Chapter 4: The Training 2: Massacre is all you need

The training has been progressing well and going according to plan. His father had taught him every Wind and Lightning element moves he knew, the Rasengan, and the Hiraishin. He also unlocked his Kekkei Genkai, the Tekigan (Target Eye, a translation from anime lab). His father gave him the basics of it. What was surprising is that all this took 1 year to complete. It took Minato 3 years to learn the Rasengan, and 4 years to learn Hiraishin...Naruto is truly incredible.

The next year was taken over by Kushina. She made him familiarize himself with the Water and Earth elements for the first 4 months, but he familiarized himself in just 2 and a half months. Well, it meant that it will hit two birds with one stone. It gave her enough time to discuss with him about the Uzugan (Whirlpool Eye), and her clan's history, and to teach him every Water and Earth moves she knew. When he heard it, he almost lost himself in shock. His mother's clan was known for being the jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko. Well, he took it better than I expected. Anyway, by the end of his mother's training (which was about 9 months!), he already started with Kyuubi's training.

Kyuubi's training, like Minato's and Kushina's, is composed of him familiarizing himself with it. He did it in 1 and a half months. After that, Kyuubi taught Naruto every Fire move she knows. He finished it in half month, which was good, because he would need every time he spared for Arthas' and Alexandros' training.

Arthas stood in front of Naruto.

Now, then, little one, time for your training. Now, then, you must familiarize yourself with the Dark Element, or now known as the Yamiton. It focuses primarily on attacking the enemies...well, all of the Scourge's units focuses on that. Anyway, I want you to put in here a rock as big as you.

Naruto asked, "How many?"

How about 20?

Naruto closed his eyes, and imagined the rocks. Sure enough, the rocks went there.

Good, little one. Now, I want you to concentrate on breaking one rock at a time using nothing but the Dark Element.

Naruto put out his hand in front of him and pointed it to a rock. He closed his eyes and concentrated. He didn't feel anything. Nor did he hear any crack or blast. He opened his eyes. Nothing happened to the rock. He closed his eyes again and concentrated. He almost felt something there...nope, nothing. He tried harder. Harder. Harder. HARDER! There! He felt it. He felt as if he was absorbing something. He heard something crack...then, explode. "Argh!" Naruto was pushed backwards by rock chunks.

Good job, little one, you actually did it on your second try. Now, then try it again.

For the past 14 and a half months (including the 6 months extra from Kyuubi's training), Naruto has been perfecting the Yamiton moves. The remaining 4 months were used for Frostmourne training.

Little one, now that you have finished your Yamiton training, it's time for your application training. Arthas summoned a Death Knight sword and assumed a Paladin stance (ironic, besides, he is a paladin at heart). Come at me with your best shot. Use any moves you know, mine or otherwise.

Naruto summoned Frostmourne and charged, "As you wish, Arthas-sensei." He went for an uppercut. Arthas blocked it. Naruto, then, jumped and aimed for his head by a downward kick. Arthas avoided it by ducking. Naruto composed himself, jumped a few feet back, performed some hand signs, and shouted, "Yamiton: Shi Koiru!(1)" Naruto held out his hand and in it held a green, glowing skull.

'Damn, that's the Death Coil!' Naruto threw the Coil. Arthas dodged it. Naruto performed more handseals and shouted, "Yamiton: Yami Nami!(2)" Naruto slammed both his hands on the waters and a wave gushed to him. 'Aww, man, the little one is getting better.' Arthas jumped to avoid it.

Naruto saw his chance and went for it. He grabbed Frostmourne and swung it to Arthas, "Hyouton: Samuke Shinsei!(3)" An explosion of ice, where the Frostmourne was swung, was heard and seen as ice shrapnel was sent to every area (except to Naruto's).

'Time to think "death knightly".' Arthas spun his sword to remove every shrapnel that was sent his way. Arthas went back to the watery ground of the sewer. He was out of breath. Not bad, little one. You made some impressive moves.

