Chapter Ten – Rage

This was his seventh mission for this week. It had gone smoothly, like it always does. He did not care how much missions he got. He could not afford being weak. The missions were like training seasons to him. They would help him grow stronger, in order to protect his friend.

But, somehow, he couldn't get rid of the feeling that the missions were to keep him out of the village. After she had moved into his house, he was flooded with missions. It was odd. The missions did not disturb him, but the fact that the number increased, after he had gotten a new housemate. His eyes narrowed at that. There was something wrong.

He stopped abruptly as Mother suddenly yanked against the railings of her cage. She hissed, as she tried to take over his mind. Realisation hit him, as he realized what it meant. Without wasting time, he ran towards his house. He speeded through the streets, destroying everything in his way, and not caring about the least of it.

After he had run through the entire village, he finally arrived at his house. He slammed his door open, breaking it, and caused the wall to shake. Immediately he looked for his friend. He found her – covered in blood, breathing harshly but still living – in the kitchen with a shinobi who carried a bloodied kunai in his hand. His eyes bled red. He lost the control and Mother took over. All rational thoughts disappeared as his lust for blood took over. He snarled, crouched down and then he lounged at the shinobi with his extended claws.
