I don't own Naruto.
This one is the longst chapter of this story so far and is more then likely as long as any of the chapters will get. The sole reason it is long is because it took me a while to get to a satisfactory ending point.
Ok so some of you have been crying out for Sasuke's blood in a few of the reviews I have received so far (again thank you VERY much for those) so either this chapter will make you happy bunny's or your going to hate me. Unfortunately I haven't exactly finished with the troublesome Uchiha just yet so bare with me.
As for wanting blood, I think I mentioned in the last chapter that Sasuke doesn't have a body and therefore no blood, anyway enough of the really bad jokes and on with Chapter 8- Confrontation
-Rin
P.S the last chapter was my favorite and this one, to me, isn't so bad either, I just think some parts of it could have been written better so I'm sorry for that.
Sasuke's disbelief was plain to see on his face for a moment before it was quickly hidden so that his expression became nothing more then a blank stare.
'You can't be Naruto, I made sure he couldn't come back even as a spirit' Sasuke's denial drew another slightly cynical laugh from the thought of the now very visible demon.
'Poor little Sasuke, you made sure that Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto couldn't return but he no longer exists'Naruto said taking delight in the
confused expression that appeared on the face of the spirit Uchiha.
'Then I was right, you are not Naruto' Sasuke said replacing his confused state with an arrogant smirk which deflated a bit when he saw that the demons own smirk did not falter.
'No Sasuke, I am Naruto, just not the one you remember, 500 years of bitterness changes a person.' Again the confusion spread but this time the Uchiha did not speak.
'Tell me Sasuke, do you remember the reason you killed Naruto?' Sasuke nodded 'What was it?'
'He was a danger to the village; he wanted to lead a rebellion and become Hokage' Sasuke said with conviction 'and if you are Naruto why do you speak in third person?'
'And that's what you were told by the village council was it?' Naruto asked hiding his anger well, while completely ignoring the raven's question. At Sasuke's nod Naruto's anger reached new heights and his tails began to swish more furiously, although all that came from his mouth was another round of humourless laughter.
'Do you want to know the real reason for the council wanting him dead?' Sasuke looked at the nine tailed demon with open distrust, after all, he had been taught from an early age not to trust demons, especially nine tailed fox ones.
'I trust that you have heard the legend of Kyuubi and his attack on Konohagakure no Sato' Naruto asked, he hadn't expected the Uchiha to be so calm 'Yes most people know the legend of the Yondaime but there was another part to the tail that was never told' Sasuke's mistrust increased as the demons grin widened.
'Tell me Sasuke, how do you kill a god?' Naruto asked beginning to circle the Uchiha who still stood in the middle of the clearing.
'That's impossible, gods are immortal!' Sasuke stated confidently, Naruto nodded indicating that the Uchiha was correct.
'Yes they are immortal, both gods of life and of death'a look of semi-comprehension appeared on Sasuke's although Naruto knew that Sasuke at least knew this part of the story.
'Judging by your expression I think you already know that the Yondaime did not kill the Kyuubi no Yoko' Sasuke nodded and Naruto's constant grin turned from amusement to pure undiluted evil. 'So then how did the hero of your village really defeat the mighty demon?'Naruto asked as Sasuke still remained expressionless.
'He had to imprison it in some way, somewhere that it couldn't escape, he was a seal master after all' Naruto was toying with Sasuke's head and the raven didn't like it, he knew the story of the Demons sealing.
'Cut to the chase already what has this got to do with Naruto?' Sasuke yelled giving in to his anger.
'He had no choice but to seal the demon inside the belly of a new born baby, condemning the child to a lifetime of misery at the hands of the people he caged the beast to protect, that child was Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto son of Namikaze Minato the Yondaime Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato!'Naruto yelled his fury becoming fully visible on his face, Sasuke's expressionless face caved to show a wealth of shock that quickly turned to immediate understanding, he had assumed that the child was killed immediately after birth never had he expected Naruto to be the jinchuuriki of the nine tailed fox.
'The council wanted me to kill him because they feared the Kyuubi was controlling Naruto as he became stronger and I fell for it.' He exclaimed, Sasuke had realised that it had been a mistake to obey the council's orders long before he killed Naruto but he had, had no choice once the mission had been accepted and he had apologised to his best friend in their last battle, unfortunately it had been too late and Naruto had never forgiven him.
'Oh no Sasuke you did far more then that!' Naruto laughed sending shivers down the dark haired ninja's spine 'What do you think happens when a demon container or jinchuuriki dies with a vengeful spirit?' Naruto asked watching as Sasuke began to shake form fear.
'Well as the demon sealed within the host will also die as the vessel does, immortal god or not, that god needs an heir, if the vessel dies with revenge in their hearts, they take the place of their former prisoner.' Sasuke's eyes widened further still and he realised what the demon was getting at.
'Yes Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto died with a vengeful heart that swore to take vengeance on all who had hurt him, I am the shell of Uzumaki Naruto, I am Kyuubi's heir, the demon lord of the ninth circle of hell' suddenly there came from the nine tails mouth the most piercingly evil laugh Sasuke had ever heard.
'This is what you did to me Sasuke, you and that sad excuse for a council, you turned me into this, the demon the people always thought me to be, so I took the spirits of those who wronged me and cast them into my dominion, you are last on my list. Uchiha Sasuke, your time has come, you have been running since the day you died, now it's time to pay the piper. And it's time for my revenge.'
All of a sudden the Uchiha launched an angry attack at the nine tailed demon lord, the first punch was easily deflected with a palm as was the kick that came towards his head, the second punch however, Naruto allowed to hit and Sasuke's fist burst into flame as it came into contact with Naruto's now very demonic Chakra.
'I am fire, a dancing flame' Naruto whispered using the demonic arts. Sasuke's attack faltered so he could grasp his aching fist but he regained his composer quickly.
Naruto suddenly began to flicker back and forth in a weaving pattern that was reminiscent of naked flame as he continued to deflect the Uchiha's attack, every punch or kick that hit caused the attackers skin to burn but yet he did not stop and it was over quickly, without his Ninjutsu Sasuke was more or less completely helpless.
With one devastating kick to the Uchiha's chin, Naruto clicked his fingers and two shadowy figures appeared.
The nine tailed demon cackled as the minions gave a bow and caught the Uchiha in mid flight before fading from visibility and heading back to the ninth circle.
'Finally it is done'Naruto thought with an evil smirk before he burst into laughter that made even the great forest quake in fear.
