A/N: Welcome back to The Butcher of Konoha
This chapter will finally reveal what Naruto did to earn him a spot in Prison as well as what he did to get the nickname. Some of you have no doubt guessed it, but it will be much… gorier than what you no doubt envisioned it.
That being said, this chapter will have some pretty graphic scenes. I will make it so that you can skip it if you don't feel up to reading the part.
Also, to understand some of this chapter, you will have to read up to Chapter 618 of Naruto
Chapter 4: Madara
Naruto walked home from the Uchiha district, pausing to grab some groceries. He was in the mood for some steak, and damn it he was getting some damned steak. On his way home, he grabbed an apple from his bag and began to eat it.
Naruto paused as he got home and saw something that set him on edge.
Naruto was paranoid, insanity would do that to someone, plus his stint in prison taught him that others wouldn't hesitate to enter his cell or home and try to catch him off guard before attempting to kill him. Naruto's reaction to this was to create a seal that registered his chakra signature. If he didn't pull it off, it would leave this broken seal on his door. It gave him time to prepare.
And the seal was broken on his front door.
Naruto shifted the bags and reached behind him. The chain of the Kusarigama slid through his hand and the sickle touched the floor. Naruto then opened the door, balancing the groceries to do so. The slight click told him that the door wouldn't get damaged so he kicked it open. Naruto stepped in, ready to swing the chain of his lethal weapon at a moment's notice.
What he was not expecting, was Hinata standing in his kitchen humming while she worked, turning as she heard the bang of the door being kicked open, her hands clutching her chest. "Naruto-kun?" she asked a little worried.
Naruto held back the desire to attack, pushing it back into its hole as he closed the door with his foot and put his Kusarigama down. "You know, from what I understand, you're breaking and entering." Naruto said entering the kitchen and setting the bag on the counter. He could see rice cooking in the steamer, and he could smell the garlic and herbs cooking with the chicken that Hinata was cooking. She was slicing up some green peppers from the looks of things.
Seemed steak would have to wait until tomorrow.
"I'm sorry Naruto-kun… I… I wanted to have a meal for you when you got home." Hinata said softly, bowing her head a bit. "I… I wasn't really thinking. I'll go…"
Ah hell… "No, wait." Naruto said and touched her hand, "Don't go." He said and watched her look hopeful. Damn. "You went through the effort to start some dinner, go ahead and finish it." Naruto said and watched as Hinata began to continue her efforts.
Naruto watched the woman for a moment, standing to her left. On one hand, Naruto was getting visions of her bloody and violent death. On the other, he couldn't drive the memories of their date and their dance from his skull and the two factions were at war with one another.
"After Kiba-kun's party, I filed a divorce with Itachi." Hinata said suddenly, surprising Naruto when she turned to look at him. "We're divorced in every way possible since yesterday, though we have been keeping that fact a little low key."
Naruto mused the idea for a bit, leaning against the wall a bit more. He tried to stomp down the hopeful little side of him. It was rather therapeutic to act like he was stomping on his younger self. He was more twisted than he realized.
Hinata bit her bottom lip a second. "I want to be with you Naruto-kun." She said stepping towards him carefully. She had set the knife down and she brushed her hands against her pants a bit. She was closer and despite the smell of sake and the fact he hadn't gotten a shower properly since he left to fight Sasuke, she could still smell the underlying scent of him.
There was a sharp scent of cinnamon, a faint smell of ramen, and a small dash of what smelled like cedar wood. The cinnamon was mostly dominant, and she could tell and it made her want to bite into him. Hinata was craving cinnamon buns again, and Naruto always smelled a little like them. It contributed to some of her… dirtier dreams.
Naruto watched as Hinata bit her lower lip and began to trail her eyes over his chest, his shirt opened because he was hot. It was like she was thinking something much dirtier than what he would have put with the girl. Who would have thought that Hinata had a bit of a perverted streak?
Naruto allowed Hinata to look him over for a little while, not at all disturbed by it, why should he be after all? She was officially single and available and had long since claimed to like him, even if it wasn't in a sexual way. After a while though, he spoke up. "I need to go get a shower while you finish the food." Naruto said.
Hinata's mind was still roving over all the dirty possibilities, thinking of the sticky frosting of the cinnamon buns and what that could mean with her current interest. When he spoke up, she barely heard him. "Oh... food, yes…" Hinata said suddenly blushing quite brightly as she turned to continue working on the chicken.
Naruto chuckled a little bit before turning and heading away to go to his bathroom, he started the shower and made the water as hot as he possibly could and stepped under the scalding water. With the water rushing over his skin, easing the taunt muscles he leaned against the side of the side of the shower, his eyes closed as he just let the water roll over him. He then began to wash up, and he stepped out when he was done.
He ignored the mirror, no doubt Kurama would still want to talk with him and personally the blonde didn't feel like dealing with the fox at the moment. Naruto dressed rather quickly, a pair of blue pants and a tight black shirt before walking out and seeing Hinata's hips swaying back and forth. He noticed the lack of her jacket and he could tell she had filled out into an hour glass shape rather well. The blonde licked his lips as thoughts played in his mind. How easy it would be to bend her over and take her, right over the counter. His hips would push against that round ass over and over and she would no doubt moan so thoroughly and loudly.
Hinata paused as she was hit by a strong scent of cinnamon and turned to see Naruto staring at her, and she could see a lust in his eyes pass by rather quickly before fading away. Something inside of her tightened at the thought and she saw Naruto's wet hair clinging against his shoulders. Him just standing there, his scent strong from no doubt the body wash he used, it was making her own lust build up, a lust for him that had matured from her small crush.
She remembered the deep seated desire she had felt after their dance. After wards, she had gone home to take care of her own needs, needs that had sprung up over the years and she had to take care of with her own hands.
Hinata then cursed as she turned back to the chicken she was cooking and made sure it wouldn't burn. She gave a small sound as she felt two large hands touch her on the hips and she practically made a mewling sound as she felt him slide his hands back and forth, squeezing some. She could feel his head at the crook of her neck and she could almost picture him behind her. "N-Naruto-kun?" she asked, the slight stutter from a slight hint of fear of something less desirable than the blonde's hands on her hips.
Naruto closed his eyes as he held Hinata by her hips and his head was at her neck, almost inhaling the scent along her pale skin. Kami, it was hard to focus on anything but Hinata. His voice came out a little thicker, raspier than before as he spoke in her ear. 'I want you." He all but growled out to her. "I desire you and I want your scent covering my sheets." he told the dark haired woman.
Something tightened in Hinata as he said those words and she could feel her desire flare to life. Kami, it would be all too easy to say yes, to be naked in his bed and no doubt screaming out his name in purest pleasure. She leaned back against him a bit, feeling her hair brush against his chest a bit as she did so. "And if I said yes?" she whispered softly. "I don't want to be a one-night stand for you Naruto-kun." She said to the blonde.
Naruto suppressed the growl from coming to his throat at the thought of her being a one-night stand. How was it that this little woman in front of him had broken through all of his mental defenses around his heart and wormed her way back into it? How was it that she could push back Kurama when he was unable to? Dare he say yes? Dare he try and make it work between the two? Or did he find himself too far gone to actually give it a shot? Such a complicated problem!
He pulled back with a sound close to a snarl and punched the heavy metal refrigerator denting the metal as he did so. "Damn it! Pull yourself together Naruto!" he yelled at himself, and Hinata watched with wide eyes.
"Naruto-kun?" She asked and stepped forward, laying her hand on his arm. "Please… I know you're stronger than this.' She whispered and slid her arms around him, purposely pinning one of his arms, even if he wouldn't think about it.
"I don't know Hinata." Naruto said flatly and simply, finally voicing the worries that plagued him most. 'I don't know if I'm sane enough to have a decent relationship, I don't know just how far gone I am anymore, all I know is I'm completely out of my own control." He said softly, feeling her soft hands rub up and down his ribs.
Hinata bit her bottom lip a second before pulling her arms away. The wince the blonde made almost broke her heart, almost like the lack of her touch scalded him more than boiling water. But she had a reason, she reached up and cupped both sides of his now emotionless face and pulled him down to match her shorter height and kissed him full on the lips. Unlike the last time that she had kissed him, Hinata kissed him much more fully this time, drawing his lower lip between her own and sliding her arms around his neck a bit more.
Naruto stiffened a bit as he felt Hinata kiss him so fully, with passion and desire and for once he felt like he was desired. He felt like he was wanted and… claimed. He practically melted into the kiss and his eyes fell close as he began to return the kiss, his hands wrapping around Hinata's waist and grabbing her backside. He lifted her into the air and felt her wrap her legs around his waist, with her now being a little higher than he was, allowing the kiss to deepen a great deal. Her tongue brushed over his lower lip and he parted his lips, the taste of Hinata driving his desire to new heights.
Hinata moaned at the taste of the blonde and at the feeling of his strong hands gripping her backside, her legs would keep her from falling and his hands were just there as additional support. Her tongue was slowly worked into almost a state of submission as Naruto worked his tongue over her own, teasing her senseless. It had been a bold move, a move that required all of her courage, kissing him like she had done. But it was so worth it, feeling him kiss the way he was. She pulled back and panted a bit. "Food first, bed second." She whispered to the blonde. "And you will then take me on a proper date Uzumaki Naruto." She said with a hint of authority, figuring it might help her blonde out.
