Chapter 12
Konoha
Konoha is now a battlefield, the ninjas from Suna and Oto are clashing blades against the ninjas of Konoha, even the matriarch and patriarch of the known ninja clans sprung to action. The Inuzuka clan are hunting down Oto ninjas and Suna ninjas with their dogs, the Aburame are using their insects against those pests (no pun intended), the original Ino-Shika-Cho trio use their teamwork and signature jutsus such as the _**Body expansion Jutsu, Shadow Stangle Jutsu **_and _**Mind destruction Jutsu**_. The ANBU are busy focusing on the giant snake summon that is destroying the buildings, but their troubles are over when a giant toad land on top of it and kills it. On top of that toad is a man in his 50s with spiky lone white hair and resembles a kabuki actor. It is Jiraiya the toad sage, he grins as he defeated that snake.
"Master Jiraiya" said one of the ANBU "Thank Kami you came"
"And a good thing too" said Jiraiya as he jumps off the toad and lands on the ground while counterattack nearby enemies. "That bastard Orochimaru is up to his old tricks, where's the Hokage?"
"With that traitor Orochimaru" said the ANBU captain
"Okay, I want you to search for Naruto" said Jiraiya "We can't risk losing our weapon after what our Yondaime did to sacrifice his life for"
"Master Jiraiya" said one of the ANBU "I've got info that Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno were given a mission by the elders to capture Naruto who has left the village"
"Go and assist them" said Jiraiya
"But what of the village?" said the ANBU captain
"We have plenty of shinobi here" said Jiraiya "plus I am here too, now go"
"HAI" said the ANBU squad as they vanish in a swirl of leaves and left to assist the Uchiha and the Pink Haired bi-I mean kunoichi.
Meanwhile
Kushina is placing booby trap seals everywhere in the deserted street of Konoha, various traps are stored in those seals and are primed. The seals are on the floor and walls, inside buildings and on windows, they vanish to blend in with the buildings.
"There" said Kushina "that's one street done, more streets to be booby trapped.
Then suddenly Kushina was ambushed by Oto ninja and Suna ninja, they assumed that Kushina is an actual ANBU
"Die Konoha scum" said an Oto ninja
"Time for some fun" said Kushina "the Red Death strikes again"
Kushina unsheathes her katana and swiftly hacks the Suna and Oto Ninjas in pieces before she sheathes her sword with a click. The Suna and Oto ninja are reduced to blood and gore and Kushina walks away.
_No doubt this invasion would end and placing these traps all over this village would take several hours _thought Kushina until she smirked as she got an idea _luckily I learned a few jutsu from that scroll 13 years ago_
Kushina performs a hand sign and creates a few dozens of shadow clones.
"Alright guys, we need to do this fast" said Kushina "I have a feeling that this invasion will not last long. Now go and place those traps pronto"
"Hai" said the few dozen clones and vanish into resume the job.
"Right then" said Kushina as she resumes the trap setting in Konoha "I can't waste more time"
Outside of Konoha
Sasuke and Sakura are following Pakkun's lead while the pug tracks Naruto with his sense of smell.
"I think I got his scent" said Pakkun "let's go slackers"
"Arrogant mutt" mutters Sasuke
"What was that?" assumed Pakkun
"Nothing" lied Sasuke
Meanwhile Naruto continues chasing Temari and Kankuro in order to continue his fight against the Shukaku Jinchuriki Gaia. Temari and Kankuro jumps down from the branches and hides in the bushes and keeps quiet to hope that the new Overlord loses them.
_Come on, go _thought Temari in the bushes
Naruto looks around as he lost them, he narrow his eyes with suspicion and starts chopping down trees as he is unaware that they are literally under his nose.
"Now where have they gone?" said Naruto "they think they can hide from me, I'll give them credit for trying to lose me…but they can't hide forever."
