ON WITH THE SHOW!
Chapter 11: Forest of Death and the Horsemen cometh...
The charred council was all but laughing, at a recent stroke of luck, apparently a human by the name of Orochimaru had given them all the evidence they needed to kill War and get the other Horsemen's cooperation in the endeavor. This couldn't have been better unless War himself came to turn himself in.
"Yes we now evidence showing War's guilt," the Charred Council said, as they showed War taking Naruto under his wing, War taking a team of humans, and War kissing Uriel. The reactions varied between the remaining three horsemen, Death feeling remorse for once, Strife being completely jealous that War had gotten a girl, and Fury living up to her name, because she was furious that someone besides her got a kiss from War. But they put on a straight face and went to do their job, which at this point was to bring War to justice.
With Naruto, Hinata, and Nero...
Team 10 stood before the forest of death and they were a little disappointed at what they saw. The only thing remarkable to not was the occasional giant snake they saw.
"Home sweet home," Naruto mumbled, and Hinata and Nero nodded glumly.
"All right you maggots this is training ground 44 otherwise known as," Anko was saying.
"The Forest of Death," Naruto interrupted, looking at the forest with little interest. Anko smirked and threw a kunai at Naruto, who dodged the kunai and managed to stop Anko from getting behind him.
"Always be aware of your surrondings," said a voice behind Anko, just as she felt something pressing against her throat. Anko hesitantly turned her head and saw Naruto with a blood-red blade, pressed against her throat. Anko visibly smiled, and was about to try and reverse the hold on Naruto, when a grass nin came out of nowhere with a kunai in their mouth.
"I'm sorry but I believe this belongs to you," the grass-nin said, as the nin rolled his tounge and plopped the kunai in Anko's hand. However the minute the the grass-nin showed up Naruto's arm felt like a demon had lit a fire inside it.
'Something's not right here,' Naruto thought, as he glared at the grass-nin. After Naruto had pulled his blade away from Anko's throat he walked back over to Hinata and Nero.
"We need to keep an eye on him," Naruto said, glancing at the grass-nin who had given Anko's Kunai back.
"But why he's just a genin," Nero asked confused. Naruto sighed and rolled up his sleeve revealing a scar that went from elbow to his wrist, and the weird thing was that the scar was glowing a bright red.
"It only does that when something's about to go very wrong very fast," Naruto explained, rolling his sleeve back down hiding the scar. Nero nodded in understanding before they all turned back and listened to Anko talk.
"I will need you all to sign these forms that will relieve Konoha of any and all liabilty should you die in Training Ground 44," Anko announced as she passed out the fliers. Team 10 shrugged and signed their names immediately.
"Now all genin who have signed there liabilty forms head over to the tent to receive a scroll," Anko ordered, gesturing to a lean-to opposite her. When Team 10 handed their forms in they got a scroll with the kanji for 'Earth' on it, shrugging they decided to hear what Anko had to say.
"For all of those who turned their liabilty forms in you should have received either a 'Heaven' or 'Earth' scroll your objective is to get the opposite scroll and head to the tower in the center of the forest," Anko instructed, "If one of your team members is incapcitated, you don't have both scrolls, or you look at your scroll too early you automatically fail."
"What about food," Chouji asked whiningly, Ank snorted at the question.
"The forest is teeming with life i'm sure you can find something," Anko answered.
"You have any hints you could give us," Sakura asked, and immediately regreted her question when she saw Anko grin sadistically.
"Don't die," Anko answered/shouted, "Now all genin find a gate or you fail."
All the genin went to a gate and waited for the test to begin. About two minutes after the last genin team got to a gate a buzzer sounded and the gates flew open. Team 10 bolted inside, Team 7 ran inside with Saskue giving a glare to anything that might get in his way, the grass-nin from earlier had a sadistic grin on his face, and a team of sound-nin had a look of intense focus on their faces.
'Finally I shall have a worthy host,' thought the grass-nin.
With Team 10...
Naruto, Nero, and Hinata were in a clearing when a stron gust of wind blew Naruto away from his team. When Naruto finally came to he saw a giant snake staring him down, just before the snake erupted and was immediately replaced by a demon that stood a good 20 ft. tall, with the lower half of a salamander, obsidian colored armor covering it's knees and the spots where it's legs and lower body connected, a humanoid chest that was covered in rock like armor, arms that were rippling with muscle and with obsidian gauntlents covering it's rock-like forearms, and the head of a snake with malicous red eyes with dark green slits for the pupils.
