A Mother's Fury
Chapter 2
Urameshii turned back to the woman and yelled "Who the fucking hell are you?"
The woman looked at him with red slit eyes and replied "Who am I? That's a good question. I'm known by many titles; The Red Death, Konoha's Hell Swordswoman, and plenty of others. But there are only 2 titles that matters to me. I am Uzumaki Kushina, Mother of Uzumaki Naruto; and lastly, the Kyuubi no Kitsune, Queen of Hell."
Urameshii paled when he heard what the woman in front on him said and thought 'D-d-did she say she was the brat's mother and was the Kyuubi?! No, she's lying. The brat's the demon; she's just trying to stall for time to protect the demon.' "Yeah right, he's the demon and he must die!"
The crowd, who had been blocking the alley, began to rush when they felt a massive Killer Intent(KI) erupt from the woman. So great was the KI that the whole village and the surrounding area felt it. The Sandaime, who had been on his way to finish up the evil paperwork, felt it and recognized it as the Kyuubi's KI 'Oh no, Naruto!'. The same thing was happening all over the village with the shinobi that fought the Kyuubi 7 years ago, except they were thinking 'I knew we should have killed the demon, now it's showing its true colors' or something along those lines.
As the villagers began to hide, most of the mob that were next to the source of the KI began to lose control of all bodily functions, running away, and fainting. Those that were strong-willed enough or just plain stupid, stay there and listened to Kushina talk.
"Why must my son die,…" Asked Kushina.
"I ain't telling a demon lover like you my name. As for why, like I said, he's the demon!" Replied Urameshii.
"Oh really, if he's a demon, then why doesn't he use his demonic power to destroy those who harms him?" Questioned Kushina.
Before Urameshii could reply, he was knocked to the side. Rin had used Kakashi's attention on Urameshii & Kushina to knock him off her and threw him at Urameshii. She then walked over towards Kushina.
"Kushina-nee-san, is that really you?" Asked Rin.
Oh, hey Rin-chan. Yeah it's me. I'll talk to you after I deal with these asswipes" said Kushina as she walked over to Kakashi & Urameshii "If you shit-stains think you can try to kill my kit and not suffer the consequences, you got another thing coming."
Kushina then drew the sword of her back and raised it above her head. Just as she was about to bring it down on Kakashi & Urameshii, a voice rang out "STOP!"
Kushina turned towards where the voice came from, it was the Sandaime.
"Who are you and why are you about to kill 1 of my best Nin and a respected counsel member?" demanded Sarutobi.
"I'm surprised you don't recognize me, Jiji." replied Kushina.
An ANBU spoke out "How dare you disrespect Sandaime-sama! You should be beggi…" The ANBU started to foam at the mouth from the vast amount of KI coming from Kushina.
Kushina turned her attention from the Sandaime to the ANBU "Quite boy, you know nothing of me and what I can and can not do. I'll 'disrespect' the old man if I want to. No one here can stop me, even if they tried. So if I were you, I would keep my mouth shut and stay out of other people's business."
"While it may be funny to see a grown man reduced to mush, I must ask you to stop, Kushina" bluntly stated Sarutobi.
Kushina turned back to Sarutobi and said "Ah, so you do remember me Jiji! I would have been sad if you didn't."
Sarutobi chuckled "Haha, you and Naruto-kun are the only ones who has ever had the gall to call me Jiji. So I knew it was you as soon as you said that. But I must ask, how are you here when you died 7 years ago?"
Before Kushina could answer, a voice came out from behind Kushina. "Now Kakashi!" While everyone was focused on the Sandaime & Kushina, Kakashi & Urameshii had untangled themselves and attacked.
Kushina saw Urameshii run towards Naruto & Sakura and was about to head him off when she heard Kakashi yell out "Raikiri!" She turned to look at Kakashi when his Raikiri-charged hand went through where her heart was.
Meanwhile, the Sandaime could only watch in horror as Urameshii ran at Naruto & Sakura, picking up Rin's ninjato and running it through Naruto's stomach and out his back, then pushing Naruto down on top of Sakura, jabbing the tip of the blade into Sakura's lower stomach. The two children screamed in pain; Sakura more than Naruto as she had never been stabbed before.
Kushina had been watching this as well. As soon as the blade entered Naruto's body, everything stopped for her. 'N-no… No, please don't die Naruto.'
