Chapter 8: The Beast is Unleashed

Forest of Death

Naruto and his team were rushing in the Forest of Death. They had been running for hours, with a 15 minute break every three hours for Sakura and yet they hadn't found any team. Not even Naruto's sensory skills which could go for over a hundred meters found any Chakra signal and he used it every one hundred meters. Naruto was getting agitated. He knew the chances of finding an Earth Scroll on the first day weren't many, but he expected to come across at least one of the many teams in the Forest.

But he had no luck so far. He looked to the sky, seeing the sun quickly going down.

"We will now search for a good spot to camp." he told them getting nods. After a few minutes, they stumbled on a rocky part of the forest. Naruto looked around, then with an Earth Jutsu, made a small cave-like opening. They sat down, as he lit up fire and heated the rations. They ate in silence, until Sakura spoke "Ehm Naruto." he looked at her "How bad was your life in Konoha?" she said, causing both Naruto and Sasuke to stop, with the latter looking at the former. With a sigh, he placed his food down "I guess I should start from the beginning. We're teammates, it's only fair." he said.

They nodded, looking intently as he took out a Kunai and rotated from its ring.

"Well, after I was born and my parents abandoned me, due to certain… circumstances regarding me, the village hated me. Even as a boy, I had as many assassination attempts as a Kage of a medium power Village. I was put into many orphanages, but they all kicked me out after a while. From the age of four to six, I stayed in an apartment paid by the Hokage. During that time, I had to learn to live on my own. I learned to cook, to wash, to repair, anything to take care of the house. It was difficult of course, the stores always kicked me out, so I had to scavenge in order to survive. At that time, every once in awhile I would get another attempt, or get beaten by drunken villagers. However, my apartment one day was lit on fire, with me in it. I jumped off, only to fall into an alley, where a mob waited. It was the first bad beating I experienced, with broken bones and cuts, among other things. This continued for a year, until one fateful night…." he said, shaking his head and biting his lips not wanting to remember. By that point Sakura had tears in her eyes, while Sasuke had a large frown and looked at him sadly. "Once I became 8, I went to the Hokage and took part in a ...special department of workers. I learned to fight there.

After that, once I became 12, I was given my inheritance." he finished. Sakura was sniffing, while Sasuke looked down "I thought my brother killing my entire clan was the worse. But you Naruto, you had it even worse. How are you still sane?" he asked, causing him to frown "I am not." he said, causing them to look at him "What do you mean?" Sakura said. "Before I went to that department, a Yamanaka under the orders of the Hokage sealed off all the most painful experiences I have. Even still, all I remember is glimpses and I am happy, because if I remembered more, I wouldn't be the same." he said, causing them to stay silent. He shrugged "Enough of that. We need to sleep. It's important to save our strength." he said. With a nod, they slept in sleeping bags, with Naruto taking first watch. He stood with 2 Kunai on his hands, his breathing slow, appearing almost dead.

Morning came, with Team 7 preparing to move out. They erased all signs of their existence from their spot. He turned to them "Ready?" he asked causing them to nod.

He nodded back and rushed off "Move out!" he said, his teammates following him. After an hour or so, Naruto suddenly stopped. He raised a curled fist, his teammates stopping as well. He looked around "Stay here." he said, disappearing. They simply waited for him.

Naruto stood on top of a branch, observing an Amegakure Team below. With a smirk, he took out two of his Kunai. He stood upside down the tree, then with a tug he fell down. As soon as he was on range he thrusted both Kunai into two of the three member's throats. Blood gushed out, with the third teammate turning in shock, but soon did Hand Seals. "Water Release: Wild Water Wave!" he yelled in anger, releasing a jet of water towards Naruto, which he dodged and did a "Wind Release:Vacuum Great Sphere!" sending a large orb of Wind that crushed the Ame Ninja on a wall, the microscopic blades in the sphere killing him. He searched their bodies, trying to find the Scroll. He smirked from his crouching position as he found it, but sighed as it was another Heaven Scroll. He soon frowned, however, at the sound of hissing. He turned only to jump back as a giant snake crushed the spot he stood. With a growl, he released many Shuriken and did a "Wind Release: Gale Palm!" causing them to go faster,easily piercing the snake, killing it. He however, found three more snakes rushing at him. He took out Kunai with explosive notes and sent them at the beasts, chunks of flesh flying.

