Sega looked at his sister as he shook his head calmly stating "There is more to the boy than meets the eye.."
"Kyuubi has made his decision."
Amana rolled her eyes "But a fusion still! They might not even survive, fusion is only supposed to be between beings of equal mass, power, and especially species!"
"Kyuubi knows the risks, even if the boy survives the fusion, unlocking the chakra is what will be the true test."
Amana snorted "There is no way he can do that, not all at once, even we couldn't hold all that power without breaking it up into sessions." Sega looked away "There is more to the boy than meets the eye.."
"You are fully aware of the possibilities?"
Naruto sighed, "Yeah it either works an Im a god or it screws up an im dead meat, will you be ok?"
Kyuubi smiled ruefully "If the new being fails to form then I will be lost just as you will."
"So let us hope we don't fuck up eh.."
Naruto nodded "Alright lets do it if I go back Im screwed if you stay here the seal will eat you, so the only way to go is forward, to kick ass!"
They reached the cavern where Sega and Amana waited.
"Father sends you his best" Amana said.
Naruto nodded. We will wait outside the chamber till the fusion is complete then we will take custody of you until the new being is mentally stable.
Naruto then began the transmutation circles that began the process. And 15 min later he began the 130 hand seals as Kyuubi showed him and activated the process. The first seal began to glow with blue chakra, human chakra.
The 2nd with red, demon. Naruto felt a painful jolt then a splitting sensation. He felt as though he was being torn apart. His stomach seemed to blow open as the seal that had kept the Youkai at bay for 13 years was torn open and he felt the ripping intensify.
Naruto screamed out in agony as his body began to physically separate from a red ball of light that was beginning to for a shape.
A bestial shape.
The Kyuubi appeared from the glow as it dissipated, a 40 ft tall fox with shimmering fur and gleaming fangs as red slits opened and looked at the boy beside him and nodded. The Kyuubi was free.
It could simply kill the ignorant child and return to the mortal world to once again reek terror. But, It was not lying. Kyuubi truly considered Naruto a friend and a worthy fusing partner.
Naruto whose clothes had long since been burned off in the flaming chakra that now engulfed him in his circle nodded and activated the final seal at the precise same time as Kyuubi. The 1 thought trigger. FUSE!
The 3rd circle swirled in blue and red chakara as the first 2 began to dissipate along with the 2 contained within them
Ahhhhhhhh! the 2 roared simultaneously as their essence began to erode in shimmering sparkles and the roar of the voices began to become one deafening sound.
The cavern in the Makai began to shake from the pure force of the merging. As the last of the 2 faded the final pieces of the one in the 3rd circle swirling with blue and red was just finishing up its forming.
Finally the roar was one huge scream as it reached its peak than stopped leaving only an echo reverberating through the cavern. Blue mist swirling with red began to fade slowly revealing a shape.
Sega and Amana stepped into the cavern looking for the final result hoping it had been successful. Finally the mist faded enough to reveal 1 humanoid shape standing in the lightly flaming circle a young blonde haired boy.
Amana shrugged "Guess I lost that one" she said handing her brother the key to the treasure chest of the Jenten lake she had bet.
Sega only smirked "Naruto is it?" "Impressive...most impressive."
