Kapitel 4: lessons 2 & meeting of the nine tails

Naruto looked over the large dark clearing filled with shadows these were the weakest of the heartless in fact a good 40% of people actually become a shadow when they fall to Darkness and become a heartless there are rather large other numbers of Heartless but they were rare then the shadow. if Naruto was being honest with himself he knew about one ability as Master lets it slip a few weeks ago about how some people could control and command heartless to fight for them.

Naruto wanted that power that ability the heartless cannot be attacked directly without a keyblade magic or extremely strong heart but master did say someone with chakra could hurt heartless but never truly defeated it would just disperse and reform at a later date. but the problem of that is his master most likely would not teach him this ability not for a very long time. and he hold the keyblade it was a standard looking Keyblade a star keychain at the bottom of the hilt with a long saver like blade with the end having two parts at the end that way. Take the resemblance of a key he hold it tightly he knew what his master was talking about how it didn't feel right to wield this one since it wasn't his own. tightening his grip completely on it Naruto charged towards the first shadow he jumped up and strike at it Naruto was lucky he caught this one unaware it seemed to send it back a few millimeters on its back Naruto jump onto it and shoved his hand into his chest. he could feel the shadow core. he use the guard to start hitting the heartless in the face as he yanked the shadowcore out of its chest.

when he did the Shadows body seem to disperse into a smoke and flow into the shadow core. he looked over to his master who seems to be giving him the thumbs up he then heard His Master's Voice.

" good job Naruto you'll need about three more of those for your first Keyblade."

Naruto just smiled but then notice the shadowcore went into his body figuring he would ask about that later he began to run quickly towards a Shadow striking at it quickly after a few hits he punched his hand into its chest. ripping out the shadow core the corner seem to go straight into his body just like the first one did he quickly moved his way to the third one and repeated the process just like before on the last one as well

after he gained all the shadow cores Naruto needed he quickly Sprint to his master who seem to be having a big grin on his face. as Naruto ran towards his master he could feel a faint tugging sensation in the back of his head Naruto can feel his Consciousness slipping. he soon passed out into his master's arms which seem to not worried him in the slightest.

the scene fades and soon Naruto awakens in a dark sewer but instead of some sewer water there was the white sand of the Dark World. Naruto could hear a calling for help he ran towards it with the keyblade has Master lent him and and he saw for Shadows attacking a woman who seemed to have nine fox tails and ears she seemed to be running away with tears down her face shouting.

" no no I don't want to become a heartless someone help me!!!"

Naruto cease what seemed to be a cave entrance was covered with rock formations that seems to make what seemed to be like cell bars Naruto ignore them and run through said bars attacking the heartless he quickly defeat it all 4 and the woman seemed to dropped to her knees panting lightly. Naruto would place the blade against his shoulder as he walked towards a woman curious on where he was and who she was. but he did abstantly minded that the heartless weren't fully destroyed they just ran away.

" hey lady who are you and how the hell did i get here never mind the how where am I"

the lady looks up at Naruto with red Crimson slitted eyes and proceeded to tackle him and hug him consoling repeating.

" thank you thank you thank you thank you..... you saved me"

Naruto froze at the sudden hug but slowly just started to rub the center of her back remembering how his master helped him with his nightmares by doing it. soon the woman's constant repeating stopped but he did hear there was sobbing every so often. Naruto stay quiet until she stopped and then he decided to repeat his question.

" could you answer my questions now?"

the woman seemed hesitant but slowly nodded her head.

" okay lady first who r u and where are we?"

the woman seemed to rub at her eyes and slowly nodded as she began to speak Naruto than noticed she had a very beautiful voice.

" my name is Kermie and for the second one we are in your mind scape or pacifically the part that's connected to the seal"

Naruto nodded until he heard the word seal he then gave her a questioning look. Kermie realize that he didn't know about the seal and then looked kind of afraid but then speaking.

" the seal that keeps me imprisoned in your body...."

Naruto raised an eyebrow at this he didn't know that he had someone imprisoned in him did the Hokage know or even his master did.

" I will just get to the point I am fearing of over with I am known by the humans as the the nine tail fox one of the nine tailed beasts. and the strongest of all nine me and my sisters are always sealed into humans nowadays so human pacifically the ninja Villages could have a powerful weapon."

Naruto's eyes went wide he still held on to the woman she's done nothing but be grateful so he wonders if the Nine-Tails was always bad or was it not itself when they attacked the village Naruto then decided to ask a question.

"Kermie were you not yourself when you attacked the village?"

this seemed to get her to stiffen as her face was buried in to Naruto chest as he could feel his shirt getting wetter. Naruto could tell just from that one reaction that she wasn't herself that night even if most of Village would never acknowledge Him He was a very observant person he was almost as good at observing his surroundings as one of his friends he met at the playground Shikamaru.

