Necessary Evil

The Demon Inside

"Due to extensive damage to the arena ground the matches will be postponed to tomorrow"

The announcement was met with many protests and disappointment from the audience but even they could see the damage done to the arena ground. Sakura and Naruto's match had resulted in deep fissures and cracks across the entire stadium.

Naruto stood at a corner of the stadium with a frown. After some contemplating on whether or not to fix the ground this instant and let the matches continue, he decides not to do it. After all he would need to keep up some illusion that he was still human enough and defeating all of them in one go would not aid that. So with a sigh he vanished silently from the arena and appeared beside his friends and Mate.

"So did you all enjoy the show?" Naruto asks the various kage and there are chuckles and various forms of agreement from them all. Kyoshiro is silently smirking by his side and Naruto thinks about their earlier conversation. After a friendly conversation and a lunch together with all the kage, they go their separate ways.

Once Naruto and Kyoshiro were alone in their room Naruto sat down on the table.

"So this kid…" He prompts.

Kyoshiro frowns thoughtfully, "Don't know much about him but I saw him in passing after the talk with 'Lady Yamini'."

Naruto gives him a serious look at the mention of her name. Kyoshiro shakes his head as if to clear his thoughts and Naruto decides to concentrate on the subject at hand.

"So why is this kid so special?"

"You'll know it when you meet him," Kyoshiro said and Naruto knew that meant Kyoshiro already had their people following the kid.

"How old is the kid?"

"Three maybe four."

Naruto nods slowly, "Assuming that this kid has a guardian-"

"Single Mother."

"Maybe we can meet her over dinner?"

Kyoshiro shakes his head, "No. Dinner is with Lady Yamini… to discuss a possible 'alliance'."

Naruto chuckles, "And he agreed?"

"Of course he did. It's not surprising at all," Naruto says when Kyoshiro nods. Naruto can see the way Kyoshiro grits his teeth while talking about Yamini.

"And I think you have a meeting with Tsubasa?" This time Kyoshiro is the one who diverts the conversation.

Naruto's eyes widened, "Oh crap I totally forgot about that guy! I was so caught up with all of this that I… You know what; I'll meet with Tsubasa right now if he's free."

Kyoshiro nods and with a puff of smoke a small fox appears on his lap. With sunset orange fur and hazel eyes it is an adorable little thing. Kyoshiro gently pets it for a moment and the fox yips in a content greeting. Then its eyes flicker over to Naruto and Naruto chuckles when the fox yips excitedly at him.

"Nice to see you again, little one," Naruto said softly.

Kyoshiro chuckles, "Kit, I need you to bring Tsubasa here"

The fox bobs its little head and vanishes in another puff of smoke after some more yips at Naruto.

"I am starting to think that my Kits like you more than me…" Kyoshiro mutters with a fake pout.

"Aww, don't be sad, Kyo, they're just acknowledging that I am the more handsome one," Naruto cooed at Kyoshiro with amusement.

Kyoshiro smirks mockingly, "Or maybe it's because you're the one with all the 'Maternal Instincts'."

Kyoshiro catches the paper weight thrown at his head easily and chuckles.

"Says the guy with the girly hair," Naruto grumbles good-naturedly both of them enjoying their little banter.

"You saying you hate my hair?" Kyoshiro asks with a scoff.

"Hate it?" Naruto asks licking his lips remembering all the reasons he loved that hair, "I fucking love it, babe."

Kyoshiro smirks.

"Buuut," Naruto drawls, "That doesn't make it any less girly"

Kyoshiro stands up from his position on the armchair and approaches Naruto intent on showing exactly who the girly one is but then the fox kit is back with Tsubasa in tow.

"I hope I didn't interrupt anything…" Tsubasa looked at them both curiously. Kyoshiro kept a blank face and retreated to his armchair while Naruto smirked at him.

"Have a seat, Tsubasa."

As the man sat down in the offered seat he spoke, "We postponed the search since you didn't give a new order."

Naruto nodded, "Don't wait any longer and start the search today."

Tsubasa frowned, "And what about the clan compounds?"

Naruto shook his head, "The clan compounds can wait. We will wait until the matches are over to start the search on them. That way we can have free access to the compounds without any risk of being caught."

"Yes, Naruto-sama."

Kyoshiro frowned thoughtfully, "Tsubasa, I want you to monitor each compound more carefully now. Once the matches are over the compounds will be evacuated of their current residents as well as their personal belongings. Make sure that those personal belongings don't include what we are searching for."