"I seek to impress, sensei." Naruto swung Frostmourne vertically and shouted, "Hyouton: Samuke Boruto!(4)" An ice piece was shot from Frostmourne as it pelted it's way to Arthas.

Very well, then, 'Yamiton: Shi Koiru!' Arthas did hand signs (he temporarily dropped the sword), and threw the Coil to intercept the bolt. It exploded in mid-air, as smoke fogged their view.

"Ranmaton: Yousobetsushori Bakuha!(5)" A voice said. Arthas immediately took guard. Out of the smoke came all five elements coming at him.

'What? What is this move? I've never seen him do this before!' Arthas used another Death Coil to intercept it, but it was overpowered by it. 'Damn! Gotta think! Think!... Maybe, that might work...yes, I'll try it.' Arthas channeled all Death Knight energies he can, charged it to his sword and swung it. Yamiton: Shi Kiritateru(6)! From Arthas' blade, came a dark blue gust of Death Knight energy. It collided with the Bakuha and exploded...again. Smoke covered their senses. But this time, Naruto came out of it.

"Katon: Ranran Tsurugi!(7)" Frostmourne was suddenly engulfed in flames (ironic), and Naruto swung it.

'What? Frostmourne, in flames? It seems there's more to Naruto than I thought.' Arthas charged, too. Both swords met. An influx of energy was released. After the energy subsided, Naruto and Arthas was barely standing. Arthas was on one knee. Naruto held his weight against Frostmourne.

Good job, little one. I didn't expect some of those moves of yours. Arthas breathed. Minato, Kushina, Kyuubi, and Alexandros appeared.

"Indeed, Naruto. I never seen moves like that 'Ranmaton' of yours...'Chaos Style,' was it? Interesting style...tell me, how did you do it?" Minato asked.

Naruto scratched the back of his head. "W-well, I have been practicing in secret while you guys were sleeping."

Kushina shouted, "WHAT? YOU MEAN THAT YOU WERE MAKING YOUR OWN MOVES WHILE THE REST OF US WERE SLEEPING?"

"Uhhh...uhhh, yes?" Naruto said. Minato calmed Kushina down.

"When, Naruto?"

"Well, since we started training, otou-san." Naruto said, in a thinking pose. Kushina muttered about 'stamina' and 'didn't get enough sleep,' but Naruto paid it no mind.

Well, then, Naruto, it's time for your Death Knighting.

"What?" Naruto asked, confused.

It meant that you will get Death Knight's armor, and will formally known as a full Death Knight.

"Thanks, Arthas-sensei." Naruto kneeled in front Arthas. Arthas stood up and held his sword.

Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, I, Arthas Menethil, Paladin of Lordaeron, Death Knight of the Scourge, and Lich King of the Undead, dub you as a full Death Knight. Arthas did the thing that kings/queens do to their knights. You know the knighting thing.

"Thank you, Arthas Menethil. I, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, accept the position of full Death Knight." A blue glow covered Naruto as Death Knight armor appeared on him. When the glow subsided, they saw Naruto in his Death Knight glory. He had the same armor of Arthas, heck, he even had his glowing eyes. "Wow, I look cool." Naruto's voice said, from within the helmet. Immediately, Naruto fell to one knee.

"Naruto!" Kushina went to him.

"Heh, I'm fine, okaa-san. Just tired. Maybe a week or two of resting would work." Naruto said, while turning to Alexandros, who nodded.

You deserve it, son of Kushina. Go, take your rest.

"Thanks." He disappeared from his mindscape.

Impressive boy, isn't he, Arthas?

Yes, he is. To progress this far, it's almost impossible.

Naruto opened his eyes to see the table, filled with his 'almighty' ramen, with Kyuubi eating off on of it.

"Welcome back, Naruto-sama, or should I say, Death Knight-sama?" Kyuubi said, with a smile.

"Just Naruto will be fine." Naruto waved it off. Kyuubi giggled.

"Time to eat, Naruto-sama." Naruto quickly obliged. In almost 58 seconds, he finished the whole ramen, besides the ones for Kyuubi.

