Chapter Twelve: The Death of Uzumaki Naruto

~A/N~ Nothing much to say... enjoy

How had it ended up like this? The woman he loved lying on the ground screaming in horrid pain. Her body covered in black markings that slowly crept more and more over her. Her once beautiful purple eyes were slowly becoming lifeless black orbs. Her body writhed in constant pain.

Tears ran down her eyes as she tried to cry for help but no words left. Only screams of pain echoed out. Her hands tried desperately to find a kunai, a shuriken, anything she could use to end her pain. She was in an everlasting hell with no possible release.

Dropping to his knees beside the woman he loved knew he only had one option and that could very well end his life and hers if it failed. Closing his eyes for a moment he leaned in a gently kissed Anko's forehead once.

"I will not lose you," Naruto said as he pulled out a sealing scroll and an empty bowl he usually used for his Dokujutsu. Thankfully he had just cleaned it.

"Naruto, what are you planning on doing?" Yamato asked. He had been the closest but still failed to help when the attack happened.

"Thanks to my mother's journal, all of the training I've done in Fuinjutsu over the last months and with a little luck from kami. I will save Anko. Now leave," Naruto said.

"I really shouldn't," Yamato spoke.

"Leave I will not have you see this," Naruto said with a glare.

"Naruto… would you like some cover?" Yamato asked.

"If you could," Naruto said. Yamato nodded and made a small wooden house around Naruto. With that done Yamato obeyed the order from a clan head and left.

"Anko… I'm sorry but this will only get worse for a bit," Naruto said as he pulled out a kunai and held his wrist over the bowl. With a single movement he sliced his wrist and started to pour blood into the bowl. He refused to let it heal until the bowl held a good pint and a half of blood. Dropping back Naruto panted heavily. Looking to his wrist he saw it was already healed shut.

"Guess I should get started," Naruto said as he pulled out a small sealing brush.

"Fūinjutsu: Karada Kinbaku," Naruto said as he painted a single seal on Anko's stomach. With that in place Anko's body instantly stopped moving.

"I'm sorry Anko… this isn't how I wanted to see you in all your glory for the first time," Naruto said as he started to undress Anko. If this was going to work he had to have all the surface space he could for seals.

Once Anko was naked he started what would be the hardest and most dangerous seal he'd ever attempted. Dipping this brush in the blood he started on Anko's forehead. He covered her face, neck and collar in a set of seals before he moved to her arms.

"One part down, three to go," Naruto said as he started writing up her arm. He moved with a surprising amount of skill and precision as covered Anko's body.

"Mind Alter Seal is broken by the Freed Bird Seal, the Slave Seal is shattered by the Relinquished Bonds Seal, the Death Seal is countered by the God's Grace Seal, and finally the Soul Fragment Seal is dissolved by the Blood Ward Seal," Naruto said as he worked tirelessly at covering Anko's whole body.

Her head, shoulders, arms, breasts, stomach, legs, feet even her womanhood was covered in seals. And it had used every last bit of the blood Naruto and poured out.

"I will NOT lose you," Naruto spoke as he sat back crossing his legs before he started to speak and started running through the biggest chain of hand signs he had ever done.

"Fūinjutsu: Muryō Tori Fūin," Naruto spoke as the all the seals on Anko's face, neck and collar all started to glow and move.

"Fūinjutsu: Hōki Shasai Fūin," Naruto called out a second seal this time all the seals on Anko's arms started to glow and move

"Fūinjutsu: Kami no Megumi Fūin," This time it was the seals on Anko's legs up to her waist that started to glow and move.

"Fūinjutsu: Ketsueki Byōtō Fūin," Finally all but the Body ties seal started to glow and move on Anko's chest.

"Fūinjutsu: Yonhō Fūin Tatakiwaru!" Naruto shouted at the top of his lungs. All of the seals on Anko's body started moving towards the curse mark that flared red on her neck. Naruto continued to pump his chakra into Anko as his seals now fought to break the Ten no Juin.

Naruto knelt placing his hands over Anko's curse seal. He started to pump his chakra forward into the seal in attempts to help the seals work. Anko's screams started to echo out more and more as her black markings slowly started to fade as Naruto's seals started to win out.

