As always I'll say that this isn't mine, the fanfic is the creation of Dragon6 and Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto
Return of a Hero: Chapter 10
Shino half carried, half dragged a wounded and tired Kiba toward the emergency room. The dog trainer tried to give his teammate some help but he was too tired. Akamaru was being carried by Kakashi since he was a dog lover as well. Neji brought up the rear of the group. He was tired but not enough that he could not move on his own. Sasuke and Sai also followed behind as did most of the south gate defenders.
They entered the emergency room and caught the attention of everyone. It was like walking into a horror film. There was blood every where. Some of the ninjas there were badly injured and some would not make it through the night. The medic-nins work frantically to save as much life as they could. Kiba looked on at the scene and felt sick to his stomach at the smell of blood, gust and death. That's when they noticed Hinata. She looked like she was finished with what she was doing as she gave a smile to the Suna-nin. She turned and caught sight of her two comrades.
"Kiba, Shino, are you hurt?" she rushed to heal them.
"I am unhurt but Kiba got nicked." Shino explained. Hinata activated her Byakugan to search for any internal injuries. Finding none, she ordered one of the nins to get her some wrappings and rubbing alcohol. Kakashi walked up and placed Akamaru near Kiba. Kiba petted his companion and Akamaru whined happily.
"We did good boy. We might have over done it but we did good."
"Iruka-kun!" exclaimed Anko. They turned to see a happy Anko tackle an injured Iruka. Hana laughed at her friend as she crushed her boyfriend with kisses despite his cries of pain. Hana walked over to her brother and partner.
"Let me look him over little bro." she said and began examine him.
"Thanks sis." Kiba said. A medic-nin appeared and told him to remove his armor and shirt. Kiba complied and allowed the medic to dress his wound. He turned to see Neji and Hinata embraced in a hug. She had tears in her eyes as Neji whispered some words to calm her. It brought a smile to his face.
"So, we were not the only ones brought here?" Kiba turned to see Chouji walk up.
"So what's the damage? Where did most of them come from?" he asked
"Most of them are from the east gate. The battle at the west gate could have been lost if it wasn't for Konohamaru and Hanabi. How did your battle go?"
"Even with reinforcements, we were still being pushed back. If it wasn't for the Kiri shinobis we would have lost that position as well." Kiba explained
"Kiri, as in Kirigakure no Sato? They're here?" Chouji asked
"Yeah and you know what that means."
"So that surge of power I felt…"
"Bingo! I wonder what's going on at that battle."
Sasuke stood away from everyone. He had seen Lee together with his wife, Tenten and he had also seen Ino treating Asuma who was with his wife, Kurenai. His mind was focused elsewhere. He felt that the battle had stopped because their chakra signatures were not spiking. He wanted to know what the hell was going on there.
'Did that dobe beat all four of those kages all ready? How did he get so damn strong?' He thought hotly. He turned and left the emergency room. He took no more than four steps before a voice stopped him.
"Planning on going to see the fight?" the voice asked. Sasuke remained silent. The two stood there in silence before the man sighed. He walked up and passes Sasuke. He stopped and turned to his once former student. "Are you going to stand there or are you coming?" Kakashi asked. Sasuke continued to be silent and just vanished out of the hallway. Kakashi sighed at his antics.
"He sure is moody." Kakashi said to himself and disappeared as well.
The two stared at each other. The wind blew added a dramatic effect to the scene. The Yondaime looked Naruto over. You could not see through the zombie like expression but it seemed as if the revived kage was proud of what he saw. His eyes narrowed and it put Naruto on edge.
"Why do you not wear your Konoha headband?" he asked. On another building, Tsunade and Jiraiya flinched. Naruto said nothing but his expression hardens. Orochimaru chuckled which got the Yondaime attention.
"You don't know? Oh of course, you've been dead for a while. Allow me to answer any of your questions. You see, he is no longer a shinobi of Konohagakure." he informed. Naruto glared at the Hebi-sennin while the Yondaime had a shocked expression.
"In fact…" Orochimaru continued, "…he hasn't been a Konoha-nin for twelve years. You see your pericous village did not see him as the hero that you wanted him to be."
"That's enough." growled Naruto.
"He was beaten, hated and left alone for most of his life. Even becoming a ninja did not help him. He was still seen as the Kyubi no Yoko."
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Naruto roared
"Oh but that is not the best part. He succeeded in stopping me from acquiring the Sharingan by defeating the last Uchiha. He completed his mission and what was his reward?" Orochimaru said. He moved closer to the Yondaime.
"SHUT UP!" Naruto bellowed and his chakra rose to life.