"_**What do you suggest you do?" **_asked the Overlord
_Try out my new Doujutsu and see if it can locate them _thought Naruto as he slowly closes them _if it's superior to the _**Byakugan**_ _then it would work like one_
"_**You think it would work like that doujutsu, I mean no one know what abilities your doujutsu has" **_said the Overlord
_More the reason to test it and find out _thought Naruto as his eyes turn from blue to silver with ripples, he widen them as he instantly located Temari and Kankuro _so they are under me, clever but futile; no one escapes from my eyes_
Naruto then dashes away from them to make the Suna genins think they fooled them. Temari comes out of the bushes and sighed in relief.
"Finally we lost him" said Temari in relief
"Lost who now?"
Temari turns to see Naruto close to her face, her and Kankuro's face suddenly fills with fear and jumps back away from him. Naruto walks closer to her and unsheathes his _**Hell Sword**_
"The chase ends now, Suna ninja" said Naruto "surrender the Jinchuriki or forfeit your lives."
"Never" said Temari until Kankuro stood in front of her and positions for battle.
"Get out of here, Temari" said Kankuro "get Gaia to safety"
"But Kankuro" protests Temari until Kankuro argues back
"No buts" said Kankuro "we have a mission and we must fulfil it to bring Suna back its glory, now GO!"
"Hai" said Temari as she leaves with the unconscious Gaia
"So you want to get in my way" said Naruto "alright, it's your funeral"
"I am not scared of you" said Kankuro
"Your body betrays you" said Naruto as he can see the body language of Kankuro's body showing fear. "Your body is shivering and you are hesitating to strike me, is it that I scare you that much"
"You are worse than Gaia" said Kankuro
"9 times to be precise" said Naruto as he starts channelling Kuremi's chakra to demonstrate "and I'll show you why"
A portion of Kuremi's chakra skyrockets and causes a gust of wind to blow violently and forces Kankuro to crouch on one knee.
_Such power _thought Kankuro as he widen his eyes at this intense flow of power.
Naruto halts the flow and coldly glances at Kankuro.
"That is just one tail's amount of the demonic chakra within me" said Naruto "I contain the Kyuubi no Kitsune within me, strongest of all the 9"
"S-Strongest?" said Kankuro
"That's right" said Naruto "Imagine Gaia goes all demon but 9 times more deadlier, that is the power of the Kyuubi"
"You're bluffing" said Kankuro "there is no way you can contain that amount of power"
"You're right, no one can handle that amount of power" said Naruto "but that's beside the point, I would give you one last chance to stand aside of I will not hesitate to kill you"
"I have my answer" said Kankuro "the answer is n…"
Naruto suddenly approached Kankuro and swung his blade at him, but Kankuro dodges it barely and got a cut on his face and tore his hood off to reveal his spiky brown hair.
"Your movements are swift" said Naruto "so you are ready to fight me"
"I have no choice in the matter" said Kankuro as he removes the mummy like object off his back and pulls off the bandages to reveal a wooden 3 eyed puppet with 4 arms and wears a black ragged cloak. "_**Puppet Master Jutsu: Karasu"**_
Kankuro channels his chakra and forms them into puppet strings to control his puppet Karasu, the puppet's joints creak and clatter.
"A ninja puppeteer" said Naruto "Suna is famous for their puppets"
"But this is not just a puppet" said Kankuro "Karasu here has deadly tricks up his sleeve"
"I would suspect that" said Naruto as he watches the puppet fly towards Naruto as it reveals a poisonous hidden blade from its wrist. Naruto dodges it and swings his sword to chop it into firewood.
CLANG
Another hidden blade popped out and blocked the _**Hell Sword, **_Naruto performs _**Plasma Sword Jutsu**_ and swipes it at the puppets head but missed as the puppet decapitated itself with the help of Kankuro's strings and detachable body. Naruto frowns at this and jumps back, Kankuro smirks at this as he move his fingers to control the puppet, the puppet Karasu strikes at Naruto but misses as he ducks down and counterattacks it.
POOF
Karasu poofs into smoke and reveals to be a log, the puppet used the _**Substitution Jutsu**_ and appear behind Naruto to strike.
