Chapter 2 My Name is Kyukatsu Reikon

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi there, thanks for the reviews. If you haven't checked yet I've redone Chapter 1 after I was informed on the spelling and grammar mistakes. For those that asked about what Itachi does to Naruto don't worry that's what flashbacks are for. Hope you enjoy chapter 2. Thanks :).

"Blah-"- people talking

"Blah-" – people thinking

"Blah"- Kyubi talking

"Blah"- Kyubi thinking

xxxxxxxxxxx- barriers between flashbacks, new locations (ex. start at the Hokage's office then shift to somewhere in Suna), and time shifts (ex. two hours ago, three hours later etc.)

In the out skirting forests of Konoha a lone hooded figure stands on the branch of a tall tree observing area in front of him recalling his past.

"I guess it's time," said the boy. He started walking toward Konoha's main gates. He was about to head through the gate when two cloaked masked figures stopped him.

"Halt! State your name and reason for entering Konoha," asked the man with the Chunin vest on.

"My names Reikon, Kyukatsu Reikon. I come from the land of the Wave. I've come hear to enter the ranks of Leaf shinobi," said the boy.

"We'll need to see some paper work to authenticate you're identity, if everything checks out then you can make your request to Hokage-sama," said the Chunin, "until then you'll have to wait here with my partner."

"Alright then, I'll do as you ask," said Reikon. (Incase if you haven't figured it out Reikon is Naruto. Also he has a cloak and hood on so you'll find out what he looks like later.)

Reikon and the other Chunin were waiting outside the gate when Reikon heard a sound coming from the other side of the wall.

"Is there a party or something going on today?" asked Reikon.

"Yeah, today is the thirteen year anniversary of the Yondaime's sacrifice to seal the demon Kyubi no Kitsune," said the Chunin.

"Really, I didn't know that," Reikon.

"I really need to get a calendar, I forgot my own birthday," thought Reikon.

"So... what happens at this festival," asked Reikon.

"It's pretty exciting really, there's a big play held on a stage portraying the Kyubi's defeat, it's really funny. At the end of the play the head from the Kyubi costume gets dragged around the town and placed on a pillar at the town center. There are food and game vendors everywhere so everyone has lots of fun," said the Chunin with a smile on his face.

He didn't see it but Reikon face clenching his fists under his cloak trying to suppress his anger at this person and at what the village was doing.

"How dare they insult Kyubi-niichan like this, especially after he saved my life..."

Flashback, the day after Naruto's capture by Itachi

Naruto struggled to get up, he didn't know where he was. He merely hoped those two teens had stopped torturing him. He struggled and was able to get to his knees, the first thing he noticed was that he was in what looked like a sewer. He looked around, there was water everywhere, the pipes on the walls and ceiling were leaking and the walls were cracked and flaking.

"I guess they dumped my off here to die," Naruto said to himself in a whispered voice.

"Wait!" Naruto yelled as he started looking over his body, "but how?" All the injuries he had suffered at the hands of those two teens seemed to have disappeared.

"COME," a voice echoed through the sewer.

"What? Whose there," asked Naruto.

"COME..COME...COME..COME," the voice repeated.

"All right, all right I'm coming all ready," Naruto said starting to get annoyed at the voice.

Naruto started to trudge through the sewer heading in what he hoped was the direction of the voice. It took him a while but he finally made it to a large open area. There were massively large cage in front of him. He looked closely and saw that the gate to cage was slightly open. He looked around further and saw a piece of paper a few feet in front of him. He walked over to it and picked it up. On it was a single Kanji with the word seal on it.

"I wonder what this place is for," Naruto said to himself.

"IT'S MEANT TO HOLD ME PRISONER LITTLE KIT," a booming voice said from inside the cage.

Naruto looked into the cage, squinting his eyes to see if he could find what was in there. Naruto fell to the ground as a giant kitsune slowly appeared out of the shadows of the cage.

"Who are you," Naruto managed to stutter out as he started to back away.

"DO NOT FEAR ME KIT, MY NAME IS KYUBI NO KITSUNE," the giant fox said to the frightened boy.

"But your dead the fourth Hokage killed you," Naruto stuttered.

"NO LITTLE ONE, YOUR FOURTH HOKAGE COULD NOT KILL A DEMON AS POWERFUL AS ME. NO, KIT INSTEAD OF KILLING ME HE SEALED ME INTO A VESSEL," said Kyubi.

"Vessel," Naruto sad in a confused tone, "like a boat."

"NO KIT LIKE A CONTAINER USED TO STORE THINGS IN," said Kyubi.

"Why did he use this sewer," Naruto asked Kyubi.

