Chapter 5: The Prisoner vs. The Warden. Naruto vs Kyuubi.

It had been almost a month since Naruto had begun his sage training. To the shock of his teacher's Naruto had learned sage mode quickly. Naruto quickly found out the perks of the technique. He began creating combinations and moves that utilized the enhancement of his speed, strength, and reach. He also making some ways to use these to enhance his use of the Rasengan. Naruto also learned of the time limit with sage mode and helped himself by using his shadow clones to infuse more chakra into himself.

His other teachers helping him learn ways to use it to his best. Kushina and Minato helped him keep things at their best during stressful situations and Hamura, Ashura, Indra, and Hagoromo were helping him learn how to harness it for jutsu.

At the time, Naruto had gained enough strength and skill to fulfill the next leg of his training.

We join our group of great men and women in the main training area. Naruto sat in his new mission outfit, sans his jacket and mask, and had his hand held out as his father wrote special seals on his right hand. this was the key to the eight trigrams sealing method. To put it in more readable terms, it was the key to death reaper seal.

In three days, the time limit for the sage training that Bahamut had set would be up and he would be back to begin training Naruto in his art. With Naruto's mastery of sage chakra and sage mode, the Hamura and Hagoromo both decided that it was time for Naruto to face against the beast that had burdened his life.

As his father went over the last bit of his work, Naruto glanced down at the nervous face of his mother.

"Mom, don't look so nervous," the boy said, "you're going to start making me nervous, dattebayo."

Kushina smiled at her son and said, "I know, but even I didn't do this when I had the Kyuubi's chakra. I just feel so nervous right now, dattebane."

Naruto nodded at the group. Despite his confidence showing, Naruto was internally very nervous. He was about to go toe-to-toe with a force of freaking nature! He was bound to feel nervous.

Minato gave the all clear on the seal as he backed up.

Hagoromo stepped forward and said, "Now, Naruto, before you go, please, walk me through the steps that we told you."

Naruto nodded, as he knew this was a very delicate process.

"First, I enter my mindscape. Once there, I may have to face a representation of myself. Once I get past him, I'll find myself at the Kyuubi's cage. Once there, I unlock the seal, grab the Kyuubi's chakra with my own, and pull it out of him. Did I leave anything out?"

Hagoromo answered, "There are a few things. First, when you approach your inner self, do not fight him. He will be able to match you blow for blow. Second, you must be careful when you try to remove the Kyuubi's chakra from him. If you are not careful the hatred within that chakra may overwhelm you."

Minato then continued, "There is also the Kyuubi himself. I really doubt he'll willingly give you his chakra. You should expect him to retaliate…very violently."

Hamura then added, "You also must be wary of what happens when you grip the fox's chakra with your own. Just as you pull his out, he can pull out yours and you know what happens when you run out of chakra."

Naruto nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going in. Wish me luck."

Naruto then sat down and took a meditative pose, as shown to him by Hagoromo. After a moment, Naruto was completely still.

With nothing else to do, Hagoromo used his Yin chakra to conjure up some chairs, as this would be a long process, and they all sat down.

All the group could do now, was watch and wait.

Inside Naruto's mind…

As Naruto stood inside of his mind, there was only one thought going through his mind.

'I have really got to do some redecorating in here.'

The place was, essentially, a giant sewer. Naruto stood on top of a large body of water, with large cement walls and ceiling surrounding him. Naruto could also make out large pipes going through the walls and ceiling and going around in zigzag patterns. Thankfully, the place didn't have the typical sewer smell that Naruto had known from some very…unpleasant D-rank missions.

Naruto then proceeded to walk down the long corridor. After a few minutes of walking Naruto found himself entering a large chamber.

Naruto found that it was significantly larger than the corridor, with a round dome-like ceiling and the water being diverted through channels, leaving a large round slab, almost arena sized, in the center. Naruto proceeded to leap up from the grimy sewer water and landed on the round slab.

"So, you finally showed up," a familiar voice said.

Naruto was immediately aware of the voice. He recognized it as his own.

