"Speech"

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or get any profit from writing this story. I do this for my own purpose of having fun.

The six shinobi stayed after moving 30 yards away and sat waiting to see what would happen to the young teen that they had just commended no more then a few mins. ago.

The good moods were gone no more tears just regret.

The boy that had suffered so much in his life was now screaming at his incredible pain

The boy they had just STAPLED to the floor with wooden stakes was now screaming at the even worst pain of the constant malevolent chakra tearing through his system.

All they could do was sit and hold there head in shame as they watched the field around Naruto's cabin slowly wither into a desolate state of death and despair.

Most of the area was quiet save the screaming

Till Iruka broke the silence and stated in sad tone

"At least… the best we can hope for is … that he is through the worst of it"

To which Kakashi not even attempting to hide his emotions responded "we all know Naruto's life to well to expect it would end with just physical pain…"

Causing the other shinobi to bow there heads even lower in respect.

At the Hokages office

An angry crowd from the restaurant along with a few others are in the office with the shinobi Sakura knocked out before as there obvious leader

HOKAGE SAMA PLEASE COME TO YOUR SENSE'S

"…" merely giving an angry glare to mask her worry

Hokage how can you sit here as the demon runs around with that amount of power he could destroy this entire village!

… That's a good point but I have a better point

"Naruto WONT AND NEVER COULD DESTROY THIS VILLAGE his personality wouldn't allow it"

How can you say that knowing ultimately power is what taints most shinobi in this world from Uchia Itachi to Orochimaru him self. Once they had enough power they turned on this village and look what happened now. The entire Uchia clan is now gone save two and we just barely regained are strength after orochimaru's attack-

Not able to stand it anymore Tsunade cut it

YOU ARE NOT TOO COMPARE NARUTO WITH OROCHIMARU OR BETER YET ANY ONE THAT I DEEM A MONSTER. ANY MORE AND ILL BE SURE TO HAVE YOU IN CHAINS.

Taken back for a moment "with all due respect-

"WITH ALL DUE RESPECT DOENT MEAN YOU CAN SAY WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO DISHONOR. ME IT JUST MEANS YOU ACKNOWLEDGE MY SUPERIORITY!"

Looking up at the clock she is angered even more so at the fact she knew Naruto was out of the genjutsu and she wasn't there to explain the condition the village was in

Turning into a more stern way of talking she retorted hinting extreme hate in her voice

"Now that I'm late for something very important I want to know how this subject came up all of a sudden and why it's so important now other wise I might have to enlist the law of the 3rd Hokage and give you all the fitting punishment"

Showing a sign of fear by the whole group they explained what had happened at the restaurant

"If we weren't told that the demon loses control we wouldn't even be here right now"

How can this of happened… how could Sakura my own apprentice be so ignorant to not make one but two idiotically obvious mistakes…and how did Shikamaru kun and Neji san take it?

"Well if you know that much then I suppose you should know that we are already working on the solution and draining the Kyubi chakra as we speak"

Seeing the question the group was about to ask she continued on

"We didn't do it before because of the extreme danger it would have put on Naruto... NOW with that done I have to see your supposed demon and the pink haired girl you had mentioned so… GET OUT"

The entire group walked out happy thinking of how they would finally be rid of the demon believing with its chakra gone it would be like a de-clawed kitten

But all Tsunade could think of was her disappointment in Sakura and worry for Naruto so she soon made a kage bunshin to take her place in her office as she went to find Naruto

Back in the forest

The evil aura had spread from the cabin even further causing Kakashi, Iruka, Shizune, Gai Yamato and Asuma to fall back even further back into the forest.

But still if anything the mood had worsened Naruto's screams had grown even louder then before and it was easy to hear his throat was taking a beating from it.

"So Yamato how much longer till this stops…" Shizune asked with a sad voice

"I wouldn't know I can dampen a biju's chakra sure but that doesn't mean I understand it. His chakra as far as I can tell is fighting the secondary seals we made and its still pushing back"

"Also" Kakashi added "we still don't know how we can end this or even if it will. Kyubi's chakra is as far as we can tell unlimited for all we know all we are doing is stalling just dragging out the pain…"

"Don't say that come on if we don't have hope how is Naruto supposed to!" Iruka added encouragingly

"Besides what happened to him being the Hokage and his dreams you encouraged back there don't tell me you were lying!" Shizune added heart broken

"What I said back there is true I have no doubt in my mind that if Naruto were to continue on the path he has set forth so far he will undoubtedly become a great Hokage and surpass the 4th … but-… that is with out throwing the fact of the Kyubi into the mix. Not only is there a chance he wont be taken in because of the council's worries on him being the demon… but also because we don't know what will happen in the next few days-"

"It doesn't mater Naruto is strong he will pass this!"

