Chapter 1: "Names"

All he had ever known was darkness. His room…cell was always filthy and lacked barely any light. He was only given enough light to make sure his vision didn't weaken. Although, considering the child's healing factor, this might not be an issue.

For most children, these circumstances would be terrifying. Children were supposed to be afraid of the dark. The darkness was what held the figures in the shadows and the truth that a child's mind couldn't even begin to comprehend.

This child was not afraid, though. No, he wasn't afraid for two reason. One, he couldn't fear something that he had known all his life. For him, it made more sense to fear the light. It was something so foreign to him that he couldn't possibly understand it. Two, he wasn't allowed to be afraid.

The masked people who took care of him didn't allow him to be afraid. Not only that, he wasn't allowed to show any form of emotion. Happiness would be scorned. Sadness would be punished. Anger would be beaten out of him.

Fortunately, that was not all that these mask wearing people taught him, though. No, they taught him so much more than that. They taught him everything. Each day was filled with lesson of words, actions, concepts, manners, and so much more. These masked people who took the name of animals drilled these concepts into him every day. His world was dedicated to learning.

Not only that, he was put through drills. He ran, punched, and kicked until he could not move his limbs. Movements called forms and katas were practiced each day. He was taught to move with a grace that no normal child could possibly possess.

Learn, train, and sleep. That was his life. Until today, that is…

No, today he was brought before a new man. This man did not wear a mask, but he was wrapped in bandages.

"…" The paled blond child with whiskers looked up to the aging scared man in front of him.

"Do you know why you're here child?" Danzo starred down at the child.

"…" The child continued to stare.

"You need to speak when your leader addresses you, child." Danzo stated.

"…No…I do not know why I am here…" The child answered simply

"You are here, because it is finally time for you to fulfill your role." Danzo explained. "Since you were born, you have been raised to be a sword. A sword that shall cut down all of Konoha's enemies."

"A sword is a weapon." The boy did what he knew. He stated facts. "It is a sharp blade used in combat. Usually for offensive purposes."

"Yes…" Danzo seemed pleased. "You are that. You are Konoha's greatest weapon."

"…" Stare. Blink. Stare.

"From today onward, I will be in charge of your training. I will sharpen you. Make you strong beyond reason." Danzo explained. "By the time I'm done with you, nothing will be able to hurt this village again."

"…And that…is my purpose…" The boy repeated. "I am a sword for the village?"

"Yes." Danzo nodded. "Tell me, child, what is your name?"

"…A name…what I am addressed by…" The boy thought for a moment. "Monster, jinchuuriki, demon, spawn, weapon, and now sword."

"I see…" Danzo stated. "From today onward, you are Kitsune."

"Kitsune…that is my name?" Kitsune questioned.

"From now on, yes." Danzo turned. "Now come. There is a lot of work to be done."

One year…That was how long Kitsune had been training under Danzo. It had been grueling torture. Each day, he was pushed to his breaking point. Knowledge was crammed into his head. Drugs to enhance his body was pumped into him. Physical training pushed him to the point of passing out each day.

If it were anyone other child, he could have broken long ago. Luckily, though, the Kyuubi that was sealed inside of him kept healing him. No matter how much the drugs tore apart his body or the training tore his muscles, Kitsune would be healed by merely a single night's rest.

He didn't know if it were a blessing or a curse. Each day was worse than the last. There was no end in sight. Part of him wanted to give up…

Until the day he was finally given a rest. On that day, Danzo lead him away from his dark depressing home. He was led through the base that he had lived in all his life. Then, it happened. One moment, he was standing in the dark. Then the next…

He was in the light.

It was so beautiful. Light filled the forest that they were in. The trees and leaves gleamed. The grass below them swayed in the wind. Kitsune had only read and heard about these things. This was so much different than what he heard.

This was life.

But…but what really got to Kitsune was what above them. The wide blue sky was filled with puffy white clouds. The sun shone brightly. It was so vast and wide. It was like… freedom. Even as Kitsune continued to follow Danzo through the forest, he continued to observe the sky. It was enamoring.

After a while, Danzo stopped. Kitsune stood behind Danzo and waited. The old shinobi looked at the young blond and spoke. "Kitsune, we are now standing above the Hokage Monument. Here, all four of the Hokages have been carved into stone."

