Chapter 3: Naruto's little secret
*Mindscape*
Inoichi lands on a floor covered in water, slime, sludge. Looking around as he had never been inside of Naruto's mindscape, just through his memories. Even then Inoichi saw enough to make himself sick. Looking around he noticed several pipes leading in all directions.
Inoichi went up and inspected a pipe, noticing how it was bent at an awkward angle. As he got closer to the pipe, he noticed that it had a fist shape dent in it. As he turned he noticed the same thing on another pipe, and more further down as the pipes ran-off into the distance.
Inoichi followed the dents until he started to hear the sound of yelling and battle cries. As he slowly stepped up to the edge of the hallway he saw that two Narutos where fighting one another. Neither one was giving an inch, both of them were fighting ruthlessly. Finally they broke apart breathing hard.
'Shit, I gotta find out which one is the real Naruto and which one is his other personality. That way I can at least limit the personality.' Inoichi thought to himself.
"Well are you ready to give up your body?" The left naruto asked
"Why should I give up my body, You'll just go on a rampage. Just like today." The right one stated.
"It was not a rampage, they were trying to hurt our friend." The left naruto retorted, jumping at the right one with a raised fist.
"We would have stopped them, we already had Hinata's father under our thumb. Why couldn't you have left it like that." The right Naruto asked the left one, as he grabbed the fist and slammed him into the ground.
Upon hearing the right Naruto say 'Hinata', Inoichi knew which was the real Naruto. Rushing forward before either one had a chance to move, Inoichi placed his foot on the fake Naruto.
"Naruto, are you all right?" Inoichi asked, worried that the child might have damaged his psyche further.
"Doc? What are you doing here?" Naruto asked in amazement.
"I came to help, yet it looks like you are doing a good job of letting your psyche go." Inoichi told him.
"So, you're the doctor that's been helping my main try and control me. Quick question, if you are here. Then your body should be empty?" The other Naruto asked before he threw Inoichi off and rushed toward a bluish-green light.
"Shit, I never thought anyone would have guessed I have to pour my mind into theirs to be able to walk in their mindscape." Inoichi told Naruto. "So does your other self have a name?"
"Yes, his name is Fox. And if he goes into a body of a jonin, with anbu training. He'll kill every person around. Including Ino." Naruto stated flatly.
"Shit, let's go. I know a shortcut to my psyche." Inoichi told him, grabbing Naruto and pulling him down a different hallway, stopping only when they come to a door.
"What is this, I thought you just popped into my head?" Naruto asked.
"Always have a back-up plan." Inoichi told him simply. With that Inoichi opened the door and stepped through.
Naruto looked around the new mindscape and saw that they were in the White Lily.
"Wow, I thought everyone's mindscape looked like mine." Naruto told Inoichi.
Inoichi went behind the counter, " Nope, with training and time. Your mind can be like this one. Neat, organized, and workable."
Suddenly there was a ring from the doorbell as the door was pushed open. Fox had his eyes closed, smirking.
"Oh I wonder what torment I can do in this body." Fox asked himself.
"I wouldn't know, the owner is back in." Inoichi told Fox.
Fox's eyes bugged out. He saw not only Inoichi, but Naruto here also. As he turned to run, he saw that the door he had came through was now just a wall.
"Tea, Naruto-san. Fox-san please take a seat." Inoichi told the broken psyche.
Fox turned to see that the mindscape had changed to where Inoichi and Naruto were sitting at a table with a tea set in the middle and three cups. A tray of snacks were off to the side.
"What the fuck is going on?" Fox asked.
"You are in my psyche now, I can change it to whatever I want. So, before I get angry. Please take a seat. So we might discuss the details of an arrangement." Inoichi motioned to the empty chair.
Fox sighed, knowing that he had been defeated for now. "Fine.", Fox replied as he sat down and picked up the now full cup of tea. "What's the arrangement."
*Real World*
Ino landed beside Hinata, looking over and seeing her dad in that stance she knew that he was in there with Naruto.
"Hinata, are you okay?" Ino asked.
"Yes, but what's wrong with Naruto?" Hinata asked in a worried tone.
"I don't know, but my dad's in there trying to figure out what it is." Ino replied with a tone of respect toward her father.
