Monster from the Ido


Naruto was relaxing on a hill enjoying the scenery and view of the clouds.

Naruto: So far things have been very quiet.

Naruto heard scraping and he saw a girl on the hill painting a picture. He went to go see.

Naruto: That's a pretty picture you're doing. Hmm. It's of the Hokage Tower in a thunderstorm.

Naruto saw no storm clouds in the area. Suddenly Storm Clouds came in out of nowhere.

Naruto: That's weird. The weather forecast didn't call for Storms today.

Naruto saw the storm clouds crackle with lightning. Then he sensed what was about to happen next.

Naruto: Oh no! WATER STYLE: TSUNAMI SHIELD!

A huge wall of water appeared behind the Hokage Tower and protected it as a huge bolt of lightning was about to strike. The Lightning hit the wave and went into the ground.

Naruto: That was a close one. What was... Huh?

Naruto spread his wings and found the girl walking back somewhere. Then she was ambushed by the Leaf Medical Corp.

Naruto swooped in and grabbed her as they were about to knock her out.

Naruto: What is your problem? Why were you trying to attack this girl?

An ANBU came out.

Goat: This is none of your concern Naruto. Give her back, leave and forget everything you've seen.

Naruto: Sorry but this just became my concern when I saw the Hokage Tower about to be hit and I figured that she caused it. So I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.

Medic: You have no idea what you're getting yourself into Naruto. Yakumo there is unstable and she's very dangerous.

Naruto: Sorry but she looks like a beautiful girl to me and I have a very strong feeling that she needs help. [To Yakumo] Yakumo my name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze of the Lifewing and I'm gonna help you.

Naruto met Yakumo Kurama.

Yakumo: It's a pleasure to meet you Naruto. I'm Yakumo Kurama.

Naruto: It's a pleasure. I've heard about the Kurama Clan. They are a very talented clan of Genjutsu Users that live in the southwest quadrant of the village.

Yakumo: Yes. That's right.

Medic: Give her back Naruto. She's very dangerous.

Naruto: No. Me and Team Cosmic Dragon are gonna help her. She's a fellow Leaf Kunoichi in trouble and she needs our help.

Naruto flew off with Yakumo.


He arrived at the Namikaze Estate and put her on the couch. He called Team Cosmic Dragon and they came in.

Nicole: What's going on bro?

Naruto: Yakumo here is a Leaf Kunoichi in trouble and the Hokage Tower was about to be struck by lightning because of her. I found her about to be knocked out by the Medical Corp. I made it my mission to help her. They called her unstable and very dangerous.

Lincoln: It's good you found her Naruto. There must be a reason why she attacked the Hokage Tower.

Nicole: Lets ask.

Nicole and Team Cosmic Dragon were with her.

Nicole: Yakumo Kurama. It's a pleasure to meet you. We are Team Cosmic Dragon. I'm Nicole Knudson of the Star Dragon. The Leader.

Lincoln: I'm Lincoln Loud of the Thunderbird.

Sakura: You already know Naruto. I'm Sakura Haruno of the Oceanwing.

Fu: I'm Fu of the Blazewing.

Juri: I'm Juri the Sea Dragon Maiden.

Ami: I'm Ami Mitarashi the Cobra Swordmistress.

Akiko: I'm Akiko Suzuki the Maiden of The Nebula.

Sasuke: I'm Sasuke Uchiha the Knight of The Raven.

Rin: I'm Rin Nohara of the Phoenix Wing, Veteran of The 3rd Great War.

Yamiko: I'm Yamiko Kaguya the Bonemancer.

Natsumi: I'm Natsumi the 9-Tailed Kitsune.

Isaribi: I'm Isaribi of the Ocean.

Hokuto: And I'm Hokuto of the Star Aura.

Yakumo: It's a pleasure to meet all of you and it's a great honor. I heard that you all killed the traitorous Orochimaru.

Nicole: Yes we have. Yakumo we have to know so we can help you. Why did you attack the Hokage Tower?

Yakumo: It was because the 3rd Hokage ordered my teacher Kurenai Yuhi to kill me.

They gasped.

Naruto: Why would you believe that Yakumo?

Yakumo: I overheard Kurenai-sensei talking to the 3rd Hokage and I figured that he was telling her to kill me.

Lincoln: I don't think the 3rd Hokage would tell Kurenai-sensei to do that Yakumo.

Nicole: I agree. There has to be more to it than that and there has to be a reason why.

Fu: I agree. How about you tell us what happened and your story.

