"Kyuubi, you had better start explaining what you did right now." Said our favorite blond ramen eater who was currently standing in the middle of a desert.

"Why should I? It's quite amusing watching you shout in frustration."

"If you don't tell me soon maybe I will just 'accidentally' stick my head in the sand and suffocate."

"You wouldn't dare!" Kyuubi yelled sarcastically.

"You don't think I would commit suicide?"

"Oh, I know you would do that. But your social problems are the reason we're here. And stop talking to yourself. People are going to start thinking you're crazy."

"People! What people? There's no one here!"

"Wow, you noticed."

"Kyuubi!"

"Okay, fine. I'll stop humiliating you for now."

"For now?"

"I can't very well stop altogether can I?"

"I suppose not... but can you at least explain to me what is going on?"

"I guess I can do that much. Remember me saying that it was your 'social problems' that got us into this mess?" He nodded. "Well that is partially true. You were about to die, so the same thing happened as always."

"You mean YOU sent me here!"

"In a sense. Let me start from the beginning since there is no point in hiding it now. And do NOT interrupt me while I am speaking! I used to be the forest god, or more of a spirit. I wasn't always 'evil'. I was in charge of protecting almost everything on earth, but mostly the forests. There were other spirits to protect other things, like oceans and mountains. The reason I was in charge of everything was because I was strongest. I could best protect it."

"One day, however, I was stalking about the fire country, near Konohagakure, when I sensed an incredible killing intent. When I realized what was happening, it was to late. I had already taken on physical form and was heading towards the closest populated area, Konoha. I tried to stop, but it was like I was a prisoner in my own body. You see Naruto, what you call 'demon chakra', is a disease to me. A virus. When it 'infected' me, I no longer had control of my body. The chakra has a mind of its own. It began to spread in my body, changing it to what it wanted. Bigger, stronger, it even warped my mind. However, when you're Yondaime sealed me, he sealed the 'virus' as well. It was still there, of course, but it had completely stopped. Frozen, so to speak."

"Whenever you use the chakra, it tries to do the same to you as it did to me, but the seal stops it. In the process however, it gains some control. I have some control too, such as the chakra healing you so you can survive, but I force it to heal everything. Generally speaking, the more demon chakra you use, the more control it gets. At the final attack with Sasuke, I admit I tried to teleport you to a different world."

"Aha! It WAS you then!"

"Quiet brat! I told you not to interrupt me and I was serious!" Naruto immediately shut up, slightly afraid he wasn't going to hear the rest of the story. "Now where was I..." Naruto grinned a little at this. "Teleportation normally consumes vast amounts of chakra, which is why you shinobi rarely use it except in your own village, where its safe. Just teleporting a short distance takes more chakra than many chuunins have. However I just teleported you to a new world, how much chakra do you think that consumed?"

"I was originally aiming to send you to a world close to your own, you know, ninjas, Kages, that sort of thing. However, with the control the 'virus' had from us both using so much chakra, it tried something desperate. Apparently, what has partially taken me over is not the complete 'virus'. There is some of it here in this world, I can feel it easily, and the part controlling me wishes to join with the part here. When I tried to teleport you, it interfered by sending us to the place it wanted. Since the 'virus' wants to stay here, and demonic chakra is now all I have, there is no way for me to send you back, and you will never have enough chakra to do it yourself in the span of your lifetime."

Naruto stared in awe at the Kyuubi, thinking about all he just heard. Trying to adjust the all that information, Kyuubi was a little surprised and impressed that he didn't pass out. However Naruto chose that convenient time to pass out.

"Oh sure that's smart, just conk out in the middle of the desert, its not like you'll dehydrate or anything." Naruto of course stayed quiet. "Okay, you asked for it. Time for another of my little 'chakra charges' heh, heh." Kyuubi then sent a small amount of chakra to Naruto's body, generally electrocuting him.

"Holy shit! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! That hurts!" Naruto yelled while running around in circles anime style.

"HAHAHAHA! I never get tired of that and I doubt I ever will. Anyway Naruto...get off your lazy-ass and move! I don't want to have tried to save you only for you to die from lack of water!"

"But Kyuubi, living is all well and good, but what do I have to live for? My life was back in Konoha, and even if I do survive, I have nothing to do here. If I don't die of thirst first I may die of boredom later."

"Alright kit, I am going to spell out everything and give you your new and most likely permanent S-rank mission."

"Yosh! I'm ready!"

"Ok then kit, first, you had no life whatsoever in Konoha. Everyone hated you, called you demon, and the people who did like you had alternative reasons for doing so. Second, everyone here has no idea who you are, where you come from, what you can do, or even your name. You can have a whole new start here, and no one hates you for something you had no control over. In fact, no one here hates you period. And now third and finally, your mission. Uzumaki Naruto, your S-rank mission is to find and destroy the other half of whatever is affecting me. It will most likely try to come after us anyway. If you destroy it, the other half inside me may die as well, leaving you with nothing more than a spirit inside your body. I may even be able to get out afterwards with a physical body, although I won't have any of the power I did have if I can."

"Why is that?"

"It's because when the 'virus' possessed me, it ate away all my real chakra and power, and put the demon chakra there in its place. If I do escape without the virus I will only have enough chakra to live on, if any."

"That is very sad. It sounds like you're damned if you do, damned if you don't."

"Not really, I'll be much happier outside of here with no power, than inside with it. Now that's enough talk. Lets move kit!

"Yes sir Kyuubi-sama!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Why did you call me Kyuubi-sama?"

"Well, I don't have a Hokage anymore. So I guess I report to you right?"

"I guess so. Just one more name to add to the ever growing list."

"Yeah! I think now I have Kyuubi-sama, Foxy-sama, furball, jackass, asswipe, bastard, demon lord, and super foxy-sama!"

"Please someone kill me now..."

"Forget it Kyuubi! You have me motivated now, and im not going to die anytime soon, whether you like it or not!"

With those last words Uzumaki Naruto walked off into the distance, while having no sweet clue as to what was ahead for him, or which way he was going.
