Hey guys and girls.
Welcome back to a new chapter for Heir Of Bones. So a quick recap. Naruto and his team have now gone into the second part of the Chunin Exams and have found that Shukaku is causing Gaara problems. Well shit.
As well, the thing about Yuki is that she will love Naruto. But will she handle the truth about knowing that he holds the Alpha Stigma? A horrid power that is extremely deadly. Will she accept the fact that she will abandon many things to be with him?
Only time will tell.
Enjoy.
Disclaimers: I own nothing.
Chapter 9: Finish And Being Finished.
Deciding to catch a bit of a break, Ferris opened a bottle of water she had on her as well as Naruto and Lilith. They had been running for good few hours and they still hadn't run into any form of teams.
But their musings were cut short when they soon heard the sound of an explosion. It sounded pretty close by. Speeding off in the direction it came from they found a grass nin and Yuki battling it out. Yuki looked to be exhausted while the grass nin stood there, seemingly playing with his/her food.
Naruto, seeing that Yuki wasn't doing so good, told Lilith and Ferris to provide support for him as he went to assist Yuki. Doing as he told, Lilith brought out her rifle and Ferris unsheathed her sword. Ready to bring down a rain storm of Magic on this guy if need be.
"So smart for you to jump in. But you're more stupid then I thought." said the person.
"And who the fuck are you? More importantly, why are you attack her when she was defensless?" snapped Naruto taking on a stance as Magic swirled around him.
"Hm, that power. It's so strong. Just who are you exactly?" asked the man.
"It's only fitting to give your name first." said Naruto.
"Fair enough. My name is Orochimaru." said the man.
"Hm. Nyx is my name. Now that you know it. I'm gonna beat the living shit out of you." said Naruto charging forward.
The man nw identified as Orochimaru, evaded every strike against Naruto. But the reason why Naruto wasn't using any spells was because he didn't want to endanger Yuki. The majority of his spells focused on wide spread carnage. And that he didn't like showing off his powers. Ainz told him that the power of a Void Devil Slayer. Is more of a curse type gift. A curse because the more he uses the powers, the more the marks spread.
"Come on, use your powers." said Orochimaru as he pushed Naruto away.
"Fire!" shouted Naruto giving the two girls the signal. Two projectiles were launched, a direct hit ould occur very soon.
But Orochimaru just moved out the way the two shots hitting the ground making a very big dent in the ground. But it didn't stop there. Orochimaru vanished from sight and struck Ferris and Lilith at the back of the neck, knocking them out in an instant. Naruto witnessed this and began to seeth with rage.
"How worthless. They would never be anything. Maybe you could be more. If you trained better." said Orochimaru as he jumped down.
"You're a dead man." snapped Naruto as he began to gather up his Magic.
Pushing his Magic into his mouth he breathed in sharply as he continued to compress the Magic in his mouth. Yuki stared in horror as Naruto was in a sense doing a Katon jutsu.
"Void Devil's Rage!" shouted Naruto as a blast of pure dark energy lept from his mouth. Trees and branches were mowed down in the process of what happened. Pieces of ground were charred and still burning as the full force of the attack was felt. Orochimaru looked on in shock at the sheer power this one person held.
"Impressive. I can make that power even better." said Orochimaru as he etended his neck and latched onto Naruto's neck.
Caught off guard, Naruto grabbed the bastard giving him a hickey and yanked his head from his neck. Only to feel strange as he once again felt the uneasy power he was all too familiar. Grabbing his head as he glared at Orochimaru who was smiling lie a cheshire cat.
"Do you have any idea on what you've done?" snapped Ferris as she looked at Naruto who was begin to have his Magic take on a more ruthless atmosphere to it.
"I gave him something to remember me by." cooed Orochimaru as he shunshinned away.
"Dammit. Nyx, calm down." said Ferris as she jumped down and approached him.
"I...can't." said Naruto as red lightning sparked around him making both Ferris and Lilith jump back in fear.
"This is bad. Yuki move back now." said Lilith as she pulled out a talisman.
"Kami's Way Of Binding: Seal!" said Lilith as she threw the talisman at Naruto with it burning away.
Nothing happened apart from the clouds turning black and every single wildlife became silent at the sheer power that they felt.
"You have to get out of here now, Yuki. Run far away as fast as you can." begged Naruto as his eyes slowly began to turn.
"What do you mean...?" trailed Yuki as she walked up to him.
"Too late. Lilith fire!" barked Ferris with Lilith pointing the rifle at Naruto.
Firing a Magic bullet their eyes widened when they realised the bullet bounced off with no effect.
"Tiny worm. Do you think that will have any effect on me?" spoke the Alpha Stigma as Naruto stuggled to contain it.
"Naruto-kun!" shouted Ferris with Lilith slamming her mouth shut.
"Wait. Naruto?" said Yuki looking at the teen who had the top part of his clothes burned away and him going into a frenzy.
