NARUTO
DEMON DRAGON: part three
" It's him, the one from the woods!" a terrified Sakura screamed.
" He's back to finish us off," she yelled grappling herself on a defenseless Sasuke who
moaned in agony.
" Not this time you cheat, I'll beat you face to face!" Roared Naruto.
He unleashed his shuriken and charged at the strange shinobi. The shurikens positioned
straight as they hacked through the air towards the boy who stood listlessly. The ninja
stared at Naruto with his abyss-like eyes, until finally shifting behind him and grabbing
his wrist with echoing force. Naruto howled in pain as he was flung into the air, and
landed on his spine with a thump!
Naruto recovered with a flip and dashed back at the ninja's now reverted back.
Once again with accuracy the ninja threw his leg into the air, catching Naruto square in
the jaw. Naruto's body spun from the immense force of the kick. Blood spurting out his
nose, and splashed on his face as his head came in contact with the ground.
" How dare you!" Naruto spit.
With his back still turned, the boy hurtled one more right kick, causing Naruto to skid out
the cave and through the misty beyond.
"NARUTO!" breathed a frightened Sakura.
The boy stood as stiff as stone, with his eyes glancing at the leaned down Sasuke
and the upright Sakura. His eyes focused and gleamed with alert vigilance, as a torrent of
shurikens stormed from the mist and headed towards the ninja in immense numbers.
The ninja with quickness formed an art of ninjustsu. The muttered words took
effect as all the ninja stars stopped in their place, still spinning violently.
With rapid movement, the boy formed two hooks from his hands, and perched them
together. He roared two more words and they echoed with efficiency. The spinning
shurikens returned to their recent foundation with haste. They dashed back through the
mist, as their violent humming sounds grew faint through the fog.
Everything stood silent. The outside environment seemed isolated from the cave
itself. All life appeared inaccessible and the mist stayed thick as wall. The misty wall
blocked out existence, both from outside and in, but this wall finally got breached. There
was a massive bong! A storm of wind forced the mist away, and all the mist entered the
cave. The vapors of the fading fog announced numerous figures behind it.
"Art of the doppelganger, Impressive" the boy muttered under his breath.
There were ten Narutos, all wielding a set of their own shurikens. The first four in the
horizontal line dashed at the ninjas turned back, and three from both sides maneuvered to
the left and right.
This strategic play didn't frighten the boy; he just stood as still as ever. The three
from the left and the three from the right were closing in, as the four from the back
moved in with their shurikens ready to strike. The ninja with his inert eyes focused
straight ahead and paid no mind to the situation. Everything seemed to be in order as the
ten Narutos closed in on their prey, but at the last inch of the strike, it happened.
A boom erupted from the boy's hand as he pounded his fist into his palm. His
middle and pointing fingers centered upward, and his fist dug deep within his palm. The
vibrating force created from the motion had a latent effect, which only become known
when Naruto was reduced to his normal number of bodies.
" It's the art of reduction." Sasuke breathed, as he lay dormant on the cave's hard
ground. Naruto stood confused with his hand in the air suspending a shuriken, which
gleamed the newly entering sun.
" If I wasn't so defenseless, I'd." but Sasuke didn't finish as his body ached once
more.
" Try and save your breath Sasuke" Sakura tried to comfort an agitated Sasuke.
Naruto flushed as he realized his strategy had been reduced to nothing.
" Maybe you can let me live?" compromised Naruto. He tried to back up and
sprint for it, but had tripped, falling on his backside. The sun was now accompanying the
cave with luster. Everything ensconced in darkness finally came to be revealed.
Naruto gasped at what he had seen. The cave was filled with scrolls and
manuscripts from all shapes and sizes, differing from colors and textures.
The whole backside of the cave was filtered to the top with scrolls stacked like sticks.
" What are these scrolls doing here?" gasped Naruto causing both Sasuke and
Sakura to turn with curiosity. Sakura also gasped but Sasuke just stared with expectance.
Sasuke reverted his gaze onto the boy and stared him down as he watched him
stride.
The Ninja walked over to Naruto, who leaped in fright from his approach. He let
out a hand for Naruto showing his remorse.
" I didn't mean to harm you, put you left me with no choice" he said finally
gripping Naruto's hand and lifting him up on his two feet. Naruto dusted himself off
while still keeping a vigilant stare at the ninja. Naruto scanned him with distrust, and so
did Sakura who stood up with haste.
