Naruto: Heart of a Sadist, Chapter X
A/N: This is the first of the chapters I have written; however it isn't chapter 1 or 10. The M rating is only due to the violence and strong language which may follow or already be here. Although the rating is M, it is only harmful to sensitive readers. Feel free to give any ideas, comments or criticism.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto™, only the original characters and storyline.
Naruto smiled. "This fool; to try and attack me so suddenly. What does he know of me that makes him so confident?" Naruto mocked lightly. The said attacker stood calmly, the ground beneath him seemed erratic, and Naruto could see traces of small stones rising off the ground. The young man not 5 meters from Naruto was analysing him, maybe to observe Naruto's reaction. "Hoy, what's with you rushing at me like that?" Naruto asked as if the answer escaped him.
"You fool, you crossed the country's border; you have no business here." The young man said, seeming at complete ease. "So since I crossed the border, I pissed you off or something?" Naruto asked.
"This territory belongs to the Akuta clan, I advise you to leave, trespasser." The young man said coldly. "I'm afraid I can't do that…" Naruto said slowly, before shouting, "My orders are to kill the whole Akuta clan."
"Hoy, don't be so idiotic as to mock MY clan, leave before I make this personal." The young man scolded, "Akuta Taiji; Thief of Death."
"Uzumaki Naruto; Bringer of Death," Naruto said, watching Taiji stress over the insult.
He waited for Naruto to leave, but was surprised to see the result. He began to tighten the white bandages on his hands while he kept a keen eye on what Naruto did. Naruto however, readied his own hand. "Using jutsu so early," Taiji said, smirking. Naruto sighed and realised that he might as well show off some taijutsu before using Rasengan. He readied his stance and waited for Taiji to attack, while still being aware of any interference. "I'm in his country now; the only backup will be his…" Naruto thought. Taiji launched out at a reasonable speed, "This'll be easy," Naruto thought.
Naruto got ready to hit Taiji as he approached, but moved out the way. He realised that Taiji had used a Genjutsu to make it appear that he was enclosing faster. He had also thrown a shuriken in place of himself. Naruto smiled at his own intelligence, before dodging an incredibly fast kick towards his head. "Genjutsu again?" Naruto thought, before dismissing the idea after another hit flew past him and chipped bark off a nearby tree. "Too fast," Naruto thought as he dodged another kick to his head and jumped back out of range. "Rasengan time!" Naruto thought happily, and began to mould his chakra. "Interesting; he's trying to get me with a death move before even touching me, the move obviously increases his speed if he stands any chance of hitting me." Taiji jumped further from Naruto and began to untie his hand bandages. "What now?" Naruto pondered while his chakra began to mould.
Taiji ran up towards Naruto, barely giving him enough time to finish the Rasengan. Naruto completed the jutsu and dodged Taiji's lightning fast attack, but missed Taiji's back when trying to thrust the Rasengan into it. Taiji stopped a few meters from Naruto and realised that the jutsu was still activated. He sighed and put his left hand on his right wrist. He pointed his hand up in the air, and formed a bright shine from it, before quickly throwing up and catching a silver-blue scimitar which appeared to come from nowhere. Naruto glanced in amazement, while Taiji stood as if he'd only done a normal jutsu.
Naruto bent down, picking up a sturdy looking stick, and cancelling his Rasengan. "Damn bastard, using some weird kind of jutsu." Naruto shouted inside his head while grinding his sharpening teeth. Taiji rushed towards him, unaware of Naruto's rapidly changing strength and speed. Taiji moved much faster and sliced quicker than most ninja could see. Naruto barely understood what had happened until seeing that his stick had been sliced, but not broken. A white line stood where the strike took place and Naruto smiled, assuming that this was the doings of his demon; the Kyuubi.
He searched for Taiji and found him a few meters away, holding a completely different blade in his left hand. A drop of blood dripped from Naruto's forehead, and Naruto put his hand over it, seeing that he was indeed cut by the other sword. He smiled and reached into his pocket, before smearing a thick liquid over his wound. Taiji only watched, curious on how much this potion could help. Naruto returned to his fighting stance and grinned with sharper teeth as slits appeared on his eyes and the Kyuubi awoke. "Come," he said.
Taiji rocketed towards Naruto, swiping continuously missing blows. Naruto only defended, growing more confident in the Kyuubi's power. Taiji began to pant and withdrew from the battle, ending far from striking range of Naruto. Naruto however bared not one drop of sweat, and began to prepare his Rasengan once more. Taiji noticed and sprang towards Naruto before he could complete the jutsu. He sliced faster than the Kyuubi could move Naruto's body before severely injuring it. Naruto stepped back, slightly dazed. Taiji held a disappointed look. Naruto's hair had a white line across it. "Thanks Kyu," Naruto thought.
