MIZU NO ONI

RISE OF A DEMON

A seven year old Naruto Uzumaki could barely contain his excitement as he walked with his mother towards the Hyuuga compound, where the newly turned seven Hinata Hyuuga was having her party. Kushina, smiling brightly, as her son practically shook with each step as they made their way across the long stretch of road separating their home from the clan compounds.
A light whimper caught the blonde's attention drawing his eyes to a darkened alley where he spotted Hinata in the arms of a middle aged man.

Naruto's eyes brightened as he spotted his friend. "Hinata-chan!" Naruto called cheerfully, unaware of the situation she was in.

The man cursed both his luck and the brat who spotted him as her turned away from the compound and sent a kunai flying at the small blonde. Kushina having spotted the man and the gagged and bound Hinata, tossed a kunai of her own, reflecting the man's, before she stood defensively in front of Naruto.

"Naru-chan run and get ojii-san…now!" Kushina forced the last part, practically screaming as she sensed Naruto's hesitation.

Naruto turned and began running as his mother's tone made him aware of the situation. He'd made it to the corner when he turned and spotted the nin sitting Hinata down, to confront his mother fully. Naruto paused for a moment, watching as his mother charged the Kumo nin, attacking viciously with a high kick, sending the nin into the wall. Turing away once more he continued running, making it around the corner when he heard his mother scream out in pain. Rushing back Naruto saw his mother falling to the ground, a rain of crimson liquid falling behind her.

-Moments Before with Kushina-

'Shit, why today.' She thought as she wheezed slightly, her heart thumping loudly in her chest as tossed two kunai at the nin, who bounced of the wall and smirked.

"Is this the best the fabled Red Death of Konoha has to offer?" The nin taunted, tossing a kunai at the red head.

Kushina jumped back, dodging the thrown blade and leapt forward, slamming another foot into the man's chest, sending him into the wall once more. As the man lay groaning in pain she rushed to Hinata and attempted to flea and call for back up, but failed to notice the man rise and pull out a tanto.
Turning to leave she gasped as a sharp pain shot through her chest, followed by the cold steel of a tanto that scrapped against the barely comatose Hinata, slicing her across her left eye and rendering her unconscious. The blade was removed and Kushina sat the bluenette down, gritting her teeth in pain as she turned to face her assailant, only to have the blade shoved into her chest once more drawing a scream from her lips. The stabs hurt, having gone straight through both times, but she could sense Naruto still in the area. Focusing on her chakra she forced the pain back and began handed seals. Finishing, she compelled her chakra to use the water in her blood forming a small blade from her blood that shot at the man, slicing through side.

"You bitch!" The nin called before running through seals as blood began staining his clothing.
Lightning flashed, Kushina let out a cry in pain as another hole was put in her chest, before the red head fall to the ground. She watched as the nin limped towards her, a lightning blade in his hand. He stood over her, a sadistic grin on his face, ready to deliver the final blow, when a red blur shot into him, sending him flying through the wall.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Naruto's voice was let her know who'd delayed her death as the red chakra faded from his body.

"Naruto…you shouldn't… ha-have come! I told you…'Cough' to run!" Kushina forced out, hacking blood up as she turned her head to the blonde. "You've go-gotta…'Cough' protect Hin-hinata now! Get her… home, get away."

Tears flooded down Naruto's face. "No, I won't leave you! I don't want to leave you here."

Kushina lifted one of her hands slowly, and brushed a finger against his chest right over his heart. "Don't… don't worry, I'll always…'cough' always be here…'cough' just make sure you… look out for Hinata." Kushina gave him a smile, before allowing her eyes to close slowly.

"N-no, mom…'hick' mommy 'sniff' wake up." Naruto cried as he buried his head into his mother's hair.

"Stupid brat, should have listened to your mommy and ran!" A voice called from behind Naruto as the nin stood over him, another lightning blade in hand. "Blonde hair, demonic red chakra that seeps out when emotional. Guessing you're the Kyuubi Jinchurriki those Anbu wanted dead. I should thank them, all this chakra output would surely have brought the real black ops!"
Naruto shook as the words slammed into his heart. 'The anbu didn't help… cause of me. All because dad sealed the fox in me. This is my fault… had I not been here…'

"Then the girl would have been taken." A deep rumbling sounded off in his head.

'Ky-Kyuubi?' Naruto thought back, ignoring the man poised to kill him.

"Who else brat. This isn't your fault and I won't allow you to die thinking that. You want to point blame, then focus it on those idiotic anbu!" A pulse of chakra shot through the blond. "Those villagers!" Another pulse. "And the damnable fools you humans call a council! Get up kit… STAND AND AVENGE YOU MOTHER, KILL HIM NOW!" Kyuubi roared as another pulse of its chakra flooded Naruto's body, covering it in a red coat with a single fox tail.

Naruto let out a primal roar, the sound coming out with a concussive wave that knocked the man back and dissipated his lightning blade. Naruto let go of his mother and turned a hatred filled glare upon the man, making him freeze as killing intent crashed into him.

"You monster, I'll kill you!" Naruto's nails elongated, turning his hands into claws as he launched himself towards the man.

His clawed hands slipped into the man's flesh with ease and he pulled, tearing off the man's left arm from the shoulder. Again he reached and again he pulled, over and over and over until the man was nothing more than a mutilated blood stain on the ground before him, flesh, blood, bone, and organs decorating the walls and floor around him.
The power output Naruto was letting out, along with the destroyed building, began attracting others. Anbu, jounin, chunin, civilian all of them rushed towards the demonic aura, hoping that the fox hadn't gotten loose. Sadly for the now orphaned blonde, the first on the scene was the three Anbu who were supposed to guard him and two chunin, all five of whom hated the jinchuriki.

