Here is one of the updates that everyone has been waiting for. Yes for those who are concerned I am alive and well, I have just been busy with work with inspections from corporate and all. Hopefully since it is approaching the slow season for us I will be able to work more on my updates. And since it will be winter, there will be less work that will be needed to be done around the house.

Soaring through the air at incredible speed a bird unlike any other swoops down diving towards the bridge were a fight that would determine the future of this nation. Seeing his future partner in trouble, by some dark creature attacking his soul, the bird whose red and gold feathers would make you think it was covered in flames begins to sing one of its enchanted songs to help push back the evil presence.

Seeing the song having the proper affect on the blond wielder of Excalibur, the phoenix begins another song. Banking his wings hard the magnificent creature heads towards the dome of ice at incredible speed, reaching the height of the song the phoenix becomes incased in a cloak of fire increasing his speed to unheard of levels. With this burst of speed the bird flies by the dome of ice.

BOOM

"What the hell was that," shouts out the blond hearing the loud boom followed by half of the ice mirrors shattering while the others are in state about there.

"That my dear boy is a sonic boom," Excalibur says sending the equivalent of a shit eating grin. "And before you ask me what it is, its were something breaks the sound barrier by going faster than sound. And from I can guess, I think he was at mach two, but that's just a guess."

"The hell," Zabuza says seeing the damaged done to the mirrors, previously thought to be, unbreakable mirrors. "Just what the hell have you been teaching them?"

"Now now Zabuza you know a good shinobi never reveals their secrets," Kakashi replies. "What was that, I know it wasn't any type of jutsu or explosive. Its almost like that time Gai ran by me with all his weights off and three of the gates open, but its nowhere near as destructive as this, hell all Gai did was knock a few people over when he ran by them."

"That was awesome," Naruto shouts out regaining his ability to stand with Excalibur being used as crutch. "I wonder if it possible to create a jutsu that can do that."

"Who cares, get your head back into the fight, Ill remind you later!"

"Right," he says getting it a ready stance facing the masked ninja who was currently on her knees exhausted from the battle and the effects of the sonic boom. "Hey, how come were not affected by that?"

"Remember you have a demon fox with nine tails sealed in you, and in case you forgot I'm a magical sword."

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that."

"Lets do this," shouts out the blond itching to get back into the fight. Only for him to stumble and faint face first onto the unforgiving concrete that made up the bridge.

Scene Break (I know almost nothing about sonic booms, and what I do know I have forgotten. If you know of the effects it has on people than please tell me cause I think that Naruto wants a Jutsu that does what I think a sonic boom does to people."

"Where am I," Naruto sitting up in shallow body of water. "It kinda looks like a sewer."

Making up the passage way, or possibly sewer, were brick walls with pipes up along the ceiling. Standing up the water came up only to slightly above his ankles, the lights few and sparse gave the area a dark feeling. In fact if it wasn't for the fact that he suddenly appeared here he would have thrown out a joke about this place looking like it came out of a cheap horror flick.

Deciding that standing around wasn't going accomplished anything; he begins to walk down the passageway all the while mumbling, "Why, does all the crazy shit always has to happen to me?"

Waking further down the path he continues to scan his surroundings hoping to find anything that would explain where he is and also a way out. Despite how far he walked, the scenery never seemed to change aggravating the blond even further. After what seemed like an eternity to the young ninja, he comes to the end of the passageway, with was an open door leading to what appeared to ridiculously large room.

"Or maybe a chamber would be a better word for a really huge room," Naruto says thinking out loud to help keep his nerves calm. And as the blond said, the chamber, or room, was large enough to house a large portion of the village, maybe even the whole thing. However before our young hero could enter the room he heard an argument taking place.

"I will not let you corrupt this boy," booms out a powerful voice seeming to come from a very large being.

"Shut up Kitsune, you're not in any position to give order being sealed and all," the other voice says laced with a type of evil that sent chills down the boys spine.

