A/N: Well, that was quick, considering the pace I update at...not really. Read.

"Hey kit, you're gonna die. Wanna live?"

Naruto gaped up at the fox. "What do you-" he suddenly remembered what had happened before he arrived in this strange chamber. "I'm going to...die...? But I can't die! Not yet! I have to become Hokage and... and..."

The room got dimmer. Kyuubi glanced around and continued in a soothing voice. "Yes, you will die very soon. But I can make it so that you don't." Naruto looked up. "All I need you to do is open the cage. I can't do it myself, but you can. Just remove the seal and open the door."

"That's it?"

"Yes, just open the door and I'll take care of the rest." Naruto pulled off all the seals from the door. He then opened the door. "Excellent..."

Once the door was fully opened, Kyuubi lunged at Naruto. Naruto screamed.

Itachi wiped his sword clean before putting it away. Killing weaklings in such a manner made him feel sick. Then how was he able to kill the Hokage so easily? Is everybody in this village so weak?

He heard a collective group of gasps and turned back around. The brat was standing even with multiple wounds on his body. He then let out a primordial yell that sent a shiver down even Itachi's spine. All of his wounds started healing at a rapid rate. Nine tails erupted out of his lower back in a bloodied glory, the wounds healing instantaneously But most surprising was Naruto's right arm. Something seemed to be coming out of there too. After it was done, the head of a fox, fur matted with blood as if it had crawled out, replaced Naruto's former right arm. All of the ninja's, Itachi included, drew their weapons. Naruto closed his eyes. When he opened the again, the cerulean blue was blood red.

A ninja from the crowd charged at Naruto. The man made it within ten paces of him before he was cut in half, then in four by the tails. Others charged in groups, but none of them had made it any closer than the first person. Naruto pulled the kunai out from his leg and the wound healed. He looked towards Itachi.

Ninjas started rallying to Itachi's position. Most of them were other Uchihas. All of their Sharingans were activated. Naruto charged them.

Two by two, Naruto mowed them down with his tail and sometimes with the kunai he was holding. Soon all that were left were the father and son who had initially executed him. Or had tried to. Both were heavily wounded. Naruto smiled. "I think I should return this." He threw the kunai with inhuman strength at Itachi.

Somehow, the father got in between Itachi and his kunai. It went through him and it nearly went through Itachi's left arm.

"Hmph. Stupid old man. Got in the way of my kill." He took a step forward and the elder Uchiha was sliced into a dozen pieces.

"Father!"

Naruto looked to the source of the outburst. A small Uchiha was fighting against the hold of his mother in the doorway of a house. "Let go! I'm gonna kill the bastard that killed father!" Naruto recognized that face. Sasuke... That was his father... He clutched his head. All of the things he had just done became aware to him now. "Kami, what have I done..." He ran straight out of Konoha, tails blocking any incoming projectile.

"...Fortunately, there was minimal damage to the village and no civillian casualties. However, there were many casualties of nins, especially from the Uchiha clan. Over half of their active nins were either killed or severely wounded." The chuunin flipped to the front of the report.

"Severely wounded? I heard the demon killed every ninja in sight before running away."

The chuunin glanced up from her report. "There was one survivor from Naruto's attack: Uchiha Itachi." Several murmurs went through the room. She continued. "Other casualties include twenty others, excluding the Uchiha. They are-" A ninja burst through the door of the council room.

"Sirs, there has been a kidnapping at the Hyuuga compound." Council members murmured between themselves surprised.

"Who was kidnapped and by who?"

"We believe that the kidnapping was done by the foreign diplomats from Lightning Village. And the heir to the Hyuuga clan, Hyuuga Hinata, was kidnapped. Her branch house guardian, Hyuuga Neji, was found paralyzed in her room. Several of the Hyuuga nin went after the wagon carrying the diplomats, who left soon after the attack through the gate on the other side of the village."

"We should send other nin to assist them. They will do anything to get their hands on the Hyuuga bloodline limit and most likely use it against us." Several of the Hyuuga clan members nodded their heads in agreement.

"But what should we do about the Kyuubi? We should be concentrating all our resources on the capture and destruction of it. You saw what it did to a handful of ninja. It should not be released into Fire Country territory." The councilmen argued. There was an explosion in the west. Several minutes later, a white-eyed runner entered the room.

"Requesting medical assistance. The wagon we tracked and followed was a decoy rigged with explosive tags. The enemy has found some way to shield themselves from the Byukagan."

"Request granted. We will halt the pursuit of the Kyuubi for now. The recovery and execution of those Lightning village traitors should be our priority. They have made a grave insult to Konoha." Most of the council members nodded their heads. A few grumbled in protest. "You are all dismissed." The chuunins bowed and left the room. "We will now discuss who shall be chosen for the next Hokage."

"Don't bother."

Everybody looked at the two ninja that entered the room. "Who are you? This is a private discussion. Nobody is allowed in without the consent of all the council members."

The taller newcomer smiled as he made a hand seal. "I'm the next Hokage."

Nobody raised any sort of protest. They couldn't. They were all dead.

After his father's funeral, Sasuke was deep in the woods training himself to his limit. "Father... I'll kill that stupid bastard who killed you. He will pay." He tripped and fell from physical exhaustion. He forced himself to get up and shouted. "I'll kill you, Uzumaki Naruto, if it's the last thing I do!"