Naruto chuckled a bit. "Food first, bed second." He agreed and gave a bit of a smirk. "Then we have a real date, Friday at six with both of us looking like ourselves." He said with a low growl. For her, he would make it work. There was no try, there was only do or do not. He then slowly set her down and he looked to her swollen lip from the intensity of their kiss. He leaned down and kissed her, initiating it himself this time and he heard her moan into the kiss before he pulled away. She gave a pout that he thought was utterly adorable on her. "Food Hyuuga Hinata, food before we get to the fun part. You'll need all the energy you can get to keep up with me." He told her
Hinata felt a shiver run through her at the promise of the blonde man standing in front of her. "I'll keep you to that Uzumaki Naruto." She said and turned away, moving towards the chicken to keep cooking. Though, this time she swayed her hips a bit more, giving the blonde a show. She couldn't believe how bold she felt! She felt… sexy!
Naruto's eyes were drawn to Hinata's swaying hips, no doubt like she had intended for him to do. He inhaled slowly, in through the nose and out through the mouth. He was riled up, and he wanted Hinata with a burning passion that demanded he take her, over and over until she couldn't move anymore. But he was forcing it down, forcing it down for Hinata at the moment. She deserved better than to be rutted in the kitchen for her first time
After a while, she dished out the food onto two plates and handed him one. They ate standing up. Neither of them wanted to let the other out of their sight for a moment.
"She is using you Naruto. She is trying to be the leash that binds you to the village. Do not fall for her tempting ways, use her and then throw her out of your home."
Looking at them, he threw them away before grabbing another set and trying again, ignoring the worried and questioning look from Hinata.
"Is it Kurama?" Hinata asked a little worried, setting her plate on the counter.
Naruto grit his teeth a bit. "Yes, Kurama was talking to me." He said simply.
"Has he always talked with you?" Hinata asked, stepping closer and touching his chest.
"No, only after the retrieval mission eighteen years ago was he able to talk to me. He steadily was able to do more and more but he cannot control my actions." Naruto said softly, feeling the small delicate hand on his chest.
"What did he say?" Hinata asked, stepping into Naruto's arms, watching the blonde put his plate down on the counter as well.
"That you're trying to leash me to the village.' Naruto said with a touch more venom than he intended. Perhaps it was his way of trying to test Hinata. Would he push her away because he was unsure if she was loyal more to her village or to him? Was that what he subconsciously desired so he wouldn't have to break through his insanity?
Hinata shook her head, kissing his chest through the cotton of his shirt. "If you wanted to leave, I would be the first of many to go with you. I love you too much to try and do otherwise. I've always loved you Naruto-kun, perhaps at first it was only a crush, but over the years it has only grown to be love." She told him
"She lies!" Kurama hissed inside of his mind, making Naruto wince. "Sate your bodily lust, sate you curiosity of what the little wench is like and then throw her away. You do not need her, you do not want her! She will only get in the way of your revenge!"
Naruto clutched his head as the pain filled him. 'No!' Naruto shouted back at the fox. 'I am in control of myself. If I want to indulge in what it is like to be normal for a change, then that is my decision. I will not hesitate when it comes to running Obito through, or Madara for that matter. If I could, I'd run Senju Hashirama through as well, just to sate your bloodlust. You WILL allow me this Kurama!'
'You are pushing things boy! You WILL take a more respectful tone with me or all bets are off.'
'Why are you so against this Kurama? I wish to indulge myself once in a while without you muttering bloody thoughts into my skull! I will not hesitate and your continued lack of faith is beginning to grate on my nerves!'
'Foolish boy! Remember who and what you are!'
Naruto's eyes widened and memories began to flash in his mind before he slumped forward, Hinata unable to keep him up as his body went limp. His head hit the hard tile of the kitchen, and he was in his own nightmarish Hell of memories.
Hinata gasped, watching Naruto go down and she stooped down and touched his pulse. Her heart was racing as she felt the large pulse in Naruto's neck. She grabbed her coat and folded it up, propping his feet up with it. She wasn't sure if the blonde was going into shock, but she needed some mental specialist for help first before she could make an accurate estimate of what was wrong.
Hinata bolted from Naruto's house, channeling chakra into her legs to let her run. She raced into the Akimichi clan compound and knocked on Choji's door, hard and fast.
Choji opened the door quick his spear in one hand at the ready. "Hinata? What's wrong?" he asked.
"I need Ino-san and Inoichi-sama, quick! Naruto-kun just fell and I think he was conversing with the Kyuubi when it happened." Hinata said
Ino came out. "I'll go over to Naruto's house; you go back to the Yamanaka compound and find my dad." Ino then ran off heading towards Naruto's house.
Hinata turned on her heel and raced towards the Yamanaka compound, it wasn't far. Literally she hopped over the south wall of the Akimichi compound and she was there. She raced around, using her Byakugan to find Inoichi. "Inoichi-sama, Naruto-kun fell and I think he was conversing with the Kyuubi when it happened." She said when she found the older blonde.
Inoichi let off a loud curse before bolting out of the dojo and heading towards the blonde's house with Hinata racing beside him. They made it there fairly quickly to see Ino doing a basic Yamanaka clan Jutsu. "He's just reliving his memories," she reported to her father. "I haven't dived in yet, but I can tell they won't be good."
Inoichi stepped up. "Don't Ino, those memories you don't need to see. I've got this, I have a feeling I know which memories they are." He flew through the hand signs and entered the blonde Jinchuuriki's mind
Naruto sat up in the hospital bed panting heavily, sweat dripped from his forehead. Bags were under his eyes, he hadn't been able to sleep properly since the Kyuubi had started to give him those dark visions of blood and gore.
Naruto put his hands to his face and cried softly, he didn't want to hurt his friends. They were his family. It would be like cutting off his arm. Maybe he was a monster… "No… I can't be." He said softly. "I've seen the Kyuubi."
"Hey Gaki, you're awake." Tsunade's voice entered the room and Naruto immediately wiped his face a bit and offered the older blonde a smile. "What's wrong Naruto?" she asked, not fooled at all by the boy's smile.
Naruto winced a bit. "Just a bad dream, it keeps happening over and over. Nothing major, I'm sure it will pass." He said
Tsunade nodded, the boy wasn't lying to her at least as far as she could tell. "Alright, today you should be able to get out of here." She said and ran a scan of his body. "Yep, you're as healthy as a horse." It wasn't a Friday, and Friday wasn't for another few days, giving her more time to try and get the boy some protection from the sharks on the Civilian Council.
Naruto smiled some and got up and quickly changed. "See you Baa-chan!" he shouted before heading out the window, much to the older blonde's ire.
Naruto then headed off to the training fields to start working on the various Jutsu he had gotten. Of course, the various Earth Release Jutsu he got where a pain in the ass, but it gave him something to do and he also began to work on more seals. He finally had stuff to do!
By Thursday, Naruto was able to perform all of his Jutsu and had advanced in his studies of seals quite a bit. Over the nights, the Kyuubi's images were more and more twisted, driving Naruto to the brink of insanity. He teetered on the edge of things.
Then, Thursday afternoon, Naruto found himself tired and the Kyuubi struck once more. Instead of sending images of his friends being murdered, each, and every one, of the twelve civilian council members were slaughtered around him. 'Make them pay; kill them before they can send you to Prison. Go on your terms, not theirs.' The words circulated in his head over and over again.
Naruto woke in the night and he was in a bit of a cold sweat. However… he felt like he had found an answer to get rid of those visions. He had to kill.
Naruto's mind whirled at the possible scenarios, and it was the only thing he could come up with. He had to kill them; they were nothing to him, No one to him. Who were they to dictate his life? Naruto immediately began to brainstorm. He had the tools, and he had the will, the hatred for them.
Instantly, Naruto summoned over a hundred clones around Konoha and they began to use the Hiding in Mist Jutsu, blanketing the entire village in a thick mist that not even the Byakugan was able to see through.
While they went and rounded up the party guests, Naruto grabbed the supplies from around his apartment, and what he didn't have it wasn't hard to break into a store and steal it.
It was close to midnight when he started, standing in the midst of eleven chairs around him filled with figures. One fat figure was hanging upside down from his ankles. Naruto turned on some flood lights. Seals had been placed all around the room, silencing seals, scent removers, everything he could think of. He wasn't going to be caught just yet.
Naruto went to the one figure and smacked him in the face, his eyes opening as eleven clones followed the example, awakening all twelve members of the civilian council.
(A/N: This is where it gets to be really dark, really gruesome, and downright evil. If you don't think you can handle it, use the Ctrl and F keys at the same time and in the search bar, look for the second line of 'X's.))

Naruto smirked a bit at the sight of Denbe's eyes widening before narrowing into a glare. "What are you doing Demon?" the man asked before he noticed he was upside down. "What have you done to me?" he asked.
Naruto chuckled and spun the fat man around, letting him see his fellow council members. "What I'm doing is playing by my rules. What I've done… oh nothing much… yet." Naruto watched his clones slap a seal onto the back of the neck of all of the other council members. "I've only kidnapped the other eleven members, stripped you of your clothes and tied you upside down in your basement." Naruto then slapped a seal onto Denbe's neck. "And now I've put a special seal on you." He spun Denbe around to face him again and squatted down to look in the man's eyes.
"What have you done to me? Why can't I move?" Denbe asked, trying to move his body from his neck down.
