Downfall of the Light 2

Chapter 12: The End is Near

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto in any possible way! I am just a fan, so learn to live with it. Despite what kind of story I write based on this, Naruto is still not mine. I wish it was though, so I would not abuse it like Kishimoto did. No wonder why I don't like him.

AN: I am very sorry that I didn't get this thing posted earlier, I had a very busy month. Thank you so much for supporting me so far, I wouldn't have been able to make this thing at all. To those who wondered if I have died, no, I haven't. However, it wouldn't hurt to see death… Reality just hasn't been letting me get off the hook, I really wish that it would though. I certainly hope the holidays would be better, I really need my rest and also, I want to finish this volume as soon as possible so I could start with the third one. I think there are 3 to 4 chapters left before this thing is done, I hope you all would be patient! Thank you all so much for your reviews, they kept me going all this time in one way or another. For those who actually gave me long reviews of sincere encouragement, you know who you are and I just can't give any more of my thanks, you guys are the best! To those who celebrate Christmas, I wish you all a Merry Christmas. For readers who don't, I want to wish you a safe holiday! I, on the other hand, wish I have a safe holiday… Anyway, enough about me, I want you all to like this chapter, think of it as my Christmas present for all of you. I hope I can muster up another chapter before New Years, I will see what I can do! Before this chapter begins, I want to say the content this time is death, kill, destroy, blood, obliteration etc, I just love death in general. BE WARNED!

I want to thank these people for reviewing, and if you never reviewed but read my story anyway, I thank you for reading and enjoyed it! Thank you: Patch5129, HinatasBiggestFanBoy, Fujimaru-kun, Dragon Man 180, cynical chaos, jasx316, sephynarutocloud, greyfox885 (I thank you for sharing your suggestions with me and thank you for being a friend), Night-Owl123, Lamikhara, joecool, --, stoictimer, Gopu, spitfir3, Jacob Kessler, violentlycheerful (I really, really, really thank you for caring about me with your words, MERRY CHRISTMAS!), Crutches, TriAce-Gaara, D.D Designator ,Forbidden, thedarkowns, bob (You don't have to read my work if you don't want to, I certainly don't mind if you do or not), warprince2000, hyuugaman, Dark Hero, DeathWolf, Shadows, Resurrected Evil, XAegis-SRX, Mothman, Devil's Blessing, Anoe, AlphaC, anonymous and ZeAlOuS ReAdEr. Thank you so much for reviewing! I have a several questions for several of you, I just didn't get what you were truly saying.

Anonymous: What is AOGA? I thought about it for a month and I still don't get it. If you wish to review again, please tell me what it is.

AN: Let me answer some of your questions now, for those who asked me after I reposted chapter 11. Oh yeah, to those who actually insisted me to not kill the villagers… yeah right. Of course I will kill them, they are practically deserving it!

XAegis-SRX: I don't know how I can answer your question… let's say if Naruto's dead, Kiba believes he has a chance. If Naruto survived the mission, he would not have such an ambition. Why did I pick Kiba amongst everyone is because I don't like him and KibaHina is something I want to prove to people that I DISLIKE IT A LOT. So, this is like a KibaHina smash or whatever you want to call it. A flame is a review where you just BS and criticize without even the basic intention to help the author. If you criticize for a good reason, it would be considered constructive criticism which all authors hope for. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Resurrected Evil: WAY too powerful, you ask? He is strong in some ways, weak in a lot of ways. Just because he is strong physically, doesn't mean he is strong in every aspect in life. Besides, not all the characters I had in mind are out yet. Please have more faith in me, thank you.

Jacob Kessler: What are you even talking about… that phrase I used has NOTHING to do with any sidetasks or whatnot. It was just a line to make things look more fancy so I don't have to write "Just don't piss him off and you will be okay". I cannot accept your hell idea because it just doesn't work. Naruto isn't dead, why the heck will he be in hell? Even though Kyubi may be a demon, there is no logical explanation for him to fall in there. I rather have limited OCs this volume because I only like Rin… until volume 3, that's where I hope my creativity in OCs kick in. Suggest your hell idea to MystikD, I am sure he would like it.

Stoictimer: I will let this chapter answer your questions. As for Tsunade, she has low importance in this.

AN: I hope you all will enjoy this newest creation of mine, if you feel it was rushed and uncoordinated, feel free to tell me. I personally think I should've done a better job at it. Please forgive me if there are ANY mistakes, I worked really hard on this. Anyway, let the saga continue!

(In the outskirts of Konoha)

It was finally time for good relaxation and revelation, Haku was finally back from his short term mission in the Mist as a special medic. Just two months ago, he left Konoha to take on this special important task for the Mist was his first home. When his originated home village needed desperate help, who was he to refuse? He was doing it for a good cause and not to mention he was successful in his financial gains and his new social success. Haku couldn't wait to see his friends again, especially Rin since she didn't want him to go to begin with. Rin could be so attached to people and no one would believe her presence was a nuisance, she was definitely a miraculous one. Ever since Naruto was no longer with them, he decided to be a closer friend to Rin and the others, they really needed him to be there even though he was disgusted at himself that he couldn't do anything to make a difference. Guilt and remorse was still something he experienced up to this date, it was hard to let things go.

As Haku traveled closer to the main gates of the village, he somehow sensed a very familiar aura in the air. This was something he sensed before, yet it felt so long ago. Not only that, if his eyes weren't lying to him, he would've been sure that the area near the south gate was bright, very bright since many torches were lit, Haku was surprised that he could see it so clearly in the distance. Knowing this, he only assumed that a large group of people would be gathering there for some special reason. However, when that section of the sky above them suddenly began to rain fire, Haku's vigilance level rose immediately. It was that point where he sensed a dark aura nearby, he suddenly figured out who it belonged to, he was alive after all! When Haku thought about it a bit more carefully, he wondered what could be possibly happening over there, it wasn't hard to notice that this encounter would be anything close to fortunate.

Once the Mist nin saw multiple lightning flares being unleashed from the ground to the sky, Haku knew better than to stand around and ponder about the possible causes. Naruto would need help, and he was going to help him no matter what was happening. If his intuition was working accordingly, Haku safely assumed that a case of genocide may occur in the near future. Moving quickly into a quick sprint, the Hunter nin hoped it wasn't too late. He didn't know how this happened, he was only determined to find out.

(Meanwhile at the South Gate of Konoha)

"You are not achieving anything by killing me, Kiba!" shouted Naruto as he leaped back while the mob of zealots rushed towards him in a furious fashion. Kiba only snickered as his men commenced the attack, things were finally going towards the path of disaster, disaster for the young Death Knight. As soon as Naruto landed several ten meters back, the crowd grinned as they lit their thick, dense wooden sticks with fire and tossed it right at Naruto similar to a rain of fire. The assailant winced in distress as he took out his sidearm and aimed at as many sticks as he could possibly aimed at. Without any sign of hesitation, he fired. The approaching attacks were shattered into pieces as each chakra bullet struck each incoming pursuit, it wasn't like he had a choice to not defend himself. However, in spite of all his efforts, Naruto's defense came to a halt when he no longer could afford to be in that position anymore. Utilizing a shifting movement to achieve more thrust so he could evade, the assailant quickly slipped backwards as the rain of fire made contact with the ground in flames. Similarly, he pointed his gun right at one of the attackers, he shot him in the head killing him at once.

"You are quite impressive aren't you?" questioned Kiba cackling. "It's over!" Hearing those words, the mob continued their rush at Naruto, who unsheathed his primary melee weapon charging with chakra, he then engaged the citizens in a close range combat. Screaming with rage, a villager raised his scythe preparing to slash. Sensing the enemy's sudden movement and motive, Naruto quickly pulled his wielding arm back and delivered a heavy slash right at the neck. Gasping for air when the throat was already cut, the civilian held it painfully as blood flooded out rapidly. In seconds, the victim fell on the ground expecting death while Naruto continued to initiate combat against more of them who were attacking.

Emitting a screechy battle cry from the back, a peasant raised his own pick-axe above his head wanting to nail the assailant on the head. Once the weapon was inches or possibly centimeters away from his skull, that lowlife peasant gasped when he struck nothing but air. In the next second, he yelped painfully when a 5-inch assault knife was jammed into his stomach. Shortly after, he collapsed to the floor awaiting death by blood loss. Hearing furious curses from all directions, Naruto grimaced noticing the amount of people he had to deal with.

"Their numbers seem so limitless…" cursed the Death Knight as he tilted his body slightly to evade a rake aiming for his right shoulder, which he luckily did. Naruto grunted a bit as he detected a presence coming from the left side at the corner of his eye. Narrowing his eyes angrily, he generated chakra into his army knife, which was now on his left wrist, and punched the person right in the stomach. The male zealot grunted in pain but his torment was cut short as the knife opened to attack thus viciously rushed into the area near his crotch. Loud gulps were heard from some of the bystanders, which were not a lot since most of them were preparing to attack the assassin, that attack must've hurt badly.

Once Naruto pulled out his army knife out of the victim, he leaped high into the sky as an axe wielder made a horizontal slash. Gathering energy into his runeblade and giving out a hoarse battle cry, Naruto unleashed the Chain Lightning right at the fool who just tried to attack him. As the concentrated electric beam hit that poor bastard on the face, not only did it electrocute him, the beam automatically jumped to eight other people striking them with high bolts of lightning. Nine people may have fallen to the ground but the zealots' attacks refused to cease.

"Attack, destroy!" ordered Kiba violently seeing his men were not being efficient enough. He was certainly insanely enthusiastic about this operation, Naruto wondered if Kiba actually had sanity left. "Show no mercy!"