" If you didn't mean no harm, then why did you attack us in the forest?" inquired
Sakura. The ninja didn't answer immediately; he merely walked over to a boulder that sat
solitarily in a corner of the cave, and perched himself on top. Sakura grew agitated, and
started to turn a violent red on her face. She gritted her teeth while her head steamed like
a volcano.
" ANSWER MY QUESTION!" she roared pointing her fingers at the lonesome
ninja within his corner, but he didn't answer, instead he gazed at the ground as if in a
zone of his own.
" So it is true, you are the Exiled moon clan member!" Sasuke glared with
loathing eyes.
The ninja finally lifted his head, and his face changed from idle to astonishment.
He was taken aback from Sasuke words. Those words caused something within the Ninja,
to explode in explanation.
" How do you know of that fact" he queried Sasuke.
" The scrolls were a big help," breathed a weak sasuke. His eyes looked
piercingly at the ninja who now changed his gaze at the caves floor once more.
" It wasn't me who attacked you in the woods" he started focusing his eyes into a
glare of hatred.
" It was my brother"
" HE'S YOUR WHAT?" screamed Naruto. The gleaming sun burned on their
faces as it was freely entered the cave. The group had gone silent from those words, until
he spoke again with listless.
" That's right, my twin brother" the ninja said with his head bowed down to the
ground. Naruto scratched his head and thought deeply, and within a minute he tried to
rephrase Sasuke's words.
" Moon clan, isn't that where you and your brother are from?" Naruto started.
" What is it?" he finished not sure whether to ask at all.
There was a moment of silence from the ninja, until at last he lifted his head and
answered.
" The moon clan, use to be like every other ninja clan, we had freedom, and we
had respect. We were known as scroll makers, and were constantly visited by Ninjas of
other villages. Even hokages, such as the fourth, came to us to craft personal scrolls of all
his favorite art forms. One thing we were most of all respected for, was our Wisdom of
unknown ninjustsu arts. Constructing the most deadliest Scrolls any ninja has ever seen,
we remained untouchable. Until a day unbecoming, fell upon our village in a form never
seen before. I was young, and I was starting my chunin training, but I could remember as
the skies thickened and the winds kicked as a demonic fiend of tyranny fell upon our
land" He gulped trying to continue while Naruto bent his head down making sure he
didn't hear that last part; but the ninja continued.
" The demon reeked havoc upon our ninja home, but we had no success in
defeating this creature of terror. With a swing of its muscle endowed tail it knocked out
blocks of our town structures in minutes. Its screech could deafen any ninja and blast
their eardrums with blood. Even our mightiest scrolls proved nothing against this beast.
Only after three long days of destruction, had the demon left our home. Leaving as if
disappointed of itself, but the trail it left wasn't one forgotten by us."
" Many lives were lost and we tried valiantly to get back on our feet. I could
remember the older Ninjas storming around trying to save people trapped under rumble
and debris, But what I remember the most is when the hokage of tree and leaf came to
our shattered home days later after the disaster. The elders went into a conference with
the hokage, where not even jonins were allowed. What happened next took me by
surprise. Our clan had become exiled for a violation of misuse on ninjustsu scrolls. It
would seem that the demon that attacked our home, also attacked the konoha village. The
demon, they said, bared a moon clan crescent, a symbol given to all Moon clan members
at birth, and for a demon to have that symbol would mean someone of the moon, had
summoned it. From that day we were exiled from the other Ninja villages, and with that
we became independent, and exiled for good. I don't know what happened of the demon
but I do know that we Remained outcasts, and tried to survive with the little members we
had in our clan." The ninja finally concluded his speech and reverted his attention to the
ground.
Sasuke, who had been listening with stern focus, tried to speak over his pain.
" Your clan was long forgotten, and you lived on to never be found again, but
why now, why do you and your brother surface?"
" Good question, one I can not answer yet." The ninja said with a pale appearance
making Sasuke give a pugnacious glare.
" At least tell us your name" Sakura suggested still by Sasuke side.
" Okay, I guess I could do that" he said still not taking his eye off the ground.
" The name's Kenji " He stopped to exhale air ", and my bother's name is Koji."
He added with detest anger. The group went silent, but it was soon broken when Naruto
jumped up with an alarm.
" Hey, we forgot about master Kakashi!" he said franticly.
" You're right Naruto, for once in your life you're right!" Sakura said smart
mouthy. Naruto glared at her as if ready to pounce.
"Are you referring to that Jonin?" Kenji asked with idle eyes. The two stopped
their irrelevant war, and stared at him.
