XD Just wait you'll see. Also I'll be giving you all an update as to pairings and harems and who all will be involved with each other, NEXT CHAPTER.
Konoha Council Room
The room was tense was all of the Councilmen and women present, although only a small portion of the Shinobi Council knew what was going on those who did know were remaining tight lipped. What had everyone else silently chattering to one another was that something bad had happened, the reason why because even most of the civilians throughout the village noticed the mass of Jounins running through the city. The problem being that these are Jounins who are the elite of their forces, trained to be stealthy and fight entire wars out of public eyes, but all throughout yesterday people were seeing them running at top speed all over the village! As they all waited for their leader to arrive many were now openly speculating what it could be when they all froze, as a large amount of KI was felt by everyone there. As both of the Civilian and Shinobi Councils could feel the source of the KI actually get closer to them, even a few of the Shinobi Councilmen had started to sweat, as the door opened they could see their leader the Sandaime walk in. For the civilians there this was a first as many of them had ever seen the Hokage like this before, for the Shinobi Council however they were almost all collectively thinking the same thing as the elderly leader made his way to his seat. "The Kami no Shinobi is back."
That's what most of them were thinking as a certain Uchiha Clan Head was mentally thanking his ability to keep a killer poker face, "Kami, I haven't seen that old man like this in years. Hopefully that jutsu worked the way it was supposed to, but let's face it, if they were able to find out that I was involved I'd be dead by now." Fugaku thought as he kept up his facade of a 'concerned Clan Head', as Hiruzen sat down he placed on his desk a folder filled to the brim with documents, knitting his fingers together in front of his face and resting his elbows on the desk he looked at everyone present. As he quietly wondered if any of those gathered were responsible for Naruto's fate he took time to study everyone's face, their posture, whatever 'tells' they might reveal to suggest any guilt, and their body language. Taking all of it in for several minutes as he came to the conclusion, that he'd need to tell them all what had happened and watch their responses if he wanted to catch anyone.
Sighing to himself he he reigned in his KI before speaking, "I know that many of you are unaware of what has transpired and that only a handful of you know what happened, so to those who don't know let me fill you in on what's going on. As I arrived in the village early yesterday morning from my trip to the capital I had decided to go and visit our Jinchuuriki Naruto-kun, however on arriving at the orphanage I received some very disturbing news. The receptionist and personal assistant to the Headmistress, Jihi Ichiraku broke down sobbing and confessed that Naruto-kun was missing, that she didn't know where he was or if he had been taken." pausing to let his words sink in he carefully swept his gaze across the room, noting without surprise as most of the civilians appeared slightly happy with the news.
The Shinobi Council however were a different story altogether as they all seemed to have the appropriate response on their faces, they all knew exactly what it means for any village to lose it's Jinchuuriki. Jinchuuriki are a major part of the village's military power, a highly trained shinobi with the ability to wield and control the abilities and chakra of incredibly powerful demons, any of them can easily be classified as an S Rank threat on sheer principle. For one to go missing is not good at all, it can mean any number of things from being murdered to worse, being abducted, if that was the case then anyone would be able to brainwash Naruto into attacking the village!
Feeling that he had given them enough time he continued, "After Jihi-san confirmed this for me by showing me Naruto-kun's bed, I made my way to the Headmistresses' office to question her, I had immediately suspected her involvement for multiple reasons. One being that she and I are the only two people with keys to gain entry into the orphanage, and another because I had Jaraiya put his best seals all over the orphanage ensuring that it would be one of the safest places in the entire village. Not even my best ANBU or Jounins are capable of breaking in which lead me to believe one of two scenarios, either an incredibly skilled and powerful shinobi managed to break into a building as secure as my own office, or somebody threw Naruto outside in the middle of the night." he finished as retrieved his pipe from his robes and began to load it with his favorite tobacco, snapping his fingers while moulding chakra he created a small candle flame at the tip of his pointer finger.
After lighting up his pipe he took a few deep puffs before he decided to continue, "After I gave the Headmistress over to the ANBU to take to Ibiki I instructed the Jounin and ANBU forces gathered outside the orphanage to begin searching the entire village and the surrounding lands. I did not receive a report back till earlier this morning," said Hiruzen between puffs. "Apparently after confirming that he wasn't in the village at all my shinobi began to scout the surrounding lands when Tsume-san and Hiashi-san's squad picked up Naruto's trail, the trail took the entire force some 38 miles NorthWest of the village. They wound up at some little clearing right next to the Naraka River where they found a literal bloodbath, they discovered the corpses of 34 men all of whom were our own shinobi and that Naruto was not among them. The men they found dead were almost all completely naked with their clothes discarded on the ground, and they were all covered in their own blood and semen." he said as his KI began to leak out once more. "It was eventually concluded that everyone of them had undoubtedly tortured and raped Naruto, it was confirmed through blood and crime scene analysis that this entire event must have occurred the other night and lasted several hours." opening up the folder in front of him, he took another puff of his pipe before continuing. "In this folder are the names of all of those men who were found dead, some of them belonged to the Uchiha, the Hyuuga, the Yamanaka, and Tengu clans while the rest were mostly from regular shinobi and civilian families. It was also discovered that not only was there another person there present who partook in Naruto's rape, but he used some strange Jutsu to sterilize himself and warp his DNA beyond recognition, meaning we were not able to identify him."
After saying this his eyes began to sweep around the room once more as he glared holes into everyone's skulls, his KI steadily rising, his eyes once more taking in everything as he tried to find any looks of guilt or relief. Meanwhile Fugaku could only school his features as best he could as he was currently doing his absolute best to look innocent, he couldn't afford to appear like he didn't care, and he certainly couldn't let any positive emotions show. It'd be pretty awkward to try and explain him smiling or appearing relieved at this point and time, Kami forbid if he let himself look even remotely guilty. "Ha! Sorry you old fool but you're not going to be catching me up that easily, thanks to my variant of the anti-pregnancy jutsu you'll never be able to pin it to me. Hell the jutsu doesn't even have a name yet, but damn is it useful. Now all I have to do is keep up appearances like I'm actually disgusted or appalled, and lay low for a few months." As Fugaku thought this he saw Hiruzen's eyes sweep over him, he knew that right now even a single twitch out of character would arouse the old man's suspicion, and with the dead clansmen of his that were found at the scene he would have to answer for why they were there in the first place. As this was going on a plan slowly began to form in Fugaku's mind, a plan of how he could continue to get away with what he had done. He is the head of the Military Police Force in the village, a force made up almost entirely of his clan, some Inuzukas and Hyuugas. If he were to discreetly send out Shadow Clones at night, he could create as many different alibis as he needs, they could cover for him while he continues to have his fun. He remembered what it felt like to have absolute power over that little brat, forcing him to do whatever he wished, he wanted more of that power. The more he thought about it the more he began to remember his favorite part of that night when he and Hayate had gotten around to their third turn, after Hayate had thrown the demon on it's back and entered him, Fugaku had decided to instead get behind Hayate. Even now he could still remember how tight the younger man's ass was, he had initially protested at first, but given his position and their difference in strength there was little he could do. Unlike with Naruto, Fugaku was merciful and gave Hayate a minute to adjust before he began thrust his hips inside of the young Chunin, the sheer force of his thrusts sending Hayate's dick in and out of Naruto. As he thought of how intoxicating that rush of power was having the both of them beneath him, as if he was screwing them both at the same time, he couldn't help the erection that came with his impure thoughts. Keeping his features schooled and not slipping up, he thought of how he managed to make both of them moan just for him, one thing was for sure, he was not done by a long shot
As he thought of this he knew he would be playing a dangerous game, Hiruzen was no fool, and he would undoubtedly have an eye on him for some time as the investigation continued. Afterall Fugaku was in a perfect position to see and handle all possible evidence given his position, and appear completely innocent. As they eyes of his 'leader' moved away from him and the others sitting near him he just knew he had gotten away with the other night, unlike those other fools, he had made damn sure that he had an airtight alibi. It's very easy to do for a committing a crime if you make a habit over several months prior of working long hours, then hardly anyone questions you when you don't come home till late at night…..or the next morning. Having spent the last 7 months 'investigating' a series of rapes all around the village, all of which he was able to get away with thanks to the nifty little jutsu he invented, if he wasn't under pressure to look innocent right now…..he'd laugh. He'd laugh his Kami damned head off right then and there.
