'This... this changes everything!' Dosu's mind was in shambles as he stared at the raven-haired boy with the markings of Orochimaru's cursed seal spreading across his body. 'His chakra is incredible. There's no way we can compete with this kind of power.

"Ha! Your finally awake," Zaku said as he stepped towards Sasuke, a smirk on his features. "Now I can finally kill you!"

Dosu was the only one who knew what that seal was, having seen it on four others who were Orochimaru's elite guards. He knew that his teammate didn't stand a chance against Sasuke as he was now, and tried to stop his fellow Oto Ninja from attacking the Uchiha. "Zaku don't!"

However it was too late as Zaku held out his palms and shouted, "Zenkūhayokuha (Extreme Decapitating Air Waves)!"

The blast of slicing airwaves that emitted from Zaku's hand's were incredible. Everyone was forced to crouch down and cover their eyes as the immense pressure displaced the air around them, causing many of those in attendance to be nearly blown off their feet. When the jutsu finally ended, the many groups that had converged saw that the land in front of Zaku had been turned into a large trench several feet wide and nearly a foot deep. It stretched out for all the way to the tree that Sasuke and Naruto had been lying under, which looked like a giant had taken a bite out of it.

Naruto had been burried under the rubble, thus, no one saw his body as it was encased in a red haze.

"Ha... ha..."

Zaku was breathing heavily as he stood there, his feet spread shoulder width apart, slightly crouched, with his hands held out in front of him. However, despite his obvious state of exhaustion, he had a proud smirk on his face.

"Heh, look at that," he said with a huff, his tone somehow managing to retain it's arrogance despite his exhausted state. "Blew that little shit to pieces!"

"Not quite."

Zaku's eyes widened as he heard the voice behind him. He tried to turn around, but wasn't given the chance to do much of anything as he was pounded in the back of the head by a fist. Hard.

With a shout of pain and surprise, Zaku was sent flying. He soared through the air, right until his body hit the ground with a loud smack that rang across the clearing. His still conscious teammate yelled his name, but it was lost to the boy as he rolled across the ground like a ragdoll. His brutal tumble ended eventually, and Zaku managed to just push himself up onto his hands and knees. As he did so, his wide eyes strayed over to Sasuke, who was standing in the same spot he had hit Zaku from, Sakura standing just a few feet behind him.

"Such speed!" Dosu cried out in surprise. "He managed to get his teammate out of harms way in the blink of an eye!"

Everyone else seemed just as surprised as Dosu was. Well, Zaku was still quivering in shock and more then a little fear, but the members of teams ten and nine were staring at Sasuke in shock – even Neji had a surprised look in his eyes.

Sasuke smirked, it was the kind of look a cat had when playing with a mouse. His hands came up and soon ran through a quick gauntlet of seals, ending on the tiger seal, the seal for all fire jutsu.

"Katon: Hōsenka No Jutsu (Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu)!" Sasuke sucked in a deep breath, then released it in quick bursts. Several flames erupted from his mouth and took the shape of fireballs. The volley of fiery destruction sped towards Zaku, who had finally managed to get back to his feet and regained his bravado, even if most of it was faked.

"I'm not gonna let you get the best of me!" The Oto genin stuck his hands out and released a powerful burst of airwaves that smacked against the fireballs, putting the flames out...

...Only to find that Sasuke had hidden shuriken inside of the flames. Zaku had no time to do anything other then get his arms up to cover his face as the shuriken came at him. He screamed in pain as they struck, slicing up his arms and legs. A few managed to embed themselves in his body, causing further damage.

"Zaku!" Dosu shouted. "Get down!"

"Huh?"

Before Zaku could do much of anything, Sasuke was already there, sliding across the ground as if he were on ice. The last Uchiha was quick to move behind Zaku, grabbing both of the older boys wrists, then raising his left leg.

"Gah!"

His foot stomped on Zaku's back, forcing the boy onto his knees, his arms held in a painful position behind his back. His eyes widened further, and more pain erupted from his arms as Sasuke pulled on them.

While the Oto ninja could not see it, everyone else noticed the sick and twisted grin on Sasuke's face. Clearly, he was enjoying himself.

"You seem to be very proud of these arms of yours," Sasuke said, grinning as he toyed with the boy. He couldn't see it, but just knowing that Zaku's eyes were wide in a mixture of shock, pain and fear caused a shiver of pleasure to go down Sasuke's spine. "You must be very attached to them."

