Chapter 1: Unbound, The beginning of a change
BANG BANG BANG came the fists on the door. With a grown and a few scratches to the back of his head, Naruto walked up to the door, unlocked the two dead bolts and swung the door open half way showing the already noon sun high over the leaf village.
"Naruto do you have any idea what time it is?" said one gusty pervy ninja.
Jiraiya leaned up against the door frame and looked into Narutos apartment to see it completely dust free! (Which startled him because come on were talking about Naruto)
Naruto looked back at his clock and saw that it was presently 12:04 PM. Wide eyed he threw his night cap onto his suitcase and ran to the shower yelling "be ready soon, come in and make yourself comfortable" over his shoulder.
Jiraiya walked in and took a seat on Narutos couch and leaned back and closed his eyes to rest.
Naruto quickly turned on the water and looked into the mirror waiting for the water to heat up. "*sigh* last day here for a while" leans in closer to the mirror and looks deep into his own eyes for a few seconds.
Going over the tub and running his hand through the warm water, steps into the tub and washes every inch of his body and wild hair quickly all the while spacing out about Sasukes most hurtful betrayal of the leaf and the trip to come with Jiraiya. With his mind on other things he takes a step forward to wash the soap out of his eyes and accidently steps on the soap bar that he used only moments ago and fall to the floor. With the new aches and pains plaguing his body from the previous fall, he decides to lay there for a few minutes and just relaxes and lets the water run onto his somewhat still healing chest.
After about 3 minutes of lying he finally gets up and rinsed his body with the warm water. Turning the water off and stepping onto the rug and drying his body and wraps the towel around his waist and walks out to see Jiraiya on the couch with his head back and arms on the top of the couch. He goes into his room to change into his (kill me) orange jumpsuit and grabs his crap and walks out to find Jiraiya at the door holding it open for him.
'That's screaming time to go' Naruto thought and quickly walked out the door into the nice sun light of the day.
Walking down his stairs and into the street to see many people still having the time to glare at the Demon child after a invasion and one of the world's greatest Kages death, Naruto lowers his head and just follows Jiraiya all the way to the gate, having said all of his goodbyes the night before at a picnic thrown by Tsunade and entertained by the many misadventures of the mighty prankster and guest of honor, Naruto himself all told by Iruka or other entertainments such as the eating contest sponsored by Ichiraku Ramen (all free of charge because it was all for Narutos happiness and as a farewell gift to said individual).
Arriving at the gate, Naruto looks up to find Tsunade, who was standing there holding a large scroll the size of the Third hokages scroll of seals.
"Naruto, you should know...life isn't easy. You should know that better than anyone. So here." handing Naruto a very large scroll.
"The Third Hokages left in his will that you take position of a copy of his scroll of seals and some of his other scrolls, also i thought that i would like to help in your development in some way over your trip. so i took the copy and copied all the medical jutsu that i can think of and put it in a scroll and a copy of the Nara Clan Medical Encyclopedia, everything from basic remedies to surgical jutsus, into a scroll and sealed both into a storage seal at the very beginning that i added, its properly labeled so you'll find it easily." Tsunade spoke.
Naruto taking the huge scroll in his hands finding it heavier then he thought as he almost fell over.
"And here is a basic medic kit and a book on all medical herbs in all the nations that i co-wrote myself" she added as she handed Naruto another book.
Naruto looked at the gifts and smiled and looked up at Tsunade and said "Thanks Oba-chan, I'll read them all." He put the book in his pack and strapped the large scroll to the bottom of his pack and hugged Tsunade waist.
Jiraiya, smiles a small smile, places a hand on Narutos shoulder and says "alright Naruto, time to go, we have a long way to go." he looks to Tsunade and smiles a little bigger
"I'll bring him back. He'll be way stronger, right Naruto?"
"Yep let's go pervy sage!" Naruto starts to walk fast out of the village.
Jiraiya places a hand on Tsunade shoulder, "I'll keep his safe. I'll make him stronger than his father." he grins "keep his seat warm" and with that Jiraiya starts his and Narutos journey with a smiling Tsunade behind them, a single tear running down her cheek.
Little did anyone know that a long girl with lavender colored eyes holding a small fox in her arms was watching from behind a balcony wall "Naruto, be safe" a low whisper no one could hear but weighed heavy on the young heart of Hinata as she watched Narutos figure gets smaller and smaller in the distance
*(THAT EVENING)*
"Alright Naruto, this looks like a great spot to stop to set up camp for the night" Jiraiya said as he looked at the little clearing a little ways from the road.
