Chapter 2 - The Other Meeting
"Oh shit! I'm so gonna be screwed" Naruto thought while sweating profusely.
"Damn right you are, so start thinking of something to defend against that or were both dead"
said the Kyuubi in his mind as he was frantically thinking of a way to defend himself as evading is out of the question because the area of effect of a jutsu that powerful would be large as he notices that a lot of chakra is being pumped into that one jutsu, if he does not find a way to defend himself, he's done for.
"Try to help think of a way out of this genius, instead of just making me feel worse about the situation"
Suddenly, the light bulb switched on and an idea made it way to his head
Quickly, he channeled the fox's chakra and his own into his left arm which started to glow a deep purple and emitted a strange glow "Ninpou: Foxhide Shield"
Then it came..."Ninpou: Five Elements of the King Technique!" said the ANBUS
He had no time to admire the work he had done as the ANBU unleashed the jutsu, a multi-colored blast erupted from the group of ANBU, fast as a bullet straight into Naruto as the ANBU were screaming shouts of victory over the demon and further insulting him before he died.
Naruto brought in his charged left arm to block the incoming attack and immediately felt the strength of the jutsu as he was slowly being pushed back despite his efforts to stay in his position. The defensive jutsu seemed to be holding well to the attack, but he noticed as time passed by that his arm began to hurt. And then it happend, an ANBU not taking any chances hurled a kunai at him wounding him in the abdomen and breaking his concentration. As a result, the Foxhide Shield faded and the ANBU's attack came through, though it was weakened by the Shield, it still packed a punch as Naruto's left arm got completely disintegrated, not even a piece of it was left.
Naruto was in deep shit now, severely weakened due to the damage that was done to him and loosing a lot of blood at the time, he clutched the stump where his left hand used to be and applied a little chakra to slow the blood flow and cursed at the ANBU that was there at the time. He stood up, removed the kunai embedded in his stomach and threw it at the ANBU, unkown to them, Naruto stuck a smoke tag to it and when the ANBU foolish enough to catch it in midair saw it, it was already too late, large amounts of smoke billowed out of the kunai and not long after, the whole area was covered in a black obscuring smoke as Naruto used the temporary distraction to make his escape with his prize in hand.
Naruto thought about his current situation an looked at where his left arm used to be for the first time and was surprised as it was slowly reconstructing and mentally thanked the Kyuubi for this miraculous regeneration rate.
"Hey thanks for the regenerating abilities, it really helps out, I really thought I'd become a one- armed guy for the rest of my life, that would really screw my ninja career"
"Don't mention it kid, just be more careful next time and try not to let your important body parts get hit next time you get caught stealing something or were both really dead"
Unknown to Naruto, a strange black energy is also leaking into the repairing and reforming tissues and slowly changing its makeup and properties. Slowly corrupting the cells and adding a power so ominous that the Bijuu would look like Care Bears compared to it.
Just then Naruto remembered the reason for all of this and checked out Crissaegrim, the different runes glowed faintly, each with a different color and it looked good in the night, all in all there were twelve runes which meant twelve forms available for the wielder of the blade. As of the present, only one form has been seen, it looked like two long composite bows held by the user but in place of the wooden limbs were blood red thick blades and no strings attached.
"The Bloodshroud Warglaives eh? So I need to learn how to use that when I finally get to change it?"
"The first form of the blade, it gives it's wielder incredible speed capabilities, a wicked set of new skills plus it looks really cool to boot. You really don't need to learn how to use it as information regarding its use and skills are downloaded into your brain when it changes so you don't need to worry about kenjutsu for now"
"Cool I got it"
Naruto didn't get to his apartment because he thought it would be the first place those bastard ANBU would go to in search of him. He simply got into a cave which he stocked with food and a makeshift bed to spend some time there and let his would heal and his left arm fully reform.
With only his right arm to serve to his needs, he got to the makeshift kitchen and started a fire in a corner via flint and tinder as he still doesn't know how to do jutsus with one handed seals.
As the fire heated, he cooked his food and ate his fill went to bed and slept for what seemed like an eternity.
TIMESKIP: 2 weeks later...
Naruto woke up to find his stomach growling and was pretty surprised when he saw that half of his left arm had been reformed, it looked pretty normal although it's a darker shade from his original arm.
"Well you cant have everything, wow Kyuu-chan you really work fast huh, half an arm in just a night you really are something"
"What's with the sudden niceness? Who are you and what have you done to Naruto? Aaaanyway, it's not just a night that you slept boy, it's already been two weeks you've been snoozing there, that was some beauty sleep."
"Two weeks!? No wonder i was really hungry, dammit i need to find something to eat."
And with that, Naruto went to the kitchen and prepared food good enough to fill up four people, although it took some time as he only had one and a half arm. He glanced at his left arm and felt it twitch under his stare, as if it had a life of it's own. He stayed there pondering over that idea for quite some time but dismissed it as hallucinations caused by lack of food and went on his way to an epic pig-out.
