Everything Blooms

Twice

Prologue

Everything blooms twice.

This was the thought that was running through Kaguya Otsutsuki's mind as she watched her demise approach her. Demise in the form in her own flesh and blood! She felt rage flow through her veins and felt her heart clench in an unending sorrow as she watched her OWN children about to seal her. How could they do this to her? After all she's done for them you would think they would stand by her side and punish those foolish mortals, but they didn't, no, instead her own children attacked her to save this wretched world. What was in this world that was worth saving?

Humans?

Please they are the lowest of the low, all they ever think about is money, pleasure, and new ways to back stab others. Was she wrong? No. Even if she didn't have the all seeing eyes of her Byakugan, she could easily see what was in front of her. Back stabbing creatures who would do anything to get what they want. Sex, money, property, crime, knowledge, theft, rape, everything is wrong in this world! They called her a demon! She's met demons and Devils sweeter than all the humans put together, the true monsters are them!

Human.

A frown scarred her beautiful face as the word rolled off her tongue in disgust, her own mouth felt rotten after speaking such a word! She felt dirty from speaking the word, like the word somehow managed to soil her every time it was spoken. Humans. They're wrecking this world, the once beautiful and loving earth where she lived her entire life was now filled with pain and hate! Everything in this world at the moment was filled with garbage! So, why is it that when she is trying to change this world to one of peace, everyone opposes her? Even her own sons are trying to kill her!

Damn it!

Can't they understand she's trying to save this world, if this continues all that will be left is war, destruction, and new ways to find pleasure such as killing and rape. No one would be safe. She looked to the right and watched her eldest son, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, come closer in slow motion. He had spiky, shoulder-length, pale-red hair, with a chin-length braid hanging in front of his left ear. His skin was pale and his eyes were purple and rippled, similar to her Rinnesharingan on her forehead. He wore a white, full-length kimono with a pattern of six black magatama around a high collar, beneath which he wore a necklace which was also made up of six black magatama. He sported a small goatee and had horn-like protrusions on his forehead that he inherited from her. On the back of his kimono was a larger red Rinnegan-like marking with a pattern of nine red magatama arranged in three rows of three beneath it. His hand was outstretched towards her and had a strange light colored circle on his palm.

She looked to the left and saw her younger son, Hamura Otsutsuki, coming closer to her with his hand outstretched. Attempting to close the distance that laid between them; her eyebrow rose as she noted the strange dark colored crescent moon on his palm. Hamura was a tall man with featureless white eyes and horn-like protrusions on his forehead which was, like Hagoromo, inherited from his mother. He also had no eyebrows, but had long white hair with bangs combed to the left side of his face, a single chin-length lock hanging from the right side of his face. He wore a light, full-length kimono with a pattern of six black magatama around a high collar and dark pants. His sword was in its sheath, strapped to his left hip and had the pale purple eyes of the Byakugan glowing through the darkness of the night.

Kaguya's eyes narrowed in something akin to confusion as she looked at her son's chakra and noted his eyes seemed to be gathering lots of chakra. All the chakra in his body was being sucked into his purple orbs and she couldn't tell if she was hallucinating when she realized his eyes seemed to be almost glowing.

Kaguya tore her gaze off her youngest son, closing her eyes as she continued to delve through her memories as her end came in slow motion. She loved her sons, she really did, but she couldn't help but curse them as they came closer, especially her eldest. He came up with the bright idea of sharing their holy chakra to humans in order to bring peace to this world.

She wouldn't stand for that.

Humans were already at war now, without chakra, using their fists and swords to kill one another. Now imagine them wielding the holy power of chakra...She shuddered at the horrific thought that would soon become reality. They would destroy the world, how could he not understand this! How could giving them the means to become stronger and kill armies possibly bring peace to this world!

This foolish, foolish world! Her foolish sons! Don't they know by stopping her they are dooming this world to destruction! Step by step this world is falling deeper into the embrace of darkness and forsaking the light. Everyday she would witness something new about this corrupt world. Best friends who have been friends since they were children were suddenly trying to kill each other for a small amount of money. Men demanding sex from females for money or even nothing at all, they would simply force themselves on to them! Crime organizations kidnapping children, women, killing, and thieving for the hell of it before using those terrified women and children for their own twisted pleasure!

Corrupt rich owners creating contests in which the participants killed one another in order to receive their materialistic prize. Even killing for fun!

In this world people don't get what they wish most, and that is a fact. They are subjected to the whims of this reality, that which is filled with suffering and hatred. When there is light there is also darkness, one cannot exist without the other, this world is full of pain and futility, those are the only things that exist in this reality. There are only 'winners' and 'losers' in this world along with the selfish desires to create a lasting peace...but there can be no peace when the world is flooded by rage. The selfish desire of the so called 'peace' will only be temporary and war will rise, hatred is born from the protection of love and more hatred will follow after it like vultures!

Everything she has said is nexuses, bound together by an unbreakable chain that keeps adding on to its links, the chain cannot be broken for they all wear it.

There is no way to break the chain...normally.

This world is filled with hatred and the only possible way to bring it back to its pure shape is to start over, to bring true peace is to destroy the corrupt, destroy the current world, and then build the new one from its ashes. She had the power. She had the resolve. She had the strength to do what others couldn't. She had the heart. She had the image. There was no going back for this world, it was already in the embrace of darkness, it couldn't get out. She could save this world...but her sons opposed her.

They, like her, had immense power, but unlike her they didn't see, or maybe they refused to see, that this world was corrupt, filled with demonic spawn, and that the only way to save this world is to destroy the old one. Her sons actually thought there was still hope for the ones in the world, but they were wrong. The seed of hatred was already planted, and, like everything else, it would grow and become stronger until this whole world was wrapped around its finger. Brothers will kill each other, husbands will beat wives, humans shall eat humans, wives will rape children. Pain and anger will fill this world creating a cycle of hatred that will never be broken. There will only be on word to describe it...hell. This world will become hell on earth.

So as her thoughts continued on this track, she couldn't help but shed a tear for the world that was once pure, the world that knew no corruption, that knew no hatred. Now, though, this world was different, it was now corrupt with the Devil's seeds. She came so far, so close, to creating a new world, it was right in her grasp...but she failed. Anguish blazed in her eyes, Kaguya could see that her sons were only a foot away from her now and coming towards her in an agonizingly slow pace.

It was torturing to say the least, how she was watching her death come in slow motion and could do absolutely nothing to stop it. She looked back to her two sons, one with rippled purple eyes, known as the Rinnegan, which held great power, and the other with her eyes, that of the Byakugan...That should've been the Byakugan.

Her eyes widened in utmost surprise, staring in astonishment at her youngest son, Hamura Otsutsuki. He once had eyes like her, the all seeing eyes of the Byakugan, but, in the midst of their battle, his eyes has been eating chakra like a beast, but she never thought...Thought that something like this would happen. Her eyes showed her amazement for just now...they ascended. Hamura's eyes...ascended to a form that she's never seen before in her entire life. The presence they held, the God-Like power that beared down on her, equaled that of the Rinnegan.

A brilliant blue, shining brightly like the moon, stared at her with remorse, but also with conviction, a conviction to do what is right. Those eyes...they were beautiful. She tore her gaze away from the dazzling eyes, the last sight of beauty she would see in this world, and let a small sigh pass her lips.

Her dismayed eyes looked down upon the realization that, if it wasn't before, it was definitely over now. There was no way she could win this fight. Her eyes took in the landscape surrounding them and not even a bubble of shock passed through her at the completely destroyed area around her. It was completely destroyed from the battle that just took place. The destruction went on for miles and miles, to be perfectly honest, she didn't even know how the Earth held from their titanic attacks.

This battle didn't just affect an area, it affected the whole earth in its entirety. This was a battle that Gods were involved in, the land that once stood beautiful was nothing more than pebbles, separated into huge chunks of Earth that separated into five titanic pieces, but, compared to its size originally, it was nothing more than a pebble.