"I know, Danzo-sama." Kitsune nodded as he looked up at his instructor. "I have been instructed about it many times before."

"Yes, but there is a difference between that, and the actual view." Danzo stepped to side and pointed behind him. "This is the great village of Konohagakure."

Kitsune peered down at the bustling village. The buildings stood tall. The people were moving all around. It was such a different sight then everything that Kitsune was used to. The people he usually saw were silent and dark. This was loud and bright.

But…but that wasn't what interested him right now. No, right now, he was still thinking about the sky. The beautiful sky that spoke of freedom consumed his thoughts right now. While the city below him was beautiful in its own right, it still represented containment, walls, cages, and everything that had ever restricted him.

To Kitsune, the feeling of freedom was so much more…invigorating.

"This is what your goal is." Danzo instructed. "This is what you are meant to protect. These people. Those buildings. This village. It is your only duty as a shinobi. You will protect this with your dying breath."

"Yes, Danzo-sama." Kitsune said dutifully. Nevertheless, he didn't agree. While he had been raised and trained for the sole purpose of protecting Konoha, that was not what he wanted. No, Kitsune now had a different inspiration. Something that would push him as he went back into the darkness and was pushed to his breaking point.

He want to see that sky again. He wanted the feeling that it gave him. He wanted to be free.

After his first view of the village and the sky, Kitsune was pushed to train his chakra. He trained to unlock the power inside of him. Each day he learned how to control the vast quantities of energy that was coursing through his veins.

Most of the ninjustu he learned was too difficult for the young boy to do. The only ninjustu that Kitsune could successfully do at first was the Kage Bushin. It was a clone technique that made physical copies of the user. Because Kitsune had so much chakra and the technique required only on hand motion, it was easy for the boy.

While it was not exactly what Danzo wanted, the old man was pleased. This technique allowed Kitsune to learn at an incredibly high rate. When a clone was dispelled, its memories returned to Kitsune. To many, this would seem like a perfect way to learn chakra control, techniques, and hand seals while at still training his real body.

That is, until the mental backlash took its toll. Many nights Kitsune went to sleep with a terrible migraine. None more so than tonight. Danzo had put him through the ringer, and Kitsune had passed out as soon as he returned to his dark room/cell.

This night was different, though. As soon as he fell asleep, Kitsune woke up. Only, it was in his head…

Kitsune now stood in a sewer. There was water up to the boy's knees. Pipes lined the wide walls. That wasn't what drew Kitsune's attention, though. What really drew his attention was the massive cage. It stood as high as the Hokage Monument. Kitsune was sure that he could easily walk in between the massive red bars. But he doubted this cage was for something as small as him…

"Oh? My flesh bag of a container finally comes to greet me after all these years…" A dark chuckle echoed from behind the bars. "Why don't you step closer?"

"Because I'm not completely stupid." Kitsune stayed where he was. "You would kill me, Kyūbi."

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" A giant fox with nine tails and orange red fur appeared behind the bars. "So you aren't a complete fool. Then you will know that it would be smart to release me now. If you do so now, I will make your death painless."

"I would prefer to live a little bit longer." Kitsune stared up at the demon.

"Then when I'm freed, I'll make sure your death is as slow and painful as possible." The Kyūbi no Yoko growled.

"I'll look forward to it." Kitsune noted.

"Hmm…You're a cocky little shit, aren't ya?" Kyūbi noted.

"I don't believe so." Kitsune stated. "If you do escape, then I don't have any doubt that you would kill me painfully. It's more of a fact than anything else."

"…You are a strange human, brat. No fear, even the face of an all-powerful demon." Kyūbi's red eyes glared down at the boy.

"…You're the first person to refer to me as a human." Kitsune noted. "It's…nice…"

The Kyūbi rolled his eyes and laid down his head on his human-like paws. "Nice? I ain't nice, kid. You're bag of bones and water. A human. Something that needs to be exterminated."

"Possibly." Kitsune admitted. "My experiences with humans haven't been great, but I've heard that there are upsides. And to be referred to as one…It's relieving."

"Don't be proud of being a vermin. It's disgusting." Kyuubi snorted. "What do you want, ningen? If you aren't here to free me, then I don't want you around."

