"Ne, Naru-kun, did you mean what you said when...you..."
"When I said I would protect you with my life?"
"H-hai..."
"I did..." my heart leapt to my throat before settling back after noticing the pause. "because I would do anything for you" His normal ocean blue eyes that always comforted me were now replaced with the icy blue of determination. I latched onto his arm and began trying to drain body warmth.
"Thank you."
(AN: i'm not going to make it ami pov anymore it's third limited{basically if it doesn't happen to naruto, ami, or girl 3, you won't know about it until they do...yes you will learn about girl 3 but not until chapter 6 or so, maybe earlier if i combine some chapters.)
Anywho, on with the story...
They were walking down the main street, Ami still latched onto his arm, the freezing wind whipping at their clothes. An ANBU ninja with a weasel mask appeared, handing them each a brown paper bag. "Hokage-sama wishes to speak to you two...put those on first, though." The way he phrased it making it perfectly clear he was the one who bought them.
He led them to the back door of a clothing store and ushered them into changing rooms. Five minutes later, they walked out.
Naruto was wearing an orange and black striped long-sleeve shirt under a black short-sleeve hoodie with grey trim. His pants were grey with an orange stripe around the knees. He was wearing black closed-toe sandals with orange stripes and grey gloves with attached arm warmers.
Ami was wearing a grey sweater with purple stripes around the wrists and black pants with a purple stripe running down the front of each leg. She had white closed-toe sandals with attached shin guards and purple straps. She also wore a grey jacket with purple down the zipper and on the elbows.
All in all, they had their favorite colors on and didn't look stupid.
Itachi walked them to the Hokage Mansion in silence, going over different reasons in their head, each one more far-fetched than the last. The one that made the most sense: Naruto had killed someone, and now he was going to die.
The Sandaime Hokage seemed tired when they walked in and merely flicked his wrist to signal the ANBU to leave. When the will-o'-the-wisp completely disappeared, Naruto asked the first question.
"It's because I killed someone, isn't it?"
Sarutobi stared at Naruto wide-eyed. He sighed. "Yes, Naruto-kun, the Civilian Council and some of the Clans are asking for your blood. Fugaku Uchiha said you even attacked Sasuke Uchiha and broke his nose. Is it true?"
"Yes, jiji..."
"*sigh* Okay... Ami, what did you do?"
"Nothing Hokage-sama... why?"
Sarutobi slunked in his chair dejectedly, defeat written clearly on his face. "Beacuse they asked for you as well..."
Ami stared wide-eyed. Her too? She had a feeling it was because of her and Naruto being so close.
"However, I want you two to be there during this." If the Council saw Naruto and Ami together, their hate might waver, ever so slightly. And if it doesn't, then at least it will be quicker than chasing them around the village.
-COUNCIL CHAMBERS-
"May I ask why the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki and his... girlfriend are here?" Fugaku asked.
"Yes you may, Uchiha-sama." Naruto said.
Realizing the subtle joke, Fugaku re-asked the question. "Why are the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki and his girlfriend here?"
"That's what I thought you said..." With speed right above too fast for ANBU to stop, Naruto snatched a kunai from the ANBU's holster beside him and hurled it at Fugaku, imbedding it into his skull via his eye socket. He fell over dead immediately.
Several ANBU surrounded Naruto, swords drawn, releasing enough KI to render unconcious anyone below mid-jonin. Naruto remained as stoic as ever, the KI not even regestering.
"Please, stop radiating KI. I get more than that on an hourly basis. And I killed him because he told me I was the Kyuubi, which is punishable by death. Just because I know about it, doesn't mean the law isn't still in effect. Right, Hokage-sama?"
'Why didn't he call me Jiji? I hope it's just because of the formal setting... But that's never stopped him before... If I remember later, I'll ask him. But for now...' "Umm... yes, yes it is. Now, why do you all want to kill Naruto Uzumaki and Ami Murasaki?"
"He killed Cherii Haruno and several genin, chunin, and joni-"
"In self-defense." Sarutobi interrupted. The attack had taken place near Ichiraku Ramen. Teuchi and Ayame implemented a policy where they talk bad about Naruto and Ami. If the customer agrees, then they get a few eyedrops in their ramen... Basically, everyone at Ichiraku likes Naruto and Ami and sent testimonies about everything leading up to the beating... anonomously of course.
"He is being influenced by the Kyuubi and I will put an end to it." An old man with half his body covered in bandages and an air of oppression spoke up.
Sarutobi sighed. "Danzo, he is in no way being influnced by the Kyuubi. And if you speak out of term again, be it threatining Naruto or speaking of the Kyuubi, I will have the ANBU release Naruto and have him kill you."
Danzo laughs darkly. "That brat? He could never touch me, let alone harm or even kill me. A laughable threat." Danzo fazes out of exhistance, appearing behind Ami and lifting her up by her throat. He kills the three ANBU gurding her and Naruto, then turns toward Sarutobi. "While you have gotten weak in your old age, I have only gotten stronger. And noone in this room could stand against me." He backhands Naruto, who had been too stunned to do anything and fazes again. The last thing Naruto heard being Ami's choked pleas for his help.
-FOR NOW UNKNOWN LOCATION-
Ami was tied and gagged to a pole in an otherwise empty room. Danzo stood above her monologing.
"So this is the Kyuubi's whore... Hmph, I guess beggars can't be choosers. Hehe, do you know why you're in this bare room? It's because the seals in this room respond to demon chakra. Think of it as a modified supression seal. Modified in the way that it's much more painful..." He began to laugh at his own sick joke when a small explosion rocked the building.
-COUNCIL CHAMBERS-
That "small" explosion was actually a very large one that killed every member on the civilian side of the chamber in less than one second, thank's to Naruto's one-tailed fox cloak. He turned towards Sarutobi and his face softened ever so slightly.