"How long will it take?" Hinata asked, worried that Naruto will never out and that monster will be there in his place.
"I don't know, I've seen dad do this once." Ino told her. Ino had been seven, and her dad had used this move on a young man with black hair. Her mother had called for her before she could see the end result though.
"It all depends on the mind of the user, it might be 3 seconds, it might be 3 years." A voice behind them explained.
Turning they saw that Shikaku Nara was standing there, watching his friend play mental tug-of-war.
"Uncle Kaku, is dad going to be alright?" Ino asked.
"He'll be fine, as long as he doesn't pass out from chakra loss." Shikaku told the young blonde.
Looking at his watch, he went up to Inoichi and put a chakra pill in his mouth. Force feeding the pill as he and Choza watched their friend.
"How is he doing Shikaku?" An elderly voiced asked.
Turning Shikaku saw the Hokage had appeared and bowed slightly. "He's doing the best he can Hokage-sama. I just wish we had got to Naruto earlier."
"We knew that something like this was going to happen, sooner or later. Now I must go ask how this came about." Sarutobi told the Nara head.
Turning Sarutobi walked up to Hinata, "Hello Ms, Hyuga. Might I have a word with you?" Sarutobi asked the young girl nicely.
"Yyyyes, Hoooookage-saaaama." Hinata stuttered out and followed him.
As the two entered into Hinata's room, she blushed in embarrassment at her living conditions. A bed and dresser with a chair was against one wall and a bookshelf above a small desk that was covered in scroll's on clan law and jutsus. Overall the room was a slightly messy.
Sarutobi paid the mess no mind and sat down on the bed, patting the bed gently he told Hinata to sit down.
Hinata sat down next to the grandfatherly Hokage.
"Now, Hinata. If you would please, tell me in your own words what happened tonight. I have good instincts that Naruto would not do this for unjust reasons." Sarutobi prodded her gently.
"Hia, Hokage." Hinata replied then started to recount what had happened from the Hide-Seek test Anko had performed, to the hot springs, *Sarutobi laughed at what Naruto did with Hinata, Hinata was blushing deeply and steam was almost coming off her.*, how Ino had "convinced" her to go shopping, and the date with Naruto, finally being interrupted by her family members in which Naruto stopped them with a excessive force.
"Hmmmmm." Sarutobi sighed, "Thank you Hinata, I think that I know what happened now. I'll let you gather your thoughts before you come join us. I must talk with your father now about needing to get a better control on the Hyuga elders."
"Thank you Hokage-sama, one question." Hinata asked the aging Hokage.
"Yes, my dear?" Sarutobi asked the young lady.
"Why is Naruto like this? What happened to him, to make him like that?" Hinata asked the old man.
"huuuuu, For that I need to talk to your entire team." Opening the door, he called for Ino to come in. Ino, who had been a few yards away entered the room to see Hinata with a confused look on her face.
"Ino, please sit. I'm about to tell you an SS secret. It happened eight years ago..." The aged Hokage started.
*Flashback summoning Jutsu*
Naruto was currently running after the orphanage had kicked him out for being a "pest". A group of civilians and shinobi had saw this and started after him. Naruto had tried to lose them through alleys and shops. It was for not, soon Naruto was caught in a dead end.
"Please, I've never did anything to you. Why are you attacking me?" Naruto pleaded.
"We are going to take you to a secret place to get rid of you." One of the shinobi told him with a snarl.
Suddenly a rope was thrown around Naruto's neck, choking him as he was pulled into a warehouse. After a short way into the warehouse, the rope was pulled up to have Naruto barely standing on his toes.
"Guys, this is a child." One of the younger Chunins told the older Shinobi.
"If you don't like this then get out!" The Shinobi that had the rope, as he was tying the rope off.
Author's Warning: If you are squeamish or not used to blood, the imagination of torture or almost death. Please skip to the next Author's Warning.
Naruto dangled, barely breathing. One of the Shinobi pulled out a Kunia, slowly started carving a piece of Naruto's bicep.
Naruto screamed, suddenly he was quitted by a fist hitting his jaw.
"Shut-up you beast, this is for my father." The Kunia wielding Shinobi told him.
Another took out a senbon needle, "Here, I'll paralyze his vocal cords."
"Good idea, then he won't scream. We can be here for hours, hell even days." The Kunia wielding Shinobi smirked.
