1 Freedom

"... This doesn't seem to be a dream," I said softly while looking at the water which showed my reflection. I seemed to have been reborn as the 9-tail fox, which seemed to have died, and as its body reformed I have replaced its body.

The old memories of the 9 tail fox were in my head, and I knew this was the Naruto world. It was weird, one moment I was working half asleep, and the next moment I was a mask of chakra gathering to take the form of a fox.

Shaking my head, I went on to stretch my body. This was a new world, I wanted to enjoy life and not be so forced I work that I forgot how to live.

'Kurma is knowledgeable, good thing I got everything known... Well, I can't do much within this form, I wonder if I can get a human form.' I thought before sitting down and crossing my arms, I was huge and taller than the whole forest.

'That's right, I remember that in the anime Kurma was working on something related to nuclear fusion... Sigh, if I didn't work so much then maybe I could have remembered.' I thought with a shake of my head,

From what I could remember, Kurama could enter Baryon Mode. In this state, similar to nuclear fusion, Kurama's chakra was consumed as raw materials to produce a new type of energy. When in use, it dramatically boosted Kurama's reflexes, raw might, and chakra to extreme levels. 

This was something that would take place years into the future, the current Kurama knew nothing about this. This Baryon Mode was not simple, it needed a high level of chakra control and if not mastered could kill me. It was like burning one's lifespan for a boost of power

"If I could master this, could I reform my body, compress it into the form of a human?" I said to myself before taking a deep breath and began to try and do this

This would be for the best, one day Madara would come looking for him and try to control him. The sooner he could get free and be able to break free of his control the better

It was hard to get used to the feel of chakra control, even with the past host of the body memory, even so, this was not my body, a body of chakra that I had quickly got the hang of.

Time passed, and months passed. I went from 300+ meters to 290 meters in height. It was tricky, but using my past life knowledge of nuclear fusion, and the knowledge of this world that quickly came back to me,

But this seems to be my limit, I felt like I got stronger, about 3 times stronger. But that power wouldn't last as I would grow tired of holding that state. Sighing, I tried to explore the place I was, I tried my best to avoid any humans from seeing me

'There are many things I want to work on, natural energy is something I want to work on... Damn, what a pain. I don't want to be sealed away within someone.' I thought while heading to the mountains, where I went into hiding and returned to my mediation,

It was boring, all I could do was stay away from the outside world and try my best to get stronger, I didn't need food or water, so days passed, followed by weeks and even months.

A year could have gone by if I didn't sense something, I looked at the two brothers who were heading over. One with blonde hair and the other with silver-gray hair.

"he was right, it was around these parts." the blonde-haired brother said with a cold smile while looking at the 9 tail fox, which was on high alert.

'Who is this he?' I thought in confusion, who could have told them? I made sure to hide myself well, but it seems I should move around more and not stay in one spot.

The two brothers talked for some time before they jumped towards me while waving handsets. My eyes widened as I fell under some illusion, the two brothers jumped, wanting to land on top of me to finish the illusion.

'They came to try and capture me...' With a roar, I broke free from the illusion, swallowing the two siblings. I was stunned for a moment as I didn't mean to do that, but whatever. What's done is done,

I went on to find a new place, this time an island or something of the kind. Walking on water, I was able to find such places, and I went on to dig a cave to sit back and relax.

But as days passed, my stomach felt weird. I tried ignoring this, maybe eating those two humans was going to have some side effects. But as time passed, I couldn't take it anymore and tried to see what's the problem

But this wasn't simple, but I was able to create eyes within my stomach to see what was happening, and there I saw the two brothers feeding off my body, the two were stunning seeing my eye which had rage written all over it.

I was enraged, being seen as some monster and a source of power was enraging. With a cough, I began trying to cough these two out. Hands formed within my stomach, grabbing these two and dragging them up to my mouth, where I spit the two out.

My claw moved as I tried to crush the two, but my chakra suddenly appeared on their body, strengthening their strength many times. I noticed the whiskers on their faces. I felt like I could take it back if I wished, I could even control it. But I froze and watched them quickly run away,

'... So long as my chakra exists, then I shall exist. If I can learn to better control that chakra they took, they could be my clone or something. I should seek out animals to rest them on.' I thought as I watched them disappear before I disappeared.

I went on to find a new island, where I ate a few animals. A few weeks later, I couched the animals up after they had eaten a good amount of my chakra.

They wanted to run, but my chakra which they had eaten had fused with their very blood. It was hard, but I slowly got the hang of this. Controlling the animals, and to some degree even their mind. It's like my will could overwrite their wills,

Happy with this, I went on to eat more animals and coughed them up. This way I could have an army at my side, which I could control.

Time passed, and soon I got a new guest. Annoyed, I got up while looking to see who it was. There I saw a black-haired man, who had red samurai armor. This man looked at me with his red eyes which had a red pattern

"You have all that power yet it's wasted away here, Your power can only be truly put to use at the hands of the Uchiha clan." He said coldly, and with those words, I jumped and opened mouth mouth, launched my tail best booms at him

But he shot into the sky, as a giant blue avatar warrior appeared, cutting through his tail beast ball while flying towards me.

I was not in my compressed state, it took time for me to enter that state. This just happened, catching me off guard. So I wanted to flee, but he wouldn't allow me.

I wanted to avoid eye contact at all costs, but one mistake was all that was needed for me to be trapped within an illusion, falling under his control, so I became a puppet, taken to the hidden leaf village where I was forced to fight alongside Madara against Hashirama,

But Hashirama was a monster, with me and Madara fighting, Although I couldn't fight at full power, Hashirama defeated both of us, killing Madara.

