Chapter 36

The Boy

It was a cold morning full of wild winds that brushed her red hair as she stood on top of the newly constructed Four Towers, named after her son for all he had done for his people. Her people.

She saw him smiling as his eyes saw two young Uzumaki children playing with wooden swords, a teenage girl riding a horse much to the worry of the mother standing nearby, women knitting warm clothes for the cold weather, men busy guarding the village or helping in construction efforts.

The scars were deep, the destruction of the village still too raw, but the smiles on the people's faces had returned.

There was still sorrow in their hearts for all the loved ones they had lost, but there was also hope for a future and a renewed desire for justice.

"This is where I belong"

Kushina couldn't help but feel this in her heart as she stood in her homeland, between her clan, and her only son. He was her pride and joy for she could see the fine man he had become.

He petted the white wolf standing guard by his side earning an approving smile from the beast. Suddenly the wolf walked towards her and she tensed.

"You're my blood, he'll not harm you" said Naruto encouragingly, and watched as his mother gently knelt down and touched the wolf's neck gently.

It licked her cheek affectionately earning a small laugh from her son.

"He likes you"

"What if it didn't like me?" asked Kushina hesitantly,

"Well it would have chewed your head off"

Somehow, Kushina didn't doubt her son's words for she had seen this giant wolf which was as large as a grown horse tear through dozens of Kumo ninjas during the Battle of Uzu. It had fiercely protected her son and followed him loyally wherever he went.

"He's bigger than any wolf I've ever seen" commented Kushina, earning a nod from her son.

"Hanzo told me it's a direwolf. Rare creatures they are who bond only with a selected few, Hanzo's brother was the only one with whom this wolf bonded. Hanzo gave him to me then" explained Naruto,

"You should not call him just the wolf, it's your battle partner and a loyal friend. He should have a name" insisted Kushina, much to her boy's surprise.

"I didn't think about it"

He was silent for a few moments before looking at her with a kind smile.

"Give him a name"

"Me?" asked Kushina in surprise,

"Why not?"

She blushed.

"I'm not good with names. I gave you your name and-"

"You named me?" he asked in genuine surprise, making her nod alongwith a small smile directed for him.

"Yes"

He came closer and knelt beside her and she saw true curiosity shining in his young eyes.

"What does it mean?" asked her boy,

Tears came in her eyes as now she truly realized the extent of his troubled life. A motherless boy who didn't even know the meaning of his own name, who had never experienced the love of a parent- the love of a mother or the protection of a father.

He had grown up alone like a lone wolf, just like a...

She looked at the direwolf beside them and now knew what he must be called. A name so powerful that never made her forget the pain she had given her son and how much she had to make up for it the rest of her life.

His gentle hand touched her cheek and wiped away her tears...

"I named you Naruto for you were born amidst a storm. Your name means malestorm, the ones I experienced in my early years in this village. I hardly remember my own family for I was taken from my home very young to serve as Konoha's Jinchuuriki, but I remembered those storms and named you after them in memory of the home I lost"

He bowed his head and when a drop fell to the ground, she knew he was crying.

"We've both lived troublesome lives, it seems" he joked, but the pain was too raw in his choked voice.

It was she who lifted his face and wiped away his tears. In those eyes that were so much like Minato's, she saw the faint hope in his heart as he looked at her. She could see how much he had longed for a family yet never said his feelings outloud.

"We're home now"

His eyes slightly widened on her words and the next thing Kushina knew was his strong arms wrapping her in a warm embrace. She returned the gesture of acceptance whole heartedly as tears fell from her eyes.

She remembered apologizing to him over and over for not being there for him, for not being able to love him, for not cooking a good meal for him, for not walking with him to his first day at the academy, for not celebrating the day when he became a ninja, for not being there for so many things.

He never said a word in return but with each apology of hers, his arms hugged her so fiercely and she knew he was reliving his painful life.

But then he said something that gave her hope...

"I missed you, Mother"

They hugged each other for a long time with the direwolf taking turns to wipe away their tears. It was a bizarre sight to see such a fearsome creature do such a humane thing but he did it nonetheless.

When they parted from each other's arms she gave him a smile, one which he returned.

Her gaze then shifted towards the direwolf who was licking away her son's tears. It was a beautiful creature with snow white fur, blood red eyes that could terrify any man, and a body strong enough for her son to ride upon.