"Die demon!" shouted a ninja revolutionary holding a katana above his head to attack. Reacting in a quick pace, the Death Knight managed to defend with his own weapon but it wasn't long before another attacker came from the back.

"Take this!" yelled the back attacker in a fierce voice ready to plow his sword right into Naruto's spine. The katana user snickered knowing Naruto was too busy to be able to dodge that, his luck had finally reached an end. However, it was then when the assailant suddenly disappeared from existence, it was that moment when both attackers' eyes opened in fear. At that point, it was too late to halt their attacks, the katana rushed downward to the sword wielder's shoulder while the sword jammed into ninja's torso. Both screamed in torment as they fell to the ground. Once Naruto returned to reality after from using Phase Shift, he crushed one of their heads with a stomp and took off to engage the rest.

"How could you do that to Murai, you bastard!" yelled a crossbow user as he fired a sharp arrow right at the Death Knight. Not noticing this, Naruto took the arrow right at the left arm but fortunately for him it was only a deep scratch. Even though it wasn't all out critical, it was quite painful.

"Damn…" cursed the assailant as he saw more arrows being fired at him from a distance at where Kiba was standing. To make things worse, they added an additional fire effect to it to deal more devastating damage efficiently. Pointing his runeblade at the backup firing squad hoping to stop them from attacking, an arrow whizzed by him and struck the sword causing it to tilt. Naruto cursed out loud as his attacking was released at a completely wrong angle thus practically signaling the attackers to attack him, which they did no doubt. Not showing any signs of wanting to cease fire, the crossbow archers from the back aimed at an upward 45 degrees and unleashed the flaming arrows to create a fire rain effect once again. Grimacing noticeably, the assailant had no choice but to evade every one of them, there was no way he would be gambling with his luck now. Not only would these arrows burn him, it could pierce through to his flesh well.

Flipping back with shifts and tilts along with several slashes to destroy any arrows that he wasn't able to dodge, Naruto flashed a death glare angrily at the mob as the flares continued to send burning sensations through his jacket to his skin. Even though he didn't emit any tortured groans, the Konoha oppositions knew the flames did hurt him in one way or another. Not allowing these wretched bastards to take the better of him, Naruto took out one of his combat knives from his belt and charged it with chakra to create a beam knife. Wielding his left arm back to a throwing position, the Death Knight forcefully whipped the knife right at the zealots like a slicing disk. Some of the attackers ducked and took cover knowing (at least had some basic idea) what that attack could do, dodging it would be in their best interest. However, one of the ranged fighters reacted a second too late thus slicing his body in half horizontally and several guys behind him as well. A wave of blood soon cleansed the earth.

"NO!" shouted a civilian in much regret as he flashed Naruto his angriest glare. Taking the crossbow that belonged to a fallen soldier, the citizen quickly loaded it with an arrow and aimed carefully at the assailant where he slashed another warrior's head off with his sword and lowered himself quickly to plow the army knife right at the attacker's chest. Warriors were falling each passing second, with much rage in his heart, that soldier had just about enough, he had to take down that demon. "DIE!" he shouted as he fired at Naruto when the Death Knight wasn't even paying close attention. The moment that Naruto noticed that there was an arrow aiming for his head, he knew he didn't have enough time to dodge it. Gasping believing this was the end of his life, Naruto's heart sank immediately knowing that he failed. Pangs of regret reached his heart when he knew he could do nothing about it.

"Naruto!" called an unknown figure as he tossed down several needles to pin down that arrow. Naruto quickly got his composure back when he noticed those needles, he only knew one person that used those in combat, it had to be his Mist nin sempai, Haku. He nearly forgot about him but more importantly, why was he here? Where was he to begin with? How he arrived wasn't the concern right now, Naruto was just relieved to see someone to aid him, Haku couldn't have came at any better timing. As the Hunter-nin landed next to Naruto, he quickly launched an Ice Bolt right at the enemy attackers to create a brief suppressing fire. The enemies quickly reacted with much shock.

Since Haku's entrance wasn't all out stunning, the zealots had enough time to evade but still that entry was quite sudden overall, they didn't expect someone would be aiding that demon. They gasped slightly at that attack strength, if any of them got hit, they were sure that they wouldn't be alive right now.

Kiba grimaced immediately seeing Haku beside Naruto, Kiba knew that Hunter-nin was someone that would protect Naruto. Talk about fortunate timing for the opposing force, of course that would be rotten luck to Kiba. He thought he would have it easy with Naruto, it looked like trying to claim the ultimate prize would take a bit more work than initially planned. If his intelligence was correct, Haku was one of the strongest shinobis he knew. That Mist-nin wasn't someone that could be taken lightly despite any circumstances. It didn't take anyone smart to realize that Naruto and Haku were very dangerous opponents, but Kiba somehow felt excited towards Haku's sudden arrival. This was like killing two birds with one stone, when killing Naruto, who was a threat, he could demolish another threat. This was going better than planned indeed. If he wanted to interlude so much, why not allow Haku to accompany Naruto in his grave? Kiba was the type of person who would be more than willing to do that. What a cold hearted bastard indeed…

"Damn it," yelled an archer fidgeting angrily clearly annoyed. "Who the hell are you?"

"Heh," declared a cocky peasant. "Looks like it's one of those… weird looking shinobis." It was that moment that he pointed to crossbow again and fired. Noticing another wave of suppressing attacks heading their way, Naruto and Haku took on alert and leaped back to evade. As several arrows kept coming, Haku took out his melee weapon, a beam or chakra glaive, and slashed those arrows as if it were a nuisance. Seeing their attacks were nullified, the villagers gritted their teeth in anger and the melee fighters took charge at once. To support their comrades, the archers fired at an angle to create a safe covering fire for the melee attackers to advance, Naruto and Haku both grunted in anger as they both took precautions.

Once the flaming arrows struck the ground, fortunately missing them, the raging zealots emitted a loud battle cry and pursued their targets. Not hesitating at all, the Death Knight pointed his blade right at them to unleash the Forked Lightning right at them thus electrocuted 5 villagers into pieces of bloody meat. Anger rose from the crowd once again, Haku was beginning to worry if the two of them had the strength to defeat them all with their mindless rage.

"How did this happen, Naruto?" asked Haku in a hurry as he formed a set of hand seals while Naruto continued to give off assaults that could hold back the enemy. In spite of how glad the Mist-nin was to see his young friend again, this was obviously not the time to talk about old times, their lives were on the line here.

"How would I know…" growled Naruto not in a mood for talking for now. "That bastard Kiba told the entire village that I was back… and he promoted the decision to get rid of my demon!"

"What a bunch of fools," Haku responded as he finally completed his jutsu. "Torrential Wave no jutsu!" With a violent waving motion, the Mist nin summoned a wild tidal wave to smother the mob from coming any closer. This was a very lethal technique that does have the potential to kill a massive amount of people for the amount of chakra that was put into the waves wasn't anything close to low. Even so, Haku wondered if that attack would be able to stop them, their persistence was kind of frightening. Sure, it killed the front line people, but waves of them continued their rush.

"I don't care who you are," shouted a sharpshooter to the Mist nin. "But you die as well!"

"You wish!" yelled Naruto as he launched a Death Coil at that guy's face. As the coil of death struck the face, it immediately dealt an incredible amount of damage to the living cells. In a matter of seconds, the victim's head was nothing but a skull thus ending his life pitifully. "Take…"

"Naruto!" said the hunter nin as he held him by the shoulder. "We have to get out of here!"

"I am not going to run away, sempai!" retorted the assailant angrily. "These fateless…"

"If you continue to fight here, you will only do more harm to the village!"

"It's not like leaving now would cause them to cease their attacks!"

"Then at least fight at a place where no one else would get involved!" Getting that message, Naruto turned around and took off in a sprint towards the opposite direction. The hunter nin grinned knowing he got some sense into his good friend, he then fired a several more Ice Bolts before taking off as well. However, it was then when he heard the Death Knight engaging the battle with more forces, Haku now was beginning to worry a little bit more. As Naruto defended against a several knives that were thrown at him but destroying it, he violently raised his blade in an attacking position and viciously swung it to the right rushing the blade into a victim's chest.

"You think you can escape?" asked Kiba to himself smirking. "I don't think I can let you…" He knew Naruto would be doing everything as safe as possible, the safest option for the Death Knight would be fighting until he had the chance to run. Furthermore, Kiba wouldn't allow him to escape, not today. He already divided the troops in two ahead of time, one would remain at the South Gate while the other squad took another route and came from behind. Kiba was determined to capture him, and of course making sure he would deal the maximum amount of damage as possible from losing a minimum amount of men. Even with Naruto's movement capabilities, there was nowhere safe that he could go to, this was the end.

"Can't these guys just give up?" asked Naruto in an irritated manner as he glided backward while firing a series of Chain Lightning and a Forked Lightning for covering fire. Several men may have been killed but that still didn't cut it completely. As he landed back on the ground, he was back to back with the Mist nin completely surrounded. There were at least eight hundred men in front of Haku and around six to eight hundred at the rear, things weren't showing any promise at all. In spite of how far their capabilities have reached, two against fifteen hundred weren't a "fair" handicap to their knowledge. But this was fighting Kiba and Konoha, when was fair and honour in their rules or in their vocabulary?

"This looks bad…" said Haku taking a defensive stance, Naruto only smirked an insincere smirk as his understatement.

"You have made a mistake in helping me, sempai," warned the Death Knight as he took on his own guarding position. "I didn't want anyone else to get involved in this."

