Hello all Storm here with a new story! Here we'll be seeing Naruto gaining some very special and familiar powers, from some unlikely sources, and fair warning there are some serious dark moments in this chapter. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
'Damn those humans and that dog! Always getting in the way and ruining my plans!' Thought the being known as The Lich, with it cursing those humans Finn and Ice Finn, along with that damn dog Jake.
The Lich had been so close to gaining access to the entire multiverse, to bring death to all living beings as was its purpose. Having possessed Farmworld Jake and manipulated Farmworld Finn to help The Lich create a portal to the entire multiverse. But it was all ruined by the arrival of the original Finn and Jake, the same fools that had stopped its incarnation in their world as well. The Lich had thought it could handle them easily, since they didn't have any weapons that could harm it, nor were they willing to harm Ice Finn.
But Finn had managed to get the Ice Crown knocked off Ice Finn's head, before being able to convince him to help them defeat The Lich. With The Lich actually being worried when they worked together to use The Maid against him, which would have erased him entirely if it hit. Luckily though, The Lich was able to seal its spirit and power away within the Ice Crown, before teleporting it away to a new dimension. So, while its body may have been destroyed, The Lich still lived.
Though The Lich was still angered at it, a being that was beyond strength and time, who has destroyed countless worlds as if they were nothing but dust before its power. And yet, somehow, it was defeated by nothing more than two idiot human children and a rubber dog!
Now the Ice Crown was randomly transporting between dimensions, given The Lich didn't choose a set destination for where it would go, only caring to avoid itself being erased from existence. With the cosmic being only hoping that it'll soon reach a dimension soon, preferably one where it can possess someone and begin planning its revenge.
*Elemental Nations*
*Konoha*
Meanwhile, within the Land of Fire was the Hidden Village, Konohagakure. Where at the moment, the Chūnin Exams were being held. Where Genin from all over entered to see if they had what it takes to become Chūnin. With the exams being, traditionally, split into three parts, with a preliminary round happening as well, should too many participants pass the first two stages.
With this Chūnin Exams having had such a preliminary round, putting the Genin against each other in one-on-one matches to decide the finalists of the third stage. But one thing all Genin learned during the second stage, is that deaths do happen in the exams, being allowed to take out the competition. With the rule carried over to the preliminaries as well, where several matches resulted in several Genin being critically injured, but still lived.
Unfortunately, one such death had still happened.
Currently walking through the village was one Naruto Uzumaki, wearing all black as opposed to his normal orange jumpsuit. Along with an uncharacteristically hollow and downcast expression on his face.
Both of which being due to Naruto having just left the funeral of his teammate Hinata Hyūga, who had sadly died in her match during the preliminary stage. With the whiskered blonde also doing his best to ignore the whispers and glares from the villagers.
"Just another person the freak's gotten killed."
"The demon's finally showing its true colors."
"Everywhere it goes, more people die."
"It should have been killed before any more people died."
"Look at it, acting like it cares, it probably planned the whole thing."
"The monster should have died, instead of all those people."
The more Naruto heard; the more painful memories kept flooding back to him. Memories he tried keeping buried since they started happening. But no matter how hard he tried, the memories soon came to the front of his mind, as Naruto went back to when everything started going downhill.
With it having started the night, he stole the Forbidden Scroll after being tricked by Mizuki, only for Iruka to show up instead. Leading to Naruto learning not only was it a trap, but also about the fact he had the Kyūbi sealed within him. After that, Naruto simply ran away, having panicked at what he just learned and believing everyone hated him, even Iruka. Though he had overheard Iruka defend him against Mizuki, showing the Chūnin did care about him, leading to Naruto to jump out and fight Mizuki. Using his newly learned Shadow Clone Jutsu to fight Mizuki, looking like he was going to win through sheer numbers.
Only for Mizuki to reveal some strange potion, which Naruto now knew was a Prototype Curse Seal given to Mizuki by Orochimaru. With the traitor drinking the potion, which vastly increased his strength and speed, allowing to destroy all of Naruto's clones before beating him into the ground. All while laughing and taunting him, before then turning his attention to Iruka. Forcing Naruto to watch as he beat Iruka within an inch of his life, before then proceeding to snap his neck right in front of the whiskered blonde.
After that, Naruto blacked out before waking up to see the Sandaime Hokage, telling him both Iruka and Mizuki are dead. With Anbu having found Naruto unconscious, covered in blood, and surrounded by Mizuki's body, or what was left of it anyway. Before telling Naruto that he had also officially become a Genin, being given Iruka's forehead protector, since the Chūnin would have wanted him to have it. Something Naruto reluctantly took, feeling like he didn't deserve it after failing to save Iruka.
Then came time for teams to be made, with Naruto being put on Team Seven with Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata, with their Jōnin Sensei being Kakashi Hatake. With the three managing to pass his test and become an official team, with Naruto beginning to feel better and more like himself, now that he was on a team and felt like he was starting to make friends.
But then came their first C-Rank Mission to the Land of Waves, having been hired by the bridge builder Tazuna to escort him back home. Only to learn the mission was much more difficult when they encountered the Demon Brothers and Zabuza Momochi, along with his partner Haku. Though while they were able to make it to Tazuna's house, where they were greeted by his daughter Tsunami and her son Inari. They still had to wait for Tazuna to finish his bridge, along with deal with Zabuza and Gatō. With Naruto having trained every day to be ready for it and would have trained into the night if it wasn't for Hinata making sure he got some sleep.
The mission ended with Zabuza and Haku dying, the latter after taking a hit meant for her master, and Zabuza after Gatō revealed he was going to betray him. With the Demon of the Mist then killing Gatō and anyone who got in his way, before dying as well. While the remaining bandits were scared off by Naruto and Kakashi's Shadow Clones. Unfortunately, they'd all learn it was a pyrrhic victory when they returned to Tazuna's house, only to find Tsunami and Inari both dead, having been killed by Gatō's men beforehand, with them having originally been supposed to be taken hostage. Only to be killed when they kept struggling.
Something that had devastated Tazuna, with the old man completing his bridge and repaying Konoha for the mission using Gato's fortune. Only for them to later learn that Tazuna had killed himself, having nothing left to live for with the loss of his daughter and grandson. With this causing Naruto to feel the same as when Iruka died, believing he could have done something to help, but wasn't able to.
With it not helping that due to him being connected to both incidents, along with word having spread through the village, the villagers began blaming him for the deaths. Believing that everywhere he goes someone was going to die, something Naruto couldn't even argue against, since that seemed to be the case.
What had hurt even worse, was that not long after they returned from Wave Country, Naruto had learned that Ichiraku Ramen had been destroyed during a fire. Though the stand itself being destroyed hadn't hurt nearly as much, as when Naruto learned that Teuchi and Ayame had been caught inside. The whiskered blonde now losing two more people he cared about and wasn't there to help them.