Zaku just barely managed to turn his head when he felt the foot on his back begin putting more pressure on him. His eyes widen in horror, he screamed, "what are you doing! NO! STOP! I – AAAAHHH!"

CRACK!

The sound of Zaku's arms breaking like a couple of twigs rang throughout the forest. Everyone there watched in horror as the Oto ninja's arms were bent in a way that defied human anatomy. The arms were now mangled and twisted in such a way that it would be a miracle to get them fixed without a medical ninja, or some very painful manual repositioning.

Zaku, his senses overloaded with pain and his mind unable to fully comprehend what was happening, ended up passing out. His eyes rolled into the back of his head, and as Sasuke let go of his arms, he fell down to the ground with a dull thud.

With the one arrogant enough to actually challenge him now beaten, Sasuke looked up at the others in the clearing. Everyone cringed at the insane gleam in his eyes, everyone except Sakura who had hearts in her eyes as she thought of how cool her Sasuke-kun was. Even Ino, who had been just as rabid a fangirl as Sakura couldn't help but flinch at the bloodlust and evil intent radiating off of raven haired genin.

However, Sasuke ignored them. They were just pests to be dealt with at a later time as far as he was concerned.

"Now who's next?" Sasuke said as he advanced on Dosu, who began backing away in fright. The Uchiha noticed this and grinned. "Scared? That's too bad, I was hoping you would provide more entertainment then that other one, but it looks like I'm not going to get even that."

However, before Sasuke could get to Dosu another powerful chakra came crashing down on the clearing, this one so potent that everyone – even Sasuke – was forced to their knees as they struggled to breathe. No one could pin point the source of this power, mainly because no one could actually lift there heads to look. Only Negi would have been capable of seeing where the source was coming from due to his Byakugan, and he had been forced turn it off, lest the chakra saturating the area blind him.

Underneath the rubble from the tree where Naruto had lain, the red cocoon that had surrounded him exploded. The debris from the tree flew everywhere as a bright red light flashed across the clearing. Everyone was forced to close there eyes as a red light came over them.

When it was over, they turned there attention to the tree where the light had come from, and were shocked to see a person standing there. He stood at about a height of about 167 centimeters, making him a little over a head taller then Sasuke. He was not wearing a shirt, allowing everyone to see the rock hard and compact muscles that ran along his chest, abs and arms. Streamlined, that was the closest word any of the people there could think of for his body type. He wasn't big, nor did his muscles bulge like what people would see from a body builder or a pro wrestler. However he was ripped, his muscles were defined and cut in a way that made them look as if they had been chiseled from stone. Even the most miniscule of movements caused them to twitch and flex.

His pants, which were straining against the man's muscles, were a bright and obnoxious orange that very few people would be caught dead wearing. They were also familiar, though no one there seemed capable of making the connection as they were still trying to make their brains work again. He had on blue shinobi sandals and a Konoha head band wrapped around his head, keeping his waist long mane of spiky golden blond hair out of his face, allowing them to see a pair of deep blue eyes. His face was lean, masculine, with a well defined jawline. The only oddity to his features, which really did nothing to detract from his image, were the small pair of fang like canines jutting from his upper lip.

Had the situation not been so serious both Ino – and quite possibly even Tenten – would have likely creamed themselves from just looking at the man's face and body. He had the kind of looks that seemed almost divine, like someone had seen god and decided to chisel out his features in stone. Any woman that saw him would claim the man embodied perfection.

The blond man walked out of the large hole he had made in the tree and looked around, eying each of the people there. "I wonder what the hell is going on here?" the man questioned in a deep voice, though it was clear the man was talking to himself. He did not seem particularly concerned about the situation he was in. If anything, he seemed amused.

Sasuke looked at the man who was radiating power like beacon with jealousy. This mans power was even stronger then the one he was using! That power should be his!

"Who the hell are you!" Sasuke demanded to know, his sharingan eyes glaring at the man. Combined with the cursed mark it made for an intimidating sight.

The before him did not seem phased in the slightest. Instead of cowering like most would have, he smirked. "I'm surprised you don't recognize me teme, it hurts to know that my own teammate can't even figure out who I am."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes as he registered what the man said, "dobe?"

