Chapter 2: The Chamber
Rise of Uzugakure
Uzugakure, Hidden Chamber
8:02 PM
"Whoa…" Naruto muttered as they finally stopped in front of the 'chamber' where he was to train. Zabuza stood next to him; the man's arms were crossed in front of his chest as he surveyed the large chamber in front of them. On his other side was Taka, her blue hair cascaded down, blocking her features almost entirely except for one half of her face where her right eye shone brightly, a crimson red that looked eerily like blood. Her hair reached her shoulders and ha d a dull sheen to it. All three of the Uzumaki wore the same training gear and on their backs were large backpacks. There were slight modifications to each training outfit, to suit the needs of its wearer. Zabuza's consisted of a pair of black pants that were wrapped at the bottom with white tape and for a shirt he wore a tight muscle shirt. His giant sword was of course clamped onto his back like it always was.
Naruto wore a pair of black pants identical to Zabuza's, taped and all, and instead of a muscle shirt for his shirt he wore a tight orange T-shirt that had a white strip down the front. His hair was covered by a black hat that fit snuggly over his head, resting just above his eyes, his blond hair stuck out around the edges. The hat itched the blonde horrendously but Zabuza said that it would keep his hair out of his face for now; otherwise he could just shave it all off. Naruto had chosen the hat without protest after that. On his back he had on a sheath for a plain sword since no one had managed to find his sword back in Konoha. Naruto had decided that he wouldn't reveal his secrets just yet, secrets which included Ranjin and Shi being sealed within the sword. Taka stood next to him and she wore a pair of tight black pants that clung to her legs but allowed her freedom to move. For a shirt she wore a black T and on her waist she had a short sword hanging uselessly.
Naruto stared at the chamber, his eyes slowly moving over it, taking in all of its details. Lack of details is more like it… the blonde boy thought as he turned his gaze over towards his uncle, a look of questioning on his face. "This is the Great Chamber you guys mentioned?" Naruto said bringing a single hand up and made a slow motion in front of him, gesturing to the chamber. "It's a giant, flat wall!" he exclaimed.
The chamber was in fact…not a chamber. The trio of Uzumaki had journeyed a ways into the forest until they had come to a cave that descended far into the earth, a flight of steps that seemed to keep going. Now they stood before the chamber that was in a large room, about the size of the academy classroom. It was bare expect for two torches that flickered in their brackets that were fastened to the wall on either side of a large steel door that had no handle. Instead it had a medium sized red spiral in the center of it.
"Patience you little brat!" Zabuza grumbled as he stepped forward. He brought his hand up and placed it against the door firmly, his palm covering the red spiral. Naruto watched with curiosity as the door began to hum slightly before a small pulse of chakra made its way over the door and, slowly, the large door began to open up. At first a small crack had appeared in the middle of the doors announcing it as not just a door but two halves of a door. Then slowly it slid apart until it receded into the wall, and was gone from sight. In its place was a single wall of white light.
"Whoa… so we're going in there?" Naruto asked as he began to step forward but before his foot could make contact with the ground he was jerked backwards. The boy cried out as he fell to the ground heavily, catching himself on his hands before he slowly sat up and saw Taka glaring at him furiously. "What the hell is your problem?" he demanded as he got to his feet and stormed up in front of her. He glared at her, staring at her single red eye, waiting for an answer.
"Naruto, leave her alone." Zabuza grumbled and the blond waited for a few seconds before complying.
"Bitch…" Naruto muttered as he turned back to Zabuza. "When are we going in?" he asked and Zabuza's only answer was to reach into his bag and pull out a scroll.
"As soon as we fully equip you." The man said as through the scroll on the ground where it exploded in a cloud of smoke. Naruto watched as the smoke disappeared leaving a pile of objects lying in its wake.
"What the…?" Naruto muttered as he stared at the items.
"Weights, there are a few things we are going to work on in the chamber… your speed is one of them." Zabuza said and started grabbing the weights. "Strap this to your forearms." He said and threw two pairs of weights to Naruto.
The blond caught them and was thrown off balance suddenly, a look of shock crossing his face. The weights were heavy, almost too heavy for his muscle deprived body to hold on to. "How much do these weigh?" he asked, his face twisted in shock and also from exerting effort to hold the weights.
"Oh….you knows… 15 Pounds each, but don't worry after a few days in the chamber you'll be somewhat used to them." Zabuza said and crossed his arms waiting for Naruto to strap the weights on. "Hurry up!" the man barked and Naruto nodded and set to work.
