Red Eye 7
Begin Author's Note:
Oh Jesus. With help of my reviewer, whose name I remember not, I have realized a crucial truth. I've been spelling Uchiha Sasuke's name wrong. I could have sworn I was spelling it right... I guess I'm just an idiot or something. Sorry guys. I have come to the light. I know how to spell! Also, there is another anonymous reviewer whose name I don't remember, not because I was distracted, but because he was an idiot. He starts off with "there is no plothole naruto just got in early DUH". First of all, nice punctuation, jackass. Secondly, Naruto. Finally, know you nothing about Naruto? The only people that I have ever known to get in early are clan prodigies. Itachi? Prodigy. Kakashi? Prodigy. Both of them had a famous name behind them as well. Naruto was not only hated, he sucked. Badly. The Sandaime can't make the place drop their standards entirely... To quote you, little jackass, DUH. To business. This took longer than usual because I kept having a hard time writing Kimmimaro's fight. You guys are reading the like fifth draft of this. Yeah, you read that right.

Kakashi gritted his teeth. He was low on chakra, and this shinobi hadn't even joined the fight yet. He was fresh, and from what Kakashi could sense, stronger than his Sharingan-wielding teammate. He was also ready to beat Kakashi into the ground. The genin and Kurenai might be able to handle the other two. Maybe. The Kage-nin apparently took his silence for an answer, and raised both arms, strange white spikes growing out of his sleeves. Was that bone? The kage-nin saw his glance at the spikes, and cleared his throat.
"This is my Kekkei Genkai. I am able to alter the density, shape, and movement of my innumerable bones. Prepare to fight against the most powerful of those who have the Shikotsumyaku (corpse bone pulse...)" With this declaration, he rushed the Copy-Ninja. Kakashi, thinking quickly, formed a single seal.
"Mizu Bunshin no jutsu!" At least fifty clones of Kakashi appeared, menacing the Kage-Nin with drawn kunai and smirks. The white-haired shinobi merely tilted his head, mocking Kakashi. The clones all rushed him at once. They all dog-piled the Kage-nin, concealing him from view. Kakashi grinned and turned to help Kurenai with the other two. A sudden sound from behind him made him turn. What he saw frightened him beyond belief.
The Kage-nin was moving quickly around his clones, dealing out death to each one as he passed. He was unscathed, in spite of the best efforts of the bunshin. Several attempted to hit him from all sides at once. He spun, stabbing out quickly, impaling all the would-be assailants. He rushed the astonished Kakashi, and at an incredible speed, scored a pair of slices before Kakashi could get away. He used a Kawarimi before he could be impaled, and moved to a safe distance.
The Kage-nin threw off his cloak. Underneath it he wore a net shirt, with rather large holes. The bone spikes retracted and he raised a hand over his shoulder. Kakashi felt a slight disturbance in the air near him, and Hinata and Sakura landed near him, both taking a look at the Kage-nin's pale, well-muscled chest and blushing horribly. Hinata made her purpose known first.
"K-k-k-Kakashi-sensei, Kurenai-sensei s-sent us to h-h-h-help..." She trailed off as she saw something that was impossible according to her limited knowledge. Kakashi looked back and swore. Sakura had to add in yet another scream. The Kage-nin had what appeared to be his spinal cord sliding out of his shoulder. It was in the shape of a sword. He pulled it free and the bloodless wound zipped up almost instantly.
"Tsubaki no Mai." He leapt for Kakashi, his bone blade forming a shallow slash in the Copy-nin's side. An underhand slash gave Kakashi what would become a new scar on his torso. Finally, the shinobi stopped in front of him and began to lash out in stabs that were next to impossible. They were so fast, the Kage-nin's arm was a blur. When they finished, Kakashi flew backwards and struck a tree. He did not move.