"That seal I used, was outlawed by the Daimyo during the First Shinobi War. Basically, it will keep your body from going into shock and dying while at the same time letting your entire body feel as much pain as I can inflict." Naruto then punched Denbe, breaking his ribs. "It took me a while to get it right, but I think I managed quite well. An old enough sealing book still has the design but not all the characters used"
Denbe coughed, unable to stop the natural reaction to having the heavy blow done by the blonde. "You'll pay for this Demon. When I get done…"
"Oh but you won't." Naruto said with a lot of glee as he moved away to a prepared table. He unfolded the cloth, showing a lot of rather random tools. "I'm going to kill you; I'm going to kill all of you." Naruto said with a smirk as he grabbed a rather sharp looking Kunai and walked over to Denbe. "Starting with you to prove my point.' He said and ran the kunai up and down Denbe's chest, keeping it from cutting him. "Oh, and the seal I used will keep you from soiling yourself as well, so we won't have that nasty little problem."
"Then do it!" Denbe said with as much bravado he could pull off. Maybe he could get Naruto to back down, make him realize that what he was doing was stupid.
Naruto chuckled. "I plan to." He said simply and moved away. "But that Kunai is too good for you. No, you deserve a Demon's Kunai." Naruto picked up another kunai from the table, watching Denbe's eyes widen. "Oh you recognize it, good." Naruto was holding a bent, rusted and dull kunai that had its tip broken off. It was completely worthless, barely even able to cut his finger. Barely, but still possible. "It was the first kunai I ever bought, at over five times the normal price, at your store Denbe."
Naruto then picked up a blue cylinder of flammable gas. He then used the Shadow Clone Technique, summoning five more clones. Naruto walked forward with his clones surrounding Denbe. "We're going to start by skinning you Denbe." Naruto said and heated up his kunai after sparking the gas. Using the heated kunai, he began to cut open Denbe's stomach, making the fat man scream as his five clones also helped, starting with his legs. Blood spilled over them, and sometimes the blood splattered over on the rest of the council.
Denbe's screams were sweet music to Naruto's ears for thirty minutes while he and his clones diligently worked, skinning the bastard up to his waist. Naruto then slapped a sealing tag over the man's mouth, silencing him completely, but his face told the story.
The man was in agonizing pain and was unable to do anything about it.
When the man's head was all that was left to skin, blood dripping down onto the floor and Naruto's face was a mask of crimson, Naruto decided to kill the man, slitting his open throat and letting the blood splatter all over the place.
Naruto wiped his face and ran the hand through his hair, streaking it with red. He chuckled and watched as his clones moved Denbe away. "Let's see here… who's next…" he said and looked around before his eyes settled on the only female.
He then passed over her, deciding to have something special done to her.
Naruto then grabbed another member, one of the skinnier members and hefted him up onto the hook Denbe was on so the man's hands were over his head. "Higashi Daisuke…" Naruto smirked a bit and went over to the table, dropping the empty gas canister and the bloody kunai. He then grabbed a screwdriver and a set of screws before walking back over. "Let's have some fun Higashi-san." Naruto said.
Daisuke closed his eyes, knowing he had overcharged the blonde construction things like screws, screwdrivers, nails, hammers, and other stuff to fix Naruto's home after it had been vandalized, vandalism that he had paid for using the money he got from the blonde, well part of it at least. "Do your worst." He said.
Naruto grinned and put the first screw at the shoulder joint. "I plan to." He said using the screw driver and screwing the screw into the man's shoulder joint, forcing the joint to dislocate in a bloody manner with the man letting out a scream of agony as blood squirted out at Naruto.
The blonde then began to screw more into the various joints, even popping off Daisuke's knee cap with the flat head screw driver. The civilian council got even more bloodied, but Naruto was getting coated in the blood, his clothes getting soaked in it.
Naruto began to force the screws into the man's spine, stretching it and popping it violently. The screw into the various parts of the brain, popping the immobile joints of the skull made the man scream even more. Naruto then jammed the screw driver into the man's heart; it had taken an hour for him to get all the big joints.
The five clones then took another body to be beside Denbe.
The civilian council began to understand the situation they were in; there was no escaping, not until death took them. All because of Konoha's most hated Jinchuuriki.
The next morning, the thick fog still laid over Konoha, forcing a lot of commerce to slow down. The Council was at the tower in a meeting, wondering where the Civilian Council was.
The fog began to lift a little when a figure landed in front of the tower. He drew his left hand back and threw a kunai forward, embedding it in the Hokage Tower, activating the security seals that alerted the Hokage and her ANBU. In an instant, Tsunade and three squads of ANBU plus the Clan Heads and Elder Council were in front of the tower, ready to fight.
Instead of an enemy, like they were expecting, one figure was in the thinning mist. Tsume gasped as she was hit with the full scent of blood and was queasy. Even Tsunade began to tremble a little bit, but tried to get it under control.
As the mist thinned more, they saw Uzumaki Naruto, standing there with a bloody and dripping kunai in his right hand and coated from head to toe in blood, the crimson fluid staining his hair even. Naruto looked to the kunai in his right hand for a second before dropping it and kicking it away with his foot. He offered a grin and held up both hands, as though expecting to be cuffed. "Sorry, I didn't exactly have a whole lot of time to bathe." He said.
"Naruto, if this is some sick joke, I'm not laughing." Tsunade said, stepping forward a bit.
Naruto chuckled a bit. "It's no joke Baa-chan." He said.
"Tsunade-sama… I'm picking up a dozen different scents from him, at least." Tsume said, shaking a bit with Kuromaru stepping beside her. "The scents of the civilian council at that."
"Naruto… what did you do?" Tsunade asked, her eyes trying to find what the blonde had been hiding.
Naruto raised his head up and his grin widened to almost sadistic levels as he began to hum a slow, low tune. The mist thinned more, as though on command, and upon the spikes of the head of the Yondaime Hokage, the civilian council swung, hung up by ninja wire.
Hiashi quickly activated his Byakugan. "None of them are alive…" he whispered, his eyes widened with fear for a moment. His usual stoicism was broken by the sheer depravity of what the blonde had done.
"Konoha Clause 7, Article 48 states that if a criminal willingly gives himself up that he or she is unable to be attacked or killed until a proper punishment is found, fitting the crimes." Naruto said gaining the attention of the older Shinobi in front of himself. It was one of the laws that made Konoha seem weak to other villages. Naruto held his hands up once more, grinning some more.
Naruto was cuffed by one of the ANBU who was shaking despite their anonymity behind their mask. Naruto could tell that many of them wanted to just kill him, to just end whatever nightmare they were in. Even Danzo, so known for his stoicism that rivaled a Hyuuga's, was obviously very shaken about what happened.
He was led into the tower, Naruto humming the entire way, and the meeting that day ended up being a trial. Naruto didn't even try to excuse his actions; he said he had done it with pleasure. He didn't claim insanity; he didn't claim a Genjutsu was on him. He even let Inoichi dive into his head to see the truth, so long as Inoichi didn't go past eight hours into the blonde's memories
Inoichi had come out moments later and passed out, unable to fight the Kyuubi who Naruto unleashed on the man for trying to go past eight hours.
"We're going to need a report about what you did to each of them." Tsunade said, wincing as she didn't want to hear the younger brother figure talk about what he had done.
Naruto grinned. "Sure thing Baa-chan." He told her and leaned back a little bit.
He went into detail; he had taken two of the civilian members and slit their Achilles tendons on both sides. Then he told the two civilians to fight, fight to the death in front of everyone. The winner would get a rather short, quick death. It wouldn't be particularly painless, but it would be better than anything else he had planned.
Naruto went into great detail how the two had flopped around like a fish out of water, trying to hurt the other. One managed to bash the head of the other in, something that Naruto grinned more at, showing just how depraved he was as he went into detail of how the brains splattered all over the place.
Naruto then told the council how the supposed 'victor' ended up getting meat hooks through his hamstrings, stringing him up over a fire that slow cooked the man for a few hours. Naruto said the real victor had been the one to die
Naruto then kept going into detail over all the deaths, all twelve deaths. But death number twelve had been his pride and joy. He laughed as he went into detail about it.
He had served the female council member the meat of the cooked man, telling her he had laced the meat with a massive amount of cyanide, enough to kill her in a just a few minutes so long as she ate all the meat. She had gorged herself on the meat; enough that she puked it up, unable to keep it all down. Even the other members of the civilian council, still alive when he had fed her the meat, could only stare with disgust and a hint of envy that she was getting a quick death
Naruto laughed when he told the councils that there hadn't been any cyanide in the meat, and that she had just cannibalized one of her fellow civilian council members for nothing. He then left her alone, unable to throw up when he re-sealed her. He had left her for last, and simply snapped her neck when he let her realize the full extent of her actions.
The council convicted Naruto the same day, when Inoichi was able to awaken and say he had been able to tell Naruto had been sane at the time.
Naruto hummed as he walked out of the council room, the councils arguing about the fact they couldn't transfer the Kyuubi. Not with Akatsuki and with Naruto being the only Uzumaki. They were forced into the blonde's hands; they would have to keep him alive until the Akatsuki threat blew over.
As Naruto was escorted through Konoha, he began to hum once more, the civilians who had already heard what happened could only stare and at the low tune, a tune that threatened evil, they shivered and moved away. They would have cheered that the Demon was finally being put behind bars where he wouldn't be a threat, but to finally be put behind bars he had butchered the Civilian Council.
"Monster!" someone shouted at the blonde.
"Demon!"
"Murderer!"
"Butcher!"