The senbon Shinobi stabbed Naruto's neck, hitting Naruto's laryngeal nerve. "There, that's done." Pulling a large box over he opened his bag and pulled out a rolled-up cloth. "It's time to play, how long can a demon last." Opening the cloth, many medical utensils were set out.
"Ohhh, you really outdid yourself. How did you get all this K-" The Kunai Shinobi was about to ask.
"Shhh, if he lives he might be able to identify us. No names. Now, who would like to go first?" The medical Shinobi asked the rest of the group.
A mean looking man with a large potbelly came forward, "I will, my wife is dead cuz of this monster."
"By all means, choose your instrument wisely." The medical Shinobi told him, gesturing to the tools.
The man picked up what looked like to be a meat hook that had serrated teeth on the inside.
"Ahhhh, this instrument is used to grip and tear muscle from the limbs. Good choice, now choose a limb." The medical Shinobi pushed the potbelly man.
The man grabbed Naruto's left arm pulling it out in front of him. "This is for my wife." With that the man slammed the hook into Naruto's arm and set it, then slowly inch by inch tore muscle away from bone.
Naruto's mouth opened and closed with no sound, tears pouring down his face from the pain. Finally, Naruto's eyes glazed over. Seeing that he lost consciousness, the Chunin threw a handful of salt on the wound.
The salt purifying the tear, Naruto jerked up. Wordlessly screaming, the young boy's body jerking from the pain.
"Who's next?" The Shinobi smiled.
The next person came forward and picked a different tool, the same with the next one, and the next. This went on for hours, or days. Between the tools of torture and of the salt packed wounds that barely healed when it would start again. The men kept coming and going, some came in with others, some just themselves.
Finally an elderly man came forward, looking at the tools, he just shook his head.
"Give me your Kunai." The man told the first Shinobi.
"Sure, whatcha gonna do old man?" The Shinobi as he handed the elder his Kunai.
"Destroy him, for he killed my only son." The elderly man replied, with reflexes and swiftness that even surprised the Chunin that were present. The man stabbed the blade into Naruto's side, going up his ribs and down to the other side. As if he was carving a pig. He slowly pulled the belly down, being very gentle to not disturb the organs that were there.
"Now that I can watch your heart stop, demon. You must die." Naruto's eyes were filled with sad tears as the elder plunged the Kunai into the young man's skull.
"Hey old man, what the hell was that." The Shinobi whose Kunai he used exclaimed.
"My lineage is over, I have my revenge. Now let me leave." The old man told the Shinobi.
As the men outside were arguing, inside Naruto's mind things were just getting started.
*Naruto's Mindscape*
"Why, why do they do this to me. I never wanted this." Naruto started to cry.
Suddenly he was wrapped in a warm hug, he turned to see a copy of himself holding the young man.
"I'll protect you, you don't have to worry about anything. I'll be your protector, anyone you wish to be precious to you. I will also protect them. I give you my word that no harm shall fall upon you while I'm here."
"Who are you?" Naruto asked his double.
"I'm you. Name's Kyoki, but seeing that we both have whisker marks. How about you just call me Fox." Fox smiled a predatory smile.
"Will you really protect me?" Naruto asked unsure of the new double.
"I promise, and I never break a promise. That's my nindo, my ninja way." Fox replied, holding out a hand to Naruto. "Now, let's go meet the Big guy."
"Big guy?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, I guess you can call him the Kyuubi." Fox replied as he started down a hallway.
Naruto followed him, until they came up to a large cage door. A paper with the word Seal was on the door.
"What is this place?" Naruto asked.
"This is where Kyu is, if you want a better location on your body, the diaphragm." Fox explained to him.
"Who is there?" A loud voice spoke out, suddenly a crimson red eye opened. Bloodshot and filled with hate.
"Yo, Kyu. Long time." Fox smirked.
"Kyoki, I thought me and my last container got rid of you." Kyuubi snorted, nearly blowing Naruto off his feet.
"Nope, just been hanging out somewhere. No, not gonna tell you." Fox told the giant fox with a smirk, letting him know he had a ace up his sleeve.
"Let me guess, my container is in mortal danger. And you want to use my power. What do I get out of this deal?" Kyuubi asked.