Tsubasa nodded, "That would be wise."

Naruto looked confused, "Kyo, I don't think anyone even know about their existence."

"Just to be sure we can keep an eye on it, Naru. Better safe than sorry."

Naruto nodded.

"Is there anything else, Naruto-sama, Kyoshiro-sama?"

Naruto shook his head and dismissed Tsubasa.

Tsubasa was gone just like he had arrived.

Naruto turned to Kyoshiro who was sitting there with the little fox in his arms. He was slowly petting it and giving it snacks. He smiled and moved towards them.

They spend some time just relaxing and playing with the fox kit. That's when Kyoshiro tensed, "Well looks like we will be meeting the kid and his mother now…"

"They're here?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow. He tried to sense what Kyoshiro was sensing and among the mass of chakra signatures one felt different. A familiar kind of different, Naruto's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

"I take it that you sensed the kid," Kyoshiro asked already knowing the answer.

"I thought he didn't have any kids yet!" Naruto said perplexed.

"By the records, he doesn't."

"A secret lover and kid, then? But our spies would've found out if that was the case…" Naruto asked.

"I won't bet on that, she loves the kid, but something tells me that the sperm donor is not that much appreciated."

Naruto hummed thoughtfully.

"You wish to meet them now?" Kyoshiro asks. It would not be difficult seeing as the kid and his mother was at the café just across the road from their housing.

Naruto shakes his head, "No, not yet. I don't enjoy walking in blind so we'll gather whatever we could about them first."

Kyoshiro nodded approvingly still petting the fox kit absentmindedly.

"I'll send some guys right away. Meanwhile-"

Kyoshiro couldn't finish that sentence because he got a call from Hibara inviting them to some sort of party with the other dignitaries. They sighed and got ready for a long, annoying and boring event.

"How are they doing, Tsunade-sama?" Kurenai asked Tsunade who just exited the ward after checking up on the defeated shinobi. None of them regained their consciousness yet and they had no clear detail on what happened to them.

Most of the sensei, jonin and families were present looking for any details on their students/children. All of them turned to Tsunade looking for some sort of information. Everyone's close family was present, but sadly for those with clans most of their clans refused to come and see the ones that were defeated. Surprisingly both Neji and Hinata were present for Hanabi. But a closer examination made it clear that the only reason Neji came here was for Hinata; who still cared about her misguided sister, not for Hanabi. Kakashi and Jiraiya were suspiciously absent and she felt a little uneasy. Sasuke was absent as well but that was no surprise. Everyone knew that the Uchiha didn't care about anyone else.

All of them waited in anticipation for her to speak. Tsunade thought about her words carefully.

"Tsunade-sama, how are they?" Asuma asked as he stood next to Kurenai. The pensive silence that Tsunade gave them was worrying.

Finally Tsunade said, "They're alive and I believe that they would wake up in a day or two." In the end Tsunade decided that that was the best answer she could give.

Many sighed in relief but only a few noticed Tsunade's frown.

"Tsunade-sama, you aren't telling us everything." Inoichi said from his seat near his wife. Ino's mother was crying at the fate of her beloved daughter.

After some contemplation Tsunade sighed, it was not like keeping it a secret would change anything, "We aren't sure."

"What?"

Tsunade explained, "We aren't sure about the state of the shinobi inside. From the outside they look fine and the broken bones have all been realigned and put in a cast. They show no signs of internal bleeding and their breathing and heartbeat checks out fine. Some of them might have a slight concussion that can be taken care of in a few days. Hanabi and Sakura suffered the most damage so far and they would need to spend the next three month in the hospital if things don't change."

"Why so long?" Shikaku questions, "Our healers are capable of healing them completely in a shorter time."

"That's the problem," Tsunade says, "None of our chakra techniques works on them"

"Naruto-kun" Naruto turns around to face the one who addressed him. He already knew who was standing behind him.

"Milady," Naruto let out an amused smirk.

"You did well today, Naruto-kun." Yamini said with a sultry smirk. Naruto smirked right back at her.

"I take it you enjoyed watching them."

Yamini gave a demure giggle, but Naruto could sense the sadistic joy and sinister intend behind that smile. He smiled right back at her.

"So should we expect you tonight?" Naruto asks.

Yamini looked at him with piercing violet eyes from under long lashes, "Of course, I did accept your invitation earlier… I just hope that you know what you are getting into…"

With one more coy smile Yamini moved away from him whispering to her guards.

Naruto chuckled lowly, "Oh, I know exactly what I am getting into…"

"Naruto-sama?" Keiran slowly spoke up from beside him.

