I don't own naruto or Shaman kin
Chapter 1: Kagerei
"NARUTO! PAY ATTENTION!"
Yelled Iruka as the class laughed at the blondes expense.
"Sorry Iruka sensei." 'Sheesh who the hell cares about how far a kunai will fly if you sharpen it a certain way as long as it flys.' Thought Naruto as he was startled from his conversation with a certain fox.
"Normally I'd say that you should listen after all knowledge is power but this particular knowledge is useless" replied kyuubi.
Naruto sighed as he remembered how he first met the fox…
Flashback
'Why do they all hate me?' thought a six year old Naruto as he sat on the bridge in the park, 'they always tell me that I don't belong here and that I should just die.' He looked out at the water.
'There are a lot of pointy rocks down there, maybe if I jump and kill myself I'll die and find my family on the other side. Iruka sensei says that when you die you get to be with the people that you love.'
With this happy thought Naruto pulled himself up onto the bridges railing but being small even for a six year old it took a while. Soon he was standing on the railing.
'Mama, papa. Here I come.' He thought as he prepared himself to jump.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" The sudden voice startled Naruto as he fell back onto the bridge.
"Ow, my head" Naruto complained as he rubbed his head. "Who said that? Is that you Ji-san."
"HEY, I am only three thousand years old thank you very much. Humph, the nerve of kids these days."
"Who are you, where are you?"
"Kid just think and I can hear you"
'O, are you a Yamanaka like Ino.' Naruto thought as he remembered the loud girl who bragged that her clan could read minds. 'I wish I had cool techniques like that.'
"Kid you can learn techniques that are far, how did you put it? Oh yeah, cooler than that." Replied the voice.
"REALY, WILL YOU SHOW ME!"
"Yes but first I'm going to put you to sleep."
"Why?"
Drip
"Wha..?" Naruto groaned as a drop of water fell on his face. "Is it raining?"
"No kid this is your mind."
"You mean my minds leaking?"
"No, get up and you'll see."
"Wha… Why does my mind look like a sewer." 'A really wet and dirty sewer.'
"Because you're confused kid."
"Who are… WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
Normally this would be considered rude but when the first thing you see when you get up is an eye larger than a full grown Akimichi it's understandable.
"Kid my name is Kagerei, but you may know me as Kyuubi."
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY MIND? THE 4th HOKAGE KILLED YOU!"
"Then why do they call you a demon? It's because I cannot die, because you cannot kill that which is not alive. The 4th Hokage knew this and sealed me into you to stop my rampage."
"But why me? WHY ME DAMMIT!"
"You where the only newborn at the time and I can only be sealed into a newborn, to my knowledge both your parents died during the battle. However having me sealed into you has quite a few perks, like an accelerated healing ability and more importantly I have awoken your dormant abilities."
"What abilities?" Naruto asked still wary of the beast.
"This will be easier if I assume a different form. Hang on." Naruto watched with wide eyes as the Kyuubi shrunk into a large
Short but I think I'll stop here.
If you think that Naruto is acting to mature keep in mind that he has been responsible enough to live by himself.
Review please.