CLANG
Naruto saw the puppet sneak behind him thanks to his doujutsu, he channels his plasma chakra to perform _**Plasma sword **_and swings it at Karasu but missed thanks to Kankuro's fast finger work on the chakra strings. Naruto turns his eyes at Kankuro and decides to charges at him instead. But Karasu starts getting in his way by swiping poisonous blades at him on the wrists and shooting senbon needles dipped in poison. Kankuro saw this to his advantage to reveal his other puppets as he pull out scrolls from his pocket.
_I need to pull out the big guns to kill this guy _thought Kankuro as he open the scrolls and releases 2 more puppets out. _**Puppet Master Jutsu: Kuroari and SanshÅ uo**_
Kankuro summon 2 more puppets, the first is similar to Karasu but it has 6 arms instead of 4 and has red horns on its longer head and the body is the size of a barrel and hollow. Kuroari is built for captivity. The second puppet resembles a giant lizard with a metal shield on its back, Shanshouo is built for defence.
"Now die" said Kankuro as he sent Kuroari to assist Karasu while he stands on Sanshouo.
Karasu and Kuroari charges to kill Naruto, Naruto swing his _**Hell Sword **_and _**Plasma Sword**_ at them but Kankuro's finger work made them evade the blades swiftly. Kuroari appears behind Naruto and grabs him while plunging serrated blades on each segments of its 6 arms and Karasu retracts it's poisonous blades to strike at Naruto.
"Got you" said Kankuro smirking in triumph
But Naruto lift his leg and kicks Karasu away and grapples Kuroari's hard with his legs and slams it down to the ground. Naruto is now free from Kuroari's grasp with cuts on his arms and scratches on his armour. Naruto looks at Kankuro and charges at him to strike the Suna puppet master, Kankuro knew this would happen and controls Sanshouo to raise its defences up. Naruto swings his _**Hell Sword **_at the shield but it just bounces the blade back.
"Don't bother" said Kankuro "Sanshouo's defences are impregnable, not even your mighty sword and jutsus can break through them. The metal of this shield is a diamond alloy and absorbs heat and electricity."
Naruto then dodges Karasu's surprise attacks but didn't avoid Kuroari's as it traps him in its hollow body. Naruto is trapped inside and Kankuro smirks at this.
"Got you now" said Kankuro "I had to say that Karasu and Kuroari makes a deadly combination, and I'll show you why"
Karasu starts to deassemble and the joints retract blades, they hover around Kuroari and positioned to strike.
"Now you die" said Kankuro _**"Black Secret Jutsu: Iron Maiden"**_
Karasu's limbs and head dive down to Kuroari's body, the blades sunk into the puppet and inside the hollow body to impale Naruto with those blades. Kankuro smirks at this as Kuroari's body opens up to see the result. But he widen his eyes as he just see is not Naruto but a few Brown minions instead.
"What the…" said Kankuro until a huge blade sticks out from his chest and stomach, he widens his eyes and grunts in pain.
"I don't have time to waste" said Naruto darkly "die with ignorance and begone"
Naruto slashes up till Kankuro's chest and head is vertically sliced in half and spraying out blood, Naruto then swings his _**Hell Sword **_multiple times over and over until Kankuro is nothing but a pile of bloody chunks. He even destroyed the Puppets and piles them next to the piled up gore. Naruto doesn't clean the blood off and just sheathes it on his back.
"I'm coming now, Gaia" said Naruto as he leaves the area and commence the pursuit to the Jinchuriki named Gaia.
Back to Sasuke and Sakura
Pakkun is still following Naruto's scent and suddenly stops as he caught another scent.
"What's wrong" said Sasuke "why have we stopped?"
"I smell blood" said Pakkun as sniffed "and it's not Naruto's"
"Who's is it?" said Sakura reluctantly
"I don't know" said Pakkun "but let's check it out"
"We can't waste time, we need to get Naruto" said Sasuke
"If we don't investigate then we won't know what happened to Naruto" said Pakkun "our mission is to find and arrest him. That means bring him back alive"
"He has a point, Sasuke-kun" said Sakura
"Hn…fine we'll investigate" said Sasuke
"It's this way" said Pakkun as he dash to the area.