"KIT, THIS IS NOT A SEWER. THIS IS YOUR MIND. YOU ARE MY CONTAINER, YOU ARE WHAT THE FOURTH HOKAGE SEALED ME INTO," said Kyubi.

Kyubi stared at the little kit as he saw different emotions being expressed on the child's face, shock, disgust, sadness, betrayal, understanding and finally anger.

"YOU!" yelled Naruto, "your the reason I've been miserable all my life why the grown ups looked at my with hate in there eyes, why no one ever adopted me, why I have no friends or family. It's all your fault." Naruto was crying at this point all the years of sadness starting to make sense. Naruto was on his knees now crying into his hands, trying to deal with the pain of being blamed for something he didn't do nor want to become.

"I AM SORRY FOR YOUR PAIN KIT," said Kyubi in a sad tone.

"Sorry, your sorry," yelled Naruto, "your the one who attacked Konoha your the one who killed all the shinobi, why would you be sorry?"

"BECAUSE KIT I WAS NOT ALWAYS LIKE THAT," said the Kyubi sadly.

"What do you mean," Naruto asked.

"I SUPPOSE IT WOULD BE BEST TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING KIT. YOU SEE KIT THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I WASN'T THE KYUBI NO KITSUNE, STRONGEST OF ALL THE TAILED DEMONS. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I WAS BUT A FOUR TAILED KITSUNE. I WAS KOOKY, I THOUGHT THERE WAS NOTHING OUT THERE I COULDN'T OUT FOX OR OUT FIGHT. COMPARED TO NOW I WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY DOCILE."

"What happened," Naruto asked, intrigued by the fox's tale.

"ONE DAY MANY CENTURY'S AGO I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH ONE OF THE DARKER REGIONS OF DEMON REALM WHEN I STUMBLED ONTO A STRANGE CAVE THAT HAD THE OPENING SEALED BY A POWERFUL SHIELD. BEING THE EVER CURIOUS KITSUNE I SPENT THE NEXT FEW MONTHS TRYING TO GAIN ENTRANCE INTO THE CAVE TO SEE WHAT SECRETS IT HELD. ON MY THIRD MONTH OF TRYING I FINALLY SUCCEEDED, I WALKED INTO THE CAVE AND FOUND WHAT UNTIL THEN I HAD ONLY THOUGHT WAS A MERE LEGEND. THE FUCHI NO ANKOKU (Pool of Darkness), A POOL MADE OF PURE CONDENSED KAGE CHAKRA (shadow chakra). IN MY FOOLISHNESS I UNDERESTIMATED ITS POWERS AND PLUNGED INTO IT IN AN ATTEMPT TO ABSORB ITS MIGHTY POWER. BUT IT PROVED TO BE TOO MUCH FOR ME. I WAS ABLE TO ABSORB THE CHAKRA AND GAINED FIVE NEW TAILS, BUT THE CHAKRA HAD CORRUPTED ME INTO A BLOOD THIRSTY KILLER. FROM THAT DAY FORWARD I WAS THE DREADED KYUBI NO KITSUNE.

"So if you became that way in your world, how did you get here," Naruto asked, he was starting to feel sorry for what happened to the fox.

"IT DIDN'T REALLY HAPPEN ON PURPOSE KIT, YOU SEE KIT NOT TOO LONG BEFORE I CAME TO THIS PLAN OF EXISTENCE I CAME UPON A FOUR TAILED VIXEN WHILE WONDERING THROUGH MY TERRITORY IN DEMON WORLD. SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL, SHE HAD SILK-SOFT FUR THE COLOR OF FRESHLY FALLEN SNOW AND EYES THE MOST ENTRANCING SHADE OF BLUE I HAD EVER SEEN. SHE WAS ABLE TO CALM DOWN MY RAGE AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN CENTURIES I WAS AT PEACE. SHE AND I BECAME MATES AND HAD THREE KITS OF OUR OWN."

"What happened after that," Naruto asked.

"ALL GOOD THINGS NEVER LAST KIT, ONE DAY NOT FOUR YEARS AGO AS I WAS HEADING HOME TO OUR DEN SMELLED THE SCENT OF BLOOD AT THE CAVE WHERE WE LIVED. WHEN I ARRIVED I FOUND MY MATE AND KITS SLAUGHTERED. I ALSO FOUND THE REMNANTS OF A TRANSPORTING SEAL NOT FAR FROM THE DEN WITH THE HEAVY SCENT OF SNAKES AROUND IT. THE RAGE OVERTOOK ME; I TRANSPORTED MYSELF TO WHERE THE SEAL LEAD TOO AND FOUND MYSELF IN THE HUMAN WORLD. I THEN FOLLOWED THE SCENT OF SNAKES RIGHT TO KONOHA. YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS FROM THERE I WAS DEFEATED AND SEALED WITHIN YOU. THOUGH, IT WASN'T UNTIL A COUPLE OF YEARS OF BEING EXPOSED TO YOUR HUMAN EMOTIONS THAT MY RAGED FINALLY SUBSIDED. THAT IS MY STORY KIT I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE ME FOR THE WRONGS DONE TO YOU BECAUSE OF ME."

