Naruto stood on top of the Hokage monument. The sun was setting and it would soon be the night of the red moon. Thanks to Tsunade cutting short the talks on the first day the team from Kiri were able to keep things going until early this morning. With Mei flip flopping at a confusing rate Konoha grew suspicious and nervous. They couldn't let it be known that they were recalling most of their border security. The Hokage thought the gods of luck were with her when the Mizukage announced she would have to leave because she hadn't planned to stay for so long and needed to get back. Mei told them she would be sending a group high ranking officials to conclude the talks. Naruto snuck a shadow clone filled with chakra into the group in his place. The Hyuga couldn't tell the difference. As he waited for the sun to set he remembered the events that led up to his current situation.
Flashback
Five weeks after fleeing Konoha
"Come back here you coward!" Sasuke screamed as he leapt from tree top to tree top chasing a figure wearing a long, dark cloak with red clouds and a chin-high collar with a conical straw hat.
"Sasuke wait up." Naruto shouted as he followed.
"I will kill you Itachi." Sasuke roared.
Naruto was struggling to keep up with Sasuke as the Uchiha's body was covered by black flame shaped markings. Naruto was doing his best not to call on the fox's chakra. Both of them were wearing the same clothes they used when they fled Konoha. As they ran a powerful force swept through the trees ripping them to shreds and allowing Itachi to escape.
"You kids sure got guts chasing after Itachi but now you have to face me, Kisame Hoshigaki the Monster of the Hidden Mist." Announced another man dressed in the same long, dark cloak with red clouds. He had a pale blue-grey skin tone, small, round white eyes, gill-like facial markings under his eyes and sharp triangular teeth.
"Fire Style: Great Dragon Flame Jutsu." Sasuke shouted as he cast a tiger seal.
The Uchiha then inhaled deeply before exhaling a stream of fire that formed into a crude dragon. The dragon flew towards Kisame barely able to keep its form. Kisame raised his sword that was covered in bandages to block the attack. The fire exploded on contact with the sword creating a cloud of smoke. Through the cloud of smoke Naruto emerged, he was covered in bubbling red chakra. The Jinchuuriki threw a punch but Kisame dodged. As the Monster of the Hidden Mist moved away a section of Naruto's red chakra flew off his body and blasted Kisame downed.
The sounds of birds chirping began to sound. Sasuke hunched over with his left hand extended downwards and his right hand on his left wrist. A white orb of lightning chakra gathered in his left hand. Spark began frantically escaping the orb.
"Chidori: one thousand birds."
Naruto held out his left hand and the red chakra around him helped stabilize the swirling blue chakra into a perfect sphere.
"Rasengan."
The two former Konoha ninja leapt forwards and trust their jutsu at Kisame resulting in massive explosion. When the dust settled Kisame's sword was in planted in the ground in front of him. The weapon had taken the full force of both attacks.
"How do you like Shark Skin? Water Style: Exploding Water Shock Wave" Kisame shouted before opening his mouth and releasing large volumes of water that swelled around Naruto and Sasuke before crashing down on them.
Kisame slowly approached the two laid out ninja as the water disappeared with sword in hand.
"What happened? How could we get beaten so badly?" Naruto groaned.
"We used too much chakra trying to keep up with Itachi. We ran straight into a trap." Sasuke grumbled.
"We only need the Jinchuuriki." Kisame laughed as he walked over to Sasuke and raised his sword.
Naruto got down on all fours and launched at Kisame. When he was within striking distance, Naruto swung his body around slashing his chakra tail at the blade. The chakra wrapped around the sword stopping it. The bandaged sword began shuddering as it sucked in the chakra completely removing Naruto's fox form. Kisame then kicked Naruto high into the air. Sasuke used the opening to scramble away and throw himself onto the ground to break Naruto's fall.
Kisame walked over to Naruto and Sasuke before raising his blade into the air. "Cripple the Jinchuuriki and kill the Uchiha in one blow." As he prepared to deliver his hit the sword began shuddering stopping itself. The handle of the blade grew spikes causing Kisame to let go in pain and back away.
"You really like his chakra you traitor." Kisame hissed as blood poured from his palms. "I'll have to kill you with my bare hands."
Kisame rushed forward as Naruto tried to get up. Before Kisame could get close enough his body became engulfed in black flames.
"Amaterasu!" Kisame cried as the flames burnt him.
