'Narwuto Uzumaki.' 

'Cool...'

'Umm...what's your name, Mr. Fox?'

The fox lightly cringes at the name 'I am the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the Nine Tailed Fox. You didn't know...?'

'Know what?'

'You never heard of the attack of the Nine Tailed Fox?'

'No, no one ever twold me about that?'

'Really?...Strange... how old are you, kid?'

'Umm...four!' Naruto responds cutely, holding up four of his chubby fingers.

The Nine Tailed Fox remained quiet, scanning his eyes over the features of the child standing in front of him.

Naruto shifts his weight from one foot to the other, gently swaying his body. He lifts his gaze up from the floor, 'Hey, Mr. Fox? Are you going to tell me about the a-atwack?

'It's attack, and I'll tell you about it later,' the fox responds.'

'Oh. Okway!' 

A silence settles over the fox and the kid. 

'Hey kid, do you remember how you got here?'

'No, not really. I was running away frwom some scawry peopwle, and when I got home, I fell asweep.'

'Why were you running away from people? Did you know them?'

Naruto rocks back and forth from the tips to the heels of his feet ,'I rwan away 'cause they wewr hurting me, but I don' know what I did to them...they call me lots of mean names sometwimes...like 'monsterw' and 'd-d-demon', but what d-d-did I do?!' 

Tears start to roll down Naruto's cheeks. He vigorously wipes them away, but they keep falling.

the Nine Tailed Fox watches the scene that has unfolded in front of him. He puts the pieces of the puzzle together. He gasps in shock, mentally bashing himself in the head for his stupidity. How could he not notice!? The kid was literally stand in front of him! He was the carbon copy of the one one and only Minato Namikaze,  Yondaime (or as he liked to call him, Blondaime), The Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure. 

Naruto, who had stopped crying a while ago, was silently watching the fox have a mental argument with himself. 

'Hey, Mr. Fox..?'

'What, kid?'

'Are you okway?'

'I'm fine. Do you know who your father is?'
