"Speech"

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or get any profit from writing this story. I do this for my own purpose of having fun.

Naruto sat there worried

He sat there thinking of the questions to come wonder to answer truthfully or not

Deep in concentration till he noticed Sakura get pissed and Shikamaru get surprisingly annoyed as well

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO! First off "Ass boy" over here kicks out Hinata to have a talk with Naruto she leaves crying and nothing happens and then you-"

Shikamaru grabbed her shoulder stopping her from saying any more seeing naruto's hurt face.

"First things first why do you want them here but Hinata couldn't?" Sakura asked a with a pout

Neji looked up at the young blond and was about to answer till Shikamaru cut in

"I feel Neji doesn't think she's ready to hear this subject yet. If you can tell we three are the smartest of our peers, Neji is probably looking out for her best interests." Eyeing Neji

Sakura looked at Shikamaru confused then got her bearings and started listening intently feeling a whole new level of importance to this story

"S-so N-Neji… what do you want to ask?"

Neji cringed worrying if it was a mistake to snoop in on Naruto.

"Naruto …" was all Sakura could say seeing naruto's worry when it came to what Neji was going to ask

While Shikamaru sat trying to look indifferent but was also hanging onto the conversations every word.

"Naruto I want to know about your second type of chakra-"

To which Naruto made an obvious cringe at the question

"And I also want to know about your coils system and why you have such powerful seals covering your entire body"

Naruto then looked shocked "what do you mean my entire body? Don't you mean my stomach?" He asked obviously worried

"No it's covering your whole body only your stomach is visible though the rest covers the rest of you body mainly the face. There's no point playing dumb!"

Sakura then got a grasp of the subject at hand and sat at attention looking shocked and only uttered a single word in a shaky voice…

"Kyubi"

Shikamaru heard the young women next to him and just panicked

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN KYUBI!?"

There was a loud crash of plates being dropped throughout the restaurant and a panicked gasp by the rest of the customers.

Naruto's eyes shot huge in disbelief yelling in his mind 'HOW COULD SHE SAYTHAT OUT LOUD, JUST CAUSE I TOLDE HER DOESN'T MEAN SHE CAN TELL EVERYONE. IS THIS HOW SHE REPAYS MY TRUST?'

Even in the back of his mind he heard the Kyubi laughingyelling "some friends you got there kit now you will get the life you truly deserve" but Naruto was too stunned to even respond.

Neji sadly sure wasn't

He stood up knocking the table and turned to Sakura yelling "WHAT DO YOU MEAN KYUBI YOU TRYING TO SAY NARUTO IS THAT DEMON"?

Naruto still hadn't moved

"That beast was killed by the yodamie there isn't a chance Naruto is the 9 tailed fox!"

Neji at this point was yelling more to convince himself rather then Shikamaru and Sakura

But he still couldn't help but worry

What if it's true could he be the demon, he has those whisker marks, that toxic chakra his incredible strength

What… what would that mean…?

Sakura was too ashamed at what she said without knowing to respond to any of this.

Shikamaru wouldn't make a decision until he heard the full story

Everyone's eyes were on Naruto

"Come on boy tell them, go on scare them all away. These petty friends of yours, send them off screaming so they can tell the rest of the village and then you could be all alone with just the big bad demon, the one person who hates you the most in this entire world"

All Naruto could do was shake in anger

"You won't have a single friend, not even the adults will associate with you after what you did to the old pervert."

"No one wants you; no one wants the demon child around them. Why don't you just pull off the seal so I can your entire existence?"

DO IT BOY WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR YOU DAMN-

SHUT UP!!

Naruto was now covered in two tails worth of the Kyubis chakra and hyperventilating in furry

He stood up and back handed the table he was sitting at out the 2nd story window with out giving it a second thought

WHAT REASON DO YOU HAVE TO JUDGE ME FOR SOMETHING I CANT CONTROL

No one could even breathe seeing the anger in Naruto's face

I NEVER DESERVED THE WAY I WAS TREATED AS A CHILD AND I SURE AS HELL DON'T DESERVE IT NOW. YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF DAMN BLIND BASTARDS YOU ALL MAKE ME SICK.

At the end of his sentence the demonic chakra pulsed out like a rocket causing a few civilians to pass out and all of the plants in the room to wither and die.

