Chapter 2: Meeting kyuubi
Naruto woke up facing the white-washed ceiling of the hospital. He hated the place. He always ends up in one of the medical wards after the beatings he gets from the villagers. He was lucky that he heals fast or else he would be staying here for months with the injuries he keeps getting from the mobs. One of the doctors that he befriended even joked once that he should get one of the beds plated with his name since he was a regular 'customer' of the place.
He looked around to realize that he was alone. From the lack of light, it would seem that it is already evening so he must have been sleeping for quite a while. He stretched out the kinks on his body and found the lack of pain from his earlier beating to be a blessing. He swore that Kami gifted him with it so he would remain alive from the beatings he gets from the villagers.
Seeing a pitcher of water on the table beside his bed, he proceeded to pour himself a cup to water down his parched throat. He remembered what happened and looked around. He noticed the absence of the colorful orbs that he saw during the encounter with the mobs. He was depressed about that though. Those skills that he demonstrated would have been very handy, not to mention that it would be cool to have around.
"Everything that happened must have been a dream." thought Naruto.
"No kit. You didn't dream anything." He almost lost his grip on the glass of water he was holding. The voice was back. It wasn't a dream then.
"You're there whoever you are. I thought everything that happened was a dream." said Naruto, already freaking out. After all, he heard from one of the doctors that if you have a voice in your head that you talk to then you are definitely crazy.
"Nope. Not a dream. Everything you remembered from yesterday really happened." the voice replied with an amused tone.
"If it wasn't a dream then how come I don't see any of those flying thingies." challenged Naruto.
"Because the ability is turned off at the moment. It wouldn't be much of a bloodline if it's turned on all the time. I mean really, if you were a ninja, you would be spotted a mile away with your Elemental Orbs flying around you all the time."
"Elemental Orbs?" asked Naruto, now confused with everything that happened.
"Come into your mind, all will be explained."
With that, Naruto felt his consciousness being grabbed by something. He passed out again for the second time that day, his glass of water forgotten.
Naruto opened his eyes and saw himself in a sewer. He was in an ankle-deep of water with pipes all around him. The drips of water echoed from the distance.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Come to me." the voice said, no longer in his head but seems to echo from all around him from somewhere.
"I would if I know where you are." grumbled Naruto. A dry chuckle echoed across the walls. One of the pipes beside him lit up, giving the place a reddish hue.
"Follow the pipe, it will lead you to me." the voice instructed. Seeing nothing else to do, Naruto followed the lit pipe to discover the source of the voice.
It didn't take long but after a few minutes of walking, he found himself in a wide cavern the size of the Hokage Tower. The walls were filled with pipes in varying colors – red, blue, white, green, and brown. It was mesmerizing to look at. On the far edge of the cavern was a giant cage with bars the size of his body. On the middle of the cage was a paper with the Kanji of 'Seal'.
"Finally I get to meet my container for 8 long years. I've been waiting for you kit." said the voice that seem to come from the darkness in the other side of the cage.
"Where are you? Or more importantly WHO are you?" asked Naruto, peering into the darkness of the cage to see who he was talking to.
Before he could say anything else, the entire room was lit up by an intense wave of red chakra that seemed to emanate from the cage itself. The chakra felt heavy that it almost brought him to his knees, but as fast at it came, it was gone but the lighting around the cavern remained. When Naruto raised his head, he was face to face with a creature that he only heard described in books. He immediately backed away. "Kyuubi?"
"Got it in one. You're not as dumb as you look." the creature known as Kyuubi quipped in a demonic voice, similar to the one that has been echoing in his head.
"Hey. I'm not dumb." defended Naruto, still shaking a bit at the size of the creature in front of him.
"That remained to be seen." the fox mumbled which was still loud enough for an indignant Naruto to hear. "Anyway, we are currently in your mind or to be more specific, in the seal on your body."
"Seal? What Seal? You should be dead. The Yondaime killed you 8 years ago…" he was interrupted from his rant when a menacing wave of killer intent that flooded the room. Kyuubi growled.
"Killed? HA! The Yondaime couldn't possibility kill me. Me! The strongest of all the Bijuu. The Kyuubi no Kitsune. However, he did the only thing that could stop my rampage, he sealed me inside his only child. You!" said Kyuubi in a loud voice, unaware that he revealed something that he shouldn't have said this early of the conversation.
"WHAT? The Yondaime is my father?" shouted Naruto in disbelief. Not only was the Kyuubi sealed in his gut but he also found out that his father was the one who did that to him. His father was the Yondaime, one of the strongest Hokages of Konoha.
"Sometimes, the stupidity of humans can be very amusing." Kyuubi mused loudly. "Yes kit. I am sealed inside you and the Yondaime is your father. I don't know why this has been kept a secret from you so it's best if you ask the old man about it since I don't know anything about it."
