CHAPTER 1: BEAST AND FRIEND? (NARUTO P.O.V)

It's been five years after that promise and my journey to Osaka, it took me long to learn control them and I also learn few of my gifts as I used them. I learn how to convince them something that was a total lie and because of that I have a job and a place to crash that was near the mountains. Clothes to buy and a dinner, well I have no idea how to cook so I settle on the cup noodles. I can hear things that was 1.5 mile radius, I can smell most likely anything and everything from same distance and I can hide in the shadow just like it was nothing. About the strength that I have was five years ago, I can still remember the taste of eating raw human meat in my mouth and the promise that it will be the first and the last to eat, as my hands turns into fist. I shook my head and remember the promise that I have since that day and slap my face to give myself a boost and run to the mountain for practice. I was always at the mountains to train and explore my gifts until a voice was called to me, it came after I learned that my eyes can only see at the daylight and I need to train them for darker caves.

"Man it's dark in here, but one way or another I might be alive." said it out-loud to hear my echo to the caves that I was walking. 'Right here Naruto, come' the voice said as I was getting closer to the light at the end of the tunnel. I close my eyes because it too bright after an hour of running into the darkness, as I open my eyes as I see a big crystal that was in front of me . it was shinning so bright that I could see everything around me, as I squint my eyes to see what makes it light up and I see it clearer. There was a man that was inside of it and he looks like… me? "I see that you made your way here young man" was the voice behind me as I turn around to find an adult that has black robe and long hair, he has an eye patch that was on his left side and an opened layer to where I can see his right hand. I squint a little bit to see the sword that was behind him, in alarm I dashed to the exit to find that he was blocking it with his body. He put his right hand in his front to form a sign that I don't know and suddenly I find myself immobilized, chains that was burst from the water that are left to right holding my arms, legs and neck that was slammed at the floor of cold water. I feel heat that was rising above my stomach and power that was rise from my arms to my very nails that I'm about to lose control of my whole being until. "Hey, I'm sorry that I have to do this" the man said to me who was holding my head, I was looking to him in what to be in his eyes. 'His crying, he's a man yet his crying. Why is he crying? He's going to kill me?' my head was in a loop of confusion and then he ruffled my head with his big hand. 'What?' was in my head as I looked at him again, he take his hand back to his front and do another sign and I was able to move again but the chain around me was latched to my ankles, wrists, and neck and holding me into… nothing.

"Sorry for the scare." was he said to me after he backed up, "It's been a while since I guard 'him' here. How many years has it been? I've already lost count to all of it" as he looked and walked to the crystal that I was still thinking that his very dangerous. I see the exit already clear and then I shift my head to the stranger that was seating in front of the crystal. "You can leave if you wish, those chains are just what connects you to this cave. If you wish to see him." he said before I ran to the exit. I ran out of the chambers and there was light in every step I take and as I see the light to exit, I found myself that I was at the foot of the mountain and when I looked at the chains that was in my body they become nothing. I took a peek at the back to see if the cave was there but only trees and bushes that only meets my eyes.

Nighttime falls and I was still bothered by the cave I just explore, not to mention I almost got killed by that Asshole too. Well even if he didn't kill me it was still an intent, or so I said to myself as I look to my window and look at those trees. My mind was wondered if there are traps that are going to wait for him if he ever go back to the cave again. My eyes are squint that I gave up on staying still and change my clothes and took off using the window. The height was surely 15- feet of the ground and the landing will be pretty off so I took my blanket and knot it to the bed and secure it to make sure that I will be able to land safely. I throw the rest of the blanket out of the window and start to make my way to the ground, I then look to the door and off to the woods. I was running and I can feel the cold wind blowing through my cheeks, as I was in the middle of running to find the cave that caught my attention. "Naruto, in here. Come" was voice called to me and it was the same as back then, my ankles glow as to what was led me to the cave and run towards it. I can feel that someone was watching me and I fist my hand just to be ready if the guy that I meet or whoever was out there tried to kill me. As I walk near the cave, I hear rustle as I was about to throw a stick in the bushes to find a…. Rabbit?! Okay, maybe I being paranoid but hey at least I can practice my eyes in darkness. "Hiya!" was screamed from my back and a boy with same age as I do tackled me from behind. 'He's just a normal so don't use 'that' to him' was in my head but still he grabbed the stick and point it in my face. As I pushed him and jumped to the bushes and take good look at him and the moon did reveal what he looks like. He has black hair and a little bit odd for a style, he has dark eyes that looks the same as the one at the cave. He wear a T-shirt that has turtleneck and a quite loose and it has logo behind his shirt, probably his from some clan. And speaking of the cave I have to get there before I get stopped again, I grabbed a small rock and throw it to the opposite bush that I was in and luck was on my side. It did reached the other bushed but he was going to this side like he already know that this was going to happened, he hit the bush to where I was and I just grabbed it like it was nothing. I throw the stick behind me and jumped the place that I need to go. The chains in my ankles are glowing after I ran away from that kid, after that I ran to where my feet are taking me until 'Here Naruto, I've been expecting you' the same voice that was expecting me to come to the same cave.