He stood there looking at his friends trying to calm down, but was useless being too hard with his friends faces covered in fear of the 15 year old.

He was about to apologize until the owner of the restaurant came out of his nervous jitter yelling his head off"

"Y-You better stay away f-from th-those kids I don't care if you're a demon I won't let you ruin the rest of the children of the village you destroyed all those years ago"

Another man stood up to help the restaurant owner

"That's right it doesn't mater what the Hokage's have said you're a monster and nothing more"

3 more stood

WE SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE

Naruto couldn't even respond as more and more people stood up to help the restaurant owner not a single person would come to his aide…

Not even his…Sakura Chan…

"Sorry guys"

He walked out the door trying to sort out his emotions - blowing out the wall to the left of the door on his way out

And he just walked through the streets back Konoha's for next few hours cursing as he tried to force back down the chakra

///Back at the sushi shop right after Naruto leaves///

YAAYYY WE SHOWED THAT DEMON

NEXT TIME THAT FOX BASTARD WONT SHOW HIS SMUG AROUND HERE HAHA

DAMN REALLY SHOULD OF DONE ALL OF THAT LIKE WE SAID

HAHA YEAH WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH BETER THIS PLACE WOULD BE

And after that everyone went back to there seats and continued to eat in almost a festive mood.

But Sakura Neji and Shikamaru still hadn't moved from their respective seats

Even with the table flung out the window it left them in an odd position

And Naruto's little outburst essentially proving the story the had said didn't light up the mood

"So what does this mean … this isn't a very clear story all we know is that Naruto has Kyubi no kitsune's power. But no reason to how or why he has the power"

"Its obvious most of the village knows…" Neji chimed in

"It's… its so confusing"

Causing to startle the two geniuses'

"Ok Sakura what's the story what have you learned about his situation so far it's not fair for me and Shikamaru not to know the truth about it"

"…All I know is that he has the 9 tails in him, other then that all I know is his strength while using the Kyubi chakra is controlled by how intense his emotions are

How strong are we talking about here Shikamaru asked scared?

Biting her lip there was a silence she had said enough already was it right

"I don't think I should say…"

"This is a mater of village security we need to know"

In hardly what you could call an audible tone she mumbled

Healmostbeatorochimaru

"What?" They both chimed in

In the same voice she said

Hecandefeatorochimari

Troublesome… we can't understand you Sakura tell us for kami's sake

Now she was to scared to even hold back she said in a frustrated yell

When he lost control he took on Orochimaru without a scrat-

She stopped after realizing she said the worst thing a person could possibly say

WHEN HE LOSES CONTROL?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!

The boys barked back fearing for there lives now

The whole restaurant was once more dead quiet

They knew what the children were talking about

And now hearing the boy would go out of control at times and that when he did he was strong enough to take out the legendary 3 by himself was the last thing they wanted to hear

A man near the 3 shinobi stood up and picked up Sakura and held her in the air

the man had a scar across his face and had the natural tan of the 3rd Hokage but now hearing those words he was shaking and as pale as the moon

"You must be kidding right tell me the truth please"

Sakura could only look away disgusted in herself for what she had done and probably could not undo, to naruto's life

ANSWER ME!! IF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS TRUE THAT DEMON COULD DESTROY ALL OF FUCKING KONOHOA!!

"EH!"

The man holding Sakura turned to see Neji showing more anger in this one instant then his whole life ever did.

Standing up he talked in a normal volume voice but with enough anger to make the man wish he was

"She isn't doing anything wrong now put her down before you have to deal with us also she is Hokage sama's apprentice by the way"

The man looked angry and lowered her back down to her feet

"well either way… we need talk to the Hokage… we need to stop the coming future… before its to late IF THAT MONSTER IS EVEN HALF OF WHAT SHE SAID NOW , IMAGINE WHAT HE COULD BE LIKE IN A FEW YEARS!"

