Hello! WeedleBu here! I know that it's been a really long time - 5 weeks I think - since I uploaded. However, I'm really excited about this chapter. It's about 4,000 words and is my longest chapter yet. I really like this chapter. Please ignore the first 4 or so chapters. I plan to rewrite them.

Naruto fell to his knees and howled as his vision was filled with black spots. I see. This is Susano'o. It hurts! Naruto wiped the blood away from his eyes to see everything with such clarity. No matter how much training or how much chakra Naruto pumped to his eyes, he would've never been able to see like how he could now. The entire room was filled with a green ethereal skeleton. The ribcage was about as thick as Naruto's and an arm appeared when Naruto raised his arm, looking at the skeletal arm curiously. It hurts more when I use it, but it really might help.

Kakashi tensed up. Susano'o. The ultimate power of the Mangekyou Sharingan. He started performing hand seals at a swift rate. Ox → Rabbit → Monkey.

"Raikiri!" Kakashi jumped on the wall and raced at the green monstrosity. Naruto stood up and tried to bat the jounin away, but Kakashi activated his Sharingan at the last second. He propelled himself off the wall and landed on the ceiling. From the roof, he leaped towards the green monstrosity. He raised his hand and yelled.

"Raikiri!" The lightning cutter slammed into the green monster and Kakashi was reflected into the ground.

As Kakashi stood up again Menma looked around for a second. "Where is Fukasaku? Where is Shima?" Naruto laughed. "Do you really want to know?" Menma started towards him. "The hell are they?" Naruto laughed even harder. "Are you sure?" Menma grew impatient. "Yes!" Naruto teleported in front of Menma with his Susano'o deactivated. "They're dead." Menma's eyes grew wider. Naruto whispered into his ear. "Just like how I killed Shisui less than an hour before." Menma growled, his eyes taking on a reddish hue." Naruto stepped forward into the punch, and smashed into Menma with a senjutsu chakra infused fist. Menma flew back and hit the wall.

Naruto teleported behind Kakashi and Mito. Menma was reminded of how Naruto had teleported around Menma and Mito when he first tried to escape. He knelt down next to Menma and said loud enough for the other two to hear. "And how I killed Kiba all those years ago." Menma's jaw hung open as dark red blood flowed out. He was the one … who killed … who killed Kiba … Fukasaku ... Shima …. Shisui. My friends! Menma howled. Naruto jumped back. Red chakra surrounded Menma as he went into his three tailed stage.

Mito started to convulse and she did the same. If the Yang chakra acted up, then the Yin would as well. Both of them entered their 3 tailed cloaks in Version 1. Naruto narrowed his eyes but coughed when his Mangekyou Sharingan deactivated. My Sharingan! Actually, that's the least of my problems. Last time they used this, they only went into 1 tails. How powerful is 3 tails? Noticing that his ocular powers had deactivated, Menma and Mito shot forward and Naruto was hit in the chest.

The Sharingan user flew back until he slammed into the back of the cave. Naruto spat blood out of his mouth and gently touched his fist. He winced as pain shot through his body and narrowed his icy eyes. They're fast! They blindsided me! Naruto made clones and pumped chakra through his body and activated his Sharingan again. He raced past a seemingly stationary Kakashi and body slammed Mito. He backflipped over Menma's punch and landed behind him. Naruto scythed Menma's legs from under him and dropped underneath Mito's kick. Naruto turned back around and slammed Menma into the ground and caught Mito's fist. He spun around on the balls of his feet, grabbed her arm and body hauled her into Menma. The Kyuubi chakra retreated back into the siblings.

By this time, Kakashi had defeated the clones and raced after Naruto. Naruto's Sharingan started to bleed. The blonde gasped lightly. Naruto's heart bumped irrationally. Blood dribbled from Naruto's mouth and eyes. As Kakashi was running he did a quick analysis. Naruto just transplanted his Mangekyou Sharingan after barely beating Shisui. Then, he immediately used Susano'o and went up against two jinchuurikis. His Sharingan is somewhat overused at this point.

Kakashi's hand twitched and Chidori activated. He raced towards Naruto who was vigorously wiping his eyes. Kakashi swung his hand.

Everything went into slow motion as Naruto's Sharingan activated again. Naruto's eyes widened as he realized how close Kakashi's Chidori was. He pumped chakra to his arm to the point of bursting and grabbed Kakashi by the wrist. Naruto set his knee into Kakashi's chest and flipped Kakashi over his shoulder into the ground. Naruto stomped on his arm breaking it and teleported behind Menma before slamming him into the ground with Naruto's hand on Menma's throat. Naruto turned around and kicked Mito into a wall. He stood there panting, his arm burned from the overload of chakra.