Naruto looked at him although his bodyguard wore that customary blank expression and his eyes were hidden Naruto could very well sense his concern.

"That woman…" Keiran trailed of unsurely. Beside him Rey had a similar frown.

Naruto gave him an amused smile, "What is it, Keiran?"

"Naruto-sama, there is something quite unsettling about that woman. We can sense some sort of dangerous aura from her presence alone..." It was Rey who answered him in his stoic voice.

"Are you worried that she would harm me?"

"Naruto-sama you're strong and she or her people would never come even close to leaving a scratch on you, but we are concerned."

Naruto laughs at Keiran's words and then he smiles at them sincerely, "I understand your concerns, but let me take care of this one."

Keiran and Rey nodded reluctantly.

"Now, I want everything to be ready for tonight's meeting. She is more dangerous than you believe and once she and her men enter the compound, I don't want any of them leaving without my permission."

"What are you saying Tsunade-sama?"

Tsunade's eyes harden, "I meant what I said, the Mystical Palm Technique or any other medical technique doesn't works on them for whatever reason that we couldn't figure out. So most of the observations we made on the patients were using crude non-chakra methods and such methods offer very less precision. So the conclusions I made are not 100% precise."

"Why aren't they working?" Gai asked lowly.

Tsunade sighs, "We don't know yet. We're trying every chakra healing technique we know and they all get dispelled when used on them. It's like they're shielded from any and all external chakra techniques. We can't even do a scan to check out any damages to their chakra pathways. We even tried the Byakugan but even that can't see past whatever is shielding them."

There were several gasps all around and Tsunade continues,

"At this moment, all we can do is treating their injuries using non-chakra methods and they take a much longer time than chakra healing methods. As far as we know, their body is healing as well as it can under these circumstances."

Everyone sat there silently not knowing what to say.

Finally it was Shikaku who broke the silence, "At least they're alive…"

Naruto sat in the armchair with his eyes closed and head tilted backwards and resting on the back rest. The party was over by sunset and they spend the rest of the time taking care of some other things. Now the time for the 'dinner' with Yamini was near.

"They're here."

Naruto opened his eyes to look at Kyoshiro who was leaning against the door frame. Naruto stood up silently and walked out followed by Kyoshiro.

Naruto could feel the chakra pulsing beneath his skin like a caged beast trying to snap free. He knew Kyoshiro felt just as anxious.

The both of them entered a giant hall bare of any other furniture. Yamini and three other men were already there. She had an amused smirk on her face like she had everything under control and it only amused Naruto.

"Naruto-kun," Yamini purred out in greeting taking a step forward towards him.

Naruto moved forward slowly, "I admit that this is a pretty face but why don't you take Yamini out of the equation and show me your real form."

Yamini chuckled, "So you do know…"

Her chuckles turned into a full blown laugh as her skin started shriveling up. It then peeled off to reveal sickeningly pale skin underneath and yellow eyes replaced violet ones.

Naruto didn't react once Orochimaru's form came into view. The white skin had scales at some parts and Naruto wasn't surprised given what he knew.

"Glad to see me, Naruto-kun?" Orochimaru lisped in snake-like voice.

Naruto was silent. From the corner of his eyes Orochimaru noticed the shadows from the corners moving and stretching. His eyes narrowed when all of a sudden eight individuals emerged from the shadows. They were all wearing black cloaks just like the one Kyoshiro was currently wearing. The individuals arranged themselves behind Naruto with Kyoshiro standing directly behind Naruto and four others on each side.

Orochimaru stared at Naruto with a condensing smirk, "I hope you aren't trying to intimidate me with the nine bijuu, Naruto-kun…"

Naruto shook his head like he was talking to some petulant kid, "You know as well as I do that no human could ever recognize the bijuu while they're in their human form. And you just proved that you're not human."

Orochimaru's eyes widened slightly and he cursed internally from that slip-up. But it didn't matter anyway.

Orochimaru doesn't speak and Naruto starts circling him, the look in his eyes is calm and bored but Orochimaru feels like a prey.

"You know, Orochimaru… I found out some interesting information about you…"

"Oh and what would that be Naruto-kun, besides the fact that I am a demon?" Orochimaru scoffs.

Naruto stops directly behind Orochimaru, "I know who you are, Aamon…"

"So you found out… I was really hoping that you actually did want an alliance…" Orochimaru speaks in a more thickly demonic voice, "What are you going to do about it, Milord?" He mocks, "Oh wait, you're no Lord. You rejected the position as the Demon Lord so that worthless mate of yours could remain as the Lord, didn't you?" Orochimaru sneers.