"Well, I can't let you fight against these odds by your own," explained the Hunter nin. "You will need my help, or you will be trampled like a daisy in a mad gold rush…"

"Nice metaphor…" commented Naruto not exactly in the best mood for a joke. At that moment, both shinobis' eyes cringed as they saw flaming arrows released into the sky coming down in another shower of fire. The duo could only expect the worst as the battle continued in chaos. Both of them quickly made an unexpected dash right to the enemy troops and pursued using melee combat. As the zealots were shocked at the unknown agility, they didn't have the time to be amazed as four of them had their heads removed in a flash. Naruto then flashed his deadly teal eyes at his adversaries, most of them jerked back seeing the intent put within them. "You had your chance to stop this… but you fools just won't learn…" Kiba gritted his teeth with anger, but soon ended with a sinister smile, things were only heightening, the climax of this was just coming… He couldn't wait until it was here.

(Elsewhere at the moment)

"I sense something… very… peculiar…" said Neji as his Anbu squadron stopped at the rooftop. The others three consisting of Rin, Lee and Sasuke also felt very uncomfortable for some time already. A very dark sensation roamed the air this evening inevitably. Konoha hadn't had this kind of disturbance in a long time, what could suddenly cause all of this?

"What was that?" asked Sasuke when he saw a several sparks in the distance. Rin noticed it too but chose to remain silent.

"It looks like a shooting star…" added Lee obviously doubting that possibly but he knew something was wrong.

"I'll check it out," said Neji as he formed a simple hand seal. "Byakugan!" With his lavender eyes now like a mirror, the Hyuga captain quickly scanned through the skies and other areas thoroughly to achieve the answer. Something was amiss, he was so certain of it.

"What in the heck was that?" asked Rin to Neji who had his bloodline limit activated to view what was happening near the South Gate.

"It doesn't look good, that's for sure…" said Sasuke in a low and deep voice.

"When was the sky raining fire ever a good sign?" asked Lee with a sense of rare dark sarcasm, a little annoyed as well.

"What is going on here?" asked the female archer rhetorically. When she saw Neji's eyes narrow in slight anxiousness, Rin and the others wanted to know what he saw. However, the next words that escaped his mouth shocked all of them badly, this really wasn't what they expected to hear.

"The fires that you saw were arrows," explained Neji. "To be precise, fire arrows…"

"Fire arrows?" asked Lee in slight shock.

"Why the hell would there be arrows being fired?" questioned the Uchiha.

"It doesn't end here," interrupted the Hyuga rather impatiently. "It looks like nearly the entire village is out there at the South Gate…" Suddenly, Neji narrowed his eyes and grimaced noticeably. "No way… how could this be…"

"What is it, Neji?" asked Sasuke now a bit worried.

"What do you see?" Rin asked tugging his arm. Neji couldn't even choke out the words that he was witnessing with his eyes. In his vision, he could see Naruto taking flight into the sky (obviously using very high skill use of chakra) trying to evade all the piercing attacks and possibly stones that were launched at him. Shifting from right and left and gliding in every possible direction, it wasn't long until Naruto was struck in the chest by a large rock. Even though he managed to get his composure back, the Death Knight refused to be beaten by such a simple attack. Leveling his primary weapon and giving a violent whip, he cast down a raging flame of fire downward to make the ground underneath temporarily into a sea of flames. Neji's eyes watched in horror as he witnessed defenseless but yet pitiful cowards being practically disintegrated into ashes. He never knew Naruto could be so merciless. At the same time, it was that moment when a legion of unexpected piercing attacks hit him in the arms and chest.

Being someone who could read chakra very efficiently, Neji noticed immediately that those arrows had a small twist at the tips. Their tips had chakra within it and heck, Neji knew what kind of tricks those people were pulling. As if having sharp objects in his flesh weren't enough, the arrows suddenly began to glow a bit before igniting in a ferocious bang. No doubt Naruto was yelling with pain and began to descend downwards. The villagers were cheering for this fortunate offensive, they clearly didn't hesitate to give out more of those. After all, their goal was to see the assailant dead.

Haku wasn't doing all that well either. Neji's eyes were able to see him as well, worry was something that grew within his heart. The Mist-nin was being suppressed and cornered, fighters from long range and close range continued to distract him from all directions. When Haku tried to commence his own counter assault against one of those melee attacking pests, covering fire would be provided elsewhere which made him completely stop and focus his attention elsewhere. It was a vicious cycle, and Haku knew it was only a matter of moments before he would fall into their hands. He couldn't put himself into that kind of disadvantage, he had to attack. Similarly, a kick then came for his face and smashed it quite hard.

Making a few backward flips and twists, Haku released a series of Ice Bolt, Storm Bolt and Mana Burn for suppressing fire. Even though his good aim killed a several people in one shot since he shot them all in head, not knowing how it happened, somebody tossed a boulder at his back thus he was literally stoned. In a flash, the Mist-nin's eyes narrowed when he saw a wave of arrows heading for him when he was on the ground. Smirking, Haku quickly leaped back to his feet with his glaive spinning rapidly to serve as a shield, the archer's grimaced angrily when they found their attack completely nullified. However, one of the snipers (a crossbow user) fired at the side without the Hunter nin knowing. The traveling speed was so quick that Haku had no time to react, a painful cry was heard when the arrow struck his left arm, and in no time, it exploded just like the ones Naruto experienced moments ago.

"Neji!" shouted Sasuke to snap his leader out of that trance. When the Hyuga heard that outburst, he quickly deactivated his eyes and faced them at last. Lee looked shocked at the sweating face that Neji had for he looked horrified. When did Neji have that kind of emotion? This is undoubtedly serious. Rin was beginning to worry herself, what did Neji see just now? Why wouldn't he talk?

"Neji," said Lee now a bit anxious to know what was actually going on. Without giving any warnings or precautions, the Anbu captain took off in a dash towards the direction of where the battle was commencing. Rin and the others didn't know what had gotten into him, but the face that Neji had earlier certainly told them that they should react quickly. Not questioning any further, the remaining three followed suit in a hurry.

"Hey," called Rin slightly behind her fearless leader. "What's happening?"

"This is not good at all," said the Hyuga male at last. "If you want to see Haku-san and Naruto alive, I suggest you guys ready yourselves for the worst arsenal you may ever witness." Those words stunned the three Anbus. That wasn't possible, how could this have ever happened?

"Is ni-san fighting?" she asked worriedly. "Who is he fighting against?"

"He is battling against the citizens of the village…"

"The citizens?" asked the Uchiha in anger and disbelief while increasing his speed. "Why would they do such a thing? That is absurd! Naruto didn't do anything to them!"

"I don't think they would need a reason…" said Lee sadly also picking up the pace. "Naruto does carry the demon… I think that would be just…"

"Damn those bastards…" cursed Sasuke audibly. "Who the hell is leading them? Konoha must have someone who is influential and persuasive for they never pulled this kind of stunt before…"

"I think I saw Kiba amongst them," said Neji as he leaped on another rooftop. "I saw him barking orders around like an abusive leader… It must've been him who got the people to do this… I got a feeling that it is him… Damn it…"

"What could Kiba have against Naruto, Neji?" asked Lee now wanting an answer.

"Ni-san never did anything to him!" exclaimed Rin defensively.

"I think it could be jealousy…" finished Neji having at least a safe assumption, the Hyuga captain knew his team frowned hearing it. As the four continued their pursuit to the battlefield that awaited them, all of them hoped Naruto and Haku could defend themselves until they got there.

(At the Hyuga mansion)

"Shino-kun," called Hinata as Shino made a quick farewell wanting to leave this place. The sooner he left, the chances of Hinata not knowing the truth would be greater. However, the Hyuga heiress was sharp, she halted the insect manipulator before he could pull anything off. Hinata knew he was trying to hide something, he wouldn't leave until she get what she needed to achieve from him.

"What is it, Hinata?" asked Shino using skillful drama skills to avoid the real subject.

"I think you should tell me what's going on," said the heiress very straightly.

"What is there for me to tell you?"

"Fine," Hinata stated as she walked a few steps closer to him. "Let me twist things a little bit... Did you find anything strange when we came back here?"

"Such as what, Hinata?"

"Didn't you find it kind of empty… the streets I mean, didn't you notice that only a several shops were open this evening when it should be still quite busy right now?"

"I noticed…"

"Don't you find it kind of strange that Konoha would be so empty in just one day?" Hinata continued to press on. "I wonder how it happened…" Shino couldn't even give a good reason, he couldn't just possibly say "Maybe everyone was tired", who would believe that kind of crap? It wasn't like Hinata didn't suspect anything, as far as Shino was concerned, the girl was suspicious about the entire awkward scenario earlier. Naruto's vigilance must've rubbed off on her, a several years ago Hinata would never be so alert, especially on the tiniest matters.

"I kind of noticed that," replied Shino in a calm voice. "What are you getting at?"

"Correction," said Hinata cutting him off abruptly. "What are you hiding from me? What did Naruto-kun say to you before he took off? Where did he go?"

"He told me to take you home and wait for him to return," answered the bug specialist not trying to create any leaks for her for catch.

"Why would he do that?" asked Hinata.

"Because…"

"I will tell you why, Shino-kun," the heiress now annoyed at the fact that her friend was refusing to say anything. "Naruto-kun would never surprise me in this method, if he was going to surprise me, he wouldn't be taking off like this and will not just ask someone who is more of an acquaintance to pull this kind of stunt on me. I know he is hiding something, you should tell me what it is."

"Naruto told me not to tell you," justified Shino. "And I won't break that pact."

"So something is wrong then…" When Hinata wanted to continue her statement, she was suddenly interrupted when four people came crashing in. To be accurate, it was more like one person in a deep panic while the other three hurried in shortly.

