Chapter 10: Early
-X-
Summary: When Sakura dies, Naruto uses a forbidden jutsu to revive her, but this jutsu doesn't require chakra to be used. One week after the usage of the jutsu, the user dies. No way out. What's an Uzumaki to do?
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, although I'd be content with having Naruto and not anyone else on the show. XD
A/N: I love you guys very much, so please drop me a word or two! X3

Day 5

"Are there any… preparations for the ritual?"
Kaguya gasped, "You must be kidding, my lord!"
"What's to kid about, Kaguya-san? I'm to die and that's not that humorous."
She shook her head violently, "No, not that, my lord! I, nor any of my family and fellows, would dare wish death upon you! It's just…"
"Just what, Kaguya-san?" Naruto asked, a lopsided grin on his tan face, "That I wish to die sooner than I should?"
She nodded, "No child, no matter the age, occupation, past, nor future, should have a will to die simply so one's friends are not witness to it. That's- that's-"
"Cruel?" Naruto finished, earning a nod from the girl, "I am aware of that."
"… Are you sure you want to rush it?"
"Sure as I was about using that jutsu to revive Sakura."
She froze and looked at him, "And just how sure was that? D-did you even hesitate or think of yourself? O-Or. Or anything!?"
"Nope."

The rookies stared up at the village that was now floating in the sky, as if the ground was too dirty now to touch its shimmering beauty.
Sakura smirked slightly, "Stupid Naruto…" She began fishing something out of her kunai holster, attracting the attention of several of the other shinobi. Neji watched her with a close eye, confused as he suddenly noticed the reddish ribbon wrapped around one of the few kunai in her holster covered in Naruto's familiar, demonic red chakra.
Ino blinked, "What's that Sakura?"
Sakura shuffled the kunai with the ribbon in her hand, situating it in her right hand before speaking, "It's something Naruto gave me. I assume you all saw that freaky red chakra that pushed the village out of the ground right?"
Hinata nodded, "I-I see. S-S-So. That ribbon i-is to help you control it?"
"Yup!" Sakura nodded, "Only it's more in-depth than that. Connected to a kunai, a simple tap of said kunai could break anyone's arm, destroy homes, and level mountains. It can even create tsunami's."
"It's basically like the Kyuubi, then." Shikamaru muttered, shocked.
Sakura nodded, "Charged with her chakra, this little kunai could do just about anything. Tie it to a door and people without familiar chakra signatures will fly a couple hundred miles away. Tie it in a little girl's hair, anything deemed harmful to her and her alone will be forced 100 meters from her exact position at all times. It pretty much bends itself to the applier's whim. However…"
"What do you mean 'however'?" Shizune asked, startling some people who had forgotten she was there. After all, she hadn't said a word since they last spoke to Tsunade.
"Used in the right way, anything is possible. If you can comprehend just how to use it, you could reach heights that Kyuubi herself would be unable to even touch."
"That still amazes me…" Kakashi muttered, sighing, "I wish he would've taught me to control the thing…"
Sakura smiled, "Don't worry, sensei. I'm sure Kyuubi will teach you when she-"
Asuma interrupted her, "You know, I'm sure most of the kids your age except Neji and Shikamaru don't understand what you mean by 'Kyuubi', Sakura."
"Oh, yeah! That's not common knowledge among the younger generations, is it?" Sakura muttered, knocking on her, "Whoopsies."
"Just tell us now." Shino muttered, earning a sigh from Kurenai.
Instead, Neji answered, "Naruto is the Jinchuuriki, or the jailor, of the Kyuubi no Kitsune."

"It is time, my friends, my family! My fellows! Lord Naruto's Blood Sacrifice Ritual is about to begin!"
