Naruto openly stared at the sight, it had to be a trick, some kind of illusion or ninjutsu or something. There was no possible way that he could be seeing this! He moved to stand but a pulsing pain from the seal on his stomach stopped him.
He felt a rush and when he opened his eyes again he found himself standing infront of the Kitsune's cage, a sight that he hadn't seen in many years.
But the sight that greeted him was even more surprising than the view on the outside world.
The doors to the seal were open, albeit slightly but still open none the less. Within the cage Naruto could see a massive pool or lake of red chakra as it glowed fiercely. But he couldn't see the fox…
"Looking for something?"
Naruto turned and took a step back in true, genuine fear as a red fox the size of a very large horse grinned at him before it lunged forward and bit his shoulder.
Naruto closed his eyes, waiting for the pain, but when none came he opened his eyes revealing that the fox was actually clamping down on his shoulder, but not injuring him. The fox chuckled at his expression of wariness before it pulled back and began circling him. "Don't worry fool boy, I cannot harm you…for now at least."
"How are you out of your prison?" Naruto asked the Kitsune, his hand resting on the sword at his side.
The kyuubi smirked, its pearl white fangs glinting evilly. "That would be your doing fool boy…well, you and that girl."
Naruto glared at him. "What have you done?' He snarled as his eyes flashed red.
The legendary demon smirked, "I have decided to take my leave of this dull, boring place and go into my second prison."
"Second prison?' Naruto repeated angrily.
The fox sneered at him, placing his face right infront of the blond. "You did not seriously believe that one lonesome child barely out of his mothers womb could hold my full power back did you? Don't flatter yourself boy! That Yondaime of yours could never hope to design a seal strong enough to have a child survive receiving my near limitless chakra."
"He split your power in two." Naruto said quickly deducing what the Kitsune was getting at.
The foxes smile was almost prideful yet somehow hateful all the same. "That he did, my consciousness, and five tails of my power into you, and four tails into her."
Naruto was quiet for a long moment before he snarled and grabbed the Kitsune by the front of his throat, Kyuubi growled, at this point he couldn't harm his vessel, but the blond could apparently harm him.
The legendary beast could practically feel Naruto's smirk as he spoke in a smug tone. "It matters not you cursed creature. From what I can tell, this part of you is just your consiousness, and that." He said jerking his head to the pool of red chakra still within the cage. "Is still your five tails of power trapped in the seal. I still have all your strength, so go to her. Go to the foolish girl. I'll be glad to rid the world of both of you."
At this the Kyuubi smirked and chuckled the dark foreboding sound still as chilling as ever. "Ahhh, but here lies the Yondaime's one true folly." He paused as he laughed again. "He designed both seals with the intent that nothing would ever change. But one thing will change now, the location of my conscious mind."
Naruto's narrowed eyes could tell he was not going to enjoy this.
"The Yondaime designed your seal with my self preservation instincts in mind. He knew that I would not want to die, and so knew, that I would always do my best to control the damage my chakra did to your body, in order to preserve my own life. However, now that I will no longer be here, your body will experience the full damage the use of my chakra will undoubtedly provide you with."
Naruto narrowed his eyes and then tore out the Kitsune's throat, only to have him burst into red mist and reform a few feet away. "Ohh but Naruto there is so much more to this." It chuckled. "The girls seal is designed differently, she pulls out less chakra than what you would normally do, but the damage is automatically filtered by her seal, but now, with my entering her seal, I can refine the chakra even further, making it do even less damage than what it used to do to you. She will have my power while you…you will experience more pain than what you could ever imagine calling just one tail."
Naruto glowered at the Kitsune, his form shaking in rage as he glared with all the hate he could muster. Kyuubi smirked. "Then, when I use her to kill you, the chakra in this seal will automatically seek me out, entering her, and thus killing her, releasing me from her seal, since it was never meant to bind my spirit. While you're seal is. Therefore this seal...not hers would take me to the afterlife with you. "
"Why did you not o this sooner? You could have easily escaped the seal any time, if this was always the situation."
"Still so very astute." The Kyuubi smirked. "That blasted Sandaime hid her well, so well that not even I could sense her, but when you attacked those Hyuuga you two crossed paths, her close proximity to both you and my chakra, awoke the chakra I had within her, she has been a beacon ever since, I just needed to wait for her rage to get the better of her."
Now then my boy." He gave a mock bow as his form began to fade. "I take my leave of you." He said chuckling at his enraged eyes.
