Kyuubi speach
On with the story!
Naruto slowly opened his eyes, not really wanting to come back to the day. He stared at the dark wall he was laying against with sleepy eyes, trying to remember why he was lying on the floor.
He got up on feet, rubbing his eyes hard with his knuckles, and looked around.
'Why am I in the kitchen? And why am I already dressed?' he thought to himself, his mind still clouded with sleep. He yawned, stretching his arms over his head and starting to make breakfast.
And then his eyes fell on the clock positioned right next to the only window.
"Fuck! I'm late!"
He dropped the things he was holding and ran around, looking frantically for his schoolbag. Grabbing it from behind the kitchen door, he ran out of his house, locked the door and ran towards school.
Even though he was really late, and would get scolded by his teacher and teased by his friend, a smile lingered on his face as he ran the fastest he could towards the school building. For today he wouldn't be alone. Today, he had a friend.
He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice the people in front of him until he bounced into them.
"What the… Naruto!"
An extremely angry Kiba got up on feet, almost fuming with anger. He had a really short temper, and didn't hesitate as he rushed towards the blonde, who stared at him and ran in the opposite direction.
He ran even faster than he'd done before, but it seemed that the dog boy was faster and closed up on Naruto.
'Damn! If only I could run faster!' he thought, feeling really scared.
'you can kit, but it'll cost you'
'What! Why are you in my head? And what do you mean?' he yelled mentally.
'I told you, I can make you run faster, but you'll have to pay a price. And if you still don't understand why I'm in your head, then I won't tell you'
'Whatever fox, please help me run faster!' Naruto thought as Kiba started to close up.
'well then kit, but remember that there's a price'
Suddenly, a burst of energy coursed through the blondes' body, making him run faster than he'd ever done. He could almost feel the muscles in his legs expand as he ran. Kiba disappeared, howling angrily behind the running blonde.
Naruto ran. He ran faster than he'd ever done, but he didn't get tired. He didn't even feel anything, except the fear that Kiba would catch up.
He didn't know where he ran, he just followed his feet, ignoring the angry cries from people around him.
But suddenly he was stopped by something soft that made him tumble to the ground.
"Ow dobe, what are you doing?"
Naruto stared at the person he bumped into, and then smiled brightly as he got back on feet.
"Sorry Sasuke, I was just… Uh, well, I… Never mind." He said embarrassedly and scratched the back of his head.
The raven haired boy sighed, but got back on feet and started walking in the direction Naruto came from.
"Are you coming?" He asked coolly with a smirk on his face.
Naruto merely nodded and walked up beside his friend.
They walked in silence to the school. Naruto was tense, prepared at any moment to run. A little sound behind him made him jump and almost run away again, but then he noticed that it was only a kid. He relaxed a little, but was still very tense. His friend noticed this and looked at him with worried eyes.
"Hey dobe, you alright?" He asked quietly.
Naruto shrugged and gave his friend a tiny smile.
And stopped. His eyes brimmed with fear as he slunk behind his friend.
Sasuke glanced at him.
"Move aside, pretty boy." A growling voice made him tear his eyes from his friend. In front of him stood Kiba, accompanied by that Shino guy. Kiba seemed almost to be drooling with anger as he stepped forward with his hands curled into fists.
"Why should I?" Sasuke answered coldly.
Kiba glared at him, his eyes narrowed to thin slits.
"Because I'm gonna kill that fucking loser that's hiding behind you!" he snarled angrily.
Naruto shook with fear. He hadn't been so scared since that time Kiba decided it would be a fun game to kick him whenever he saw him.
'calm down kit, you don't have to be scared' the Kyuubis' voice echoed in his mind.
'What do you mean, Kiba'll beat the shit out of me!' he yelled mentally.
'no he won't'
'What? Of course he will, he always does!'
'not this time, you'll see'
Naruto was just about to turn around and run, when he noticed his friend take a step forward.
"No you won't." He said calmly, staring intently at Kiba.
"Oh yeah, pretty boy? And who's gonna stop me? You?" The dog boy sneered mockingly.
Sasuke just stood there, staring with eyes gleaming angrily. After a while Kiba snorted and trotted away, followed by Shino.
A few metres away he stopped and turned around.
"That pretty boy won't always be there to protect you." He said with a threatening smile. Then the boys walked out of sight.
Naruto sighed deeply with relief.
