A/N. No real responses to comments other than thanks and I hope you all continue to read this story. I am having a lot of fun writing it and hop that it turns into one of the epic length stories that seem to do so well here.
Warning this will be an MA fic. It will have foul language, blood, gore, attempted rape, probably cold blooded sadistic murder, and most likely lemons and limes.

Chapter 5: Attack and Revival
Last time:
Naruto did as Kurama told him using a genjutsu and started to walk to school. He only made it to the stair well before he was forced to look directly into the Sharingan eyes of an Uchiha jonin. His eye being more powerful he saw through the genjutsu right away but acted like he did not.
"Come along weapon we have a village to take over." Said the jonin as he led Naruto away. They soon arrived at the Uchiha compound. "I have brought the kyuubi as asked. He is in my full control."
"Good. With it we can take over this village easy and kill the Hyuugas once and for all." Said an unknown voice from behind Naruto.
Uchiha Compound- Noon.
The Uchiha compound was a flurry of activity. Almost the entire Uchiha police force was currently in the compound move supplies and barricading houses. Only a skeleton crew that was necessary to keep up appearances was patrolling the village. Most of this was being done in almost total silence. The ninja Uchiha were trying to protect the civilian and young members of their clan.
What were they protecting them from you ask? Tonight, they were planning a coup de' tau. They were had been led to believe that they were being denied their right to rule. The hokage was old and still hadn't picked a successor. They believe that it should be one of them but he wouldn't budge. He stuck to his belief that none of them had the will of fire required for the job. The only one that he believed did was still too young to handle the job.
So here they were preparing for war. They had told the civilian, and children that they were doing an emergency preparedness drill and that it would last until morning and that is why the only one allowed to leave the compound today was Sasuke. This being because to not have him go would arouse suspicions. Most other Uchihas would be in their district anyway since only a few besides the police worked outside the district.
Naruto was currently standing in the room with the clan's council. He had been ordered no to leave Fugaku's side until given other orders. Fugaku wanted his 'weapon' where he could see it at all time just in case someone decided to back out they would not be able to take the kyuubi with them.
"We will start with a distraction near the gates to draw the on duty ANBU and flank them when they arrive. I will take the kyuubi and unleash it on the Hyuuga before they can realize what's happening and respond. That should draw the hokage and most of his loyal ANBU. At that point myself, Itachi, and Shisui should be enough to take down the old monkey. While we do that the kyuubi should have killed all the Hyuuga, minus the two heiresses who you," he says pointing at a chunin, "will secure and bring back here. Make sure some of their blood is found to make it look like they are dead we will keep them alive to see if it is possible to merge the Byakugan with the Sharingan. After the kyuubi take care of the Hyuuga we turn him toward the ANBU. Any questions?" Asked Fugaku after going over the plan one last time.
"What do we do when the other clans get involved?" Asked a jonin Uchiha.
"If all goes according to plan the most of the clan ninja are either out of the village on missions or should be to slow to figure out what is happening in time to respond. We need all of this to happen within 30 minutes to have the best possible chance of success. Danzo as his ROOT will be staying out of this. He to wishes to see strong leadership restored."
"Sir no one has seen Shisui for two days and Itachi is currently preforming his ANBU duties." Another Uchiha informed Fugaku.
"Find Shisui and don't worry about Itachi he will be here just before we launch the plan." Fugaku said confident that Itachi would be loyal to his clan.
Naruto had been listening to the whole thing with a growing sense of both dread and anger. He couldn't believe that Itachi would betray the hokage. Not after every Itachi had done for him. He had figured out Itachi's identity long ago. It took everything he had not to betray the emotions he was feeling on his face. He was supposed to be in a genjutsu. Then there was Sasuke. He didn't like him much because he seemed to think he was better than everyone but he still didn't think his family would do something like this. Sure, the Uchiha had mistreated him but they were never anything other than condescendingly polite to most the villagers.
"We launch tonight dusk." Fugaku said closing the meeting so they could get back to work.
Hokage's Office-Same Time
While the Uchiha were making preparations so was the hokage. He was currently in a meeting with the advisors minus Danzo and Itachi on the situation.
"The attack will start tonight at dusk." Itachi informed the rest.
"It has come to a head this soon? What can you tell me of their plans?"