Faster than Orochimaru could blink there was seven chakra chains piercing through him.

Orochimaru chuckles, "You think you caught me? Think again, 'Lord Naruto'" and his body turns to mud.

Naruto glares at the puddle of mud at his feet. He looks to the side to see that the three minions Orochimaru brought with him already dead at Shukaku's hands.

Directly beneath the mud, a seal lights up and Naruto grins viciously, "Why don't we pay dear old Aamon a visit?"

Orochimaru sat in his underground lair thinking about the plans to destroy Konoha.

Kabuto walked into the room only to find that Orochimaru's eyes narrowed all of a sudden.

"Orochimaru-sama?"

"My clone just got destroyed… I wonder what happened…" Orochimaru murmurs, "Kabuto, lock up the compound and tighten the security. I have a bad feeling about this."

Kabuto nods and leaves the room quickly.

Orochimaru is surprised when Kabuto returns to the room not even a ten seconds later.

"Kabuto, what is it?"

Kabuto looks nervous and Orochimaru knows that it's something serious, "Orochimaru-sama, every one of our shinobi are dead."

Orochimaru's eyes widen, "What? How can that be?"

"I don't know, Orochimaru-sama, and all the experiments are missing as well. There are no sign of enemies. We need to get out of here, Orochimaru-sama."

Orochimaru nods hastily, whoever can take out every one of his shinobi right under his nose without him knowing had to be handled with caution.

"I don't think you'll be going anywhere…"

Orochimaru turns around at the voice to find Naruto standing causally leaning against the wall.

"Naruto… What brings you here? How did you find this place?" Orochimaru hisses.

Naruto raises an eyebrow, "I admit that you're very good at hiding. Every lead we had on you, we end up facing one of your clones. No one could track this place either. Nice work hiding, but then I did a little homework and came up with a seal that could track you down using your clone's chakra. It was pretty easy after that…"

"What do you want Naruto?" Orochimaru asks spitefully.

"You know your clone was quite rude to me and my Mate, Aamon. So we decided to pay a visit." Naruto says and Orochimaru looks around to see that he is surrounded by nine cloaked figures. Kabuto is standing silently, eyeing all of them with caution.

"So you found out." Orochimaru snarls, he's trapped and he knows it, "What are you going to do about it?"

"You have a lot to pay for Aamon… For what you did to Kyoshiro's first mate and children, to my parents, to all those children you experimented on, to my Jiji and to Orochimaru, whose body you're currently possessing." Naruto says.

Aamon snarls again and he looks frantic and crazed.

"Aamon…"

Aamon turns to face the speaker and Kyoshiro is standing before him, eyes red and demonic features on full display.

Aamon sneers, "You think you can defeat me? You fool! You're no longer who you used to be, you don't have the power you used to. I will be the one ending you. Just like how I did with that vixen and kits of yours."

Kyoshiro's restraints snap audibly and he pounces, skin rips apart and the next moment Aamon in Orochimaru's body is buried under a ten-foot tall nine-tailed fox.

Naruto sees Kabuto trying to attack but before he has a chance to do anything Matatabi pounces on the man. She is already changed into her bijuu form of a twelve-foot tall two-tailed cat made of blue lightning.

Aamon avoids Kyoshiro's snapping jaws and shifts away. Orochimaru's body begins rippling and a reptilian tail emerges from behind him and his skin becomes completely scaled.

Aamon tries to attack Kyoshiro but the fox is better at evading the snake's fangs and clawing up the snake even more.

Kabuto already lay dead at Matatabi's feet. So Matatabi joins Naruto and the others in watching Kyoshiro tear Aamon apart. Because that's what it is, Aamon had no chance against Kyoshiro.

Aamon gets thrown around and in the end Orochimaru's body is broken and bleeding. Kyoshiro stalks towards the downed demon with vengeance. This was the demon that killed his beautiful first mate and his new born kits and he deserved to die the most gruesome death.

Aamon crawls backward in fright.

"Mercy please show mercy. I admit defeat."

Naruto raises an eyebrow. This was pathetic.

"You deserve no mercy," Naruto says because Kyoshiro is beyond words right now and the only things that come out of his mouth were growls and snarls.

Aamon turns towards Naruto, "Please My Lord have mercy. Tell your Mate to spare me."

"And why would I do that?" Naruto says mockingly.