'kit, you have to do something, as the smelly dog-boy said, your friends' protection will not always be there'
'I know, but what can I do? I'm weak, and I'm scared…' Naruto thought, looking down and ignoring his friends' wondering stares.
'stop complaining kid and do something. You can't always run'
'I'm not running, I'm just…'
The demons' cold voice interrupted his thoughts.
'you are running. You're letting their actions stop you, turning you into a crying weak child'
'I'm not running! I'm just…protecting myself.'
'liar. You are running, since they scare you so much because of what they forced you to do'
'Don't talk about it! Don't make me think about it!' He yelled mentally, holding his hands over his ears and shaking his head.
'you can't run all the time kid, you have to face it'
"Leave me alone!" Naruto yelled, forcing Kyuubis' voice out of his mind.
"Naruto? What's wrong?" Sasuke asked with a frown.
The blonde didn't answer, he only shook his head violently, falling down on one knee.
'kid, you have to face it!' the demons' voice sounded almost desperate, as he pushed forth unwanted memories from the depth of the boys' soul.
Naruto screamed as the memories evaded him. He got back on feet, staring madly around him before running off.
Sasuke stumbled backwards as his friend rushed past him. The people around him smiled, some even laughed and pointed at the running boy.
'Something is seriously wrong with the dobe today.' He thought and followed Naruto.
Naruto ran. Tears streamed across his cheeks as the fox demon forced forth all his painful memories.
'you must deal with them!'
"Leave
me alone!" the blonde screamed. Suddenly he tripped and fell to the
ground. The last thing he saw before the darkness took him was the
people around laughing at him
Narutos' POV:
"Nononononononono!"
Stop the thoughts!
"Please Kyuubi, take them away!"
Kid, I know you're in pain, but you must deal with the memories, or they'll haunt you for the rest of your life
I'm scared.
Why do I have to remember?
Why can't I just forget?
The demon only looks at me.
I huddle up in a corner, with my cheek on my knees.
The memories surround me, and I scream.
It's so painful, I can't take it!
"Let me forget them, why must I remember? "
The demon looks at me with pitiful eyes. He motions with his paw for me to come closer.
Come here kit, rest for a while and try to accept your memories
I stumble over to him and fall down beside one of his huge tails. He curls it up around me, and I close my eyes.
Before everything fades into darkness, I hear him whisper something.
Sleep my little kit. You will soon have your revenge
Memories, Third Persons' POV:
A crowd gathers around a little boy. Some of them smile, others laugh. The little boy only stares at them with big, blue, innocent eyes.
"You'll pay for what happened, demon!"
"What's the matter, little whore? Scaredy scared for us? Why, you are a monster, monsters have no feelings!"
The little boy cries. He's alone now, the people are all gone. But all the pain remain, the dull ache he has gotten used to in the last weeks. Their mocking voices follow him; taunt him with words he doesn't understand.
"Monster, monster, monster, demon, demon, demon, murderer!"
Years later, the little boy who isn't so little anymore go from one foster home to another, not staying longer than a month at each.
A bloody child drags himself through a dark alley. He can't walk properly; blood courses down between his legs and from a large wound on his head. The dark people behind me laugh; even though their faces are hidden, their eyes gleam with satisfaction and hatred as they watch the boy trying to get home.
Beaten and bruised a twelve year old enters a rugged apartment, smiling for the first time in many years, only to discover that the apartment is trashed, all his things broken. The boy hides all his emotions behind a mask of happiness.
Hiding in a tree house, the boy clutches his head, rocking back and forth, chanting the words he has been told:
"Monster, a monster, demon, demon, demon!"
Inches away from insanity, the boy cling to his happy memories; a smiling blonde woman, and a loving embrace.
Lost to insanity, a boy disappears in the forest and returns a week later, bloody and with wild madness in his eyes.
An older boy, no longer insane, stare frightened at the men surrounding him, pleading them to leave him alone, to let him go home. They only laugh, as the boy crouch on the ground, clutching his bruised belly.
A school, young children surrounding the boy; he smiles as they taunt him.
The child hiding in the forest, bleeding and trying to stop his tears.
Dying inside, the child clings to the hope, the hope that he won't be alone forever.
Images flash by faster and faster, all the same dark memories, until a scream stop them.
"Nononononononononononooo!"
Narutos' POV:
I scream.