There was a sudden burst of black smoke on the other side of the concrete slab. When the smoke faded, it revealed Naruto, a second Naruto. He looked exactly like the original except for a few key differences. The first was that the sclera of his eyes were completely black, and the iris of his eyes were completely red with no visible pupils.

"I take it you're that inner darkness the old sage warned me about," Naruto said crossing his arms.

The dark Naruto simply laughed and said, "Yeah, I am. I'm every bit of repressed anger, frustration, and hatred you've buried away in your heart. I'm all that negativity given form."

Naruto simply stared at his internal anger and said, "Wow…edgy much?"

Dark Naruto growled before charging forward and throwing out a brutal right cross, dodging with ease. Naruto simply stepped back and avoided the punches.

Dark Naruto growled angrily before jumping back and performing a familiar cross seal with his hands

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Dark Naruto and five clones charged forward and aimed.

Naruto simply went through hand signs as they all leapt at him.

"Water Release: Water Wall."

The murky water surrounding the arena shot forward and formed a wall around Naruto. The clones attacking him impacted the wall. Naruto then sent out a burst of lightning charka through the wall, shocking the clones causing them to disperse in their signature puffs of smoke.

Dark Naruto charged as the wall fell and shot out at Naruto again. Naruto simply sidestepped the attack. Then he used his inner darkness' own momentum against him and sent him flying over his shoulder.

Dark Naruto growled and got back up. He snarled at his outer self with a dark look in his black and red eyes.

"What are you waiting for?!" he asked impatiently, "Attack me, damn it!"

He charged again, only for Naruto to perform a substitution with a log. Don't know where he got it from, but it's his mind so who cares?

Dark Naruto roared in anger and looked around furiously before finding his original self.

"Why won't you fight back, damn it!?" Dark Naruto roared in anger.

Naruto kept himself calm and said, "Because, it's pointless. Like the old sage said, you would match me blow for blow. Plus, I don't have any reason to fight against you."

Dark Naruto laughed and said, "No reason? For all the crap that those bastards did to us over the years? The neglect, the shunning, rotten food, and then our team, our classmates and all that crap that we had to deal with because of some lazy bigoted teachers?! Don't you remember any of that?! I thought you wanted revenge of Konoha for what they did to you!"

Naruto glanced at his inner darkness and spoke.

"I want payback alright," Naruto answered, "They'll get what's coming to them in due time. I want my revenge. I want to make them pay for what I went through, but I won't let it consume me like it did someone else."

Dark Naruto growled angrily as he charged forward again. This time, however, Naruto caught the punch and then proceeded to slam his fist into his copy's stomach. There was a brief flash of chakra and light, then he was gone.

Naruto blinked a bit. He looked around for a moment, confused. When he realized nothing else was going to happen he began to move towards the large door at the other end of the room.

"Well, that was easy," he said to himself, "Now for the hard part."

Naruto entered the chamber and made his way across the room. Naruto was immediately greeted by a familiar sight. At the opposite end of the chamber was a large cage. Inside of his lay the massive force of nature itself, the nine-tailed fox.

The fox opened his eyes as Naruto approached.

"So, you finally showed up, did you brat?" the fox said, "What does my jailor want with me now?"

Naruto didn't answer as he approached the cage. The boy then floated upwards, thank you mind control, until he was at eye level with a large paper seal that sat in the center between the two doors of the cage. He took a moment to glance at the seal before tearing it off revealing a circle shaped tumbler with a spiral shape in it.

Both of Kyuubi's eyes were open now as he raised its head at Naruto's actions.

"What are you up to boy?"

His question was again met with silence. Naruto lifted his shirt up, exposing his stomach. As Naruto began focusing his chakra the seal appeared. Naruto held the bottom of his shirt in his teeth as he rolled up his sleeve. The seals for the key appeared and five flames of chakra appeared on Naruto's fingers.

The blond then brought his hand to the seal on his stomach, bringing an instant reaction. The seal on the boy's stomach became slightly large and more complete, with a larger spiral in his stomach.

