Words of power

The meeting of so many powerful people in the village normally spawned many rumors, and today was no different the collection of the Hokage, Sharingan no Kakashi, Jiraiya of the Sannin, the head of the medical board, and the Anbu Captain had many heads a stir. Naruto had awoken from his short coma and had called out for many names all at once his eye were sharper blue than normal almost the color of ice chips, and his normally sunny disposition was grave. He was escorted to the Hokage's office by two Anbu who had just arrived on the scene. Once he arrived had sat there with a glazed look in his eyes, staring at a specific point on the desk where he had seen the nine tailed demon fox perched not even an hour ago.

"Explain what it looked like for me." Naruto said in a quiet voice as the gathered people stood around the office. Several glances passed through the room before the Anbu Commander cleared their throat and took a single step forward.

"I was frontline duty when the Kyuubi attack took place, the beast's fur was the color of red blood flowing, rippling muscle under its fur was as plain as day to see as you would see a cloud, It's massive tails slapping left and right caused destruction far and wide, and the very presence of it caused a malicious aura of Killing Intent that overwhelmed several of the weaker shinobi by mere proximity within one quarter of a mile. It was huge, towering over the Hokage monument and still going even further if it had cared to, and when enraged it launched a ball of dark energy that it had gathered at its mouth by focusing all nine of its tails almost as tunning rods for the energy. When your father, Lord Fourth, displaced it with his Hirashin no Jutsu we could still see the explosion from miles and miles away." Their voice was still modulated but Naruto was beginning to suspect this person was a female, but he couldn't quite place why immediately. Their way of speaking and descriptiveness reminded him of someone he couldn't quite place.

"It could launch Elemental Manipulations using it's tails." Sarutobi said quietly. "Old Stories tell of how its tails could start fire storms or cause earthquakes. In legends it says that I could cause natural disasters with a mere flick of them. These are no fiction, I personally stopped a firestorm myself with a quick Doton release that if I had not would have killed an entire platoon of Chunin. I saw an entire battalion burned alive after the swipe of one of its tails left an inferno of fire in its wake on its opposite side. Its destructive capabilities are unmatched."

"The wounds left by the Kyuubi's chakra are notoriously difficult to heal, resistant to any normal attempt we had to spend precious time drawing the Malevolent Yokai away before we could heal any damage, and that's not to speak of the energy itself which seemed to sear and burn the skin itself as if a rampant infection was moving at a thousand times its normal pace." The medical lead said stiffly.

Naruto grimaced and put a hand to his chest before speaking quietly after taking a deep breath. "When I found the Kyuubi inside my mind, it matched none of those characteristics." Naruto said after a moment stunning the room. "It was small, maybe sitting two feet high in total its tails longer than its body. It was sitting right there on the edge of the desk, it had blue colored fur with white tips on the end of its tails and feet. Its tails while longer than its body were short and rounded not long and thrashing like you described. It was calm… and it offered me a deal." The air in the room became thick and heavy.

"Surely you did not willingly deal with a demon especially after you had been warned." The medical examiner lamented loudly. It had been almost this exact same group of people who had warned the boy that the demon may try to trick him into a deal, if he had ignored the warning the consequences could be dire.

"No, I did not. It said that in the coming years it would work with me, make deals to allow me access to its power freely, but for now it would help me as a show of good faith. I've… been having problems. I had hoped I could deal with it on my own but… Fighting in crowds is becoming near impossible to do effectively, there's to much information coming in to process it all. The Kyuubi offered me a taste of its battle lust, of its single unwavering focus on the destruction of its enemies. It also wanted Jiraiya to look at the seal to prove it had not done anything and to check on subjoint twenty-two of the sixth trigram, it said there is potential build up there."

Several looks were passed around the room as Naruto lifted his shirt and across his chest the incredibly intricate seal blazed to life as chakra circulated the pathways of the self-governing flow network that his body kept fueled at all times. The incredibly intricate seal started at just below his collar bone, and from there spiraled downward across Naruto's exposed chest expanding to wrap around his chest fully encompassing his ribs and the sides of his stomach with its size. It all came together as a single line connected the completed fully revealed seal to his navel, a tether to the monster contained inside the boy's body. Both Jiraiya and the Medical Lead moved forward as Naruto put his hands at his sides. What a day it had been…