As this was going on in another part of the room Tsume Inuzuka, Matriarch of the Inuzuka Clan, was currently doing everything she could to calm her husband Okami down. Her husband being the current Clan Head of the Inuzuka's had returned late last night from another of his S Rank missions, being the head of the Hunter Division, he had certain jobs that could keep him away for months and he hadn't had as much time to calm down as his wife. He was one of the only people to combine Elemental Ninjutstu with their clan techniques, not only that but with the help of them Sandaime he had even mastered all 5 forms of elemental manipulation. All of which he was able to blend perfectly into any of the clan jutsus that he had mastered, he even came up with several new ways for clansmen and women to fight with their ninken partners. Being able to cover all sorts of ranges and scenarios that many simply weren't capable of before now, who would expect a large dog to spit out Suiton or Katon Jutsus? And the best part was that none of them could be copied or picked apart as they didn't require hand seals for the most part, just pure elemental and shape manipulation were needed. Okami was always a pleasant if intense person at times, and like all Inuzukas valued family highly, but one of the things that always enraged Okami was the thought of anyone hurting a child. Which was one of the reasons why when he became Clan Head, he made it a policy that anyone in the Academy was to be trained into the ground to ensure their survival later on. Something that attracted Tsume to him almost instantly, she had always wanted a strong pack leader, but also one who would happily die just to protect the pups, something that garnered much respect from the others in the clan as well. So for most of the meeting had been squeezing his poor wife's hand as he silently snarled at what the Sandaime had told the council, he was overjoyed when he heard that the men that were found were slaughtered, but that quickly changed when he heard that one escaped.
As the Inuzuka Clan Head was trying to contain his rage Fugaku stood up to speak. "Hokage-sama is there any chance that this person may be the same serial rapist that we've been tracking for months?" he asked with a very grim look on his face.
Looking over to him Hiruzen replied, "Why yes Fugaku-san, now that you mention it there is a possible chance that they are one and the same. I hadn't thought of that, thankyou, because it certainly does match that bastard's M.O. Hmmmmmm, stop by my office later this evening with whatever files you have from your investigation, we'll compare notes to what was found last night." he said glad that Fugaku had pointed that out, that particular nuisance had been escaping and eluding capture for several months now, who knows they just might be able to nail him.
As Okami was watching the exchange he had to admit that Fugaku did make a valid point, if that serial rapist was involved, then he might actually be even more clever than they previously thought. Which would make him that much more of a threat because he was obviously a shinobi, it wasn't just civilians he had targeted. He had targeted plenty of Kunoichi and even some of the younger male Shinobi, usually freshly minted Chunins, meaning he was definitely smart and powerful enough to take his prefered prey and elude capture. As Okami was thinking about this his nose caught something very faint in the air, curious he lightly sniffed the air before he froze. "These are male hormones...and…..i can faintly smell male semen! What?! Hmmmm it's very fresh to *sniff *sniff…..Fugaku?" he thought as he glanced over at Fugaku who had already sat back down. "Why would he be giving off hormones right now of all times? And what's worse, what could he possibly be thinking about that would cause him have pre-ejaculate in his pants?" He silently wondered as he continued to listen to what the Sandaime had to say, "I'll inform Hiruzen about this later, for all i know he could just be thinking about his wife or something." he thought as he focussed his attention back on the Hokage.
Hiruzen then picked up where he left off, "Yes while we can't identify the missing assailant at this time that is not all that was found, it was confirmed that Naruto was apparently saved by at least 2 high level shinobi. They slaughtered all of them in under a minute judging from where all of the bodies were lying, and we know for sure that they took Naruto with them. Whether or not Naruto is alive is unknown at this time, the only other thing that they found was something that Hiashi-san and one of his clansmen Ko noticed. Not only was then entire clearing saturated in Naruto's and the Kyuubi's residual chakra, but there was a third demonic chakra source there as well, one that appeared to be just as old if not older than even the Kyuubi's chakra." he finished as he finally sat back down.
The entire room was speechless at after that last bit of information was revealed, the civilians present couldn't comprehend how anything could be older than the Kyuubi, let alone any of the other Bijuu because even they knew that the Bijuu were ancient. The Shinobi Council however were all collectively shitting bricks, anything that was as old or even older than any of the Bijuu can NOT be good.
As the councilmen and women were talking to one another about what could possibly be that old besides another Bijuu, Danzo decided to speak up. "What shall happen now Hiruzen?" he simply asked, a very plain question that was to the point. He was one of the few who could even get away with addressing Hiruzen by his name, let alone dare to try, sensing that there was more to this meeting he wanted to know what his old friend and rival would do.
"I'm glad you asked Danzo because as of this moment this village is going to be under Martial Law." Hiruzen said as he stood back up and allowed his KI to flare once again. " All rights be they civilian or shinobi are hereby suspended till further notice, no one shall be allowed in or out of the village, and a village wide curfew is going to be in effect as of tonight. All those who are found breaking any of the rules are going to be punished swiftly and severely, the families of those responsible for what has happened to Naruto Uzumaki are to be detained and interrogated by any and all means necessary. The houses and dwellings of those families are going to searched top to bottom for any and all possible evidence that might be incriminating, all Clan privileges are also suspended till further notice. ANYONE who does not comply completely or even attempts to get in the way will be summarily executed where they stand, this village has steadily grown cancerous, and I will stamp it out once and for all." having finished his declaration he flooded the Council Room, the building, and the entire village with his Killing Intent. "Are there any objections?" he quarried already knowing the answer, taking their silence as a 'no' he swiftly left the council room and headed to his office.
As Hiruzen arrived at his office his Danzo, Koharu, Homura, Jounin Commander Shikaku Nara and his ANBU Commander Ryu were already there waiting for him along with a tall man with spiky white hair, what appeared to be kabuki attire, and a horned headband with the kanji for 'Oil' on it.
"It's good that you two are already here, and it's good to see you again so soon Jaraiya-kun, I can't tell you how sorry I am that we need to meet under such circumstances."
"Save it old man right now we got more important things to do….it's good to see you too sensei." the now identified Jaraiya said, a very uncharacteristic grim look on his normally jovial face.
"Ahem, Hokage-sama if I may" Shikaku interjected.
"Yes of course, to business then." Hiruzen said.
"Ok from what the scouts have said they were able to pick up the scent again farther west where the river ends, and from there it continued west into northern River Country." Shikaku said as he laid down a map of the elemental nations on Hiruzen's desk. "But that was all our trackers were able to find as by that time the the scent had almost completely died out, one of them threw down some powerful stink pellets near the border, the whole place smelled like Tobasco suace. And now we don't know if the people who saved Naruto went North into Rain Country, or headed South through River Country…...hell for all we know they could even be heading into Wind Country."
"Do you think they would have gone to a base somewhere? I don't think they could have been shinobi from Suna, they rarely come into Fire Country for anything other than the Chunin Exams." Koharu said.
"Yes we took that into consideration but it's very unlikely, from past and recent reports on their movements they almost never go past River Country, and if they have to pass through Fire Country for whatever reason they have always made sure to let us know." Koharu said.
"I agree with with Koharu-chan" said Ryu chiming in for the first time. "Suna wouldn't do anything to upset the alliance seeing how they are still recovering from their latest problems with the Shukaku no Tanuki. The Kazekage was forced to seal it into his own unborn son, the process took the life of Rasa's wife Karura-san. From what my spies have told me they have seen almost all the Suna shinobi forces recalled, it wasn't Suna that much is certain."
As the others took in what Ryu had said Homura spoke up " What about Rain? Nobody has heard much from them in a long time and of all the other villages they are the only Minor Village that is in any position to become one of the Major Shinobi Villages. A Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi who possibly is trained by Hanzo of all people, using hisSalamander Summons? That would be all they needed to be able become one of 'the Big Five'."
At this Jaraiya shuddered "Now that's a scary thought, that man gave me, Tsunade, and Oro-teme our titles after he gave us an ass whooping. He's the only one who ever could go toe-to-toe with sensei, but if he trained any Jinchuuriki in his techniques…." his voice trailed off as he didn't really want to finish that thought out.
