“Kyuubi speak”

“Everyone else speak”

On with the story

 

It was a happy day in Konoha. Today was the eight anniversary of the defeat of the nine-tailed fox Kyuubi. Eight years ago on this day the fourth hokage sacrificed himself to destroy the nine-tailed fox which rampaged through the village. Today was a day of remembrance and celebration. Through out the night sky fireworks could be seen and heard. Parades and parties were held throughout the village. It was a happy day for everyone, accept for one person.

 

In one of the many allies of Konoha a one figure hid in the shadow of a dumpster. He was very small for his age. Today he turned eight years old, but he didn't look a day over five years old. The figure wore a tattered and dirty bright orange jumpsuit. It wasn't so bright because of all the dirt on it. The child was small and had barely any meat on his bones. He sat behind a dumpster curled up into a ball, silently sobbing to himself. The person's name was Naruto Uzumaki. Known by the adults as the demon child.

 

Some people could be heard talking as they passed the alley.

 

“The demon wasn't as its house.” One of the figures said.

 

“It must have wised up this year. No matter, we will find it soon enough, and when we do I swear I'll finish it of this time.” Another figure said with malice in his voice.

 

Yells of approval were heard before the people's voices and footsteps shrunk into the distance.

 

Naruto knew they were talking about him. Every year since he could remember, some of the villagers would form a mob and hunt him down. If they caught him, they with beat him half to death. The only reason he still lived was because of his unusual ability to heal. And this year was no different. Naruto knew what would happen it they found him, so he hid. Naruto cried silently to him self and whimpered.

 

“Why, what did I do for them to hate me so much? Why do they treat me this way?”

 

“It is because of me.” a voice said.

 

Naruto stiffened, if someone was talking to him that meant that they found him. Naruto hunched over and put his hands over his head to protect himself. He waited for the pain that never came. After a few moments he lifted his head. He couldn't see anyone in the alley with him.

 

“Don't worry Naruto, I won't hurt you.” the voice said again.

 

Naruto looked around again.

 

“Where are you?” He thought.

 

“Let me show you”

 

All of a sudden Naruto's world went black. When Naruto came to he imeadiatly shot up of the ground ready to run. He looked around and realized he wasn't in the alley anymore. He was in some type of sewer. There was water on the ground but his feet were not wet. There were pipes running along a wall. With his eyes he followed where the pipes lead and he notices the huge cage just to the side of him. It was enormous. He gaped at it. It must have been 100 feet tall. He looked inside the cage but all he could see was darkness. But then he saw something moving insde the cage.

 

The figure came closer to the cage. And as it got closer Naruto could make out what it was. It was a giant fox with dark red fur. Its eyes were slitted and red. It had nine long tailes swinging bihind it as it moved. The fox was about 50 feet tall and towered over Naruto. But Naruto couldn't feel any killer intent radiating from the fox. He didn't think the fox would hurt him. He felt safe. The fox made its way to the cage and sat down. It just stared at Naruto for a minute. Naruto was surprised to see the giant fox criing. It's tears streamded down its muzzle. It brought one of its tailes up and whiped the tears from its face. Once it was done it finally spoke.

 

“Hello Naruto, I'm so glad I finally get to speak with you.” it siad.

 

“Who, what are you?” Naruto asked couriosly.

 

“I am the nine-tailled fox Kyuubi.”

 

“But I thought the fourth destoyed you. How can you be still be alive?”

 

“Naruto, demons are to powerful to kill, so the fourth sealed me into a baby. That baby was you.”

 

Kyuubi paused to let Naruto think about what it siad.

 

Naruto's face showed his shock, but it soon turned into anger. He pointed his finger at the Kyuubi.

 

“You're the reason why the village hates. It's all your fault. There anger isn't directed towards me but at you.”Naruto said with hate in every word.

 

To Naruto's surprise the giant fox started to cry again.

 

“I'm so sorry Naruto. I never ment for this to happen to you. But you must understand that this is not my falt. Or atleast not totally my fault.

 

Naruto was surprised to see the so called heartless demon cry so he decided to listen.

 

“Yes the village hurts you because they think you are me but that is not my fault. They are stupid and can't see the difference between a prisoner and jailer. They chose to hate you, to hurt you, and look down on you. I didn't make them do anything.”

 

Naruto was thinking about what the fox said. And he had to admit they it had a point. The people did those things to him not the fox.

 

“I can't see how they are able to do this to there on kind. Your kind, humans hate us demons. You say that we are monsters that we are evil and can't be trusted. But they only say that because we are enemies. Anyone would say bad things about there enemies. Tell me Naruto, have you ever seen a demon beat its child.

 

Naruto shook his head.

 

“Have you ever seen a demon hunt down its own children?”

 

Naruto shook his head again.

 

“What do you know about demons, that hasn't been told to you by your prejudice village.”

 

Naruto thought about it and then said “Nothing”.

 

“I've watched you your whole life Naruto. I know that one of the things you hate the most if people who judge a person before they get to know them. Tell me how can you hate that type of person if you're the same way. You have judged me on the preceptions of others and not your own. You think I am evil but you know nothing about be.”

 

Naruto was speechless. He realized that the fox was right again. He judged the fox before he knew anything about it. How can he hope for someone to aknoledge him for who he is if he can't do it himself. Coming to the realization of what he did, Naruto ran through the cage bars hugged the kyuubi's paw and started to cry.

 

“I'm sorry Kyuubi. You are right. I shouldn't judge you by what other people think, but what I think of you. And I don't think your are evil. You have never done anything to hurt me. That's more than I can say for the villager. If you will let me I hope we can be friends.”