They arrive at the area and the stench of blood whiffs in the air, Pakkun covers his nose and whimpers at the stench.
"What's wrong, Pakkun" said Sakura "I assume that you got use to the stench of blood since you're a ninja summons"
"Hai but the stench is strong and by the smell of it…Naruto wasted no time killing the poor bastard" said Pakkun as he turns to the source of the smell "Look"
Sasuke and Sakura sees and causes their eyes to widen in horror, the sight from it gives shivers down Sasuke's spine and Sakura emptied out the contents of last night's dinner and breakfast on the ground. The sight is…horrible that it's best not to describe.
"My Kami" said Sasuke "Naruto did this?"
"no doubt about it" said Pakkun "I got the scent of metal on what's left of the body and then traced it on Naruto's weapon. They're a match, Naruto did this and I think he showed no remorse or regret on his actions"
"You mean he did this horrible thing without hesitating?" said Sakura as she is getting scared now "M-Maybe we can just return and report this mission as a fail"
"And lost this one of a life time opportunity to become a Chunnin?" said Sasuke "no way, besides I am not afraid, we're ninjas and we must expect these kind of things to happen. And it's Naruto we are talking about, I know how to deal with the Dobe"
"But Sasuke-kun" said Sakura "didn't you forget his sudden change back in the Forest of Death and what he said to us back then?"
(Flashback: month ago)
_Forest of death_
_RUMBLE_
_The bandaged ninja stops as he hears the rock pile rumbling, he looks at the rock pile Naruto is buried in and saw a hand spout out from the pile._
_"What the…" said the bandage ninja until he feels huge amount of demonic chakra flowing out_
_"Dosu, what's going on?" said Zaku_
_"I don't know" said the bandaged ninja known as Dosu as he then sees Naruto rising from the rock pile. Even Sasuke saw this and widen his eyes with shock and surprise._
_Naruto's face is covered in shadows by his own spiky blond hair, however his hair grew a few inches and it reached down to his shoulders, also it has red steaks at the tips. His orange jacket is torn and tattered due to the battle he had with the Overlord and also being buried under a pile of rocks. Naruto looks up to the Oto ninja and Sasuke and gaze them an icy cold glare through his shadow covered face. The icy glare gave the Oto ninjas a cold shiver down their spines, especially Sasuke as if he is looking at a demon with those cold blue eyes._
_Those eyes thought Dosu I've seen anything like them except for Lord Orochimaru, who is this kid_
_"So you got out of there alive" said Zaku as he shook off the cold shiver and smirks arrogantly at Naruto. "No matter, I'll bury ya again. **ZANKUHA!"**_
_Zaku blasts out air at Naruto but missed as the blonde just vanished instantly._
_"Huh?" said Zaku with shock until Naruto appeared again in front of him and gave him a punch in the gut, the impact of the punch feels like he has been hit by a cannonball and it knocked out the wind out from his lungs and also sent him crashing into a boulder nearby. Zaku winces badly from the punch and starts to vomit and cries out dramatically as the punch was too much for him to handle._
_"OH KAMI, AGH!" shouts Zaku as tears force out from his eyes as the pain was extreme, he vomits again and coughs violently._
_Naruto starts cracking his knuckles and also his neck while walking towards Zaku who is now scared of the blonde._
_"No…STAY AWAY!" shouts Zaku as he uses **Zankuha** at Naruto but missed as he dodged the wind and grabs the Oto ninja's wrists from behind. "No…no, NOOO!"_
_Naruto then dislocates the Oto ninja's arms and shattered the bones to make them useless to use, Naruto then kicks Zaku away towards the other 2 Oto ninjas. He gives them the icy cold glare and casued them to shudder at this KI coming from Naruto. Dosu needs to think fast and the only way to do that is to surrender If he and the other Oto ninjas to escape._