It was at this point that Hiruzen spoke up "You make a good point Homura but Hanzo wouldn't risk stealing a Jinchuuriki from a major village, but if a Bijuu had broken free then he would almost certainly be the first one there to nab it. He knows very well that at that point, its a free-for-all on who gets the Bijuu, besides Rain doesn't venture out of their borders unless they're going into Grass, Claw, or River Country."
"So the question stands…..where is Naruto?" Hiruzen asked as he took a long drag on his pipe.
Hidden Akatsuki Base in River Country(in a galaxy far far away)
As Naruto opened his eyes the first thing he saw was a dark grey stony ceiling, blinking away some of his sleepiness he sat up and first looked at himself. He was wearing a white shirt that was obviously too big for him and upon further inspection he had a crude grey pair of shorts on that fit him just fine, the second thing he noticed about himself was that he was covered in bandages. As he started lightly touching himself all over to make sure he was okay he noticed that he actually felt pretty good, more than good, he couldn't describe it but as he became more awake and his mind became sharper, he felt great! Looking at his left arm he saw that there was some kind of needle stuck in his arm that was held down by the bandages, attached to the needle was a clear tube that led to a clear plastic bag that was hanging next to his bed. Looking more closely he could see that the bag was half full of some type of clear liquid, "Ohhhhh I think I saw that at the Hospital once…..yeah the nurse there said it was called a...ummmmmm an IP! Yeah that's what it is, it's supposed to do something to help sick people!" With that thought in mind he started to look around at the room that he was in, there wasn't much to look at because of how little there was inside, but he did see a dresser and a desk. Getting out of his bed he took a look at the needle in his arm and decided to take it out since he felt fine, besides Kura-chan had said she'd make sure that he would be completely fine by the time he woke up. Slowly taking the needle out of his arm, he briefly shuddered at the alien feeling of the needle leaving his arm, after placing it on the desk he made his way out of the room. Finding himself in fairly well lit hallway he decided to just wing it and went left, as he walked barefoot through the long hallway he began to wonder where we could possibly be. Coming to some stairs he made his way down them into what appeared to be a very plain kitchen with a table and a few chairs, looking around his stomach started to growl. Deciding on his next course of action he began to rummage through the different cabinets for anything, as he was looking something big and metallic crashed into the ground next to him. With a scream he jumped back hitting something large and very solid, as he looked at what it was that scared him he saw that it was some kind of weapon. It was long and had not one but three red blades sticking out of the end that almost hit him, easily the scariest thing he'd seen so far, as he looked at the weapon he saw that it was being held at the other end by a very beautiful woman. This woman had long shapely legs with nice wide hips and a thin and toned waist, her breasts were large and covered in bandages similar to the ones he had on under his shirt. He saw that she had a very elegant and beautiful face with silvery white hair, her eyes were even this really awesome shade of dark purple!
As Naruto looked at her he couldn't help but blush at the beautiful woman before stuttering out "T...T-Tenshi…" realizing what he just said out loud Naruto quickly covered his traitorous mouth with his hands before anything else slipped out, his face easily telling the woman of his embarrassment.
This got the woman to laugh out loud for a bit "Ha! Kakuzu check it out, the gaki thinks I'm an angel! Awwwww that's so cute, but there's something you should know little boy…." she said as she easily ripped her large weapon out of the ground and got really close to the young boy's face, causing him to blush like a tomato.
"A-And...wh-what's that?" he asked as she leaned in close to whisper in his ear.
"If I'm an angel…" she said into his ear. "Then I'm an angel from HELL!" she finished while screaming out that last part, causing Naruto to shake in fear till he heard a very deep and very gruff, almost cruel sounding voice speak from behind him.
"Hitome as amusing as it is to watch you scare little children, it won't do for you to scare this one to death, we need him alive remember?"
As Naruto slowly turned around he realized that not was it this particular man that he bumped into, but he was easily the scariest person he had ever seen in his life. This man was very tall and had muscles that looked like they had been carved out of rock, he wore no shirt revealing that he was covered in stitches and scars like some kind of ragdoll, he even had stitches on the sides of his mouth! The scariest thing about him were his eyes, the whites of his eyes were a bloodshot red and he had pale pupiless green eyes that seemed to just bore down into him. With a yelp he immediately scurried to some relative safety behind Hitome's legs where he peaked out from around them at the tall man, his tail being tucked away between his legs.
"Jashin dammit Kakuzu! How the hell is it that you barely have to do anything just to scare the kid?!" asked a ticked off Hitome, the fact that the kid was now hiding behind her of all people for safety just added salt to the wound.
Kakuzu snorted not giving her a response as he was still annoyed with her for using up all of the hot water, looking at Naruto he thought to himself "So this is the brat we have to look after huh? Tch, well I can't say this is off to a good start all things considered, at least he didn't wet himself or anything." As he was doing his best to ignore his partner who was now screaming at him for ignoring her, something clicked in his mind as he thought about the boy, in particular his name. "Wait….Orochimaru said that this boy's name was Naruto Uzumaki…..could it be? Hmmmm if he is an actual descendant of the Uzumaki Clan then he's probably the last one alive, huh, never thought I'd see another one alive again."
Looking back to his partner who had finally stopped ranting had settled for glaring daggers at him, he decided to get even for the cold ass shower he had to take. "Hmm? Did you say something?" he asked enjoying the look of absolute rage on Hitome's face.
Somewhere in Konoha
A certain Anbu with gravity defying silver hair was about to report to HQ on his mission to Snow Country when he stopped, and very violently sneezed. Feeling an odd mixture happiness and abject horror for some unknown reason, like something precious of his had been profoundly corrupted.
Back in the Hideout
After hearing this Naruto couldn't help it and started laughing at Hitome's expense, as he lightly rolled around on the ground by her feet, Kakuzu couldn't help the smirk that came over his face. This was just toooooo goooooood, who knows maybe having the brat around will be worth his while after all? If it will give him chances like these at least, it'll help pass the time to egg on Hitome.
"Hey boy! Quit trying to hide behind me, I'm not your mommy!" Hitomi yelled.
Nartuto stiffened as he had always been sensitive over that "Y-yeah well what do you want me to do?! I need to hide behind something from that ogre and you're it! Even if you aren't that tall!" he yelled back, still hiding behind her legs.
"WHAT?! You calling me short? I'm a fully grown woman, I'm supposed to be this big you bite sized midget!"
"Hey you take that back, I'm only this small because I ain't grown up yet, what's your excuse?!" came and indignant reply from Naruto.
"WHY YOU!" as Hitome went to grab Naruto by his ears, Naruto promptly bit her in the leg getting her to yelp and jump back.
"OW that hurt you little savage!"
"That's what you get!"
As Kakuzu watched their antics unfold before him he could only watch in a mixture of horror and irritation, for one they were both grating on his last nerves. And for another the two of them were so damn similar, if he didn't know any better he would have sworn they were mother and son. Deciding to put an end to this he stepped in and grabbed them both by the back of their necks and slammed their heads together, resulting in a very satisfying 'bonk'.
Seeing that he had their attention he spoke "Listen boy I know you must have a lot of questions so sit down at the table and shut up, you too Hitome. I'll make some breakfast and fill you in on what's going to happen." with that said he turned on his heel and went to the cabinets and began retrieving various items.
Getting the feeling that he should do as he's told Naruto quickly sat down in one of the chairs that was there while Hitome did likewise, as Naruto looked at the both of them he couldn't help but ask. "Sooooo ummmmm who are you two? N-not that I'm not thankful or nothing, but who are you guys?"
Snorting Kakuzu looked over from the simple omelets he was making "Well that didn't last long, and the name's Kakuzu gaki, that she-bitch sitting next you is called Hitome."
"Fuck you Kakuzu!"
"Ummmm Hitome-san… what's a bitch?" Naruto asked confusedly.
" That's what you call a woman who annoys the hell out of you and won't shut up…." chuckled Kakuzu.
"Oi! Fuck you Kakuzu!" came Hitome's indignant retort.
"ANYWAYS" Kakuzu said powering through whatever the other two might have said. "That's our names, but who we are is another matter entirely seeing how we're the ones who rescued you from those men the other night."
As Naruto immediately sobered up he looked from Hitome to Kakuzu as again he was flooded by the images of what had happened to him, so these were the people that saved him? So what was going to happen now?
"What happened?" he asked.
