Chapter 2: First Kill

Something was wrong, something was very wrong. Ever since waking up Yugao had been having a very bad feeling. Her intuition was going off the charts. This feeling was strengthened even more when Naruto was not present at the given time. Any other day, Yugao would have just brushed it aside, thinking that the brat was just tardy. But given how excited Naruto was yesterday, he oughn't be late on his first day. This was making Yugao worry even more.

"Damn it, where is that brat?" Yugao muttered before running off to find wherever the hell he was.

Naruto wasn't even home. The lights were still on indicating that Naruto had left in a hurry. Yugao was just getting more and more worried. "Looks like I am gonna need help," Without wasting any more time Yugao went straight for the best trackers in town, the Inuzuka's.

# With Naruto:

"Huff,huff," Naruto was panting like crazy. He had just outran two gate guards with a puppy weighing him down.

"Woof, woof," the puppy muttered with puppy dog eyes as if saying sorry.

"Don't you woof woof me. If you hadn't made noise when we were sneaking out, this wouldn't have happened, would it now?"

"Bark,bark."

"Oh! Don't you talk back to me, you little mut."

The puppy just kept on staring at Naruto with puppy dog eyes. Naruto tried not to waver, he really did. But it was all for naught.

"Oh! Come here you, you know I can't hate you," Naruto said taking the puppy in his lap again. In response the puppy started licking on Naruto's cheeks. "Hey, stop. That tickles," all the while laughing like crazy.

"Now where do we go?" Naruto asked out lout." We should have just left yesterday. That would have given us a bigger headstart."

"Bark,bark."

"Don't you blame me. You wanted to sleep just as much as I did."

"Well,well,well. What do we have here? A little boy playing with his dog. Awww that's so sweet."

Naruto hurriedly turned to see who the owner of the unknown voice was.

It was a man sitting on a tree branch just over him. His appearance had nothing special to it, just the standard ninja get up. But one thing that drew Naruto's attention was the scratch mark on the man's headband.

"Rogue ninja," Naruto gasped.

"Woah ,you seem to know a lot, little boy. Tell me are you by chance a citizen of Konoha?" The man asked.

"So, what if I am," Naruto said defiantly.

"Oh looks like this one's got some spark in him. Wanna teach him how to show some respect, boys?"

At the signal 5 more guys came out of the bushes, every one of them just random thugs.

"Shit," Naruto cursed under his breath. There was no way he could beat these guys. Even running was not an option. He could probably deal with the random thugs but the boss was possibly jonin ranked and there was no way he could beat a jonin. Naruto knelt down and put the puppy on the ground. "Off you go now, puppy. You have to leave," Naruto urged. He couldn't let the pup be harmed because of him.

"Hey, who told you the puppy could go huh?" One of the goons yelled out.

"I did," without hesitation Naruto made the cross sign with his hands,"Kage Bunshin no Justu." Three shadow clones appeared alongside Naruto with a puff of smoke." You're gonna be sorry you messed with me," Naruto said crackling his knuckles.

"Oh ho ho. Looks like the kids got more spark than we thought. Well then come, let's see what you're made of kid," the boss said with a grin.

# 5 minutes later:

An utterly beaten Naruto lay at the footsteps of the boss. But that was bound to happen. Naruto already knew he had no chance of winning this fight. His fake bravado was just a means of letting the puppy escape and he had been successful. The puppy had eacaped.

"That was pretty gutsy of you letting the pup escape and all. But it's gonna cost you a lot more."

"Hey Kozuma, wait," one of the goons yelled. He came running to the boss with a book in his hand."I knew he looked familiar. This boy right here is the son of the Yondime Hokage,Naruto Uzumaki. There's a pretty hefty bounty on his head."

" What no way, you shitting me?"

"No,no just look here," the goon said pointing to the book."You see right there."

"Well I'll be. Looks like this is our lucky day boys. To think that we came upon this gold mine, when we were just supposed to rob a village. Looks like lady luck is on our side."

All the boys whooed. "Shit, I can't even move," thought Naruto. The situation just kept on getting worse.

"Hey, what's it say, dead or alive?" The boss asked.

"It says here, dead or alive, doesn't matter."