Soon even more came, easily surrounding him. With a growl, he yelled "Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!" releasing blades of wind wherever he looked from his mouth. He took the Chakra handle and formed a Kaze no Yaiba with it. He rushed left and right, killing snakes, until he came to the source of the problem. A humongous black snake capable of spitting out many others. He quickly took 100 explosive notes and rushed at the snake, using Jounin Speed to slap it in different parts of his body. He then threw the rest inside it's mouth and did a "Kai!". With a large explosion, the snake was no more. 'That was a snake summon and not one of Anko's… Orochimaru… Sasuke, Sakura!' he widened his eyes, rushing to them. He arrived, only to see Sasuke getting bitten by Orochimaru.

Orochimaru turned to him with a smirk "Hello Naruto-kun! Did you like my gift?"

Naruto growled, holding his sword, releasing his Chakra. With a smirk, Orochimaru threw Kunai at him, only for him to slice them in half, as he rushed at him at Kage speed and decapitate him, only to turn into Mud 'A mud clone.' he thought, dodging a punch. He went to swing at him, only for Orochimaru to duck and sent a kick at his palm, shattering the Wood Handle. Before the Kaze no Yaiba dispersed, he swinged his arm at him, the blade released at him, cutting him in half, only to turn into Mud again. He heard a cry of "Wind Release: Wind Cutter!" only for a wave of sharp wind to come his way, forcing him to use Kawarimi. "Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet!" Naruto yelled, spitting spheres of Wind at great speeds. Orochimaru dodged them, then quickly engaged Naruto in a Taijutsu match. Meanwhile, Sakura was attending Sasuke, as she had made a temporary shelter and looked at the ongoing match, praying for Naruto to win and help Sasuke. Orochimaru noticed her, then with a smirk disappeared and appeared above her, ready to strike her with a Kunai. Naruto cursed and appeared in front of him, grabbing his Kunai arm and redirecting it at Orochimaru's own torso. However, he turned into sticky mad, with Orochimaru appearing above him. He tried to use his arm but failed, allowing Orochimaru to bite him in the neck. He yelled in pain, however, he used his free hand to make a Kaze no Yaiba and sliced at Orochimaru's face, making a large scar from his cheek to his torso, causing him to scream in anger. He Shunshined away, with Naruto collapsing to the ground. The terrified Sakura took him in, and placed him near Sasuke.

Two hours had passed after the encounter with Orochimaru, Sakura standing on guard with a Kunai. She hoped they'd wake up soon. To her misfortune, an Otogakure team appeared. The leader, a man wrapped in bandages spoke "Give us Sasuke Uchiha." he said, with Sakura looking ready for a fight. He approached causing her to smirk, but stopped. He and his team jumped over a patch of land, obviously moved to make a trap "Pathetic." he spoke, as he took a step, until he realised Sakura's smirk. The moment he stepped on the ground, she cut a nearby string, as a giant log fell down. Zaku yelled "Zankuha!" releasing a blast of wind that destroyed the log, causing Sakura to gasp and him to smirk. He went to attack her, only to get a kick from Rock Lee. "Don't worry Sakura-chan! I will protect you with my life!" he said.

Sakura nodded, hoping Naruto would awake soon. Unbeknownst to them, inside Naruto's mind, a very unique scene unfolded. A white snake slithered around, going through the black hallways of what looked to be a castle. Eventually, he descended some stairs, which were slightly lit by aura-like red flames. It descended further until it found what appeared to be Naruto's consciousness, asleep before a large metal door. It was surrounded by Sealing Tags, Sealing Chains and other security measures. With a smirk, the snake send an acidic stream that melted the central lock. Slowly, all the other locks opened. It had no idea what it unleashed. As soon as the door opened, a gold stream of power flew out, the flames lighting the room clinging on it, getting absorbed from it, until a giant wolf's head flew out, incinerating the snake. Then, the most horrible memory kicked in. The snake… had no idea what it just did, speeding the progress of unleashing the most horrible thing into the world….

Naruto's memory, Age 7

(Warning. Graphic scene. If you can't stand rape, I suggest turning away.)

