Naruto ran down the tunnel. He turned a corner and saw another dead end. 'Damnit! Where is it!' He was tired but he still kept searching. After finding another dead end he finally stopped for while. Naruto placed both of his hands on his knees and was panting hard. 'Why can't I find you!'
With Naruto's Dark Self
'He knows'"Of course he knows who do you think he is." said Kyuubi in amusement. Naruto's Dark Self turned. Behind him is the cage of Kyuubi. Kyuubi looked down at Naruto's Dark Self and said " He was the only person capable of wielding me so don't underestimate him."
"But why are you doing this?" asked Kyuubi while looking at him curiously. "Why did you decided to help him in the end? You can finally disappear and leave your hatred behind."
"Because of what he said." answered Naruto's Dark Self "He was right. Even if my life is nothing but hatred and despair I still wanted to be selfish and hope that he can make others acknowledge us, I wanted to be part of his world too." said Naruto's Dark self softly with a smile.
"Ah-ha..." mocked Kyuubi. "Hey! I can be selfish! I am the his dark part."
With Naruto
'How am going to find him?' Naruto looked around. 'This place looked exactly the same everywhere!' Naruto looked at his palm again. The spiral is getting smaller and is slowly disappearing. 'I don't have anymore time, and I can't do this alone.'thought Naruto sadly.
With NAruto's Dark self
"Sadly I don't think he can make it in time." sighed Kyuubi. "He's too stubborn to ask for power and is subconsciously blocking me out. He isn't ready to wield me yet. He must understands the importance of trust to wield me and I know for a fact that he doesn't trust me. He's only doing this because he has to." smirked Kyuubi.
"If that is the case then there's nothing I can do I can do about it." smiled Naruto's Dark Self sadly.
But soon there's a familiar figure in front of them.
"I... finally... found you." panted Naruto. Both Kyuubi and Dark Naruto widened their eyes. In front of them is Naruto panting and sweating and looked like he's about to pass anytime out soon.
Naruto slowly walked towards the gate in front of Kyuubi. He placed his hands on the seal of the gate.
"What do you think you're doing?" asked Kyuubi. "Letting you out" answered Naruto calmly "Oh... Finally gonna let me out to destroy your homeland huh." grinned Kyuubi showing his sharp fangs. "And you know what, I think I'm gonna start by destroying Konoha. I will kill everyone in that puny village and ground Konoha into dust. HAHAHAHA" Kyuubi laughed evilly. "If you break the seal I will eat you up and use your body to kill everyone else precious to you." said Kyuubi.
Dark Naruto smirked at the side. 'So you're gonna test him huh. To see if he trust you enough to ask for help or not.'
'I'm gonna enjoy this.' grinned Kyuubi. "Kyuubi I'm gonna set you free" said Naruto while looking into Kyuubi's eyes "I need your help. Can you help stop my world from disappearing."
"Why? Why should I help you?" Kyuubi narrowed his eyes and stand on his legs. He glared down at Naruto "You were nothing but a pain in the ass and refused my help every time. What makes you think that I would help you this time. And I could have tricked you into believing me and not help you in the end." smirked Kyuubi.
Naruto stared into Kyuubi's eyes...
Flashback
'...I can't do this alone.' thought Naruto sadly.
'But i don't want to rely on Kyuubi's power.' thought Naruto angrily 'He's gonna try and take over and destroy everything. He will destroy Konoha and my friends. How can i trust ...' Naruto widened his eyes
Suddenly Naruto remember his childhood. Nobody believed him. Everybody was afraid of him. They stay away from him. They all assumed that he was the Kyuubi without getting to know him. They can't see through the mask of Kyuubi. That's why he Dark Self grew hateful of the villagers.
He wanted acknowledgement from the villagers more than anything else. He wanted someone that trust him, someone that believes in him. When Iruka says that he trusted him, he was so happy. He didn't assumed just like everyone else. He saw Naruto Uzumaki, he saw through Kyuubi.
And now he was just like the villagers. He assumed that Kyuubi was evil and stay away from him, fear him and he didn't see through the mask of a monster. He grew hateful of its existence.
Naruto realised that if he wants to accept his Darker self he must also accept Kyuubi as part of himself. They're both are part of his childhood and the ones that make him who he is now.
End Flashback
Naruto stared into Kyuubi's eyes and said "I believe in you." Then Naruto tear out the seal.
Both Kyuubi and Dark Naruto widened their eyes at the scene in front of them. The gate slowly swung open and Naruto walked calmly inside. He stood in front of Kyuubi and asked "Can you help me?"
Then, both Kyuubi and Dark Naruto burst out laughing. They laugh so hard that they have to clutch their stomach. "I can't... breath" Dark Naruto wheezed out. Naruto's face was red in embaressment. "What! What's so funny!" Naruto stomped his foot childishly.
"You think that I'm gonna help you because you believe in me." Kyuubi chuckle. "Well then" Kyuubi crouch down at Naruto's level and stare at Naruto, Naruto stare back confidently "Congratulation. That was the right answer." Kyuubi grinned.
Red bubbles of chakra started forming around Kyuubi and soon Kyuubi is covered in red chakra bubble. The big chakra bubble soon reduce in size and when it dissapears a man with blood red hair was left behind.