_"Listen to me, how about we trade you our scroll for our lives" said Dosu as he take out his Earth scroll. "You need it right, let us go and it's all yours"_
_Naruto said nothing for a while; the suspense is killing the Oto ninjas as fear is overwhelming them. Then Naruto said one thing._
_"Fine, you can go" said Naruto as he then walk towards a rock and sat on it "leave the scroll and go, this is your last chance to escape. Don't look back or I'll do even worse than what I did you friend there"_
_The Oto kunoichi is doing what she can to treat Zaku's injuries while Zaku is trying not to cry out of pain. Dosu sighed at this and nods at Naruto._
_"Don't worry, you will not see us again" said Dosu as he put the scroll down on the ground and leaves with his 2 comrades "let's go"_
_"Hai" said the Oto Kunoichi as she carries her injured comrade on her back._
_Naruto looks at the scroll and walks to it. He picks up the scroll and tosses it to Sasuke._
_"Keep hold of it" said Naruto before he tosses at Kunai at the bushes "Come on out"_
_Team 10, Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka and Choji Akamichi came out of hiding with fear in their faces. Then Ino starts shouting at Naruto like a bitch._
_"NARUTO, WATCH IT YOU NEARLY KILLED US!" shouted Ino until she stops when Naruto gave her an icy cold glare_
_"You point being?" said Naruto darkly, shutting the blonde mindbender up. "You forget that in this exam, YOU are MY enemy. It doesn't matter if we're on the same village, its kill or be killed. A bitchy kunoichi like you who doesn't take her job seriously wouldn't even know what it mean to be a ninja. You want my advice? Either stops the bitching and grows up or I will end your pathetic existence!"_
_Naruto then walks away towards the forest, not before he looks at Sasuke._
_"Know this Sasuke, I only helped you because of this exam" said Naruto "don't expect a thank you from me or any help. Once this exam is finished, prepare for a clash between me"_
_He then turns to Team 10 who flinched at Naruto's glare._
_"The same goes with you 3" said Naruto before he then leaves into the deep dark parts of the woods. "See you in 5 days"_
Flashback ends
"Naruto suddenly changed from his hyper knuckle headed self and into that…monster" said Sakura
"I am aware of it" said Sasuke as he remembered the time he felt fear when he fought Naruto in the finals.
Flashback
_A blade of plasma sticks out of Sasuke's chest and cauterizing the hole around it, Sasuke turns Naruto with intense killer intent in his eyes._
_"You shouldn't let your guard down, not for an instant" said Naruto quietly and dark, Sasuke slowly turn his head to Naruto. A cold shiver run down his spine, Naruto is giving out a dark KI and Sasuke is feeling the fear flowing through. "In the presence of a predator"_
_Naruto pulls out the plasma sword and grabs the Uchiha by the neck, he tighten the grip and starts choking him. Sasuke grab hold of his neck to prevent the suffocation. Naruto just coldly looks at Sasuke and watches him fight for air. Naruto then slams him down on the ground and pins his hands together with a Kunai._
_"AGH!" screamed Sasuke as the Kunai pierces his hands, Naruto then plunge more kunai into Sasuke's legs so that he cannot move. Naruto pulls out his **Hell Sword **and places the blade near the back of the neck in an execution position._
_"End of the line, Uchiha" said Naruto darkly as he raise his blade in the air "Say goodbye to your wasted life"_
Flashback ends
_I never felt fear like this ever since the Uchiha massacre _thought Sasuke _Naruto is no human, the villagers are right…he's a demon_
Meanwhile with Naruto
Naruto is getting closer towards the wind mistress and the Shukaku Jinchuriki while dusk approaches, Temari is trying to lose Naruto but her affects are in vain due to the new Overlord's new doujutsu locked onto her. Gaia then starts to groan and wake up, Temari noticed and stops on a branch.