After taking a moment to clear his thoughts, Naruto looked up right into the eyes of the fox. Then he turned his hand as if it were a giant key. The spiral lock began to unravel, hollowing out the circle, with the same thing happening to the seal on Naruto's stomach, leaving only a black circle.

As soon as the lock on the cage was empty, Kyuubi shot forward throwing open the cage doors and knocking Naruto back. The beast roared angrily sending out a shockwave that knocked Naruto back.

"Now I get it," the fox snarled, anger apparent in its voice, "You wish to have control over my power!? You may have gotten some help from the sage and his sons, but even then, you are still just a pitiful human!"

The fox threw back its head, and all nine of its tails pointed in front of its open maw. Red and blue chakra began focusing, forming a red ball.

Naruto's eyes widened as he knew what this was, having heard of the Tailed Beast Ball from old man Hagoromo. Naruto formed two clones, who quickly began aiding Naruto.

The first clone shot forward going through hand signs for a technique.

"Steam Release: Unrivalled Strength," the clone said as steam began rolling off his body, his skin taking a pinkish tint to it.

The clone then formed a rasengan in its hands, that gained size until it was the size of a beach ball. The clone drew his arm back and called out the technique.

"Steam Release: Rasen-Cannon!"

The steam chakra enhanced technique shot forward as the clone who launched it vanished having used all the charka used to form it. The ball of chakra shot forward, leaving a trail of steam before it slammed right into the still forming ball of energy. The two attacks met. The Tailed beast ball was destabilized and exploded right in the fox's face. The fox let out a cry of pain but quickly shooting through the smoke.

He looked out at the boy who dared attack him only to find the second clone vanish as the original finished forming another rasengan variant. This one in the shape of a massive glowing ball with a shuriken blade wrapped around it.

"Wind Release: Rasen-Shuriken!"

The attacked soared forward, expanding into massive blast. The Fox was prepared however as a massive jet of flame erupted from the fox's mouth. The flame wrapped around the technique, destabilizing the wind chakra and burning the air. The attack was soon reduced to nothing.

Naruto let out a grunt of frustration, just as the fox shot out of the smoke with a swipe of its claws.

Naruto jumped back to avoid the claws, and proceeded to go on the defensive, dodging the fox's surprisingly prehensile tails.

Naruto dodged left and right to avoid the attacks, with so many however, Naruto quickly found himself with his back turned to Kyuubi's head, which turned out to be a huge mistake. The fox shot forward, its mouth wide open.

Naruto felt this coming and just before becoming a morning snack for the large creature managed to replace himself with a log…where from, nobody knows.

The fox looked around, looking for his opponent with a frustrated growl.

"Where are you boy?!"

A familiar sound got his attention, the fox looked up to see Naruto standing on ceiling. In his hands was a steadily growing orb of chakra in his hands, however, something was different. Naruto's eyes were now yellow and his whisker marks had become thicker and darker, now resembling a trigram.

Naruto shot down with the large ball forming in his hand.

"Sage Art: Massive Rasengan!"

The fox tried to launch another blast of fire, but Naruto fell too fast and slammed the massive attack down on the fox's skull, causing flames to blast out from between clenched teeth. The water on the ground was splashed aside, and the ground underneath it cracked with a loud boom.

Naruto, to help thing along, quickly went through certain set of signs.

"Sage Art: God Strength!"

Naruto launched past the Fox and grabbed one of his tails. Naruto then gripped the fur, and, with a loud grunt, Naruto pulled and brought the fox into the air, causing its eyes to widen in shock, in a rather comical way. Naruto then proceeded to slam it into the ground with a loud boom and another rush of water. Naruto then proceeded to lift him up and slam him down again.

Feeling that the fox was dazed enough, Naruto focused his chakra, causing a ghostly version of himself to appear over his shoulder. The ghostly version and the original grabbed the fox's tail with their chakra and began pulling.

"Pull, damn it, pull," Naruto growled as he and his ghostly duplicate pulled back on the chakra, separating it from the large beast.

The fox, while dazed, wasn't completely out of it yet. The fox got up and snarled with nothing but rage in its eyes. The light blue charka Naruto pulled from the beast's tail started turning red. Before Naruto could react, the crimson chakra flowed into his body.