"Just a bit more," Naruto said.

'Kit stop!' the Kyūbi shouted.

"I will not," Naruto replied as he continued to pump his chakra into Anko.

'Kit if you don't stop you'll run out of chakra… even I can't save you if you use up all of your chakra,' the Kyūbi said in a worried voice.

"Then help me out," Naruto spat back.

"I can't… if I add any of my chakra she'll become a pseudo Jinchuriki," the Kyūbi answered.

"Then let me work… I will not lose her," Naruto growled. Anko's shouts slowly died off causing Naruto to stop his fright filled work. He looked to see the curse seal fading away one tomoe at a time. Naruto smiled as he dropped backwards panting heavily.

'Not a moment too soon. You have to rest now,' the Kyūbi said. Naruto went to move before he simply dropped out cold.

~Flashback: Chūnin Winner and the start of the attack ~

Just about everyone in the entire village stood in stunned silence. Literally the last person they expected to come out on top in the Chūnin Exam had come out on top. Rock Lee. This green clad boy had beat Hinata in the first round after a good fight. The shock came when it came to Lee facing off against Neji. Neji who had not just beaten Sasuke he had beaten him soundly.

The fight started and Lee held nothing back. His weights came off and the gates opened. Neji was for a word Decimated. He had tried but Lee massive speed was more than he could handle. In the end Neji suffered a few broken bones from the attack.

The final round was once again a shock. The final round had come down to a three way fight between Gaara, Lee and Shino. Now while both expected Lee to use the two gates he had against Neji they were not expected five gates to open.

Shino unsurprisingly forfeited the moment Lee opened the third gate. Gaara on the other hand attempted to fight. And fight they did. Lee had trouble even with his opened gates to break through Gaara's sand defense. But in the end Gaara forfeited as well not wanting to rely on the Shukaku for fear of it trying to take over.

The moment Lee was declared the winner the attack happened. The first thing seen was a massive red ape storming the village. Following the beast was the combined forces of Iwa and Oto. Konoha rose up to meet the threat instantly. Whether it was a clan or the clanless all rose to fight the attack.

Naruto and Anko landed beside one another both focused on protecting the civilians near them. The only lasted about four seconds before both were stopped dead by the appearance of Orochimaru. He was targeted Anko. Neither of them had any close thoughts of winning. But they would not let him just walk away so the two charged to attack the former Snake Sage. Showing why he was a Sannin he easily bypassed all of Anko's defenses and grabbed her. His hand went over her curse mark.

"Let's wake this up shall we?" Orochimaru smiled as Anko's curse mark flared to life. The black marking instantly started to spread over her body. Naruto quickly came to Anko's aid attempting to push back the Sannin. It did not work. He simply and quiet literally slapped Naruto aside and left his target now shifting to more powerful challenges.

~Flashback End~

Naruto's eye snapped open to see Anko sleeping. Her breathing was even and her curse mark was gone. The attack was still happening. Struggling for a moment Naruto stood and left the shack to help but not until he had left a Shadow Clone to watch over Anko.

"I gotta help out," Naruto said as he drew his swords and took off into the village.

~Within the village~

The massive ape had vanished shortly after it smashed open the front gates and the forces stormed in. Currently said Jinchuriki of the massive ape started down a young red haired girl. Something had stopped him from simply killing her. She awoke something within him something he thought long gone.

"Who are you?" the red haired man asked.

"U… Uzumaki Karin," Karin said as she looked up at the man. Sure she had shinobi training but she wasn't going to stand a chance against someone like this. She had seen that he was the one that shattered the gates in the form of a giant ape. That meant he was a Jinchuriki like Naruto and she was just a high Genin low Chūnin at best. She didn't stand a chance.

"You are kin?" the man spoke.

"You're an Uzumaki?" Karin asked.

"Uzumaki Roshi," Roshi replied. (I know he's not in Cannon. Just go with it.)

"So at least three of us still remain," Karin said.

"Three… Konoha has two Uzumaki in is?" Roshi asked.