"How about a front row seat of the carnage, on villagers and Shinobi that have your precious container trapped and almost dispatching him?" Fox asked him, in a cold and deadly tone.
"Huh, That sounds like fun. I'll give you a quarter tail's worth of power and I'll also push this nasty Kunai out of your head for ya." Kyuubi told his container with a sinister grin.
"But I have so many questions." Naruto told the Kyuubi.
"Later, I'll contact you when you are more capable of handling more of my power." The Kyuubi replied.
"Thanks Kyu, as a reward." Fox turned to Naruto. "Can you dry out the place. I really hate the smell of disgust and waste."
Naruto looked at him then closed his eyes. In half a second, the water was gone. Replaced with grass that looked green and inviting.
"Huh, looks like this is going to be an interesting life." Kyuubi commented, before closing it's eye and going back to sleep, on his new grass bed.
Fox turned to Naruto, "Now, let's get to work." With that he turned and headed to the spot that Naruto appeared.
Naruto followed, "What are you going to do?"
"Just scare them."
"Okay, but don't kill anyone."
"I'll try not to. But do have in mind that if they try to kill me after I dispatch a few of them. Then they will leave me with no choice." Fox replied.
Naruto nodded, as he knew that from time to time Shinobi had no choice but to kill. Even though he never liked to harm anyone.
"Anyways, LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" Fox yelled.
*Outside*
Thum. All the adults that had been arguing looked over to see the young child standing with the rope cut from his neck, the Kunai that had been lodged into his head was now in his hand.
Fox smirked at their stunned faces, "Party time." Fox grinned a grin that made Death look like a happy baby.
Many of the adults released their bowels and turned to run. Only to see that the only escape was blocked off by the child that they had strung up for days, pulling his abdomen back into place.
"Where the fuck do you bitches think you're going." Fox told the terrified group.
"You can't kill us. The Hokage will destroy you." The Kunai shinobi told the young male.
"Oh, well technically you did kidnap me and torture me for days. SO I think he'll make an exception when I kill traitors and scum that would do this to a child of the village." Fox replied.
With that Fox rushed forward, grabbing the male by his head and stabbing the Kunai through his eye, pushing till just the hilt was showing. As the male fell, Fox used his body as a springboard and jumped onto another male and slit his throat with a now clawed hand. As that man fell, the rest of the group had grabbed tools of their torturing and started to rush the young male.
As the first one swung the serrated meat hook down, Fox grabbed the hand right before he could hit him. Ripping the hook from the man, "This tool is for the legs, excellent for destroying tendons and rendering your opponent incapable of the use of walking." Fox informed the male. Fox swung the meat hook down, setting it into the man's shin and yanked up. Peeling this peroneus muscles from his leg and popping his kneecap off.
After Fox had finished with the man, he swiftly dodged as another man attacked. Person after person attacked, Fox dispatched them again and again.
Until finally it was just Fox and the elderly man. "My my, aren't you a lil to old for this kind of thing?" Fox asked the elder.
"Hmmm, you are a monster. Just look at this carnage that you have done here." The old man replied.
"Oh, this. No I was never a monster. You people made me like this." Fox replied. "My container, he never hurt anyone. Except through some harmless pranks. Yet you turned him into the village pariah. So I think that a lil payment is in order, and since you almost killed him... well let's just do this."
Fox rushed forward, grabbing the old man. He picked him up and slammed him to the ground, cracking the man's head against the floor. That didn't stop the young man, he reached forward and slid two finger down the elder's face, until the caught the edge of his eyes. Fox pushed slowly, his claws entering the man's eyes. Suddenly he jerked his hand back to him, popping the old man's eyes from his sockets.
"Now, you'll be blind to the world and receive the truth." Fox told the man. He got up and walked to the door, looking back at the carnage that was strewn around the room.
"Well this will be a problem." Fox replied, opening the door just enough to get out and walked about a quarter of a mile before an ANBU suddenly appeared before him.
"Naruto, are you okay. You've been missing for a week and half." The raven masked ANBU informed the young boy.
"Raven-san, what's going on. A group of men..." Was all Naruto replied before he passed out, the Kyuubi's chakra taking effect on the young boy.
Raven caught the blonde boy, "Boar, Tiger. Search the area, see if you can find anything."
