Naruto awoke in an all to familiar place. He stood up and walked into the chamber of the Kyuubi. "What do you want fox?" Naruto said, a slight hint of annoyance in his voice. "Happy Birthday child." a low demonic voice said from behind large iron bars. "Thanks fox, any reason for you being so nice?" Naruto said.
"Well, I suppose it's time you knew." Kyuubi said as he came out of the shadows and stood before Naruto. "Knew what?" Naruto said in curiosity. Kyuubi began to explain, "You already know who your father is and what he did so that saves some of our time. But, you do not know what all he did." "What do you meen?" Naruto said. Kyuubi continued, "Your father set your seal up so that when you reach the age of 18, we fully become one. This meens I must help you, train you, obey you. You will be able to call upon my power whenever you please. But, we must make a deal. If you are to use my power, I must be able to roam free."
"No way! I won't indanger anyone by doing that!" Naruto yelled at Kyuubi. Kyuubi explained further, "Do not worry child, I will not be able to harm anyone. By setting me free I will appear beside you in the form of a familiar. In your case, a large fox. Slightly larger then that Inuzuka boy's dog. Of course I will have nine tails though."
Naruto just stared at the Kyuubi not sure if he could trust him. Kyuubi saw this and said, "And if at any time you feel that I need to be restrained, simply place your hands on the seal and pump chakra into it. This will make me fade away and put me back into this insufferable cage."
Naruto pondered this for a minute and finally said, "So how do I get you out?" At this the Kyuubi smiled. Not the evil-I'm-gonna-kill-you smile that Naruto was so use to seeing from the biju. But a genuine happy smile.
Then Kyuubi became serious, he said, "All you must do is perform these hand signs. Dragon, tiger, monkey, ram, tiger, fox, then remove the seal. I must warn you though, the first time you do this it will be extremely painful."
Naruto looked excited, he nearly yelled, "Lets do this fox!" Kyuubi looked confused. he said, "Did you not here the 'extremely painful' part?" Naruto simply put his hands behind his head, grinned, and said "Since when has that stopped me before?"
Kyuubi laughed and said, "This is why I like you kit. Alright, let us begin!"
Naruto went through the necessary hand signs, wnet up the the seal, and ripped it off. He screamed out in pain and the Kyuubi's chakra bomb rushed him.
Hinata watched in horror as Naruto was suspended in the air. Her eyes teared up as she wached her love scream out in pain, going through all the nine tails transformations. When she tried to touch him her hand was puched back by an invisable force. She was now sobbing as Naruto's face twisted in agony. "Naruto-Kun..." she whispered.
"Naruto-kun," she said a little louder. Her sobs mixed with her final scream, "Naruto-kun!" tears flowing down her face. Tazuna and the chef ran into the room. "What's going on!?" Tazun yelled as he tried to push Naruto from the air down to the couch, only to be pushed so hard he went flying into the wall.
"Tazuna-san!" the chef yelled running over to him. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto's screams suddenly became mixed with what sounded to be a demon. Two voices screaming in unison at the excrutiating pain.
Then, as suddenly as it started, it stopped. Naruto's body landed with a thud onto the ground. Hinata ran over to him still sobbing. Her heart sank as she saw Naruto wasnt breathing. She felt for a pulse, but found none. She fell to her knees. Her love, the one person she truly admired, the hero of Kanoha, dead.
"Naruto NO!" she screamed as she through herself onto the seemingly lifeless body of the boy. "Do not worry girl, he is not dead." Hinata turned to see a fox. Not just any fox, the beautiful fox she ever saw. It was a glowing gold color, with dark red tufts of fur on the ends of each tail and it's ears. It's shiny gray chest showing below his neck.
"It has... nine tails!?" Hinata thought as she stared at the beautiful creature. without moving it's mouth he said, "Yes child, I have nine tails." "How did he know what I was thinking?" Hinata thought. "Because child, I can talk to anyone who my kit holds dear, and vise versa."
"Your kit?" a confused Hinata said. "Yes, my kit. I have been with the boy his intire life. I consider him my family, since niether of us have one. I protect him when he needs me. I shall let him explain to you who I am when he awakens."
"So he's not dead!?" Hinata said outloud, too happy to keep it in. At this, Tazuna and the chef breathed a sigh of relief. Hinata again threw herself onto Nauto, new sobs coming from her. Not sobs of sorrow, but sobs of joy. "Naruto-kun... thank god.." she said as she buried her face into his chest.
"Be happy kit. You have someone who loves you more then life." Kyuubi thought to himself.
