[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
------------------------------------------------------The Binding---------------------------------------------------
'Si lence nothing but the sound of water dripping into the massive pool that’s collected already. The cage with a seal holding the door closed. Those blazing Red eyes staring murderously at me through the bars. I know you want out, but I wont let you out. I would kill myself before I let that happen.' Naruto thought as he slowly stepped forward, towards the cage. Then as he moved nearer to the cage a voice spoke out from the darkness.
“But that’s not true Naruto, and you know it. You have released me on many occasions and will continue to do so on many more. Yet I grow tired of only being freed at your beck and call!!! You who have housed my being for so many years, it is time for me to be released from your pitiful shell so that I can send you to an eternal hell for what your father did to me!!!!” The Kyubi snarled and struck the cage with the same amount of force it had so many years ago, when it had first met Naruto. But this time Naruto stood firm and did not waver in the face of the beast.
“WHAT!!! What are you talking about you stupid fox, what do you mean "what my father did to you". I don’t even know who he is!!” Naruto shouted turning to look directly at the smiling demon fox. His bewilderment clearly showing on his face. 'My father?? I don't even know who he is, so why would this stupid fox try to extract revenge on him through me??'
“You fool. I find it ironic that The Yodamine decided to seal me into you knowing full well, the burden he was placing on your shoulders. It truly is a coincidence that by doing so he gave his own life and in turn left you to suffer for his choice. YOU his son, the one who houses the blood of the UZUMAKI." The Kyubi sneered and spoke with such sarcasm that Naruto could have sworn it was taunting him.
“WHAT! What do you mean my father. You can’t mean that the fourth was.." Naruto began, however the Kyubi cut him off.
“Correct. And now it is time I destroy his legacy and Konoha along with it." the Kyubi snarled as it slammed the cage door once again.. Naruto could hear the seal weaken as the fox slammed into the door again and again.
“You stupid fox! What makes you think I would just sit by and allow you to do that!! I would rather die before turning my body over to the likes of you!!! Naruto called out, readying himself for what he knew was to come.
"Then you shall die and from your corpse I shall burst and consume the blood that flows within your veins. With your death my release is secured!!!!" The Kyubi snarled as it drove its full weight again and again into the door. Finally Naruto heard a clear *snap* as the seal craxcked, and part of it broke away. Hearing it the Kyubi smiled even wider, showing its full set of teeth, as it continued to berate the door. Hearing the seal *snap* again Naruto took off towards the side of the room, and placed a new seal on the door leading out. The Kyubi seeing Naruto flee let out a vicious cry and lunged a final time at the door to it's cage, and the weakened seal finally shattered. Free of its cage the Kyubi bounded after Naruto. Fangs and claws bared. It was now free...free to consume or kill Naruto.
"Even if you run your death is inevitable!!" The Kyubi cried as it rushed towards Naruto who stood firmly by the door leading out to the rest of his mind.
"That may be true, but I have been prepared for this for many months now fox. With this battle I will either walk away victorious or be destroyed." Naruto replied caamly. All the rage left him and he began to settle into his fighting rythm. 'If you taught me anything right Jiraiya. It was how o control my emotions and to think tactifully. Thank you.' Nartuo thought as he watched as the approaching Kyubi as it raced towards him at an icredible speed. Thinking quickly Naruto assesed the situation. 'The Kyubi is now moving to fast to be able to stop. If I move it will not be able to follow or change its course.' Deciding to fight the Kyubi from a safer location Naruto turned and raced to the left. The Kyubi which as Naruto had caculated had built up too much momentum, tried to turn. Its claws scraped the wet ground as it hurtled straight into the wall where Naruto had been standing. Shaking itself the Kyubi looked around and spotting Naruto on the far side of its imprisoning room, began to slink cautiously towards Naruto. Looking ahead Naruto saw the Kyubi moving slower and more cautiously towards him. 'Oh well. No nijutsu ever works twice unless you change the tactic with which you use it' Naruto though, as the Kybui continued it slowed pace towards him.
