Another insect flits into view, this one holding a sword before it.

"Drop her, Naruto."

The edge to that voice makes it laugh as it stretches up one great claw to melt the sword. The insect flinches as if burned. "I am not your Naruto. I am Kyuubi!"


Kyuubi? The legendary nine-tails? It is worse than he feared.

"Kyuubi. I know of you."

He looks up, and the blood red of the sharingan meets the flame red of the demon fox. His hand presses against its forehead and … he's in.

Naruto's mind appears as a labyrinth like sewer, but now it is filled to overflowing with boiling semi-gaseous chakra, a deep orange-red – the power of the Kyuubi. Sasuke looks startled for a moment, but somehow he knows where he must go. One arm raised to protect his face, he presses through the clinging waves of foul chakra, his hair and clothing beginning to smoke from its heat.

An eternity or a second, and an indefinite number of turns later, he comes to a room, the first he has seen in this place. A room with its barred doors ripped off and a torn seal lying before it. A room filled to bursting with Uzamuki Narutos. Against the orange of their attire, it takes him a moment to realize that they are held in by great fox tails across the doorway.

Now he doesn't know what he has to do, but he can't leave Naruto trapped in his own mind, so he reaches up with a black marked hands and pulls aside one of the tails. Ot resists, burning his flesh, but the cursed seal responds, forcing down the power of a single tail. The Narutos within begin to multiply, spilling through the gap, forcing aside the remaining tails and pouring down the halls. Kyuubi's hate filed features appear in the tides of red for a second before being swept away.


That insect! An Uchiha. I should have known. The fruits of that accursed bloodline have always had more power than was good for them.
The kyuubi flees, pressed back by uncountable bodies until it reaches the edge, the very edge of Naruto's mind. It takes the only path left open, traveling down Sasuke's veins into the depths of his soul. Not until it is too late does it realize it is trapped, its escape cut off, a pair of sharingan eyes loom above it.

"This is my domain, Kyuubi. And I seal you."


Naruto's body lies peaceful, the markings on his cheeks the only sign that he was ever host to the demon fox. In sharp contrast, Sasuke's body convulses in the dirt, eyes tight shut, agony contorting his face. A thread of fire escapes from his mouth alongside a cry of pain, before being pulled back behind sealed lips.

Slowly, agonizingly slowly, nine writhing tails appear on his neck, the opposite side to his cursed seal, burning, twisting, before finally stilling and fading to black.


Ok .. so what I wanted to do in a story was .. Sasuke has the Kyuubi sealed inside of him .. basically this will make him even more obviously powerful, and Naruto more of a loser dropout ... I thought it would be interesting.

Please review.
