Hello readers of Naruto Uzumaki: Eyes of Red this is darklinkblade welcoming you to the next chapter. So without further to do lets start this thing.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.


Naruto went to bed that night happier then he ever was before. He now had a weapon to call his own, a friend, and some one willing to teach him. All in all he thought that things would only get better for him self.

Drip…. Drip….. Drip. What was that sound, Naruto thought to himself.

Drip….. Drip…. Drip. There it was again. Well I better go check it out. Naruto opened his eyes to see that he was in a sewer. Where the hell am I, Naruto exclaimed.

"Kit…. come to…. me."

"Follow… the sound of….. my voice."

Naruto didn't know why he listened to the voice but something inside of him told him that the voice wouldn't hurt him.

Naruto took many left and right turns. When he finally reached the end of the seemingly endless maze he saw a girl who was sitting on her knees behind some bars; she seemed to be upset. Naruto approached the bars with little caution. Naruto saw that her face was streaked with tears. Naruto didn't know what to do so he just put one of his hands on her shoulder. The girl looked up at Naruto and started to cry even more. Naruto decided that his earlier motion was not enough, so he stepped through the bars and wrapped his arms around the girl in a hug.

"Its ok," he whispered in her ear. Naruto rubbed her back with his hand. He could feel her shudders slowly come to a stop. She pushed her self away from Naruto and stood up. She took a few steps back and looked down at Naruto.

"I'm sorry," she said to him.

"Ne, ne what are you sorry for? I'm pretty sure we haven't met before."

"I'm the reason everyone in your old village hated you."

"What do you mean?"

The girl pushed Naruto through the bars of the cell. He stumbled out and fell on his butt. He looked through the bars and saw the girl he was hugging earlier hold her head in pain. Naruto rushed to help her, but she held out a hand and stopped him by yelling at him to not come near her. Slowly the girls skin began to peel off, her features became more feral. Her limbs doubled in size, then tripled, and to top it all off nine red tails grew from some where between her butt and back. When all was said and done the girl was no more and in her place stood a humungous nine tailed fox.

"This is my true form boy. For I am the Kyubbi no Yoko. The nine tailed demon fox. I was forced to attack your village by an Uchiha who I promptly killed after he cast the genjutsu on me."

The fox returned to its human shape quicker then it did to its fox shape.

"I'm sorry for what I did," she sighed. She knew the boy was going to hate her now. All she ever wanted was a friend but she could never get any because of her extreme power. Everyone was scared of her and dared not approach her. Least the incur her wrath. She saw him shaking. She took this as a sign of anger and decided that she would let this boy kill her to show that she was sorry for what she did. So she walked out of the cage and stood before Naruto. She materialized a tanto in her hand and gave it to Naruto.

"Kill me," she said. "For only in my death will you find comfort."

She saw Naruto unsheathed the tanto and closed her eyes. This was to be her end; the end of the most powerful demon in the world. She felt her body get hit with something, but yet she did not feel any pain. She opened her eyes expecting to see a tanto sticking out of her stomach, but in stead she saw Naruto hugging her and crying. Mouthing the words: "I won't do it". Over and over again. She was wondering what he meant when Naruto found his voice again.

"I won't kill you. You don't deserve to die. The attack wasn't your fault and I don't kill in cold blood. Besides if I kill you I won't have any friends." Naruto flashed her his trademark fox like grin.

"Hey Kyuubi-san I need some help with a matter and I think only you can help me with it because you're a girl."

"Having girl troubles already Naruto?"

"W-well maybe."

"Well then who is this lucky girl?"

"Well you see the thing is I don't know who it is."

"You don't know but I have a feeling your heart does."

"Well if I ever get there I'll be sure to ask it who the girl is."

"Kit you're about to wake up, so have a good day and maybe, if you impress, me today ill help you with your taijutsu."

"Really, thanks Kyubbi."

"My names Bell, not Kyubbi."

"Alright then Bell-san see you latter.

(End of mind scape)


Naruto awoke rather groggily. His mind was slowly coming back to him. He started to gag when yesterday's events came back to him. He rushed out side of the tent he was in and let loose what he had eaten the day before. Naruto felt a hand on his back. He looked up and saw Itachi. He flashed him a smile.

"I suppose this was brought about by your first kill." Naruto just bowed his head dumbly.

"Well then I suppose I'll have to talk you out of this traumatized state if I'm to be your sensei. Well Naruto I'm not going to lie to you we are ninja part of our job description is to kill, but what separates us from monsters is that we kill only if we need to. While monsters kill for pleasure. Once you start to kill for pleasure is when you are no longer a ninja." Itachi noticed that Naruto was still a little shaken up so he decided to tell him the story of his first kill.

"Naruto I had my first kill at the age you are now. My team was on a mission. We were sent on a simple extermination mission. Our objective was to wipe out some bandits that were terrorizing a nearby town. Our sensei was caught off guard and was killed. So was my other male teammate. I and my team's female companion were all that there was after we finished our job. The thing is I didn't lift a finger to help my team during that mission. It was on the way back to Konoha when I got my first kill. We decided to stop for the night. My female companion took first watch. Somehow we missed two bandits and a missing nin from the group we exterminated. They saw her and decided that they would have their way with her before they killed her. It was her scream that woke me. I stepped out of the tent with the very same tanto you now wield unsheathed. I easily killed the bandits, not thinking about how it was my first kill. I had freed my team mate and she collapsed into my arms. I slowly lowered her to the ground. I had just set her when the missing nin cam out and tried to attack me from behind. He was very loud though so I was able to block his strike in time. It was a hard battle the only reason I won the fight was because he threatened my team mate's life and my own. His threats and the stree of the battle awoke my Sharingan. So just like you, my first kill was to protect someone. The question you should ask your self is: What would have happened if you had not of acted when you did?" With his wise words of wisdom spoken Itachi left Naruto to his own devices. Naruto moved away from his barf and sat down to ponder what Itachi had told him. It was true he did not like killing those two men but he had to in order to save that girl. He decided that from then on he would protect his precious people starting with that girl. As soon as she woke he would find out her name and if she wanted to travel with them. He heard a rustle in the bushes. Speak of the devil, he thought to himself. The girl walked through the bushes and stopped a few inches from Naruto.

"Th-thank y-you," she spoke softly. "If it wasn't for you and that man I would be dead right now."

"Think nothing of it. Anyone would of done it."

"That's where your wrong. Everyone in my village hates me because of something I had no control over. In fact this isn't the first attempt on my life."

"Your life sounds just like mine. What's your name?"

"My name is Fu what's yours?"

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki. It's nice to meat you Fu."
