Chapter 2

Dead silence. Everyone in the stadium stared at Naruto's headless corpse half expecting it to get up. It was unbelievable. After so long the Jinchuuriki was finally dead and with him the Kyuubi. It started with a lone cheer of a villager before the entire stadium erupted into cries of happiness. For a lone few the moment was sad for even if he had turned into a monster they could still remember the smiling blond-haired boy who loved ramen more than anything and dreamed of being Hokage.

A group of ANBU came out to pick up the corpse and the basket containing his head. Neko was among them and she kept true to her promise of spitting on his corpse. As the ANBU lifted the corpse it began to twitch wildly causing them to drop it. It continued to twitch and slowly it turned into full blown spasms. Then without warning it stopped. The headless body stopped all movement and laid entirely still as a corpse should.

The populace of Konoha let out a collective sigh of relief. One of the ANBU cautiously stepped forward and tentatively lifted the body slowly. A moment later his world turned dark as the corpse had exploded in a grand display of flames shocking everyone present. Neko's eyes widened as she grabbed the basket containing his head and launched it as far away as she could before it too exploded.

Silence once more only this time it was pure shock that caused it. Hiruzen sighed as he realized what had happened. His sharp eyes searched the stadium his eyes focusing on every detail as he had been taught by the Nidaime so many years before.

His eyes settled on a single person who seemed to meld perfectly into the shadows. He adopted a small smile as he saw the person slip out of the arena unnoticed. He rose to his feet and shouted "Find him at once!" The ANBU bowed to the Hokage before disappearing in smokeless shunshins. After all despite his personal feelings he was still Hokage.

Naruto chuckled to himself as he made his way through the shadows unnoticed by the various ANBU who searched the village for him. He could still feel the stinging from the mark on his hand signifying the destruction of his pet but he ignored it and continued forward towards his goal.

He silently lamented the loss of his weapons and his cloak which would be a pain to replace but their sacrifice was necessary for his prolonged survival as well as the completion of his goal. He ran a finger against the fabric of the cloak that he had stolen off of one of the ANBU 'Good material' he consented even if it would never live up to the awesomeness of his old cloak it was a halfway decent replacement. 'Just gotta get those seals put in to give me back some of that intimidation factor' The effect that hid every part of his face from sight aside from his eyes was the result of a seal stitched into the hood which cast a small ilusion over the hood, so long as Naruto had chakra the illusion could not be dispelled as it would simply restore itself before the illusion could even drop.

Naruto continued to move through the shadows occasionally having to change his course to avoid a group of ANBU. Finally he was forced out of the safety of Konoha's marketplace and into the open field. He felt uncomfortable, for all of his exuberance and unnecessarily flashy actions Naruto still preferred to stick in the darkness whenever possible carefully avoiding any and all contact with people, but in the open field doing so would be impossible leaving him with an entirely irrational sense of anxiety. Naruto increased his speed covering more distance faster meant that was just one less second that he was in the open and one less second that he was reminded of his old self. When he was still truly alive.

Unfortunately as was usually the case he would not be so lucky. Quickly stepping to the side he avoided a kunai as it implanted itself into the ground where he had once been. He looked behind him to see 15 or so ANBU all with tanto drawn glaring at him including Neko who led the group. "Give up already, there's no way you can escape from us, I won't let you." She spoke practically growling her last words.

Naruto forced his signature grin to his face. "I really don't have time to play with you at the moment. Please forgive me, but I have a prior arrangement. But since you came so far just for little old me I can leave you some entertainment." With that a single line that made up the twisting mass that was the tattoo on Naruto's hand began to turn black before lifting off of his skin and taking the form of an orb which Naruto grabbed placed on the ground in front of him.

"Have fun!" He waved as he took off once more one of the ANBU launched a kunai after him only for it to be intercepted by the shape that the orb was beginning to take.

The creature that stood before them looked like something out of a nightmare. It was only 5 feet tall but it made up for it's not so imposing height with its horrifying features, it appeared to be a somewhat humanoid shape with a scythe blades at the end of its long arms where its hands should have been. It's skin was black and had red lines running along its body. Its face was featureless barring its pure yellow eyes that showed no white, and the mouth which appeared to have been crafted with the same red lines that covered its body but was twisted into the shape of a demented smile that appeared to drip as if it was made out of blood.

Then it struck. Its speed was such that it had already forced its blade into an ANBU before any of them could react. In an instant it moved to its second target who was slightly more prepared and was able to block the monster's scythe with a kunai for just a moment, which was enough for Neko to take a swing with her blade forcing it to dodge.

"Fuck" she grunted both from the surprising effort it took for her to block its next attack as it focused its attention on her and frustration that the object of her hatred had escaped.

Naruto adopted a look of surprise as he felt the burn in his had signifying the death of his pet.

Perhaps she is stronger than I thought

It was far from his strongest pet but was certainly one of the more bloodthirsty and defeating it so quickly was still rather impressive. So impressive in fact that he began to ponder the value of keeping her alive even as just a source of entertainment and his interest in seeing how strong she could become fueled by her hatred of him.