"Timetogo,seeyaKyuubi-chan,bye!" Naruto said in quick succession, before leaving. Kyuubi sighed and giggled.

"Even after all that training, he still has energy left."

"What are you doing-" A slice was heard, afterwards.

"HEL-" Another slice was heard.

"Another one for the cause." The killer said, as his eyes, which displayed a red background with three black tomoes on it, changed to a black shuriken-like shape in his eye with a red background. "Mangekyo Sharingan."

Naruto was currently walking around Konoha, specifically the Uchiha district, when he heard screams.

Huh? Screams? From the Uchiha compound? Naruto thought. I better go in and investigate.

Wait...you should put on your Death Knight Armor. Just in case.

Great, thanks. Blue smoke covered Naruto and when it cleared it showed Naruto in all his Death Knightly glory.

With that, he ran inside.

Mikoto can't believe what she was seeing. His eldest son, Uchiha Itachi, was killing his own clan, and just killed his father.

"Itachi! Why are you doing this?" Mikoto asked his son. Itachi looked at her, Sharingan blazing.

"To rid Konoha of this power-hungry clan...and to test my limits." Itachi replied, with an emotionless tone.

"'Power-hungry?' 'Limits?' What are you talking about?"

"It's not my place nor choice to tell you, mother." Itachi slowly walked to her.

Naruto kept running from one area to another. He kept finding dead bodies.

Damn it! Where is a live Uchiha when you need it?

"Maybe, Miko-chan is still alive around here. Go find the clan head area, sochi." Kushina told her son. She couldn't afford to lose her friend from the Uchiha clan.

"If I'm correct, I left a Hiraishin seal on Fugaku, once. I hope it's still there." Minato suggested.

Hai, okaa-san, otou-san.

With that, Naruto sped off towards the clan head area, disappearing in a yellow...black blur.

Itachi was slowly raising his sword, to kill his mother. Mikoto accepted her fate and closed her eyes.

It was almost there...

*Clang!*

Mikoto opened her eyes and looked up, to see an armored man standing front of her, with his hand blocking Itachi's katana.

Itachi looked at the armored entity before him. He wore...well, armor, with furry outlines, skulls for kneecaps, and a helmet to hide his face.

"Who are you? You may very well be interfering with clan affairs." Itachi threatened, while activating his Sharingan.

I am a simple nobody...a nobody that will stop you from killing your family. The man replied.

"You say you are a nobody yet you will stop me? Very well, I will deal with you, first, before continuing my task." Itachi withdrew his sword and assumed his family's stance. "Come on."

Gladly. The man charged towards him. He aimed for his head with a left-hand punch. Itachi dodged it and thrust his sword to him. The man grabbed him using his right hand, spun it around, with Itachi in tow, and released it, making him go from the room to the great outside.

"Urgh!" Itachi grunted as he was sent away outside.

The man slowly walked to him.

Shall we continue?

Itachi stood up, and took another stance. "Brining me out here is a bad move. Out here, I can use my Katon jutsu's freely." Itachi made handsigns, and shouted, "Katon: Goukakyou no Jutsu (It's the Great Fireball Technique)!" Itachi breathed in something and blew. Out of his mouth came a fireball.

The man made his own handsigns, and shouted, "Suiton: Mizu Tama(8)!" The man took a breath and blew. Out of his mouth came a water ball (thus, Mizu Tama). It hit the Fireball and the whole area was covered in smoke. Itachi was on guard. He can't see where the armored man is. Wait...what? He can't see him anywhere? He looked left...nothing...right?...nothing...he checked up, down, everywhere. He is nowhere to be found.

Naruto, in his Death Knight armor, was well hidden from view. He also put on some 'Sharingan-blocking seals' to prevent Itachi from seeing him. After he found Itachi well away from his current position, he released an outburst of chakra.

Itachi felt it. The outburst of chakra. Damn! It would surely attract the attention of the Hokage. Well, better clean things up and leave, now.

Itachi said to no one, "I see what you are doing. It will surely work, but I will finish my job here and now. Farewell." Itachi disappeared to find his mother.

