I do not own Naruto.
Enjoy!
Everybody looked at the person in the middle of the sealed circle.
First Neji, now him, they were doing way too much work these days.
Blood had already been extracted but what nobody expected was to see his blood come out solid black, instead of that red.
When they saw this, they were all shocked.
No wonder, they were hearing that he was calling them human, he was no longer human himself.
His parent were certainly shocked when they heard his blood was solid black and Tsunade observations.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find his heart beat and his body was cold and yet.
He was alive.
He had every right to call them human, something very dangerous happened in that forest.
And now they were going to wake him up, Tsunda made sure the seals were in place and that there was a barrier around them.
Inoichi was on standby, beyond the barrier and protective glass.
They had to find out what he believed was his life so that Inoichi could know what to look for when he eventually mind walks.
The seals on Shikamaru face began to peel off and they dropped harmless on to the floor.
His face that nobody had seen for a week, was pale and his eyelids began to twitch showing he was coming back to consciousness.
"So that's what it feels like to be forced into a coma and be aware of everything?" said, Shikamaru, he didn't even care he was being detained, he was just glad his noses was plugged up.
"Shikamaru" said, Tsunade and his head shifted and looked at her but his body couldn't move.
"Do you know who I am?" said, Tsunade.
"A human who has big knockers" he answered.
And if Shikamaru mind hadn't been scrambled, she would have hit him and sent him flying out of the building.
Those beyond the barrier did not dare snicker, but he had developed balls of steel against her.
"I'm the Hokage, of Konohagakure" she began. "Your in-"
"Do I look like I care?" said, Shikamaru stunning them. "A bunch of humans kidnapped me and are trying to tear me apart to see what makes me tic. Why should I bother trying to engrave anything into my mind? Man, you humans are such a drag"
It was the first time many of them had heard Shikamaru talk like that.
They were stunned.
It was like his loyalty to Konoha had been sapped out of him and when that happened, what was left was a person who didn't care about anything.
No wonder he was disrespecting her so much.
"Cast your mind back to half a month ago. What were you doing?" said, Tsunade "Did you meet anybody strange?"
"Are you seriously trying to get to know me?" he said. "Your already ripping me apart, so why are you asking me personal questions? That's pretty messed up don't you think? And your race calls my race barbaric"
Silence before the Konoha alarm went off in case of extreme danger.
"And that would be the King" said, Shikamaru. "Be nice to him. If you offend him, your pretty much screwed"
Everybody looked at each other.
Was the person who did this to him, at their doorstep?
#Outside Konoha#
The answer was a very scary yes.
On a massive black horse was none other then what looked like the bringer of death.
The large man in a black robe was just sitting still and yet, not even the birds in the sky dared to fly over him.
With him was the scent of rotten flesh and the horses hooves were leaving bloody marks on the muddy road.
You can only guess how that horse got thosd.
The horse rode up the gate, showing that it was easily taller then a fully grown man.
"Halt!" shouted a guard.
The horse didn't.
Instead it picked up the pace and headed right for them!
"What the hell!?" said Kotetsu Hagane, before he pulled out his mace and his partner activated his Water release transformation.
The horse acted like they were standing still.
Kotestu swung at the horses legs intending to knocked it down.
But something happened.
The mace got stuck in the horses leg!
His partner used water to hopefully force the person off the horse but the person acted as if he was doing.
The two had no choice but to move out of the way or be stomped to death by the giant horse.
The gates didn't stop it.
It ploughed right through as if it was made from wood and the calm streets of Konoha was suddenly invaded to make way for Chaos and panic.
The huge horse showed up and ploughed its way through the streets of Konoha.
If somebody was blocking it, it would plough them down.
Splat.
Splat.
Splat.
Was it any wonder people were screaming and running for their lives when they saw those hooves come down and crushed living human to nothing but blood and bones?
It didn't didn't matter even if they were children!
Danzo Root was immediately deployed and so was the nearby Ninja who saw the chaos.
Ninjas threw everything at the horse or the person but they just stuck, and the horse kept ploughing.
Ploughing to the village square completely ignoring the jutsu and Ninja tools hurdle their way.
They couldn't stop them.
Fire, water, wind, ice, lighting, seal, poison, bloodline.
They survived it all.
Those watching we're in shock.
What kind of monster had entered their village!?
The horse finally stop and the man turned it around before he said in a voice that could wake up the dead.
"Bring out your Hokage, humans. Or I will keep killing people until you do" He said, and then the Horse ran into group and there were screams of pain and terror.
Everybody was in shock and fear.
He killed people like they were chickens, without even a Ninja move!
What had they attracted the wrath of!?
And Ninjas who didn't know his immune attacked, only to be shocked to see them both still moving.
He really was going to kill everyone he can find if the Hokage didn't come out!