"Now what?"
"Legs weights!"
"AHHH!"
"15 pound each also!"
XxXxX
"You have to be kidding…." Naruto muttered as he dragged his feet forward trying to edge closer to the chamber. Zabuza looked at him, a small smirk on his face; the man was obviously enjoying Naruto suffering. "I can barely move!" Naruto grumbled loudly and Zabuza shrugged before he began to speak.
"We have to get you back to normal and then some. Before we get in there I want to tell you some very important things, we don't have time to waste in there." Zabuza said and Naruto stared at him with an angered expression.
"Aren't we going to be in there for the equivalent of a year or so?" The blonde almost yelled. "How can we not have time?" he hissed and Zabuza sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"This chamber is powerful, probably the most powerful thing known to man. It is comparable to….I don't know! Just shut up and listen! Zabuza groaned and Naruto set his mouth in a thin line, his eyes narrowed as he glared at his uncle.
"Damn it! The chamber can be used for a long time but if we use it for a year then it will seal itself after we leave for a year!" Taka said quietly but annoyance and anger laced her words. "That's why we don't have time to waste. Besides there is something we have to do before we can even think about entering this chamber." Taka said and looked at Zabuza who was staring at Naruto with a blank face.
"What?" Naruto muttered and Zabuza looked at the chamber before speaking.
"We are going to train you to be strong, but there is something preventing you from doing that." Zabuza said and Naruto waited for him to finish. The blonde stared at his uncle in apprehension. "The Kyūbi; you have no chakra control because the seal that was placed on you allows the demons chakra to be added to your own gradually but the seal can't stop the random flux's that flood our system. That is why you have no control. Your chakra frequency is always changing." Zabuza said and Naruto stared at them for a little bit before laughing.
"Tell me…. How do you plan on fixing that? Releasing the Kyūbi?" Naruto asked and laughed, wiping a tear from his eye.
"Yes." Taka said with a flat voice. "That's exactly what we plan to do."

Konohagakure, Hospital
7:34 AM
"I'll kill him. I'll find the worthless shit and do what the council should have done a year ago!" Inoichi bellowed as he gripped the wall next to him tightly, leaving finger indents along with cracks in the wall. His eyes were trained on his daughter who was lying in a hospital bed, the blankets pulled up around her. She was hooked up to a few machines that took care of a few basic necessities such as food and water and also a drip. She had bandages wrapped around her arms, legs, and stomach. Her face had a few gauze pads strapped to it and her breath was coming deeply.
"Inoichi… I know you are angered but-"Koharu began to say but the angered man wasn't going to listen. Instead he took a different approach, one that left everyone in the room staring at the blonde man and the grey haired man in shock, one that left the elder pinned against the wall a hand on his throat, ready to choke the life out of him. Inoichi didn't take the approach of a calm Clan head; instead he took the approach of a pissed off father, a father that knew his daughter had just been raped and the sick basterd who did it was still out there.
"You know I'm angered? Oh, it's beyond that." The blonde man said, hissing the words at the elder. He knew there would most likely be punishment but right now, for one of the few moments in his life, his judgment was clouded by emotion. "I don't know what I am right now because I'm so fucking pissed that I think I may have created a new emotion that would make the anger of a Bijū pale in comparison!" Inoichi roared and pressed tighter against the gasping elder's throat.
"Inoichi…" a concerned man said and placed a hand on his friends shoulder. He slightly pulled his friend who ignored his touch for a few moments before he released the elder from his grasp, allowing the man to fall on to his ass and shuffle backwards before coming to a stand next to his opposite Homura. "I know you're angry, I am to, but we must think rationally. Killing among ourselves will not solve our problems." Shikaku muttered as he let his eyes fall upon the elders.
"Then I suggest they leave before I express mail their souls to the god of their choice….no scratch that, I'll sell their souls to the foulest demon the resides in the deepest pits of hell and in return I'll ask for a flaming rod of spiked metal that I can shove up their asses and gain a sliver of satisfaction. They'll know what it's like to be raped!" Inoichi said darkly as he slowly turned his back on the elders.
"We are here to discuss important matters!" Homura said before the argument could escalate to a full out battle within the small room. She looked at her colleague and dismissed his coughing into his sleeve. "We have to consider our option right now. Capturing Sasuke is a priority; he must be put back under lock and key so that we can evaluate his mental condition." Homura said and was cut off from saying anything more when a low chuckle resounded from the window sill. All eyes turned and found themselves looking at none other than the legendary Sannin Jiraiya.
