Naruto – Created Fox

Chapter 1: Confused Beast

A young boy, no older than 8 was running for his life, as he had done many times on this very day, every year, on October 10th, and he didn't know why. A mob of people, Shinobi and civilian alike, were chasing a child who had no defense, no offense, he had nothing.

His hair was a sun-kissed blonde that spiked everywhere, but it was faded and dirty because of mistreatment and malnourishment and his body was a light tan, not that anyone could see under all of dirt and grime that had accumulated since his last proper bath. And on his face was a set of six whisker marks; three on each cheek.

But none of this stood out more in the dark evening than his tear filled cerulean eyes that would usually glimmer with determination and hope, were now filled with terror and the fear of getting stabbed, beaten and generally abused by these so-called "peaceful" villagers that were now chasing him into a forested area within the village.

He ran, and ran, and ran some more, but he never got away from the mobs and the names; Demon brat, Monster, Hell-spawn, among others.

Suddenly the boy tripped on the root of a nearby three, and tumbled onto the ground with a silent cry of pain. The tears were too hard for the young boy to keep in and he silently wept as he pulled himself up and fell down by a tree, relishing the rest he was getting at the moment, just not caring that the Mob was going to find him and just let the tears fall as he wondered, 'Why me, why?' he cried inside his own mind, body going numb from the soreness in his muscles, 'what did I do? Did I even do anything? DAMN IT!?' he cursed in frustration and grit his teeth against the pain.

"No Kit, you have done nothing wrong" sounded a powerful, yet somewhat feminine voice inside from seemingly nowhere and it sounded... sad, for some reason.

"Wha-!" the blonde boy sputtered incoherently as he looked around for the source of the voice.

"No kit, in your head, I'm in here" said the voice again with a somewhat amused tone.

The young child then felt some sort of pull on his mind and everything went black, then he blinked once as the darkness faded each time he blinked, and after a few minutes he could see what looked like to be an oversized sewer system, with pipes coming out haphazardly everywhere, even the ground here and there.

And his clothes had gone from the ragged white shirt and blue shorts he had before, to an open red fur coat and loose pants of the same colors, showing his bare chest, ribs fully visible under his skin. But what caught his eyes was a red light going down a water-filled corridor.

He followed this light down the corridor as it turned a few times before exiting into a gargantuan room where you could fit the whole Hokage tower and in the middle of this room was an equally large barred gold gate that was permeated with a red glow and was held closed by a somewhat flimsy paper with the word "Seal" in Kanji placed on it.

The young blonde walked closer to the gate and looked through the bars trying to see something in the darkness when a large fox tail snaked out from the darkness and gently caressed the boys cheek,. The boy visibly flinched at the touch, but the relaxed into it all, finding the long-needed gentleness comforting, and he felt no malicious intent coming from its touch.

He saw a flutter of tails through the bars as his surroundings seemed to light up a bit to reveal a sad looking fox, 6 feet in height when it was lying down, not counting the tails.

"Hello there Kit" said the powerful, yet feminine voice he had heard before, coming from the fox. The young boy looked on in wonder at the beautiful beast in front of him. It had nine red tails, tipped in black with the rest of the fur being completely red like the tails, with its eyes shining a bloody crimson in the poor lighting, and a set of gleaming teeth in its maw, becoming visible as the feminine beast spoke.

"Beautiful..." was all the boy could say as he looked at the female fox in front of him with an open mouth. She smiled a feral grin at the boy, "Oh? So you find the great Kyuubi no Kitsune 'Beautiful', do you?" she asked with some mirth in her words.

The boys eyes widened at this as he pieced together everything; the glares, the insults, the over-pricing, the beatings, his birthday, all of it. He let out a dry chuckle as it all went into place and a single tear escaped his eye.

"I guess what they say is true... I am a monster" He said with a sad smile.

"No you are not, young one, I am the one they hate," she said with a sad tone, "They are just fools, believing the Jailor is the prisoner," the great fox said heatedly, angry that they would make her host so miserable.

The boy looked into the blood red orbs of the beast and saw regret, for what he didn't know.

"Kit... they will find you, and bring you too deaths door... you know this don't you?" she said sadly.

"Yes... I know," he said with a sigh, "and I will almost die, but I always live in the end... and that would be thanks to you I guess?" He asked with a chuckle.

"Yes Kit, I have always kept you alive, because of the fourths seal, I would die with you... I'm sorry for letting them hurt you," she spoke with a choked voice, with a lone red tear falling from her eye.

"Don't worry, it's not your fault" the boy said as he lifted a hand to touch the tail that was holding his head, stroking the red fur.