Itachi told them the general attack plan and then he dropped a bombshell that made the hokage seen red. "The kidnapped Naruto-kun this morning after he lock his apartment door. He never showed up at the academy. I couldn't stop them without giving myself away. He was put in genjutsu and lead to the Uchiha compound. The plan to use his memories of what they will make him do to break him then Danzo has a Yamanaka who will perform their mind destruction jutsu too make him nothing more than a mindless weapon." Itachi continued giving a full run down of the Plan.
"What can else can we do. They must be eliminated. Everyone that is willingly taking part in this attempted coup." The hokage ordered. This was one of the hardest orders he would have to give.
"But who could carry out an order like that? The Uchiha clan isn't known as one of the elites for nothing." Asked Homura. They didn't really have any ninja that could pull off a mission like that without being caught.
"Not to mention that whoever doe this will have to labeled a criminal to preserve our reputation with the other major villages. It would show weakness if a clan rose up against its kage because they believe the leadership was weak." Koharu pointed out.
"I will do it." Said Itachi getting wide-eyed looks from the other three.
"Itachi I can't ask you to do this. It's your family. It's one thing that you know it will be an order given to someone but I can't order you to kill your own family." Reasoned Hiruzen. He had done things he was not proud of but this would take the cake if he made one of his own ninja kill his on clan.
"I was not asking Hokage-sama. This is the only way to preserve the honor of my clan going forward. It has to be me. If they are takin down by the strongest of them, it will look better for everyone than if some faceless assassin does. They plan to attack tonight. I must go and prepare." With that Itachi left leaving Hiruzen in the others to wait for the inevitable storm that was to come.
Uchiha Compound-Two Hours Before Attack
"FUGAKU-SAMA!" Shouted an Uchiha chunin. Coming into the room where they were making final preparations. He was pale and out of breath and that caught the other attention if his shouting hadn't.
"What is it?" asked Fugaku hopping it was only a minor issue. He still had not heard from Itachi and was stating to worry about him.
"We found Shisui's body. His eyes are gone!" the chunin responded with no small amount of worry in his voice.
"Dammit. What of Itachi? I still haven't heard from him."
"No word yet but he may still be attending his ANBU duties. He would stay to complete anything asked of him so as not to arouse suspicions." Responded another chunin.
"Very well begin to mobilize and get in position. I want the squad at the gate in one hour the rest with me we move out in 90 minutes."
"HIA" They all responded.
Forest Outside Uchiha Compound
Itachi had just finished off the last of the squad that was supposed to be headed to the gate. And started making his was to the compound. This was quickly becoming the hardest thing he had ever done. He knew he would hate himself tomorrow but he could not let them kill so many innocent people and would never be able to live with himself if he allowed all his father's plans to come to fruition.
Flashback
Fugaku had just explained his invasion plan to Itachi and the rest of the Uchiha council and was taking questions. The first one was:
"Why do you plan to keep the girls alive when killing them would be the end of all Hyuugas.?" Asked an elder. He kept his voice as neutral as possible but one could still hear annoyance in his tone.
"I know this may seem strange but let me fully explain without interruption and it will become more clear. The Byakugan surpasses the Sharingan in only three things. Range of site, range of vision, and ability to see through objects correct?
"Hai"
"What would happen if we could incorporate even one of those into the Sharingan. I have no guarantee that it could work but they are the only un branded females, the only unbranded children that we could easily control. If it can't be done, it can't be done but if it can it will make it impossible to hide any technique from us ever again."
"So you plan to use them as breeding experiments?" Asked another elder.
"Hai"
'That is a dangerous game you are playing father," spoke Itachi. "That sounds like something Orochimaru would do."
"It is a necessary evil. They will be kept in genjutsu so as not to suffer needlessly." Was Fugaku only response.
End Flashback
Itachi came out of reminiscing just in time as he had arrived at the compound. He could see the main force gathering just outside what had become headquarters. There were only five stragglers running here and there finishing last minute items. The main force was a good 60 strong. He decided to pick of the stragglers and set some traps to try and whittle the numbers down.
Silently creeping up behind the first he stabs his blade through the ninjas heart while covering his mouth before dragging his body behind a building out of site. HE repeats this on the other four after which he slowly makes his way around to the main gathering setting up traps. Kunai launchers on top of the surrounding buildings to catch anyone that tries to gain the height advantage and explosive tags with trip wires at all door and ground exits.