The two Anbu looked at their captain and rushed off to find anything, they came across the only way they could describe the scene was from the worst horror movie they had ever seen.
A/N: You may look again, just to inform you. I threw up a lil writing this section of this chapter. I am a human being, I do not wish to be seen as a psychopath.
*Hospital*
Naruto was laying in the Hokage's private room. Sarutobi stood by the edge of the bed.
"Who would do this to a boy this young, regardless of what he carries in him." Sarutobi spoke out to Raven, the Anbu stood on the other side of the young blonde.
"I think that he had a psychological break. If I may, I would like to take the boy under my care. In secret of course, but I'll train him to be the best he can." Raven told the aged Hokage.
Sarutobi looked at Raven as the Anbu removed their mask. Raven was in fact fourteen year old Itacho. Itacho, had at age 12 become an ANBU captain and had master the first stage of the Sharingan at age 7.
"I only wished for Naruto to have a semi-normal childhood. But I guess that this will have to be." Sarutobi sighed, the amount of paperwork that this incident had was a strain on the aging Hokage.
"Well, this sound fun." A cold voice stated as the two adults suddenly turned to the young blonde.
"Naru..." Itacho started to say.
"Nope, name's Fox. Naruto is sleeping, I think the young thing has been through enough right now. Let's talk turkey about training me." Fox informed the young female ANBU.
Itacho nodded, looking at the Hokage. Sarutobi nodded also.
"Fine, let's start with..." As fox started talking.
*Author Flashback End*
Both Hinata and Ino were crying with looks of horror on their faces. Ino from hearing what Naruto had to resort to just to escape from the torture. Hinata from hearing how the villagers and Shinobi had treated a young child.
"Now you know his secret, I hope that you two will continue to grow and hold him to you as friends. Maybe more, he needs all the support he can have if he is going to win his internal battle with this devil." Sarutobi explained to the young kunoichi.
Hinata stood, "I'll never give up on Naruto-kun. He is a friend and a loved one. I'll stand with him through hell it's self if I have to. He'll never be alone."
"I'm with Hinata, we'll make sure that he's taken care of Hokage-sama." Ino told the elderly Hokage.
Sarutobi looked at the young ninja's in front of him and saw a spark. It was tiny, almost nonexistent to most people. But the old man saw it, the will of fire was there in these two ladies. He had also seen this spark in Naruto's eyes whenever he was training in secret. This will would carry the next generation forward.
Smiling, Sarutobi nodded at the two girls. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Hokage-sama, Inoichi is back. Naruto is being transferred to your private hospital room. What should we do about Hiashi Hyuga and the Hyuga elders?" A Cat masked ANBU asked the aging Hokage.
"Regardless if it was a clan matter, they attacked one of my ninja's and forced them to defend themselves. Thus, I believe that if there is no infliction of severe damage to the Hyuga clan. We may be able to let them off with a warning."
"Hokage-sama, their only appears to be dislocated arms and hips, maybe a few broken knees. He didn't intend to kill anyone, it was a warning." Cat told the Hokage.
"Oh, I think Hiashi got the message. 'Do this again and I will destroy you.' I do believe that is the message right Hiashi?" Sarutobi asked the Hyuga head.
Hiashi really didn't care for the Hyuga elders, what they had did without his authorization. This was not going to happen again. "Yes, and I'll see to it that the people that tried to incite this incident are dealt with."
Sarutobi nodded. Walking away, he came across Inoichi.
"Inoichi, status report." The Hokage ordered his best mind-diver.
"Well..." Inoichi started.
*Inoichi's mindscape. Ten Minutes ago*
"So, let's make a deal." Inoichi told Fox.
"No." Fox replied with a solid tone.
"Why is that?" Inoichi asked, curious at what the personality had to say.
"This is a conflict between myself and my bearer. Outside interference is not needed. SO if you'll allow us, we'll be going now." Fox explained to the Jonin.
As Fox tried to stand up, he fell forward. Landing on his knees he looked back to see that he was wearing leg cuffs.
"What the fuck, you whiney ass bitch. Trying to pull a slick move. I'm impressed." Fox retorted to the blonde Jonin, his expression going from anger to respect in a span of two seconds.
"Now, our deal. Let's go say hi to Kyuubi, and hash out the finer details with it." Inoichi suggested.
