Chapter Seven: Riot

A loud growl came from Kimimaro as he looked down at the sheet of paper that Orochimaru had stamped "Denied" with big red letters. He tore the paper up and threw it into the fire cackling in the pit. He looked up at the elders of his clan. "Lord Satan has decided that our request is completely unfounded, rejecting it! If he rejected us he must have made some form of agreement with the Namikaze's and approved their papers! That bastard is trying to screw us over!" He screamed, outraged by this. To thing that those dirty Namikaze's would be given the land his clan deserved made him ill.

He growled and paced slowly. "Why don't we just go to the west? The Namikaze's are extending their boundaries to the south, near us. The only clan below us, the Maaka clan, are so low in numbers they have roughly a hundred acres uninhabited by any of their race." One of the elders, an older woman called Kimiko, proposed softly. Kimimaro grabbed her by the throat, hoisting her up and holding her there as she clawed at his arm to get free.

"We had been planning to move east, toward the Namikaze's, before they planned to move south! Don't you senile old fools see it?! Those dirty bastards are trying to test us! This isn't just about territory any more! This is about them wanting to overrun our tribe! Are you all too foolish to see the truth before your very faces?!" He roared, tossing the old woman back into her seat. She hit the ground and didn't get back up, her eyes glazed and open. In the time he'd held her between one hand she'd quickly died. This was the reason why the leader of the Kamiya clan; He was brutal, strong, and scared all the others.

"Then what do we do, Kimimaro-Sama? How do we keep this from happening if Lord Satan is going to do nothing but stand by and watch us suffer?" An elderly male asked. Kimimaro paused, truly debating over the question for a moment. He could return to Orochimaru and suggest his theory in hopes of getting a straight forward answer. However, if Orochimaru was involved in the planned take over like he suspected, his thoughts would be tossed aside as a mere conspiracy theory created from the mind of a man driven slightly insane by his appeals denial. He didn't want to deal with the mockery his clan would suffer if he did decide to give that plan a try. His only other option was to…

"It will take a few months but begin building tools of war. Have all able bodied clan members taught how to fight and treat wounds. We're going to start a war against the Namikaze's, beginning with a surprise attack."

Sakura knew that the minute she woke up that day it wasn't going to be a good one. It was raining in the Underworld, which rarely occurred. She stood on her balcony, dressed in only her silk nightgown, and watched the small drizzle. It was gratefully light, meaning the laborers would not be given a day of relaxation, but still made the air chilly. She shivered lightly, letting her arms cross over her chest. She hadn't heard of any guest appearances anywhere by the infamous Halfling Namikaze. He was most likely preoccupied with the arrival of he and Hinata's first child. In fact, she thought briefly, Demons were only pregnant for about six months. Hinata's child was either born or would be soon enough. She groaned at the thought of future Spawn of Dope tormenting the children she knew she and Sasuke would be having. Suddenly a warm figure pressed against her from behind, wrapping itself around her. She smiled to herself. "It's raining and cold. Do you just like the feel of icy winds blowing up your skirt?" His voice was lightly husky, as if the thought of what else could blow up her skirt was more pleasant.

"No, Sasuke-Kun, just doesn't rain very often down here. They say that rain is a bad omen." She stated worriedly. He looked at her curiously and she shook her head, looking out at the cloudy horizon. She could feel that something was wrong. She shivered again, despite how warm Sasuke's body was. She looked up at him again. "Let's go, Sasuke-Kun. We need to get ready for your promotion to Lord Satan. Plus I'm freezing my nips off."

Sakura didn't mind running around with Kakashi to take care of the errands before the ceremony to have Sasuke initiated as the new Satan. She rather enjoyed doing these menial tasks, considering he'd be busy and she'd be doing this a lot in the years to follow their wedding. She felt the butterflies in her stomach give wild flaps at the thought. In only a week following this little festivity she's become Mrs. Uchiha Sakura. She blushed and giggled at the thought. She had, after all, been waiting centuries to find him and another five years to finally get close to this step. She looked over the menu for tonight again, making sure everything was right. She sighed and approached Amane, whom was helping Yamato to cater by confirming everything with Sakura.

"Is everything to your liking, Sakura-Sama?" She asked calmly, bowing gracefully. Sakura noticed that she lifted her head to cast a set of doe eyes on Kakashi, whom smiled warmly. S smile came to her face and she quickly sobered up as she stood. Sakura suddenly wondered if reuniting them before her wedding was a good idea. She shook her head and gestured to the menu sheet.

"No, Amane-San, I'm actually quite displeased. This menu is completely inaccurate to what you've had laid out on the tables in the kitchen. The kitchen is correct yet all the menus need to be fixed. These are the same one's you used back when we had the dinner in honor of my engagement with Sasuke-Kun's mother. These need to be completely redone in the next hour or so help me you'll regret it." Sakura stated harshly, looking at Amane squarely. The other woman gulped and quickly took the menu.