"Yes the last heir to the main branch lives here," Karin said.

"The main branch… I wasn't aware that Kushina-sama had a child," Roshi said as he thought of the red haired woman.

"She did with the Fourth," Karin said. Roshi shook his head. Of course she did. The one person who could command him over the Tsuchikage just had to have a child with the man his kage hated the most in the world.

"Is he good?" Roshi asked.

"Yeah, when I swore myself to him as a servant he agreed then made me a Branch Family Head a few days later," Karin explained.

"Interesting," Roshi said as he stroked his beard for a few moments.

"Why are you attacking?" Karin asked.

"Command from the Tsuchikage," Roshi replied as he continued to think.

"Why didn't you say no?" Karin asked.

"The Tsuchikage is not like the Hokage… he commands not asks and doesn't allow you to pick whether or not you want to do something," Roshi replied with a sigh.

"I've grown tired and sick of war but a command is a command," Roshi said as he turned away. "Find somewhere to hide… I can't kill kin," Karin nodded and ran off leaving Roshi to continue thinking on whatever had claimed him mind.

A massive horde of bugs swarmed over a group of screaming Oto and Iwa shinobi. They weren't lucky enough to know fire jutsu to cause enough damage to drive the bugs off. Two figures appeared in the swarm as they moved through the group.

"Father," Shino said looking towards his father.

"I am aware," Shibi replied. The two turned to see a single form in the swarm standing unharmed. Shino took a step forward to see someone he wasn't expecting.

"You're Tsuchi Kin," Shino said seeing the black haired girl standing in the swarm.

"Yeah," Kin replied as she looked at the swarm of bugs slowly vanishing back into the two Aburame shinobi.

"Why are you here?" Shino asked.

"I don't want to attack Konoha," Kin said showing she was weaponless. Shino raised an eyebrow while Kin looked down.

"Son we cannot linger," Shibi spoke.

"I like you ok," Kin suddenly blurted out. Shino paused for a moment then tilted his head to the side.

"I find it hard to believe as we know nothing about each other," Shino said.

"Well then let's get to know each other better," Kin said before she suddenly blushed heavily at what she had just implied.

"Girl turn yourself in and we can have this conversation another time," Shibi said as he looked at the girl. Kin nodded after a moment and Shibi pulled a pair of chakra restraining cuffs out of his bag.

"Why do you have those?" Kin asked.

"For situations like this," Shibi replied plainly. With kin cuffed the three left and the swarm of bugs kicked up again to protect them.

Naruto landed in a clearing panting heavily. He still hadn't fully recovered from using just about all of his chakra up. And he couldn't take much more of the Kyūbi's chakra. "Well well that do we have here?" a voice spoke. Naruto looked to see a somewhat overweight boy with orange hair.

"I don't feel like playing around so just surrender and I won't kill you," Naruto said as he drew his swords.

"Those are Kimimaro's swords," the orange haired kid said with venom in his voice. Without another second of hesitation he charged at Naruto. Naruto rolled his eyes and shot forward and easily passed the boy.

All Naruto heard after that was a pained grunt and a thud. Just like that he was dead. It was at the last second that he saw the arrow. Dropping back he dodged it enough to where it was only a cut a crossed his shoulder.

"So close," a voice from the trees spoke. Naruto looked at his shoulder to see it was healed already.

"Oh fuck this, Mapō: Ankokukai no Arukimasu," Naruto spoke as he slipped into the shadow realm. He smiled as he quickly saw three figures land trying to find out where he went. His eyes lingered on the red haired girl for a moment. She looked a little like Karin… was probably just the hair.

Naruto looked to see the one with six arms and one with two head. After a moment he decided to end them both. Creating a single shadow clone to move behind the other he picked the two headed one. He readied his swords and canceled the jutsu.

Both boys died instantly neither had time to dodge or even fully comprehend what they had just seen. Naruto had chosen to play it safe and stabbed his sword through both of the two headed boy's heads. While his clone wedged his sword into the six armed boy's back and out his chest impaling his heart.