A 7 year old Naruto could be seen running for his life. Behind him, a huge mob chased him, holding torches, pikes and whatever weapon they could use. Even Ninjas were in the mob, holding Katanas and Kunai. Naruto ran, trying to go as far as he could with his little legs, unfortunately it wasn't enough. A number of Kunai hit his legs and shoulder, forcing him to fall on the ground. The mob surrounded him and started beating him. Naruto cried, begging for the torture to stop, but it fell upon deaf ears. They carried on for hours, until it came to a halt. Naruto forced a small smile on his face, thinking it was over, however, the mob had other plans. Suddenly, two hands grabbed him and raised him in the air, the mob going to a direction outside the village. Somehow, no one noticed a hundred villagers and shinobi leaving. Or they did, but didn't care. The mob lead him to a hill. There, they stripped him of his clothes and tied him up in spiked heated chains. They boy screamed as the hot metal pierced and pressed his body, burning his skin and flesh. However, he felt something press on his rear. Horror on his face at what it meant, he shakily turned to find a man with a wide grin on his face, ready to penetrate him "Please… I did nothing wrong…" the boy muttered painfully, causing the man to scowl "Nothing wrong… NOTHING WRONG? YOU KILLED MY FAMILY! I AM RETURNING THE

FAVOR!" he yelled, pushing inside with a wider grin, while Naruto screamed in pain, tears flowing like a river. He kept thrusting, until he released inside the boy. The boy gasped, thinking it was over, but it continued, people taking turns, some even using the poor boy's mouth, when the boy wasn't yelling to stop.

Eventually, they stopped and took off his chains. Naruto's mind was in a haze, laying in a puddle of blood and semen, his body going numb, however, he did feel the pain from a new set of hot chains. The villagers took the poor boy and tied him on a cross "Go back to hell, demon!" they yelled, as they lit the cross on fire, with Naruto on it, trying to kill him like a witch. Naruto screamed loudly, Chakra rolling of him, the painful experience activating it. Before he lost unconsciousness, which in his mind was dying, he saw with half-lidded eyes a furious Hokage and his Anbu cutting villagers and Shinobi alike left and right.

Forest of Death, 20 minutes after the arrival of Rock Lee.

Sakura looked at the scene with fearful eyes. After Rock Lee's arrival, both Team 9 and 10 arrived, trying to help her. However, the Oto Genins were too strong. A minute ago, Sasuke woke up, Chakra rolling off him, asking her who did it. When Zaku pointed at him, he went to attack him, however, they all stopped as the heaviest pressure they ever felt fell on the area. They turned, noticing Naruto, Gold Chakra with a growing black tint rolling off him, reaching Kage- Level. His skin was red, smoke rising from it. Dark lightning crackled around him, as the ground shook with power. He was slowly rising, his hair swapping colours, his nails turning into claws, his teeth into fangs. He opened his eyes, turned into a sickly gold with a slit, shining. He stood at his legs, his frame getting larger, cracks appearing on his skin, from which black light appeared. He started screaming, the ground shaking with power, as the Curse mark on his neck glowed, a purple haze leaving it. The screams only got louder, going through the entire forest, the cracks widening. Then, with a final yell, he exploded in an orb of black light, to the horror of all. However, the orb stayed, before a thin gold beam rose to the sky, darkening it with clouds filled with lightning bolts, as a large earthquake struck the area. Winds howled, as the gold beam grew more powerful, roars coming from it. Soon, it decreased, going lower and lower, until it disappeared, revealing a figure. It was a man. He stood at 5'9, with pitch black hair and a golden bang in the shape of a bolt. His eyes were void, gold with a slit, similar to a wolf's. His body was ripped, the muscles looking like they were made with a chisel and they could snap rocks in half. He didn't have sleeves and his pants were shorts. Suddenly, his eyes glowed, before he held his head and roared in the heavens, a black beam twice the size of the golden one rising.

Everywhere in the forest, you could hear animals roaring as well. The beam of power was felt in the entire Elemental Nations, not to mention the entire existence.

Orochimaru, had just started the Prophecy…

Hokage Tower

Hiruzen widened his eyes, turning into the black beam, along with the rest of the room. Inside were Jiraiya, Minato, Kushina and all of Konoha's Jounin. Hiruzen looked in fear, feeling the very familiar power, the same as the one 5 years ago, only it was stronger and more potent. Minato and Kushina looked in fear, as their children were in the room, with the Sensei's worrying for their students. Hiruzen placed a hand on his chest 'God have mercy on us all… he remembered…' he thought.

