Hey there everyone I'm back! I just got back from a couple week vacation and now I'm back and happy to be posting. Though currently my computer is being weird and so I'm having to do this by my phone but it's no biggie. Anyway let's get down to some business. We're continuing off from last time where Naruto awoken with a great power surge and we know what that means.
Chapter 8: Blind Rampage
A dead silence filled the air. It happened so fast that no one caught what happened. Team Dosu were cut-down and defeated in an instant and the perpetrator stood before the bodies. His once already cut and torn orange jumpsuit was now tattered prices of clothes. His jacket was nothing more than a few charred blotches on the ground, and his body was covered in blood. Naruto stood before the dead bodies of team Dosu, blood was all over him, but mostly down his arms.
His eyes bore deep into those across the field from him. They appeared as though they held the flames of war within them. They were directed at Orochimaru and his lackeys, who dared not look a way. The energy that erupted from him not a few seconds earlier had already compressed itself and shaped around his body.
The area was filled with what most people believed to be death and destruction. Naruto was the very center point of this feeling, as it seemed that the energy around him was emitting it.
Kenji stood not to far away on the ground, his wounds were healing much faster thanks to Anguirus, but the form would not last much longer. The others were all behind Naruto, the closest being only ten feet away.
They were terrified of what they were seeing. All but a couple expressions were clearly shown with a mix of shock and horror. They had just witnessed the happy-go-lucky 'dead last' kill three other genin in cold blood. It was not a second later Anko arrived seeing the dead bodies of Team Dosu and seeing the 'new' power of the white haired jinchuuriki's.
" Impossible..." Started a small voice catching everyone's attention. The voice had come from Kenji who was slowly getting back up. " Anguirus it's true! The King... the 'King of the Monsters' has returned!"
Everyone was confused at first but then slowly relinquished back to fear at Naruto let out a threatening roar. It resonated with the energy that was around him giving it time to shape itself to what appeared to be some sort of horrifying reptile's head as it released a roar as well.
" Kenji, that boy is not in control! He's relying on pure instincts at the moment. Let us hope that he has at least the enough sense to tell friend from foe" Angurius informed him via their mental link.
' Wait then how is he able to enter stage 1 if he isn't in direct control? If I were not in control of myself you would stop the flow of your power.' Kenji asked back.
" It's possible that both he and Godzilla haven't set up a permanent link."
' That still doesn't explain how he is able to enter stage 1 and not be in control. If I remember correctly a wielder and their Kaiju have to setup a bond or a pact in exchange for helping each other.'
" In normal circumstance that is true, but perhaps being a host for Godzilla is different than that of a regular kaiju like myself."
' Then if that's the case what do you think I should do if this keeps up?'
" If it comes down to it you'll have to fight him just long enough until the others get here."
' Others?'
" The Hokage, as well as some of the instructors and some senseis. They must have sensed that huge energy surge that your friend over there released and should be here soon."
' At least if it comes down to it I wont have to fight him alone, but still...'
" Kenji get ready, that boy is about to do something."
Naruto starred right at Orochimaru, locking eyes with him as he took a crouched position. For some reason that he couldn't explain it, Orochimaru found the hairs on the back of his neck standing straight up. His pulse was uneven and he was finding himself breathing slightly unnoticeably heavy.
He had came across a few legends of Kaiju while he was still affiliated with Konoha, and even those stories were brief and held nothing of significance for him then. However, he soon recalled all the stories of how Kaiju could destroy nations and even be considered gods, but one thing he recalled the most was a reference of a supposed 'king of monsters' that even other Kaiju dared not face. It's power was considered unmatchable even for a biju, so if this boy before him truly held such power then he was rather unnerved.
' To think the legends are true! I better take extra precautions while dealing with this boy.' Orochimaru thought to himself. He then looked at the Sound 4 and said, " Deal with the boy who just killed your fellow sound. If you decide to runaway without me ordering it then I'll find you and use you for one of my new experiments once this is all over!"
