Chapter 3: Sayla's rescue
Sayla was cornered. There was no way she could get out of this situation. Again, she struggled to move and break free from the chains but it was useless. She then looked at the people beneath her. Most villagers were wishing for her death, while some were insulting her and the others remained silent but glared hatefully at her. Her eyes landed on her boss, at which point he quickly turned his back on her. She inhaled deeply as she shut her eyes and wait for her judgement.
"As I already told you since we got here!" the head of the village spoke up then turned to face Sayla, who remained silent. "Sayla interacted with the demon! Had she not done such action, the demon would've been long gone by now!"
He continued speaking. "Just like her parents had done so years ago, she tried to help the demon! Whether she did it as a revenge for her parents' death or was manipulated, none of that matters at all! This is an act of treason! Such action is not tolerated and will be punished! Sayla had been a good citizen over the years! This is why her death will be quick!"
The elder man shot a glance at his two bodyguards, to which they nodded and untied Sayla from the pole. Sayla tried to move away, only to receive a hard slapped on her face causing her to fall down. Ayor grabbed her hairs and dragged her toward the guillotine. They got her on her knees and quickly placed her head in the hole and locked her hands so she wouldn't move.
Her body hurt so much from the previous treatment she'd gotten. She had been whopped harshly for more than an hour already. Her mind couldn't help but wonder what was awaiting next, surely they weren't finished yet. A small groaned escaped her lips when her former boss touched her bleeding wounds.
"It's unfortunate this is happening to you, but you are at least able to expect that much when betraying us. It's time to finish this." He crouched in front of her face and stroked the bangs covering her face, much to her disgust.
"Forgive me but this is for the good of everyone here." He stood up and turned at the crowd. "This is here, at Canvuz Hill, that one of us will be executed! Sayla, a worker of mine will meet her fate here and now! However before we start, I would like to hear your opinion on this!"
Sayla stared down in sadness at the people in front of her. She remembered when they used to respect her at least the day before. It was heartbreaking to see all of them turning their backs on her just because she interacted with Naruto. Oddly enough, she started thinking about the blond. She wondered if Naruto was experiencing the same sadness she was feeling whenever they wished for his death.
She always thought Naruto was the one creating conflicts which is why they wanted him dead so much. But looking closer at their hateful expression, she came to believe it could only be coming from malice. This village was the problem after all, not Naruto. She'd wished she could've realized it sooner. Had it been the case, she definitely would have sided with Naruto.
"This is nothing personal, Sayla. Any last words before we start?" the head of the village asked.
Sayla gathered all her remaining strength and spoke up. "I do not regret my action because I know it saved someone's life. Should I die, I will never stop believing in what my parents believed." She paused before speaking again. "Humans or demons… It doesn't matter to me, I want to believe in something much greater!"
"This here is a proof of her betrayal! Anybody has something to say to this?!" the headman asked the villagers.
"Yeah!" a voice was heard from the back of the crowd.
At that, the atmosphere suddenly tensed up, bringing everyone on their knees except Sayla. It was at this moment that everyone knew … the demon was here. Not even a second later, Naruto Uzumaki appeared next to Sayla and looked down at her. "Look at you, didn't I tell you that helping me was bringing more shit? I caused your parents' death and almost yours as well."
"It doesn't matter… I chose this path myself." Sayla basically implied she was ready to die anytime, causing him to release a small chuckle.
"Alright, then should I let it continue? Do you want to die?" Naruto asked, to which she repeated herself. "Okay then, I'll let it continue." He said nonchalantly as he got up to leave.
Sayla raised her head and looked at him with fearful eyes, at which point Naruto's chuckles only increased. The blond then kneeled in front of her face and repeated himself in a serious tone as he stared deeply into her eyes. "Do you want to die or not?! Be honest with yourself!"
It was then that Sayla fully broke down in tears.
She didn't want to die. Not like this, anyway. She wanted to live! There was still so much for her to experience than dying here. She still needed to experience love, having kids, moreover, traveling!
"I-I don't want to die yet! I want to live! Please… Save me!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Naruto broke her bindings in a single blow. He quickly picked her up bridal style and ran through the crowd toward the exit. Sayla tightly wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck and snuggled into his chest as she sobbed.
"Don't… let them escape!" the headman yelled aloud as soon as Naruto's pressuring aura wore off.