"I'm the Hokage!" Shouted a man in an Illusion.
The horse paused and then ran to him and just when you thought it would stop.
Splat!
The Man was reduced to nothing but a stain, everybody let out screams of horror.
"Anybody else want to deceive me?" said the man.
Suddenly they heard.
"STOP! DON'T KILL ANYMORE PEOPLE!" Shouted a female voice.
The horse stopped and the monster turned his head.
It was Tsunade, she was shocked and looked slightly pale when she saw all the blood and the horse and the person pierced with weapons, living so casually.
"I am the Hokage" she said.
Silence.
"You speak the truth, human." said the man, before he said. "I am the cursed one but my people call me the Undead King"
Undead King?
No wonder!
He was still alive, when he should be dead!
What was this miraculous horse and body!?
"Cursed-san" said, Tsunade. "We don't not know how we have offended you but we could have discuss this in my office, lik-"
"Lies" said, the Cursed one. "My people have lived in peace with you humans, for a century. We claimed a piece of land and all we asked is for you humans to not step into our forest. But time and time again, you did, and we feasted on your flesh and bones. Our stomachs were filled with your blood, organs. Woman, children and adults, they are all the same."
They... WHAT!?
His statement was met with shouts of fear and horror.
There was uproar and every Council member, knew they had to kill this thing the first chance they got.
Tsunade face changed.
He really just admitted he ate human beings in front of her and her village.
"But we never went beyond the forest because we were satisfied with the land" said, the cursed one. "However, recently, you took something from us. You took a civilian. I would like to ask politely for you to return him"
Politely!?
After he had killed so many people, like chicken before them all!?
How was this the moment for manners!
Many people felt like he had just slapped them including Tsunade.
He killed somebody brother, sister, children, husband, wife or friend and he dares to be polite now!
"How can you call him, your civilian. When you did that to him!" said, Tsunade. "He is a Ninja of the Leaf and yet, you ripped his humanity from him. He doesn't recognise his own parents. He doesn't recognise his own sensei. I'm willing to bet, he doesn't even recognise his own friends. You took his mind and polluted it. How can you sit on that horse knowing what you did to a human being!?"
Silence.
And then something shocking happened.
He smiled.
He smiled as if her very existence was amusing to him.
"You humans are amusing" he said, and they all felt a shiver go down their spines. "You preach to the high heavens about how you must protect each other and yet you slaughter each one with the same lips. You glorify killers because you need a meat shield. You use naivety to make them continue the cycle of death. And your hostil towards anything that doesn't fit in to your perfect view of the world. You'll call it barbaric, I call it saving him from your trash like race."
Nobody knew his words were profound in the ears of a blonde.
Before he said. "Keep him." Much to everybody surprise. "I merely wanted to ask nicely. Bon Appetite"
Did he just say something related to eating!?
And then the horse, kicked the ninja that was trying to kill it with poison for the past few minutes, killing him instantly from the impact.
A woman screamed, because the head landed in front of her and many took steps back from fear.
The horse galloped forward and this time, nobody dared to not get out of the way in time.
No force that they could muster could stop the horse or him from going out of Konoha.
He walked out of the village as if he owned the place and then he disappeared like the wind.
There was only silence as they all came to terms with what happened.
Suddenly a Ninja said to Tsunade.
"Tsunade-sama. The council wants to speak with you" said, the Ninja.
The council wanted to know what she had in her possession to make a monster like that, walk in, kill a bunch of people and then walk out as if nothing happened.
Alive.
Tsunade, knew she had to take Shikamaru with her for this chat.
#Medical centre#
"Its so scary being alone with him" said, one medical nurse. "It feel like he'll wake up and attack any minute"
They were talking about Shikamaru who had been forced back to sleep, Inoichi had been dragged away when he tried to enter Shikamaru mind only to start screaming in pain.
He had yet to wake up from what he saw and experienced.
So they had no idea what was in the Nara's mind.
"Calm down, the seal as solid and he's unconscious" said, the other one. "And besides he's a Nara. Do you think-"
Her fellow worker face just went as white as a sheet, making her trial off.
She looked, but found nothing unusual and said. "What?"
"His Hand, just moved!" she squeaked.
He shouldn't be able to move any part of his body, but she saw it move!
The hand started to curl!
"What? I think you need to sit down" said, her friend looking at the body and even poking it. "See. Complete Immobile. Maybe, your overworked. We only have to make sure the giant seal keeps working"
However, the woman made it her mission to stay as close to the door as possible.
The woman closets to him rolled her eyes.
But little did they know, beyond the seals covering his face, were two very awake eyes.
Bon Appetite, indeed.
And scene!
Next chapter, Shikamaru is moved to the front of the whole Konoha council, where his mouth transforms into a silver tongue for a goal. Review/ fav and follow!