Looking back everyone sees Tsunade looking proud without a doubt on her face

"We can hope" added Kakashi

Giving a stern look she continued

"So what's the situation so far?"

"When we got here we took Naruto into the cabin we nailed Naruto's palms to the floor so the Kyubi couldn't cause any more damage. And then drew the seal to boost Yamato's sealing power"

"After that we just added more power to the stakes as Shizune and the rest created a genjutsu to null Naruto's pain" Iruka put in

"Then finally after we were out of chakra and solider pills and woke him up giving him the speech incase you weren't here in time then backed off to avoid the poison" Kakashi finished

"How did he take it" with a lil worry

"Just as you'd expect of Naruto. Flying colors ha- he actually was more worried about our safety then his own"

Smiling Shizune thought of how proud she was of her little brother

"QUITE TOUCHING I COULDN'T HELP BUT THROW A TEAR FOR THE YOUNG BOY!"

(Causing everyone to sweat drop and look at the green clad jounin)

"Yeah well… after that all that has happened was the poison field slowly grew causing us to back off even more and it seems the pain in his arms has increased seeing as the screaming grew louder"

"Screaming? I don't hear anything?"

Looking confused everyone looked at the Blond haired sannin like she was crazy till they realized

Why isn't he screaming! What happened to Naruto!

Everyone turned around and looked with terror as they noticed how dense the field of chakra was now rather then spread it seemed to cease growing and just continue to concentrate its power

"This is terrible we don't know if it's this barrier that's stopping us from hearing Naruto or if he passed our!"

Or worst most of them thought

"Kakashi how about the sharingan!" Tsunade asked with worry

"I'm trying but … it's so powerful I can't see through it the chakra is just masking the entire field"

"We Need to save him lets hurry!"

Yamato then used the last of his strength to use his myokuton to wrap around the Hokage's arms to keep her from entering

"IT DOESN'T MATER HOW STRONG OF A MEDIC YOU ARE WITH THAT CHARKA YOUD DIE THE INSTANT YOUR BODY CAME IN CONTACT WITH IT"

"When Naruto was at 4 tails it was hard to breathe this is probably 7 or 8 right now…"

"Be strong for us Hokage Sama you're the one we are supposed to lean on in this village…"

"BUT IF I WOULD DIE IN AN INSTANT WHAT ABOUT NARUTO" she turned around in tears to yell

"Naruto has a natural defense to the demon chakra I don't know how strong it is but it means there is at least a chance… now calm dow-"

Before he could finish Yamato was cut off by the sight of the dome slowly shrink on to the cabin Naruto was laying in until it faded from existence

It was an unnatural silence all the animals had left long ago and now the shinobi were holding there breath in anticipation to see how the young gennin was.

BOOM!

The ground was turned into a large crater the nearby trees were either flattened or burned and a large pillar of chakra shot into the air easily visible by the village

The group could just stand in horror as the pillar of demonic chakra continued for what seemed impossible

The entire ANBU squad had shown up in a mater of minutes along with many shinobi from the village.

They continued to watch in horror if anything the demon chakra was GROWING!

"So the demon shows his true face" an angry jounin said having always had a personal feeling Naruto was the Kyubi

No one could even respond to it being so worried

Then the chakra once again collapsed to the earth as if it were a meteor or something the crater deepened a couple hundred feet but the radius never grew

And all the people did was watch in horror as a red glow could be seen coming from inside the crater

Many shinobi soon left remembering the strength the Kyubi once before and decided not to risk there lives unnecessarily

And soon all that was left were "Kakashi, Shizune, Iruka, Gai, Yamato, Asuma, Tsunade, Anko, half the ANBU Ebisu, a large hand full of brave jounin / oblivious chunnin & the finally the rookie 9 + Tenten, Neji, lee and there parents

With the jounin's all thinking to themselves if this is the true Kyubi then this weak number of shinobi is pointless

A hand slowly reached above the side of the crater

It was obvious it wasn't that of a normal human, looking extremely animalistic

"ALL THOSE UNDER THE AGE OF 17 AND LOWER ARE TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!" Tsunade bellowed

"What's going on Hokage sama"? An ANBU questioned worryingly

"I SAID LEAVE NOW!"