"Hinata!" shouted Sakura, who was the panicking amongst the three. The Hyuga girl was certainly surprised to see her best friend here, however, why were Tenten, Shikamaru and Ino here as well? "Hinata, Hinata, there is something that you should know!"

"What is it, Sakura?" asked the Hyuga girl politely trying to calm her down from that exuberance of hers. "What is it that you are trying to tell me?"

"It's bad news," said Ino in a low and serious voice.

"Very troublesome bad news…" added Shikamaru without the lazy look but replaced by sternness.

"Sasuke-kun contacted me earlier," explained Sakura in a real quick pace. "He told me not to tell anyone and for me not to worry but I can't!"

"What are you talking about?" asked Hinata not able to fully grasp her words.

"You should put it more specifically, Sakura," suggested Ino.

"Hinata won't understand what you are saying," said Tenten.

"Fine! Okay… Sasuke-kun called me and wanted me to keep this a secret but I was so worried… He and his team found out that Naruto-ni-chan is fighting against nearly the entire village! Haku-san is there too and the last thing I heard from Sasuke-kun was not to worry… but I am so worried! He also told me that if he didn't get there soon… ni-chan might die I don't know what to do!" At this point, Hinata's face paled. "I am so confused…" Shino wanted to slap his face but his pride told him otherwise.

"You knew about this… didn't you…" Hinata seethed the words out of her mouth with despair and danger. Shino knew who she was referring to… him. "You knew about this and you didn't tell me? How could you hide this from me?! Naruto-kun is about to die and you just tell me "Naruto told me not to tell you"? I am about to lose my fiancée and you want me to sit back and not do anything? I can't believe this!" She was furious, even Sakura and the rest took a step back.

Shino was certainly shocked at Hinata's scolding. To his knowledge, she had never scolded anyone. The only people that she may ever yell at would be Naruto and her future children if she decided to have any. Where was the shy, timid Hinata that he usually talked to? Come to think of it, Hinata always broke her shyness when she talked about Naruto, this time around she just lost it.

"Hinata," said Shikamaru kindly but deep down he was concerned about everything thus his mind was in an utter mess. "What good will it be if you yell at Shino?"

"Come on, Hinata," Tenten encouraged in the best way she could muster. "We don't want to do any more harm, right? Right now, we should plan to save Naruto. What good can you do if you just cry?"

"I… I don't know…" replied the Hyuga girl now wanting to weep. "I don't want him to die…" The weapon mistress only sighed with empathy, how could this ever happen?

"He doesn't have to if we look for him now, Hinata," said Ino hugging her good friend with a supportive tone in her voice. Shikamaru only wished Ino talked to him like how she was talking to Hinata at the moment. Well, if he intended to thin out his lazy attitude just by a little bit, maybe, just maybe, Ino would be a bit nicer to him. Being him, Shikamaru believed attempting to change was too troublesome but Ino loved him nonetheless for he was hardworking to please her, secretly of course. "Come on, I know Naruto would need help."

"We have to get going now," said Sakura holding the Hyuga girl's hand knowing that she must be in a lot of emotional distress. "We will be here for you."

"Oh, Sakura…" Hinata said with teary eyes with gratefulness.

"I want ni-chan and Sasuke-kun to be alright," continued the pink hair girl. "If we go, we can even out the odds just by a little bit. I am sure little means a difference in the long run."

"We can't let the village take away your fiancee now can we?" asked Ino trying to lighten things up when she herself was enraged at the thought of Naruto dying.

"We have to do this," said Tenten. "We can't lose Naruto again."

"We must hurry," finished the lazy jounin. "For the sake of Konoha's future… let's end this madness."

"Sure…" replied Hinata wiping out her tear. "Shino-kun… will you be joining us?"

"I think I should report this to Hokage-sama…" said Shino knowing Hinata had calmed down, the Hyuga girl weakly nodded, "I will be joining you guys shortly when I can." Ending that conversation, the five of them went their separate ways hoping to find the perfect solution. Shino knew he had to set things right now, he only hoped it was not too late for the Death Knight. Hinata, Tenten, Shikamaru, Ino and Sakura sprinted with the best speed they could muster to the South Gate, from this distance they could see the sky was showering down fire. The battle was still commencing, which was a half fortunate sign since the only way a battle to take place was if opposing sides existed. They really hoped they weren't too late…

(Currently at the battlefield)

"Kuso!" cursed Naruto as he went crashing forward due to a hit by a club on the back. In the corner of his eye, the Death Knight saw that attacker was a giant, his brute strength was clearly sufficient to break his interiors if he wasn't careful enough. Jumping to evade the incoming strike, Naruto in a frustrated impulse, made thrust around taking out his sidearm and fired at the brute's hand. Due to his misfortune, he missed.

Smirking confidently, the giant only took a rock from the ground and readied himself to smash that into Naruto's face. Just as the assailant wanted to activate a move, eight arrows struck him from behind. In less than second seconds, it violently exploded sending the Death Knight closer to his opponent. This couldn't be any better as the giant practically swung his hardest at the demon. However, his cunningness outsmarted the brawn man when the brute attacked nothing but air due to the Phase Shift. As Naruto returned to existence one second later with a dumbfounded fool, he slightly pulled his left leg back to project it into a forceful kick. Although the attack wasn't interrupted, Naruto's eyes opened in shock as the kick didn't even phase his opponent, his massive arm took the hit completely and was it an effective guard! Bad came to worse as the giant got hold of his leg, he immediately raised Naruto high in a hopeless stage and whipped him back to the ground crushing the stones that made contact with his skull. It was no surprise when the assailant vomited painfully.

Gritting his teeth in irritation, the Death Knight refused to be pummeled by a mere fool, he couldn't be beaten now, he had to live through this no matter what. Kiba will not cut short his life now, not when everything was starting to go accordingly. With a new rage developing inside him, Naruto flashed a glare angrily before pointing the gun at the giant's arm. Within a range that he would not possibly miss, the chakra flare pierced through the flesh in an instant. Howling in pain, which was like a serenade to Naruto, the Death Knight quickly twisted himself free from that deadly grip. In a swift thrust, Naruto jammed his blade into his gut and mercilessly pulling it back out along with fresh blood coming out like a waterfall. A dark smirk covered his face when he ended this poor coward's life but it wasn't the time to loosen his guard for more attackers were continuing to surround him. Naruto only tightened his blade to expect the worst possible case scenario even though pain continued to consume him.

"Naruto!" called Haku deflecting all projectile assaults using his two of his Demonic Ice Mirrors. Over these years, the Mist nin had developed an effective defense jutsu using his bloodline limit. His manipulation of water and ice had granted him to use his mirrors as reflectors. Not only could it defend against beams, it could also serve as a powerful shield to defend himself against physical attacks. A good comparison would be using Forbidden Gundam's side shields that can bend beams leaving it completely unharmed. Haku's technique served the same purpose. "We can't keep defending like this, we are being suppressed!"

"Don't you think I know?" asked Naruto rudely as he jumped high in the air while Blinking a several ten meters away. However, a large rock struck his back heavily causing him to fall. "We have no choice but to fight!" Naruto continued to speak as he jumped forward to avoid another boulder from crushing him.

"Have you considered having more people to help us?" suggested Haku in a loud voice. People… that was the solution! An idea came to Naruto's mind as he began to generate chakra in a quick pace into his blade. Once he landed back on the ground, Naruto formed a set of forbidden hand seals while the zealots only continued to rush at him not giving a damn about what he was planning. However, Naruto only snickered at their foolish actions that they were attempting. When those mindless zealots gotten into a close enough radius of Naruto, the front line attackers were miraculously electrocuted and burned by an unknown force. Kiba's expression changed from confident to shock when he sensed that highly concentrated chakra reflector, just what kind of technique was Naruto trying to pull off? With his smeared blade in his own hand, Naruto then continued his enchantment by slamming the point of the blade into the solid earth before creating a chakra ring on the ground. As the waves of energy formed visibly, it was time for the next phase. The others could only watch in horror as the essence sent chilling sensations down their spines.

"Revenants… Rise…" commanded the Death Knight when he released all the reserved chakra he was generating to this great summon. Once the summoning had begun, the earth violently erupted slightly along with a pitch-black aura of demonic energies. In a matter of seconds, four revenants appeared from the ground as if they were revived from the dead. All the villagers began to take paces back to achieve some distance when they witnessed the deadly stare the four revenants flashed. With their short fangs in a smile, it convinced everybody that they wanted blood, which they did. Kiba was either surprised or stunned, he was enraged. Why was he enraged? Jealousy would be a good justifiable reason. Again he was envious that Naruto had this much potential in holding his ground, any normal person would've been trampled by now! They would be in a condition that no one would be able to prove that the corpse belonged to the victim, but what was happening now? Naruto was still alive and calling in uncalled for reinforcements. However, evidence of fatigue was present on his features, which was very fortunate.

Calamity, Raider, Reaper and the new revenant, Forbidden were the elites that were summoned under that massive demonic chakra. All four of their appearances didn't change a bit over the years, they still contained that vampuric face and attributes, however, those smiles on their faces certainly gave the enemies another reason to fear them. The whip revenant Assailant perished during the last combat with Orochimaru, Naruto knew Calamity, Raider and Reaper grieved for this loss. Believe it or not, the revenant summoning were Naruto's own creation using his own chakra and Kyubi's. How he gave them life was from the spirits of fallen beasts thus Naruto and Kyubi gave them another chance to live as essences in a warrior form. Calamity was once a dragon, Raider was a hawk, and Reaper's body was a gryphon. No one else would have the identical summoning technique unless he blessed this to someone else.