Naruto turned his head at the person who said the last one, pausing and forcing his ANBU escort to halt as well. He gave them a sadistic grin. "Why thank you, I am a Butcher." He said before beginning to carry on, walking slow and steadily with his sadistic grin.
As he was taken into the prison and moved through processing, he continued his humming, noticing people watching the new meat. But with Naruto still caked in dried sticky blood, they decided to give him a wide berth as the ANBU were moving him to his cell.
"You owe me Haichi, and I want my smokes." A big man grabbed a smaller inmate, though the other man wasn't that small.
Naruto paused in his walk, forcing the ANBU to pause as well. "Who's that? The big one?" he asked looking to the yard to see the confrontation.
"That's Nadare Ketsueki; he's the Bloody Avalanche of Iwa. The only man from Iwa to claim that he injured the Yondaime Hokage." One of the ANBU said, answering the blonde's question. "He's also the undisputed boss of the prisoners, so give him a wide berth. Please Naruto."
Naruto glanced back at the woman ANBU in a Neko mask. Her purple hair reminded him of someone, and he looked back to the Prisoners. He drove his elbows back into their sternums and then rushed over, head low and his hair covering his eyes.
The ANBU were faster with their chakra than the blonde was without. But they were winded, his elbows striking rather hard.
Ketsueki noticed the blonde charging him and the bald man moved his hand back, telling the others to stay away. He pulled a metal shiv out, just a piece of flat sharpened metal with a boot lace wrapped around the handle for grip. He tried to stab the blonde as he got close.
Naruto was unpredictable and wild, untamable like the wind. He ducked under the stab, feeling it pass harmlessly through his hair before he sprang up and drove his knee into Ketsueki's jaw while at the same time he drove his thumbs into the man's eyes, feeling the soft organs squish.
Naruto landed with the big man and began to punch with everything he had into the man's head, a thick wet thud being heard over and over as Naruto drove the man's head into the concrete. There was no hesitation, no mercy.
Naruto was soon pulled off, hauled up by the two ANBU, but the damage was done. In under a minute, Naruto had caved in the Bloody Avalanche's head, blood, bone and thicker things splattered all over the place. A thick piece of gore slowly slid down Naruto's cheek and he began to grin a bit, humming once more.
"I am Uzumaki Naruto! I am the new boss! I have one rule: DO NOT FUCK WITH UZUMAKI NARUTO!" he shouted as he was pulled away by the ANBU and the prison guards, leading him away to Solitary Confinement.
Once locked away into the darkness that was Solitary, Naruto leaned against the cold stone wall and found solace in the fact that for once in two weeks; he was alone to his thoughts. He closed his eyes and went to sleep. It was the most peaceful sleep he had in weeks. No images of blood and gore, no images of his friends dying.
He was happy.
Two weeks passed and he got a visitor, something that surprised him. He saw the worried honey brown eyes of the blonde Hokage and he offered a grin and a wave. He saw her give a shudder, no doubt reacting to the last time he offered a similar grin. "Hey Gaki, how are you doing?" Tsunade asked.
Naruto shrugged a bit. Despite being in Solitary Confinement for the last two weeks, he was doing better actually. During the first week, the powerful seals that dampened the prisoner's chakra were lowered. If they didn't have a twenty four hour release of their chakra, the inmates could literally become walking time bombs. And given their amount of chakra usually, they chose not to have them explode and free even more prisoners.
The Kyuubi had made another appearance during that time, only this time it had helped. Naruto was starting to break because of the Confinement, but the Kyuubi had come up with a plan, an offer, that benefited them both. Naruto would have unrestricted access to his chakra, and the Kyuubi would be allowed to converse with the blonde. They would then use their new found freedom and become a powerful Ninja while hiding who they were.
During the times Naruto was stuck in Solitary he would get someone to talk to and keep his sanity.
"I'm doing pretty well, I'm not so tired. The bad dreams I was having passed." Naruto said and gave her another grin. "So how's the paperwork Baa-chan."
"Massive, no thanks to you." Tsunade said, her eyebrow twitching a bit at the thought of all the paperwork the blonde's actions had caused. Her features softened a bit. "Naruto, we have reason to believe the Kyuubi is behind this. Just tell us, and we'll tighten the seal, make it so the beast can't influence you. You could get away from your life sentence." She didn't want to put the blonde behind bars. Hell, Danzo had admitted he'd rather have Naruto be a civilian than be behind bars.
"NO!" Naruto shouted, pounding the table between them, denting it as he stood up.
Tsunade stared at the blonde; he had dented a metal table. "Naruto?" she asked softly.
"No, please." He said softer, sitting down and calming himself down a bit. "I… I, I almost broke in solitary Confinement. No light… no fresh air… the rats and roaches crawling all over me…" Naruto shuddered and drew himself up into a ball a little bit as best as he could with all the chains around his body.
Tsunade's face schooled the emotions she was feeling. She could barely think about how Naruto had felt, she didn't understand. How could she understand his situation?
"But the Kyuubi… he… he helped me through it, talked to me while I was in Solitary after the first few days. Even with our Chakra suppressed, he's able to talk to me." A small lie, "He helped me stay sane through the darkness. Please Baa-chan; please don't take that away from me. I won't survive if I have to go back to Solitary Confinement without him."
A tear rolled down from Tsunade's eyes and she wiped it away. "Okay Gaki, we won't seal the Kyuubi up. But if you ever change your mind, don't be afraid to get one of the guards to tell me or Jiraiya." Tsunade got up. "Despite the circumstances…" Tsunade said looking to the blonde. "Jiraiya and I are still proud of you. You showed advanced stealth abilities, able to hide the bodies from a village full of sensors for so long; you also outran two ANBU to get to a Jonin who you took apart in under a minute. We're not… happy you did what you did, but on a Shinobi Level, we are proud."
Naruto brightened a bit as he watched Tsunade walk away. He was always happy when his Precious People acknowledged him.
Over the next few months, Naruto trained hard and practiced what Taijutsu he could. During his time with Chakra, he would test various seals he had designed before selling them to Konoha, making profits on them and getting a bank manager to work with him.
It was into the sixth month of Naruto's reign that the first challenger appeared.
"Well, well, I had heard the Kyuubi Gaki was in here. Never would have thought I would have seen one of my old students once more."
Naruto looked up a bit to the face of Mizuki. The silver haired Chunin was quite the sight, being much more ripped than Naruto remembered him to be. His hair was also longer. "Mizuki-sensei, looks like prison has been good to you." Naruto said with a somewhat cheerful disposition before going back to his Expert Level book of seals.
"I can't believe a brat like you killed Ketsueki, he must have been slipping. No matter, I'll rectify the problem." Mizuki said stepping forward and drawing a shiv from his sleeve. It was a tooth brush, the handle sharpened into a point, it just needed to puncture through the blonde's sides and through the kidneys, or if Mizuki was feeling violent, go up under the rips for the heart.
Naruto looked down to Mizuki's shiv before standing up with a grin. His grin widened as Mizuki rushed forward.
The next morning, the prison guards found the Legendary Stupid Brothers sitting at a table, eating something with gusto. "Brother, the blonde gave us this tasty meat. I wonder what his secret is."
"Mm yes! We must ask Naruto-sama what his secret is; it's so tender and juicy." They grinned at one another before one of the guards felt something wet drip on his head. He looked up to a horrifying sight.
Mizuki's head and spine had been removed from his body; the legs were missing and the arms gone. The torso and the head were only held together by what looked to be Mizuki's intestine, wrapped around both parts and strung up over one of the metal beams.
A look of utter horror was etched onto the dead man's face, and would be that way forever.
The blonde walked out to the guard, carrying a bowl of something. "Oh, would you like some sir?" Naruto asked in an innocent manner.
The guard threw up when an eye rolled up from the fluid, almost staring at the man.
Naruto got three weeks in Solitary Confinement for that.
Another two and a half years passed after that and Naruto received a letter from Jiraiya. He sat in his cell reading it, not knowing it would change his life, and that Tsunade had released some of the information already to the populace of Konoha
'Dear Naruto, if you've received this, then it means I've died no doubt trying to get at the Akatsuki. First and foremost, I want to say I'm sorry. I should have been there more for you to teach and offer guidance. The truth of the matter is that I was a coward, a fool, and a failure. I took the easy way out instead of trying, and for that matter, I am terribly sorry. You looked so much like your father; I just couldn't stand to stay. I am your Godfather, and I cannot ever truly express how sorry I am for never being there for you. I also know that I will never be able to say Sorry enough and have it mean anything. Your father was Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage. Your mother was Uzumaki Kushina, a former ANBU Commander.
Second, I want to tell you that I have left everything in my name to you. The rights to Icha Icha, the Tales of the Utterly Gutsy Ninja, and all the seals I have made around Konoha. You are now rich, despite being in prison and I hope you take care of yourself with your newfound wealth.
Lastly, as my dying wish, I want you to grab Tsunade's breasts for me. I never got the chance, you, as my apprentice, must fulfill it!
Truly, Jiraiya the Ero-Sennin.'
Naruto's eyes watered a bit as he read the letter two times, a third time, and then something snapped inside of him. Something grew colder, harsher. Before he had an almost gleeful insanity, and now it had turned to be darker, something harsher, something cruel and evil.
Naruto turned his head to the two former Iwa Nin entering his cell. "So this is Namikaze's brat?" the bigger of the two asked.
