I DON'T OWN NARUTO!

AN: I got a few questions about this, so here are the answers.

*Naruto is afraid that they will kill him or something if they discover his powers.

*He has 2 personalities: Fearless and Fearful (he has full control over both and switching between them.)

I groggily woke up and sat up. Or at least tried to. The world started spinning and I collapsed on the bed with my eyes closed. I put my hand on my forehead and groaned. I was indulging in a massive migraine when I heard a door open. Not even bothering to look up I simply laid there, shielding my eyes with me arm. The shuffling of feet was heard. 3 people judging by their footsteps. The hum from the lights above me created a steady sound to concentrate on. Anything to ignore the people next to me. After a few seconds I opened my eyes and looked at the people in the room. Hokage, Jiraiya and a blonde I didn't know. He had long blonde hair and dull blue eyes. Not anywhere near as bright as mine. Getting tired of the silence the blonde spoke.

"Hello Naruto. I'm Yamanaka Inoichi. Nice to meet you."

"Hello. I'm Naruto. I don't know if it will be nice to meet you or not yet."

He didn't stop smiling. "All I'm here to do is make sure you aren't lying and to make sure you are ok."

"I understand." It was time to be strong. I took a deep breathe and switched to the other me. The fearless one. I looked at everyone in the eyes instead of around the room. "What do you want to know?"

Inoichi seemed surprised at my tone of voice, but quickly recovered. Smiling again. "Well Jiraiya-sama and hokage-sama have the questions."

I turned my hard gaze over to them and waited. The hokage spoke first. "Is your real name Naruto?"

I looked at him confused. "Yes?"

Inoichi nodded. "Good. Now Inoichi has access to your surface thoughts and intentions."

I blinked. "I understand."

"Next question. How and Why did you hurt my ninja?"

"The first was in the alleyway. He was touched by my chakra shield. I expel my chakra and net it back together outside of my body. If unknown chakra touches it it will be burned or incinerated. The two ninja in the square were both hit in their solar plexus, rendering them paralyzed."

Jiraiya looked intrigued and spoke. "I have never heard of such a technique. Who taught you?"

I looked at him blankly. "No one."

Jiraiya's mouth hung open when Inoichi nodded. "How?"

"It happened when a life was in danger."

"Not your's? Then whose?"

I looked down remembering what happened. "A girl from the orphanage. She was going to be stabbed in her arm and I wouldn't be able to get in front of her in time. So I instinctively expelled my chakra. I released too much and tried to bring it back, forming a shield wherever it reached. In front of the girl."

"I see….Do you think it is possible for other people to learn how to do that?"

"If they have enough chakra and are in tune with it. A strong connection is needed for it."

"How big can the shield be?"

"As large as your chakra reserves can handle. Mine can spread to surround the hokage tower…maybe a bit larger."

"Amazing. Sensei, that could make our ninja so much more powerful!"

"Maybe. But the theory must be tested first. It could have something to do with Kyubbi, don't forget."

"True." Jiraiya nodded. He put his finger on his chin and considered this.

I was getting nervous again but didn't let it show. "You know Kyubbi?"

The hokage looked at me. "Yes. If you would please show us your stomach." I did. "Now use a small amount of chakra." Again, I did. There was a collective gasp from the 3 visitors in my room. Well…it wasn't mine per say but I was here first!

Jiraiya was the first to speak. "You did use the Kyubbi's chakra right?"

"Yes."

Inoichi looked shocked and stuttered. "H-he's speaking the truth, but then. How can this be?"

"Young man." Sarutobi pinned me with a serious face. No jokes. "Did you release the Kyubbi in the courtyard?"

"Free him? What are you talking about? He was always free." Another round of gasps.

"Then, how did you use it's power?"

"He let me borrow it." I stressed the he. Kyubbi had a personality like everybody else.

"Borrow! How? He wasn't anywhere near you?"

"Yeah he was. You just couldn't see him."

"See him? I'm sure we would notice a giant nine tailed fox in our village." Sarutobi spoke in a clipped tone. He was becoming agitated.

"No. Not if he became a spirit. An essence."

"Are you telling me you saw it's spirit?" He looked at me skeptically. His lips in a grim line and eyes calculating.

"Him." I hissed. "And yes. I can also talk to him." I stated matter of factly.

"Inoichi?"