Everyone looked over at the blond in shock when they heard Sasuke's words. There was no way this ripped and extremely powerful looking man could be the dead last of their class. Could there?

Naruto laughed and gave Sasuke a mocking clap. "So I see you really do have a brain in that head of yours!"

Sasuke growled, "I'm gonna have to show you why you shouldn't insult your betters, loser!"

"My betters, huh?" Naruto said with a grin as he watched Sasuke get closer. To him, the boy was moving in slow motion. The blond watched and waited, not even bothering to react until Sasuke was right next to him and preparing to send a punch his way. The young Uchiha didn't even know what hit him as Naruto's fist collided with his chest, the power behind the punch making it feel like his entire ribcage had caved in before he was sent flying.

Everyone watched in absolute shock as Sasuke was sent sailing right into a tree, hitting the trunk hard enough to cause it to crack. Sasuke slid down the tree as his cursed seal receded, he was unconscious before he even hit the ground. Naruto ignored the shocked looks on everyone's face as he walked over to Dosu.

"Hand over the scroll now, or I'll finish what that little bitch of an Uchiha started," Naruto commanded.

Dosu gulped as he grabbed his scroll, he knew better then to mess with someone who could defeat Sasuke with his cursed seal so easily. "Here, will you let us go?" Dosu asked as he tossed Naruto his scroll.

Naruto caught the scroll and looked at it. Nodding with a satisfied look, he pocketed the scroll and gave Dosu a dismissive wave. "Yeah you can leave."

Dosu held in a sigh of relief as he picked up Zaku and Kin, throwing one over his shoulder and the other in an underarm carry. Naruto waited until Dosu was out of sight, before turning around to face the Konoha genin.

"Yo," he said with a wave.

Everyone looked at him, still stunned.

Naruto?" Shikamaru asked, his tone unsure. While he felt this was the best guess he had – mainly because of the kill me orange pants the man was wearing – it was still hard to believe that this man was the obnoxious loud mouth they had known at the academy. Shikamaru couldn't help but wonder what happened to the blond, they had all seen him lying under the tree with Sasuke, and he had most definitely not looked like he did now. Which meant that something must have happened between those few seconds during the recent battle between Sasuke and the Oto ninja.

'But what?' Shikamaru wondered. Unfortunately, even he couldn't come up with any explanation as to Naruto's extraordinary transformation.

Naruto rolled his eyes, "who else would I be? The fucking tooth fairy?"

Those words seemed to snap everyone out of there stupor, though many were still left wondering how this person, who was radiating power like a furnace, could possibly be Naruto.

Sakura, however, did not care as she remembered what Naruto did to her Sasuke-kun. Her eyes quickly became enraged as she stood up. She began to march over to Naruto, her march quickly turning into a run as she shouted, "NARUTO NO BAKA LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO SASUKE-KUN!" with her fist cocked back and ready to let loose all of her 'righteous anger' on the blond like she usually did.

Naruto grit his teeth at the loud and ear piercing screech the pink haired banshee unleashed. Looking over at the girl, the blond frowned as he saw her rush him with a fist cocked back to deliver her 'righteous fury'. Not that he had any intention of letting her hit him anymore.

He sidestepped her rather clumsy attack, chopping the back of her neck as she passed him to knock her out. As she fell face first to the ground Naruto sighed and created two clones, one to carry Sakura and one to carry Sasuke.

He looked over at teams nine and ten, "I suggest you guys get moving to the tower." With nothing left to say the blond leapt into the trees and disappeared.

"Was that really Naruto?" asked Ino. Now that the danger had passed she felt herself shiver and slump to the ground. Her face became flushed as her mind remembered just how attractive the blond had become. That is, if that was really Naruto.

'When did he get so hot?'

"It looks like it," Shikamaru muttered, a disgruntled look on his face. It was clear he was not pleased with this new development. He also had no trouble expressing this through more complaining. "This is just great, now that blond is going to be even more troublesome. Come on, we'd better head to the Tower so we can get out of this troublesome forest."

Birth of the New Demon King

Naruto grinned as he and his clones hopped through the trees at a speed that would put most ninja to shame. He felt great. Ever since he had woken up, Naruto felt like his body had been hooked up to a power coupling. His chakra, which had already been quite large, was now through the roof. The second chakra system, which he recognized as his youkai was a barely contained maelstrom of power, giving his namesake justice. He could feel it coursing through his body, rolling off him and giving him more energy then a thousand ninja. He felt powerful, invincible.