Naruto grabbed Kisame's sword and slashed at the Monster of the Hidden Mist, cutting his head clean off. Kisame's body fell to the ground as the black flames burnt it to ashes. As Naruto helped Sasuke up Itachi emerged from the shadows.
"I'll kill you!" Sasuke screamed as he rushed at his brother.
Naruto coughed up blood before following Sasuke while carrying Shark Skin. As the two attacked they made the mistake of making eye contact. Both of them collapsed into heaps.
"I'm sorry but I have to use Tsukuyomi to show you the truth about what happened." Itachi said as he stood over the boys.
Three Years Later
"Err, this is so boring? There's never anything interesting to do in Amegakure." Naruto complained from beneath his hooded cloak.
"You don't have to be here. I could have picked up the medicine on my own." Sasuke retorted from under his hooded cloak.
Both of them were tottering through the standing water on the forest floor as they made their way to a small town. A few feet in front of them was a body slightly covered by water. Naruto ran forward and lifted the person out of the water.
"She's still alive." Naruto exclaimed as he looked down at the red head in front of him.
"We don't have time to pick strays. Leave her." Sasuke replied as he carried on walking.
Naruto stuck his tongue out before removing his cloak and wrapping it around the girl. He was wearing a standard ninja uniform underneath. Once his cloak was fastened tightly enough to keep her warm he picked her up in arms and continued onwards.
After walking for close to an hour they reached the town they were heading for. Sasuke booked a room in a hotel while Naruto booked a separate one.
"How long are you going to watch over her?" Sasuke asked entering the room. He was dressed in the same uniform as Naruto.
Naruto was sitting in the far corner while the red head was sleeping soundly in a futon in the middle of the room.
"Until she's well enough to walk." Naruto answered while yawning.
"So strong, so powerful, so dark." The red head stirred before waking up.
The girl sat up in her bed, she looked around the room and saw two boys and that she was dressed in a kimono. Once everything settled in she began screaming. "Help me!"
"It's okay. You're safe! We found you in the storm." Naruto scrambled trying to calm her down while Sasuke just smirked.
"What about my clothes?" She screamed.
"I changed you out of those soaked rags. I'm sorry but that old kimono is all I had that would fit you." An old lady walked into the room carrying a tray of tea. She set the tray down before leaving.
"You had the innkeeper change her. Here I thought you were being as perverted as that damn toad sage." Sasuke laughed.
"Thank you." The red head mumbled. "You saved my life."
"Well don't worry about it. My brother and I were happy to help." Naruto blushed.
'They're brothers? He has such a warm, caring chakra while his brother has a cold, callous chakra.' She thought as she watched them.
"Oh by the way my name is Naruto and this is Sasuke." Naruto introduced the two.
"Why did you have to give our real names. When we're out missions I'm Shin and you're Sora. What was the point of coming up with these identities if you're not going to use them. I spent hours coming up with those names." Sasuke whispered as flashed across the room next to Naruto.
"That was amazing." The red head marveled before realizing she had been rude by not giving her name. "My name is Karin." She smiled slightly as she picked up a cup of tea.
"So what were you doing in the forest all alone?" Sasuke questioned.
"I got lost. I was on my way to a small town to buy medical herbs." Karin sipped the tea as she tried to act embarrassed.
"We save you and you show us gratitude by lying." Sasuke glared intently without activating his sharingan.
Karin caught a glimpse of his stare and started coughing as she choked.
"You don't have to stare so hard, she doesn't have to tell us anything she feels uncomfortable about. And what's this we, I did all the work." Naruto tried to lighten the mood.
"She's a ninja. She's been reading our chakra this whole time." Sasuke used his right hand to grab Naruto and toss him aside.
With Naruto airborne Sasuke gathered lightning chakra around his left hand and charged Karin. The red head tossed aside her cup of tea as she tried to scramble away. She realized she wouldn't be able to get away and crouched into a ball prepared to die. She waited for the pain but it never came. She opened her eyes and saw Naruto holding back Sasuke's lightning with a shield of wind chakra. She couldn't believe he moved that fast.
"I'm not a ninja." Karin cried as she sat up and bowed. "I'm an experiment. A powerful ninja by the name of Orochimaru has a base near here. I was sent to fetch medical herbs for him. I got caught in a storm and collapsed. He controls me and everyone else at the base. We're powerless against him." Streams of tears flowed down her face.