"I do not know how I even got here, although Danzo-sama might be happy…" Kitsune mentioned. "But I think that I'll be forced to be here until I wake up. Until my body and mind heals."

"UNGRATEFUL BRAT!" Kyūbi roared. "It is I that heals you, don't act like its natural. You may be a tougher than average human, but you are still weak! If it were not for me, you would have died long ago from all the crap that they have been pumping into you…"

"…" Kitsune paused for a moment. "Thank you."

"…What?"

"Thank you for saving my life so many times." Kitsune repeated. "I don't particularly want to die, and you are correct. If you were not sealed inside of me, then I would not be alive now."

"You act like you have something to live for." Kyūbi grunted. "From what I've seen, you have no purpose or joy in life. Each day is one filled with pain and suffering. I'm healing you for my own purposes, not for you. But I am surprised that you haven't just given up yet."

"Shinobi endure." Kitsune responded. "I am a shinobi, so I endure."

"Endure your pitiful existence?" Kyūbi seemed amused. "Why? For the sake of your village?"

"No, because I want to be free." Kitsune responded. "I want to be like the sky. Untouchable and uncontained."

"That is a funny thing for my jailer to say." Kyūbi glared. "To speak of freedom while containing someone else."

"…Fair point…" Kitsune nodded. "Then I shall find a way to set you free too. That way we both can be free."

"Foolish human. If I'm freed, then you die." Kyūbi laughed. "It's part of being a jinchūriki."

"I will find a way. For my comrade and friend, I will find a way." Kitsune argued.

"COMRADE?! FRIEND?!" Kyūbi roared. "I should kill you for saying such things! No human is a friend of mine, just because I keep you alive doesn't mean we're friends!"

"But it's the closest thing I know to friendship." Kitsune argued. "You call me human and treat me like one. It's more than I can say for anyone else, Kyūbi-san."

"Arg…Your presence annoys me…" Kyūbi groaned.

"I apologize, Kyūbi-san" Kitsune obviously didn't feel apologetic.

"Tsk…" Kyūbi laid he head on his front hand-like paws. "You're a strange human, I'll give you that brat. None of my other containers acted like you."

"You had containers before me?" Kitsune found himself intrigued. "Will you tell me more?"

"And why would I want to do that?"

"Because if you don't, I'll just annoy you about it until you give in." Kitsune answered. "If you just tell me now, you'll save time and prevent a huge headache."

"…"

"…Should I start annoying you now?"

"…Fine!" Kyūbi roared. "I'll tell you, annoying brat! But I won't do it a second time, so you better pay attention!"

"Thank you, Kyūbi-san."

After that night, Kitsune had continued to speak with the Kyūbi at night. After he spent the whole day training, he would journey into his mind and talk with the demon sealed in him. It took some coaxing, but slowly, Kitsune got the giant fox to open up somewhat.

They spoke of many things. A typical topic was humanity's role in the world. A rarer topic was the Kyūbi's vast history. Now those were informative conversations. Kitsune doubted even some of the smartest people in the world knew some of the facts that Kyūbi shared after a little prodding. Who knew that there was once a beast called the Jūbi and that the Sage of the Six Paths was real.

There was one conversation that meant most to the young shinobi, however…

"My real name is Naruto?" Kitsune asked.

Kyūbi rolled his eyes. "What? You really thought your name was Kitsune? How stupid are you?"

"I never thought that…But I never knew…" Kitsune…Naruto paused. "Who would name their child fiskcake?"

Kyubi snorted. "That's Kushina for you. She's a weird one…"

"Kushina was your previous container…" Naruto realized. "And…my mother?"

"Yep."

"And her surname was…Uzumaki."

"Yep."

"So my name is…Uzumaki Naruto…" Naruto's expression seemed to brighten up. "And I wasn't abandoned. My parents…They loved me…right?"

"I guess. They seemed pretty protective of you went I stabbed them with one of my tails." The Kyūbi smiled cruelly.

Naruto stared at the Kyūbi for a moment. "I see…Tell me…what exactly happened to them?"

"And why the hell would I tell you that?"

"Because you have nothing better to do." Naruto answered.