Naruto stood up and tucked the note away before lowering his head, his bangs hanging in front of his eyes. He saw them both brandishing an actual kunai. He dashed forward, and grabbed the right arm of the closest one.
His palm struck the elbow, forcing the bone to snap and to pop out of the skin in a bloody manner. Naruto took the discarded kunai and sliced through the skin and yanked the severed arm away. He spun and drove the jagged and broken bones into the skull of the man before Naruto advanced on the other one.
His screams alerted the guards.
They rushed to the cell, only to find the blonde sitting in a mess of gore and blood and violence. The two Iwa Nin had their body parts scattered about the room, and no amount of searching would have come up with all the pieces.
Naruto stood up. "I'm going to Solitary Confinement." He said his voice lower and darker as he walked past the guards. "Clean up my room while I'm gone, but leave the fresh coat of paint."
"You don't give us orders Uzumaki." One of the newer guards said, trying to establish himself as being in control.
Naruto turned and glared at the man, his eyes focused with killing intent that promised utter pain. "You're cleaning the toilet. If it's not spotless when I get back, you'll be taking his spot."
Inside the toilet they found an Iwa Nin's body, stuffed and broken to fit in the bowl. Even then, his arms and legs were missing and never found.
"Get out Inoichi."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(A/N: all done with the most gruesome part. In summary, Naruto butchered the Civilian Council got sent to prison, killed the boss of the inmates, killed Mizuki, and killed two Iwa Nin all in such a violent and gory fashion.)
Inoichi quickly withdrew from Naruto's mind, he knew better than to stay when the blonde told him to get out. He watched as those cerulean blue eyes opened and Naruto looked up at Inoichi. The older man made to speak.
"You keep what you saw to yourself Inoichi." Naruto said, standing up and glancing around. He saw a worried looking Hinata and Ino there as well. Naruto ran a hand through his hair and sighed a bit. "What's the damage?"
Inoichi spoke up. "I'll prescribe some heavy dosage medication for dreamless sleep. I want you to rest, minimum of five days. I'd say we'd do therapy together, but I doubt you'll accept it, so I'll get you the medication."
Naruto nodded softly before moving past everyone and heading to his couch. He laid down on it, propping his feet up on the arm rest. Inoichi took this as a sign to leave and took Ino with him.
Hinata was worried; she wasn't sure what to do. She went over slowly, walking carefully so she didn't disturb the blonde on the couch. "Naruto-kun, will you be alright?" she asked.
Naruto didn't answer, not right away at least. He had his eyes closed and his arms crossed over his chest. "No. I won't be alright Hinata." He said softly. "I'm a monster, a Butcher, and I forgot that for a moment. I can't ever again. I'm insane on a level I can barely think of."
Naruto focused a bit inwardly. 'Sorry Kurama, I did get a little snippy with you. But I want this; give me this at least… please…"
'You are making a mistake Naruto. But I will give you what you desire. But when we are trapped once more, I will not help you until you have understood the full extent of your sins.'
Naruto sighed a bit, feeling Kurama's presence slip away. He could still smell Hinata's scent, and it soothed the beast he had become.
Hinata sat beside Naruto on the couch and she touched his chest with her hand. "I want to stay here... if you'll let me." Those cerulean blue eyes opened and he looked at Hinata for a while before nodding and watching as she stood up and went over to the mantle, something he had done long ago as well. "Naruto-kun, why are a few of these faced down?"
"Ero-Sennin said they were his greatest regrets in the world. I never looked at them, instead choosing not to know what that great man regretted." Naruto stood up and walked beside her for a second. He looked at the face down picture he had almost looked upon so long ago.
Naruto touched it and pulled it off the mantle before turning it over. He stared down at the picture and felt something clench inside of him. It was a younger Jiraiya, holding a small blonde bundle, with tears streaming down from his face. The blonde bundle also had three whisker like marks on each cheek. Naruto realized why this picture was face down.
Jiraiya couldn't bear to look upon it, knowing what he had given up.
Hinata watched as the blonde's eyes misted no doubt as much as he would cry over anything anymore. His tears had run out long ago. She wished she could soothe that pain for him. She gently took the picture from his hands and set it on the mantle and slipped into his arms. "Let's go to sleep Naruto-kun." She whispered.
Naruto barely heard her words but nodded and walked with her to the master bedroom. It was funny, this house had been his father's first… then his 'Master's', though to be fair Jiraiya never wanted to be called Master like most Sensei would require towards their apprentices. Naruto had been thankful for that; they were too informal with one another. Now though, now the house was his. Naruto stripped off his shirt and his pants, despite having put them on not that long ago. He did toss them over onto the vanity though, so he knew they were still clean.
Hinata bit her lip and suppressed her sexual desires at seeing the blonde in a pair of boxers. The orange was a bit funny, but her man was certainly ripped to a delectable level. She then paused a bit, realizing she was going to have to strip as well. She steeled her resolve, she wouldn't hesitate around Naruto. Hinata reached down and removed her mesh armored shirt. She had gotten tired of fishnet chafing her chest, so went to Hotaru's Threads to get something protective, supportive, and soft on her skin.
Next thing Naruto knew was he was hit by the strong scent of Lavenders and Vanilla, his head pushed forward by something with some weight to it. He reached up on his head and pulled Hinata's shirt from his head, her scent heavy on it. He then turned, just in time to catch her black pants in his arms.
Hinata was blushing, and she knew she had nothing bad to hide of her body, but she always thought she was too pale, too curvy, and she thought that Naruto might not like that she had a few scars on her body as well when things got too rough during training or missions. She looked down a bit, almost afraid.
Naruto lowered the pants and stared. Hinata was gorgeous in his eyes. Her skin, while pale, did have a healthy color to it. Her large breasts were supported by a black bra built for support rather than be aesthetically pleasing. Naruto's eyes roamed down along her stomach, light scars over her pale flesh, no doubt from training given the lack of depth to them. He made a mental note to also stomp Kiba into the ground for hurting her like that. His eyes moved to her wide hips, and he looked over the black boy shorts on her hips. Again, he noticed they were more for comfort and ease of mobility, flexibility, etc. than be pleasing to the eyes. Naruto noticed a few scars along her arms, and even a few on her thighs, none were as deep as the ones on his body, and especially the circular scars on both shoulders the size of a fist. No, hers looked to be cuts from kunai, swords, knives, daggers, or claws. He would get the full story some other time.
'I-I understand if... If I'm hideous Naruto-kun…" she whispered in a low tone, her hands subconsciously finding one another in front of her stomach and she looked so worried.
She wouldn't be able to stand it if Naruto thought she was ugly, too scarred for his tastes.
"Hinata, you're gorgeous." Naruto told her strongly and empathetically He was pleased to see the hope return to her eyes, the pale lavender eyes that he had longed to see look at him with nothing but happiness. Naruto stepped forward, to Hinata and he placed his hands on her hips, watching her press her hands against his scarred chest. "I just hope I'm not too ugly for you." He told her. "I mean, Kami I'm scarred up over eight times the amount that you are." He told her.
Hinata shook her head a bit and leaned up, kissing the blonde's cheek. "You're quite handsome Naruto-kun; you look like a fierce protector. Each and every scar you have adds to the fact you are willing to get your hands dirty to protect someone and willing to put your body on the line to protect your precious people and to me that is the most beautiful thing I've seen on a long time. It's why I never cared much for pretty boys like Sasuke-san had been."
Naruto snorted at that. "Yeah, I suppose that's true. Sasuke never really had that many scars, even when we fought last."
"Speaking of which..." Hinata said and kissed the long horizontal scar on the blonde's chest. "This one is new."
Naruto shrugged a bit. "Sasuke was good, a good fight to have had. But he still lost.' He said simply
Hinata's Byakugan flashed on for a second and she gasped. "Naruto-kun! The cut damaged some of the ribs, even cut through them. Why didn't you go to the hospital?" Hinata admonished.
"Last time I was in a hospital, I ended up with having Kurama fuck with my head bringing forth my need for violence and blood." Naruto said flatly. "I'm not sitting another week in a bed just to see what Kurama would have in store for me this time." He said simply and shook his head. "No thank you."
Hinata shook her head at his words. "Fine, Tsunade-sama trained me in medical procedures as well." Hinata pushed the blonde onto the bed and actually straddled his waist, much to his surprise. She then leveled him with a slight glare. "I'm your personal medic from now on, you will tell me when you are hurt from now on, and I don't care if you don't like it." She told him before activating a Medical Technique. Her glowing green palms pressed into his chest, and her Byakugan was focused intently.
Naruto looked up at the woman. Part of him said to throw her off, to get her off his lap, part of him said to take advantage of the position she put herself in. Damn, he was even more messed up than he thought. He inhaled and settled back, letting Hinata repair the damage done to his ribs. It was slightly painful, as higher level Medical Techniques were. Still, it felt nice… to have her touching his chest and tending to him. His prankster side also reared its head a bit He hadn't had that side of him in years. "So… Are you going to wear a naughty nurse outfit next time you heal me?" he asked. He also had a slight hopeful tone in his voice.
Hinata rolled her eyes and shook her head a bit before leaning down and laying on top of the blonde when she was done. "Hush you. I'm still upset you won't get proper medical treatment."
"I don't have to now; you're offering it to me so I don't have to go to the hospital anymore."