Yakumo: Okay. I come from the Kurama Clan. A clan of powerful genjutsu users as Naruto deduced. I wanted to be a powerful kunoichi that only uses Genjutsu. Just like Rock Lee is a shinobi that only wants to use Taijutsu. I couldn't attend the Academy because of my frailty. The 3rd Hokage assigned Kurenai-sensei to be my tutor. But tragedy struck about a year ago. My parents died in a tragic fire that burned my home to the ground.

They gasped in horror.

Nicole: Yakumo that's horrible.

Sasuke: You have our sympathies and condolences Yakumo.

Fu: Yes. We're very sorry that happened to you.

Yakumo: Thank you. I think it was the Third Hokage that ordered it and he killed my family.

Naruto: I don't think so Yakumo. I'm gonna go ask grandpa.

Nicole: Okay Naruto.

Naruto left for the Sarutobi Compound.

Nicole: Yakumo the 3rd Hokage would never authorize such a terrible thing to happen. There has to be more to it than that.


Naruto arrived at the Sarutobi complex and knocked on the door. Konohamaru answered it.

Konohamaru: Oh hey big bro.

Naruto: Hey Konohamaru.

Konohamaru: You come to play ninja with me?

Naruto: Actually I came to talk to your grandpa. Is he there?

Konohamaru: He is. Come on in.

In the complex he found Lord Third and Asuma playing Shogi.

Konohamaru: Grandpa. Naruto is here to see you.

Naruto: Hey Grandpa. Asuma-sensei.

Lord Third: Naruto my boy how have you been?

Naruto: Good. Grandpa I need to talk to you.

Lord Third: Okay.

Asuma and Konohamaru left and Naruto sat down.

Naruto: Okay. Grandpa the Hokage Tower was attacked by a freak lightning storm that I believe was caused by a genjutsu created by a girl named Yakumo Kurama. I saved her from the Medical Corp and they told me she was unstable and very dangerous. Yakumo thinks you ordered Kurenai-sensei to kill her and her family. But I have a very strong feeling that there's more to it than that.

Lord Third: (Laughs) Naruto you are so much like your father. All right. What I'm about to tell you is an S-Rank Secret. Yes. I assigned Kurenai Yuhi to Yakumo Kurama so she can help her because she has a dangerous power inside her. The Kurama Clan has a very powerful Kekkei Genkai that enables them to utilize genjutsu and it enables the Genjutsu to actually deal physical damage to their target.

Naruto gasped.

Naruto: That's incredible grandpa. I had no idea that they had this kind of power.

Lord Third: Yes. But Yakumo has an extremely dangerous persona inside her and it poses a tremendous threat to the entire village should it ever gets out. We had no choice but to Seal Yakumo's powers.

Naruto: Do you know what this evil persona is grandpa?

Lord Third: Yes. Her uncle Unkai Kurama told me all about it. ANBU!

An ANBU came in.

Eagle: Yes Lord Third?

Lord Third: Please bring me Unkai Kurama.

Eagle: Right away sir.

5 Minutes later Eagle came back and with him was Unkai Kurama.

Naruto: You must be Unkai Kurama. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Unkai: Same here Naruto. You look so much like your father. The resemblence is completely uncanny.

Naruto: I get that all the time.

Unkai: I believe it.

Lord Third: Unkai. I'm sorry to call you here but Naruto is curious about the evil power inside Yakumo.

Unkai: I see. Yakumo wanted to be a kunoichi that utilises Genjutsu. But Kurenai tried very hard to work with her and she failed and told her to end her training. Yakumo returned to her parents completely disspirited and my brother Murakumo and sister-in-law Uruko tried to console her. That's when tragedy struck. The Kurama residence burned to the ground and I saw Yakumo standing in front of the house in a daze. But in the flames I saw a horrific monster looking at us and smiling. When I found out what it was, I became frozen with terror.

Naruto: What was this creature?

Unkai: We wanted to find out what caused the tragedy. So we ordered a complete medical examination on Yakumo.

A flashback showed Yakumo hooked up to all kinds of brain scan machines and the results revealed a horrific sight.

Unkai: (Narrating) They arrived at the conclusion that the creature which appeared at the fire came from Yakumo's deep subconscious. In other words it was a manifestation of her Ido.

A ghostly vicious figure appeared on the screen and the medics were horrified.

The flashback ended.

Naruto: An Ido Monster? I've read about those. They are the monsters from the deepest parts of the Human Subconscious and they are the living embodiment of our evil desires.

Unkai: That's right. I immediately went to Lord Third here and asked for guidance.

Another flashback showed Unkai in Lord Third's office.

Unkai: Ultimately the girl was unable to endure the physical expectations that the village placed on her and soon her subconscious cracked under the pressure. To protect itself it released her pent up fury. Sir, we do not believe that Yakumo's Ido Monster is finished. It will keep going until the whole Kurama Clan is decimated and then the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Lord Third: I understand the risk. But I refuse to authorize any violence. Yakumo isn't even aware that this evil power exists inside of her and this village does not take innocent life.