It was quite a complicated process to create the method to send the revenants to the other dimension of where all the different summoned beasts were for these revenants were completely different, many of them feared these four vampuric youths. However, with Kyubi's capabilities, that was easily compromised. Ever since Assailant was completely destroyed, Naruto had no choice but to generate another revenant to fill in for the four-man team. The new one of course was named Forbidden. This revenant was not a spirit beast in the past, he was a fallen demon.

Forbidden was definitely the strangest summoning he had to face, not only was he strong, he had a sense of knowing creepiness around him. Calamity, Raider, and Reaper accepted him very soon for all four of them in fact were very dark people themselves. Forbidden's hair was not too long, but definitely long enough that he covered over half of the right side of his face. What Naruto admired about Forbidden was his ability to glare at people, it would silence them in an instant. With only his left eye visible to people, it was something that could prove quite intimidating. In terms of armaments, Forbidden also wielded a scythe, but the scythe was thicker and the tip of the rod also had a point to double the weapon as a spear or javelin while Reaper was like a grim-reaper. He was a specialist in melee combat, and hell he proved himself to be a very worthy friend and comrade. Believe it or not, these four revenants were Naruto's closest friends when he was a Hidden-nin.

"Hey," said Calamity with a snicker while opening his army knife to an attacking state. "This is something that you don't see everyday."

"I wonder why these people look so scared," added Raider also forming a sinister smirk.

"Do we look that unique?" asked Reaper taking out his scythe.

"Be quiet." Forbidden ordered narrowing his only visible eye.

"What the hell are you!" shouted a villager demanding an answer while Haku and Naruto both snickered. Calamity gave off one of his devilish smiles before answering, his voice seemed icy.

"So you are one of those pitiful foolish Konoha citizens," said Calamity with his voice in a cold monotone. "I certainly will have fun ending your pathetic lives."

"Naruto-sama," called Reaper. "What should we do with these people?"

"Just remember not to kill Kiba yet," ordered Naruto panting a little bit due to his major usage of chakra. "I… want to personally deal with him myself."

"So…" said Forbidden in a dark voice. "I can do whatever I want with the others, right?"

"You got that right," answered Raider for Naruto. "You can be very mysterious, you know, Forbidden."

"Whatever," replied Forbidden in a snarl, who already was no longer paying attention to him. Raider grunted audibly as of result. He hated when that spear revenant did that, he was even colder than the three of them combined! It wasn't a bad thing though, somehow this attitude fascinated them even more.

"Shall we continue where we left off?" asked Haku tightening his grip on his glaive ready for more decisive combat. With four more people helping the demon, the villagers and other ninja revolutionaries didn't have a clue in terms of how to proceed. By looking at the four summoned warriors, it was no doubt that all of them were incredibly powerful with abilities unknown. Making the wrong move now would cost everything, the last option they had was to go on berserk and charge in like wild beasts. However, as soon as Kiba began to bark out orders madly wanting the revenants dead, the four vampuric youths smirked knowing that must be the person Naruto was referring to. Hearing those orders, the foolishly loyal zealots took on charge towards the demons without even considering the consequences,

Forbidden, however, suddenly grinned as he made a quick glide towards them without saying a word. Shrieks came from the frontline attackers as the young revenant appeared right in front of them all, only a dark smile could be seen before Forbidden raised his scythe and made a powerful slash at the waist level. Once the scythe made in contact with the person's flesh, it sliced them into halves immediately. The revenant only smirked silently as five now dead villagers fell dead to the ground, he had to admit it was starting to get fun.

"He's strong…" remarked a chunnin with fear knowing Forbidden killed five people without any sign of hesitating. He safely assumed that Calamity, Raider and Reaper were equally or more powerful. What shocked him even more was how all four of them had the Death Knight's attitude. As if fighting one Naruto was hard enough, dealing was five was immensely more difficult. "Kiba, what should we do?"

"What do you think?" Kiba shouted with a growl of brutality. "Isn't it obvious that we have to destroy them and make them know what will happen to them if they oppose us? Use your head!"

"But these guys aren't normal…"

"I said destroy them!" commanded the beast master harshly, he clearly didn't give a damn about the others' safety. He could care less. "Use whatever method you could! I expect results, damn it!" The reluctant chunnin took a glance over to the battleground, a silent gasp escaped his lips when he witnessed his allies were now fighting a losing battle against those inhuman abominations. Each one who went up against them were given the gift called death, or meeting their maker. Without doubt, Kiba was enraged and infuriated, just when things were in his favour, that demon had to ruin the moment! His patience wore thin quickly, not giving a reason to yell out loud, he audibly ordered the rest of the mob to advance and run all of them over. Of course, Kiba didn't hesitate to use everyone to the fullest, they were like equipment to him after all. When Calamity noticed the men Kiba had at the backup lines were advancing their way, a snicker came across his face knowing he would be seeing a lot of death. What made his blood excited was that he would be the cause of it, what a glorious day it was.

"Looks like there are even more of them…" said Forbidden in a low voice as he pulled out the spear point out of another person's head.

"But it's not that fun if we just keep killing a bunch of nobodies…" reminded Raider as he jammed his trident into a man's crotch.

"Does it matter to you?" asked Reaper plowing his scythe in an archer's chest making a deep and unrecoverable cut. The sharpshooter yelled in pain before falling face first to the earth with blood continuing to flow out.

"It's not like they don't deserve it," finished Calamity as he took initiative to start a dash to engage the incoming troops. The remaining three smirked in response before following their leader's suit, they took flight into the air as they generated chakra into their weapons readying themselves for an aerial assault. The crowd gasped with fear when they discovered another frightening capability of these demonic summonings, and some of them chose to attack on sight. Raider grinned knowing their sudden attacks were due to pure fear, confidence wasn't something that he sensed at the moment.

"So many of them…" whispered Raider to himself when he raised his trident in a striking stance, "Destroy!" Swinging his weapon violently, a massive thunder strike was launched downward aiming perfectly at the pathetic sharpshooters who tried to shoot him down. Screams of panic were heard before some of the wiser ones actually had the knowledge to make a break for it. For the rest who didn't, Raider grinned darkly when he saw them disintegrating in the unbearable voltage. Their desperate actions of wanting to escape were futile and yet dramatic, the way their hand were in the air trying to grasp for the light was just so amusing. What an emotional display of drama! He couldn't believe how pathetic these fools could get, how low could they possibly sink? Not giving the zealots another chance to retaliate, he unleashed another lightning attack before diving down. The crowd shrieked with absolute horror knowing another onslaught was about to come.

"I'm blinded by them already," said Reaper amusedly while gathering chakra into his weapon. "Eat it!" Pulling his scythe back slightly to gain some more power, he unleashed a raging flame in a cone towards the mob that was in a distance. Ninjas who had good reactions quickly ran out of the way in a panic not wanting to be killed by it. But again, the vassals and peasants, who had no ninja capabilities and the best they could do was to hold a stick or a pitchfork, didn't even notice such a deadly wave of energy was heading their way until it was too late. Laughable screams of torment escaped their lips as the fires continued to incinerate them into pitiful ashes. It wasn't too long before their bodies violently exploded due to the intense amount of energies overloading their weak human system. Magnificent, as Reaper would say.

Not knowing what came over him, Reaper laughed out loud in a horrified manner. He, of course, wasn't horrified since it was the people who heard it that trembled. The survivors were angered immediately, how could they be mocked by a summoned warrior who wasn't even a human? Suddenly one of the chunnins then recklessly made a dash at the revenant clearly wanting to take his life. When the katana was inches away from Reaper's face, a glint appeared in his eye… When the chunnin finally noticed it (which was when he was about two inches away from him), a gasp was heard knowing he fell right into a deep trap. Raising one knee, Reaper jammed it into the zealot's gut making him vomit heavily. As the chunnin made a defenseless fall forward, the revenant made a shift to slam his left fist into his chest making the pathetic fool stumble back. Taking his scythe again in a striking stance, Reaper rushed the end of his weapon into his gut again, the chunnin then bent down as a response. In a split second, he was guillotined.

"Who's that bastard that's trying to hit me?" questioned Forbidden coldly once a several arrows were trying to strike his head. When he eyed the fearful archer with his left eye, a silent snickering sound came out of his throat before he charged right at him therefore slicing him in half vertically from the skull. A scream wasn't even heard this time, not that it mattered, it was getting a bit too noisy.

"You will pay for killing Kenny!" shouted a sharpshooter running towards him firing. The scythe revenant narrowed his eyes at their pointless persistent, when will they learn that the only way to save their own pathetic lives was to not fight? The more they fight, more pointless sacrifices would be made in order for humans to drop this foolish prejudice against Naruto. Why couldn't they realize that?

"Attack him!"

"Get him!"

"Shoot him at will!"

"Fire!"

"Shut up!" ordered Forbidden as his hand made a grappling pose. Wincing in silent anger, Forbidden unleashed a darkness beam from his hand. Once the beam captured those villagers, a strong sensation of pain and burning seared through them. Their facial expressions told all, it was evident that death awaited these men. They had their chance to redeem themselves yet Kiba's hatred easily blinded their judgment. Fools without minds of their own deserve to be killed, as Naruto would say, Forbidden followed the same principle. As the victims arched their bodies with agony, Forbidden smirked as their bodies soon were consumed by the darkness. In a flash, they exploded into bits of tender flesh, blood was splattered on the revenant's face and body as of result. With a lick to taste, Forbidden spat it out immediately. A fool was not worthy to any recognition, and their blood was no different.

"Hey," called someone from above to the demon revenant. The young warrior slowly looked up with a passive face devoid of any passion to see who it was. A bored look came across his face when he saw Calamity. However, the blood on his army knife certainly intrigued him to a certain extent.