"…"

"…"

"Damn, gaki, I may hate you, but you make some excellent arguments." Kyūbi sighed. "Alright, it happened like this. Some masked wanna be Madara attacked right after you were born…"

Years began to pass. Many interesting things happened to Naruto as he continued his training and began to take missions. Most missions involved violently killing people. It wasn't like Naruto cared about killing people. He was told that killing Konoha's enemies was a good thing. The sight of a corpse never bothered Naruto.

There were limits, however.

One of Naruto's first missions involved merely watching and observing from the shadows. This was a rather simple task for a boy that was trained his entire life in the art of stealth. Watching what happened was the difficult part.

The Uchiha Massacre. Danzo had tasked Naruto/Kitsune with the task of observing Itachi as he worked and to make sure that everything went well. So, Naruto watched, and he instantly regretted it. There were…so many bodies. Men, women, and children were all killed. No one was spared…

Except for Itachi's brother. Uchiha Sasuke was allowed to live. Itachi instructed Sasuke to live on and to hate Itachi. Naruto instantly thought that was odd considering that everything Naruto was taught told Naruto that emotions were useless. How could hate give anyone power?

Considering who helped Itachi, however, Naruto could kind of understand. That man…the fake Madara according to the Kyūbi…assisted Itachi in his endeavor. Naruto couldn't even begin to understand the ping in his chest. Was it sadness? Anger? Hate? Naruto didn't know, but it was something.

But Naruto did know that these emotions were the weakness of shinobi. Hating a man that killed his parents wouldn't help Naruto in the slightest. So, he let whatever he felt go. There was nothing he could do about his parents now anyway…

"How could you let go of your anger so easily?" Kyūbi asked after everything was done.

'My anger will only hold me back.' Naruto answered mentally answered. 'Like all emotions, anger is a weakness. I will not let myself be held back by such weaknesses…'

"…You know what, gaki? I think I'm beginning to like you."

Another mission that really stood out in Naruto's mind. Well, actually, the simple assassination mission did not stand out at all. It was more of what happened after the mission that Naruto really remembered. After all, it wasn't all the time that one of the Sanin defeated you by trapping you under a toad.

"…" Naruto didn't make a sound. Despite his humiliating defeat and the many bruises and cuts from the short and completely one-sided battle, Naruto still ignored the pain. He had felt far worse.

"I'm surprised. Not many ten year olds can give me that much trouble." The unscathed Jiraiya noted with a smile. The large man with long white spiky hair seemed impressed even if Naruto never stood a chance.

"I'm not a normal child…" Kitsune answered.

"Meh…" Jiraiya ripped off Naruto's fox mask. "Let's get that off. I hate talking to people wearing these."

"What do you want? Are you here to kill me?" Naruto questioned as he looked up at the toad sage.

"What? Naw. Man...Danzo must have really messed with your head, brat." Jiraiya noted. "I just wanted to talk."

"And we couldn't do that in Konoha instead of you ambushing me in a forest?" Naruto questioned.

"You and I both know that Danzo would never let that fly." Jiraiya answered as he sat down next to Naruto's head. The boy was still trapped under the large toad and wouldn't be moving any time soon.

"…Yes, Danzo-sama would probably disapprove of my involvement with you unless it involved training…" Naruto stated.

"Training…That's all he has you do." Jiraiya frowned. "I've heard about everything you've gone through. That type of treatment…the hardcore training, the body enhancing drugs, the missions that would cause even hardened shinobi to crack…No person should go through that. Especially a child."

"I am Kanoha's sword." Naruto answered. "My suffering will bring happiness and safety to the entire village. Mathmatically, what Danzo-sama has done is correct. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of one simple child."

"Do the ends justify the means?" Jiraiya retorted. "I've done some pretty shitty stuff in my lifetime, but I have never abused a child like this. Hell, I don't think most shinobi villages, except maybe Kiri, has put a child through what you went through."

"Can you argue with the results?" Naruto responded. "A ten year old was able to fight off a Sanin for a short time."

"Kid, I was holding back. A lot. But…yes, you are very impressive." Jiraiya nodded. "Most Chunin would have troubles with you, I'll give you that. Your taijustu and ninjustu are incredibly impressive, and I don't think that genjustu will work on you too."

'That's thanks to the Kyūbi…' Naruto thought.

"But…" Jiraiya frowned. "To let this happen to a child…It shows just how bad our world is when the government allows this."

