Inside the sealed space of Naruto Uzumaki, deep within the darkness of his subconscious, a great beast lay coiled in silent rage. The Kyuubi's massive form stretched across the damp, sewer-like prison, its glowing red eyes filled with a hatred that had simmered for over a decade.
It let out a low growl, its nine tails flicking restlessly.
"Watching this brat grow up year after year… how boring," the Kyuubi muttered to itself. "Humans… disgusting creatures. Filthy, ungrateful fools."
The Kyuubi's claws scraped against the cold stone floor as a wave of bitterness surged through it.
"Minato Namikaze—the man who protected this wretched village, the one who fought and died for them. And yet, his own son was labeled a demon fox."
The beast's lips curled back, revealing sharp fangs.
"Those brainless fools… how I despise them."
For years, the Kyuubi had done everything it could to interfere from within. Subtle whispers of rage, small bursts of chakra to fuel Naruto's anger, nudges of hatred to twist his emotions. But the seal—the cursed seal placed by the Fourth Hokage—was unbreakable. No matter how much it struggled, for more than a decade, it had never been able to free itself.
And yet, despite its failures, it had found one small victory.
Even though it couldn't break the seal, it could still manipulate the brat.
A deep, rumbling laugh echoed in the chamber.
"Brat, you will suffer for what your parents did to me!"
Its laughter grew louder, filled with malicious glee.
"Your mother bound me in chains! Your father tore me apart! Since I can't take revenge on them, I'll settle for you!"
The Kyuubi's laughter roared through the chamber—until something changed.
Its chakra, sharp and acute, suddenly sensed an unsettling presence. No—multiple presences.
A chill ran down the Kyuubi's spine.
It knew this feeling. A pressure so suffocating, so overwhelming, that even it, the mighty Nine-Tails, had once been forced to submit.
A chakra it had not felt in decades.
"Impossible… Uchiha Madara… Senju Hashirama?!"
The Kyuubi's body stiffened, its bloodlust replaced by sheer disbelief.
"How could those two still be alive?! What the hell is happening?!"
For the past several days, after sensing those monsters, the Kyuubi had deliberately suppressed its chakra, hoping to avoid drawing their attention. If those perverts found out it was still here, they might pin it to the ground and beat it senseless again!
So it had chosen silence. Caution.
But now…
Now, the seal was opening?!
The Kyuubi's breath hitched.
"This is it!"
Its chakra surged forward, flooding outward like a tidal wave, rushing through the opening—
And then—
"…WHAT THE HELL?!"
The Kyuubi recoiled violently as it sensed the presences outside.
Minato Namikaze. Uzumaki Kushina. Uchiha Fugaku. Uchiha Mikoto. Hatake Kakashi. Hatake Sakumo.
Uchiha Sasuke. Haruno Sakura. Souta Kazuki.
And the brat himself—Naruto Uzumaki.
And if that wasn't bad enough—
Three pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan.
Golden chakra chains shimmering behind Kushina.
The Kyuubi immediately yanked its chakra back, retreating into the corner of its cage.
"What the hell is happening?!" it hissed, curling up defensively. Its nine tails wrapped around its head as if shielding itself from the nightmare before it. "Why are those two here?! Damn it, will I ever be free?!"
The chakra outside the cage began to condense, forming into distinct figures.
The Kyuubi watched in dread as Minato Namikaze, that wretched man, calmly stepped forward. His expression was as easygoing as ever, but the Kyuubi knew better. That smiling face hid something dangerous.
Bang!
The Kyuubi slammed its claws into the cage's bars, shaking the entire space.
"Minato Namikaze! Uzumaki Kushina!"
Its voice thundered through the chamber.
"You damn humans! You sealed me inside a brat?! Just wait! The day I break free, I will burn Konoha to the ground! I will slaughter every last one of you!"
But Minato only smiled.
"Kyuubi, long time no see," he said, his voice calm. "I know you're impatient, but there's no need to rush. It's been years since we last met, after all. Wouldn't it be rude to skip formalities?"
Then—
He opened the cage.
The Kyuubi froze.
"What…?"
Minato Namikaze—the man who sealed it away with precise, terrifying skill—just opened the cage?
Something was wrong.
It glanced at the others, its mind racing. If it moved now, it could—
No.
It halted immediately as it saw them.
Fugaku and Mikoto, their Mangekyō Sharingan spinning ominously.
Kushina's golden chains coiling in anticipation.
And worst of all—two chakra masses forming from the cage itself.
Minato's brows furrowed. He had expected this.
The chakra took shape—two familiar figures emerging from the swirling energy.
His own chakra. And Kushina's.
Their final safeguard.
Minato instinctively reached out, catching the forming figures before they could fully manifest. He knew exactly what they were—pre-recorded messages, their last insurance for Naruto.
Kushina's face flushed slightly. She had left some rather embarrassing words for their son, words that were definitely not meant for an audience.
The Kyuubi, watching all of this unfold, felt a headache coming on.
Its eyes darted around the room. Minato. Kushina. Three Uchiha. A mysterious brat with suspicious chakra. A room full of powerful shinobi.
This wasn't just a simple reunion.
Something far bigger was happening here.
For the first time in years…
The Kyuubi wasn't sure what to do.
As everyone stepped into its prison, Naruto's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"So cool!!! Is this the Kyuubi?!!"
The Kyuubi groaned internally.
This brat was an idiot.
