Naruto lay cold upon the open field of the fire country as rain and thunder poured from the heavens. Enjoying the purity of nature as the rain trickled down his cheeks. He stared at the clouds, his mind blank without thought. Catching a cold… was the least of his worries.
"Why am I here…" He asked silently to the open air.
"I brought you here Kit," Kyuubi replied in his mind, "The time is now, in which we become one…"
The demon did not wish this, he would have preferred to lie inside his cold cell than to have been forced into combination of the souls… but it was the Yondaime's wish, as written upon the seal.After many years of being with Naruto from his birth, Kyuubi had become soft towards him. He had been watching him for so long, watching his way of the ninja, reluctantly believing it.
"… Before we do merge…" He spoke suddenly "… I must tell you the reason in which I had attacked your home village…"
Naruto's half-closed eyes widened when he heard this. Since the beginning, he did not think demons would have any other reason to destroy other than to see death before them. He wondered if it was wise to trust the fox. After all, hehad beenthe reason that his young life was totally crap right from the beginning. In all luck, it had to be Naruto as the container. It wasent fair at all. He decided to hear him out, least this once.
"… You had a reason?"
"Yes, I did…" Kyuubi said softly as Naruto faded into his mind and laid outside the cage.
"Many months before the incident, I had found a mating partner that I had trully cared for and would stay along side her through my long years. It was onlya day before the attack thatmy mate had given birth to many of my children. I had never been more happier in my entire life..." He smiled but sadness returned to his eyes, "I had never caused any harm to the nearby village which had been Konoha…The people were naturally afraid of me and wereaware of my strength in this world from past tales."
Kyuubi laid his head upon the cold floor of Naruto's mind.
"Because of these tales… even though some where infact false, they had attacked in fear that I would lay destruction upon your village or feed upon the citizens. They… they had killed both my mate and my children but failed… to kill me."
Naruto's eyes looked down upon the wet floor, starring at a puddle as he pictured what Kyuubi had just told him.
"I came… for revenge. I wanted more than anything to kill every last one of the occupants in Konoha… no… every last human upon this very Earth. But I had failed. The fourth sealed me inside of his newborn and sacrificed himself to save his loved ones, his village... but also because…"
Naruto looked up at him before he finished his sentence.
"… He didn't want to kill me." The fox looked down into the same puddle Naruto had been watching till he saw tears fall upon the stone earth.
"The fourth… was my father?" He asked in a strained voice. Tears were flowing down his cheeks freely as he looked up at what had been purposely slipt by the fox.
"Kit… I'm sorry that I had been the cause of your father's death all this time… I'm sorry… that I had been the very reason that the villagers misunderstood you and made your youth living hell-…"
He stopped suddenly when he saw Naruto's eyes close and fist close suddenly. His own eyes drooped; he could not look at his friend. Naruto then relaxed his clenched fists as his tears stoped falling.
"No… Kyuubi… There's no need to say sorry anymore… you've already been forgiven."
Kyuubi looked up, straight into his eyes. The shock had hit him head on. He was sure that Naruto would hate him far beyond the hate that Naruto and Orochimaru contained themselves.
"Like Sasuke, your life was so caught up in the hate and pain because of the death of your loved ones through injustice… that your heart sought revenge. You could not bear the loneliness that another had given to you, that you sought compensation through the death of another…"
Naruto smiled softly as the Kyuubi looked through the bars, down at him. Would he be the first to understand his pain… the first to forgive him of his most unforgivable mistakes?
"Your not alone anymore."
It was in that moment that the seal that once held the demon fox tight inside his cage had broken. The gates… were now open.
I must warn you, xx. I probably wont update that often even though the holidays are comin up.

Over and out.