It looked unrecognizable to most, but she could still make out exactly where she was. Kaguya couldn't help but laugh at the irony, the very place where she was granted her power would be the very same place she would lose it. Yes, the very place where she was about to be killed was the exact place where she picked the Juubi's fruit. The place where she first got her power, the place where she picked her dream...To bring peace to this wretched world by creating a new one. A sad smile crept onto her face as she recalled the precious memories she spent in this area...This place, in a way, had saved her life, it was fitting that this was where she was going to die.

Her eyes shot wide open as she went over what she just thought. She let the faintest of smiles come onto her face and hope flickered in her eyes once again, "I may just have a chance to accomplish my dream yet." This place was about to save her life once again, everything in life happens twice of course, and it was proven here today.

Yes. Her dreams wouldn't die here, no, she would fix this world and bring true peace to this world, "Probably with some help though," She thought begrudgingly before shaking her head. "But no matter, if it works out like how I want it too, he should be a great partner."

She focused all her power, everything including her chakra and almost all of the Juubi's, it would regenerate eventually anyways and she could always get the power she left back later on, and focused it into her right hand. If she put everything she had into it...then it should just work. It started to glow a brilliant gold and Kaguya's Rinnesharingan on her forehead started to glow slightly as she envisioned her will into what she was about to create, the last time it would ever be created.

Her brow furrowed in concentration, making her look even more enchanting than usual, as she worked hard on her creation. She wasn't looking for some average joe either, she was looking for someone with similar ideals.

She was searching for someone who was searching for peace too, someone who was powerful and could handle the power she was about to grant him. Someone who knew what was wrong with this wretched world, someone who was pure of heart. Unfortunately for her, as she was focusing on her creation, she didn't know that the Juubi was also putting it's will into their creation as well.

She heard a mocking laugh echo within the depths of her mind, but she ignored it. Once their wills were shaped and formed in duality, their creation began to glow as its chakra hummed at a satisfactory level. Her creation began to glow even brighter as it levitated above her palm in a small circle.

And, for the first time today, she smiled. It was radiant, akin to the sun rising for the first time in centuries. The warmth in her smile and absolute hope that shimmered in her eyes made the already lovely woman into a goddess.

Her voice, soft and melodious, whispered, "It doesn't matter how long it takes." Her luscious pink lips kissed the light softly and the light started to dim, "I will bring true peace to this world." The light died out and her creation laid silently on her palm, humming with warmth and power.

It was a glowing gold apple.

It wasn't just any apple though...It was the Juubi's apple, the last one to ever be created. Because as they say…

Everything blooms twice.

Thirteen Years After The Kyuubi Attack

Present Time

They say that you see your life flash before your eyes when you die.

They were right...

As memories began to play before him, Naruto couldn't help but think how pathetic his life was in his beginning years. His life was filled with nothing but agony and hatred, every day passed was just another day of torture he lived through. He found it amusing how he didn't break yet, any lesser man, woman, or beast would be foaming from their mouths dead years ago. They would either be taken over by their sorrow and end their pitiful lives or be taken over by their hatred and take revenge on the fools who ruined their lives. It didn't matter what kind of person they were, they would give in to their hidden demons eventually. They would take comfort in the emptiness of death or the blood of battle.

Naruto wasn't like that though and the thought of which made him smile because he knew he wasn't weak. In fact, he'd say he's a rather happy individual...He relented at the mocking laugh in the back of his mind, he supposed that was a little too much.

The people of Konoha hated him, their cold glances and brutal beatings broke him piece by piece, but he never truly broke; at least, not completely. He lived with a mask of happiness on, a mask which only further angered the people of Konoha knowing that they couldn't do anything to break this boy's spirit. But, truly, behind that mask was that of a broken boy, a boy that didn't know why he lived or what the purpose of life was either.

Was life simply a means to torture him? Was that his reason for existence.

Fortunately, his reasons to live slowly came to him. Unfortunately, his first reason was for him to endure the hatred of others so no one else would have to. With those thoughts in mind, he endured their hatred because it was what he was born to do. His second reason to live came to him a few months later: it was to gain the respect and recognition of everyone in Konoha! The only way his five year old brain saw how he could do it was by becoming Hokage.

A kage was the leader of the village, the one respected by all for his power and name; he wanted that. He wanted the recognition, for people to know his name. At the time he became a bit of an "attention whore" per se. He wore a bright orange jumpsuit, make no mistake he loved the color orange, but too much of anything isn't good, so no one could miss him and everyone could see him. It made his life a bit more durable to see people looking at him. At least that way he would know that he was actually living, that he wasn't just an illusion or empty space. Once, when he was wearing his jumpsuit, he happened to see a prank and how everyone would chase after and laugh at the ones who did it. Some would congratulate them, others would give them a fond scolding, but, overall, it made people happy. He wanted that, so he did pranks himself, which he quite enjoyed because it didn't just give him attention, but also gave him experience at being stealthy-which happened to be a huge part of being a ninja.

I shit you not.

Then it happened.

As Naruto saw the memories go by, he realised that this was where he decided to stop being pathetic, this was where his mask broke and he wasn't afraid to come out. This event changed everything for him. It gave him his greatest reason to live, but it was also a moment where he broke and progressed at the same time. It made him into the young man he was today. It was the moment when he truly began to live, when he finally came out of hiding and became the person he truly was.

Flashback

Ten Years After the Kyuubi Attack

Konohagakure No Sato: Hokage's Room

Hiruzen Sarutobi was known by many names: The Professor, the God of Shinobi, and, most notably, the Sandaime Hokage, but, at the moment, he looked like nothing but a weary old man. He stood by the window as his failures haunted his mind again and again. His eyes stared down at the village, Konohagakure, his home he swore to protect when he first became a Shinobi.

His eyes held a mix of sadness, anger, disgust, and shame, his ever present caring smile had long since vanished due to the events of this week and a grim frown has taken it's place. The wrinkles that were usually hidden were shown on his face, making Hiruzen appear that much older. You could see by his actions, or lack of, that he was worried seeing how the pipe he almost always had in his mouth was not present.

He looked tired.

There were bags under his eyes, and his shoulders seemed to be weighed down by an unseen force. He didn't look like the Sandaime Hokage, the one who fought and lived through hundreds of battles, no, right now he looked like an ordinary old man who has seen too much in his lifetime…

"I wonder, Minato-kun, if you knew how this village would treat your son...would you bother saving it? I myself am unsure, to think that the ideals of Hashirama-sensei, the ideals that has been burned into this village, would be this violated." Hiruzen sighed sadly, waiting for news to be delivered to him. News on if they found him...the very reason why he was like this at the moment.

It was all because of one boy, one wonderful happy young boy that had an unfortunate burden placed upon him. The boy he saw as a grandson, he looked at his desk and saw a picture of him standing beside a young blonde haired boy who had a huge foxy grin on his face. They were both holding ice cream cones and you could see how proud Hiruzen was of the boy because his eyes seemed to brim with pride as he looked at the boy.

Yes, it all had to do with one boy. The boy who is the son of the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki. That boy is Uzumaki Naruto, a ten year old boy who held the titanic beast, Kyuubi, away from the village and a child with the purest heart the Sandaime has ever seen.

Said boy has been missing for seven whole days.

He disappeared when the regular Anbu that was guarding him was attacked, by the time the Anbu dealt with the offender it was already too late. Naruto was already gone. They couldn't even interrogate the attacked since he committed suicide the moment he was defeated. They weren't even left with traces of his body to examine, he was left with nothing but ashes.

When the Sandaime was alerted of what happened you could feel his killing intent all over the village, every bit of warmth in his eyes were gone, and was now filled with iciness: the eyes of a Hokage who was beyond pissed off.

Everyone in the same room with Hiruzen flinched at seeing his gaze, even Danzo. He ordered his Anbu to search for the attackers immediately. The Sandaime immediately looked for the boy in the crystal ball, but his image was blocked. That befuddled him and left him with the thought that there was a traitor in his midst. He didn't know how it was possible that his image could be blocked unless Naruto wasn't in Konoha, but that wasn't possible, he would've known.