A few more minutes and I'm almost at the cave, I can see the entrance already and there was a guard in there waiting. I decided to hide from a bit so I can see the reason why he was outside, 'Thanks for the guide kid' said the man that was behind me. He grabbed my back neck like I was a rabbit and took me out of my hiding place, "Well it looks like we have a stray child" he said as he lifted me a little higher and show me to the man in robe. "You know you should let him go, he was the first child that I saw that came here on his own two feet" he said, and from the looks of it there was also a kid that was beside him. It was the same kid that was trying to protect this place, he also have someone beside him too and it looks like a girl. The girl has pink hair and green eyes, she was holding a bat. A baseball bat to be exact, and she wears a T-shirt that was color red and pants that was cut up to her knees. "You can let him go you know, I don't think that he was that really weak to begin with" the man in robe order the man that was holding me. "Fine but don't blame me if he's going to do something" he said as he let me go, his face was covered with bandage that was stop under his eyes his body was also covered with bandage like he came back after a world war or something. He wears a pant with camouflage and combat boots too, on the top he only wears one shirt and his back was armed with a… baseball bat. Seriously, what's with this people and bats do they look like they can kill anyone with just that? Well, if it was brute force then yes it can kill anyone.

'Sorry about that Naruto, this people don't hear me that is why they think you're an enemy to them' the voice said 'it's not like everyday you see anyone that doesn't hold something modern to kill you' he added. "Well, since I'm here. What do you want from me?" I said out-loud and they look at me like I was going to do something dangerous while the man in robe laugh at me like I should just keep it to my head or something. But then I focus on what was on hand right now, that cave. I need to know why I was so drawn to it and why am I the only one who can hear the voice. The man in robe notice that my chains are glowing, i just realize it after he stare my neck and I walk quickly go to the cave. The two children was blocking my way and the man behind was about to grab me, when I grabbed his wrist and twist it that he kneel the floor and kick his face. I was using my force too much that I need to be careful, I still need to fulfill that very promise only that and I'm good. The man was holding his face and was still lying to the ground. I quickly my pace to the entrance as the two children hold their bats and swing it to my face but thankfully I dodge it and and land my hits to their stomach so they lose their conscience, and then the man robe was letting me pass like he already knew what I need to do. I look back to see the children are lying down and the man was holding his right arm that I almost break, I lay my head low and follow the man in robe. "So you can hear his voice" he started a conversation to me with my head still down "Yes" I answered, and that much kill the conversation. And after 5 minutes, "You know, I was told that you were a little bit tainted" he started another conversation to me, I raised my head and look to him in question "Tainted how?" I asked and saw him smile "Well to be exactly, I don't know until now that is" he answered with a smirk. "So you know what kind of tainted I am" I said clutching my hands to keep control of my temper "I should told you that this was the gift that I receive, and a curse at the same time" I added. The man in front of me give a chuckle, I smell the child with black hair that was tailing us. "You know you can run, but you can't hide" I said as I turn around and saw his hair spiking out of the rock that he was hiding. "Come, you also need to see this if I'm not mistaken" as I look back to the man in robe he returned a smile instead.

