Problem with the Seal

Warnings: None.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

After Iruka led the group to the arena, anbu had come and replaced him, placing chakra restraints on kyuubi's wrists. Naruto had taunted him about not being able to use his chakra anymore and kyuubi had growled, but when the matches started, Naruto cheered for his teammates, even cheering on for Lee and Hinata after seeing their struggle with their opponents. He congratulated Sasuke after he had won his match and sympathized with Sakura when she ended up with a tie. With the anbu watching kyuubi, Naruto felt more relaxed and was getting back to his normal self.

…

"Naruto, you are needed in the Hokage's office." Naruto stared at the anbu before nodding. Kyuubi had become docile since the anbu had shown up. It was great in Naruto's opinion. The only reason he even remembered the kyuubi was around was because he would always mumble to himself about stuff. And he mumbled all the way to the Hokage's office.

"You needed me gramps?"

"Ah, Naruto; I called you here to tell you Jiraya is here." The Hokage stated.

"Jiraya?"

"The seal master." Naruto's face lit up before he started jumping around.

"Ha ha! Finally!" He turned to the kyuubi. "Now you can go back into the seal and it'll be like none of this ever happened!" Kyuubi frowned and crossed his arms.

"At least I don't have to look at your stupid face while I'm in the seal." Kyuubi snarled.

"So where is this guy?" Naruto asked.

"Right here." All eyes went to the window. "So I'm going to guess that the little red head is the kyuubi, right?"

"I'm not little you ingrate."

"Sarutobi, why don't you get those anbu to stop being on guard; I'm going to be taking Naruto outside the village to check the seal for safety precautions."

"Are you sure Jiraya?" Sarutobi looked at the man. "I know you're strong, but if anything happens I don't believe you'll be able to control the situation alone."

"Don't worry; I got the toads on my side too." He paused and then added with a smile, "We'll be fine!" With a sigh, the Hokage had the anbu stand down.

"Now follow me you two!"

And he was gone.

"Hey wait for us!" Naruto called, jumping out the window and dragging kyuubi with him.

"HEY!"

The hokage could only shake his head in defeat. "I just hope he knows what he's doing."

…

Naruto followed Jiraya out of the village and far into the woods until he stopped at a small opening beside a cliff. There he sat down and watched as Naruto stopped in front of him and the kyuubi came flying into the blonde kid.

"Ack!" Naruto stumbled into the ground. "Hey! Watch it!"

"Me!? You fucking dragged me through those trees! You're the one that needs to watch it!" He tackled Naruto down and fought against him, pushing his face into the dirt.

"If you followed instead of standing like an idiot I wouldn't have had to drag you!" Naruto bit his hand and caused kyuubi to yelp before pulling his hand back and hitting Naruto in the head. Naruto turned and tackled kyuubi before sitting on top of him.

Jiraya cleared his throat and the two boys turned to face him. Kyuubi snarled as he pushed Naruto off of himself. "Sorry about that sensei."

"Alright. Alright. Now, from what I understand, Orochimaru's 5-pronged seal managed to mess with the 8-trigram seal that is placed on your stomach and that led to kyuubi getting out of the seal. Am I correct?" Naruto nodded. "Okay, now, pull up your shirt."

"What? Why!" Naruto looked at the old geezer with disgust written all over his face. This old geezer wants to look at me shirtless?! That's messed up!

"I need to inspect your seal." Oh. I knew that. Naruto pulled up his shirt up and used a bit of chakra to get it to show up.

"Hm… This is interesting.."

"What is?"

"You wouldn't understand it kid." Naruto rolled his eyes. "Have you tried using the kyuubi's chakra since he got out?"

"Of course not."

"Yeah. You're too scared to use it."

"Shut up! No one asked you!" He snarled.

"Quiet you both! Now, I'm going to need you to try and summon his power."

"Huh?"

"You heard me. So what usually gets his power to surge through you?"

"I can answer that. It's when he can't save his own ass."

"I said shut up! Dammit kyuubi; can't you just be quiet?" He groaned.

"Heh, and miss seeing you get so aggravated? How about not." He laughed.

"So when you're in danger you're able to call upon his power?"

"Yeah." Naruto answered, glaring at kyuubi.

"Then you're gonna have to forgive me for this kid!"

"Wha..?" Jiraya grabbed Naruto by his face and threw him over the edge of the cliff.

"What the hell!?" The kyuubi shouted, getting up and running towards the edge. "Why did you do that!?"

"He needs to summon your power in order to live from a fall like this. And this is the rush he needs." Jiraya explained.

Shit! He's going to die! Kyuubi thought before going back a few steps and diving right into the cliff.

…

I dived into the opening and saw Naruto screaming at the top of his lungs. He wasn't even trying to grab onto one of the spikes coming out of the wall! That fucking idiot! I called on my chakra and formed a cloak around me before throwing out a chakra hand to grab Naruto.

"Kyuubi!?" He shouted. "What are you- OW! Kyuubi! That burns!"

"I'm trying to save your ass! Now shut up!" God damn; he's annoying even when I'm trying to save him. I looked up. Shit, I don't have enough chakra to reach the ledge! I moved my other hand of chakra to grab the spikes. Why isn't it holding on!?

"I already tried that! It's too slippery to hold onto the spikes." He yelped as my chakra wrapped around him more. "Why don't you just make your chakra hand grab the ledge up there!?"

"Maybe it's because I don't have enough chakra!" I shouted. This is it, I was going to die trying to save this idiot… Wait.. Chakra! "Naruto! I need you to give me chakra!"

…

God dammit it burns! I thought as I grabbed my stomach. The moment kyuubi grabbed me with his chakra, the seal started to burn my stomach and I felt angry for some reason. I felt really angry. That stupid old man! He pushed me off the ledge and created this mess! Now I'm going to die and it's going to be his fault! There was a rush of energy and the burning stopped. No… I'm not going to die. I'm going to kill that bastard!

"Naruto I need you to give me chakra!" I glanced at Kurama before everything went black.