"I…have seen and heard what the other jinchūriki are like." Naruto argued. "They are either insane or monstrous. I would have suffered the same fate if it was not for Danzo-sama."

"You really don't hate Danzo?"

"…I may have went through pure hell, but I would prefere this hell compared to the hell of complete isolation that would have occurred otherwise." Naruto mentioned. "At least now I'm strong."

"Kami…He's brainwashed you good…" Jiraiya muttered.

"What do you want, Jiraiya-sama?" Naruto asked. "If you don't want to kill me, then you must want something else."

"Yeah, I wanted to offer you another option, but it appears…that it might already be too late for you…" Jiraiya mumbled.

"Then this has nothing to do with the fact that you're my godfather?" Naruto questioned.

"What?! How did you…"

"Danzo-sama told me the truth about everything (although I already knew about my parents). He didn't want me to abandon Konoha because I felt betrayed, so he told me the whole truth upfront." Naruto explained. "I know everything. How my parents died in the Kyubi attack. How he was sealed into me. How you abandoned me to go peep on women, and how the Hokage was forced to give me to him to appease the masses and the council."

"I…see…"

"Say what you want, but Danzo-sama has never lied to me."

"Yeah, he just deluded you with his version of the truth!" Jiraiya argued. "I have an information network to keep up. If that fails, then Konoha will be in danger."

"Then you sacrificed me for the good of the village as well. How are you different from Danzo-sama in that regard?"

Jiraya was silent.

"I thought so." Naruto closed his eyes. "Now will you please let me go? I need to meet my squad soon, and they will come looking if I'm late."

"Alright, gaki…" Jiraiya released Naruto. "I guess there's nothing I can do that will convince you to be my apprentice now…"

"No." Naruto looked up to the sky. "That would merely be trading one pair of shackles for another. I want more…"

"What do you mean?"

"It means that while I don't hate Danzo-sama, I have no love for him either." Naruto responded. "If he would die tomorrow, I would feel nothing."

"I see…"

"But that does not mean that I will ever travel with you." Naruto stated. "You made your choice ten years ago. You decided that you want nothing to do with me, so I am deciding to do the same with you."

"I thought so…" The toad sage sighed.

"But…I would like to make a request. From godson to godfather…"

"What is it?"

"I…would be pleased to have a picture of my parents." Naruto mentioned as he stood. Despite his view of emotions as a weakness, Naruto still liked to think about his parents. Part of him wondered what his life would have been like if they lived…

No. He couldn't live in what could have been. Still…he wanted a picture. It would be proof that at least someone had cared for him at some point in his life.

"Okay…I can do that…"

"Why didn't your accept the old man's offer?" Kyūbi questioned after Naruto fell asleep that night.

"Because he merely gave the illusion of freedom." Naruto answered up to the large beast. "I would still be chained to Konoha. If I traveled with him, I would be only fooling myself into thinking that I was free. I would rather live in truth than hold onto an illusion."

"And his abandoning of you didn't influence your decision?" Kyūbi questioned.

"…Possibly." Naruto answered. "As I said, he already had his chance for me to travel with him. But I am sincere about what I said. I refuse to be deluded from the truth."

"Most humans would gladly live a lie if it makes them happy." The giant fox answered.

"Well, I'm not most humans." Naruto responded.

"Once again, excellent argument…" The Kyūbi chuckled.

"Thank you, Kyūbi…" Naruto paused. "You know, you never told me you're real name. You once mentioned that 'Kyūbi' is merely a title, yet you refused to give me your name."

"As if a worthless human is worthy of knowing my name!" Kyūbi rolled his eyes.

"Then I will have to prove my worth." Naruto mentioned nonchalantly. "Perhaps when I figure out how to free you without killing me, then you will tell me your name."

"Bah, I don't even care anymore." Kyubi looked away. "If you release me, then the humans will just keep hounding me and trying to seal me up in a less amusing human. I'm fine with staying with you for now. Besides, you'd die if you didn't have me around to save your ass."

"So you do care about me…" Naruto gave the smallest of smiles.

"Shut up! The only reason I tolerate you is because you amuse me! There's no other reason!"

"I care about you as well, Kyubi-san" Naruto nodded at the beast.

"...Kurama." The Kyubi spoke again. "My name is Kurama, and don't add the stupid san thing. I hate hearing that from you."

