"…Interesting," mumbled Tsunade as she tapped her lips thoughtfully with her pen.
" 'Interesting'? 'Interesting'! Is that all you have to say, you old hag? I'm losing my goddamn mind, and all you can manage to say, is 'interesting'!" Naruto yelled in reply, his fist slamming on her desk with every pause for breath.
The woman looked at the shinobi in front of her, completely calm. He would've ranted more, if it weren't for one thing; the Hokage had not reacted in the slightest bit when he had called her an old hag. Something was not right at all.
"Naruto, have you looked at your seal at all lately?" she asked quietly, pen still tapping her full lips.
"No…" Naruto answered uncertainly, "Why would I? It's always been there."
"Take a look now."
He obeyed silently, lifting up his jacket and undershirt to reveal the seal which sealed off the powerful demon inside. What he saw was something he had never seen.
The swirl of the seal was still there, but the rest seemed to have been erased and replaced with a rough sketch of the Kyuubi, circling the swirl. Its mouth was open at the end of the swirl, as if preparing to devour the seal. Its multiple tails stretched far across his body, the middle tail snaking all the way to his left pectoral and the other ones fanning out around it. His eyes widened, and he looked up at the older woman for answers.
"This is bad…" the blonde kunoichi muttered, and began speaking, cutting of a possible outbreak from Naruto, "Naruto, it seems, because of your continuous use of the Nine-tails' powers, it's been able to crack through the seals placed on it. It's not your fault of course, as you are the one ninja in Konoha that is put under continuous hazardous conditions, but because of that, the biggest threat known to Konoha is about to become a reality yet again."
Naruto looked at her for a moment, not wishing to believe it. His eyes seemed to beg for a way to stop this before it happened. He finally found the words in his mind and willed them to come out, "Is there anything we can do?" When he saw her shake her head, it seemed as if everything had crashed down around him. He stared down at the floor, anger swelling to enormous heights. He had too much to live for…his dream of Hokage…his teammates, his friends…Hinata. The thought of not being able to see the pale skinned girl's face, or worse, seeing it bloodied by his own cursed hands, made him want to vomit. He had to find a way, something, something to save the village, and Hinata, from him. He had to do something…even if it cost him his life.
The answer came in a rush of harsh reality to the shinobi. He knew there was no other way then this. He raised his gaze back to the person in front of him, his leader, a mentor, and one of the many friends he was planning on saving. His eyes were devoid of any fear or doubt; just a sheer determination, that seemed to take the Godaime by surprise.
"Hokage-sama, I have an idea…"
