Chapter 3: First meeting.
Naruto woke up an immediately released a chakra pulse.
'Hmm, I'm all alone in this room, but the one next to me is filled with children. I guess I'm in the orphanage huh?' Mused Naruto.
'How long was I out?'
{[Two days.]
'What happened after I passed out?'
[Minato and Kushina are dead, Kyuubi is sealed in you, no one ether wanted or was allowed to adopt you and you ended up in an orphanage. Here's video file.]
As soon as He said it Naruto received a 'October 10th .vid' file.
'Thanks. Is there any way to speed up my growth rate?'
[Ask Kyuubi.]
'How is she?' Ask Naruto with concern. Nobody likes to deal with a womans fury.
[How did you know it's a she?] He asked saddened by the surprise being ruined.
'I know you all too well,' Naruto thought with a smirk. 'So… how is she?'
[Pretty pissed, but nothing you can't deal with.]}
'*sigh* well, might as well look through everything that happened in the last two days.' Naruto thought and froze the time once again. He quickly scrolled through everything that happened, finally stopping at the point, where he lay on a table, in what he presumed was the council chamber.
"We must finish what youndaime-sama started and kill the demon!" Shouted a fat man from the civilian council. Others from civilian council supported him.
"NO, you will NOT touch the boy," shouted Hiruzen and released some KI (killing intent). That quickly shut civilians up.
"Why are those pigs even here? They don't understand a thing about Jinchuuriki," growled Tsume.
"This concerns the whole village Tsume, not just shinobi," said Hiashi.
"Hmpf," said Tsume glaring at three now covering figures.
"Enough." Hiruzen called to order, "We have more important subjects to discuss."
"What is there to discuss, just let me take care of him and be done with it." Said Tsume again.
"We cannot allow Jinchuuriki being raised in any clan," Danzo butted in, "Now if you can let me take care of him in one of mine child care centers-"
"I will not let you make him in one of your mindless drones Danzo," Hiruzen said in a voice that made it clear – his decision is final.
"Then what do you propose? Let him rot in an orphanage?" Tsume asked furiously. When silence was all that answered her, she played her final card, "I'm sure one of his 'care takers' will try to 'save the village' and kill 'the demon'."
"No need to worry about that Tsume. I'll have anbu watching him nonstop," Hiruzen reassured her.
"What if one of your anbu decides to be an idiot?" Tsume wasn't so convinced.
"I assure you, my anbu are purely professional. Besides I'm issuing an order – everything concerning Uzumaki Naruto is a S – rank secret, as far as anyone concerned he is just another orphan. Furthermore, if anyone tries to approach him with a hostile intent, they will be executed immediately." Proclaimed Hiruzen.
A few gasps could be heard from the civilian side, but no one dared to object.
'And that's how I ended up here,' mused Naruto. 'Let's see where are those anbu at…' With that he released another chakra pulse. This time, besides all the little signatures next door, Naruto noticed a few others, a little further in and another one just outside the window.
'The one outside must be the anbu if his massive chakra signature is anything to go by. Smaller than Kushina's, but definitely bigger than Mikoto's. On another note I'm a Jinchuuriki now, let's check my new status out. ' Some lightning fast menu manipulations later and Naruto finds himself looking at his now updated status screen.

'Holy sweet baby Jesus raptors. This. Is. AWESOME. Hahaha… wow.' To say that he was pleased would be the same as saying nothing. Calming himself down he thought, 'Well, looks like my main stat to level up will be DEX. And the best part is that I'll never have to worry about my chakra control. By the way – why am I lvl 3?'
{[You see, Namikadze Minato was an S rank in the Bingo Book. Exp reward for him was 3000.]
'So? I wasn't the one who killed him.'
[Yes, but the Kyuubi, who dealt the killing blow, was, at the moment of his death, sealed inside you.]
'And I was the one who received all the exp.'
[Yep. Problem?] he asked with a smile.
'Nope, none what so ever.'}
As they finished they short exchange, Naruto felt another anbu moving closer, the one that was inside. The one that came in was no other than our favorite anbu captain.