"I see…" Naruto closed his eyes contently. "It's nice to meet you, Kurama."

There was one more mission that stood out. It was different from everything Naruto had ever experienced. He couldn't really explain it, but…it changed his short life.

Because it was his last mission as a Konoha shinobi…

"Hello." A woman's voice spoke to Naruto as he moved through the street of a harbor village. The voice was chilling. It felt like a cool breeze had washed over him.

The boy in ANBU armor paused on his trek to the meeting place of his squad. He turned to see a beautiful woman sitting on a chair in front of a store. The woman had long light blue hair that feel down to her back like silk. Her face was that of an angel. The woman's skin was flawless, her lips were full and pouty, and her cold blue eyes bore into him.

"…Do…I know you?" Naruto questioned.

"No, not yet, although I probably do seem familiar. I know you for sure, though, Naruto-kun." The woman smiled. Her beautiful dark blue dress hugged her curves and showed a figure that most woman would kill for. Some part of Naruto had to question why no one was paying attention to her. Most men would be drooling over this gorgeous woman.

Naruto froze. "How do you know my name?"

"I know a lot of things, Naruto-kun." The woman smiled. "I know about you, and your deepest desire."

"My desire?"

"Yes, you want freedom." The woman's eyes seemed to light up a little. "The shackles of your village fill you with disgust. That's why you stare at the sky. You wish to reach for the sky and be one with it. You want to have complete freedom."

"How…"

"Why, you told me, Naruto-kun." The woman gestured for him to come closer. Naruto couldn't resist moving to the beautiful woman. "Each silent prayer and unspoken dream told me of your deepest desire. I heard it all, and I found it all to be so…beautiful."

"I…"

"I have never heard someone speak with such passion about the sky. I have never heard anyone want to be one with the sky like you. I have never been so moved by the words of a man…" The woman extended her arm and caressed his cheeks.

"I don't understand."

"Of course you don't." The woman laughed gently. "I'm sorry I haven't explained anything. You see, my name is Azura, and I want to make you an offer."

Naruto stared at the beautiful woman. He suddenly realized where he saw her…or at least he realized how this woman made him feel. It felt like freedom. "What…what is it?"

"I want you to be my chosen." Azura smiled gently. "You have a cold exterior, but a hidden passion so great that it could burn the sun. You have an affinity to the wind that no one else could possibly understand. You're perfect for this. No one else is worthy to be my equal."

"Your chosen?" Naruto asked in a small whisper.

"Yes!" The taller woman knelt down to Naruto's height. "You will be my chosen. You have the freedom you always wished for. You will have a power that no one else could possibly touch. Not even my southern brother's chosen will be able to compete with your potential. All you have to do is accept."

"…There's a catch, isn't there?" Naruto inquired.

"I love your perception, Naruto-kun." Azura chuckled lightly. "Yes, there will be responsibilities to being a chosen. Don't worry, though. They won't ever compromise your future morals, and you will never have to hurt someone you care about. Unfortunately, I can't tell you anything more, because I'm pressing the rules as it is."

"And…if I refuse this offer?" Naruto asked.

"Then you will be stuck. You will never obtain what you want most. Absolute freedom will never be obtainable. Happiness will be a fleeting dream. The sky will forever be out of your reach." Azura stated with a sad look.

"I…" Naruto gave the woman a long stare. He decided. "For some reason, I believe you."

"I'm so glad, Naruto-kun." Azura's eyes lit up as she stood up. "But I know that this is a hard choice. I will give you ten days. I will remain here in front of this store. If you show up, then I shall take you to your new home. Although…I doubt that the others will be pleased with the return of what you contain, but I'm sure they'll get over it after they see you in action."

"And…my new home will be…"

"Earthland." Azura smiled.

"Earthland…" Naruto whispered.

"Yes, and there, you will have everything you ever wanted. Freedom. Family. Hope." Azura gestured to the sky above them. "Because I will give you the power that will secure all of these."

"And that is?" Naruto's voice was barely audible, but she still heard it.

"The power to slay gods."

Oh, beautiful heavens don't taunt me so

With the freedom and power that you do show

One day calm, and the next full of fury

Your greatness awes me in a hurry

Please accept this humble life

That you may calm your terrible strife

And if this ends your tearful cry

Give me the strength to touch the sky
