Naruto lay sound asleep within his mindscape lying easily within reach of the fox's claws if the beast had wanted to reach through the bars. The fact that he did not want to was what was giving the great nine tails so much bother, he could not fathom his attachment to the child. He looked at the boys face his keen eyes picking out his features and noticed the harshness of them for one so young even when his growth was accelerated.
His face was sharp and angular but strong, the scar running along his face made him look scarier which the fox naturally approved of and his mane of wild hair was starting to reach the child's eyes. He was shirtless here as he was in the real world and the fox saw the scars littering the boys defined chest and thought of the pain the boy had suffered at such a young age. Perhaps that was why he cared for the boy he had always been the most possessive of his siblings in the past after all jealousy and hate are closely linked, he felt the boys pain and isolation as he too was isolated and this child had showed him more love than any human in the last 500 years.
Despite what many people thought the tailed beasts were not simply mindless beats and had feelings too. Kyuubi had finally admitted the main cause of his anger after all this time, he was lonely. He thought of his brothers and sisters and wondered if they had followed in his path of destruction or if they had surprised him and controlled themselves and learnt to care as he thought he might be starting too. He decided at that point that whilst he hated most humans for their ignorance and what they had done to him Naruto was equally as wronged and he would protect his new host from their cruelness any longer. He smiled to himself not just his host,his friend.
Kyuubi suddenly noticed that the object of his thoughts was no longer unconscious and was staring at him with a curious look in his eyes. "Umm Kyuubi" the boy started cautiously "are you smiling?" He had never seen the fox do that before and he pondered what could ever cause it. "I was just thinking to myself kit, now you need to wake up you've slept long enough" and with that a clawed hand snaked through the bars towards theblonde, who showed no fear, and flicked his forehead gently.
Naruto woke suddenly his red eyes flashing in annoyance "you could've just told me to leave" me muttered recieving only a dark chuckle from his mind. A split second later he registered his surroundings and panicked. A flash of red chakra that had been barely present seconds before shattered the bed he had been in. Naruto quickly got to his feet among the wreckage of the room and his wild reflex's courtesy of the fox's influence took over and he punched through the nearest wall with a chakra enhanced blast desperate to get out of the enclosed space.
Across the village a woman standing at the counter of a weapons shop span around in shock at the chakra she felt across the village, she was hardly a sensor but even she could recognise this. It brought a flash of fear to her mind but she quickly pushed it away and grabbed her purchases before taking off across the village, a determined look on her face,she had a friend to save. It didn't take her long to locate her target this was hardly a ninja village and was little more than slums that bandits frequented and hid out in but even they were capable of recognising the danger they were in. And we're so terrified that they were avoiding the boy but several missing nin such as herself also used this stop to replenish their supplies and she looked on in horror as she saw Naruto in a state of panic become surrounded by 3 ninja.
A few minutes earlier...
Naruto was running through the streets in a state of panic, despite his new strength he still wasn't over his fear of what villagers could do to him, the pain still fresh in his mind. Inside his cage the Kyuubi was worried the boy's flared chakra was enough to keep most people away from the boy but he could feel ninja in the area and the fox knew it wouldn't be long before they moved to investigate. He cursed the woman who he'd trusted Naruto's body with, rationally he knew it wasn't her fault but the situation they were in was still real and dangerous. His hosts coils were not healed from his excessive chakra use.
"Naruto" the fox's voice boomed through the blondes mind but the child didn't hear as he ran through the streets. "Naruto calm down you need to listen to me" the fox tried again panic now evident in his voice as he felt several chakra signatures get closer. The fox banged on the bars to his cage in frustration as the blonde was halted by a figure blurring infront of him, he turned but two more people were blocking each of his exits. He tried to draw more chakra but no more would come. "What the fuck Kyuubi i need more chakra!" He yelled out, "your coils are still damaged from your last fight anymore could permanently harm them this is all you've got" fear crept back into Naruto's heart as he observed the men surrounding him. They wore typical shinobi gear of long shinobi trousers and a loose black top. The one in front of him wore a flack jacket jacket and had his face covered whilst the other two were both a males who looked about seventeen years old. "Naruto the masked man is the most dangerous, these shinobi are from iwa Naruto they'll use rock attacks watch the ground." The fox had told him about the different kinds of ninjutsu during his time in the forest and he remembered what he'd been told when fighting ninja watch for hand signs he thought to himself. They won't be able to hurt me they're only human.