Everyone shivered at the thought including Sakura, Neji and Shika

Sakura had finally got her nerve back and was furious with a sad undertone of panic

Think Tsunade

"BUT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM… YOU DON'T KNOW HIS DREAMS HE IS A GOOD PERSON AND HAS SAVED EVERYONE OF HIS FRIENDS THAT HAS EVER NEEDED AS I SEE IT… IT SHOULDN'T MATER IF HE IS THE KYUBI'S CONTAINER OR NOT HES A GOOD PERSON AND I BELIVE HE WILL BECOME HOKAGE AND YOU WILL EAT YOUR WORDS SEEING HOW HE ACTS"

"Ha-ha" (came a cruel laugh) as they looked over and saw another "Jounin Do you honestly think the current Hokage, the council of the city or better yet THE PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGE will let him become Hokage. Hokage is one everyone must trust, who is going to trust that demon? HA it just proves the ignorance of the boy to attempt that dream what a dob-"

Cut off by Sakura's fist he was sent flying out the window Naruto broke earlier leaving him dead or close to it

"NEXT PERSON TO CALL HIM A DEMON IS GETTING THAT TEN TIMES WORST, I COULDN'T GIVE A CARE IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW IF HE WAS A DEMON A SNAKE OR DEATH GOD UNTILL YOU MEET HIM YOU WONT JUDGE!!..."

"It maybe true that us 3 do not know the full story and we don't know how we will feel once were done finding out … BUT WERE NOT DECIDING ANYTHING TILL THEN, SO FOR NOW YOU CAN ALL ROT AS YOU LIVE YOUR LIFES OF PRECONVIED NOTION'S AND can go rot in hell

The three friends walked out the door still wondering of the story thinking of what was to come for there friend and the entire village in the coming days till they couldn't stand it any longer and went to there respective homes to sleep

End flash back

///With Naruto///

Naruto came up to the Hokage tower looking up at what could be as he thought the first time he came to a person for help other then training…

He stood there for ten minutes trying to decide to go in or leave until he finally started walking a way until he heard a familiar voice call out his name

"Naruto-kun Hello what are you doing out so late"?

… Hello Tsunade Sama…

Tsunade instantly knew something was wrong noticing the familiar suffix "ba chan" was not attached

But knowing Naruto he wouldn't complain about it so she didn't press the mater

"So Naruto what brings you out here so late?"

"…I was out with friends till… something happened and I was thinking about it so I took a walk"

Giving a grim face she asked "Would you like to come to the office in Naruto nisan?"

"… how about a walk? I wouldn't mind company but I would rather be out side we can head to the monument" pointing towards the statue of the Hokage's"

"Ok let's go"

So for the first few minutes they talked about life and how it was over there two year separation and telling funny stories "most at Naruto and Jiraiya's expense" (it took a lot for Naruto to convince his baa Chan that he was not turning into the super pervert in any way)

"So Naruto… I can see you're troubled and… I was hoping you could talk about it. I am the Hokage so I need to look out for my villagers" she stated smiling quoting the 3rd

Naruto gave a sad grimace and then looked back towards the city bellow him and decided to answer with another question

"First what were you doing out so late?"

"Just out for a drink"

(She had actually been out setting up preparations for the festival of the 16th anniversary of the Kyubi's demise's didn't want to stir more bad memories)

"Ah what else do you expect of the legendary sucker"

To which Naruto just giggled looking at the city thinking of his friends

"… Ah well today I was hanging out with my friends after the longest time and we were just having fun with a sparing match between me Neji and lee.

"I take it they won?"

"DON'T DOUBT THE NEXT HOKAGE OF COURSE I WON!"

(Tsunade had a small laugh and continued to listen)

"Ah well so then we all went to a sushi place for some dinner and had fun…" (At this point Naruto was saddened again)

"Well what happened after that Naruto?"

"Nothing I just went for a walk after"

Giving an anime sweat drop she asked sarcastically "you expect me to believe that?"

She scooted over to Naruto and rapper her arm around him "Naruto understand… I think of you as my younger brother you can tell me how you feel I won't show any pity I just worry for you…"

Ha-ha you know me ba Chan … Ah well um… (scratching his head to remember the details) at one point before everyone left I to take off my shirt to take off my weights but it turned out that my seal was showing even though I wasn't using chakra

The guys saw my confusion so knew it wasn't a normal tattoo so it got a little weird…

And then it started causing trouble…

Tsunade was stunned she had always worried for the future when Naruto had to explain his red chakra and powers to his friends but she was hopping it would come later when he had people to help him explain like one of there sensei's…

But there more to worry about then just his friends feelings

How was the seal even visible it's undetectable unless Naruto is molding chakra…? What does this mean…? I need to ask Jiraiya…

With a lil worry she stopped Naruto from continuing and asked him "Naruto before you go one… how was he able to see your seal were you molding chakra at the time?"

