Chapter 3: The Tiny Vessel (Naruto Part 1)


He refused, absolutely refused! How dare they, sealing the great and all powerful fox into a weak human new born. If Shukaku knew, he would never let the fox live it down. What a disgrace, to have been freed then forced back into tiny infant.

It was some kind of joke, one that did not make him laugh. Going through the conception and birth to only be within the very child as well. There is a good reason Kurama had none children of his own; this was why.

The kid would never know the horror the fox knew behind his birth. He wasn't allowed to. Kurama didn't feel any guilty for killing the infant's parents; only hatred towards his parents. It was their fault the infant and he were forcefully joined together. He was only hated the masked man for foolish taking control of him.

All of his and the villagers' hate could not reach his young vessel though. The little infant was protected by his parents' love.

Despite his efforts to escape, the seal was too strong and he was too weak for the time being. It was also pointless to try and speak with the infant, human children are far too feeble. So the fox waited from within his cell till his tiny vessel was old enough.

His own life depended on the care of others now; his vessel in no way could care for himself. However, the villagers feared the great fox, therefore none of them would dare help him. None would care for the infant. So from within, he watched as the Hokage took care of his young vessel, since no one else would dare touch the infant.

When his tiny vessel cried, Kurama could never get any sleep. If he was the one causing the pain, he wouldn't mind it however the sound was worse than the noises from when the infant was conceived. It was agony when the infant wailed.

His little vessel would cry for anything and everything. The fox sighed, thinking human babies are too feeble. But the older humans weren't any better, how could they not know the child wanted to be changed rather than fed? Or that he was lonely? He knew of course what his vessel wanted from each of his cries.

Kurama wouldn't admit to to himself, nonetheless anyone else, that his new vessel could be just a little bit amusing. The infant did after had the most "powerful" man of the annoying village trying to change his diaper.

Like his caretaker, Kurama could not wait till the infant grew up…