Naruto appeared next to Haku, still in slight pain from using that new Sharingan attack. He did not truly know what he had done, just that it had come, and so had the name. Tsuyomiki. It was almost incredible that he could mentally torture someone for what seemed to be 72 hours. He had forced the Uchiha brat to relive his worst nightmares for the entire time. He wondered if there was something else this new Sharingan, the Mangekyou, could do.
"Did he hit you to hard, Naruto-kun?" Haku asked him, her voice just slightly too sweet. She was mocking him again, just because she always though he got too arrogant in the face of successes. Hardly.
"Haku-chan, can you please deal with the rest of the Genin while I finish off the jounin? (Right, not arrogant at all..)" She rolled her eyes. He was at half strength, while his chosen enemy was fresh, and carried an unknown bag of tricks. However, she acquiesced. Perhaps getting himself beaten would stop him from being so arrogant all the time.
"Very well. I will need some room..." Naruto took the hint, and leapt away. The Konoha jounin looked between the two of them, and finally simply leapt of after him. The remaining Genin tensed up and prepared for a fight. Haku started it off.
"Ninpou: Kirigakure no jutsu." Mist rolled in from all sides, obscuring anything that wasn't two feet in front of them. Aburame Shino was relying on his bugs to tell him where this new enemy was, and soon discovered that she was behind him, striking out with something. He whirled and blocked with a kunai. She had a senbon, long and thin, held in her hand. They clashed several times, neither gaing or losing anything in terms of attack or block. She raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? You can keep up? Surprising, for a Genin. But tell me, can you do...this?" Shino's mouth dropped open. She was making seals with one hand. She finished, and water rose up all around them, as she called out the name of her technique.
"Senatsu Suishou!" The water condensed into a flurry of senbon, all flying at the Aburame scion. He attampted to use the kikai to block, but the sheer amount of needles were able to disable him. He dropped to the ground. The other boy tried a back attack, but she leapt out of the way. The attack had thinned the mist enough for him to see her, so Shinta used the attack he had learned from the forbiddden scroll the night he had rescued it from Mizuki.
"Katon: Chakra Katana!" A burning Katana formed in his hand, and he rushed at her, swinging like a madman. Haku was forced back, dodging the burning blade. The Genin was not proficient with it, but a four-foot flaming chakra construct would be hard to approach if swung around. She turned and fled, looking for Kimmimaro, while Shinta followed, screaming threats.

Kurenai locked eyes with the strange teen she now knew as Naruto. He returned her gaze with a smirk. She could see something behind his eyes, perhaps bewilderment or even fear? She decided to find out all she could about this new enemy.
"So, you have the Sharingan?" She asked him, hoping he was in a talking mood. He was. "Yes. It was procured for me, from the only other Uchiha that survived the massacre, three years ago." He waited for her surprise and shock. He was not disappointed. Her mouth slowly dropped open, and she emitted a strangled gasp. "Then you... you..." He cut her off. "No, I did not defeat Uchiha Itachi. He was quite tenacious, and I doubt that at age twelve I would have survived." She swallowed, relief that he was not that strong flooding through her.
She tried something sneaky. While keeping him talking, she would begin to weave a genjutsu around him. "And you are from Kagegakure? Why hasn't this village been heard of before?" He chuckled, as if to some unseen joke. "Is it that we have never been seen before or that we eliminated all witnesses?" She tensed slightly. He laughed again.
Kurenai made her move. She triggered her trap, and leapt to the side around him, enjoying her victory. Right now he would be seeing himself trapped in tree roots, and she would place a kunai to his throat, allowing her to either use him as a hostage or simply kill him.
That was how it was supposed to work, anyway.
When she arrived next to him, he suddenly spun, grabbing her arms. He stared into her surprised eyes, and she mentally swore. The Sharingan!
He smirked at her. "Have you already forgotten these?" he asked. She had to bite back a curse. He transferred both of her arms to one hand, and drew a kunai with the other. "Now, milady, I must bid you a fond adieu, and I hope to see—" He was cut off as something totally unexpected happened.
"Gatsuuga!" The wounded Kiba and Akamaru barreled into him from behind, tossing a relatively unscathed Kurenai to the ground, and Naruto into a tree so hard it busted in half. Kiba grinned at his successful sneak attack.
"Haha! Got ya, you tricky bastard!" Kiba wasn't pulling any punches on this one. Kurenai stood, checking herself for damage. She had extremely light wounds from hitting the ground. Naruto, however, would be lucky to survive. "Good job, Kiba."
Her estimations were shattered, however, when not only did Naruto stand, he was able to leap away, presumably towards his teammates. She immediately followed, while Kiba suddenly noticed he was all alone, and chased after them.
"Hey, wait for me!"

