7 CH 6: The Day the Weapon was Activated [6]

"I am the Kyuubi no Youko (Nine-tailed Demon Fox)," that loud and creepy statement made the whole strange space rumble, "Don't make fun of me, you filthy midget! That day you were the one who locked me up!"

"I didn't do anything!" the little boy shouted back, bursting into tears.

Then a subtle light invaded the place and finally Naruto, in the middle of his crying, could see that that sinister entity was a reddish furred fox several meters tall and with an unhinged expression that watched the naruto with his bloodshot eyes, with the capillary vessels visibly highlighted. He was restrained by a huge, thick metal collar that held him firmly in that prison by a thick golden chain and prevented him from freeing himself.

"As soon as I get out of here, I'm going to take over your body," bellowed the beast, thunderously hitting the bars.

"Silence, Kyuubi...".

The Bakegitsune and the little one were surprised with that serious and deep voice that was heard in all directions. Little by little, near the little one, several particles of crimson light began to gather gradually to slowly form human form, to the bewilderment of both present.

"The time has finally come for us to meet, Saikyou Buki (The Strongest Weapon)...".

Finally, the bearded Akahige finished appearing in front of the blondie, turning his back to the prison that contained the Kyuubi... The last leader of the Uzumaki maintained a calm expression, ignoring the threatening presence of the most powerful of the Bijūu.

"W-Who are you?" While Naruto asked the question, the Kyūubi was interested in the answer as well.

"It would be more correct to say that I was Akahige, the last Uzukage of the Uzushio Ninja village..."Those words caught the Bijūu's attention "And I'm afraid to say, that you are about to die..."

"Eh-Eh?"The boy was taken aback by those words.

"The special seal that was left in your genetic code to inform you of your mission has been activated, although it was supposed to happen at a later age," continued the red-haired man.

"Am I going to die?" The boy was visibly frightened.

"No..."akahige cut off the blond's fear "This special seal was designed for such an emergency, because by revealing your true mission and giving you access to all the abilities you were equipped with, you will be able to turn the situation around and overcome it, and then begin to achieve the purpose for which you were conceived..."

"You speak of him as if he were a tool rather than a child" Thought the Kyūubi analytically.

"B-But I... I don't understand", muttered the little one visibly confused.

"When the seal that is in your genetic code is completely released, you will understand the purpose of your manufacture and finally justice will be done to our people..."Akahige deliberately ignored the doubts of the little blond "The time has come, Saikyou Buki..." The last leader of the Uzumaki declared firmly, as he placed his hand on the forehead of the little one.

"I-I don't want to," The boy looked more and more fearful.

"You don't have a choice, Saikyou Buki... You can choose to fulfill your purpose or just die" The redhead cruelly sentenced, causing the little boy to start crying silently

"If it's true that that damned dwarf received special abilities, I can possibly use them once I destroy the brat's soul and take over his body" The Bijūu thought about how he would carry out his move "It will be easy to defeat that cowardly dwarf in his own mind..."

"{Henshuu no Fuin: Kai}(Seal of Compilation: Release)..."Said Akahige, beginning to release a subtle crimson Chakra from the hand that had contact with the little boy.

"Ah...!" cried the boy horribly, when he felt that intrusion in his mind.

Soon the little boy's mind was invaded by all the information that the spiral project work team encoded in that gene, everything he needed to know about its capabilities and all the history of the Uzumaki Clan, as well as its ultimate goal to restore the clan and take revenge on the Ninja villages....

While the last Uzukage watched indifferently, the Kyūubi rejoiced in the suffering of the little boy, who with each fragment of information lost part of his innocence and naivety, to become the weapon conceived during the Spiral Project. The intense pain that the little boy suffered in his head did not last too long, since in about 10 seconds at most, the process ended and Akahige withdrew his hand from Naruto's head, who remained with his head bent down.

"Well, Saikyou Buki... I hope everything is clear in your mind", the red-haired man murmured seriously, observing the blond expectantly.

"Yes, Uzukage-sama... Everything has become clear"The little blond raised his eyes.

He was no longer a child...

Now that he knew the truth of his origin, the little boy's gaze had visibly darkened and he appeared to be a shinobi with years of experience in special stealth assassination missions rather than an infant of barely 5 years old. He had the knowledge about the capabilities he possessed and the reason why he had been developed and conceived.

"Very well, Saikyou Buki..." muttered the Uzukage seriously, "Now the whole future of the Uzumaki is in your hands... Fulfill your mission...".

"As you say, Uzukage-sama..." recited the little boy gloomily.

"Well then, it is time for the seal to dissipate...".

Little by little, that manifestation of Chakra left behind to channel the Saikyou Buki, began to slowly fade away. And when the appearance of the Chakra that the Uzukage had left in that seal, the blond closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened them with a visibly hardened look. He turned to look at a bewildered Kyuubi, who, upon seeing those sinister eyes, was involuntarily intimidated...

"You know Kyuubi," the Chakra-formed monster looked at the little 'boy' in bewilderment.

"What do you want," he gritted his teeth, anxious.

"You were unlucky..."To the Kyūubi's bewilderment, Naruto quickly performed a brief sequence of hand seals.

"Can you perform Ninjūtsu!" The beast was truly stunned

"{Kinton: Atsuteikin} (Metal Release: Imperial Suppression Necklace)!

The Bijūu immediately felt a strange oppression, as if it suddenly lost all its enormous power. Then he noticed that the binding on his neck glowed slightly....

"It can't be..." The Bakegitsune began to feel his body heavy and his Chakra flow became erratic to the point of being unable to control it in order to defend himself "What the hell are you doing to me!!!" he bellowed crazed in rage.

"It's Chakra Kinton (Metal Element) of the Uzumaki Clan..."replied the boy seriously and calmly, leaving the monster unmoved "As the Uzukage said, I was conceived with unique abilities with the purpose of rebuilding the glorious Uzumaki Clan and become its ultimate weapon to prevent the Ninkai (Ninja World) from attacking them again in the future... "At that moment Naruto sketched a soft dark smile that surprised the Bijūu "The Spiral Project was the Uzumaki conception of a righteous sword that would retribute the destruction of Uzushio... And I am that sword" The blond's eyes were filled with a somber glee "And you know? I'm going to use your power like no one ever has, because I'm going to steal every last drop of Chakra from you without you being able to avoid it and from today you will be nothing more than an infinite battery of power for me...".

Naruto clasped his hands together in front of his face to form a seal that puzzled the Bijūu even more. And then, from the floor of that dungeon emerged a dragon that was apparently made of wood and whose jaws opened to launch itself at full speed towards the Kyūubi's neck, who upon feeling those pointed teeth that dug into his flesh like painful splinters, launched a chilling shriek into the air.

"{Mokuton: Genkiryu} (Wood Release: Mystic Dragon Tree)!

The dragon formed from wood began to coil all over the monster's body, binding it completely as it struggled in vain to free itself from those bonds....

When it was fully captured, the wooden being began to glow subtly and involuntarily the monster's body reacted in the same way moments later.

Gradually, branches with autumnal red leaves began to grow from the dragon's body, which quickly gained size and volume, increasing the severity of the Bakegitsune's imprisonment. The chain that kept him bound broke, but the thick necklace that looked more like a shackle, remained in place even as the Kyūubi's body began to disappear devoured by the branch that emerged from the dragon and slowly consolidated into a single, gigantic tree that rose from the ground and had the fox's head just peeking out of the center of its trunk.
