Chapter 2. Fox Battle.

He took a deep breath, and stared into the widening eyes of Naruto. "Uzumaki Naruto… Show me what I have seek! Show me my other half! Show me the Kyuubi!"

"It will be my pleasure!" the Konoha ninja answer in a low voice. Closing his eyes, he focused his Chakra. Blue Chakra exploded beneath his feet, roaring like a flame that soon engulfed his body, and soul. In Naruto's mind time slowed, it slowed till it was unmoving to the law of time. His body evaporated into millions if not billions of particles, painful but for a price, the power of the Kyuubi. Naruto opened his eyes after the burning sensation was over. He was standing in a corridor lit by dim neon lights. "The layer of the Kyuubi, still dull and lifeless as always" he said, loudly as he walked the winding corridors.Finally after countless turns a metal gate with a talisman that says "Seal", stood in front of him, inside it, the Nine Tail Fox (Kyuubi) resides.

"Kyuubi, you knew about this didn't you?" asked Naruto, leaning against the gray wall.

"Yes," growled the Nine Tail Fox. His eyes burning a deep red, till it shone like the sun on the rise, his fangs dripping liters of saliva.

"I will ask you, who he is later. Now I need more Chakra to defeat him." with that Naruto returned into his original body. His Chakra burning red, and like Zabimaru he had Chakra shaped like a fox.

"Zabimaru, I don't know who you are. But I will defeat you." Naruto grunted.

They charged. Both their mind set on one task, death. Naruto leaped into the air, doing a set of hand sign. "Kage Bushin no Jutsu.(Shadow Clone Skill)" Five shadow replicate leaped out from the smoke, Flash Jumping (Shunpo) into the trees, hiding their intentions. Disappearing from Zabimaru's sight.

Zabimaru's sniffed the air, looking for Naruto scent. Pouncing off the ground to the surround trees, he followed the tracks left behind by the blonde hair ninja. Twisting himself to narrowly avoid a surprise kick from his left; he bent his knees driving the blow into the replicate's face. "Too Slow" The clone erupted into a cloud of smoke.

"Look around" answered another blonde hair ninja. Drawing back his arm, Naruto thrust his fist into Zabimaru's chest. "Now."

Suspended in mid-air, Zabimaru spotted the four clones charging and sliding onto the ground directly beneath him. In unison, they shouted "U! Zu! Ma! Ki" kicking upwards at his body, lifting him higher with every kick for each syllable, The fifth Naruto also the real blonde hair ninja flipped from the tree, slamming his heel down on the back of Zabimaru's neck. "NARUTO RENDAN!"

Blood spattered out from Zabimaru's mouth when he collided into the ground. His body laid there motionless, his chest heaving as he gathered his breath. "Ha-Ha," chuckled Zabimaru. Pain surged through his bruised body, he didn't care, he loved every moment of the fight. "Fox, give me more Chakra…" he growled to himself. Then like a flame near gas, his small Chakra torch transformed into a burning sun, red Chakra flickering up in the sky, could be seen miles away.

Naruto's eyes took seconds to recovered from the red beckon blazing meters away from him. "Kyuubi, what is going on?" the though flicked into his mind. "The Chakra feels like yours, but how can this be?"

"It is my Chakra alright, can you see it?"

Looking sky wards, Naruto spotted the red Chakra shaped like a fox "Is that supposed to be you?"

"Yes" "Never mind, double on the Chakra… I'm going to need it to defeat him!" controlling the urge to scream as more Chakra burnt through his veins pumping it with more energy then he had ever handled before. His Chakra rose to the sky, wavering by some unseen force. "Naruto, you just made me love more of this fight!" growled Zabimaru, his fangs showing.

Naruto held a grin, despised the pain of wielding that many Chakra. "You would be loving it to long!"

"Yeah… like I said," they said in unison

"You're going to die"

Naruto leaped off the tree branch, ripping it instantly. His hands held back, as he waited for the right moment to punch. Zabimaru charged towards the flying Naruto, his hand clenching into a fist. "Die!" they said in unison. Release their energy their fist collided together. The force and sound wave ruptured the ground they stood on, forming a crater. Naruto retained his grin. "Is this all?"

"No" Zabimaru replied in a growl. His fist a blurred as he extended it towards Naruto with lightning speed, the blow connected with Naruto's left cheek sending him spiraling into the ground as he skittered to a halt. "That stopped your grin"

Gathering himself Naruto climb onto his feet. Stretching his arms and leg, he charged towards Zabimaru, his eyes seeking blood. Leaping at the final moment Naruto delivered a Konoha whirlwind. Zabimaru bent his knees dodging the blonde hair ninja's kick, grapping hold of Naruto's leg. He countered with a punch but was parried by Naruto. Trapped in a dead lock, the two so alike stared at each other. Their arms and legs intertwined. "Trapped…" they both wondered.