"grr, T-Temari, what are you doing" said Gaia tiringly "Let go of me"
"Gaia, your awake" said Temari "how are you wounds, are you alri…"
"Get lost" said Gaia uncaring and darkly as she swats the wind mistress into a tree "I don't need your help, I don't need anyone but myself"
Temari grunted as she hit a tree and fell unconscious, Naruto suddenly revealed himself and with his _**Hell Sword **_unsheathed. Gaia slowly turns to see Naruto and starts to grunt in pain while she holds her head and hyperventilates.
"You came" whispers Gaia to Naruto "you came to fight me"
"Our battle is far from over" said Naruto until he hear Gaia's insane giggles
"he he he, battle?" said Gaia in a dark insane tone "no…not battle, this is a hunt"
Gaia's skin starts to crack like an egg, her left eyes is closed due to the overwhelming pain in her head, like she is being controlled.
"Your eyes, you have the same look on your eyes like I do" said Gaia "you discovered the harsh truth that you decide to trust no one and only live alone. And with the purpose to kill those who gets in your way, just like you killed my brother. Yes I can tell as you stink of his blood, you are a beast, a predator, a demon that only hunts and kills to satisfy your lust for blood and vengeance. But the thirst is unquenchable like mine, you want to kill more, hunt more."
Gaia starts to laugh in spite being in pain and her skin cracks more and more that fragments starts falling off and crumbles into sand.
"You don't want a fight, you want a hunt" said Gaia as her eyes widen with intense hysteria and blood veins show around her jade eyes. "I'll give you a hunt, but this time…you…are…my…GRAGH!"
Gaia screams in pain, she tightly closes her eyes as her skin cracks more and more, the sands in her gourd spouts out incontrollable and starts swirling around her like a sandstorm.
"YOU ARE MY….YOU ARE MY….AGHHHHH!" screamed Gaia as half of her body is getting covered by the sands. "Prey…you are my prey...MY PREY!"
The sands wildly wisp around, destroying the trees and converting everything into sand, the area of the forest is turning into a small desert and the trees are drying up and dying as the moisture is getting drained instantly by the sands. Naruto is still on the decaying tree as he witnessed the slow transformation of Gaia in her half-tail form. Her left arm is now a bulking demonic arm of sand with menacing claws and her left side of her face is golden like the sand, half her teeth are sharpen and serrated and a tanuki ear is revealed. Also her left eye has changed also, instead of a pupil less jade one, it is now gold with a four pointed pupil and the sclera is black.
"Now…let the hunt commence" said Gaia darkly and insanely as she glares at Naruto who is not fazed at the sight. Gaia then jumps off the branch before it snaps off and comes at Naruto for the kill. "LET ME FEEL ALIVE!"
BOOM
The tree Naruto is on is now destroyed by the might of Gaia's partially transformed form, but Naruto evaded it in time thanks to the aid of his Doujutsu. Naruto took off his helmet and dispels it into smoke so he can see clearer and reveal his doujutsu shine its silver beauty.
"So this fight is turned into a hunt" said Naruto "very well, I will accept your terms. The victor will be crowned as the top predator in this hunt."
Naruto waits for Gaia to strike again in pure frenzy
CLANG
Naruto's _**Hell Sword **_clashes with Gaia's demonic arm, Naruto performs _**Plasma Jutsu **_to dismember that arm and dash pass Gaia. But the sands caused the arm to regenerate since it's made of sand, Naruto narrowed his eyes as he miscalculated that move.
"it seems I need to cut deeper to make the dismemberment permanent" said Naruto until he saw the sands coming from behind and dodge roll away before they can get to him.
Gaia is breathing deeply and heavily, her right eye is bloodshot and her mouth is drooling while she grit her teeth. She swings her demonic arm at Naruto and he counters the attack by slicing it off with his plasma sword but the sands regenerate it and swat Naruto into a tree. The tree shatters within the crash as all the trees in the area are dried up by the sands. Naruto accidently dropped his _**Hell Sword **_and it sinks into the sand.
_Damn it _thought Naruto with a frown on his face as his weapon is sunk in the sand, then he jumps aside from the swipe attack from Gaia's demonic arm and starts hiding from her. Not of cowardice but to have time to think of a way to stop her.