"Hai!" the each responded before launching themselves at the white haired genin. Naruto noticed them and stood in place not thinking of them as to pose any threat. As they got closer Jirōbō charged in with his arm back preparing to deliver a punch straight across Naruto's a blink in of an eye Naruto dodged the punch and slammed his palm onto Jirōbō's face,grabbing it and hurling him back across the field.
The other members of team sound moved out of the way of the Jirōbō projectile that flew by. As they turned back towards Naruto but failed to notice that he was upon them. Fierce and violent he attacked the other three with such brutality before sending them all flying. Kidōmaru managed to catch himself in midair and started chewing something in his mouth. " Ninja Art: Sticky Spider Thread!" He exclaimed as he exclaimed as made his web weapons. The other two, Tayuya and Sakon, did the same by getting what they needed and charged forward.
Back with the genin they were currently in awe at the display before them that they failed to notice a shadowy figure watching in trees behind them. Watching and observing Naruto as he fought the three sound shinobi.
Anko was with the genin making sure they were safe with Kenji resting on the ground next to her. " So your saying that brat over there has an entity within him stronger than a biju and that current state he's in is due to its influence?" She asked.
" Hai, right now he's not in control right now, and that's probably due to that seal that placed on him by that snake guy over there." Kenji explained. " And if it continues on like this I might have to step in."
" I don't think your even able to fight one of these genin, especially psycho over there." She replied flatly.
" HEY! What's that suppose to mean!" Kiba yelled.
"Yeah we're not weak and pathetic you know!" Ino agreed.
" So you guys think you can handle a few jonin leveled opponents with S-ranked missing-nin and then fight your berserking friend over there. If so then by all means prove me wrong right now, if not then shut up be good little kiddies." Anko stated.
" And you expect us to not go and do anything!" Kiba said back.
" Yeah, even though he's scary right now he's still our friend!" Choji said as put aside his bag of chips so he could speak clearly.
" I think that this whole thing is troublesome-" Shikamaru started but was interrupted with a hit to the head by Ino.
" Idiot! We're trying to convince her to let us help!" Ino yelled at him.
" Jeez I didn't get to even finish what I was saying." Shikamaru said as he rubbed his head.
" Oh..."
" As I was saying, the whole thing is troublesome, but still I don't think I can stand by and not do anything ether." He finished. Anko remained quiet for a while as she thought.
Meanwhile Jirōbō was coming too as he got himself back into his feet. ' That damned kid knocked me pretty good.' he thought as he rubbed the place where Naruto's hand grabbed him. " For some reason I wasn't able to absorb any of his chakra. What ever that power was it only seemed to cause my body harm. It's a good thing that I didn't continue to absorb it otherwise it might have caused some serious indigestion problems." He said to himself.
He looked back across the field to see the others fighting the kid who launched him.
But further away he could see the other brats with some lady, that was probably an instructor. " Hmmm, I think that those guys can hold him off long enough for me to get something to eat." He said to himself as he jumped away to attack the other genin.
Sabu was currently sitting underneath the same tree from earlier. It had been awhile since he let Keigo go and 'have fun'. They were only suppose to take a little break and get rid of the unnecessary future headache, but it has taken to long. He opened his eyes and got back up to look around, as he did he saw nothing but gore all around. Body parts and entrails were scattered everywhere. No one was spared from the mass genocide, and certainly not easily distinguished between respected village.
Sabu didn't care at the moment as he was looking for Keigo. He heard a quick and muffled scream followed by a nasty snapping noise and the sound of something gushing. He decided to follow the sound to its sorce as he tried to find Keigo.
Not long after he treaded through the the 'field of gore' he eventually found Keigo in front of a torn and mutilated body. He was covered in blood and someones intestines or what was left of them were currently draped across his back. Now he found it disgusting but after awhile of working with Keigo he's grown use to these types of sites.
" So Sabu, what do you think of this glorious piece of art I've made on this great field." he laughed.
" Do you know how long it took You to finish all of this?"
" How long was it this time? I lost track with all the screaming."
" Two days."
" Wow now that's a record. Usually it only takes me a couple of hours but i just really wanted to have some fun!"
" Well your fun has costed us to fall behind schedual, so if your done having fun we need to leave now."
" Why the rush I'm starting to feel a little hungry actually."
