"So," Kurama said. "Are you ready to start?"
"Yes," Kushina said.
Kurama began using his chakra to shift Naruto into a more perfect Jinchuriki. The plan was that he would have heightened senses, the ability to communicate with animals, heightened stealth, even the ability to plan on a level never seen before. The process, however, would take a week and Kushina was due in a matter of days so Kurama had to work fast in order to get the change done before she gave birth. Speeding the process up would invariably kill the infant if it wasn't Kushina Uzumaki's son.
Kushina sat on the bed in Lotus position and entered her mindscape where Kurama was chained to a sphere of stone. It wasn't the most comfortable position but it was comfortable enough that Kurama was fairly content. Kurama began funneling his chakra into an image of Naruto in Kushina's womb and began using it to augment the child. Kushina was there to make sure he kept his word but also knew that he wouldn't risk angering her. After about an hour of watching Kurama closely, she finally went back to the real world and was slammed with labor pains.
"Crap!" Kushina said. "Hurry up Kurama!"
Kurama sped up to doing it as fast as he could just as Minato and several ANBU arrived. Kushina wasn't exactly sure how they knew she was in labor but it didn't matter. They took her away from the village so that Kurama wouldn't be able to destroy anything if he broke out. Kurama worked furiously to finish changing Naruto before the child was born. As the ANBU arrived at the area chosen for her to give birth, Minato returned to the village to tell the shinobi to be ready. The moment he was gone, however, a Fire Style jutsu killed all of the ANBU and a man in a long, black, hooded cloak and a yellow-orange mask with lines on the right side that looked slightly similar to a facial scar appeared. He walked over and smiled then used a seal to restrain Kushina and undid the seal. Kurama's chakra boiled out first forming his head. The moment Kurama looked at him, the man used a Genjutsu to place Kurama under his control then Kurama finished leaving Kushina and attacked the village.
Present
"I see," Naruto said. "So the process was never finished?"
"No," Kurama said. "And when you used my power, it continued but with less control. From now on, any time you use my power, you will be altered. I don't know what changes will be made but I fear that by the end, you may turn into a miniature me complete with no conscience at all. You will become a monster and you will kill anyone and anything that crosses your path."
"Could you take control?" Naruto asked.
"Possible," Kurama said. "But I could not return you to your own mind. You would, for all intents and purposes, be a tailed beast on a rampage. And no one would be powerful enough to stop you."
"I see," Naruto said. "Then I guess I'll need to use only my power."