"Ha, even with me sealed in here, you think you can control him? She wouldn't have given him Excalibur if she knew that he would fall to your corruptive powers, Juubi."

"You know that he will fall to me; the way the people at his village treat him, even the way that his sensei ignores him will push him towards me. Remember even you, the mighty Kyuubi no Kitsune fell to my powers, and I'm sure that the boy will do the very same."

"This is why I summoned him here when you failed to corrupt him. This will end here and now."

Hearing this Naruto walks into the room trying to find out what the hell was going on. Standing there in front of a massive gate that stretches from wall to wall and ceiling to ceiling was him, or someone that looked a lot like him. There were only a few differences, but they seemed to stand even worse than his jumpsuit in the middle of Snow Country.

Instead of regular human ears that adorned his dead there were sharp pointed ears that looked liked you could actually stab someone with. On top of his wasn't the mop of blond spiky hair that was intimately recognized by, instead his hair looked like it had been washed in blood. Even the whisker marks he was famous for were darker, along with his red silted eyes.

"This is our jailor, and my future body," the Juubi says facing the blond. "I just cant wait to use your body. I would love to make the streets of this village flooded with rivers of blood."

"That's the best you can come up with, if you don't mind me asking it was kind of tacky," the now identified Kyuubi replied hoping to help the blond in any way possible.

Turning towards the fox he noticed that the fox didn't look anything like the pictures that were in the academy, instead it looked like the nine tailed fox that severed Inari one of the principal kami of Shinto. And Naruto had to admit that without the blood red fur and freakish rabbit like ears, the fox actually looked like a nice guy with his golden fur that glowed with power that he could probably never be able to comprehend.

"So you're the nine tailed fox, and who is this guy you called Juubi," Naruto asks the demon and whoever that thing was that was standing in front of the cage containing the fox. "You guys aren't really what I was expecting when I first imagined my meeting with the fox, even though I was hoping that would never happen."

"Hello Naruto, how is it going on the outside, I hope they aren't treating you too badly," the Kyuubi replies in a relaxed matter. "Since you have an idea of who I am already I'll go ahead and explain who this fool is."

"Silence," the Juubi shouts out at the Kyuubi, turning to face Naruto he introduces himself, "I am the Juubi, and at one time I was considered to be unstoppable; until that blasted Rikudou Sennin sealed and broken up my powers."

"How'd he do that," Naruto asks.

"Nobody knows how he did it, that bastard erased everybody's memory of how he did it so my followers couldn't free me. Long before I came around there were the ancients, a group of beings that have been around since the beginning of time. The Kyuubi here is one of them along with what you call the tailed beasts, over the millennium they helped mankind develop and grow. I don't remember how or why, due to it being so long ago, but when I was young I began to lust for power. And it was for a title or anything like that, but it was for power of that of a god.

Studying for nearly my entire life I discovered a way for me to achieve my goal, and the ancients were just what I needed for me to do so. Performing many dark rituals I soon gained the power to absorb the body, mind, soul, and power of every being that I wanted, sure I had to start off small with spirits but then made my way up to the Kyuubi no Kitsune herself."

"WAIT YOU MEN YOU KYUUBI IS ACTUALLY A WOMAN!" shouts out Naruto surprised that such a deep voice could belong to a woman.

"Helloooo, where do you think 'Foxy Lady' came from, me as a matter of fact," came the reply from the Kyuubi who decided that now was the time to reveal her human form.

And what a form it was, she was the goddess of beauty: curves in all the right places, perfectly portioned nothing to big or small on her thin frame, and with a face of that of an angel with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. All in all Naruto thought she was one of the most beautiful woman he had ever meet, and the white battle kimono just help bring even more of her beauty, plus the cute fox ears and tail helped too.

Spotting the blush forming on Naruto's face Kyuubi couldn't help but comment with a sly smile and striking a pose that even furthered the blush on the young ninjas face, "looks like I still have it baby!"

