The Change Of Kyuubi

Prologue

"Sasuke!"

"Naruto!"

It only lasted a second before the enormous ball of dark energy dissipated, leaving both youngsters lying down on the ground (now with no water), unconscious.

One of them had dark onyx hair and very pale skin, the other with blond, spiky hair and tan skin. The later with three whisker-like marks on each cheek.

Both of them seriously wounded. Each with a deep hole on one of their chest's sides. Sasuke Uchiha, on the right side, Naruto Uzumaki on the left one. Right through where his heart had once been.

However, Naruto kept his eyes open. He was not breathing, but something kept him alive. Cruel. The ability to heal was very troublesome. His heart kept trying to regenerate. Foolish attempts from the Kyuubi as not to die. Naruto mattered nothing to the beast. It only cared about himself.

Wasting his last painful moments, he imagined all his friends/comrades standing above him, looking down, smiling proudly at him. Well, everyone except Sakura... Who was sad. But not for him. For Sasuke. Soon she left his side and ran to the left, he guessed where Sasuke was. He had promised her... And, for the first time, he broke his ninja way.

Suddenly, he felt his heart stop regenerating. The beast had given up. 'Finally', Naruto thought, hoping for a quicker death. Slipping to unconsciousness, he last saw a woman with bright red eyes getting closer to him, bending over his face and putting her hand on his cheek. It was cold. Her hand was as cold as a dead person's.

Was it death? Could it be his mother?