"Ghost"

Naruto blinked when his mother said that word while looking at his direwolf. He then remembered his own life as a living ghost all those years as he lived in Uzu, he remembered the times being a Ghost when he became an Assassin, and the times when his heart longed for the ghosts of his parents.

"It's a good name" he said with an approving smile,

Kushina repeated the name again and this time Ghost tackled her to the ground and started licking her earning a melodious laugh from his mother.

And Naruto couldn't help but realize how beautiful she was, how innocent and kind Kushina was despite all that had happened to her.

Looking at her reminded of a girl he had grown up with. One who was just like Kushina...

He made a silent prayer for her safe return to Ame.

Nagato had told him to give Kushina a chance, Akeno had fiercely opposed trusting her after all the pain she had given to her son.

But Nagato had managed to get a promise from Naruto to give Kushina a chance atleast.

He had been skeptical, Akeno had been completely opposed but they both trusted Nagato after all the three of them had been through. In the end, Akeno had relented only asking him to be careful.

Looking back now, he couldn't help but realize Nagato had seen what Naruto had truly wanted in his heart. And pushed him to get it despite all the opposition.

Thank you, Brother.

It was not going to be easy for both mother and son didn't know each other very well. She didn't even know about all the horrible things he had done in his life, the bad habits of smoking, drinking and whoring he had developed over the years...

Kushina didn't know many things about her son.

But what he could see in her eyes was that she loved him with all her heart.

It was hard for him to trust people, especially the ones who had hurt him but with her he was willing to take a risk with her.

Kushina walked through the streets with her son by her side. Almost everyone atleast called her son Lord Fourth, some even came to meet him although most of them were young women and girls. She made sure to give them all a withering glare which made many just greet him and leave it be.

He was her boy and she just got him back. And despite their new relationship, she couldn't help but feel protective towards him. He had already attained the status of a hero by saving the entire village, the fact that he was young and handsome only made him even more attractive to the opposite sex.

Surprisingly, he dealt with the attention quite naturally by politely chatting with the girls. But she had lived more years than him and seen more of life, and one peculiar thing stood out about her son when he talked with girls.

His charm was fake.

Sure he talked with them, even joked but his eyes didn't portray any joy as he did so. It was as if it was all a mask he had been well trained to portray to blend in with people. Nagato had said before leaving that her son was trained to be an Assassin.

She had found it quite shocking but as she watched him closely she could see bits of his training at work. She had already seen his ninja skills but now she saw another important skill of his, deception.

By the time they reached their destination, she seemed to have gained a better insight of her son.

"Well, here we are" he introduced by pointing towards a decent building full of residential apartments.

As they walked inside he made her climb three floors until they reached an apartment which her son walked into for the door was partially broken. Thankfully, it had been one of the buildings that hadn't been destroyed by the enemy forces.

But the moment he stopped inside, his icy expression returned.

Kushina grimaced as she watched the entire place had been trashed, furniture was broken, papers and clothes had been thrown around, the kitchen was a mess of empty liquor bottles and stale food. The place smelled horrible and there were tell tale signs of many people using this place carelessly.

Suddenly a young girl came rushing up the stairs and she paled on seeing their leader staring at his trashed apartment.

"Forgive me, Lord Fourth. We were going to clean this all up but-"

He stopped the girl by raising his hand as a tired sigh escaped from his lips.

"Can you get me some cleaning tools?" he asked calmly, despite the anger in his heart at Kumo ninjas.

"My Lord?" asked the girl in confusion,

"What's your name?" he asked,

"Inoue"

"Well then, Inoue. I asked you to get me some cleaning tools so that I can get to work" said Naruto calmly,

A sharp glance from him prevented the girl from raising any objection and she ran to carry out her assigned task. He found Kushina staring at him curiously which made him answer.

''Lord Third taught me a man must do his tasks on his own. This has been my home all my life and caring for what is my responsibility" he explained, earning a smile from her.

"Well said. It would seem Lord Third taught you a lot" she commented, and saw a sad look arrive in his eyes for a moment.

"Yes"

He didn't say anything more and instead made two shadow clones, together they all started the cleanup process. Kushina quickly made eight shadow clones earning a surprised look from him which made her scratch the back of her head.