"Stop them! Stop them! I can't take it, it's too painful!"
I cry, ignoring that my shirt is getting all wet of tears.
The demon stare at me, I can sense that he's worried.
Understand kit, you must accept it before you can stop it. The memories are a part of you, just as I am
"But the pain, I'm so alone! I don't want to deal with it, I can't!"
You're not alone. You have not only me, but that black haired boy. He cares about you
"Sa-sasuke. Help me!"
The fox pulls me closer, almost like in a hug.
I sob into his red fur, not caring about the fact that there is something's wrong with sobbing into the fur of a huge demon fox.
The unbearable pain of memories slowly fades away in the demons' warmth.
Leave it behind you kit, let the past be past and embrace the future. Then you can take your revenge on the humans that deserve it
I nod, still sobbing quietly.
I will now tell you a story about your past. But you must promise to listen quietly, without interrupting with too many questions
I nod again.
The demon lies comfortably on its front paws and begin his story.
I'm sure you've heard of what the humans call "The battle at Valleys' End". But their version is a whole lot different than reality. The story may seem like it's only a fairy tale; that is far from the truth.
I cannot fully describe the battle to you; instead, I will show you
The demon stares into my eyes, and suddenly a red light envelops me, forcing me to close my eyes.
When I open them, I stand on a field beside Kyuubi. Rain pours down from the sky, but it doesn't touch us. A man stands in front of us, clutching a large scroll to his chest.
His long blonde hair lies in stripes over his cheeks, but his blue eyes gleam with determination. He wears a strange sort of clothes; a dark green vest over white robes.
"Kyuubi, who is that?" I ask.
The demon merely shrugged.
"Wait and you'll see"
The man suddenly drops the scroll and begin to do strange movements with his hands.
After a while, a spiral start to form itself on the mans belly, shining through his clothes. The spiral glow red, stronger and stronger until the man cry:
"Demon release no jutsu!"
The glowing red seal on his belly seem to explode in a flash of red light. It's so strong that I have to shield my eyes. When I look again, the man stare defiantly at an enormous best that looked just like…
"Kyuubi? Is that… You?"
"Yes kit, that's me"
"B-but, how…"
"Be quiet kit, and watch"
"Rokadaime…" the demon growl "You released me. Why?"
"The seal is weakening. I can't have you run free, destroying my home and my family. Therefore, I must kill you."
"So be it!"
The man yelled something I didn't understand, and the sky suddenly erupted with flashes which struck the demon.
With a deafening roar, the demon began to glow with a red fire. The man jumped towards it, and they began a magnificent fight.
After a while you could see that the man was tiring. He was sweating rivers and panting heavily. The demon seemed a bit tired to, but not nearly as tired as the man. He was staring calmly at the demon, defeat shining in his eyes.
"So Rokadaime, it seems that it's you, and only you who will die today. "The demon said in a taunting voice.
"If I must die, then I will at least make sure that you won't be able to hurt anyone again! The prophecy will for fill both our destinies."
Suddenly the man picked up the scroll, unfolded it and bit his thumb. He smeared some blood on the scroll and started doing those hand gestures again.
Blue fire gathered around him. Soon he had an aura of blue, making him look a bit like an angel. When he opened his mouth, his voice roared like a huge fire.
"Uzumaki jutsu: Eternal Demon Seal no Jutsu!"
The blue fire enveloped the man and the demon, and they disappeared.
And suddenly we're back in the dark room.
"What just happened? What did that man do? And what did he mean with that Uzumaki thingy?"
Kit, don't you understand?
"What?" I ask confused.
The demon sighs.
That man was your ancestor, the great Rokadaime. He used the last of his powers to seal me into every one of his descendants, thus rending me powerless.
"W-what!" I stutter. "I don't understand!"
The demon only stares at me.
Kit, if I can't explain it, maybe he can
He closes his eyes and red light starts to swirl around him. Suddenly it pulls away from him and forms a shape next to him.
The shape begins to form itself into a human, and soon a young man with blonde hair stands there, with bright blue eyes just like mine.
He walks up to me, smiling sadly.
"Hello Naruto." He says calmly.
I recognize his voice, it seems familiar but I don't remember from where.
"I see that you don't recognize me. Not strange, you were after all only six when I died." His voice is so sad, and yet so filled with peace.
"W-what? Kyuubi, who…?"