Naruto was hit with various memories. All the insults, the loneliness, all the bottled-up frustration and anger Naruto had suppressed over the years, and defeated just a few minutes earlier, came flooding back, breaking his concentration, and ending sage, mode.

"You wanted my power boy, so here it is," the fox snarled angrily, "Just give in and become another piece of my hatred."

Outside Naruto's body…

Naruto's parents and teachers had been watching the boy for the past few minutes. When Naruto's markings indicating his use of sage mode came out, they knew that Naruto was no doubt locked in battle with the tailed beast.

Kushina and Minato both gasped in horror at seeing a large amount of red charka begin pouring out of Naruto's body. To their added horror, the skin on Naruto's right arm began burning and peeling away, leaving a black and red mesh of muscle laced with chakra. The hatred coming off the serene looking boy was so thick you could use a cleaver to cut through it.

"What's happening?" Kushina asked, panic lacing her voice.

Hagoromo answered "It would seem Naruto has begun to pull on the nine tails' chakra, and he has been exposed to the pure hatred the beast unleashes."

Minato, concern etched into his face, said, "Well, can't you suppress it."

Hamura shook his head and said, "At this point there is nothing we can do. If we try to bring him out of this state now, the chakra will overload and kill him. All we can do is hope that his will overwhelms the hatred."

The father and mother wanted to say something, but they held their tongues. They saw that, despite their calm demeanors, the others were all nervous. The pair turned to their son, who entire right half had now, burned and peeled away, black and red mesh all over his body, burned clothes, a solid white eye, and a jagged looking mouth. The smell of burned clothes and meat hit their noses almost making them vomit.

The two calmed themselves and sat down again.

Minato took his wife's hand to help keep her calm, an action she returned, as they looked at their son, praying to the three goddesses that their child would survive this ordeal.

Back in the human world…

Kyuubi laughed with a smile as he saw Naruto fall to his knees.

Naruto's brain was swimming with all the insults that had been sent his way by those blinded by anger and loss. All the negative remarks from his past teachers, classmates, every time Sakura hit him when he asked her out, and all those times Sasuke had made him look bad or just plain showed off.

Naruto's mind was about to break before something hi him like a ten-ton weight. This was all his past. He had moved on past all of this. He had two loving parents, teachers who wanted him to succeed, three loving fiancés, and there were those in his village who didn't look down on him.

Lee respected him as a fellow hard head and hard worker.

Neji had his respect for defeating him.

Tenten had respected him for beating Neji and proving him wrong.

The other members of his grade, sans Sakura, Ino, and Sasuke, all seemed to acknowledge that Naruto had grown and gotten stronger.

Naruto growled as his eyes regained that familiar fire. Naruto then let out a defiant roar as the red color of the chakra he had grabbed began to recede, regaining its normal blue color, shocking the fox. The blond then proceeded to yank the stream of chakra to the side, causing it to break.

The boy leaned his head back and took a calming breath as he felt the beast's chakra enter his body. He felt power course through him. Naruto quickly reactivated his sage mode.

The blond turned towards he beast.

"Okay, fur ball," Naruto snarled out, "I've had it with your crap. Let's finish this! Mass Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

In large blasts of smoke, a small army of shadow clones appeared.

Naruto and his clone army charged forward with roars of determination.

The fox snarled and yelled, "Don't get cocky just because you took some of my chakra brat!"

The fox focused chakra into its mouth before throwing back his head and firing a barrage of crimson blasts upwards. Soon gravity took control and they fell to the army. The blasts hit the ground, exploding on contact and picking up a large wave of smoke.

The fox snarled and crouched down, knowing form his experience in this battle that that alone would not stop the boy. Despite his hatred towards his jailor the boy had earned some of the beasts' respect.

He was proved right as the familiar sound of a technique being formed. His attention was drawn when Naruto leapt up into the air with a Rasengan in his hand. The ball grew and grew until it was massive. Naruto descended as he called out his technique.

"Sage Art: Massive Rasengan!"

