Chapter 1 : Of Men and Foxes, Part 1
? ? ?
In a place of darkness, where multiple colors collide, a single man floats inside this place. He seems to be in pain, a deep pain. He seems to be suffering from a nightmare. About a lost love one. He dreams of a dream that will never come true. This is what haunts the man in his nightmare.
Thankfully he was woken up by small girl who seems to also float on this place. The only difference is that she is awake. The girl slowly floats near the man and...
Kicks his balls.
"ARRG!" Minato hold his family jewels with both hands... I really got to say that has got to hurt.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" Minato looks around to see the Kyuubi glaring at him.
"Where in all of the 11 levels of hell did you take me too!" The Kyuubi shouted angrily at him before he himself retorted to her kick on his balls.
"THE FUCK SHOULD I KNOW?" Minato still caressing his balls.
He could not think clearly. Having a nightmare and being woken up by a kick to your nuts really was'nt making him clear-headed. Minato did not notice he was inside a dark place with nothing touching his feet. Different colors illuminate the place.
"..." The Kyuubi still silently glared at him.
After a minute of caressing his balls Minato finally felt a little better.
"So... Where are we?" The Kyuubi looked at Minato like he was trash on the roadside.
Minato ignored her look and observed the things around him. He was still for a moment.
"... I think were in a mindscape..." Minato guessed unsurely.
"... Your kidding right? This place is empty. A mindscape is the shape of a person's soul. It uses his or her experiences to shape what it looks like." The Kyuubi spats out to him irritably.
"... That is the case, unless it has no experience yet..." Minato says to her. He does'nt want to give the Kyuubi the answer but it seems she figured it out. Her face perked up. Minato looked at her body. It seems that he still can't see her face to face.
"The kid." Kyuubi says so in monotone.
"Hey. The 'Kid' has a name. It's Naruto, so use it." Minato scowled at her.
The Kyuubi lock eyes with Minato. Minato flinch a little but still held the gaze. A minute passed. More minutes passed. Maybe even hours, or days. Minato no longer felt hurt looking directly at her. She was'nt like Kushina after all. Thought their hair color were pretty much the same only that the Kyuubi has brighter, fiercer color red of a hair. It leans to being blood red rather than the normal red. He looked at her golden eyes for a long time. Noticing her cute nose and small but full lips... Wait golden eyes? Minato remembers it being red from the beginning of their encounter. He suddenly broke the silence.
"Why are your eyes gold?" Minato asked her while not breaking eye contact. The Kyuubi did not respond for a while.
"... What the hell are you talking about?" The Kyuubi spat out.
"Your Eyes? Eyes. E. Y. E. S. Eyes?" Minato says to her like she's dumb or something.
"..." Kyuubi looked at Minato with a slight mix of anger and spite.
"I know what eyes are you bumbling idiot, I mean what wrong with my eyes?" The Kyuubi spat out with a lot of venom this time. She gestures with her hands pointing to her eyes.
Everything they did here, there eyes never leaving each other. It was quite weird.
"Hah..." Minato sighed and floats near the Kyuubi's face.
"Wha-" Before she can say anything Minato holds her face directly at his. Her reflection was ever so present inside his eyes. It would seem that Minato only had eyes for her. It made the Kyuubi blush slightly. She gave thanks that they were to close to each other that it was impossible for Minato to see it. But the blush soon faded and a look of puzzlement was on her face, then a look of ignorance, and finally a look of shock, all in it's proper order.
Her eyes were indeed gold rather that red.
"What the hell..." The Kyuubi said but suddenly she realized something.
"No, no, no... This can't be possible... It just can't." Kyuubi was panicking. She struggled against Minato's hold on her. Minato let her go once he saw her right leg being pulled back. He held on to his balls instictively. But it never came. The Kyuubi looked down, her bangs covering her face. Then..
"WHAT DID YOU DO?" She looked at Minato, her eyes filled with so much hatred that it would seem that her earlier reactions where something that was done with friends. Her voice sounded demonic but something in it still sounded human for some reason. Her presence filled the entire mindscape with fear. But sadly it only lasted a second. A long second that seemed like eternity.
"Arrrgh..." The Kyuubi suddenly clutch her right chest with her hands. As this place has no grounds she could not have fallen but still she drifted downwards, like falling to endless darkness.
Minato being stunned from the presence that the Kyuubi released, was back to normal after it was gone. He should have really not underestimated the Kyuubi, even if she looked like a child. He watched her fall very slowly... He knew that she would not die and that she might just appear again somewhere near but every fiber of his being tingled on the taught of losing the sight of her.
He moved faster that he could think. He reached out to grab her. He held her tight and looked at her face. It was filled with such pain that she did not even notice Minato hugging her. She breathed so rough that it seems there was something stuck in her throat. Minato relaxed their hug a bit and held her by the back, caressing the top of her head ever so slowly...
It was a long time before the Kyuubi was breathing normally. She occasionally twiched every now and then. Thankfully her tails where nowhere to be seen. She slowly relaxes on Minato's chest as if accepting her situation. She still has her head down but her hands were clutching the arm that Minato has wrapped around her body.
"... What... Did you do?" The Kyuubi says. Her voice was so weak and fragile that you might think that she was a different person. Her head was still looking down but her hold body was leaning on him.
