Assassin

Shadow and Naruto arrive to their destination.

"So, my parents in that mountain?" Naruto ask Shadow, looking at the mountain in the distance.

"Yes, I can feel it and the darkness energy too" Shadow answers him. "But before we go any further, you need to…"

"I know" Naruto said already knowing what Shadow is about to say. "I need to deal with the fox in me...the Nine tails"

Naruto looks down at his stomach. He places his hand on it.

"Yes, you need to be able to control some piece of the nine-tailed fox, I think that would eliminate the darkness inside you" Shadow tells him.

"Ok.." Naruto said softly, clenching his jacket over his stomach. "I'm ready"

"Good...I'm going to send you to face the nine tails, just know...this is your fight...you will have to decide whether to let the darkness take over or not" Shadow said placing his hand on Naruto's chest. "Good Luck"

Then Shadow presses his hand in Naruto's chest whose eyes widen.

OOO

Naruto eyes open within the darkness. He can feel the water flowing around his ankles. He can also see the caged fox who is staring back at him with its piercing red eyes.

"What do you want boy" The nine tails said with an angry tone.

"Your chakra" Naruto responds narrowing his eyes at him.

"My Chakra...Hahaha, you idiot boy, you can't handle my chakra"

"Oh ya.." Naruto said twisting his hand on top of his stomach causing the lock on the cage to swirl open. "Let's see about that"

The nine tails growls at Naruto and clenches its teeth. Naruto makes a hand sign.

"Multi-Shadow clone jutsu" Naruto said creating multiple copies of him that fills the room.

Each clone carries the rasengan and all are heading straight for the nine-tail fox who just swung its tails at a bunch of them, causing them to disappear. Some of the clones hit the fox but didn't make much damage.

"Is that all you got..BOY!" Ninetails said loudly.

"No.." The original Naruto said, smirking while entering sage mode.

He creates two more shadow clones of himself. The nine tails glares at Naruto and slowly starts creating the chakra bomb.

The two shadow clones turn to Naruto's side. They start generating wind chakra which soon creates two raseng-shurikans, above Naruto's palms. He starts running toward the ninetails while its charging the chakra bomb. His expression shows no fear but confidence which the nine tails sees.

Naruto throws the one shurikan directly at the chakra bomb right when the ninetails is about to launch it at Naruto. The contact makes a huge explosion in front of the ninetails face. The fox shakes his head from the blast feeling a little dizzy. However, through the smoke from the explosion, Naruto goes right through it with his second raseng-Shurikan.

"Ahhhhhh!" Naruto said heading straight to the nine tails whose eyes widen, seeing how much closer he is getting. "YOUR MINE!"

He smashes his attack right on its head, causing the nine tails to smash against the floor creating a big splash in water. The force of the attack is pressing against the nine tails head.

"NOW!" Naruto said creating hundreds more of himself.

Each one grabs the nine tails legs and tails, pinning it in place.

"ROOOAAARRR!"

Even getting hit with that attack on the head, the nine tails still has a lot of fight in it. It starts struggling under the clones hold. Naruto lands on its back and grabs a chunk of its chakra causing the nine tails to scream. He jumps right off, sliding backwards on the water with the nine tails chakra, that is stretching out of it.

"Aaaurghh" Naruto said trying to pull the rest of the nine tails chakra but the nine tails is pulling back. "Damn it!"

Five more clones appear and starts pulling Naruto and the chakra out of the ninetails. Suddenly, the orange stream of chakra connecting to the fox and Naruto starts being consumed in blue chakra which is Naruto's.

"NO!"

The ninetails roars causing Naruto's Chakra to stop in place and its chakra starts consuming his.

"Noo...argh!" Naruto said clenching his teeth. "It can't end like this"

Naruto clenches his eyes and teeth. He holds the ninetails chakra tighter. "I can't lose this...not yet!" He thought.

The sound of a drop, echos across the room and a voice whispers in Naruto's ear.

"You can do it.."

Naruto eyes widen hearing a familiar voice and starts to yell.

"AHHHH!" Naruto yells causing the ninetails chakra to stop and have his chakra consume more of the stream than before.

The ninetails is furious and opens its mouth. Its about to start the chakra bomb until silver chains came out from the ground and wrapping around it.

"ARUGHHHH!" The nine tails screams feeling the chains digging into its skin.

The fox falls once again which caused Naruto to consume the stream much faster.

"AHH!"

OOO

Naruto eyes widen a bit and looks at his hands. They are glowing brightly along with his whole body.