Struggling to my feet, I glared at Madara's lifeless body before looking at Hashirama, I tried to leave but tree roots appeared, wrapping around him, and suppressing my chakra, and since I was chakra, this weakened me greatly.

Hashirama had a wood release, and it was the main reason he could beat me. Without this, even under Madara's control, we could have won

"Let me go, I have no interest in your conflict," I said while trying to break free, but Hashirama who was heavily injured shook his head

"I'm sorry, your power is just too great. If you were to walk free, another Madara might use you to attack the hidden leaf." Hashirama said with a downcast look, I glared at Hashirama. I chose to leave. I chose to put aside my rage for being used as a weapon,

My size slowly began to shrink, and my orange fur began to take on a hint of red. I was weakened and a huge amount of my chakra was used by Madara to keep up with Hashirama's crazy amount of chakra, Since it was by force, he wasted more of my energy

The roots cracked as I began to break free, Hashirama's eyes widened seeing this. He knew I was currently in a weakened state, so how was I showing strength above the state when I was with Madara?

Hashirama made hand seals and from the sky, a gigantic Torii, slammed down on my neck and 9 tails, arms, and legs, pinning me to the ground.

"... I understand that I'm in the wrong. You wish to be free, yet i'm doing this to you. You have all right to be wrong. But for my village, i'm willing to cut down my dear friend." Hashirama said while lowering his head, I could only grit my teeth at him, and soon Hashirama brought his wife who stepped forward to have me sealed inside her

"This is unpleasant for both of us..." Mito Hashirama's wife said softly, but she was cut off by my cold glare. I was boiling badly, so mad that my chakra was boiling

"You will regret this, that I promise upon my life." My voice sounded like the devil himself, sending a chill down Mito's spine, and she had reasons to feel that way. And she knew it, was the bigger man, but no more.

I closed my eyes and went on to watch Mito'slife, with nothing to do but to watch her or meditate, watching her was the only thing stopping me from going mad.

I also tried controlling my chakra in the outside world, but I was too weak. The seal was too powerful, so I had to work harder to grow stronger, So months went by.

Mito at times would lose control of her emotions, giving me a chance for my chakra to swallow her, and leading to her going berserk. If only I could control her, then things would be better. Anyways, Hashirama was always there to stop her, so he waited for Hashirama to grow weak

"I sense lately you have been up to something... Is it because of this war?" Mito said as she looked at me, It has been 12 years yet she looked as young as ever.

"Mito, I warned you. In this war, There you shall see all your loved ones die," I said coldly, to which Mito just calmly looked at him, in these 12 years, she had learned to control her emotions

"I want to see if you can remain so calm once everything around you is gone," I said softly while closing my eyes to seemly sleep, 12 long years was forced to remain in this prison. My hatred will hit this village hard

"..." Mito didn't say anything and simply left, but the next day Hashirama was killed by two brothers, the gold and silver brothers, the brothers whom I ate and coughed up. In shock and grief, Mito came to see me.

"That's Hashirama, now your sisters, brothers, friends, children, and so on. I told you, you will regret this." I said with a cold smirk, Mito looked at me in shock, which turned to hatred

"You monster." She roared at me as a huge Torii fill, pinning me to the ground, she walked up to me as tears fell down her eyes.

"i'm a monster? Try being sealed away for 12 years in this dark space. I was controlled and used as a tool, forced to fight. Yet after all that a choice to turn around and return to my island, yet what did you do? You made your bed, get ready to die alone, and upon your death I will be free, and this village will follow you." I said coldly, Mito gritted her teeth, but what could they have done?

The 9-tail fox was the strongest of the 9-tailed fox, Will there always be a Hashirama to top someone when they control it? They were in the wrong, but for the sake of the village what could they have done

"From the very start you saw me as a monster, never once bothered to speak to me or reason with me... So be it. We enemies, we made our beds. Now it's time to sleep." I said with a cold smile, before closing my eyes, ignoring her.

She stood there not knowing what to say, but she left, only for the following days to be hit with the news of many of her children's deaths, her friend's death, and so on.

In the end, even Hashirama died all with Me paying things from the shadows. Mito stood before me, her eyes slightly blank.

"One last person remains, that Tsunade... Every Senju is almost gone. I will have your clan disappear as well. Slowly, this village would lose everything, and be left with nothing. The very thing you sealed me away to protect is why it would fall... Isn't that funny?" I asked coldly, but she suddenly dropped to her knees

"Please, don't touch my grandson. I will do anything, even take my own life." She cried, to which I sneered coldly. She looked up and saw that I had transformed, I had taken on a human appearance and stood there with my red eyes looking coldly at her.

"Then be my slave, allow my will to take over your body, I want your body," I said stunning her,

"If I break free I will be hunted down, if you die and i'm reborn, I will be hunted down. I want your body, I want to enjoy the life you stole from me, and she can live." I said calmly, Mito was stunned for a time before she nodded slightly while forming a hand seal

"i'm guessing you could have broken free long ago, so you chose to stay for this reason... Form this seal, it will keep you from breaking your word," She said too which I did, as I knew she wasn't lying. The seal blocking me suddenly disappeared, allowing me to move freely within this seal.

"Time to switch..." I said calmly, as I blinked and found myself waking up in Mito's body. I looked around for some time before I laughed, I was free, free once again.