"We killed them all except for their leader Fugaku, he escaped, but don't worry he'll get his soon enough." Hitome said suddenly serious.
"What's going to happen now is that we're going to be taking care of you from now on, we are apart of a very special group of ninja called the Akatsuki." Kakuzu carefully said, trying to keep in mind that he was still talking to a 5 year old child. "We know how special you really are and for now we need to keep you alive, and in the meantime we're going to train you to be like us."
"Ak…..Akopski?" Naruto asked not fully understanding the word.
"No, Akatsuki...it's the name of our ninja group. We don't work for only one village and we move around a lot, you're going to learn from some of the very best gaki, so don't let us down." Hitome said.
"O...okay...but how am I alright?" Naruto asked
"Hmmmm I take it you're referring to your arms and legs yes?" Kakuzu asked receiving a nod. "Sigh, very well but first let's start with what you are first, there's no real easy way to say it so I'll just be upfront with you. Naruto you are what is known as a Hanyou, or a half-demon, it's why you look the way that you do." Kakuzu said while he studied Naruto's reaction. It was fairly close to what he figured it would be, as soon as he finished speaking Naruto's ears drooped down low to the sides of his head, and his eyes started to tear up.
"S…..S….So….th-the things….that those mean men said to me….th...they were true?" Naruto asked looking back up at Kakuzu and Hitome, tears now steadily falling down his face. He didn't want to believe that he really was a demon, he hadn't done anything bad ever, but….somehow he knew that it was true. All he has to do is just look in a mirror anyways, and that will tell him all he needs to know, he's not like everyone else, he's not human.
"So…...w-what happens now?" he simply asked, still not sure of his fate or what they might do to him.
Hitome then spoke up "We're going to make you strong Naruto, so that way you'll never be weak or helpless ever again. When we're done with you, you're going to be able to show the world what a real demon looks like so don't be sad or ashamed. Hell in my religion we celebrate and love demons and Hanyous, so be proud of what you are, cause it's damn better than being like all the others. And if you want in a couple of years I can teach you all about the glorious ways of Jashin!" she said with a crazed happy smile, internally she was thinking to herself. "Perfect! I can't believe I lucked out in finding one, with all the training we're going to be doing he's guaranteed to trust us, and the best part is if I play my cards right I'll have a pupil to the ways of Jashin! Ohhhhh I can't wait to take him to his first sacrificial murder! I'll be able to teach him how to use blood as a weapon, how to use curse jutsus, the birds and the bees, ohhhhhhh it's going to be so much fun!" she thought to herself as she looked at a now confused but somewhat excited Naruto, who now seemed to be calming down a little, as she looked at how the boy was acting she noticed something that didn't seem right. Now for all of Hitome's crazy she knew everything from torture to even basic psychology, something that she used whenever she was going to be torturing some poor bastard to fuck with their heads, and if there's one thing she knew, it was that trauma victims like Naruto are never this 'together' or 'well'.
Something was off, and what better way to find out than to make the brat tell her? Sitting up in her chair she asked "Hey Naruto, how about you tell us why you ain't crying your eyes out, huh? We know you went through some pretty bad shit the other day, but you just woke up, you shouldn't be able to even speak, let alone this well." she said as she quickly shot a look to Kakuzu, nodding he then chimed in as he set a plate of food down for each of them.
"Yes, I was wondering the same thing, you speak very well for a five year old orphan…...especially one who just went through something that traumatic." Kakuzu said narrowing his eyes at the young boy. "Anything you want to tell us?" He asked in tone that promised pain if he didn't like what he heard.
Looking from one to the other and seeing that he wouldn't be able to keep this a secret from them, he figured it'd be best to come clean with them.
*gulp* "O….Okay but could I eat first and have some water? It's gonna take a while to tell you both." he said as his stomach let out a loud growl, much to Naruto's embarrassment.
"Fine" Kakuzu said figuring that whatever it is could wait till after the kid ate, not like the gaki is even capable of concentrating while hungry anyways. As they all ate there was a subtle quiet tension in the room, as Hitome and Kakuzu silently looked at each other as if sharing conversation. It wasn't normal for either of them to be this accommodating for anyone at all, and it was already starting to get on their nerves, but given what had transpired the past few days they supposed they could cut the kid some slack. They're still marveling over how well the boy seems to be holding up, and it wouldn't really do for either of them to send the gaki spiralling down into some sort of depression and clam up, at this point they knew that he was definitely at his most fragile and what happens next could make or break him.
As they finished eating Kakuzu looked over as if to speak before Naruto cut him of, "I know Kakuzu-san, I know." said Naruto as he took a deep gulp from his glass. "I guess I should start from the beginning then right?" He asked getting a nod from both of the adults. "Okay then….I…..I know everything it is that they did to me…" he said with a shudder. "I wanted the darkness to just take me, i wanted to shut my eyes and go to sleep so bad, just so I wouldn't have to deal with it." *sniff* "They stuck some kind of needle in my neck saying that 'it would keep me awake', it worked…..cause I remember everything. I remember how they cut me, how they burned me with fire, they…..they cut my arms and legs off." Taking several moments to breath and to steady himself, just like Kura-chan had told him to do, he quickly drank some more water before speaking. "They even cut my penis off too….." he said quietly almost to himself, as he saw they grim looks on both adults faces looked slightly shocked at the news. "While they were cutting p-p-parts of me awa-away…..this red chakra came out of my tummy and started to help me." This particular bit caught Kakuzu's and Hitome's interest, not only did he know what the Kyuubi's chakra was doing for him, he even knew what chakra was to begin with…..a five year old.
"Pretty soon they started to do…..other things...to me….i can still taste and feel them…." Naruto said as tears started to leak out from the corners of his eyes, his ears now drooped flat against his head.
Now even Hitome was starting to really feel for the gaki, as a woman she knew all about what fates that all women feared, especially kunoichi, she knew what it was like to be taken advantage of too. That was ultimately how she ended up being found and saved in the wilds of Iron Country by the High Priest of Jashin, reaching out across the table she tried to comfort the boy by rubbing his shoulder. It didn't have the desired effect as he violently ripped his shoulder away from her yelling, "D-DON'T TOUCH ME!" His voice having taken on a highly demonic tone as began to ball right there in front of them, as this was going on Hitome went around the table to where Naruto was sitting. What happened next surprised Kakuzu completely as Hitome then did something that was completely out of character for her, she hugged Naruto, wrapping him up in her arms so he could cry in her bosom she simply held onto him. Freezing at first not knowing what she was going to do, he eventually eased himself further into her chest and cried for several minutes, as this was going on Kakuzu was seeing Hitome in a different light altogether. Figuring that she must have experienced something similar in the past, he decided to let the two of them have their moment, besides it wasn't like there was much he could do anyhow.
As was busy getting it out of his system Hitome was currently at war with herself, as all of this was bringing back a lot of old memories from her past, before she found Jashin and became immortal. "UGH! What the hell is wrong with me?! I'm supposed to be a hard core bitch with attitude, not hugging some demonic gaki like I'm his mommy! Jashin dammit, this is not good for my image, I just know Kakuzu is going to give me grief over this later…..why the fuck does this kid need to be so Jashin damned cute!?" While this was going on Hitome noticed that Naruto seemed to have calmed down quite a bit, slowly letting go, she noticed a hesitance in Naruto to let go of her. "Awwwww I guess he likes my hugs….No! Bad Hitome bad, hard core bitch!"
As Naruto sniffled and wiped the remaining tears from his eyes, "Thanks, i really needed that." he quietly said.
"No problem gaki, just don't expect too many of those okay? Can't let people think I've gone soft."
"O...okay…." as Naruto steadied himself he thought back to the last thing he say before he blacked out. "I think I remember seeing you two before I…" he seemed to briefly struggle as if trying to find the word he was looking for. "...blacked out." he finished as he looked at them both. "What happened next was I woke up somewhere else, and I'm not talking about here." he said as he began to explain to them where he woke up, and how he first met the Kyuubi, even going as far as to tell the two of them that her name was Kurama. And about what happened when he woke up next to the Kyuubi again….