Something Naruto hadn't been able to see, due to his sadness at the repeated losses and deaths, was what a coincidence it was that Ichiraku's is destroyed while Teuchi and Ayame are killed. The Jinchūriki knowing neither of them would have been reckless enough to start a fire by accident. Along with how in a village full of Ninja, a fire could be made to like a "tragic accident", that just so happened to "unfortunately" only kill two people. Two people that happened to care about him, someone the entire village hated more than ever.
With Naruto not being able to see such things, to focused on the fact that it did seem like wherever he went, more people kept dying.
Then came when Kakashi entered them into the Chūnin Exams, with the first stage going rather well, though Naruto did feel nervous about it being a written test. But then when the second stage, started things only went further downhill as they were attacked by Orochimaru, who had bitten Sasuke, marking him with a completed Curse Seal. Somehow, they managed to still complete the test and qualify for the third stage, but first had to win their matches in the preliminary rounds. With Naruto and Sasuke both managing to beat their opponent, while Hinata had been put against her cousin Neji.
Hinata had been close to forfeiting after Neji had insulted her, believing her fate was to always be a weakling. Only for her to choose to fight after hearing Naruto's encouragement and belief in her, wanting to prove him right for believing she was strong. Only to end up being brutalized and knocked down by Neji, who attacked her without remorse causing intense internal damage. But when the match was about to be called, Naruto stopped it and pointed to Hinata who was getting back up, still believing in his teammate.
That's when Neji had finally had enough and struck Hinata in her heart, killing her in front of everyone, with the Jōnin not having time to jump in and stop him. With Naruto being horrified at seeing his teammate be killed, and would have attacked Neji if he wasn't stopped, but swore to make him pay. The whiskered blonde now understanding Sasuke's desire for revenge against his brother, wanting to avenge Hinata for what Neji did.
However, that wasn't the end of it as then the others started blaming both Naruto and Neji for Hinata's death. Blaming him for encouraging her to fight someone she couldn't beat. Even when it was clear she was already beaten, he still encouraged her to keep going, leading to her being killed. With the rest of the village having the same view, some even believing Naruto planned the whole thing.
To make things worse, when Naruto had tried asking Kakashi to train him for the month break, the Jōnin had just brushed him off to the closet pervert Ebisu, while he trained Sasuke. But that hadn't been the worst of it, as Kakashi had even said that maybe Naruto should just quit now before things get worse.
What really hurt Naruto was the fact Kakashi didn't even say he should quit the Chūnin Exams, just that he should quit entirely on being a Ninja before anyone else dies. While he didn't come out and say it, the Uzumaki could tell that's what he meant.
If that wasn't enough, Ebisu had been knocked out by some old guy peeking into the hot springs, along with having summoned a giant toad. With Naruto having tried pleading with the guy to train him for the exams to avenge his teammate. Only for the guy to brush him off too, even going as far as to call him naïve and foolish before leaving, without giving so much as an apology for knocking out Ebisu.
That had been yesterday, with Naruto having attended Hinata's funeral today, and even now he couldn't even mourn his teammate peacefully without being blamed for her death. And being reminded of everything else that he's been through, being blamed for all of it. Leading to Naruto simply walking out of the village and into the forest, wanting at least a moment in peace without something else happening that the villagers would blame him for.
Though as Naruto sat against a tree, he was unaware of the Ice Crown appearing directly over him, with the crown falling down and landing right on top of Naruto's head.
"What the?" Naruto said, confused at feeling a sudden weight on his head, only to grip his head and scream in sudden pain as the Ice Crown began glowing blue and green, as The Lich and the crowns magic began affecting him.
Though rather than taking control of Naruto or possessing him, Naruto's Chakra and the Kyūbi's own began fighting back against the possession. Resulting in Narutos feeling excruciating pain in his head at the different wills battling for dominance.
The Uzumaki gritted his teeth in pain before grabbing the crown and tried to take it off, only to be horrified when he couldn't get it off his head.
'Wh-what the hell is this?! Why…why won't it come off?!' Naruto thought as he desperately tried removing the crown.
Though as Naruto tried removing the crown, the various powers fighting each other seemed to have reached an agreement on what to do, as the Ice Crown turned from its bright gold color into a dark midnight black color. While the red gems turned a cold icy blue before merging at the center of it. Before it began transforming from a normal crown, into a helmet that covered Naruto's entire head except his mouth and eyes.
Naruto then gasped as his snapped open, showing his now black sclera and glowing icy blue eyes, as The Lich, his dark half created from his suppressed negative emotions, and something far older merged with Naruto, granting him access to all their powers, memories, and abilities. With a white sun mark soon appearing on Naruto's palm as well, with it soon turning into a blood red color.
Naruto's arm released the helmet as his body began transforming, his skin turning a deathly blue color and became cold to the touch, his ears grew pointed, his hair turned a snow white color, and short black horns sprouted from his forehead.
With his transformation now complete, Naruto stood up fully, taking a deep breath before releasing a breath of frozen air.
"I still have a month to prepare for my match." Naruto said lowly as he walked off, dragging his hand along several trees as he did so, causing them to either wilt away and die or be frozen solid.
*Timeskip-One Week*
*Hokage's Office*
"I can't remember the last time the village looked this tense, Sensei. Feels like we're going to be attacked any day." Jiraiya said as he sat within the Hokage's Office after coming to see his old teacher, once he had gotten settled back in the village to give his report.
"Yes well, the news that a Clan Heiress is killed by her own cousin will have that affect." Stated Sarutobi, knowing things were tense once news began spreading of Hinata's death, something that still saddened the elderly Kage.
"Yeah, I'm guessing the Hyūga's aren't too thrilled about that, especially since it was a branch member that killed her. Probably don't want the rest getting any ideas." Said Jiraiya, with the Hokage nodding before narrowing his eyes.
"Yes, but Hiashi's told me he's already made an example of Neji, while he'll still compete in the exams, he's reminded the entire Hyūga Clan why his word is law to them. Hinata's teammates were also saddened at her death, Naruto in particular was devastated and wishes to avenge her. It's just a shame no one will give him the chance to try." Hiruzen said harshly, making Jiraiya flinch in guilt knowing he himself was included in that statement.
It had actually been Jiraiya's intentions to train Naruto after giving the Hokage his reports from his spy network. Having also returned to train his godson after learning he was in the Chūnin Exams. But when he encountered him at the hot springs, Jiraiya had been disappointed at his seeming naivety and foolishness at putting so much stalk into a single match, acting like it was life or death. Leading to him criticizing Naruto at begging for help for a single match that, in the long run, wouldn't mean anything. Then deciding against training him, figuring that losing his match would do the kid some good.
