"Come on! Hurry it up! Sasuke won't be coming back to Konoha on his own you know!" Naruto yelled at his temporary team of a chuunin and four genins including himself. He screamed this with a huge fox-grin on his face, which looked extremely forced. His team, however, were much too annoyed with him to notice something like that.

"Shut it already Naruto! I don't know why Hokage-sama even recommended you for this mission!" Kiba roared at Naruto, already tired from the constant running.

"So troublesome..." Shikamaru sighed as he watched his two charges banter back and forth. This is a completely troublesome mission. I can't even watch the clouds through the treetops. "Naruto, just be quiet for now, all right? We barely even got any sleep last night with your snoring keeping us up."

"I do not snore!" Naruto yelled at Shikamaru.

"You do so!" Bellowed Kiba at the blond ninja.

"Do not!"

"Do so!"

"Do not!"

"Do so!"

"Do no-"

"Stop it! Both of you! If you don't shut the hell up I swear I will send you both back to Konoha with your tails between your legs!" Shikamaru yelled. This immediately made the two boys go quiet. They knew that if they managed to even piss off the world's laziest shinobi that they had gone too far.

"Fine then. I'll just have an enlightening conversation with myself. After all, I am much smarter than you guys!" Naruto yelled back, while inside he was chastising himself, even he knew how annoying he was. Maybe this is the reason even his own team hates him?

"Go ahead Naruto, just be quiet."

Naruto fell silent. He knew what his decision was, and that if he talked to Kyuubi he would try to change his mind, but he really needed someone to talk to.

Kyuubi? Hey Kyuubi you there?

"Of course I am kit! Where else would I be? I can't get out of this goddamned cage!" The demon fox bellowed out in Naruto's mind."

Oh yeah, sorry about that. I forgot that your very sensitive about your, freedomlessness.

"That isn't even a word you moron!"

I know, but it's so hard to get a reaction out of you otherwise.

"Never mind kit. I need to have a word with you."

I am not changing my mind Kyuubi.

"But think of what you're doing!"

I have, and I believe that this is the right course of action.

"But you're going to kill yourself!"

No im not.

"Really?"

Im going to force Sasuke to do it for me.

"...how about I teach you some new jutsus?"

Jutsus won't help me where I'm going furball. And your starting to sound desperate. Better be careful or you might lose your reputation as a bad-ass demon lord.

"Please kit?"

And now you sound like you care! What the hell is wrong with you!

"..."

Kyuubi?

"...Naruto."

Y-yes, Kyuubi?

"You will regret your decision."

What?

It was at that time Kyuubi found it appropriate to send a slight shock of chakra to Naruto's legs, causing them to stop in midair. Which caused Naruto to hit a birch tree at top speed without chakra.

...I really hope that's all Kyuubi is going to do.

Time Skip

Naruto is on one side of the valley, almost completely taken over by the viciousness of Kyuubi's demon chakra. He is covered in a red aura, and has a tail made of the aura behind him. The Kyuubified Naruto is currently in the process of creating a Rasengan, made of demon chakra, a technique which rips, tears, and shreds from the inside out. Naruto's rival is on the other side of the valley, Sasuke. He is now powered up by the effects of the cursed seal. The Uchiha has extremely pale skin, and two giant hand-like wings growing from his back as the most noticeable traits in the second level. The raven haired ninja is preparing a move called the Chidori, which was taught to him by the blonde's teacher and is now sent to kill. The chidori is an attack meant only for a quick forward thrust to either kill or disarm an opponent.

These two opponents were charging up for one final assault. Whichever won this clash would survive, the other would surely perish. When both combatants were finished creating their technique, the two jumped towards their now enemy. They met in midair, above the water while screaming their attacks.

"Rasengan!"

"Chidori!"

When the two attacks clashed, everything within a set distance seemed to have stopped. The two rivals continued to push chakra into their jutsu, hoping to overpower the other. The blonde, however had a smirk on his face. The ninja shifted his arm to point upward, and drastically lowered the power of the technique. The demon-vessel hit the Uchiha's forehead protector, scratching through the leaf symbol. Meanwhile, the Chidori was on a collision course with the blond's chest, aiming right for his heart.

Finally, it will all be over. Uzumaki Naruto will die, and be known as a ninja who gave his life for the village that hated him. That's it... just a little farther Sasuke.

"Naruto."

Ah, yes Kyuubi?

"I said you would regret your decision, and I am going to make you. Forgive me."

What are you talking abou-

Naruto was never able to finish his thought. In that moment, Kyuubi used his power to create a giant black sphere, that protected Naruto from the Chidori. Sasuke, meanwhile, bounced harmlessly off and was left sitting on the ground of the valley, gaping in amazement at the raw power displayed in that black orb. In time, white lines began to run through the sphere, dividing it and seeming to split it apart. In the end, the orb disintegrated, leaving an unconscious Sasuke at the bottom of the valley. Naruto was nowhere to be found.

"Ugh...where...am...I?

Naruto began to wake up after being unconscious for some time. He sat up, seeing most likely the last thing he wanted to see when he woke up after he was supposed to be dead.

Sand.

Lots and lots of sand.

"Kyuubi! Where the hell am I!?"
