Summary: What if, when Minato sealed half of Kurama's chakra away, he also sealed a good portion of his memories? After Kurama is sealed into Naruto, he regresses back into a fox kit, during the time of the Sage and the Biju's meeting. Eventual Naru/Hina.

Kid Kyubi

Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox, was mad. Scratch that, he was furious! For the first time in nearly a century he was finally free from his prison, only to have his mind taken over by that thrice-cursed Sharingan again! Seriously, if he hadn't been controlled a few minutes ago he'd high-tail it out of the village he found himself in, but now he would just destroy it to relieve some built up stress he accumulated over the years. Then, to add the icing on top of the cake, he found himself battling the leader of said village, who also happened to be his last host's mate, and the infuriating blond wasn't going easy on him. It was clear that Minato Namikaze was on a whole different league to the ants he had been swatting aside for the past half-hour. The Fourth Hokage had even summoned the Toad Boss in order to battle him, and was able to redirect his most powerful attack, the Tailed Beast Bomb, like it was nothing! If he was in his right mind and wasn't so ticked off Kurama might have actually been impressed by the human's power.

As Kurama battled the blond human, he thought back onto where it all went wrong in his life. It all started a few years after the Sage of the Six Paths died. After his death, almost no people saw the Biju as sentient creatures, just as beasts and weapons to use as they constantly battled each other in a never ending war. One by one, he and his siblings started to lose faith in humanity, as well as in the prophesy that their 'father' gave them, that a single human would be able to earn their trust and bring peace to the world. Then, close to a century ago everything really went down the crapper. A human, probably the most infuriating human alive, named Madara Uchiha, came to his territory and was able to gain control of his mind using his Sharingan! The tailed beast had never felt so humiliated and violated in his entire life, not even when those accursed Gold and Silver brothers from the Hidden Cloud had tried to take his power (he still got a stomach ache every time he thought of those two).

That a-hole Madara had used him to battle an almost equally infuriating human, Hashirama Senju. The battled was long and fierce, but the First Hokage was eventually victorious, causing the Uchiha to flee. However, before Kurama could fully regain his freedom, the First had used his immense powers to subdue him while the man's wife, an Uzumaki named Mito, had sealed him inside herself, the two of them saying that his power was too great and destructive to be allowed to roam free. Who were they to judge that?! It made it even worse that they were all descended from the same line as the old man, which was like rubbing salt on the wounds. Then, as Mito's life drew to a close years later, Kurama found himself being sealed inside a brat of a little girl. Seriously, any kid that hyper needed to have their heads examined. She was also an Uzumaki named Kushina and she just treated him like he was just a beast that needed to be locked up, oh how that burned him up!

A few years later it looked like he had a chance at freedom. Kushina was to have a child and, due to the seal weakening during childbirth, Kurama did everything he could to escape. Unfortunately the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze happened to be the infant's father and, due to his skills in sealing that his wife had taught him, he was able to keep the seal stable during the birth. Suddenly, a masked man broke into the hidden location the birthing was taken place, killing the ANBU guards and holding the newborn brat hostage. Minato was able to teleport himself and the brat to safety, leaving Kushina alone with the masked man. Suddenly, the Kyubi found himself looking into a Sharingan eye that the man possessed hidden by his mask. Kurama found his control over his own body fading as he was ripped out of his host, and found himself being summoned to attack the Hidden Leaf village.

The fox could see himself attacking the village, slaughtering the annoying ants called shinobi by the hundreds. Suddenly, he found himself in control of his body again, but at this point he was too enraged to care due to the shinobi of the village constantly attacking him. Slowly but surely the Biju found himself being pushed outside of the village. Kurama prepared to fire another Tailed Beast Bomb at the surrounding warriors, but suddenly found that the Boss Toad was being dropped right on top of him! This led to his current predicament. As he prepared to kill the overgrown tadpole, Kurama suddenly felt himself transported a safe distance away from the Leaf village. Before he could react or flee, the Tailed Beast found himself wrapped up in his previous host's chakra chains, unable to move an inch.

Kurama noticed movement beneath him and saw two of the people responsible for his current predicament, that blond idiot and his previous host. Before he could make a move to free himself, he noticed the man performing hand signs when suddenly, he saw the spectral form of the Reaper rise up behind the Fourth and it plunged it's hand into the man. The hand went straight through the human and latched onto the Nine-Tailed Fox. 'Curse you, Fourth Hokage!' Kurama thought as he realized what the ninja had planned. They planned on sealing him away again, and he would be imprisoned again so soon after being free! No, he couldn't allow that! The Kyubi suddenly felt immense pain as half of his chakra was forcibly ripped from his body and into the Reaper's stomach along with the man's soul. He felt himself shrinking as his powers diminished slightly, however he noticed something else was wrong with him. Before Kurama could further dwell on what was wrong with him, he noticed Minato summoned a ceremonial pedestal and placed his newborn son on it.

'Does he mean to seal me away again, in that child?!' Kurama thought. He then noticed the chains binding him started to become slack as Kushina's strength faded and, acting on pure desperation, plunged his large clawed had at the child, thinking that if the baby was destroyed he wouldn't be sealed. To his surprise, the two parents jumped in front of his claw and stopped it with their own bodies before it could reach the baby. "Curse you both!" Kyubi growled out, before he saw Namikaze giving the key to the new seal to a summoned toad before completing another set of hand seals. As he was being drawn into the seal on the infant, he noticed the Reaper swallowing the last few traces of his chakra and Minato's soul.

Shortly after arriving in his new prison, which he noticed looked like a jail mixed with a sewer system, he felt a stabbing pain in his head and noticed his body was still shrinking. To his growing horror, Kurama found it harder and harder to remember certain aspects of his life. It was then he realized when the Reaper sealed away half his chakra, he must have also sealed away a portion of his memories. Before he blacked out Kurama, the Nine Tailed Fox and strongest of the Tailed Beasts, managed to growl out, "C…curse it all!" and then he went into a deep slumber, one he wouldn't wake up from for a few years. What neither Kurama nor the people who sealed him realized was that, by sealing part of his chakra and a portion of his memories away, it caused the Tailed Beast to revert back to his childhood in both mind and body. Only 10 minutes after he blacked out, Kurama had shrunk from his imposing form into a fluffy little fox kit, barely the size of a full grown Inuzuka dog. No one knew it yet, but events from this night would forever change the life of the Biju known as Kurama and the life of his host, a boy named Naruto Uzumaki!

AN: Hey all! So here's another idea I've had, however I'm having trouble continuing it. If anyone would like to help me write this, whether as a beta or whatever, please let me know. My thoughts behind this story is that, while there are many stories with Naruto and Kurama becoming friends earlier than in canon, none of them show Kurama as a kid himself. I thought Kurama's child form from the flashback he had was very, dare I say it, cute. So this story came from my crazy mind, hope you all enjoy! Please Read and Review!