" Yes, have you seen him?" Sakura asked pushing away a grumpy Naruto.
" Don't worry your self of the one with the shurigan eye, my brother requires his
presence vitally." Kenji assured as if expecting a clam reaction
" WHAT DO YOU MEAN DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM!!" Sakura roared
with her arms swinging furiously, yet Kenji stayed serene. Everyone's attention sighted
upon Sasuke who was surprisingly on his own two feet.
" We have to go look for him, that brother of yours took us out within seconds
and you expects us to sit back and watch!" Sasuke bellowed with all his might, as he was
now staggering upright. His ankles tremble from the exerted gravity.
" I see your injuries are finally healing" Kenji said coolly. His immobile
expression watched the sway of Sasuke's motion.
"Look Kenji, if this is some sibling rivalry that we are caught in the middle of,
you better explain, because I don't think that a exiled clan member, would come out of
nowhere and dismantle three ninja cadets and their sensei." Sakura roared with grief.
The words fazed Kenji with the lowest efficiency, but he answered her plea as if it
had. His cold pale face turned to the three curious members. Sasuke fell to his knees as
his legs gave in and Naruto now lay a loath on one of the huge scrolls.
" Like I said before, don't worried about your sensei."
" YOU'VE SAID THAT BEFORE, NOW EXPLAIN!" Sakura said assertively.
Kenji sighed and decided whether to tell the group the truth. When finally contemplating
the situation, Kenji inhaled and stared into the eyes of the ready ninjas.
" Let me start from the beginning. Like Sasuke said, I'm from the moon clan long
forgotten, But not any more. I've left on the month after the demons rampage. Half of my
family was killed, besides my sister and brother and several other clan members. The
reason of my leave was over the conflict of what my brother proposed." Kenji heaved his
chest and continued with regained focus.
" My brother wanted revenge over all the ninja villages that denied any assistance
to them during that time of mayhem. The moon clan agreed on this proposal, but they
faced the difficult task of going about this revenge. So another plan was hatched, a plan
so unspeakable it's hard for me to speak it," Kenji stopped to gain some moral and finally
continued.
" My brother volunteered, and plans on finding the whereabouts of the scared
cave of immortals."
" WHAT THE? ARE YOU SERIOUS, ISN'T THAT WHERE--?"
" Where the scroll of umbra is hidden, exactly" Kenji looked gloomed, but he had
to go on for they needed to know.
" The scroll of umbra, is a scroll untouched by mortal hands, for sealed in it is
magic beyond comprehension. The scroll if ever wielded by any ninja could cause
devastating destruction. This scroll has been used before, but by a immortal known as
Kakashi."
Everyone gasped. They've heard many exploits of Kakashi, but this was the peek
of them all.
"Kakashi an immortal, paleeeeese, he cant even remember to come to our training
sessions on time" Naruto mocked, but everyone sat with stern looks leaving Naruto
flustered as he sank into the scrolls around him.
" Just pay no attention to ignoramuses such as Naruto, and continue your story
Kenji" Sakura said matter-of-factly.
" Like I said, Kakashi was the first, and last to ever use the scroll of umbra. The
scroll somehow, if used correctly, released a massive flow of energy, which can instantly
pull every thing into a state of oblivion. This was revered as the pandemonium state.
Everything gets slowly destroyed bit by bit. Consequently when it first happened, it only
lasted for three days, for Kakashi was stopped by who knows what. All that was known
was that it had stopped, and with careful precision they placed the scroll in a cave known
as the cave of immortality. For many years the coordinates were purposely lost on behalf
of everyone's safety. The location of the cave, and the scroll were lost and remained
oblivious to all, but now my brother plans on seeking out the scroll and its power."
" But how, you said no one knows the caves location, and plus he cant touch it,
only if he's immortal" Naruto pointed out with hesitance.
" Kakashi! He's going to use Kakashi to find the scroll, and wield it" Sasuke said
acknowledge.
The group fell into eerie silence. Kenji looked out the caves entrance as if he
heard noises in the distant beyond, but nothing out of the normal could be heard. He
focused on, while the other three sat as still as Kenji once stood. Finally Naruto spoke,
breaking the silence.
" So, what are these scrolls for." He asked pointing a finger to the many hills of
scrolls he sat by.
