Night Predator

Chapter 21 – The Beginning of the End

"If your careless we'll all be blown up." Six said as he kept his eyes fixed on Tsunade.

"Its always like you Six, plans within plans. I'm wondering how long you've had that sitting waiting there." Tsunade said in calm voice as she looked down at the cabernet, she could see the nuke and secretly her heart jumped at the sight.

"It's been their since I stole it from the army base...The Uchiha should check his office more often." Six said as he shrugged his shoulders at the absent-mindedly of Fugaku.

As Fugaku pulled a bag up from its hiding place he opened it and found inside a set of syringes, six in total.

"Now if you would be so kind as to give one of those to 683...I mean Minato. And take one yourself, half a syringe will be enough." Six said as he shifted the guns he were holding slightly.

"Half a syringe?" Minato asked as he was passed the syringe and looked at it.

"Of Blood, marrow would be better but I could hardly harvest that without killing you...And I finding killing a fellow subject rather distasteful." Six said as he watched Fugaku use the syringe, the crimson liquid filling the glass.

Minato hesitated until he watched Six press a gun against his wife side, he rammed the needle into his neck and filled the syringe cringing at the feeling an all too familiar feeling.

"Good now set them down on the table...Two down four to go. Now my dear if you would be so kind." Six smiled at Tsunade as she glared at him.

"Why in the world would I help you Six?" Tsunade said a smile crossing her face as she realised all too late what Six had in mind. It happened to fast for the human eye to catch but Six leapt across the room so fast that when anyone could react he was already in a new safe position, holding Tsunade with one hand and driving a syringe into her neck his guns having been dropped to the floor.

As the syringe filled with blood Naruto saw that it was a pale blood colour that glowed slightly, Fugaku and Minato were too busy picking their weapons up to notice. Sasuke and Itachi had also managed to grab a hold of their weapons. Now four guns were pointing at Six who had let Tsunade drop to the floor, clutching at her neck which was still oozing blood from the puncher of the needle.

"Hand up now!" Sasuke cried with venom.

"Now then four guns, four men..." Six didn't get a chance to finish before Sasuke shot him, the bullet turning his head into a mess of blood and bone.

Sasuke was smirking as the punch hit him square in the jaw, Naruto was about to land another one when somebody caught his arm.

"Temper, temper 'Fox'." Naruto turned and would have cried out at the sight of Six's face, the bullet having tore it apart. However slowly it started to regrow as the muscle reformed and flesh grew over the muscles. In moments it had repaired itself and the man's grin at Sasuke's look of horror only widened even more as Sasuke passed out.

"Now then..." Six pulled something out of his pocket it was the detonator for the nuke.

"This button will wipe this city from the face of the earth...Any more resistance and we all go sky high."

"Now then Little 'Fox' take a syringe and fill it with his blood." Six indicated Sasuke with a finger.

Naruto did as he was asked and filled the syringe, the voice's inside his head cried for him not to do it, cried for him to refuse...

"Now, yourself..." Six handed Naruto another syringe to the blond, keeping one hand holding the detonator.

As Naruto watched his own blood fill the syringe he felt slightly scared, as if his life entirely was contained in the vial.

"Strange isn't it to see your own blood, your life force in your hand, the power of life held in your hand. Filled with the virus, swimming with stolen knowledge. Tell me Tsunade how long have you been pumping the virus into the cities water supply, I've been busy killing off infected in the city for years now." Six said as he took the syringe and rolled it in his hand.

"So you know about the water supply, It's been instrumental for the development of the virus." Tsunade said as she looked shocked at just how much knew, it was true that for the past twenty years she'd used the cities inhabitants as test subjects. Perfecting her virus even more...Allowing her to remain youthful.

"Well I can say that Madara would be proud to know his virus was doing so well, if his brains hadn't been splattered across the labs walls." Six said as he put a hand out and the other other syringes were handed too him.

"Now lets see here, something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue...Where have I herd that before... Now for the final ingredient to this mix. It took six to make the virus and it will take six to create the cure. My blood will be the last." Six said as he used the last syringe on himself, as Naruto watched the blood flow into the vial he saw that the blood looked wrong. It was coagulated and looked too dark...

After he'd finished he pulled the syringe away and in a flash he'd raced over to the nuke in the table , Naruto didn't see what happened next but when Six pulled the nuke up he saw that the crimson blood had been injected into a vial on the side...

"Time to end this nightmare."