Taiji lashed out again, this time going at a much slower pace. "He's slowing down…at last," Naruto thought. "You fool," the Kyuubi's voice sounded, "He's using Genjutsu again!" Naruto's eyes widened and he cancelled the Genjutsu only to find Taiji missing. At that very second, he felt presence behind him. A cold feeling went through him, and Naruto looked down to see the sharp end of Taiji's silver-blue sword, sticking out of his stomach. The sword withdrew and Naruto was surprised not to fall. He turned around and stood as if unharmed, smiling and once more thanking the Kyuubi.
Taiji was smiling, yet panting and had a slight look of relief at the same time. Naruto wondered why Taiji would appear this way, and noticed what had become of his "sturdy" stick. Two pieces lay apart, each looking as if the stick was shorter. Naruto frowned, and realised that the two sticks were both corroding, as if the two cut ends were covered in acid. Naruto took about 3 seconds to think on his discovery, before it all made sense and a lock of hair fell from his head.
Naruto watched in horror as his hair fell, realising that the very same thing would happen to his abdomen. A strange feeling surged through his stomach and it began to burn, as if he was being frozen and singed at the same time. He closed his eyes and tried to bare the pain, before he could tolerate it no further. He tried to scream, but failed and coughed blood. He fell into the wet dirt beneath him, and suffocated.
"Finished already? I was worried you'd die," A girl's voice mocked, causing Taiji to stop smiling and turn his head. "Gimm'e a break, as if you could've killed him faster." Taiji replied, annoyed.
"You bastard… I'll definitely kick your ass for that." Naruto stated while climbing to his feet and swallowing his blood. "What the?" Taiji asked himself aloud.
"But you are dead!" The girl shouted as she pointed her arm downwards and spawned a katana the very same way Taiji first did. "As I said before, I am Uzumaki Naruto! Remember it if you mange to escape my wrath!" Naruto shouted, red chakra surrounding him as he began to mould chakra again. Taiji's eyes widened, realising the move and jumped out of range. "Rasengan!" Naruto shouted, running towards the girl.
The said girl readied her sword, confident she would be able to withstand the jutsu. Naruto rushed towards her, and created multiple Blood Bunshin which all held a Rasengan of their own. The girls eyes widened and she braced herself as multiple Rasengans flew into her. She flew backwards into a far tree at a faster speed than Taiji could slash. The tree broke and flew along with her at a still high speed until finally thrusting her into rock which crumbled and fell over her paralysed body. The rocks burst apart upon Naruto smashing into her and thrusting his hand into her stomach, more than winding her. He followed this action by grinding her against the rock and hitting her throat, before breaking her back.
Taiji had no time to stare in horror; he was confronted with a maniac more powerful than he could have imagined. He found enough energy to run into the distance, but was followed by the blood thirsty ninja who had already destroyed his first victim. "What's wrong Taiji? Don't you wanna fight any more?" Naruto shouted with insane madness, the Kyuubi having long ago taken over.
"I have to lose him," Taiji drastically thought, "I have no chance of winning."
Taiji ran helplessly with Naruto closing in too fast for him to get anywhere before being murdered. He turned right towards a ledge, far from the ground. "Shit!" he shouted, stopping in time to prevent falling. Naruto arrived before Taiji could turn, and smiled sadistically at Taiji's dilemma. "Oh, too bad…" The Kyuubi laughed from Naruto's body, "Have you nowhere to run, brat?" Taiji looked over the ledge, dealing with the inevitability of his death. Naruto walked towards Taiji, and pulled out a shuriken, getting ready to gut him on the spot. Taiji faced his only option; he would have to jump; this ninja was too fast. He stepped back and fell, plummeting to the ground.
Naruto smiled, watching the swordsman plummet to his death. "How fun!" The Kyuubi laughed. Taiji plunged down the incredibly high cliff, noticing that hitting the ground would either kill him or leave him paralyzed and vulnerable. Naruto watched with insane delight, deciding to let Taiji break his own back.
Taiji grabbed onto a small ledge and screamed as his ligaments tore. His pain was short lived as he saw Naruto race down towards him. Naruto grabbed Taiji's arm, pulled him off the ledge and slammed Taiji into the mountain side. Taiji then fell into the ground and Naruto stood beside him. He walked towards him and allowed Taiji his last breath before crushing his skull. "They are all dead," the Kyuubi laughed," Just what I needed Naruto, I have always loved killing powerful clans." Naruto felt life return to his body and began to pant. It was getting harder not to obey the Kyuubi's commands, but Naruto was glad he didn't hurt anyone he knew.

A/N: I put in the Encyclopaedia for those who don't know or are unfamiliar with the series. If I have left out any definitions or you feel that they are incorrect, please inform me. I will change it the second I know something's wrong. I realise that the character Taiji, has a very important role in this chapter. However, Naruto will always be the main character, mostly because no one really likes an O.C.