"Jinchuuriki have large chakra reserves" she said embarrassed,

"I see. A good thing, I guess. Thank you for helping" replied Naruto with a smile,

"Of course, I'll help you settle your home" promised Kushina sincerely,

"Our Home"

Her breath stopped when he said that and looking into his eyes she saw he was not joking.

''Are you sure? I don't want to intrude, I'll find someplace else" said Kushina quickly, not wanting to risk their rocky relationship just yet. Moving into his home was a great leap into his personal life, one which she was not sure whether her son appreciated or not.

But his answer to her objections melted her heart.

"If I don't look after you, Father's ghost will come back and murder me" he said with an amused smile,

Her eyes became moist as she looked around at the two bedroom apartment which had a small hall, a decent kitchen, and two bathrooms. For an orphan, he was treated quite well but then she remembered Nagato telling her that it was also a way to keep Naruto happy thereby preventing his dark powers from going haywire during his childhood years.

Now that she looked into different corners of the apartment, there were destroyed silencing seals and many other protective measures. She looked at her son who only gave a faint nod confirming her suspicions.

"It was necessary"

That was all he said before moving into one of the rooms to carry out his work alongside his clones. She commanded her own clones to start cleaning up the kitchen and hall as she herself went into the other room.

For two hours they worked tirelessly with the girl Inoue bringing them cleaning tools. Despite Naruto's denial, she insisted in helping which made the Uzukage sigh and ask her to get them some lunch after sometime.

Kushina saw all this new luxury and hero worship was not her son's cup of tea. For a person who had grown up doing things on his own without help, this was certainly problematic. But he was adapting to it and trying to make a balance between his independence while not hurting the feelings of his people who wanted to serve him.

By afternoon, they had cleaned up the apartment of all the trash and broken furniture. Few noble lords and ladies came and gave them two bed mattresses and a decent sofa for the apartment. Naruto didn't want to accept it but Lord Arima himself came and insisted he take it, and her son couldn't refuse the most wealthy and influential man in the village.

For he needed Arima's ninjas and hidden wealth to remake Uzu.

Soon other lords and ladies of different houses came with small things needed for his apartment. Naruto was forced to accept their gifts or risk insulting them. Kushina actually found their insistence valid because she learned her son had denied the Uzukage's vast manor full of luxury which had been previously used as the residence by the enemy commanders.

With half the village in ruins, Naruto had now ordered the homeless people to take up residence there and decided to return to his own small apartment in the outer districts.

It had displeased the Lords and Ladies, but the common civilians were grateful for they now had a roof in this cold winter.

As they sat in silence and consumed their lunch, she discovered her son to be a silent man. Maybe it was because of the fact that he grew up alone most of his life.

"Can you tell me why you hate Konoha?" asked Kushina hesitantly,

He looked at her for several long moments and she had to do her best not to flinch for there was hatred in his eyes for the Leaf Village.

"Do you still feel something for Konoha?'' he asked in return,

"I..."

"Answer me honestly, mother" he said coldly, and this time she flinched but he didn't apologize for his rudeness for now she could see he was acting as the Uzukage responsible for his village and not as her son.

She sighed knowing this couldn't be avoided any longer.

"I hold no love for the village but I have friends there who are good people. I don't know what happened that made you hate them all and start a war, but Naruto you have a half brother too" pleaded Kushina, knowing how much Obito had wanted to meet her son.

The sweet boy had even promised to get Naruto back to Konoha before going to war.

"I know. I nearly killed him too"

His words nearly gave her a heart attack as she stared at him in horror. He then explained the Ambush he had staged, how he killed all those Konoha ninjas and saved Suna prisoners, how Kakashi took the killing blow aimed for Obito and died.

She felt sick after hearing it all and regretted her decision to eat food.

But he was blunt and looked at her directly.

"I am neither a saint or your little boy, Mother. I was trained to be an Assassin, I have killed more people than you probably have in your entire life. Drinking, smoking, whoring- I have done it all." he confessed without flinching,

He observed her closely and saw some anger arrive in her eyes after hearing all his crimes. Her clenched fists nearly drew blood and he expected her to lash out, but she surprised him by taking a deep breath and lowering her head.

"I won't judge you for I was not there to guide you" she admitted regretfully,

"Good, because you don't have the right"

She flinched on his coldness and couldn't decide on what to say to him. Thankfully, he saved her from the dilemma by answering her original question.