"With all due respect you can't defeat this… thing the chakra level is inhuman"

"Hyuga Hiashi looked at the crater and said the one thing all the adults were thinking"

"I take it Uzumaki Naruto has shown his true colors"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All of Naruto's friends looked on with a mix of worry and confusion except for Neji Shika and Sakura

"What?" Hinata asked startled "I know something serious came up when he had to break his word to me about going out for dinner... but for this?

Then the figure pulled itself out of the crater there stood what appeared to be a monster

5 tails covered in orange fur dark long menacing claws on each hand and what was left of Naruto's spiked hair was a back length mane of hair.

His legs were limp and his head was hung over the only thing that were moving were his arms with the hole from the sealing stakes still in his hand

He used his arms to sit up as he sat on his arms it was as if he was unconscious and everyone would have agreed if it weren't for the body's hands were making shinobi chakra hand signs.

Finish with a crushing slap to the ground whole opened in the ground causing the kanji of "voice" written a top of "sound" to appear

Then in the most terrifying voice ever heard a message came from the ground

AHHHHH HOW LONG I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS DAY AHH AMAZING TO FEEL THE FRESH AIR EVEN IF IT IS ONLY MY ARMS.

Everyone who knew Naruto's secret looked ashamed of themselves and couldn't bear to lift there eyes to the sight of there demonic shinobi

While the rest of Naruto's friends just tried to understand what was going on

"N-Naruto… kun?" Hinata asked in a worried tone

Narutos face slowly grew more demonic his ear became slightly pointy the bone structure morphed to a more feral state and his whisker marks had now become slightly indented into his face

The arms on the demon pulsed a little larger slightly trying to intimidate the group in front of him the demon lifted its head with its eyes closed till is snapped them open showing the same eyes they had once known before almost mocking the sky with its color

But it didn't show the usual emotions of happiness or even hint at his lucky go happy attitude but an extreme sense of panic and worry scanning the group of people in front of him

The eye pulsed and then receded into its demonic red slited form causing many in the group to step back

The seal spoke again

HAHA SO! These are the ones the kit is so close to the ones he holds dear I think I might enjoy this even more HAHA what a great opening act for the slaughter this world so justly deserves

Most of Naruto's friends responded with a pleading cry

"N-Naruto" lee asked

"What's wrong" came Choji

Hinata had tears in her eyes

"WHATS WRONG WITH HIM!" Came the loud dog boy Kiba

The rest of the teens stood quiet

"So where is Naruto Kyubi?" Kakashi asked not showing any emotion this time

Most of the children were shocked even Shino showed a large sign of surprise

Hinata couldn't even breathe

"He's in here" pointing to his head

"Were sharing our senses right now so he can hear y-"

"NARUTO FIGHT IT THEN THIS ISNT YOU DON'T LET THIS MONSTER CONTROL YOUR BODY PLEASE!"

Everyone was taken aback by the young Hyuga girl's response no one had ever heard her speak so loud before and to Naruto no less

Even Kyubi looked shocked

"Well seeing as you're the first one to respond with my aura lashing at you I take it you have one of the strongest connections… ha from the kids memories it doesn't seem he has known you very long and that he sees you as incredibly weak. So it's one sided affection I take it ha-ha ah well ill be kind enough to end your pitiful life now"

Hinata was almost in tears at this statement

O-one… one sided affection but that means… that means … my life has … what has it amounted to the one person i've wanted to see me the one person… and then the person who can read his mind tells me I don't… I don't even register in his memories…

She was about to cry till Shino walked up along with Kurenai

In a calm voice Shino responded

"You know nothing of Hinata Sama or how she has suffered in her life. Nor do you know any of us except through some memories you have obviously twisted to emotionally hurt us"

"We know Naruto better then to believe these words and we know Hinata Sama better then you will ever possibly know to be able to hold her defense. If what you say was true then Naruto wouldn't even deserve to be able to look at her!"

Everyone was stunned to hear the bug boy talk so much

Then Kurenai piped in

"WE KNOW WHO WE ARE AND WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE A FOX IN SHEEPS CLOTHING YOU CAN HOLD ANY OF US BACK FROM ATLEAST ATTEMPTING TO SAVE NARUTO"

Hinata looked up amazed the way her two team mates were treating her. And Kiba just stared in aw trying to understand what was going on between Naruto and Hinata.

