Kurono's house

This is my, Kurono Kamizuru's house.

I'm lying in my bed when I hear a disturbance outside. I ignore it until I notice that people are screaming. I look outside to see some people are coughing up a black substance.
Huh. This isn't good. I think as I tie a cloth over my mouth so I won't get sick.

Maybe I should try to find something to help... I think.

I look back outside again.

I begin daydreaming. I snap out of it suddenly when I hear lots of screaming. I see villagers killing others out of pure panic of the spreading plague.

I think of helping the other villagers, but hate stops me. What did they every do to help me ever... always calling me stupid, a monster, or demon. I think as I turn away from the window.

I begin to wander as I daydream. I finally get too bored and decide to go train.

I get home, thinking about all the events that have occured. Jinchuriki I say aloud to myself. When I say the word Jinchuriki, suddenly the trap door that I had seen many times but could never open, popped open in the corner of the room.

I approach the trap door cautiously. I see stairs leading into a basement room that appears lit already. I walk down the stairs, still tightly holding my bloody swords. When I reach the bottom, I see a huge underground room lit with torches that are probably under a jutsu to never go out. There's elaborate decorations all over, two couches, and a fire place. A table sits between the two couches and there are several scrolls sitting on top of it.

A note is also sitting on top of the scrolls. I pick it up and read it.

"Dear Kurono, these scrolls will help answer some of the questions you probably have right now." And the signature on the bottom was unreadable.

I fold the note up and set it next to the scrolls and sit on the couch looking at the scrolls.

I pick up the first scroll on the left. I open it and begin reading it. It is about the five tailed demon Houkou. 5 tails...! That's what I must have inside me! I think. I read all that is written on the scroll to learn about the five tailed beast. Another note of the same hand writing is stuck on the bottom.
"We put this beast inside of you to protect you and this clan. Use this power wisely for you will not have an easy life."

I stare at the sketched picture of Houkou that was underneath of the note.
I wonder if there is any way to communicate with this thing inside me?
I put the Houkou scroll down after closing it again. I pick up the next one, which is a scroll explaining about the clan and the history until a little before they were all destroyed except for me. So they were destroyed by Konoha in a war...

Anger flares up in me towards Konoha. Why did they have to kill my clan? I start feeling angrier and then I hear a voice in my head. I can lend you power and together we can destroy Konoha and all of the ninja's who killed your parents... Who are you? You know who I am, I am the five tailed Houkou. I concentrate on the voice and begin to meditate.

(This is in my head.)
I see a large cavern. Where are you? I call out in my head. Make it through my puzzle illusion and I will show myself to you.

Suddenly thousands of boxes appear before me. Find the box... that is blue. I look at all of the boxes surrounding me. They all appear to be blue. I step backwards, realize that there was a box there. I look down when I notice I don't fall. My foot looks like it's sticking out of the box. I back away and realize that probably all except one box is an illusion.

I concentrate and focus on calming myself. I must see past the illusions... After focusing, I open my eyes. I look at the boxes and begin walking around the room. My eyes land on a box. This is it!

I grab at the box and my hand goes through. Huh...? I was sure that this was the one!?! A big laugh resounds throughout the cavern. The illusion gets stronger the longer you take.

I begin looking around more quickly. I run more quickly around, looking everywhere. I stop realizing the truth. None of them are real. Are they?

A coarse chuckle fills the room. Finally someone who passes... The huge five tailed Houkou appears before me. I have been waiting.

(still in my head.)
The Houkou was a very impressive sight and I feel a twinge of fear that I quickly suppress. I must not show fear. Houkou inspects me. You are not that strong. You need to get stronger. I'm not going to be lending you chakra whenever you get scared, I'm not going to save you all of the time now that you know about me. Go, get stronger.

I wake again and rub my head. This is becoming complicated...

I think about the conversation with the five tailed. I do need to get stronger. I think as I leave my house after closing the trap door. Nobody else must see those scrolls.

I step into my house. So annoyingly complicated... I think. A plague is going around town, closing the ninja academy and I have just learned a lot about my past...

I look towards the trap door. I walk over to it. Jinchuriki I whisper. The door opens, I descend the stairs, and close the door behind me.

I lay down on one of the couches, thinking of all that's happened. I wonder what's going on... what's going to happen... how do I use this beast inside of me? Sheesh, so many questions... I hear the Houkou's voice inside of my mind say.

I begin to meditate and find myself in the cavern again, this time the Houkou is in plain sight, standing in front of me. But they're important questions all of the same. Really, and how do you know that? I think for a bit.

Hmmm... I guess in some ways I don't. But it depends on how much knowledge that person has on the subject on which they are inquiring on to how important the question is. Well said. But I'm sure sitting on a couch isn't going to get answers... You have a point there. I think as I arise from the meditation.

* Stands in front of the house and begins to knock on the door *

I suddenly hear a faint knocking. I quickly get up, I leave the other room, closing the trapdoor behind me and open the front door to see who it is. Oh, hello again, Kuro.