Absently, he twirled the new heaven scroll he had gotten from a group of unsuspecting Ame ninja that he had jumped around his fingers. It was amusing to see how pathetic some of the people entering this exam were, the three Ame ninja had been so busy trying to lay a trap for the clones he had sent after sensing them, that they had not even realized the real danger until he appeared within their midst. Now they were dead and he had their scroll.

The blond Uzumaki wasn't sure how long he had been in this forest, having been unconscious for some time during what he had decided to call his rebirth, since he felt it fit the description of his new changes. Currently, he and his clones were making their way towards the Tower in the middle of the Forest of Death. He wanted to get there within the next hour.

"Ugh..."

Naruto looked over to see Sakura starting to wake up. Her body was stirring and her eyelids were beginning to flutter. A frown marred the blond's face, he didn't want to have to deal with the girls shrieking right now.

Thankfully his clone noticed too and made sure her head hit on a tree branch so he would not have to listen to the pink haired girls screaming. The blond took a moment to wonder just what the hell his old self had been thinking when he thought he was in love with that girl. She was nothing more then an overly loud and abusive fan girl, one who used every opportunity she had to degrade and hit him. His thoughts on his former stupidity in liking a banshee like Sakura didn't last long, however, since he had far more important things to think about.

Several minutes later Naruto found himself standing in front of one of the doors leading into the tower. After kicking the door open Naruto walked in and looked around. The room was fairly large, with several red columns on either side acting as supports. The walls were a barren gray, with cracks and stains that showed just how old this tower really was. The tiles were white, and while the walls were in rough shape, the tiles looked almost brand new. Strange.

Soon enough, the blond's eyes landed on a large poster hanging on the wall opposite the door. Naruto's keen eyes were quick to pick up what it said. Realizing it was a riddle and what it meant, Naruto created a clone and handed it the heaven scroll. The clone looked at Naruto, and seeing him nod they both opened their scrolls at the same time.

On the inside of both scrolls were a mass of lines and squiggles. They varied in size, shape and length, all of them written around a circle that seemed to be the base. It took a moment for the blond to recognize the symbols as seals, but when he did his eyes widened as he realized what they likely meant. With a shout to his clone, both he and his doppleganger were quick to toss the scrolls away.

The two scrolls hit the ground, forming an X as the heaven scroll landed on top of the earth scroll. There was a burst of smoke and when it cleared Iruka was standing in front of Naruto. Iruka was a man of average height and build. He had brown hair that was being kept in a ponytail, dark eyes and a scar that ran across the bridge of his nose, which he has had since his youth. He was wearing the standard Konoha shinobi outfit complete with forehead protector, sandals and flak jacket. The only difference between his outfit and most others was that he had the sleeves rolled about a fourth of the way up his arms.

"Iruka-sensei," Naruto said with a small smile on his face as he saw one of his only precious people. Iruka was the first person to believe in him besides the Hokage, and one of the only people that Naruto considered family.

"Hello Naru… to…" Iruka trailed off as he got a look at the new Naruto. His eyes widened in shock and for a second, it seemed he had been struck speechless. The scarred man managed to recover admirably, however, and was quick to ask, "what happened to you? You look…"

"Different?" Naruto finished for Iruka with a shrug and a grin. "Let's just say my bloodline awakened and leave it at that."

"Bloodline?" Iruka asked in undisguised curiosity. "I didn't even know you had a bloodline."

"Yeah, neither did I," Naruto said sardonically. At seeing Iruka's curious look he added, "I'll tell you about it later, sensei. Right now, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it."

Iruka nodded, he was about to speak some more when he noticed Sasuke and Sakura knocked out on the floor a little ways away. His gaze turned curious as he looked back at Naruto. "What happened to them?"

Naruto turned to look at his two 'teammates', then looked back at Iruka and shrugged. "Sakura got knocked out during our fight with some Oto ninja, and Sasuke got knocked out when this weird lady who can summon snakes gave him a hicky." Both were the truth in a way, Sasuke had been knocked out after receiving that mark, Naruto had just had to knock him out again so he would not try to do something stupid. And Sakura had been knocked out when Naruto fought those Oto ninja, she just hadn't been knocked out by the Oto ninja. However, small details like that really didn't matter.