"Is that all?" Naruto smiled as Sasuke grumbled. Both of them let their elemental chakra dissipate.
"What do you mean is that all?" Karin asked.
"I have the ability to sense emotions. You're not a bad person, let me rephrase that, you are a bad person but not in the same way as Orochimaru." Naruto answered.
Karin laughed at his comment. "I didn't think kind people like you existed in this world."
"You are going to lead us to Orochimaru's base." Sasuke ordered shocking Naruto.
"Wait, this is a bit hasty. We should consult with Itachi nii-san. You know I can only call on one tail worth of chakra. The damn fox cut me off." Naruto tried to reason.
"Itachi nii-san is sick. If we can eliminate Orochimaru it's another thing Itachi nii-san wouldn't have to worry about. We can beat them with the power we have." Sasuke responded before turning his sharingan on and using it on Karin.
"What did you do?" Naruto barked as Karin collapsed unconscious.
"I just hit her with a genjutsu. When she wakes up she's going to get dressed and lead us to Orochimaru's base. Then we kill Orochimaru." Sasuke replied as he walked out of the room.
"What about her? If she walks in there while under genjutsu Orochimaru may kill her." Naruto shouted.
"Well that's collateral damage." The door closed behind Sasuke.
"Damn it." Naruto shouted through the closed door.
A few hours later Karin wandered lifelessly through the drenched forest. She was wearing Naruto cloak over her slightly wet clothes. Her body was moving on autopilot while her mind was telling her to stop. Keeping a very safe following distance Sasuke and Naruto watched her place her hand on a tree. The tree opened up revealing a stairway to an underground base. Seeing Karin enter the base Naruto tried to give chase but was stopped by Sasuke.
"We will wait one hour and then we'll enter." Sasuke maintained a strong grip on Naruto's shoulder.
"When they find out she's under genjutsu they may try to run." Naruto reasoned.
"If that happens we will ambush them." Sasuke explained.
An hour passed and there was no activity. Sasuke used his sharingan to see through the illusion placed on the tree. He used his chidori to blow down the door before storming the base. After a few seconds Naruto followed and backed Sasuke up. The two made light work of the grunts in their way as they continued on. Naruto used rasengan to burst open the doors to a large hall. At the end of the hall was a throne. On the floor in the middle of the room was Karin, she was badly beaten and barely alive.
"Orochimaru you fiend, she was one of your own." Naruto screamed as his eyes turned red with black slit pupils.
The man in the throne had extremely pale-skin with waist-length black hair. His amber eyes had slits in his pupils and purple markings around his eyes. He woreASnapper2 plain grey garbs with black pants and a thick purple rope belt tied in a large knot behind his back. He was one of Konoha's most famous criminals; he was a member of the Sannin and student of the third Hokage. He was Orochimaru. To his right was a woman with light blue hair kept in a spiky ponytail with long strands of hair framing her face. She was wearing a green dress with a long left sleeve and a short right one, a red turtle-neck that had a white, fluffy collar and brown gloves. To Orochimaru's left was a man with grey hair in a ponytail that was wearing circular glasses. He wore a dark purple shirt with a white undershirt and a white obi around his waist worn at an angle and dark purple pants.
"You remember Kabuto." Orochimaru gestured to his left. "This is Guren." He gestured to his right.
"Today is the day you die Orochimaru. You've been hunting Itachi nii-san too long." Sasuke screamed.
"There's that anger I wanted so much for my new body. It was because of the Jinchuuriki I never got my sharingan. I'll have to kill him for that." Orochimaru laughed.
"I'd like to see you try." Naruto roared as his body became encased by bubbling red chakra, taking on the shape of a one-tailed fox.
"I guess the first thing I need to do is take care of the traitor." Orochimaru hissed.
The Sannin threw a kunai with great speed at the prone red head. The kunai never reached its target as Naruto's chakra tail cut it off. The chakra tail deflected the kunai back at Orochimaru. Before the kunai could strike the Sannin a pink crystal kunai stopped it.
"You're still the same Naruto I remember, you think you can save everyone." Kabuto mocked.
"If you want to get to Orochimaru-sama you'll have to face us." Guren spoke up.
Orochimaru, Kabuto and Guren began disappearing from view slowly as if their bodies were being burned by a flame until there was nothing left.