Makai

Makai was in an uproar. Lava was coming off the ground, the earth shook and the sky was surrounded by lightning. Every Demon felt the power. Outside the Gate to the Ninth Level stood a small Demon Army camp. They were the armies of the Nine Bijuu.

Taken from their Summoning Realm, mutated, they served the Nine Bijuu and of course their master. When they felt the power, which shook the Immovable Ninth Gate to it's core, they rose, flaring their power in excitement "ALL HAIL THE SEED OF

SHINJU! ALL HAIL THE SEED OF SHINJU!" they roared in excitement. Their Superior roared "ENOUGH! DEMONS OF THE SEED! INFORM THE REST OF THE NINE

ARMIES!" he roared, getting more roars of approval.

Bukkai

Bukkai was no different. Many of the residents looked down from the Clouds, seeing the Black Mist rising. The city was in a lockdown immediately, as Gods turned to look at it. In a far corner of Bukkai, a White Marble Tower laid. Inside, a group of what appeared to be elves rose from their seats, taking out their Silver Blades "The Tree lives! The Tree lives!" they yelled. Their commander shouted "Begin the Plan! Start the preparation for the arrival of our God!" he yelled, the Forest of Death

The Genins looked scared on the black beam. They didn't know what the hell was going on, they just knew Naruto was causing it. Soon, the beam died down, leaving Naruto panting, his fangs clenched shut, while his eyes scanned the clearing. A black aura surrounded him, as he seemed to be sniffing. Soon, he laid eyes on Zaku and disappeared, only for the Genins to hear a cry of pain. They turned and looked horrified at what they saw. On the ground, laid Zaku, his arms having massive cuts in different places. Blood flowed from them freely, as the elbow looked broken as well.

Behind him was Naruto, who looked at his bloodied hands, then turned to Dosu. Dosu sent his strongest sound wave at him, only for Naruto to shrug it off. He reared his mouth back and released a roar that send Dosu flying onto a tree, the tree cracking and breaking Dosu's ribs. He then turned to the female of the Team, who was slowly backing away. His eyes looked at her up and down and he approached her, like a predator following his prey. "P-Please." she said, collapsing to the ground, her arms covering her head "I-I'll do anything." she stuttered, only to yelp scared as Naruto grabbed her by the throat and picked her up, holding her in the air. He sniffed at her, his eyes glowing, his instincts kicking in. With a grin, he bit down on her neck, causing her to scream and lose consciousness. He dropped her to the ground, as he turned to Dosu

"Give me your scroll and I will spare your's and that insect's life. The girl is mine though." a primal voice said, in a tone that said obey or die.

Dosu simply nodded, threw him the scroll and grabbed Zaku and left. Naruto caught it, looking as it was an Earth Scroll, then made it disappear in a puff of smoke, as he dropped the spare Heaven scroll near the Konoha team's feet. He turned to both Sakura and Sasuke "Let's go." he said with a growl, only for Sasuke to scowl and attack him, surrounded by dark Chakra. Naruto sent a punch in his hand, creating a shockwave, then chopped his neck. He pressed two fingers on the seal, then destroyed it with a pulse of Chakra. He grabbed Sasuke and Kin, then turned to Sakura. She simply nodded fearfully, following him as he disappeared in the trees.

Shikamaru's fearful frame shook itself, as he grabbed the scroll "Troublesome former blond." he said.

After an hour of running, Team 7 appeared in the tower. He dropped Sasuke and Sakura to the ground, slapped a tag with a symbol on Kin's back, then gave the scrolls to Sakura "Open them and throw them to the ground. A Chunin will come. Tell him to summon the Hokage." he said, before collapsing to the ground, his aura disappearing. Sakura did as he told, with Iruka appearing "Congratu-WHAT HAPPENED?!" he yelled upon noticing the fallen Genins. "C-Call the Hokage."

Sakura said, then fell to the ground, her physical and mental energy drained, as Iruka called a fellow Chunin to alert the Hokage.

Naruto's Mindscape

Naruto looked around his changed mindscape. No longer did it have the appearance of a dungeon, rather it looked like a dusty throne room of a castle. It was a long and wide hallway, made of black marble, filled with dust. Red banners were on the walls, the colour worn off from decay, the cloth cut in many different places.