" Have you been paying any attention at all?"
" Why? Something happened while I was enjoying myself?"
" Yeah. While you were having 'fun' our target just emitted A large amount energy just a few minutes ago."
" So what?"
" If we loose this target the master will personally torture us and kill us!"
" If you haven't noticed I don't care. Reason why is because I'll just loose an arm or two but I can replace those. You on the other hand will probably die."
" Better than being the master's own changeable plaything."
"..."
"..."
" You did not just say that."
" Unlike me your forced to do what ever he says. A slave and nothing more. If anything your his pet that he could easily put down once he's bored with you."
" Heh, I guess your right, but as long as I get to kill people and cause destruction I'll gladly be someone's 'pet' as long as I get to do that."
" You truly are psychotic aren't you."
" Would you have me any other way?"
" If it was me then I would have you torn limb from limb and cast into the flames where I could watch you burn and melt away slowly and painfully."
" And you call me psychotic."
" Did you forget that we're suppose to be getting a certain target, or did you forget?!"
Keigo however was to busy removing the intestines on him to have noticed Sabu talking to him. " Huh, were you saying something?" This made Sabu face palm himself as a response.
" That's it! We're leaving now!" Sabu yelled as he grabbed Keigo and jumped to tree tops. " Hey wait a minute I didn't even get to take a picture of my masterpiece!" Keigo cried as they continued to get further and further away from the field. From a bird'a eye view the blood and gore that covered the field revealed a mosaic of a mountain valley filled with life.
Naruto continued to slash and attack the sound nin but failed to do so. Every time he would attack one of them the other two were always there to counter him. What seemed as though him getting frustrated he began storing up energy.
The sudden build of power was clearly seen as the energy around him began illuminating blue. Wild yet tamed the power build-up was getting fiercer and fiercer. The ground below him cracked and the wind howled. Evertone was trying to cover their eyes from the the dirt and dust the wind was picking up.
" Kenji brace yourself!" Anguirus yelled in his mind.
" Everyone He's building up very dangerous energy brace yourselves!" Kenji exclaimed to them. However, in the corner of his eye he saw something. Within a couple seconds Jirōbō attacked the group and managed to land a heavy blow to Anko's side.
" Normally I don't go after trash like you, but I think all together you'll make for a good appetizer." He chuckled. Quickly the genin collected themselves and prepared to fight.
However before they could begin Naruto had finished gathering all the energy he needed and then released it. All of the concentrated energy was released into a massive discharge that brought up the earth and sent fierce and violent winds in all directions.
This sent the genin flying only to be caught by Anko's shadow snake technique. Kenji was using his cloak's claws to plant himself to the ground, but even he began to get blown away. Thankfully the discharge ended not a few seconds later leaving a huge cloud of dust to cover the battlefield.
The snakes around the genin lowered them back to ground before disappearing. Kenji remained where he was at eyes glued to the spot he saw Naruto last to see if he had used up all the power he could dust began to reseed and eventually fade away allowing the genin plus Anko to see the damage from the discharge.
The ground was scorched all around and inside a decent sized crater where they foun Naruto in the center of it. They continued looking and found the sound nin across from them on the other side of the crater with Orochimaru. Speaking of sound nin...
" Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling!" Yelled Jirōbō as he launched a massive chunk of earth at the genin. Realizing the attack was huge and fast they immediately countered.
" Let's go Akamaru! GESTUGA!" Kiba yelled as he and a newly transformed Akamaru did their trademark tag team move to pierce and break apart the piece of earth. Next Hinata stepped up and began using her gentle fist technique to get rid of any other huge chunks that Kiba and Akamaru may have missed.
Shino proceeded to use his insects to distract the enemy. " Damn bugs! Get off of me!" Jirōbō yelled as he swatted at shino's insects. Choji then used his "Super expansion jutsu" to make his arms big enough to grab a hold of Jirōbō. " Shikamaru are you ready?" Choking asked as he looked towards his friend.
" Yeah. Shadow possession jutsu!" He exclaimed as his shadow shot out towards Jirōbō and grabbed ahold of his shadow linking thier movements. " What the hell! Why can't I move damn it?!" Jirōbō yelled.