"What?" asked Forbidden in a deep monotone avoiding any signs of interest to start a conversation, "If you have something to say, say it."

"Can you handle things here?" asked Calamity ignoring his attitude, he was very used to it.

"Yeah, how come?"

"I am going to check on how Naruto-sama is doing," explained Calamity. "Maybe he could use some help on the other side. I would need you, Raider and Reaper to hold these guys back."

"It'll be fine if you go," replied the scythe wielder as he fired a beam flare at a retreating soldier not even looking at him. The blast killed the wounded immediately. Calamity was certainly amused by that action, Forbidden only gave a cold look before looking at his leader again. "Trust me."

"Thanks, I will be going." With that, Calamity retreated back and took flight to where Naruto and Haku were engaging the fight with the rest of the mob. Calamity knew Naruto was very worn out after that kind of summoning, the only exception when he would not would be him in his Metamorphosis mode. If Naruto didn't have the amount of time to recover, Calamity was certain that he would be pummeled to the ground shortly. Not wasting any more time, the assassin revenant quickly gained more speed and prepared for any obstacles ahead.

'What…' thought Calamity as flares suddenly fired at him from a distance. Using his army knife, the assassin revenant performed a tornado like slash to destroy them in an instant. However, as he began to slow down, he noticed a wave of arrows came in from the left. Gaining more power, Calamity boosted further to the air thus avoiding the assault completely. As he looked down to the ground, he already spotted more than a dozen archers were aiming at him from below not releasing their arrows yet.

"Get out of my way!" ordered Calamity as he gathered chakra into his long knife. As a result, the sharpshooters released the arrows. Not hesitating any longer, Calamity dived down swiftly evading all their assaults before appearing right before them. Giving out a scream of terror, the revenant jabbed his heated blade into one of the archer's stomach. Taking it back out in less than a second with blood, Calamity then slashed heavily at another's throat cutting it off completely. For the rest of them, he released a dark raging coil from his left palm therefore shredding them into pieces due to the massive force. Suddenly, the revenant was hit hard on the head with a metal rod, Calamity held his head painfully before turning around to the fool who dared to attack him.

"Die, you monster!" yelled the villager in fear but tried to attack again. Without effort, the revenant reached out his left hand grabbing him by the collar. In a swift movement, the assassin yanked and threw him into the air. Using his army knife, Calamity unleashed an air like blade like a boomerang to the sky toward the defenseless peasant. As the blade reached him, it immediately sawed the person in half by the face. A tortured scream came from him before he violently exploded into bits. A satisfied grin came from Calamity before more weapons came at him from a distance, these fools just never cease to leave him alone.

(Elsewhere in the field of chaos)

"So," declared Haku blocking a club strike with his glaive. "How long do you expect me to look after you?" With that statement said, he lowered himself and slashed his opponent by the knees practically hacking them off. Once Haku finished with this person, a storm of chakra arrows came their way. The hunter nin tried to destroy as many as possible but a several broke through his guard thus striking him and Naruto who was behind. Both of them yelled in pain as the arrows exploded, that attack wounded Haku quite badly but Naruto's left arm was then unable to move as regularly as before. Naruto grunted hearing those words immediately.

"I am fine…" he coughed as an enemy's punch struck his chest due to his drastic change in movement after the summoning technique, he was much slower of course. As the fist reached for his face, he didn't even have the strength to Blink or use Phase Shift to avoid it, he simply took the hit completely. Grunting in pain while stumbling backwards, the attackers continued their rush completely seizing this chance of his weakness. Naruto immediately pointed his firearm at the incoming zealots, when he was about to fire, an arrow came in from the right and struck it out of his hand. Due to the sudden shock he received, Naruto loosened his grip on the gun, which exploded into pieces because of irregular chakra mixtures within. The death assassin didn't like this one bit, now he lost another method of defeating this chaotic mob, he had no choice but to rely on anything else that he had.

"Die!" screamed a male as he came in from behind Naruto and slammed a rake into his back. No doubt the Death Knight yelled in torment. Holding in the burning feeling now developing rapidly, Naruto smashed his right elbow into the enemy's face with full force. Torturously taking out the rake out of his bloody back, the assailant, using his right hand, angrily crushed the man's face with the end of the weapon killing him at once. Naruto then took a good glimpse at Haku, who just received a strong whack in the cheek with a metal rod. When Haku skidded on the dirt, Naruto knew he had no time to waste but he knew he had limited strength left.

Pulling out another assault knife with his weak arm, the Death Knight quickly generated chakra into the tip of the blade and practically whipped it out like a boomerang. This time, however, the mob snickered clearly knowing what kind of devastating effects it could deal. The crowd promptly shifted to the side as the beam knife whizzed by them not even making a scratch. Naruto twitched immediately with frustration.

"It's over, demon!" shouted a villager with a scythe raised over his head, he only a few feet away from Naruto. The assailant gasped noticing there were at least two other people in front of him as well, he was surrounded. At the same time, the beam knife came back towards Naruto's direction in a turn, in a matter of moments the three attackers were sliced in half from the waist thus killing them in an instant. The Death Knight snickered darkly as he regained his posture, he then grabbed the knife at the handle preparing to throw it again. It was that moment where Haku jumped in releasing Ice Bolts and Storm Bolts to stun the enemy literally. As he landed, the Mist hunter-nin quickly formed a set of hand seals for his jutsu.

"Torrential Wave no jutsu!" declared Haku as he called on forth crushing water waves at the immobile troops. Unable to move, a fraction of the zealots were immediately washed away to their deaths. Haku grinned at the results, it looked like he didn't lose his touch after all. Little did he know, two crossbow arrows were fired from afar unexpectedly in a flash, Haku's left shoulder and arm was badly struck and pierced as of result

Gasping at the next second, both shinobis observed the sky above as a rain of kunais, shurikens, and flaming arrows came down from above. The numbers were massive, not even Haku had the chakra to defend against this safely if he tried to protect Naruto, he knew the demon boy was drained after the summoning ritual. With his now seriously wounded arm, Haku knew he couldn't defend it fully. Kiba's smile continued to grow wider as each second went by, what he witnessed right now was a weak Death Knight and a tired looking shinobi who had no idea what he should be doing. It was either save himself and let Naruto perish, or attempting to save both but resulting in severe injuries afterwards thus causing their own death. It was over for them, his dreams were going to come true!

"I won't let you!" shouted an unknown male from above making a hand seal of the Tiger. "Fire Element: Dragon Fire no jutsu!" Hearing that technique, Kiba and Naruto realized that must've been Uchiha Sasuke. As soon as the attack was declared, a breath of incinerating flames came out of his mouth in a cone thus disintegrating all the weapons that were casting downward to the two youths below. Naruto and Haku gasped at the power Sasuke had put in his attack, they couldn't believe he was able to summon that. Even though both used their arms to defend themselves from the heat that was emitted, Naruto had to admit it was incredibly hot despite his abilities. At the same time, the duo were relieved somewhat knowing help was on the way. If the Uchiha was here, his comrades would be here too.

Kiba, on the hand, was boiling with fury. How dare he neutralize that death blow when the moment was his? This was uncalled for! He had no right to interfere but yet he did! Frustration and arrogance led to vengeance in a split second. As of that point on, Sasuke will die as well. He didn't want to do this but that Sasuke left him no choice, he would die as well for being intrusive. No one would stand against him, not even if he was a friend.

"Sasuke…" Naruto managed to choke out his words under his exhaustion. "Why…"

"Hey, Naruto," said Sasuke giving a slight grin with Neji landing beside him one second later. "How are you?"

"Your timing can't be any better…" said Haku using his glaive as a support.

"Good to see you too, Neji…" whispered Naruto coughing a bit.

"Likewise," Neji responded with a smirk, more of a friendly smirk to be precise.

"Ni-san!" shouted a youthful girl, Haku and Naruto knew exactly who it was. In a whirl, Rin was already on top of her brother kissing him madly everywhere on the face. "You're okay, you're okay! I am so glad that you are still alive!" She then kissed him again. Lee, who just arrived, narrowed his eyes at her exuberance. Neji, Haku and Sasuke didn't know whether to smile or to be exasperated. Sure, it was great to see Rin happy but the mob was still here.

"Rin-chan…" said Naruto trying to pry her off while she continued to kiss him.

"I'm sorry…" she said sheepishly with a blushing face, she then noticed the blood. "Ni-san… you're hurt… Sempai… you're hurt too…"

"We still have this mob to deal with, remember?" asked Haku not very pleased with this hopeless situation. The Mist nin then pulled out the two arrows that were inside his arm, he had to admit that it felt similar to a fire trying to cook him. Lee took a good look at the chaotic battlefield, it was all smeared with blood, dead bodies were lying there helplessly, what shocked him was some of them were dissembled into pieces of meat or sliced in half. What made Lee and the others who just arrived were the battling sounds nearby, screams of terror rose from the vicinity, they could even feel the chakra of these unknown people were incredibly powerful. It was then another tortured roar was heard that caused all of them to wince slightly, Naruto clearly knew who had the potential to make someone do that, it must've been Forbidden.

"How dare you help that demon?" questioned a surviving villager.

"You guys are supposed to be Anbu members! You should be helping us!"

"Yeah, we have to eliminate any threat to Konoha! Join us!"

"That 'demon' happens to be my brother!" yelled Rin very angrily. "I won't let you!"

"So," said a cocky civilian arming with nothing but a rake. "His sister, you say? You must be a demon too, witch!"