Minato pondered for a minute. He thought it was best to explained. He told Kyuubi of his plans to seal him in his son, Naruto, to make him the strongest ninja. It was something that both he and Kushina wanted.
"...But something went wrong, right?" The Kyuubi said. Her head was now leaning on Minato's chest. Her eyes staring straight at his.
Minato sighed. He did not like the idea of falling one bit.
"Yes... It seems that something happened but at the same time nothing seemed to happen. Look, I am still alive and well, where as you are still here, not sealed, even if you look like this." Minato says.
The Kyuubi looked at him with a emotion that Minato has not seen in her from their confrontaions. Anxiety.
"Then... Then..." The Kyuubi tries to says something but seems to find it hard to say. Minato let's her continue. The Kyuubi turns her body around and faces Minato. They looked at each other, staring at each others eyes.
"Then why can't I use my chakra and youki anymore?" The Kyuubi's eyes seems a little wet for some reason.
"I don't know... I told you that something did happen but at the same time something did not happen." Minato sighs. His been sighing a lot in this conversation. To many things went wrong. Then he felt the Kyuubi stiffen up.
"What's wrong?" Minato asked.
"When was your hair white?" The Kyuubi asked.
Minato frowned at the question. But he could not confirm it for there was no mirror and he did not have the Kyuubi's amazing sight.
"I don't know, maybe it was one of the things that happended when I did the seal... ing..." Minato slowly says at the end. His ponders on something. And he tries to do something with his right hand.
Suddenly pain flared across his chest. He holds the his chest with his left hand let's his head rest on the Kyuubi's shoulders.
The Kyuubi noticed the change in the man and just let him lean on her for a bit.
He slowly says something that was not audible at first but hearable later on.
"I got it..." He says. Then he looked at the Kyuubi. Minato's face deadly serious.
"I think I sealed our chakra inside Naruto." Minato said calmly.
"... What did you say?" The Kyuubi's face was so shocked that it freezed.
Konoha Hospital, U4, The 4th Hokage's Private Hospital Room
Sarutobi slowly goes down the elevator. With him was Jiraiya The Toad Sannin and Tsunade The Slug Sannin. It's been five days since Minato was found unconscious at the battlefield where he fought the Kyuubi. He was diagnose with extreme chakra exaustion and he should be fine if he just rested but there was something wrong. Minato did not recover his chakra, no that was a wrong way to put it. His chakra level have recovered but it was smaller that your average civilian. It was so small that it seemed that he was still a new born. The same goes to he girl that he was with. In fact, only his son, Naruto was healthy. But it seemed that his chakra levels where to big for a kid, even if the Kyuubi was sealed inside of him. His chakra level is higher that the Hokage and the Sannin's combined
So he sent word to Tsunade to help with their diagnostic tests. The elevator came to a stop and two shinobies were standing infront of the door. It was Kakashi and Itachi. They were not wearing their masked as it was cast aside in the corner of the room. They walked past them and the two followed behind them.
Three beds lay their, one for each.
"So... no one has tried to enter here?" The old man asked the two.
"Fugaku-sama tried to barge in here with Mikoto-sama." Kakashi says.
"Shibi-sama tried to use his bugs to locate a different entrance." Itachi says.
"Choza-sama tried to break down the door going down this room." Kakashi adds.
"Inoichi-sama tried to mind read the password off a doctor." Itachi adds.
"Hizashi-sama and Hiashi-sama tried to go down here but the did not know the password." Kakashi adds more.
"Tsume-sama threatened the staff with her pups." Itachi also adds more.
"Shikaku-sama and Yoshino-sama tried to come in with Choza-sama and Inoichi-sama." Kakashi does not want to seem to stop this.
"Enough." Sarutobi says. He can see a lot of veins popping out of Tsunade while Jiraiya sighs.
"This was supposed to be an SSS-Class secret! If the other villages get wind of this they'll think that were vulnerable!" Sarutobi spats out.
"But only the clan heads know that Minato-sama is currently in coma." Kakashi retorts back.
Kakashi was right. Sarutobi brief them that Minato was unconscious for the time being and is healing. But noooooo. What do they do? They come here in flocks, that's what they do. It will just put the civilians at unrest. They are currently trying to rebuild their lives, they do not need to know that their hokage was still not moving.
"How is he Tsunade?" Jiraiya asked. This made Sarutobi return back to the world.
"I don't know... It really does seem like it's chakra exaustion but... at the same time it's like his chakra levels are already at its limit."
"Hmm..." They pondered over it. Moving a little way from the beds, they discussed the symptoms that were possible to have.
They did not realize the twiching finger of Minato.
Author's Notes : AND ANOTHER CHAPTER DONE! Hahahahaha! Chapter 3 is up that fast! Now Let me explain the details. Kushina is NOT the container of the Kyuubi so Tobi did not attack them. Kushina just died a normal birth related death. This was actually that hardest part to think. Should I make a story and follow the canon or should I say to HELL WITH IT!
Well... You know the answer... hehehe, I just had one of the most shittiest ideas ever so I'm going to rush it so we can time skip it a little. Then we are off to fighting! More people faving this fic in which I am eternally grateful. Hopefully you'll also comment on my work so I don't have to google all the time. Anyways, that's it for me!