At that, most men guarding the place pulled out their bows and shot multiples arrows at Naruto and Sayla. Naruto summoned a chakra blade through thin air and easily deflected them. Unfortunately by the time he was done, he and Sayla were already surrounded by the whole village. Naruto stood frozen in the middle of the crowd as he observed his surroundings.
He sighed boringly, and leaned his head toward Sayla's ear. "Hold on tighter to me."
She complied and held him as hard as she possibly could. So hard, that she couldn't help but wonder if she was actually hurting him a bit.
"You're not getting away!" one of them yelled aloud.
Naruto couldn't help but chuckle at that. He was forced to stop chuckling as soon as another opened his mouth and blurted out something interesting.
"Why are you taking Sayla with you?! What use do you have of her?!"
Naruto raised an eyebrow and then looked down at the young woman in his arms. Good question. Now that he thought about it, why was he saving her? Up until now he'd never cared about anyone but himself, and here he was, risking his ass to save another. Moreover, the person he was holding was a human being. She was part of the people he hated the most on earth.
"We will leave you alone, but you're gonna have to hand the girl over." Ayor, the headman's bodyguard stepped in front of the crowd. He was shortly followed by his fellow comrades, Kotun, who now stood beside him.
Naruto shot them a brief glance, before glancing back at Sayla. The expression on Sayla's face was bothering him a lot. It was a mixture of fear and hope. Obviously she was afraid he would ditch her. But at the same time he could tell just from looking into her eyes that she trusted him with her life. He couldn't understand the reason why she was placing her hope on someone as himself. He was bad, he'd never shown a good side of him to anyone, and despite all that, she trusted him? Either she was blind, or simply desperate to be saved.
"Why do you trust me?" he asked her, ignoring the people all around.
"Because I know you're a good person inside…" Sayla admitted, confusing him. "Nonsense." Naruto denied back.
"Kill them!" Kotun dashed forward with a large knife.
Naruto stepped aside, avoiding the offender's attack with ease and stabbed his leg. The large man quickly fell down and cried in pain while holding his injury. Naruto quickly rose up his leg and knocked the man unconscious with a powerful kick. Not even a second later, everyone around threw themselves forward to attack the blond and Sayla. Naruto dodged every single attack coming from them one by one, keeping Sayla safe all the while.
Naruto couldn't fight back, not with Sayla on him at least. There was only one way to get rid of them. "I will finish all of them…"
Naruto jumped in the air and chanted a spell. "Paint the sky black, and cover the world in a heap of darkness. Black Art-"
Sayla's eyes widened in shock when Naruto's killing intent spiked up. He was aiming to kill everyone below them with his upcoming attack. She didn't want him to kill anyone, even if it was the ones who almost caused her death. Naruto was better than them and she knew it. She needed to stop him now before it was too late. "Don't kill them Naruto! It won't make you any better than them!"
Caught off guard by her sudden burst, Naruto stopped his spell on time. "Fuck! Hold on tight!"
Naruto raised one of his arm in the air and created a large Rasengan. He then let his body fall down and slammed his Rasengan on the ground, creating a large crater and pushing back the villagers violently.
"You good?" he looked down at Sayla, who was still on him.
His question was shortly answered when she winced in pain at her bleeding injuries, causing the blond to hurriedly get out of the village. "Shoot!"
Naruto recognized the headman's voice shouting, and glanced back. A large torrent of fire arrows were shot at them in a scattered formation. This was going to be a real pain in the ass. Naruto turned back and caught a one of the arrow barehanded and threw it back at its owner's head. Still sitting in his arms, Sayla watched in horror at the scenery of the man dying from above Naruto' shoulder. She then stared up at Naruto, who seemed not to care one bit about the man he just killed.
Sayla couldn't believe what Naruto had done. He killed someone cold-blooded right in her sight.
She snuggled into his arms, silently, as they finally escape the village. She shut her eyes tightly, wanting to forget what she just witnessed.
Once they cut chase with the villagers, Naruto brought her to his home and set her down gently on his bed. He quickly took out a white towel and dipped it in water before applying it on her wounds. Sayla winced in pain at that. "It stings…"
"Duh! It's water mixed with medicinal plants." Naruto replied without even looking at her as he treated her legs. "Don't move." His hands moved from her injured legs toward her chest. Naruto paused for a second before considering something. The next thing immediately caught Sayla off guard to the point she was rendered speechless. Nonchalantly, Naruto ripped her shirt open, revealing a black lacy bra and placed the towel on her left breast as he groped her directly.
