Chapter 3
'Thwack, thwack, thwack...' came the bloody blows Uzumaki Naruto delivered to the blood coated training log he was mercilessly pounding. It always happened like this, since the day he was denied his dream. Each time he would have to find a new training log to pound, breaking the one he used every time.
The day he was stripped of his hitae-ate, was the day his heart broke. He didn't cry, that was for babies. Instead he bottled up his rage, keeping his fury just underneath the surface. Naruto remembered that he beat a log he found after he ran out of the village on one of the rarely used training grounds. After fifteen minutes, his hands and jacket were covered in blood, his hands had chunks of wood where his knuckles were supposed to be. Once his anger, pain, and unbridled fury finally reached its pinnacle, Naruto remembered hearing a crack, which he thought might have been his hand. Instead, he watched in fascination as his training log slowly toppled over, looking as if it was bleeding to death from all of the blood Naruto let loose on the chunk of wood.
He remembered watching in fascination as his hands glowed a strange type of red, nearly crimson, as that strange glow pushed out the wood chunks and sealed his cuts. Naruto remembered as his mind got accustomed to the healing power of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, his demon.
He remembered a want, no, a need to meet with that demon. Once his desire grew, he finally blacked out, landing in a sewer type tunnel, with water up to his ankles. He walked down the corridor, finally finding a door, and opening it, not fearing the beast on the other side of the door. Naruto had too much rage, too much pain to feel anything but.
The cage surrounding the massive beast was a typical cage... just massive. The beast in side had a manical gleam in its eyes, and a hellish grin on its face. Naruto was disgusted that this beast was sealed inside of him.
Coming closer, Naruto stopped as he noticed a flicker of movement, and the Kyuubi's paw millimeters from his face. For his credit, Naruto didn't even flinch, which just caused the Kyuubi's grin to become that much wider, that much more blood thirsty.
"Why are you here, gaki?" Came the booming voice of the Kyuubi. It was so loud, Naruto couldn't distinguish if it was a deep baritone of a male or the soft voice of a female. It didn't matter, in Naruto's books, the Kyuubi was no more than a thing.
"Why?" Questioned Naruto.
The Kyuubi only quirked a demonic eyebrow. That question was so open ended, it could pertain to anything. Before the Kyuubi could ask 'why what,' Naruto clairified. "Why did you attack Konohagakure no Sato? Why that day? Why?" Asked Naruto's pleading voice.
The Kyuubi only relished in the sadness it caused. The despair was a literal feast to him as he drank it in. It grinned wider, and gleam in his eyes, intensified as it replied, "Why? What a stupid question. The reason is simple," said the Kyuubi as it licked its chops, "I did it because I could."
Apparently that was the wrong thing to say, as his manical laugh was cut off. All four paws of the Kyuubi were suddenly clamped down by massive bear traps, causing a wail of pain and anger to emanate from the great demon. Before it could roar out its diapproval, all nine of its tails were nailed to the wall behind it, eliciting even more pain, anger, and anguish from the Kyuubi. Next, a heinous spiked collar appeared above the Kyuubi, turning so that once put on, the spikes would dig into the Kyuubi's flesh. Finally, a muzzle appeared out of the air, in front of the Kyuubi's snout. It too had spikes on the inside and Naruto slammed the muzzle over his prisoners snout, causing demonic blood to drip out of the various air holes.
"You, Kyuubi, are my prisoner. Your power is now mine, you will give it to me whenever I desire. Your will is mine, I will break it and build it back up to break it again as I see fit. Simply put, you are mine to abuse and punish as I see fit." To emphasize Naruto's point, a leash slinked down from the top of the cage, attaching to the Kyuubi's collar. The leash then jerked up, only allowing enough room for the Kyuubi to take shallow breaths, as its paws were yanked from the bear traps, causing long gashes across its legs.
"Welcome to hell, Kyuubi, I hoped you enjoyed your earlier stay, because for the rest of my life, you'll feel all the pain you caused Konohagakure no Sato." With that, Naruto left his mindscape, hearing the yelps and painful whines that the Kyuubi released.
'THWACK!' came the final blow to the bloody stump he had been pounding for twenty minutes. Instead of breaking, it shattered as Naruto's final blow came from above, sending wooden splinters in every direction.
"Time for Kage Bunshin training, I guess."
AN: A little faster this time I guess. I must admit, the last chapter got a lot of reviews, which made me update quicker. This I believe is the last non-plot chapter. This I hope illustrates how Naruto has completely dominated the Kyuubi. The next chapter will be introducing Jiraya, which I hope doesn't take away from the angst (I like funny characters, I don't like emo's). Plot will probably come after that, along with ACTION!