Then a though came into their minds. Rearing their head back, they rammed their heads into the other. Their headbands, producing tons of sparkles as the blow collided before dieing down. Releasing the grip Naruto had on the missing-nin, the blonde hair ninja leaped back to a safe distance. His bruise healed with the overwhelming Chakra of the Kyuubi. He held a smirk. "IDIOTS think alike don't they?"

"Funny, I was about to say that!"

"Last Round?" asked Naruto, his chest heaving as he gulped oxygen through his mouth. His wounds may heal fast, but the amount of Chakra circulating his veins is much more than he can handle. "I need to finish this… now… or… I might die…"

He gathered his Chakra. Gathered his Chakra? No, he released every strand of Chakra into the ball. The mammoth fox shaped Chakra, shrink till it was an aura surrounding the blonde hair ninja. He focused the released Chakra, on his right hand as a spiraling red ball appeared growing in size and form. "Zabimaru… it's been nice knowing you!" Naruto shouted over the roar of the ball as he waved his left hand. The Rasengan had transformed its shape as more Chakra filtered in. The once prefect ball transformed into a fox. "You wouldn't mind the honor of being the first human test subject, would you?"

"What's that?" replied the missing-nin, stammering as he stared into the evolving ball, now resembles a red fur fox head.

"I knew you wouldn't object to my decision!" Gesturing at the adult size fox. "This is my very own technique! Beautiful isn't it?" Dipping his head.

Sighing Naruto looked up, "This is the Kyuubi's form, without me to control the Chakra it would have grown much bigger. It took me years to fully master this technique. Suffering quite a number of bruises as I slowly got the hang of things."

"What's it called?"

Naruto's smile turned into a smirk. "For you, Death… For everyone each, Kyuubi Rasengan"

----- Konoha Village -----

A knock came on the doors of the Hokage office. "Come in" replied the Hokage, glancing at the elder intruded from her stacks of paper work. Leaning back against her leather chair. "To what honors do I get to have an elder here?"

"Tsunade, did you receive report of the Northern Border?" inquired the elder, his bread wavering in the sudden breeze.

"Yes" "Then have you send the ANBU force to the Northern Border, to eliminate the threat?" asked the elder, stepping closer to the desk. Gripping the Oakwood desk.

"What for? I have a Jounin there already to handle the situation." Replied Tsunade, turning her chair to face the village of Konoha.

"And who is that Jounin?" Hardening the grip he had on the desk, with his fragile hands.

"Uzumaki Naruto" Tsunade said dryly before facing the intruder once more.

It was clearly visible that the elder grip had tightened. His veins popped with rage. "The PROBLEM is UZUMAKI NARUTO is the THREAT, we have to ELIMINATE him before he ATTACKS KONOHA!" roared the Elder.

"Uzumaki Naruto was send to the Northern border for a mission. So I can't see why he is to be eliminated or why he is the threat that you seem to be afraid of, when he is clearly one of us, Konoha Ninja… and if you would mind your tone."

"One of us? For heaven sake his the bloody Kyuubi! Have you even read the report? If you WOULDN'T mind, I will tell you it! Scout Ninja from the Northern border spotted some weird activity in the region called "Road to Redemption" which leads to Konoha from the North. They spotted red Chakra blazing up towards the sky! And everyone in Konoha knows whose Chakra is red! It the KYUUBI!"

"I still don't see why his a threat!" Tsuande stood up. Her face grim and weary.

"That's because you don't want to see IT! I'm sorry, Tsunade. The Elders have gathered before this meeting. By unanimous vote, we have agreed and viewed Uzumaki Naruto case with care, we the Elders have decided that ANBU is to be send into the Northern Border to "handle" the situation. Dead!"

"You don't have the power to do that!" demanded Tsunade. Clutching her chair as she steadied herself from falling.

"By the Scrolls from the Founders of Konoha, it says "Should there be an act of betrayal the current Hokage is unable to act decisively for unknown reason, the Elders are to be in command of the situation. Again Tsunade, I'm sorry. But your love for that Kyuubi has made you unable to fully grasp the situation. Again, once the ANBU have found Uzumaki Naruto they have every right in them to eliminate him." He ended the conversation. Stalking off, his robe flowing behind him.

Tsunade could only fall into her chair. She was at a lost for words. The word "Eliminate" droned in her ears. Tears started to tickle down her checks as she remembered Naruto entering the room again after the crowd had dispersed from her office. His last words to her, "I will become the next Hokage when I come back… from this mission".

A/N: ZdreamerZ here,

I really do wish that I do get some review… without reviews it makes me kind of sad… Sobz. All the hard work, please review. You must be wondering why, I stopped the fighting chapter here, when clearly there are the other half. Sorry to say this folks, I have an author block. Even after planning what happens, hopefully with your review, we can push that block away before my exams starts. Thanks.