The Sharingan had boosted his own chakra reserves, but he was wearing out. Over the last week or so, he had made 50 clones, fought Shisui twice, replaced his eyes, used Susano'o, fought Kakashi, fought the jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi, while his clones were still running around Yugakure being chased by Sasuke.

Naruto made a clone and rushed back towards Mito. She barely dodged his heel, and she thrust her fist at him. Naruto moved his head just to the side of the punch and smashed his fist into her stomach. Naruto turned over and jumped over Menma's kick and caught his punch. He kicked Menma's knees in and bent Menma's arm as far back as it could go. With his other hand, Naruto put pressure on the back of Menma's elbow joint. Naruto increased the pressure and swiftly broke Menma's arm. Menma howled and fell to the ground. The yellow haired Sharingan user rolled Menma over and stepped on his broken arm. Menma screamed even harder. Naruto ground his foot into Menma's broken arm. He leaned down and whispered into Menma's ear.

"I'll hurt Mito next." Naruto removed a kunai from his bag and stabbed down. A blur flashed past their vision. Menma's eyes widened as he realized who it was. Mito's green eyes stared down at him and she smiled gently. Her eyes were speaking to him. They said, Don't worry about me. Beat him! Menma's mouth was agape. He tried to close his mouth. Mito ...

Naruto howled. Just before Mito had taken the blow, she had stabbed him. Menma jumped. He put a good 30 feet between the blonde and himself, holding his arm. Menma sat down and started to concentrate.

Naruto growled. "Oh no, you're not going into Sage Mode!" He hurled a few kunai at Menma.

Bubbling red chakra blocked the kunai and surrounded Menma as his whisker marks deepened. Menma's eyes became red instead of their regular blue and his hair spiked out. Menma's canines extended and a dark line became prominent around his mouth. Chakra pumped out of Menma and he went into his 3 tailed state. Menma got on all fours as the bubbles in his chakra grew more frequent. Darker chakra threads emerged from Menma's body.

Naruto's eyes grew wider as the chakra continued to expand. Menma growled and slammed his clawed hand into the ground.

The entire cave exploded. Kakashi jumped back and Naruto teleported to the surface of the cave. Naruto shielded his eyes from the bright sun and the shadow clone he had made started to amass Sage energy. Dust flew around the 3 combatants as Menma started to exert even more chakra. Menma started to roar. The ground around Menma cracked as he started to give off more chakra and killing intent.

Naruto stared down the growling Menma as the wind and dust started to pick up. Soon debris was flying at Naruto but he ignored it as Menma's chakra seemed to slow down. Naruto narrowed his eyes. What's going on? Slowly, out of the bubbling chakra, a fourth tail emerged. Naruto grimaced. He could just beat 3 tails Menma and Mito at the same time, but how powerful was 4 tails? Suddenly, the chakra all retreated back to Menma. Menma's eyes were completely red now and he seemed to be struggling to move.

Naruto's eyes widened as Menma's skin began to peel off. Underneath it lay an extremely dense layer of red chakra. The skin that had been floating in the red chakra had dissolved and all was left was a miniature version of the Kyuubi that still had Menma's countenance underneath. Blood also floated around the monster.

The blood that had emerged from the chakra soon formed a bubble around Menma. Kakashi grabbed Mito and retreated to a safe distance. All of the chakra had receded underneath the surface of the bubble. Smoke started to rise from the bubble or dome and Naruto backed up. He created multiple shadow clones and turned his regular Sharingan on. Then out of the bubble, Menma or maybe the Kyuubi or maybe both emerged. There were still eyebrows, hair, and eyes, but all skin was burnt away.

A mass of chakra emerged from Menma and all of the surrounding trees were blasted away. Kakashi felt the force of the power from the blast from hundreds of meters away. By this time, all resemblance of Menma was gone and his mouth and eyes gave off an unbelievable bright light.

Naruto motioned for his clones to attack. Before he could even react, they had been dispelled by the Kyuubi's power. Naruto grimaced. His eyes widened as he realized that the mini Kyuubi had dug his limbs into the ground. Naruto jumped away out of pure instinct as a chakra limb came out of the ground. Naruto shunshined away as the limb started to chase him. It's chakra is so dense that it can't move its main body. While the chakra limb was fast, Naruto had the Flying Raijin and Shunshin at his disposal. Naruto teleported away again as the limb attacked.