Getting into position he takes two kunai with high-powered explosive tags and throws them into the back of the crowd.
BOOOOOOM!
At least 10 ninja lay in pieces their bones becoming shrapnel causing injury to the next row of ninja. Panic and confusion set in. The smoke was too thick to see through and that's when Itachi moved in like a wraith. Cutting down his family on by one. He got cut a few times from some that had managed to defend themselves if only for a short time. About 30 escaped including his father who was currently the one 'controlling' Naruto.
When he could sense no more life in the building Itachi slowly made his way outside. The last 30 Uchiha ninja were waiting for him. When Itachi emerged to face the remainder of his clan their looks of shock and betrayal nearly stopped him in his tracks. The only thing that kept him going was seeing Naruto staring at him with a mindless glaze in his eyes.
The Uchiha's that had made it outside had no idea what was going on. They only knew that they were under attack. When Itachi emerged from the double door of the building they were speechless. It had been one of their own that had attacked them. Not just anyone either, but the future clan head.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS ITACHI? HAVE YOU GONE MAD?" Screamed Fugaku. His face held a look of pure rage. His own son had betrayed him.
"Father you cannot win this fight. You would succeed only in weakening Konoha and shaming our clan. I cannot allow you to harm so many innocent people because of your imagined slights."
Having heard enough Fugaku ordered them to attack. Itachi used their rush to his advantages and manually set off the kunai launchers. With the ninja distracted he cut their number by a further 20.
When the dust cleared Itachi found himself surrounded by the remaining 10 Uchihas and Naruto.
"Release Naruto and send him away. We don't want him to remember this and let our clan be shamed." Itachi tried to command but with his exhaustion and injury his voice came out broken and panting.
"I have a better idea. Weapon attack and block no incoming strikes." Fugaku commanded.
"Hai" Was Naruto's emotionless response as he began forward pulling a kunai from the pouch he had been given. As he approached Itachi he got his attention by looking him straight in the eyes and winking.
Itachi saw Naruto start forward and pull his kunai. He was trying to think how to break his control while sparring him the knowledge of what had been planned for him. When he looked in Naruto eye again he notices that they were not dull anymore they were fully aware and then he winked. When he winked Itachi realized that they never truly had control of Naruto.
Just as Naruto gets close to Itachi the other Uchihas start going through hand signs for various fire jutsus. Seeing this Itachi starts his own hand seals hoping to finish first and get him and Naruto away. Before the Uchihas can finish 10 golden shoot out of Naruto's back surprising even him. They bind the remaining Uchihas stopping them from preforming their Jutsus. Itachi quickly took advantage of the situation. Killing all but his father before Naruto could unbind them.
"Naruto-kun I'm sorry this had to happen" Itachi starts but is interrupted by Naruto.
"It's not your fault. I heard everything. I know you tried to stop them and they didn't listen."
"I need you to promise me something Naruto."
"What is it?" he asks.
"You can't tell anyone what happened here tonight."
"I promise I will never speak of it"
"I'm sorry to put you through this. But you must leave now. Sasuke is coming and I need him to see me finish this."
With that last farewell Naruto let to return home. He wouldn't show up to the academy the next few days. Trying to come to grips with everything he had seen. He didn't know how he would be able to look at Sasuke again.
One Year later
It had been a long year. Kurama was putting Naruto the wringer as far as training went and he had started to absorb his parent knowledge on tiajutsu and kenjutsu. Knowing the Shadow clone made getting the forms down and practicing easier. Kurama had taught it to him the second day of school so Naruto could attend class and have his clones study and work on charka control. He would make an ever-increasing number of clones as his charka grew and had them do nothing but charka control exercises. His parent's knowledge on charka control exercises had been fully absorbed so he now had many to work through but it was slow going because his charka kept growing.
During his parents visit a few days ago they told him how to use the resurrection seal on another person and even how if he used three at the same time it may do something to reverse the effects of aging. Naruto was unsure how that would be helpful but trusted them.
Naruto had taken a week off school after the Uchiha incident. He had told the hokage what had happened to him and was almost forced to reveal his eyes when Sarutobi asked how he could resist such a strong Sharingan genjutsu.