Naruto swung the massive swirling ball of destruction. The fox brought up his tail to block the attack, being pushed down and forming cracks in the ground beneath him.

This proved to be a mistake as multiple clones immediately shot out of the smoke. The fox turned his head as three charged for him going through hand signs.

"Ice Release: Ice Spears!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

The first two clones breathed out cold air that quickly solidified into ice, forming large javelin projectiles. The two vanished as the third blasted a wave of wind before vanishing in a puff of smoke. The two projectiles shot forward, propelled by the wind, and shot towards the fox' eyes.

The fox screamed in pain as the two projectiles slammed into its eyes. The creature was temporarily blinded. The pain resulted in the fox losing its concentration on its tails. The original's technique slammed down on its head and pushed down to the ground with a resounding boom.

A few more clones went through hand signs as they all unleashed a special technique they had developed over training, that they were saving for in case they fought an oversized opponent.

"Typhoon Release: Breath of God!"

The clones unleashed a massive wave of wind that blasted the fox nearly point blank. The massive blast was so powerful the creature's upper half was completely lifted off the ground.

Naruto's remaining clones proceeded to leap into the air, taking the initiative to unleash one final blast of power on the fox. Each one created the massive one of Naruto's massive rasengan variants.

"Sage Art: Massive Rasengan Barrage!"

The small army of clones slammed into the fox causing it to scream in pain. the massive barrage pushed the fox back a good distance, forcing it to dig its claws into the ground to stop it. Still blinded however, it couldn't see, but it could feel that a lot of Naruto's clones had grabbed onto him and pulled out streams of chakra before they leapt back.

The original stood between them and yelled, "Pull!"

As they began to pull the Kyuubi snarled as it began to focus charka into its mouth again. It still couldn't aim, but he could feel where the chakra was intending to aim for that. Naruto wasn't going to let it get another blast off like that. The boy charged forward, and formed a familiar ball, with a shuriken of wind wrapped around it.

"Rasen-shuriken!"

The technique slammed into the beast's skull and grew into a massive size, easily eclipsing the fox's body. The fox screamed in pain and anger as he tried to push back against the technique, but was unable to do so. The fox was pushed back again.

With the combined might of the Rasen-shuriken pushing against it and the clones pulling in the opposite direction, the fox's charka was ripped from his body. The Kyuubi crashed into the opposite wall of the room, while a ghostly version of it stood in its place.

The clones all cheered in victory as the chakra was absorbed into Naruto's seal and they all vanished in a puff of smoke.

Naruto just stood back and let the chakra be absorbed into his body. Naruto's body then flashed as a startling change came over the boy's body.

His eyes had turned orange, but unlike the other times he used the Kyuubi's charka his pupils had remained the same. His clothes now glowed yellow with an orange flame-like aura surrounding his body. The seal was present on his stomach with black markings on his front, sleeves, with two rows of magatama like markings near his neck and chest. On his head, the yellow chakra formed what looked like fox ears.

Naruto examined himself with a surprised expression. The power he felt was incredible. It was almost overwhelming.

"Wow, so this is the nine tails' chakra," Naruto said out loud, "No wonder so many people wanted to get their hands on it for so long."

Meanwhile, Kyuubi was not happy. The fox's vision finally started to clear up, blinking away tears and irritation. The fox turned towards Naruto and growled angrily.

"You…YOU!" The fox snarled as it threw back his head, "DAMN YOU BOY!"

The fox began forming another attack. Naruto's eyes widened as he saw the Kyuubi still had a large amount of power, even after having his chakra removed. The tailed beasts truly were terrifying and amazing creatures. However, Naruto wasn't going to let the fox get the shot off.

Naruto placed his hand over the seal on his stomach and said, "Even without charka you still have the power to pull that off. You really are amazing."

Naruto twisted his arm like he was turning a key, but this time in a different direction. Almost immediately six red gates fell from the ceiling and pinned the fox's tails, all four legs, it's back and its neck.