Urameshii then began to laugh manically "Hahahahahaha!! He is dead, he's finally dead! And his little whore too!! Hahahaha!! Now I'll be seen as the hero who killed the Kyuubi!!"
Kushina's shock soon began to fade and be replaced by anger & fury, and her KI was let lose like never before. The whole Elemental Countries felt it; from Iwagakure to Kirigakure, there was no place where it wasn't felt. In Konoha, everyone started to faint or lose all bodily functions.
In the alley, Kakashi looked at Kushina's eyes and saw that they had changed from red slit eyes to completely blood-red eyes with black irises & bright red slits. "Oh shit!" In a flash, Kushina swung her sword and sliced through Kakashi's arm at the shoulder, causing Kakashi to scream. Then Kushina pulled Kakashi's arm out of her chest and darted faster than anyone could see towards Urameshii with her sword ready to strike.
Sarutobi, pulled out of his shock by Kakashi's scream, just barely saw Kushina dart towards Urameshii. He then ran to try and stop Kushina but it was too late. Urameshii, still laughing, felt Kushina's KI but didn't mind it as he was blinded by false visions pf glory. He then felt his body get rammed into the wall and heard 2 words in a demonic voice that everyone there would remember for the rest of their lives, "Feed, Soun'ga!(1)"
What happened next would be declared years later as the worst way to go; ghostly tentacles emerged from the sword and pushed into Urameshii body and then began to pull. What came out, only 3 people there other than Kushina; Sarutobi, Kakashi, & Rin; knew what it was, it was Urameshii's soul.
"GAAA!! What are you doing to me you bitch!" Grunted Urameshii.
"All you need to know is that you'll never be at peace again. You'll be tortured for all eternity within my sword by the dragon demon sealed in it. You won't even have a body left to bury when this is over" Hissed Kushina.
Urameshii looked at Kushina in horror "No, no, nooo!! Please have mercy, PLEAse…"
With a final tug, the ghostly tentacles completely pulled out Urameshii's soul and absorbed it into the sword. As soon as the soul was gone, Urameshii's body began to dry up and turn to dust.
Kushina then turned to the Naruto & Sakura "Rin! Get over here now! I need your help removing this ninjato!"
Rin ran over and looked at how the blade had gone through Naruto and stabbed Sakura "I'll num the entry & exit wounds. When I do, pull the blade straight out and don't let it cut the internal organs."
Kushina replied "Ok. Once I removed the blade, heal the girl. I can heal Naruto much faster now that I'm out of the seal." Kushina then firmly grasped the ninjato handle and pulled straight out quickly.
"GAAA!!" Screamed both Naruto & Sakura as they fell unconscious from the pain.
"Quickly, we don't have much time before they lose too much blood" said Rin as she began to close Sakura's wound from the ninjato with her Shosen Jutsu.
"I know, thankfully Naruto here has accelerated healing. It'll keep him from dieing from the blood loss." Said Kushina as she just poured her demonic chakra into the wound "Hey Jiji, get over here!"
Sarutobi, who had been standing back watching the 2 women work, stepped forward "Yes, Kushina?"
"When I get done, get a trusted ANBU to take Naruto to the hospital with Rin and the girl. Then call an emergence council meeting, it's time they answer for what they have done." Stated Kushina angrily.
"Just don't kill them. As a big of a headache they can be, I still need them to take a load off my workload." Replied the Sandaime.
Kushina snorted "Yeah, and because you shoved off your duties, the council has been taking power from you piece by piece. If you don't stop them now, in a few years you'll just be their goddamned puppet."
Sarutobi just looked at her blankly and asked "How the hell would you know that?"
Kushina stood up and stared at the Hokage "Just because Naruto didn't understand what was being said during his beatings, I did. And several times I heard them talking about overthrowing your power and making you their pet. Well, Naruto is healed; get that ANBU to take him and the other 2 to the hospital. Now if you don't mind, I've got some business to attend to."
"Boar, take Naruto-kun to the hospital with Rin-chan & the Haruno girl, also take Kakashi to the ANBU HQ. Neko, call the Council members to an emergence meeting; and if they're rallying to fight, tell them to stand down." Ordered the Hokage.
Two ANBU stepped forth and replied "Yes sir, Hokage-sama."