" My clan is also known for scroll hunting, we are trained to seek the most
greatest scrolls. You see; those scrolls are filled with Jonin level ninjustsu techniques that
are going to help me defeat my brother. We Moon clan ninjas are trained to intense jonin
levels, and it might take all I got to take him down." Kenji now stood up with his fist
clenched that. They shook with immense ferocity, sweat pouring slowly down his
knuckles. His eyes lost beneath his hair, which hung over like tree leafs on a branch. He
gritted his teeth in utter hatred, dwelling on his brother's pursuits. A hand smoothly
clamped his shoulder causing him to turn; it was Sakura with a worried face.
" Is there anything we can help you with Kenji?" Sakura asked with sincerity, but
Kenji retorted.
" There's no need for your assistance, my brothers caliber far exceeds the three of
yours, and your help will just cause pain for the three of you" This reply caused uproar
from the cell. They objected from Kenji's suggestion, and demanded to assist.
"We can't let that cocky freak beat us and get away with it, plus he has our sensei
if you didn't notice. We're not giving up without a fight." Naruto preached.
" Naruto's right, your brother needs to be taught a lesson" Sakura said unsure
what that lesson was. Kenji was barely listening and started to dig into his backpack. He
exposed herbs of green, healthy texture, with wrinkling moist quality.
He rolled the herbs up one by one until he had three pipe like rolls. He then took
out a stone bowl with rigid features, chipped around the ridges and small holes
everywhere.
Kenji unbuttoned a pouch, which he took a small stone from. Placing each leaf in
one at a time, he smashed and squished the leaves with vigorous motion. The three ninjas
watched with snooping eyes as Kenji poured the now liquidized herbs into three separate
Stone cups.
" What are you doing with those leaves?' questioned a curious Naruto.
" They're herbs, they'll help with healing your wounds." Kenji held the three
small cups out towards the cell group.
" You crazy, I'm not going to drink leaf liquid" Naruto said repulsed.
" I think you might want to take it if you expect to help me in any way possible"
Kenji replied with glowing content, but his face stood stagnant as the stiffest stone. His
gleaming eyes surfaced from their mane cover as he watched all three of them grab the
jars with delight, especially Naruto who shone with glee.
" See, I knew you'd want our help" he sipped happily until spiting it right back
out with repulse. His tongue burned with searing acid, as it rushed down his throat and
into his stomach.
" Is it s'pose to do that?" Naruto asked in agony. Sakura was feeling the same, her
head burned and her mouth stung like fire toasting within her mouth. Every scar in her
body seared like they were lit on fire, and her knee shook with instability. Sasuke who
was already in severe anguish, started to lose total control of his motor skills, and all
kinetic energy went away. Though he didn't feel it, Sasuke's body was feverishly
burning.
" What did you give us Kenji?" Sakura quizzed as her body burned like acid. She
fell to her knees with her mouth opened wide, forming mime-like noses from them.
Naruto now was striding towards the illusive image of Kenji in his eyes. The
image faded like a light being turned off for the night. The other two members, Sasuke
and Sakura had already taken the full dose of the herb and fell still, but Naruto was now
gripping deathly upon Kenji, who stood with an emotionless posture. Naruto finally gave
in as the herb hit his system. His hands slipped off of Kenji like wet water on a rock.
Naruto fell to his knees with an ear-shattering crack, he looked up at the stagnant
Kenji, but his figure slowly shifted away.
" DAMN YOU KENJI!" Naruto murmured with gritting teeth, as his body finally
refused normal function, and he fell with a THUMP!

DEMON DRAGON: part three
" It's him, the one from the woods!" a terrified Sakura screamed.
" He's back to finish us off," she yelled grappling herself on a defenseless Sasuke who
moaned in agony.
" Not this time you cheat, I'll beat you face to face!" Roared Naruto.
He unleashed his shuriken and charged at the strange shinobi. The shurikens positioned

Naruto flushed as he realized his strategy had been reduced to nothing.
" Maybe you can let me live?" compromised Naruto. He tried to back up and
sprint for it, but had tripped, falling on his backside. The sun was now accompanying the

" ANSWER MY QUESTION!" she roared pointing her fingers at the lonesome
ninja within his corner, but he didn't answer, instead he gazed at the ground as if in a
zone of his own.
" So it is true, you are the Exiled moon clan member!" Sasuke glared with
loathing eyes.
The ninja finally lifted his head, and his face changed from idle to astonishment.
He was taken aback from Sasuke words. Those words caused something within the Ninja,
to explode in explanation.
" How do you know of that fact" he queried Sasuke.

" What is it?" he finished not sure whether to ask at all.
There was a moment of silence from the ninja, until at last he lifted his head and
answered.