The fox breathed a sigh of relief Naruto had calmed down significantly, he promised himself he'd actually teach the boy to fight when they got out of this his enhanced reflex's and instincts could only take him so far; Kyuubi was under no delusion that Itachi had been holding back against the boy but put that to the back of his mind. Outside the two unmasked ninja moved at Naruto simultaneously one swiping at his throat he leaned back just in time before raising an arm to block an axe kick from the other man, his strength meaning he didn't move an inch despite blocking with only one arm. The man looked at him in shock only now seeing then crimson eyes of his opponent almost losing himself in the hatred he could see in them.
The look of fear in the man's eyes helped to return Naruto's confidence, he didn't need to be scared anymore. Kyuubi was grateful for the enhancements he had made to the muscles of the blonde as they were much stronger than normal humans even without extra chakra. Still in the same position as before Naruto pushed with his arm throwing the man who had been trying to kick him across the street and span quickly at his opponent falling into his feral stance as he did. His opponent moved back as he did but the jinchuriki was faster and sprang forward batting away the mans swipe barely feeling the slice to his hand and punched the man in the stomach. How he wished he had his Chakra. Normally withhis chakra claws the man would be dead as it was he was still thrown through a house, Naruto observed his cut hand with disdain the pain was minor compared to what he could deal with but normally it would've been gone in seconds but it was taking considerably longer now. His enhanced reflexes forced him to drop as the other man sent a powerful fist above his head, Naruto's enhanced eyes saw the coating of rock around his hand and his eyes widened this was the first time he had seen rock ninjutsu, it was rare in Konoha so whilst he had often seen fire and even wind and lightning this was new to him.
But nothing compared to his power he smirked to himself as he stepped into his opponent and grabbed his opponents encased arm, the mans eyes widened at the strength of the young man when suddenly his surprise turned to horror as he cried in pain. Naruto pummelled his arm for the second time breaking yet more bones in the mans arm after his first punch had destroyed the rock armour, third punch to the mans head and he dropped blood tricking down his face. Kyuubi smiled proudly the boy was definitely a natural fighter even without training, the two men were only high genins maybe low chunins but they'd still been obliterated. His only real worries were the other man who had yet to move and despite his accomplices being knocked out and the one was probably going to die, also the crazy smile on his hosts face was making him doubt his hosts sanity for not the first time. Not that it was an issue but he should still probably sort it out at some point so he didn't completely snap.
Naruto turned to the last man who hadstood patiently watching his battle, he drew a short sword holding it loosely at his side. "Naruto uzumaki, jinchuriki of Konoha" he said nuetrally "or should I say formerly of Konoha." Inside Naruto's mindscape the fox cursed Naruto must be in konoha's bingo book now, he neededto get hold of one of those soon. He sighed there was so much to do and he was used to sleeping all day... he missed those days sometimes.
The man in front of Naruto suddenly startedtowards him swinging his blade dangerously and at speeds so fast that Naruto could only see a flash of sliver even with his eyes and cursed that he couldn't put any more chakra to them, the result was several shallow cuts as Naruto couldn't dodge quickly enough. Feeling himself start to heal he forced a connection to Kyuubi "stop healing them and use all the chakra I can to coat my arm" the fox was taken aback then smirked the kid was also pretty smart. The enemy ninja was on the attack again and was shocked when Naruto didn't dodge, he was even more shocked tho when istead of slicing through the boys arm his blade was stopped by a layer of red chakra coating that reached to the boys elbow. The second of shock was all Naruto needed as his other hand swung with all his force into the man's ribs winding him and in a moments more the man was bleeding out in the floor a chakra claw having torn through the man's throat. He turned with a grin "no human can kill a a demon lik-" he started before he passed out from chakra overuse for the second time in days. The last thing he saw was a flash of grey and worried green eyes.
Hidan leapt to Naruto as he collapsed, she had been stopped by some stupid ninja who had recognised he from the bingo book of a village she'd pissed of at some point and whilst they'd made glorious sacrifices to jashin she had ended it quickly before moving to her friend only to see him finish of the ninja, turnsay something and then collapse. She looked down at her face, this was becoming a theme she thought. She hefted him over her shoulder "you're such a heavy shitbag ya know that" she muttered. Now for more days of waiting for her blonde mystery to wake up, but maybe not in a village this time she thought to herself as she began walking away from the scene.
A/N; yeah so Naruto whilst Naruto is pretty strong I wanna make something clear he's nowhere near overpowered. The first two ninja were basically well trained genin and he only beat the stronger opponent due to the element of surprise, sure he was weak but he still has only survived so far by the fox's power and he's damaging himself doing it so it's not ideal for him.
Also a few people commented on the structure of my writing, I'm sorry about that i write a lot of my chapters on my phone and that issue is sorted now.
Anyways R&R as always ja ne