"What is the meaning of your interruption Jiraiya? Should you not be reporting to the Hokage?" Homura asked in a flat tone, anger hidden well. Jiraiya looked around the room, amusement, about what Homura had stated before he made his appearance, was apparent in his eyes. His glance moved over to the bed ridden, and comatose, Ino.
"You say that Sasuke needs to be mentally evaluated? What better evaluation then looking at what the little brat has done?" Jiraiya said and waved his hand at the elders. "If he thinks it's just fine to kill and rape fellow Shinobi then you know something's not right in his pathetic head. If you don't like that argument then how about this one? He ran off to go find Orochimaru! No scratch that… he ran off with Orochimaru's elite guard and they brought him directly to Orochimaru." Jiraiya said with a dark scowl on his face. He still had no idea why his sensei kept the worthless advisors around because the only advice that they gave was shit!
"We do not know at this time is Sasuke has joined Orochimaru! For all we know he could be trying to infiltrate his walls and then gather information on him for us!" Koharu said; his voice hoarse due to the fact that Inoichi nearly strangled him.
"Really? And part of his 'Glorious Mission' was to rape a fellow comrade? Sounds like a great plan for a mentally unstable traitorous and worthless bastard. He had the curse mark and we all know he is hell bent on gaining power so don't try to stick up in his defense. This village has lost its precious 'Uchiha'!" Jiraiya said and glanced at Ino sadly. "And in the process we may have lost another gifted ninja…" he muttered only for a select few to hear.
"That is exactly why we are here." Homura stated as she stepped forward and looked at the rooms occupants with an heir of authority as though she was in control of them all. Inoichi, Shikaku, Isumi who was Ino's mother, Sakura, Chōza, Jiraiya, and finally a frightened nurse who was trapped in a corner, fearfully watching everything happening. Homura sniffed slightly before continuing. "Sasuke did something horrible but at the same time it may be a blessing! Ino….she could be pregnant with the boys child, if she gives birth then-"
BOOM!
"I'll kill you both!" Inoichi screamed as he dived out the doorway that he had thrown Homura's frail body threw. Koharu was thrown to the side as the blonde man shouldered past him, his attention solely focused on the woman who made such a retarded plan. His teeth were bared and his hands outstretched, prepared to strangle the women but when his hands were inches from her neck, inches from showing her what he thought about the plan, he found his movements halted. He snarled but he knew it was no use, Shikaku had him trapped in his Kagemane jutsu.
"You fool!" Homura screamed as she stood to her feet, shaking slightly. Blood ran from the top of her forehead and the side of her mouth. "That brat could give birth to a glorious new clan but you-"
"I suggest you leave now." Jiraiya said menacingly as he walked out of the hospital room and into the hallway. He was glaring at Homura and his gaze flickered slightly when Koharu slipped past him and started to push Homura along.
"Go, it isn't worth it…" he muttered and the two disappeared around a corner farther down the hall. Jiraiya glared for a little bit before he turned.
"Inoichi, you're going to be dealing with their hate for awhile. They'll go out of their way to make your life hell." He said with a small chuckle but Inoichi replied with a vicious retort, all his anger and fury aimed at the wrinkled elders.
"How dare they suggest my daughter be a concubine!" he said and felt control of his body return to him. "I have half a mind to chase them down and finish them. Kami knows they have been causing enough problems for the council, I could end it and any threat to my daughter." The blonde father said through his teeth as he stormed back into the room through the doorway, which was missing a door now.
"But you won't, right?" Jiraiya asked as he followed the man into the room. Inoichi was at his daughter's side and Isumi wasted no time in wrapping her arm around her husband, melting into his side as she laid a hand on her daughter's leg gently, tears brimming in the blonde women's eyes. "Want to know why? Because… you want to be able to get the little fuck, so do I. The last thing I want is Orochimaru to get his hands on Sasuke but let's face the facts… Orochimaru can keep himself and Sasuke hidden until the time that he takes the boy's body. If you want to have justice served we have to get to Sasuke in the next three years…" Jiraiya said and Inoichi looked at him, a look of grim understanding in his eyes.
"How long will it take us to find them?" he asked; his tone of voice made many shiver. This wasn't just a man going after a traitor, this was a father. A true father that was going to bring to justice….the one who harmed his daughter.