"D-don't y-you have nine t-tails," he replies still blushing stuttering like Hinata.

"Why, yes I do, but I thinks it looks hotter if I show only one of my tails. Dont you agree Naruto," she in a very sensual manner, making the poor boy blushes even more at her flirting.

"Enough of this," Juubi shouts out sucker punching Naruto right in the face. "I will have my new body," he continues to say standing over Naruto.

"Fuck you," Naruto shouts out at the monster who had been the cause of all of his troubles in his life. "I don't care who you are or who you say you are. I wont let you hurt anyone, I don't care how powerful you are I will win!"

"Hmm, it seems that you have some fight in you. At least it'll make things interesting," Juubi says charging at Naruto who had moved during his declaration to get some breathing room.

Left totally of the defensive, Naruto had to use all of his skill just to dodge the merciless onslaught of the Juubi who looked to be playing with Naruto like a cat did a mouse, with the insane grin covering his face was any indication. Knowing that claws on his enemy's hand would make blocking useless, he stuck with primarily dodging the Juubi's attack only using kunai to block when it was needed to the Juubi being that much stronger than him.

"Time to even the odds," Naruto shouts out bringing his hands into a familiar cross shaped seal creating up to twenty clones. "Lets get em guys!"

Unfortunately for Naruto, Shadow Clones only increase quantity never quality in a battle, and battling a being that could very well be over a million years old, it meant very little against an opponent who's that experienced. And of course that fact had to be proven true when the Juubi used some incredible acrobatic taijutsu to dispel all of his clones within seconds.

"You idiot, call Excalibur," Kyuubi shouts out noticing that the blond didn't bring the legendary sword with him when he entered the seal.

"How," Naruto cries out frustrated and at a complete loss of what to do.

"Just wish for him, and I mean you have to want it," Kyuubi tells Naruto wincing when Naruto takes another nasty hit.

Doing as instructed Naruto jumps back, thankful that the Juubi was only playing with him, calling forth the sword that had forever changed his life. At first nothing seems to be happening, however that changes when he feels himself zeroing in on the sword and pulling it into the seal, into his very hand.

"So that is the legendary Excalibur that everyone is so excited about. I see nothing to worry about, just a hunk of metal with only a few enchantments on it. It can't do anything to me," Juubi says arrogantly eyeing the sword that used to be in the fairy tales that he was told as a child. He was extremely let down, he didn't know what to expect, but this old plain claymore was certainly not it. "It seems the legends are wrong, they paint Excalibur as the classic medieval long sword not a claymore."

"Good, hes underestimating us. Let's make sure we don't do the same, and make sure you keep your emotions under control cause I'm going to have to let you use all of my power just so that we have a chance to win this fight," Excalibur says barely keeping his aggravation out of his voice.

And with that Naruto charges the Juubi swinging the sword into a very powerful upward slash throwing into it all his strength and weight. This worked for what they needed it for, causing the Juubi to loose his balance and push him back. Unfortunately it seems the Juubi's claws were indeed strong enough to block Excalibur as Naruto's vicious swings were used to keep the monster on the defensive hoping to find an opening to exploit.

Luckily enough the old saying holds true about 'how no matter how old you get or how experienced you get you will still make mistakes'. While viciously swinging his sword horizontally from the right to the left, Naruto was able to push the Juubi's claws out of the way creating an opening. Quickly planting his left foot behind his right at shoulder width apart, Naruto brings Excalibur close to his left side slightly above his hip the tip of the blade pointing right towards his opponents gut. Quickly steeping forward with his left foot, Naruto thrusts Excalibur into the Juubi slightly below the ribcage throwing all of his strength and momentum impaling his opponent up to hilt of his sword.

"GRRAAAAHH SHIT," Juubi screams out in pain. "YOU LITTLE SHIT I'LL KILL EVERYONE YOU LOVE YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

Deciding to show no mercy, Naruto swings his left foot out while twisting the blade and pulling it out all at the same time resulting in the Juubi loosing most of his intestines.