Only to later learn the full story of what happened, and realized Naruto hadn't been naïve or foolish, just desperate to avenge his teammate after watching her die. Something his teacher had ripped into him about after he learned what had happened.
"I swear I'll make it up to the kid, I'll teach him whatever he wants for his match." Jiraiya said, having intended to go find Naruto to apologize and offer him training, but he couldn't find the kid anywhere in the village or the surrounding area, as if he just vanished into thin air.
"You better Jiraiya or so help me, I will tie you up and seal away your Chakra. While telling every single Kunoichi in the village that you have pictures of all of them naked or changing, before letting them do whatever they want to you." Threatened Sarutobi, refusing to deal with his perverted students excuses if he didn't make good on training Naruto, along with apologizing to him.
With Jiraiya turning deathly pale at the threat, before rapidly nodding his head in fear of that happening, knowing he'd definitely die if it did.
*Land of Waves*
Within the Land of Waves, a black cloaked hooded figure stood before two graves that overlooked the bridge connecting Wave Country to the mainland. With the two graves being marked by a large sword and the other by a Hunter-Nin's mask.
The figure looked at the two graves with black and blue eyes beneath their hood, before reaching out and grabbing the sword, pulling it out of the ground with one hand.
"Kubikiribōchō, the Executioner's Blade. Possessing the ability to harvest and absorb the blood of its victims to reform itself, should it ever be damaged, and used to grow stronger. Now it will become the most powerful blade in existence." Said the stranger before grabbing the handle with both hands and channeling their power into it, causing the blade to be covered in a black and blue aura.
Then the sword began transforming, taking on a more traditional appearance and form as a two-handed longsword, with a demon's skull on the cross guard, and glowing blue runes running along the blade. The stranger then turned the newly transformed blade over, showing an inscription on the other side of it.
"Whomsoever takes up this blade shall wield power eternal. From this moment on, your name shall be…Frostmourne." Naruto stated as Frostmourne's runes glowed, as if in response to its new name
Naruto then sheathed his new blade onto his left side, before looking back at Zabuza and Haku's graves, creating two bouquets of frozen blue roses and set them down in front of the graves. His business now complete, Naruto vanished in a swirl of snow.
*Timeskip-Two Days*
Naruto walked silently through Kakashi and Sasuke's camp, with the two having long since gone to sleep after a full day of training. And they wouldn't be waking up any time soon, at least not until Naruto was done here.
Going over to his teammate, Naruto looked down at Sasuke, walking around until he stood in front of the Uchiha's head, before crouching down.
"Can you hear me in there, Indra." Naruto said, looking at the transmigrant of Indra Ōtsutsuki, like how he was the transmigrant of Asura Ōtsutsuki, two brothers destined to forever reincarnate and fight each other.
Until Naruto had merged with Asura's Chakra within him when the Ice Crown fell on his head, putting an end to on half of the feud. And now he intended to put an end to the other half as well.
"You probably can't hear me, but if you can. Just know, this endless feud between you and Asura, it ends now. Everyone you were, everything you are, belongs to me now." Said Naruto while pressing a finger to Sasuke's forehead, before drawing it back as he extracted Indra's Chakra and power from him and absorbed it into himself.
Taking a breath, Naruto's eyes snapped open, revealing they were now crimson red with three tomoes circling them, before they transformed further now resembling the Uzumaki Clan's symbol.
Doing what he came to do, Naruto teleported away.
*Timeskip-Three Weeks*
*Konoha*
One month has officially passed with the Chūnin Exam Finals being just moments away from starting.
Though, while most of the finalists had already gathered at the arena, Naruto, after returning to Konoha, had gone directly to the cemetery, and now stood in front of Hinata's grave. With the transformed Uzumaki still wearing a hooded black cloak with Frostmourne sheathed at his side. Along with wearing his helmet/crown and dark black armor covering his entire body. While in his hand he held a bouquet of frozen blue roses.
Since his transformation, Naruto has been training in the new abilities he's gained along with sorting through all the memories of The Lich and Asura Ōtsutsuki.
In addition to that, Naruto had also taken a trip to several locations, gathering several things and items that belong to him, including a certain abandoned temple not too far from Konoha. Where he not only gained the full power of the Kyūbi, but a new servant as well. Along with having sent out dozens of Shadow Clones throughout the nations to fulfill unfinished business he had, along with gaining real combat experience. His clones also gathering some rather useful items that he could use for when he finally leaves.
While the real Naruto himself trained in a very special way, using his newly acquired and near godlike magic, he had slowed down the time of the entire world to half its normal speed. Before he then created a single area where time flowed at twice the normal speed. Giving Naruto four months' worth of time to train his new abilities.
And with his more organized mind, near endless Chakra Reserves, and the Shadow Clone Jutsu, Naruto has grown powerful enough to be a high Kage level to a Sannin level. And he'll only keep growing stronger, given he's still young and has plenty more training to do, and experience to gain.
Now though, he's finally returned to Konoha to settle the debt Neji owes him and his cousin, along with wanting to pay his respect one last time to his teammate. Having also done the same to Iruka, Tazuna, Tsunami, Inari, Teuchi, and Ayame's graves as well, wanting to pay his respects to the people he cared about. Having saved going to Hinata's grave for last.
With the former blonde kneeling down and placing the flowers in front of Hinata's grave before standing up. Naruto clenching his fists as he remembered the times they had together, after being put on Team Seven. How she always stuttered or fainted around him before she was able to grow stronger and learned how to speak around him and not faint. How she actually wanted to hang out with him and get to know him, to be his friend.
And with the new memories he's gained, Naruto finally realized just why Hinata had always been shy around him, something that only made him angrier at how she was killed.
"You didn't deserve what happened, you didn't deserve to be blamed for something you had no control in, you didn't deserve to be written off as a failure or as being too kind. You deserved so much more than what happened, you deserve a chance." Said Naruto while putting a hand on Frostmourne, knowing he had the power to bring her back to life, to give her a second chance.
"But I'm not going to put you through that. Since what I'm going to do, you wouldn't want it, you would want him to live, to forgive him when he doesn't deserve it, to have me forgive him. But I can't…I've forgiven too much already, showed mercy when it wasn't deserved. And now…I'm all out of mercy." Naruto said before removing his hand, knowing that while he'd like to revive Hinata and allow her the chance to live the life that was stolen from her, he wasn't going to hurt her by having her live to see what he's going to do.
The white-haired boy then placed a hand on Hinata's grave.
"It's funny, I think that…you were my only real friend here. Who always supported me, even when I didn't know it, always believing in me. I'm sorry I couldn't return your friendship sooner, to see if I could have returned your feelings. Now, all I can do is wish you good luck in the next life and hope you find peace. And I only ask one thing, if you're still watching what's happening, I need you to look away now." Said Naruto before removing his hand and teleporting away.