So that left the option that someone else knew the secrets to his sensei's crystal ball, but the people who knew the secrets of the ball could be counted on one hand. Jiraiya, his two advisors, and, of course, Danzo. He growled...it was certainly possible, actually it was 100% possible that it was him, it was something that Danzo would do. He always wanted Naruto because of the Kyuubi sealed within him and constantly fought for him to be made into a mindless drone. So, yes, it was something that Danzo would do, and he was positive that it was, in fact, him. Yet he couldn't do anything without proof, Danzo is too slippery and wouldn't leave any evidence that he was there unless he wanted to be found out.

And so here the Sandaime was, seven days later, a nervous angry wreck. Waiting for any news to come to him about Naruto, but his hope dwindled bit by bit. Everytime he looked at Minato's picture he felt a knife twist in his heart, he promised that he would take care of the boy, but so far he was doing a terrible job of it. Everyone hated him and the hate was passed down to the younger generation making it so that Naruto lived a terrible life. The only good things that helped the young child was him and the ramen chefs, but even then, they were not enough to help the boy. He looked out the window, anxiousness boiling in his eyes, and then it happened.

An injured Anbu appeared, panting and bleeding, and kneeled before speaking, "Hokage-sama! I found him...Bring medics and my Anbu squad quickly! He won't make it much longer."

Konohagakure no Sato: Unknown Location

At the same moment

(A.N. Yes, I am aware that this next section resembles Tokyo Ghoul quite highly, but I've don't this for a reason. More on that at the Author Notes)

Naruto looked down at his knees with broken, lifeless eyes. His long blonde locks covered his forehead, successfully hiding his broken eyes. He was stripped of all his clothes, but his boxers; his body was severely bruised, cut, damaged, and he sat in a puddle of his own blood. It's been seven days since he's been kidnapped.

168 hours.

10,080 minutes.

60,480 seconds.

He let a smile fall on his lips; although, it was anything but humorous. It was broken, cracked, the closest word to define his appearance, his eyes and smile, would be insane.

It's been seven days.

Seven days since they started to torture him. Continuously. Every day it was non ending torture that he somehow managed to live through; although, that was probably thanks to his red furry friend he had locked in his stomach. He thought he could break out after kicking their ass and learning their identities like a ninja!

What a cruel awakening to reality.

He thought he could withstand the fear, the words, the unknown. He thought he could maintain his calm, his courage. He thought he knew pain.

He was wrong.

Perhaps, emotionally he knew pain, but physical pain was unique just like its siblings were. He thought he knew pain, but he only scratched the surface.

He learned after the first two days that whimpering for them to stop was a hopeless case, they wouldn't stop. They enjoyed it. He was only given a break to heal from the torture, which he managed to do in an insanely short period of time, but that was mainly due to the Kyuubi sealed within him. At least, that's what they told him anyways. Although, they suspected his Uzumaki genes were the true reason. He would've laughed if he was feeling any better, but he couldn't laugh. He could only feel pain.

The reason why he was hated was because he sealed the Kyuubi. The reason why he was hated was because of the Yondaime. The reason why he was hated was because of chakra.

"550. 543...536...529." Naruto whispered to himself in between pained breaths. He commanded himself to count from 1000 to 0 by sevens, it was his only lifeline. It was the only thing that kept him sane, if you could even call it that, during this entire time. The thought that doing an act so small could keep you grounded to this world would seem preposterous to an ordinary human, but Naruto was far from ordinary. Ever since he was little he had to constantly adjust to the harsh situations that he was placed in.

It started with hunger and turned into survival, to do every possible thing to survive. As every situation he was placed in became more and more serious he adapted so he could survive. He learned from a young age that this life wasn't fair and things will never come to you on a silver platter, you would have to work for everything you get. Whenever life became insanely hard and he didn't know if he could hold in his hatred, he would count down from a thousand to keep his mind busy and keep himself away from the situation at hand. So, as he sat there lifelessly, he counted down and tried to hold on his dwindling sanity.

It was dark.

There were no lights surrounding him, he couldn't feel anything but the cool touch of the dark. The shadows embraced him, trying to fill the emptiness that he felt inside, but it was futile. His body felt like it was on fire, like the blood in his body was replaced with acid. His body begged for the cool touch of the shadows, so he leaned in and let the cold shadows embrace his body. His head was throbbing, but it slowed as if the cold was somehow freezing him. The shadows welcomed him, beckoned him forth, whispering sweet nothings into his ears. He decided he liked it. He let the darkness consume him slowly, but he still felt empty...

He heard popping and looked down lifelessly at his hands that were stripped of it's skin and bleeding heavily. His fingers were broken after they ripped his skin off, they did it with steel wrenches. Steel making contact with his skin-free flesh was agonizing, they snapped it in an agonizing slow pace and relished in his blood curling screams. Another snap and his knuckles popped back into place, his skin was also healing.

Most of his body was completely red, ripped free from his skin, the air made contact with his flesh and a numbing burn took place. On the first day they skinned him at number 963, they poured what smelt like lemonade over his body. All he could feel was pain.

They did this everyday, right after they skinned and broke his bones before proceeding with the main torture. They said they did this for the experimentation, but it seemed more for the fun to him. His already impressive healing rate saved him, but also hurt him during these times. It seemed as he tried to adapt to the harsh reality, his healing rate adapted and improved by leaps and bounds to keep up with the new torture methods. If it wasn't such a morbid time, he would be impressed and awed by his amazing healing prowess. His skin hissed and sizzled as the skin quickly began to grow back.

"Again and Again. Again and Again. 490...483." Naruto mumbled out crazily as he looked down and saw his skin shavings and a huge puddle of blood. His blood. His eye started to twitch madly as he recalled how the torture got worse and worse after every hour. He tried to scream, but he just couldn't anymore as he chanted once again, "476...469...462."

His skin healed and he sat there, tied on the metal chair, awaiting for the next torture session. He didn't have to wait long as the creatures came in again. He called them creatures because they didn't deserve to have the title human. "But would it not be more insulting if i did call them humans? Humans are such disgusting creatures, it would be right to call them human. Treacherous beings that do not deserve the delicacy of life. They corrupt the world we live in...would it be wrong to purify this world of this race? They are filled with nothing but hate. They smile while others suffer...power hungry fools. Yes, it is truly right to call these beings human."

He thought he heard a female's voice whisper through his head "But what of your friends? What about the ones who do care? The ones strong enough to resist the hatred of this world and these people. Your Jiji, Ayame-neechan, Teuchi-ojisan. If there are people such as them how do you know this whole world is like that? Don't give up yet...Naru-kun."

He nodded mentally at the words, but all that came out on the outside was whimpers. His body was broken, his spirit took a hit, he didn't know if he was awake or alive right now. Was he in this body or was he watching his body. Was this reality or illusion? Are these thoughts his? Or are these the thoughts of one who has been truly lost? Was he lost in his subconscious or was his spirit broken enough that it created an alternate being in it's place. He understood yet didn't understand the thoughts that we're going through his head. He felt so...he didn't know how to describe it.

Like he was nothing.

His mind went blank once more as he faded from the white mindscape he was in and focused on the new beings in the room. There were three men, each of which had a different type of expression on his face. The one on the right smiled in a pitying type of way, "I'm sorry, Uzumaki-San. This is all for the sake of our experiments." Naruto didn't deign him with a response or, more likely, he couldn't due to his growing back tongue. The man sighed before continuing, "There's something in your body that is interesting and, no, it's not the Kyuubi." His eyes glinted in a sick fashion, "It's something much more interesting."

The man on the left continued, an emotionless expression on his face, "Unfortunately, our time is running out so we need to move onto the last stages of our experiment. We've already dissected you to learn all about your body, but, unfortunately, it wasn't quite enough to find what we were looking for. We would've given up…"

The man on the right took on right where he left off, "Except there is one part of your body that we didn't look at yet." He tapped Naruto's forehead, "Your brain. We need to study your brain and all of the information stored there, I won't bore you with the details, but, unfortunately, you need to die so we can continue our experimentation."

Before they could continue, the man in the middle, the one who was happily grinning at Naruto the whole time decided to speak, "It looks like our time together has finally come to the end, demon spawn."

The only response he got were the barely audible whispers of a broken blonde haired boy, "363...356...349...342." The man's grin seemed to grow wider as he heard the broken mumblings of the demon.