The smaller version of the nine tails stood still as Naruto dodged the limb. Menma withdrew the limb and let out a howl. Small red and blue bubbles started to emerge from its body. Naruto jumped back. What the hell is that? The bubbles started to come together into one large purple one. Naruto cursed. If I'm hit with that, I'm done for. He pumped his chakra into his jutsu and made a clone. They both simultaneously activated their Sharingan. The Sage Mode clone made another clone and dispelled himself. They created a Sage Empowered Rasengan. Naruto smiled grimly. "Bring it on, you damned bastard."

The Kyuubi ate the bomb and shot it out. A massive explosion shot from the Kyuubi's mouth. Naruto roared and activated his Susanoo. He received the Sage Mode and his Susanoo went up to the armoured Susanoo.

The explosion bathed the entire forest in white light. Naruto felt the force from the pulse before the explosion hit him first.

It hit him at once. The thousands of tons of force crushed him completely. His Susanoo was being eroded so quickly, that he could see the parts flying often. His Sage Empowered Rasengan had blocked the Bijuudama for a second. Naruto closed his eyes and started to perform his jutsu signs. His Susanoo could maybe hold up for 2 more seconds.

Kakashi's eyes widened as he watched the massive explosion destroy the forest. Trees and plants flew past as the ground was ripped into pieces. He could feel the tree he was on begin to shake. He jumped away just as the tree was ripped into pieces by the pure shock wave from the destruction. That Susanoo won't hold up!

Menma growled. He could hear blood pumping. A heart that wasn't meant to be was pumping. The soft cough of blood. By now, the shockwave and explosion had worn off.

Naruto lay sprawled out on the ground. He barely could move and had absolutely minimal chakra. But his Mangekyo Sharingan was still activated and he only had enough to do one thing. He started to talk. "My master plan is actually just starting. It starts with barely winning this battle." The Menma Kyuubi monster turned around and growled at him. Naruto stared directly into its eyes. "I just recently learned about this from one of Orochimaru's scrolls. That man is quite the addict, but does good research." Naruto's heart pumped irregularly. Some blood spilled out his mouth. "The Mangekyo Sharingan …", the Kyuubi froze and started to convulse. " … stops the Kyuubi!" Mangekyo Sharingan!

Menma returned to his previous form. His skin was bloody and he clearly had internally bleeding. Naruto directed his attention back to Menma. "That was hard to do because I couldn't get close. However, I teleported behind you at the last second." Menma groaned.

"I'm out of chakra completely. Even a genin or academy student could kill me at this point. I can't move at all." Naruto's heart pumped irregularly again and his Mangekyo Sharingan deactivated until his eyes turned to Shisui's black and then, to his blue.

"The jutsu that I'm performing was for my own vanity. It restored my eyes to the previous blue when I'm not using the Sharingan. I just like my eyes better, I guess."

Naruto sighed. The adrenaline had been whisked out of his system leaving nothing but exhaustion. "Why am I even talking to you? You can't hear me. I guess I still want something."

With tremendous effort, Naruto rolled over. "Menma … Why did you get love and attention from your parents? I always just wanted acknowledgement. I wanted someone to notice me."

A pang of bitterness resonated with his voice as he continued. "It's not fucking fair, is it? I acted fine. I never did anything bad, did I? Before I went rogue, before I started acting up, I never did anything bad. I smiled despite your parents not noticing me."

Naruto rolled over and covered his eyes from the sun. I was too weak again. I couldn't kill you.

"Look where we ended up. From 2 jealous brothers on a playground, one a bully, one a victim, to two men fighting like Kage." Tears of pain and jealousy streaked down Naruto's whiskered cheeks. "Sometimes I wonder why I'm trying to attack Konoha." Then his face was set into hard stone. "Then I remember what the village did. They hurt me. Real bad. They never showed any regret. And Minato didn't even try to stop them."

Naruto looked over at the unconscious Menma. "I had the capability to kill you. Physically and in terms of power. But emotionally …. I couldn't kill you!"

Naruto dragged himself towards Menma inch by inch. Naruto finally reached him and hit Menma with almost pathetically feeble punches. "Damn you! Damn you! Why can't I kill you!?"

Naruto collapsed and clear tears rolled down his face. "Damn you."

Naruto's heart pumped irregularly again and more blood emerged from his mouth. Kakashi arrived and kneeled. He deposited Mito to check on Menma and grabbed Naruto by his cloak. Naruto just stared at him. Blue eyes drilled into Kakashi. Do your worst asshole. Kakashi growled and punched him. The full force of a heavily muscled jounin hitting him with an empowered fist knocked an already exhausted Naruto out.