Flashback
Naruto had just finished his story on what happened to at the Uchiha compound and was waiting for the Hokage's jaw to come off the floor and ask him some question that he knew had to be coming.
"How?"
"How what?"
"How did you resist a genjutsu from the Sharingan so easily?" Sarutobi finally articulated.
Naruto was sweating until Kurama reminded him about the genjutsu sensor.
"Well I guess I should tell you a little more about the seal I have. Besides the fact that me and the kyuubi are on good terms to he can pulse my charka for me if need be, my seal has a genjutsu sensor array on it that can either pulse my charka or if that doesn't absorb the foreign charka then use the kyuubi's to destroy it. All I had to do was act the part."
Sarutobi was impressed. He had known the kyuubi was not the evil entity that it was made out to be. But he never expected Minato to put something like that in the seal but he was glad he had.
"How are you taking everything?" Ask Hiruzen concerned for Naruto's mental health.
"Ok I guess. Do you think I could stay home for a few days to get myself tighter so that I don't seem like something is wrong? Just say I was sick or something."
"Yes I believe that would be a good idea." He replied.
"Thanks jiji!" Naruto said leaving the office after getting a signed excuse from the Hokage himself.
End Flashback.
As Naruto was making his way home after his training session he began to get an uneasy feeling in his stomach. It only seemed to get worse the closer he got to his building. When he climbed to the top floor he instantly knew something was wrong. Everybody had moved out on the top floor leaving only him. But he could smell a fresh scent of someone else. He could tell from both the smell and emotion sensing that someone was in his apartment. They were nervous but had no plans of hurting him. He recognized the smell but couldn't quite put a name and face to it.
With all his observations complete he decided to go in and see what they wanted. He unlocked his door and opened it. He didn't see anyone but he knew they were there. "What do you want? I know you're here so don't try to hide." He called in an even voice as he closed the door.
From around the corner in his kitchen a voice he recognized right away called back. "I apologize for the intrusion Uzumaki-san. I did not know if you would give me a chance to speak first or attack me for trespassing." The voice replied.
"To what do I owe the honor Hyuuga-sama?" Naruto asked to the now identified Hiashi Hyuuga.
"Do you remember what you told me in the hokage's office just after you saved my daughter?" Hiashi asked. Naruto could hear the emotion in his voice. It was almost like he was begging him to understand his message. It took Naruto a few minutes but he finally remembered the whole thing with help from Kurama.
"Has it become that desperate?" Naruto asked just as carefully as Hiashi had.
"Only hours are left." Hiashi simple statement was enough to bring Naruto's thought to a grinding halt. He was his last hope. Hinata and Hanabi might lose their mother if he couldn't help. They were some of his best friend even though he rarely saw them. He hated to see either of them in pain.
He saw only one option. "Where?" With this single word Hiashi seemed to relax.
"Meet me here in five hours." Hiashi said as he handed Naruto a piece of paper and turned to leave.
"Some conditions," Naruto spoke stopping Hiashi in his track. He did not turn but Naruto could tell he would say yes no matter what, "you tell no one who saved her or how it was done. I will be able to tell you exactly what is wrong with her. You don't question how I know or my source. Agreed?"
"Agreed" and with that Hiashi left.
Naruto quickly looked over the directions then went to take a shower. He didn't want to be dirty for something like this. After this he sent a clone to the Hokage with a note and directions to the secret room in the hospital.
Five Hours Later-Hospital Room
Hiashi was getting nervous it was nearly the appointed time and his wife didn't have long. She would last until morning at best. He had moved her in secret to a private room that was only supposed to be used by the Hokage so that no one would come looking for them.
When the door handle turned, his breathing hitched Naruto was going to come in the windows to avoid detection. He was completely surprised when the hokage walked in. He started to sweat thinking something happened.
"Relax Hiashi. Naruto asked me to come and informed me of everything you spoke of although I do not know why he asked me to come." Hiruzen tried to reassure the worried man.
A few minutes later exactly five hours from when he had left, came Naruto through the window. Seeing everybody there Naruto spoke first.
"Jiji I need you to seal the room so no one can sense or see the charka, light, or sound in this room." When said that both the hokage and Hiashi instantly knew why he wanted the hokage there. He was the only one Naruto trusted who, he knew was good enough with seals, to do something like that.
