Naruto woke up in the middle of the night to the sounds of screaming. He launched out of his bed and into the hall with a kunai in hand, when he realized the screams were coming from Rin and Obito's room. He knew Obito was going to be out late so that meant she was alone in the room. Naruto felt Kurama's chakra moving around inside of him again.

He burst through the door and saw that Rin was having a nightmare of some kind, when he went to put his hand on her shoulder he felt his mind pulled away.

Naruto looked around realizing he was in his mindscape, but this time it was different. He looked and saw Kurama's large cage but across from it he saw another similar cage.

"I thought I felt something different from the Uchiha vixen." Kurama said looking ahead at the other cage. "Isobu show yourself."

Naruto's eyes widened when he saw the form of the massive three tailed turtle. "The last biju was in Rin the whole time?" Naruto screamed ahead before looking back to Kurama.

"I only became one with Lady Uchiha after your departure Naruto." The polite turtle said back.

"He just called me by my name." Naruto said plainly, "You never call me by my name Kurama!" Naruto yelled back to the massive fox.

Kurama let out a small huff, well small for him. Naruto's clothes swayed in the wind. "You should really be checking on her rather than yelling at me kit." He said to Naruto before again bringing his attention to Isobu. "So what is happening?" He said eyeing the turtle skeptically.

"She was having a nightmare about her capture from Mist and my subsequent sealing." Isobu said moving his arm to show an unconscious Rin sleeping soundly against him.

Naruto breathed easier, "Thank you for helping big sister Rin." Naruto said with a slight bow to the turtle who nodded in response.

"Never bowed to me before." Kurama said sarcastically to the blond.

"You've never earned it!" Naruto barked back to the fox.

Isobu looked at the two yelling. "Are the two of you not one?"

Naruto looked at the turtle confused, "What do you mean are we one?"

Isobu responded by pushing on the cage's bars with his leg and they fell away as he did so. "Lady Rin has accepted me just as I have her."

Naruto's jaw was completely on the ground, before turning to the fox who was avoiding eye contact. "I thought if the gates were opened then that means you get out and I die."

"Not necessarily Naruto." Kurama said getting the boys attention, Kurama had never once called him by his real name. "If you were to try that as you are now than my chakra would overwhelm you whether I wanted it to or not. You still carry too much hate."

"I don't hate anyone!" Naruto yelled out into the air.

Kurama let out a breath, "If that were true when you faced Orochimaru your chakra would've been golden like it was when you fought Shukaku. It helped that his tailed beast chakra pushed yours forward, but you fought with no hate in your heart."

Naruto was now looking away from the fox. "Not all of us can be as kind as Rin."

Kurama nodded, "I would agree, I have watched the world through the eyes of three people since my first sealing, and in all those years she is by far the kindest soul I had ever encountered." Kurama said.

Naruto nodded and turned again to Isobu, "Is she going to be ok?"

The massive turtle nodded, "She will be fine. Just a bad dream that I was able to lull her out of."

Naruto nodded, "Thank you once again Isobu." He crossed his arms looking at the turtle. "You know I went looking for you. But by the time I had made it to the Hidden Mist, Yagura had already been overthrown by that crazy lady in the blue."

Isobu nodded, "I always pitied Yagura, he was a strong man but one filled with fear that led him to hate the world around him. Have you met the other biju?"

Naruto smiled, "Yep. You were the last one!"

Kurama watched the boy, he had met all the jinchuuriki not their biju, with the exception of Gyuki and Son they were always the talkative ones.

Naruto turned to Kurama, "Don't worry Kurama I'm going to get rid of all the hate I feel, then I'm going to go after the hate you feel."

Kurama let out a strong breath, "Good luck, I am the Nine Tailed Fox spirit even the Uchiha with their powerful eyes have not been able to fully tame me!"

Isobu started laughing getting the attention of the others. "I'm sorry Kurama, but seeing you the way you are now is hilarious." He turned to Naruto, "He's really just a big softie that looks scary."

As Naruto started to laugh Kurama stopped the connection they were all feeling and Naruto opened his eyes realizing he was again in Rin and Obito's room. He let out a breath of relief seeing Rin resting soundly.

Seeing that it was still late he went back to his own room to get some sleep; he would talk to her about this in the morning.

Sasuke had heard what had happened, Orochimaru had barely escaped with his life after fighting the Kyuubi's jinchuuriki. After hearing that he smiled that his brother was still able to cause some damage. He knew that this was his best chance to take him out before his body was taken.

Sasuke stood in front of the door to Orochimaru's room. He had planned this out in his head for months, the patterns of the guards never changed the damn snake was too proud to actually keep guards in front of the door even now. He used the necessary hand signs for the Chidori and as the lightning formed around his hand he shaped the chakra into a blade and pushed it forward through the door hitting thick flesh.

He kicked open the door and made eye contact with the Sannin who had managed to catch the spear but was still stabbed in the hands. "Sasuke what is the meaning of this?"

"This was always the plan Orochimaru. There is nothing more you can teach me and if this was done to you by him then I have no need for you."

Orochimaru forced the spear away from his body. "You foolish boy, you cannot defeat me."

Sasuke grinned, "You have always overestimated yourself Orochimaru. When you faced the Third Hokage in combat you relied on your reanimation jutsu; you could not hope to defeat Itachi so you planned to take me and my body." He laughed at the man, "Now look at you. This is what happens to you when you fight outright you coward!" He screamed as he jumped onto the bed his sword at the ready to stab at Orochimaru, but the Sannin had planned ahead and forced himself out of his current body.

Sasuke turned around not showing any emotion even though he could feel his heart pounding on his chest.

Before him stood a massive white snake made from smaller snakes and the head was unmistakably Orochimaru. "So this is what has happened to you? I had hoped your true form would be more impressive, this form is not adequate."

Orochimaru leered at the Uchiha. "You call me overconfident, but none have seen this form and survived!" He charged Sasuke wrapping himself around the Uchiha. "I have you now Sasuke there is nothing you can do about it; too bad you could not kill your brother before I took you."

The snake body burst apart the blood splattering everywhere. And in its place stood Sasuke in his second stage of the curse mark. "You have doomed yourself Orochimaru, you thought you had me captive from this seal but you never entered Kakashi's chamber. He had figured out a new sealing pattern to take away your control but he had not been able to apply it to himself."

Orochimaru was staring at the cursed boy in front of him. "Dog was always a worthless pawn."

"No!" Sasuke shouted, "Kakashi Hatake was not able to save his own life but he saved mine." He unsheathed his sword. "Now Orochimaru, come!"

Orochimaru turned leering at the boy, "Tonight you become mine Uchiha whelp!" Orochimaru had prepared the seal already to take Sasuke's body so when he lunged at the boy they entered a mind scape that was filled with a dark liquid that Sasuke was sinking into.

Sasuke smirked, "You're already in my genjutsu."

Orochimaru's eyes widened and he realized that he was the one being absorbed, "How Sasuke!" He screamed as he became one with Sasuke.

Coming back to reality Sasuke took a breath, "I cannot die yet, I still have work to do." He walked out the door and passed Kabuto on the way out.

"Sasuke what happened?" He asked looking into the room seeing the snake skin was now lifeless.

Sasuke stopped without turning to Kabuto. "Go home Kabuto, your work here is no longer required." With that he left the base for good.
