Agent of Hell

Chapter 14

-I own nothing-

-oXo-

"Gaara of Suna Vs... Lee of Konoha,"

The two made their way down to lower floor where they would fight, Lee choosing to leap over the rails while the red head walked down the steps, glancing at her master who stood next to the Hokage.

Break him

She blinked, had she really heard that? Was she hearing things? No one else seemed to hear that and she hadn't seen his lips move at all, only a slight narrowing of his eyes. The Tanuki hadn't spoken since her master claimed her as his and stopped tormenting her all the time to murder people.

The man stood between them and raised his arm before swiping it in a downward arc, calling out for them to start before leaping back.

Lee got into his stance as the cork on her gourd crumbled into sand, falling into the gourd with the rest of it before it all started streaming out and pooling around her.

The energetic boy sped towards her after saying something about youth and string together a vicious combo of punches and kicks, only for the sand to gain a life of it's own, jumping up to block every strike with ease. This continued for a while, Lee trying his best to strike the girl from every side as she just stood there, trying to track his quick movements.

She had to admit, he was fast, so fast that she could only see him just before he struck, luckily for her that her demon was able to sense him.

Suddenly, the sand shifted to block a strike from the rear but a fist appeared a foot away from her face.

Lee faked the attack from the back and sped to strike her front.

Gaara blinked and just inches before he hit, the sand caught him in a iron-like grip around his wrist.

The leaf ninjas who knew about his speed gasped, shocked that the sand had caught him.

Lee cried out as the sand twisted his arm before a whole wave of it slammed into his front like a massive hammer, sending his body tumbling back while a few drops of blood from his now busted lip hit the floor.

The sand shifted to soak it up, "The sand wants your blood," she stated in a icy cold tone, much like Naruto's own.

Gai yelled out to Lee that he could take his weights off and the match took a turn in Lee's favor.

Naruto watched, thinking of the irony of this match. Lee was Gai's student and by the looks of it, his clone while Gaara was his pet and somewhat of a student, Ironic that the two would fight just like he and Gai had... although, he never had the trouble that Gaara seemed to be having.

Those weights that Lee had on weighed more than they looked and with the burden lifted, his speed doubled, he was barely a blur and even the sand had a hard time keeping up.

The sound of fist meeting flesh rang out and he saw Gaara's feet leave the ground,

"Impressive... for pure muscle," he spoke as Gaara was knocked around like a pinball by Lee, sent higher and higher before the bandages around Lee's arms wrapped themselves around the girl,

The pair plummeted to the ground and seconds before impact, Lee jumped away and Gaara collided head first into the stone floor, kicking up dirt and stone.

Lee huffed and waited, by the look on his face he was feeling guilty, thinking that he had killed the girl.

Hayate stepped forward, "Winner..."

But before he could finish, a large ninja star flew from the smoke cloud, spinning so fast that it sounded like a huge ban saw.

Lee had to jump to the ground as it was aimed at his chest and everyone watched in awe as it impacted on the wall, exploding into sand after cutting a large gorge into the wall

The smoke cleared and they saw the red head standing there in a pile of sand with her gourd missing and a demonic grin on her face.

"I can feel it..." she chuckled insanely, "This power... it's his,"

Naruto cocked his head to the side and wore a small, unnoticeable grin. 'So the mark had awakened... interesting,'

The mark he used on her was different from what he used on Anko or Yugao, Anko only needed the mark and Yugao sold her soul to him, Gaara was a full human and the ritual implanted a bit of his own devil chakra in her, much like Orochimaru's little curse mark. It would connect them but unlike the stupid human, it didn't split his soul into smaller pieces, His devil powers would connect them and he would always be able to tel where she was if he wanted, It also gave her a large boost in case her life was threatened. It was temporary but unlike demonic chakra, his devil chakra wouldn't burn her skin off while healing it at the same time. It wasn't perfect though, while it sounded unbeatable there were drawbacks, a humans chakra system wasn't meant to channel the devilish power so much of the power was wasted and once it started you kept on until the chakra ran out or your attacker was dead,

Lee took a few steps back as he got over the shock of what he was seeing but it was for naught, Faster than he could blink, Gaara vanished and appeared behind him with her fist already in flight.

Lee's skull made a loud smacking sound as she nailed him hard enough to crush the stone beneath him, breaking his nose and possibly even his skull or giving him brain damage.