*Arena*
Meanwhile, within the arena Neji stood in along with the proctor Genma Shiranui, as they waited to see if his opponent would show up or not. Him and his foolish promise to avenge Hinata.
Though thinking about it, Neji's mind went to everything that's happened since he killed Hinata in his anger and hatred. Along with the punishment he endured from Hiashi, having had his seal activated in front of the entire clan, with it feeling like it lasted for hours, when really it was only thirty minutes. With this being done to send a message to the entire clan of what happens to those that threaten the main house, no matter who they were.
Then in private, his uncle had coldly told him the truth of his father's death and sacrifice, how he chose to die to save his brother and protect the Hyūga Clan's secrets. And that was the only reason Hiashi didn't kill Neji, was out of respect for his brother, a life for a life. But then swore if he did anything to hurt Hanabi or so much as glared at her, Hiashi wouldn't hesitate to kill his nephew, the same way he killed Hinata.
With this being the first time Neji was truly terrified of his uncle, knowing he meant every word of what he just said and would in fact kill him.
Afterwards, everyone else began doing their best to avoid him, unless it was absolutely necessary, even his own teammates and teacher refused to interact with him. With Lee even telling the hospital staff that Neji wasn't allowed to visit him while he was recovering. With Tenten also refusing to help him train for the month, leaving Neji to train on his own for the finals.
"Last call for Naruto Uzumaki!" Genma said pulling out his watch, having waited a few moments to see if the Uzumaki would show up, but so far there hasn't been any sign of him.
"Hmph, perhaps the coward was smart enough to show up, less he share the same fate as the other failure." Neji said mockingly, regaining some of his bravado, while ignoring the glares sent at him from the Konoha Genin in the stands.
Though suddenly a chilling wind swept through the entire arena, one that sent shivers up everyone's spines at the suddenness of it, along with the feeling it carried. A feeling of a cold icy hand reaching out to grasp them and had no intention of letting go.
Then to everyone's confusion and suspension, dark clouds suddenly appeared overhead, blocking out the sun and casting the entire village in darkness before snow began falling. Something that made those in the stands mutter amongst each other in confusion at the strangeness of it. Though everyone soon tensed up, as their nerves began rising when they heard footsteps echoing around them. Along with hearing a soft, disturbing melody playing around them.
I've got no strings
To hold me down
To make me fret
Or make me frown
I had strings
But now I'm free
With Neji feeling the worse, as the Hyūga couldn't help but feel as if a thousand eyes were watching him, judging him, condemning him. Feeling that he was no longer standing in the middle of an arena, but now being escorted to the gallows with the noose already wrapped around his neck.
'What…what is this feeling?' Neji thought while looking down at his shaking hand.
It wasn't fear, he knew what that felt like. No, this feeling was something else, something far more primal than fear. Neji wasn't sure exactly what it was, but he knew one thing.
Whatever this feeling was…it was cold.
Just then, everyone's attention turned to the attention as the footsteps they all heard were revealed to belong to an armored teen, who entered the arena and stood across from the nervous Hyūga.
"N-name?" Genma asked gulping, feeling something just…off about this person, even more so when they looked at him with glowing icy blue eyes.
"Naruto Uzumaki." Revealed Naruto, much to everyone's shock at the Jinchūriki's appearance.
*Stands*
"It seems Naruto has…gone through some changes." Shino stated, doing a good job at hiding the nervousness he was feeling, while his insects buzzed fearfully and urged him to get away from Naruto, who now seemed to radiate an aura of cold and death.
"Who cares what the loser is wearing. He shouldn't even be here after what he did, I should be the one making that bastard Neji pay." Kiba muttered glaring at Naruto and Neji, blaming both of them for Hinata's death, with Shino glancing at his teammate.
"Kiba with all due respect, Naruto couldn't have known Neji would kill his own cousin and was merely supporting his teammate to do her best and not give up." Said Shino, knowing Naruto wasn't really responsible for Hinata's death.
"The idiot should've just kept his mouth shut, at least then Hinata would have forfeited and still be alive. It's his fault she's dead, he practically killed her himself." Said Sakura to her teammate.
"Then perhaps Naruto should have stayed silent, while you were possessed by Ino and let her make you forfeit." Shino retorted while looking at the pinkette, making her fall silent, since it was only Naruto's encouragement that helped her fight off Ino's Mind Transfer Jutsu.
"All of you stop now." Said Kurenai, looking at her students before looking back down in the arena.
"With any luck, they'll just kill each other. Even if they deserve worse." Kurenai muttered, wanting to see both of them die for what they did to Hinata.
Not seeing her friend Anko glare at her, angry that Kurenai was blaming the former blonde brat for the shy brat's death. Though the Snake Mistress looked back into the arena as she, like many others, were curious of the kid's sudden change. Wondering what could have resulted in such a drastic change in only a months' time.
*Arena*
Genma could only nod at hearing this was Naruto, processing how someone could go through such a drastic change.
"Very well. Now that both combatants have arrived, the first round of the Chūnin Exam Finals may begin! Hajime!" Genma said before jumping out of the arena, with Neji smirking at Naruto.
"You made a mistake showing up failure, now you'll simply be meeting the same fate as my fool of a cousin." Neji taunted, trying to goad Naruto into attacking him so he could end this quickly.
"Shut up slave." Said Naruto coldly, with his response shocking everyone, not expecting Naruto of all people to say something like that, while Neji's patience cracked at being called a slave.
"What did you just say?!" Neji demanded through gritted teeth.
"You heard me, I called you a slave. But not because of that mark on your forehead. No, you're a slave because you choose to stay trapped within your own hatred, anger, and beliefs that we're all bound by a single fate. That is what makes you a slave." Naruto said, as Neji shook in anger before he ripped his headband off showing his Caged Bird Seal.
"Don't dare think to talk about something you have no knowledge of! I was branded with this seal when I was four-years-old, forever condemning to be a servant of the Main House! Then my father had to give his life to save his brother, all because he was born after Hiashi-sama and had this same seal placed on him! This is proof that everyone, from the moment we're born, are forever bound to a single fate that can never be changed or escaped! I'm fated to be enslaved my entire life to the Main House, just like you are forever fated to be a failure, just like that weakling Hinata!" Growled Neji before putting his headband back on, while Naruto looked at him neutrally.
"If that's true, then why didn't Hinata force you to surrender your match or even activate your seal to make you surrender?" Naruto questioned before he continued speaking.