Iruka paled as he heard the part about them fighting someone who could summon snakes, only two people had that ability and one of them was an S rank traitor. If he was in Konoha then it could only mean trouble.

"Anyway, you might want to get Sakura to the hospital, and Sasuke should see someone about that seal on his neck," Naruto said.

Iruka nodded as he regained his composure, "of course, I'll get the medical ninja here. In the meantime why don't you head over to room 232 and get some rest, you have two days until the second part of the exams end."

Naruto nodded, "right."

At that very moment Naruto's stomach made itself known with a loud gurgle. Naruto gained a sheepish expression on his face as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Hehe, Iruka-sensei do you know if there is a cafeteria here?" He had not really had anything good to eat in a while and his demonic transformation took up a lot of energy.

Iruka shook his head at Naruto's antics. However, he couldn't quite keep the smirk off his face. It was good to see that, awakened bloodline or no, Naruto hadn't really changed much. "Yeah it's down the hall, three doors on your left."

"Thanks," Naruto said as he ran into the hall to get something to eat. Who knew that having your entire body structure changed in order to hold enough power to equal the greatest demon to ever exist would cause such an appetite?

Birth of the New Demon King

A now full Naruto stepped out of the shower and began drying off. The first thing he had done upon finishing his conversation with Iruka was head over to the cafeteria and scarf down as much food as humanly – or is that demonically? – possible. He was glad no one else had been there at the time, with most teams still outside in the Forest of Death, and the few teams that had made it likely resting. Naruto didn't want any of the other squads to know about his transformation yet.

Naruto walked over to the mirror near the sink, wiping away the steam on it so he could see his face. Or more specifically his eyes, both the iris and sclera were a deep blue. Moving outwards from the center were concentric silver rings that spread out in a ripple pattern.

Kyuubi had told him this was the Rennigan, the most legendary of the three great doujutsu and was rumored to be the progenitor for all doujutsu. Whether that was true or not Naruto didn't know, but he did know the man who had created ninjutsu had these eyes. Though his were apparently different then the one that the Rikudou Sennin had. According to Kyuubi, the Rennigan was supposed to be gray with purple rings. she had told him that the differences in color was likely due to his demonic heritage mixing with the doujutsu, which also likely meant he would have some different powers then the original Rennigan.

He shook his head of these thoughts, not really interested in how he got it. Though he did make a note to himself to test his eyes abilities when the second stage ended. Walking out of the bathroom Naruto entered the bedroom where he grabbed his boxers and pants and put them on. The room only had a single bed, due to it being a one-person bedroom. He had decided that he didn't want to sleep with his two teammates when they got out of where ever they were, and thus had found his own room. The last thing he needed was for the banshee to start yelling at him, or the Uchiha too annoy him enough that he would kill the brat in a fit of rage and loose his chance of becoming a Chunin.

Sitting down Naruto took up a meditative position and began focusing some of Kyuubi's chakra to his eyes, Naruto used a minor kitsune illusion to make them appear their standard blue color. Only other Kitsune would be able to see through the illusion, and those with the Mangekyo Sharingan would be able to tell there was an illusion over his eyes. Or so Kyuubi had told him when she taught him the jutsu.

Naruto created a Shadow Clone, and as soon as it appeared it took out a brush and ink and began to write seals along the wall for privacy. Most would probably be surprised that Naruto knew anything about the art of fuīnjutsu. However, ever since he learned Kyuubi was sealed inside of him, he felt it would be a good idea to learn them. That way if anything happened to his seal, he would be able to do something about it. The blond wasn't very far along in seals yet though, only being capable of making basic and a few moderately difficult seals. But he was getting there.

With that done Naruto entered the seal to speak with Kyuubi.

Birth of the New Demon King

Naruto opened his eyes and walked through the cage, where Kyuubi was waiting in a kneeled posture with her head bowed in submission.

"What is it you wish of me, Naruto-sama?" Kyuubi asked.

Naruto resisted the urge to groan, "first I want you to drop the 'sama' crap, I hate titles, just call me Naruto." Kyuubi looked up at him with something akin to shock, but before she could speak Naruto started talking again. "The second thing you could do is stop bowing to me, I have yet to actually do anything seriously worthwhile that would call for such a show of respect."