Unwillingly, Sayla let out a soft moan before slapping his hands away. "What are you doing?!"
"Isn't it obvious? I'm healing you." Naruto said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Y-You c-can't do that!" Sayla blushed heavily and covered herself.
"I don't have all night. Either you let me heal you or just get lost already." Naruto said in a serious tone.
"I think I can manage this part myself…" Sayla replied and grabbed the towel from Naruto's hand.
Naruto didn't object since it would save him from the trouble of nursing her. He cocked his head aside in confusion when she turned around and took off her top. She was apparently trying to hide something from him.
How suspicious, he thought.
As soon as he moved to look at her from another angle, Sayla had moved along. He tried again multiple times but still couldn't see a thing. Unable to take this any longer, he asked. "What are you trying to hide? Better not be some weapon."
"Eh?" a confused expression could be read all over her face as she turned around blushing. "I-It's nothing like that…"
Once again, she turned back and continued what she was doing, much to Naruto's annoyance. "What is it then?"
"I don't want you to see my bare chest…" She replied timidly, as she finished healing herself and grabbed her piece of underwear.
"Are you ashamed to be seen naked?" Naruto's question caused Sayla's blush to increase. "Of course! Who wouldn't?!" She blurted out.
"I'm not you see." Naruto spoke in an unconcerned tone as he looked away. "Anyways…"
Sayla regained her calm when he spoke in a dead serious tone. It was finally time to discuss about real matters. Naruto grabbed a chair, and sat in front of her. Sayla felt uncomfortable, as his eyes wouldn't leave hers. After a full minute of staring at her, Naruto finally broke the silence.
"What happened to you after you went home?"
Sayla was hesitant at first, but then eventually confessed everything.
After a long walking time, she finally arrived to her house. She entered her place and quickly went for her bed. She lied on it silently, thinking about her day. Her unexpected confrontation with Naruto went pretty well for the most part. Well, except for the part where she was caught naked and saw his well-endowed body. She couldn't help it but feel embarrassed each time she thought about it.
Feeling her stomach growling, she decided to get up and cooked a meal to eat. She stopped halfway to the kitchen when she heard a few knocks on her door. She approached the entrance door and looked outside the window. She recognized the newcomer as Ayor, the headman's bodyguard. He didn't seem to have noticed her as he tapped the door even harder. "Sir, she isn't there." He spoke into a small device attached to his ear.
Sayla took several steps back. What was going on for him to be there? Did something significant happened for Ayor to be at her door?
"Surely sir." Ayor nodded and then kicked the door's handle.
Wow. Something was definitely not right now! First of all, she'd never seen Ayor sent out personally by her boss. And now he was trying to break into her house? Whatever it was, she could tell it wasn't something good at all. Unfortunately for her, by the time she'd finally decided to move, Ayor was already inside. "Sayla, Sir. Walzot wants you to see him immediately." He turned to face her.
Afraid, Sayla fell down on her rear. "What's happening?"
"Don't question me and just come." Ayor replied as he waited at the entrance.
She shook her head. "I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what's happening."
Ayor lost patience. He approached her as he recalled the words of his boss, to bring her by any means. "Come!" he harshly pulled her by the arm and dragged her toward the exit.
"Let go of me!" Sayla shot back at him—only to receive a hard punch on her jaw.
She yelled out in pain as she fell down and held the area where she was just hit. The guy wasn't done yet and kicked her in the stomach, causing further pain. She coughed out blood before being pulled by the hairs. "Now come quietly will you?"
"Let go… of me…" She repeated, panting heavily.
The man scoffed and raised her in the air. And it was the last thing she remembered before she fell unconscious…
She finally was able to regain consciousness, but by the time she did, she was already attached against a metal pole. She threw few glances around and eventually came to recognize the place. A place she was very familiar with, Canvuz Hill, where her parents were murdered. She knew at that moment, that she was going to die. "This is your punishment for helping out a demon."
She heard a voice behind her. It was undoubtedly her boss' voice.
"I know everything from Ikagura, Sayla. Turn on the lights!" He ordered, at which point many powerful rays of light were shot at her.
Sayla closed her eyes slightly, unable to take it. She quickly got used to the lights and found herself in shock when she saw all the villagers gathered around her. Her boss approached her with a whip in his hands and spoke up. "I want to thank all of you for coming here without your children present!"
"What is going here?!" one of them asked.
"Is that Sayla-san? Why is she there?" A woman in the crowd asked worriedly.