Naruto's mental state was in chaos to say the least. Not only did he learn that the Kyuubi was sealed inside him but his father did it. He realized why he was called a demon all the time by the villagers. They think that he is the Kyuubi because he was its jailor. He felt betrayed that the old man didn't trust him enough to share this information with him. He was mad at the villagers for their stupidity. No tears fell but deep inside him, his anger was starting to smolder.
While he was deep in thought, the great Kyuubi was eyeing his host with a speculative gleam in his eyes. True, it was a bit of an insult to be sealed into a runt but there is nothing he can do about it now. He can also sense the hatred and anger coming from the boy. He needed to stop this now before the boy decides on something that he will regret later on.
"Snap out of it kit. This isn't the time to wallow in pity." said Kyuubi.
Upon hearing his voice, Naruto's head snapped up and gave the Kyuubi an intense glare that made the creature back up a bit. "You're one to talk. It's because of YOU that I'm hated by the villager. It is because of YOU that I'm always beaten on my birthday. IT IS BECAUSE OF YOU THAT MY LIFE HAS BEEN HELL!"
Kyuubi released a powerful roar that made Naruto release all the anger and hatred he backed up in his rant. A claw made of red chakra shot out from the cage and engulfed him in a tight grip. He was yanked out of the ankle-deep water and brought face-to-face with the all-powerful creature sealed inside him.
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BLAME ME FOR THE LIFE YOU HAVE STUPID HUMAN. I DIDN'T ASK TO BE SEALED INSIDE YOU. I ALSO DIDN'T ATTACK THE VILLAGE WITHOUT PROVOCATION. I WAS YANKED OUT OF MY PREVIOUS JAILOR WHEN YOU WERE BORN AND SOMEONE CONTROLLED ME TO ATTACK YOUR VILLAGE." With that, he threw Naruto down back to the sewer floor causing a large splash of water upon impact. Naruto was dazed but, luckily, was still conscious even in his mind.
"ALSO, DON'T BLAME ME FOR THE YONDAIME'S ACTION. I DIDN'T ASK HIM TO SEAL ME INSIDE YOU. HE DID IT ON HIS OWN FOR THE REASON I DON'T KNOW ABOUT. SO BEFORE YOU YELL AT ME FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE, KNOW THE FACTS FIRST KIT BEFORE I RAM IT DOWN YOUR THROAT." ranted Kyuubi.
Naruto was shaken. It's not everyday to be on the receiving end from a powerful rant from one of the most powerful creature in the Elemental Nation. However, the rant from Kyuubi made him realize that the bijuu was right. It wasn't his fault that he was sealed inside his body. After all, who would be stupid enough to be imprisoned anyway?
Shaking his head to clear away his thoughts, Naruto approached the cage with his head bowed. "I'm sorry." he mumbled to the creature.
"WHAT?" shouted Kyuubi.
"I'M SORRY OK? I'M SORRY FOR RANTING AT YOU. I WAS ANGRY." shouted Naruto. Kyuubi gave the kid a glare and huffed.
"Fine. Just don't do it again. Are you calmed down now for us to talk or do you still want to rant and rave?" asked Kyuubi sarcastically.
Naruto took a deep breath to calm him down. "Yeah I'm good. So what do you want to talk about?" Kyuubi was surprised at this. In front of him was a kid that is well known to have temper issues but calming down after just a few seconds was definitely a miracle. Deciding to press his luck, he talked to the kid.
"I'm here to answer your questions. I'm sure that you have dozens of them considering what happened yesterday so why don't you start and I'll answer the best I can." said Kyuubi.
"Why? Why are you being nice to me?" blurted Naruto.
"Why you ask? Simple, I have no choice. To tell you the truth kit, I don't like you and you definitely don't like me. But what would you have me do? I'm imprisoned inside you for life. The seal was made by the Shinigami himself that tied our souls together. If I escape, we both die. If you die, I die. So instead of bitching about it, I'm willing to work with you to make my life more bearable in this stinking prison."
"Well, I guess that answers that. You mentioned you have a previous jailor aside from me. Who was it?" asked a curious Naruto.
"My jailor before you was your mother, Uzumaki Kushina." replied Kyuubi.
"WHAT? MY MOTHER WAS YOUR JAILOR?" shouted Naruto.
"Calm down kit. You're giving me a migraine. Yes. Your mother was my jailor. Nice lady too. She and I got along well together. When she was pregnant with you, a major part of her chakra system and body functions was diverted to sustaining you so the seal that held me in her body was weakening. But with the efforts of your father, the Yondaime, they were able to hold me inside while you were being pushed out." He paused checking if the kid was listening. Seeing that he got his attention, he continued. "Anyway, after you were born, they were about to reinforce the seal when a man came out of nowhere and attacked your mother which eventually released me from the seal. I was teleported outside of Konoha borders where the man suddenly appeared and took control of me."
"Do you know who the man was?" asked Naruto in a tight voice, wanting to know the one who killed his family and caused all his problems.
