Chapter 17: Message of the future or just a dream?
......….
"I hope you are ready, Kurama!"
"I am always ready to go!"
A loud sound came from inside his guts. Suddenly, a massive yellow energy burst out of him and turned into a gigantic Chakra Fox.
This massive Chakra Fox covered the entire massive black ball produced by a pale-looking man who had a veil on his face. He had Byakugan and a strange eye on his palm.
Next to him, there was another similar-looking dude while holding a red energy weapon.
The Fox tried to shoot his own black ball but it suddenly stopped.
A middle-aged man who looked just like Naruto but older turned around and smiled.
Then, it was suddenly blank for a moment, only to be followed by him screaming once again. It lasted a few seconds though as someone else suddenly arrived and cut him off from the tree.
The next moment, a battle between eight people erupted, only to be handled by the pale-looking man after his companion turned into a fruit and got eaten by him.
His body had evolved with his Byakugan turning golden and a golden eye appearing on his forehead.
In an instant, he defeated all six of them like it was nothing. Soon, a loud cry appeared from a far.
"Dad"
It was this word that changed everything. The next moment, Older Naruto had a golden cloak around him and the older Sasuke had Rinnegan on his left eye and lightning around him.
The battle erupted between three people. Older Naruto who was pushed back in Taijutsu before began to dominate his opponent.
This battle was so fast that it instantly turned into a battle of giants. Then, it came down the the boy who was Naruto's son appearing in front of and using a strange yet cool move.
It was a massive ball of Chakra similar to the black ball of Chakra but it was blue and the Chakra was constantly spinning.
When Naruto helped his son create this Chakra Spinning Ball, several people's images appeared, the last one being Old Hinata in a beautiful dress.
When the two collided, Naruto's son won but something strange happened.
"Can you sense my presence, human child? You have strongly inherited the power of Otsutsuki however you are still inexperienced. You can't even see through your destiny."
"But, I can see your destiny. Beware! Those blue eyes shall eventually take everything away from you."
"And, know this, those who defeat gods can't remain ordinary individuals."
"Ahhhh!"
Suddenly, a scream emerged from those pictures only to disappear the moment, Naruto woke up from his dream.
"Blue eyes! Haaa! Haaa! Haaa!"
Naruto was left panting heavily. He didn't know what was happening to him but everything he saw was pretty clear in his mind.
"So, you finally woke up! Come inside, brat!"
Suddenly, a loud growl rang in his head.
"Who?"
Naruto was startled. His Gamer Mind was kicking into gears, trying to keep him calm but he was still sweating hard.
Suddenly, his consciousness blanked out for a moment.
His consciousness appeared inside his mind. It was a sewage. He was confused. He looked around, only to hear a growl coming from the front.
He slowly followed that growl.
'That was Chakra. It must be Nine Tails' Chakra. But, where the hell am I?'
As he continued to walk down the hallway, a bright light almost blinded him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a cage.
Behind that cage, he saw a figure with massive teeth and big eyes. He was covered with red Chakra.
"Kid, come closer!"
Naruto's eyes widened when he heard the voice. It was clear, one hundred percent clear. He couldn't forget that voice.
"Kurama!"
Naruto screamed in shock.
Suddenly, he was blasted with a massive Killing Intent that almost froze him for a moment.
"Insolent Brat, do not speak my name. You are not worthy to call my name."
Hearing his words, Naruto's first persona suddenly kicked in even before his Gamer Mind could say something.
"Shut up, you oversized furball! I saw you in my dream. At first, I didn't know but they were clearly there for your Chakra. It's your fault, furball."
"Shut up, brat! Do you think I am the one to blame when I am sealed for so long inside you?" Kurama roared as the light slowly fell on his body.
Suddenly, Naruto didn't speak. For someone who never had any friends or relatives, being sealed or not made no difference.
He raised his head and looked at Kurama for a long time. At this moment, both his old persona and his Gamer Mind were working together.
"You and I were together from my birth, weren't we? I never understand why you were sealed inside of me nor did I learn about you for so long."
"So many people hated me for something that I never done. It hurts, doesn't it? Being at the receiving side of that hatred and anger. I saw you in my dream."
"You and I were so close.... Like brothers. No, you are my brother, the only family that I ever had, the only one who saved me every time I was hurt, and kept me accompanied in though I never you."
"I never learned how I manage to keep all of my hatred and anger at bay. I know it is still here."
He touched his heart.
"It still exists and one day, I would have to face it. And, when I do and when I overcome my hatred, I will come for yours. I will take all of your hatred and become your brother."
"Believe it!"
He shouted.
For a moment, Kurama froze.
Thousand years! It has been a thousand years since someone had truly tried to understand him. Nobody ever looked at him not as a monster but as a being.
The last person who did that was his own father. He wanted to growl. He wanted to send his Chakra and banish Naruto out of his mind.
But, he was so confused by his words that he couldn't even say a word.
It was only after he saw that smile on Naruto's face, that his mind finally calmed down. He didn't release his Chakra nor did he release any Killing Intent.
He just stared at Naruto and said.
"Thousand of years have passed and I have never made a human friend, much less a brother. Do you really think you are the only Jinchuriki I had? Do you really think you are the only one who tried to use my power?"
"What makes you think you are any different than other humans that I've encountered?"
Naruto folded his arms in front of his chest for a moment and said.
"Because I am Naruto Uzumaki."
Suddenly, there was a strange silence in the room. Kurama didn't know what to say while Naruto didn't know why he said.
But, both of them remained silent until Kurama broke that silence.
"You can't control my power. You can't erase my hatred. It is what makes me who I am. But, until then, you can use my powers whenever you want."
"Prove me wrong, Naruto Uzumaki! Prove me that you won't give in to your hatred. Use my power and prove me wrong!"
It almost sounded as if Kurama wanted Naruto to succeed but Naruto didn't care. He grinned and said.
"I won't prove you wrong. I will simply prove to the world that they are wrong. I will prove that you are not a monster made out of anger and hatred."
"I will prove everything that you are Kurama of the Hidden Leaf and Naruto Uzumaki's brother."
"By the way, do you know anything about those people who tried to capture you?"
In an instant, the atmosphere changed. Naruto waited for Kurama to reply until he suddenly opened his eyes and said.
"I can't see your dream, brat."
"Why didn't you say so?" Naruto roared and then calmed down the next moment.
"I saw two people. They had extremely pale skin and horns on their heads. They also had Byakugan but didn't look like Hyuga. I mean Hyuga despite their eyes look like normal humans but they look completely different as if they are….."
"Not human!" Kurama interrupted. His eyes were growing scarily large.
"They are Otsutsuki, brat. They feed on Chakra like other monsters. Since I am the strongest being made out of Chakra. They will definitely target me. Right now, you can't win against them."
"Oh yeah, now that you mention it! When I wasn't using your Chakra, I wasn't able to defeat him. I am pretty sure that was the future me who seemed a lot stronger than the current me."
"And, there were other people as well. I don't know them. One of them could use Sand. The other was a lady who used strange Kekkei Genkai."
"The other two were sword users and they were extremely powerful as well. Finally, there was the future Sasuke. He had strange-shaped eyes. The right one had a strange pupil."
"It was black with a red star and in the middle, there was a shuriken and some lines between them. Then, there was a left eye. It was purple with black spiral rings on them. More importantly, there seem to be six dots on them."
Suddenly, Kurama growled.
"Mangekyo and Rinnegan!"
