RE EDITED CHAPTER:
7 year old Naruto Uzumaki hated his life. He hated how he was kicked out of the orphanage last year. He hated how he had to sleep in cardboard boxes on the south side of the read light district. (The prostitutes of Konoha were the only ones who wouldn't try to kill him in his sleep.) He hated the drunken villagers who beat him within an inch of his life last night on his birthday. But the one thing that he probably should hate he couldn't bring himself to. At least not after the conversation he just had with it as he lay in his hospital bed under the now watchful eye of the Hokage.
Flashback Naruto's mindscape:
Naruto woke up in warm water, comfortable warm water. He would have turned over and gone back to sleep if it hadn't been for a deep, ridiculously loud voice that seemed to come from everywhere yelling at him. "You lazy human scum, WAKE UP!" The voice practically roared. This had the effect of waking young Naruto up completely.
Upon opening his eyes he quickly analyzed his surroundings, something he learned how to do the hard way after the many times he had woken up on the streets. The water only came up to his ankles now that he was standing and had a faint red glow to it. There were pipes running along the walls to his left and right, some with a blue glow and the others red. About 20 feet in front of him was a giant cage of some kind with bars wider than he was.
Half way up the bars there was a piece of paper with the Kanji for 'Seal' on it. Naruto couldn't see what was in the cage but based on the sound of it's breathing it was also huge and deserved a cage this size. "I didn't survive this long on my own by being curious."He said to himself as got ready to take off.
"That's it kit, run away like you always do." Taunted the voice. Normally, Naruto would have ignored this choosing continued survival over his pride. But in light of this last beating finally pushing him over the edge he turned around and yelled, with out a drop of fear but an entire ocean of rage in his voice. "What do you know about me!?" "What do you.."
"Everything! I have been sealed away in side you since the day you were born. My chakra healing you, saving you from beatings and poisonings and malnourishment; I've felt every blow the people of this pathetic village have dealt you. But no more! You will sit down and shut up while I explain certain things to you. Do you understand kit?"
"The sit down and shut up part yes, the rest? Um…not really." Naruto responded honestly while moving to follow instructions. Eyes, giant red glowing eyes was all Naruto could see through the bars now that whatever he was talking to moved closer. "What are you." He asked in awe.
"I am the Kyuubi."Answered the now identified demon fox.
"Kyuubi? But they taught us in class that the Yondaime killed the kyuubi." Naruto said confusion clear in his voice.
"I am a force of nature boy. I cannot be killed, at least not permanently. Your Yondaime knew this and sealed me away in an human infant, you." Stated Kyuubi.
"So that's why they hate me… they think I'm you!" Yelled Naruto standing pointing an accusing finger at the fox.
"SIT DOWN!" Roared Kyuubi, annoyed that he once again had to raise his voice. "I did not choose to be sealed away in you. Nor did I choose to attack your village. 7 years ago I escaped my previous host and tried my damndest to get away from this wretched village before I was sealed again. I was only 4 or 5 miles outside of Konoha when a cloaked human with strange sharingan eyes appeared in my path."
"I wasn't even going to kill him choosing to simply jump over him instead, but while I was in the air passing him he hit me with the most powerful fire jutsu I've ever seen a human produce. I landed and wiped around to end the insolent little twerp's life but made the mistake of looking him in the eyes. He must have placed me in some kind of genjutsu because the next thing I knew I was inside this cage sealed away yet again despite my best efforts. What I get for showing mercy I guess."Kyuubi said in a slightly defeated voice.
Impressively Naruto was able to keep up with all this and quickly formulated a list of questions to ask the fox. "May I ask you a few questions now?" Naruto asked calmly, not wanting to anger the fox again. "You may." "Why did you heal me all this time if you hate showing mercy?" Naruto started off.
"You and I are bound together which is why I feel what you feel. If you die I will be dispersed and it will take 9 years for me to reform. This process is more painful than anything you can imagine and is the worst fate any demon can experience. I healed you merely to save myself." Informed the Kyuubi.
"Who was your last host?"
"A redheaded human named Kushina Uzumaki. She was giving birth to a child when the seal holding me weakened. I ceased the opportunity and escaped."
Naruto was filled with multiple emotions when he heard this. So he forgot to control himself and yelled his next question. "WAS SHE MY MOTHER!?"
"First of all check you tone human! Secondly, to answer your question, probably I am not certain. When sealed I spend most of my time asleep so that my imprisonment passes faster. If my host draws enough of my chakra or is in enough pain only then will I wake up completely. Because of this most of my memory of the time spent sealed in her was of her battles." Said Kyuubi.
Naruto desperate to get any info he could on a potential family member asked this: "What can you tell me about her?"
