Well... Here's the deal

He felt very uncomfortable as he rolled around his bed. A bed which was supposed to be 'comfortable'. The seller in that shop had guaranteed him that much when he had bought It at the very least.

What was supposed to be warm and one of the best experiences of the morning, instead felt very wet and cold - it was summer, even during the earliest hours of the day his body shouldn't be shivering in the slightest due to his own heritage working overtime and making him similar to a superhuman – even when compared to most shinobis.

Wind blew at him and just served to irritate him even more. The hard surface of his bed merely worked to double his exasperation and anger.

'I don't remember leaving the windows open, I never do that at night. They often affect the full-functionality of the barriers and formations I've put around the house and not to mention the flies which claim my fucking room as their home; this reminds me that I do need to make a bug-repelling seal!'

…

Ren felt his body fluctuate on something soft yet 'solid', a liquid of some sort perhaps? Odd, he didn't remember his bed coming with such features.

"The fuck?!"'

Ren's eyes were wide open as he rushed his way to standing up. He gasped for breath and one of his hands was put on his chest to give imaginary support and mental relief. He was suddenly reminded of what had happened.

'I thought I was a goner there. That chakra broke through all my seals and even my passive chakra protection as if it was butter…'

His next turn of action was to immediately channel chakra around his body to serve as protection. Then he proceeded to identify where in hell he was.

It was dark in the distance but he still somehow could see his surroundings perfectly. There was a dim light which came from a place he could not identify and he appeared to be in what resembled a sewer.

It was a sewer basically.

An eye twitched while he grimaced at his 'wonderful' luck.

God be damned, how did he end up in a sewer of all places?!

And while he might not be an expert on this topic, he sure knew that Konoha's were not this wide and huge. There were pipes which were not properly working. How did he know that you might ask?

He could hear some of them dripping water down. Speaking of water, the water levels in this sewer easily reached his knees. Finally noticing this a groan escaped his mouth.

"Great now I'm wet. I kind of liked those clothes I'm wearing y'know!"

Channeling even more chakra towards his feet and most importantly on the outside, he immediately soared upwards and his feet no longer were underwater and instead acted as if he was walking on the ground.

Water-walking was truly a gift to humanity; just like chakra. Ren nodded to himself while applying wind chakra on his clothes, quickly drying them before any permanent damage could be done to them.

[Come this way you red-furred monkey.]

A rough and brash voice thundered from every direction and gave Ren the fright of a lifetime. No one had made him feel this sort of pressure in his life before; no one. Not even the Third Hokage - though that might have to do with the fact that Hiruzen had no reason to use Killing Intent or even any sort of intent on him.

His attention was redirected elsewhere. He felt his shinobi senses tingle and much to his fortune, they were right.

A pipe broke down and water surged out of it and almost hit Ren with incredible pressure. Fortunately for him, he managed to dodge it last second and he was very glad he had done so. The water continued its journey and slammed into a wall, easily piercing it and forced its way to another section of this 'sewer'.

'Geez, this sewer definitely needs someone to come and fix it.'

Ren certainly did not want to go and look just where the water was going to continue its journey to. Then as if magic was at work, the broken pipe started to fix itself. For one, he knew that this was not the job of chakra.

'I'll be damned, am I really inside Naruto's mindscape? Just how did I end up inside of here…'

Ren was complete still for a moment and chakra surged inside of him. He closed his eyes and reopened them a moment later. He put his hands forward and smacked each side of his face with enough power to render an adult retarded.

"Alright."

He headed forward.

XxX

The Nine Tailed Fox yawned. Or to be precise the Yang side of the Nine Tails did.

Waiting for a certain red-haired primate to arrive in front of the accursed jail which prisoned him was taking a century, and that was coming from a millennia old chakra construct who had spent well over a century in such a situation much to his dismay.

He decided to spend his certainly not limited time tending to his royal and brilliant burnt-orange fur and tails. If you were to ask others who had seen him, they'd probably call him a mix between a fox and a rabbit, as his ears certainly did not resemble those of a fox more than they resembled the former.

'I liked my appearance better when I was one. At least back then I was much stronger, that fucking couple had to cheat and bring a fucking avatar of a concept into our fight.'

The scariest and the one characteristic the Kyuubi was the most-proud of about himself were his crimson slitted eyes. The amount of people of people he had driven into madness just using his eyes was uncountable.

It served them right. Couldn't a fox have at least one night's worth of sleep without being interrupted by shinobis?

Nice time it had been, then that ugly monkey by the name of Madara Uchiha had to come and interrupt his slumber…

He'd rather not speak about what had sparked the dark times he was forced to participate in with no ending in sight.

