Here it is for you, the fourth chapter. I hope that you will enjoy it. Also I would like to ask everyone a quick question, how many of you think that Kushina is actually alive? In the show and mangas they give no real evidence that she in fact truly is dead, they only hint at it. It is just a thought that Kushina will make her apereance towards the end of it all. Just so you all know, I will be taking a short break to organize my thoughts in my head.
When the chakra recedes into the seal; however something happens that neither Naruto, nor the fox ever imagine would happen.
Mindscape
"Where am I," whisper the blonde to himself from his seat in what appeared to be a floor of a sewer. Standing up Naruto begins to look around his surroundings, hoping to find some clue as to where he is. "Hmm, from the looks of things I must be in some kind of sewer system, but I've never seen a sewer system like this in Konoha before."
Before he could explore his new surroundings, a muffled sound caught his attention. "It sounds like someone crying," Naruto says to himself. "Is there someone else down here too?" Shrugging his shoulders, he continues, "Might as well see if I can help whoever else is down here."
Following the sound leads him down a long corridor, he passes by many doors; all of which giving him the creeps by looks alone. Walking down the partially flooded hallway he nears an area where another hallway braches off of the original. When he turns to look down the adjoining corridor, the crying comes to a sudden stop.
"Now that's-," Naruto never got to finish his sentence as a deep rumbling sound fills the area. "What the hell is that, it almost sounds like something's growling. Damn I just hope I'm wrong, because if I'm right then this bastard must be huge!"
Going against all known logic, Naruto heads towards the growling noise. Walking for what seemed to him a small eternity he comes across a massive room. "Holy shit all of Konoha could fit in here easily!" shouts out Naruto, noticing the sheer massive size of the room. Looking around the barren room for more information as to where he was he notices a massive gate, keeping the gate closed, were no locks of any kind but a piece of paper with the word seal written on it.
Walking up to the gates hoping to catch a glimpse of what's on the other side. Noticing that something was moving in the cage, Naruto barely jumped out of the way of a massive set of claws.
"So this is my container, truly pathetic," says a deep powerful voice that echoes in the room, increasing the fear that the voice alone instilled.
"Why isn't it the stupid bastard of a fox, Kyuubi," says Naruto discovering that he had somehow gotten inside of the seal. His comeback to fox is met with a growling from the most powerful demon in existence.
"Come closer to my cage pathetic human so I can feast on your marrow," growls out the demon, revealing its red slanted eyes and massive razor sharp teeth.
"Let me see, how about no," says Naruto imitating Kakashi hoping to piss off the fox that is imprisoned behind the seal.
"Okay that's it you hairless rat!" roars out the fox thrashing against the massive bars that held it in place.
"Kyuubi, you have been in here for what, about thirteen years? What makes you think that you will be able to break out after all these years," asks Naruto acting like this all bored him. "Crap that scared the hell out of me!"
"You think your brave don't you," says Kyuubi hoping to get a reaction out its vessel. "For your information boy, I'm-"
"The most powerful demon in all existence, yatta, yatta, yatta," says Naruto in a very mocking manner, "let me guess, you also want me to let you out right?"
"That's right mortal, release me!"
"Shut up, you know that I will never let you lose."
"You will do as I say."
"No I won't."
"Grrrr, yes you will you insolent whelp!"
"No I won't."
"Yes you will."
"Make me," shouts out Naruto looking the fox right in the face. "Cause the way I see it you owe me!"
"Grrrrrrrrrrr, I owe you nothing, brat!" roars out the fox slamming its whole body against the gate to get its point across.
"Oh really, if I remember correctly you're the reason why my life is a living hell, you SON OF A BITCH," shouts Naruto in a pain filled voice. "If it weren't for you my parents wouldn't have abandoned me," says Naruto breaking down crying for the first time since he was five.
"Who told you this," asks Kyuubi in a kind and very caring voice.
"Almost everyone, the old man told me they loved me very much, but everyone else said they abandoned me because 'nobody can ever love a demon'," says Naruto tears still streaming down his face. His head dropping low with his hands covering his eyes, he sits down on the ground with his back against the fox's cage.
