- Naruto
He had found that note on his desk the first day of the month long break before the chunin exam finals, and there had been no trace of the blonde since. He had sent out his best tracking team to recover the lost jinchuriki but it seemed as though he hadn't even left his apartment after the preliminaries, he just disappeared.
And now it was exactly 1 minute before his match against Neji would start and there was still no sign of him. He had already decided that if the boy didn't show up he would finally have to tell the counsel that the boy was missing, possibly even defected. Up until now he had just used the excuse that jiraiya had taken him for training, but even the toad sage couldn't find him. Political reasons aside the hokage was worried for the boy, he had come to love him like a grandson, and his absence had been weighing on his mind ever since he realized that he couldn't be found.
With 10 seconds left he was ready to call the match, before something that would be recounted countless times years from now happened to the shock of everyone in the crowd, especially the hyuugas.
Why the hyuugas you ask?
Because when one Uzumaki Naruto arrived exactly 6 feet away from Neji Hyuuga, there was no chakra involved, no special technique, there was no change in the environment, one second there was nothing but an empty field in front of him, and in the next there he was with that mischievous grin on his face. There was no sound, no movement in the wind, even the blades of grass didn't seem to acknowledge his arrival, it was almost as if he had always been there, and the world had simply built itself around him. But that was impossible, Neji told himself, he was a Hyuuga, there wasn't a single genin on the planet who could fool his senses, he was sure of it.
But there he was, in a black slightly baggy sweater with a red spiral on the shoulder, and standard shinobi pants tapered off at the bottom, although it was unusual since most genin didn't wear them. What stood out most was the difference in the way he carried himself, rather than the attention starved, untalented, bumbling idiot of a ninja he had seen during the preliminaries, this Naruto looked entirely at peace with the world around him. The Naruto that Neji saw oddly looked as if he was there to meet one of his closest friends, but also as if he was simultaneously calculating how to break every bone in his body, and it honestly scared him, not that he would ever admit that.
It didn't make sense, every one knew Uzumaki Naruto was not calculating, and he definitely wasn't scary, before he always had a look as if he was constantly in a losing war with the world, but had the drive and the will to win, even if he didn't have the skill or talent to do so. But now it seemed as if he had finally gained mother nature's favor, to put it simply-
He looked ready to protect, and destroy at the same time, and Neji felt uneasy about which end of that spectrum he was on.
"Well I guess you technically made it, if not barely," the proctor cleared his throat. "No outside interference, no destroying the stadium, and absolutely no attacking the audience. If you're both ready, BEGIN!"
After the proctor disappeared, Neji settled into his taijutsu stance, and tensed when he saw Naruto begin to move, only for him to simply sit in a burmese meditation position on the ground, much to everyone's shock and confusion.
Neji watched for a moment as Naruto closed his eyes and began a prayer of some sort, before he rushed in at top speed, assuming Naruto was building up to some sort of a power up akin to Lee's eight gates. But to the surprise of Neji and all the veteran ninja in the stands, a pure white adaminte chain shot from Naruto's back and batted away Neji's palm thrust to Naruto's forehead. Neji spun on his heel aiming for a knee to the back of Naruto's head only for another chain to wrap around his knee temporarily immobilising him, it was only then did Neji, and the rest of the crowd hear Naruto's prayer.
"To the Earth bound by the chains of life , may she grant her beloved sun the power to protect her,"
--
"That's impossible," Hiruzen whispered, too quiet for anyone to hear.
--
"To the eternal light that binds my chains to the darkness, may she aid me in my termination of the shadows,"
--
"Abandon your orders, and kill him NOW," The kazekage yelled to the crowd, and before anyone could react, hundreds of sand and sound shinobi from the crowd, and from over the walls of the stadium rushed Naruto.
--
"To the heavenly realm and all its inhabitants, may god forgive my lack of mercy." --
But it was too late, the crowd, no, The World watched, as one Uzumaki Naruto single handedly ended a war in no more than 5 minutes. Only the most skilled shinobi could follow how Naruto defeated a thousand ninja, to the rest of the world it was a blinding flash of light, and countless chains and then it was over.
But to the few who could follow, they watched as hundreds of chains branched out of Naruto's back, and with a will of their own, impaled what would later be counted as 523 shinobi in the 15 seconds it took them to form. After that, it was 285 seconds of uninterrupted carnage, as a blade made from the same white metal as the chains, appeared in Naruto's hand, and with a speed rivaling the hiraishin, Naruto sped through the crowd with the grace of the water, the speed of lightning, and the ruthlessness of the flames of amaterasu.
Dead silence was the only response to the bloodbath, the crowd barely understood what happened or why, the shinobi couldn't believe it, and all anyone could focus on was the blond haired boy standing on top of what used to be an eight headed snake, with his sword buried to the hilt into its skull.
A/N: This is just something random i felt like writing real quick, i doubt i could ever make a story out of this simply because Naruto's just way to strong, i'd have to spend who knows how long explaining his powers, then making everyone around him 50x stronger just so it doesn't get boring, it would just be a loooot of world building.
Reviews would be nice, no need to flame there isn't going to be a sequel or anything like that, i just thought of that prayer and how badass i thought it sounded, and wanted to make an unrealistically badass scene around it.
Peace out!
