So, I'm importing all my stories from my other account, Gonome7, to this one because this one is cooler. And I very rarely even look at the other one. Basically a dead account. From a LOOOOONG time ago.

The stories included are:

A Double Edged Sword

Bleed

Necrovictus

That's all I'm really saying, go easy on me because I sucked at writing then.


WARNING: Alright, I'm posting this right before Bleed chapter 3 because i just finished the movie Afflicted and had a sudden rush of inspiration to do both of these stories. Now to anyone who has seen Afflicted, you know what is going on, but to anyone who hasn't, my story will sort of spoil what is going on in the movie, even if I don't include any characters from the movie. If you haven't seen the movie and don't plan to before reading this story, it'll just make my story seem more awesome.

Also, everybody Chunin and up in this story knows about Kyuubi.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto or Afflicted, those rights belong to Masashi Kishimoto, Derek Lee, and Clif Prowse.


Naruto Uzumaki was walking down the streets that were being rebuilt after the attack of Pain, or Nagato Uzumaki. Naruto was naturally ecstatic when he found out he had family, but that was quickly extinguished when he remembered all of the atrocities that had been committed by Nagato under the alias 'Pain'. While Nagato had used Rinne Tensei to restore life back to the villagers and shinobi that he had murdered, he could only restore MOST of them, so hundreds of people never came back to life.

The jutsu had a range too. so that means that his technique wasn't able to reach across the entire elemental nations, specifically to Ame. This meant that all of the people that he killed in other parts of the world, including Jiraiya-sensei, were gone forever.

With that saddening thought in mind, Naruto continued down the path to a club near the edge of the village that hadn't been destroyed by the Shinra Tensei. He had been invited by the other Konoha 11 to a party celebrating the defeat of Pain. Naruto had nothing better to do so he decided to take them up on their invitation.

His walking slowed to a halt after he heard the thumping music of the club twenty feet away. He was debating whether to go in or not. Eventually he decided just to take the chance and walked past the bouncer who recognized him and through the doors.

The music was intense. There were lights everywhere and people dancing all over the place. Clubs like this were exceedingly rare since the lights and music ran off of chakra generators, in other words specially grown trees that produce chakra in large quantities. These trees were VERY expensive to buy and grow since they required a large quantity of a person's chakra to jump-start the chakra producing processes of the tree. This meant that whoever owns or maintains this place had to be a shinobi, or at least retired.

Which made it even more impressive that his teammates had managed to secure a reservation here. Naruto guessed that Kiba was the one to do it considering he was the most well versed person in their group with parties and their requirements.

Naruto's theory was proven correct when he heard the voice of Kiba calling his name. Naruto looked to the right to see his friends in a room off the side of the main club. He made his way over there and walked into the room to see literally ALL of the Konoha 11 plus their senseis either standing or sitting in the room.

"Hey man good to see you! I was wondering if you were going to show up. You're late by the way. Not picking up any of Kakashi-sensei's habits are you?" asked Kiba in a joking manner. The aforementioned Cyclops, who was sitting behind Kiba, said "Hey, if you didn't notice, I actually showed up BEFORE Naruto did. Making your allegation irrelevant."

"Yeah, yeah. You showed up ten minutes ago so you were still an hour late." said Ino, before looking to Naruto, "Hey, what's got you so down in the dumps for? We should be celebrating!"

Naruto sighed, "Ino, there are still hundreds of people who died in the attack. While we sit here and party, families mourn. But that's not the whole reason why I am so depressed. When Nag-Pain told me that he could bring our village back to life, I was happy, because if he could bring an entire village back to life, then maybe he could bring Ero-Sennin back too..." Ino and everybody in the room were listening as Naruto spoke, then Sakura asked, "Why didn't he?" knowing that Jiraiya meant everything to the blonde shinobi. He was Naruto's father-figure, and the one who taught him almost everything he knew.

"The Rinne Tensei, the jutsu that Pain used to bring thousands back to life, has a range of twenty kilometers, as well as being unable to resurrect everyone within that twenty kilometers. Jiraiya-sensei died in Ame, and that is way more than twenty kilometers away." said Naruto somberly.

Kiba walked up and flicked Naruto on the nose, "Ow! what was that for?" asked the blonde.

"So you're telling me, that after you took all that time to mourn and grieve and come to accept Jiraiya's death you forget about it the moment you realize you can't bring him back to life? Sounds to me like you're getting stuck in a cycle of despair. You need to break out of it. Or else you are going to turn out like one of the bad guys." said Kiba in a rare moment of wisdom, "So, we didn't come here to mope around, if we were going to do that we should have gone to the memorial stone. We came here to celebrate, so Naruto, you are coming with me to get the strongest alcohol they have, and you're going to drink it! COME ON EVERYBODY LET'S GET WILD!" Kiba yelled, back to his usual self.

Everybody cheered and Naruto smiled,"You're right Kiba. Alright, lets get the strongest stuff they have, 'cause I'll need it to be able to get drunk because of the Kyuubi."
