"This is awkward."

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO ASKED TO TALK! NOW SPEAK!"

"A-ah, right. So first of all, I'd like to apologize."

"..."

"..."

"WHAT!"

"Yes, I understand that you're the one who attacked the village and killed my parents, but from what I've read, you're the one provoked first. Had Madara Uchiha not put you under his control and Hashirama not sealed you, none of it would have happened."

"I DO NOT WANT YOUR PITY BRAT!"

"IT'S NOT PITY!" yelled Naruto for the first time, stunning Kurama.

"YOU WERE TAKEN AWAY FROM YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FOX CLAN! YOU USED TO BE THE HEAD OF THE FOX SUMMONS, YET YOU WERE TAKEN AWAY AND HAVE SPENT OVER 100 YEARS ALONE! LIKE ME! I TOO HAVE SPENT MY WHOLE LIFE ALONE, AND AT FIRST, I BLAMED YOU! But now I know it wasn't your fault. I don't know what happened the day I was born, and I haven't completely forgiven you for killing my parents, but I do want to hear your part, and I definitely do not want to treat you as a monster or a weapon."

"I am a being of hatred, I am a MONSTER, brat."

"No, if I read correctly, you're a being of Chakra. Remember when I felt your chakra, and then you suppressed it? Sure, there was hatred, but also there was loneliness and sorrow. It was the first time I saw you as a being, and I was ashamed of what I thought of you. So again, I am sorry, please accept my apology."

"... What else are you here to talk about?"

"Ah... I wanted to extend a hand of friendship. I know you hate humans, and by extension, me, and as much as I want to, I can't release you as you'll go on to destroy the village, where people important to me, and many innocent people live. So, trying to make this place less lonely, and coming to terms with you, I want to be friends with you."

"... NO!"

"... Please?"

"AND WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU?"

"Alright then, don't. However, I want you to not suppress yourself. I'll share my senses so you can see what's happening outside, and hear everything. I won't make promises, I will just prove it to you. I want a world where no one suffers like I did, and that includes you and other jinchurikis, like the one I met. So please, accept it."

"... Fine. Don't think you can sway me brat. AND TALK LIKE YOUR AGE, NOT LIKE SOME OLD GEEZER WHO HAS SEEN THE WHOLE WORLD!"

"WHO'RE YOU CALLING AN OLD GEEZER?"

"YO- YOU DAMN BRAT!"

"FURBALL!"

"DUMBASS!"

"STINKY TAILS!"

"MY TAIL ISN'T STINKY YOU STUPID IDIOT!"

For a moment, there was silence. Then Naruto burst into laughter.

"Anyways, what's your name?"

"...What?"

"I mean, you must have some name, right? It can't be Kyubi."

"... I will tell you when I trust you."

---End---

'This damn brat...' "What else do you need help with?"

"Right, I wanted to ask you, what should I do about this Gato?"

"Huh?"

"He's... he's tormenting people. I don't want him to continue doing that..." Naruto said in a sad tone.
