Poof! Windwindwind click!
"Now there is," said Toltiir, having (somehow) rewound a DVD and now putting it into a player. "I just had to borrow an aspect of it."
The Sealing was ready, the Fourth Hokage standing ready to activate the process with one single gesture at this point.With a scream that would have overwhelmed a passenger jet taking off, a bird that looked as if it were entirely composed of flame struck the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
The Fourth Hokage hesitated, as the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was CUT IN HALF by a single attack.
The colossal bird turned, ignoring the fallen foe, as it contemplated the mote before it.
That mote, being the Fourth Hokage, made the gesture but turned the result.
The Twelve Tailed Beast screeched again, flattening a few trees that had somehow remained standing before now. Then it was gone, sealed within the child Naruto.
It didn't take long for the Fourth Hokage to realize that the Nine-Tails was in a coma but somehow still alive. Had it been a living creature, even a colossal summons like the Boss Toad, it would have been dead but somehow the Beast was still clinging to life. Even if a good portions of its insides were now outside. It's life force was sufficient that it was still holding on somehow
Much, realized the Fourth Hokage, as he himself was.
Weakened as it was, he could probably seal it without much difficulty even in his current state. A scroll would be sufficient for now. Later though - it would recover and menace things anew.
Who could he seal it in? Not Naruto, that would likely kill him - and that would invalidate the sealing attempt as intent was important.
Ah, that would work.
"HOW COULD I BE BESTED?!" roared the Demon Fox as it began to fade.
"Simple," said Toltiir. "One through Nine Tails, you're local storms of destruction - yourself being a being of rage and destruction. The Phoenix is more a universal thing, a creature of Creation And Destruction, evocative of universal cycles. It is the Phoenix, and Naruto has an aspect of it sealed within him."
"It could be even more destructive than myself?" asked the fading Fox.
"Oh yes, it could conceivably devour this world's sun," admitted Toltiir. "The seal will begin weakening when he's twelve or so. Probably minor telepathic and telekinetic abilities, or maybe pyrokinesis. We'll see I suppose. Now for numbers ten and eleven. Would a Ten Tailed Prinny be too much you suppose?"
"What of me? What are you doing to me?" asked the Nine Tails.
"Oh, you're still sealed. A little bit more mellow because you've grown up within a container and healed over a decade's time," said Toltiir. "A little more observant, a little less perpetually pissed."
"Where?" asked the Demon Fox, now almost completely gone.
"Oh, where were you sealed?" asked Toltiir. "You were sealed -"