"I sense no deception." They all looked at me shocked, until Inoichi continued. "However…"

Sarutobi looked sharply at him. "What?"

"He seems reluctant to explain the full extent of his sight. There is fear and anxiety there."

They looked at me and I glared at Inoichi. Who suppressed a shiver under it. Who knew what they would do to me after this?

"Do not withhold any information from us, or we'll have to use other means to get it."

My hands started to shake slightly. Unnoticed by the untrained eye. Unfortunately everyone in the room was trained and saw that. Sarutobi decided to use that fear to his advantage.

"Ibiki is the head of the interrogation department, and I'm sure he would love to meet you." Sarutobi truly felt bad for doing this to the kid, but he needed to make sure the village was safe.

"Ibiki….he has scars all over his head right? A bandana and was a proctor for the chunin exams?"

"Yes. How did you know?"

"I was told by….I'm sorry, what is your name?" I turned my head to a seemingly empty space in the room. "Oh. I was told by Isana. (made up character)"

"What? But she died on a mission!"

Jiraiya, who had calmly observed the conversation, had an idea of what was going on. "What does she look like?"

"Black hair, shoulder length. Petite and slim build. Green eyes."

HE nodded his head. "I see now. You see the dead don't you?" Gasps.

"Yes. And ghouls, monsters, demons, ect."

"That explains how he knew about Obito. Am I correct in assuming they can possess you?"

"Yes. Now that you know, what are you going to do with me?"

Sarutobi, over his shock, spoke. "What do you mean?"

I looked at him sadly. "I'm abnormal. A monster. In storybooks monsters are killed."

"You aren't a monster. For now I am going to discuss your future with these two."

They filed out of the room and left me alone to my thoughts. The low hum of the lights was beginning to piss me off.

In the hallway:

Jiraiya had just finished reinforcing the seals around the room. Chakra restraint, silencing and locks on doors/windows. No one could get in or out unless they had help from a seal master. Turning back around he saw two very confused faces. Inoichi knew what the boy said was true but he couldn't figure how. Sarutobi was thinking the same thing along with the benefits of having the sight. How many dangers had remained unseen until now. He had never even heard of ghouls before. What are they? Jiraiya felt sympathy for the kid in the room. He had an extraordinary power that he was afraid to use because of abuse from an orphanage. Then he is threatened into explaining it in a new place, having no idea what was going to happen to him next. Walking over Jiraiya broke the others out of their thoughts.

"So. Now we know what's going on, but that raises even more questions!"

Inoichi spoke solemnly, eyes downcast. "Indeed. How do you think he sees these things? He didn't add chakra to his eyes at all."

"That is a good question, and judging from his thoughts/feelings on that. He probably doesn't know at all. The only place that can answer that is his mind. When he first remembered seeing things."

Inoichi nodded, and Sarutobi spoke. "Then it's decided. Before we proceed Inoichi will enter his mind. Your mission will be to find out how his sight works and to determine if he is stable."

Back in the room:

I was sitting on the bed waiting. After what seemed like hours, when really it was only 15 minutes, they walked back in. Going back to their previous positions surrounding the bed. Jiraiya nodded towards the Yamanaka. It seemed they had some sort of plan. If the nod back was any hint.

Inoichi cleared his throat and looked at me. I turned towards him as well. "Naruto." His hands were making strange signs. "I'm going to enter your mind. Just to make sure you are telling the truth."

I was silent until I whispered, "…..be prepared"

And with that the last hand sign was made. Inoichi slumped in his seat an Jiraiya caught him before he could hit the floor. For a brief second I saw his soul leave his body and enter mine. So that's how it works. I wonder if they realize that. Sarutobi had close his eyes and was leaning back in his chair, waiting. Jiraiya had propped Inoichi up in a way that wouldn't cause him to fall. Guess I should go give him the grand tour. I snorted and closed my eyes, entering my mindscape. Something that I was very familiar with when I allowed spirits to enter my body. (Ewww~ that sounds so wrong! XD )

Appearing in the center of my mind, I looked for Inoichi. It wasn't hard to find him. He was gaping, with his mouth open, in awe of my mindscape. In front of us was a small lake that glittered silver in the darkness of night. It was always night here. A full moon was reflected intensely on its surface, but wasn't present in pitch black sky. No stars at all. We were standing in the meadow of knee high grass and ferns that was around the lake. When the plants moved or were stepped on they would glow a light blue-green color. Small animal trails ran threw it from previous guests in my mind. Surrounding all of that was a forest. One that seemed to have no end. Tall trees stood tall. They shone white with silver leaves. Some had silver vines around their trunks. They seemed ethereal. A gust of wind blew and the trees sang a song. At least, it sounded like it.