"She used shadow clones both in battle and in training. She also used kenjutsu heavily. She used multiple blades and collected them from her defeated enemies when ever possible. Now ask one more question so we can move things along."
"Do you have any idea who my father is?" Asked Naruto.
"In battle she seemed to always worry about a man with blond hair and blue eyes more than her other comrades. He was more powerful than she was so I never understood her concern. Anyway now that I'm awake and looking through your memories I see his picture in your history book. He was the Yondaime Hokage, the same person who probably sealed me in you."Answered the fox with a unseen grin knowing this info would probably add to Naruto's hatred and rage.
"My father did this to me?" he asked himself. "He's the reason why I live this shitty life?" However before he could continue this line of thought the Kyuubi started talking again.
"Kit before I go to sleep a want to teach you how to defend yourself with my chakra. Stand up." Once Naruto had done as instructed he continued. "My chakra is driven and controlled by hate and rage. To summon it you simply have to channel these emotions. I want you to think back to how you felt when I taunted you earlier. Or think about just how fucked up your life is. Use your hate to connect to my chakra and then pull on it."
Naruto did as instructed and the results were both explosive and immediate. The vile chakra surrounded him in a red cloak. While he was surprised by the pain he felt along his chakra pathways it paled in comparison to the rush of power. He could feel his fingernails and teeth growing, sharpening and coming to a point. His muscles and bones strengthened stimulated by the chakra flowing through them.
"Good, good now I want you to create arms out of the chakra and try and touch the bars of my cage. Stay where you are though. Practice extending and retracting them." Said the Kyuubi. Naruto did as instructed and completed the task. "Humm It seems you are a natural at using my power which, because of how your life has been up till now makes since. Now kit listen to me well. When inside of the village only use my chakra when your life in danger because it is easily felt by people around you.
If you use it to much people will think the seal is weakening and that will lead to all sorts of problems for you. If you liked the chakra cloak and the chakra constructs you can use your own chakra to make them. But you will need to work on your chakra control constantly." The Kyuubi warned.
"But why, I mean it wasn't that hard to do just now. Why would using my chakra be different?" Asked Naruto having deactivated the cloak.
"I was helping you control my chakra but the seal prevents me from manipulating yours in anyway." Answered the fox letting out a yawn. "Ok I understand." replied Naruto.
Flashback continued:
Naruto woke up to a boot in his gut and pain racing though his body. "Well would you look at this. The demon isn't dead yet, all the more fun for us aye boys?" Asked drunken villager number one.
"Yeah, a my big brother come back that night with 3rd degree burns over his whole body. We had to give him a closed casket funeral. Let's set the demon on fire like he did to my brother." Said drunken villager number 2.
Hearing this Naruto knew he need to do something quick so he drew on the Kyuubi's chakra just as he had been taught. The chakra quickly formed a cloak around Naruto that burned through the villagers boot. Said villager jumped away hoping to avoid the same happening to his foot when a red fist made out of chakra hit him with incredible force on his right temple jerking his head violently to the side breaking his neck. He was dead before he even hit the ground.
The 3rd and final villager of the group let out a horrified scream and turned to run away. "I won't let you… (cough …cough) escape!" Naruto half yelled half croaked around the blood in his mouth and throat. He then sent an arm after the man, reformed it's hand into a blade and simultaneously cut and burned the mans head off. Because of the intense heat melting the majority of the vessels and arteries closed there was little to no blood, funny how that didn't make the sight any less gruesome.
The 2nd villager was so afraid he couldn't think properly. All he could do was stare at the slowly standing blond child. Naruto limped towards him and actually entertained the thought of sparing this one. But his train of thought darkened when he remembered the man's rant. "Let's set the demon on fire." Naruto repeated. "There's an old saying. Do onto others as you would have them do unto you."
"No! yoouuu sttaay way from me demon!" The man stuttered.
"Ow and here I was about to give you a hug. You know what I think I still will." Naruto grinned and grabbed the man in a bear hug. The villager was quickly burned by the cloak but before he died Naruto let go and turned to walk away.
"Why? Why are you letting me live?" He asked. The mans screaming had shaken Naruto out of his revenge driven stupor. Letting his cloak fade he looked down at the man with tears in his eyes.
"So that you can back me up when I tell them I did this in self defense." Naruto then channeled the fox's chakra to his eyes turning them red and looked into those of his victim. "You will back me up won't you?" Naruto asked/demanded, unknowingly channeling killing intent for the first time.
"Yyyyees of course I promise." The man swore.
"Good." Naruto replied as he cut the chakra and KI and left the ally. He never even saw the man pass out nor did he sense the dog masked anbu whose shift had just started sneak up behind him and knock him unconscious and rush him and the villager that was still alive to the hospital.