"So you are the child of Yellow Flash and the Devil-Sssssslayer," the demon said, with a hint of malice in it's voice.
"The who," Naruto asked, as he drew Jigoku Kitsune.
"You know them asssss Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki," the demon said, the malice continuing to grow in it's voice.
"Ok and you are," Naruto asked, as black flames danced across Jigoku Kitsune's length.
"I am Cain the Conquerer," the demon shouted, as a giant battle axe appeared from flames, "The ruler of the battlefield!"
After the demon introduced itself it brought it's axe down, in a attempt to cleave Naruto in half. Naruto rolled to the side and charged at the demon, but had to jump as the demon brought it's axe down again.
'Damn this demon's fast,' Naruto thought, as he dodged another axe swing, 'But I gotta find some way around that axe.'
Naruto saw his moment when he ducked under another swipe from the giant axe and the axe became embedded in a tree behind him. Naruto ran up the length of the axe and stabbed Cain the Conquerer on the top of his head. However after Naruto did that black flames spread from Jigoku Kitsune's blade to the area around it. Cain promptly let go of the axe and tried to swipe Naruto off of his head, succeding only in causeing Naruto to ram Jigoku Kitsune deeper in his head. After two minutes of thrashing Cain had succeded in dislodging Naruto, and he threw the poor blonde into a tree. After Cain had pulled his axe free of the tree it had gotten stuck in he walked over to Naruto, glaring at the blonde menacingly. Naruto immediately looked around for anything he could use as a weapon, seeing as how Jigoku Kitsune was still lodged in Cain's skull.
'Duh I can use shadow clones,' Naruto thought to himself, just before making a cross shaped hand seal. After Naruto made the hand seal 200 Narutos appeared in a puff of smoke.
"All of you try and get Jigoku Kitsune out of his head," Naruto ordered, all the clones nodded and immediately tried to dog pile the demon. Cain snorted and swung his axe, causing most of the clones to disappear into a plume of smoke. However one clone managed to grab Jigoku Kitsune's hilt and yank it free of Cain's head, causing the black flames that had been there to disperse, after the clone had freed the blade it bolted as fast as it could down to Naruto. Naruto took the blade from the clone and charged at Cain, who snorted and brought his axe down to cleave Naruto in half again. When the two weapons met there was a loud boom and Cain's axe flew from his hands and became embedded in the earth. Cain, realizing that he no longer had his axe, tried to swing a punch at Naruto, who caught it with little effort. When Naruto caught Cain's punch he threw it off to the side, stabbed Cain in one of his exposed feet, and punched him in the stomach, causing the demon to bowl over in pain, Naruto then hit Cain with a left hook, then a right hook, and finished that combo off with a spinning axe-kick, causing Cain to land face first into the dirt. Naruto then pulled Jigoku Kitsune free from Cain's foot and stabbed the demon in it's throat.
"You are powerful," the weakened Cain managed to get out, but his eyes widened when he saw the form of Naruto change from the young blonde to a form with red slitted eyes, a head covered by a blood red helm in the shape of a fox's face, shoulders that were protected by blood-red pauldrons with spikes, a chest that was protected by a blood red chest plate, blood-red bracers with a flame design down it's length, a blood-red blade with flames as black as the deepest pit of hell, and blood-red greaves with the same flame design as the bracers.
"No it can't be," Cain said, not trusting his eyes, "You can't be the Kyubi no Kitsune."
"I'm not the Kyubi," Naruto said, before ramming his sword up through the roof of Cain's mouth, "I'm much better than he ever was."
When Cain the Conquerer breathed his last something strange happened, the body began to collapse like dried mud and a obsidian black orb flew into the axe two feet away, causing the axe to shrink down to a size that Naruto could carry.
"Hmm that's strange," Naruto commented, as he picked the up. After Naruto looked his new weapon over he gave it a few practice swings and then he did a cleaving motion and turned around, but after he turned around the tree he made the cleaving motion at split into two pieces and both halves landed with a earth shattering 'BOOM'.