"He is one of my best friends," declared Neji solemnly as his cold lavender eyes began to engage the Byakugan. "How can any of you be so foolish to continue this prejudice?"

"He…"

"Just kill them all!" came a voice from the back. Everyone's attention turned to the person who was in charge of this master plan, Inuzuka Kiba. Sasuke gave a deadly scowl immediately, just what kind of person would jeopardize the entire village just because of insane obsession over someone? If he wanted Hinata so badly, what not try doing things the honourable way instead of literally killing off the competition? The unforgivable part was how he had chose to drag everyone down with him, he HAD to make everyone sink to his level and blind them from the truth. How can Konoha be this ignorant? Why can't they drop all this and live in peace? Sasuke could tell several hundred people already lost their lives this day, how many more must be ruthlessly wasted before the discrimination ends? Kiba was the one who deserved to be killed, the others didn't in spite of how foolish they were. "What are you people doing, kill off those Anbus as well!"

"But Kiba sir…" mumbled a villager nervously. "Their numbers are increasing…"

"No buts!" barked the beast master. "You will do as I say! Anyone who associates with the demon is our enemy! They are no different!"

"Kiba!" shouted Neji trying to control his rage. "Why are you doing this?"

"How could you lead this act of monstrosity upon our friend?" asked Lee also angry. "What did he ever do to you? What ailed you to do this?"

"Stop reasoning with that dumbass," Sasuke stated with a snarl.

"We are trying to make things better," Neji said silencing him, or at least attempt to. "Try to continue this rationally, okay?"

"Do you seriously expect him to stop this act now?" questioned the Uchiha giving a stare. "I know Kiba well enough, if he went this far, he isn't going to stop now…" Hearing those words, Rin, Lee and Neji cringed while Naruto and Haku only remained silent.

"Our authority means nothing to him, ne…" asked Rin not very content that this battle will have to continue. "Damn that bastard…"

"Have you noticed that he hasn't done a thing yet?" asked Naruto with a smirk trying to get up. Rin could tell he was quite low on chakra, luckily she bought something to heal that. It was then when Haku was beginning to catch on. "Ever since this entire thing started, Kiba only ordered others to fight, he never moved a muscle other than his frantic arms trying to command his slaves."

"What was that?" growled Kiba knowing the Death Knight said something. Naruto only gave off a devilish laugh, which caused everyone to stop, and that was including his allies. "What's so funny?"

"You are such a coward!" said Naruto still laughing, not necessarily finding this scenario to be funny. "You don't have the guts to face me like a man, so you want others to do the job for you. You are willing to send everyone to their deaths just because you are obsessed with Hinata! You don't give a crap about them because you want to get what you want! This is your obsession, don't get others involved into this, you son of a bitch!"

"Shut up!" yelled Kiba. "How dare you mock me? I still have you outnumbered, demon!"

"What?" asked Naruto now clearly making fun of Kiba deliberately, "What was that? I have you outnumbered because I am a coward and have no courage to fight Naruto like a man? What?" This enraged Kiba while Rin and the others smirked.

"A person like you having eyes on my cousin?" questioned Neji threateningly. "I will never allow a selfish bastard near her…"

"Why is someone like you still alive…" Lee spat with serious disgust.

"And these people who have no minds of their own are no different from that monster," added Rin as she unsheathed her katana. "If they had a conscience, they would have never begun this to begin with…"

"I don't care if you guys are Anbu," shouted Kiba pointing at them dangerously. "But defending that demon… You will die! Once I get all you guys out of the way, I will have Hinata! Yes… just as long as you all stay quiet permanently… I will have no trouble… I am victorious!"

(At that split second)

"Victorious, you say?" questioned a firm but collected female voice from nowhere. Silent gasps came from Naruto and the others when they heard this voice, it held so much deadly anger behind it that it silenced them immediately, everyone reverted their attention from behind Naruto, a shocked expression filled their faces when they saw who it was. The Death Knight wanted to collapse right there and then. It was no other than Hyuga Hinata, along with Haruno Sakura, Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru standing on a branch looking rather fierce at the crowd. Hinata's solemn stand was something to be feared for. After long years of learning from Hiashi how to stand her ground as a Hyuga Heiress, Hinata's image currently was an intimidating one.

"Hinata," choked Sasuke when he noticed her extremely rare icy aura. When it came to Naruto, she could do anything. The girl only gave the Uchiha a smile before facing the zealots with a solemn face. Kiba was blinded at the moment to even notice how frustrated the girl was, her beauty softened him, it was so like a fool to react in that manner. Sakura jumped down to where the assailant was, she was so glad that he was alive. Shikamaru and Ino leaped down as well while Hinata began to take steps towards the leader of the mob.

"Ni-chan!" she exclaimed taking him in an embrace. "You're safe!" Rin and Naruto smiled as of result but paid closer to what the Hyuga girl was doing. As the zealots began to engage her, she simply Blinked ten meters forward thus making them collide to one another. Another wave wanted to attack her again but Kiba promptly ordered them to stop and allow the gorgeous Hinata to approach him. The attackers wanted to protest since they could tell from her face that she was definitely despising Kiba and possibly wanted him dead. The dog tamer, however, refused to believe such a thing and allowed Hinata to continue. The Death Knight and the others watched with both shock and amusement. Plus, they really wanted to know what was going to happen next.

'You are so clueless, Kiba…' thought Tenten as she went by to Neji.

'Does Kiba have an idea what Hinata is going to do to him?' thought Ino who held Shikamaru's hand tighter for security.

'How stupid can a person be?' asked Sasuke in his head holding Sakura's hand. By this time, Hinata was already in front of Kiba, hiding all of her emotions from him. Kiba on the other hand was ever so delighted to see the heiress so forward, this must be a sign of victory. He then snickered at Naruto confidently, he proved that Hinata picked him over the demon. Now Naruto will be heartbroken that his lover left him. In a saddened stage, Kiba would be able to silence him permanently.

"Hello, Hinata!" said Kiba brightly, his attitude changed 180 degrees.

"Hi," replied Hinata devoid of any emotion.

"Are you glad to see me?" At this point, Haku wanted to laugh.

"Yeah," said Hinata sweetly. Suddenly, her fist made contact with the clueless idiot's face sending him crashing back. Naruto now wanted to laugh but his self control took the better of him. Kiba got back up painfully as he touched his cheek where Hinata hit him, he couldn't believe that she would do that. However, his shock turned into rage as he stood back up with a fierce glare into her eyes. Hinata only stared right back, she heard everything he had said earlier, there was no possible way that she would let this go.

"Why did you…"

"I would like to see you dead," said Hinata wanting to spit at him but her good manners forbid her to do so. "That's what I would want to see from you."

"No, that can't be… you can't hate me!"

"I will, and I have every reason for it." Not giving any signs of wanting to attack, she did something that no one ever expected, Hinata heavily kicked Kiba in the crotch. A tortured howl was heard right afterwards, even Naruto and the gang felt sorry for him to experience that. The beast boy fell on his knees holding his private area while the girl looked down at him pitifully, he really did look pathetic, if he wasn't so useless she would've have at least a bit of pleasure kicking him. Kiba only glared angrily before words came painfully out of his mouth.

"Finish me then…" snarled Kiba telling her to get on with it.

"No…" replied Hinata softly, her voice was as cold as ice. "I don't have the right to take your life," Everyone reacted differently to her words but surprise was in all of their minds. "Of course, I should really kill you for trying to take my Naruto-kun away from me but… I will be ruining Naruto's pride as a warrior if I interfered. Naruto would want to defeat you without anyone backing him up, that way he would feel the strength of absolute victory, he will know that he found his happiness because he earned it himself." Once again, he raised her leg and jammed her foot into his face to make him soar backward crashing into a tree. Some of the chunnins were shocked at the cold treatment the Hyuga girl gave to their leader, she defeated him like he was nothing, and she was not even close to breaking a sweat.

"Uh… Kiba…" said a chunnin awkwardly. "What do we do now?"

"What does it look like!" shouted the dog master holding his face in much more torment now very agitated. "Kill her too! Obliterate!" Nodding promptly, the chunnin and the rest took on charge onto the young Hyuga heiress, a beam fired from above halting the zealots from advancing. All of them looked up to the sky; the zealots trembled. Kiba's eyes twitched, Naruto, Haku and Rin smiled while the rest had no idea what those four people were. Neji and the others winced a bit seeing the revenants, they were all bloody from face to feet. What scared them a little tad bit more was how unaffected they were when blood was smeared all over them, if Neji caught their expressions accurately, he was certain that they liked killing.

"It's over," said Forbidden coldly without much emotion as he lowered his scythe which was dripping down fresh blood.

"What is over?" Kiba demanded an answer immediately. "Explain yourselves!"

"Why do we need to explain to a fool like you?" questioned Raider licking the blood on his arm. The remaining three only snickered. "You look like such an idiot…"

"What did you say? Repeat yourself!"

"I would be laughing if you didn't look so pathetic," replied Reaper snickering. "Oh, what the hell, I will laugh anyway." As the revenants began to laugh darkly, Naruto began to chuckle himself in the same attitude. No doubt this only ticked Kiba off to another level. Forbidden wondered if the beast boy should have his blood pressured check if he would come out of this alive, he had been getting pissed way too easily today.

"Those nobodies were hardly a fight," explained Calamity as he threw Kiba a head that he sliced off from a peasant. Sakura, Tenten, Ino, Hinata, Shikamaru and Lee gasped at how Calamity reacted when he tossed the head, there was no sign of fear or remorse on his face. He did it as if a head disassembled from a body was one of the most natural things in the world. Even though Hinata dealt with deaths and blood frequently, if someone ordered her to hold a head (not skeletal skull), she would possibly go pale and faint. "Just in case you are wondering, yes, they are all defeated."