The sounds of manical laughing echoed through the forest as Naruto lost all control and the Alpha Stigma flared to life into his eyes. Lightning split the sky as thunderous claps were heard. Winds picked up creating a hurricane effect as the very ground shook from the power of the Alpha Stigma.
"Quick, we need to close his eyes!" shouted Lilith as she shielded her eyes as rubble and dirt flew everywhere.
"I know!" retorted Ferris.
Yuki could only watch on in shock as the stories her parents told her about a vicious demon roaming the lands. Holding horrid eyes and able to mow everything down in seconds. But what she found was something surprising, what her parents told her about the monster having no heart was a lie. Naruto did his best to surpress the power but failed in the end. What her parents also told her was the name of the monster being Naruto.
Charging head on at Naruto, Ferris swung her sword but was shot back as Naruto launched a blast of wind at her. Lilith clicked her tongue as she aimed and fired several bullets at Naruto. Those were blown away by him by just waving his hand.
"Naruto, stop!" shouted Ferris as she got up.
"All things must come to an end. The world is my playground. You, my toys." said the Alpha Stigma as lightning struck from the heavens, creating a shockwave of power. Sending everyone flying.
"How do we stop this?" asked Yuki walking over to Lilith and Ferris.
"It's simple, but not simple." replied Lilith as she slowly got up but dropped to the floor.
Looking down she found her knee bleeding out.
The impact from that shockwave did a serious number on her leg and now she couldn't stand up.
"Tell me and I'll help you." said Yuki determined to help stop this.
"Close his eyes. But you need to get close enough to do it. And with that Magic going out like that, it is extremely difficult." said Ferris as she helped Lilith.
Walking over to Naruto, Yuki threw a set of Kunai and Shuriken to only hae them stop in mid air, spin around and be launched back at her. Dodging them by only a meer fraction of a second. Yuki found that she was at a serious disadvantage. The Magic being produced was so strong it was like she was fighting a god.
"What are you?" she called out.
"Monster, hero, devil, god. Call me what you will." said the Alpha Stigma as he reached up and covered his eyes. Pulling them down he had the seals on his palms and pointed them at Yuki.
"Watch out!" shouted Lilith.
Barely dodging the attack, as a beam of pure black and red Magic burst forth from his hands, Yuki looked back to find a whole bunch of trees destroyed as if they were nothing but paper.
Turning back she sprinted at Naruto, doing her best at dodging the beams being launched at her. But just as she got close, a beam knicked her shin and she dropped to the floor, not even 10 feet away from Naruto.
Holding her leg in pain as blood gushed out the wound, she looked up at the emotionless laughing face of Naruto, who was rearing up for another attack. Slowly getting up she dove forward and managed to pin him below her.
"I know you're in there. Stop letting this thing control you!" she shouted making Naruto's eyes widen, regaining himself in the sea of bloodlust.
"Yuki, I'm sorry. I can't do it. You're gonna have to close my eyes." said Naruto.
Yuki nodded and slowly her hand reached down to his face, but as her hand was about to make contact, one of Naruto's hands shot up and grabbed her neck and started squeezing.
"Naru...to. Stop." she said as she struggled to breathe.
"You're not..like them." she said as the tightening became stronger, but loosened when she said those words.
"You're not like them!" she shouted as she drove in and close his eyes.
The sky turned back to normal and the sounds of animal life returned to the background of sounds. Naruto passed out as he lay there. His Magic completely empty as he breathed in sharply.
"Thank you." said Ferris as she hefted Lilith up and walked over to Naruto.
"Start explaining." demanded Yuki looking over to them.
"We'll do that when we finish here." said Lilith as Naruto stirred from under Yuki who shot up with her fce turning red when she realised just how defined Naruto was.
"Not again." said Naruto looking at what he did to the surrounding area.
"It's not your fault." said Ferris.
"I know. But I can't let this get out of control. It needs to stop." said Naruto.
"I agree." said Yuki.
Just as they were about to go on, Kushina and Minato jumped into the clearing. Their weapons drawn as they searched for where that power came from. Turning to the group they asked what happened.
"Don't know kaa-san." lied Yuki surprising Naruto, Ferris and Lilith.
"I swear that was the same power we felt all those years ago." stated Minato with Kushina agreeing.
"We'll let you know if we see it again." said Naruto getting up from the ground.
"Thank you young man." said Minato as they ran off.
Moving to the tower in the center after Yuki handed them a scroll she found, they headed into the tower and solved the little riddle written there. Taking some time they took a room on the second floor. But just as they were about to wind down, Yuki came into their room and sat on the bed with her putting up a privacy seal.
"Start talking." she said as she crossed her arms.
And scene.
So Naruto has went wild again with his Alpha Stigma powers taking over him again. As well, Yuki now knows that Naruto is the bearer of the Alpha Stigma. Which her parents told her about many times over.
Is she willing to keep it a sacret? Or will she snitch on them and have them killed?
Find out in the next chapter, of Heir Of Bones.
