Wow it's been a long time since I last updated this thing, oh well better late than never. Hope you enjoy the chapter.
Jiriaya stared at the creature as it came closer and closer to him, the blood red glowing eyes of the Kyuubi stared back into his own.
"Ah Kyuubi, I was hoping that I wouldn't be seeing you again," said Jiriaya as casually as if he were talking to an old friend.
The Kyuubi could only let out a howl of rage, as it tried to stare down the teacher of the man who sealed him inside this retched human body. The smile that had curled on Jiriaya's lips did nothing to improve his disposition towards the Toad Sage.
"I see that you still hold a grudge against me, how ever I must ask you to return to the seal, and allow Naruto to regain control of his body," said Jiriaya keeping the same unfazed tone.
The Kyuubi started circling him, Tsunade, and Shizune like a lion circles it's pray, looking for a chance to strike them. Jiriaya clutched a small square piece of paper in his palm, while his outer appearance didn't show it, his heart was racing beating almost painfully within his chest, would he be able to do it in time, or would the creature have another victim to add to the blood that already stained Naruto's innocent hands?
"It appears that you are not talkative Kyuubi, very well then, lets do this," said Jiriaya as the creature stopped directly in front of him, sniffing the air as if he could smell the fear that was emanating from him.
There was a flash of red, Tsunade, and Shizune stood there frozen, both in a defensive position, Jiriaya stood before them, his harm outstretched, his palm pressed flat against the forehead of the Kyuubi. The creature then fell to the ground as its chakra that covered his body started to reseed back into the seal that held the majority of it back.
Naruto now lay before the three of them, the skies that were darkened, by the thick clouds of smoke created from the burning buildings, seemed to dissipate as if representing the darkness clearing within Naruto's own mind. He then looked up with tear filled blue eyes, as Jiriaya, Tsunade, and Shizune stared down at him. None of them, had a look of hatred for the kid, but a look of relief, and sadness, they knew that Naruto was innocent in the outburst, but it would not sit well with the citizens of Konoha.
Jiriaya smiled as he knelt down to Naruto, a warm smile on his face, as he pulled the boy into a warm hug, allowing him to cry against his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry Master, I did so much wrong, and shamed you," cried Naruto his voice choking as he spoke to the man that had been like a father to him.
"It's alright son, it's all over now, you haven't brought me any shame, I am the one who should apologize, for not getting you out of there before it came to this," said Jiriaya.
The two of them got to their feet, Naruto's eyes were red, and puffy from the tears that he'd shed, his heart ached as images of the people hat the Kyuubi had killed flashed through his mind's eye, as if someone were showing him a recording of everything that had transpired within the last few hours. What would Hinata think of him? Would her parents allow him back into the Hyuuga Complex after what he'd just done?
Naruto's eyes left out a fresh wave of tears as the image of the little girl's bloody mangled body flashed through his mind. He felt himself becoming sick as his mind seemed to become stuck on that image, he fell to his knees and started to choke and gasp for air. Tsunade, knelt down beside him, and rubbed his back, as she wasn't sure what to tell the kid, that it would be alright? There wasn't anything that would ever make this alright.
Neji opened the sealed door of the Hyuga Complex, his white eyes stared at the destruction that the Kyuubi had caused the village. A dark smile curled on his lips as he saw the raw power that the Kyuubi had unleashed without being anywhere near it's full power. He then began to wonder what kind of power the Seven-Tails that's sealed inside Hinata possessed, and if he would be able to make it his own.
"I must have that power," he said as he walked back into the complex, then down into the sealed vault where the unconscious Hinata was being held.
"Has she attempted to regain consciousness yet?"asked Neji to one of the men who'd been assigned to stand guard over his sleeping cousin.
"No sir, it appears that the battle between her and the Shakaku Jinchuuriki took a lot out of her, the demon inside her is attempting to heal her body, but its power too seems to be greatly diminished," said the Guard.
"Good keep me informed of her condition, I want a report every half-hour, I want to know of any changes, even if it's something minor, like she sneezed," said Neji as the guard nodded his head.