"You… creations of monstrosity killed them?" Kiba asked now in denial.

"Well, they are dead or going to die," answered Calamity smirking.

"It only leaves you people…" Forbidden stated as he looked around at the survivors, a smile crept on his face when he noticed there were plenty of them left. Without difficulty, Forbidden tilted his head to the right to avoid an arrow that was aimed for his skull. He then turned around and flashed a glare at an archer who was hiding in the bushes. A smirk came across his face as the archer began to run away from his spot in fear. "So… you were trying to hit me from behind?" In a flash, Forbidden gripped his scythe and dived down at high speed preparing to annihilate. The archer only bawled in fear as the revenant hacked him in two, the outcome of it was the sharpshooter exploded violently into shreds and a rain of blood was formed. "Anyone else…" At that moment, the whole mob couldn't take this anymore. They did what their instincts told them to do, flee with fear.

Everyone (other than Naruto), especially Haku and Rin, were dead frozen. They couldn't believe this revenant was a cold blooded murderer who kills and wouldn't even shed a tear for the fallen people he had slain. Forbidden was so much like Naruto in his uncontrolled Metamorphosis form but this revenant seemed to have a very clear understanding in terms of what he was doing. With this fact in mind, it made him even more lethal, he was more feared than all of the revenants combined.

"Forbidden," called Calamity warningly. "Don't go after them!"

"Why not?" he asked while flashing his leader a glare of disagreement, "It's not like you don't want to kill them."

"We have done enough killing in one day!" shouted Raider.

"We have our limits too," stated Reaper. "If they run away because they had enough, let them go."

"Sure, I won't go after them…" replied Forbidden closing his left eye grinning, Calamity knew he was up to something. It was then when the demon revenant held his scythe like a javelin, Naruto's eyes widened immediately. "But I won't let them escape…"

"What?"

"I never let any fools survive!" Finishing that statement, Forbidden whipped his scythe at the direction of where the mob retreated before Calamity could stop him. As the weapon flew past the zealot troops, it struck the ground in front of them. Instantly, it began to send dark energies to the earth in an erupting manner. Knowing the potential dangers, the mob continued to run frantically trying to survive. However, it wasn't long before the ground erupted in the largest pitch black ignition anyone had ever witnessed. The most horrified cries were heard from the distance before they can no longer emit a sound from their body. The remaining people watched the explosion with a hopeless expression of terror, aside from Naruto who was smirking, they were also speechless. They all knew everyone who went toward that direction was killed without question. Horrified looks soon formed into regret and guilt while Forbidden only smirked. The entire mob was killed… no one survived other than Kiba who was on the ground in pain.

"Forbidden…" hissed Raider angrily. "Why…"

"I will have a sweet dream tonight," said Forbidden without emotion, "Later…" Without another word, he then disappeared in a cloud of smoke to return to his world.

"Damn him…" cursed Reaper as he followed suit. The remaining duo did so as well leaving the youths to themselves.

"Looks like you're the only one left, Kiba," said Naruto as he stood up refusing Rin's help. "You are going to have the worst death of all…" Kiba winced immediately, Akamaru only barked to support his master.

"Naruto-kun," said Hinata softly running to him to see if he was in decent shape. "Isn't this enough? Can't we just take him back to the village and allow him to suffer the jurisdiction of Konoha law?"

"No, Hina-chan," replied the Death Knight with a grin. "The jurisdiction of Konoha will not be enough… He will die for trying to take you away from me…"

"Naruto," called Neji. "Don't go too far, okay?"

"We still need to bring a small evidence back," remarked Sasuke grinning.

"Do you need some soldier pills before you fight, ni-san?" asked Rin. Naruto simply shook off the kind offer from his baby sister.

"Hey!" yelled Kiba in disbelief with Akamaru supporting him. "You Anbus are supposed to be helping me!"

"It's not like you don't deserve to die," commented Tenten coldly.

"You wanted to hurt Naruto-ni-chan!" added Sakura with the same emotion.

"Cold blooded bastard…" said Ino clearly wanting him to perish painfully.

"You disgust me…" That was all Shikamaru said before Kiba felt cornered.

"Enough talk," said Naruto as he dashed at Kiba with his weapon on his right hand. Seeing his enemy advancing with speed, Kiba did what his instincts told him, he told his tool to attack.

"Akamaru, attack!" Barking promptly, the hound did what his master told him and attacked in a bite. Naruto snickered as he shifted to the right dodging a snap bite aimed at his left arm.

"You are such a coward," stated Naruto as he leaped away from the speedy hound. "I could only expect such an act of incompetence from a piece of crap like you."

"He is my ninja tool!" justified Kiba loudly.

"Yeah, because you have no ability or courage to take me on yourself," Naruto said taunting him.

"That's it!" the beast master shouted with frustration as he began to engage to fight himself. Noticing that he had the will to fight, it was time for Naruto to get more serious despite his wasted state.

"You won't be needing him," said Naruto to no one in particular as he pulled back his blade and gave the hound a slash in the body. Kiba's eyes widened with shock as his loyal dog fell to the ground helplessly, and what made him feel guilty was how he couldn't have done anything to stop it.

"You bastard!" he screamed as he angrily used his beast like claws to slash Naruto. Using his left arm, Naruto saved himself from the claws to reach his face. However, due to the slight fractured state, the Death Knight flinched noticeably which Kiba caught. Smiling victoriously, the dog male then made a very determined effort to damage his left arm further. Being Naruto, there was no possible way he would let them get away with catching his weakness. The assailant tilted to the right and raised his blade once Kiba's attacks came in a barrage. It wasn't long before a claw attack struck Naruto in the face thus giving Kiba a chance to strike again. Utilizing a slight thrust, Kiba gave a wild spin kick to his stomach thus Naruto vomited with pain. "It's over, Naruto!"

"Not yet…" gasped the assailant when he noticed a wildfire of kunais came at him. Naruto soon spun his blade in a whirlwind like motion using one hand blocking every single weapon before it reached him therefore nullifying it. As of result, Kiba only tried again but a several smoke bombs were within as well. Once Naruto made it contact with the bombs, a thick cloud of smoke surrounded him fully. The consequences to that of course was to blind his vision. However, as he pumped more chakra into his eyes, Naruto easily scanned through it without difficulty, that was when he sensed Kiba coming in from the right at incredibly speed.

"Die, demon!" yelled Kiba as he prepared a deadly claw strike aiming at Naruto's head. However, as soon as the Death Knight turned with a glint in his teal eyes, Kiba sudden gave off a cold sweat. He recognized that look Naruto carried, it was the same one when he bought the flute… that was how he looked at him when Naruto shattered his plan. If that was the case, again Kiba's sneak attack was known to the dark assailant. When Kiba tried to maneuver himself to attempt another attack for this one was doomed to failure, it was too late when Naruto suddenly jammed his knee into his gut. The pain that he experienced was stifling, Kiba knew the reason for Naruto crushed a several ribs during the process. But with one kick, how did anyone do this? As he slowly retreated while holding his aching part of his body, the Death Knight only smashed his foot further into his chest area, as a result, Kiba was send six meters back and fell clumsily on his back.

"You're right, Kiba…" said Naruto in a deadly tone with evident signs of tiredness. "It is over…" As the Death Knight held tightly onto his blade, Kiba sweated with fear as he witnessed a radiant glowing green energy emitting from the runeblade. It was so concentrated and it also carried a deep feeling of darkness. At this moment, Nightshadow was similar to a thermal energy weapon that could slice through anything. From the exhausted features on Naruto's face, Kiba and the others who were watching could tell that must be the last of Naruto's chakra, it would be his death blow. With his ribs completely crushed in two kicks, Kiba was in too much pain to run.

"Naruto-kun…" whispered Hinata to herself as she had her hands on her chest.

"No!" yelled the revolution leader. "I was supposed to be the victor! I am supposed to win! You should be dead! I can't lose to you!" The assailant only gave a weak grin darkly.

"Too bad…" said Naruto still holding his blade in a striking position. "You thought wrong… I guess I am very persistent in living… To be with Hinata… is something I don't want to give up. And for trying to take it away from me in the most disgusting way, I want to reward you with the gift of seeing hell!" It was then when Naruto, using all the stamina he had left within him, took a dash and prepared to end the defenseless fool's life with the deadly Death Pact.

"No…"

"Death Pact!" shouted the Death Knight loudly as he leaped a several feet with his blade raised, ready to make a vertical slash. Kiba didn't have the courage to look at Naruto in the eye, he didn't want to face death. He couldn't accept that this was the end of his life, he lost to Naruto again and this time his life was the cost of failing. No, this shouldn't be, he kept telling himself in his mind, but he knew it was over, literally. At that instant, something ran right between Kiba and the Death Pact weapon right before it reached Kiba's head. As a searing sound was heard in front of him, Kiba was shocked that he wasn't the one who was attacked. However, his eyes were filled with sadness and horror when he saw who defended for him. Naruto gasped with wide eyes when he found out he struck the wrong target, he wasted his entire attack on the wrong enemy… but what surprised him was why this thing saved Kiba's life. As the Death Pact blade made contact with the head, it sliced the incorrect target from head to toe thus cutting it in half, blood seared out of the injuries like a spout. Kiba was dumbstruck when he saw the small fella divided into two by a deadly green chakra for a second before exploding into pieces of useless mush and garbage. Everyone else was stunned but somehow Kiba was devastated, his eyes were filled with pain, sorrow, regret, but most noticeable one was rage. He then made the most ferocious glare that Naruto has seen…

"AKAMARU!"