"Things are about to get a whole lot more interesting," Naruto said, as he holstered his new axe and went to find his team.
Meanwhile with Nero and Hinata...
Nero and Hinata had just come to only to see the grass-nin from earlier smiling at them.
"Ah the Hyuga princess," the grass-nin said, before looking in Nero's direction, "and the child of Vergil no Sparda, such a stroke of luck."
The grass-nin chuckled, as did the most disgusting thing either of the two present had ever seen, before peeling his face away revealing a pale face with yellow snake like eyes, two purple markings that went from the corners of his eyes went from one corner of his eye, over his eye, and spiked on the corner, and midnight black hair. Nero's arm glowed a bright blue, seeing the warning his arm was giving him he immediately drew Red Queen and tried to go on the offensive. One minute later Nero was on the defensive as this supposed genin had the upperhand in both power and speed.
'Naruto where are you,' Nero thought, as he hastily defended himself from another attack by the stranger. A surprised look appeared on the strangers face as he felt a numbness in his back, turning around he saw Hinata with her Byakugan activated.
"So the Hyuga princess finally steps in," the stranger said excitedly, "Time to see how powerful those eyes of yours really are."
The stranger turned and began unleashing a barrage against Hinata, who successfully blocked most of his attacks. Hinata then closed her eyes and focused all her chakra into the tips of her fingers as a yin and yang symbol appeared on the ground beneath her.
"You're within my divination," Hinata said to the stranger, who looked down confused, "Eight trigrams Sixty-four palms."
Hinata launched the first stage of her attack, the stranger blocked them.
"Two palms..."
Hinata launched two more hits at the stranger who blocked them as easily as the first two.
"Four palms..."
Hinata launched four palms at the stranger, and blocked three of the four.
"Eight palms..."
Hinata hit the stranger twice of the eight palms she sent at him.
"16 palms..."
Hinata's movements became faster and the stranger was finding it only slightly harder to block the attacks.
"32 palms..."
Hinata was launching her attacks at full speed now and the stranger was barely blocking them.
"64 palms."
Hinata ended the attack with a quick thrust to the strangers gut, sending him flying into a nearby tree. Hinata nodded glumly and went to check on Nero, however when she got to Nero her eyes widened in pain and she immediately collapsed. When Nero saw the pale faced stranger licking his lips he got pissed. After Nero's rage hit it's peak a phantom like figure appeared behind him, with a blue phantom like a apperance, a long o-katana in it's hand, horns coming from a helm that encompassed it's face, armor that covered whatever parts of it's body that could be seen, and a weird looking sheath on it's left arm.
"You'll pay for that," Nero said, his voice now sounding slightly more demonic. The stranger chuckled and gave Nero the 'bring it on' gesture. Nero charged at the stranger, faster than he ever thought possible, and slashed at him. This time it was the stranger who was on the defensive as Nero moved faster than either of the two thought possible. However after a few minutes of Nero being in his new form he began to slow and eventually his new power faded, causing him to almost black out from the lack of energy.
"And here I thought you were something special," the stranger said, sneering down at the Nero with a look of disgust. Nero did the only thing he could do at the moment, he spit in the stranger's face before he passed out.
"At least I have the Hyuga and the Uchiha," the stranger said, as his neck stretched forward to impossible lengths. But just as he was about to bite Hinata's neck he felt a tremoundus amount of pain at the base of his neck. Promptly turning his head he saw a blonde haired figure, dressed in all black except for the tribal signs on his pants and silver pauldron with a scowling demonic face engraved in it, and the figure was wielding a obsidian colored axe that was embedded in his neck.
"Come it's time for you to dance with the devil," Naruto said, scowling at the figure.
"Ah the Kyubi brat," the stranger said, looking at Naruto almost gleefully, "You'll make a far better host than the Uchiha."
Naruto just continued to glare at the figure as he pulled Jigoku Kitsune from it's sheathe. As soon as the full length of the blade was drawn black flames danced across it's surface, causing the stranger to flinch.
"That blade it couldn't be," The stranger said astonished, but he shook himself out and promptly left the area. Naruto sheathed his weapons, picked up Nero and Hinata, and took them to as safe a location as he could find.