He heard his companion sigh, "Unfortunately, not everyone holds the experimentation above their personal problems." His eyes flashed warningly at the grinning man, "We don't have time for your pitiful grudges. They'll be upon us soon."

Naruto briefly noted that another man appeared, but he wasn't a experimenter like everyone else. He was dressed similarly to a Shinobi except his armor seemed rather light and he was wearing a mask. He was dressed in a fashion similar to that of an Anbu, but his mask was more demonic than animalistic. Naruto's dull eyes noted that the mask had a strange word on it, the mask read "Ne."

The Ne man looked Naruto in the eye before speaking in an emotionless tone to the others, "Has anything new or of interest happened?" Although, the Ne man asked it like a question, the other men knew it was it a demand and immediately responded with a negative, "Nothing happened, Shinobi-sama! It continued with no change at all, except for an improved healing rate, nothing changed. We are hereby about to finish the operation with the examination of his brain which will, without a doubt, hold everything you wish to know!"

The Ne member nodded once before speaking once more, "Very well. Finish the experiment as soon as possible. Anbu will be here soon along side with the Sandaime..." The Ne member disappeared in a Shunshin and, almost immediately, the experimenters turned back to Naruto with their respective expressions on their faces.

The man in the middle grinned at him, "Well you heard him, Kyuubi." His grin never faltered even at his companions groans of annoyance at calling the child the Kyuubi, "It is time to finish this..."

The man on the right, his emotionless expression never fading nodding at him in something that was akin to respect, "It was honor to experiment on you, child."

The man on the left continued, his pitying smile locked onto the blonde, "But don't worry, thanks to you, everything is going to change! You'll be know as the herald of the new Shinobi Age!"

He didn't get a chance to finish talking as the behemoth of a man in the middle elbowed his fellow experimenters in the side with a snarl on his face, "Shut up! Don't talk to the fucking demon like you're on even terms. It's the scum of the earth." The man spat on the blonde's body as a twisted grin made its way on his face, "You see, Kyuubi, no one has ever loved or liked you, even Hokage-sama, the one you called out so lovingly to, never came for you. He wanted you to die too."

"No." Naruto growled mentally as his rage started to build, "Jiji does care for me!" His thoughts continued as his mind started to clear, his blood started to cool and his eyes flickered back and forth between his sky blue and a crimson red. Suddenly his pain disappeared as everything became as clear as a crystal to him, "People like this...they are destroying this world. This world is corrupt because of them. They wage wars, the kill, they steal, they rape for their own pleasure. This place…"

"Do you want power?" A man's voice echoed inside of his mind. His voice was cold, yet comforting at the same time and held a mystical presence. Naruto didn't even care if he sounded insane or not as his eyes blazed in an icy cold.

"...Yes." Naruto whispered inside the confines of his mind.

"Why...do you want power…" It whispered back, but Naruto felt as if it already knew the answer, "Other than to protect the few you care for...Why do you want power? What is your truest reason…"

"Also, weren't those ramen chefs particularly nice to you? Yes...I do believe they kicked out the people who ever tried to be rude to you. They must have been like your own personal angels…" The behemoth's eyes seemed to widen with glee, "Oh I know, after we kill you off we're going to do the same thing we did to you to them! How does it feel to know that the two people you care for are going to be tortured just like that! Isn't it just...delicious! The sharing of pain! Oh i could explode from the flavor of it all. Blood everywhere...can you imagine it? Bathing in their blood. Doesn't it give you the greatest feeling of all?"

"This place is hell with unfortunate souls stuck in it...I'm sick of this world." Naruto growled to himself and the wind seemed to pick up, the air seemed to get cold and there was a sudden pressure in the room, "Yes...this world needs a change. I'll change it...I'll change it and protect the ones who are pure, but most of all...I'll create a new world, a world where no one suffers...this world will change… and I'll be the one to do it...Did you hear it? Did you hear me! I want power so I can change this world!"

The voice was silent for a while before bursting into chuckles, after the fit was over he spoke once more, "Very well...then unlock your power...Unlock the power that will change this world…"

"Yes...yes...yes! I'll slaughter them! Let me be the one to take them from you, Kyuubi!" The behemoth said with an insane laugh as he picked up the saw he was going to use to chop the blonde's head off and brought it closer to the boy. Naruto's bangs covered his eyes and the pressure increased tenfold. Electricity seemed to run through Naruto's body and the sky rumbled, the ground shook, the wind picked pick, lightning flashed in the sky as if nature could sense the change that was occurring. Then all at once, the noise stopped, nature stopped, as if it was waiting for something. It felt like the calm before the storm…

"Hilarious." The boy slowly brought up his head and fixed his strange new eyes on them. The men froze and trembled as they made eye contact with the small boy. His eyes weren't the usual sky blue anymore...no, they were very different. His eyes now had a dark blue pupil and was surrounded by a blue and white flower-like iris. The beginning of the iris was a very light blue and turned into white as it went on. The edges of the eyes were a ice-like blue and the whitish-blue iris rippled like flames around his pupil. He broke his gaze with the men and brought his cold calculating gaze towards the man who had spoken before, "The pig shouldn't speak before the slaughter."

The man stared at Naruto for a few moments before erupting in giggles, obviously to stupid or too high on his enjoyment to realise the threat that was standing before him, "Oh...Kyuubi...you truly are an interesting one alright! Now allow me to take your life!" The man brought his kunai down in an obvious shinobi level speed, but Naruto watched the kunai come down in slow motion, "I need the power...to kill," Naruto thought to himself. The behemoth was confident that the boy die, there was no possible way for him to dodge when he was chained to a chair and the saw was closing in on his forehead. It should've been obvious what the result would be, it should've been obvious who would be the victor or this match…

Which is why he was completely surprised when the boy disappeared in thin air and he hit nothing but air. His shocked eyes stared down at the chair in disbelief, not only was the blonde gone, but the chains that surrounded him were missing as well. Before he could even utter a scream or raise his eyes in horror, those very same chains took up his vision and then...everything went black

The other men could only look on in a horrified stage of shock as they heard a small tap behind the dead body. Naruto stood with his back facing towards them, the chains hitting the ground behind him, the same chains he used to rip off the first man's head. The black linked metal were now dyed a crimson red and the platter of the behemoth's blood was resounding throughout the silence as it slowly dropped off the chain. The head rolled around on the ground before coming to a stop, it's dead eyes facing his companions. The men could only look on in horror when they realized that the man's head was cleanly cut off. They looked at the head in disgust as copious amounts of blood came flowing out until finally they couldn't take it and puked out their stomach.

On the other hand, Naruto was looking at his hands in curiousity. He just killed somebody. He was always told that when you kill someone, you almost lose yourself in your despair...But Naruto felt nothing as he looked down at the man he just killed. Perhaps some people were just better off dead or maybe he truly was a monster...Either way, that was better than being a human.

Naruto looked at the chains in a cold curiosity, "So humans can bleed as well? How disgusting." His fingers seemed to grow small white spikes on each of the tips before the chains were cut to pieces leaving nothing but the cuffs. The two scientists could only stare in shock, their experiment just sliced through one of the hardest metals like it was butter.

Before any of the men could speak, Naruto spoke, "I suppose, I should thank you for showing me how this world actually works." The blonde smiled coldly, "You actually gave me my reason to exist, my reason to keep fighting." The blonde lost his smile and looked straight at the men before him, "I will purify this world and the first steps to this world's purification…" He physically stepped forward at those words, his footsteps resounding through the silence as he slowly closed the distance between them, "Will start with you all."

His words made the men freeze, it wasn't the words itself, no, it was how he said it. He said it like he was announcing what he was going to eat today for dinner, he said it so easily, like it didn't even matter. The calm in his words, like he knew they were already dead and they couldn't do anything about it. He looked at them with such indifferent eyes, like they were nothing. His cold blue eyes made them feel as if they were staring at a superior being, a God. They took an unconscious step backwards.

Fear.

