Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, nor am I making any money off this work. This is non-profit fanfiction. Summary: Naruto and Kyuubi are forced to make a dangerous gamble when they're forced into a corner. Rating for violence and explicit cursing. Chap. 1 - "What's that? BANG! CRAP! It's all over…" "You feel it? It's here. Yes! It's here!" "It seems it's been contained after all. I thought it was just a rumor the lower ranks were spreading. How disturbing that there are humans with that kind of power..." "Who cares? It's here! It's contained, yes, safe now. We kill it, yes." "Not yet." "WHY? Why you deny this? We kill, kill, kill it, yes?" "Yes, we will kill it. But even contained, I'd never consider the greatest youkai safe. The cultists… We'll use them to test its strength." "Yes, maybe they kill it. I wants to kill it, but if they kill it, it can't be killing us first." "Coward. But what did I expect? Make a pact and give them the seals. We'll watch and see how it fairs." "YES! Kill, kill, kill it, yes I will! I go to kill you Kyuubi!" "Leave already." "…" "…Ah…Kyuubi-san…How far you've fallen." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Uzumaki Naruto collapsed on his back, totally exhausted from the day's practice with his sensei, the Toad Sannin Jiraiya. He'd finally mastered a new explosive jutsu, though the exercises of the day had drained him of almost all his chakra. Now that he'd learned it, they could begin working on something new tomorrow. But for now he was content to just lay here in a weary stupor. Idly he watched his breath make faint vapor clouds in the chilly, spring air. "Hey, Naruto! Start the fire would ya?" Jiraiya yelled from his spot on his bedroll. "Yeah, yeah… Old pervert…" Naruto grumbled and dragged himself to his feet to fetch some firewood. A pinecone bounced of the back of his head. "Ow! What the hell was that for?" He snarled. "I heard that, you ungrateful brat!" Jiraiya yelled. "It's the truth, ero-sennin!" The blond boy yelled back, sticking his tongue out. "Stop calling me that!" The perverted hermit in question roared. It was a good thing they weren't in any city, otherwise they might've been arrested for public misconduct (at least until Jiraiya summoned a giant toad on top of any officers dumb enough to chase him.) As it was, their bickering echoed loudly in the cool night air of the ancient pine forest they'd made camp in, with their noise only reaching the ears of the occasional startled deer. Their camping in the middle of nowhere had to do with the long term trip they were on. For the past year and a half, Jiraiya had been training Naruto nonstop in preparation for his eventual fight with Akatsuki. Akatsuki was an organization that's composed of nine S Class missing-nins and it held some of the most dangerous people on the planet within its ranks. For an unknown reason, they had become interested in Naruto some time back and had already tried once to abduct him. Well, not exactly Naruto. They were actually after the thing trapped inside of him. Over fourteen years ago, on the day of Naruto's birth, an enormous nine-tailed fox demon attacked the Hidden Village of the Leaf. The monster outclassed the entire shinobi armed forces and was far too powerful to defeat. Their leader at the time, the Yondaime Hokage, sacrificed his life using an extremely powerful jutsu to seal the demon into a newborn child. Naruto was the lucky winner who received the creature and he spent the next twelve years of his life as an outcast in his own village, hated and seen as the demon itself rather than its living prison. Even crueler, he had no idea why the villagers all hated him until the day he stole a forbidden scroll from the Hokage and a traitor ninja told him the true story. He wasn't destined to be alone forever, though, and soon after he became a genin he found people he coul |
