ACGOMN: Almost done
Don't own Naruto...you know the rest
Chapter 19
Unleashed
Naruto was beyond angry now. He was absolutely livid. Anko, Tenten, Gai, and the Hyuugas were royally angry. Everyone else was pissed. The Lee that was summoned with the jutsu attacked Gaara. Gaara had no choice but to fight. The Iruka that was summoned went after Anko, who was shocked to say the least. The Hinata went after Naruto, he couldn't just bring himself to attack the girl and kept dodging. The Akatsuki leader grinned insanely and summoned some low rank demons that he had captured previously to attack the others. Akira, Ronin, Miki, Ringo, Kiyoshi, and Haru fought them off.
"If he can summon low rank demons, he probably got some higher rank demons," said Hiroko. "You all may be ninja's but B-class and up you have no chance against. And if the kids unleashed the power of their demons you have a chance to get hurt."
"Hiroko-dono," said Yukimaru, "We should use that barrier spell we used on the only village of Hachimata-sama's standing."
"Dumbass has a point," said Eva.
"Alright, we use the triangle one again," said Hiroko. Eva and Yukimaru went and moved in the opposite direction. They all stuck their weapons in the earth and put their blood on weapon in a demon language it. A barrier surrounded the ninja not fighting.
In Gaara's fight with Lee, it was difficult for the young Kage to face of his friends in a death match. Yeah, he considered the green spandex clad ninja a friend. This was like the Chuunin Exams rematch, but this time Gaara had to kill Lee, even if he didn't want to.
"I'm sorry," said Gaara, "SABAKU SOSO (Imploding Sand Funeral)!" Even though this one was made of dirt and such, it made Gaara feel horrible. Anko however was a different story. She loved Iruka and didn't get to tell him. Anko was stronger than Iruka and could have killed him easily. However, Anko couldn't. Not after the real Iruka died instead of her. Now, Orochimaru was watching the fight of his first apprentice.
"Anko, that's not really him. It's all in your head. It's only the image of the guy. Punish it for taking the face of Iruka," yelled Orochimaru, giving good advice for once. That helped Anko turned the thing in the shape of Iruka to dust.
"Hmph, the physiological approach I see," said Jiraiya.
"What are you going to do about Naruto, I don't think that'll work on him," said Tsunade, worried for him.
"Nothing now," said Jiraiya. During all this the bastard known as Ikustaka, whom everyone wanted him to burn and rot in hell 100 times over, laugh. It was like he was listening to come good comic. Naruto couldn't take it anymore. He was going to kill the guy no matter what.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9," counted Jiraiya, as the tails came from Naruto. Hiroko, Eva and Yukimaru had horrified looks on their faces.
"UH, Hey Gaara, Miki and you guys I need a little reinforcement on this barrier or we will all die from the sheer power of energy. At this point the demons thought it be better if they came out instead.
"If that safe," asked Tsunade. Everyone else agreed with the Hokage.
"Perfectly fine," said Hiroko, "As long as they don't go past a certain number of tails." Kyuubi's chakra was pouring out everywhere.
"The intensity of it would burn your skin alive," said Jiraiya.
"I hope he can come back after this," said Orochimaru. The rookie 9 and Gai's Team looked at the blonde haired boy who changed them all for the better and began praying for him. It was the only thing they could do. Hell everyone began praying, including the three demons who aren't in good grace with any Kami.
"I'LL KILL YOU," yelled Naruto or Kyuubi, you couldn't tell. Naruto jumped up in the air and with the grace of a sky diver, dove at the leader with speed. As Naruto come crashing down he gain acceleration, which I could explain better but I think you all got it. With just one punch and the intensity of the chakra, Akastuki leader basically blew up.
"Where's the girl," now it was apparent that Kyuubi was now in control because the chakra and the killer intent died down. Kyuubi had spotted the girl in the form of Hinata and turned her to dust with the swish of one of his tails. Inside of Naruto was yelling from Naruto at Kyuubi.
'WHY DID YOU DO THAT?'
'Kit they are all dead you can't bring them back no matter what.'
'BUT I WAS SUPPOSE TO PROTECT THEM!'
'Naruto, you can't always protect anyone. They died in honor for their village and for those they cared about.'
'IT'S NOT FAIR! THEY WERE THE ONES WHO MOST BELIEVED IN ME. I CAN'T STAND THE FACT THAT I COULD DO NOTHING! IRUKA-SENSEI WAS LIKE A FATHER TO ME! LEE APPRECIATED HARD WORK AND BELIEVED IN ME! HINATA TOLD ME I WAS A PROUD FAILURE AND REALLY WAS NICE TO ME!'
'Then stop your bitching and fight in their honor, remember them, but go on with your life. That's what they would have wanted.'
'I hate it that your right all the time.'
'Heh you sound like Hachimata. You better rest now.' Naruto passed out and fell to the ground. All those who cared ran to him.
Red Sky
By: Thrice
I know what lies beneath, I've seen the flash of teeth
conspiring with the reef to sink our ship
the wind's a cheating wife, her tongue a thirsty knife
and she could take your life with one good kiss
can you see the sky turn red
as morning's light breaks over me
know tonight we'll make our bed
at the bottom of the sea
I know the ocean speaks, I've heard her call to me
and smiling in my dreams she whispers this
(the stars retreat behind their veil
the clouds are clinging to your sail
the storm is coming can you see)
look and see the sky turn red
like blood it covers over me
and soon the sea shall give up her dead
we'll raise an empire from the bottom of the sea
Naruto was in the hospital with people checking up on him frequently. One of two visits made him feel ten times as worse. The first one was from Neji and Hanabi.
"Hinata-sama loved you Naruto." That was what Neji told him. The other one was from Anko.
"Naruto I'm so sorry. Iruka died in place. I loved him, but I never told him." Naruto spent the rest of the time reassuring the snake lady that he didn't blame her and was happy that Iruka died for someone he loved. Naruto was hitting himself in his head about what Neji told him. I was too dense to notice. Naruto cared for all his friends and Hinata was no different. He may not have loved her back, but it felt nice that someone did love him like that. Naruto was happy that Sasuke was back and finally started to appreciate Sakura. He just imagine mini-Sasukes and Sakuras running around calling him 'Uncle Naru'. Naruto knew that Lee, Hinata, and Iruka would never come back, but they will be close in his heart. Naruto soon called one of the nurses to complain about being stuck here and the no ramen rule. Naruto will be alright. He had eight and more people watching over him from the afterlife.
ACGOMN: The song was a nice touch and good. I think a red sky means blood has been shed. Well, next chapter the funeral and the epilogue. Reviews are good.
Next Time-
REQUIEM AND EPILOGUE!