"I can't do either of those, Naruto-sama," Kyuubi responded with a shake of her head. "Not only are you the descendant of Raizen, the most powerful of the three demon kings…"

"And I couldn't care less," Naruto interrupted. "Until I prove myself worthy of being Raizen-ojisan's heir, you will not call me Naruto-Sama."

"I can not do that Naruto-Sama," the red headed demoness said again. "You may not feel as if you have earned it, but the fact is that you are Raizen-Sama's heir. Anything less then giving you the utmost respect is unbecoming of a demon."

Naruto growled under his breath. He mumbled a few choice words that Kyuubi only picked up thanks to her enhanced hearing. They weren't very pretty words, and the red head was unsure whether she should flinch or giggle at the profanities the blond was spouting.

It was so nostalgic.

"Fine," he ground out at last, breathing out a deep sigh. "We'll discuss this later. I didn't come here to talk to you about that anyways." He crossed his arms and looked at Kyuubi, his gaze hardening. "You are going to tell me everything you know about my mother, my father and Madara. You will leave nothing out."

"Right," Kyuubi said, she tried hard not to shiver at his tone and the power he was unleashing. Not only was it slightly frightening, but for a demon like her it was highly arousing. To a demon, power is everything, and those who have power are often the most desirable mates. With his new changes and demonic heritage unlocked, Naruto – like Raizen – was power incarnate.

Kyuubi did her best to shake those thoughts off, however, as she knew she was not worthy of Naruto after what happened to him thanks to her. She quickly forced herself to get back on track, even though she had no desire to remember that time.

"Where to begin? I suppose I should begin with some basic information about myself. Originally, I was a simple member of the Kitsune clan, which are a clan of highly regarded demons in Makai that specialize in illusions and elemental manipulation. During one of my outings to the human world, I was struck by a very powerful chakra. I ended up passing out, and when I woke up I had nine-tails, instead of my three."

"What does this have to do with what I asked?" asked Naruto, raising an eyebrow. It sounded like an interesting story, and he would probably want to hear more of it later. But right now, all he wanted was to know about his parents and the night Madara had forced her to attack the village.

"There is a point, Naruto-Sama," Kyuubi said with a placating gesture. "I promise." The blond deliberated for a moment before nodding. Kyuubi continued. "When I got back and my family saw my nine-tails, I became the new head of the Kitsune clan. You see, no one else has ever possessed nine-tails. The amount of tails a kitsune gain's is equal to the amount of power they possess, and none had ever gained more then eight. In my clan we have a legend, one that states the kitsune to gain nine-tails shall become the ultimate power and lead our clan to prosperity. In a way that did happen. With my power I was on par with two of the demon kings of Makai, able to fight them one on one and hold my own. Only Raizen was stronger then me, but he had recognized my power and I had been given a place at his side as his second in command."

"Life was good for my clan after that," she continued in fond remembrance. Her eyes glazed over slightly and a soft smile touched her lips. Even though Naruto was still slightly angry at her for attacking the village – manipulated or not – he couldn't help but think about just how beautiful she looked right now.

Kyuubi was unaware of his thoughts, and thus continued without interruption.

"I held one of the most prestigious positions and my clan was highly respected by others. However, after Raizen died my clan was forced to take up the vacuum he filled. We were successful, for a while, but the power gap between Raizen and myself was vast, and it wasn't long before those seeking to gain power for themselves plotted against us. The two demon kings decided to work together and created an army that marched on our territory."

"We fought of course, we fought with everything we had. But in the end, it wasn't enough. Most, if not all of my clan was killed, and I was cast out. I ended up making my way to the human world, where I decided to live until I was able to retake the thrown that I had been tasked with guarding."

"During that time I traveled a lot, never staying in one place for too long. Everything was more or less fine, until he came," the way Kyuubi spat out the word 'he' with such vitriol let Naruto know just how much she hated Madara. "It happened so fast that I barely remember what happened. He somehow placed me under his control, and then reverse summoned me to a plane where I was forced into battle against Senju Hasharima. As you know, that battle ended up with me being sealed."

"I was rather angry about that. Now, not only would it be impossible for me to gain enough strength to retake Raizen-Sama's thrown, but I was sealed in some damn ningen! For years I tried to escape that prison. However, all my attempts ended in failure, worse still, that woman was able to use some kind of chakra chains to keep me tied down like some kind of animal!" Kyuubi's breathing had become slightly ragged as she remembered how she had been treated by that woman. Oh how she hated the looks of pity she had received. Mito hadn't even attempted to realize why she was so angry, just went on assuming she was a dangerous beast with endless hatred. It pissed her off the no end.

