Yo, its me again. Chaos star951, back with the next chapter of Vengence.

I was kind of disappointed that I didn't get a lot of reviews for this story, but oh well.

I don't own Naruto, but I do own 15 of the Naruto Mangas.

Read the notes at the bottom, if you don't mind.

Vengence

Chapter 2

"Hurry! The patient has lost too much blood."

"The patient's chakra network is completely erratic!"

"Where is Lady Tsunade?!"

"He appears to be in shock!"

Nurses scurried back and forth as quickly as mice do when they spot a cat on the hunt. Tubes of all shapes and kinds stuck in the blonde's boy. Each trying to fix the damage that had been inflicted.

Shizune stood there outside the doors where the medics where operating on Naruto. Boy, it had been really surprising for the dark-haired woman to find him laying in the middle of the street.

Time-reversal jutsu!

The mousy medic had gone after Sakura to ensure that she got a sturdier desk than the previous one. Thunder sounded off up in the sky. Shizune looked up to see nothing but huge black clouds that started began to gush out torrents of rain. The wind began to pick up as well. Yes it definitely looked like a storm that Konoha wouldn't forget for some time to come.

'Man, it looks terrible out here. I hope Sakura didn't get caught up in this.'

Taking cover in a nearby building, the dark-haired medic heaved a heavy sigh. 'Why did I become an apprentice to such a violent person? All I did was remove all her hidden sake-stashes from her office. I don't think it was necessary to throw her desk across the skies.'

Sighing again, a sudden loud somewhat metallic thud startled her. She looked at the wall where the sound had originated. Nothing that was there seemed out of place. "It must have been something on the outside of this building."

Curiosity getting the better of her, she stepped back out into this seemingly typhoon-like storm. Looking to the outside wall, her eyes sought the source of the disturbance. A sudden gust of wind shot past her. As it did she heard something that sounded like fabric being rustled in wind.

Following her ears, she came across the object that had been making the previous noises that caught her attention. There, caught on a wooden barrel, was a dark colored piece of cloth partially flapping in the storm. Doing what any curious woman would do in this situation, Shizune picked it up. Instantly realizing what it was, a Konoha headband.

'What's this doing here?' She inspected it closely, as if searching for a clue as to its owner. 'How it get so torn up? Whoever this belongs to must have been through a dangerous ordeal. Wait, there's blood on this! Whoever this belongs to could be in trouble.'

Taking off in the opposite direction that the wind was blowing, she saw a figure lying on the ground, completely motionless.

'This looks bad…wait, orange…? What ninja wears oran…Naruto?!' She reached the person and flipped them onto their back. 'Orange clothes and blonde hair…It is Naruto! Where has he been all this time?' What was she thinking, the blonde was injured. She shook her head to focus on more important thoughts before placing it to his chest she discovered his heartbeat was beginning to grow faint. "Naruto, hang on…I'll take you top the hospital immediately!"

Picking him up best she could, she bolted towards the hospital.

Jutsu Realease!

She had been barred from helping seeing as she was too tired from carrying the boy in the storm to be of any assistance.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S IN CRITICAL CONDITION?!?!" Shouted a loud voice from down the hall, a voice that could only belong to Konoha's own Godaime.

Soon the buxom blonde turned the corner, now visible and dragging a few of the medical staff whom evidently were trying to detain her from getting to the room.

Shizune could only stare and sigh at her mentor's disruptive behavior. She knew the blonde was worried about the boy (well anyone with eyes or ears could tell) but she didn't have to go about it like this.

Hearing the disturbance a doctor emerged from the demon container's room. He was petrified that the Hokage would maim him after he gave her the report of the boy's injuries, so instead he handed the paper to Shizune then darted back into the room.

It happened quickly enough that the dark-haired kunoichi almost didn't realize what she now held in her hand. Quickly glancing over the details, Shizune saw the report be snatched away from her in the blink of an eye. Now the report was in probably the most dangerous person to read it, Tsunade herself. Broken ribs and arm, severe chakra burns...