Unkai: But Lord Hokage once her subconscious completely awakens there will be nothing we can do to stop it.

Lord Third: In that case we'll have to work with Yakumo until she can learn to control the power by herself. And if that's not possible then we'll have to seal her genjutsu.

Unkai: How can we?

Lord Third: It's slightly different but there has been one precident. In a similar situation the spirit of the 9-Tailed Fox was sealed away inside the body of a newborn.

Unkai: That's absurd. There isn't a ninja alive strong enough to seal away the immense power that Yakumo possesses.

Lord Third: Actually there might be one person I know of that fits the bill. However the mission will be brutal. I pray that this person can teach Yakumo how to control it. I pray that this person will bear Yakumo's resentment. And if that's not possible, we will erase all the good Yakumo could have accomplished in her life and attempting to end the lineage of the Kurama Clan's powers.

The 3rd Hokage wept when this was gonna happen.

The Flashback ended.

Unkai: Then Lord Third lowered his head and wept.

Naruto: So Kurenai-sensei was given this incredible mission and shouldered a powerful burden.

Lord Third: Yes. This is Kurenai's most difficult mission.

Naruto: I believe it grandpa. Yakumo is going through a lot of pain because of her resentment towards Kurenai-sensei because she believes that you ordered her to kill her and her family. But now I see what's going on. You told her to kill the Ido Monster inside her.

Lord Third: That's right. This evil power Yakumo has poses a big danger to the village and we have to stop it at all costs.

Naruto: I agree grandpa. Yakumo is a Leaf Kunoichi in trouble. When she attacked the Hokage tower with a genjutsu, I knew she was going through some hard times. Unkai can you meet us at the Namikaze estate and have Kurenai-sensei come with?

Unkai: Okay.

Naruto: Thank you for telling me this. Now we know what we're up against.

Later Naruto and Team Cosmic Dragon regrouped and Unkai, Kurenai, Lady Tsunade and Shizune were with them.

Naruto: I found some interesting developments with Yakumo.

Naruto revealed everything and everyone was shocked.

Nicole: An Ido Monster killed her family and is now gonna destroy the Leaf? That's horrible.

Sasuke: I don't know much about this kind of thing. But from the way this looks this Ido Monster sounds like it poses a tremendous danger to the Leaf.

Sakura: Yeah.

Rin: I've heard about Ido Monsters and how dangerous they are. But I never knew that Yakumo was going through all this.

Fu: I've read about this and this is bad.

Hokuto: This is really bad. If Yakumo's Ido Monster awakes then we are in serious trouble.

Isaribi: Yeah.

Nicole: But I have an idea. We'll fight Yakumo's Ido Monster on a distant planet away from the Leaf and this way no one is gonna get hurt.

Kurenai: That's a great idea Nicole. But how are we gonna get Yakumo to awaken her Ido Monster?

Nicole: I have an idea.


At the safehouse on Satome Hill they went into Yakumo's art room and saw numerous paintings.

Nicole: This paintings are amazing Yakumo.

Yakumo: Yes. They are pictures of my memories.

Lincoln: My sister Laney would love your pictures Yakumo. She and you would be great friends.

Yakumo: I'm sure. Thank you Lincoln.

Lincoln: You're welcome.

Nicole: Okay Yakumo you know what to do.

Yakumo: Okay.

Yakumo called forth the Ido Monster by faking a suicide attempt and a painting of herself grabbed her arm.

Painting: Why? Why do you do this to yourself when you are not to blame. The ones who must be crushed are those who imposed such a heavy burden on your psyche. Those who tried to get rid of me just as you are reaching your full potential.

Yakumo: Who are you?

Ido: I merely crept into a fracture in one corner of your mind and there I was nurtured. My name is Ido.

A hideous figure emerged from the painting and it's eyes were glowing red with Pure Evil. Yakumo's Ido Monster HAS BEEN UNLEASHED!

Sasuke: What is that thing!?

Nicole: This must be Yakumo's Ido Monster. It's power is unreal. He makes even Orochimaru look like a tamed kitten.

Natsumi: No kidding. The level of evil coming off of him is unbelievable.

Kurenai: Yes. You all are right. The 3rd Hokage didn't order me to eliminate Yakumo. I was to kill this monster within her.

Naruto: I knew it.

Yakumo: You were right guys. All of you.

Nicole: But it doesn't know the true power of Team Cosmic Dragon.

Nicole snapped her fingers and the area changed into the planet Tuitan.