By this point, there was an aura of red youkai leaking from the red head. Her braided hair was swinging about agitatedly, much like her nine fox tails were also doing. Realizing she was loosing control of her emotions, Kyuubi closed her eyes and took several deep breaths. After a few seconds, she continued.

"I had hoped that I would be able to escape when she died, but it seemed they realized what would happen and decided they didn't want to lose me. I ended up being sealed inside of your mother when Mito was at the end of her life. I had almost given up hope of escaping when Madara let me loose and, well, you know the rest."

Naruto nodded, everything made sense now. From the reason he had the Kyuubi sealed into him, to the reason why the Kyuubi had ever been sealed in the first place. It was hard to believe, had Kyuubi told anyone else – not that she would – they likely wouldn't have believed her. But Naruto, having already met Raizen was more or less forced to believe her words. They did, after all, coincide with what his ancestor said.

"I appreciate you telling me this," he said at last, shaking the lingering thoughts away so he could address the woman in front of him. "While I find that a part of this is your fault," here Kyuubi flinched, "I find that it is impossible to place all the blame on you." When the red head turned wide eyes on him, Naruto grinned. "Most of these troubles seem to originate from that human, Uchiha Madara. Had he not come, I doubt you would have been sealed. Do not get me wrong though, while I do not blame you for my parents death, nor do I hold any ill will. I find myself disappointed by how you let a human control you."

It was a bit odd to Naruto that he was no longer thinking of himself as human. He knew he wasn't human, of course, but he had expected a harder transition with more angst and denial. Though he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Best to just be thankful he didn't have any problems being a demon.

Kyuubi nodded and bowed her head. Naruto was being more merciful then she had expected. But she was thankful to him, and decided she would use this opportunity to improve her standing in the blond's eyes and serve him as best she could.

"I understand, Naruto-Sama."

"Now then, Raizen-ojisan said something about binding you to me so that you could help me reach my full potential." It was here, finally, that Naruto noticed Kyuubi's blush, and despite feeling a little unsure about it's meaning pressed on. "So how do we do this binding thing?"

"Well…"

Kyuubi's blush deepened a bit, despite having had kits of her own before gaining her nine-tails she had never done the binding ritual. Her 'marriage' for lack of a better word had been one of convenience. While the Kitsune clan had been powerful and well-respected, the truth was there were very few Kitsune, numbering somewhere around two or three hundred before they had been wiped out.

"Well, you have to…" she mumbled something under her breath that Naruto could not catch even with his enhanced hearing.

"What was that?" Naruto asked.

"You have to mark me," Kyuubi said, her blush increasing in hue.

Naruto's eyes fluttered a bit as his mind went through some of the pieces of information that Raizen had imprinted in his mind. It was an odd process, and it seemed that learning more about his heritage required keywords being said. Otherwise, he was sure that the information would have come to him sooner and he would not have had to ask about the process.

What he didn't know was that Raizen had done this so that the blond's mind would not overload from gaining more information then it was prepared to handle. Given that there was thousands of years worth of knowledge locked away in Naruto's head now, it was probably a good idea.

He found what he was looking for, and soon enough, he was blushing as well.

"Ero-Demon," Naruto muttered, he turned to look at Kyuubi, who squirmed under his gaze. "We don't have to do this if you don't want to," he told her. While he had accepted his demon heritage, he wasn't quite sure he was ready to accept binding someone to him like that.

Kyuubi shook her head, "I… I really don't mind… Naruto-sama."

Naruto raised an eyebrow, "you mean to tell me you don't care if I basically mark you as my property?"

Kyuubi looked down at the ground, gaining a sudden interest in her toes. "I have already sworn myself to you, this would not make a difference…"

Naruto sighed as he walked up to her, "are you sure about this?" Kyuubi said nothing but gave him a nod. Naruto sighed as he went through his mind about what he knew on marking, he frowned in thought as he came upon how it was applied. There were two ways to mark someone, the first was the mark of a slave, usually from a demon biting someone on there arm or calf, in many ways it reminded him of how cattle were branded when he had a D rank mission at a farm once. The second was the mark of a life mate, this was always located on the neck and was usually done during intercourse.

