Chapter 4

"Brothers.....?" Naruto stared at the blue haired demon. With no warning whatsoever the demon attacked. Flying in with a solid one hundred- eighty degree spin kick. Naruto ducked down to the left and planted his hands down on the ground, sending both feet straight into the demon's hideous face, and sent him flying into a small merchant's cart, utterly destroying it. A low chuckle floated from the wreckage and the demon rose.

"My, I seem to have underestimated you. That kick wasn't half bad. My brother's charka must have leeched in to your own system a little bit. But that will not save your skin. I'm an elite demon! Just below my brother's status. You don't stand a chance." Naruto smirked. With movements fluid like a fox Naruto pulled out a kunai and twirled it once.

"Big talker for some-Thing that just got it's head kicked in to a cart." Naruto charged head on into the sinister demon, thrusting the kunai at it's neck. It caught Naruto by the hand and flung him behind his back, sending Naruto for a swim in the pond. The demon chuckled again.

"You think that a piece of metal will do me in? how ridic-" He never finished . The exploding tag on his left leg incinerated his limb.

"ARGHHHHHH! YOU PIECE OF SHIT. I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR HEART OUT AND USE IT FOR A LIQUOR SKIN!" Naruto "climbed" on to the surface of the water, using his charka to stand on the surface as if it were solid.

"Naw, but the exploding tag might do the trick." Naruto wiped away a little blood from the corner of his left lip. To Naruto's surprise, the demon laughed. Then his surprise turned to shock when the demon's leg regenerated. The low chuckle became howl of insidious laughter.

"Laugh at this! Kage Bunshin No Jutsu! (Shadow Clone Technique)" Two clones appeared at Naruto's side. He held out his hands and both created Rasengans in each hand. The demon raised an eyebrow as Naruto drove the left Rasengan in to the ground. The power ripped through the ground and went straight for the demon. With ease it jumped and landed on a nearby roof, with a grin on it's face, which soon disappeared when he saw that Naruto had just appeared at his right, the remaining Rasengan heading for his skull. With speed that defied logic, the demon slapped away Naruto's hand that held the Rasengan, breaking the hand in the process. Naruto went spinning and he fell right off the roof. The Rasengan hit the ground and created an immense crater. The demon slouched forward, chuckling deeply.

"Is that the best the Hidden leaf village has to offer? It is quite sad, there was such better prey before my brother was sealed. How times can-" Four shurikens embedded themselves in his chest. It slowly turned it's head and saw that Ten Ten had finally stepped in to the fight.

"You think yourself worth my time? You are so weak that even if I were to tap you head it would crumble."

"I won't forgive you! You hurt Naruto!"

"Aw, so your in love with the runt? I think I will give you the pleasure of being killed slowly by my hand." Ten Ten stepped back, falling into a defensive stance. Yet it was no use. The demon was just too fast. He appeared in front of her while she was still looking at the illusion he had left on the roof. She was able to snap out of it as the demon's clawed hand shot for her throat. Yet it never landed. A huge red clawed demon hand smashed the cloaked monster right in to the ground. Ten Ten flew back from the aura of the huge limb. She sat up and looked to were it came. Her eyes widened in shock as the arm was coming all the way from the crater in which Naruto had been beat in.

The struggling demon screamed. All the bones in his body were broken. And his demon power was not regenerating.

What the hell?! There's no mistaking this claw. It Kyuubi's!! The Hell!?

The gigantic claw lifted slowly, the demon unable to move at the moment. Ten Ten was thunderstruck unable to move her limbs. Instead of moving herself the monstrous hand moved over to her and gently pushed her aside, with tender care.

"Stand back Ten Ten....I...cannot control myself for too...long.." The voice was not even remotely Naruto's, although the sound came from the hole were he was. The arm which was Kyuubi's retracted in to the hole, The evil aura subsiding, but not completely.

A hand grabbed the edge of the crater and Naruto pulled himself out. His face towards the ground, a red demonic glow surrounded his body. Ten Ten threw aside her fear and rushed toward Naruto but He raised his hand to stop her

.
"....." Naruto's ragged breathing steadied after a few seconds and he finally raised his head. Blood red cat eyes met Ten Ten's.

"N-Naruto...what's happened to you?"

"Hehehe...had to use one of my aces…coughs up blood Guess you'd have never known. Sorry you had to find out like th-" Naruto stopped mid sentence at the sound of the demon stirring.

"You think is this over? You little puke faced punk. I'm going to rip my brother straight from your stomach!! My body has healed as it always will, You can't beat me!!!" Just as he finished his last words he threw himself at Naruto, fire igniting in both clawed hands. Naruto turned toward the oncoming danger and lifted his arms, his broken hand already healed from the Kyuubi's power. A few feet above Naruto two enormous black clouds separated by several feet appeared. On Naruto left the same giant red demon hand shot out and snatched the enraged on coming demon in mid-air. It struggled with all it's might and succeeded in nearly forcing open the hand but it was in vain. The black nails of the Kyuubi's hand pierced through the armor and into the body of the demon. Horrendous screams rippled through the Hidden leaf village. Blood rained down splattering on Naruto, soaking his usual orange outfit. With the still screaming demon in the massive hand, it drew near the other black cloud. The nearly lifeless demon lifted its head with it's remain strength and saw two flaming red eyes peering from the darkness.

"Bro..ther....you...have come.....to help....Me?" A malevolent laugh rang out, a laugh that stole the warmth from every person in the village, man, woman, or child.

"Help you? I never liked you. Always a knife ready to stab any one in the back. No no. This kid here...I've decided to lend my charka in exchange for small favors. But this I'll do for free. This I will take much pleasure in killing you!"

"Wait! Broth-!" Faster than he could speak The demon was shoved inside the cloud and the sound of flesh being ripped away and bones snapping resonated in the village. Both clouds vanished in to nothing. Naruto's ragged breathing seemed the only sound that indicated anything lived in the surrounding area. Everyone was thunderstruck. None had the courage nor the will to even move from their spot, fearing somehow the Kyuubi would come back. Naruto looked around and examined Ten Ten's face. All he saw were what looked liked fear filled eyes, it was hard to tell because his own blood was hampering his vision; running in to his eyes. Sadness welled up with in his heart. He knew not a single person in the village would even want him to stay there. The cold stares and rough words behind his back had begun to ease up after he had brought back Sasuke all those years back. Everyone had finally begun to accept him as a ninja of the Hidden Leaf. But as he looked in to one person's eyes after the next he knew everything was lost. Finally Naruto turned back to Ten Ten and spoke one simple sentence. His sorrow clear in each word.

"Sorry I ruined our date." Naruto turned and leapt on to a roof of an apartment complex and disappeared