"Naruto stay on guard." Sasuke shouted as he searched.
Naruto flashed from his position to next to Karin. He placed his hands over Karin's chest careful not to touch her with the red chakra. Through the bubbling fox chakra Naruto's true, blue chakra shun entering Karin's body and began healing her.
"How long do you need?" Sasuke asked as he waited for Naruto to complete healing the girl.
Two clouds of smoke appeared in the room, one next to Sasuke and one next Naruto. Two large snakes appeared and threw themselves at the missing-nin. Sasuke dove backwards avoiding the snake.
Sasuke performed a series of hand signals and stopped on tiger. He then inhaled deeply and exhaled a stream of fire that hit the snake and formed a fireball. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu."
The snake next to Naruto tried to take advantage of the fact he was doing medical ninjutsu and headed for Karin. The cold bolded creature was captured by Naruto's chakra tail. The snake found itself being constricted until it gave out and disappeared.
"That's very impressive, taking on my Binding Snake Glare without much effort." Orochimaru's voice filled the room.
As Naruto used the Healing Jutsu on Karin, Kabuto appeared behind him behind him using a body flicker. Orochimaru's trusted advisor's right hand was covered in green chakra that formed blades at his finger tips.
"Crap a Chakra Scalpel." Sasuke shouted as he tried to get to Naruto's side.
As the Uchiha tried to run several pink crystal spikes erupted out of the ground stopping him.
Guren body flickered behind Sasuke and cried out "Jade Crystal Blade." She quickly formed blades made of crystal on her arms that looked like tanto.
Sasuke jumped straight up to avoid the woman's double downwards slash. He turned to see if Naruto was safe and impressed by what he saw. The dead last academy student was skillfully batting back Kabuto with his chakra tail and still had enough concentration to continue the Healing Jutsu.
"Hexagonal Crystal Shuriken: Wild Dance." Guren shouted as she threw fifty crystal shuriken into the air at Sasuke.
The Uchiha responded by again using a fire style attack. "Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu." Sasuke exhaled a torrent of small fireballs that destroyed the crystal shuriken on impact. He landed and decided to kill the woman before seeking out Orochimaru.
Guren smiled as she looked down on Sasuke. "I can't believe Orochimaru-sama once wanted your body."
"When you say it like that it sounds like he wanted to molest me." Sasuke smirked.
"How dare you! Orochimaru-sama is beyond the desires of flesh. He is a true ninja." Guren shouted.
"Is that what you tell yourself because he rejected you?" Sasuke taunted.
Guren didn't reply she just charged at Sasuke. She created a large, jagged spear-like crystal surrounding her right forearm, which she intended to use to impale Sasuke. "Crystal Release: Crystal Lance."
Sasuke smirked and ripped of the sleeve on his left arm. On the inside of his forearm were two tattoos circles; inside each circle was a different kanji. Sasuke then bit his thumb causing it to bleed and wiped the blood across the circle closest to his wrist creating a large cloud of smoke. When the smoke dispersed he held a large blade in his left hand. It was a massive broadsword that had two cut outs, a circle close to the top and a semi-circular one nearer the handle.
Sasuke and Guren began trading blows with their weapons, deflecting and attacking. It was the crystal lance that was being chipped away at but Guren would just add more chakra to it.
Naruto let out a sigh of relief as Karin began to stir. She looked up at him allowing tears to flow out of her eyes. She was certain she would die but she was saved by his warm chakra.
"Thank you." She whimpered as she struggled to talk.
"It's all in a day's work." Naruto smiled as he got up.
"How touching. A traitor and a beast." Kabuto imitated vomiting. "After I kill you I'll kill the girl."
Naruto formed a funnel using both his hand and placed it over his mouth. He then exhaled and released his attack.
"That's not fire, its chakra." Kabuto screamed as he disappeared into the ground.
"The Hidden Mole Jutsu seems appropriate for you Kabuto." Naruto mocked.
Underground Kabuto smirked as he prepared to launch out of the ground and use a Chakra Scalpel. He erupted out of the screaming, "Die Karin!" Kabuto expected his hand to be tearing through the red heads chest but instead he was pushing Naruto into the air.
"Substitution jutsu." Naruto smirked as the Chakra Scalpel failed to penetrate the fox's chakra.
Kabuto watched in horror as Naruto formed a rasengan in each hand.