The roof has a cylinder- shape, with what appeared to be spider webs on it. Unlit chandeliers were hanged from the roof, the gold obscured with rust. He kept walking looking at the different sections, until he came across 10 circular steps. On top was a circle, with the throne in the middle. The throne appeared to be one of a conqueror. It was made of Black Metal, with what appeared to be 10 united tails as the back of the throne. The arms of the throne have a wolf head, the mouth open.

Above the throne room, was a circular window. Surprisingly, the window's stained glass had his insignia on it. He looked at the throne again, noticing two things.

One, the left wolf head had a clear glass orb on it's maws, while the right had what appeared to be a black chain ring. He tried pulling the ring first, but nothing happened. He then pulled the orb, however, with a tug, a gold light appeared from the orb, shooting off like a rocket and travelled around the room, all under Naruto's surprised gaze. Eventually, the orb slowed down, until it stopped 2 feet away from Naruto. A voice was heard from the orb "Welcome…"

it said, it's tone welcoming, yet demanding of respect. Naruto felt the power from this orb and unconsciously took a step back "Who-What are you?" he asked, a laugh escaping from the orb "Really, I thought you would know your ancestor." it said, playfully. Naruto raised his eyebrow "I got many ancestors." he said, causing the orb to laugh "Of course. How about this? I am the one who once shook the world to it's core. I am the one whose existence changed everything. I am the One above all the Ones." he said. Naruto thought the riddle and widened his eyes. He immediately fell to one knee "Shinju-sama…" he said. The orb turned into a what appeared to be a man made of wood.

The Shinju smiled "No need to kneel before me my Legacy." he said, with Naruto standing up.

"Where are we?" he said. The Shinju glowed a bit "Your mind, or rather your reformed mind. Do you remember what happened?" He asked, with Naruto frowning "All I remember is slicing Orochimaru, the rest are unclear pictures." he muttered. "Orochimaru did something stupid, which worked to our advantage and disadvantage. He awakened my power hidden in my will, which was placed on you. Right now, you are beyond a Demi-God. You are what you would be at the age of 15." he said, with Naruto widening his eyes.

"The bad thing is the way you activated your true power, along with the fact that at the age of 16, you will become a full, ageless God. The good thing is, it gives us time to get you used to your current and future power. Until the time comes to become the full Shinju, I shall reside within you." he said, with Naruto nodding "I thank you for that. This…power.." he said, curling his palm into a fist "It's so strong and potent, almost intoxicating. I keep hearing my instincts.." he said. "Don't worry, you will learn to control it." he said "Oh by the way, while you got to the tower fueled by your instincts, you ehhh made a slave." he chuckled, with Naruto blinking "I did a what?"he asked. "A slave. As a God, much less a primordial one, you're allowed not only to take as many Mates as you like, but also as many slaves too. And no, it can't be undone. Her fate is bound to yours, if you die she dies. Luckily, it ain't the other way around."

he explained, with Naruto sighing "All right. Can't help it I guess. Anything else I should worry in my current state?" He said, folding his arms. Shinju nodded "One. You have an increased libido. Two, demons will be drawn to your power, Males will try to kill you, females dominate you. If you defeat them without killing them, they can be your slaves in both cases, or mates in female cases. Also, until you learn to control this power, the more you battle the crazier you will get. Once, you learn to control it, only a strong battle will have this effect. Finally, you can now control two God weapons at the same time and 10 Holy and Demonic Weapons." he said, with Naruto sighed even more. They continued conversing about Naruto's status.

Tower

Naruto opened his eyes, yawning and stretching his arms. He looked around, noticing he was in a room inside the tower. With a yawn, he stood up, then looked down, growling as he ripped off the hospital robe from his body. He unsealed a pair of boxers from a seal, putting them on, then looked at his body in the mirror. He narrowed his now permanently gold eyes, while touching his black hair 'So… this is me at 15…' he thought, then smirked "God do I look good." he said, then put on new clothes. He put on a simple blue bodysuit, however both pants and shirt were too short. He let the shirt as it was, defining his muscles. He taped white bandages on the part his pants no longer covered. He nodded to himself, as he clenched his fist 'The preparations have begun…soon the world will bow to the power of the Alpha...' he thought, releasing a burst of power, as his eyes shined.