That was the emotion flowing through their veins as they looked at him. This wasn't the same kid as before. The kid who had no reason to live, the kid who never fought back. That kid didn't exist anymore. This Naruto was completely different. They froze as his icy glaciers met their fearful orbs, they physically couldn't move. They felt cold. No. They felt dead. They made the mistake of looking deep into Naruto's eyes and started to witness their deaths over and over again as his presence began to overwhelm them. Their knees began to buckle, they couldn't take it, they needed to kill themselves...but they couldn't move.

Meanwhile, Naruto was looking at his body, his newly refurbished body. He cracked his neck as he stared at his body in amazement. He felt strong. Powerful, like a completely different person. Naruto felt stronger than he ever felt before, he felt new energy boiling inside of him, just waiting to be used. Naruto felt his bones hardening under his skin and knew he couldn't be broken or feel pain.

Pain.

He scoffed. He doubted he could feel pain after was done to him. He casually picked up the knife that was next to him and, without a second thought, tried to stab it into his arm. Key word "tried". The blade shattered on contact.

Well, he supposed that wasn't quite right. It didn't break on contact, it slightly pierced his skin before shattering due to the bones underneath. Although, it didn't really matter that his skin was pierced for a moment later, he was already healed. That proved his theory was correct, his body or, more specifically, his bones has hardened. His second theory was proved when he didn't feel any pain at all when the blade made contact with his skin. After what happened to him, it would be hard to cause him pain, and even if he was caused pain his healing rate has improved to extreme levels after the continuous torture. He brought his gaze from his hand and towards the men, it was time to start the purification of this world.

Naruto tightened his fist, his body felt tougher, faster, and he couldn't help, but wonder how well his body improved from his strange modifications. A perfect time to test himself. He wasn't sure what exactly happened to his body, but he didn't care; he didn't care or know why his eyes were itching for some reason or how he gained a power from nowhere, but he knew one thing...he liked it. And he was sure as hell going to use it to change this world.

He felt his chakra surging through his body and leaking out, materializing for all to see. His chakra exploded around him, surrounding him like a vortex and Naruto could only state in amazement as it all got absorbed into his body leaving a blue aura surrounding his body.

Naruto didn't bother waiting anymore and took off in a burst of speed, appearing in front of the nearest man and, before he could even shout in shock, a hand was placed on his face. His eyes widened in horror before closing as a long bone came out of the other side of his head. Naruto pulled his hand out a bit so he could grip the bone with his right hand before swiping downwards cutting his opponent's body clean in half. The halves of the body fell on top of each other and blood immediately began to flow out of the sides.

His bladder seemed to be perfectly cut in half and it was releasing all the contents that were in it. Piss and blood mixed together as it poured out as one substance. It was a gory sight, but definitely nothing compared to the torture Naruto just went through. Naruto looked at the bone curiously as he wiped the blood that hit his face when he was cutting the man in half. "So I was right when I thought that my body has changed. I can use my bones in combat and it seems my bones has become stronger which does explain why the knife would shatter when it made contact with my hand." A childish smile graced his face for the first time in weeks, "I guess I gained what others would call the "Perfect body", I have the incredible healing rate and the body that is almost impossible to injure thanks to my bones. In other words, I'm a badass."

He looked towards where he used to be and then back to his position, "Interesting...it seems my bones or, maybe, it's all the new energy I suddenly have increased my physical abilities by a lot."

His ability to think seemed to become clearer as he figured out his purpose to live. His mind used to be clouded, his reasons to live were few and none of them felt real. He felt as if he should kill himself, for what was the reason to live if he had no purpose in life. He lost himself within his mask so his mind would be clouded and he wouldn't give up completely. He smiled, realising there was no reason to hide anymore...he had found his purpose, his reason to live.

Naruto saw the other men stare at him in horror, but he payed no attention to it. Instead, he looked at his bone blade once more and decided to test his newfound abilities. He tossed his "blade" to the side and then reached towards his shoulder and concentrated. It didn't take longer than a couple seconds, his eyes suddenly opened and pulled out the bones in his shoulderblades.

He briefly noted that pulling out his bone didn't even hurt and it also seemed that as soon as he started to pull his bone out it started to regrow.

Instant regeneration of bones...very nice.

He looked at his blade and noticed how light it was; yet, he could also tell it was durable and strong. This ability wasn't just a perfect defense, but also a powerful offense! Once again, chakra began to circle his entire body before bursting into visible blue flames. It stayed like that for a few seconds before the chakra was sucked into his body leaving him with a light blue glow a sand grain above his skin.

He smiled before charging towards the next man, who appeared to be out of his shock and drew his sword as Naruto sliced downwards, but it was blocked by his blade. The man managed to overpower him and pushed him back with a frown before charging towards him in a speed that was much faster than the Academy students Naruto sparred with in school. A speed that most academy students wouldn't be able to keep up with...but, unfortunately for the man, Naruto wasn't your ordinary academy student.

Naruto mouth slowly opened in awe as the world slowed down before him; everything from the humans to the pebbles that were thrown into the air from the battle occurring moved as if it was moving through water. Unbeknownst to the young Uzumaki, his eyes were rippling brightly, it's white flames moving around his iris in a hypnotizing manner. Naruto watched him come in slow motion as his drawn blade began to swing downwards. Then the blonde looked into his eyes and it was like he could tell what he was about to do. He weaved in and out of each strike with ease, all the while looking as if nothing was happening. It infuriated the man and, in blind rage, he swung downwards, attempting to slice the Kyuubi brat in half, but, to his shock, and growing horror it was blocked by a finger.

Naruto tilted his head to the side, he didn't expect his strike to be so weak, but he shrugged and used his bone blade to cut his opponent's head clean off. The blonde rose an eyebrow at how easily he was able to defeat the man, the lack of skill was disappointing, the only thing they have going for them is their speed...which, compared to a Chunin, was terrible.

A man charged him from behind, but Naruto simply threw his bone behind him and it easily pierced through his enemy's head. He blinked in suprise...Naruto never turned around, not even once. So, how? How did he knew the man was there? These thoughts continued to occupy his thoughts as he ran towards the man in front of him and threw a punch towards him, moving in like a flash. The man couldn't even react before he was struck in the face and sent backwards, but before he could fall he was grabbed by the collar and punched several times in the nose. Naruto didn't stop his brutal execution and continued; grabbing his head, he brought down the man's face and smashed it into his knee, shattering his nose and covering his pants in blood. As his enemy brought his hands to his broken face, Naruto dug his fist into the masked man's gut before kicking him in the shin, jabbed him in the side, elbowed him in the jaw and backfisted him in the eye. He then swept the man's knee out and barreled into his chest with his shoulder before grabbing him by the arm and pulling him back towards him. Naruto then kneed him in the stomach causing blood to spew out of his mouth before smashing his elbow into his neck. He heard a satisfying snap and threw the body away like a rag doll.

He heard a sound to his right and noted that more men came out of a door, each of them were carrying long swords. Naruto willed a bone to come out of his shoulder and his body quickly complied. Gripping the bone in his right hand, Naruto took off in a burst of speed before jumping into the air towards the first man, whom had a long sword with a strange hole in the end of it. As Naruto neared him he sliced downwards with his bone sword while the man picked up his heavy sword and swung it to meet his, sword to sword. Naruto quickly lost the power struggle and pushed off with his blade, flipping back into the air before landing many feet away from the other man, with his back facing him.

Naruto tried to take a few seconds to calm his breathing, but he never got the time. Again his eyes widened in surprise as he saw behind him once again and they widened even more as he saw the man quickly appearing behind him, spinning like a twister before slashing towards him. Quickly spinning on his feet he took a bone the size of a kunai out of his elbow and placed it in his mouth before placing two hands on his bone blade and did his best to block the swing coming towards him. His eyes widened at the power in the opposing blow as he was sent sliding back while he continued to block the blade, but a smile quickly crept onto his face, "These ones are much stronger than the last few…"

Naruto gritted his teeth before realising holding the block wouldn't benefit him at all and pushed off the ground. He started to spin horizontally in the air and he came down fast, spinning all the while, before breaking out of the spin and sped down towards the man as he watched his blade's movements. The man's blade was already in motion ready to kill him as he came down towards the ground, Naruto watched him twirl and twirl again and kept track of where it would hit. Naruto twirled the bone in his hand and as he was about to hit the ground he jabbed his bone blade into the ground, but not just into the ground, he also pierced his blade into the hole of the enemy's sword, successfully stopping it before it could slice him in half.