"I am impressed Naruto-kun. That was a very good idea calling me here for that." Sarutobi said as he erected the barrier. One it was up Naruto approached the bed Hitomi was laying on and began to look over her sleeping form. While looking her over he began to sniff. This action confused the other two men greatly.
"May I ask what you are doing Uzumaki-san." Hiashi was nervous but Naruto actions only confused him.
"Simple I am checking to see if it's a disease, a poison, or autoimmune condition." Naruto responded. Hiashi was going to ask how he would know that but remembered the conditions he had agreed to. While he was thinking of a way to figure it out with asking directly Naruto's rambling caught him off guard.
"Definitely not autoimmune. Some signs of disease but that doesn't appear to be the main problem." He mumbled then took a really strong sniff near her IV site before jerking his head away and glaring at the bag of medicine going in.
"Poison. No question." He said reaching for the bag. At this point Hiashi was in shock along with the Hokage. They had never seen that method of diagnosis. All he did was sniff her and now he was saying poison. As they we mulling this over Naruto had disconnected the medicine bag and sniffed it before putting a few drops on his tongue.
"Charka Metal." With these two simple words Hiashi felt his world collapsing. Someone had been trying to kill his with and he had not been able to see it. "Someone has been trying to poison her with charka metal that's why healing jutsus don't work." He the then did something that confused and almost enraged Hiashi who had to be held back by the hokage. He removed his shirt before crawling into the bed next to Hitomi. He opened her gown just enough to place his had in the center of her chest and another on the side of his stomach. Hiashi stopped struggling when a bright light started glowing under the hand on his stomach. After a few seconds, his other hand on Hitomi's chest started to glow as well
"Resurrection Seal Transfer" Naruto spoke in a somewhat strained voice. After he spoke a blinding light shown through the whole room. It took almost a full minute to dim again and for Hiashi and the hokage to regain their vision. When they could see again Naruto was standing next to the bed with his shirt on and Hitomi was again full covered. He was looking a little tired but what really got their attention was Hitomi. She was sitting up and looking at her hands flexing them.
"What happened?" she asked. Hiashi wasn't able to answer. He could only go to her and hold her with tears in his eyes. He wasn't going to lose his wife. "You're ok. Oh, kami he really did it" was the only thing Hiashi was able to say. Repeating it over and over.
The hokage cleared his throat and decided to speak, "while I am very happy for you Hiashi-san we have another important matter to settle. Who did this in the first place?"
"What is going on here? How am I better?" Hitomi demanded as she became more confused as the spoke.
"Well you see he," the Hokage said pointing to the spot Naruto had been and seeing no one. He then looked around the whole room and noticed that he was gone. "It seems," the hokage was cut off by the Clan head, "we can't tell you who healed you. Only what he said. First you didn't have an unknown disease or lingering weakness from Hanabi. You were being poisoned by charka metal. I don't know who is responsible for this but I will find them. Until I do though We are going to have to pretend that you are dead. And I am afraid that you won't be able to say goodbye to the girls in case they try to go after them to get to you again." After this short explanation Hitomi started to cry. She couldn't believe someone from her own family had tried to poison her and now she would be able to see her daughters or say goodbye without risking both hers and their safety.
"What are you going to say. Without my body, they won't believe you." She managed to get out through the tears. She knew the sooner that they made it through this the sooner she would be able to get back to her daughters.
"I have a solution to that. There is an old forbidden jutsu called the Blood clone. It will create a biologic clone that will last about 2 weeks after it 'dies' before reverting back to the blood it was made out of. It takes a little over a pint of blood. Now normally we would ask that of someone who has just recovered from what you have but, considering I know a little about the jutsu that saved you, you are probably feeling as strong as you ever have." He looked at the woman getting a nod as confirmation.
"It is settled then I will give you an hour to make arrangements while I set up what is needed for the jutsu." Unnoticed by the three a small rock in the corner disappeared in a puff of smoke.
A/N: So, this took longer than usual to write. Had a bad case of writer's block and ended up writing something like 10,000 words of future scenes. Hopefully that speeds up the next few chapters. Not to mention work has been hell for the past two weeks working 12-hour days and having a pregnant wife don't leave much time for writing. Things don't seem to be settling down so it may be that I can only update every 10 days or so.
Any way read and review. Let me know if you spot an error or major plot whole. I am doing my best to avoid them but they always seem to crop up at some point.
