Naruto and Zandaka just stood across from each other. The crowd was going wild. The arena was packed and there was even people stand outside just in hopes of getting a glimpse of what would happen. The referee called the match and Naruto and Zandaka paused for a moment to take it all in.
"Naruto. I'm going to tell you right now. Release the Kyubi." Zandaka's word surprised everyone. Tsunade was surprised he would know about it and Yoho was surprised he was so blunt about.
'How does he know?' Naruto wondered. There was no denying it though. "I'm going to fight without using it!" Naruto proudly exclaimed.
"Then I'll make you use it!" Zandaka was crazy with excitement. "Earth Release: Running Tower Jutsu." Zandaka put his hand to the ground and stone towers started emerging. Naruto was able to dodge them but was backed against a wall. "Earth Release: Steel Shackle Jutsu." Steel shackles came out of the wall and held Naruto in place. Naruto struggled but to no avail. "The only thing that is going to help you out of that is the Kyubi. Release it Naruto! Embrace your demon!"
'He is really going to do it. I can't believe he'd actually go this far.' Koi was surprised. He hoped at the last minute Zandaka would change his mind but apparently he wasn't. All the small changes he made over the past two weeks were gone.
Zandaka looked Naruto right in the eyes. "I guess I'll just have to use a forbidden technique. Summoning: Stolen Body Jutsu!" Zandaka put his hand to the ground and the arena started to quake. Naruto watched as a black coffin rose from the ground. It was covered in chains and locks. Red skulls covered it and there were disturbing pictures painted all along the sides.
"What is that?" Naruto asked having never even heard of this jutsu before.
"It's an old friend." Zandaka grinned and broke the locks. "Say hi Naruto."
The lid slowly lifted and Naruto was surprise by what he saw. From the coffin arose a face Naruto was familiar with. "Sasuke!"
Sasuke sat up and looked at Naruto. "Naruto! How did I…?" Zandaka cut off Sasuke's words. He grabbed Sasuke by the neck and threw him up against the wall. Zandaka then pinned Sasuke to the wall with two extra long kunai. Sasuke screamed in pain.
"Release the Kyubi Naruto!" Zandaka warned.
"No!" Naruto said stubbornly. He struggled to get out, to save Sasuke but to no avail.
"Fine." Zandaka said. Zandaka punched Sasuke in the face and then in the stomach. Sasuke started to cough up blood. Zandaka then slashed him in a couple of non-vital area's to ensure he suffered.
"Just release it you idiot! Save me!" Sasuke yelled to Naruto. He coughed again and more blood came up. Naruto was unsure of what to do. He wanted to save Sasuke. He wondered how the crowd could let this kind of slaughter go on.
"Listen to him Naruto." Zandaka looked over and saw Naruto struggling.
'What should I do?' Naruto thought unsure of the consequences of releasing the Kyubi. 'He wouldn't actually kill Sasuke, would he?'
"I guess I'll just have to push you a bit further. Summoning: Stolen Body Jutsu." Another coffin arose from the ground and Zandaka broke the locks. This time Sakura was the one to emerge from the coffin.
"Naruto! How did I get here?" Sakura turned to see Zandaka grab her. He threw her against the wall and continued to pin her to it.
Zandaka punch Sakura and her screams reached Naruto. "Help us!" Sasuke screamed.
Naruto looked up and saw Zandaka was beating Sakura. Slowly the Kyubi started to form inside of him. "Naruto save my love Sasuke! Save him for me!" Sakura screamed.
"I guess you don't love your friends that much." Zandaka withdrew two kunai and went to stab both Sasuke and Sakura in the throat. However his hand was stopped and when he looked behind him Naruto was in Kyubi form. "Perfect." Zandaka said. Naruto threw Zandaka across the arena and turned to see his friends dissolve.
The crowd looked on confused as to why Naruto was screaming. What was going on that they couldn't see? Some of them figured out that it was genjutsu and that Naruto was being fooled. Suddenly Naruto ripped away from his shackles and brutally attacked Zandaka. Naruto turned to look at a blank wall.
"That's it Naruto! Release the Kyubi! Show me your demon!" Zandaka screamed.
Yamato put his hand out to suppress the Kyubi but Tsunade stopped him. "Wait! I want to see why he is doing this."
"Tsunade there is something I have too tell you." Yoho said to his old friend. He loved his son but he couldn't let this go on any longer.
"Can this wait?" Tsunade was engaged in the match at hand and was unsure if Yoho's secret pertained to it or not.
"No it cannot." Tsunade looked over saw Yoho's face. For the first time since they were reunited it looked heavy. Looked as if it held the burdens of the world. The next words to come out of his mouth surprised Tsunade more then anything.
"This isn't good." Koi said to Kesseki. "We've got to get everyone out of the arena."
"Start opening the exits. I'll get some help." Kesseki ran and found Neji. "I need your help. Don't ask why but I need you to help me open all the exits." Neji was unsure of what was going on but the seriousness in Kesseki's voice alerted him. Neji rounded up the rest of the leaf shinobi and they started opening all the exits.
"Come on Naruto that's only three tails. Bring out four! Or do you want to see what I would do to Sakura again!" Zandaka proudly acclaimed.
"How dare you say her name!" Naruto was angry and nothing would stop him. Naruto fell to his knees and shook. He found himself standing before the Kyubi.
"Release me Naruto. I feel a strange chakra about. Bring me fourth!" Naruto rose to his feet and four tails were released. The only thing that saved the spectators from harm was the arena's massive size. Still people in the front row that were not fast enough were injured. Kesseki and Lee moved at a breakneck pace to save them.
"Yes Naruto that's it! Show me your demon!" A strong wind blew through the arena. People started to panic and some started to leave.
"Come on this way!" Kiba yelled directing people which way to the exit. The cloud and leaf shinobi worked together to evacuate those who wished to exist.
In the hospital Kariru watched the arena. Suddenly there was an explosion of chakra vision to the naked eye. "That must be Naruto. Guess Zandaka's next."
"Now Naruto there is something I would like to show you." Zandaka ripped off his shirt and jacket. Zandaka showed Naruto the markings on his back. "You're not alone Naruto. You and I are a lot alike." Zandaka got onto all four and closed his eyes. When he opened them again they were cat like and red.
"My son contains the seven tailed beast! He is a Jinchuuriki." Yoho was ashamed that he had kept such a secret. The other Kage all listened.
"I thought the only tailed beast that was sealed in Kumo was the two tails?" Tsunade asked confused.
"She was. My village didn't seal his beast. He sealed his own."