Kakashi sighed. "Let's take this bastard back to Konoha."

Damn you.

Minato stared down at the unconscious blonde in front of him. Naruto was held in wooden stocks. His head and hands went through the openings and he was locked other than that. I should hate you. I really should. You killed Shisui and Kiba. You killed the only two living Sage Masters of the Toad Mountain. I should really hate you.

Danzo snarled. "What should we do with this traitor?" Minato ignored him, and with a heavy heart looked over to the judge. "What are the charges against him?" The judge looked back sympathetically. "If you want to lower the charges against him, it'll be almost impossible. He is charged with anywhere between 1000 to 2000 accounts of slaughter against the village of Yugakure, and 4 accounts of murder against the village against Konoha."

Minato glanced back down at the indicted. If he would go back 10 years ago, he never would've guessed that the cheery blonde would end up as a S class shinobi. As of 1 week ago, the blonde had gained a "capture on sight" order from Konoha and a "kill on sight" from Kumo for the destruction of Yugakure. That his own son would end up as a shinobi almost as powerful as himself at the mere age of 15 had never crossed his mind.

I should hate you.

He should be disturbed by the fact that no matter what Naruto did or how Naruto acted … he would still always love him. Minato cursed his own nonsensical love. When his children were born, Menma and Mito resembled Kushina. However, Naruto resembled him. Naruto thought like him, acted like him, and looked like him. Minato had always guessed that Menma and Mito would grow to resemble the two best characteristics of Kushina. Her gentleness to Mito and her friendly and hardworking attitude to Menma.

Minato had loved Menma and Mito just as much as Naruto. But Naruto was effectively a clone of himself. While Menma and Mito represented the best part of Kushina, Naruto represented both the good and bad of Minato. Minato always wanted Naruto to grow up and to be like him. After Naruto had grown past the age of 10 and Minato and Kushina had started to ignore him, every time Naruto looked at him, Minato would shiver.

Perhaps I knew he would turn out this way, Minato reasoned with himself. But … I guess I'm responsible for how he turned out. A mass murderer.

Minato's mind flashed back to when he had confronted Kushina with how Naruto had turned out and Kiba's death.

()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()

(Flashback)

Minato approached Kushina. She was sitting on the bed in their bedroom. Ever since Naruto had left, Kushina had acted almost indifferent.

"Hey Kushina." Kushina looked up at him and smiled. "Hey Minato. How was work today?"

Minato grimaced. "One of Menma's classmates died today. He was found on a road with his throat slit."

Kushina winced. "How is Menma taking this? Mito?"

Minato sat down and sighed. Today had been a long day and reasoning with the Inuzuka Clan had been almost impossible. "They're taking it well. But, the main problem is that …. I have evidence to believe that … Naruto did it."

Kushina hissed reminiscent to the Bijuu that had previously resided inside her. "That damned snake!"

Minato rubbed his face with his hands. I knew she would react like this… "Kushina … how he turned out was partially our fault. We ignored him and let the beatings go on. We knew full well that Naruto had no friends and we still let him go on alone!"

Kushina glared at him. "It's not our fault he turned out that way! We were fine parents!"

As Minato tried to reason with her, she continued to repeat that mantra. As if she was trying to convince herself, she continued to say as a response to each of Minato's point, "It's not our fault he turned out that way!" Kushina nodded to herself. "Yeah, it's his fault! He was just a sick child from the start!"

()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()

Kushina was a good person, but when the subject came to Naruto, she refused to take any part in the blame. Minato decided that he would use Kushina as one of the jury or the prosecutor at Kushina's constant insistence. As the Hokage's wife, Kushina could serve as the prosecutor.

Minato glanced up at the clock. 10:00 pm. Minato glanced over at Menma who was in a wheelchair but had insisted upon being present. He looked over at Mito who had basically forced her way in past the security. Meanwhile, his wife sat, a snarl perpetually frozen on her face towards her wayward son. Minato cleared his throat, gaining the attention of the entire courtroom. "The trial of one Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto starts now. Izumo, wake him up."

The Chunin nodded and threw cold water at the traitor. Naruto jerked awake. He shook himself awake. Minato called out to his estranged son. "Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto!"

Naruto snapped towards Minato. "Yondaime Hokage." Then, Naruto fell silent. His cerulean eyes drilled into Minato's. Minato looked away. "You are under trial with irrefutable evidence of 1000 to 2000 charges of murder against the citizens of Yugakure. You are also charged with the murder with Kiba Inuzuka, Shisui Uchiha, and the Two Great Sage Toads. Your prosecutor is Namikaze Uzumaki Kushina. Witnesses include Hatake Kakashi, Uzumaki Namikaze Menma, Uzumaki Namikaze Mito, Uchiha Sasuke, Akira, and Ran."