"Banishment." Orochimaru whispered to the Yondaime. Naruto let loose an un-human roar and disappeared. Orochimaru dodge just in time to avoid Naruto's attack. Naruto charged at him intent on ripping the man to pieces. Orochimaru narrowly dodged each of Naruto's attacks but he smiled all the way.
"What's wrong Naruto? Don't you wish to tell him about his failure? Don't you hate him for what he has done to you?" Orochimaru taunted. He caught Naruto's arms to stop him. "Don't you want to tell him that you've become a hero but just not here? Why not rub it in his face Yondaime Mizukage?" Naruto's eyes flashed dangerously. He drove a powerful knee into the gut of Orochimaru. The sennin coughed up blood. Naruto brought both his fist down across his back with crushing force. It drove Orochimaru through the ceiling and to the ground floor. Naruto did hand seals at a blinding speed and took a deep breath.
"Katon: Karyū Endan!" he roared and a huge blast of flame shot through the hole that he sent Orochimaru through. The blast blew out the windows of each floor on its way toward its target. The blast hit the ground floor and caused an explosion that destroyed the building. Naruto watched as the building burn to the ground. He saw the Yondaime fall into the flames as well. He wanted to jump in and help but he knew that he was not the Yondaime. He knew that he would regenerate soon and he needed to remove the soul. He made a move to do a Suiton when he was attacked from below. The huge snake threw Naruto into the air and attempted to eat him but he moved quickly. The snake charged at Naruto and he activated his Kaze no Soodo. He engaged the snake.
Kakashi and Sasuke landed on an opposing building. They checked the area and caught sight of the Hokage and Jiraiya. Sakura was also there as well as the Kiri no Shinobigatana Nananin Shu. The sound of something crashing into the ground caught their attention. They both saw a snake. The snake looked like it was attempting to rise. That's when they caught sight of him. It was Naruto. He looked like he was holding something in his hand and stood in a ready stance. The snake launched itself toward Naruto. The Mizukage phased out and appeared above. With a mighty shout, he brought the invisible weapon across the eye of the snake. Blood spurt out of the snake as it gave cry of pain. Sasuke activated his Sharingan and saw what he held. It was a sword made of wind. He knew that took years of control to achieve that.
He started to get angry at the man who he still concerned a rival. It seemed that their difference in power was still that great. Here was the dead-last taking on a summon of such size without summoning something of equal size. It made his blood boil to see that he was still so strong. It was a strength that he neither deserved nor needed. He felt the curse mark come alive and the marks started to appear. That's when he felt the cold blade of a kunai against his throat. He glared at his former sensei and Kakashi returned the glare. Sasuke calmed himself enough to make the marks go away but Kakashi did not remove the blade.
"You can remove the kunai now." Sasuke said
"True but I figured that you may be inclining to keep calm during this fight. We wouldn't want to do something that may lead to another war because of your jealous tendencies." Kakashi explained. His explanation made Sasuke chuckle which caused the veteran narrowed his eyes.
"Trying to makes amends for your mistakes, sensei? Are you feeling guilty just like these other fools? It had to be done. He was dangerous." Kakashi glared at the last Uchiha. He removed the blade and turned his attention toward the fight. That's when he caught sight of Orochimaru walking through the flames. He seemed to be smiling at someone. He took a closer look and could not believe his eyes.
"T-T-That's impossible! H-How did this happen?" Sasuke ignored Kakashi's shock and noticed something moving in the shadows. He didn't know what it was but it was moving toward the fight. He didn't care and turned his attention back to his rival.
Naruto was starting to get annoyed with this stupid snake. He dodged another lunge from the snake and landed on the side of the building. That's when he caught sight of Orochimaru. He had a kunai in his hand with a tag attached to it. He cursed and made a move to stop him before it was too late. As he moved in mid air to intercept the Shodaime Otokage, the snake appeared again and had his mouth opened. Naruto curse his luck. He formed something in his hand and threw it at the snake. The head of the snake blew apart as well as half of the snake's body. The projectile screamed toward Orochimaru. He had no idea of the incoming threat until he was pushed out of the way by Kabuto. The impact cleared the fire out revealing a zombie kage. Naruto landed next to the Yondaime and gave him glance. Whether it was hate or annoyance you couldn't tell.
That's when he saw the body of Orochimaru. He left the Yondaime in order to make sure that the bastard was dead. As he reached the body he realized that something was wrong. He bent down and touched the body. Suddenly, the body melted away into mud.
"Shit!" was his curse and he turned his attention away from the mud. It proved to be his downfall as Kabuto jumped out of the mud and restrained him.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Mizukage. Allowing yourself, to be caught like that." Naruto berated himself for not sensing the Oto spy. That's when he caught sight of Orochimaru who appeared from the shadows. He walked up behind the Yondaime with his kunai in hand.
