Kurama pauses as the haze clouding his mind due to the influence of a Sharingan vanishes and looks around. It takes him a few seconds to realize where he is and barely even another to figure out that something is off. There are only four faces carved into the mountainside and the only time he has ever seen Konoha like this…
It shouldn't be possible—not by any means that Kurama is aware of—and yet he is most certainly in the past. He is most definitely in Konoha on the night that Naruto had been born—the night that Uchiha Obito had tried to capture him—but this particular moment on that night—on this night—is a crucial one. A deciding moment.
Whatever is going on—whatever has caused this—Kurama no longer wishes to destroy Konoha. No, what he wants is to return to his jinchūriki—to return to Uzumaki Naruto—but he doesn't know how possible it will be. There isn't anyone here willing to communicate with him—to even think positively of him—and yet he has to try. Even if it means letting Obito escape for now.
Kurama stands up slowly and carefully, doing his absolute best to avoid taking any more lives of the people that inhabit Konoha, unaware that many of the shinobi preparing to take him on have noticed the abrupt change in his behavior. It's a trifle harder to avoid damaging the buildings when some of the empty streets are narrower than others but Kurama manages to pick his way out of Konoha much to the confusion of the shinobi watching him. It helps that he isn't being attacked anymore, something that he only realizes once he's made it over the wall around Konoha.
Kurama glances back towards the village and finally notices that none of the shinobi seem to be pursuing him, not even the Sandaime. Well, they hadn't been up until now because he can see a few of them starting to give chase. He knows that they intend to drive him even further away from Konoha, just like the last time, but Kurama isn't going to give them a chance to catch up and attack him. Even though their attacks might not harm him—not like the Shiki Fūjin the Yondaime had used on him the last time—Kurama doesn't fancy letting himself get attacked.
Speaking of the Yondaime…Kurama's senses prickle and he spies Gamabunta on the opposite side of Konoha with the Yondaime on his head. He knows what's going to come next, he's not exactly looking forward to it but at the very least he will be where he belongs. He doesn't think that there's anything he can do to prevent the use of the Shiki Fūjin, not when no one will even stop to-
"You didn't do this last time." Kurama's ears twitch and he turns his attention from the Yondaime and Gamabunta down to the stretch of forest just in front of him. Carefully perched on one of the higher branches of a tree barely even a hundred feet from Kurama, his Sharingan active and whirling, is a young Uchiha Itachi.
Itachi's mere presence is enough that Kurama falters, for a second, before what Itachi had said finally registers with him and he scrutinizes Itachi. He can't help but notice the bundle that Itachi is holding close to his chest, an infant Sasuke, and for one second the urge to attack overwhelms him. He staves it off, if only because it is what Naruto would want him to do, and focuses solely on Itachi. "Neither did you, Uchiha," he rumbles out, his tails twitching.
For a fraction of a second Itachi looks surprised to receive a response from him but he quickly schools his expression into one of perfect neutrality. Too perfect for his supposed age but based on his comment Kurama can only suspect, even dare to hope, that Itachi is experiencing something similar to his situation. "You… you are the Kyūbi that was sealed into Naruto."
"Indeed I am," Kurama confirms then glances back towards Konoha to check on where the Yondaime is at. Gamabunta is gone, as is the Yondaime, meaning that time has run out for him—that he is seconds from being whisked away. "Get out of here before-"
"You do not need to worry about the Yondaime just yet, I have bought us some time with my Tsukuyomi." Kurama's ears twitch again slightly, this time because Itachi's voice sounds more like what he recollects from Naruto's interactions with him than the voice of the child he has run into. Sure enough, Itachi looks like the one from before when Kurama turns his attention back to him and even more curiously is that the infant Sasuke is nowhere to be seen. "Though I am not certain I can hold you in Tsukuyomi for very long."
Kurama is rendered speechless, having not sensed the moment the genjutsu had been placed on him and lowers himself onto his haunches as he stares at Itachi. The shift was flawless, though he supposes that he might have missed it because he had been more concerned with the Yondaime than anything else at the time. Still, it is an impressive feat, especially with how young Itachi currently is, which with that in mind Kurama does his best to reign in his massive amount of chakra in hopes to make it easier for Itachi to maintain.
Itachi returns the stare, his expression nearly unreadable, then very subtly shifts his weight onto his heels. "You are very different from what I remember," he comments after a few beats of silence.
"That would be Naruto's doing," Kurama answers truthfully and his gaze moves past Itachi to the mountains on the horizon.
"And this as well?" Itachi's question has Kurama returning his gaze to him, provoking the thought that Naruto might have something to do with their peculiar situation.
"Perhaps." The idea certainly has merit but the last Kurama recalls of Naruto… isn't any good. The desire to return to Naruto pulses through him again, stronger than before and he shifts his weight on his forepaws restlessly while his gaze returns to the mountains. "I need to get back to him."