"What the fuck," Juubi grunts out in pain, "I should have healed form this instantly."

"Oh you mean my healing ability," Kyuubi says with a sly grin on her face. "Yeah, you see there is a problem with that. Well let's see, oh yeah when you left my body to try and take over Naruto's you forgot that by leaving me you would loose most of your powers that you stole form me. I hope that nasty booboo Naruto gave you didn't hurt too much," she says with a cackle.

Turing to fact the Kyuubi, the Juubi says, "Fine I guess Ill just have to return to the seal and heal. Make no mistake I will have my new body."

And with that declaration the Juubi take off running towards the seal as fast as his injured body can take him.

"Stop him now," Excalibur shouts out at the blond wanting to end the Juubi once and for all. But it was too late the Juubi was at the seal was just about to enter.

"WHAT THE HELL," the Juubi shouts out bouncing off an invisible barrier.

"You think I would just let you go after you destroyed my family leaving me only my son", a male voice says. "Just to let you know I control this seal, and now its time for me the fill my end of the deal with the Grim Reaper."

"SHIT," rings out the voice of the Juubi causing everyone to focus on him again or in fact the robed figure that was dragging the Juubi towards a doorway that seemed to scream out "Doorway to Hell".

"Minato, the first part of our deal is complete. In exchange for this part of the Juubi you will be given life again. Remember for your wife to come back I will need another piece of him, and for the rest of the people who died during his attack on your village I will need the rest of him along with Madara Uchiha," Death says as he drags the kicking and screaming Juubi with him into the very depths of hell itself.

"Well that's taken care of, now onto more important matters," says a blond hair man walking towards Naruto with a grim expression. Taking a closer look many would believe that this man was an older version of Naruto without the whisker like marks on his check.

Fear flooded through Naruto as he looked as his idol walked towards him. This was the man who sealed the Kyuubi into his, dying in the process. Does he hate me, some irrational part of the boys mind seemed to whisper out, and it wasn't exactly irrational it was just the little boy that was trapped into him that always wanted to be loved and accepted.

Dropping to his knees the famed Fourth Hokage quickly brings the young blond into a hug all the while crying whispering, "I'm so sorry Naruto. I thought that they would listen to me, I was stupid to believe that they would treat you like a hero just because I asked them to."

"What do you mean," Naruto asks, both scared and excited be been accepted as a human by none other than the Fourth Hokage, one of the greatest ninjas to ever walk the earth.

"Naruto, I might not have told everyone who your father was, but I hoped that when I told them that you were my legacy would be enough of a clue to get them thinking. But people have a tendency to ignore what they don't want to see, even the fact that you look exactly like me."

That was then it all clicked for Naruto, hoped filling him he couldn't help but whisper out, "Dad?"

Sorry for keeping you all waiting for this update for so long, but as I have mentioned earlier I have been busy at work as well as home. If anyone has any cannon information on Kushina let me know, all the info i have says: she has red hair, used to live in Whirlpool, and was Naruto's mother any more information on her would be greatly appreciated. The reason why the Juubi fell so easily was because he vastly underestimated Naruto's ability along with that of Excalibur's. Their is the strong possibility that Naruto will be paired up with Kyuubi later on in this story, but Naruto will date others and or maybe be paired with one to two others depending on how it goes. And at first the kyuubi won't like Naruto in that sense since she is a lot older and immortal, but that can change when I figure out how to make it fit into the story. Another reason why it took so long to update was that I heard about how their was a ten tailed demon and I wanted to include it with this story.

Important

Naruto is only a beginner when it comes to wield a sword, he does know the stances and forms thanks to his shadow clones, but he can't use them since his clones only transferred the memory of them. This will be addressed later on in the story, in the fights were he does fight like a skilled swordsman is because of Excalibur channeling his power through Naruto allowing him to use him correctly.