"Now Kushina, what is this business you have?" asked Sarutobi.
"This…" Kushina pointed to the forgotten red imp pinned to the wall by Kushina's first sword. "…is my business and it is the source of all the problems."
--1 1/2 hours later--
--Konohagakure no Sato Council Chamber--
The Konohagakure no Sato Council, a group of 50 clan leaders & prominent merchants that had bought their way onto the Council, a group that governed the village in most matters, led by the Hokage's old teammates & Danzo. A group who in the pass few years had been gaining power to rival the Hokage.
They had been at ether the festival or at home when they felt the KI of the Kyuubi. When they felt it, they all began to rally their clans or hide with their families. So when Neko arrived to inform them to stop rallying and/or report to the Council Chamber, they were rather annoyed that all their rallying had been a waste of time. As the various members arrived, they quickly noticed that the Haruno Clan leader hadn't shown up and the Hokage was nowhere to be seen.
When they had all arrived and sat in their seats, all the doors slammed shut and ANBU shunshined behind every council member with ninjato at their necks. Not even Hyuuga Hiashi, the Hyuuga clan head, could get out from under the blade in time. Then the side door leading to the Hokage Tower burst open, letting in the Sandaime and while the council didn't know who it was, Kushina carrying the Imp still attached to the sword.
"Hokage-sama, what is the meaning of this?!" demanded Hatake Jin, leader of the Hatake Clan.
Sarutobi retorted "I should ask you the same thing! You all have been implicated in an attempt to overthrow the position of Hokage and that, I will not stand for!"
Another member of the council, a merchant, asked "What are you talking about Hokage-sama? Why would we overthrow you? And who is that woman there with the… What the hell is that?!"
The Sandaime was about to answer when Kushina spoke up "I am Uzumaki Kushina and this is a Hell Imp. Now Sarutobi, we need to go ahead and remove the traitors before we can move on."
"You are correct, Kushina-chan. I know you wish to be at your son's side so I'll get this out of the way as fast as possible." Said the Sandaime.
Before the Hokage could say anything else, Hyuuga Hiashi interrupted "You can not be Uzumaki Kushina, she died 7 years ago. So who are you really?"
"You will be quite, Hiashi! You may have your answers after we are done!" Shouted the Hokage "If anyone else interrupts me again, the ANBU behind you will slit your throat. Now, I will ask you only once, who are the ones attempting to over throw me? Don't think of lying, Kushina will know if you are and I'll have you killed."
With this threat, 18 of the 50 members of the council raised their hands. All of them save 1 was market traders. The one who wasn't a merchant was Uchiha Fugaku.
"I should have known you were in on this Uchiha. I've known of your little coup that you've been planning, I just didn't know you had recruited others outside of the Uchiha Clan." Said the Hokage "ANBU, kill the merchants, but secure the Uchiha alive and take him to the maximum security cell in the ANBU HQ."
"Please, don't kill me!!" Said all the merchants, but they were silenced quickly.
Fugaku watched as all his backers fell and himself bound tightly with chakra-absorbing rope & ninja wire, and then taken away.
"Let this be a warning to you all, you do not try to become more powerful than the Hokage." Warned the Hokage. "Now, let's move on to the other matter. As I'm sure you are all aware of, the Kyuubi's KI was felt everywhere tonight. The reason for this was that the seal that was kept the Kyuubi within Naruto broke."
"Then why hasn't the Kyuubi attacked?!" Yelled Inuzuka Tsume, the Inuzuka's matriarch.
"Because what attacked the village 7 years ago wasn't the Kyuubi." Spoke Kushina.
"What the hell? How could a giant fox with 9 tails not be the Kyuubi?" Retorted Tsume.
"Because Kyuubi no Kitsune is just a title." Answered Kushina.
"And how do you know that? Hmm.."
"Because that is MY TITLE." Snarled Kushina as her chakra surfaced and formed the chakra cloak with 9 distinct tails.
"Holy shit!!" said several council members as they feel back out of their chairs in shock. Many of the Clan heads braced for battle when the Sandaime yelled "Enough! Council members, please return to your seats and listen. Kushina, stop scaring them and explain to them what is going on."
