Talking : "Blah"
Thinking : 'Blah'
Demon Talking : "Blah"
Pasa Sword Talking : "Blah"
Naruto had realized that he had heard that name before in passing and began to rack his brain trying to remember where he knew that name from and then it hit him, Yugito said it to him while they were having lunch one day during his training sessions. Naruto quickly got to his feet and retrieved the Pasa sword from the wall before heading out the door to find Yugito. As Naruto's hand wrapped around the hilt of the sword, he saw the red chakra leak out from the sword and creep up Naruto's arm slowly making it's way to his head. Before the red chakra could even reach Naruto's elbow, a burst of purple chakra formed around his arm and pushed the sword's chakra back into it before disappearing as well. Naruto just looked at his hand with a dumbfound expression on his face
"What was THAT?"
"That would be what happens when you combine human and demonic chakra inside of one vessel and that is just one of many changes that came along with fusion on top of the physical changes"
"I have ears on the top of my head, my hair is now two feet long with streaks, I have tattoos on the back of my hands and I look like a vampire when I smile and you are telling me there are more changes"
"Well of course child, you have bonded with a Kitsune demon and you thought that there would be no changes to your physical form? You are denser then I originally thought"
"You are going to tell me what those changes are or am I just going to figure out what they are all by myself?"
"If I told you, then it would take away all of my fun when you do discover them and I can't have that now can I?"
"Sadistic bitch, well can you at least tell me anything about this group of people I am supposed to be hunting down for you?"
"Do you know how many people exist on this planet right now? How do you expect me to keep track of nine individual people when I have to watch over all of them at the same time"
"I thought that you would make an exception since these people want to end all life in all of the elemental countries as we know it"
"Well I can't tell you anything about the Akatsuki or about your emerging abilities at the moment"
"So you are about as helpful as a kunai in the foot, then I have to go find Yugito and see if she has any helpful information about the Akatsuki since you do not, so I take my leave and have a good life"
Naruto grabbed the Pasa sword from the ground where it lay and walk towards the front gates but as he emerged into the village, his ears were bombarded with thousands of different noises and his nose felt like it was on fire from all of the different smells. He quickly ran back to the safety of the mansion and as he shut the doors behind himself, he could hear the outside noise fading and being replaced with the fewer and quieter sounds coming from inside the house. Naruto cursed the Kyuubi and Sheyshen and whatever other deity was out there while he tried to get his senses under control before venturing out to find Yugito. Naruto walked over to one of the servants who worked in the mansion and told them to go retrieve Yugito for him and as the servant walked off, Naruto clenched his hands around his ears for he noticed even a regular tone of voice sounded like someone shouting.
He went back to his room and shut the door before sitting on his bed in a meditative position so he could begin to hone his senses until he was woken by knock from his door telling him Yugito had arrived. He walked over and opened the door before turning back towards the bed and Yugito walked in after him closing the door behind her and she opened her mouth to speak but before she could get a word out, Naruto clamped his hand over her mouth. She got an annoyed look on her face and pulled Naruto's hand away only to have his other hand take its place and she was about to bite down on his hand before he made the symbol for quiet with his one free hand. Yugito got a curious look on her face as she sat down beside Naruto on his bed before turning and looking at him and in a very low whisper Naruto began to explain his situation leaving out a few details until he knew exactly where Yugito's loyalties lie.
After hearing his tale, the rational half of Yugito wanted to began to laugh at it telling herself that it could not be possible but her other half took in Naruto's new appearance from the fox ears on his head to the tattoos on his hands and felt a bit of fear creep into the back of her mind. She moved a little farther away from where Naruto on the bed before calming down a little
"So what does this all mean then Naruto? Are you a demon now or are you still you under all that hair, fangs and tattoos?"
"Yugito, there was no such things as demons in the first place when it comes to the tailed beasts and yes I am still me but only half, the other half is the Kyuubi"
"So, is it possible to fuse with my demon inside of me?"
"I only managed it under life or death situation and I do not want to put you through that just in case it does not work and you do die in the end, now what can you tell me about the Akatsuki?"
"Personally, I do not know that much about them except that they are collecting the nine tailed beasts but I think the Raikage had a file in his office on a few of the members if you want to go ask him about it"
"I cannot go and speak to the Raikage"
"What! Why not?"
"I will tell you but first I must know if your loyalties lie with the Raikage or with the village?"
"I am a shinobi of the Cloud first and foremost and then the Raikage of course, now what is this all about Naruto?"