Minato continued. "Your DNA was found at the destruction of Yugakure, and the site of Inuzuka Kiba's death. You are also charged with creating a fake identity known as Iruzaka Ryuzaki, Destruction of Property and almost fatally wounding Namikaze Uzumaki Menma and Mito. Charged with almost killing Inuzuka Hana and 2 charges of conspiracy with Orochimaru of the Sannin. How do you plead? Note that how you plead will not matter as you will inevitably be placed under the death penalty."

Naruto looked up and cracked a smile. His laughter grew until it resounded throughout the entire courtroom. A thought ran through Minato's mind. Unearthly laughter.

()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()

Naruto stopped laughing and looked up again with a wry smile plastered across his face. "Wrong." The entire court leaned on the edge of their seats. Murmurs filled the room.

"What does he mean by wrong?"

"What is he trying to say?"

"I don't understand!"

"Wrong? The hell does that mean?!"

Naruto scanned the room for potential threats. Shimura Danzo. My sister. Her mother and father. Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Sasuke. Hatake Kakashi. Jiraiya and Tsunade. I can't fight all of these by myself.

Naruto eyes locked onto a stoic Uchiha across him. Uchiha Fugaku! I'll take his eyes!

Naruto then looked back up to Minato and repeated. "Wrong. I am actually charged with 3 counts of conspiracy. I am also charged with theft because I stole the scrolls to Rasengan and Hirashin."

Minato frowned. "Are you pleading guilty?"

Naruto tilted his head. "Yes."

Minato turned to the judge. "What does he mean by 3 charges of conspiracy? He conspired with Orochimaru to get him out of Konoha and to fight with Jiraiya. What's the third?"

Naruto spoke up. "Menma." The tension in the room was palpable. Many of the younger shinobi were having trouble breathing. Menma raised himself and looked at Naruto. "What is it, traitor?", Menma spat. Naruto continued. "When we were fighting, just before I activated my Susanoo, I used a clone with Sage Mode to give me Sage Mode."

Sasuke interfered. "If you're talking about clones, I killed them all in Yugakure!"

The Uchiha were muttering now.

"How did he get Susanoo?"

"Sage Mode?! How did he get that?"

"Did that bastard kill Shisui?!"

"Clones?!"

Menma ignored them and continued. "Yes." Naruto continued. "What did my Sage Mode clone do just before it dispelled?" Menma searched back through his memory. It was rather hard because it was intertwined with fury and horror. But, if he searched far enough, he could remember that Naruto's clone …. It had made another clone just before it had dispelled!

Menma's eyes widened. "He has a clone!" The entire courtroom panicked. Minato got up and shoved past a few Hyuuga. Minato jumped and landed in front of Naruto. "Where the hell is the clone?" Naruto lurched forward. The wood cracked a little and the bonds loosened. The entire court froze. Minato stepped back. "The clone dispelled about 2 days ago." Minato started to think. Since Naruto was taken here, it's been a week. His chakra is back up to full and his clone had dispelled 2 days ago. What's going on?

Lucky for him, Naruto decided to elaborate. "This trial was the only thing that would bring the entire civilian council and clan council together. Not to mention the added bonus of having my entire family in the room all at once. All of the advisors and the remaining 2 Sannin."

Kushina practically snarled. "You lost the right to call us your family long ago!"

Naruto didn't even glance at her. "Silence. I will not deign weaker beings with my time."

Naruto continued. "Only one organization in the world could ever defeat such a powerful group consisting of my family, the Uchiha Clan, and 2 of the Sannin. But, that by itself couldn't defeat the two Sannin as well. So I called in an old favor."

Naruto looked up, his Sharingan spinning wildly. Minato stepped back again. A tiny bit of blood leaked past Naruto's lips. Naruto explained to his father, "I drew a seal on the roof of my mouth with blood that freed my chakra. Your seals are weak!" Minato started to prepare his Hirashin.

All of the citizens in the courtroom were panicking. It was dark out. A S class Shinobi known to be more powerful than both heroes of Konoha was in a room with a plan in mind. Somehow, the doors had been locked meaning if the room was to explode, only a select few would be able to survive.

Naruto grinned as the Konoha walls exploded revealing a group in black cloaks and red clouds. "I called in Orochimaru and the Akatsuki!"
