Chapter Two:
Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back-in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you.-Frederick Buechner

Konohagakure
The sun was shining, and birds were chirping, as they flew over Konohagakure, and the Stone faces of the four Hokage. The streets were bustling full of shinobi, and civilians. Academy students, and older veterans, an orange blur flew past several figures. Naruto was rushing as fast as he could today was the Genin exam at Konohagakure Shinobi Academy. But instead he was running from a shop owner, why you ask? All he did was stare at a mask he wanted to buy and it reminded him of his old ANBU guard he didn't know his or her name. All he knew is that whoever he or she was they wore a Crow shaped mask. He looked behind him, and the eyes bugged out of their sockets.
Now the shop owner was joined by a full blown angry mob. He ran as fast as his little legs could carry him, he was sweating more and more and the sweat stung as it ran into his eyes and his legs were burning. But he pushed himself trying to push the chakra into his body like Ikrua sensei taught them at the academy. He looked around frantically for help, but there was none. No ANBU guards, no Chunin or Jonin or even a simple Genin. All these events were being watched by a shadowy figure, he watched the crowd chasing the boy for several hours before slipping back into the shadows.
"Soon wraith will awaken and Konohagakure is going to regret its decision to abandon and break their Hero" spoke the figure to a teenage girl, who was sitting cross legged on the roof of the Hokage's office. She jerked up and grabbed her sword, and clenched her fist. "Where is he?' she asked in a low monotone, "He is near where the Uchiha clan once rested, a huge mob is after him. Apparently the ANBU and local shinobi forces have ignored him." replied the shadowy figure. "Otona...it's time. Go report to Father, and tell him to put the plan into operation." she ordered. "And what about you? What are you gonna do?" replied the now named Otona.
"Put Konoha in its place…no matter who or what gets in my way."
Naruto ran until he ran into a dead in. All he could do now was accept his fate. {So this is it...this is where I die…*chuckles* Sorry old man I won't take that hat from you.} "We have you now Demon!" shouted a pink haired lady, several Jonin near her covered their ears. Several villagers started to circle Naruto armed with various homemade weapons and tools. The Pink haired lady slowly raised a huge kitchen knife. Unknown to the group a blur was rushing towards them and coming closer and closer. "NOW YOU DIE!" screeched the banshee pink haired lady, causing more people to cover their ears and all wishing along the same lines {Would she just shut the hell up}. Their wish was instantly granted with a splatter of blood, the women screaming in pain holding the bloody stump of her arm, and the clattering of the blade on the ground.
There was a delay with a fluttering of wind, before someone deep within the crowd shouted "HEYY! Who the hell are you?". Everyone turned around and there was a teenaged girl between the ages of 18 to 19 years old. She was wearing a revealing black jumpsuit that was wrapped around her ankles, and legs. Her toenail and fingernail polish was black, she wore her hair into a long ponytail and a metal covering around her eyes and forehead. In the middle was the Kanji "長老". In her right hand was a sickle-shaped Katana with an X shaped crossguard and the handle was wrapped in black cloth, the curved axe portion of the blade was covered in drenching bright red blood that dripped slowly onto the ground, her posture screamed "I will kill you if you make a wrong move.".
Unfortunately a Jonin missed the memo and stepped forward baring a Kunai. "I don't know who you are. But you just murdered a Konoha citizen in broad daylight!" "Identify yourself!" he barked, sounding confident and strong but inside he was shaking in his boots. The girl turned around and she cocked her head up and down, before speaking again. "My name...is none of your concern." she spoke before she took a step forward causing the Jonin to back step. "But if you're curious...its Chōjo" she spoke with a tone that sent shivers down everyone's spine. {elder daughter? Who is she? She rescued Naruto?} thought a cat masked ANBU, she finally arrived after getting a bad feeling in her gut, and noticed Naruto wasn't at the academy. She observed the girl and was frozen in fear and awe. The girl flickered the blade and she cleans blood off with her hand before cocking her head. She pauses, and her emotionless mouth into a small smirk. "You fools….you have awakened the Wrath of the Fourth." Everyone freezes at. {What does she mean the wrath of the fourth…} thought the cat masked ANBU then her eyes flickered then widened in horror, and she screams "NARUTO!"
A jonin, took advantage of the girl appearing to stab Naruto with his sword. He smiled with glee and was prepared to shout at his comrades, before he froze. He turned back to the kid he stabbed and noticed a strange red lighting arching back and forth all across his body. Something was off, very off he got a chill that ran all through his body. Naruto's head rose slowly and he noticed both eyes were closed. "YOU WON'T SCARE ME DEMON!" he shouted. Then Naruto's one eye snapped open, shutting the Jonin up instantly. It glowed bright red, pulsating before glowing brighter and brighter. The arching energy continued to arch faster and faster, before Naruto's body started to glow brighter and brighter. Everyone covered their eyes minus the cat masked ANBU and Chōjo. The Cat masked ANBU looked back and forth from Naruto to the teenaged girl. "Aren't you gonna rescue him?" she asked anxiously as she was extremely worried for Naruto. Chōjo looked up at the ANBU "You care for him? Don't you? You treat him like a little brother? Correct" she asked in a low monotone but pointed tone. The Cat masked ANBU nodded slowly resting her hand on her tantō. Chōjo looked back to where Naruto was, and replied "You don't need to worry about him anymore, we're on the same page but not on the same page. You no longer need to worry about Otōto anymore." The cat masked ANBU raised her eyebrows {Younger son? Same page? But not? So she is an ally?}.
