"Oargh" an awaking Naruto groaned.

Pain

"Oh, good you're awake. How are you?" an unknown voice asked.

"Were am I?" the young boy asked back.

"I'm sure you have questions but please answer my first." The unknown voice pleaded. No, suddenly the voice seemed familiar. But Naruto could't put his finger on it. "How are you?" the voice repeat.

"Like a thousand knives stabbed me all over my body."

"You watch to much TV." The man stated chuckling.

Finally Naruto opened his eyes. What he saw was a large and dark area with manny pipes, puddles and dripping water.

"To answer your question. We're in your mind."

Naruto spined around an saw a man with a really large blond ponytail.
"In my mind?!"

"That's what I said."

'Wow, that's like a déjà vu. I've the feeling I was already in this situation.' Naruto thought.
"We've already met in … my mind. Right?"

"I'm amazed you remember. You weren't two weeks old."

"Who are you?"

"My name is Inoichi Yamanaka. I guess you know my daughter Ino. I was in your mind to make sure, that you're the host of he Kyuubi."

"Why are we here?"

"Whats the last thing you remember." Asked Inoichi, ignoring Naruto's question.

"The last thing I remember was in my mind. I was here. And there were a large cage with a piece of paper. Inside the cage was a giant fox and a glowing stream of something shots from the fox to me."

"I see…"

"The fox was the Kyuubi, right?"

"Yes."

Naruto thought a littlebit about the whole situation but doesn't come to any conclusions.

"You havn't answere my question. Why are we here?"

"I'm here to prove Yamato-san's theory and to ensure that the nine-tailed demon fox is gone."

"And…"

"He is gone."

"How did you know. I could be the Kyuubi and ready to slaughter all the people in tis village."

"You know, you're not as nearly as dense as you pretend to be. But if I drag you in your mind. You can't lie to me. In your mind anything what's remaining is the truth. But think now it's time to return in the real world."

"OK"

Naruto anticipated to see the common ceiling of the hospital and was surprised to be in the Hokages office. He noticed six people in the room. The woman he knows as Anko and the Yamato ANBU-guy, Inoichi and Iruka and the Sandaime-Hokage with a man with long white hair and a ridiculous facepaint.

"Is it really gone Inoichi?" questioned oldman-Hokage

"I've already told you it didn't exist any longer." The man with the facepaint said angrily.

"Don't be so fussy Jiraiya. Better save then sorry. Inoichi?"

"Jiraiya-sama was right Hokage-sama. The Kyuubi is gone."

"You… You…mean I'm free. The torture is over?" shouted Naruto. He overheard the whole conversation but was ignored.

"The torture? What the Kyuubi have done?" Iruka asked sadly.

"The Kyuubi? Nothing. I meant the glares, the punches, the threats, the indignities."

Every singly word and syllable brought a tear in Naruto's eyes. But he refused to cry. He refused to be weak.

In this moment almos all adults in the room looked away from Naruto. Only the Hokage Sarutobi tried to look Naruto in his eyes. His face full of sadness.

"I truly doesn't know. But I hope so. I truly hope so."

Everybody refused to say anything after that statement, but after a few sobs naruto remembered the situation. No Kyuubi. That means freedom. So he regained a sadly happiness and a small smile appeared on his face.

"What's about my teammates. Are they allright."

This time it was Anko who speaks. But she seemed slightly (lye ) disappointed.

"Yes, your so-called teammates are OK. They reached the tower without any problems but they wasn't nearly so worried about your health as you about theirs."

"And whats about the exam. They arrived the tower without me. I didn't even make that."

"Naruto stay cool. You and your friends fight an S-class Missing-Nin. That shows more then enough skill to pass such an exam. But you have a point. What do we do now about the chunin-exam." said Anko.

"I mean, we cant let him participate if we doesn't know about what he is capable of now." stated the man named iraiya.

"What do you mean with new abilities?" Naruto asked curiusly.

"Naruto when the sea was activated it doesn't only kills the Kyuubi it changes a full load of Kyuubi's chakra to your own and we aren't sure what that means for you."

"Hokage-sama, if you approve…?"

"Please speak Iruka."

"You know, a few lords of the elemental lands questioned to put the chunin-exam a few weeks earlier because they weren't capable to watch the final round. They have some important business. Maybe we could put the prelims of. Two weeks maybe. And all participants are allowed to train before they fight. Our excuse is to make it possible to watch the joung genin for the lords and we could test Narutos abilities."

"That's a very good idea Iruka. Jiraiya, I think it's the best you test the boy. Maybe you could train a littlebit too." The Hokage said the last part with very low voice and kept on "I know a Hokake shouldn't play favorites but I hope you use these two weeks well and make a hell of a shinobi out of that boy."

"You know Sarutobi-sensei, I love challenges." Jiraiya grinned.

"One last question Hokage-sama..."

"Yes Iruka?"

"What shall we do about the whiskers-marks?"

"Are you insane Iruka? The brat don't have anything like whiskers-marks." The Jiraiya-guy almost shouted.

"Exactly."

The remaining four people in the office were stunned. How could it be possibly that no one realized his missing Jinchuriki-marks. They were as gone as the Kyuubi.

"Yes, this could be a problem." stated the Hokage almost superfluously.

Sorry. In my precipitancy I loaded the incompletesave of my chapter. I'm sorry my youthful readers. If I'm not capable of writing my next chapter tomorrow I'll write ten till Monday.