Flashback
Kurama had been taking care of Naruto for several hours now, the kit having spent most of the time crying till he had finally cried himself to sleep. As she watched over the kit she couldn't help but marvel at how cute and innocent he looked, and as he slept, how peaceful he appeared. She knew however that the poor boy was anything but 'at peace', and that the kit would most likely feel the scars of that night for quite a few years still. As Naruto began to stir from his nap he slowly opened his eyes, the first sight to greet him being the Kyuubi, whom he couldn't help but feel safe with. He couldn't find the words to describe it yet, but somehow he just knew that the Kyuubi-no…..that Kura-chan would never hurt him, he could see it in her eyes. And at that moment that silent promise of safety and protection that her eyes held, meant more to him than he could ever describe.
"Hey Naru-kun" Kurama soothed. "Did you enjoy your nap?"
"Yeah" he yawned out cutely as he rubbed his eyes and scratched his ears, a habit he'd had for some years now.
"You feel better now?" she asked as she softly nuzzled his side, getting him to giggle.
"Hahaha! Yeah I feel better now Kura-chan, ummmmmm Kura-chan?" he asked a little uncertainly.
"Yes?"
"Well what's going to happen now? What do I do? And….where am I?" he asked.
"That's simple Naruto-kun, you're going to stay here with me for a little while, this place is called your 'Mindscape', it's a very special place inside of your mind that you can go into. Right now I can't leave it so I'll be with you for a very long time unless you find a safe way to let me out, and while you're here I'll start teaching you as much as I can alright?" Kurama said as she fixed her eyes on Naruto.
"REALLY?!" he asked excitedly, happy that he'd get to spend more time with his new friend, and happy that they had a cool place that they could meet.
"Yes Naruto-kun, but you should know that you can come in here whenever you want, but it'll be best if you do it when you go to sleep at night. Also you should know that you can make this place look like whatever you want it to alright?" she asked amusedly as Naruto was starting to twitch and wiggle with barely restrained glee, his tail actually wagging side to side. "KAWAAIIII, such a cuuuute little thing!" she thought to herself.
"So I can make this place look like whatever I want?" he asked receiving a nod.
"Like a big castle? Or some place with lots of grass and mountains?" again receiving a nod to both.
"Ummmm quick question what is this place right now and there those large…'things' over there?" he asked pointing to the cage doors.
"Oh, that's just what keeps me locked in here, I'll tell you more about that later when you're older. But for now try to change up your mindscape." Kurama quickly answered not wanting to answer too many questions all at once.
"Okay soooooooo….how do I do that?" he asked causing Kurama to sweatdrop, in hindsight she probably should have covered that when she mentioned it.
Mentally slapping herself she spoke "What you do is you concentrate as hard as you can and-" but before she could finish with her explanation everything around them changed almost in an instant, as she looked around what she saw made her jaw drop. Because instead of being in a sewer of sorts with a large set of cage doors, they were now in a very sunny grassy plain with rolling hills, she could see a large river not too far away and many mountains in the distance in every direction. Quickly looking around she could honestly say that she was shocked, most full grown adults are incapable of making any changes to their mindscapes, when they have one at all that is, let alone doing something on this scale….ON THEIR FIRST TRY! As she was busy looking around for the life of her she couldn't find the cage doors or the seal holding her ANYWHERE, it wasn't until she felt something swinging around on her neck that she stopped to inspect it. It appeared to be a necklace of some kind that hung low enough off of her neck for her to easily grab it. It was a simple gold heart-shaped locket on a gold chain, when she opened it up it had a picture of Naruto on one side and the seal itself on the other side.
Looking back at Naruto who was now shyly sitting on the grass with his tail wrapped around him, he asked "Do…..Do you like it?" he asked hopefully.
At this Kurama suddenly felt a lump form in her throat as she stared at the boy, did she really mean this much to him? "He doesn't even know the significance of what he's done, he isn't just giving me a gift. He's trusting me with his own life and asking for my hand in marriage!" she thought to herself as she started to blush deeply, marriage being something she hadn't even thought about in several hundred years.
Noticing that Naruto was still waiting for an answer she quickly nodded so he wouldn't get the wrong idea, she'd tell him about the significance of his gift when he's older. "Yes….yes I do, I like it alot. I just wasn't expecting you to be so sweet is all." she said honestly causing Naruto to jump for joy. "Still so innocent after all of that…" she mused to herself, as she watched the kit she quickly remembered something else about the mindscape that Naruto would need to know.
"Ahem Naru-kun," she said getting his attention. "There's one final thing about this place that I forget to tell you about, time here passes differently from the real world outside." she said getting what was getting to become his patented look of confusion, with his left ear down and his head tilted to that side.
"What I mean is when you wake up and you are in the real world everything is normal, but here time goes by much more slowly. Every hour you spend out there in the real world is as long as a full day here in the Mindscape, it can even be longer. You could spend anywhere from 6 to 8 days in here every night you go to sleep, or even a couple of months if you wished." she said as Naruto looked at her with wide eyes, that was in deed a long time.
2 months later
The last few months had gone by fast for the both of them, Kurama had done her best to help the poor kit to keep him from becoming withdrawn and receding into himself. The sheer trauma from what he went through is almost surely going to have lasting effects on him for the rest of his life, no matter how much treatment and help he may receive, and no matter what he may do to forget about what happened, the damage was still done. Kurama knew that with such a level of damage even if Naruto had someone from that Yamanaka Clan wipe his memories, it would only make things worse because he would still suffer from what had happened to him, he just wouldn't know WHY. The only way for Kurama to help Naruto recover from his torture and rape would be to help him face it and explain everything to him, so that way he could have some measure of peace in knowing just WHY it happened to him. Needless to say the immortal demoness had her work cut out for her in trying to explain all of this to the kit, a five year old no less, but luck was on her side it seemed. Something that the demoness hadn't expected was just how smart Naruto was, he seemed to be learning and understanding what he was told at an alarming rate and seemed to have as many questions as there were stars in the sky. So Kurama did what she could, she smothered the kit with as much affection and encouragement and love as she possibly could, and as time passed Naruto truly began to understand what had happened and all of the reasons why, how he ended up with Kurama sealed inside of him, why all the others hated him, and why he looked so different. With the hard part of explaining all of this to a severely traumatized five year old finally out of the way, something that took just under 3 weeks to do, Kurama could breath a little easier. She knew that now Naruto had come to terms with everything that he would still be fragile, he would be in a state that can either make or break him completely for a while. All she could do was hope that the kit was at least given a chance to heal, so after Naruto woke up from one of his naps she began to teach him what she could, starting with who and what he was. After covering that she began to teach him what she could about reading and writing, what chakra was, what chakra is made out of, and what she could remember about the boy's parents. Something that made Naruto eternally grateful…..
Thanks to Naruto being a Hanyou he would always be different from the rest, he would naturally possess the strength and speed that most humans could never match, with chakra coils that that had been strengthened to handle his already large chakra reserves. He may be five years old but he has more chakra than at least 5 average Jounin, and that was before that stranger gave him that extra heart, which only added to his reserves. Even his natural healing was increased, he would have had an advanced regeneration ability being Kurama's Jinchuuriki but somehow that had also become a natural facet about his body. She honestly didn't know if that was because of what happened when Naruto was only a few days old or because of their mystery hero, and that was another thing that she had been trying to figure out when Naruto was sleeping. She had been pouring over all that she could find out about Naruto's entire body and whatever this THING was seemed to be similar to a symbiote, as it was doing it's best to keep Naruto's body alive. It had somehow…'become one' with almost every facet of Naruto's body, and was to some extent sentient as she had even confirmed that it actually 'recognised' that she was even there. It had even probed and prodded at HER! Almost as if trying to gauge for itself if SHE was a threat to it's host, Kurama was about to start trying to purge the symbiote from Naruto's body when she noticed what it had been doing all along. Not only had it been helping her youki circulate throughout Naruto's chakra system, to put it to use as efficiently as possible, by steadily increasing the size of his coils, and strengthening them….it was even changing the very nature of Naruto's chakra. As Kuram further inspected Naruto's chakra throughout their time together she noticed that was beginning to change into something very close to her own youki, it would never be true demonic youki but it would certainly be unique whenever the change was complete. As Kurama kept an eye on Naruto she began to notice that he was starting to make vast improvements as time went on, he was even starting to become smarter, as she looked through his mind she discovered what the cause was. The symbiote had apparently sensed it's host's stress and emotional pain, whenever Naruto was asleep it would try to 'ease' Naruto's pain, and had been slowly influencing the kit's mind from the very beginning. Trying to get Naruto to accept what had happened to him, to know that he had nothing to fear, and to move on. When Kurama saw this the symbiote noticed her, stretching out a mental hand to the demoness it briefly conveyed a feeling of gratitude, as if to say 'thanks'. Before it left Kurama to resume it's work on repairing and strengthening Naruto's fragile mind, it conveyed the knowledge to call it Jiongu. Now knowing for herself that Naruto would be alright(more or less), Kurama started to really lay into Naruto with his lessons, the boy was already good at speaking thanks to that human woman Jihi-san, but by the time she was done with Naruto, he'd be as smart as any eight year old.
