Well here is yet an other chapter, damn i was so mad at fanfiction, since like Sunday, i was unable to log in! I bet you guys all had similar problems, because i would like to think that it wasn't just me :P it would also explain the lack of reviews! :( anyway, since i have no reviews to comment on, i guess there is nothing left but to just shut up and post the story :P

This chapter was revised on May 18th 2017. Most grammar errors should have been addressed (Hopefully :P) I did a few enhancements and changed a few things around but the story remained unchanged

Saving old bonds

Chapter 9 (Revised)

Naruto suddenly found himself in a very familiar sewer "What the? Why am I here, why now of all time!" Naruto wasn't happy to be losing any time he had with Sakura, he walked straight to the locked gate, knowing it had to be 'him' that summoned him here "Hey fox! Why the hell did you bring me here! I don't need you, actually I haven't needed you in a long time, and I don't plan to ever need you again!"

Red glowing eyes could be seen from behind the bars, however, unlike before, he didn't attempt to break down the gate with his claw, like he would normally do to show how much he wanted to just get out and kill Naruto "Shut up kit, I have brought you down here to talk with you" Simply said the Kyuubi

"What do you want? You better make it quick because I am not in the mood to be here talking with you" Naruto said in anger, he was taking up some of his precious time with Sakura

"I told you to shut up and calm down, like I said, I want to talk with you" The Kyuubi said once again, without a hint of anger in his voice. Which kind of surprised Naruto a bit, in the past the fox had always mocked him or tried to kill or eat him

"Alright, then speak, but make it quick" Naruto said calming down, knowing being angry wouldn't get him out of here any sooner

"Kit, I am sure you have noticed, my powers are growing weaker, and weaker, when you were last injured in your fight against the Uchiha, instead of being healed within a day or 2, it took you over a week"

"Yeah, I noticed, so what's causing it?"

"The seal is much more powerful then what your teacher, Jiraiya, had originally thought, he was under the impression that the seal was becoming weaker as you got older, he assumed this because of my many attempts to break out of your body have become very desperate as my powers slowly fades away" The Kyuubi said, sounding slightly concerned for his own life

"So? Why should I care? You deserve to just fade away!" Naruto replied

"I don't expect you to understand me! But I do not wish to die! So, I am here to make you an offer kit"

"And what could you possibly offer me?"

"There are several things I can offer you, and in exchange for my life, they shall be yours!"

"And risk you attacking the innocent again? I think not, I am sure your offers are very tempting, but they are not worth risking the lives of the people who just want to live in peace on this planet, you can just fade into nothingness for all I care"

"Just hear me out at least!" The Kyuubi said, getting irritated with Naruto's pig headedness

"Fine, go right ahead, humor me, but be warned that I will probably just say no" Naruto said with a grin

"The first thing I can offer, is your healing abilities back, I could also give you the ability to go into Kyuubi mode, without any ill effects, and of course, you would not lose control of yourself, however your body could probably not handle any more than mode 4, even then, it would only be for a short amount of time since it would burn your chakra at a much faster rate"

"Have you forgotten that I have already been to 4 tail mode? Granted, I wasn't in control, but my body was able to handle it, well other than your chakra cutting my skin like razor blades"

"That's because I was the one trying to break out, this would be you going into the mode willingly, it would be much more powerful"

"I see, well as interesting as that sounds…"

"I am not done yet!" The Kyuubi said suddenly, knowing that Naruto was trying to turn down his offer "I also offer you the Fox summon scroll, this scroll has not been used or seen by man in many centuries, you would be the first who I allow the contract to be given too, Also, all this would be able to be passed down to your children, and thus, it will become your family's blood limit"

Naruto was seriously considering the offer, and the Kyuubi could tell, it was time to close the deal with the last thing he could offer Naruto that would make this an offer he could not refuse "Lastly, I have added a clause to my contract, I will not be able to attack this world unless ordered to do so by a contact holder, meaning, for as long as you, or your descendants control my contract, I will be under your control, and you should know that I am not able to break the contract, once you sigh it with your blood, it cannot be undone, not by me, nor by you"

"Why are you offering me all this if you're just going to be under my control?" Naruto asked

"I would rather be under your control, then die here, and being in your body for almost 20 years has changed the way I look at the world as well"

"If what you say is true, then I would agree to these terms, but I want to see the contract, and I want to see that clause of yours!" Naruto said sternly

The Kyuubi nodded his head and a contract appeared at his paws, he pushed it threw the gate since he knew Naruto wouldn't risk going near the cage to get it himself. Naruto picked it up and opened it, he read it, it was very much like his frog contract, except the names on the scroll were very few, he would be the third person to sign it, but his eyes scanned the document for that clause, and he found it, it indeed stated that he was not allowed to attack the people of the world anymore unless specified by the contract holder who summoned him, or the other foxes

"very well Kyuubi, I accept these terms" Naruto simply said as he put the contract on the ground and kneeled in front of it, he bit his thumb and pressed on the wound to get the blood to come out, he was about to write his name, but before he could begin the Kyuubi stopped him

"Kit, before you write your name, there is something you should know"

"Oh here it comes, I knew there was a catch!" Naruto said with an angered voice, just about ready to throw the deal back at Kyuubi

"It's not what you think kit, it's about your name… You deserve to know the truth, Uzumaki Kushina was indeed your mother from the whirlpool country, however, your father was not an Uzumaki"

"What are you talking about? Are you trying to say that I am not an Uzumaki? Who is my father if he wasn't from the Uzumaki clan?"