Kyubi again watched Naruto as a thought about what the giant fox told him.

"I believe you fur ball," Naruto said with a grin on his face. "But what now can you take me back home?"

"I'M SORRY KIT BUT THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE."

"Why not?"

"YOU SEE KIT, AFTER THOSE TWO PEOPLE WERE THROUGH WITH YOU THEY SET YOUR APARTMENT ON FIRE. YOUR BODY WAS BURNED BEFORE I COULD GET IT OUT. COMBINED WITH THE OTHER INJURIES YOU SUSTAINED YOUR OLD BODY IS USELESS NOW," Kyubi said sadly.

"What you mean I'm dead!"

"NO KIT, YOU SEE IN ORDER TO SAVE YOU I FUSED OUR TWO BODIES TOGETHER. IT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH TO HEAL YOUR OLD BODY QUICKLY ENOUGH SO I MADE YOU A NEW ONE WHILE YOUR OLD BODY IS BEING REPAIRED."

"You can do that Kyubi," Naruto asked.

"YES KIT I CAN, BUT I'VE DONE MORE THEN THAT. YOU SEE I HAD TO SEPARATE YOUR HUMAN CHAKRA COILS AND THE DEMON AND KAGE CHAKRA COILS THAT I HAVE."

"Ooh, ah, what are catra cools," Naruto asked.

"CHAKRA COILS KIT, THAT IS WERE THE SPIRITUAL ENERGY THAT HUMANS AND DEMONS HAVE IS STORED. WHEN YOU USE JUTSU'S THAT IS WERE YOU DRAW THE ENERGY FROM."

"Ooh, wouldn't I be stronger then with them not separated," Naruto asked.

"YOU WOULD KIT, BUT THE DEMON AND KAGE CHAKRA WOULD CORRUPT YOU AND TURN YOU INTO A MONSTER JUST AS IT DID ME. YOU SEE WHAT I DID FIRST WAS TO SEPARATE YOUR ORIGINAL HUMAN COILS. HALF STAYED IN YOUR OLD BODY AND THE OTHER IN THE BODY I CREATED FOR YOU. THE DEMON CHAKRA IS IN YOUR OLD BODY WHILE THE KAGE CHAKRA IS IN YOUR NEW BODY."

"So, why was my chakra separated," Naruto asked.

"TO KEEP ENOUGH OF YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT INTACT SO YOU WON'T BECOME CORRUPTED KIT," said Kyubi.

"So what happens now Kyubi," Naruto asked the large fox.

"CURRENTLY YOUR IN A SECLUDED AREA OF THE DEMON WORLD, YOU'LL BE HERE FOR ABOUT NINE YEARS SINCE IT SHOULD TAKE ABOUT THAT LONG TO HEAL YOUR OLD BODY."

"Nine years, what am I going to do for nine years," Naruto yelled.

"I'M GOING TO TRAIN YOU KIT, WITH MY TEACHINGS AND POWERS YOU'LL BECOME A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH," Kyubi said, "THAT WAY KIT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU CAN NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN."

Naruto thought this over.

"I can be stronger, I won't be pushed around anymore," Naruto thought.

"Let's do it Kyubi, I don't want to be weak anymore," Naruto said with fire in his eyes.

End Flash back

Reikon started walking toward the Hokage tower after the Chunin came back to say that his paper work checked out. It was a ten minute walk to the Hokage tower and another five minutes to wait outside the office.

"You may go see the Hokage now," the secretary said to Reikon.

"All right, thank you, Reikon replied.

"A welcome, I've been informed that you wish to become a leaf shinobi, your in luck. The Genin testing was just held yesterday and the new teams will be posted tommyrot," the old Hokage said from behind his desk, "but we will have to test you first to see if you qualify."

"Yes Hokage-sama, but do you think that the two ANBU watching me in the corners are really necessary?" Reikon asked amused.

The two said ANBU appeared in a poof of smoke. The Hokage looked shocked at Reikon.

"How did you know they were there?" he asked.

"Chakra pulse." Reikon stated

"But only…"

"Yes Hokage-sama," Reikon said as he lowered the hood on his cloak, "I'm blind."