We are at the crystal part and just like the last time I was here it also light up, 'Welcome to my home, the one that was in front of you is my vessel' the voice told me as I look at the man in the crystal. I almost touch the crystal with my hand but then stop on my tracks as I heard that their was someone else than us three in here. There was clapping that was getting louder "Bravo, Bravo. You know there was one thing I know that you guys don't. This man right here was nothing but a traitor, but I should thank you for finding this treasure for me." as he enter the room he was short and wearing a suit. At his back the one in bandage was drag together with the girl that was struggle to get away from them but they were wounded because they fight me before. Well I couldn't blame them, I was a curse that was going to annihilate the whole town in mere seconds so what can they do. As I stare at the man, he pulls out a gun then aim it to my head like he was confident that I'll make a wrong move and I'm dead. "You know, that treasure is mine and mine only. I'm the only one can control that power, not you nor your friends can do that. And hell he choose a child like you to take over, well you can take over... that is to your next life." he said as he focus his aim on to me then… Bang! I was shot in my head but I was fine, the blade was redirect the bullet so it won't go to my head but to the rock above. I was about to grabbed the man with sheer anger as he aimed the gun again to my face but he was too late. From his wrist I twist his arm clockwise and he screamed in pain and glare at me for this cause. "You know, I may be a child to you but as you can see. I'm nothing like this kids behind me so, if you could be so kind at leaving before I have to broke my promise." and give him a stare with my red eyes. He was about to run when he was killed from behind, "You are not going to come back here again, that was the final we gave you but you're not that listening person" as the person that was wrapped in bandage pull the knife to the man's back and into his sheath.

He look at me like he was about to say something but, big hand was holding my head and ruffle it like there was no tomorrow. He then pushed me to the crystal "He was waiting for you to come, 'We' are waiting for you to come" he said as he standing to the same place as the man in robe. I touched the crystal that was about to fade away and a brighter light that was produced and swallow me in total blindness. As I slowly open my eyes I saw a big red creature that was in front of me with that was looking at me and at his back was tail, wait that was 1, 2, 5… 9 tails. "Are you afraid of me child?" the creature asked me as he look at my expression "No not at all" was my answer who was still lock my eyes at those eyes and he notice this too. He put his tail in front of me that looks like it was attacking me and with my instinct I evaded it but it drown me to it. He look at me like I just saw a fox tail in my life, well yeah what do you expect to the person who hasn't see any real fox and it was beautiful. He just smiled at me as I touched one of his tail and my eyes landed on his side that was wearing white and just sitting there. He look at me and at shock I hide at the tail of the fox, I still take a peek if he was just the ghost but he was not. He get up, walked towards me and lend his hand "You don't have to be afraid, I just need to pass you something and someone very important" he said looking to the fox that was still lending his tail for my comfort. Little by little I get out to my comfort zone, he was smiling and look at me like he remembered himself the time that he was in my age.

"I apologize to what was happened there, I can only see the chakras that was around me." he said with a sad face that was usually composed. "You can see what?" I asked because I could not understand what was a shaka, sake, or what kind of word it was. "Every living thing has chakra" he explain it to me while we seat at the beast's tail, "It was connected to your entire body." he added. "So, if I accept this another 'gift', I'll have another responsibility, is that it?" looking to the ripples of water and to my reflection. "The only responsibility that you are going to have, is to stay alive." he said "It's up to you if you want to use this 'gift' or not. Plus, I think that this will help you control your curse." he added and stand in front of me. I see his back that was in front of me and stare at it for a few minutes and, "So you know that I have curse?" I asked, "You know, maybe you should give this 'gift' to the dark haired boy. Cause I'm not suited to this" I added as I look back to my reflection.

"I was also a cursed person to so, I don't think you and I are that different" he said and looking at me with smile, look up to see his eyes are red. Shocked as I was about to stand up but keep still by the tail of the beast, like he was saying I'm not going to be hurt by him. The man stood there and doing nothing and started crying, "We should get started, my end is near." he said as his eyes are still flowing with tears, he was also looking at the beast that was holding me with his tail. Reaching his hand to the beast's nose and the beast let the man touch it. "Please, be safe." he whispered "And thank you for everything" he added as he let go the beast. Both of them have tears that was flowing and the man was looking to me, "He might give you some trouble but he will become your great ally" he said as he started the chant and the man was divided in two. The other half became a child-like figure and walked to me who was still sitting, the child walked in front of me and start to raise his left hand. "It's okay, I'll be sleeping inside you until you are good and ready." he said as he give me a big smile. I, on the other hand grabbed the boy's hand and watched how he entered to his hand and burned a mark. I also looked to the beast to ask but I was cut to close face of the beast, "You need a lot of time and knowledge to know my name. But I'll still give you a hand when trouble stirred up" he said after he enter my body. Well, I say he just find his way to my tummy and to be exact I got to say. He might take away my meal or make me puke if it wasn't his like and a strong scream was in my head saying "THERE'S NO WAY I CAN DO THAT!" and the man in front of me that has tears chuckle. He give me a necklace, it was blue like where I found him with two metal that was at beside of the gem and he gave me his goodbye