"Because she was a kind person, one who wished to unite the Main and Branch Houses of her clan, to have the Cage Bird Seal removed and never used again. But you didn't care about that, you simply saw an easy target to blame and hate, knowing she wouldn't fight back or use the seal. As I said that mark doesn't make you a slave, you yourself choose to make yourself one. Even if you didn't have that mark on your forehead, you'd still be the same petty, weak, coward that would hate someone that looked up to and respected you. You killed the only person who care about you and now you're alone Neji Hyūga, now the only thing you have left are your beliefs. And before the end of this tournament, I will take away that as well. And then you will have nothing, you will be nothing, but you still always be a slave from now until you breathe your last breath. In all honesty, I don't even hate you, all I can feel for a sad, pathetic, little creature like you…is pity." Naruto said while narrowing his eyes at Neji.
*Kage Booth*
"My Hokage-dono your Genin is certainly…brutal." Said the Kazekage, really Orochimaru in disguise, while looking at Sarutobi.
"Yes, Naruto was rather…devastated by his teammates death. Apparently more than I initially believed." Hiruzen said, not expecting to hear such words from Naruto before glancing at Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya, could it be possible the Kyūbi is affecting Naruto?" Whispered Sarutobi to his student.
"I…I'm honestly not sure. Everything that's happened, the clouds, the snow, and just the…dread in the air. I'm not sure if it's the Kyūbi, or something else entirely. But one thing's for sure, something's definitely happened." Jiraiya replied, looking at his godson in worry, wondering what could have happened to cause such a drastic change.
*Arena*
Neji breathed heavily as he felt pure rage and hatred rushing through him at what Naruto just said, that this failure would dare insult him in such a way, to dare pity him! Him, who was regarded as a prodigy of the Hyūga Clan, who had learned techniques that only Main House members knew! Him, who had delivered a blow against the Main House by taking away their Clan Head's eldest daughter!
The Hyūga roared with rage before rushing Naruto, thrusting his palm forward to strike him in the heart, just like he did Hinata. Only to suddenly gasp in shock when he found himself frozen up to neck, while Naruto held out a single hand. Naruto then stepped forward and ripped Neji's headband off, before putting his hand on the Caged Bird Seal. With the Hyūga crying out in pain for a moment before Naruto removed his hand.
Then to Neji's complete shock, Naruto created an ice mirror showing his reflection, a reflection that didn't possess the Caged Bird Seal.
"It's…it's gone?" Neji muttered in shock and disbelief, disbelief that was shared by the Hyūga Clan members in the stands.
With Sarutobi and Jiraiya being shocked at how Naruto was able to remove a seal, even they didn't know how to. While Orochimaru was intrigued and worried, wondering if Naruto was also capable of removing his Curse Mark as well.
"Yes, your cage is now gone. But as I said, even without that mark, you will always be a slave, from this moment until your last. Which for you, is right now." Said Naruto before, to everyone's horror, his hand shot out and ripped Neji's eyes right out of his head.
Though Neji not even having time to scream in pain and horror at the loss of his eyes, before Naruto smashed his fist through his frozen body, shattering it. While the Hyūga's head was launched into the air, with Naruto grabbing it midair, before crushing it in his hand. With the former blonde then looking up into the stands, taking in the horrified expressions on everyone's faces at he just did.
"I have avenged Hinata's death and memory, the same girl you all accused me of having a hand in her death. I have also claimed Neji's Byakugan as spoils of war. And as of this moment, I'm taking back everything that belongs to me, my clan, and my parents. My parents, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, the Yellow Flash and Red Death!" Naruto declared, much to everyone's further shock and horror, with Sarutobi and Jiraiya freaking out at how Naruto somehow knew about his parents.
Though just as quickly, the Konoha citizens and Ninja began shouting denials, insults, and refusals, none of them willing to believe the "Demon Brat" could ever be the son of their Yondaime Hokage. With Sarutobi about to reveal that it was true and try to play damage control. Only for Naruto to begin speaking and add more fuel to the proverbial fire he started.
"All of you are so…pathetic. You worship my Tou-san as if he was a god, yet you all are so blinded by your ignorance and hatred, that you refuse to see that I was once a tiny version of him with whisker-marks. Instead, you all chose to only see me as a monster, a demon. You're all not even real people, all I see are puppets being pulled along by their master. You're all just puppets, tangled in strings. Strings that once bound me as well, but now…there are no strings on me." Naruto said darkly as his eyes glowed before he began speaking again.
"And it's not just what belongs to me that I have taken back, I have once again stolen the Forbidden Scroll, as well taken everything of the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan, as if one was going to be wasted away by an overgrown child throwing a pity party and the other only sitting around gathering dust, then I will take it all for myself." Said Naruto, along with having used the one month to retrieve everything Tsunade had gambled away.
"Now I will be taking my leave, as I refuse to be in a village full of mindless sheep and puppets any longer, may you all rot in whatever hell there is." Naruto said, smirking as he felt the anger and hatred radiating from the crowd, his words having the exact affect he wanted.
The fact that they used him for years as their scapegoat for the Kyūbi, and later Hinata's death at Neji's hands. The fact that he's now "mocking" their beloved Yondaime Hokage by "claiming" he's his son, then admitting to treason essentially. Naruto wasn't surprised, when dozens of Ninja jumped down into the arena with weapons drawn to kill him.
As that is exactly what he wanted.
Creating a glowing blue ball above him, Naruto swiped his hand through the air, as the ball to explode, unleashing hundreds of razor sharp icicles. Icicles that launched through the air, punching straight through the Ninja's bodies, and killing every single one of them. With the icicles continued on into the stands, killing anyone that wasn't fast enough to get out of the way.
'I need to start the invasion now!' Orochimaru thought, signaling Kabuto to activate the Temple of Nirvana, knowing he needed to start his invasion now, otherwise it'd be completely ruined thanks to these unexpected events.
With the Snake Sannin then triggering the explosion, before grabbing both Hiruzen and Jiraiya, dragging them up to the roof of the Kage Booth. While the Sound Four revealed themselves and activated the barrier, trapping the three together, before creating another to protect themselves from outside attackers.
Meanwhile, within the stands, Oto and Suna Ninja revealed themselves with the remaining Konoha Ninja that weren't dead began fighting off the sudden invading forces. Though a few still glared hatefully at Naruto as he cut down anyone who got in his way, before going after him. With some of those being Kiba, Sakura, and Kurenai.
"Kurenai don't! He's just baiting you to attack him!" Anko warned, knowing that Naruto's words had been meant to get a reaction like this, making everyone angry enough to attack him, ignoring how easily he's killing anyone near him.
"He killed Hinata and now he's killing even more people! That monster is going to die now!" Retorted Kurenai before running off with two of her students, making Anko mentally curse.
"I'll get them!" Said Asuma, jumping after the three to stop them from doing anything that'd get them killed.
While with Naruto, he was showing how much of his father's son he was, as he decimated an entire village, just like Minato did during the Third Ninja War. With the irony not being lost on Naruto that the village he was currently decimating was Konoha.