"Now to end this." He said. Naruto summoned all his strength and elbowed Kabuto. He released Naruto from the hold and back off but Naruto didn't give him a chance. He flashed up to him and gave him a punch-kick-punch combo that slammed him into the wall. Naruto appeared right next to him and drove a chakra enhanced fist into his gut. The punch sent Kabuto through the wall and into a dreamlike state. Naruto pulled out a kunai and charged at Orochimaru at full speed. He had reached him and pulled his hand back for the final blow.
Tsunade, Jiraiya, Sakura and the Kiri no Shinobigatana Nananin Shu watched as the attack was about to connect. The kunai drew closer to Orochimaru's head. They thought that this would be it. That the reign of Orochimaru's ambition would end here. They were about to see history happen. Too bad it never did. Jiraiya hung his head.
"Damn it! He was too late." He said
Naruto struggled against the pain that was being inflicted on his wrist. He dropped the kunai as the Yondaime added pressure to the wrist. He turned to face the man that held his wrist in such a painful. Blue eyes locked with blue eyes. The cracks that surrounded the dead body were disappearing. He was beginning to become more human like. It took a few more seconds but it was complete. The Yondaime Hokage was now under the control of Konoha's greatness enemy. Orochimaru smirk appeared and Naruto growled. He broke the Yondaime's hold and attempted a crushing kick. The Yondaime took the kick to his head. The kick connected and broke the Yondaime neck. He then formed a seal and many kage bunshins appeared. Naruto and his clones attacked.
"U, zu, ma, ki…" the clones roared. The Yondaime was sent into the air. The rest of the clones appear below and above him. "Naruto Nisen Rendan." Two thousand punches rained down onto the kage. With two finally punches, he sent the kage into the ground.
"He did it." Sakura exclaimed
"It won't be that easy." Jiraiya said
"But… look at the Yondaime. He's all cracked and broken." Sayuri said
"The Edo Tensei doesn't work like that. The one who is brought back for the dead can not be destroyed. They will regenerate over and over." Genji said
"So you mean…" Sakura said
"Yes, he's still not defeated." Tsunade said with a sad expression.
The dust clear and the Yondaime stood. The cracks healed and disappeared. He grabbed his head and re-fixed it head. Naruto growled and formed the Rasengan. His clones also formed Rasengans and charged at the Yondaime. The attacked came at all sides.
"Uzumaki Naruto Rasengan Rendan!" was the gathered shout as each clone attacked. The Yondaime did hand seals of his own.
"Hiraishin no Jutsu!" he said. Naruto only saw flashes as each of his clones were destroyed by a blindly yellow streak of light. Naruto landed and disengaged his Rasengan. As the smoke cleared, the Yondaime stood facing him. A trickle of sweat fell from his face.
'But how? In order to do the Hiraishin he needed to place a seal on me and my clones. How…' Then it hit him. He looked at his wrist and saw it. It was a seal.
"Good eye." A voice said. Naruto turned to face the Yondaime. He stood over Naruto like a tower. That's when he felt a crushing punch to the mid-section. Naruto was lifted in the air. Then the Yondaime followed it with a spin kick that sent Naruto into the air. Naruto landed with a thud on top of the roof. Naruto struggled to stand and was on his feet. As he stood he was facing the Yondaime again.
"So, you placed the seal on me when I attacked Orochimaru. Without it, you can summon yourself to the spot where the seal is." Naruto said. He did a few seals and the seal of the Hiraishin was gone. Naruto then vanished and appeared behind the kage. He attacked the Yondaime but it was block and he disappeared in a yellow flash. Naruto ducked the punch and kicked out connecting with the Yondaime's mid-section. He pushed himself up and attacked with another kick. The Yondaime caught the kick and threw Naruto into the air. Naruto flew threw the air but he stopped to block a kick. He spun upside down to connect with his own kick and The Yondaime blocked it. The two landed on the roof and skid to a halt. The two kages faced each other and stood ready to attack.
"I can't believe that he is able to keep up with the Hiraishin's speed. He's using just the Shunshin." Jiraiya said
"But does it matter? He can't destroy that thing anyway." Sayuri said
"He can but it is not an opinion." Sentaro said
"What opinion?" Sayuri asked
"The Shiki Fujin." Said Genji
"The death god? He wouldn't summon that, would he?"
"The only way to beat the thing is the remove the soul and the only technique that can do that is the Shiki Fujin."
"That'll kill him. There has to be another way." Sansei said. Everyone was quiet after that. Sakura turned toward the fight. The two kages were going back and fought. Sakura started to feel sorry for her former teammate.