"Well well, looks like the fox put up a bit of a fight!" The chunin called, his silver hair glinting in the moonlight. "And here I went through all the trouble of getting that Hyuuga brat alone so Kumo could have her, just for him to botch up the job. Ah well guess we'll finish the job before the cavalry arrives." The Three anbu pulled out short swords and the chunin kunai, all of them beginning to advance on the blonde.

Naruto looked up in horror, his former adrenaline rush and the fox cloak burnt out, all he could do was run.

Moments after Naruto had run off, with the nin chasing after him, the Hokage had shown up with his own personal squad of anbu. "Dear Kami, medic, attend the Hyuuga! Inu, Neko find Naruto and kill anyone that tries to harm him!" The Hokage barked out as he knelt next to Kushina's body. "Tora find the team that was supposed to be watching over him! Take them to Ibiki for questioning, then have them executed!" A chorus of hai followed and the anbu vanished. 'Dear Kami I pray that nothing else happens to that boy tonight.' Sarutobi thought.

Naruto ran. He ran and ran and ran until he finally fell into a stream as he tried to lose his tail in the forest. He was surrounded instantly by more than a dozen people, most of them, joining in midway to gang up on the fox that had caused them so much strife. The silver haired nin who started the chase was nowhere to be seen.

"Please…I-I'm so-sorry!" Naruto tried to explain, before they converged upon him like a tidal wave.

"Damn demon, should have died years ago!" The words flowed over him alongside the physical pain they subjected him to. "Why should you live while all our loved ones died?"

Naruto curled into a ball as the pain, both physical and mental slammed his small frame over and over. His body went semi numb, he couldn't move, but the pain was still evident. His eyes went blank and his mind began to turn on him.

-Mindscape at the same time-

"Pathetic little humans, you want a demon so bad, well then see how you deal with a demon, created from your own hatred." Kyuubi growled out before forcing a wave of it's malicious chakra into Naruto.

Just as it was about to laugh however, something unexpected happened. The walls of Naruto's mindscape turned an aqua blue, the demonic chakra a navy blue, and water flooded in from the depths of his mindscape. A kanji for liquid engraved itself into the very walls of his mind.

"HRAHAHA Looks like the brat's life is about to get a lot more interesting!" Kyuubi let out a laugh.

-Back outside his mind-

'You damn demon!' Is this it 'Why couldn't it just die!' Is this how I die 'Give me back my daughter!' Is this all my existence is worth, dying to a bunch of fools 'Heh we should have finished what the Yondaime started years ago' No! I refuse to die like this 'Why do you continue to plague us' I refuse to let my existence end 'So you're the Jinchuriki that they wanted dead' They want a demon 'Go back to hell you monster' I'll give them one 'What did we do to deserve your attack' My mother's dead and…and…and…

"It's all your FAUUULT!" Naruto roared once more as he filled with chakra, though this time it was more akin to a raging river rather than the earlier pure maliciousness.

All around him the water in the creek shot towards the air, as killing intent froze the entire group in place. The blonde's head had angled towards the sky as a sheen of navy blue chakra churned around his body. Then he turned his glare outwards towards the ones nearest him and all hell broke loose.

Hatake Kakashi, ran as fast as he could towards the spike of screams and chakra. 'Shit, please let him be alright.' Kakashi thought putting on another burst of speed, shooting ahead of his partner.

As the two arrived at the spot of the spike, they saw blood. So much blood. Both war vets, cringed slightly at the sight of familiar blond, now stained red, hair sitting in the center of the destruction. Bits of flesh and bones scattered all around, some villagers died mercifully, others… lets just say they weren't as lucky. The blonde looked at them, his eyes dull, the once bight cerulean eyes, full of laughter, now a darkened violet that held no emotion at all, almost as if he was dead. Locks of his hair dripped with the blood that had stained it. An unnatural smile marred his young face. His clothes. like his hair, had blood covering them, blood that drained off slowly as he stood. Strangely enough, a large ball of water followed him, surrounding him in a sphere like the technique of Kiri. With a wave from Naruto however, the water slid off him to his side, all the blood on him floating in it. The water released the blood, formed the shape of a one tailed fox, and assumed a position behind the blonde like a guard, poised and ready to strike with the slightest signal from the blonde. Naruto walked towards them, the water following step for step, before pausing in front of them.

"…" Kakashi and Yugao found their tongues tied as they stared at the blonde, who'd replaced the Naruto they knew.
The fox twitched towards them at first, making the to tense before Naruto shook his head, flinging droplets of water on the two, before walking away, heading towards his home.

"Wa...wait Naruto." Kakashi found his voice after a moment, causing the blonde to turn his head slightly towards him. "Hokage-sama wishes to see you."

Naruto tilted his head for a moment. "He knows where I live. I'm going to sleep and in the morning I'm going hunting!"

"Why?" Yugao asked nervously as she eyed both the boy and his...pet?

"Because, that silver haired fool tried to have me killed. He failed so in turn I'll kill him." Naruto replied as if it was the most obvious thing before turning and walking away.

As he walked the blonde made a vow. He'd kill without mercy, as his mother was killed and anyone who tried to kill him had better succeed, because if they don't he'd hunt them to his very last breathe…