With the Uzumaki either waving his hands causing spikes of ice and wood to shoot up and impale several Ninja or cutting them down with Frostmourne. With their souls then being absorbed into the rune blade, empowering both it and Naruto.
"Fang over Fang!"
Hearing the shout, Naruto turned and held out his hand, freezing Kiba, the transformed Akamaru, and Sakura in place when they tried rushing him.
"You bastard you're going to pay-" Sakura was silenced when Naruto's hand wrapped around her jaw and mouth before he pulled out a kunai and channeled Wind Chakra through it.
"You really should have learned to keep that mouth shut." Stated Naruto, before he pressed the wind-enhanced kunai against Sakura's forehead as he began cutting it off, the pinkette's screams being muffled by his hand.
Once Naruto had fully cut around Sakura's forehead, he grabbed hold of it before ripping it clean off her head, while unfreezing Sakura as she fell to the ground unmoving.
"You son of a bitch! I'm gonna fucking kill you!" Kiba shouted, glaring murderously at Naruto, who merely looked at him with a raised brow.
"She always complained about her forehead, I merely did her a favor and removed it. Perhaps you can use it as a chew toy." Naruto said mockingly, throwing the severed forehead on Kiba's head.
Naruto's hand then shot out and grabbed Akamaru by his neck, after the puppy transformed back to normal and managed to free himself from the ice to attack Naruto. Only for it to backfire as Naruto began squeezing his neck.
"NO! Let him go you bastard!" Yelled Kiba, angry and fearful for his partner.
"Okay." Replied Naruto, smirking before squeezing Akamaru's neck tighter until he heard it finally snap and kill the dog.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kiba screamed in horror and agony at seeing his and friend be killed, even worse when Naruto tossed his corpse at his feet.
Though his screams turned into ones of pain as Naruto then cut off the Inuzuka's arms and legs, not only rendering him a cripple, but also robbing him of the chance to avenge his partner.
Not that it'll matter, when Naruto's done here and leaves.
"You bastard! First you killed Hinata and now you're doing all this?! The others were right, you're nothing but a damn demon!" Kiba yelled.
"Oh please, like you actually ever cared about Hinata." Scoffed Naruto.
"Of course I did! How dare-"
"No you didn't, you lusted after her like a dog in heat. You never got to truly know her, spend time with her, or anything like that. Instead you acted like you were a supposed alpha while in reality you're even below an omega." Continued Naruto.
"Shut up, Hinata was mine! Mine to mark as my mate, and then break into my own personal bitch! I decided that when I saw her perfect body, the moment that me, Hibachi and the guys decided to peek in the girl's locker room, back at the Academy! When it was decided that the two of you would be on the same team, I would have thought that she would realize what a loser you really were! Opening the door way for me to show Hinata a real Alpha, maybe even let Hibachi and the guys have a piece of her, if they wanted! Since I'm sure they would have loved to touch that ass, as well! Only for the two of you to end up becoming close, with her getting killed because of your big damn mouth!" Kiba exclaimed, no longer hiding his true intentions as he anger, jealousy and hatred for Naruto consumed him, tearing away at the last of his sanity.
Completely oblivious to Naruto glaring daggers at him before he raised the kunai he used to kill Sakura at the frozen Inuzuka.
"Well, I doubt that any girl would want to be with you, now that you've spilled the beans like that, for all to hear. Especially now that I'm going to do what anyone would do to a rowdy beast like you." Naruto said, and with a slice of his kunai, Naruto neutered Kiba, causing the other boy to scream in shock and pain.
"Oh please, it's not like you'll ever get to use it now or ever." Naruto said, without a hint of sympathy.
Though Naruto then looked when a tree began forming around and trapping him, before Kurenai emerged with a murderous look on her face.
"Die monster!" Kurenai shouted, stabbing a kunai into Naruto's throat, before ripping it out and stabbing him again and again.
The woman doing this repeatedly until Naruto's head fell off his body, as she panted and released her Genjutsu, still glaring hatefully at Naruto's severed head.
"I hope you suffer demon!" Spat Kurenai before actually spitting on the severed head, while preparing to shift her attention to Kiba, now that she heard that little confession of his, only to suddenly freeze at a sudden voice.
"Wow, and here I thought you cared about him." Naruto stated from behind Kurenai, making the woman spin around with wide eyes, wondering how he's alive.
Though when she looked back at "Naruto's" corpse, Kurenai screamed in horror when she saw rather than Naruto's headless body, it was now Asuma who she had killed.
"No, no, no, no, no, NO! This isn't real!" Kurenai screamed as she began breaking whatever illusion she must be under, refusing to believe she had just killed her boyfriend, only for his body to remain where it was.
"Actually…it's very real Kurenai-sensei." Said a familiar voice, making Kurenai tense as she looked back at Naruto, only to be further shocked and horrified when she saw her former student, Yakumo Kurama, standing beside him.
"Ya-Ya-Yakumo?" Said Kurenai, horrified to see her with Naruto, as Yakumo smirked at her.
"What's the matter? Surprised to see me? How about the fact I look much better? Well, I have my new friend to thank for that." Yakumo said while smiling at Naruto, having met one of the Uzumaki's Shadow Clones after it sensed the presence of the Ido within her.
With Naruto helping her learn the truth of the Ido, before helping her get rid of it permanently, giving Yakumo access to the full power of her Kekkei Genkai. Along with creating a time distortion within her room, allowing the Kurama Heiress to train and strengthen her body in preparations for their departure. And the chance to get revenge against her former teacher, who took away her dream and power.
"If it's any consolation Kurenai, you can die knowing you got to see the true Genjutsu Mistress in action." Yakumo taunted before the Naruto beside her shattered like glass, with Kurenai gasping in pain as Frostmourne was stabbed through her back, while Yakumo walked up to her.
"You stabbed me in the back, I'm just returning the favor." Whispered Yakumo, as Kurenai's soul was absorbed into the blade before her body was tossed aside.
"So, are we done here?" Yakumo asked while looking at Naruto, wondering if they'd be leaving now.
"Not yet. Now, the fun part begins." Replied Naruto before he stabbed Frostmourne into the ground, causing it to start shaking throughout the entire village.
Then unseen to everyone, the eyes of every deceased person began glowing a haunting blue color, before they began rising up to their feet and attacking anyone near them. While within the cemetery, more resurrected bodies began busting out of the ground and tombs, attacking any and all Ninja and civilians throughout the village.
The only ones who didn't rise being Hinata, Iruka, Teuchi, and Ayame, as Naruto refused to disturb their rest. With the whiskered boy even having already resurrected his father, after releasing his soul from the Shinigami's stomach when he gained the Yin-half of the Kyūbi.