He closed his eyes to think

"No I it was just visible like a normal tattoo I was hoping you knew what it meant it just showed up today…

Tsunade was now extremely nervous with thoughts slipping into her mind as

What if the Kyubi is getting loose… maybe naruto's coils system was failing… or maybe its naruto's fusion with the nine tails to many if's…

"Naruto before you continue on I would like to see the seal ok?"

He gave his usual "huh?" and confused stare as his only reply

"Just take off your shirt I want to see your seal"

"Ok"

He took off his shirt and threw it to the side and then continued with his vest which he ended up throwing to the ground causing a noticeable thud and crack on the ground stretching all the say down the monument Tsunade's face which caused Tsunade to respond with a harsh whack to his head. Which after she stood up and looked at him.

And a few things came to her mind

Naruto's body sure had changed from the 2 and a half years ago His height added to a large sum of an effect but the muscles were the most noticeable giving the illusion of a pretty darn close to a flawless body

After thinking up the A reason she was disgusted in herself for it being the first thing she noticed hoping to Kami she did not become anything like Jiraiya

Jiraiya was obviously going overboard with the weights she would have to talk about that

But the 4th and most important thing was the seal… completely different she could feel first off a large amount of the Kyubi's chakra just pouring out wasting tons of chakra, and also the seals extreme change in appearance

It now had a braided pattern that circled around the center in a circle followed be spinning lines (similar to a drill bit) shooting out in a pattern similar to a snow flake and then the rest surrounding the new piece of the seal was the old seal just expanded around the new one. But the most confusing part was the yin-yang sign in the middle of the whole thing that worried her seeing how it seemed the white and black were mixing…

"…Naruto when did you say this seal started to stay on you permanently?"

"Yesterday I had my shirt off to learn wind manipulation and it wasn't there so it had to be today"

"Which reminds me I finally mastered the wind manipulation"

"Oh that's pretty interesting wind is pretty rar-… wait…HOW CAN YOU KNW WIND MANIPULATION ANY ELEMENT TAKES YEARS KAKASHI JUST STARTED TEACHING YOU YESTERDAY!?! IT TAKES YEARS!"

With a new training exercise using 2 thousand shadow clones so I gain a collective of there experience.

What is going to happen to Naruto with the rate at which his new training seems to move at he will be stronger then Arashi at age 20

All she could do was think it over for a few minutes till coming back to the problem at hand.

"Ok Neji says anything else about your body after using the Byakugan?"

Naruto thought for a few seconds before realizing the scariest part of what Neji had said

"Neji… Neji said after taking a better look he could see the seal over my entire body…"

If Tsunade was worried she didn't show it.

All she thought was how unfair naruto's life continued to grow

"Naruto first off I want you to lay down I want to see the rest of the seal so I will put you in a false sleep ok?"

"Hai…"He then nodded his head and laid down:

She made the appropriate hand signs then placed it on Naruto causing him to go into a deep sleep

She was about to try a Jutsu to reveal the rest of the seal until it revealed itself on its own spreading like a snake it wrapped around his entire body making a decorative x across his chest with wings shape adorned on his shoulder blades.

The original seal became more complex and would slowly spin under the skin but slow enough you wouldn't notice without paying attention…

But the most disturbing part was the face and back

The neck had what looked like a dog collar directly beneath the jaw with the four season kanji decorating it like tags

His temples were decorated with the right being yin and the left yang

The center had the outline for the circle of yin and yang

His whiskers turned longer and started to spread down the sides of his face and neck to his arms

And many other kanji were spread around the entire body

But the back Had 3 tails of the seal in ink and 4th tail looked as if it was slowly growing

Looking at the seals she had no idea what they meant and had to take down notes to decode later

This is terrible he looks… so frightening I can't imagine what would happen if these seals became permanently showing as well…

As well as the 3 whole tails… the 4th is growing and that is the one where he loses consciousness… could his body be adapting to his demon self… I'll have to take him to the hospital just incase.

So she picked up the cursed teen and took her to the private ward for security not allowing any one other then she permits to see him

And with that she walked back to her own house to read over her books to attempt to understand the seals.

The sun was coming up and she knew she hand not found anything remotely close to naruto's seals designs and decided to get clean and ready for the long road ahead for the day.

When the group from the restaurant came storming in her office.
