Chapter 37: Naruto's Return to Konoha
Naruto approached Konoha's gates, he almost stopped breathing. The streets were empty, the gate was damaged and wide open. Naruto walked into the village to see small fires on buildings all over the place. Naruto looked up to see that all of the Hokage Stone Faces had been destroyed.
"What have they done?" Naruto muttered, he quickly ran towards the only perfect looking building, The Ninja Academy/Hokage Office. Naruto burst in through the front door, tears burst out from his eyes, small kids were laid out all over the first floor. Blood was splattered all over the floor and walls.
"To destroy the stone faces is one thing...but killing Innocent little kids? Thats way to ****ing far!! I'll kill those bastards!" Naruto yelled and spun around, Jaiken was standing behind him. "You...You again!" Naruto exclaimed.
"You shouldn't swear on Lord Temet's holy ground...but since its too late for that...and you've seen the kids dead...you will be sent to Hell like the fifth Hokage and all of the other villagers." Jaiken said. Naruto jumped back, he was almost at the other wall.
"I don't give a damn about Temet! I'll kill him next!" Naruto yelled, with the tears flying off of his cheeks and onto the blood-stained floor. "Where do any of you get away with killing innocent children?" Naruto continued to yell.
"Are you really going to try and fight me? I can promise you won't make to Lord Temet. Come at me with all of your might, Uzumaki Naruto!" Jaiken said and got into a fighting stance. Naruto brushed the tears out of his eyes, he blinked, and his eyes were red from the Kyuubi's influence.
"Die!!!" Naruto yelled and charged at Jaiken, Naruto sent his fist for the gut of the large man, but Jaiken easily dodged and grabbed Naruto by his right leg and slung him out into the streets, Naruto landed on his feet and charged once more at Jaiken, who had made only hand sign.
"Disappear." Jaiken said and slapped Naruto right below his headband, Naruto vanished. Jaiken turned back towards the building, he paused and laughed a little. "So, it was a Shadow Clone?" Jaiken asked. Naruto emerged from behind a building.
"So that's how you got rid of my friends, huh?" Naruto asked, a large growl coming after it. Jaiken nodded and braced himself for battle. Naruto whipped out a kunai and pointed at it Jaiken's chest. "Tell me...how do I get them back?" Naruto asked.
"Get them back? You mean your friends? Ha...its simple...there is no way to get them back..." Jaiken said and burst into laughter. Naruto's eyes turned cold, more and more of the Kyuubi's chakra was leaking out. Naruto had the palm of his hand bleeding from his nails.
"The world...was just fine before you stuck your business here...the entire village of Konoha stopped the Akatsuki...they stopped the Kyuubi from taking over my body forever...Konoha...is stronger then the New Breed will ever be!" Naruto yelled and charged at Jaiken, Jaiken swipped his hand across Naruto's forehead. Naruto disappeared.
"I don't sense his chakra anymore...I've gotten rid of him...for good...join your friends Uzumaki...join your friends in a deminsion that you can't escape...but for now...I have to take care of Saburo and Marus..." Jaiken said out loud and stared to walk out of the village.
An Unkown Location
"Naruto-kun!" a female voice called out. Naruto couldn't open his eyes. He was flying through a dark space. Naruto tried to follow the voice, but he couldn't see where he was going. "Naruto-kun! Open your eyes!" the female voice called out. Naruto finally opened his eyes.
He was in Hinata's arms...but there was nothing but white around them. The other Konoha shinobi and villagers were all laying down. Hinata held Naruto very tightly, Naruto could barely understand where he was. Naruto didn't want to move, he didn't want to leave Hinata again.
"H-Hinata...is there a way out of here? Was Jaiken telling the truth? Is there really no way out?" Naruto asked, he looked into Hinata's eyes. She was crying, she was smiling as she did so.
"Not until you got here Naruto-kun..." Hinata said. Tsunade walked over.
"Naruto...your chakra is the key to get out of this place!" Tsunade said, and stood in front of the couple. Naruto and Hinata both stood up, they had a serious look on their faces. Tsunade smirked.
"What do I have to do?" Naruto asked.