" The moon clan, use to be like every other ninja clan, we had freedom, and we
had respect. We were known as scroll makers, and were constantly visited by Ninjas of
other villages. Even hokages, such as the fourth, came to us to craft personal scrolls of all
his favorite art forms. One thing we were most of all respected for, was our Wisdom of

Sasuke, who had been listening with stern focus, tried to speak over his pain.

" But how, you said no one knows the caves location, and plus he cant touch it,
only if he's immortal" Naruto pointed out with hesitance.
" Kakashi! He's going to use Kakashi to find the scroll, and wield it" Sasuke said
acknowledge.
The group fell into eerie silence. Kenji looked out the caves entrance as if he
heard noises in the distant beyond, but nothing out of the normal could be heard. He
focused on, while the other three sat as still as Kenji once stood. Finally Naruto spoke,
breaking the silence.
" So, what are these scrolls for." He asked pointing a finger to the many hills of
scrolls he sat by.
" My clan is also known for scroll hunting, we are trained to seek the most
greatest scrolls. You see; those scrolls are filled with Jonin level ninjustsu techniques that
are going to help me defeat my brother. We Moon clan ninjas are trained to intense jonin
levels, and it might take all I got to take him down." Kenji now stood up with his fist
clenched that. They shook with immense ferocity, sweat pouring slowly down his
knuckles. His eyes lost beneath his hair, which hung over like tree leafs on a branch. He
gritted his teeth in utter hatred, dwelling on his brother's pursuits. A hand smoothly
clamped his shoulder causing him to turn; it was Sakura with a worried face.
" Is there anything we can help you with Kenji?" Sakura asked with sincerity, but
Kenji retorted.
" There's no need for your assistance, my brothers caliber far exceeds the three of
yours, and your help will just cause pain for the three of you" This reply caused uproar
from the cell. They objected from Kenji's suggestion, and demanded to assist.
"We can't let that cocky freak beat us and get away with it, plus he has our sensei
if you didn't notice. We're not giving up without a fight." Naruto preached.
" Naruto's right, your brother needs to be taught a lesson" Sakura said unsure
what that lesson was. Kenji was barely listening and started to dig into his backpack. He
exposed herbs of green, healthy texture, with wrinkling moist quality.
He rolled the herbs up one by one until he had three pipe like rolls. He then took
out a stone bowl with rigid features, chipped around the ridges and small holes
everywhere.
Kenji unbuttoned a pouch, which he took a small stone from. Placing each leaf in
one at a time, he smashed and squished the leaves with vigorous motion. The three ninjas
watched with snooping eyes as Kenji poured the now liquidized herbs into three separate
Stone cups.
" What are you doing with those leaves?' questioned a curious Naruto.
" They're herbs, they'll help with healing your wounds." Kenji held the three
small cups out towards the cell group.
" You crazy, I'm not going to drink leaf liquid" Naruto said repulsed.
" I think you might want to take it if you expect to help me in any way possible"
Kenji replied with glowing content, but his face stood stagnant as the stiffest stone. His
gleaming eyes surfaced from their mane cover as he watched all three of them grab the
jars with delight, especially Naruto who shone with glee.
" See, I knew you'd want our help" he sipped happily until spiting it right back
out with repulse. His tongue burned with searing acid, as it rushed down his throat and
into his stomach.
" Is it s'pose to do that?" Naruto asked in agony. Sakura was feeling the same, her
head burned and her mouth stung like fire toasting within her mouth. Every scar in her
body seared like they were lit on fire, and her knee shook with instability. Sasuke who
was already in severe anguish, started to lose total control of his motor skills, and all
kinetic energy went away. Though he didn't feel it, Sasuke's body was feverishly
burning.
" What did you give us Kenji?" Sakura quizzed as her body burned like acid. She
fell to her knees with her mouth opened wide, forming mime-like noses from them.
Naruto now was striding towards the illusive image of Kenji in his eyes. The
image faded like a light being turned off for the night. The other two members, Sasuke
and Sakura had already taken the full dose of the herb and fell still, but Naruto was now
gripping deathly upon Kenji, who stood with an emotionless posture. Naruto finally gave
in as the herb hit his system. His hands slipped off of Kenji like wet water on a rock.
Naruto fell to his knees with an ear-shattering crack, he looked up at the stagnant
Kenji, but his figure slowly shifted away.
" DAMN YOU KENJI!" Naruto murmured with gritting teeth, as his body finally
refused normal function, and he fell with a THUMP!