"I'll show you why I hate Konoha"

He grabbed her hand a little firmly and she felt a dark force connecting with the fear in her heart. The next thing she knew was finding herself in the same apartment. It was night time and there was peace.

Suddenly the alarms went across the entire village and she saw someone quickly running out of the main bedroom.

It was her son.

She watched him quickly get ready, join his friends, together they saw the enemy forces converging on their village, their desperate efforts to stall them, the Third Uzukage asking them to run with survivors and entrusting Naruto their leadership.

How her son motivated the survivors not to give up, the long march towards Konoha in hopes of finding sanctuary. Their struggle, their pain, their sadness.

And then came the betrayal.

She watched in horror as her son and Nagato discovered one of the Uzumaki group of survivors butchered, by the time they reached their own group most of them were butchered and the ambush had been staged by...

Konoha Anbu.

Her world came crashing down as she felt the betrayal in young Naruto and Nagato's heart, the boy's desperate struggle against the Anbu and their leader who confessed to their crimes.

And she knew the leader of those Anbu. Despite his mask, she knew that voice.

After that it was all a blur as Nagato took a blow aimed for her son, her boy losing control and darkness awakening. By the time he woke up, she saw the true extent of the slaughter he had wrecked.

Their desire to rescue Akeno, the sick laboratory where the Uzumaki children were kept in test tubes, the slaughter orchestrated by Naruto, finding Orochimaru in that base, and watching Naruto rescue them all.

The connection came to an end and Kushina rushed towards the sink to vomit the contents of her stomach. She heaved and heaved and felt a gentle hand rubbing her back.

A glass of water was presented to her and she drank it down quickly.

She couldn't even look at her son after seeing all that. Her head was spinning from all the revelations, he must have sensed her dilemma as he placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Get some rest and think it over, Mother. If you want to return to Konoha I will do so, but if you stay here then your loyalty is for Uzu alone and for me. It means forsaking your friends in Konoha, forsaking Obito. I'm sorry for being harsh, but this is the reality. Konoha will definitely start a war with us for getting you back" he admitted,

"I don't want anyone to die for me!" she yelled in fear,

"Neither do I. But it will happen be sure of that. I alongwith the rest of our clan will fight for you, bleed for you, even die for you as we will for any one of us. Family, Duty, Honor- Those are our words, and the Uzumaki will stand by them from this point on" he promised,

He left the apartment after that as she slumped in a nearby chair grasping her head.

What should she do?

Lord Arima was seated in the conference room with his son and heir, Shin by his side. On the opposite side sat Lady Touka, followed by Commander Hoji.

They were all that was left of Uzu's leadership, the rest being either killed or executed after their village's defeat.

Hoji was an aged warrior who had served the previous two Kages, even at 55 he was a formidable shinobi with years of battle experience. His hair had turned white, his face full of scars from all the battles he had fought. The old man still carried himself proudly and was the one who had by now whipped the remaining Uzu ninjas into a decent fighting force of 1000 men.

Lady Touka was a beauty despite nearing 40. Unfortunately, most of her family had perished in the massacre including her husband and sons. It was her infant nephew that was the heir to her ancient house. Despite supporting the Fourth, she was the one still hesitant to launch any war.

Lord Arima glanced at his own young son. Shin was almost the same age as the Uzukage, before the massacre he had just been a chunin but now due to lack of shinobi's he was promoted to Jounin. He was one of the most staunchest supporters of Naruto for Shin wanted to get revenge on Kumo for killing his elder brother, Matsuro.

Shin was all that was left of Arima's three children. His daughter had been raped and murdered, his elder son and heir died protecting Uzu, which only left Shin.

No, he had another.

A child he had not acknowledged his entire life for it was a bastard. It had been so many years ago when he had been an impulsive young man who fell in love with a Kumo kunoichi.

Ayano.

Thinking about his first and only love brought forth a torrent of regrets. Arima remembered the day his own father found out about him and the Kumo kunoichi, Arima remembered foolishly threatening to forsake his house and village for the woman he loved.

Yet fate had something else in store for him.

Ayano died giving birth to their child and her family refused to foster the babe. He remembered secretly infiltrating Kumo and stealing his first offspring from a horrible orphanage. He remembered bringing her back to Uzu and his own father refusing to give her a place in their house.

Arima was heartbroken.

