"This isn't good…" Naruto mumbled as he kicked a pebble ahead of him as we continued our route to Konoha. "Akuma runs off, when she is another part of Kyuubi once again…" Naruto groaned.
"It seems odd that she took off like that… I don't quite understand what happened." I rolled my eyes.
"Naruto… Akuma gained traits from each of us… we will just have to figure out what she got from each of us on our own. Itachi can't help; he is busy playing a role in this war." Naruto groaned again.
"I know! It's just… I don't want to believe what my eyes saw…" I nodded in agreement. "For now let us find a spot to hide at then try to think of some traits that she could have possibly gained."
Naruto sighed before facing me. "Ne… didn't you have a spot you hid at before; when you were with Orochimaru?" I stopped walking then fully faced Naruto.
"I completely forgot about that place…" I switched my path, allowing Naruto to follow me. "I guess while we are en-route to this place, we can try to list some traits."
Naruto nodded. "Let's see… negative memories or thoughts… well there is always what happened during my childhood in Konoha. I was always neglected and pushed away, only being seen as a demon. I played pranks on the villagers…"
"Wait Naruto…" He raised his brow to me. "What if Akuma didn't gain any negative traits from you because you are literally her flesh and blood?"
"What do you mean?" I shook my head at him. "Think about it… She has already shown something related to Itachi… She believes she is a spy and in the Akatsuki."
"I really don't understand what you are trying to get at… I am starving…" I sighed. Why did I ever think I could explain something like this to him? I was better off talking to Kyuubi instead.
"Hey Sasuke, do you have and f-" My eyes went wide as I watched Naruto fly, crashing into several trees.
I quickly turned to see a black cloak bolt past me, towards Naruto. "Akuma wait!" Instantly, she stopped, then faced me.
"What are you doing?" I asked. She stood up straight, then pulled down the hood of her cloak. She did look the same as before, but her eyes were more… blood-thirsty.
"I have come to kill Uzumaki Naruto for the crimes he has committed. I will also set you free from his demonic grasps."
"Wait Akuma; please tell me everything you know." She stared at me.
"Why?" She simply asked. "Because, Akuma, I want to know what is present, what is now."
"I am a member of Akatsuki; I have been for 10 years now." That was how many years Itachi was in the Akatsuki…
"Within me, is the Kyuubi. A part of his chakra was sealed into me by my father." That is Naruto's and Akuma's shared memory…
"I am an ANBU of Konoha. I was in charge of killing Uzumaki Naruto, but failed." That… is a mix of memories? This one I am not even sure…
"Naruto killed my family. For that, I seek revenge against him, finally coming to terms with my failed mission." Oh fuck, that is mine.
"Akuma listen! Your memories have been tampered with!" Akuma stared at me before turning away.
"Naruto will pay for using people as his tools. If I don't hurry now, you will be disposed of soon…" She bolted off in the direction Naruto landed.
"Damn it!" I had to stop her before she does something she will regret. But what could I do? Akuma was always strong, even if Kyuubi and her said otherwise. With her mixed memories, she won't hold back…
If she is still a clone, then she could easily be released… but the grail is gone… what can we do? I growled in frustration.
Akuma's POV
"Akuma wait! I'm not sure why you have a sudden urge to kill me but please listen to me!" I dived again at Naruto, who quickly held up his kunai to block my attack.
"You killed my family! Now… now I am completing my mission that I failed to do years ago! To kill you!" I swept my foot under him, causing him to stumble backwards before he caught himself.
"Why would I kill our family? I don't understand!"
"Tch… you wouldn't understand, would you? You are just a blood thirsty demon!" I once again dived for him, only for his kunai to knock mine plus his out of our hands.
I glared at Naruto as my body was slowly engulfed by a very dark, sinister chakra. It appeared that Kyuubi was on my side. I smirked.
I bit my thumb, letting the drops of blood fall next to me before I smeared it onto my skin. I ignored the pain as I summoned a small Kyuubi out, giving him four tails.
Kyuubi must have been angry at Naruto himself, seeing as his body was surrounded with a dark red chakra that was mixed with black in random places. His fur itself was spiked out slightly, but waving as if it was fire.
"K-Kyuubi?" Naruto stuttered out before shaking his head. "No! That can't be Kyuubi… It can't be…"
"Shut it you vermin!" Kyuubi hissed out as he lunged for Naruto. I reached into my pouch to pull out a kunai but found that my pouch was empty. Did I really only leave with one kunai?
I reached into my shuriken pouch but found that it too was empty. I glanced up at the pouch on Naruto. I would just have to steal a kunai from him then.
I bolted to Naruto, throwing some punches and kicks while Kyuubi threw in some of his own attacks. Naruto tried to dodge every hit, but was mainly failing.