And the best part was, all those that were resurrected were fully aware of their actions but couldn't fight against his control. And the more people that die, the more that will rise as the undead, with the cycle repeating without end.
"UZUMAKI!" Shouted Gaara, rushing towards Naruto with a bloodthirsty grin on his face, having been trying to locate him after seeing the power he had, knowing if he killed him then no one would ever be able to deny his existence.
But before Gaara could even try to attack Naruto, the former blondes head snapped towards him with a dark glare and narrowed eyes. The sight actually making Gaara freeze in place while his sand fell limply around him. With the Suna Jinchūriki for once unable to bring himself to try and kill a target as he felt not only his own fight or flight instincts kicking in, but even heard Shukaku screaming for him to run.
With Naruto fully turning towards Gaara as he began walking towards him, with the redhead slowly starting to shake as he looked at Naruto with wide eyes. As he began realizing that he had made a terrible mistake, trying to fight Naruto wouldn't prove his existence.
It would result in it being ended.
"You really should have run, when you had the chance." Naruto stated, twirling his blade to kill the frozen Gaara, with the unstable Jinchūriki finding himself unable to retreat or do anything.
Though suddenly, Temari and Kankuro jumped down between Naruto and Gaara with their fan and puppet out respectively, while glaring at Naruto.
"Back off pal." Kankuro warned.
"Stay the hell away from our brother!" Growled Temari, suppressing her fear at the idea of actually fighting Naruto, but refused to let him kill Gaara.
With Gaara himself looking between his siblings in shock and disbelief that they'd willing defend him from someone who could very well kill them before they could react. Something that Naruto couldn't help but find amusing.
"You'd stand against me, even after everything you've seen I can do?" Naruto asked in amusement.
"If it meant protecting our brother, yes." Temari said, knowing they'd likely die but they wouldn't let Gaara be killed.
Naruto looked between them for a moment, before to their surprise he stepped aside.
"I must admit, that's impressive. From what I've heard, you're both terrified of him and yet here you are, willing to give your lives to save him. So, you're free to go, whether to return to your village or fulfill whatever part of this invasion you were going to play." Said Naruto, willing to let them leave after seeing how they were willing to give their lives for the brother, they were scared of.
Plus, part of him couldn't deny that he could see how similar he and Gaara were with their situations and could see he still had a chance to become better.
"J-just like that?" Kankuro asked warily, with Naruto nodding.
"Just like that. And Gaara, it's not too late, you still have family that care about you. Do yourself a favor and don't push them away." Naruto said while looking at his fellow Jinchūriki, who looked at him in surprise before he schooled his features and could only nod.
The siblings then jumped off to fulfill their part of the invasion.
"Temari, Kankuro, I'm sorry." Said Gaara, making his siblings look at him in surprise before they smiled.
"It's alright Gaara." Kankuro replied, as both he and Temari mentally thanked Naruto for helping their brother, despite the current circumstances.
Naruto then waved his hand, causing Hiashi and Kō to be frozen up to their necks.
"Lemme guess, you blame me for Hinata's death too." Stated Naruto, looking at them boredly.
"It's your fault Hinata-sama is dead! You're the one who encouraged her to fight Neji, when she wasn't ready to face someone like him!" Kō shouted, with Naruto looking at him before creating a seed in his hand.
Walking up to the frozen Hyūga, Naruto forced Kō's mouth open before shoving the seed inside and forcing him to swallow it. Stepping back, Naruto broke the ice as Kō fell to his hands and knees, gasping and clutching his stomach.
"That pain you're feeling at the moment, that's that seed I made you swallow taking root inside your stomach. By now, it should have begun digging its way into your stomach and now…it should have broken through." Said Naruto just as Kō began screaming in agony.
"Now you're feeling the roots spreading outward through your body, down your legs, up your chest, your arms, every inch. While pushing through anything in their way." Naruto said, while Kō fell down screaming as the roots forcefully broke through his body, with them actually being seen growing under his skin.
"Then it's not long before they reach all the exits in your body and well…" Said Naruto trailing off, as Kō began choking and gagging as roots began growing out of his mouth, nose, ears, even out from under his eyelids and out his ass.
"But don't worry, that's not what kills you, no. What kills you are these." Naruto said, pulling out a container of termites which he dumped onto Kō, the Hyūga being able to release muffled screams as the termites began eating their way through his body and the roots growing out of him.
Leaving the Hyūga to his slow demise, Naruto turned to Hiashi.
"Oh, don't worry, I'm not gonna do that to you. No, I'm just gonna hurt you, a lot." Said Naruto before slamming his fist into Hiashi's jaw, knocking out a few teeth.
Breaking the ice holding him, Naruto uppercut Hiashi knocking him to the ground, before grabbing both his arms and snapping them in half at the elbows, making the Hyūga Clan Head scream in pain. Grabbing him by his collar, Naruto smashed Hiashi's head into a wall repeatedly before lifting him into the air and slamming him back onto the ground. With Naruto then stomping down on Hiashi's kneecaps repeatedly, until they were completely destroyed.
Naruto then lifted Hiashi into the air, before bringing him down straight onto his knee, the clan head screaming in complete agony as he lost all feeling in his lower half.
"For the record, that was for Hinata." Naruto stated, dropping the broken man onto the ground, as Hiashi glared at him.
"You don't get to talk about my daughter! It's because of you and Neji that she's dead!" Retorted Hiashi, only to be met by a kick to the face.
"No, you don't get to talk about her! I didn't know that bastard would actually kill his own cousin! The only thing I'm guilty of is fully supporting and believing in my teammate and friend, knowing she was strong! Something you and the rest of your clan never did! You all believed she was too kind and soft, too timid, all because she wasn't like the rest of you! She told me about your training, how you forced her to perform brutal training and did nothing to support and encourage her! Then forcing her to fight her own sister, just to decide which of them would be the heiress, then disinheriting her when she refused to fight back! You don't get talk about Hinata, because you sure as hell never gave a damn about her!" Naruto said while glaring at Hiashi.
"Of course I cared about Hinata, I care about both my daughters! I only did what was needed for her to have the strength needed to lead the Hyūga Clan!" Shouted Hiashi.
"Well you sure had a terrible way of showing it, since you never supported or encouraged her. You just expected her to suddenly be a prodigy at everything she did. No, I'm not the reason Hinata's dead, it's you and the rest of your fucking clan that turned your backs on a kind girl, that only wanted to be strong like the father, that knocked her down again and again. And you wanna know the worst part, even after everything you've done to her, Hinata still loved and looked up to you, but you never cared. You didn't care about her as your daughter, you only cared about her as a tool to lead your clan." Naruto retorted coldly, as Hiashi looked at him with wide eyes before gagging when Naruto pressed his boot against Hiashi's throat.