"Honestly kit, I can't believe you haven't figured it out yet, it's almost scary how much you resemble him"

"Wait, what are you saying? That you KNEW my father?! I doubt that!"

"Indeed I knew him, he is the one who sealed me in the body of his new born child…" the Kyuubi simply said, wondering if Naruto could piece the rest of the puzzle

Naruto couldn't believe what he was hearing "But…The person who sealed you in me was…The 4th Hokage, Namikaze Minato, the great Konoha village hero..."

"Indeed, you are a spitting image of your father"

Naruto though back to all the images and pictures he had seen of the 4th Hokage, the Kyuubi was right when he said that he looked exactly like him, well except for the fact that he had the fox's marks on his face "But why are you telling me this now?!"

"Because, when you sign that contract, in order for it to be valid, you must sign with your true name, Namikaze Naruto"

Naruto still couldn't believe it, he was the son of the 4th Hokage, could it be true? Or was the Kyuubi trying to trick him somehow, if what he said was true that in order for the contract to be valid, he had to sign his real name, what happens if it's a lie and he sighs with Namikaze instead of Uzumaki, then the contract would be void, and the Kyuubi could go right back on his word without breaking the contract "How do I know your telling me the truth?! I signed the frog contract with Uzumaki, and its valid!"

"It's only valid because the frog boss knew your father, they actually fought me together, and he allowed you to sign your name as Uzumaki, I however want you to use your true name, and I want you to be proud of it"

Naruto didn't know what to do, he almost felt like just forgetting everything and just letting the damned Kyuubi die, but for some reason, he couldn't detect any deceit from him, he decided that he wanted to believe, he wanted to be the son of the great hero of Konoha, his idle, his entire reason for wanting to be Hokage himself. He bit his thumb again since the blood had dried up, he began signing his name. It began to glow in red as it burnt into the scroll

"I am now yours to command, I only ask that you break this seal so that I may regain my powers and not die a slow death"

Naruto was still slightly hesitant, as soon as he released that seal, the Kyuubi would be free again, but a deal is a deal, and he is not about to go back on his word, it wasn't his way. Naruto walked all the way up to the sealed door, he had never been this close to the Kyuubi before, he was so close that if the Kyuubi chose to, he could easily grab Naruto with his claws and drag him inside so he could kill him and take over his body, but the fox did not move, perhaps he wasn't lying after all. Naruto put his hand on the seal and grabbed it, he thought one last time to make sure this is what he wanted to do. Without warning he ripped it off. The sewers suddenly began to shake as if an earth quake was going on. The gate suddenly disappeared and the Kyuubi stood there in front of Naruto, nothing could stop him. He could now freely kill Naruto if he wanted too but he just bowed his head at his new master

"I thank you for your trust, and I shall reward you with everything I promised, from this day on, Namikaze Naruto, you and your descendants shall be the masters of the Fox summing scroll, as well as the Kyuubi mode as your blood limit and your healing abilities, and one last thing, I guess I should have mentioned this before, but the marks on your face will not fade with me being gone. And it will actually be passed onto your children as well, think of it as a sign of your blood limit"

With that said, the fox disappeared in a ball of smoke "Not like it changes anything for me anyway, I have gotten use to them" he said with a grin, and suddenly he was back with Sakura, she was still laying down on him while watching the sky, although it felt like hours, it had only been a few minutes, Sakura got up and looked at Naruto

"I have an idea!" she said cheerfully

"Oh? And what would that be?" Naruto asked

"It's still early, and I don't feel like going home yet, I am having too much fun being with you, I am just so happy that I want to go dancing! Its only slightly past ten, most of the clubs are still open, please say you want to come with me!" She said smiling and tilting her head slightly while closing her eyes.

That was it, how could he say no to that?! She could ask him to burn down the entire village with that face and he doubted he could refuse her, not when she is looking at him like that, this was worst then a puppy dog face "Of course Sakura Chan" he said with a grin to match her smile

"Great!" She said while pulling Naruto up to his feet "This is the best night that I have ever had, and it's all thanks to you Naruto"

Naruto blushed a bit, he was in heaven right now; nothing could ruin his night now, absolutely nothing
