*The style I'm using for writing is a little strange, it will mostly be first person from Naruto's point of view but also third person from other's simultaneously*

Drip, drip, drip

That was the noise I awoke to, well awoke is a strong word. Stood up from the pool of water I found my self in was more accurate.

"Urgh where am I." 

"Your mindscape."

"Oh, thanks. Wait a minute."

I quickly scrambled to my feet, water splashing as I moved. "Kyuubi...."

"Hm I'm surprised you can even put that together consider how low your intelligence was." the beast said towering above me, even behind its cage, its voice echoed off of every wall in this... I don't know, mind I guess.

"Sooooooo.... nice to meet you." I said trying to ease the incredible amount of fear I was currently feeling.

"Let's cut to the chase. That system said you were Ashura's reincarnation, correct?" It asked voice becoming slightly less condescending.

"Um yeah. I think so. Don't really no what that means but.." I tried to say.

"That does not matter, what does matter is that you are his reincarnation. You see the last of your incarnations was the one to trap me in the first place." It's voice taking on a hint of anger and a small amount (at least in terms of the Kyuubi at least) killing intent flooding the room.

"S-sorry about that." I said straining under the weight of the murderous feeling in the room.

"Apologies. I'm still not too happy about being locked away" all killing intent suddenly evaporating from the room.

"It's ok, I wouldn't want to be locked away either.... Hey, your a lot nicer than they said you were at school." I stated mildly confused about the entire situation.

"Not surprising, those damn sharingan have always made me more... aggressive." It stated.

"Huh, what does that mean?" I asked confusing evident in my voice.

"The first was Indra, Ashura's brother, he tried to control me in order to make himself a Jinchuriki. Then came Madara, Indra's last incarnation, he wanted me as a weapon to battle against your last incarnation. Then was that masked one, he may have claimed to be Madara but he clearly wasn't. Though he was still strong enough to drive me into a rage. I... I have to apologise for that night as well. I was the one who killed your parents that night." It said this time becoming sad.

I took a moment to think about that. Did it deserve my forgiveness? I mean it killed my parents. It's the reason the whole village hates me. No I can't think like that, that's almost as stupid as them thinking I am it.

"I- I can't say I completely forgive you for that but thank you for being honest at least. More importantly though, why are you asking for my forgiveness? The system said you hated me." I asked really hoping for some context to everything going on.

"I- Well- You see. Until I saw that it said you were his reincarnation I did. I hated that I was trapped here. But after seeing that, I couldn't Ashura was kind, and even if he locked me away I have to admit that Hashirama was as well. Everything I have seen from you indicates that you are as well, so I am willing to put my pride behind me. It also stated you could make me whole again, I would like that." It answered honest sadness clear on it's face.

"Wait, you knew Ashura? Does that mean you knew the sage of Six paths as well?" I asked, any fear of the being I was talking to replaced by interest in the fact that it might literally know God.