The man gaped at the level of skill that was just shown before quickly acting, he threw a punch towards Naruto, but the blond was faster. Naruto was already in a handstand and quickly spun on the blade, directing a roundhouse kick towards the man's side. It connected and he heard an audible crack before the man was sent flying away. Naruto continued his relentless onslaught, disregarding his need to breath, and spit out the bone kunai from his mouth in an alarmingly fast rate. The Kunai hit the man's hand and dug into the ground, successfully stopping his movement. The man jerked forward from the suddenly stop and looked towards Naruto only to see the blonde's fingers pointing towards him, he tilted his head in confusion before hearing Naruto's cold voice, "Teshi Sendan (Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets)!"

Hardened bones from his fingertips shot out and headed towards the enemy in a surprisingly fast rate, akin to real bullets. They had a spinning motion that made the skeletal bullets look more like miniature drills than anything else. The bullets closed in on the man and quickly drilled through his head, his eyes widened in shock as blood spewed out of his mouth. Naruto watched as his eyes slowly became lifeless, but the expression of horror was etched onto his face as he fell to the floor dead. He looked at the man with a cold curiosity before Naruto looked at his hands, "How did I even do that? It...just happened." Naruto frowned in annoyance. Nothing was making any sense! How did he gain all this power, how did he learn all of these abilities, and what was with the itching in his eyes! He let out a breath, shrugging before dismissing it, "Doesn't matter, I didn't know I could pull out bones before, but now I can. Must be like that."

Naruto turned his head the moment he heard the sound of rapidly approaching footprints and gazed at the next man who was already speeding towards him with two long blades in his hands. The blonde held his blade in a ready stance as the man approached and, in a flurry of motion, they collided in a heated sword battle. They traded blow for blow, moving with a speed that was beyond genin level, and Naruto quickly realised after the man landed a small cut on his cheek, which after a few seconds sizzled and healed in a flash, that he was outclassed in skill with swords by the man and if it wasn't for how he could see his moves, he would already be greatly injured.

"I can't stay close. I shouldn't test my limits just yet. I have to use my brains!"

Naruto backed up a bit as the man rushed him with another show of slashing before leaping backwards and pretending to stumble as he landed. He could see the man's grin at his "supposed" mistake; the man quickly sped forward and jabbed his blade at his heart, overreaching his arm in his confidence. A fatal mistake on his part. As the blade reached just an inch away from his heart, Naruto grinned, and went into a backstand easily dodging the jab, and as the man stumbled forward because of his overreaching attack, Naruto took the offensive. The blonde quickly shot his left leg up and smashed his foot into the man's neck sending him into the air, as Naruto was about to follow him into the air to take advantage of his opponent's weakness he spotted more men approaching him. Naruto growled, "What annoyances."

Naruto counted four men surrounding him in the north, south, west, and east positions. He still wasn't exactly sure how he saw all of them, but he didn't really care at the moment. Right now, the most important thing was for him to survive. He saw each of the four men charge at him from all his sides, moving as if they were trying to exploit his supposed weakness, which was that they thought he couldn't see them.

Pathetic.

They were so sluggish compared to him that in his eyes they moved in slow-motion, but, then again, so far he could see every single movement of his other enemies in slow-motion too...perhaps he was just that fast? He shook his head and dismissed his thoughts on the matter, it was time to focus on the battle. The strange, but awesome bone techniques are just too good for these guys, and so, in hopes that they would amuse him, he decided to go without it.

The first man charged him and he grabbed him by the necktie and lightly kicked him away, ripping the tie off of him. While holding the tie, he caught the next man's hand with it while he tried to punch him, wrapping it around his wrist like a handcuff. He then swung the guy around by his wrist like a flail weapon, whacking the other three men. He then pulled the tie tighter, causing it to release the man like a slingshot at his comrades. The four men got up, fear in their face, but not looking like they would give up. They seemed more angry than afraid.

"If you hate me... hate yourselves for making an enemy out of me." Naruto spoke coldly, his exotic blue eyes watching their every motion as they tried to attack again. He caught the arm of one of the men and used him as a human shield, letting one of his comrades stab his sword into him. Naruto then pulled a knife out of his hostage's pocket as another man came from behind with an enormous sword. He easily blocked the large blade with the small knife, his enhanced body easily able to handle the blow, not that it would harm him anyways.

He then flipped away throwing the knife right between the eyes of another man. With two combatants left now, Naruto felt even more disappointed than with the first opponent. They were just so weak. One man charged at him again with a large sword raised. In the middle of his vertical slash, Naruto just swatted the sword aside, sending it flying out of his hands. He let the man run to retrieve his weapon, as the other man let out a flurry of attacks, which he dodged easily. Swaying in and out of the blows, he considered dancing around with his eyes closed while hearing out his attacks to dodge them, but decided they had bored him for long enough.

The two men charged him and both of them tried to cut Naruto up from both sides. They tried to stab him, but he jumped straight up and landed with his hand on both their blades, grounding them. While upside-down on his hand, he did the splits and kicked both of the fighters simultaneously. He hit them a little harder than he would have liked though, as both of them had their faces smashed beyond recognition. Naruto got up and sighed to himself, the two men were dead before they even finished falling to the ground. These men weren't just weak, they hardly knew how to fight, but he had to admit they were persistent...for humans anyways.

The man he kicked into the air charged him from behind, trying to take him by surprise, but he already saw him coming. Spinning around he slammed his palm into the man's elbow causing the blade to go off course and pass by his head. Naruto, refusing to give the man a chance to breathe, took no time to act and immediately started pummeling his stomach with quick jabs. Spit flew out of his enemy's mouth and as Naruto prepared a final jab, the man slid his hidden blade out of his sleeve and started jabbing, with his rapier, in quick strikes.

Slipping in and out of his strikes, Naruto tried to find a time to attack, but found that he had no time to respond because of the man's precise and quick strikes. Naruto tsked in annoyance and jumped backwards and threw his fingers forwards, firing another ten finger bullets towards him to gather space. The bullets missed, but he was unsurprised, the bullets were meant to be a distraction, and it served it's purpose.

"Let's try this out then," Naruto thought before concentrating on his body. Bones started growing out of his body, from his shoulder and his wrists, his knees and thighs, and in his hands. The man stared at the child in horror, carefully studying his opponent and trying to figure out his best way to attack, but the way to proceed wasn't left up to him and Naruto made sure to let him know that. Naruto shot into the sky, being careful to not stab himself with his bones, flipping and gathering speed as he fell towards the man.

Nearing the man, he did a roundhouse kick towards his head, but his bone was stopped by his blade. He bounced off the blade and landed in a hand stand before spinning and letting his bones on his skin try to skewer the man. The sound of metal clanging was heard as the man did his best to block the bones, but he couldn't hold it for long as Naruto won first blood and cut his cheek. Flipping back onto his feet, Naruto swung his wrist bone towards his opponent's face as his knee bone already made it's way towards his stomach. The opponent knocked his wrist to the side and deflected the knee bone with his sword, but Naruto used the deflection to his advantage and, as he fell back, he landed on his left hand and pushed off, landing a hard kick into the man's stomach.

The man stumbled back few steps before stabbing towards him, but Naruto jumped over his blade and landed back to back with his opponent. Naruto quickly started spinning like a hurricane towards his enemy and the man was quick to back away, but, to his shock, the twister of bones managed to follow him. Unbeknownst to the man, Naruto could easily find him with his 360 degrees vision and, as such, could track his movements. His enemy could barely stand against the onslaught and he got cut deeply multiple times before growling in rage. He threw one of his swords toward the hurricane, but Naruto had already stopped spinning by that time and was speeding in zigzags towards his opponent.