"Kakashi-sensei!" Both Sakura and Hinata screamed and he hit the tree. The Kage-nin admired his handiwork. He turned, preparing to finish off the Genin pair, when he felt his teammates rushing towards him. Both Haku and Naruto landed on either side of him, Naruto suffering some internal wound and Haku fleeing a chakra construct held by the seemingly incompetent Genin.
Shinta grinned. "Got ya right where we want ya, tricky bastards!" The red-eyed Jounin landed near him, followed by the dog Genin. Wasn't he incapacitated? A quick glance revealed he was bleeding from an unseen gash. The five Konoha shinobi encircled the Akagan team, the jounin casting a glance at her unconscious companion.
This was a dislikeable situation, with both teams light to heavily wounded. Naruto was casting a hate-filled glare at the dog Genin, who foolishly sneered back. Kimmimaro shook his head. Naruto would make it a point to kill or at least maul this one. An uncomfortable silence stretched, until the jounin initiated conversation.
"Who are you? What do you truly want?" Naruto chuckled, causing blood to spill out of his mouth slightly. His demon chakra would have to regenerate that before he could effectively fight again, and he knew it. He was stalling the conversation for time.
"Whatever do you mean?" The jounin glared. "You must have an ulterior motive. No one is foolish enough to simply attack Konoha shinobi for the fun of it. Why are you really here?" The blood flow was beginning to lessen, the internal damage healing. Naruto stretched his torso surreptitiously before answering. "We have two purposes here. One is to test my newly acquired Sharingan, and the other is to complete our mission and kill Tazuna-san."He pointed to the forgotten bridge-builder who was attempting to hide behind several trees. He ducked behind one again at being mentioned. Kurenai motioned for Hinata and Sakura to guard the old man, which they did. Naruto smirked at the pathetic new last-ditch defensive line.
Kurenai shook her head angrily at being reminded. She spoke sharply at the trio, a measured amount of anger seeping through. "Don't you realize what you are doing? Tazuna-san is his country's heart and soul, and killing him would be an act of evil." Kimmimaro ruefully shook his head at the idealistic Konoha shinobi. Haku answered for the group. "The point of shinobi is to commit acts of evil. True ninja kill and die in the name of evil ventures every day. Wealthy as Konoha is, the ninja there are sheltered. In our... village... we began to kill at the age of eight. Shinobi are trained from very young ages to be professional assassins, murders, emotionless killing machines. We are true shinobi, not these childish fools playing ninja."
The Genin looked horrified at the prospect of becoming murderers as children. Even Kurenai was a little pale. Shinta chose that moment to open his mouth and express his loud, blustery opinion. "How can you say and do that? Children should never be forced to kill! Nobody should have to kill anything! People should live in peace and be nice to everyone! How could all three of you be so heartless! It isn't even human!" Haku's head lowered slightly. Naruto glanced at her, then directed his gaze on the Genin before him.
"What you dream of is an ideal world. Even Haku still wishes for a utopian society where everything, man and mer, can coexist peacefully. Sadly, especially for Shinobi, as long as man returns to his base instinct, hate, rage, envy, lust, greed, all these and a thousand more will continue to exist in the deepest, darkest recesses of the human psyche. As long as these thrive, the utopia we dream for will never come to be." Even Kimmimaro was shaken at the pessimistic thoughts.
Kurenai still had more to say. "If you truly believe that, why create more suffering and pain? Why continue a cycle that will destroy the people of the Wave?" Naruto smiled almost sadly. "We are ninja. We must sacrifice our morals, and become something less human to serve our village.
The three Akagan faced the Konoha Shinobi with determination burning in their eyes.
"And just try and stop us!"

Yo! I took a bit, hemmed and hawed, but finally chapter seven is complete. You like it? I added a new dimension to the Akagan trio by giving them actual human emotions. After all, the only people that truly exist without emotions are not truly people. Kinda hard to write romance when there's nothing to romance, yeah?
Now, on to my utterly pointless yet entirely justified and funny rant!
Some people asked me to rant against Yaoi fangirls. I'm going to go ahead and get all the sexuality stuff out of the way first. I am totally comfortable and confident in the fact I am straight. This, of course allows for rather funny opportunities. My friends and myself can sometimes act gay just to freak people out. This doesn't bother me, because I know my sexuality. I have absolutely no problem with a reasonable amount of Yaoi that is sure to go along with any anime/manga. What I do have a problem with is the massive amount of pointless and retarded amount of Yaoi in the Naruto fandom. I'm going to go ahead and agree with some of my fellow authors and my readers that the blame falls solely on the fangirls.
Now, this is not to say that fangirls are responsible for all the Yaoi. Some is written by people who are actually homosexual and proud of it. I salute and commend you, sirs, for totally not giving a crap about what everyone else says. The stories written by people who are actually gay make up about 5 of the total majority. The other 95, you ask? Fangirls. Bloody, fucking fangirls.
You see, beloved readers, fangirls are people with no life. They have no activity outside of dreaming about being cooler, or popular, or whatever the hell it is they dream about. Now these people would be harmless on their own, but for one thing. Where there are teenage girls, there are nightmarish amounts of hormones. Hormones that lead to them, thinking, slowly but surely, that guys are "Hot". That goes to the two guys standing near each other are "Hot". Then comes a downward spiral of thinking that culminates in "those two guys having sex is hot". Most certainly not. Now add those two together and you get Hormone-Crazed Harpies of Doom!
For added information on this stupidity, check out avid writer Specula's profile page. There is a GIF link on there that sums up Yaoi stories pretty well. It is also HI-larious. Also, why not look at his stories? Review them as well. He certainly has quite a talent for writing.
That is my rant on Yaoi, ladies and gentleman. Goodnight, and I hope to keep you all interested in my story.
