Chapter 4 by Master-V Master-V

What's next?

Naruto tries to get his chakra under control

Looking down at his former ally being buried in ruble Naruto's teared flowed even harder. Pain raced throughout the young boys heart as he thought his believed former teammate dead. Dead by his own hands.

While Naruto knew his pain to be greater than the leaf villages precious Uchiha he still did not want to fight him. Most certainty Naruto did not want to kill him. But he was done letting the village **** him. And with the Leaf Village severely weakened from the Sand and Sound Villages simultaneous attack now might have been Naruto's only chance to escape. And he would not stop for anybody.

Not even his best friend.

Still empowered by the Nine-Tailed foxes chakra cloak Naruto easily scaled the statue of Madara Uchiha and made his way to the forest above. Looking out to the large lake that lead to the waterfall of the final valley Naruto got a look at himself in the waters reflection. "What is this? It feels like chakra but.....thicker...." Naruto inspected his now more feral features.

Slitted red eyes.

Enlarged canines.

Thickened whisker marks.

"Hmp. Guess I am the monster now." Naruto mused before swiping his claws at his reflection. Naruto had used the Nine-tailed fox's chakra a few times before and had gained these features before. Though only in short bursts.

Once the battle was over the seal holding the Nine-tails was quick to once more suppress the chakra. Until now that is. "What's going on? Come on turn back!" Naruto said angrily.

Despite his attempts at regaining control of his chakra the red veil would not dispel. "What the hell fox? Fights over!" Naruto yelled aloud in frustration. Naruto's anger continued to grow as the red chakra burned his skin.

"Dammit this shit hurts! That perv sage never said anything about this." Thoughts of his now former master made Naruto's anger flare up even more. "Bastard probably knew about this and figured I didn't need to know about it."

"Of course he did." Naruto's widened as he heard the unmistakable voice of the Nine-tails. Loud and boastful with just the slightest underlying of distain for all of humanity. Especially the one acting as his current jailer. "You!? But....but I'm not....how are you?"

Naruto asked while looking around. Confused as to how the Nine-tailed fox was talking to him without him going to the creepy boiler-room like cage in his mindscape. "Hehehe you are now being enveloped by my chakra. More so now than you have ever been before. As such the line between your essence and my own becomes blurred. Should you continue to use my power in such a way the line may even disappear completely."

The Nine-tails words frighten Naruto. What did he mean the lines of their essence would disappear completely? Whatever the fox meant by it Naruto did not like the sound of it. "Alright then take it back! I've already won. I don't need it anymore." Naruto stated angrily.

"Don't you? The Uchiha brat was a weakling and still almost beat you. Eventually the Leaf Village will finish licking their wounds and come for you. Do you really believe you will be able to defeat them all by yourself brat?" The Nine-tails asked, his tone mocking Naruto.

The blond boy clenched his fist in frustration. "So what fox? You wanna team up or something?" Naruto asked looking back to his reflection in the lake. Unsure why but feeling as if looking at his reflection was the same as looking the Nine-tailed fox.

"Something of the sort. While I despise you, as I do all humans, I would rather help you out and hurt those dame Hidden Leaf ninja that has kept me trapped for so many centuries. Besides, as I told you once before our lives are linked for now. Should you perish I would also die. Even if I could return after a time I dislike the idea of waiting for my chakra to gather once more and awakening in an unknown place."

Naruto thought this over for a moment. With the power of the nine-tailed fox Naruto would be unbeatable. But could he trust the fox? A literal demon? And did he have a choice with the Leaf village soon to be after him. Hunting him down as they tried to do today.