"Where did he take her?" he asked in a slightly demonic voice. Sarutobi pointed towards the ANBU headquarters on the other side of the Hokage Mansion.
"In the basement..." In a flash of red light, Naruto was gone. Sarutobi was confused. 'A red hirashin... How strong are you, Naruto?' Another explosion rocked the ground, knocking him off balance. Looking over, he saw a side of the Headquarters sliding into the growing dust cloud.
-ANBU HEADQUARTERS-
Naruto animalistically tore through the ROOT members stationed there. 'Best of Konoha... I hope not...'
He hears screaming that sounds like Ami and jumps down the chamber, easily 500 feet, and lands silently, blood raining down and sizzling when it touched his chakra cloak. A platoon of ROOT members were between him and a large oak door, no doubt where Ami was...
Several members charged the blonde, swords drawn. Naruto raised a hand and slammed it down, causing a huge tremor, the ninja on the sides falling the rest of the way down to their death.
"RRAAAGGHHHHH!" That scream sent the rest flying towards the wall and the door, shattering it with the force.
That's when he saw it.
Ami, bound and gagged. Tears in her eyes and cuts all over her body. And the man responsible for it was standing above her, kunai poised, startled by the door blasting open.
'That door had gravity seals on it... It weighed close to five tons... And that boy destroyed it with just a roar?' On the inside, Danzo was fearing for his life, but his appearance was as stoic as ever.
That made Naruto angrier. He charged Danzo, but as soon as he crossed the doorway, he fell to his knees clutching his head while his chakra cloak receded. "Waahhh!" Electrical shocks in excess of a hundred thosand volts were being sent through the seal and traveling to his brain and shocking the Kyuubi in his subconscious. And he blacked out...
-MINDSCAPE-
Naruto awoke, glitching (think of jumper when they're electrocuted...don't own that either)in the water, ocassionally spasming. Glancing over, he sees an attractive female with long red hair and fox ears and nine tails. Other than the black kimono and blood red eyes with slits for pupils, he couldn't make out any more deatail of the also-glitching figure.
"K-k-kyuu-yuubi?" he asked, slowly making his way towards the cage
"Y-yes, N-naru-uto... We're gonn-n-na d-die-e..." Kyuubi tried shunshining to the edge of the cage but couldn't control it and slammed into the bars. "I-i'm o-k-kay..."
"W-why are w-we dy-ying?"
"Supp-press-sion se-eals." Kyuubi shakily snapped her fingers and they entered a white space. No walls, no ceiling, and no floor, just white...pure white. And Naruto and Kyuubi weren't glitching anymore.
"Ne, Kyuubi... where are we?" Naruto asked looking around and noticed pictures of Teuchi, Ayame, Sarutobi, Iruka, Ami, and other people who had been nice to him.
"We're in your soul, and it's soo pure and huge. Oh, and call me Kyuu by the way..." she said, a small blush forming across her face.
"Okay, Kyuu-chan. But why is it so pure and why are those pictures there?"
Kyuubi blushed more at the added suffix. "Those pictures are ones of people you care about and it's pure because you have done no wrong." She looked over and saw Naruto was doubting her. "Those people you killed were trying to harm you and Ami. Self-defense, especially defending another person will actually make your soul purer-er."
Naruto seemed happier but one thing was still worrying him. "What about the supression seals?"
"There's only one way for them not to work. These supression seals work by entering the seal used to supress the demon: in this case me. Then it sends lethal amounts of electricity until either you or me pass out, whichever comes last... So the only way I can think of is to get rid of the seal..."
"But how? This seal only go away if... you're... dead..."
Kyuu nodded sadly. "I know Naru-kun. The sewer represent your chakra pathways and the water represents your chakra. If I were to assimilate myself with you, I technically would be dead, causing the seal to vanish, and the water level would rise to the ceiling."
Naruto stared at Kyuu wide-eyed. "You would die for me?"
Kyuu nodded sadly and felt a warm presence around her torso. Looking down she found it was Naruto. She ruffled his hair slightly and said "Goodbye, my Naru-kun..." before vanishing. Neither noticed a picture of Kyuu appear with the others.
-REAL WORLD-
What had been a few minutes in Naruto's soul had been less than a milisecond to Danzo and Ami. So when they saw the burst of light, they had no idea what was going on. When it receded, Naruto was different. He had grown about six inches and his hair resembled that of Minato's. His nails were now shaped like minature kunai and his whisker marks were darker. His eyes were now purplish-silver with black slits for pupils. All in all, he was scary... To Danzo at least. Ami, well Ami thought he was kinda hot.
Naruto held out his hand as small black and white orbs raced around him. they began to settle around his hand and condensed. He tossed the ball in his mouth, and the ground cracked under his weight. He opens his mouth and a beam of fire shoots out, laced with black chakra, incenerating Danzo.
Ami looks at Naruto after he cuts the ropes and hugs him, barely coming to his chin. She leans up and kisses him, causing both to blush. But Naruto then puts on a serious face.
"Ami, we have to leave. I've killed so many people..."
Ami stares at him lovingly. The fact that he said "we" meant he wants her to go too...
"Sure, Naru-kun, but can I bring a friend, too?"
"Of course Ami-chan. You get her and I'll get some clothes and supplies and whatnot..."
"Alright Naru-kun. I'll meet you at dawn at the East Gate. Bring enough for three people." She winked and kissed him, again causing both to blush.
She walks away, Naruto staring at her retreating form. 'Man, I'm lucky...'
-END-
Hmm, I wonder who the other person is. Probably a girl right? A friend of Ami's? Not too many of those.
Anywho, of course you read but review too so i know what you think.
The next story I'm writing is Squad 7: rewritten, but rewritten how...