Meanwhile----------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Naruto!!! Calm down!! Damnit Naruto get a hold of your self! Damnit this is bad! Another tail is manifesting I have to contain it some how!! No Naruto you must fight it do not let the anger and rage control you. You are a shinobi now prove your strength!” Jiraiya shouted as Naruto began to shake. Then suddenly Naruto's eyes snapped open and started to flash crimson. Sitting just outside of Konoha Jiraiya and Naruto had pitched camp in a forest twelve miles outside the gates that led into Konoha. 'Naruto said he would be able to fight it off and win this time.' Thought Jiraiya as he tried to calm down the young man who lay before him. Naruto now seventeen, had been with Jiraiya training for two years. Over the time he had managed to master many ninjutsu, as well as some higher level taijutsu. Looking down Jiraiya saw Narutos pupils start to lengthen out. His eyes began to change and revert faster as though they were pulsing.
Sensing the change coming, Jiraiya shouted to Naruto. "What was all that training for if you can't utilize it. COMMON NARUTO YOU CAN DO IT!!"
“RAAAWWWROOR!!!!” Naruto howled as he began to transform. His eyes turned a glowing crimson red, his pupils elongated, his teeth changed to fangs, as the ninth and final tail burst forth from Naruto's body.
“Naruto!!! Fight it! You can do it!! Banish it back into the cage make it submit to your will!” Jiraiya cried out while he began to perform his suppression jutsu.
But even as Jiraiya shouted the encouraging words he knew it was no use. The beast in Naruto was surfacing at an accelerated rate, already all nine of its nine tails had formed. As Jiraiya tried to contain the Kyubi that Naruto was becoming, it lunged and slashed with its clawed fingers. letting out a startled shout Jiraiya tried to intercept the hit but failed. Looking down at the wound Jiraiya noted the fact that it ran deep. He could see it was a deep gash that exposed the bones of some of his ribs. Panting, Jiraiya formed sign after sign muttering jutsu after jutsu under his breath, trying feverishly to contain the Kyubi inside of Naruto.
"Argh!!!! Damnit Naruto get a hold of yourself!!! NARUTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He screamed into the night air, as he continued his failing efforts to keep Naruto's demonic side in check.
----------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------< br>
'The fighting… its endless I’ve lost track of how long I have been battling it, and I have all but run out of chakra. Dammed stupid fox!!! You will submit to my will!! I will not have you harming anyone ever again.' Naruto thought as stared down the fierce Kyubi with a determined face. "This is my body! I won't let you have it!!" Naruto cried out as he began to gather chakra into his hand. Swirling it and causing it to spin he shaped the chakra into a spinning orb.
Then Naruto dashed forward sprinting as fast as he could shouting. "RESENGAN!!"
Naruto struck the Kyubi dead on, but the Resengan had little affect. The Kyubi howled in outrage as he swatted at Naruto with his tails. Naruto dove to the left as one of the Kyubi's tails swiped at him. Landing hard Naruto rolled to avoid a fatal slash from the Kyubi's clawed paws.
" I grow weary of these games Kit, but if you wish to continue I will pleasure you by allowing you some small hope for victory. But know this boy, there is no victory for you here today." The Kybui said with a sneer.
"Fat chance you stupid fox. I will beat you today. Even if it costs me my life." Naruto shouted back defiantly. But even as he said it he knew he was lying to himself. 'But he's right. I don't have enough chakra to create the wind resengan and I don't have enough chakra to even re-seal the stupid beast. Its hopeless. And yet I refuse to give into to that fact. If worst comes o worse there are always "those techniques" but I would really not have this fight end in a draw. Beside as long as I believe I can beat him then my will, will remail stronger.' 'Common Naruto think. think. What was Jiraiya trying to teach me about my own chakra. I know that I’m missing something obvious, but what is it.' Naruto thought as he dove to the left and then the right in order to avoid two sweeping strikes from the Kyubi. Landing a few feet from the Kyubi Naruto, suddenly realized what it was he was missing.
'That’s it!' Naruto though as he rolled to the left narrowly missing getting hit by the Kyubi’s clawed paw.
Turning Naruto started to summon the last of his chakra. 'This had better work or I'm dead,' he thought as he continued to draw forth as much chakra as he could from his drained body. Then as he drew forth the last amount of chakra from within himself Naruto turned and rushed towards the Kyubi holding the blazing blue chakra in one hand.
