4 years after the Kyuubi attack:

A young blonde haired boy with 3 whiskers on each cheek is seen running as fast as his little legs can take him with a look of fear on his face. It is currently October the 10th and this is the day he remembers as his birthday. " From what I remember jiji says that people get presents and cake on their birthday, how come I only get hurt by all the meanie villagers (he is young so he still talks like a baby often) and come to think of it, why were they chasing him in the first place yelling naughty words and saying 'demon' and 'monster'?"

While he is running he accidentally trips and tumbles on the ground his little body getting scrapes and cuts. But what he dreads is a mob of villagers with sharp objects surrounding him yelling profanities he didn't even understand. He knew he couldn't be saved this time, Jiji was out talking to all the other Kages that he remembered from the book he read they were all like his Jiji but for different villages, and no one was here to help him. The villagers proceeded to hurt what they thought was a demon, but was actually an innocent child and after 30 minutes of this torture the child was bruised, burned, slightly poisoned and unconscious and left for dead. The worst beating he had received to date. But when all the villagers dispersed not wanting to suffer the penalty a faint red glowing aura enshrouded the young boy and his injuries slowly started to heal and in his unconscious state he was dragged into his own mindscape.

The young whiskered boy woke up in a dark, flooded underground hallway with pipes on the side. "Where am I" he questioned as he slowly followed the pipes, trudging through the murky water, after twists and turns he saw a faint light at the end of one of the tunnels and as he started to get closer the hairs on the back of his neck started to rise. He heard a deep rumbling as he approached and when he broke through the end of the hallway and into a huge room he encountered the biggest gate he had ever seen, bigger than even the village gates. It was huge at least 15 stories tall and he had to crane is small neck 90 degrees just to see the top of it. In the middle of the huge gate was a parchment that simply said 'FUIN'. "Woooooooow" he said with complete awe at what he was seeing, until a deep and dark chuckle came from within the depths of the gate. Curious as little Naruto was, he stepped towards it until he was arms length away from the darkness of the gate when two huge red slitted eyes opened and a massive fox head came into view, the one of his sharp canines being bigger than Naruto himself. "Hello boy, nice to finally be of acquaintance, I was wondering when you were going to discover me" after which the fox smiled menacingly and flashed all of his huge teeth and flashed his eyes, trying to intimidate and scare the boy like all who stood in his path "Besides that Yondaime" he thought quickly before realising the boy was staring intently at the fox, making him feel very uncomfortable, and when a great demon fox felt uncomfortable it did the only that came to mind, it roared as loud and as powerful as possible, literally lifting the young boy of his feet and on to his bottom, not once did he blink or twitch a muscle with his mouth in a permanent 'O' until he finally spoke "A GIANT FOX! FOXY-CHAN CAN YOU BE MY FRIEND!" while staring wide eyed at the Kyuubi no Kitsune with intrigue and fascination.

This invoked the biggest sweat drop the Demon Fox ever had in its 9000 year span of existence. "Damn Namikaze's and not being afraid of me!" After the awkward silence and the little Naruto realising what he said he became instantly embarrassed and shy and started mumbling and staring at his feet. The fox was literally speechless at how this young boy was literally acting like a fumbling boy around the strongest bijuu in existence. "Do you know who I am boy?" to this the boy just mumbled quietly enough for the foxes keen sense to hear "uuuummmmm...no mister foxy-chan" after this was said the foxes biggest sweat drop in existence had quickly been beaten just then as this boy was his host and had no idea who he was which was a huge insult to his pride. "Boy I am the Kyuubi no Kitsune, greatest and strongest of the 9 bijuu, capable of destroying mountains and creating tsunamis with the flick of my-"to which he was interrupted by a small mumble by the shy boy "Jiji says not to talk to strangers Mister foxy-chan." This made the fox feel more emotion he has felt in a long time as he felt his pride being hit for not being able to finish his introduction whilst being referred to as 'mister foxy-chan' and being able to beat his last two records of biggest sweat-drop in 9000 years.