Naruto agreed, Fox just sighed. "Fine, let's go see the fucking furball."
Inoichi lead the two boys to the door to Naruto's mindscape.
*Naruto's Mindscape*
Naruto stepped through to his mindscape, seeing that the grass that he had placed here the first time was starting to dry out he reformed it to a nice green once again.
"Follow me, we can go see Kyu through this way." Fox replied, his hands in his pockets.
"Okay. Then we'll go this way." Inoichi told the young blonde. Turning the opposite direction from where the blonde started to go.
"Hey, what the hell." Fox jumped at the Jonin, suddenly he found a Kunai to the back of his head.
"You really want to try that. You might have ANBU training and be a captain. But your counterpart is a Genin, and we are in his mind. You are slower and less powerful because of that. So I suggest you don't try anything like that again." Inoichi explained to the now weakened ANBU captain.
"Pfff, your just an ass-hat. Let's go to fucked-up furball." Fox told the mind walker.
As they walked, Inoichi noticed that the grass became softer and more animals were running around. Soon they came into a room that was covered in grass with some trees and a small picnic table in the middle of it.
"Hey Kyu, what's you been up to." Naruto asked out loud.
"Naruto-kun, your back for a visit." A young woman with Auburn red hair that ran down to her feet and dragged behind her replied before rushing over and tackling the young blonde.
"Uhhh, who is this?" Inoichi asked.
"This Inoichi-san is the Kyuubi no Kitsune." Naruto stated, Kyuubi stood and bowed to the blonde Jonin.
Before him stood a five foot eleven inches tall woman, her eyes were crimson and slitted. Her body was something women would have died for, an ample chest size that flowed down her hips and cupped her firm backside. Her hair was actually down to the middle of her back, and nine red tails trailed behind her. A red dress with black solid stripes down the side, hugged her body, solidifying her wondrous look.
"But, wha, huh?" Inoichi was flabbergasted at what he was witnessing. He always thought that the Kyuubi was a male.
"Oh, if you're wondering why I'm a female. Imagine your vocal cords a thousand times bigger. You would sound like this. Is this what you remember?" Kyuubi demonstrated.
Inoichi blanched in fear from the voice. Quickly shaking himself, he nodded.
"Now, Ms. Kitsune. I would like to tell you of a deal I wish to make with Naruto's dual personality."
"Dude, I'm standing right here. Dumb-ass" Fox told the two ninjas and tailed beast.
Turning to face Fox, Kyuubi grinned just a little too sweet. "Fox-san, be a good boy and go play. The adults are talking."
Fox felt a shiver go down his spine as he saw the look that Kyuubi supported. Fox turned and went to go play with the little animals.
"Now this deal. What is it, and would you like some tea?" Kyuubi asked Inoichi as Naruto had already sat down and was drinking some.
"Yes please, as you can probably be aware. Fox went on a little rampage when the Hyuga Clan tried to enforce clan law on a younger Hyuga called Hinata." Inoichi explained.
Kyuubi held her hand in front of her mouth, "Oh my, I do like Hinata. I hope that nothing happened to the poor girl."
"Well she was fine, never the less. It has come to our attention that Fox needs to have a handle put on him. So we are trying to find a compromise to this destruction that he is capable of." Inoichi explained.
"Oh, well this will be easy. Fox come here now." Kyuubi told the young boy.
Fox trudged over, "what now you bat-shit hacked down ugly ass excuse for a furball."
Kyuubi turned to him, "Excuse me?"
"You heard me, or are you getting deaf to you old hag." Fox replied with sarcasm dripping from every word.
They pot that Kyuubi was holding suddenly melted as if it was on fire. As she turned to the young boy, the handle was all that was left and it was glowing white hot.
"Kyu, don't do anything you might regret." Fox told the Kitsune.
"Oh me, why I'm not going to do anything. Naruto on the other hand..." As Kyuubi stepped to the side.
Naruto was cracking his knuckles slowly one by one. His smile was an exact copy of Fox's predatory grin.
"Did you say something teme?" Naruto asked his dual personality sweetly.
"Yep, and you ain't gonna do anything." Fox told him in a enforced tone.
"Oh?" Naruto asked, then clocked Fox in the face. Smashing his nose and busting his lip.