"Foolish boy you think that hitting me with chakra will save you." The Kyubi sneered as it watched Naruto dart to the left and then right avoiding another sweep of its tails. As Naruto neared the Kyubi his adrenaline boosted senses started to dim, he began to become aware of the pain he felt. He also became aware of the tiredness of his own battered body. 'No don't give in now. I have to hold on just a little longer.' Naruto thought as he dashed closer and closer to the Kyubi. Finally Naruto reached a distance close enough to strike.
"HEY FOX READY FOR YOUR MEDICINE!!" Naruto cried out as he leapt high in the air and slammed his burning chakra filled hand into the Kyubi. Naruto felt his own chakra enter the Kyubi just as one of the Kyubi's tails swept up and met him.
"Ugggh!" Naruto coughed as he felt the air rush from his lungs, as the impact of the tail hit him. It sent him flying across the room to where he crashed into the wall. With a thud Naruto fell to the ground and laid there wheezing.
"Uggggggh." Naruto groaned as he tried to once again get back up and stand oh is own. But his knees gave out and he collapsed to the floor. Laying on his stomach Naruto could almost feel the certainty of his own death coming. He turned his head and spat out a motuhfull of blood. 'This is the end. I saved enough chakra for the "Final Choice jutsu", but I really thought this would work. I bet everything I had on this one last gamble, but it seems my luck at gambling doesn't last forever.' Naruto thought as he smiled weakly. Then closing his eyes Naruto prepared to concentrate the last of his chakra for his final strike.
“Foolish boy you have all but given me the power to destroy you now!!!" The Kyubi howled as it went to lunge for Naruto. But as it rushed towards Naruto something odd happened. The Kyubi felt all the power being drained from within itself. Stopping short of where Naruto lay the Kyubi fell to the ground with a tremendous thud. Laying there Naruto began to hope. 'Did it work after all??' Naruto thought as he lay on his stomach. Lifting his head the tiniest bit Naruto looked towards where the Kyubi was now laying, mere feet from himself.
"What is this?? Why can't I move. Your chakra, what did you do to it?? You retched boy I will not fall to the likes of you!" The Kyubi screamed as it tried to get back up. Failing to do so, it remained laying on the ground in the puddles of water panting and gasping as it felt its strength slowly being sucked away.
“You stupid fox. It is you who has given me the power to destroy you. I learned little by little that my chakra is stronger than yours. Jiraiya said it protects me from the poisonous nature of your own chakra, and will purify you tainted chakra turning it into my own. You will lose the ability to use your chakra and will fall into a deep sleep, and that is where you shall remain forever. However you will not die but house my chakra as part of your own. YOU WILL SUBMIT!” Naruto laughed as he lay on the cold damp floor of the room. 'So it seems that it did work. Thanks Jiraiya, your lessons helped a lot.' Naruto though as he tried to edge closer to the Kyubi.
“WHAT!!! How dare you taint me with your vile chakra! I WILL NOT BE DENIED MY VENGANCE!!!!!” The Kyubi cried out and snapped at Naruto who was edging closer with every second. Then when Naruto had edged close enough to reach out and touch the Kyubi’s chest, he lifted his arm and with the last of his remaining strength he reached out and touched the Kyubi. Suddenly Naruto could feel a warm sensation as he felt chakra rush into his body. Soon he was overflowing with chakra. Standing up Naruto walked closer to the Kyubi who was now breathing lightly, the faintest twitch coming from its tail every now and then.
“NOOO I REFUSE…to…submit…” The Kyubi whispered as it felt its eyes slowly glaze over and then shut.
And with that the battle was over and as he stood there panting Naruto only thought... 'Stupid fox.'
Then turning Naruto unsealed the door leading to the rest of his mind. Opened the door Naruto sighed as he stepped forward , out of the door, and into his new life.
'Si lence nothing but the sound of water dripping into the massive pool that’s collected already. The cage with a seal holding the door closed. Those blazing Red eyes staring murderously at me through the bars. I know you want out, but I wont let you out. I would kill myself before I let that happen.'