"But you're not using shadow clones." Kabuto panicked.
"I'm not that same kid." Naruto screamed as he flipped and slammed both rasengan into the chest of Kabuto.
Orochimaru's assistant fell over lifelessly. Naruto stood proudly over Kabuto as he prepared to destroy the body.
Sasuke was gaining the upper hand as he continued chipping away at the crystal spear but was distracted by Karin's scream.
"Naruto, watch out behind you." Karin screamed unable to pick herself up.
The Jinchuuriki couldn't react in time as Orochimaru appeared behind him. The snake Sannin's hand extended around Naruto with his finger tips burning blue. "Five Pronged Seal." Orochimaru slammed his hand through the fox's shroud and burned through Naruto's uniform hitting his seal. The red chakra around him evaporated as he collapsed.
Using her opponent's lapse in concentration Guren took advantage. "Crystal Release: Crystal Encampment Wall." Guren sent out a wave of chakra which then turned into an almost impenetrable crystal box around Sasuke.
Sasuke used his sword to repeatedly hit the crystal wall but it would just repair itself.
"My chakra is gone." Naruto heaved as he struggled to breath. "This is the second time you hit with that."
"You're going to die and then we're going to kill that bitch." Guren joined Orochimaru.
Naruto ripped of his left sleeve. He had the exact same tattoos as Sasuke. Naruto bit his finger and drew a blood line across both. After a large burst of smoke he was holding two swords, the executioner's blade in his right and Shark Skin in his left.
"That's my sword!" Sasuke screamed as he tried using chidori to escape but failed.
"You want to play with swords, let's see who's better." Orochimaru opened his mouth and reached into his throat pulling out a sword. The Sword of Kusanagi.
Naruto could feel his body begin to fail because of the seal Orochimaru placed on him but he did his best to stand tall and keep both Guren who had a crystal spear and Orochimaru who had the Sword of Kusanagi back from Karin. The two from Oto both attacked while Naruto could only defend. Shark Skin helped him out by moving by itself but with no chakra he couldn't strengthen it.
"Leave me behind and run." Karin shouted as she tried to get up.
"There's nowhere to run." Naruto coughed as he went on the offensive.
Naruto threw Shark Skin at Guren the sword then wrapped itself around her spear and ate away at her chakra. She struggled to fight of the blade that was not leaving her.
Naruto the thrust the executioner's blade forward, Orochimaru twisted his body like a snake, avoiding the attack. The Sannin then slashed at Naruto separating his right hand from the rest of his body. The executioner's blade then returned to storage with Naruto's right hand with it.
Naruto fell to the ground as blood poured out from where his right wrist would be. Orochimaru lifted his sword and prepared to kill Naruto.
"To think, Danzo offered me a scroll of forbidden Konoha jutsu if I hunted you down and you come to me." Orochimaru laughed. "This will go a long way in solidifying our partnership."
Sasuke could only watch from the crystal trap. Seeing his best friend about to die and hearing that Danzo was working with Orochimaru. Sasuke snapped. "Konoha is involved again. They've taken so much and now they're going to take away my best friend." The three tomoe in each sharingan merged together to form a six pointed circular star. A vortex appeared in front of Sasuke's eyes and sucked up the crystal walls.
Before Orochimaru hit Naruto, Sasuke blasted him with a bolt of lightning chakra. "Chidori stream."
The Sannin stumbled away from Naruto. Sasuke rushed to his friend's side and stood guard as Karin crawled next to Naruto.
"You got me good Uchiha but you can't fight this jutsu and protect your friend. Ten Thousand Snakes Wave."
Hundreds of summoned snakes crawled out of Orochimaru's mouth and formed a wall of snakes. Sasuke knew he could only do one thing. He rushed forwards and became buried by the snakes. Some of The snakes started biting him with their poison fangs and the others opened their mouths to extend Kusanagi-like blades and stabbed him. A powerful rift in space opened above the mountain of snakes and began sucking them up until none were left. Stabbed and poison Sasuke collapsed.
Orochimaru approached prepared to kill but he became engulfed in black flames. He then regurgitated a new body from his mouth. Once he left the black flames he choose to disappear while cursing Itachi.
"I should have never let you two come here alone. I had a bad feeling this whole time." Itachi stumbled into the hall and fell to his brother's side.
He tried to help Sasuke up but the young Uchiha refused and crawled to Naruto's side.