Using his feet and hands alongside of his bones, he was quickly pushing the masked man back. The man continued slicing with his one sword, but Naruto dodged and deflected every one, before pulling on the man's sleeve. He dragged the man down as Naruto fell backwards, kicking him into the stomach and into the air. Naruto pushed off his hands and followed the man into the air and quickly started an aerial sword fight. Clangs were all you could hear as they moved in the air at high speeds. In the midst of the fighting the masked man thought he saw an opening and let another jab fly towards it.

Naruto smiled, and the masked one immediately knew he fell for a feint. Naruto caught the blade with his left leg's ankle bone and they became deadlocked, which Naruto took advantage of. Placing his left hand on the bone and hilt of the blade, he flipped which brought his right leg behind him and into a one leg handstand before bringing it down and slamming his heel into the man's head. A gunshot was heard as his heel made contact with his head before the man was sent flying downwards, finally hitting the ground and creating a decent sized crater.

The man would've loved to sleep right then and there, but his danger senses were tingling and he looked up to see Naruto ripping his bone blades out of his skin and hurling it down at him. Widening his eyes, he jumped towards the side and continued to roll as the eight bone blades came flying from the heavens. Naruto finally landed right next to his bones and quickly began gathering them and placing them back into his skin before taking off in a burst of speed and appearing in front of the man. The sound of blades crossing echoed in the room as the two of them went at it, but you could see that the man was tiring as cuts continued to grow on his body. Naruto jumped into the air, his head facing the ground as he dodged another slice from his opponent. The masked man's eyes quickly went from bone to bone, trying to figure out where the next strike would come from, not paying attention to his opponent's fists and feet. Naruto smirked and brought his heel downwards again, which the man barely managed to dodge, and as the heel met the ground, the earth cracked.

The man gaped at the ground, before spitting out blood because of the foot connecting with his stomach. He was sent flying off and, as he neared the wall, he tried to slow his fall by stabbing his blade into the ground. He realised he would stop just before slamming the wall, but deciding to take advantage of his position, he let go of his sword and was sent flying towards the wall. He squared his feet as he hit the wall and bounced off immediately in 2x the speed he was sent back.

Ripping both of his blades out of the ground as he passed it, he headed towards Naruto in great speed. Meanwhile, Naruto was preparing to end it by letting another kunai sized bone fall out of his fingers and towards the ground as the man quickly made his way towards him, his two blades already coming down in an arc. Bones as long as a small sword shot out of his fingertips as he quickly intercepted the strike, they pushed against each other, and Naruto gritted his teeth as he slid across the floor because of the strength behind the strike.

Naruto let a small smile slip onto his face as the kunai sized bone was about to hit the ground. He concentrated chakra to his feet and let the kunai stick to his right foot as Naruto leaned slightly back which the man took as he was completely overpowering the experiment. He grinned and pushed harder, which made it that much easier for Naruto. Using the motion to his advantage, Naruto leaned back 90 degrees and shot his foot up towards his opponent's neck and let the chakra holding the bone kunai slip. The bone Kunai flew towards his neck in a lightning like speed, the man saw a small glint below him before the kunai shot into his throat, through his brain, and out of his skull.

Naruto calmed his breathing as he stood and looked around at his surroundings. Dead bodies laid everywhere, blood claimed its place on the ground and shined an eerie red as the moonlight hit the crimson water. He nodded to himself, he did a fine job in eliminating these vermin. As his eyes continued to wander around the room, he locked his gaze on the man who was standing in the midst of the blood pool with a grin on his face. He was the last remaining of all the people who tortured and attempted to kill him. The masked man continued to grin as he looked at the dead bodies, his smile growing larger as he inhaled the smell of blood. The masked man turned to him and gave him a ferocious smirk as he flashed through hand signs to fast for a human eye to follow, unfortunately for him, Naruto could read and follow his movements.

"Ninjutsu...The first one to use it of all the men." Naruto narrowed his eye before he smirked like the man before him, "This just got interesting." Naruto continued to watch as the man ran through a long chain of hand seals, he didn't bother to try to stop him, he was curious to see what he could do, so, he would wait. The excitement that was running through his body could prove to be a fatal mistake if he couldn't handle this, but Naruto couldn't bring himself to care.

After the seconds went by, the man finally stopped his chain of hand seals and put his hands in front of him, each closed slightly, but left open enough for something to fit through. The man grinned at him before speaking, "Raiton: Raigeki Shinso (Lightning Release: Electric Spear)."

Yellow electricity arced between the gaps in his hands, streaming upwards and downwards, slowly coming in faster streams until it stabilized and created an electric spear in both of his hands. Electricity arced around his body in random bursts as he licked his lips in anticipation of the battle. Naruto stood in a relaxed position as he watched the man carefully, trying to figure out what would be his first move.

Naruto eyes widened as he barely saw his hand move in an extreme speed and threw his right electric spear at him. "Fast!" The Jinchuuriki thought as the spear covered the distance between them in a mere second. Naruto barely managed to drop to the ground in time to dodge the attack, feeling the hair on his neck on the back of his head stand up as the spear flashed by him. He turned his head and watched as the spear pierced through wall after wall of steel and showed no sign of stopping. His danger senses tingles and immediately shot into the air just in time to miss a powerful punch hit where he was standing.

It was silent for a moment before electricity arced across the ground and made perfect circle around the man, and then a crater was formed. Naruto widened his eyes, this happened in a span of a second, and as the man followed him into the air with a happy grin, Naruto could only put up a flimsy guard as the punch slammed into his arms. A gunshot was heard as the man made contact and Naruto was sent flying to the ground, tumbling across the ground as he tried to stop, but he couldn't and his body hit the wall which crumbled on him. There was a silence for a few seconds before Naruto let out a growl and ripped his way out of the rubble and glaring at the man, his eyes rippling in anger. He looked at his arm and saw that it was extremely bruised, wrong, probably broken, but it was already healing.

The man smiled at the boy's anger before speaking, "Do you like my jutsu brat? Not only does it give me a powerful weapon that can pierce through human bodies like butter, but it also enhances my body's speed and strength in small bursts! Amazing, isn't it," The man cradled his spear lovingly, it was kind of creepy. "Anyways, I believe we should get back at it...I sense people coming, I have to kill you and leave here before that happens."

Naruto didn't respond, he just continued to watch him, analysing him completely before a small smile crept on his face. The man gripped his left spear tightly before taking off in a lightning enhanced burst, crossing the thirty yards between them in just over a full second.

"He's fast."

The man prepared to attack and then jabbed forward with his lightning spear.

"And strong."

Naruto then ducked under a horizontal swipe at his neck and countered quickly with a strong right fist buried into the man's gut.

"But predictable."

He finished with a grin as his enemy doubled over and gasped for breath, but Naruto didn't give him a chance to breath. He pivoted on his feet, raising his heel and smashed it into the man's jaw. Naruto was about to continue, but the man bounced back, laughing with a crazed glint in his eye, "This is fun! Let's do it again!" He threw the spear in a lightning like speed once again, and, not feeling like testing out the type of damage the jutsu could dish out, Naruto ducked to the side before falling backwards into his hands in order to avoid the man's fist. He then utilized his flexibility to get out of the way of another punch and spear thrust before executing a back-handspring to separate himself from the opponent.

However, the masked man wasn't keen on the idea of letting him get away, and, once he'd landed on his feet, Naruto had to spin to his right in order to avoid another spear thrust. Naruto and his opponent then engaged in a deadly dance where the blonde ducked, spun, and twisted his body away from the new electric spears of his enemy while continually being forced to retreat backwards. The Jinchuuriki jumped back once more to avoid a particularly long swipe at his midsection and felt his back slam into something rough and much larger than him.

Realizing that he'd been forced into backing against a wall, Naruto's eyes widened for an instant and the masked man smirked before thrusting his spear at the blonde's head. The side of his mouth twitched before Naruto avoided the attack by simply leaning his head to the right and the first six inches of the spear's blade dug into the wall behind him. The blonde countered by hitting his foe with a faster-than-sight right cross that made the man stumble backwards, but he still managed to keep his hand on his weapon. Naruto then reached up and grabbed the spear's shaft with his left hand tightly, used that hand-hold to vault himself off the ground, and delivered a devastating right kick directly to the side of the man's face, making him leave the ground from the force used and was sent flying across the ground.