Kushina, in Naruto's mindscape, gasped.

"He's after Miko-chan!"

I won't let him. Naruto growled, before he disappeared in a yellow...well, black blur.

Mikoto was running from Itachi. She had been too transfixed with the battle that took place just a few minutes ago, outside. She reached for the door. Unfortunately, a hand stopped her from gripping the handle. It was Itachi.

"I'm afraid you won't be going anywhere, mother." Itachi said, with his Sharingan activated. He punched her in the gut, thus sending her back.

"Urgh!"

Itachi slowly walked to her, while taking out his sword.

Soon, the plague that destroys Konoha will be gone. Itachi thought as he swung down.

I'm not done with you yet!

The armored man was back again. He punched Itachi.

Itachi grunted in pain as he was sent back to the side of the room.

The man turned to Mikoto.

Go, fair maiden. Your time has not yet come.

Mikoto nodded and left, while resisting the urge to blush.

Itachi stood up. "Damn bastard! You're keeping me from my job." Itachi was about to charge when he felt a lot of chakra signatures entering the compound, one of them being his mother's. "Grrrrrr, can't believe this. I will be back, mongrel." Itachi used a smoke bomb and left.

Naruto, still in his Death Knight armor, went to Fugaku to check his pulse (not that it was helping!). Nothing, he is dead. He turned to the open hole at the wall, and went through it. He was about to leave when...

"Wait!"

Naruto turned to see the Sandaime Hokage, the clan heads, with Mikoto, and the ANBU running to him.

Well, it seems that my leave is one minute too late...no, wait, never too late at all. Heh, well, farewell. Naruto said, while turning.

"Wait! I would like to hear your name, sir!" Mikoto asked to Naruto (whom she didn't know that it was him). Naruto stopped in mid-step.

I'm afraid that I cannot speak my name, fair maiden. Mikoto blushed, while the others wondered why can't he say his name. At least, not yet. But I will tell you what I am known, for future references. I am the Death Knight of Konoha, Naruto started to turn around, I am the Paladin of the Hokage, Naruto achieved full 180, but he still has his eyes closed, I am...the Lich King! Naruto opened his eyes to show his glowing blue eyes. Only the Sandaime and the Hyuuga clan head, Hiashi, knew who he was, from the title, but didn't ask him to elaborate further.

"If that's what you want to be called, then, I see no reason for you to not be called that, Lich King-sama." The Sandaime said, while the others (exluding Hiashi) looked at him in shock.

"Hokage-sama! We can't just let him roam free! He might be an S-ranked missing-nin from other villages-"

If I am, then, shouldn't I have killed you already?

"Whatever! You might be-"

Don't sweat it. I'm not some S-ranked missing-nin. After all, I just started.

"There, you see? He's not even well known around here, so," The Sandaime turned to Naruto (still in Lich King armor), and said, "you can leave in peace."

Naruto bowed. I thank you for your kind consideration. Farewell. Naruto used an Ice Shunshin to leave.

The Sandaime turned to Mikoto, "Well, it seems you have a guardian angel around here somewhere, Mikoto." Mikoto nodded.

Naruto reappeared in front of the mansion, went inside, closed the door, and removed his Death Knight armor.

Once he entered the main room, he found Kyuubi laying down on the sofa. He went to her, and put a hand on her cheek.

"Heh, it seems all this tension led her to sleep." Naruto laughed. He carried her bridal style, brought her to her room, and lay her down on her bed. Then, he went to his own room, changed to his PJ's and lay down on his own bed. "Well, it's time for me to have my own sleep, good night, okaa-san, otou-san, Arthas-ojii-san, Alexandros-ojii-san, Kyuubi-chan."

He heard 5 'good nights' in return, though he could still see, in his mindscape, the tick mark on Arthas' head. He chuckled himself to sleep.

(5) Ranmaton: Yousobetsushori Bakuha: Chaos Style: Elemental Blast: it sends a some sort of spear to the enemy as the five main elements, Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, and Wind. There is also the Light/Dark Combination of the Chaos Style, which is to be revealed at the next chapter.