" Sorry but I don't feel like explaining it to you. Ino hurry it up trying to maintain this jutsu is becoming more troublesome than it already is." Shikamaru exclaimed.
" Alright already, you become really bossy when your agitated. Mind destruction jutsu!" She announced as she took control over the mind of Jirōbō.
"There now that will hold him so long as we can keep this up."Shikamaru explained.
" My insects are currently eating away at his chakra to help keep the resistance down, but still his chakra reserves are still pretty large." Shino explained.
" Damn, you kids are pretty good aren't you." Anko whistled. She was impressed at how fast they each reacted and how they teamed up easily to assist each other.
Kenji noticed it to but was to busy trying to focus on Naruto to compliment his new friends. " Kenji, what exactly will happen to Naruto if this continues?" Sakura asked. Kenji was quiet for a few seconds before he replied. " Usually when a wielder of a kaiju looses control it basically means that something has happeneD to the bond or pact that they have made with their Kaiju. But in Naruto's case I'm going to assume he never made a bond or pact with his Kaiju and that this power was a result of that seal that was placed on him. That also mean that sense we do not sense his chakra at the moment then we may have to presume that his chakra network may be whacked right now and is trying to stabilize itself."
" Is there any risk to his being if that happens to him?"
" I could only guess as to what could happen, but my guess is that if this keeps up not only might his psychical body be harmed, his mind might also be damaged if not lost if this progress long enough."
" Then what are we going to do?!"
" I'm about to jump in their and knock him out of it, and hopefully do it without causing to much harm."
" You can't fight him! For one your still injured!"
" Don't worry I heal fast thanks to my Kaiju, and don't worry I'm only going to keep him busy until help gets here."
With that Kenji jumped towards Naruto with his fist reeled back. Naruto just barely noticed until his face made contact with Kenji's fist Sending him back a few feet. " Alright Naruto it's time for you to comeback to your senses!" Kenji exclaimed.
Back with the genin Ino was trying her hardest to subdue Jirōbō's mind but was beaten and her jutsu fell. This caused Jirōbō to regain consciousness as well as the situation. " Alright you little brats I think it's time for me to get serious!" He yelled as he activated his curse mark. The triangle patterns began spreading across his body until they eventually stopped and with this new boost he not only able to break the shadow possession jutsu but also release himself form Choji's grip and deal with the pesky insects. " Now I'm gonna ground you into the ground you trash!" As he then charged at them with full force.
Kenji had just dodged another attack from Naruto as he slid to the right followed by a swift kick to the back. The kick made Naruto stumble a little but only for a second, as he quickly turned and lashed out at Kenji scratching his left shoulder. Jumping away to recover Kenji leapt to the left before charging in to attempt to deliver a roundhouse kick with his right leg.
Naruto quickly dodged and grabbed Kenji's leg and tossed him into the ground where he slid back a few feet. Catching his breath Kenji got up and immediately fell into fell into a defensive stance as be blocked and dodged the incoming barrage of kicks and punches. Though a few made contact he still continued on and landing a few blows as well.
" I'll admit in this state your pretty strong Naruto, but you must gain back control!"
Naruto then charged in preparing to unleash more of his strength onto Kenji. Just before he could make it Kenji went through some hand signs. " Earth Style: Great Skyward Pillars!" He announced as several huge pillars of earth shot towards the sky from the the ground bellow.
Kenji was on top of one of the pillars while Naruto remained on the ground bellow never dropping eye contact. Those eyes of his could turn any person as pale as a ghost just by looking at them. But making eye contact made it seem like your very soul was screaming to escape their sights.
The moment soon ended when Naruto charged again at Kenji. This time to counter, Kenji went through some different hand signs. " Earth Style: Rapid Flying Bullets!" He yelled. This time the earth bullets were coming from the many different sized pillars all around firing at Naruto.
The bullets made contact but with dust building up it was pretty hard to tell if Naruto was even there anymore. As soon as he canceled the jutsu and waited for the dust to clear he was shocked to see what he saw. Naruto was completely unharmed and didn't even seemed fazed in the slightest.
' Damn it! Did he even feel any of that?'
