Contrary to popular belief, the Kyuubi was an incredibly lazy demon. He had the potential to instill fear, God yes, but the truth was he didn't feel like it most of the time.
In fact, the only thing he'd ever really worked hard at was getting his reputation in the first place. He was damn proud of being evil , thank you very much, and of having others know that he was evil.
Most people would argue, however that he'd only really put half his spirit into that reputation which was probably the reason why the fourth had been able to seal him in the first place, now that he thought about it.
Konoha was actually very lucky that Kyuubi had been sealed into the blonde ninja boy. If, perchance, he had been sealed into anyone else (like the lazy Genin... Shikamaru was it?) They just wouldn't have the stubborn will to oppose him and counteract his force. He'd tried possessing his host many a time, and it simply hadn't worked.
In the end he'd given up and decided to go along for the ride.
Only at night, while his host was asleep could he get out and stretch his metaphorical legs. Even then he did so sparingly and tried not to damage anything. He didn't want the people of Konoha to know that he could get out after all. That would destroy his free supply of Ramen, and his ability to sleep whenever he wished. And God knew he needed enough energy for his main snooze.
"Naruto! Get up!"
"Five more minutes!"
It didn't bother him that his habits were rubbing off on his host.
... really.

A/n: Isn't it obvious that I heart Kyuubi? –grin-
Review my pretties?