"It's only four, we still have five hours till it gets dark though so we could make it to the next town by dark if we kept walking" Naruto stated as he looked around.
"Oh so you don't want to train for a while? Well i guess i could teach you this move later on then" Jiraiya spoke with a grin as he say Naruto spin around at the last part and quickly make four bushins to set up camp.
"No no this is fine, so what's this new jutsu then?" Naruto quickly said as one of his clones took Jiraiyas pack off for him and started setting up two small tents for both Naruto and Jiraiya.
"Well first off let's find out what your nature affinity is, ok?" Jiraiya said while pulling some chakra paper out of his back pocket and hands it to Naruto.
Naruto being Naruto asks "what's is nature affinity?" while examining the chakra paper
"Well in general, every person has chakra that has an affinity towards one of the five element types, a characteristic that seems to be genetic, since whole clans sometimes share the same affinity. Most members of the Uchiha clan, for example, had an affinity towards the Fire nature." Jiraiya said matter-a-fact.
"To find out what affinity someone has, pieces of paper made from a special type of tree (that are grown and fed with chakra) like the one in your hand are used that react to even the slightest hint of chakra in any of a number of ways, depending on the nature latent in the chakra. If fire then the paper will ignite and turn to ask, if wind then the paper will split in two, if lightning then it will wrinkle, if earth it will crumble away, and if its water then it will become damp. All you have to do is mold a little chakra into it." Jiraiya explained
Naruto, hearing this molds chakra into the paper and watch's as the paper splits not once but 12 times, one half gets wet and the other half crumbles away.
"What does this mean" Naruto exclaimed, showing the paper to a wide eyed Jiraiya.
"That means you have a very strong affinity for wind and normal average affinity for water, and earth." Jiraiya says as he notices a very little very thin black line briefly appear and disappears around Narutos neck under the shadow of his head.
"Naruto, take your shirt and coat off, turn around and raise your hair for me, then mold chakra again" Jiraiya says as he starts to look at Narutos neck more closely
Naruto doing as told takes his coat and shirt off, turns around, lifts his hair and molds chakra only to hear Jiraiya gasp and say "keep molding it. Hold still."
Jiraiya looks close to see a little dot on Narutos spin and places a finger on it and forces a little chakra into it only for a very complex seal to appear all around Narutos neck and for Naruto to fall backwards into Jiraiyas open arms unconscious. Jiraiya carefully examines the seal to see that it's a binding seal. 'Why would this be here? Those on the council better not be behind this...it's clearly not one of Danzo's seals, then who?' Jiraiya thought to himself. He places his hand on the seal and closed his eyes to focus on removing the seal only for He himself to slump over unconscious with his hand still on the seal.
*(Deep within Narutos Mind)*
Jiraiya opens his eyes to see that he is standing in the middle of a very large room with no openings other than large bars too big to be forged by any normal smiths.
"YOU TRIED TO REMOVE THE SEAL. WHY?" Jiraiya felt the ground shake with every word only to look up to see large red eyes.
"You're the nine-tailed fox." Jiraiya said with no fear in his voice. "How did you being me within your seal?" Jiraiya inquired as he turned his head slightly to the side.
"SO LONG AS YOU TOUCH ANY SEAL ON THIS BOY THEN I CAN BEING YOU HERE AS I PLEASE. NOW TELL ME, WHY WERE YOU TRYING TO REMOVE THE SEAL THAT I PLACED ON THE BOY FROM WITHIN?" The Kuuybi spoke as it neared the bars.
"Wait, you placed that seal on him? I was going to remove it because it's a binding seal that appears on him as he uses chakra. Its restricting his chakra flow to his head, no wonder why his so thick headed." Jiraiya spoke as he neared the cage.
"I PLACED THE SEAL ON HIM SO MY CHAKRA DOES NOT OVERWHELM HIS BODY." Kuuybi spoke.
"His body by now has adapted to you being within him. You must remove it before permanent damage is done to his brain. I request you remove the seal for if not i will remove it by force." Jiraiya spoke with a cold calculating glare.