" Probably not since Godzilla was able to take massive explosives constantly. If anything he might of just thought of as just the wind." Anguirus explained.
' Then why didn't you tell me that before I launched a jutsu at him!?'
" Huh, oh. I forgot that's all. I mean it has been a long time since I've seen him you know."
' Well then is there any other type of information that I should know about?'
" Yeah, if he starts focusing energy to one point, run."
' Run? Why would I run?'
" Let's just say you hope that he doesn't do it otherwise it would mean it will be a lot harder for us to deal with him."
' Ok, I'll remember that.'
His conversation was soon interrupted by the sounds of frustration. Naruto was attempting to use chakra to scale the pillar but found that he couldn't. " Oh, I forgot to explain that even though your chakra network is a mess right now, it usually takes some serious training to be able to use it while in Kaiju mode."
Naruto, still enraged, began hitting the earth pillar that Kenji was on. " You know you can hurt your hands by doing that." Kenji told him.'Though you are cloaked so he most likely doesn't feel anything.'
Suddenly a large thud followed by slight tremor occurred as the pillar Kenji was on began to fall. " Damn it!" Kenji mumbled as he quickly jump to another pillar only to have the same thing happened again. This continued on until finally Kenji slipped and fell allowing Naruto to deliver a heavy blow. He slammed his fist into Kenji side causing a painful snapping sound to be heard before delivering a swift kick to Kenji's chest sending him through a couple pillars.
" Kenji you only have a couple minutes before you exit stage 1, and need to stop soon because you fight with a few broken ribs!" Anguirus warned him.
' I kind of figured he broke my ribs when I heard the snapping sound. Also don't worry I sense that the reinforcements are almost here. So I just have to keep this up a little longer.'
Naruto soon appeared as he began unleashing rapid and wild attacks that many Kenji couldn't dodge. Eventually Naruto grabbed Kenji and flung him into another pillar causing it to fall over, leaving a cloud of dust to cover the scene.
As the dust was clearing one could see Kenji was laying on the ruble knocked out and out of Kaiju mode. Naruto seemed to have begun to relax as he calmed down. That was until a rather long sword pierced him and sent him flying out of the trench and back towards the genin.
On the other side of the field Orochimaru had released his Kiusanagi and used it to attack Naruto. Naruto, still attached to the blade, crashed right next to genin and Jirōbō causing an explosion on impact from the shear force. Surprised by seeing something fly by, the genin quickly tried to figure out what just happened.
Jirōbō quickly identified the blade and put on a smug look. " It looks like Lord Orochimaru just took care of one of your little buddies." He laughed as he taunted them. Looking back at the crater they only saw Kenji there unconscios or rather they hoped he was unconscious. Then wait that would mean the person flew by was...Naruto.
"RRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
Suddenly huge wave of energy erupted from the area where he landed not a few seconds ago. It was far more immense than the previous times, so much so that it was becoming harder to breath for those nearby.
The energy being released was the same blue color from earlier, but the one difference from last time was that back then the energy was being concentrated and stockpiled. This time though the energy was being released from the start.
Inside the vail of energy a silhouetted image of Naruto was changing. Something erupted from his back that resembled spikes and a tail like appendage appeared as well. The energy vail soon began to swirl around him and shield him from the world.
Around this time Kenji was coming to. He lifted his head to get a look at what was happening. What he saw shocked him and all he could do was whisper two things, " Stage 2"
Anko was trying make head over tails what was happening. All she could figure out was that Naruto was releasing large amounts of energy. It seemed though that the energy was protecting Naruto at the moment or something. She attempted to stand up again but found she couldn't.
The attack from Jirōbō must done more than she first expected, and it didn't help that he also drained some of her chakra in that attack. She looked over at Orochimaru, and saw that he was sheathing his Kusanagi. She really wanted to kill that bastard but knew that she needed to remain with the genin.
Speaking of that snake he was preparing to leave. " Kidōmaru, Sakon, Tayuya prepare to retreat."
