Chapter 1
Naruto, the blonde, hyperactive, knucklehead ninja of eighteen, sat in the forest of death with his two teammates, the Uchiha-teme and the pink haired Haruno. It had been hours since the second stage of the chunnin exams and the most that his team had been able to do is kill a giant centipede, and Naruto was starting to become aggravated, "Aww come on guys! We need to find that other scroll!" he shouted energetically.
Sasuke looked rather annoyed as he spoke, "Calm down dobe, we still need to find another team before we can get their scroll"
"He's right kit," came the annoying demonic voice from his mind, "Save your energy, you'll need it." The voice held an ominous tone to it.
"What's that supposed to mean? Something coming our way?" was the response of a certain blonde headed shinobi. Ever since he found out about the fox being held captive inside of him he had been growing closer to it. Even though when they first met by accident and the fox threatened to kill him, he stayed in his sewer of a mind and talked with it. He learned that the Kyuubi no Kitsune was provoked first, a simple hunt ruined by shinobi attacking it from Konoha.
"I can feel an evil presence heading our way," though the Kyuubi would never admit it the demon fox had grown fond of the blonde prison. Almost on queue a single ninja came into view, it looked to be a young female, with a straw hat to shade her face, in her hand was the scroll they needed to pass the exams. Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto watched carefully as the girl came forward, normally Naruto would have charged in to face this new opponent, but he had learned to listen and trust his tenant, which surprised him. The reason behind his trust was that he thought long ago he was alone, yeah he made friends, but the villagers still hated him, when he learned of his 'friend' he learned that there was someone with him the entire time, someone who lived through it with him, that formed a bond, that no matter what the fox thought, couldn't deny existed. Naruto's lack of action and look of being deep in thought both shocked and amazed Sasuke and Sakura, they both thought he would never mature, but then again he was of age.
"ohhhh Sasuke-kun, you are more spectacular then I thought", came the haunting voice of the female. Sakura didn't like her Sasuke getting ogled like that, and was the first one to charge. Of course her attack was easily dodged, but not before grabbing at the unknown female's face, and to the horror of everyone else, the face came with Sakura's fist. In the place of the once young female now there was a terrifying visage of another unknown male.
"Who…who are you?" stammered Sakura from her position behind the male.
"Tsk tsk, you should never ask the name of a guest" said the male, later to be found as Orochimaru.
"Does it matter?" asked Naruto, finally speaking up, "We'll still kick your ass and get your scroll!" his voice held that good old Naruto determination.
"Kit, don't!" was the last Naruto heard before charging with a kunai in hand. In one swift motion Naruto was on the ground, blood pouring from his new gash down his left side. Naturally the wound began to heal from the Kyuubi's influence. Orochimaru left the demon boy to his healing so he could go back to what he thought was the most important task, Sasuke, and with a sickening sound Orochimaru's neck had extended allowing him to bite down on the raven haired teme. Sasuke fell to the ground in pain as a strange purple chakra built up around him, Sakura was frozen in fear, and Naruto was just getting up. Naruto took this opportunity and rushed towards the now laughing Orochimaru, but again his attempt ended with him on the floor with a new gash.
"Poor Naruto-kun," said the sadistic sannin as he walked towards the bleeding boy, "all I wanted was Sasuke, but I think I found another reason to stay for a bit." He picked up Naruto's beaten body with one hand, and with the other made a few hand seals, a strange purple flame appeared on each of his fingertips "It was fun while it lasted, but maybe that fox will have some fun while I watch my plan unfold, Seal Release Jutsu!" Orochimaru whispered into the blonde boy's ear. With widened eyes Naruto felt the force of a palm slammed into his stomach, sending him flying back into the base of a large tree several hundred yards away.
"Naruto! This isn't good, this isn't good!" said the voice in Naruto's mind. Something was off though, the voice was panicked, and seemed more feminine then usual, but Naruto just assumed that the fog of death was affecting his hearing.
"Yeah I know that..." was Naruto's answer, his voice, even in his mind was just above a whisper from weakness. "Well, a…at least the jutsu releases your cage...You'll get a chance to be free again..." Naruto's voice was fading with each word, and with each word the darkness in his mind grew, while the light to the Kyuubi's cage became brighter and brighter.
"Oh…Naruto-kun" was the last he heard from the fox before darkness consumed him; his final thoughts were on the –Kun, added to his name, as well as the now very female voice.
Several hours later, the darkness that Naruto thought would be permanent began to lift, his environment began to take shape, he was in a clearing, at the base of a tree, the memories of how he got their slowly coming back to him. "I...I'm not dead? But...I...I died didn't I? The fox! Fox! Are you still with me!?" There was no answer to Naruto's calls, "I...I guess the seal did get released, but how am I still alive? I thought I would die without the fox," Naruto's thoughts were cut short by the sound of crying...crying? Yes he was sure that he had heard crying, "...But I'm alone again..." were his thoughts, but then a voice broke his thoughts once again.
"Naruto...Naruto-kun, please wake up, I don't want to be alone, please..." the voice was soft and warm, bleeding with desperation at the same time. "Naruto… you left me alone, come back, we were together the whole time you can't be gone!" choked the voice, it sounded like tears were being held back so the female could speak. Naruto couldn't bear it anymore, he wasn't going to be the cause of a girl's crying; and much to the chagrin of his body, he moved, opening his eyes lightly. Suffice to Naruto was taken back when he saw that he was in the arms of a stunningly beautiful red-headed woman, what was more was that she was naked! "OH! Naruto-kun!" called the girl before she clamped a death grip onto the boy.
"Uh! Chocking!" Naruto spat out trying to breath. With a gasp the girl quickly released him and began to openly cry. Naruto panicked, "No! Please don't cry! It's fine, really! Look I'm all better!" he lied of course, but it seemed to work, the girl calmed down a bit. With a sigh Naruto asked the question that had been bugging him since he woke up, "Who are you?"
The girl looked taken back for a second; Naruto thought she would start crying again when she laughed lightly, "You've never seen me in my human form, so there is no surprise... Kit." The girl said, emphasizing the last word with a smirk.
"Y…You're the Kyuubi!?" Naruto said almost falling out of her arms.
