"Wake up boy…" The Kyuubi called out within Naruto's head. His white teeth grinding together as a growl were building up within the cage which held him.

A small stir was all that left Naruto's lips, lying within the shallow pool of water which surrounded him. Filled with a flow of Chakra which was seeping out from the Kyuubi's cage.

"You're going to need me now more than ever… If you wish to become stronger, let's go back!" The voice echoed throughout Naruto's head, trying to make him awaken rather quickly – And, it worked as his eyes shot open, red taking the main colour of his eyes, as his teeth grew into the form of fangs instead of their natural straight shape.

The scene from before where Naruto was now holding the seal of the Kyuubi's cage was back into the frame of mind, as the puddle was slowly beginning to engulf Naruto for what he was about to do. "That's right kid, take it off." A chuckle came from the Kyuubi's voice as he watched with his eager eyes.

"Kakashi Sensei." Sakura spoke softly as she caught sight of Naruto beginning to change from the hyper active boy he made himself out to be, straight into the fox from the first stage all the way through.

Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura all came to a stop as they set Naruto down upon the ground, all trying to work out what should be done, as the talisman which was in place around his head had obviously began to stop working to its full force.

Naruto's hand quivered ever so slightly as his thumb dug at the seal of the cage. "You won't hurt Sakura or anyone else. Only the leader, and then help me get out of the way of everyone else."

The Kyuubi's chuckle wasn't one of reassurance as his head hit the front of the cage with warm air blowing down the front of Naruto, straight from the lungs of the demon. "If that's what it takes. Now take the seal off! I need to stretch! And let my power flow fully!"

Naruto shock his head from left and then towards the right as his hand would then lower away from the talisman. "You're a Demon how can I actually trust any word you speak?"The laugh once again filled the cage as the water poured out from within the cage, and started to pull Naruto within the cage. The Kyuubi's mouth was waiting to gain his body within his in this form.

"Boy… I'm part of you, if you die I die. So what would I gain by leaving you to die?"

"No…" Naruto spoke as he shock his head managing to turn himself around within the pull of the Kyuubi.

Naruto's eyes falling back closed, as though no one would ever see the correct way his eyes changed the colour. Sakura let a small gasp pass through her lips as she watched him falling back into the darkness which had engulfed him once more.

"Kakashi Sensei!" The scream travelled through the surrounding area as Sakura pointed towards Naruto. "It's working once again!"

The Kyuubi's laugh now drowned out within the back ground of Naruto's head. "Next time you need me… I won't be so willing to help you…Fight for yourself."

"Well… We have a run away don't we?" Ronin let a small smirk pass over his lips as he sat within the seat that Kakashi was within moments ago.

Ryozo let a small sigh pass through his lips, his head shaking from left and then to the right for a number of times. "I never said I would join you…" He paused, not exactly knowing how to think of what he would say next, chewing upon the bottom of his lip in thought.

"Then why come to us then?" Ronin's gaze feel into a dark glare as he looked straight through Ryozo, almost as though he was trying to read the path which his mind was taking at the moment.

"I said. I'd think about joining your group… Not actually join it just yet…" Ryozo now stood up, not bothering to wait for the breakfast with which he had ordered before either Kakashi, or Ronin had even found him within the café.

"Well, next time give us notice that you're leaving Ryozo." Both Ronin and Senichi now followed Ryozo out of the café, as the three of them walked down the lane.

Suichi was waiting for Ryozo to finally come into view, as a grin spread over his lips, waving over his head towards him, until he actually saw the view of Ronin and Senichi now coming into view as his hands sank down into his pockets.

"Urgh." Ryozo turned upon his heels once he caught a glimpse of Suichi who was standing almost as still as stone. His gaze falling upon Ronin before he nodded over his shoulders. "Why the hell is he here as well?!"

"We don't know…" Senichi answered instead of Ronin. Seeing as both Senichi and Suichi seemed to have good timing for one another, instead of working in the opposite areas to one another.

"Maybe he just missed you Ryozo." Ronin let a smirk pass through his lips as he watched the red head boy turn his back once more towards them.

"So… What if I don't actually want to go back to your camp Ronin?"

A quick crack could be heard from behind Ryozo, as a second after a cold blade was pressed to his neck, the blunt side just incase Ryozo was to keep walking instead of stopping. "I doubt you'd want to know." Senichi's voice was a cold whisper into his ear, as a small smirk was printed upon his lips.

"O… He asked that question…" Suichi let a small sigh pass through his lips, as he raised his hand to hit himself upon the head. "And, I thought he was a smart guy. Guess not." A smirk let Suichi's lips as he thought of the idea.