"Forever!" Jiraiya said with a scowl. "That snake can hide when he wants… in fact if we go to find him… there is someone we need to find first." Jiraiya said grimly and looked around the room his eyes briefly settling on Sakura before they returned to Inoichi who was staring at him, his eyes dull and blank. "There is only one other person besides you that hates Sasuke with a passion, only one other person that would hunt the boy down for what he has done to Ino." Jiraiya said and Sakura couldn't help but speak up.
"Shikamaru?" she asked and Jiraiya laughed and waved his hand.
"Not the lazy Nara…" the hermit muttered and looked at Sakura. "The person we have to try to find left a while before Sasuke. We have to find one Uzumaki Naruto." Jiraiya said and the room seemed to freeze over. "He will be the one to end the Uchiha."
"When do we leave to find him?" Inoichi asked after a few minutes of silence, his resolve was strong, he wouldn't back down. He couldn't be kept in the village since he retired a few years ago and he could leave Isumi with the Clan Head responsibilities while he was gone.
"Today if you want, I have a feeling that Naruto won't be too happy…. In fact I think we will find Sasuke rather quick." Jiraiya said darkly before turning away from those in the room and walked towards the window. "I'm going to notify the Hokage that we are going to attempt to find the boy who ran one more time." With that Jiraiya leaped out of the open window and disappeared from sight.
Naruto? Sakura thought as she stared at the window that the man had just jumped out the window. It's been so long… She thought and then her gaze flickered over to her best friend, her comatose best friend. Please Naruto… she thought as a tear formed. Please kill that worthless bastard!

Uzugakure, Hidden Chamber
8:46 PM
"No way!" Naruto growled as he took a, challenging, step backwards; his feet dragging as he tried to put at least a small amount of distance between himself and Taka and Zabuza. "I've held the fox back for…" Naruto trailed off as he tried to think about how old he was now. I was 13 when I graduated, 14 at the Chūnin exams…. A year passed… "15 years… I don't think I want to chance letting it go now! All for what?" Naruto said as he tried to throw his hands in the air in a surprised gesture but he found the weights to be like anchors, only allowing him to raise them a few inches before they dropped back to his sides. Damn weights… damn Zabuza….damn fox! Naruto growled mentally.
"All for chakra control!" Taka said with a scowl on her face. She had already explained the whole thing to the boy but trying to get things through to him was harder than getting Iwagakure to forgive the Yondaime. "I told you what we must do! If we can pull this off then you'll no longer have to deal with the Kyūbi's influence and you'll be able to control your chakra!" Taka said and Zabuza nodded beside her in agreement.
"The chances of failure are high….but I know that you can do it, especially if I lend my strength." His uncle said as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, expecting Naruto to get the bigger picture. The blonde boy just continued to scowl at both older ninja though, making Zabuza sigh in frustration. "Listen here!" Zabuza said darkly and took a step forward towards Naruto. "You're going to be the leader of this village right? Sometimes it takes sacrifices, daring chances, and loss in order to keep your people alive! Do you want to be a chicken shit and let your people die because you were afraid to face your demon? You held it back for 15 years you say?" Zabuza asked and Naruto glared at him before nodding sharply.
"Then prove who the master is! If you can hold back the strongest Bijū then I'm sure you can hold it back for a few minutes so we can place the new seal!" Zabuza said and looked at his nephew sternly. "You have to do this, if not for yourself then do it for those close to you." The man said and that was the end of it, only silence followed afterwards.
In this silence Taka stared at the blonde boy, her contempt and disgust with him very obvious, if not for some unknown reason. Zabuza began to second guess his judgment of the blonde, he had thought the boy was brave but now he was having other thoughts. Naruto was staring at the ground in anger, shame, and fear. He had already wasted a year of his life battling one demon… now he had to face the other demon, the one that was most likely stronger then Shi. The blonde clenched his fists together as he tried to clarify his thoughts, tried to dive through the jumbled emotions and get to the center of his heart, the place where the answer would lie.
"Tell me…exactly exactly what has to happen. I don't want a half-assed version of what we need to do." Naruto said as he brought his gaze up, his eyes were cold and serious. The normally soft and warm blue eyes were so fierce now, so deadly that Zabuza had a hard time believing that this was the same Naruto standing before him.
Taka let a small smirk cross her face before she shook her head, tossing her blue hair out of her face. "The seal placed on you now, it's weak and will probably break within the next four years. It's a very complex seal, very difficult to understand and replicate. I have a new found respect for the Yondaime for making something such as this… at the last moment none the less. The purpose of this seal is to bind the Kyūbi to you until you release it or your die and throughout your life the seal will slowly allow the Kyūbi's chakra to filter into your system and join your own. Because of that, your chakra is always spiking randomly and you have horrible chakra control." Taka explained and crossed her arms in front of her chest and sighed.