I jumped away when I noticed a familiar set of eyes. "Sage mode? Hah I can do that too." I said, activating sage mode. I could feel Kyuubi's chakra interfering with it, but it wasn't in a bad way. No, I felt stronger.
I lunged for Naruto, who dodged just in time, leaving me to form a crater from my punch.
"Akuma! You have to stop and understand!" I turned slightly to see Sasuke running up to me. I sent a gust of air towards him before letting Kyuubi seal him inside a dome.
"You sit tight while I free you from this vermin's grasp."
"Sasuke! Look at Kyuubi and tell me if you see what I see!" Naruto shouted, before dodging an attack from me.
"I am getting sick and tired of your damn mouth." I growled out, reaching into Naruto's pouch for a kunai.
"Wait Akuma! Please let me speak!" I glared up at him before lunging the kunai right into his heart. His eyes went wide.
I was suddenly pushed away by a bright light, while Naruto's body glowed.
"Okay Akuma, keep your eyes closed-ttebayo!" Naruto shouted in a happy tone. I heard his feet slap against the floor as he ran to the other side of the kitchen. I tapped my fingers on the table.
"Hold out your hands." I sighed, then held out my hands. I felt something fall into my hands, causing me to raise my brow.
"Open them." I opened my eyes then stared down at the object in my hands. "Naruto! I told you to save your money!" He stuck his tongue out at me before smiling.
"It's fine-ttebayo. With us both doing missions; it left me with enough to get a gift for you. It's Christmas after all." I sighed before pulling the ribbon off the box.
"Like it?" He asked as my eyes went wide. I immediately pulled out the kunai from the box and smiled at it. "After you told me the story of the Uzumaki clan and where we our mother was from, I went and ordered a custom kunai just for you!"
I ran my thumb over the spiral engraved into the kunai. "It's made out of special material too. So it can withstand any element you choose to attack with. Not just that! But flip it over!"
I listened to Naruto, flipping the kunai to the other side. I read the engraving then smiled more. On the loop of the kunai was engraved 'Uzumaki Akuma. Code: Fox' in Kanji while on the blade itself was engraved one simple phrase.
"Never give up, eh?"
I never planned to give up.
I held my head as I stared at Naruto, who was still standing as the kunai that was stabbed into his heart, covered his body in this white glow.
I shook my head before I bolted off, unsure of what to make out from that random flashback. Was that really Naruto… was that really who my brother was?
Then why… why do I remember seeing him standing over our parent's bodies? I don't understand…
I stopped running when I realized that I had reached a bed of water. I stared down at my reflection, only to see Naruto appear. I growled, kicking the water.
This was happening all too fast, everything. It was as if I was living a story, written out to be a convenient end for the main characters within the story.
Was I a main character? Who was the main character in this story?
I growled, kicking the water one more time before kneeling down. "I was never good with writing stories… I wonder… does that mean that my story itself has many mistakes? Was I, all in itself, the main mistake of my own story? Heh… I guess… next time I shouldn't write it in ink."
I stood up before staring out at the water.
"If I remember… Uzushiogakure is out there… I need time…" I began walking on the water before glancing back. "I need to know who I am and what my purpose is… for now, Naruto… you will live. But next time, you might not be so lucky…"
Sasuke's POV
"Why did you even let Naruto out of the village to begin with if you knew a war was going on!" Sakura shouted at me as she looked over Naruto, who was still glowing.
"I didn't know, alright! How many times do I have to tell you that? Damn it I should have just gone to Tsunade!" I kicked the bed, causing Sakura to glare at me.
"Fuck it." I said, grabbing Naruto away from Sakura who shot me a look. "What the hell are you doing?" She growled out.
"I'm going to someone who is less moody than you and will ACTUALLY treat Naruto over staring at me!" I bolted off, heading to where I was told that the commanders of the Shinobi forces would be. I should have gone there to begin with, only Tsunade would know what was wrong with Naruto.
I avoided as many battlefields as I could before finally reaching the HQ.
"Who are you?" I turned to see someone holding a pole towards me. "Uchiha Sasuke, this is Uzumaki Naruto. He needs medical attention from Tsunade."
"You should have gone to the medical outpost." He instantly said. I shook my head.
"This wound cannot be treated by simple medical ninjas. This wound was caused by an Uzumaki clan's sealing technique."
Their eyes went wide in shock before he shook his head. "That Fuinjutsu clan was long since destroyed." I gave the guard a 'Seriously?' look.
"This ninja is UZUMAKI Naruto… his mother was UZUMAKI Kushina… his sister is UZUMAKI Akuma… I highly doubt the clan is extinct. A lot of people survived… Tsunade has a distant relative within the Uzumaki clan. She would understand this wound better than anyone else."
"The Kage's said to let him through." I turned to see someone standing at the entrance. I nodded to him before running in.
There must be a reason why their defense was put up to the max… what the hell did I miss?