'Hmm, from what I'm seeing I think it's safe to assume that gaining levels would be quite difficult.'
{[Correct once again, my friend. You'll get exp only by completing quests or killing people from the Bingo Book.]
'So like 'Witcher 3' on hardest difficulty?'
[Yeah, pretty much.]}
As if His confirmation wasn't enough a system message appeared.
INS +1
"Ah, you're finally awake Naruto," said Yugao with a smile.
'Good to know that she has a soft spot for kids,' Naruto smiled.
The smile didn't escape Yugao's attention and hers widened as she moved closer, baby bottle in hand.
"Time for you to eat."
Naruto happily drank his milk. When he was done an icon appeared next to his HP bar.
Well fed: All stats increased by 10%.
When Yugao left Naruto decided it was finally the time.
'*sigh* Facing an angry woman is never easy. Here goes nothing,' he thought and entered his mindscape.
1%, 2%, 3%... 99%, 100%.
New location discovered: Mindscape +100 exp.
When Naruto opened his eyes, he found himself in a corridor. There was no visible light source but it definitely wasn't dark. Naruto was the same shadowy orb he was while in the Nexus.
'So this is the seal… I better go find my tenant.' He thought and started floating towards the massive chakra signature. After taking a few turns he came into a giant room with a gate for the fourth wall. Behind the bars he caught glimpses of an enormous trashing shadowy figure with nine tails.
'Maybe a change of scenery is in order.' Following his thoughts he returned his mindscape to its usual state – a slightly altered version of 'Darkroot Garden' (from a game 'Dark Souls'). The main difference was that it actually was somewhere around dawn instead of nighttime and the whole area had swords impaled into the ground, trees and rocks and there were swords even at the bottom of the lake. The strangest thing was that all those weapons looked like they belonged there, like everything grew with them already there.
'Seems like this place is getting better.' Naruto thought with a smile and morphed into a more humanoid figure to touch the closest blade. He was still a shadow with silver eyes, but he had a form of a man in his mid – twenties.
[It sure does, considering it started off a brown dusky wasteland. Only thing that remained are the swords.]
'Yeah, I like those swords. I feel like being able to control them at will will help immensely with the upcoming confrontation.'
[Haha, good luck.]
"*sigh* No time like the present." Naruto said out loud and started moving towards the now slightly confused but still angry chakra signature.
When he came out of the forest he was greeted with one of the most majestic sights he ever had a pleasure witnessing. In the middle of the clearing pacing back and forth was a giant black fox with nine white tipped tails. The fox had glowing slitted silver eyes and a collar with a silver medallion that had a 'seal' written in kanji on it. Kyuubi was near a lake that was in a ravine, forest ended on a cliff above it, so Naruto ended up standing on a cliffside pretty much eye level with the vixen.
"Hey, beautiful." Was Naruto's greeting.
Kyuubis head shot towards him and she jumped to attack him. Naruto jumped to avoid the attack.
"So we're doing it the hard way then," he took a deep breath and started, " I am the bone of my-"
{[NO, GOD PLEASE, NO]
'Ok, ok, chill. I'm just joking.'
[Do not joke like that,] he said in horror and cut the connection.}
As they finished their little exchange, a sword came from the ground and struck Kyuubi's side. She roared and tried to smash shadowy figure with her paw. Before it connected another sword came in an arc and pinned Kurama's paw to the ground. Before she could free it, three more swords flew from the front and both of her sides. As they struck home tails came into play, but none of them could reach Naruto as multiple swords shot up all around them and descended in a shower, striking her back and pining all of her tails to ether the ground or her back. As Kyuubis head came to the ground Naruto took his first step since the fight began. As he walked closer to her muzzle our shadowy hero pulled out a sword from the ground and pointed it right at her nose.
"Are you ready to talk yet, or do we need to go for another round?" he asked in a cold tone. Kyuubi glared at him but as she look closer and actually paid attention to who she was attacking the look in her eyes changed from rage to curiosity and even slight fear.
"Who… what are you. You are not human." Kurama asked confused.
A silvery smile that would put even Cheshire cat to shame split shadowy figures face, "My name is Naruto and I'm your new container."