The Hokage's eyes widened with shock.

Naruto's mindscape:

Naruto lay there, curled into a ball as small as he could manage. He shivered in the wake of some foreign fear, a fear that he had not known before and yet…at the same time seemed familiar. He didn't care that the floor of this desolate sewer-like place was covered with a thin layer of water, all he wanted was to disappear. Disappear and make this fear and pain vanish.

Splash!

'What was that?!' Naruto thought.

Splash!

'Footsteps…' He could now see a figure approaching him. It now was close to him. "Get back!" yelled Naruto as he attempted to smack the person away before crawling back.

Now he could see the person clearly. The figure was about as tall as he was, but it was difficult to tell too much else. He wore snow colored ninja scandals, white pants, a pale-colored straightjacket, and his head was concealed by bandages in a similar manner to the sound-nin, Dosu. His only visible facial feature was one icy-blue eye, it stared at him as if gazing to the deepest depths of his soul.

"Greetings…Naruto."

Forgetting the fear that had swallowed him, Naruto stood and stared this new entity.

"Who are you? And how do you know my name?"

"My name is of little importance. And I know your name because I've been watching you for years…"

"…Wait, how are you in my mind?"

"There's an interesting story behind that but…I don't think I'll tell you it."

Naruto bolted straight at this person, yelling, "You'll tell me now! Even if I have to beat it out of you." Rearing his fist back, the blonde thrust it forward only to have this unnamed stranger side-step his assault.

"Come Naruto, I know you can do better than that," He taunted. "I can't even use my arms and yet you still can't hit me? How pathetic…"

Naruto snarled at him, and then formed the hand seal of his favorite jutsu. "Shadow clone jutsu!" Several copies of him materialized appeared around him.

"How typical. Can't you think of a more original tactic?"

The clones quickly scattered, completely surrounding the masked-figure. Each one charged at him but he proved far too evasive for the barrage. He dodged each one as they approach without even breaking a sweat.

"Hah, too easy!"

Spinning around something smashed straight into his chest just above where his arms where tied down. "Rasengan!" It felt like his flesh was being ripped off as he went crashing into one of the metal walls.

The original Naruto stood there, his arm extended in the direction his adversary flew. Carefully watching him for any signs of retaliation, the blonde slowly approached the figure to see the full extent of the damage his technique caused.

The concealed being lay there, propped up against the wall with a hole ripped straight through the cloth that restrained him. However, he didn't seem to be moving at all.

'How did he get into my mind? Why did he have himself completely hidden? What was he hiding?'

His curiosity getting the better of him, Naruto began to unwind the bandages encircling the man's head.

It seems that that life had yet another surprise the demon container. For as he unveiled the man's face he uncovered blonde hair and…three whisker marks on each cheek?! Naruto stumbled backwards.

This man looked exactly like he did.

"So…I take it you're surprised by my face Naruto." In an instant his doppelganger had him by the throat, holding him just barely off his feet. "Now I'm free to do whatever I want."

Naruto could only look back into his own blue eyes, but instead of the bright azure irises that displayed every emotion to the world, like he had, he only saw a pair of ice blue eyes staring emotionlessly back at him.

"W-who are…you?" Naruto grabbed at this imposter's wrist, trying to break the hold he'd been captured in.

"Heh heh, that's for me to know." Suddenly a huge flame of black chakra emerged all around them and the light faded from his consciousness.

Hi, thanks to everyone who reviewed the first chapter.

Anyway, I have an idea for a small little imp-like creature with the ability to play music whenever or wherever that can be summoned. Please note that this will only be for comedy and comedy relief purposes and has no real impact on the main story's plot. Personally I like this idea, but I'm going to let the fans decide.

Have the imp

Don't have the imp

Please vote when you REVIEW this chapter. Tell me what you thought of the chapter.

Oh yeah, one more thing, I'd like to get at least 10 more reviews or I may scrap this story all together.

Sayonara for now, and remember...REVIEW