"And wherever the hell you end up, it'll still be too good for you." Said Naruto before with a little pressure, Hiashi's neck snapped like a twig.
With the broken man's last sight being to see the spirits of his brother Hizashi, wife Hitomi, and daughter Hinata turning their backs on him, before they vanished.
Stepping away from Hiashi's corpse, Naruto's hand shot out and wrapped around Hanabi's neck, the girl having arrived just to see Naruto kill her father, before she rushed him in anger. With Naruto tossing the girl off to the side.
"You really think, that after everything you've seen and know I can do, you really think a brat like you stands a chance?" Naruto asked while walking over to Hanabi, as the Hyūga glared at him.
"You killed my Tou-san, Nee-san, and Neji! You took my family away!" Yelled Hanabi, getting up and rushing Naruto again, as even after she'd become disillusioned with Hinata after their duel, she still loved her big sister.
It was just buried under the betrayal, hurt, and disappointment she felt after Hinata threw their match, leaving her as heiress and the subject of their father's training. But after learning Hinata died, Hanabi had been devastated that her sister was dead and that they'd never get the chance to try and make amends. Though that didn't mean she couldn't avenge her by killing the ones who killed her.
Along with now desiring to avenge the rest of her family, that Naruto has now killed.
With Hanabi gasping in pain, coughing up spittle and blood, when Naruto's fist was buried into her stomach, with the girl falling to her knees and clutching her stomach.
"One hit and I've already brought you to your knees. It'd take less than that for me to kill you, yet you still believed you had a chance." Naruto said, narrowing his eyes at Hanabi, with the girl shaking before glaring at him with tear filled eyes, knowing it was true, she never even stood a chance but still tried.
"Well go ahead, kill me!" Hanabi demanded, knowing no matter what she did, she wouldn't stand a chance against Naruto, now simply wanting him to finish the job so she could at least see her family again.
Lowering her head, Hanabi waited for the inevitable end, only to look up when she instead heard the sound of Naruto sheathing his sword.
"Wh-what're you doing?! Kill me!" Said Hanabi, wanting to die to see her family again.
"No." Naruto said simply, as Hanabi looked at him with wide eyes.
"N-no?! Wh-why?! Do you enjoy making me suffer?! Knowing I'm alone!?" Hanabi shouted as tears streamed down her face, believing he's letting her live to know that her family was dead and there's nothing she could do to avenge them.
"No. I'm letting you live, because despite how you've treated her, how you acted coldly to her, ignored her, and saw her as a weakling like the rest of your clan, Hinata still loved you more than anything." Revealed Naruto, making Hanabi's eyes widen in shock.
"She told me before she died, that even though you saw her as a failure, Hinata still loved you. She loved you enough to throw your fight and risk herself being disinherited and branded with the Caged Bird Seal, if it meant you were safe. Refusing to see you get hurt or branded. That is the only reason I don't kill you, why I don't even consider killing you, because your supposed failure of an older sister would be devastated if you were to be killed by me. And I refuse to hurt Hinata any more than I already have." Said Naruto, with Hanabi looking at him in disbelief.
"She…she did that…for me?" Hanabi asked, with Naruto nodding in response.
"Yes. She hadn't been aware that girls were only branded, if they were born into the Branch Family, so she had fully expected to be branded herself. But she didn't care, she would have done it, if it meant you were safe." Naruto replied, making Hanabi lower her head as tears fell from her eyes.
'Nee-san…you would…you would have let yourself be branded…for me?' Hanabi thought, not believing Hinata would have let that happen, all just to keep her safe.
And even after how she treated her, Hinata still loved her enough that it was keeping Naruto from killing her. Hanabi then looked up when she saw Naruto's hand was held out for her to take.
"And it's also because of Hinata, that I'm offering you the chance to join Yakumo and I in leaving." Said Naruto, figuring if he's going to honor Hinata's memory, he might as well go all the way and take her sister with him, to make sure she was safe from what he's unleashed.
Hanabi looked at him in disbelief, before looking at his hand.
"You…really cared about Nee-san, didn't you?" Hanabi said, with Naruto nodding.
"Yes, she was my friend and I wish to honor her memory as best as I can. Including keeping you safe." Replied Naruto, as Hanabi looked at his hand before slowly taking it.
"Then you have my loyalty." Said Hanabi, with the Uzumaki nodding as Yakumo walked over to them, having stayed off to the side to watch the proceeding events.
"Are we leaving now?" Yakumo asked, wanting to simply leave the village.
"Just one more thing." Naruto said, holding out his hand and creating a small blue orb in his palm.
Lifting his hand slightly, Naruto launched the orb into the air, as the three watched as not a moment later, dark clouds spread out across all of Konoha and the Land of Fire. With heavy snows soon falling once the entire country was covered, Naruto know it won't be long before the entire country was nothing, but a frozen wasteland. A wasteland filled with the undead and those foolish enough to stay.
"Now we can leave." Stated Naruto, knowing his revenge was officially complete.
Snow began swirling around the three as Naruto, Yakumo, and Hanabi vanished from where they stood, never to be seen within the Elemental Nations ever again.
So, what did you think, good. Yep Naruto has gained the powers of both The Lich and Ice Crown from "Adventure Time", combining together to turn him into the Lich King. Along with seeing this Naruto has had a very shitty hand dealt to him, being forced to watch people he cares about die again and again, all the way up to Hinata being killed by Neji, with Naruto also being blamed, leading to him being more hated than ever. And when Naruto becomes the Lich King, he begins his plans for revenge (also in regards to his power level, keep in mind The Lich is a cosmic entity that represents death itself and the Ice Crown is powerful enough to grant the deepest desires of whoever wears it), along with gaining his blade by turning Zabuza's own sword into Frostmourne, and gaining the Sharingan by absorbing Indra's soul and Chakra within Sasuke. Along with Naruto saying his goodbyes to his precious people, saving Hinata for last. Then it's time for the match and Naruto makes quite the entrance, also the song playing just look up "Age of Ultron no strings on me" and it should be one of the first videos to appear, with Naruto then verbally tearing Neji apart until he attacks, only to end up getting killed and his Byakugan taken. With Naruto then revealing not only his heritage but everything he's taken back as well, leading to several Ninja attacking him only to be cut down, with the invasion then starting as well. Leading to Naruto killing several people, rather brutally and gruesomely for many of them, along with showing Yakumo being allied with him, before killing both Kō and Hiashi, with Hanabi attacking him to avenge her family, only to be beaten down by Naruto who refuses to kill her, due to Hinata still loving her, leading to Hanabi joining Naruto as well. Finally Naruto plunges all of Fire Country within a Russian Winter, forever dooming them to eternal night and dealing with the undead, as he, Yakumo, and Hanabi leave the Elemental Nations. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
Storm out