"You imbecile! I will not tolerate being interrupted by a runt that can't even read properly let alone stand up to my power-"being interrupted again by the blonde "I can read words that a six letters" he counted with his cute pudgy fingers "and Jiji says I'm getting better "when he yet again realised he spoke his mind and became red and started staring at his feet. The Kyuubi no Kitsune for the fourth time in the span of literally 2 minutes beat his sweat drop record. Boy was this a...Interesting day.

"Boy I'm going to have to kick you out of your mindscape because you do not yet have the brain capacity to talk to me yet. Until next time mortal." Before he could shove this fumbling fool of a jinchuuriki out of the mindscape he said in a very quiet and shy voice while giving PUPPY DOG EYE NO JUTSU "Mister foxy-chan can you be my friend? Everyone else doesn't like me but we just met and you are big and furry and..." he started to get very shy again stepping on each foot nervously and then suddenly the Kyuubi started to think back to four years ago " Kushina threatened to come back from death to inflict pain on me if I was not nice to her son and by kami himself I do not want to cross her, last time I did that while I was jailed in her I witnessed the worst torture, bunnies and ponies all prancing around a paradise playing tag, sweet kami was that torture". " Uhhhhhhhh...Ok, but on one condition, you start to utilize that genius Namikaze brain of yours and start reading more books, and ask that Hokage of yours to allow you to read books on fuinjutsu, that cursed Yondaime was good at seals so you should be a natural"

"Yes I can utilize this thing called 'friendship' and turn this host into something truthy worthy so we can utterly destroy that wretched Uchiha and his disgusting eyes that I will pluck out and eat off of a-" . "Umm, Mister foxy-chan?" pulled out of his musings the fox "what's a Namikaze brain and isn't Yondaime the fourth hokage? Because he is my hero and I'm going to become the greatest Hokage ever!" after saying this again he became so embarrassed he had his chin touching his chest and nervously stepping on each foot at a much faster pace kind of like a jumping jack. " Shit he isn't supposed to know about his parents until a later date" " No don't worry about that Namikaze stuff just read and get scrolls on fuinjutsu and get the hell out of this mindscape! And before you interrupt me again yes you can be my friend as long as you follow what I said and start to get smarter and stronger, I need you to become stronger for us to destroy that Uchi-um get to become really strong friends! Yes that's right!"

"Ok mister foxy-chan! How will I talk to you? "Well boy now that we have made first contact our bond will grow as a jinchuuriki to a bijuu and-...we will become better friends over time and because we are such goooooooood friends you will get better control over the enhanced senses and the like that you get from me" " Well that's cool mister-" " You will begin by calling me" "-foxy-Chan" the silence that ensued after Naruto had confirmed he will call the greatest bijuu foxy-Chan he was rather roughly kicked out of his mindscape.

Our spiky haired blonde woke up from his dream, or was it a dream? He didn't know but all he knew was he made his first friend and it was a giant fox with nine swishy tails no less! Now all he had to do was start to impress his new friend by reading and learning about fuinjutsu...whatever that is. Utterly forgetting about the horrible beating he received he got up and started making his way back to the Hokage tower to wait for his Jiji to get back from his short trip. As he made his way there he had constantly looks of fear, anger, hate and disgust. How he knew it he didn't know but it kind of felt like he could sense their evil feelings and also could smell their disgust toward him. These sinister feelings that were being directed to this young four year old made him realise that he was brutally attacked not a few hours ago, and he had done nothing to deserve it. This sinister feelings and open beatings he had received started make him close up, he didn't want to smile for these people, he was going to be strong and he was going to prove that he wasn't this 'demon' but that he was Naruto Uzumaki!

Once he finally reached the Hokage tower the receptionist seemed to have ill intent toward him also as his 'meanie sense' as he now liked to call it was tingling. She reluctantly opened up the door to the Hokage office for him for fear of her boss and the leader of the villages' wrath. Once inside Naruto went to his favourite couch and took a blanket, wrapped it around himself and waited for his Jiji to finally return from his meeting with the other leader people and was going to demand some Ichiraku ramen! The best food in the world!