The spear in the man's hand dissipated in the air while he's been holding it, forcing Naruto to spin in the air to counteract his momentum and land on one knee in a crouch. He took a few deep breaths from all the effort he used in those attacks, that man was especially resilient, alongside fast and powerful, which proved to be annoying, but was countered with his predictability. He shook his hand as electricity arced up his left hand from holding the spear, but before he could do anything else, he felt his hairs raise and he sensed a great amount of power rising.

He looked to his right and found the masked man, looking like he was on his last legs, building up another spear. The spear was a lot larger than the last few though, it's head was huge, and the shaft was as thick as an arm. It vibrated dangerously and Naruto immediately watched it warily as the man held it with both of his hands before throwing it as hard as he could at Naruto. Naruto could do nothing, but stare as the spear was sent flying at him like actual lightning, moving too fast for him to dodge. He swore in his mind as he watched the spear come to him in slow motion, his eyes could see the spear, but his body was way too slow to keep up with his eyes.

It was over. He couldn't dodge this attack. Was his dream...That easy to crush. Hopelessness began to overwhelm him, but it was soon overtaken by rage. Rage at his situation, rage at the world, rage at every single thing.

"No," Naruto thought, clenching his fists. "My dream will not end here! I will not die here!" He tilted his head towards the spear and his eyes narrowed, his flaming blue eyes rippling in power, the white iris in each of his eyes rippling like flames towards the right. Chakra seemed to be sucked into his eyes like a black hole and didn't seemed to be stopping. The spear was halfway from Naruto, still moving in a speed blind to everyone else, before the impossible seemed to happen.

It suddenly stopped.

Stopped. Like it was frozen. It didn't even dissipate or drop to the ground, it stayed in it's place, completely defying physics and the laws of the world. No one breathed...they both just watched the impossible scene before them, Naruto didn't even notice his eyes draining more chakra, when another impossibility happened. The spear warped...and then disappeared. It didn't disperse of anything like that...it just...disappeared.

"Did...I do that?" Naruto thought before grasping his eyes as an intense pain filled it, "Fuck that hurts!"

He bit his lips and fought through the pain, he had to take advantage of the situation, so Naruto glared at the man, his blue-white eyes rippling in power, before taking off in a burst of speed. It was like he teleported and reappeared in front of the masked man with a roundhouse kick, but the kick was grabbed by the man who grinned at him, "I'm not letting you go!" He seemed to be tightening his grip and sending bursts of electricity through his body as if trying to break and electrocute him, but Naruto didn't look worried at all, in fact...he barely even felt it except for the electricity, which helped more than it hurt, because it distracted him from the pain in his eyes.

Naruto jumped up off of the ground and swung his right foot towards the man's face all the while twisting his left leg, that was in the man's hand, completely breaking his left leg before smashing his right foot into the man's face, sending him flying. Naruto's broken leg swiveled before snapping back into place as the man stared at him in horror, "Did you really think...that after all you've put me through...something like that could actually hurt me?"

Naruto didn't wait for an answer as he appeared above the man and placed both hands on his chest, "I will purify this world." The man tried to scream, but no noises came out, he didn't want to die yet! He looked at the blonde boy on top of him and felt his insides freeze from the icy gaze he was being fixed with, but the man couldn't help but think that the demon's eyes were beautiful.

He felt chakra invading his body and shooting into the floor, it was silent for a moment, and the man stared up at the boy and was about to laugh that nothing happened, before the ground rumbled and then the whole place was destroyed as bones appeared from the ground like a forest. As the Sandaime appeared with his Anbu, they could only watch in amazement of the bone forest in front of him and the boy standing on top of the tallest bone. Hiruzen looked at the boy who in-turn looked at him, his usual warm blue eyes were now cold as ice. Hiruzen swore that his eyes were glowing and had rippling white flames in it, but when he blinked...it was gone.

End of Prologue (Part One)

XxEverything-Blooms-TwicexX

Hello, everyone. I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of Naruto: Everything Blooms Twice and is looking forwards to the next chapter! Anyways let's talk about the story.

First thing on the list to talk about is, of course, the Tenseigan (The Reincarnation eye). For all of you who don't know what this eye is I'm about to explain it to you. This Doujutsu was introduced in the Last Naruto Movie and is first wielded and unlocked by the brother of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Hamura Otsutsuki. It was said that Hamura unlocked this eye sometime in-between the battle against Kaguya and his death. The Tenseigan is said to be extremely powerful and would only be unlocked if the blood of his two descendants came together. As you know Hagoromo created the Uchiha and Senju, and if they were brought together they would unlock the Rinnegan.

Of course, while Hagoromo created the Senju and Uchiha, Hamura created the Kaguya and the Hyuuga which if came together would create the Tenseigan. Well technically his two descendants are the Hyuga and the Hamura Clan, but that made no sense to me. Hamura possessed both the Dead Bone Pulse and the Byakugan, not to mention that the Kaguya Clan is named after his mother and that they have the perfect body. Anyways, I changed that small detail.

The Tenseigan is extremely powerful and is said to be on PAR with the rinnegan. Of course, I laughed at that, this Doujutsu didn't compare to the rinnegan at all in the short time it was shown. The eye showed the ability to use Truth seeking balls, control over repulsion forces (Similar to the Deva path), and a chakra cloak similar to Naruto's Six paths mode. So seeing these abilities no wonder I would scoff at the idea of the two Doujutsus being equal in power, the Rinnegan can control LIFE and DEATH for God's sake.

Of course, I chalked up the lack of techniques shown for the small amount of time it was actually used or possibly the lack of experience of wielding the Doujutsu by Toneri (The main villain in the movie). So then my train of track went towards how the Tenseigan could be on par with the Rinnegan, and I decided that there must be more abilities. I soon became intrigued with the infinite possibilities of abilities that the Tenseigan could have, which eventually lead to me writing this story. I got some interesting ideas roaming in my head so I hope you continue to read and like.

For those people that I know will review something like, "The Tenseigan can only be unlocked if you seal a hundred thousand Byakugan eyes into a pot and let it cool down until it magically becomes one eye!" Explain Hamura, who unlocked the Tenseigan by himself, bitches!

Also, Naruto won't be Godlike right from the beginning, (Not till near the end,) but he will still be extremely strong for a kid. By the way if you're wondering how strong the men were, well they all have different skills. They were all around genin level, but each of which had a skill of two that was way ahead and on par with mid-level chunins, (For example, one man was good with Kenjutsu and Speed while the rest of his abilities were around genin level).

Anyways more information about the Doujutsu's abilities will be revealed as the story continues so I hope you stick with it. Next chapter will be the end of the Prologue and flashbacks, and then we'll get into how Naruto is injured. If anyone can guess one of the abilities I thought of for the Tenseigan...well...damn I guess I'll get you a cookie (Probably not though).

More Information is that I'm looking for a Beta Reader for this story! If anyone would like to Beta read my stories, please PM me! Thank you!

Sorry if the grammar is terrible, I really don't have all that much time to proof read it after I write it which is why I'm really hoping that someone answers my pleas for a beta reader ;).

Please review, follow, and favorite! Your support is appreciated!

No flames! Constructive criticism appreciated!

Author Note: (02/07/2016)

I'm not dead.

I'll try to update this story when I have time, but, currently, I'm working on another fanfiction. Nonetheless, I will return to this story eventually after going through the trouble of spacing this chapter. I already have the first few arcs planned out so it'd be a waste to not even finish one.

Fixed Spacing issues.

Yes, this chapter is similar to the Tokyo Ghoul torture scene. I just found that it would be more interesting for Naruto to gain his dream after being in the cruel grasp of reality. Torture has been seen as a fuel for change in many amines, for example Ajin and Tokyo Ghoul. If you haven't read Ajin...Read it, it fucking amazing. Or just wait until the anime finishes, it came out a couple weeks ago.

The writing style seemed forced and sloppy in this chapter, but I'm not going to fix it. I will, however, make sure future chapters won't be so...I can't really explain it, it just felt strange to read.

Bye.
