Saga of Tanya the Kunoichi

"You brat… we finally met…". The demonic deep voice sends chill down Tanya's spine.

"You are… different from the rest…". Kyuubi's hot breath filled with evil chakra hits Tanya's face as he speaks.

While he only sees glimpses at times, it's enough to know the human in front of her is not quite normal.

First thing is Tanya's abnormal intelligence. He can read and write… probably since her birth. Add to the fact that her spiritual power is greater than even Madara.

It's as if the person standing in front of him had 2 lives behind him.

Also, Tanya is unaware that Being X trying to always convert her in past life improved her spiritual power. It's a 'god' trying to cast genjutsu onto her after all; and Tanya resisted it.

There's something amiss when he sees Tanya's usual life. Reading books. Drinking coffee. Training. It's like the person in front of him has figured out her way of life completely from birth.

In Kyuubi's imagination, supposedly, she is born an orphan and should at least look depressed and lonely like the other brat. And had stupid dreams.

Kyuubi can't understand her.

He can tell it will be very difficult to control her or manipulate her. It will be very difficult to use hatred or pain to control Tanya - and even if he could, Tanya had too much spiritual power and could resist. The only chance he has to make the brat hateful and angry is if he can make her life a living hell entirely, and use Naruto to achieve that. But he cannot do that himself.

His only bet is hoping his other half to escape and get him out of this bizarre brat. Or for the brat's brother to get into enough trouble for Tanya to have hatred and pain inside her that he can use.

"What are you…?". Kyuubi asked an honest question.

Tanya looks at Kyuubi warily. She did feel fear for her life at first, but upon closer inspection, and further deduction, she can conclude it's safe for now. She almost forgot the creature even existed inside of her since it was so silent for 7 years.

Add to the fact that Kyuubi can, in fact, communicate like a normal human being. This also makes it different as to how Tanya would approach the 'monster'.

"To answer your question, I am Tsuyu Uzumaki".

Tanya replied calmly, with no hint of emotions wanting to see how far they can communicate.

"I know that, brat! Are you mocking me?!". Clang!! He branded his claws against the cage.

"You have been watching me?".

Kyuubi is silent. He doesn't know how to deal with this abnormal brat. She can even speak calmly in front of me! The feared Kyuubi! I should be feared!!! She should have cowered!

Tanya assumes it's a yes, otherwise how would Kyuubi know of her name.

"I am Kyuubi… the 9 tailed monster… the embodiment of hatred… I caused destruction and death!".

Kyuubi slammed the gate with his claws, causing deep marks on them. He had a sinister grin as he watch Tanya. He will plant the seed of hatred inside of her!

"I WAS THERE WHEN YOU WERE BORN. YOUR FATHER… YOUR MOTHER… I CAN STILL FEEL THEIR FLESH AND BLOOD WHEN I PIERCE THEM WITH MY VERY CLAW… Hahahaha...".

Kyuubi let out an evil laughter.

"And I will kill you the same… grrr…". Kyuubi let out a low demonic roar.

That's… quite disturbing. Is this fox a sociopath? The type that finds pleasure in killing? Or it's angry at something?

"...". Tanya had never taken her parents death personally though so she doesn't feel much. But having a sociopathic monster inside her body that finds pleasure in killing purely; it is definitely a no no. If the fox is just angry and had mental issues coming from somewhere she could mediate she believes.

Tanya thought for a second before taking a deep breath.

"Kyuubi…-san, I personally do not take offense to what has happened. As for my parents, I never knew them". Tanya made a gesture as if dismissing the death of her parents as something trivial and she had let it go.

"So, I believe we both can communicate and we can talk on a common ground. I presume you had your own reason for your actions, and I am not the kind to judge without knowing the full information", Tanya said calmly. 

Kyuubi is taken aback by the response; almost choking on words to say. He feels like he's talking to a demon in human skin.

"DON'T YOU CARE THAT YOU ARE RAISED A LONELY BRAT, AN ORPHAN WITH NO ONE?! THAT I HAD KILLED THE VERY PERSON WHO GIVES BIRTH TO YOU!?". Kyuubi's big face is pressing against the red cage, glaring at Tanya.

He is unconvinced and cannot accept Tanya's response!

"I do not feel lonely. I do have people around me". Tanya is honest on this one.

"And I really do not take it personally, regarding my parents death. I am willing to let it go. We should be able to communicate. After all, you are living inside of me. We will be meeting a lot from now on. I don't want to be on bad terms with you nor do I have a reason to".

She is not immature nor childish and won't let emotions take precedence. 

She does feel dissatisfied that the fox killed her parents since she could have had wealth, status, and even the teleportation jutsu her dad had used. But for her, the events back then are something she cannot control anyways.

Kyuubi, although surprised, perhaps disturbed at the eerily calm conversation, kept his pride and didn't want to show weakness.

'... Communicate?! With a human!? I would never! You humans only ever see us as weapons, as a slave to your greed! I would never stoop so low to communicate with you humans! I will never accept it!', Kyuubi once again slammed his claws at the gates and gnashed his teeth.

"...?".

What is wrong with this fox. I am sure this is their first proper meeting. And what others did never concerned her to begin with. I never asked my father to put him inside of me and I never wanted it. If he wants to blame anyone, blame that guy. Placing anger and blame on someone innocent achieves nothing. 

Tanya takes another deep breath, trying to form the right words.

"Kyuubi-san, I want you to know, I mean no harm and have no interest nor vendetta against you. Perhaps we both can find what is best for both of us". Tanya added the honorific because he wants to acknowledge and show respect like any other person.

Kyuubi roared to Tanya's face, making Tanya squeezed her face for a second. She wiped the saliva splattered on her cheek, her face frowning feeling a little disgusted.

'Liar! You humans are deceiving! I have seen it all! I won't believe it!'.

Kyuubi said in anger. Though a part of him felt a weird kind of acceptance for a moment because Tanya added an honorific and had been talking to him properly since the beginning. And it's as if she is really considering him.

Though he quickly denied himself due to his hatred and pride.

Tanya is thinking at the moment, but she remembered something far more important than confronting this emotionally constipated foxzilla. The sudden meeting with this fox makes her forget the immediate emergency.

"Naruto…", Tanya felt worried for Naruto's safety. If her guess is correct, somehow the Kyuubi inside of him manages to get out. She has to get out of this place quickly.

Kyuubi can sense what Tanya is thinking and just kick her out of the subconscious space, not wanting to waste his time talking with the weird human. Or so he tried but Tanya wouldn't bulge. 

Her spiritual power is too overwhelming damn it! Kyuubi cursed.

Tanya felt some kind of force tugging her to a certain way outside. She suppose it's the way out.

"I will come back to talk to you, Kyuubi-san", Tanya said calmly as her consciousness returned to her body.

"DON'T COME BACK!!! RAHH-". Kyuubi roared. Tanya didn't even bother to stay until his roar was finished and leave midway.

Kyuubi slammed the gate in frustration over and over again.

***

Her consciousness returns to the body. She felt disoriented at first but regained her senses.

She looks again at the direction feeling the evil energy. The alarms sounded all over, and the red flare painted the night like it's hell coming to earth.

Naruto…

Tanya bit her lips in frustration. She is unsure if she can do anything to help Naruto. She has no power right now. But, she needs to go there. It is her responsibility. 

He is my brother.

Tanya ran off towards the direction. She saw shinobi's and masked ANBU started to guide the others away from the scene. Some screaming Kyuubi is attacking, panicking as they run in fear.

Tanya sees a woman shaking and trembling in fear, shaken up by the sounds of alarms and the red sky. It is reminds the woman of the trauma seeing the death and destruction 7 years ago.

Suddenly a masked man flickered to Tanya's side.

'Tsuyu. Come with me. It is not safe'. It is the ANBU directed by Sandaime to watch over her.

"No, I have to go to my brother", Tanya said resolutely.

'Under the order of the Hokage, you have to follow me. Otherwise I will have to use force'. The ANBU said coldly.

Tanya bit her lips. She can't disobey the order of the Hokage. 

But then the ANBU noticed something amiss from Tanya's words prior.

'Wait. You know…?'.

Shit. It's supposed to be a secret! Wait… no, actually, every adult knows anyways. Okay… it's good. Relax Tanya!

"I heard from someone. They say my brother had a fox demon in him. But he is my brother! I have to get him!", she uses her acting skills.

The ANBU nods under the mask. It made sense so he doesn't question it.

'But you are just a kid. You cannot do anything. Leave it to us. Sandaime and others will save him. Have trust in Konoha'.

Tanya bit her lips. She needs to see Naruto. She can't just abandon him. She raised him for 7 years. Not like this. 

…

'Come with me, I will have to use force if you don't comply'.

"Wait, maybe I can help. I could bring him back, maybe! I am his sister!". Tanya is not sure if her presence could help, but at least in common tropes of stories, the presence of loved ones can do that to those taken over by monsters or in case of possessions.

The ANBU sighed behind the mask. 

The man in front of her suddenly disappeared. And instantly he is right behind Tanya. His hand striking right towards the back of Tanya's neck!

Tanya senses the danger and quickly dodge it.

Nani?! The ANBU gasped as Tanya used a backswing to block his move. And before he can properly comprehend it, Tanya uses a body flicker and appears behind his back.

She does the same chop with extra strength from her use of Raging Fist, she knocks him unconscious! The chunin ANBU that's only assigned to only watch her doesn't have the skills to react to such an unexpected situation.

The ANBU plopped to the ground like a ragdoll.

The Hokage won't be too unreasonable towards a 7 years old child logically. The punishment shouldn't be worth mentioning.

While Tanya follows order, but only if it has more benefit to herself. And now the situation calls for it.

Tanya quickly uses body flicker roof to roof to reach where Naruto is, constantly avoiding other shinobi in sight.

She stood above a higher altitude. Overseeing the panic spreading across the village currently. Beyond the blasts and chaos, there it is…

Naruto!

She sees him, or it. A figure coated in thick dark red chakra, with 6 tails behind it. As if what stood there wasn't her brother, but a beast.

Naruto had lost control over himself. Taken over by the hatred inside of his heart.