"YOU HAVE STONE SANNIN TO REQUEST SOMETHING FROM A DEMON...FOR THAT I WILL REMOVE THE SEAL. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF IT WERE TO BE ROMOVED. WHEN YOU AWAKEN THE SEAL WILL BE GONE, YOU WILL PLACE MY CONTAINER WITHIN HIS TENT AND LET HIM REST. BY MORNING THE EFFECTS SHOULD WEAR OFF AND HE WILL BE ABLE TO UTILIZE ALL HIS FACILITIES. BECAUSE THE SEAL HOLDING ME WITHIN HIM STEALS MY CHAKRA AWAY FROM ME AND GIVE IT TO HIM HE WILL BE ABLE TO UTILIZE HIS FACILITIES TO THERE MAXIMUM AT ALL TIME. SO BE PREPARED FOR HE WILL BE DIMWITTED NO MORE." The Demon Kitsune spoke.
With that said, Jiraiya was plunged into darkness with the revelation that he was just praised by a demon and that he will have a lot of work to do.
*(exit Narutos mind)*
Jiraiya awoke moments later with Naruto at his side. He checked Narutos neck for any seals and gladly found none, he then picked up Naruto and placed him in his tent and decided to follow Narutos example and sleep.
*(Within Narutos Mind)*
Naruto opened his eyes to see himself in a very large room, sitting up fast and quickly regretting it as a major headache plagued his brain and he quickly took in his surroundings.
From behind him he heard someone clear there throat. Naruto slowly stood and was about to speak when he finally notice a (human) figure on the other side of the very large bars.
"Hey how did you get in there? You should run, that's where the Kuuybi resides" Naruto shouted as he quickly ran over to the bars and motioned for the (what looks to be female) person to come out of the bared off area.
"Hello Naruto, it's the first time you haven't called me stupid fox while you were here" As the woman neared the bars Naruto could finally see her clearly. This woman had Orangeish hair that was extremely long all the way down to her calf's, that branched out behind her and gently swished around as nine separate tails would, she was rather tall reaching 6 feet, she had somewhat elongated fox ears that were orange with white black tips protruding from the upper sides of her head and as Narutos eyes went down her body he had a small blush as he noticed her rather large 'assets'. To Narutos eyes she was a very beautiful woman in a light orange summer dress.
Then what the woman said hit him like a box of bricks "Kuuybi?" To the woman's nod, Naruto then asked with a completely shocked face "Wait you're a female?"
At that the Kuuybi giggled "Already using big words, that's great."
Offence then crossed Narutos face then curiosity. "What do you mean?"
"Ok, let me start from the beginning." Kuuybi spoke
*(flashback)*
A flash of light was the only signal of the forth hokages arrival in the now devastated Konaha. Minato looked on as the Kuuybi blocked the hundreds of Kunai thrown at by all the ninja trying to force it out of the village.
Minato then used his flying thunder god jutus to teleport to the Kuuybi and quickly teleport away off into the foot hills. On arrival, Kuuybi towered over Minato as he rushed over to his dying wife Kushina that was lying on a large flat rock.
"Kushina, are you and Naruto alright?" Minato spoke franticly as he took Naruto away from Kushina and looked her over and noticed a deep stab just below Kushina's heart.
"I'll be fine. *cough cough* I hope you didn't get in too much trouble with the villagers Kuuybi." A small smile crossed Kushina's face as a little blood seeped down from the corner of her lips.
"Kushina...she was being controlled...a man named Tobi controlled her and almost destroyed the village" Minato looked down at the crying baby that was Naruto and gently handed him back to Kushina.
Upon hearing this Kushina looked up at Kuuybi and said "you didn't mean too huh?" At that the giant Demon Kitsune shook her head no and lowered her head and Kushina gently rubbed her soft fur gently.
Kushina then looked at Naruto. "Minato...you know we have to seal Kuuybi into Naruto." she said very sadden.
"Yeah." Minato stated as he placed his hand on the ground and a small cloud of smoke appeared and when the cloud dispersed there was what would be a small shrine but what was actually a sealing cradle. Minato then takes Naruto and places him in the cradle and takes a giant scroll from his back and places it next to the small cradle.
"Naruto" Minato spoke as he looked at Kushina with tears rolling down his cheeks. "We both agree that you should always remember...we love you." And with a flash of light, Kuuybi was then sealed within Naruto, and Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were dead.
*(end flashback)*
Naruto looked at Kuuybi with grief and tears streaming down his cheeks and then looked to the ground in thought after hearing about the final moments of his parent's lives.
"So they didn't abandon meā¦the truly loved me?" Naruto quickly looked up to Kuuybi as she nodded her head and smiled
"With all this and me removing the seal things will be very different and this is going to be entertaining" Kuuybi grinned a toothy grin.