"Now, Zabuza found me fairly early and requested that I begin working on a new seal, one that put this one here to shame. As your uncle said earlier…the Uzumaki were Seal Masters, the Yondaime would be considered an amateur compared to some of our kinsmen. But, forgetting history, our clan created one of the most powerful seals, a seal that was usually always used to contain demons. The Uzumaki created the Jinchūriki seal." Taka said and Naruto's serious eyes wavered for a brief second and he opened his mouth slightly before he clenched his fists.
"What do you mean?" he asked in a hard whisper, his eyes boring into Taka as though they were searching her soul.
"What I mean is…the Uzumaki created a seal, very powerful indeed, that could seal any of the Bijū within someone. Only thing is… that person didn't receive the demons chakra, any benefits, they didn't even know they were their actually. But the most important difference between theirs and yours… was that the demon would break free when its jailer died. The Uzumaki didn't want to give so much power to one person and so they literally locked the demons away when they were sealed but over time people were able to adjust the seal, technically they ruined it…" Taka muttered and trailed off and looked at Naruto with a peculiar interest. "But anyways… the seal that I am going to place on you, unless the Kyūbi manages to break free…." Taka said as a side note and ignored the growl that came from Naruto's throat. "… The seal is a combination of the Uzumaki's seal and your own seal. It took a long to perfect it, very dangerous also since I had to enter your containment cell in order to observe it." Taka said and Naruto gestured for her to continue. This bitch gets sidetracked easily! He thought with a mental sigh.
"Alright, this new seal can only be placed if we destroy the seal you have in place. As you already know; when that seal is removed the Kyūbi has a straight shot to freedom only there is one thing that can stop it. That's you. You can't beat the fox, not at your strength now, maybe later in life but not now. All you have to do is hold it back for 20 minutes, that's it. I'll start working on the new seal as soon as you pull the old seal off. When I finish the seal will drag the Kyūbi back to its cage, or whatever thing binds the demon." Taka said and finished her face blank and her eyes focused completely on the blonde in front of her.
"And what does this new seal do?" Naruto asked with a tired sigh. So far it sounded like he would have his hands full.
Taka chuckled, a chuckle that was devoid of any emotion. "The new seal will take the Kyūbi with you when you die. The most important things It will do though… first it will completely restrict Kyūbi's chakra from entering your own system. If you had this seal in the first place this would be dangerous because if Kyūbi's chakra had somehow entered your system then you would be ripped apart!" Taka said joyfully, enjoying the fact that Naruto was starting to get slightly worried. "But now that you've had Kyūbi's chakra running through your system for 15 years your body is used to it. Of course I recommend that you train using the demons chakra also so that you don't kill yourself from non use and then you suddenly use it one day and… anyways. Since the Kyūbi's chakra will be trapped within the seal you will be able to use your own chakra, control it and everything. Since you won't have to worry about Kyūbi's random chakra intrusions and small doses being added to your system you will maintain a 'constant chakra frequency' which means you can finally get rather good chakra control.
"You'll still be able to communicate with the demon and use his chakra, not even the strongest seal can force the demon to willingly give its chakra to you, siphon it slowly yes, and absorb it all no. You'll still have your crazy amount of chakra as it is, surprisingly the Kyūbi had little to do with that… you were born with rather large chakra coils and the Kyūbi's made them slightly bigger and now you might lose maybe a small amount of your total amount but if my judgment is correct you still have the same amount if not more than a Kage. Your stamina is all on you… you'll still have that. Your regeneration, the crazy ability you have to heal within a few minutes… I think that will remain because with every seal the demon within has a chance to escape and the Kyūbi will hope for freedom still one day. The final side effect that you will have is…" Taka trailed off and gave him a small smirk. "You won't have a berserker mode when you get angry anymore."
Naruto was staring at the ground as he absorbed all of the information given to him. This new seal was only an upgrade, an upgrade that came at the cost of him releasing the most powerful Bijū upon the world. "Ok let's do this….we are doing it right now right?" he asked and looked at his uncle who was nodding.
"Yeah, we won't be able to do it in the chamber… even though it would trap the Kyūbi for a couple weeks if it escaped. We can't use chakra in there and so it will be impossible to make a good seal." Zabuza muttered and Naruto tapped his chin in thought for a second.
"How are you going to help me?" Naruto asked, he remembered Zabuza saying her would help him when it came time for him to hold the demon back.
