Tip...Tip...Tip...Ti-

The sound of water dripping was cut off by feet making their way through the knee deep water in a sewer. The owner of the feet looked calmly at the familiar surroundings. Then, their gaze landed on the enormous gates held together by a single piece of paper, or more specifically, upon who was behind them.

A lone, slitted, red eye of massive proportions gazed back from behind them. "Oh... It's you. Uzumaki... Naruto..." It's tone dripping with venom.

The person started walking towards the gates and now stood only a few feet away from them. "Long time no see, kyuubi."

Out of the shadows, from behind the gates, came the visage of the fox. It peered close to the gates and stared down at its jailer. It looked at the blond curiously. Something was different about him. "Why are you here? Do you want my power again? You pathetic worm."

Naruto just stared at it for the longest time as if he was examining something unique.

Kyuubi growled in rage. "You dare ignore me! Yet, you stand like this in front of me where I can easily puncture you with my claws." It raised its clawed hand and pointed it straight at the blond. "Do you wanna die?"

The kyuubi had expected the blond to tense up and back away instantly. But, instead of that, the Uzumaki calmly walked inside the cage as if taking a stroll in a park. He then looked up straight at the fox with a small smile.

"Show me the real you."

Kyuubi glared at the blond. How dare he just barge in and demand anything like that! Nevertheless, stand up to her!

"Show me your true form." Naruto said. "We both know that this isn't your true form. So, do me a favour and get started."

"Why, you..."

"Or a you afraid of showing your hideous form to me."

Kyuubi was beyond angry. Hideous? Her? Deciding to fulfill his last request, she closed her eyes.

Naruto watched as the giant fox suddenly started glowing and shrunk to the size of a fist sized glowing orb. Then, it started taking a humanoid shape. When the light died down, there stood a woman with hair of the darkest shade of red. She was what wet dreams were made of. She looked a little bit older than the blond in front of her. Her eyes, though, were crimson with slits. She was not wearing any form of clothing, thus giving the blond a view of her body.

A small moan escaped from her lips as she stretched. "It's been so long since I've been in my real form." She then looked at the blond. "So, how do I look?" She asked striking a sexy pose.

Naruto, who had been watching all this with a small smile, walked toward her. He stood within arms length of her. With the back of his hand, he touched her cheek.

"Beautiful." He breathed.

Kyuubi watched all this with hidden mirth and curiosity.

"But." Naruto said. "Beauty is only skin deep." He removed his hand from her cheek. "What's inside is all that matters. And what's inside you is a heart devoid of any feeling, any emotion and most of all, any ambition."

Suddenly, he found himself pinned hardly to one of the bars of the cage. An angry kyuubi holding him in a vice like grip by the throat. "Don't forget who you are talking to, pathetic mortal! I am Kurama Yoko. The great demon queen." She snarled.

In spite of his position, Naruto smiled. This angered Kurama even more but it was replaced by a smirk. "Poor Naruto, if I didn't know any better, I would've thought that you're someone else. Not the bratty idiot I know." She craned her neck forward so that her mouth was right next to his ear. "Now give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you." She whispered in his ear.

"If you want out of this seal, then you won't."

Kurama did a double take. She stared at the blond with surprise. "You are freeing me?!" She didn't know where this was going and she didn't like it. This was so unlike the Naruto she knew.

Naruto's smile had only widened. He brought his hand and clasped the vixen' own hand that held his neck.

Kurama suddenly screamed and fell to her knees. Her grip on the blond's neck was no more but he had not let go of her hand.

"Well." Naruto started. "I didn't say that your freedom wouldn't cost you anything." By this point, his body was practically glowing. "In this case, it's your power."

Kurama thrashed around wildly, trying to free herself from his grip, but all was for naught. She could feel her power draining. She was getting weaker.

As the glow subsided, Naruto emerged all the same as before. If only on the exterior. One thing had changed though. His eyes, which were now crimson with slits.

Releasing Kurama, he felt the energy coursing through his body. It was... Addictive.

"Congratulations!" Naruto bellowed with glee. "Kurama Yoko. Queen of all demons and Makai. You, are now, a human." He laughed but it didn't have any mirth or joy. It was hollow.

"I, on the other hand, am now a full fledged demon!" He laughed again. But, this time it was filled with maniacal glee.

Kurama stood up weakly. "How?" She spat. "How did..."

Naruto looked at her with a smile. "How did I take away your power? Or how did I outsmart the oh-so-cunning Kurama Yoko?"

Kurama's face only showed anger.

"Well, it's been a year since our last episode, hasn't it?" He didn't wait for an answer. "Since then, I've indulged in some rather interesting activities." His grinned and his new eyes added to the effect of scaring Kurama. "Traveling with Jiraiya was actually really helpful. Whenever he would leave me be for his research, I would get time for my own research without anyone interrupting. Though, it took a while, it was worth it."

"What are you talking about?" Kurama asked sharply. Her condition had improved and gears were turning in her head.

Naruto's grin widened. "Demonification, my dear."

Kurama's eyed widened.

"Don't appear so shocked. It was you who sent me down this path." Any expression vanished from the blond' face. It was stoic, now.

He moved closer to the naked redhead. Their height at the same level. Only a few inches separated them.

"I should thank you." He whispered. "It is because of your treacherous, manipulative nature that made me realize my shortcoming. It is because of your backstabbing nature that I realized my ambition. It is because of my hatred for you that I achieved this power today."

With swift movement, he pulled the redhead tight into him. One hand snaked behind the small of her back, he used the other to caress her cheek. "Seems like I wasn't able to take all of your power." Demonic eyes stared into demonic ones.

Kurama was enraged. But, a part of her was feeling a new emotion. One she had never felt, whatever the circumstances had been. Fear. She tried to fight off the Uzumaki's hold but her body didn't listen to her. Was this because she was a human now?

"Well." Naruto said as he let go of Kurama and started walking away, out of the gates. He stood in front of the gates and looked at the piece of paper that held the two gates together. "I said I would free you and I'm a man of my word." With that, he it ripped off.

Kurama barely had the time to react before all she saw was white.

Naruto opened his eyes. Coming out of his mindscape, he stared at the now human Kurama, who laid on the cold floor.

He stood up and started discarding his clothes. He picked up simple khaki pants and a black hooded jacket. As he was wearing them, with his back turned away from the redhead, he felt something. "Don't even try." He turned back and caught a delicate feminine hand that was covered in red youki.

Kurama snarled as she jerked her hands away from the blond' grasp. The red glow died down. "You motherfucking bastard!"

Naruto smiled, "Adapting quickly to your new life, I see. The Kurama I know would fall to such a level."

Kurama seethed in anger. She opened her mouth to speak something but her eyes rolled back and she lost consciousness. Before she could fall to the ground, Naruto held her in his arms. Picking her up, he gently set her down on his bed. Seeing that she was nude, he wrapped her under the covers.

With that, he went outside after locking the door on his way out. He wanted to keep a low profile, so he had opted for new clothes. The hood concealed his hair and most of his face. But, a single tear fell from his eye.

It had been a long walk to the village gate. He had decided not to use youki so as to not cause any suspicion amongst the villagers.

"I. D. Please." The chuunin asked.

Naruto halted and turned towards the two chuunin. His face wasn't visible to either of them.

The last thing that the two saw were two crimson eyes that seemed to shine with unholy light, before death took them.

Naruto looked passively at the two dead shinobi. Now, that he was out of the village, he could do as he pleased.

"Eight to go." And with a quick burst of youki, he was gone.