"Because…" Aamon is frantically searching for a reason and finally, he says, "Because if your Mate continues then Orochimaru will die."

Almost all of them scoff at him. Aamon shakes his head frantically, "Believe me, I am telling the truth. He's still in there, he's still alive."

Matatabi is the one who speaks up, "Oh please, you have possessed him for almost four decades. There is no way his soul is still sustained; no human can survive a demonic possession for all those years."

All of them agree, but Naruto is silent and Aamon looks at him, "You know I am telling the truth don't you?"

"He is..." Naruto says after some time.

Aamon sighs in relief when Kyoshiro steps back from him. Kyoshiro wants Aamon dead, but he couldn't kill Orochimaru who was a victim in this as well. Aamon hides a smirk when Kyoshiro growls in frustration.

"You can't kill me without killing Orochimaru too." Aamon says smugly, "You're a Kitsune; you would never intentionally hurt innocents."

"Oh don't worry, Aamon; I can remedy that quite quickly," Naruto smirks and steps forward.

Aamon feels fear crawl up his spine when Naruto crouch down beside him, "This will hurt… a lot"

Naruto's hands glow a bright green colour and he places his hands on Orochimaru's chest. Aamon panics when the hands sink into his chest as if they are intangible.

"NO!" Aamon screams when Naruto grabs a hold of something inside him and tugs it outward.

A loud wailing fills the room but it is not coming from Orochimaru's mouth. Orochimaru's face is relaxed and his eyes closed in unconsciousness.

The ghostly specter in Naruto's hands is screeching in indefinite pain. Naruto smirks and throws it to the other side of the room.

"Make him suffer, Kyo," Naruto says and then he turns back to Orochimaru.

In a flash of fire, Naruto and the rest of the bijuu disappear with Orochimaru, leaving Aamon and Kyoshiro to their fun.

"Saiken, I need your help." Naruto mutters placing glowing green hands over Orochimaru's chest. They had teleported themselves to great distance away from Aamon and Kyoshiro.

Saiken; the six-tailed slug, nods, and moves towards him and does the same as Naruto.

Naruto curses when Orochimaru's heart stops again.

The glow of their hands grows brighter and the heart starts beating once more.

What Naruto did was a risky move. In fact, it was downright stupid move now that Naruto thought about it. He was too caught up on having his revenge and finishing of Aamon that he didn't think about what would happen to Orochimaru. Naruto had literally ripped Aamon out of Orochimaru's body and that will leave some heavy damages on Orochimaru's soul.

Not to mention the fact that the changes Aamon's yokai had done to Orochimaru's body were now working against him. The disruption in the coils was preventing the healing.

Naruto pursed his lips in thought; there was only one thing he could think of that could fix this. He cannot let Orochimaru die because that man was innocent. It wouldn't be fair if Orochimaru had to pay for the crimes that Aamon had done while possessing him. In fact he was pretty sure the if Orochimaru woke up with an intact mind, he would have no memory of the events past his fourteeth birthday.

This was a big mess. But if the man had struggled against a demonic possession and survived this long, it wouldn't be fair to let him die like this.

"Mata-chan! Mata-chan! Look at this!"

"What is it, Chomei?" Matatabi looked at the younger tailed-beast. Chomei was pointing towards the distance where Orochimaru's underground base was.

Matatabi looked and saw a Seventy-foot tall white snake break out of the ground.

"Well, it's a good thing that we moved this far," Isobu remarks dryly.

Son-Goku, who was keeping an eye on Naruto and Saiken up until that moment, came to stand beside them and watch. Just then, Kyoshiro in his fox form jumps out of the earth and grows bigger until he matches the snake in size.

The fight was brutal and long. However, by the end they all see Kyoshiro standing victoriously over the pleading snake. Suffice to say Kyoshiro had no reason to stop this time.

"That was boring." Kokuo snarks as Kyoshiro kills Aamon.

Matatabi scoffs at Kokuo, "Like you could've done any better!"

Kokuo glares at his elder sibling.

They all turn back to look at Naruto and Saiken and is surprised to see that they aren't there.

"They ditched us!" Chomei says.

"Kyoshiro's gonna be pissed that his Mate didn't see his badass fight with the snake." Kokuo grins.

Matatabi turns to look at where Kyoshiro used to be, only to find him gone too.

"Oh, so he ditched us too." Kokuo whines.

They all shake their head at him and vanish with their own teleportation.

Well that's it for now. Hope that you all enjoyed it.

Have a nice day,

Iris.