This man is your father, I thought that maybe he could explain everything to you, the demon said in a grumpy voice.
"Dad!"
The man nod slowly.
The world is swirling in front of my eyes, but the man only smiles and begins to talk.
"Naruto, I know this might be hard to understand, I didn't quite understand it myself when my father, your grandfather, told me this. But our ancestor sealed this demon into every person in our family. His son created a jutsu that would ensure that the demon never would go loose again. It is used whenever the oldest boy gets six, and it moves the spirit, and the responsibility, to the boy. My dad did that to me when I got six, just as I did on you. Your case, however, is different, since something inside of you protested."
I stare at the man, my father.
"But I don't…"
The man starts to get transparent.
"The jutsu comes to an end I see. Farewell son, it was nice to see you once again."
And so the man fades away into nothing.
"Kyuubi!" I scream. "Take him back!"
I can't kit, the jutsu only work once on each soul. But you understand now, I hope
"You are inside off me?" I ask slowly.
He nods.
Be thankful that the humans doesn't know; they would have killed us
"B-but how can you be inside me? That's impossible, it can't be true! You're lying!"
I fall to the ground.
It can't be true!
He lies!
I have no reason for lying
I take a deep breath.
"Ok, let's say that you're not lying. But why do the others hate me, if they don't know about this?"
The demon looks at me with eyes that seem to gleam with something that looks like… Pride?
That is because you, unlike any other Uzumaki since Rokadaime, have chakra of your own. When your father used your family jutsu your chakra tried to prevent it. But since you were only 6, your chakra level wasn't high enough. Instead, our chakras combined and created a huge blast that killed everyone that were close. We killed many people that day, and although the villagers don't know about me, or what role you played, they know that you were involved. Too bad your father didn't know that until it was too late. You are the strongest vessel I've had since the Rokadaime
I flinch.
Did I hear right?
"Am I a killer?" I ask slowly, unable to understand anything at the moment.
Oh yes kit, you are. Just like me. Even though you're not a full blooded demon or a ninja like your ancestor, you are one of the strongest forces in this time. But you won't be able to fully use my and your powers until you kill someone in cold blood, with intentions of doing it, without any regret
"So I'm evil?"
The demon snorts.
Evil and good is just something humans have invented. There are those with power, and those without. Be happy kit, you're one of the fortunate with power. No one can hurt you anymore, so accept your memories and let them become what they are, memories.
I stumble to the floor, staring at my hands.
A killer.
I'm a killer.
A monster.
Suddenly the walls start to creak, almost like they were breaking.
Oh, I see that you're awakening. Bye until the next time, kit. Oh, and by the way, the price is now paid
I'm just about to ask him what he meant with that, but then everything goes black, and I see no more.
Third Persons' POV:
"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled as he sat down next to his fallen friend, shaking him.
"Wake up dammit!"
The blonde groaned and slowly opened his cerulean blue eyes. Seeing his friend, his eyes narrowed and he tore away, gritting his teeth.
"Get away from me! I don't want to you to get hurt!" He whispered.
Sasuke snorted.
"Why? It's not like you're dangerous baka, so take it easy!"
'he's mostly right kit, why are you afraid of hurting your friend? Your powers won't blow up in his face you know'
Naruto snorted, but relaxed and allowed his friend to come near.
"What happened to you? Why were you unconscious? And what's with your ears?" Sasuke blushed a little at the stream of questions, but continued staring at his friend with a determined gleam in his eyes.
"My ears?" Naruto said surprised. "What's with my ears?"
"They're pointy, and furry, like an animals." His friend said slowly.
Naruto raised a hand and touched his ear. Soft fur met his hand as he carefully stroke it.
'as I said kit, the price is paid. Every time you want something from me, I will ask for something in return. Be thankful it was something small this time'
"hey, it looks kinda cool you know." Sasuke said, smirking a little.
The blonde only shook his head and walked up next to his friend.
"Let's go to school now." He said quietly.
Outside a grey school a group of boys surrounded a smaller boy. The small boy smirked and whispered something to the person that seemed to be the leader.
The leaders' eyes narrowed as he laughed quietly.
Ah, now they finally had found a weakness. And what a weakness it was! Rock Lee smirked as his gang got inside the school.
Oh, they are really OOC, and I know that the piece with his dad was to mushy, but hey, it's my fic, right!
Please review:)
