“Blah” normal
‘Blah’ thought

Back in Konoha, the shockwave rippled through the village. It was like a gust of summer-wind in the dead of winter. Everyone felt it, and all were afraid. The shinobi felt within the wave a chakra that had not been felt for twelve years, while the villagers had a sense of foreboding that washed over them. And only those closest to Naruto felt the purer chakra, the human part, which was mixed in with the demon energy.

Whatever their case, all of Konoha was afraid. The older generation ran through the streets screaming that the demon was back to finish what it had started. Naruto’s friends, the ones that had accepted him were worried that something bad had happened. Those that did not know about the Kyuubi because of the inhuman chakra that the boys was mixed with, and those that did know because they thought that someone had killed the boy to free the Kyuubi. And all were frightened because there was no one there to seal it this time. Come to think of it, the demon would probable be even more enraged at the village for sealing it in the first place.

All of them were right in a way. The Kyuubi was free, just not in the way that they thought. Tsunade was worried about Naruto, whom she considered to be her little brother. As soon as she felt her ototo’s chakra she summoned the ANBU Captain; “Take as many available nin as you can. I want Naruto found! The Kyuubi’s chakra was mixed in with his so I want you to take the Rookie Nine, just in case Kyuubi took over. Naruto may be able to stop him if he sees them.” ((Remember, no one but Naruto really knows Kyuubi’s gender. So Konoha thinks that the demon is male))

When the ANBU didn’t move Tsunade slammed her fist into her desk, splitting it in two; “What are you waiting for? GET GOING!!!” she yelled in his face.

The ANBU Captain made a quick exit to avoid the angry Hokage while thinking; ‘That woman is almost as scary as the Kyuubi.’ With that last thought he left to gather the Rookie Nine and their senseis.

Thirty miles ((approximately sixty Km)) from the clearing caused by the fusion, Sasuke and his ‘team’ were jumping through the trees heading towards Otogakure. Sasuke was about to jump for the next branch when the shockwave blasted past him. His eyes darkened as he felt the Dobe’s chakra mixed in with the wave. ‘I thought I killed him.’ His eyes darkened even more as he felt the second chakra. He hated the thought of Naruto having anything to do with anything even remotely powerful. But this… he absolutely loathed this. The power in that wave was immense, it would have made both his brother and Orochimaru quake in mortal fear. He would not let that dobe have anything to do with that power, dead or alive.

Just then, the female ninja, whose name was Nelli, spoke; “Sasuke-sama, a few moments before that chakra hit us, I saw what looked like a pillar of light back that way.” The girl nodded in the direction that they had come from. “Should we check it out?”

Sasuke scowled angrily as he dashed off towards where he had left the dobe’s body.

Back in the clearing, the lights were just receding as a nine-tailed figure stepped out of the dust. It looked quite like Naruto, and yet not like him at all. The boy had memories that stretched back thousands of thousands of years. His nine tails swished lazily behind him. “Hmmmm….” He rumbled. His voice was similar to Naruto’s, except that it a little deeper and it had a rumbling, growling undertone to it. “I will need a new name. One that describes who I am now and not who I was.” His blue eyes unfocused for a moment before quickly sharpening.

His eyes were a deep blue, as deep as the ocean. His pupils were slitted like a cat’s. They were a true demon’s eyes. They looked exactly like Kyuubi’s did, except for the blue color that came from Naruto.

The whisker marks on his cheeks had gotten longer, darker, and deeper. His hands, if they could still be called that, no longer had soft human nails at the fingertips. They were as hard as diamonds and could be as sharp as a mid-winter’s gale, or as dull as a human’s. They could be extended as he wished, leaving them short, so that they were even with his fingertips, or an inch and a half long, as well as any length in between.

He had nine reddish orange tails that constantly moved behind him, as if they held a life of their own. His hair was also that same fiery color. His ears weren’t human; they were those of a fox. From the top of his head rose two furry fox ears. They were the same red color as the rest of his head, except for the tips, which were black. ((Same position as InuYasha’s ears if I didn’t describe it well enough)) He was the same height as Naruto had been, that would most likely never change. His muscles had become denser, gaining no mass, but becoming infinitely stronger. He was lighter too. Where once he had weighed 88 lbs((ca 40 Kg)), he now weighed half that. The combination of these things made him much faster.