Their house was the most powerful force in Uzu and even the Uzukages took their council before making any major decision. Arima's crimes of creating a bastard daughter would have destroyed his House's reputation. But he had still fought for his first daughter and managed to convince his father to spare that child's life.

Arima watched her grow from afar and day by day she became the exact replica of her mother. He had named the girl after her mother, and she would have been his first true child if she had not been a bastard born out of wedlock, just like Naruto Uzumaki whose own parents didn't marry making him a bastard.

But unlike Lord Fourth who faced the scorn and hatred for being a bastard, Arima's daughter lived a normal and happy life for he made sure no one knew her dark secret.

He did his duty as the heir to his house by taking up a wife and siring three legitimate children. But he never forgot about his first born and was today proud of the kunoichi she had become.

She was Ayano reborn with all her mother's beauty and that same hotheaded personality and Arima's heart wept for that girl who had his eyes now was so far away from him.

But it was also true that because of her common born status that she managed to survive the massacre for the enemy had hunted down the heirs of noble houses, including Arima's other two children. It was only when Arima surrendered did the enemy allow his only remaining son Shin to live.

Then Naruto returned to save them all and with him came Arima's lost daughter. She believed in Naruto and vouched for him which was the reason why Arima and his house accepted him as leader.

Akeno would probably never know him to be her father, but Arima was proud of her.

"So how goes our village?"

They all were quite startled when Lord Fourth entered the room in the form of a dark smoke through the window. He materialized into his person before them and asked them a question casually.

A chill went down their spines as they were reminded of the fact that he could kill them all if he wished to.

The only thing stopping him was the fact that he was truly loyal to Uzu and its people.

"My lord, it's a good thing Kumo brought with them enough food rations and water to last two years. It's all safely stored and can be used by our people. Our farms are mostly undamaged alongwith the hospital and warehouses. But shelter is a problem because many of our buildings are damaged or destroyed. As for our wealth and coin, they are safely lying in our great vault" reported Lady Touka,

"We have reactivated most of the defensive measures across our lands. I've whipped most of our fighters back into shape, they are ready to follow you" promised Commander Hoji,

"Good, then let us burn Kumo to ashes" proposed Shin excitedly,

"Be patient, son. Kumo may have lost their leaders and half its army, but they are still stronger than us" warned Lord Arima, earning a frown from his son.

Before any further argument could break up their leader got up from his chair and instead walked towards the board on which the shinobi world map was hanging. Picking up a wooden stick from a nearby table he pointed it at Uzu.

"Tell me, why were our village's strategic strengths preserved by our enemy? Including our small naval fleet?'' asked Naruto,

Arima walked towards his leader and looked at the small nation of Uzu on the map. He then considered that despite all the tragedy, Kumo had been playing a bigger game.

He then saw where Kumo's true aim was, Uzu had just been a minor objective to complete.

"They wanted to use Uzu as an advance garrison base. From our lands, Kumo could stretch its supply lines and be in a better position to launch deep strikes on either Kiri or Konoha" said Arima in surprise, The Raikage was quite the thinker.

Hoji also arrived beside them and saw the same thing.

"Gods" whispered the Commander,

"What's the matter? We must face them in open combat and get justice for our people no matter the odds!" urged Shin, uncaring of the true game the enemy had been playing at.

Naruto disdainfully glanced at the young heir of Arima's house. The fool didn't even understand that their faction stood no chance against Kumo in open combat on their homeground.

Knowing the Lightning Damiyo, he would use an invasion as the perfect opportunity to rally his crumbling nation.

The Akatsuki army were all transformed Zetsu soldiers who were barely decent soldiers. Their only advantage was their sheer numbers which would mean nothing if battle tested Kumo commanders managed to crush them.

But as he watched his people argue for and against the prospect of open warfare, he couldn't help but sense their hesitation and low confidence. Lady Touka was more inclined to focus on rebuilding Uzu and leave any revenge for the future.

Commander Hoji and Ken were demanding war and in favor of open combat.

But Arima was silent and hadn't voiced his opinions. The Lord had played a key role in Uzu's defense against three great villages and had a better sense of warfare than the remaining people in the room. He was not a true battle commander like Hoji behind whom soldiers could rally, but he was not a fool.

"Leave us" commanded Naruto, looking directly at all except Arima.