"WHAT'S THE MATTER?" growled Gaia with a menacing grin on her face "DO I LOOK REPULSIVE TO YOU, DO YOU WINCE IN FEAR BY MY SUDDEN APPEARANCE. DO I LOOK LIKE A BEAST, A MONSTER THAT CRAVES FOR YOUR BLOOD?!"
Gaia starts swatting her demonic arm at the decayed trees to find Naruto
"COME OUT AND FACE ME, I WANT TO FEAST ON YOUR BLOOD?!" roared Gaia as the sands slowly covers her and transforming her. The gourd shatters into sand and forms a long thick tail.
Naruto frowns as he performs handsigns and performs _**Plasma Style: Explosive Homing Plasma Spheres jutsu**_ and they shoot at Gaia's body at blinding speed. Naruto charges at Gaia with _**Plasma Sword Jutsu**_ in his left hand and an extended _**Plasma Shield Jutsu **_on his right arm. He blocks the demonic arm with his plasma shield and slices off Gaia's arm completely off. But the sand covers the bleeding stub and forms a fresh new demonic arm. The severed arm turns to normal and twitching and bleeding before it stops. Gaia swings her demonic arm at Naruto but it was blocked by Naruto's plasma shield and sent him flying back but he lands on the truck and performed _**Plasma Style: Explosive Homing Plasma Sphere Jutsu**_ and sent them flying at Gaia.
Gaia narrow her eyes and summons her sand to block them but she couldn't predict the speed of the projectiles and only blocked a few with her sand while the rest made contact and exploded in her.
BOOM
The sands quickly covers her and forming a second demonic arm and her face is completely covered. She inhales and her arms bulks up with air and points them at Naruto.
"_**Wind Style: Air Cannons!" **_said Gaia as she blast out air from her demonic palms.
Naruto performs hand signs and inhales.
"_**Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu"**_ said Naruto as he exhales and spew out flames to counter Gaia's attack.
The flames engulf the wind and dispel the jutsu, Naruto dashes into the flames with _**Plasma Sword Jutsu **_activated. He fires out _**Explosive Homing Plasma Sphere Jutsu**_ to distract her while he approaches her and he plunged the plasma sword into her stomach where the seal is located.
Gaia grunts in pain and starts to scream as the seal is damaged and causes the Shukaku to seep out.
"AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!" screamed Gaia as she is clutching hold on her head as the sands starts to cover her. Naruto jumps back as he watches her getting engulfed by the sand, her upper body is now formed in a demonic state while her legs remain unchanged. She growls at Naruto and glares at him **"You BASTARD!"**
Naruto jumps down and lands on the sandy floor, he plunge his hand into the sand and pulls out his _**Hell Sword**_, Gaia jumps down and lands on the sand with a rumble. Gaia growls and roars like a beast. The sands around her swirls up and covers her into a sphere-like cocoon, the cocoon pulses like a heart, the beating pulses constantly again and again before the cocoon bursts open and sand spouts out. The sands then form into a giant form of Gaia's transformed state, but the transformation is full and towers a great 50 feet tall. Naruto looks up to the giant beast and saw Gaia, unchanged and missing an arm, rises from the top of the beast's head. Gaia grunts as she clutches on her stump of her left arm still bleeding and glares at Naruto.
"I will not be beaten, I will not disappear from this earth" said Gaia angrily "I refuse, I refuse…I REFUSE TO BE DEFEATED BY THE LIKES OF YOU!"
Gaia controls the giant beast to control the sands and engulf Naruto into it. Naruto looks around sees the sand engulfing him. He perform handsigns and channels his plasma chakra for the jutsu he will use.