HA ah well it doesn't mater what you think all I truly care about is making this boy feel the pain I have had for so long inside the belly of this kid

But awh it seems your speech has really moved, him well I guess it will just make it more painful

Kyubi reaches for his right eye and waves his hand, over it where it instantly turned back into Naruto's)

WHEN I HAVE HIM WATCH YOU ALL DIE

Kyubi then stabbed himself in the legs causing the immense aura to spread throughout the legs of Naruto's body allowing him to finally move

Kyubi gets up on all fours stretching out his legs looks up and screams with Naruto's own voice now LET THE FUN BEGIN

Kyubi instantly sets off for Kurenai and Shino blocking Hinata where sends out a chakra claw to slash the group away

Grabbing Hinata they jump away in the knick of time to avoid any damage

"Watch out the chakra is poisonous" Sakrua warned

Then running up Tsunade and her young apprentice run up and punch Naruto in the face sending him rolling back wards.

Ha-ha naughty naught remember were sharing the senses any pain … no matter how insignificant to me comes full force to the kit so by all means continue

Kyubi flashes away the center of the group and sends out a burst of charka scattering the whole group knocking Hinata's group along with Tsunade and Sakura to fall down into the pit the demon chakra had made earlier

ANBU was scattered across the forest and everyone else was split up into small groups

Kyubi then put on a evil sneer and ran off towards Kakashi and Iruka ripping off three heads of ANBU and miscellaneous ninja the demon went through a bunch of seals and shot out and yelled Jigoku Katon: blanketing death

Out came a black and gold sheet of fire which came down on top of them barely getting escaped

Hey uncle, hey dad with a maniacal smile

They were shocked to understand they were thought so highly of by the young boy then shook there heads out of it

"Shut up demon" came from the two sensei

Oh such harsh words I think you're hurting his feelings

To which Kyubi points to his blue eye which was crying

The two sensei had the face of the worst possible emotional pain

Ha-ha I love it keep it going I WANT HIM SCREAMING! AH IM GOING TO ENJOY THIS SO MUCH

The blonde demon then brought his hands together to show an oh to familiar sign causing the two sensei to look even more hurt

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu

Now stood 6 demon Naruto's smiling an even larger demonic smile then before

Inside the Naruto's dreamscape

"RUN GO AWAY I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU"

One eye could clearly see the fight taking place outside and the other was trapped in the never ending tunnels of his mind where he went running to find the Kyubi's cage

A few mins. later still watching the fight through his eye he finally found the cage

To his horror there was the room the gates to the cage wide open and all that stood there was demonic Naruto starting with an insane amount of killer intent

"…damn fox"

"Stinking human"

"I want my body back"

"To bad what do you expect after being locked inside of this cage for 15 years I get 6 minutes out and you think I'm going back in? You will have it soon enough until then I'm taking over"

I said I want my body back and-

AND LIKE I SAID your waiting a few years i'm in control and-

"AND (trying to imitate the Kyubi) IM GETTING CONTROL BACK"

"DON'T THINK IT'S WITHOUT A FIGHT!"

The demon Naruto turned into the same form Naruto was when he fought orochimaru with 4 tails

Naruto made 7 kage bunshins and turned two into kunai's and charged also

One of the kage bunshins punched Kyubi in the head failing to do any damage and merely burned its hand and "poofed" away

Seeing this Naruto made even more bunshins to turn into kunai's and parried up the remaining 4 bunshins into teams of two making a square around him

The Kyubi's tail swung for the back right Naruto which surprisingly dodged and then jumped where all the clones went for a limb and then finally the real Naruto went with a kick to the face

Naruto surprised with his own speed and strength looked back surprise

Ah… so in this world you get quite the advantage eh… well I have the other 5 tails in the real world so I can't help it.

Lets regains his composure and sends the rest of the clones up to do another rendan against the monster the 4 Naruto's turned the Kyubi into a ping pong ball which they sent back and forth through kicks till finally the real Naruto once again attacked with a kunai and attempt to cut down the monsters spine

But instead the fox dodges out of his way only to have a entire cut off at the base

The cut causes a huge explosion sending all of the bunshins Naruto and Kyubi in different directions.

Naruto stood up soon after hunched over asking

What happened?