"Oh I remember him alright." said an angry Kyuubi. "He was the same man who controlled me to do battle with Hashirama Senju in a place what you guys now call the Valley of the End. His name was Uchiha Madara."
"What? He supposed to be dead?" asked a disbelieving Naruto. He read some book son his spare time when he was allowed in the library so he was a bit familiar with Konoha's history and founding.
"Oh he's alive alright. I don't know how but he is definitely alive. He survived the battle with the Shodaime and he is definitely alive when he attacked your mother and took control of me for the second time. I'm guessing that he is still alive right now but as to where he is I don't have a clue."
"I see. So what now?" asked Naruto, dropping the subject for later. He has more important things to worry about that history.
"Well, how about we talk about what happened back in the alley when you were attacked. I'm sure you have questions." Naruto nodded.
"Yes. What happened back there? What were those ball thingies that appeared around me? It was amazing. I didn't know I have something like that." said Naruto in an amazed voice. Kyuubi chuckled.
"Yes kit. It was definitely amazing. You see, what happened to you back there was a combination of both your mother's bloodline and my interference." This shocked Naruto. He has a bloodline?
"My mother has a bloodline?"
"Oh yes. But your mother's bloodline was in a passive form. You see, her bloodline was called Chakra manipulation. In her case, she can use her chakra to form chains that can easily disable anything, even me. That is one of the reasons why she was chosen to be my jailor in the first place. Now it would be safe to say that you already have her bloodline of Chakra Manipulation."
"What is Chakra Manipulation. Is it a way of using chakra for a lot of things?"
"You are partially correct. You see, shinobis have the ability to use chakra for jutsu. There are also some who utilize their chakra for small things, like the Hyuuga clan who uses chakra on the tip of their fingers like a needle to close the tenketsus of their opponents. Those are minor things compared to what you can do. In your case, you got the full ability of your bloodline unlike your mother. In your case, you have full Chakra Manipulation, you can do anything with it. You can make it into weapons, you can use it to move objects, you can even protect yourself with it by forming a dense shield. With this ability, you can use your imagination to use chakra in anything you wish." said Kyuubi.
Naruto was now amazed with everything that Kyuubi said. He has a bloodline. But not just any bloodline, it is an amazing bloodline. He can use his chakra to do anything he wanted. However, something wasn't right. He voiced out his concerns.
"But what I did back in the alley is definitely not Chakra Manipulation, is it? I mean, it was different from what you described regarding my mother's bloodline." questioned Naruto. Kyuubi nodded.
"You're very perceptive kit. You see, I tweaked your bloodline a bit to suit my purpose. I don't want to have a weak jailor. Ever since I saw you getting beaten up, it took me a few years to change your DNA so that I can also change your latent ability. What you have now is quite different from your mother's bloodline, but also similar in a way. What I did was give you full Chakra and Elemental Control as well as granting you an ultimate defense, so to speak."
"Huh? What?" asked a dumbfounded Naruto. Kyuubi just sighed.
"This might take a while. Let me see. I changed your bloodline a bit using my chakra. Instead of just manipulating chakra, I changed it so that you can use your chakra to allow you to manipulate the elements as well. For example, you can manipulate your chakra to allow you to create a shield of water or a sword of wind. It's all up to you on what you want to do with it. It takes practice, sure, but I'm sure that you can do it the way you want it to. That is also one of the reasons why you have a large chakra supply. This ability requires a shitload of chakra to work so I also boosted your natural chakra supply to at least Kage so you won't drop from exhaustion from using it."
"Whoah that is so COOL!" shouted Naruto, excited over the prospect of practicing his bloodline ability. "Uhhh, you mentioned something about ultimate defense. What is that?"
"Oh, you caught that did you?" Seeing Naruto nod, he continued. "Did you notice those small orbs that were floating around you back in the alley?"
"Yep. I was freaked out a bit at first but now that I think about it, there were cool."
"Well, those orbs are also a result of the changes I made to your bloodline. These orbs are Elemental Orbs that is an automatic defense connected to your instinct. If you feel an attack coming or your instinct picks something up then it will react accordingly to protect you. If you noticed, you can also control it to attack. To explain it easily, it is a sub-conscious defense but requires your focus and will to attack." explained Kyuubi.
"Hmmm so how do I activate it then?" asked Naruto, excited to gain control of this ability as soon as possible. Seeing Naruto's excitement, Kyuubi sighed again.
"Simple kit. Just channel chakra to your eyes to active your bloodline. Like the Sharingan and Byakugan, the eyes act as a switch for the bloodline to work. To turn it on, just continuously channel your chakra to your eyes and if you want to turn it off then just cut the chakra flow."
"That's easy. I can do that." He paused for a bit then looked at Kyuubi with a sheepish expression on his face. "Ummm…how do I channel chakra?"
Kyuubi sweatdropped. This is going to take a while.