"Yes, Jij…" said Kushina before she was interrupted by a council member. "HELL NO, what the fuck do you take us for?! Idiots?! First you come in and kill many members of this counsel for a supposed coup involving the Uchiha Clan, then you…" The counsel member stopped talking due to massive KI aimed at him.
"Like Sarutobi, I do not like being interrupted. You will shut up or face the consequences." Hissed Kushina.
The council member then said something stupid "And just what ARE the consequences, big bad Kyu…"Thump Kushina's answer to the poor man's question was a kunai through the brain.
"Anyone else wants to interrupt me?" asked a pissed Kushina.
The rest of the council shook their heads no.
Kushina replied "Thank you. Now like the Hokage asked me to, I'm going to tell you what is going on. First off is that I am the Kyuubi no Kitsune and the being that attacked the village 7 years ago was this…" Kushina pointed to the Imp "A Hell Imp, basically the cockroach of hell. You just can't kill them and they are everywhere. The problem is that they try to steal the demonic powers of the demons of hell. That is what happened 7 year ago, it stole my powers."
Hyuuga Hiashi then asked "How could it steal your powers?"
Kushina turned to the councilman and said "I said don't interrupt me, but since you asked a smart question, I'll let it pass. You see, during my time here in Konoha before the attack, I had separated myself from my demonic powers and sealed them in a crystal. I hid the crystal in a cave at the base of Mt. Musashi to the north of here. I was all intent and purpose, human. I had met Minato-kun early in the 3rd Great Shinobi War before he became known as the Senki Senkou. I won't go into detail but needless to say we fell in love. At that point, I separated from my powers and became a leaf Nin who was from the destroyed Uzugakure. After the war, Minato-kun & I married in secret and I became pregnant with my son, Naruto. The reason why we married in secret was due to our enemies, both outside & inside the village. Anyway, it seems this little Hell Imp managed to get passed all the seals & traps set by me & Minato-kun and take the power from the crystal."
Hiashi then asked "Then why did we fight a 9-tailed fox? That Imp looks nothing like a fox?"
Kushina replied "Once again, a smart question. When a Hell Imp steals demonic power, they transform into whatever the demon it was they stole from. In this case, my truest form. When the battle started, I had just given birth to Naruto and everyone at the hospital was evacuated save me as per request. I began to meditate and became pure chakra. Right before Minato-kun used the Shiki Fuujin, I merged with my power to paralyze the fox body so that the Shiki Fuujin would work. However, Minato-kun saw that I had merged with the body, so he modified the seal so that in 7 years the seal would weaken & break to let me free. That day was today and when I got free, I found the Haruno Clan head and one of my husband's students, Hatake Kakashi, trying to kill my son and Haruno's daughter. The Hatake used his little lightning jutsu to slow me down while the Haruno stabbed both of the kids with a ninjato. Needless to say, Haruno is dead and the scarecrow lost an arm. Any questions?"
Tsume stood and asked "If you were human when you gave birth to the boy, does that make him human as well? Also, you said Hell Imps are impossible to kill. What is going to happen with it?"
"Tsume, I didn't mean they're immortal. I meant you can't kill one without another taking its place. As for the first question, he was supposed to be, but when I was sealed into him, my presence activated his dormant demonic genes. That's why he has those whiskers birthmarks." Answered Kushina.
"Oh, ok. So are we going to kill the imp or what?" said Tsume.
"What's this WE you're talking about? This is a demon matter, I shall be the one who decides its fate, not the council." Retorted Kushina. "Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go see my son and the girl. Also, Jiji, I would like it have access to mine & Minato's house."
Sarutobi, who had been watching the council squirm with a smile, answered "I'll have the keys in an hour. You go see your son, you've got a few years to catch up on."
Kushina replied as she walked out of the Council Chambers "Thanks! See'ya in a bit! Wait, does anyone have a blank sealing scroll? I need to seal this imp so I don't have to carry it around on my sword."
Yamanaka Inoichi stood and walked over "Here's one, but are you sure that thing won't escape?"
Kushina answered "Thanks, and yeah, it won't escape. See'ya!"
--Konohagakure no Sato Hospital--
After a few scuffles with the receptionist in the lobby, Kushina was greeted by Rin on the 3rd floor.
"Hey Rin-chan, how are they?" Asked Kushina.