"It's my fault. You wanted to call Itachi nii-san but I was too impatient." Sasuke mumbled to an unconscious Naruto.
"We need to reattach Naruto's hand soon or I'll have to heal his arm like this and then we won't be able to." Karin cried.
"I'll summon the executioner's blade." Sasuke coughed up blood.
"Save your strength, there's no guarantee his hand will come with the blade." Itachi examined his brother.
Shark Skin crawled next to Naruto and dropped off Guren's severed right hand next to Naruto bleeding arm.
"Orochimaru has an operating room in the base. He has been working on transplanting kekkei genkai. If we can get Naruto there we can attach Guren's hand. There's a forty percent chance it'll work." Karin shouted.
"Wait." Sasuke called out as Itachi tried to pick up Naruto. "Nii-san, between the poison and the stab wounds I'm not going to survive. My last wish is that you give Naruto my eyes. Please give them to him. Give him my power so he can take control of that damned fox." Sasuke plead before he went cold.
Tears of blood fell down Itachi's face as he looked at his brother.
Two weeks later
Naruto began to stir; he was lying on a bed covered by a blanket with seals on it. Karin saw him stirring and rushed over to deactivate the seals. Once the seals were gone she ran to call Itachi. Naruto sat up in bed and felt strange sensations creep over his body. He could feel his right hand, a hand he lost in battle. He felt a bandage over his eyes, his eyes felt weird.
"Naruto, you're finally awake." Itachi spoke.
The Jinchuuriki felt the bandage being removed. Slowly he opened his eyes and everything was suddenly clearer. A sensation swept his body as if he was using chakra. He looked over at his right and stared at it.
"You like it? I got it from Guren." Karin smiled trying to make things easier for him to understand.
"H…how?" Naruto stuttered.
"Orochimaru spent years studying how to transplant a kekkei genkai. He was forcing me to be involved in those experiments because of my unique ability." Karin should him the bite marks on her body. "The seals are so the hand adopts and reshapes to your body." Karin explained as she showed him the seals on either side of his hand.
"My hand isn't the only thing you transplanted." Naruto said as he closed his eyes and placed his left hand over them. Tears forced their way out from under his hand.
"Sasuke wanted this. He never meant for any of it to happen." Itachi did his best not to show any sadness.
"It was the last thing he said. He wanted to give you the power." Karin cried.
"He wanted you to use his eyes to tame the Nine Tailed Fox. He wanted to ease your pain as a Jinchuuriki." Itachi continued.
"I won't let you down." Naruto said as he began to concentrate.
Naruto focused hard and moved his consciousness to his mindscape. Naruto stood in what looked like a large sewer with his eyes closed. There were pipes all over the place and water across the floor. In front of him was a larger gate with a seal taped on to it. Behind the gate was a giant fox with dark orange fur and red eyes. The fox stared intently at him.
"I haven't been able to see the outside world for the past two weeks." The fox growled.
Naruto remained silent and stood still.
"Are you listening to me boy? I will not be ignored!" The fox roared.
Naruto opened his eyes shocking the fox.
"Those eyes, those evil eyes. You have been given the Uchiha's eyes." The fox cursed as it raged against the gate.
Naruto continued to remain silent as the water swelled at his feet, raising him into the air so he could reach the seal. As he extended his arm he felt someone grab him, in an instant he was back down with someone standing in front of him. It was a tall, fair-skinned man with bright blue-eyes and spiky blond hair. He wore a standard Konoha-nin uniform with a short-sleeved long white coat over, decorated by flames-like motifs on the edges, with the kanji for "Fourth Hokage" written vertically down the back.
"I worked it into the seal spell so that I would appear in your psyche, should the seal be broken to the point where you sprouted the eight tails. I had no desire to have that happen since I have no wish to see the Nine Tails again." The fox began roaring at the statement by the fourth Hokage. "But I did look forward to seeing my son as a young man."
"Fourth Hokage, come here so I can kill you." The Nine Tails called out.
"Why are you here? I haven't sprouted the eighth tail." Naruto trembled with rage.
"Your sharingan must have triggered the spell. You were planning on taking control of the Nine Tailed Fox using Sasuke's eyes. I never intended for you to control it that way." Minato stated.
"All those years I lived in poverty. All those years I spent being beaten. All those years I spent being shunned. Why? I was the son of the fourth Hokage. Why?" Naruto cried.