" Lord Orochimaru what about Jirōbō?" Sakon asked him. Orochimaru looked towards Jirōbō with a neutral expression before a sinster smile crept up on his face. " If anything Jirōbō has up to his usefulness and besides i'll be able to see the effects of that power on body thanks to him." He replied before turning away to jump, but was stopped when a Kunai was thrown at him.
Quickly dodging Orochimaru the the sound three were immediately surrounded by leaf nin. Mostly jonin and instructors. " Well this is a surprise ' lord Hokage' usually you'd send some Anbu to accompany you but this time you brought jonin. I do believe your going senile." He taunted.
" Orochimaru so your the one responsible for this fiasco!" Sarutobi said as he faced down Orochimaru.
" I think you have bigger problems than picking a fight me sensei."
Sarutobi just grumbled as he continued to face down Orochimaru. Kenji was currently trying to climb out of the wreckage when all of a sudden he was pulled straight out as though with ease. He looked and saw that it was Zabuza who pulled him out.
" Looks like you had your ass handed to you." He said.
" I Feel it trust me."
" How far has he been pushed?"
" A seal was placed on his stomach by that snake guy and well you can guess what happened next. But right now we must be very careful."
" So Naruto is in there I take it." Zabuza said as he pointed over to the veil of energy.
" It's now stage 2."
" I see."
At the same time Kakashi made it over to the genin with Asuma and Kurinai. Each checking their students while also watching Jirōbō. He in turn remained at a distance while also watching them. No one made a move and it remained that way until suddenly someone was sent flying out of the trees. It was Haku, who eventually caught himself in midair.
Using the distraction the sound four threw some explosives which caused the leaf nin to jump away. Upon contact they each set off the explosives giving them their chance to escape.
" Dont let them get away." Sarutobi oreded and the rest complied leaving him and jonin senseis. " As for the current situation. We must take care of the problem at hand and calm down Naruto."
" Just what exactly is the situation?" Kuranai asked.
" The problem is that besides being a jinchuuriki, Naruto also just by chance is a wielder of catastrophic power." Zabuza started as he helped Haku up. " Zabuza-sama there is someone else here than the sound nin." Haku explained, soon as he finished clapping was heard. And the mysterious figure from before revealed himself.
" I must congratulate you on surviving that light attack. You see all the people that wore masks were to slow and were nothing special." The voice said. It sounded heavy if not slightly rough verifying that the stranger was male.
The figure emerged from the tree line. He was around 5'5 and had lavender short hair and eyes. He wore a light brown over coat with black Spinoni pants and sandals. And he also wore a black long sleeve jacket underneath with lavender lines going down the side.
Overall he appeared to be an ordinary shinobi if it wasn't for the linger of death he carried. " I do apologize for killing your men but they spotted me and attempted to question me. And well I didn't want to be questioned."
" Just who are you, and do you carry death?!" Zabuza asked as he got ready his Kubikiribōchō out and ready to use.
" Me I'm an observer if you will." He replied cooly
" And what exactly are you observing?" Sarutobi asked.
The stranger simply smiled and craned his neck in the direction of the energy veil that held Naruto. " Why little shiny over there in the energy veil. He's quite unique you know. It's not everyday you find the sole survivor of an almost extinct clan and a Kaiju wielded you know."
Suddenly Zabuza attacked with Haku as they charged forward. The mysterious person just grinned as he disappeared. Not a second later he appeared behind them as Zabuza and Haku flew in separate directions.
" You know what it wasn't wise to charge in so blindly especially when you don't know anything about."
" Kenji be careful he's a wielder as well, and one I don't feel to keen to be around him."
' Why?'
" He's someone from my past. Someone I didn't want to see again."
" You know what it really has been awhile since I've felt your presence Anguirus." the mysterious man said looking at Kenji. " I believe that the last time I saw you I believe you had a different host if not your host sure seems a little younger?"
Kenji'a eye went wide at what he heard. It could have been a coincidence but he knew what it really meant. This man before him was the one who killed his father.
Well there we go chapter 8 is done. Now I know that I didn't follow the criteria of mine with posting and setup but something's have been happening and I still got to get use to doing it on my phone for the time being. Anyway let me know what you think and I'll see you later.
This is 1Ring2RuleThemAll see ya!