Planet Tuitan is a mountain desert planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy 2.3 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Andromeda the Princess. It is covered with mountains, deserts and sandhills and it has a surface temperature of 86 degrees fahrenheit. It has 4 moons and it orbits a Yellow Dwarf star. Violent dust storms and sandstorms ravage the surface and they are more violent than those on Mars or Earth. The planet is home to a race of Centaur creatures that have a similar lifestyle to the Native American Indians of the Old West. They are very peaceful and treat everyone like family.

Ido: So you planned all this. But I will still settle the score for good.

Nicole: I don't think so.

Nicole went Super Angel 4, Lincoln went Super Angel 2 and everyone spread their wings.

Naruto: Natsumi can I have 3 tails of Chakra?

Natsumi: Coming at you Naruto.

Naruto was enveloped in a Red Chakra Cloak with 3 Tails.

Naruto: This is gonna be awesome.

They went at the Ido Monster and it erupted into an extremely savage and ferocious fight. Massive explosions of fire destroyed much of the land and thunderous shockwaves from their punches and kicks were blowing the sand around and forming craters everywhere. Yakumo was watching the fight in utter disbelief. She had never seen a fight of such explosive power.

Nicole: You killed Yakumo's parents and ruined her life. You will now pay for everything you've done to her.

Naruto: I agree.

Naruto fired a stream of fire at Ido and burned him.

Akiko used her powers and the area became the Witch Head Nebula.

Nicole: (Echoing) Wow! The Witch Head Nebula in the constellation of Eridanus the River.

Lincoln: (Echoing) It's beautiful.

Yakumo: (Echoing) Where are we?

Kurenai: (Echoing) Akiko has the power to transform the land into a Nebula from another part of the galaxy. Her powers are what gave her the Moniker Akiko Suzuki the Maiden of The Nebula.

Yakumo: That's incredible.

The Ido Monster was not having a very good day. He was being pulverized all over the place. Naruto was slashing it apart with such extreme ferocity that it was unbelievable.

Yakumo: Why is Naruto enveloped in a cloak of chakra?

Kurenai: Naruto is the Jinchuriki of the 9-Tailed Fox that nearly destroyed our village 13 years ago. He was hated and scorned by the village because of our council's corruption and their bias-motivated ambitions and lies. When Nicole came she adopted him as her little brother and took care of him. Naruto and Natsumi have a powerful bond and partnership and they work together in battle. They are very strong together.

Yakumo: That's incredible. Naruto has been through so much.

Kurenai: That's right Yakumo. You can help them as well.

Hokuto formed a whip of pure Alien Chakra and lashed the Ido Monster. She was now flying with glowing purple-pink Angel Wings and she has a full mastery over the Alien Chakra from the Cicean Meteorite.

Yakumo: How can I help them?

Kurenai: Inside every one of us Yakumo is a fanged beast that exists within the very depths of our minds. It lies there in wait in the very reaches of a persons soul and appears when they are most vulnerable. And when the beast awakes, it is impossible to control.

Sasuke formed a sword made of the Black Fires of Amaterasu and slashed the Ido Monster in the face and back.

Kurenai: You can even end up hurting those that are closest to you. But if the monster can be tamed, reigned in with the strength of your own will it can become a magnificent power and can even make your own dreams a reality. Now you must fight it! Obliterate the monster that the depths of your own mind created!

Yakumo: I don't know how.

Kurenai: Yakumo, you are the only one who can finish this.

Ami slashed the Ido Monster in the leg and kneed it in the face.

Yakumo saw a paint scraper on the floor and she knew what she had to do.

Yakumo: I'll beat the darkness in my mind!

She took the paint scraper and the blade glowed white and she dashed toward the Ido Monster and appeared in front of it and stabbed it in the face.

The Ido was dying.

Ido: (Weakly) But why? I did my best to serve you. I only wanted what's best for you.

Nicole: You're an evil monster that deserves to be forever damned. Enjoy the darkest pits of the Netherworld.

Ido's face came off and revealed a glowing purple face of Yakumo with glowing red eyes and it inflated and disintegrated into nothing.

The area reverted back and Yakumo collapsed because of mild chakra exhaustion and Naruto caught her.

Naruto: You were amazing Yakumo. You did it. You defeated the darkness in your soul.

Yakumo: Thank you all. Thank you.

Lady Tsunade: Great job today Team Cosmic Dragon.

Nicole: Thank you Lady Hokage. We'll take Yakumo to the hospital to rest and I'll be by later to file my report.

Lady Tsunade: Okay.

They dropped Yakumo off at the hospital and they promised to help Yakumo with her condition. Her stamina was poor and she needed a lot of help. So when the time comes she will become a member of Team Cosmic Dragon.