'What will you do Naruto?'
Naruto hit the side of the building. The impact made him spit out blood. He was breathing heavily and was bleeding from the cut on his head. Naruto was having a hard time fighting. Konoha no Kiroi Senko was correctly worded. The Hiraishin was an impressive technique. Though he was using his improved Shunshin, he was quickly loosing chakra. He knew how to beat the revived Yondaime. He could use the Shiki Fujin but that was not the only way to take a soul. There was another forbidden technique that could beat the Edo Tensei but he was reluctant to use it on him. Yes, he did feel angry at a time to the Yondaime but he did it to save his precious people. So he would do the same.
His thoughts were broken when the Yondaime appeared and punched him though the building. Naruto groaned in pain as he laid in a heap. The Yondaime landed on top of the building and did a few hand seals. He slammed his hands on the ground.
"Doton: Iwayado Kuzushi." The ceiling crashed down onto Naruto, completely burying him. The Yondaime stood over the rocks with a cold stare. Suddenly, a red claw shot up and grabbed him. The claw dragged the surprised kage down into the rubble. The rubble then exploded sending the Yondaime crashing into a wall. The Yondaime had a huge hole in his chest. That's when he felt it. His eyes locked with a red glowing Naruto. The foul chakra surrounded him. Naruto looked at the Yondaime. His blue eyes were gone and replaced with red slit eyes. His hands looked like claws and his whisker marks looked broader. His canines got longer and he was on all fours. He let loose a ear piercing howl.
"Holy shit, he's about to transform. We need to get out of here, now." Kagura said
"I agree." Sentaro said
"Wait, wait, wait, what the hell do you mean transform?" Tsunade asked shouting at the departing swordsmen.
"Hey get you asses in gear. When he fully transforms, this is going to be a war zone." Shouted Sayuri. The three looked at each other and nodded. Jiraiya lifted Tsunade and ran with Sakura behind her. Sakura caught a glimpse of two people who were standing on a roof watching the fight. She recognized them as Kakashi and Sasuke. She jumped and landed on the roof. The two turned to see her.
"Hey Sakura, you mind explained what's going on? Why is the Yondaime back?" Kakashi began. The three were hit by a shockwave. All three had to hold themselves down with chakra.
"No time. We need to get out of here. Naruto is doing something and we might get killed if we're near." She said and took off. Kakashi followed and Sasuke reluctantly did as well. They soon caught up with the fleeing group just in time to here Tsunade.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S TRANSFORMING INTO THE KYUBI!" she shouted
"Naruto ran into a fellow demon carrier name Yugito. She held the Nibi no Nekomata. We saved her from the Akatsuki and in her gratitude she show Naruto a technique. This technique allows for Naruto to change into his demon's form just like her. It was how he got the name Shinku Senko. He used this technique at Mt. Raidou base. He destroyed everything and took out everyone at the base. It's why he has a huge bounty on his head in Iwa no Kuni." Kagura explained
"But won't the Kyubi take over?" asked Sakura
"No. The training under Yugito and the Garan no Yojige Fukei prevents that but the power he releases is enormous, enough to level all of Konoha." Sentaro said
"Should we place up the barrier?" Shin asked
"Yeah, to keep the damage contained. We'll set up about two hundred yards away. That should be enough. Get the seals ready." Sentaro ordered
"You should get away from here Hokage-sama." Sansei said. The swordsmen broke off into different areas leaving the group running. Jiraiya and Tsunade wanted to stay but they knew that they did not want to get in the way. Judge by the shockwaves, Naruto was pouring out a massive amount of chakra and it wasn't his chakra.
"You better be careful with that power kid." Whispered Jiraiya. He turned to the others. "Let's go." He ordered and they vanished.
Naruto kept pouring and pouring the demon chakra out. His skin began to change as well. It was almost like Lee when he opened the gates but much different. He became more animal like. There was one more blast that of energy that ripped through all of Konoha and more. The dust cleared to reveal something different. The figure stood on all fours and was bright crimson color. Behind swished six tails. The thing looked like a fox. It locked eyes with the Yondaime and let out a growl. The revived kage did not show any emotions at the creature that stood before him. The creature that stood before him was Naruto transformed.
Dragon6: Authors' Notes: Hello everyone. I hope you like this chapter. I made a mention of the Akatsuki because I needed to explain Yugito's involvement, hence Naruto's transformation. I used what he turned into in the manga. As for my original techniques I use, yes I do use a translator. The one I use is It's called Jeffery's Japanese to English Dictionary Server. I found it off of Google. Well enjoy guys. Oh yeah, I never put this up before but better late than never. I don't own Naruto and I never will but wish I did.