"I know but..." she trailed off choking back tears before a new light entered her eyes, "I will not let them harm you again," she said with determination, "I can give you the power to not let them hurt you... but you won't be the same after this," she said as she looked intently at the young blond.

"Alright... I just want the pain to end," he said with a choked voice as he let the tears from years of abuse start falling.

The fox looked at her host one final time before closing her eyes. As she did, red light slowly emanated from her whole body.

Suddenly the low water started rising up higher to completely encompass the child. And the great fox started dissipating and turning into red particles that gathered around the blonde, slowly forming bestial-looking orange fox ears that were on top of his head and 9 orange fox tails with yellow tips.

Naruto's body started changing as well, the whiskers on his cheeks started darkening as his hair started growing at an accelerated rate, going down to his shoulders, as his blue eyes changed to have animalistic slits and became a lighter blue, almost aqua, under his closed eyelids, and his body started filling out with more musculature, hiding the ribs under his skin and making him look somewhat healthy.

The boy opened his mouth in a silent scream, showing his new fangs, as he forced his eyes open, due to the rapid changes occurring in his body. But the pain felt good, as his body now felt stronger than ever before and he didn't feel the same hunger as he did a few moments before.

Suddenly the boy felt his mind fade away and be taken over by pure instinct, there were no thoughts left in his head but the will to live.

Everything faded to white as the boy woke up, with his new tails swishing around him and the clothes he had in his mindscape following him out into the world. He was lying against the tree as he was before.

The boy rose to his feet. 'Run,' was the only thought running through his mind as he started doing just that, by going into a crouched sprint, using both his arms and legs to run away from the incoming Shinobi. As he was running, he felt a calm presence nearby and ran towards the source, as he got close, the urge to run decreased and he slowed to a low prowl through the forest until he came close to a clearing where a young girl sat. Her face looked peaceful as she looked up at the moon and stars, her pale eyes shining in the moonlight and her short midnight blue hair reflecting the light of the stars. She was wearing a lavender yukata with a flower pattern, and a white obi sash tied around her midsection.

The girl looked down as she heard a rustling in the bushes and saw a boy who was the same age as her with a pair of fox ears on top of his blonde covered head, and a familiar set of whisker marks, and his eyes were a glowing aqua with slits for pupils. She recognized him almost instantly when she saw the whisker marks that she found so cute, after all, only one person in the entire world has those marks.

"N-Naruto-kun?" she called out to the blonde boy whom she saw as her classmate and inspiration. He took a tentative step into the clearing, eyeing her carefully, warily, as if she would attack him at any moment. That was when she noticed his stance, he was walking like a prowling wolf and his hands looked almost like claws. And behind him were a set of nine tails that were waving around randomly, with yellow tips at the ends, mimicking his sun-kissed hair.

The young girl walked closer, and the closer she got, the more the boy seemed to calm and relax. He felt something about her; it was like a pool of kindness and calm, which he was drawn too. Naruto prowled closer to the girl and he slowly made his way over to the walking girl.

The young girl sat down on her knees when she saw him starting to walk closer himself, and looked at the one she admired for his strength.

The fox boy got closer to her, around 3 meters apart, and lay down on his belly with his hands on the ground by his mouth, so they were covering it as he put his head down as well, his tails swishing around him.

The girl crawled closer to the boy as he looked at her inquisitively, trying to figure her out she thought.

She sat down again by his head as the blue orbs looked up at her, and she couldn't help but blush as she saw the peaceful look on his face when she got close. She reached out a hand to pet him on the head, and he arched his back to lift it up for her to touch and to get a better look at her.

Naruto looked at the person with him; her eyes were filled with nothing but kindness and compassion as she smiled at him.

An old memory awoke inside Naruto's mind; a park where a young girl, the one sitting in front of him, was crying as two boys were bullying her, and then a young boy; himself, running up to the bullies and punching one of them hard enough to send him sprawling, then the other ran away crying for his mother. He was confused over this memory for a few seconds, before a name came to him; Hinata.

"Hinata..." Naruto said softly as he looked up at the young beauty that was caressing his fox ears. She blushed when she heard him say her name, either because he sounded so cute when e said it, or the fact that he remembered her name.

"Hai, Naruto-kun?" she asked kindly, not stuttering surprisingly. He responded by closing his eyes and putting his head in her lap as his tails went around holding Hinata upright as she almost fainted from the affectionate action. He was confused at first, but let her down gently and crawled around her so that he was sitting above her head as he let his tails slide under her, giving her a snuggly bed of furs.

The fox boy looked at the pale blushing beauty resting on his tails with a smile as his instincts told him to protect the girl.

"Protect... Hina-chan" he said with a gentle smile as he allowed sleep to claim him while he was sitting by the young girl that he had now sworn to protect.