Imagine when he had seen his jinchuuriki talk to an Uzumaki. He had lost all hope when he'd heard that the Uzumaki had been wiped out of existence. Kushina was an exception, but she in no way wanted him to be free. Any other Uzumaki had been out of his reach for eternity… until now.

This Uzumaki however, seemed to be more than just what his eyes perceived. He had not walked around this planet for over a thousand years and just slept around doing nothing.

Alright he might've spent a long part of that just sleeping, but he was way more knowledgeable about stuff than any of these monkeys who dared to use chakra for what it was not fucking supposed to be used for!

So, using a moment of distraction from his vessel he had viciously lashed at the seal and took over his body for a split of a moment. Just enough to force Ren's consciousness to enter this sewer.

This Uzumaki was actually quite knowledgeable when it came to fuinjutsu, but that was not what he needed his presence for. It was something deeper; he already knew that there was no way he could convince Ren to release him from Naruto. That would kill the boy immediately.

He required his presence for a completely difference reason. Something only he could actually achieve for himself, something he could not entrust to his dumb and foolish jinchuuriki in a lifetime.

Something related to the harbinger of death.

[Ah, look who's here! Just who I wanted to meet.]

The Kyuubi's jaw moved downwards a bit and revealed very sharp and intimidating fangs which could easily tear a person apart in one sweep if required. A tiny red figure entered his vision and the grin widened even further.

xXx

If there was anything shinobi were afraid of, it was the unknown.

Ren too, was also afraid of the unknown.

Was there are reason not to?

The unknown could be anything and as of this moment it was the Nine Tails.

A being so strong it could sweep mountains aside with just a tail. A being that could smash buildings apart with a single movement of its claws. A being that could launch a ball of highly-concentrated energy straight into a village and completely decimate it.

In front of such raw and destructive power what could a brat like him possibly amount to?

Heh, it was time to bullshit his way out of this. He was unsure what kind of effect forcefully leaving Naruto's mindscape could possibly give the blond, so the only thing he could do right now was do as the unknown said.

There was no way he was going to risk injuring his best friend just because he was scared of the Nine Tails.

'Tch, if only I had spent more time studying and learning about mindscapes based on the records found in the tiny collection of books my father and mother collected.'

After a few minutes of walking he finally reached what seemed to be a far wider part of the sewer and what appeared to be the end of this corridor.

At the very end of the sewer was what appeared to be some sort of metal rods which went up for dozens of meters and separated the sewer from another section. The metal rods did not merely stand tall, but they were also several times thicker than him. It was a very intimidating scene.

Ren did not dare to near it as the moment he saw the other section what appeared to an enormous slitted red eye popped out and stared right back at him.

[You're finally here, descendant of Chakra.]

The same voice Ren had heard before spoke out.

"… Finally here. So you've been waiting for me heh. I don't even want to be anywhere near you Kyuubi." Ren stared right back with a venomous tone.

[I don't know about that one kid. If you truly did not want to have anything to do with me, I wouldn't have been capable of even touching a hair of yours. Granted that seal of yours you put on the empty head that is my jinchuuriki did help me.]

'What, how the fuck could a simple seal of mine weaken the effects of that highly-complicated seal I cannot even comprehend? Rubbish.'

Ren found that ridiculous but did not push his thoughts outside.

The Kyuubi pushed out a finger outside the 'cage' holding it and extended it all the way to Ren's position. If not for the restrictions of the seal, he'd have pierced Ren's body from an end to another end.

[Boy, the mind works in ways even I cannot fully comprehend. Sure, the seal that accursed blond Kage used on me was indeed so complicated it shocked even me, but your seal… somehow negated it just for enough time for me to spread a bit of my influence on this ramen-monster for a moment. You've got some serios fuinjutsu talent there.]

"I see."

Ren walked forward and never stopped his 'glaring' match with the massive nine-tailed fox who returned the favor similarly. He was probably going to regret what he was going to do in a moment.

"I don't think I ever formally introduced myself to you even though you somehow know my name. I suppose that's related to the connection of a Jinchuuriki and its Tailed Beast."

He stood right in front of the prison and raised a hand and pointed his middle finger at the Kyuubi. Whether he committed this act unconsciously or not did not matter, he had just done something he would possibly regret in the near future.

"Name's Uzumaki-Senju Ren. I am obsessed with fuinjutsu and a lot of things related to it such as barriers, formations, the brilliance of the Uzumaki and any other seal-related clan. I like reading books and learning new jutsus. I am a soon-to-be genin of Konohagakure and like to call myself a menace"

He stared at the incarnation of hatred with his amethyst eyes which a moment ago had looked so fragile and now resembled the eyes of a man ready to face death and continued.

Nice to meet you, the one and only motherfucking Nine Tailed Fox which has lived on this plane of existence before the concept of the shinobi existed."