"I'm going to fight by your side. Hopefully you won't be as weak on the inside as you are out here." Zabuza said and looked towards Taka who was kneeling on the ground waiting for the two to give the go ahead. "Let's get started now….I wants to get in the chamber as soon as possible.
Naruto nodded and hesitantly kneeled in front of Taka; the women sighed before grabbing his shoulder, and in a display of great strength, slammed him painfully into the ground so that he was lying in front of her. "Oh sorry I forgot…" she muttered with a grin. "I need you to take off your shit. I need to work with the seal so…" she said and Naruto sighed before he pushed himself up and pulled the orange T-shirt off and laid it behind his head and as he started to lower himself down Taka sighed impatiently.
"Ouch!" Naruto yelled and glared at Taka who had slammed him down into the ground again. The women rolled her eyes and watched as Zabuza knelled down on the other side of Naruto. "Are we ready?" he asked and both ninja nodded once. Naruto closed his eyes and before he entered his mental state he felt Zabuza hand laid upon on his forehead.
XxXxX
"Hey Fur Coat!" Naruto yelled as he drew close to the cage. He looked down at his body before he got any closer and he was shocked to find that he was wearing his training outfit which included his weights, the only thing the really changed was the fact that he was able to move with the weights on. Naruto flexed his muscles and was slightly shocked to find that they were much bigger than they were in the real world. Zabuza's wish came true… somehow I have my old strength back in here. Eh, why complain? "You there fox?" Naruto yelled again and waited, silence followed though.
"What do you want mortal?" Kyūbi asked in its tone of hatred. Naruto watched as slowly Kyūbi repeated the same routine it repeated every time he came to see it. The fox slowly opened its eyes, its red pupils staring at Naruto with hatred and contempt. "Why have you disturbed me?" the fox growled and Naruto laughed and drew closer to the cage, water splashing around his ankles as he walked.
"Well you see… in order to get stronger I got to get a new seal." Naruto said with a shrug, he couldn't show his fear to the fox lest the demon prey upon it; let the emotion give it strength. "So I say we strike a deal. I beat you and you stop being an asshole to me and give me something I can use in a fight? All other Jinchūriki have something." Naruto said and stopped in front of the cage. Kyūbi watched him with anger, its eyes hovering mysteriously in the dark.
"You think I want to treat you with kindness?" The fox barked and began to chuckle darkly, its laughter rumbling throughout the room. "No deal! I only tolerated you back in your battle with the Gobi to ensure my survival. The same applies to your fight with Shi! Why would I help you anymore? I give you the arrest means to survive and keep me alive." The Kyūbi growled and Naruto shrugged and grinned at the fox.
"I guess you don't want a chance at freedom." Naruto said and the Fox's eyes flashed and slowly the beasts entire head came into view, the wicked grin that the fox had on its face made Naruto slightly shudder. "Are you interested now?" Naruto asked and the fox laughed, ignoring Naruto.
"I see I've been sleeping for too long!" Kyūbi roared and Naruto felt his hair shift slightly as the beast glared at him. "I'll accept your deal… I'll give you a great power if you release me and manage to defeat me…" The Kyūbi said and watched with satisfaction as the seal, that kept the cage it was locked in closed, slowly began to lower down to Naruto's level.
Naruto placed his hand at the top of the seal and stared at it for a little bit, making up his mind. "Remember the last time we were in this position? I tricked you… that made me laugh so hard…" Naruto whispered and with a great feat of mental, physical, and emotional strength…he ripped the seal off that was holding the Kyūbi back and jumped backwards, far away from the cage.
"NOW YOU DIE MORTAL!" The Kyūbi roared and threw itself at the cage and at Naruto.
XxXxX
Jiraiya and Inoichi will be looking for Naruto soon but will they find him? And if they do then just what will his reaction to Sasuke's evil actions be? Also… what power can Kyūbi possibly give to Naruto? Well guess you guys have to wait until next chapter to find out! On a side note, if you haven't noticed, Konoha is ahead of Uzu time. It's not some weird global time difference it's just a difference of when things happen. I'm going to probably even the times out so that we can see when things happen and not have to figure out who's ahead of whom. Also I have been thinking about it and I want to tell some of you, who put up with the horrendous first book, that Ino, Temari, Tayuya, nor Sakura are in love with Naruto. It was a Fan girl stage; they were only 12 you know? In this book, if relationships happen… then they will take some time to develop. Other than that Ja Ne!
