"Naruto..."
There was a disembodied voice off in the distance. He can't open his eyes for he is far too tired.
"Hey, Naruto..."
The voice is calling to him again followed with a low rumble. He peeks open, seeing the golden gates of the cage deep within his mindscape.
"What is it?" Naruto calls out cautiously.
Red eyes peek out from the darkness, a cruel smile somewhere beneath them, "Want to hear a joke?"
"Uh..." He blinks for he is not sure what this is all about before shrugging; he always loved a good joke, "Yeah, sure."
The beeping of his alarm shook him from the mindscape, eyes shooting open only to be assaulted by the blinding sun.
Kurama laughs in the back of his head while Naruto just groans, upset that he could not have heard the beast's joke.