Hinata shook her head again and smacked him lightly on the chest. "You're incorrigible." She said
Naruto shrugged a bit. "Kakashi-sensei and Ero-Sennin never really went to the hospital, even when we got back from Wave and Kakashi had suffered a case of severe chakra depletion. Ero-Sennin got damaged by Tsunade-Baa-chan, and then the fight with Orochimaru and Kabuto of course also caused him to be a bit more fucked up. I was practically taught not to go to the hospital by my two Sensei."
Hinata shook her head a bit and set her head on Naruto's chest. "Fine, fine, you win. I'll be your personal at home medic." She said and smiled a bit suddenly. "Just means I have to stay here."
Naruto smiled a bit, finding himself liking that idea. "Yeah, you will." He said and slid his calloused hand up and down her spine, watching her arch a bit.
She then rolled off of his chest. "It's not particularly comfortable to sleep on my stomach." She said and pressed up against his side a bit, putting her head on his shoulder.
"It won't be comfortable for me to have you sleeping with your head on my shoulder." He said watching her. He wasn't looking forward to waking up with his arm tweaked and aching for hours.
"Don't worry." Hinata kissed his shoulder. "I can release the tension in the muscles around the joint using the Jyuuken, so you should be fine to sleep on like this."
Naruto didn't argue, knowing he wouldn't win. Instead, he looked her over for a bit before laying his head back and closing his eyes to go to sleep.
The next morning, Hinata awoke by herself, and she looked around for a moment with her eyes normal as she searched for the blonde. When she didn't hear the shower running or see the blonde in the room at all, she activated the Byakugan. She gasped a bit.
Naruto was on top of the roof and his chakra levels were even greater than normal, but calmed down to such an extent that even with his blood thirst that every little thing in nature felt, birds were on his shoulders and his hands. His eyes were closed but occasionally he would send out a pulse of chakra, and it seemed to flow outwards in a massive radius that went far beyond the scope of her Byakugan's vision. There was such power, and then that pulse came back, almost like it was sonar being used.
Hinata moved and got dressed, pulling one of Naruto's jackets around her shoulder before she headed up onto the rooftop. It was rather chilly out, being the early morning. Yet the blonde was sitting shirtless. No doubt she was hit with the next pulse, and Naruto could see her.
She watched as his eyes opened and they had a horizontal bar for the pupil, and yellow irises. She wondered if it was a Kekkei Genkai. "Naruto-kun?" she asked wondering
"Sage Mode." Naruto explained his voice calm and his blood lust no longer present at the time. "I trained extensively with the toads, sending Shadow Clones to learn this technique. Ero-Sennin was also a Sage; he was The Toad Sage for a while. But when he died, it was up to me to become the Toad Sage. I doubt I'll ever be as great as Ero-Sennin, but I will do what I can for his memory. It allows me to become one with nature, talking is about as far as I can move outside of breathing while in this state. Granted, I can move about and fight, but then the Natural Chakra that powers Sage Mode begins to be released, making me unable to keep Sage Mode up."
Hinata nodded softly, understanding. She had done a little research into the Sage Arts for possible use in the Medical Field. Unfortunately it seemed Summoned Animals were the only ones with the ability to teach it, and she never had a contract. "What's with the pulse of the Chakra?" she asked
"Think of it as a communications system." Naruto said as he launched out another pulse. "All over the Elemental Nations, Toads trained in the Sage Arts by my teachers are attuned with Nature, pulsing their chakra out repeatedly. They act as a sort of… relay tower and signal booster. I have two more targets to find." Naruto paused a bit, and suddenly that large radial pulse of chakra was launched out in a straight line.
"Did you find one?" Hinata asked, thinking of that blast of chakra launching along a communication line of sort, bouncing off the toads.
Naruto was hit with a return blast ten minutes later and he stood up. "Chakra travels faster than even my father's Flying Thunder God Technique. That toad is as far out as he possibly can be." He said and headed inside. "But he found Uchiha Madara, standing over a cliff top."
Naruto began to pack storage scrolls of stuff and Hinata bit her lip a little bit. "I'm coming with." She said suddenly and Naruto turned to look at her. "I'm coming with you, you have little ability to counter Genjutsu Naruto-kun, and I can also track his movements better than you'll be able to." She wasn't going to argue the blonde into not going, into following Inoichi's recommendation. She knew the blonde was going, and so was she.
Naruto debated for a moment before nodding and getting dressed in a black skin tight shirt and a set of ANBU pants. He put on a pair of boots also before grabbing his Kusarigama. "We're making a stop somewhere that Tsunade-Baa-Chan told me about before she died." Naruto said and headed off out of the village, Hinata following closely behind.
They came to a ruined stone building. Its roof was barely held together and the building was crumbling. Naruto bowed his head almost in reverence before heading inside. He came out moments later with a scroll that he was tucking away. "It's the Uzumaki Clan Compound." Naruto said as he began to walk, and Hinata's eyes widened. "I'll see to it that it's rebuilt someday, but right now I need to move."
They both began to run, as hard and fast as they could push themselves to go. Hinata felt a small thrill in her chest, knowing she was going to be helping the blonde fight. She steadied her breathing a bit, trying to calm her heart. It wasn't going to be easy, and it wasn't going to be fun.
As they got closer in the week, Hinata noticed they were racing towards the remains of Iwa, Madara and Obito had split the Zetsu army and hit both Iwa and Kiri in two pronged attack. Konoha and Kumo were going to be next, but Obito and Madara started to argue for some reason.
So the Zetsu army was directed at Kumo first.
They raced over the hills and mountains, Naruto proving to have good instincts on where to go and the fastest route possible. Soon they even left Iwa behind them. They went through uncivilized parts of nature, and Hinata could swear she heard the croaking of toads and Naruto seemed to respond to the sounds.
It took two weeks, but they found Madara overlooking a massively deep ravine, Hinata's Byakugan couldn't even see the bottom of the chasm. Naruto stepped forward, his Kusarigama unsealed and in his hands. Hinata walked beside him.
"This place… Anything that enters it will never be seen again, or so the stories go." Madara said in that monotone voice.
Naruto's hand twitched a little bit. He wished he had a seal tag for the man. But a few things stopped that. One, Madara had the Rinnegan, something Naruto wasn't sure how it would seal. Two, the things took atrociously long times to make. Three, Naruto had never felt Madara's chakra really.
Madara turned to look at the two. "I find this place fitting, the name of this place escapes me but its name means The End of the World. It was here that I found the Kyuubi so long ago before I went to fight Hashirama. If I defeat you here, the End of the World will begin,"
Naruto began to swing the Kusarigama around a bit before launching the wind blade at Madara. The Uchiha founder dodged to the right, flying through a set of hand seals. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique." Whereas Itachi's had been a solid B-rank, possible A-rank with his mastery of the Fire Ninjutsu, Madara's was purely an A-Rank. The ball was massive and burned blue like propane was being used to fuel it.
"Below us!" Hinata called out, leaping away with Naruto as two roots sprouted and tried to pierce through the two Shinobi.
Naruto kicked the Madara that chased after him before ducking under a swing and using the blade of his Kusarigama, enhanced with wind chakra, to cut through him in a flash. Naruto was faster than he had shown to be for a while. Naruto was disappointed at seeing the wood, but when a set of hands grabbed his ankles, he drove his hand into the ground and ripped Madara out instead, cutting through another Wood Clone
Hinata dodged and weaved through the attacks by the Madara attacking her. She couldn't get a proper attack in, but was proving quite capable of dodging. She could see how the clones were all moving towards Naruto, trying to slow him down. He only seemed to get faster though, faster and stronger.
Hinata realized why. All the seals on his body, they were slowly being turned off. She had no idea what sort of things the blonde had inscribed into his body, but his speed was picking up dramatically and his strength was rivaling Tsunade at her very best.
Naruto let out a roar of fury as he kicked, punched, slashed, and did everything he could to fight off the Madara Wood clones. Naruto snapped one's neck, caught a punch and drove his fist into the wood clone's elbow. He spun one across his back and grabbed the clone before twisting its back, snapping its spine.
Madara regarded the blonde with the Kyuubi for a moment before stepping forward. "It seems I will have to deal with you myself. Wood clones are like Shadow Clones, not as strong as the original."
Hinata ducked under the strike from the Wood Clone of Madara and drove her palm into its forehead, destroying its 'brain'. Hinata calmed her racing heart as she stayed at the ready, wanting to fight beside Naruto during this battle.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!" Madara shouted, blowing out a massive dragon of fire, easily an S-Ranked attack to start things off with.
Naruto threw out eight sealing tags and from them eight Dragons of water rushed out. It looked like the Yamata no Orochi attacking the fire attack, and Hinata watched as the two collided, a massive amount of steam being built from the attack.
"Summoning: Kyuubi!" Hinata's eyes widened at the sound of Naruto yell of pain and she tried to locate both men.
Madara did nothing to show his irritation at being unable to summon the Kyuubi from the blonde. Oh well, it didn't hurt the plan over all. "Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowing Trees." He intoned and put his hands to the ground. A massive amount of trees began to spring out from the ground, releasing their spores.
Naruto cursed a bit and summoned a clone. They spun up a Rasenshuriken, the vortex of air sucking in the spores and pollen before he threw it at the trees, making it explode as he had a bit of time to throw out several fire tags to burn the trees, the mist getting weaker and thinner because of their actions.
Madara looked to the blonde Jinchuuriki. The power behind the one Jutsu the blonde had used was quite powerful. Madara's Rinnegan eyes went to the girl. "Banshō Ten'in. " Madara held her up and at arm's length. "A Hyuuga… interesting." He said as she struggled, before he tossed her over the cliff behind him. There was nothing to grab, nothing to catch herself on, she would just… fall.