"The third Hokage didn't tell you or anybody else because he wanted to suppress as much information about the Nine Tails as possible. If people had found out you were my son you'd have been in danger." Minato tried explaining.
"Dad…" Naruto mumbled before flashing towards Minato and punching him in the gut. "Why did you seal the Nine Tailed Demon Fox in your own flesh and blood? You thought being your son would put me in danger but being a Jinchuuriki made the village hate me and want to kill me."
"It must have been hard for you. I'm sorry Naruto." Minato apologized as Naruto back away. "I suppose after putting my own son through so much…"
Minato was cut off by Naruto. "I hate you. I hate you so much for making my life hell. You have no right to act like a father and apologize. Tell me why?"
"There is a reason I did this." Minato began to explain. "When the Nine Tails attack the village he was being controlled by Madara Uchiha. Madara used his sharingan to take control of the fox. I gave you the Nine Tailed Fox's power because I wanted you to use it to protect the village from Madara."
"Protect Konoha." Naruto began laughing insanely. "You want me to protect the village that wanted to kill me. I never committed any of the crimes they charged me with but they were all so willing to convict me. They were just waiting for a chance to kill me."
"Naruto you don't understand. It was D…" A hand covered in lightning chakra burst through Minato's chest. The fourth Hokage began disappearing as the sound of birds echoed.
Once the fourth Hokage was completely gone his assailant was revealed. He was wearing a blue, short-sleeved shirt with a raised collar and the Uchiha crest on the back and white arm warmers with white shorts and black sandals.
"Sasuke." Naruto gulped in shock.
"It's good to see that my eyes made it to you. I did something similar to the fourth Hokage, I stored my chakra in my eyes and spelled it to activate should you need help controlling the fox." Sasuke answered. "Get ready."
Sasuke jumped into the air and ripped away the paper seal exposing a spiraled pattern lock. The Uchiha coated his hand in lightning chakra and drove it into the lock. The chidori did nothing to the lock. Sasuke back flipped and landed next to Naruto.
"If you want to break the seal you'll have to tap into your true self. The part of you that holds all your anger and rage." The Fox laughed.
"There you see him, it's that boy. I heard he is the only one that failed. Well it serves him right. Just imagine what would happen if he became a ninja. I mean his the boy who…"
"Oh look it's that thing. Why do we let that boy stay in the village? I wish lord Hokage would have more consideration for us."
"Get this, don't you dare follow us."
"Hey, is that the boy? Yes that's the one."
"You brat! Go away! What are you doing here? You plague."
"All those people, their eyes filled with hate and disgust. They beat me, belittled me, and made my life hell. Those who didn't just stood by and watched." Naruto was forming a massive rasengan in his left hand.
"Use the power of the Nine Tailed Demon Fox to destroy that village, take your vengeance and avenge my clan." Were the Uchiha's last words because Naruto couldn't see it but Sasuke's chakra form was being absorbed into Naruto's own subconscious manifestation of himself.
Naruto jumped and slammed the rasengan into the lock shattering it. The Nine Tailed Fox didn't waste time and burst through the gates and charge down Naruto. The demon attempted to eat him but Naruto avoided and landed on the fox's head. The last bit of Sasuke's chakra merged with his own. Naruto locked eyes with the Nine Tails. The fox's red eyes with black slit pupils began trembling. The black slit pupil split and formed into three tomoe around central dot pupil. The fox then bowed down letting Naruto off. He balled his left hand in a fist and began to feel the power of the demon Konoha feared so much course through him.
Itachi and Karin watched over Naruto as the Jinchuuriki dove into his own mind. They waited with baited breath as he opened his eyes. The three tomoe merged together to form a six pointed circular star. His eyes were focused and unblinking. He remained like that for a few minutes before he spoke. "Konoha must burn."
Present day
Naruto looked up at the sky. The sun was gone and the moon had taken its placed. Naruto tightened Sasuke's damaged forehead protector around his forehead. Then he took a deep breath before dusting down Itachi's old ANBU uniform. It was the uniform Itachi wore when he slaughtered his clan. Once he was satisfied he pulled on a long white coat, decorated by flames-like motifs on the edges, with the kanji for "Fourth Hokage" written vertically down the back.
"Konoha, your favorite son has returned." He laughed.