The girl kicked him over so that he was on his back and before anyone could stop her she had straddled his gut and was wildly punching him over and over in the face while screaming like a wild beast.

"STOP IT!" Hayate yelled as he tried to break them apart and save the boys life,

But Gai had beat him to it and tried to pull the red head off his student, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her back only for her to elbow him in the jaw, forcing him to release her just as she sensed another presence. The girl turned, swinging her fist at the person only for it to be caught in the vice-like grip of Naruto.

"That is enough,"

The voice of her master cut though the haze of rage like a razor blade through cloth and to the amazement of her sensei and family, she calmed down instantly.

"Your match is over, you won. Now calm yourself and return to your team,"

She looked at the unmoving teen she had just beaten then back at Naruto before turning and doing as she was told, Stopping just long enough for her gourd to reform and fill back up before walking up the steps and standing near her team.

Naruto looked at Lee who was being lifted onto a stretcher by a few medics, careful as not to hurt him any more or move his neck incase it was broken. Gai looked worried and angry but Lee had signed a waver and knew the risks, Hayate had made sure that they knew killing your opponent was allowed but frowned upon, even then it was only if they refused to give up, once they were out cold your match was over. The only thing that saved Gaara from any possible trouble was that no one knew it Lee when Lee lost consciousness as it had all happened so fast.

He vanished and retook his place beside the Hokage as the board on the wall flashed the final two names. Stopping first on the girl from Iwa who had broken his door and a Kumo ninja.

Sadly for the poor Kumo nin, the Iwa girl humiliated him by beating him over the head and breaking his legs within the first minute for calling her sexually confused because she had some muscles.

So after being carried out of the room with his legs twisted and bent so that his toes touched his hips, the genin were gathered and told to pick from a box that held a number for each person. The remaining ninjas found themselves hoping that they didn't have to face that sand girl after what they saw her do.

Hayate recorded the numbers and announced the names before telling them to meet at the stadium, the same one that Naruto fought in against the jounin senseis.

So with the Genin leaving the tower arena, the Hokage dismissed Naruto and Kyuu, telling them that he would be returning to his office to catch up on his paperwork. then muttering about the damned able things fornicating on his desk and reproducing just to mock him.

All questions of insanity due to age aside, Naruto and Kyuu left the tower.

"Return to the old man and keep up appearances as his guard," Naruto ordered the fox as they walked, "I want to hear about anything worthwhile you find out while there,"

Kyuubi nodded, "Yes master,"

"Good, now run along my pet, I have a soul to claim and another tool to add to my collection."

In Konoha's shinobi hospital, doctors and nurses worked nonstop trying to mend and fix the shattered bones and spine of Rock Lee.

He had come in a limp mass and as time went on things were getting grimmer and grimmer. The boy's spine was badly broken and his days as a ninja were over... in fact his days of walking and quite possibly ever using his arms were over, if he even woke up at all.

Besides his broken back and shattered dreams, scans told the ninja doctors that his brain had taken a massive beating and parts of his skull were fractured.

After a few hours, they were starting to lose hope saying that it would take a miracle.

(Inside Lee's Mind)

Lee looked at the cloaked man with wide eyes.

"Greetings Mr. Lee... you may call the... the Benefactor,"

-X-

A few hours later Naruto was walking away from the hospital with a smirk on his face, humans were so easy to twist. Just like how he had Ayame break dates with her boyfriend, lying about something that only a fool would believe to be true before coming to him.

Speaking of her, Naruto had the sudden craving for ramen and vanished to go get some... guess somethings never change.

Arriving in moments, Naruto sat down and saw a guy around the same age as Ayame flirting with said ramen waitress. He was a thin man with brown hair like hers and green eyes, he also wore a promise ring on his hand just like here.

"Oh Shuji," she giggled, "You know I'm saving myself for marriage,"

Naruto gave a dark grin that went unnoticed by them. Both he and the girl both knew what a load of shit that was but she had the fool wrapped around her finger just as tight as he had her around his. The only thing that kept him from ordering her to crush the fools heart was the amusement he got from watching how she would lie to her boyfriends face about marriage and being a virgin then turning around and bouncing on her masters cock for hours.

Love was a powerful tool and a deadly weakness.

She turned to Naruto, telling Shuji to hold on a minute before walking over, "Hi Naru-chan!" she greeted.