"Yo! C'mon! Why the fuck we got to come here?! It's midnight already!" multiple complains could be heard from the crowd.
"Everybody calm down! There is a reason as to why I've brought all of you here!" The head of the village then pointed his whip at Sayla. "Sayla, a worker of mine had betrayed us today! She went outside the village without permission and interacted with the demon we hate so much! She even helped him at some point!"
At that, most the villagers glared hatefully at Sayla. A satisfaction smile could be seen on the headman's face. "Sayla-san will never do such thing! I've known her for a long time! She's really pure hearted!" A man stood up in front of the crowd.
"Oh yeah? Then tell them about it Sayla!" He stated as he pointed his finger at her .
When Sayla didn't respond, he raised his whip and slammed it on her. He repeated this action several times, gaining scream of pain coming from her. "Answer him already you piece of shit!"
"I did!" Sayla shouted back, causing the headman to stop. "It's the truth… I helped Naruto…"
"Sayla… all these years you've been deceiving us…" the man mumbled in disbelief.
Sayla raised her head weakly at him and spoke. "No I didn-"
She was unable to finish as the man unleashed his fury at her. "You're no better than your parents after all! You damn bitch! You deceived all of us! You deserve to die just like your parents!"
It hurt her feelings to hear that. She felt her heart breaks into tiny pieces. One moment before that he was against her death and the next… "No, please hear me out!"
"The people have spoken! There's no need for words anymore!" He swung his whip around and hit her hard with it.
"That's all that happened before you rescued me…" She finished.
Naruto nodded couple times at her story. "I see…"
"Thank you…" Sayla whispered in a low voice, much to Naruto's surprise.
"What? Thank you for what?" Naruto was confused at her words.
A human was grateful to him? This was new.
"For saving me…" Sayla trailed off.
Naruto grabbed her by the arm, and pulled her face to face. "Don't ever be grateful to me! I'm not some human you can-"
"I don't care about all that." Her voice was fragile, but the look in her eyes was strong nevertheless.
"What…" Naruto's blue eyes turned crimson as he stared intensively at her. Finally, he sighed in defeat as he pulled his head away and lied next to her. "Honestly, I don't get you at all human. No matter what I say to you, you'll always deny me!"
"Uzumaki-san... I've meant to ask-" Naruto sat up and covered her mouth. "Do not ever call my name again."
She gave him a grief submissive look, to which he pulled back and allowed her to continue. "As I was saying Uzumaki-san…"
"Tskk! Anything I say will never get through with you, I'm so done!" Naruto summoned a dagger and held it at her throat. He sighed loudly once again. "Meh! Killing you after all my efforts to save your ass would be a waste!" He thought aloud and threw the weapon somewhere randomly in the room as he lied back down. "What is it?"
Naruto titled his head at Sayla. He could tell that she was getting a little bashful about asking him something by the uncomfortable way she glanced at him, and finally she worked up the balls to open her mouth. "Why did you save me? I thought you didn't want to have anything to do with humans…"
That was true. He didn't want to have anything to do with them. However, he still owed a debt to her parents for taking good care of him, which probably why he saved her. It was the least he could do.
Naruto didn't even bother to reply and turned off the lantern sitting on top of the table. "Get some sleep, you're gonna need it."
"Yes…" she replied in disappointment as she lied down next to him.
The bed was rather small for two people to fit in. Sayla couldn't help but move and try out every possible position. Not to mention that the room was also as cold as ice! This had been going on for the past ten minutes already, and Naruto grunted in annoyance each time she was doing it. "Stop moving or you're gonna end up sleeping on the floor!"
But Sayla wasn't having any of it as she continued to move in order to find a comfortable position. She immediately stopped when she felt an arm slid around her waist. Not even a second later, Naruto pulled her into a hug. She blushed madly as she could feel her breasts pressed against his chest. "W-What are you doing?!"
"Solving the problem. I'm squishing us together so we can fit on the bed and you're also cold so I'm warming you up." He titled his head back to look at her, eyes bright even in the darkness.
Sayla was still blushing slightly from earlier. It felt really awkward to be this close to someone. She'd to admit it; it felt a hell lot more comfortable to be in his embrace than when she wasn't earlier. Being held by him felt warm, and also… secure?
"I will tolerate you tonight, but when the day comes tomorrow. I will treat you the same as any other humans." He mumbled out before falling fast asleep.
"Hmmm." Was all that came out from her as a response.
