Chapter 2: conversations and revelations

Previously

"Please don't hurt me!" Came Naruto's plea.

"I am not going to hurt you young kit! I couldn't even if I tried." Soothed the now noticeably feminine voice.

After sitting there for a few minutes watching the lady to make sure there was no threat he asked "Who are you and what am I doing here?"

"Aw yes let's get strait to the point. We have much to talk about before you wake up!" replied the female.

Now

When Naruto finally looked at the women in front of him he couldn't take his eyes away from her not because he was scared, but because he couldn't believe what he was seeing in front of him. There stood an very attractive woman with 9 puffy fire red with black tip tails that were swaying behind her rhythmically. As far as the women's clothes went she had a chocker with the a paper that said seal on it and some tight black Anbu style pants with glowing red trim and a blue shirt under a maroon red cape that came down to her knees. The women also had 6 deep black whisker like marks just like he did, she also had the most captivating red slitted eyes that were filled with such warmth for the blond that he only saw on jiji. Once he saw the warmth in the eyes he started to relax a little mind you not completely especially after what he had just gone through but those eyes just promised safety and caring.

"Well now that you have had time to look me over. I have to tell you that I am deeply sorry for all the prejudice and harm that has come to you because of me…."

"Wait I still don't know where I am and who you are, and I don't know how YOU fit in with what has been happening to me!" exclaimed Naruto.

"Ok. First off we are in your mind, also known as your mindscape and second my name is Kyuubi no kitsune and I have been sealed in your body for the past 7 years" at this point Kyuubi looks down with a grim look on her face with shame evident in her eyes and exclaims "what I have to do with what has been happening to you is because I am sealed inside you and the villagers hate you because they see you as me. The idiots think you are me!!"

At the end of this unexpected explanation Naruto stammers "bu.. but… no that cant be the Yondaime ki…killed you!!!"After that was said Naruto starts thinking about his life and the many times that the villagers called him a "demon" or a "monster". Rely when he truly factored in the Kyubi being sealed inside him it made all the hate that was directed towards him make much more sense than any other explanation that he could come up with. But what was bothering him even more is one, why was this supposed demon not trying to devour him or kill him in some way and second, why was this "demon" showing more sympathetic emotion towards him than any person ever has except jiji!?

After that statement the "Lord of all demons" watches as many emotions flash through his eyes there was disbelief, sadness, exasperated understanding, and finally wonder.

With a heavy sigh Kyubi remarked "I can't blame you for hating me like all the other villagers it only makes sense since I ruined your life!"

Those words made Naruto blink several times because of the very evident sadness in the voice. That just didn't make any sense. At that moment Naruto decided that he wouldn't come to any snap judgments based on what others said but by firsthand experiences. That also included this situation.

After a minute of silence Naruto finally asks "What am I doing in my….um… mindscape? I think you called it!?"

"Yes this is your mindscape but, Why you are here...well not even I can answer that...this is YOUR body after all. But the why should not matter, because it is very fortunate for you to have done so, this early."

"Why am I fortunate?" Asked a confused blond.

"its fortunate because I was not expecting you to show up for another half decade or so. Which means we can start your 'training' more than 5 years sooner than I had planned."

Real world

As the Inu masked Anbu is jumping from roof to roof towards the hospital he / she can't help but to worry about the beaten, broken and bleeding young boy hanging loosely in their arms.

"Damn it! How could anyone not see this is not the Kyuubi this is just a young boy! We would be all dead if this was the Kyuubi. Damn them, Naruto if they knew who your dad was they wouldn't treat you this way. I'm sorry I wasn't there to help keep you safe. No I will help now!!!"

Inside mindscape

"Wait what do you mean training?"

"I mean I will be helping you to train to become a shinobi so that you can protect yourself and never have anything happen like this again. You did decide you wanted to become a shinobi? Right?" Asked the millennia old demones.

"Yes, I have decided to become Hokage so that people will treat me with respect and quit beating me!" yelled the now over enthusiastic blond.

"I am going to have to get him to stop him from being so damn lowed all the time if he wants to be a ninja! I think that yell even hurt my ears beyond repair!" thought Kyuubi with a sigh. "Ok first off you are going to have to talk to your Hokage and ask to go on a training trip with someone the Hokage can trust and that can teach you the basics about being a shinobi. Secondly you should probably tell him you know about me but not all that we are going to talk about in hear. Thirdly we are going to have to get you to eat something other than ramen ALL the time it is ok to eat but it will stunt you growth in a couple of years. Lastly we are going to have to get you some darker cloths than bright orange! Maybe a good cloak to conceal you hand and body movements."

"Wait what do you have against the color orange?"

"Come now we both know that you don't particularly like orange that's just all anyone would sell you! Also orange isn't a good color for a ninja because it just makes them that much more visible to the enemy when you are trying to hide, sneak attack or just plain blend in with your surroundings. I got nothing against orange but it just won't work for a shinobi!"

"Well if it won't work than how am I supposed to get some clothes? I get thrown out of every place that I try to go in!"

"Just talk to the Hokage and ask him if he can help you get some new clothes. Just tell him what has been going on and he will help you I am sure."

"But I don't want to get anyone in trouble and…."

"Don't worry about them, if they treat you like they have been they deserve whatever wrath the Hokage will serve. Maybe they will get it through there thick sculls and finally let you buy some decent clothes without the Hokage being there!"

"Well that looks like that's all the time we have to talk for now. You are about to wake up in the hospital so be good and remember what we have talked about!"

At those words Naruto fades away to the real world…….