Naruto grinned as a thought occurred in his mind, the blond didn't know how it came about, but he decided it was a good idea; and it would be funny to see Kyuubi's reaction. Acting too quickly for Kyuubi to do anything Naruto wrapped an arm around her waist, pulled her close and sank his fangs into her neck.

"Na-Naruto-s-sama!" Kyuubi squeaked in surprise. That soon turned into a moan of ecstasy, however, as Naruto flooded her body with his demonic Youkai. While it was not as intense a feeling as it would have been if they had been in intercourse, it was far more intense then anything she had ever felt. Her entire body shuddered as a wave of absolute ecstasy washed over her. Had she been in her right mind, Kyuubi would have embarrassed when she came just from feeling the blonds power coursing through her body.

As it was, the only person who noticed was Naruto when he picked up the scent of her flowing juices. If he didn't have his fangs still in the vixen's neck, he would have grinned.

After nearly a minute of this, in which Kyuubi felt like she was in one continuous orgasm, the red head's mind went blank and she blacked out from the overwhelming feeling.

Naruto held her to him as she passed out and gently set her down. The blond sat himself down and pulled the woman's head into his lap. He took a moment to examine her features. Kyuubi really was a beautiful woman, he decided. Absently, he wondered why he wasn't blushing from that thought. Had it been just a few hours ago he would have been a mess for even thinking something even remotely perverted. As it was, he felt no real embarrassment about his thoughts, nor was he embarrassed about his desire to mate with Kyuubi. Which was another surprise, considering just moments ago he had still been angry at her for his parents death.

These thoughts left him and the blond blinked in surprise when he saw himself begin to fade from the seal.

Birth of the New Demon King

Naruto opened his eyes and found himself in his room again. He blinked a few times as the memory of his clone working on the seals hit him. It was very strange, like seeing out of another pair of eyes that were not his own. Of course, given that they were his clones, they technically were him, but it didn't change the fact that the whole thing felt weird.

'I wonder why I never noticed that I get the memories of my clones before?' Naruto asked himself. He'd been using the kage bunshin no jutsu for months now, ever since he had learned it from the Forbidden Scroll of Sealing during that trumped up Academy Graduation exam that traitor Mizuki said he could do. It was the jutsu he had used the most ever since.

Then again that could be why. Whenever he made clones it was never just one or two, Naruto normally spammed out several dozen at the very least. Perhaps that was why he never noticed. He simply used so many of them that the feedback effect was negated so as not to put undue stress on the mind. Whatever the case was, he would need to think of a use for this new ability soon.

Before he could think further on the subject, his mind was pulled away by something.. unusual happening.

He looked down in surprise when he saw red chakra coming out of his seal, and became shocked when it began to form a shape that he recognized as distinctly feminine. Soon enough the shape was completed and Naruto found a still sleeping Kyuubi lying on his lap. The first thing he noticed about her was the content look on her face as she dosed, her beautiful features were carved into a content smile that mad her look like she was having a very pleasant dream.

The second thing he noticed was that she was completely bereft of clothes. Naruto would have wondered why, but in that moment found he truly could not care. The blond found his eyes wondering over Kyuubi's form, the two large, beautiful mounds that made up her bosom, with their dark pink nipples and aerola. Her breasts rose and fell in time with her breathing, jiggling ever so slightly to show that they were firm yet soft. Her thin, lithe waist flared out into perfectly proportionate hips and a firm ass. Mile long legs that seemed to go on for ever and a patch of red pubic hair stood out just a little bit above her sacred area.

As it was, it was only through sheer will, which even as a human had been firmer then the strongest steel, kept him from mating with her. While getting his urges under control he wondered how she was out of the seal, but given how soon she had come out since he had given her his mating mark, he figured it likely coincided with that.

He created a shadow clone with his demonic Youkai so that it would last longer. Being careful not to jostle the sleeping demoness, Naruto stood up and gently set Kyuubi in the bed. He was about to let go of her, but Kyuubi, as if sensing him leaving, latched onto him, pulling him down on top of her. Before he was able to react Kyuubi rolled over so she was now on top, where she began to cling and nuzzle into his chest, sighing in content. Naruto soon became distinctly aware of the feminine assets pressing themselves against his body and was hard kept not to pass out, or keep Naruto junior from waking up.