"Time to die, _**SAND FUNERAL!" **_shouted Gaia
"_**Plasma style: Explosive Homing Plasma Spheres jutsu"**_ said Naruto as he used a plasma ball to escape from the sands and it exploded. The explosion gave Naruto some burns but they are healing thanks to Kuremi's chakra. He looks up to see the colossal beast with Gaia on top, she growls and summon the sands to catch Naruto. He performs his chakra and channel lightning chakra in his hands. "_**Lightning Style: Nerve Destroyer"**_
Naruto spread out his arms apart and charges toward the sand beast, he reaches the paw and starts climbing up by using his tree walking technique. The sands controlled by Gaia are spouting out to stop Naruto but he dodges them and continues his dash up to the beast's head. Gaia growls as she starts performing handsigns and lower her eyes.
"_**Playing Possum Jutsu" **_said Gaia as she instantly gains unconsciousness, with her unconscious the Shukaku fully gains control and possesses the sand beast.
"**YAHOOO, FREEEDOM AT LAST!" **roared Shukaku with joy **"TIME FOR SOME CHAOOOOOSSSSS HA HA HA HA!"**
Shukaku looks down on his leg to see Naruto running up with his hands channeling with lightning chakra. The one tailed demon narrowed his eyes and smirks at the new Overlord.
"**Heh, I got a flea on me" **said Shukaku as he move his tail **"Time to scratch it off"**
Shukaku uses his tail to swat Naruto off but missed as he lands on the tail and runs up on it, the Shukaku growls with annoyance as he starts shaking his tail wildly to knock Naruto off it. And by doing so, trees and boulders are swatted off and creating an empty patch of nothingness. Naruto is still on the Shukaku's tail and is near the back. Naruto reaches the back and runs up it, Shukaku uses his tail again to crush Naruto with it, but Naruto is too fast as he dodges it and jumps onto the demon's shoulder, Shukaku moves his hand and slams it on his shoulder but Naruto is on his hand and runs onto the arm. Shukaku growls with annoyance as he use his other hand to swipe Naruto off but failed as Naruto jumps off and lands on the demon's chest and near the neck. Naruto runs around the neck and right on the cheek, he is close to Gaia and stretches out his fingers to strike.
_Almost there _thought Naruto as he is by the Shukaku's eye who is looking at him.
Naruto is at the top and near Gaia, Naruto reach out his hand to grab Gaia's wrist but the sands caught him and restrains him from touching Gaia. Naruto grunts in resistance and reaches out to grab Gaia, he fights off the restraint of the sand and his fingers nearly touching Gaia's hand. He growls as he pushes furthers and his fingers slightly touched Gaia's hand. The lightning chakra channelled into her body and courses into her nervous system, the sensation forces Gaia to wake up with a scream as the electricity is electrocuting her and is feeling every nevre on her body, her limbs and internal organs shuting down besides the brain, heart and lungs.
"**No, NONONONONONONONONONOOOOOOO, I JUST WOKE UPP!" **roared Shukaku as he returns into his jail within Gaia. Gaia is now immobilized and the sand beast starts to crumble into sand and collapsing. Naruto is free and grabs Gaia so that he can escape down safely since he is 50 feet high in the sky. He skis down from the pouring sand and slides down into the ground with a hard rolling land. Gaia also rolled hard on the ground and ironically cannot feel any pain as her nerves are shut down and unable to move. She turns her eyes to Naruto who is standing up, she tries to move but unable to. This makes her feel vulnerable; unable to defend herself frightens her. She is starting to hyperventilate and she is getting desperate as she watches Naruto slowly approaching her.
"No…stay away" plead Gaia
"So you are letting fear overwhelm you and you are desperate to live" said Naruto
"P-Please, I don't want to die" said Gaia "I don't want to die"
"We all have to die someday" said Naruto darkly. "That is the way of life and in nature, only the strong survives and weak perish; this world is only built for predators. The prey has no chance of surviving; they are only there to be feasted on by the beast that hunts them. Today I am that beast and I just hunted you, Gaia no Subaku, Jinchuriki of Ichibi no Shukaku"
Naruto pulls out his _**Hell Sword**_, Gaia widen her eyes as she is about to die by the hands of Naruto Uzumaki. She can't do anything, what will she do.
What will she do?
**End of Chapter 12**