"Whats this?" Naruto said feeling so much chakra in his body.

"A cloak of the nine tails chakra...its seems like you were able to take a piece of it after all" Shadow states with a smile.

Naruto smiles and places his hand on his stomach. He twists the seal, locking the nine tails within him again and its chakra turning Naruto back to normal.

"So, shall we go then" Naruto said to Shadow with a serious expression.

Shadow nods seeing a new Naruto in his expression. He turns around and looks up at the mountain.

"Get ready for a big fight Naruto...be careful with your identity too, Kakashi may know who you are but your parents and everyone else doesn't...it may get complicated if they find out" Shadow said to him.

"I'll try not to" Naruto tells him.

"Good, lets go" Shadow said running ahead with Naruto running behind him.

OOO

"there's so many of them" Minato states looking over hundreds of dark foxes in front of the cave.

"Ya, and right behind them is our wives" Yuzu said clenching his teeth seeing Kushina and Stella tied up in dark chains on a poll.

"Wait, I think there's someone else" Minato said squinting his eyes at a young boy next to Kushina also tied up in chains.

"Who the hell is behind all of this?...SHOW YOURSELF!" Yuzu said in anger.

The sound of rattling chains echoes around the area. Everyone turns their attention to the sound. Suddenly the foxes start spreading from the middle and reveals someone in chains and seals with black hair covering his eyes. Yuzu glares at the person chained up.

"It's you" Yuzu said angrily.

The person grins and the chains that binds him slowly fall from his body along with the seals. He cracks his neck and stretches his arms.

"It's been awhile, I loved our talk before when you came to visit me in my cell" the prisoner said grinning.

"How did you escape...you shouldn't be able to use chakra under those constraints" Yuzu responds.

"Hmph...because...there isn't a need for chakra in my case..just" The prisoner states, sliding his hand into his pockets. "my brains"

Right after the prisoner finishes, Minato thought fast and decides to use this opportunity to save their wives. He throws his Kunai at the direction where Kushina and Stella are. He teleports right when the Kunai pierces the mountain rock, with him holding on to the handle of it. He turns his head to Kushina and Stella, he jumps off the rock. However, the chains that are holding Kushina and Stella starts to shake. Minato eyes widen seeing the chains pull Kushina and Stella away from him.

The girls scream during the ride they are on, feeling the chains digging into their skin. They soon stop right behind the prisoner.

"If you wanted them, you could have just asked" The prisoner said turning himself to Minato.

Minato is surprised about what he said but doesn't believe him. He can see it in his expression, that he's planning something.

"Who are you?" Minato ask him.

"My name is Zane…an assassin" Zane said narrowing his eyes to Minato.

"An assassin.." Minato said softly. "But he's so young"

Zane eyes widen a bit after sensing something from behind and launches himself up in the air, flipping in mid air. During the flip, his eyes are focus on Yuzu who just swung a blade of fire, under him.

Zane lands behind Yuzu and jumps away from him. Yuzu may have missed him but he swung at the chains that binds his wife and sister. He breaks them free.

"Kushina, Stella..are you alright?" Yuzu ask the girls in a worry tone.

"Ya, we're fine" Stella said calmly.

"It just hurts you know" Kushina spoke rubbing the cuts on her arms made by the chains.

Minato is relieved seeing them free and turns his attention to the young boy still chained up. He pulls his Kunai that he had thrown and cuts the chain. He catches the boy.

"Hey, everything is fine now" Minato said warmly.

"Whats going on?" Itachi said with a confused expression.

"Hmm, I'm not quite sure but we need to bring you somewhere safe" Minato tells him. "Where do you live?"

"In the Uchiha village" Itachi answers him.

"Oh, so that means your an Uchiha then" Minato states. "Why did Zane capture you?"

Itachi realizes who's the man holding him. "The fourth hokage" Itachi thought surprised. His eyes sparkle a bit seeing one of the people he looks up too. The warm feeling went away after feeling something dark. He looks around him and notice the dark foxes that captured him. He didn't understand why they did but from looking at the man wearing the white shirt and black pants with a creepy smile, he must have something to do with it.

He is surprised when Minato jumps, feeling a gust of wind hit against his skin. He looks up at Minato who has a fearless expression.

Minato eyes widen after seeing two pairs of dark chains come out of two foxes and jump back however he gets caught along with Itachi by the chains coming from multiple foxes.

"Urgh.." Minato said, feeling himself being moved by the chains that brings him to Kushina and everyone else along with Itachi.