As the lessons winded down for their final day together Naruto and Kurama were both lying down and chatting when Naruto suddenly had a question "Kura-chan?"
"Yes Naruto-kun?"
"You told me about a lot of the things you could do, sooooooo can you make a body like mine? You know, a human one?"
"Oh, and what brought this up?" Kurama asked curiously.
"Weeeeelllllll I was thinking that it must be annoying going around as big as a mountain all the time, and that you might like to talk to others every now and then, so I thought you might be able to change into something smaller to look like everyone else. And plus I…...reallythinkyou'dlookbeatifultooKura-chan." he said finishing with a blush.
"Awwwwww is that so?" Kurama teased causing the kit to blush even more. "This kid is just too damn cute sometimes I swear…" she thought to herself. Remembering that last human form she took she decided it'd be fun. "Okay Naruto-kun just stand still for a moment, I haven't done this in a while." And with that the mountainous demoness began to shrink at an alarming rate, her fur quickly receded as all but one of her tails disappeared. Her body began to change almost as fast as she shrank, taking the form of a woman, when Kurama was finally done turned around so that Naruto could see her. She was now 5'10" with a perfect hourglass figure, she had fairly large DD cup breasts, and wide hips with a very plump rear. Her hair was long and crimson flowing down just past her ass, she had a gorgeous heart shaped face with high cheekbones and red pouty lips. Her eyes were the same as Naruto's and like him she had a single fox tail swaying behind her, there was just one problem…...she….. was…. completely…..naked.
Naruto's eyes became as wide as dinner plates as he saw what was the most beautiful creature to ever exist, as he took in her nude form he began to blush till blood had completely filled his face. As he invented several new shades of red, blood promptly gushed out of his nose causing him to faint on the spot. As the worried demoness started to check on the boy, cursing herself for forgetting to make sure she had some clothes on when she transformed, she heard Naruto say two words.
"T...Tenshi….beautiful…"he said in his sleep causing Kurama to blush, very much appreciating the comment she gave him a little kiss on the cheek for it. As she held the passed out kit in her arms she silently hoped that this little incident didn't come back to haunt her, Kami forbid if this turned him into a pervert or something. Ohhhhhh if only she knew…
End of flashback
As Naruto finished telling Kakuzu and Hitome what had been going on the two Akatsuki once again floored, honestly the only reason they were buying it was due to the fact that Naruto was a Hanyou to begin with. As they were mulling over what Naruto had told them they both came to the same conclusion that they would have to update Pein and the others ASAP, they would certainly need to know that Naruto was already in contact with his Bijuu. Who apparently was female and was most likely very close to the boy, resolving to deal with that later they focussed on something else that he had told them. Time flows much more slowly in his mindscape…...that could make their jobs of teaching him and looking after him much easier in the long run, they could have they Kyuubi go over what they taught him during the day whenever he goes to sleep, and still receive separate lessons from 'Kurama-chan' every night. If all goes well they will be able to move on to more advanced things very soon, they would just have to make sure the Kyuubi gets on board with it as well as make sure that it doesn't figure out any of their organization's true goals. It would be very tricky to say the least, the Bijuu are all several thousand years old at least, and have immeasurable amounts of experience and knowledge to draw upon, they would have to be careful at all times.
"Hmmmmm, judging from his behavior" Kakuzu thought to himself. " He will most likely respond the best to women thanks to what he's been through, I doubt if he'll ever feel comfortable around other men ever again. Understandable all things considered, so the best course of action will be to let the Kyuubi and Hitome handle most of his lessons for right now, maybe even see if we can get Konan to pitch in every now and then. That would certainly allow us to go out and do missions while somebody watches the boy, and it would give him someone else to open up to and trust. It's obvious that he's still fragile right now but I think…..that the worst might be close to being behind him if he really spent that much time in his mindscape."
Quickly coming to a decision Kakuzu spoke " Alright Naruto here's what is going to happen, for now we're going to teach you the basic things you need to know such as reading and writing, and improving your vocabulary whenever we can. We'll also teach you mathematics and basic survival skills while we're here, and when you go to sleep you'll have the Kyuubi go over what we taught you as well as whatever else she wants to teach you. This way you learn everything you need to know as fast as possible, it may seem boring but the faster you learn this the sooner we can start training you to be a shinobi understand?" he asked getting a very excited nod from Naruto, who was practically twitching with uncontrolled excitement.
"Good because me and Hitome can't really leave this place to take you with us on our missions until you learn the basics, we'll be giving you shinobi training while we're on mission so that way you get the most out of it, and we still get to do our jobs. So however soon we leave this base will depend on you and how fast you learn what we teach you, me and Hitome are going to go and report to the others in our group what you have told us. We might even be able to get one of them to come over here and look after you from time to time while me and Hitome go out on missions that we can't take you on, if we do, you WILL show her respect. Do I make myself clear?" he said growling out the last part, the last thing he wanted was to have to deal with Konan bitching in his ear, he already had to deal with Hitome.
Seeing that Naruto understood and was nodding in affirmative he gave a low grunt before getting up and leaving the room, after a few minutes of waiting Kakuzu came back with several items in his hands. Laying them out on the table they appeared to basic tools that every ninja would have, a belt, 60 kunai, 80 shuriken, ninja wire spools, smoke bombs, 4 kunai holsters(large enough to hold 15 kunai each), 2 large shuriken holsters that would rest on Naruto's hips(large enough to hold 40 shuriken each), 1 standard shinobi pouch and a very beautiful tanto.
As he laid the tools and weapons out for Naruto to see he looked over and told him, "These are yours now, you WILL take good care of them and you WILL NOT loose or misplace any of it. They are your responsibility now, and they are what you will learn to use while we eventually begin teaching you shinobi basics. If you hurt yourself training or playing with them then it's your own damn fault, neither one of us will go easy on you while we're training you, we don't have the time or the patience for that. So you're going to either learn fast painlessly or get hurt a lot learning everything, the choice is up to you. But rest assured you WILL learn one way or another…." he said as he finished putting the entire ensemble of gear together for Naruto.
"Here put it on and see how it fits you." Kakuzu said tossing the gear to Naruto who just caught it before it hit his head, as the boy got out of his chair and began to put it on over his clothes. It was all obviously oversized on his little body with two fully stocked kunai holsters covering up most of each leg, attached by a Y-harness rig to the belt. And a shuriken holster on each hip just above the kunai holsters, the shinobi pouch securely fastened to the belt at the middle of his back, his tanto was attached to the right of the pouch allowing him to draw from his right hand.
As Naruto was checking out how all of it fit he was doing all that he could not to yell out his excitement, sensing that him showing all of his enthusiasm wouldn't be appreciated. "Oh wow this is awesome! I wish I could show this to Kura-chan, I look so coooooool!" thought Naruto as he happily checked out all of his new gear. "Well how do I look?" he asked as he struck a ridiculous pose.
"Close to what we were imagining…" Kakuzu said.
"Awesome?" Naruto asked with excitement in his eyes.
"Nope, an idiot." answered an amused Hitome causing Naruto to face plant, getting up he pouted and started grumbling about 'stupid adults' and 'them being so mean'. "So when do we start anyway?" he asked trying to change the subject.
"Now" came Kakuzu's reply. "Hitome go ahead and see what he knows for now, I need to report in to the others and let them know what's going on." Not bothering to wait for a response he simply left the two as he went to another part of the base, earning a sweatdrop from Hitome. "Wow…...he's so helpful it's like he's not doing anything at all…." she thought to herself. Looking back to Naruto who was all but jumping up and down with excitement, his ears and tail twitching with glee she simply sighed, somehow knowing full well that she was in for a very long day. "Jashin dammit…" she thought as she started to question Naruto, can't teach the gaki anything till she found out what he knew anyways.