Rin answered "Oh, hey Nee-chan. Naruto is alright, just has a slight case of chakra depravation. Sakura, we're still waiting on her test results. One of the unfortunate side affects of the Mukankaku no jutsu is that we can't use chakra to scan for internal injuries. So we've had to run a battery of test to check for injuries to the internal organs. I should be getting the results soon."
"That's good, can I go see them?" asked Kushina.
Rin replied "Sure, follow me."
Rin led Kushina down a hall towards a empty section of the hospital.
"Why are they down here? There's no one around here." Asked Kushina.
"Because all of the medical staff wants Naruto dead. And now that Sakura is involved, her too. Having the kids down here keeps the staff from having ideas." Answered Rin solemnly.
"Great, more people to kill. Wait, then how are you able to run those test you were talking about?" asked Kushina.
"Please don't kill them Nee-chan, Konoha still needs them. As for how, Kage Bunshin." Answered a smiling Rin.
"Hum, that's no fun." Pouted Kushina.
"Well, here we are." Said Rin as they approached a door guarded by the ANBU Boar. "I'll leave you alone for right now. I should have result when I return."
"Ok, I'm going to see if Naruto-kun is awake yet." Replied Kushina as she entered the room.
Kushina walked in and saw Naruto & Sakura in beds next to each other. She walked over o the two kids and sat on Naruto's bed to get a good look at her sons face. "Naruto, you look so much like your father its frightening." Kushina started running her hand through Naruto's hair when he started wake up.
"W-who are you?" Asked Naruto, not sure if this lady was going to hurt him or not.
Kushina smiled "My name is Uzumaki Kushina, I'm your Kaa-san."
What Kushina saw was not what she was expecting. Naruto, even thought he was hurt, jumped off the bed and tried to hide in a corner screaming "Don't hurt me, please!"
Kushina was shocked "Why would you think I would want to hurt you, Naruto-kun?"
"You're just like that lady, saying you're my Kaa-san. You're going to hurt me when I'm alone with you. Please don't hurt me!" cried Naruto.
"Oh god, what did they do to you?" Asked Kushina.
"The same thing you're going to do. Beat me for days, stab me with your sword, and leave me for dead!" Cried a now hysterical Naruto.
"That's not what I'm going to do, Naruto-kun." Sadly smiled Kushina.
"Then what are you going to do?" Asked Naruto crying.
Kushina replied "This." Kushina then took off Soun'ga and her armor, place them on the table near the door. She then walked over to Naruto, who was now balled up in the corner, and sat down next to him. She then grabbed Naruto and pulled him into her lab. Naruto started struggling, trying to free himself from Kushina, but her grip was too strong for Naruto. As he was struggling, Kushina whispered "It's alright Naruto-kun, it's alright. Kaa-san's here now, you'll never be hurt by the villagers again."
She kept this up till Naruto finally calmed down. When he was calm, Kushina stood up with him in her arms and laid him back on the bed. When she drew back, he grabbed her sleeve "Please… Don't leave me."
Kushina smiled "I won't leave you. Not now, not ever."
"Thank you… Kaa-san." Said Naruto as he fell back to sleep.
"You're welcome, sochi." Said Kushina still smiling.
--10 min. later--
Kushina was sitting in a chair in between Naruto's & Sakura's beds watching them when Rin came in.
Kushina looked up "Hey Rin, did you get the tests back yet?"
Rin replied "Yeah, I did. It isn't good, not at all."
"What's wrong?" Asked Kushina.
"Well, she's lost a lot of blood. Too much blood and we're out of her blood type, O. There are several staff members with type O blood but because of their hatred, they refuse to donate. I would do it, but I'm a type A." answered Rin
Hearing this Kushina began to contemplate.
"Ah, Nee-chan, are you ok?" asked Rin seeing Kushina deep in thought.
"Yeah, I'm alright. It's just I'm a type O like Sakura, but it's demonic. She'd die if she got my blood. Dammit, if only there was a way to… That's it! Rin, is the large seal room for the Chikatsu Saisei no Jutsu still here?" asked Kushina hurriedly.
"Yes, but why?" replied Rin.
"I need it to perform a demonic sealing." Answered Kushina with a sly smile.

(1): Yes, that's the Soun'ga from the 3rd Inuyasha movie. I'll explain how Kushina got it and why it is different from the movie at a later time.
Also, since no one answered my question, Urameshii means Hateful.