They were all about to protest but one withering glare from him had them bowing and swiftly exiting the room.

It was only then did Arima speak...

"They are fools"

Naruto couldn't help but smirk on realizing this man shared the same opinion. When Arima looked at him, for a moment Naruto was reminded of Akeno's eyes.

"We must make our enemies pay for their crimes now. But for that we must forsake our honor and morals" advised Lord Arima,

"How so?" asked Naruto, earning a knowing look from the older man.

"You were an Assassin, Lord Fourth. Katsuro trained you to do things which most of our clansmen will find dishonorable, what they fail to see is that this is a fucked up world with no place for honor. That era is long gone..." said Arima tiredly,

"That is true, my lord" agreed Naruto, as Arima looked at the large army still guarding their village.

"Our people are not yet ready for the kind of war you need to wage. I would have agreed with them before the massacre, but watching those Kumo bastards destroy my beloved daughter and murder her after has left little honor in my heart for our enemies. They will continue to terrorize our people, but I want them to know that no matter what happens...

The Uzumaki don't submit to terror. We make the terror" said Arima with pure hatred burning in his eyes,

Naruto couldn't help but nod his agreement and be impressed with this man who was willing to do what was necessary even if it stained his hands forever. He had scantly known Arima before the Massacre, a man of few words but a loyal ninja of the village. Usually a reserved man who advocated peace but was now the one vouching for war.

Watching his daughter be raped and murdered had truly changed him.

It was the same with Akeno who still wanted every last one of their enemies to burn for murdering their people.

"Lord Fourth, promise me justice and I shall make these fools obey every command of yours no matter how dishonorable'' promised Arima, true desire for revenge burning in his eyes.

"I will, my lord"

"Most of all I want Konoha to pay for the treachery they did to the survivors under your command. I still can't believe after all our two villages had been through they betrayed us like that" lamented Arima,

"They have changed" pointed Naruto,

"Then we must make them pay for their mistakes. Do not worry about our clansmen, as long as I live they will follow all your commands so that one day we may crush our enemies and gain justice for our fallen people"

Naruto nodded for that was all he wanted as well.

Konan entered his office a few minutes after she received his summons. She found him making markings on the shinobi map and approached towards him.

"You wanted to see me?" she asked,

He turned towards her and she realized he was quite fixated on something. The look in his eyes was the one she had seen before when he had made the plan to butcher the Iwa force entering Ame.

"I have an important mission for you. One which I can only trust you to fulfill" he said seriously,

"I'm listening"

His fingers pointed across five points on Kumo's lands. The five most influential port cities through which more than half of the trade of the Land of Lightning happened.

"Burn them all to the ground. Spare not a soul"

He waited for any sign of objection or hesitation but she simply glanced at the map,

"When?"

"Tomorrow you sail with 3,000 Akatsuki soldiers. Attack each city one by one and destroy it fully alongwith its people, terrorize them, make them realize the mistake they have made by crossing the Uzumaki" he explained,

"I can't hold any of those cities with that little men." pointed Konan with a frown, but he smiled.

"You are not supposed to hold them. Just destroy them and retreat. Continue to repeat the same pattern for the remaining targets. Once that is done retreat to this island and wait for further instructions"

Konan contemplated his plan and discovered a few important things. These raids would hurt Kumo but not enough, its populace would be terrified and economy affected but it was all a temporary setback.

If she burned those five cities to the ground, the now leaderless and disorganized Kumo forces would rise again to defend their motherland. They would fight twice as fiercely for they would have something very dear to lose.

And it was then she realized,

Her eyes widened when she saw where his gaze was truly fixated on. What he truly wanted to destroy...

"Are you scared, Konan?" he asked silently,

"Yes" she admitted, for now she knew the danger she would face in this plan of his.

"Good. That fear will keep you alive"

She nodded at his answer for there was nothing else to say. If it was anyone else, she would have outright called them mad and refused to follow this strategy. But she had fought beside him and knew his devious mind. This boy was the mastermind of ambushes as he had aptly proved against Konoha and Iwa forces.

For the past few days, she had sensed the conflict within him as he tried to accept his new role as Uzukage.

Trying to be the honorable leader his people wanted.

But this...was the work of a person who knew and accepted the darker side of the ninja world. One who was willing to go to any lengths to accomplish his objective.

One who wanted to make his enemies feel one and only thing,

Pain