"The Raikage died earlier this afternoon by my hand in battle after he struck down my beloved for no reason except his own need for a weapon"
"Wait, so let me get this straight, the Raikage kills Maya and then you turn around and kill the Raikage in a fit of anger and nobody except for you knows this"
"That is basically what happened, he underestimated me and died by my sword before he knew what happened and that is when Sheyshen visited me and all of this strangeness began"
Naruto got up from the bed and walked towards the door leaving Yugito sitting on his bed with a shocked look on her face as everything she had just heard began to register in her mind. She jumped up from her seat and ran after Naruto hoping that this was a one big practical joke that was being played on her but as they reached the Raikage's office and the door opened, Yugito knew that it was no joke. There was blood splashed along the walls and the blood pools on the ground next to where the two halves of the now deceased Raikage lay on the ground and Yugito felt some bile come from her stomach to the back of her mouth and it took most of her will power to keep it down. Naruto walked through the office watching where he stepped so that he would not step on any of the blood so that his shoes would not get soiled and Yugito was following close behind trying to focus on anything but the blood. Naruto made his way over to the filing cabinet, which was imbedded in the wall only to find a locking seal on all of the cabinets
"Naruto, there is no way you are going to get to those files, those seals are probably only going to recognize the Raikage's personal chakra and only open for him"
Naruto looked back at Yugito with a displeased expression on his face before turning back towards the filing cabinet and placing both of his hands around the handle and began to pull. The sounds of twisting and groaning metal reached both of their ears before a slight crack formed around the right side of cabinet that started grow until circling the entire cabinet. With one last loud groan, the metal cabinet broke free from the wall causing Naruto to go flying backwards due to the weight of the cabinet and landing five feet back with the cabinet door still in his hands. Yugito watched the entire scene with a smirk on her face
"Way to go, you couldn't remove the files so you removed the entire cabinet"
Naruto's expression changed from displeasure to annoyance before getting to his feet and dusting off his clothes and throwing the metal door across the room where it embedded itself into the wall. He looked through the files before pulling out the one marked classified and began to sort through the papers trying to find out anything of importance that could help him with his mission. Naruto finally found a sub-file marked Akatsuki which contained biographies of a few of the members such as Uchiha Itachi and Deidara along with pictures and what their capabilities were. On the last page was the biography of dangerous shinobi to ever walk the earth and that was even before he became a missing-nin. Even though it was just a picture, Orochimaru's pale yellow eyes looked like they wanted to devour his soul whole and spit it back out before you would even know what happened. As Naruto read downward, he noticed a small side note written in at the bottom that stated the Raikage had been approached and offered to take part in an invasion plan that Orochimaru had been planning against the village hidden in the leaves within the coming year but rejected it. Naruto shook his head at what that man's pride had cost him in the long run ending with his life and closed the folder back up before placing it into a storage scroll and exiting the office. Yugito followed quickly behind Naruto as they left the mansion
"What do you plan on doing now Naruto?"
"I plan to hold up my end of the bargain to bring Maya back to me by hunting down the nine who wish to end the world through using the power of the tailed beasts"
"How do you plan to do that? You can't just ask them all to come here so you can fight them one on one"
"I plan to hunt them down before they come after me and I will start with Orochimaru since he is traveling alone instead of with another like the other eight"
"What about your ties to Kumo?"
"What ties? Maya is in a coma trapped in an icicle somewhere in the underworld and you are my only other friend here and I think it would be in your better interest to travel with me so that you are not alone when they come to collect the tailed beats inside of you."
"What do you mean? Why would they come after me?"
"You contain the Nibi which is in the eight position in terms of power with only the one-tailed beast below you in power and since you are that low, they will come after you in hopes of an easy capture"
"Hey, I am no pushover Naruto, I am one of the strongest shinobi in Kumo"
"Yes, by normal shinobi levels, you are strong but these are not normal shinobi, they are classified S-Class for a reason and if you do not have anymore questions, I must prepare for my trip and the offer is still open if you wish to come along, just meet me by the south gate in two hours ready to go"
Naruto dashed away onto the rooftops leaving Yugito standing in the middle of the street in deep thought about what her next move should be before she also ran off towards her apartment to begin to pack.
Naruto approached the south gate dressed in a black tank-top with matching black jeans which were baggy enough to allow free movement but to enough to make excess noise while he ran. He also had five scrolls strapped to his belt that contained all of what he would need for the trip so that he would not have to carry any extra baggage that would slow him down. As he waited at the gate, he looked down at his watch noticing that Yugito had three more minutes until her time limit was up and as he watched the second hand circle the watch on the last minute, he saw a purple blur run towards him. Naruto let a small smile grace his lips as Yugito came to a halt right in front of him with a small backpack on her right shoulder
"So, are you ready to go Naruto?"
"Yes, we should leave before someone discovers that the Raikage is dead, it will most probably be by one of the mansion staff tonight and after our disappearance, we will most likely be blamed and dubbed missing-nin ourselves so we have about six hours to leave lightning country's borders"
"Well, it is your fault because you did kill him but not much we can do about it now so let's get moving"
The pair exited the south gate nodding to the guards before dashing down the mountain pass towards the border not stopping for anything until they were safely outside of Kumo's borders.
(A/N) :
- I am back with my walking cast and I have to admit, it is a pain in the ass trying to take a shower and not get the cast wet but I must endure for another four weeks until the doctor says I can take it off so I have more time for my stories now, so hopefully more chapters will appear.
