Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I never will. (But I DID create Ami!)
Another chapter out on time? I know it's quite short, compared to the rest, so sorry about that! I didn't want to add the next bit onto this chapter! It'd be TOO long if I did!
"N-Naruto-kun... How...?" Ami stammered. "You- You're..."
"A half-demon? That's right, Ami." Ren smirked as Ami let out a choked cry. Naruto's nine kitsune tails waved behind him as he gazed emotionlessly at Ami. Ami growled angrily and raced at Ren, drawing her katana as she did so. She raised the blade, ready to bring it down on Ren, when it was blocked by an ink-black blade.
"N-Naruto-kun? What are you doing?" Ami asked, horrified, as she saw that it was Naruto who had blocked her attack.
"I don't know why, but he'll obey everything I say. It may be because I can kill him without even trying." Ren grinned triumphantly. "Friend fighting friend. Bring back any memories, Naruto? Ah, he can't remember. I have to thank you, Ami. He sacrificed himself for you, so you gave me the perfect weapon."
"A weapon? Is that all he is? Ie. Naruto-kun is a Konoha shinobi. He defeated Pein, he defeated Gaara, he can change anyone he meets. Naruto-kun isn't a weapon. He's the one person who can surpass his Tou-san. The Yondaime Hokage." Ami snarled. Naruto's eyes flickered back to their normal azure and Yoru slipped down as Naruto clutched at his head.
"Ah... what hap-" he began, before Ren put his hands in a seal and Naruto cried out in agony as his eyes returned to crimson. Naruto lifted Yoru again and brought it down towards Ami's head.
"MATTE!" Ren snarled. Naruto stopped instantly, Yoru shaking slightly in his hand. "I said don't kill her! Capture her, don't kill her!" Naruto nodded slightly and pulled Yoru back, instantly stabbing at Ami's arm. She knocked his blade away and leapt back.
"Please, Naruto-kun! I don't want to hurt you!" Ami pleaded. Ren scoffed and Naruto flinched, hesitating for a second before he tried to slice Ami's leg open. "Naruto-kun!" Ami wailed in pain as she dodged his attack. "Please! Don't! Don't give up! You aren't a weapon! You're Uzumaki Naruto, the future Hokage!" Naruto dropped to his knees, eyes again flickering back to blue.
"A-Ami... Run... don't want to hurt you..." he whispered. Ami knelt beside him, ignoring Ren, who was frantically trying to get Naruto back under his control.
"It's OK, Naruto-kun. I'll kill Ren and that'll stop this jutsu." Ami whispered. Naruto let out a tiny cry and clutched at his head again as his eyes began to flicker back to crimson.
"Ami-chan! RUN!" he cried. Ami quickly leapt up and raced over to Ren, forming a rasengan in her hand as she did so. Ren looked panicked, his hands still in the seal he had used to control Naruto, and Ami could see Naruto still trying to fight it off. But he was losing. She didn't have much time.
Ami thrust the rasengan forwards and Ren finally took his hands from the seal, smirking in satisfaction. Ami's eyes filled with horror and she quickly cut off the chakra forming the rasengan as Naruto leapt in its way. She stumbled a little and leapt back, seeing the blood that had appeared on Naruto's chest. Thankfully, she had stopped the rasengan before it had injured Naruto any further than the small gashes he now had.
"Damn!" she snarled. "Naruto-kun!" Ren smirked as Ami began to talk, desperatly trying to break the jutsu.
"It won't work." he hissed.
"How do you know?" snarled Ami.
"Because I've put more chakra into the jutsu. It's a lot stronger and I can't even feel him trying to break it." Ren narrowed his eyes as Ami drew her katana again.
"Gomen, Naruto-kun." she whispered, bringing her katana down. Naruto growled and Ren smirked.
"He's a half-demon, Ami. He can control all of Kyuubi's power." Ren hissed. Ami flinched and leapt back as chakra began to swarm around Naruto.
"Oh Kami..." she muttered. "Naruto-kun, please!" Ami cried out as a chakra-claw flew at her. She looked at it and knew that if it hit her, she was dead.
"IE!" Ren snarled again. The chakra claw vanished and Naruto cried out in agony, dropping to the ground, clutching at his head again. "I said: no killing, you baka!" Ren hissed. He kicked Naruto and he whimpered in pain.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Ami screamed angrily, throwing herself at Ren. Naruto quickly leapt up and grabbed Ami's arm, preventing her from moving any further towards Ren. Ami grinned and turned, knocking Naruto to the ground, where she held him down. "NOW!" she yelled. Ren turned in horror as he heard something behind him.
"AKI!" he screamed, "AKI! AOI!" Ami frowned in confusion as Ren turned to face the Rasengan. She growled at him and looked around, just as a hand reached from the shadows and grabbed her by the throat. "NARUTO-KUN! NARUTO-KUN, HELP! NA-" Ami cried before she was cut off. The hand tightened it's grip and Ami coughed out blood. The two kage bunshin who had created the rasengan vanished just as the rasengan hit Ren. He was sent flying into a wall, where he dropped to the ground, almost unconscious. There came a scream of agony from behind Ami and she saw Naruto, pinned to the floor by a katana that had been stabbed straight through his chest. A strange boy, about thirteen, stood over him. His hair was a dark navy-blue and his eyes were the crimson of a half-demon's.
"Traitor." the boy growled down at Naruto. "Traitor! You could have saved Ren-sama! You tried to resist it! You'll die for that!" Naruto's crimson eyes began to close and he groaned in pain. Naruto forced his eyes open again and Ami grinned at him as she saw they were their normal azure. The boy, who she had guessed was Aoi, glared angrily at her.
"Aki, kill her." he snarled. The hand around Ami's throat lifted her up into the air and she kicked at Aki. The girl didn't react, even as her white hair began to turn crimson from the wounds on her head. Aki's hand tightened even more and Ami could see darkness swimming on the edges of her vision.
"Naruto-kun..." she gasped out, trying to lift herself up on Aki's arm. 'Hoshi-chan... Help Naruto-kun... I don't want him to die!' Ami could just see Naruto's breathing begin to fade.
'Kyuu, I don't want to die, AGAIN.' Naruto thought angrily.
'Naruto? I thought you'd been broken when Ren turned you into a half-demon.'
'Apparently not. And I'm dying. Again. Life just doesn't seem to like me at the moment...'
'Life's not fair.'
'Duh. But I don't want Ami-chan to die! Help her, Kyuu! Please!' Naruto begged. Kyuubi's eyes softened and he began to flood Naruto with his chakra.
'You know how Killer Bee turned into the Hachibi?' Kyuubi asked.
'Yeah.'
'Try turning into a kitsune now.' Naruto grinned as he realised what the Kyuubi had done. Ami watched in shock as Kyuubi's chakra enveloped Naruto just as Hoshi's enveloped her. Aki cried out in pain and dropped Ami. She dragged herself quickly over to Naruto, as Aoi cried in agony and raced back from the chakra. Ami carefully grabbed the katana's handle and her eyes widened as she realised that the katana was Yoru. She shook her head and quickly pulled it out of Naruto's chest, before she leapt back from the growing pool of crimson. The wound healed quickly and she sighed in relief as Naruto sat up.
"Did Kyuubi tell you what to do?" she yelled above the roaring of the chakra. Naruto nodded and they both put their hands in a seal.
