Naruto: War Shift!

Chapter 2: Naruto's New Seal!

"The...Kyuubi?" Naruto slowed his pace a bit and held the part of his orange jumpsuit that covered his heart. "What about it? Yes, I know the Akatsuki want it for their own greedy reasons, but what now?"

Tsunade could barely look at Naruto now. "As you're aware there are 9 demons. Each with a different amount of tails. Kyuubi having 9 tails. That is a sign that it is the strongest of the demons. And now that its a prey, not a hunter it may wish to defend its life. Meaning it could easily overtake your body. That's why I came for you. The seal that holds it now may not be strong enough to hold in the Kyuubi if it wishes to fight. If it gets out then it'll kill you."

Naruto took a few seconds to realise what he had been told. "What can we do to prevent that from happening?" Naruto's body began to shake with fear. He felt as cold as ice in a blizzard. He thought he'd barf. He didn't want to die. Not yet. He hadn't achieved his goal of becoming hokage.

Tsunade faced the hokage tower which loomed over Konoha. It was right in the middle for easy access. It was next door to the ninja academy where kids learned the basics of ninjutsu. Naruto looked at the Academy and thought back to when he used to go to school there. He had failed the transformation and clone jutsus time and time again. He used to get picked on. Those days were long gone. He has great friends now. Tsunade spoke to Naruto, "We'll apply a new seal. A stronger one. We can't hold back. The Kyuubi's power is much greater than that of the 4th hokage. He was lucky to have caught it with its guard down. Had he not, it would have destroyed all of Konoha. We owe our lives to the 4th."

Naruto nodded. "So how are we going to apply this seal?" Naruto needed answers and he needed them now. He wished to people to defend Konoha as soon as he could. The wind picked up and blew in Naruto's blonde hair. The wind was could and made Naruto shake even more.

"It won't be easy, that much I can say." Tsunade knew that it'd worry Naruto but he needed to know the truth. "The Akatsuki have Gaara's inner-demon, Shukaku, so they're even more of a threat so we can't waste any time. We have word of them moving in on us. So hurry up. We need to get to the medical room of the hokage tower!"

Inside the hokage tower the halls were lined with pictures of the previous hokages. Naruto stopped at a picture of the 4th. "Yondaime..thank you." Naruto put his hand on the picture. "You saved Konoha. Even though the demon is sealed inside me, I'm happy. Happy that the village I love is safe. It's all because of your brave efforts. Wish I could have known you better."

After that Naruto ran to catch up with Tsunade who waited for him at the far end of the hallway. "Set inside, Naruto. This is where the seal will be placed on you. We need this big of a space because this seal is the strongest seal there is. The demon shouldn't hurt you after this, but you won't be able to use its power either."

Naruto wished he could use its power to help protect Konoha but knew that if he did it could cause more harm than good. He entered the room. It was very bright. Most would think the very sun itself was in here. In the center was a medical bed. An Anbu asked Naruto to sit on the bed and remove his jacket and shirt. Naruto did just that.

"This seal is weakening." The Anbu noticed. "The Kyuubi must be hungry for a fight of its own. We have to act fast."

Tsunade and the Anbu began performing handseals as fast as they could without messing up and began to chant several words. "Dog, rat, snake, wolf, cat, .." were the words they muttered. When the names of nine animals were muttered they're hands glowed blue. The chakra was immense.

Tsunade put her right hand on Naruto's stomach. "Anbu, lend me your chakra." she begged. Making this seal would require more chakra than even she had. The Anbu bowed and did just that. Soon the chakra surrounding Tsunade's right hand made it impossible to even see the hand! "Seal of 9 demons!"

The power from the seal shattered the lightbulbs that hung above them. Tsunade gasped for air and fell to the floor. "Naruto..take..care..of Konoha." She then closed her eyes.

"TSUNADE-SAMA!!!!!!!!!!" An Anbu cried out her name. Everyone in the room was silent then. They all feared the worst for her.