"The six paths?!" the fox shouted as the door for the cage appeared, repaired from being smashed open, and began to close. As soon as they shut, the fox was completely enveloped in darkness. One only eye could peer out from the darkness at Naruto, still full of rage, loathing, and hate.

"Naruto…you had best watch your back."

With that Naruto turned to leave and muttered to himself, "Maybe I can convince old man sage to talk with the guy. Might help the old fur ball deal with that anger problem of his."

Back in the real world…

When the Kyuubi's chakra faded away the group watching was relieved. However, their relief was turned to shock when Naruto body changed into this new form.

"Aw, that is so cool!" Kushina said, "Why couldn't I have done this years ago! I would have looked so awesome like that, ttebane!"

Minato turned towards his wife and answered, "The only known place that we could do so was Kumo."

The red head simply said, "Never mind."

Naruto stood up and looked at his hands flexing his fingers as he examined his now glowing hands.

"Whoa," Naruto said, "this feels…kind of strange."

Hagoromo nodded and said, "That is to be understood. You are using a great amount of power that you've never had access to before. Now, I believe that it is time for lunch. We can work on your control of this form after you eat."

Naruto nodded as he turned back to normal. The group went back into the house, with the others giving Naruto congratulations on his accomplishment.

The boy in turn felt a great deal of pride. He was one step closing to fulfilling his destiny.

The elemental nations, the village hidden in the Rain…

A figure sat alone in the darkness. His body broken and pale, attached to various machines that kept him alive. His hair was red and his eyes were peculiar, completely purple with a black dot as a pupil and a ripple pattern surrounding it.

This was Nagato, the true form of the Akatsuki Leader, Pain.

Nagato was in deep contemplation. He had heard of the man who defended the ichibi jinchuuriki a month ago. No doubt when it came time for them to collect the tailed beasts they would run into this man. However, the boy showed great skill, strength, and a small amount of ingenuity. No doubt he would become stronger by the time they would be able to collect the nine tails, given how long it would take for it to return.

The true leader of the Akatsuki closed his eyes in contemplation. His eyes snapped open as he reached a decision.

"Konan," he called, "We need to talk."

Moments later a door opened, and the Akatsuki's blue haired angel entered the room.

"Yes, Nagato?" she asked, concerned and curious as to why he had called her here.

The red-haired paraplegic looked at his oldest friend and said, "I have been thinking Konan. Perhaps we should not be idle in the time it takes for the Kyuubi to reform."

Cut! Sorry for the long wait everyone, this chapter took a lot of time for me to write as I had to go through the battle between Naruto and Kyuubi before writing this. I stuck mostly with the original script of the fight with an element or two from the Ultimate Ninja Storm Game. Now Naruto has access to his nine tails chakra mode and is preparing for his training with Bahamut and Mavis, which will begin next chapter. Meanwhile Nagato, the true leader of the Akatsuki has heard of the masked Naruto's defense of Gaara and knows that this will lead to future conflict. What will this mean for the Akatsuki? You'll just have to read to find out.

Now, before we end I want to the run down on a few of the new, and I hope original jutsu use by our hero today.

Steam Release: Rasen-CannonA steam chakra loaded version of the Big Ball Rasengan. This version can be thrown or used at close range. It can best be used with the Steam Release: Unrivalled Strength to increase output, go farther distances, or to hit the target harder.

Sage Art: God Strength – Naruto based this off the Steam Release: Unrivalled Strength technique. It uses the same principle, building up sage chakra in the arms to boost the user's already insane strength. Too much however, can result in the arms turning to stone.

Ice Release: Ice Spears – inspired by the anime only technique Certain Kill Ice Spears, the user focuses ice chakra, or water and wind charka, into their mouth to launch an icy spear. For a larger and more devastating effect the water in the air can be used as well as the water surrounding you.

Typhoon Release: Breath of God – this technique is an enhanced version of the Wind Release: Great Breakthrough technique. A lone person can send a few people air born with this technique, but if multiple people, or clones use it, they can move something as large as a tailed beast.

If anyone has any idea on another technique they want to see, let me know in the reviews.

All constructive criticism is welcome…all flames will be ignored.
