Chapter Fourteen: Godaime's Words

Naruto, unfazed, calmly stood on his ground as Neji blindly charged at him. "So careless, the Hyuuga Clan…" he murmured. "Soon to be extinct, I'm afraid."

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Neji roared.

Naruto sighed, and finger-punched Neji into Tsunade, forcing both to crash to the ground.

"Do you see? I am Akatsuki's best member, though I haven't the type of mind as a strategist. That's why the leader is leader."

"Do I care?! You fucking murdered my cousin!"

Naruto blurred his hands and yelled, "Katon: Shinsei Fushicho Hi Katana (Fire Style: Sacred Phoenix Fire Sword)!"

A phoenix appeared from out of the blue and transformed into a golden, phoenix-crested sword. Flames burst out from the sword and blazed its glory.

Neji gasped when he saw the sword, but it was too late to stop. Naruto plunged the sword deep into Neji's chest, burying the blade into his heart.

"NO!" Tsunade screamed, horrified.

Neji's eyes were blank as he fell, forever etched with shock and hatred. Perhaps he met everybody else in hell…

"The transvestite…is dead," Naruto announced, retracting the sword.

"Now all that is left…is the Legendary Sucker, the Konoha senseis, and the rookies," said Itachi.

"Shut up!" Tsunade yelled.

She stormed forward and thrust her finger at Naruto. Naruto grabbed her hand and said, "Watch where you're pointing, you hag."

Tsunade was enraged by this comment and punched the younger man across the ruins. Naruto smirked and landed with the grace of a leopard.

Both blondes glared at each other. "You…damn traitor," huffed Tsunade.

"Traitor? Look who's talking!" snorted Naruto.

Tsunade said, "Why can't you be the same twelve year old boy you were ten years ago?"

"I'll never change," Naruto answered firmly. "I'm as good as ice."

Lee stepped forward and yelled loudly, "That doesn't mean your flames of youth should be encased in a heart of bitterness! Let your heart shine brightly!"

"Shut up, you horrible spandex-wearing freak," said Naruto.

TenTen wore a look similar to how one would look with bulging eyes.

Lee was shocked. "How can you say I'm a spandex-wearing freak? This suit is a sign of my youth!"

"Whatever," said Naruto.

"Then I shall force myself to use the Lotus!" Lee cried.

"Shut the fuck up already," said Naruto.

Lee started to unwrap the bandages, but Gai shouted, "Lee! Do not use that technique!"

"But…"

"Naruto! No more killing! Please!" Tsunade begged.

"It's too late, you old hag," Naruto said. "Just admit it."

Godaime changed. Her expression grew cold and barren. She spoke quietly, hate replacing her pleading eyes, "So, you'll never change, will you?"

"No. Not after what this village has done to me, do you think I would still protect it?"

"I hate those who do not care for others," Tsunade said. "You reminded me of my boyfriend and my little brother…both wanted to become the Hokage. But they didn't change like you. They both died."

"My dream was crushed the moment I was driven from here…I decided to come back, with a fake smile on. I hate the likes of this village, but it is no more than few shinobi left. Look! The villagers are all dead now."

"Goddamn it, Naruto, can't you understand?! I want you back!" screamed Tsunade, unable to withhold the truth any longer.

"You're the only one, then," Naruto, murmured. "Sasuke and I were rivals, Sakura haed me, Ino hated me, Hinata was stupid and frail, and she loved me. But I hate weaklings. Suna is different. They accept me there, which I have protected in return."

Lee, who couldn't bear watching Naruto speak the truth any longer, threw himself at the blonde. "No, Lee!" Gai yelled, rushing after his favorite student, but wasn't in time.

Naruto watched as Lee hurtled furiously at him. When he got close, Naruto punched a hole through the green beast's chest. Blood gushed out and Lee crumbled to the ground with a thud.

He turned to TenTen and the running Gai. Naruto leaped out of the way as Gai tried to use the Konoha Senpuu (Leaf's Whirlwind Kick) on him. He used the Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) to get behind Gai and whack him in the head.

"Gai-sensei!" TenTen cried.

Naruto flung a shuriken at her. TenTen used her weapons scroll to deflect and attack. Naruto pulled out a folded demon shuriken and opened it up. Inside each blade was a senbon needle.

Naruto took out the senbon and threw the shuriken at her. She dodged it, but didn't see the four senbon coming.

Two punctured her neck and two punctured her vital points. TenTen fell, dead, surprised look frozen on her face.

Tsunade couldn't take it anymore. Her eyes were wide and she was trembling as blood entered her vision.

"Naruto…s-stop it. W-w-why?" she quivered, in fear of the crimson liquid staining the ground.

"Because it is necessary," he said.

Tsunade snapped at last. "SCREW YOU, YOU DAMN RETARD! I HATE YOU! GO AWAY! FUCK YOUR ENORMOUSLY DARK EGO! GET OUT OF MY SIGHT! NOW!"

Naruto chuckled bitterly. "And leave you alive? I think not," he said.

Tsunade stormed at him and grabbed his neck. "I SWEAR I WILL SUFFOCATE YOU IF YOU SAY ONE MORE WORD," she threatened.

"Go ahead, I won't die," said Naruto.

Tsunade took a deep breath and, with her enormous strength, crushed Naruto's throat. "Too slow, old hag," said Naruto's voice.

The Naruto she crushed turned into water. "Water clone!" she gasped. "Shit!"

Naruto grabbed her throat and put a sharp kunai against it. "Game over," he said.

Tsunade clenched her jaws together and forcefully punched Naruto's arm. He swore colorfully and socked Tsunade in the gut. Coughing, she forced herself up.

Naruto jammed his heel into her midsection, knocking the air from her lungs as she hailed the ground with scarlet blood.

She hurled. Tsunade shakily stood up and summoned Kazuya, the slug. "H-help me," she coughed.

"Tsunade-sama!" cried the slug.

"A slug? Pathetic!" Naruto laughed.

"Who're you calling pathetic, you arrogant, bratty, little, wormy fox?!" shrieked Kazuya.

"I didn't hate you, Tsunade, or Neji, Hinata, Sakura, Sasuke, Lee, TenTen, or anyone. But that changed because they turned against me," said Naruto.

He slowly advanced on the shaking Tsunade and the large slug.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)!" Naruto yelled, slamming his palm on the ground after biting his thumb.

Three foxes appeared and asked, "Naruto-sama, what now?"

"Kitsune, Butakai, Kitzuki…rip these people to shreds while I play with Godaime and the slug."

"Yes, Naruto-sama!" they chorused. For all know that these foxes were the human-eating kind.

"Fuck!" cursed the remaining members of the Rookie Nine.

The foxes rushed through the crowd, ripping and tearing apart all the human flesh in reach.

All the while, Tsunade stared at the dying shinobi as Naruto let out an evil laugh that just might be his last.