"I'll have all the incorrect ones gathered and properly set up at once, Sakura-Sama." She stated again. She bowed rigidly and rushed away, plucking the menus off each table as swiftly as she could. Sakura smirked proudly at the fear she'd sparked in the other woman. She looked up and saw Kakashi glaring at her and raised an eyebrow. They headed out of the dining room to go check how the progress was on Sasuke's outfit for the evening. Sakura had requested specifically that Tsubaki make it and wanted to check her progress.

"Do you really have to treat her like that, Sakura-Sama? Yamato's reaching his end and is being extremely harsh with her. She doesn't need you adding more stress to her already over loaded mind." He stated flatly as they walked the busy corridors. Every person working in the castle had been assigned to do something for this large celebration. "I'm not trying to say that you should be extremely lineate with her but a little bit of patience could help her feel more at ease." He stated.

Sakura sighed and decided she definitely had made a mistake reuniting them before her wedding day. She looked up at Kakashi, letting her annoyance show. "Well, Kakashi, I'm sorry that her stress makes it harder for her to suck you like a lollipop but this is business. If I'm not critically rude with the people here they'll walk all over me. That's the way it's always been." She stated casually as they walked. She noticed how immediately Kakashi blushed at her words and chuckled lightly. "And yes, I know that you two have a very lively sex life. Kurenai and Asuma have been missing sleep because of it."

Kakashi lightly cleared his throat and looked to the side. She laughed as they entered the costume room. "We aren't that loud, are we?" He mumbled self consciously. Sakura hummed as she looked over the demonic robes designed for Sasuke, completely ready with not a stitch out of place. At least there was one thing off her list of things to double check.

If they'd know this would happen they never would have made that stupid request. They only sent it in as a joke, to mess around with the Kamiya clan, but they'd not expected Orochimaru to actually put any thought in to it. And now the Kamiya's were destroying their clan's home. Naruto growled lowly, keeping close to Hinata. She was too tired to get up. Only an hour ago, right before the attack began, she had given birth to their son. "Naruto-Kun, what's happening?" She asked frantically, keeping the sleeping child against her bosom.

He gently combed his fingers through her hair and kissed her forehead, trying to think of a way out. She was too sore to run. The only escape was through the door before them but that would lead them right to the middle of the devastation. He couldn't risk Hinata or the baby's lives out there. He wasn't too certain that his speed would be enough to get them all to safety. If he made trips he could get them out but they couldn't leave the baby alone, even if for a second. "We need to get out. We need to get away." He mumbled frantically, looking around.

The door flew open, slamming into the wall beside them. Hinata gasped and Naruto growled. The little baby tucked against his mother was awoken by the sound and started to cry. Kimimaro stood there and looked, a sinister smirk coming to his lips. "What a happy little family. Can I hold the baby next?" He asked in mock excitement. Naruto growled, crouching before his mate and offspring. Every instinct in him urged him to kill the other demon that threatened his home and family. His eyes began to flash red, his whiskers darkening and every thing about him becoming demon-like.

"Get out! Now!" He screamed in rage. Kimimaro smirked and pulled his daggers out, taking a defensive stance. Naruto let loose an animalistic roar. Hinata tried to comfort the baby, whose wails were getting louder as it became more frightened. "I'll kill you!"

"This will certainly be an interesting fight." Kimimaro chuckled before going at the enraged father.

Sasuke smiled as Sakura threw her arms around his neck, burrowing into him happily. He was now the new ruler of the Underworld. He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and span with her. She giggled and squealed in joy. "As of today, you are now the one responsible for all activity in the Underworld and helping God to decide punishments for sinners. Congratulations, my boy." Orochimaru stated with a smile, gently patting Sasuke's shoulder. He smiled and bowed to the best of his ability with Sakura latched on. Sasuke didn't realize just how soon he'd be making his first major decision as Satan, though.

The scent of blood caught the attention of all. "Teme." At the doors stood a somber looking Naruto. He was splattered in his own blood and it dripped from him like a fountain. His eyes were half open, almost looking dead. His hair was flat, most likely because of walking in the rain. Sasuke looked at him, horrified. He'd seen Naruto after getting the shit beaten out of him but this was the worst. Even Sakura relinquished her grip on him to look at the blond. He nudged with one arm and a limping Hinata came into view. She was no better, stained in her own blood. Her hair was a knotted mess and she was crying silently. Her entire form shuddered a little, taking in a shaky breath.

"What in the world happened to you two?" Sakura asked shakily, pulling back closer to Sasuke, He wrapped one arm tightly around her waist, securing her against him. They were truly frightening in the state.

"Please, Teme, help us." Naruto's voice was hoarse and cracking. He sounded like he might start sobbing at any given second. It was then Sasuke's eyes landed on the bundle in Hinata's arms. A small creature wrapped in a blanket but where its head was a large plot of red had grown. Some of it leaked through and drizzled down Hinata's thin forearm. Naruto looked at the small thing and back at Sasuke. "Help Hikaru."

See? I told you the last chapter would be important. I really don't mean to be evil but I just am. Will Sasuke turn a blind eye to his the fox who betrayed him years ago? Will the poor infant die? I guess you'll have to wait and find out! Until then!