Sunlight streamed through the window, signaling the start of another beautiful day. Or It would've been had the sun decided not to be an asshole and hit Naruto square on the face with a beam of light. Groaning slightly, Naruto tried to duck his head under his arm to hide from the sun—only to get a face full of something soft and sweet smelling. He sputtered noisily and opened his eyes to see what the hell the stringy stuff in his mouth was.
His eyes landed on Sayla, who was curled up against him. Her left arm was wrapped firmly around his right, and her cheek rested gently against his forearm. He also noticed that her mouth was hanging wide open. Well, it clarified what the liquid making a puddle on his arm was. She was a drooler.
Even if he felt grossed out by the growing river of drool, he decided not to wake her up. He quietly got off bed, making sure not to wake her and head straight outside the back of his house. There, he picked up a container, filled it with water and set it on a small fire camp to boil it. Right after, Naruto went back inside with the water ready and took out a pack of ramen out of the box. He poured the liquid inside the bowl and waited.
With nothing left to do, he focused his attention back on Sayla.
He hadn't really looked at the girl since they'd met. In fact, the only thing he knew about her was that she was the daughter of the orphanage's owners, had long black hair, and was rather kind. He marched up to her and touched her wounds. She was fully healed already.
Sayla stirred up slightly at his touch, before completely waking up. She sat up and stared on at the floor for no particular reason at all. Just an old habit of hers. Her eyes then landed on Naruto, who was in a crouch position, and glancing at her body. Sayla frowned and looked down at the garment, looking for anything out of the ordinary. She was astonished when she finally realized all of her wounds from yesterday had vanished. She smiled gratefully at him, to which he quickly rejected as he was just about to kick her out. Well, it didn't matter to her as long as he knew how she felt.
"That's the ramen box you stole from the village yesterday huh…" She walked up at the corner and bent down to see the box.
Upon hearing that, Naruto turned around and gave Sayla a suspicious look. He didn't remember seeing her yesterday in that crowd, so how did she know he'd stolen it? Naruto kept looking at her for few more seconds before letting it go. Getting suspicious of her at this point was getting him nowhere, at least for now.
"Naruto-san…" She called out to him, causing him to groan because he was interrupted while eating his favorite food. Naruto paused and allowed her to speak. He could also tell whatever she was about to say was definitely not something good, judging at how serious she just sounded.
"What do you want?!" Naruto asked, sounding more annoyed than he intended to.
"It's about yesterday…" She was hesitant as she spoke. "Why… Why did you kill that man?"
"The one I threw the arrow back right?" She nodded.
"Why? He tried to kill us, he deserved it." He replied.
"This is wrong! You shouldn't take anyone's life even if… Even if they'd tried to kill you…" Her voice fell down as she uttered the last words.
"Not like I care, people die every day." Naruto told her, his tone was plain and uncaring.
Sayla bit her inner lip gently. She was having a hard time absorbing what he just said. In a way, it wasn't really surprising to her that Naruto had changed so much. He was put through a lot of sufferings nearly every day for the past seven years. Yet, she couldn't help but feel depressed at how much he'd changed over the years. Back then, he used to be so funny, cheerful and would always have that smile on his face.
"You've changed…" She mumbled in a low voice, causing Naruto to scoff at how naïve she was.
"Time changes people." His reply was short but so meaningful at once.
She knew that for sure. There was no denying that over time, people would derive from who they originally were. But even if it was the case for Naruto, she wanted to believe that the 'him' from before was still present deep inside him.
Well, actually, she was sure of it.
"I'm done eating." Naruto gulped down the soup, walked over the exit door and opened it. "I'll escort you down since you're so helpless."
Sayla turned her face away in embarrassment, and then nodded. When outside, Naruto lifted her off, placed her on his shoulder and jumped down, causing Sayla to get slightly angry at how he was treating her. Once they landed, Naruto bent down and allowed her to get off him. An awkward silence was now present as the two stared at each other, not knowing what to say. They stayed like that for no more than thirty seconds before Naruto spoke.
"Well… Now you're gonna have to be on your own."
"Hmmm." She muffled in response before turning and walking away.
"Sayla!" Naruto called her out for the first time by her name. "Try not to get killed." His voice sounded bossy but caring at the same time.
Sayla blushed at the carrying tone he implied when he said those words. It seemed that Naruto still had a caring side and was still not too far gone. "Thank you for everything Naruto-san! Take care!"
"Idiot dumbass." Naruto smirked at her.