"Kidomaru, Sakon, Udon! You motherfucker!" the red head shouted she quickly moved to grab something only to find the blonde in her face. Her eyes shot wide she hadn't seen him move. A tremble of fear rolled through her back as she saw the boy take her weapon pouch and throw it away. Now she was unarmed and he was easily close enough to kill her.

"Sup," Naruto and the clone both said as they turned to the girl. Said girl simply lowered her head and closed her eyes. She knew when she was outmatched.

"Just make it quick," the red head spoke.

"Who said I was going to kill you?" Naruto asked with a smirk. The red head looked at him in confusion. Why would he?

"What are you going to fuck me or something?" the girl asked. Naruto didn't hold back his laughter and simply burst out.

"No thanks… my girlfriend is plenty for me," Naruto said as the girl got red faced.

"Then what the fuck do you want?" the girl asked.

"How about your name first," Naruto replied.

"Tayuya," Tayuya replied.

"See that wasn't hard," Naruto said with a smirk. Tayuya's eyes shot wide as pain roared through her she glanced down to see a sword sticking out of her chest and hitting the blonde. Someone had used her as a distraction.

"Well done," Orochimaru's voice spoke as he pulled his sword back and let the girl hit the ground. He could care less if she lived or died. His target was the boy that was a constant thorn in his side. This one kid had taken his best servant, his sword, one of his favorite bases, his summons and now three of his sound four.

~This Part gets a little bloody just a warning~

Skip if you want

Naruto stumbled backward holding his chest where the sword had it. He hated to think it but Tayuya had saved his life by being there. The sword had only just caught him. Looking at the Sannin Naruto growled.

"What the fuck is wrong with you. You just kill you own men?" Naruto asked looking at the bleeding girl on the ground.

"Trash should be treated as such," Orochimaru replied. Naruto just growled and readied to fight the Sannin. He wasn't going to go down without a fight. Orochimaru simply grinned and spun the sword he had in his hand once.

"Allow me to show you something of your mother's," Orochimaru said as his grin widened. Naruto took half a step back and got into his best defensive stance.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu," Orochimaru called out and six more smirking Sannin's came into existence. "Uzumaki Sword Art: Thousand Strikes of the Seven-headed Hydra," the seven Orochimarus spoke in unison. Naruto tried his best but couldn't keep up.

Naruto lost count after the tenth slash as the pain blotted all else out. That was until a new form of pain roared through him as his right hand was taken off. He didn't get time to fully realize what had happened before he saw a blade come up from his side and all but instantly removed his entire left arm.

Strike after strike grew more and more painful. That was until a blade sliced a crossed his throat. With that Naruto dropped to the ground. The moment his body hit all seven swords from the Orochimarus converged and impaled his heart.

"Such a foolish boy," Orochimaru said as he simply walked away.

~Part over~

~With Anko~

Anko's eyes snapped open and she quickly sat up. She looked to see Naruto sitting a few feet from him. "Naruto," Anko spoke with a hoarse voice.

"Sorry I'm just a Clo-" the clone started to say before his eyes bugged out and he simply dispersed.

"Naruto!" Anko struggled to her feet. The only reason a shadow clone would just vanish like that would be either the creator was knocked out or died. Anko's heart sunk and she tore out the door and simply ran in one direction. She didn't know how or why but she knew where Naruto was.

"Don't you dare die," Anko said to herself as she ran with everything she had. "I can't lose you," Anko added as she took to the roof tops.

~Back in the clearing~

Naruto's eyes slowly closed as he felt the Kyūbi's chakra trying to save him. But he knew it was pointless. With a missing left arm, right hand, his legs from the knees down, his throat slashed and so much more he knew he was done for. Only one thing ran through his mind at this point.

"Anko," Naruto thought as he eyes fully closed as he felt Death's embrace on him.

"NARUTO!" Anko screamed out as she reached the clearing to see the horrid scene. Four dead bodies and one severely hurt. She paid no heed to the still bleeding girl on the ground. Naruto was all she cared about.

"Naruto… I'm here please… please don't do this… don't die," Anko cried as she pulled the young man she loved into her arms. Tears ran down her face as she felt nothing. No pulse.

Uzumaki Naruto was dead.