"Ah... That felt really satisfying, damn I haven't had an eat that good for a long time"
"That's because you slept for two whole weeks, if that's not gonna make anyone enjoy even a crap-ass meal like that, I don't know what would"
"Hey, could you give me a break, I only have one arm working here, why if I had both arms I could cook a feast fit for a king"
"Yeah right, the only things you know how to cook are instant ramen and fried foods"
"Would you lay off me for a second here? I'm trying to think of something that I ought to do, I just couldn't put my finger on it."
"Ah, I'll just think about it later, I think I'm gonna lay around for a while"
And Naruto slept again after eating dreaming about stronger weapons and finally getting all the forms of the Crissaegrim and becoming all powerful. It was already nighttime when Naruto woke up and noticed a presence coming closer to his hideout.
"Damn, is that ANBU? No, it's chakra signature is so little it's almost non-existent, it's probably a villager"
So Naruto readied himself to kill that person should he/she talk about the whereabouts of this place, Crissaegrim ready to swing, Naruto waited for the person to come closer but was surprised to find a very young girl about the age of 5 gathering some medicinal herbs around the forest. Naruto sighed with relief, he wasn't ready to take the life of a weak and defenseless kid, he wasn't that sick up in the noggin.
TIMESKIP: 2 weeks later
Naruto awoke to find that his left hand had fully formed and was flexing it and looking at it as though expecting it to jump at him, something was definitely weird with the reformed hand, what was it, he just couldn't put his finger on it. After a while, he got up and held Crissaegrim and went outside to train with it, he had been doing this for the past two weeks but he just couldn't make the damn sword change it's shape, the only thing he made it do was to fire a crescent shaped projectile of cutting wind and lightning that hit a tree and split it in half cleanly.
"Dammit! Why wont you change?" Naruto said as frustration began to build up and he banged the sword on the ground
"That's not the right way of destroying that you know, be more creative kid all great things take time, just train with it and you will eventually get it"
"Whatever, I'm gonna get something to eat, damn this is pissing me off"
That night...
Naruto was pondering on how to master the sword change when it happened, his left arm began to ache real hard, as if it was on fire, Naruto screamed in pain as he fell to the ground trying to alleviate the pain but it grew even stronger as time passed by. And then there was a power surge from his left hand, a black substance emanating ominous energy came out of the whole left arm and began to envelope it completely and as this happened, Naruto was in so much pain, we wished that he'd just died, not only was the pain on his left arm but it has spread all over his body and even the Kyuubi felt some extent of it.
"What the fuck is this? KYUUBI! What the hell did you do to my left arm!? You double crossed me you cheating bitch!"
"It wasn't me! I'm feeling the pain too! There must be something that corrupted your arm while I was reconstituting it"
"THEN WHAT THE HELL IS IT!?"
"Maybe it's from training too much with that sword of yours, I don't know!"
"God I'm gonna die without even fully accomplishing my revenge, this is not right!"
And with those words Naruto just collapsed and lost consciousness from all the pain, for a while the pain stopped and Naruto just felt like lying there in that place, unknown to him he was back in his mindset while his body was still in pain. He noticed some changes since he last came to that place, first was that the pipe with the black substance seemed to increase in numbers, and not only that but he saw black holes in the corners on the walls and parts of the ceiling.
"What the hell happened to this place?" was all that he could say before he jumped out of the way of a large claw that could have ripped off his head should it have connected. The claw belonged to a creature jutting from the biggest black hole in the ceiling, it was suspended by a column of that weird black energy, its torso was robust with really large and overdeveloped arms with really sharp deadly looking claws with just a floating blue blob for a head.
"I am the Voidwalker, defeat me if you wish to have full control of the power i have bestowed upon you, if you get beaten I WILL have this body to call mine and you will disappear forever."
"So you're the one responsible for my pain eh? You WILL suffer for that I promise you, I will really enjoy playing with you and spitting on your corpse after."
And with that Naruto charged at the self proclaimed Voidwalker and aimed a chakra charged punch to its head.

Jutsus and Technical stuff
Ninpou: Five Elements of the King Technique - This technique was developed by the ANBU ops and aimed to unleash a blast of elemental pain to the target, the blast contains all the five basic elements used in normal jutsu, the result would be a chaotic blast of elements fighting over each other for supremacy. This is an S class assassination jutsu only usable when five people each with an affinity to earth, fire, water, wind and lightning channel their chakra for the jutsu. Note that this could not be used by only one individual as this would be useless.
Ninpou: Foxhide Shield - This technique was developed by Naruto with a little help from the Kyuubi, Naruto channels his and the fox's chakra into his arm and materializes a shield of some sort to defend against any attack. This jutsu can defend against jutsu with class SS or lower but higher than that, it would shatter like glass hit by a bulldozer. Naruto also has to maintain full focus on the jutsu and harmonize both human chakra and demon chakra so that it would not go in conflict with each other and render the jutsu useless, any distraction caused would effectively dispel the jutsu.