With Kakuzu and the rest of the Akatsuki
"Hmmmmm, I must say the child seems to have a talent for constantly surprising me…" said Pein having just heard Kakuzu's report on the Jinchuuriki. "And you say that he was in his mindscape for how long with the Kyuubi?"
"A little over two months, not only that but the boy will be able to spend about 8 days in there when he goes to sleep every night. The Kyuubi is teaching and caring for the boy, I suspect that it is doing all that it can to keep Naruto from suffering a mental breakdown of some sort. With what he went through I have no doubt that if it wasn't for the Kyuubi me and Hitome would be dealing with a catatonic vegetable right now, regardless we need to be careful around the boy. Nothing that could possibly tip the Kyuubi off to our goals, and if possible I would like Konan to help out with teaching him every now and then." Kakuzu said gaining a questioning glance from those present.
"Why would you want me to help? He's your responsibility." Said Konan not seeing why she of all people should have to help with such a simple task as teaching a child.
"Because I really don't think him learning from any man let alone being near one would be a good idea, he seems to only be comfortable around women. Hell he practically sought refuge in Hitome's arms when he started to cry after having to talk about what happened to him, he most likely sees all women as a dependable source of comfort. Plus it will give him someone else besides Hitome to get to know and trust, which could help him open up more, I think what he may need the most are emotional connections with people that make him feel safe." Kakuzu explained surprising the other members of the Akatsuki with his insight, looking around he simply asked. "What?"
Orochimaru spoke first "Well well Kakuzu kukukuku, I don't think any of us were expecting you of all people to say something like that, not many people study psychology to such extents. Let alone know enough to diagnose such severe trauma." he said earning a derisive snort from his colleague.
"I'm about as close as it gets to being immortal and I've had a lot of time on my hands, what better way to pass the time than with a book? Personally I've read up on every subject that there is over the last 50 years, a man has to have some hobbies after all." replied Kakuzu once again surprising those gathered. "But enough of that there's one more thing that I want to mention, at some point in a few years I'm going to go to the boy's ancestral home of Uzushiogakure. With a bit of his blood I should be able to get in just fine and look around, I doubt I'll find anything but if I do then all the better, I was around when that village was still standing before the Second Shinobi War. If anything of value survived the village's destruction then it will most likely be something good, I'll need to do some digging though, when I do leave I'll need Hitome and Konan to look after the brat. Last thing we need is Hitome to be left alone for extended periods of time with a child, especially this one…...she'll probably try to convert him to her stupid religion." he said grumbling to himself near the end, Hitome could be annoying when she rants about her religion, one religious loon was enough thankyou.
"Hmmmm…..fine, I'll make regular visits so that way he can have someone to talk to. And when I show up you and Hitome can go out and do missions, I'll take care of the child while you two are gone." answered Konan gaining a look from most of the others gathered.
"Sheesh…..between dealing with Kakuzu and Hitome AND Konan, this kid is sooooo screwed…" thought Kisame and Sasori as the meeting ended and they began to go about their previous business.
Back with Kakuzu
As Kakuzu made his way back into the kitchen where he had left Naruto and Hitome he came upon something that he honestly wasn't expecting to find, a drunk Naruto and a tipsy Hitome trying to make a list of the things that Naruto apparently 'knew'. With multiple shot glasses surrounding them it wasn't hard to see that they were turning it into a drinking game of sorts, "Oh for the love of Kami! I leave them alone for…..twenty minutes and they're getting drunk!" Kakuzu fumed to himself, "Konan better get her ass over here soon…..otherwise I might just kill myself then THEM!" And with that thought in mind Kakuzu walked over and threw a now passed out Naruto over his shoulder and headed outside. Figuring if he was old enough to swim in booze, then it was obviously time for him to learn how to swim for real, he'd make time to chew out Hitome later….when she had a hangover.
6 Months Later
The winds were blowing through the trees at a steady pace as the sun had just started to creep up over the mountains, as dawn was shedding light over the forest canopy the blissful silence was abruptly disturbed by the sound of a man screaming in agony.
"AHHHHHHHH!" came the sound of a wounded man who was pinned to a large boulder next to a waterfall. The man in question was a B Rank Missing Nin from Kiri named Rakasa Sukamu, who had fled his village after attempting to steal one of their legendary swords, the Nuibari. He had then gone ahead and decided to attack and slaughter traveling merchants, stealing all of their goods to sell on the black market, even started creating a bandit crew of over a hundred men. And was also wanted in for at least a dozen counts of rape in the lands of Marsh, Sky, Wolf, Bird, and Forest, and now he found himself at the mercy of two shinobi clad in black trenchcoats with red clouds and a…...child of all things. As Rakasa looked up at his attackers he silently wondered how he had ended up in this situation, this led to him thinking back to the beginning. He and his crew had come back from a successful heist a few hours ago and had just started to really relax when shuriken and kunai had started to sail through the air around them, before anyone knew it most of them were dead. Being an experienced shinobi Rakasa knew if he stayed around he'd be dead soon too, he would only have a few seconds so he needed to make a getaway, so without even hesitating he turned and ran. He had only gotten a few dozen yards out of the camp when several shuriken peppered his legs, biting back a scream he yanked them out while he searched for the one who threw them. Not seeing anyone he simply ran not minding the blood he was steadily dripping onto the ground, he was chased all night long till he made it to this waterfall. As he was about to make the jump across that's when a pike flew through the air and nailed him to the boulder he was currently pinned to, not wanting to die he had tried to throw some kunai only to have both of his hands pinned my the blond child's kunai. The little bastard.
"Well not gonna lie gaki you did good, especially back at the camp with those shuriken." Said one of his captors, a beautiful white haired woman with a very sadistic look in her eyes.
"I have to agree with Hitome, that was smart thinking on your part making him bleed so we could track him." the other adult grudgingly agreed. This one being a very tall man who was covered head to toe revealing only his creepy ass eyes, seriously who the fuck has light red celera?
"Awwww thanks Kakuzu-sensei!" beamed the child, who was perhaps the strangest thing he had ever seen, and he had met Kisame Hoshigaki. This kid had blood red hair and eyes which were slitted, long red fox ears on top of his head and a fucking tale! Rakasa was honestly starting to wonder if he was under a genjutsu or if he was having a really bad acid trip of some kind.
"Don't get too excited brat" growled Kakuzu. "We still have work to do here, your first lesson in torture begins now." he said gaining a smirk from Hitome.
"Oh hell yeah! This is where the fun really begins for you, I've been wanting to take you to something like this for months!" chirped a bubbly Hitome as she moved Naruto closer to Rakasa.
"R-R-R-Really? Y-You want me to do that now?" asked Naruto who was quite frankly scared and nervous as hell, he had acted on pure instinct when he threw those shuriken at Rakasa back at the camp, and he hadn't thought twice about that. But this was something that he just wasn't sure about, they wanted him to do some of the same things that those men had done to him all those months ago…..
"I know why you're hesitant Naruto, but this is how it must be. This is so you won't freeze up and hesitate when later when your life is at stake," said Kakuzu not taking his eyes off of Rakasa, he normally would never be this patient, but once again he found himself cutting this kid more slack.
"Hey just remember this guy is a murderer, a traitor, and a rapist. Hell he's wanted for rape in at least 5 countries, so don't be feeling sorry or guilty Naruto." came Hitome's stern reply, for once serious.
This new bit of information got Naruto to freeze as he looked at the man in front of him, this man was a murderer, and a rapist. This man was guilty of the same thing that had been done to him, in over 5 countries! How many women did he hurt? How many women or kids like him did he force himself on?! HOW MANY?! Rakasa didn't know it yet as he sat there pinned to the boulder, a slight smirk on his face, but he was about to be put through a very special brand of hell on earth. For Naruto there was no worse thing that you could do than rape, being a rape victim himself, he naturally despised rapists. The thing is though that while he may have been tortured and raped 6 months ago, he had constantly had the constant love and support of Kurama-chan 24/7. Add onto that the fact that he went into his Mindscape to be with Kurama every night when he went to sleep, where every eight hours in there felt more like it was anywhere from a week to a month. And that during the day he was counseled by Hitome, who shockingly had confided in Naruto that she was a rape victim as well, and was able to help him get through everything that he was experiencing. Then for Naruto it was more like he had spent a year and a half trying to get over what had happened to him, he had come to terms with what had happened to him within a few days, and after a couple of months going by like this. It no longer made him freeze up, or cry, or get depressed when he thought about his rape, nowadays all it made him feel was pure…..blinding…...rage.