"Hey Onee-chan, I'd like my usual... hold the... desert," he smirked as she nodded with a light blush, knowing what he was talking about.

Luckily her boyfriend was on the other end of the bar and wasn't able to see it as she turned quickly and called to her father that Naruto wanted his usual order.

The old man looked over the back window where he would pass the bowls through and smiled at the blond, as they had met and caught up a while ago.

He returned the smile and Ayame went back to her boyfriend, sparing her master a quick look as she passed.

"So we still on for this weekend?" he asked with a smile.

The girl made a show of thinking it over, "This weekend is ok, but I'm going to be busy studying till friday, I have a test to take then and I have to pass."

That excuse was new...

The man's watch made a small beeping noise.

"Dang I'm almost late for work," he muttered.

The two shared a quick goodbye and he bolted down the road, leaving Naruto the only person at the stand besides the two cooks.

"A test?" he chuckled as she leaned on the counter next to him, "He honestly believed that?

"What do you mean?" she asked innocently with a hidden smile.

"Onee-chan, Onee-chan, Onee-chan, when will you learn that I can easily tell when you are lying? Besides I know that school has been canceled for the next month for anyone high school and up, your collage classes included."

She smiled, "Well why would I need him when I have you?" she whispered as not to let her father hear.

"Well said my little chief... well said,"

The ramen soon arrived and the two made small talk while the blond ate. Then he stopped, the aura! The holy aura from that... thing had suddenly vanished, he couldn't even sense any or were it was now.

He had made a grave mistake, at first he had thought that it was a trap or some overpowered fool who couldn't control it's own aura. But with the sudden disappearance of what had become an almost daily thing he knew that it was only one angel or something. If he had to guess from the stories and things he had learned in hell it had to have been one of the Hellguard, a special elite unit of angels whom were like the ANBU of holy beings. As no normal angel would've been able to pump out all that aura for so long then suddenly suppress it.

This warranted some investigation and luckily for him he was in the perfect position to have a team sent out to look for anything suspicious, not that he truly expected the humans to find anything, he'd have to send one of his own pets out with them as his power inside them would allow them to see things that others wouldn't be capable of.

Finishing up his ramen, Naruto dropped a few yen notes on the counter then vanished.

-X-

Hiruzen was always glad for a distraction from his paperwork but what Naruto had just told him bordered the line between a welcome distraction and more work. Apparently a radical being was trying to hunt him down, most likely an angel who wanted nothing more than to see him burning back in hell or completely destroyed.

Now the old man knew that about religion and all. As the Hokage he knew about a lot of the goings on of his village and didn't get through his life being ignorant to the views and lifestyles of others.

But Naruto was a good person despite what had happened to him as a child, he was also a ninja of his village and as such, he would do what he could to help the blond. Including sending Yugao and her squad out to check out the direction in which he had last sensed the being. He had already stated that whatever it was would probably be gone but the old man just nodded, saying that even though they might not find it, they may find clues or something.

The old man sent an ANBU messenger to go find the squad leader and turned to Naruto, "So your going to be fighting in the tournament,"

It wasn't a question as the blond had made the fact clear weeks ago.

Naruto nodded.

"Well I hear that the villages participating are going to be sending some of there best, even a few other minor hidden villages have requested a spot to join in on the tournament."

"Of course they would, this is a great time to advertise their villages skills, even if they don't get far they could still empress some important people." Naruto mused. "So am I representing Konoha alone or is someone else fighting?"

"I've been approached by a lot of jounin who want to join but each village has agreed that only a maximum of 6 ninjas can enter to fight for there respective homes."

"So have you chosen the other five yet?"

The Hokage paused to pick up a list, "Well aside from you, I haven't been able to decide, Gai and Kakashi wanted to join, so did Anko and a few others along with a couple ANBU. I haven't really went through and chose yet,"

"Well good luck with that, but on a different note I'd like to request a few missions... preferably a bandit extermination for my... summons."

Hiruzen blinked, "What?"

"My summons have a taste for blood and love the thrill of a hunt., as I told you before they are the perfect hunters and as there summoner they will obey me or else, besides it's high time those bandit camps are... removed."

With a small nod, Hiruzen pulled an A-ranked mission scroll out and handed it to the blond.

"Thanks old man, you've made a little nightwalker very happy," he said with a smirk before leaving.