Man, she never listened to him in the end. Always referring him by his name and showing gratitude as well. Oh well, not like it bothered him anymore. Naruto was walking in opposite direction from Sayla and was about to go back home when he suddenly felt a source of magic coming from behind. He turned back, and saw a large torrent of black fire coming straight at him and Sayla.
Sayla threw her arms in front of her in a defensive manner as the fire kept getting closer with each second. Naruto dashed at an extreme speed, and pushed Sayla out of the way before avoiding the fire too. The black flames ended up hitting a random tree, causing it to catch on fire for a few seconds before vanishing without any traces left.
"I missed so badly! Hahahaaaah!" A loud laughter was heard from afar as Naruto helped Sayla to stand up.
"Who the fuck are you?!" Naruto asked, not hiding one bit the anger behind his voice.
The laughs suddenly stopped. "I'm from the Balam Alliance, the strongest dark guild named Grimoire Heart, God Slayer Zancrow.
The newcomer jumped down from a tree and landed several feet from Naruto and Sayla. He had long and spiky blond hair that reached down to his lower back. His eyes were red in color with multiple circular patterns. He wore a yellow and dark blue skirt-like armor with a red waist ribbon that exposes the right side of his chest as well as his right shoulder.
He gave them a psychotic grin as he made his way toward them—only to be hit in the head by another man.
Unlike the previous guy, this one was a huge, overweight, yet muscular man wearing a large dark robe-like garment with a lighter-colored spotted design near the top. Underneath this, he was bare-chested, two belt-like collars wrapped around him in a cross fashion and wore superhero-looking tights. His skin was very pale. His hairs were black and shaggy with slight sideburns. He also had a huge head, yet small face, and a very thick neck. Among the most noticeable of his facial features were his large eyebrows, his bulging chin, and his thick lips.
"Master Hades told us to negotiate, not start a fight. "
"You're always so serious, Kain! I hate your guts for real you damn fatso!" Zancrow said as he crossed his arm and turned his face away from his partner.
"What the hell do you want from me?" Naruto asked as he overheard their short discussion.
Kain stepped forward and kneeled down in front of Naruto, as if he was his superior or something. "My master wishes to see you."
"I don't care who you guys are, just leave me alone and get the hell out of my property while you still can." Naruto thought aloud, much to Zancrow's amusement.
"So you think you're some tough shit huh?!" Zancrow laughed at Naruto in a crazy manner.
Sayla watched quietly behind Naruto as the atmosphere tensed up. She could tell that a fight was about to break out in any seconds.
"Shut the hell up." Naruto raised his fist and crashed it right at Zancrow's face, sending this one crash few meters back.
"You've done it now dipshit." Zancrow stood up, and gathered fire in his hands. "Move Kain! I'll turn this guy into ashes!"
"Naru-" Sayla opened her mouth to say something but was silent right away by Naruto who held his arm in front of her in a defensive manner. "Stay back now."
"Wait Zancrow! Master Hades didn't ask us to kill him!" Kain held out his hand to Zancrow to make him stop.
"Flame god's!" Zancrow mumbled as the fire in his hands grew stronger with each second passing. "Kagutsu-"
However, before Zancrow could even finish his spell, Naruto appeared in front of him in a blink of an eye and slammed a powerful side kick to his ribcage. Zancrow flew back in mid-air for a brief moment before finally catching his footing on the ground. "Not bad!"
"Rasengan!" Naruto brought his hand forward and aimed it straight at Zancrow's chest.
However, before Naruto could even reach Zancrow, his arm was caught by Kain's large hand, who then pulled him, and slammed his palm on his chest. Naruto was sent crashing loudly against a giant boulder before falling down on the grass.
"Naruto!" Sayla ran to Naruto worriedly. "Are you okay Naruto?!"
"Damn it… This fatass is pretty strong." Naruto get up as he wiped the blood dripping from his mouth. "I guess I'm gonna have to take them seriously."
Not even a second later, Naruto's body was now wrapped in a red aura, his eyes pure red as he stared at both of his opponents, a very twisted grin graced his bleeding mouth. Sayla's eyes widened in fear as she felt the evil aura Naruto was giving off. "This feeling…"
Zancrow and Kain watched in interest at Naruto's sudden burst in power. This power of his was exactly the reason why their master had sent them.
The power of a demon.
"Shall we begin?" Naruto's voice was different, almost animalistic in tone.
Author's note:
