Chapter 1
The darkness stirred all around me, and I kept trying to make sense of things.
Awareness was a fickle thing here, and I couldn’t remember for how long I have been here — one moment I would have the awareness in me, but when I try my best to make any movement the pain that almost causes me to black out along with the confusion that follows wouldn’t let me do so. Then, I’d lose all the awareness.
The darkness awaiting me; it was all I have ever known since I awoke here in this place. A constantly stirring and silent place, where I could hear droplets of water dripping — an infinite manner.
How long have I been here? Days? Weeks? Months? Decades?
Without sight.
Without feeling.
Denied of Awareness.
It was too much to take. Hard enough to imagine that this must be the afterlife and that I must be dead. Ever since I got here, I hadn’t eaten anything and still I breathed the same.
What was happening? I had read somewhere that when people are in a coma, they’re always aware of things happening around them; they can hear people talking and can also fall asleep like a normal person.
Is that what’s happening to me, but if it was how come there is no one that’s speaking around me?
Ahhh~ Slowly and surely, I was getting awareness; I could maintain my consciousness for a longer time now. I was slowly able to feel my body, but still couldn’t move it in the slightest. It was a strange feeling, akin to being asleep while fully awake at the same time. Having a body but feeling as though it didn’t belong to me was something I’ve never experienced after all.
So, I waited as time passed.
And waited.
And waited.
It wasn’t in vain, I realized something while I waited all along.
I would be sucked into a strange dream randomly every time I lost consciousness. Memories that weren’t mine would play in front of me; it was akin to watching a VR movie with all the senses present without realizing that you were watching it. It felt real, as real as it can be.
In those memories I was a being that was huge in the true sense and whoever this memory belonged to seem to always be in the forests, near lakes and hills. Observing and sleeping most of the time. Other life forms were tiny compared to me, and would always choose to wisely avoid me if they ever saw me from afar.
Was I a dinosaur or something?
I recall asking myself that question but then I truly realized how fucked up I was!
I wasn’t just big; I was huge in the truest sense.
And also, did I mention that I had 9 orange fluffy tails all at least 400 to 550 meters in length? I was also around 250 - 300 meters in height. That’s when I realized that I might be in some deep shit!
I realized then and there that I was in a well-known anime that went on for over a decade in my old world, It was an anime that even I watched as a child and practically grew up on it.
I knew who I was. I was Kurama the fearsome fox demon, the Nine Tailed Fox!
As this realization grew up on me, I freaked out just as any normal person would, I didn’t feel even a bit of joy as someone who hitched a ride in a transmigration troupe. I felt so terrified that I lost consciousness once more.

This consciousness drift, I truly acted as a spectator.
Everything that I did weren’t under my control but still I felt as though it was me who willed it to occur. It felt surreal, like the subconscious mind deep within the conscious mind. I became an unwitting observer, a spectator in a reality not my own. These memories were vivid, immersive, as though I was experiencing them firsthand, yet detached, like a passenger in a mesmerizing but uncontrollable journey.

The plot of the canon occurred as it should’ve, with me not being able to influence anything at the slightest.
I observed as at the dawn of formation of the shinobi village one day Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers appeared so as to capture the Nine Tailed Fox, but it had eaten them whole without even batting an eyelid at that time. He also felt them not getting digested and feeling pain as they ate upon his flesh clinging on to their dear life. The Kurama that time got pissed so he regurgitated them and swatted them to their deaths.
A few years after, there came another one, a man with wild hair in a samurai armored uniform. I actually easily identified who this was the moment I saw him, after all who didn’t know the ghost of Uchiha. It was Madara but how could Kurama know who that person was?
Kurama only saw a crazy, red-eyed bastard that suddenly began to give speeches after which unknowingly he got easily manipulated by those red eyes.
He was forced to act like a machine / a puppet for destruction until another wood spewing bastard came. Who I identified as Hadhrami Senju, the First Hokage.
I knew where this was going as like in the plot this would be the final battle between both of them.
Kurama POV:
This bastard was strong; even if it was tiny, this person was almost half as strong as him. This person managed to stop the bastard with red eyes “killed him” and just when the Kurama thought he was free, he was sealed within a red-haired woman by that wood spewing bastard. He remembered them saying it was for the greater good while stripping away his freedom at his weakest state. Then and there the Nine Tailed Fox had come to hate them for their hypocrisy.
I could feel the emotions the Nine Tails was going through and truly what it was feeling wasn’t hate but sorrow for the fact that they were so terrified of him that they would seal him rather than trying to communicate with him.
After a few decades before Miko the one who the Kurama was sealed within died he again got sealed within another red-haired woman.
A few years after the woman was pregnant, after the birth of the child he again got controlled by another red-eyed bastard. He was forced to go on a rampage once more, then as luck would have it, I saw Minato split him up in two then seal one part inside of himself while the other part of him got sealed inside of Naruto who was still just an infant.

After living a whole life again, Gary vaguely realized how he got here. The Nine Tailed Fox, just after it was sealed inside the infant Naruto; his soul which mysteriously got into his world fused with the fox’s soul, but it certainly felt as though he was the only personality here. The Nine Tails’ memories proved him as he couldn’t sense any other consciousness. But as He Lived as though he was Nine tails, he had all the experience and strength of the real one and maybe more.
“This feels Strange” I spoke for the first time, which was very strange as I only needed to open my mouth and think about the words then the words would come out and the body no longer felt foreign anymore. It felt like my own and why wouldn’t it? I lived another whole life on it, kind of.
Slowly opening my eyes, I saw big iron bars reaching straight up to the void. Below me were waters where I was laid upon. Still, the huge body of mine felt majestic in its own right. The tails were sprawled across the floor, and they looked fluffy!
Looking at the body, I got up from my laying position. Stretching the whole body which caused the water below to quake.
“Ahhhhh how good this feels!!!” I said, as I moved my tails left and right. After a while I laid down once more, not thinking about anything in particular. I was carefree and relaxed and why would I? I didn’t have Nine tail’s Hatred for humans; I was immortal, and was without doubt among the strongest in the current era. The only few beings that were truly able to kill me would not be more than 3. So, I planned to take this as a Vacation while watching Naruto in Real life.
Still, I’d like to perfect myself as the current me even split and having as much chakra reserves as Hashirama at his prime am still just a beast, only being able to use my body and tailed beast bomb to fight.
It was mainly this reason that the original Kurama was defeated most of the Time. He was without a doubt very strong but as he never found a challenge, he never bothered to develop any techniques, solely relying on his body and massive chakra reserves. This was something that needed to change.
I was too vulnerable to Genjutsu, sealing Justus, Amaterasu and shinobi that were able to absorb my chakra. The few people being able to do this being: Obito, Hahirama, Itachi and may be other mysterious beings like the White Snake Sage.
That being said, how Long was I out for?
Oops! If it’s already the start of cannon that’s going to suck, Or maybee it was always supposed to be like this as in the story it was never mentioned when Kurama woke up after being sealed. It was understandable as it would take him some time to heal from a soul injury of that level.
“I hope it’s not starting yet” voiced out Gary as he by instinct looked down at the waters which blurred for a moment then instead of seeing his own reflection, he saw a Familiar Yellow Haired Child.