"Well, it's a bad day to be you kid. Because it looks you are gonna die today." The boss now known as Kozuma started getting closer and with his right hand he grabbed Naruto by the neck. Slowly he lifted Naruto up until his feet were of the ground and then he started choking him. With both hands Naruto grabbed the rogue ninja's hand and started struggling,kicking his feet in the air. Naruto couldn't even think any longer as oxygen was being cut off to his brain.

The rogue ninja was grinning from ear to ear taking pleasure in Naruto's suffering. But before he could finish Naruto off something sharp bit into his leg. "Owwwww," he screamed letting go of Naruto.

Looking down he saw that it was the pup from earlier. It had came back to save it's master. "God damn it, dog. That hurt," with a sharp swing of his leg he threw the dog away from him.

"Fucking shit," Kozuma swore, he was furious. How dare the dog bite him.

Naruto's vision was blurred. He could just make out that the puppy had come back. His mind was in utter turmoil but still he couldn't do anything. His body refused to move even an inch.

"Bark, bark," the puppy yelled, before it went for the attack again. But there was no surprise factor anymore. As such Kozuma easily caught the beast in his hand.

"Get your damn hands of my dog, you bastard," Naruto yelled from behind.

The dog still in hand Kozuma turned to face Naruto. "Huh! You want me to let go of him after what he did to me? Isn't that just hilarious boys?" Kozuma said with a chuckle.

Kozuma shifted his hand to grab the dog just like he grabbed Naruto a little while earlier. Naruto's eyes widened.

"Don't you dare do any.."

SNAP

The dogs head rested on the side in an awkward angle. " Oops! I just twisted it by accident. So sorry, here you can have it back," Kozuma said before tossing the puppy to Naruto. Naruto gently cradled the lifeless form of the puppy in his hand.

"Hey boys, did you hear that. The neck just went Pop," Kozuma said laughing wholeheartedly. Some of the goons also chuckled.

By now, Naruto had stood up laying the dead body on the ground. He's eyes were downcast.

"That seemed funny to you, did it?"

"Of course it di.."

However ,before Kozuma could finish Naruto was in front of him in a flash with a hand on his neck. Naruto grabbed his neck so hard it was almost crushing his windpipe.

"You wanna hear something funnier?" Naruto asked and before anyone could do anything Naruto twisted his hand with as much force as he could muster.

SNAP

Everyone remained stunned. What had just happened was the though going through everyone's mind.

Naruto tossed the dead body aside and looked up towards the other members. And when he did his facial features had come into full view. Naruto's whiskers had gotten thicker but most notaciblly his eyes were now blood red with a slit in the middle.

"Let me show you guys something even more funnier..."

# With Yugao:

Hana Inuzuka had tracked Naruto's scent to the outskirts of the village. They were now following suite. Naruto had actually gone pretty far away from the village.

'Where are you going, Naruto?' Yugao asked herself.

"You sure he wasn't kidnapped?" Yugao asked.

"I'm pretty sure. There's only one scent alongside Naruto and it belongs to an animal, a dog most probably."

Yugao couldn't make even a single sense of what was happening. All she knew was nothing good was happening.

"I smell blood," Hana declared suddenly.

"Shit, be ready for combat Hana."

"No it's not Naruto's blood."

"Then who's?"

"We are about to find out. He's just up ahead."

When Hana and Yugao reached their destination the sight before them was baffling. There laid about five no six bodies around Naruto with all of their necks broken except one who was beaten to death which explained the blood on Naruto's hands as he just stood there in the middle looking at his blood soaked hands.

"Naruto?"

Naruto looked towards them and for a second Yugao thought that his eyes were red. But it was just for a second. Now that she looked clearly it was clear Naruto was just as confused as them.

"Yugao sensei?" Naruto said meekly barely able to talk.

Though Yagao was not able to make any sense of what was happening, she knew that Naruto needed her support.

So without thinking any further Yugao embraced Naruto in a hug.

"Yugao sensei. What, just what am I?" Naruto asked as if he was scared of himself.

"Just shhhh. We will talk later. For now just take a little rest."

The exhaustion finally caught up to Naruto and he fell unconscious then and there in Yugao's embrace.

The End.