Time seemed to slow for Naruto as he watched Hinata get tossed over the cliff. "Hinata!" he roared out, Kurama's power flaring to life along Naruto's skin. Naruto lashed out with the weight of the Kusarigama at Madara, the weapon streaking through the air and glowing red hot from the friction as it exploded through Madara's heart, or where it would be had he not been an Edo-Tensei revival.
Naruto then dashed towards the edge of the cliff re-activating all the weighted seals on his body, making it that much heavier. He leapt off the edge of the cliff and held his hands out in front of him, Wind Chakra laced along his arms and he made a sort of cross out of it, a curved cross that covered over his shoulders and over his head.
He had no wind resistance and he dropped, speeding into the ravine after Hinata.
Hinata tumbled and twisted, trying to orient herself. She had heard Naruto's baleful cry of fury of her name and she closed her eyes a bit. She remembered the words of Madara, about how nothing was ever seen from again once sent into the ravine.
"I'm sorry Naruto-kun..." she whispered into the wind, a few tears sliding from her eyes. She wasn't sure how long she would drop for, she had no idea how much it would hurt when she hit the ground, but as a Shinobi, she did not fear death.
No… she feared what Naruto would do without someone there to ground him, to keep his sanity in check.
She could almost smell his cinnamon scent once more.
"Hinata!" Naruto yelled out as he approached the woman he had dove in after, she was in sight and she was getting closer and closer. He couldn't see the end in sight, but he would meet it head on. He cut the wind chakra to his body and slowed up considerably, but he lowered his arms to his sides and kept going.
Hinata turned, hearing Naruto and her eyes widened at the sight of the blonde chasing her almost into the depths of hell itself. He caught her about the waist and she saw a look of pure determination on his face, of pure relief. She clung tight to his chest, she wouldn't let go, not for a second.
"I smell water up ahead." Naruto said and moved them so he would enter feet first, deadly to most people, even if they were a Jinchuuriki. But Naruto wasn't most people. He sent a clone ahead, racing forward using the wind chakra to slice away any wind resistance.
Naruto got the memories back from the clone in moments, and created a second and third, each pushing forward. The water was deep, he got that much, but it was a river. "Hang on!" he yelled out as the water came to sight and they plunged in.
The two twisted and turned, rushed down the river, surfacing as they could because they couldn't orient themselves properly to use the water walking technique. Pain laced through Naruto's body, and he knew something was injured, but he hoped that by him entering first with his clones breaking the water tension would allow for Hinata to escape relatively unscathed. Naruto hit a rock with his back, and then his head, and then his leg and the pain doubled.
Naruto didn't know how deep they were inside the ravine, but he knew one thing.
All rivers led to still water.
It seemed like hours that they twisted in the water, this way and that, but as it slowed, Hinata quickly assessed the situation and found the blonde before beginning to get him out of the water. They both surfaced and coughed a bit as they inhaled deeply, and Hinata noticed Naruto treading the water a bit, but he wasn't quite able to float. She didn't mind though, she would swim for them both. She noticed what looked to be an island and she swam towards it, Naruto helping as best as he could. She didn't mind the fact that he wasn't particularly able to really help, but she would find out what was wrong with her love interest once they reached relatively dry land.
Once on the land, they hobbled forward into the island. Once they were settled down, Hinata checked with her Byakugan to see that the island was well within her range of focus. It wasn't much really, small but a dry land mass for them to get everything situated. She then focused on Naruto and gasped as she saw his knee dislocated and his ankle much the same.
Naruto gritted his teeth and took his knee between both hands and gave a sharp twist, and with a sickening snap it popped back into place. He then grabbed his ankle and did the same, growling as he did. Both hurt like hell, and the throbbing pain told him that he did it as correctly as he could.
"I could have reset them Naruto-kun." Hinata whispered to the blonde before shivering a bit. It was cold, and the winds only made her soaked figure colder.
Naruto glanced to Hinata before he stood up and hobbled a bit, his leg still bothering him. "No time, we need to get back. I don't know if I can find him again if he escapes." He said.
Hinata stood up and went after the blonde. "Naruto-kun, please, we need to rest. A few hours are all we need." Hinata said moving after her love interest.
Naruto spun and looked at her, "In a few hours he could leave from where he was. We got lucky, but we can't always count on luck." Naruto said.
"Naruto-kun…" Hinata said softly before she walked up and turned him around, his eyes showing his surprise before she smacked him. "You need to rest. Let your leg heal before you fight him again." She said with a bit of steel in her voice. "So either you rest, or I will make you rest."
A tic worked in Naruto's jaw a bit. She honestly thought that she could make him rest. Naruto leaned in a bit. "Then make me Hinata." He said almost challengingly.
Hinata struck faster than he was expecting, and disabled all his major joints. His knees buckled, and his arms fell limp as his hips also dropped. Eight straight, quick shots and he was done. Then again, he had let it happen. Only she would ever be able to injure him. A tic worked in his jaw even more; he hadn't expected her to actually disable him.
Hinata's features softened a bit. "If I let you get up, will you please actually rest for a few hours? Five at the most?" Hinata asked softly.
Naruto sighed, realizing he was making her worry needlessly. He did need the rest, and his own genetics would take away the soreness. Plus, he might have torn something important unsealing all the seals the way he did and then resealing them to jump after Hinata. "Four hours." He said softly.
Hinata nodded softly and bent down, unsealing the blonde's position. "We need a fire Naruto-kun, think you can help me out?"
Naruto touched his equipment pouch and pulled out his sealing tags and cursed. All of them were soaked, and he didn't bring his supplies to make more. He threw the wet paper in the sand before standing up. He went ahead and went deeper into the island, not much really but enough that the sand was dry. He began to carve into the sand the symbol for fire.
He then stood up and concentrated, his Kusarigama coming to his hand by way of summoning seal etched into his palm. Naruto then used the blade to cut open his arm spilling the blood onto the sand and squeezing his hand to make sure it pumped. He poured his chakra into the blood, slowly filling the carved out seal. It was likely the dumbest method ever used, but viable.
Naruto then stepped back and wrapped his arm, stinging as the salt water touched the wound. Oh yeah, it hurt like a bitch. Naruto then activated the seal, his blood setting fire to the sand. He then sent out five clones to gather some debris such as drift wood and sea weed to act as fuel for the fire. They grabbed what they thought would be enough and then grabbed three times that amount.
Hinata watched all of it happen and shivered again. She glanced around before she sighed and stepped closer to the fire, surprising the blonde.
Naruto's eyes were drawn to Hinata as she unzipped the jacket and laid it on the ground before peeling off her wet t-shirt. It was laid beside the jacket before she unhooked her bra. Naruto's eyes were drawn to the dark areola, capped with the dark pink nipples that he ached to taste. They were hard from the water and the cold air. Naruto turned away, almost growling. She had to get out of the wet clothes, but damn it did she have to do it in front of him like that?
Naruto glanced over his shoulder hearing the fabric shift. She was peeling her pants off and Naruto grit his teeth a bit. She bent over at the waist to push them down her hips, and it stuck her rear out in a way that made him ache. His mind was arguing with each other, one side wanting her to strip all the way, the other not wanting her to. She was killing him!
Hinata bit her lip a little bit, her Byakugan was activated and she could see the pulse of her Naruto shoot through the roof when he had watched her. She had an idea to keep him there long enough for him to heal. Despite what he thought, he was in a lot worse shape than he thought he was. She could see torn ligaments, fractured bones, tore muscles. He probably didn't feel any of it at all.
Hinata moved closer and slid her arms around his waist before leaning against his back a bit, her breasts pressed into his spine. She leaned up a bit, making her breasts rub upwards against his back. "Let's get you out of those clothes." She whispered before moving him over to a worn looking rock. She set him down and unzipped his jacket, pushing it off his shoulders and tossing it over towards the fire, making sure it didn't land in the fire.
"Hinata?" Naruto asked a little confused as to what she was doing.
Hinata flashed him a smile before she reached down and pulled off his shirt, leaning in and kissing his hard abs as she peeled the shirt off, kissing up after the exposing flesh. She removed it from his head, but it got stuck on his nose a bit. Hinata paused a bit and leaned in, kissing him on the lips firmly and pressing her breasts against his chest. She let out a sigh feeling his hot skin against her hard and could nipples.
Naruto pulled back from the kiss and his shirt was soon over by the red jacket. "If you start this fire Hinata, I won't be able to calm it this time." He said
Hinata smiled up to him. "Good, I wouldn't have it any other way." She said and began to kiss down his neck and she boldly nipped his shoulder on the collar bone. She kissed down his pectoral and swirled her tongue over his nipple, teasing him to shiver. She was glad he was responsive. She kissed down his body, along his abs again and she looked up to him, her Byakugan turned off to make her seem all that more innocent looking.
Her mouth moved over to the button and clumsily, she opened it with her mouth. It was impressive, but clumsily. She then pulled his pants down, easing them over the black boxers, and she saw her love interest was well endowed. Something that made her blush brightly. She realized that Tsunade's theory on Chakra levels determining endowment to be accurate, at least for males. She had used her eyes to help in medical procedures to make sure everything inside was working properly and she had seen her share of men down there.
But she had only ever wanted to touch Naruto there.
