The Love That Brought War
Chapter 2A/N: Here we are, chapter 2. Thanks for reading up to here! I know it looks really short, so I'm going to try and update chapter 1 soon. Ok, read on, and enjoy!
Naruto stormed out of the Hokage's office.
"This sucks! I can do any mission that they can do; I can do it better! Tsunade just doesn't want to give me the chance to prove it! What do they have that I don't?" Naruto thought about it for a moment. Neji was marked as a genius, Ten Ten had spinning scrolls, Lee had those gosh darn eyebrows, and Sakura was learning all kinds of healing techniques. Sakura. Naruto's teammate. The one who he had protected so many times.
"Now she is becoming stronger then I am! It's just not fair…" He whined to himself. Suddenly an idea popped into his head.
"What if I tag along on the mission? If I'm quiet then nobody will know…" With a look of determination, Naruto set off towards the village gates.
Ten Ten was grumpily walking around the village looking for Naruto.
"When I find Naruto I'm gonna hit him!" She muttered. It wasn't until she neared a certain ramen shop that a certain ninja appeared. Then, almost like her thoughts had come alive, she saw Naruto. He had a sly grin on his face that defiantly foretold trouble. And, to Ten Ten's surprise, Naruto ignored the ramen shop and headed towards the village gate.
"Hold it right there Naruto." Ten Ten commanded.
"Oh, uh, hey Ten Ten." Naruto said, stopping in his tracks. "What's up?" He asked in a semi casual voice.
"Don't you even think about stalking Neji, Lee, and Sakura on the mission." Ten Ten glared at Naruto.
"I'm not stalking anybody! Why would I want to go on a mission with Mr. I-Am-So-Awesome? ((That's Neji, just so you know.)) Besides, Bushy Brows might get mad if I walk in on his newest attempt to get a date with Sakura." Naruto sneered at this last part.
"Why you!" Ten Ten whacked Naruto hard across the face. "Go eat a slug, or whatever it is you do." Ten Ten huffed at Naruto before walking away.
"I can't believe it!" Naruto thought, kicking a stone at his feet. On his face was a scowl and he snarled at anyone who spoke to him. Poor Hinata, who had offered to get some ramen with him after Ten Ten had left, ran away in fright from the look that Naruto had given her. So you could say Naruto was having a bad day.
"They think I'm weak, that's why I couldn't go!" Naruto glared at the ground. He looked up to find that he was standing in the middle of one of Konoha's forests.
"BUT I AM NOT WEAK BELIEVE IT!" He shouted suddenly. A few birds took off at the sound of his voice. In his rage Naruto aimed a kick at a large oak tree that was growing nearby. For a second he thought his toe was broken.
"Owww!" He yelped, hopping on one foot.
"You stupid little boy…" Naruto looked around. He was alone, and yet Naruto was positive somebody just spoke to him.
"How is your toe? Does it hurt?" The voice said in mock consideration. It sounded deep and scary.
"W-who are you?" Naruto attempted to sound brave.
"You can't figure it out?" Naruto thought for a minute.
"Hold on, are you the…. Nine tailed fox?"
"No, I'm your grandmother." The demon growled sarcastically.
"Yes I'm the nine tailed fox! Now, I understand you are seeking power."
"Wait, are you in my head or something?" Naruto, being the blonde that he was, had not yet figured that out. The Kyubi sighed impatiently.
"Do you want my help or not?"
"Ok ok! I'm just not used to communicating with you!" Naruto was feeling both nervous and excited at this point.
"If you want my help, then I'm going to have to 'barrow' your body for awhile."
"Hey, uh, Kyubi, I don't feel comfortable with that idea." The Kyubi growled. Naruto winced and said quickly
"Are you sure I'll be strong?" Naruto asked.
"Just close your eyes….It'll all be over soon…." The Kyubi ended its sentence with evil laughter.
"Promise me you won't attack anybody, ok?" Naruto pleaded, some fear in his voice.
"Relax. You're in good claws. Now close your eyes like a good little victim- I mean ninja." Naruto hesitated.
"I'm counting on you nine tailed fox! Make me as strong as possible!" Naruto shut his eyes and waited. After a moment of silence, Naruto's eyes opened. They had lost the light blue color and instead they were a deep red. Naruto grinned evilly.
"He really is stupid." Naruto's voice didn't sound like its usual goofy self. It was deeper, harsher.
Ten Ten was still irritated at Naruto. To calm herself down, she headed towards a nearby forest. And of course, she saw Naruto there. Ten Ten was just about to yell out but Naruto screamed first. It seemed like he was talking to himself. So instead, Ten Ten hid herself behind a tree. For several minutes Naruto stared off into the distance, and Ten started to question Naruto's sanity. Just when she was ready to go to Tsunade's office, Naruto closed his eyes. And when they opened his eyes were a deep red.
"What…? W-What is that?" She thought. Slowly she backed away. Unfortunately a twig was right behind her and she stepped on it.
"Oh crap!" Ten Ten muttered, while Naruto cast her an evil look. Then he charged. Ten Ten did the only thing she could think of: run. She ran and ran, but Naruto was always a step or two behind her. Then, like in a horror film, Ten Ten tripped. She tried to roll away but Naruto was now upon her. Ten Ten was desperately searching for a way out of this…
A/N: Will Ten Ten make it? Sorry, I know this chapter didn't have much to do with Sakura or Lee, but the next chapter definitely will. Thanks for reading this far, and I hope your enjoying yourselves.