(Play some kind of violin music.)

Inoichi stood stock-still only moving his head around to take in his surroundings. Of all the minds he had seen this one was truly magical. Out of the blue he heard a whistle sound. Turning around he saw me standing there using a grass whistle. It sounded…..sad. The trees seemed to respond with a soothing tune. I smiled and walked towards Inoichi.

Inoichi POV:

Naruto started to walk toward me after he whistled. His mindscape was beautiful, but he seemed like an angel in this place. His hair and eyes shone brightly through the glow of the plants as he moved. A short white yukata that seemed to have a blue tint to it in the light, was cut above his knees. A dark blue obi made a large bow behind him and continued on, swaying and blowing in the wind. A bell used by priests on demons was on his ankle. It was supposed to be used as notification that a demon was near. It chimed a high sound with each step. All that was missing was wings.

Naruto POV:

Once I was in front of Inoichi I spoke. "Welcome to my mindscape. Do you like it?"

A gaping mouth was his answer. I raised an eyebrow. "Y-yes. It's beautiful. Truly magnificent."

I chuckled quietly. Here I was my true self. Calm. "Thank-you. I will be guiding you in my memories. This is a very dangerous place."

Inoichi's expression turned grim. "Dangerous?"

"Yes. Unlike most mindscapes, mine is subtle. It attacks through grace and misconceptions."

"Such as?"

I snapped my fingers and a silver leaf blew into my hand. I looked at Inoichi. "What do you think of this?"

"Huh? It's a leaf. One that makes music, but that is all."

I nodded. "Is it weak?"

He looked at me questioningly. "Yes?"

I looked him dead in the eyes. "Wrong." I grabbed the leaf in a tight grip and dragged it's edge across my palm. I started to bleed. My face remained blank and I looked back at Inoichi's surprised face.

"W-what? How?"

I sighed. "Like I said. My mind attacks with subtle grace. All of these leaves are lined with razor sharp ridges that can cut through steel. They cut flesh easily."

"What happens to it afterwards?"

I glanced back to the leaf. "It dies."

Before he could ask what I meant, the leaf had crumbled into silver dust and blew away with the wind. It seemed to dance as it went, joining the lake. That is where the silver sparkles go.

"What else should I know about?" He was serious now.

"…..Nothing. As long as you are with me, you should be fine. But when I say not to touch something, don't. Some things are very dangerous when released."

Inoichi understood and nodded to me, determinedly. Satisfied, I walked to the bank of the lake. I warned him not to touch the water unless he wanted to be dragged down to it's depths and drowned. He was shocked but slowly nodded. Nodding back, I turned towards the water. Swimming throughout the water were koi fish of different colors. Each fish represented a memory and the color/colors of it represented the emotion. Most of them were black. I explained this and Inoichi told me he understood. Lots of minds did the same thing with doors or something.

Black: hatred, desperation

Blue: sadness

Orange: happiness

Pink: love

Red: rage, anger

I tentively stepped onto the surface of the lake. A small ripple spread across the water as the bell on my ankle chimed. I stepped forward making more ripples on the surface until I reached the center of the lake. The koi didn't even look at me. They jut kept swimming beneath me. I twirled back around, facing the Yamanaka. His face only showed the seriousness of what was happening.

"My chakra is needed to access my memories, so do not be alarmed at what happens next."

"Ok." He was slightly apprehensive, a curious look on his face.

I bent forward and crossed my arms in an X formation. My hands on opposite shoulders. I gripped them until my knuckles turned white. A glow started coming from my back. Suddenly two glowing blue wings appeared behind me. They were made of pure chakra. (like Jak and Daxter 3 wings) I panted slightly and stood back up. I had fallen from the strain it took to form them. Glancing back towards shore I spoke in a harmonic voice.

"What do you want to see first?"

AN: Ok, so I realized something in this chapter. If Kyubbi wasn't sealed then the yondaime would still be alive. I might bring him back in a later chapter. He could have been on a mission or something. What do you guys think? Dead or Alive? Please review and favorite! :P
