Chapter 9 – Unsealing New Life

 

“Naruto, come here.” Kyuubi motioned to the boy bringing him out of his games.  Naruto obliged and was next to him in an instant.

“What is Tou-san?” he asked excitedly.

“There is one last thing you need to do before we can both be free.”

This immediately made the boy’s gaze intense.  Freedom-ever since he’d woken with this new life it had been the most important thing; next to his Tou-san that is.  He nodded his head.  He would do whatever his father asked him to. 

Suddenly the landscape changed again.  They were in a sewer and Naruto was standing alone on the other side of prison bars.

“Father?” he called looking around wildly, this place was familiar-what was it…?  His eye lit up in knowing and then went dim.  This was where the humans had sealed Tou-san.  This was his prison.

‘Our prison…’ he remembered the villages hated glares and snarled.  Father’s pain was as much as his own.  They would pay for it-locking his Tou-san up-for beating Naruto and shunning him.  He hissed under his breath.

“Kit.”

Naruto stepped forward when he heard his Father’s voice.  “What do I have to do?” he asked ready for anything.  The demon behind the bars smiled.  Naruto felt no fear for the great fox.

“You see that paper?”

“Hai!”

“Tear it away then you and I will escape together.”

Naruto looked at the seal above.  Was it really that simple?  He gave his Tou-san a foxy grin.  “Yes sir!” The enormous fox nodded and his tails crept through the cage rapping around his son.  Naruto was lifted into the air right in front of the seal; as his hand reached for it and began to tear a voice called out to him.  It wasn’t his Tou-san.

“Naruto!”

He turned around and was confused; a man with wild blond hair, though not as long as his Tou-san’s, stood below.  He wore a long white coat.

Something about the man stirred in Naruto’s memories.

‘…the best Hokage ever…’

“Who are you?” Naruto asked curiously, while behind the bars a killing intent radiated.

“Yondaime!  COME HERE SO I CAN KILL YOU!!!”

His fathers voice boomed, all but the tail that held the little fox boy was thrashing. 

“An invitation like that is hardly something I’d take.  I think I’ll stay here, thanks.”

“Yondaime…?” Naruto wondered out loud.  Though he was frightened of his father’s mood, it wasn’t directed at him so he felt no worry.

“I’m The Forth Hokage Naruto.” Minato said taking a step closer.  Naruto’s eyes narrowed and he hoped from his perch in his fathers grasp.

“Naruto!”

“You,” the small kitsune’s eyes glowed an ominous blue.  “You’re the one who did this to Tou-san.”