"Minato!" Kushina said relieved seeing him.

The chains disappeared right after Minato and Itachi lands.

"Are you ok?" He ask Kushina softly.

"Yes I am" Kushina responds.

"An assassin" Yuzu said softly glaring at Zane.

"I did say that...and I always get my target" Zane replies.

"Who is your target" Yuzu said in a low tone, clenching his fist. "Our wives?"

"Nope...not just your wives but" Zane responds and snaps his fingers. "All of you here"

Zane grins evilly and the chains that constricted him before, starts wrapping around each of them along with the dark chains binding them more.

"What!, grr..I can't move" Yuzu said trying to break free from his restraints but the seals disabled his chakra flow along with the others.

"Now you can't runaway" Zane tells them.

"Uh!, these stupid chains are making me weak..you know" Kushina states.

"Why would you do this?" Stella ask Zane.

"Because its my job and someone wants you all dead" Zane answers her.

Minato glares at Zane. "This is bad, none of us can use our Chakra, how can we break free" he thought.

"Now my targets are in one place…however, there is one more person I have too take care of" Zane said and turns his back to everyone. "We can't any interruptions now..Can we!"

Zane motion his hands together and starts making hand signs. The foxes turn their heads to the direction Zane is looking in. They all start howling loudly, sending vibrations that makes the tree's shakes. That's when two figures jump out of the tree's.

"Seems like he knew we're here" Shadow said in mid air.

"Ya" Naruto said looking at his parents all chained up. "We need to safe them"

Naruto goes ahead of Shadow.

"Wait Naruto!" Shadow yells catching up to Naruto.

Zane watches them and smirks. He pulls something from his pocket and starts running to them. Once he's under them, he launches himself up to them.

Naruto eyes widen seeing him come close, he prepares himself but, he isn't Zane's target. Instead it is Shadow and didn't even acknowledge that he is there by passing him like it is nothing.

Shadow starts making hand signs, seeing that Zane is after him. Before Shadow can finish, Zane throws a metal disc which explodes right in front of Shadow.

"Missed me" Shadow said behind Zanes and throws a fist.

Zane looks over his shoulder, seeing the fist. Instead of moving away, Zane turns around and moves closer to him. He grins the closer he gets. He slightly moves his head, causing the force of the fist to skid his right cheek.

Shadow's eyes widen from that and feels Zane's hand press against his chest. His mouth opens a bit and feels something wrapping around his chest and it isn't the feeling of chains. However, his thought is interrupted by the two grey eyes, staring so close to him and a devilish smile. Just by looking through Zane's eyes, he realized something about Zane.

"You're not…" Shadow said softly causing Zane to smirk and side kick him so hard.

Shadow crash lands next to everyone else. Right after he hits the ground, dark chains wrap around his body.

"Grrugh.." Shadow said in pain, feeling the chains tighten.

"Shadow!" Naruto said in a worried tone and heads for him but is stop with a side kick in the face.

The force of the kick through him across the field. Once he stopped, Zane lands on the ground. Naruto spits out blood and looks at Zane.

"You bastard" Naruto said angrily.

"Love the makeup" Zane said turning his waist to him showing off a smirk.

Naruto is surprised by his comment. "Does he know, who I am?" He thought to himself. The sound of grunting distracts him. He turns his head to Shadow who is making the sound.

"Ahhh" Shadow said heavily breathing and slowly gets up.

"I'm surprised you're able to get up" Zane tells him.

"Well, when you're in the business...you learn how to cope with anything" Shadow said to him. "I see I got the special treatment, putting this great seal on me disabling my power...thanks"

Zane chuckles softly but stops hearing Shadow chuckle as well and his smile. "Why is he smiling for" He thought confused.

"You're scared of me that much, Zane?" Shadow asked.

"What?" Zane said changing his expression completely, looking at Shadow with an angry glare.

"I can tell, you're not from around here...are you?" Shadow asked with a smirk.

"What are you saying, Shadow?" Yuzu ask him.

"Nothing really Yuzuma, just two guys talking" Shadow answers him.

"Hmph...don't think I don't know what you're doing" Zane said slightly lowering his head causing his hair to cover his eyes.

"And what would that be?" Shadow asked.

A small smirk appears on his face. Suddenly the ground explodes in front of him, with a fist coming right at his face from the ground.

Everyone except Shadow who is smiling, are surprised to see Menma come out from the ground and about to upper cut Zane.

Naruto's eyes locks on Zane's. "I'm not going to miss!"