He found himself looking at his claws with interest. Never again would he be left without a weapon. The same went for his tails. “My name, for now, will be Kit Bikyuu ((Eternal Kitsune)).” He said with finality. A Kit was a small fox; he was still young, even by human standards. Bikyuu because it was Kyuubi backwards ((not English, Japanese)) and he would most likely live longer than a normal human. He might not be Kyuubi exactly, but his enemies should fear and respect him as if he was. In fact, he was basically the child of Kyuubi and Naruto, and was stronger than Kyuubi had been, even if it was just by a little.

He could also use more jutsu than the old Kyuubi because of the old Naruto, or he would once he learned how to use his chakra again. He knew all of their jutsu, and was not limited by one set of seals. He could both theHuman and Demon Seals. As it was, he could only use one thing, and that was just because it was like a Bloodline Limit, but it was not a human Limit, it was far too strong to be a human’s.

It was far stronger than any known to man. Onimetsuki ((Demon Eyes)) is what it was called, and it allowed him the use of all other optical limits. It also allowed him to copy other Bloodline Limits. For instance he could use Haku’s ice mirrors because he had seen them, and they had been used against him. One really good thing about his Demon Limit was that all other Limits were negated by his, regardless of whether he had seen them or not. The Byakugan would see nothing but his physical form. It wouldn’t see his tenketsus or chakra. The Sharingan would not be able to copy his jutsus. ((Thank Kami. Imagine if Uchiha got a hold of his high level human jutsus. No demon ones though. Only Demons and Hanyous can use those. Not to mention that if a human tried he would be killed from chakra depletion.)) Kit on the other hand, could use both the Byakugan and Sharingan, at the same time if he wished.

When he used Onimetsuki it did not look like any other optical jutsu. When he used it his eyes would turn blood red, like Kyuubi’s, while his slitted pupils would obtain a golden lining. In the center of the pupil would be a small dot of blue, like a sapphire in the night sky, held in place by nine blue-green threads. The dot and threads that connected it to the iris would always be near invisible, only revealed upon close inspection, but the red and gold were easily seen. One added, and very useful, aspect of the Onimetsuki was its ability to ‘hide’ things. The object that he wanted to hide would be completely erased from the minds of all, making it invisible. It would still be there, someone could trip over a hidden object and still not see it.

For instance, he could hide his tails, and while people’s eyes would see them, their minds would not. Because their eyes could see it, this effect could not be canceled by anyone except the one who cast it. How else did you think that demons kept their treasure vaults secret? Anyway, he could use his tails in battle ((any time really)) and no one would know. They would think that he was using a jutsu of some sort. This effect would still be active even if he weren’t using his Dojutsu, unless he chose to reveal what he had hidden. He could hide things without his eyes turning red. That would be extremely useful if he were surrounded and needed to get some one of thing out without revealing his Dojutsu. At that moment he hid his tails. ‘Wouldn’t be too good if any one found out about them back in Konoha.’

He sniffed the air and raised an eyebrow. All of his senses had been heightened to demon level as well. Everything was clearer and sharper, he could see farther as well. He could hear everything as well as feel it, hell; he could even taste things in the air. His sense of smell was better than Akamaru’s was. ((Akamaru is Kiba’s dog)) Somehow he knew that he could control his senses, dulling whichever one he wanted to human level, which he promptly did to most of them. He would leave them that way until he was ready to learn how to use and get used to them.

He could smell a team from Konoha approaching. That was all he could tell from his first whiff, they were still too far away. He took another one to see who was coming. It was the Rookie Nine and their teachers. Well most of them anyway, no one from Team 7 was there. He decided to leave before they found him. Even if they wouldn’t recognize him, there was still a chance one of them would, especially among the adults. There would also be an interrogation if they caught him there, and he was not ready to face Ibiki, that man still scared him a little. Besides, he planned to one-day return to Konoha, and he did not want any one to remember that he had been there that day. When he returned he would judge them to see if they had changed or not, then he would decide if they deserved to live or not.

Without a second thought he dashed off to the east and Sunagakure, the Village Hidden in Sand, using his new speed, quickly leaving the clearing behind. He would learn many new jutsu before he returned.

If he had waited a few more seconds the Rookies would have caught him. His senses were still new to him so he had misjudged their distance. As it was he had just left as the first one stepped into the clearing. He had also missed the other team completely, the team that would change his life forever. But all of them had seen him, however briefly.

Two minuets before, the Nine had been rushing toward where they had all seen the pillar of light rise. Gai-sensei was yelling something about the Power of Youth, while Hinata was more concerned about Naruto. She knew that his team had come this way on their mission before they returned. They had returned without him. Gai, sensing her thoughts tried to distract her. “Are you sure it came from this direction, Hinata?”