Naruto then remembered a bit of history about the Uchiha clan of Madara Uchiha controlling the nine tails and being one of the only Uchiha to ever control a Bijou with his eyes. in fact in history there hasn't been stated single other Uchiha to ever have that ability. Naruto had broken into the library a lot of times in the middle of the night to read

he knew he would need a lot of knowledge to become Hokage. he hold on tight to her figuring out what happened just from her reaction and what he remembers of History tho Madara would be extremely old by that night but then again Madara was the Rival hashirama the god of Shinobi Naruto wouldn't put it past if hashirama still alive that they both would be still extremely powerful even at the age they would be. Naruto decided to speak again.

" I'm guessing Madara was still alive by that point controlling you to attack the village if my assumption is correct then I can't blame you since you didn't have control over yourself."

as Naruto said this Kermie started to cry even harder and holding onto him tightly. Naruto believe if you can't control your own body you should not be blamed for whatever the person controlling you makes you do. Naruto start to look around as he notice the heartless we're starting to regroup like they're going to start another fight for some reason Naruto started to grow and started to radiate his inner darkness which seems to make the heartless within his mind scape back away like they respected his power.

one of them kneel before him soon after the last three did as well. Kermie seems to notice this and seemed in shock and dumbfounded at this. she started to speak with a voice that is dripping with surprise.

" they're submitting to you how can you control them even a Bijou cannot even fight even the weakest of the heartless none of us possess the ability to even touch them."

Naruto spoke to the heartless with a voice that seemed filled with authority.

" you four will protect her and make sure that every heartless that enters here knows never to attack her."

Naruto said staring at them but you could notice they all seem to nod seemingly melding with the floor and Vanishing. Naruto then notice that Kermie fell asleep. Naruto then Naruto then just realized what was said along while ago this was his mindscape he was still going to change it from being a sewer. he closed his eyes and raised his hand outward at the mindscape changed into just like the beaches of the Dark World but with a Japanese style house behind Naruto the cage bars changed into a collar on her. Naruto then decided to carry her into the Japanese house and onto a bed. he decided to lay down on the bed as well close his eyes and without even realizing it fading from his mindscape. and the scene Fades to Black. Naruto awakens on the same Beach like he always had as he looked to his right there was his master meditating. as Naruto got up and started to stretch his master spoke calmly.

" I suppose you have met your tenant?"

Naruto nodded as he saw his master open his eyes with a sad look. as he got up he looked at the keyblade that was still in Naruto's hands.

" you do not have near as many Shadow cores as you needed to make a keyblade of your own without breaking down one already existing. for the record there are many keyblades scattered through the Dark World left behind by wielders but even I have not found even some unfinished keyblades..... those unfinished ones always end up in the same place I will take you there if you do not wish to break down that Keyblade."

Naruto stand straight up as he looked at the keyblade that was still in his hands. he want to the edge of the beach to the water and stabbed the head of the keyblade into the white sand. his Master nodded and started to walk away again in a different direction and Naruto decide to follow him. he started to ask a question.

" master do you know who my parents were?"

the master didn't stop in his steps but nodded the same.

" yes in fact your mother was my last student her name was Kushina Uzumaki. I knew her when she was but a child I'm happy to see She Found Love I always thought of her as a daughter..... for your father it's simple he's the one who put the fox inside of you the fourth Hokage."

both Naruto and his master stopped right then and there he looked back with a sad look at Naruto. he knew what Naruto was going to ask and he's so he spoke.

" I already know what you're going to ask why weren't you told and why were you choosing I'll tell you the answer to the second one first it's because he was a man of honour he could not ask a parent to sacrifice their kids not when he was not willing to do the same and why you weren't told was because both your mother and father had made many enemies a good chunk of them from Stone country for your father and the other good chunk for your mother was from Cloud country they would have send either assassins to kill you or kidnap you if the world knew you were there child."

Draco walk towards Naruto and hugged him as Naruto started to cry. he could notice that some of the heartless out to their East we're starting to react to his cries seemingly like they did not want him to cry. Draco had a suspicion but he could ask questions later when Naruto stop crying. one of the Shadows seem to run towards Naruto hugging him as well. Draco remember that Krishna came from a long line of Darksiders in fact her branch of the Uzumaki never stopped using the Spells they learned about the darkness even when they were pregnant apparently through generations through these actions gained them a deep connection with the heartless.

he guess that Naruto inherited his mother's connection. if so he has an innate talent to command the heartless but he also remembered that that innate connection has to be activated through pure instinct Naruto didn't activate it when he collected the shadow cores so that means when he went inside his mindscape he had to have commanded the heartless that were inside of him. did he turn the nine tails into a heartless or did he save it. that will be the question he will ask because he knows how Naruto commanded the heartless through his connection.