"Naruto, I didn't leave you," says a soft gentle voice of a woman. Naruto freezes on the spot as he feels thin, yet powerful; arms pull him a loving embrace. "Shh, it's alright Naruto, it's alright, "says the voice as a hand combs through his hair gently.
"Mom?"
"Yes Naruto it's me," says the voice pulling him in tighter into the embrace.
"Where where you, where were you when I needed you," says Naruto nearing hysterics. He soon feels her kiss the top of his head, all the while whispering soothing things to him.
"I was in here waiting for you," she says still running her hand through his messy mop of hair. "You look so much like your father," she says with deep regret in her voice.
"What was he like?"
"Let's see, he was a kind very compassionate man who helped anyone he could, he was also considered a total heartthrob, and; well there's just to much so much that could be said about him."
"Would he have been proud of me?"
"Of you yes, of this village fuck no!"
"Mom."
"Yes Naruto?"
"Why did you attack the village," asks Naruto trying to unravel the reason as to why his whole life went to hell and back.
Hearing this question she immediately stiffens, feeling this Naruto quickly apologizes, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked mom."
"No Naruto, you did nothing wrong. It's just that I'm still trying to figure it out myself," she says pulling Naruto closer into her, trying to make up for all the lost time with her son.
"What do you mean?"
"Naruto, whenever a demon gives birth, she runs on pure instinct. She can't really think straight, I think what happened was that someone tried to assassinate me after I gave birth to you."
"Why would someone try to kill you mom?"
"Let me finish okay?"
"Sorry."
"It's alright, as I was saying. When a female demon gives birth we run purely on instinct."
"Why's that?"
"Because, during childbirth emotions are running wild, and our bodies are easily exposed to many dangers."
"So it's some kind of defense mechanism?"
"Correct, so I guess that when he saw me transform he ran off and I chased him out of my territory."
"Territory," questions Naruto.
"Yes, demons you see are very territorial. And my territory at the time was Konoha. Well anyways, after I chased him out of the village, some ninja must have thought that I was out to destroy the village. Since no one knew that I was demon, except your father."
"Who was he?"
"His name was Minato Namikaze."
WHAT, you mean that dad was the one who sealed you into me?"\
"Yes he did?"
"Ah, how did you two meet?"
"Well before I lived in Konoha, I lived in Whirlpool. When Iwa sank it in the war, I decided to take the form of a twelve year old refuge until I can find my own place to stay."
"How old was dad?"
"He was twelve years old?"
"What rank did he have?"
"He was just assigned to a genin team under his sensei Jiraiya."
"What did you do when you first got here?"
"Well when I first got here I was temporarily placed with your father and his team before I was placed on my own team, that's how we got to know each other. And not too long after that we made a promise to hang out as much as we could after that, as the years went on our friendship blossomed into love."
"How'd he take the news that you were a demon?"
"He took it quite well."
"What do mean."
"He thought that me; having tails was kind' a hot."
"What do you mean?"
"I'll tell when you're older, okay," she says with an embarrass blush on his face.
"Alright," he says, noticing his mother release a sigh in relief.
"So who is you jounin sensei," she asks changing the subject before more can be said on the matter.
"Kakashi, but he hates my guts."
"What do mean?"
"When my team and I passed the bell test, I was left tied to the stump all night.
"WHAT, HOW DARE HE, I WILL RIPE HIM TO SHREDS FOR DOING THAT MY KIT!" She says starting to go demonic holding on fiercely to her son.
"Mom, you're starting to scare me."
"Sorry Naruto."
"Its okay mom," at this her hearts swells with joy in her chest.
"So is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"Well lets see, oh yea I'm now the apprentice of this guy who goes by the name of Skull."
"What, it can't be. Naruto does he like to wear a lot of black clothes, and wears a skull like mask," she says.
"Yeah, why," he asks wondering what his mother was up to.
"Well he used your father's best friend when he was in the ANBU."