Naruto hissed a bit in desire as she stood up, and his throbbing erection actually was painful. She turned her back to him for a second before she bent over, glancing over her shoulder as she peeled down her underwear, revealing her nude and curvaceous figure to him for the first time.
Naruto wanted to pull her close and drive into her, over and over again, but he restrained himself, as much as possible at least.
Naruto sucked air in between his teeth as Hinata sat down in his lap, pressing her round derriere into his groin, rubbing back and forth as she kissed the blonde over her shoulder. Naruto's hands moved and slid over Hinata's thighs. She had his attention and he forgot everything else. Madara who?
Hinata was wet, and her body ached with a need and a fire burned in her core for the blonde. She grabbed his wrist and moved it from her thigh to between her legs. She moaned at contact, the rough callouses brushing the sensitive lips of her womanhood. "Oh Kami…" she whispered, her back arching as she was uninitiated to the sensations the blonde's fingers were giving. She could feel the deep rumble chuckle before he sank a finger inside of her. His fingers were so long; they reached deeper than even her longest finger and filled her out more. Two fingers pressed in and Hinata squirmed in his lap, getting Naruto to moan out.
Naruto didn't feel any barrier inside of her with his fingers, but the fact didn't bother him. He knew many Kunoichi had their hymen broken during training, or they broke it themselves. It was rare to find a serious Kunoichi that still had it. Naruto pulled from Hinata's lips and watched her stand up.
Hinata turned around slowly and breathed out, panting a bit. She felt a little conscious as Naruto's eyes roamed over her body. A part of her was worried about the small patch of hair above her entrance, but he didn't seem bothered by it. She slowly reached down and grabbed the hem of the black boxers that Naruto wore and she began to ease them down as he stood up. She lowered to her knees at the same time and gasped a little bit, seeing the size of his length.
He was long and thick, and she had no doubt he would fill her and stretch her in a way her two fingers had never done before. She was excited to think about it, but she also knew she had to get him lubricated. He was just too big to take without it. Hinata brushed a lock of her hair behind her ear and leaned her head in, licking along the crown of Naruto's size.
Naruto gave a low moan of pleasure as she felt her tongue slide along his sensitive body. The few times he had sent a clone out to do something, to sate his lust during prison, Naruto had never, not a single time, got oral sex. There was one simple reason to it: he lacked control. Not over himself, no, but over the situation. A simple quick bite and his organ would be bitten off. While that wouldn't come back to him because it was a clone he sent out, but the thought process was still the same with the clone.
He was putting a lot of faith in Hinata, more so than she would realize as she tickled the sides of his length with her tongue. His moan was loud as he felt her mouth move over the tip and she pushed him towards the back of her mouth. It felt great really.
Hinata paused as the blonde moved into her mouth and the tip brushed against the entrance to her throat. She pulled off of him and gagged a little, stroking him and coating him more in her saliva. Hinata looked up to the blonde, "This will do well." She said and helped him lay down in the sand. It was going to be uncomfortable for them both, but they wanted it too much.
Naruto felt the coarse sand. That wasn't going to work. He sat up and grabbed a scroll with a water proofing seal on it. His combat tags didn't have them, but his scrolls did. He unraveled them and unsealed a bed roll, laying it down on the ground. He rolled over to lay on it once more and looked up to Hinata
Hinata smiled a bit seeing Naruto offer her a thumb up. She straddled his waist and moved her hand between her legs. She rubbed Naruto's length against her entrance; her breath hitched a bit as she was rubbed in a sensitive area. She then slowly slid down, wincing a bit as she felt him stretch her out. He was bigger than anything she had ever had before, it hurt a bit.
Naruto slid his hands along Hinata's thighs and up to her breasts, squeezing them a bit before he rubbed his thumbs over her nipples, teasing her. He let her take her time in sliding down his length, but he teased her body to lessen the pain she no doubt felt in her body.
Hinata was grateful for the blonde's actions and she soon began to move up and down on him. Her hands were placed on his abdomen as she did so, and her breath hitched in her throat for a moment as the blonde rubbed against a sensitive spot inside of her. It felt wonderful to her, better than wonderful even.
Naruto rolled his hips up into Hinata's body and their eyes locked together, and he instead too one of her hands in his own, interlacing their fingers together. Naruto's breath was caught in his throat as he saw the love in her eyes. He wasn't sure what would change between them, doing this, but he was sure that something would change.
Hinata began to bounce up and down on the blonde a little more, a little faster feeling him brush so deep inside of her. Her eyes fell closed and she panted a bit. She could feel her orgasm building, the sensation was so glorious. She stroked a certain spot along the blonde's abdomen. With her Byakugan training and medical training, she could make him achieve a release whenever she wanted and she wouldn't leave her blonde without one. The one she was building to would take everything out of her.
Naruto noticed Hinata's breathing getting more and more labored and sat up a bit. He kissed her on the lips and slid his arms around her waist, her arms going around his neck as they kissed and he thrust into her body faster. She was a beautiful woman and he was damned lucky to have her. He pulled away from her lips and kissed at her neck, stimulating her flesh with his touch.
Hinata was panting more and more as the blonde thrust into her body. She lowered her arms to his hips and rubbed his thighs as she bounced against his thrusts some and she bit her lip, looking into his eyes. "Inside Naruto-kun, I want it all inside of me." Hinata whispered and kissed the blonde. "I want to be the mother of your children, if you will be the father of mine."
Naruto was touched to be asked to be the father of her children, and he nodded. No words were needed, Hinata would know that. He kissed her again on the lips, and his tongue slipped into her mouth, teasing her.
Hinata gave a loud moan of pleasure as she finally was unable to take it and she had her orgasm. She barely was able to tap the four spots along the blonde's legs and abdomen to make him release and she heard him grunt and flood her system with his seed.
Naruto's eyes were in a haze. It had felt like he had been halfway to his orgasm and then Hinata had her own orgasm, and he was suddenly releasing inside of her. He was confused but as they laid back on the bed roll, Hinata still kissing him, Naruto just went with it. His body was exhausted now.
Hinata pulled back and kissed his lips. "I'm sorry I did that Naruto-kun." She said and turned to lay at his side, cuddled up to him. "Given all the fighting, the swimming, my body is just so tired… I want this, and I want more, but it's an exhausting act. I would only be able to go one round before being near useless for you.' She told him and kissed him again on the lips.
Naruto nodded a bit, so she had forced him to an orgasm. It was… it was a little upsetting, but he supposed he could see her reasoning behind it. "Why don't you get some sleep Hinata? I'll keep watch and make sure to rest." He told her.
Hinata nodded and curled up to the blonde more, using his body heat to keep warm.
Hours later, Naruto was still awake, resting on the bedroll. He knew he had agreed to only five hours, which had passed, but he wasn't going to wake Hinata until she was ready to awake. He touched a scroll beside the bed and unsealed something.
He held it up to the moonlight and stared at the blank white mask. On the mask there were no eyes, no mouth, and no nose, nothing that would give a general idea of what it was meant to be. But Naruto knew exactly what it was.
It was the Dead Man's Copy Mask.
It was an expressly forbidden mask of the Uzumaki Clan, only to be used in extreme emergency cases and only by the stoutest of minds. The scrolls that had mentioned the mask said that all of the cases, the wearer was granted extraordinary power, but was driven insane in the end.
Naruto wondered how his own fractured sanity would stand to the powers of the mask. All he had to do was write a name in blood on the mask…
Naruto waited until the morning, when Hinata woke of her own volition. He had already placed the mask away and soon he packed everything up, getting dressed in the clothes. Hinata used her chakra to remove the sand from their clothes so they wouldn't have that scratchy feeling.
Naruto summoned a toad and had them reverse summon them back to the mountain before they were reverse summoned back to the location of one of his sentries. Naruto had Hinata stay back as he went to go face Madara once more.
Naruto stood at Madara's back for a time, staring at the oldest Uchiha. When the man finally turned around Naruto watched the man's passive face as he quirked an eyebrow, as though asking the blonde what he thought he could do.
Naruto pulled out the Dead Man's Copy Mask and cut his thumb. He wrote in Kanji a simple name. 'Senju Hashirama' Then, Naruto held up the mask to Madara, watching the man's eyes fill with recognition.
"You would use that mask against me?" Madara asked almost amused. "Someone as insane as you are?"
Naruto chuckled softly. "Perhaps that is what it takes… insanity." He said and slipped the mask on his face, the simple rope cord barely keeping it on his head. Naruto then pulsed his chakra into the mask, making it fuse to his face.
He let out an inhuman scream of agony and fell to his knees, clutching at the mask and almost trying to pull it off as he thrashed and power swept up around him. Madara stood back, wanting to see the outcome. A blinding white light engulfed the blonde, and not even the Rinnegan could pierce it.
As the light faded away, a large figure was seen crouched on the ground. The figure had dark skin and his black hair was pulled back from his face, the dark eyes seemed to bore holes into Madara. Dark red armor was worn over a black suit. Senju Hashirama, the Shodai Hokage was amongst the world of the living once more.
End
A/N: Well… this chapter was fun. Short lemon for those that like those, I might write another one later on.
How many of you honestly expected me to kill Madara off this chapter? Seriously, I want to know.
Since we don't know what all the masks at the Uzumaki Clan's Mask Temple, I decided to make that one up.
As for Naruto… well you'll find out what happened to him next chapter.
Anyways,
Read, Enjoy, Review
Or
Read, don't Enjoy, don't review.