The white-eyed girl stuttered; “H-Hai, the light came from this direction.”

Asuma stopped suddenly. The Genin and one Chuunin, Shikamaru had passed the Exam earlier that year, came to a halt behind him, staring at what lay before them. In the middle of the forest was a gap forty meters across from one tree to another in any direction. The ground was perfectly level and as smooth as glass. No plant life grew within the circle. But that was not what caught their attention. Standing in the exact middle of the clearing was a boy with fiery red hair, besides that he looked like Naruto did, at least from a distance. He seemed to be in deep thought when he suddenly ran off in the opposite direction at an inhuman speed. Forget the thought of him being Naruto. The dead last could never ever hope to be that fast.

Kiba walked over to where the boy had been standing. “Well I guess we found what made that light.” He sniffed the air along with Akamaru, his dog. “Naruto was here. What’s funny is that his sent does not leave here. It just stops right here.” He sniffed the air again. “That boy kind of smelled like Naruto, but there’s something else. I cant tell what.” At that Akamaru barked. Kiba was looking at his dog with a shocked and confused look. “What do you mean he smelled like a Demon Fox? There haven’t been any demons around Konoha since Kyuubi.”

The teachers blanched as they listened to the conversation. Gai spoke with a serious tone ((the worlds coming to an end!)) “We will report this to Tsunade-sama. When we get back, speak of this to no one. You hear me?” All of the genin and the Chunin nodded. “Good. Now let’s head back.” they all dashed back towards Konoha as fast as they could to report what they had found to the Hokage.

Back in the Hokages Office, Tsunade was taking her afternoon nap. How she could take a nap after the shockwave, even I don’t know. The team that had been sent out to find Naruto walked in to find her still sleeping and immediately began arguing over who would wake her up. You would have to be suicidal to want to wake her up. The last person to do it had wound up in the ICU for a month. Even now the poor man was still in the hospital. Fortunately for them, their arguing had woken her up for them. Unfortunately she started yelling at all of them to shut the hell up.

Over the course of the next thirty minuets they told her of what they had found and about the boy in the clearing. At the end Tsunade spoke up; “That is very interesting. I wonder if that boy had anything to do with Naruto’s disappearance. From now wherever you go on a mission ask around to see if anyone has seen a guy that fits that description. You are dismissed.” After they left Tsunade sighed and put her head on the desk. “What happened to you Naruto, where are you?” she questioned the air. “If that red-head hurt you in any way I will personally rip him limb from limb.”

Sasuke and his team had just entered the clearing. Sasuke searched intently for the body but found nothing, no blood, no chakra, nothing. If he had managed to drag himself away there should have been some blood. The dobe was dead, he knew it. There were also signs of a team from Konoha on the ground. They must have taken the body. There is no way the dobe survived that.

That was when the clearing itself caught his attention. It was a perfect circle and smooth as glass, what’s more, Naruto’s body would have been in the center of the clearing. His eyes darkened. The dobe would have been in the middle, what did that mean? He activated his Sharingan and was surprised to see wisps of chakra floating through the air. The chakra was three different colors, two of which he had never seen before. The wisps were blue, red, and purple. He had never seen the last two colors before. ((He wasn’t really paying attention whenever Naruto used Kyuubi’s chakra)) Wait; there was that time in the Valley of the End when Naruto’s chakra had turned red. Could that mean that he was alive? Hell no! He may have had impressive healing abilities, but no one could survive a blow though the heart. So it wasn’t worth thinking about. He had killed the dobe and that was all there was to it. He had injured Kakashi, who was sure to tell Konoha about it. Maybe they would send more nins after him. He would like that. He wanted to test his strength some more. Sadly he didn’t recognize that he was turning into what he hated what he thought his had been. He thought that his brother, Itachi, had massacred his family to test his power, which is exactly what he was doing now to Konoha. ((Sad isn’t it?)) “Let’s go back to Orochimaru-sama. He will be pleased to know that your training is complete, as well as the little bit of extra stuff we did.” He said to his ‘team.’ He and his teammates rushed back towards the Hidden Sound.

In the center of the continent the shinigami’s son had just awakened. He knew whose chakra it was that had freed him. He now owed him a favor. Maybe he would get his father to do something special for him, or he might train him. So many choices. Oh well, for now he would just watch over Naruto. Who knows, the boy may be entertaining to watch.
((This is the last bit of stuff on the shinigami’s son that I will write for a while. He shows up later though))