Naruto's eyes narrowed dangerously as he drew his tanto from his belt, it was big in his hands, but somehow that just made things feel that much more right…..Rakasa was still smirking as Naruto approached him, he was about to say something too when Naruto quickly dragged the edge of his tanto across Rakasa's mouth. Giving him a Glasgow smile similar to Kakuzu's, while Rakasa was screaming and cursing Naruto's eyes were moving all over the man's body.
"You little shit! I'm going to kill you for that you little demon!" Rakasa roared through the pain he felt, as blood quickly began to fill his mouth.
"Ohhhhhh that was the wrong thing to say…." chuckled Kakuzu knowing full well that such a comment would only anger Naruto further.
"Ha! Got that right!" commented Hitome.
Hearing the 'demon' comment Naruto's ears twitched before he brought the tanto point first down into Rakasa's right leg, just above the kneecap, where he started to twist the blade in slow circles. Ignoring Rakasa's screams of pain Naruto proceeded to do this to the other leg before he brought the tanto under his legs and sliced both sets of hamstrings. Rakasa could only scream louder after that, not paying attention to what was going on around him as this little boy was carving his legs like a cooked turkey, with his eyes shut he wasn't aware of what was coming next. By the time Rakasa finally opened his eyes he could see that Naruto had taken out some ninja wire and some capsules, and was now cutting off his shirt and vest. When his upper clothing was finally gone Naruto immediately set himself on removing Rakasa of his sandles, pants, and underwear till the man was completely naked. Taking out two kunai he threaded ninja wire through the rings of the kunai before he began to tie Rakasa's legs as far apart as he could with the wire on each leg being pinned by one of Naruto's kunai knives. Stopping for a minute to admire his handy work for a second the then stabbed his tanto as slowly as he could into Rakasa's stomach, his eyes never leaving the man's face, having resolved to make the man work for death. He didn't want to miss a single minute of what Rakasa was going through, as Naruto began to slowly cut Rakasa's body targeting places like under the armpit, or the inner thigh. Naruto couldn't help but imagine every single one of his rapists' faces on Rakasa, wanting the man to suffer for what he had done. That was what stopped Naruto as he stood back to allow Rakasa a breather, on Hitome's instruction, he quickly shoved a ninja blood pill down the man's throat so he wouldn't bleed out on them. It was then that Naruto looked down at what must be Rakasa's prized possession, Naruto then got an idea….he got an awful….. wonderful….. terrible idea. Getting down in between his legs Naruto took Rakasa's limp cock in his hands and slowly began to stroke it, an action that gained very puzzled looks from Hitome and Kakuzu as they both silently wondered what Naruto was up to. Rakasa had no idea what the little demon was up to now as he felt his member start to become erect despite the pain he felt from the rest of his body, he could only watch as this little boy started to pump his cock faster as it came to full mast.
As Naruto pumped Rakasa's dick he imagined all of the faces from that night 6 months ago, what those men had done to him, had they had forced him to do….what they had taken away from him. As he heard Rakasa moan he could feel the man's cock start to twitch in his hands, "Just a couple of more seconds…" he thought to himself as Rakasa's orgasm approached.
"Ohhh KAMI!" moaned Rakasa just as he was about to fire his load, not knowing or caring about what might happen next.
Hearing those words Naruto quickly picked his tanto off the ground with his right hand while letting go of Rakasa's cock in his left hand, as the first blast of semen shot out on Rakasa's stomach and abdomen, Naruto made a quick horizontal slash with his blade. Rakasa's eyes flew open as he watched the top half of his cock fly through the air and land on his lap in mid orgasm, the pain not registering due to his brain being in shock. With all of that blood that had been rushing to that one part of his anatomy, the blood pill he had been forced to swallow before hand, and him being in the middle of cumming when it happened, all contributed to an impressive amount of blood shooting out like a miniature fountain.
The scream of pure horror and pain filled scream that ripped itself out of Rakasa's throat easily scarred all of the surrounding wildlife away for miles, as Hitome and Kakuzu looked on stunned by Naruto's brutality. The later having wincing and covering his own manhood as he witnessed something that even he could admit was fucked up in the extreme, Hitome on the other hand was actually cheering for Naruto as Rakasa continued to scream. Naruto simply watched with an unnaturally satisfied look on his face as Rakasa screamed at the top of his lungs for several minutes, when he finally seemed finished and was gasping for breath, that was when Naruto spoke.
"Are you done?" he asked causing Rakasa to look up at Naruto with pure murder in his eyes.
"Good." And with that Naruto drove his tanto into Rakasa's left temple, going through his skull with the tip coming out the other side. Ripping his tanto out he quickly cleaned it with some scraps of Rakasa's clothing before sheathing the blade and walking off, preferring to be alone for a little while.
As Kakuzu sealed the body into a scroll he couldn't help but ask "So Hitome, how long do you think it's gonna take for you to get him interested in your religion?" Given what he had just seen he could honestly say that he'd be shocked if the young Hanyou didn't convert within another year or so.
"Gimme 6 months Kakuzu and I'll have me a brand new acolyte for Jashin, gotta say though I'm proud of the little tyke, hell I didn't even see that one comming!" Hitome replied as they began to make their way to where Naruto had gone, "He's going to be juuuuust fine." she said mostly to herself.
As they retrieved Naruto they and headed West towards Wind Country Kakuzu and Hitome could tell that Naruto was feeling better, the smile he had on wasn't a fake one, but a small genuine smile of contentment. For Hitome she could see that Naruto had 'gotten his power back', which is something that many rape victims never get back, she could easily admit to being happy for him. From here the only way for the little Hanyou to go is all the way up, she got the feeling then and there that the next few years were going to actually be fun having Naruto around.
Annnnnd I'm done, sorry to those who were waiting for this chapter to come out, had to deal with training for my new job site so I wasn't able to get to it for a few days. What took the longest though was mostly thinking of how a little child that young would act after surviving something that horrific, not gonna lie I had to go and take a shower after writing in the stuff with Fugaku in the Council Chamber scene. I also was stuck with how to write it all out cause I didn't want to spend two or three chapters where Naruto is dealing with all that shit, I wanted to try and wrap that up and find a way to bring it to a 'close' of sorts. One where Naruto finally is able to gain closure over what happened once and for all, despite Fugaku still being alive, and to press forward with the story. I still got A LOT of stuff to cover and get through, but rest assured there will still be some 'side effects' from what has happened to him in this chapter. Also to those of you who may be wondering about the stuff I wrote in about Okami Inuzuka(Tsume Inuzuka's husband), I always thought that the Inuzuka clan was badass, I mean hey Ninjas with claws and have wolf and dog companions. Just take a look at how big Akamaru gets in Shippuden! Big enough to literally ride into battle, which Kiba does actually make a habit of doing regularly for obvious reasons, but anyway the thing about them that I noticed was that they lacked ranged attacks and I never saw them use elemental variants of their jutsus in the show at all. When you channel elemental chakra into any technique it will produce unique and different results due to the 'nature' of each element, imagine if an Inuzuka were to channel a shit ton of Raiton/Lightning chakra into their signature Gatsuuga Jutsu. Not only would they travel at incredible speeds but their piercing power easily trump the Chidori! Or if Katon/Fire chakra was used instead? That's one Fire jutsu that would make most Uchiha jealous, especially after witnessing it's destructive capabilities. So I figured I'd make Okami an all around badass who could whip Kakashi's ass and really come up with powerful jutsus, (spoiler alert) he is going to die in a couple of chapters but you'll like how he goes down, trust me (wink wink). He will also have a signature weapon that will be passed down to Kiba later on who I am making a girl for this story, guess who she's going to have a crush on. Anyways let me know what you think of the story so far and make sure to read the intro to the next chapter, because that will have a list of the pairings for this story. Till then take care!