Fox skidded back, wiping away the blood from his face. "That's it you motherfucker."
Fox rushed forward, kneeing Naruto in his stomach. Naruto grabbed Fox by his head and slammed his own head forward. Further busting the personalities' nose. Fox retaliated with a elbow to Naruto's jaw, that sent the boy flying.
Inoichi watched these actions and saw that the boys were matched. Which begged the question on how strong Naruto really is.
"Oh, my Naruto-kun. Always a gentleman." Kyuubi sighed as she sat down. "Anyways, here's the deal. I'll keep Kyomi in check as he will only be allowed to run free if Naruto's life is in mortal danger. Other than that, It'll be all Naruto. Of course I can't say what he'll try to do while Naruto is out. But if it ever come's to Naruto about to die, Fox over there will have access to my chakra and be forced out of Naruto, making him Naruto's dominant personality. At least until the danger is passed." Kyuubi explained to the stunned Jonin.
"I will inform the Hokage at once about this." Inoichi told the red-headed vixen.
"Good, now..." Kyuubi went over to the beat up two boys, picking one up by the ear she slapped a collar onto his neck.
"Hey, what the fuck you hag of a furball." The boy yelled. Showing that he was Fox.
"Listen here you little punk, I've had about enough of this bullshit you've been trying to pull with Naruto." Kyuubi started berating him. "This collar will only go away and reappear when life threatening danger is around and gone. Do you understand, what I'm saying."
"Yeah, yeah. Crazy furball hag." Fox shot off. Naruto slugged him again. "Kyu, is a beautiful woman. Now stop being an ass. Sound's like your going to be here for a long time."
"Well that depends on how strong your will is Naruto." Kyuubi told the young blonde.
"Whatcha mean?" Naruto looked at the vixen with a confused look.
"If your will is weak then, Fox over there will overtake you and slaughter everyone around you. Regardless if they are friend, foe, innocent. Hell, he would kill his own mother if he could get away with it." Kyuubi explained.
"Oh, so I just have to stay strong." Naruto told the vixen.
"That and never lose resolve in what you believe in. Never forget that you wish to protect the one's you love. If you lose that then he will break free. Now that the rules have been established. I think I need a word with Fox here about manners." Kyuubi told the two ninja.
Fox started to crawl away in fear. Only to have himself be pulled up by one of Kyuubi's tails.
Inoichi nodded, thanking the vixen for the tea. Kyuubi grabbed Naruto before he left and kissed him hard. "You had better hurry with that thing I asked you to do. I can't wait to get my claws on you."
"I'm working on it Kyu, anyways I'll see you later." Naruto told the vixen.
Kyuubi nodded, smiling gently. As Naruto disappeared, the vixen turned to Fox. "Now young man, it's time to learn why I'm called the Queen of Hell."
*Currently with Inoichi, Sarutobi, Ino, and Hinata at the private Hokage hospital room.*
"You mean to tell me that if Naruto ever is mortally wounded or he loses his resolve that, that monster will be let out to rampage?" Sarutobi asked.
"Yep, that's the jist of it." Inoichi replied.
"Well that won't happen. We won't let it happen, right Hinata." Ino stated, looking at the Hyuga heiress for support.
"Yes, wwwwe won't let it happen." Hinata reaffirmed Ino's statement.
"With that in mind, now that you know why Naruto is like this. Are you two still willing to be beside him, through missions. Through trying times and dangers." Sarutobi stated.
"We are." Both heiresses told the Hokage.
Sarutobi nodded, "Then both of you report to your instructor tomorrow morning. I'll tell Anko what happened tonight."
With that, the three ninja left, not before Hinata and Ino both placed kisses on each of Naruto's cheeks.
Sarutobi smiled as he adopted grandson lay in the hospital bed. "Oh Naruto, I envy you so. To have not one, but two clan heiresses in your hand."
Naruto lay sleeping, not knowing what went on in the world as he dreamed. Sarutobi ordered a few Anbu to watch him, and if he woke to call him at once.
That's a wrap on chapter three. The flashback to what Naruto went through allowing Fox to appear was so heart and gut renching that I almost said F $& IT. But, I finished for my fan's even though they are few. I hope you enjoy this R&R. Be back Next week with a new chapter.