Neji left the area of the vault that Hinata was kept in and entered another section that was filled with ancient, scrolls, many of them were sealed with powerful jutsu so that their contents could never be read. Neji walked into the room, and began to scan through the numerous scrolls that filled it, some of them were covered in layers of dust, once he'd found the scroll he'd been searching for he sat down at a table in the middle of the room, he broke the seal on the scroll and began to read it's contents, with each line the smile on his face grew larger, and larger.
Jiriaya walked through the destroyed village, his heart felt heavy as he stared at the many dead, and homeless villagers that littered the streets. The crumbled foundations, and wisps of smoke were all that remained of many of the buildings that filled the streets. The cries of children filled his ears as he walked over the rubble, as he made his way to the remains of the Hokage's tower. Half the wall of the once proud building was now completely obliterated.
As he walked towards it, a man that looked like he was at his wits end ran towards him, anger filled his eyes as he stared at Jiriaya.
"You! You caused all of this! You left that monster into this village!" shouted the Village Elder.
Jiriaya stood there, and laughed as he heard the shouts of the village elder, as he came closer, and closer to Jiriaya.
"It was your own fault Yakan, I warned you what would happen when Naruto's anger is unleashed. It is your own fault, and because of your decision the village now has to suffer for it," said Jiriaya.
Yakan stared at him as Jiriaya's words stuck through him like a knife.
"I don't care, that does not change the fact that you brought that monster into this village knowing that he was a danger to those around him!" said Yakan.
"Naruto, is not a monster, and he is not a danger to anyone as long as he isn't treated like you treated him! And as Hokage of this village, I absolve him of all responsibility, and place it all upon the person who had ordered him to be tortured without a Hokage present," said Tsunade as she walked up behind Jiriaya.
Yakan stared at Tsunade in both fear, and shock as her words seemed to echo in his ears.
"But I am not to blame Lady Tsunade it was Jiriaya who..."
"You are to blame Yakan, and as Hokage I sentence you to helping repair every single building in this village starting with the Hokage's Tower, you will build it brick, by brick," said Tsunade.
"Y-Yes, Lady Tsunade," said Yakan through gritted teeth, as he bowed to Tsunade.
"Very nice Tsunade," said Jiriaya with a smirk on his face.
"Why thank you," said Tsunade in a fake sweet voice.
A girl stood atop the Hokage's Mountain, her brown eyes stared down at the carnage that began to unfold, she watched as Naruto laid waist to the village below. The screams and explosions that emanated from the village making her yern to be the one to calm the hurt spirit that now filled Naruto's being.
"Oh Naruto, look at what they've done to you, you who would never hurt a soul if you could avoid it, are now forced to kill thousands of people. All for their stupid insatiable appetite for revenge, Naruto please don't let this effect you more than what has already happened to you," said the girl as she silently cried into the mask that covered her face.
She stood there, a little longer then had to get out of the way as one of the Kyuubi's energy blasts obliterated the face of the Fourth Hokage. She stood there staring at the destruction, as the mountain shook and threatened to collapse, knowing that she was only delaying the inevitable, she stared a bit longer then disappeared in a whirlwind of leaves.
Orochimaru smiled in the candle lit room of his laboratory, his yellow eyes stared hungrily at the swirling red glowing mass, that was contained within a glass vial. Oh, how he longed for the day when he would be able to take the swirling mass into his own body, but he'd need more, much more.
"Oh Naruto, how I long to possess what you have, to be the most powerful ninja on this planet. Of course I need not only your power, but also the power of the other Jinchuuriki, before the Akatsuki can get their hands on them." said Orochimaru as he pricked his finger and added his blood to the swirlling mass in the vial.
"Once I have gained the powers of all the Jinchuuriki I will bring this world to its knees, and then I shall learn its secrets, and then I shall be the most powerful ninja on this planet and all will become subjects for my experiments," said the Crazed Snake Sannin.
Naruto walked down the long dirt road, longing to see Hinata, and the rest of the family, with the exception of Neji. He breathed a sigh of relief when he seen that the Hyuga Complex remained untouched by the Kyuubi when it went on its rampage. How ever when he entered the gates, he was not greeted by the guards with a warm welcome.
"You are no longer welcome here beast, by order of the new Head of the Hyuga clan, Hizashi," said the Guard.
I'll have the next chapter up soon as I can, and I promise it won't take another year before I get it put onto the site. I'm over my writer's block, and I'll finish this story!
