"Goodbye, Obito-chan." Naruto whispered as he tried as fast as he could to Kamui out of the area, hoping the leave the bombs behind, but was too late as his face was the last part to be sucked into the Kamui, making the bombs explode on his face right before he could get through.

He appeared in the Kamui dimension, screaming in pain as he clutched the lower half of his face, which was burnt all to hell, the only part of his face that was untouched was his nose and up, and the burns went all the way down to his neck.

"Fuck you, Konan!" Naruto screamed in agony as blood leaked off his face onto the grey metal that was the dimension that he always teleported to. He quickly made a water jutsu, covering the ground with water as he splashed it on his face, cooling down the burning sensation.

Breathing hard, he looked in the remaining water and gasped at his reflection.

He looked like a monster, something that appeared in nightmares. His upper lip and down were completely black, burnt flesh dripping off his face as plenty of burn marks littered his neck, making it hard to breathe.

"Obito-chan," He whispered, touching his face as he looked at his reflection. "I'm so sorry," He said teary eyed before he began coughing, blood coming out of his mouth, contaminating the water and no longer see through, tainted.

Like him. He was tainted.

He was tainted since birth, tainted with an arm that wasn't his, tainted with eyes that didn't belong to him, and tainted with an overwhelming sense of failure and insecurity.

He was weak. Weak weak weak weak weak weak. Nothing more, everything less.

"Correct." He heard a deep voice murmur in his head, the world around him turning black as he was suddenly in a sewer, facing the large Nine Tailed Fox that resided in him.

"You're weak. So give me control of your body, I'll make them pay for what they've done to us, I'll bring the peace you so badly desire." The Kyuubi spoke softly, his words laced with charm hypnotizing Naruto. "Just rip off that seal so we can achieve true peace." Naruto walked across the water in a trance-like state, his hand just barely touching the paper that made the Kyuubi the prisoner in his body, before a hand grasped his.

"Well, hello, Naruto."  Naruto's eyes widened as he looked up, coming face to face with the Fourth Hokage.

"Dad. . ."  He whispered softly.

"Fourth Hokage!" The Kyuubi's  voice interrupted in a loud snarl. "How dare you show your presence to me again?" He roared, clashing against the cage that was holding him back.  Minato only smirked at the large beast before the son and father duo disappeared into a pure white place.

"There, that's better, isn't it?" Minato rubbed the back of his head nervously. "So, I'm your father, Naru-" He was cut off by a quick punch to the stomach.

"Why?" Naruto whispered in a low, dark voice. "Why did you give me this burden? YOU RUINED MY LIFE YOU BASTARD!" Naruto shouted as he backhanded his father, making him take a few steps back.

"Do you know how much I was called a monster? Or a worthless cause? I was banned from the leaving the village all because I failed the mission! That's how badly I was treated! Why? Answer me dammit!" Naruto shouted as he hit his father over and over again.

Minato caught one of his son's punches, smiling sadly at him.

"Because, I know you could handle it. Your mother did." Naruto stopped punching his father, giving his father a confused look.

"Mom, was a jinchuuriki too?" He whispered, getting a nod in response. Naruto fell to his knees.

"I wasn't the first, I've been acting like a little shit because I thought I had it bad. But, I didn't." Naruto whispered.

"You're the third jinchuuriki of the Nine Tailed Fox, Naruto. And it you will be the last." Naruto looked up, wide eyed.

"How do you know that?" Minato smiled.

"Because, I know you don't want any of your children to carry a burden like that when you perish, right? For the Kyuubi to die with you, and not be released, you need to have no regrets and have lived your life fully. Have you done so yet, Naruto?" Naruto looked down, not able to meet his father's gaze. "Then you can't die. You're will is strong, just from looking at you I can sense that, you won't let your appearance or sickness keep you down."

"How can I show my face around her?" Naruto whispered, tears going down his burnt cheeks. "I can't, I'm hideous. I'm nothing but a monster now! She won't want anything to do with me?" Minato crouched down to get eye level with Naruto.

"You're talking about a girl, right?" Naruto nodded. "If she truly loves you, and you her, then your appearance won't change anything. If you allow your appearance to control you, Naruto, then your bond with this girl you love with fall apart. And if that doesn't fix anything, where a mask like a student of mine, Kakashi."

Naruto nodded, wiping his tears away.

"Dad, I know this is supposed to be a touching moment between us, but, I think I'm dying from a sickness." Minato smirked before they were back in the sewer.

"It's because this little shit hasn't been healing you and has actually been pumping chakra into your body secretly hoping to kill you." Naruto's eyes widened as he looked at the Kyuubi, meeting the fox's murderous glare.

"Those Sharingan eyes of yours have officially pissed me off." The Kyuubi said. "So, I decided to get out of your body as soon as possible." Naruto's eyes turned red, shifting into the Mangekyou as he walked forward ignoring his father's protest as he ripped off the seal and lifted his shirt up and quickly turned the seal on his stomach, unlocking it.

"Kyuubi, no more games." Naruto whispered as the gate flew open. "I don't want to have to control you, but I will if I have to." The Kyuubi began laughing as he took a step forward, the ground vibrating.

"You do not have the visual prowess of Madara Uchiha to control me, or that Obito girl you love." Naruto smirked.

"How much chakra are you willing to bet on that?" He whispered darkly as Minato watched in awe as his son confronted the Kyuubi.

"Chakra?" The Kyuubi said, obviously confused before trees sprouted on all sides of him, restricting him and tying him to the ground as Naruto walked forward, getting eye level to the demon fox as he jumped on the fox's snout.

"Yes, chakra. I'm going to take it forcefully from you now, and maybe when you're good, I'll give it back." His Mangekyou began spinning furiously as he looked in the Kyuubi's eyes as the Kyuubi roared in protest.

"I'm not a puppet! Don't you dare try to control me Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto deactivated his Sharingan and smiled, his burnt lips curling upwards as his eyes closed.

"Then I request that you stop trying to kill me, okay?" Naruto said cheerfully as the Kyuubi's eyes widened. "I don't want to be enemies with you, that would be troublesome for both of us since you have the ability to kill me, and I have the ability to constrain and control you, let's be civilized and be partners, eh?"

"You only want to use my power for your own greedy uses!" The Kyuubi growled out. Naruto only patted the large demon's nose.

"Actually, to be honest with you, I don't want to rely on your power. It kinda makes me weak, ya know? I'd like to get stronger on my own." Kyuubi's eyes widened as he looked at Naruto, not detecting any signs of false words or ill-intents, he sighed.

"You're different, you actually remind me of somebody I used to know." Naruto smiled at the Kyuubi before he jumped off his snout and released the trees, making the Kyuubi stand back up on all fours as he stretched.

"Cool, I hope he was awesome like me."

"He was actually the Sage of Six Paths, my father." Naruto immediately stopped walking away, turning around completely and looking at the Kyuubi with wide eyes filled with shock.

"He truly existed? I thought he was just a myth." Kyuubi smirked.

"Nope, he was real as you and me are." Naruto shrugged.

"Glad I remind you of someone who you think of as a father, let's be partners, k?" Naruto held out his fist, and the Kyuubi chuckled.

"Okay, I'll believe in you, Naruto." Kyuubi whispered to himself as he bumped fist with Naruto. "My name is Kurama, by the way." Naruto smiled.

"Nice to meet the real you, Kurama."

"I feel like this has taken a big 180..." Minato deadpanned.

And done! How was it? Good? Bad? Tell meeee!

Anyways, yeah.

Til next time my lil demons!