Until he noticed the Kyubi riving in pain screaming curse words as he reverted to his 3 tail state

AHHH HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE AH YOU INSOLENT HUMAN ALL OF THE PEOPLE YOU EVER CAIRED FOR WILL DIE BY YOUR HAND

Naruto then looked and saw the tail laying on the ground of the huge chamber and without thinking ran to it

Seeing this Kyubi gets up and tries as hard as he can to reach the tail diving for it in a last ditch effort for the tail they land

Then a great light exploded in the center above the two

Back in the real world

Naruto had just cut a tail off in the mindscape

When…

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The numerous Kyubi/Naruto clones had just doubled over in pain and started thrashing at what was happening inside of Naruto's body

Tsunade stopped mid charge to see the young demon and its other clones writhe on the floor

The clones soon disappeared and Kyubi stood up looking extremely tired

Why was he screaming I thought he said he wouldn't feel anything?

THAT BRAT MY TAIL AH I CAN'T FIGHT HIM ANY LONGER I NEED HIM TO GET AWAY FROM MY POWER BEFORE HE TAKES IT ALL

HA well ill be handling over full axial skeleton to Naruto now so he can get a better watch

The demons hair slowly receded along with the fangs and eye color

Leaving a typically normal looking face on the boy (save for his left eye still being demonic and his skin still a little dark)

"EVERYONE PLEASE LEAVE I CAN TALK NOW BUT I CANT CONTROL MY BODY STILL" (tears were welling up in his eyes)

Naruto was then charging for Tsunade

"We aren't leaving you to become this Naruto" came the calm reply of the Godaime

"Your coming back we will find a way" stated a calm Kakashi

Naruto soon got in range with Tsunade and shot out a chakra claw going straight for her

She dodged to the side avoiding it with room to spare till it whip lashed back around and impaled her back with a shallow burn

"HOKAGE SAMA" came chorused by many of the shinobi seeing there strongest warrior taken down on the first shot ran in to avenge there leader

Naruto's tails swung around and knocked away about 20 people

Flying back about 20 yards they landed hard with a few broken bones but got up any way to finish the fight that was started 15 years ago

Sakura was working tag team with Shizune to take the poison out of the squirming Tsunade

The next wave of shinobi came at Naruto till the Kyubi's chakra burst out in another dome sending back all that stood now where the personal friends of Naruto's and there parents

"PLEASE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DIE FOR A PROBLEM I HAVE RUN PLEASE" (now openly crying) "WHY AM I POSSIBLY WORTH IT WHY SHOULD I EVEN BE ALIVE IF…if all it does is make people sad in the end"

"Naruto kun don't say that it's not like you!"

He twisted his head over his shoulder see Hinata crying and screaming

"But… if I bring pain to people then it's my responsibility it's my fault I'm no better then a criminal"

"Yes you are because you don't do it on purpose" came Shino

"And besides… if anyone has felt pain its you" came Iruka

"It may be troublesome… but I believe its are turn to protect you"

"THERE ALL CORRECT NARUTO" came Gai with a approving yell from lee

"Just do what you can as we help ok" came Iruka again with a nod from Shizune

"Th-thanks guys…" came the crying Naruto

OH ENOUGH ALREADY YOU'VE SAID YOUR LAST WORDS NOW PREPARE TO WATCH THEM DIE KIT

Kyubi then charged for his final assault of the battle

Splitting up into 3 more Kyubi's once again

Going for the small a small group including the entire battles battalion of Aburume, Inuzuka, and Hyuga clans.

The ground shook and rose up to swallow men and women whole. Aburume's continued to attempt using any possible strategy they had from sleeping pollen to chakra draining but nothing would work causing them to step back from the fight to regroup.

The Inuzuka family was fighting like a true pack using extreme team work to stay a step ahead of the monster.

The dogs natural relation to fox's gave them a slight resistance to the Kyubi's power and the continued to rend and tear at Naruto's body. And the Hugo's were essentially staying on defense with the kaiten to protect the other fighters.

Another clone Kyubi went after the Yamanaka Nara & Akimichi families who were assisted by Yamato and Ebisu

The Nara family like the Aburume's were having little to no effect on the demon body being enhanced with so much chakra there shadow was literally being burned before it could have any effect on him so they stuck to the medical treatments

Many of the Akimichi's were already at least using the blue food pill and were still losing. But while trying to hold them in place using there multi sized techniques the yamanaka's were trying there hardest to break into the mind of naruto and take over the body

And then finally the 3rd group consisting of team ten and all the other jounin with no true affilation really just trying there hardest to stay alive.

And the fighting continued slowly creeping closer and closer

To the village hidden in the leaves

So that's it ill try and repost it as soon as possible to finish up the fight cause this was a pretty crapppy place to end the story

Please give advice and reviews and hope you enjoy the story