A few minutes of running later he arrived at his destination.. He stared at the small door imbedded into the ground that was almost impossible to see if you didn't know what you were looking for. It was certainly a pain in the ass to find out where Danzo and his army of freaks had hid out but in this moment it was all worth it.

I'll make sure to give that guy a quick death. He thought in reference to the root nin he had captured and painstakingly tortured after removing the seal on his tongue.

He placed a single palm on the door feeling the strength of the metal before lifting his palm and slamming it down as hard as he could causing the metal to bend around the point of impact until it eventually gave way to his pure physical strength.

Leaping down into the hole he smiled as he saw that his entry had alerted some of the Root shinobi to his presence. 'Perfect' he thought as he charged forward smashing through his enemies and after picking up a fallen tanto slashing through them. Once he was finished he continued sprinting forward cleaving a path towards Danzo. 'I'm coming you old fuck.' he thought as he continued his wholesale slaughter of Danzo's forces.

Danzo was not a happy man. He had just been informed of an unknown force tearing through his shinobi like they were nothing. He turned to his two most trusted agents "Torune go stop them I don't care how many there are or how strong they are, failure will not be tolerated, am I clear."

"Hai Danzo-sama" with that Torune ran off to face the unknown enemy. "Fuu help me remove the brace on my arm if Torune should fail you and I will personally deal with the threat" Fuu nodded and began unlocking the large yellow brace that Danzo had placed on his arm to hide the Sharingan implanted in it.

Naruto had met very little resistance up until he reached a man who wore a black mask over his face with two white circles over the eyes. This man had actually forced him to stop for a moment as he was able to avoid his initial attack and return with one of his own

Naruto came to a stop staring at the new adversary who bit the fingertips of his gloves and pulled them off revealing his hands to be purple in color. "Well aren't you an interesting one" Naruto said a smile on his face.

"I guess I have enough time to entertain you for a bit" His smile grew when the man charged forward. Naruto quickly following suit ducked under Torune's punch and planted his fist into the Aburame's stomach. He sidestepped to avoid being touched by Torune's hands as attempted to slam his fists atop Naruto's head. He wasn't quite sure what the purple color of his hands signified but he was sure it wouldn't be a good idea to take a hit from his masked opponent.

"Interesting" he muttered as the Aburame tore off his shirt revealing that his whole upper body baring his neck and face was covered in the purple nano-insects. Torune charged Naruto once more though this time Naruto was forced back having to focus entirely on not being hit all the while trying to find an opening in his opponents to counter attack seeing as there were very few spots that he could hit without getting touched.

'Fuck it' he thought quickly sweeping his opponents feet out from under him as Torune attempted to continue his assault; however,this meant that Torune was now falling towards him. For any normal shinobi this would have lead to being infected by the poisonous nano bugs that covered Torune and suffering a painful death, luckily for Naruto he was far from a normal shinobi and allowed the momentum of his sweeping kick to bring him closer to Torune's lower body. Sliding under the man's legs as Torune continued his forward momentum missing Naruto entirely and allowing Naruto to draw on all of his strength and deliver a powerful punch . . . to the man's crotch.

Torune landed on his face no amount of training being able to stop any man's natural instinct as Torune groaned in pain and curled up into a fetal position reaching down to caress his injured balls in an attempt to ease the pain.

Naruto laughed loudly at the image of one of Danzo's "emotionless" soldiers being reduced to a caressing his nuts like they were the most precious things in existence. It was hilarious but now was not the time for laughter there was killing to be done. Deciding that he had inflicted enough pain upon the poor man he lifted the tanto and quickly cut his jugular. He would have interrogated the man but he had no time to bother with removing the seal especially considering that any time wasted was time that Danzo could escape.

With Torune dead Naruto continued forward in his search of Danzo. Surprisingly Naruto found Danzo extraordinarily quick. He came across a massive metal door that seemed to be made of the same material as the other door. So Naruto dealt with it in the same way.

Danzo had to admit to being shocked at the sight of Uzumaki Naruto busting his door with a single punch and even more shocked at the fact that it was him who had defeated so many of his shinobi.

"'Sup bitch" Was Naruto's eloquent greeting as he smiled happily at Danzo. "Bug boy was pretty tough but I killed him all the same just as I'm going to do to you and and whoever the fuck that guy is." Naruto could see the orange haired man flinch ever so slightly at the mention of the Aburame. That was when Naruto noticed the Sharingan in Danzo's arm as well as the one in his eye.

"Well color me shocked, you're a grave robber. Perhaps we can meet up for some tea later compare notes and such." Naruto finished this sentence with a large grin on his face.

"So how we going to do this both of you coming at me at once or we going one at a time?" Danzo remained silent but motioned for Fuu to attack. Unfortunately where Torune was a master of close range combat Fuu was a long range fighter a luxury that Naruto was not going to give judging by how swiftly closed the distance between himself and the Yamanaka and delivered a hard kick to the side knocking him out of the way.

Naruto was not finished and planted his foot in the ground leaping towards his opponent doing the same as he did with Torune and swiftly slitting his jugular. "That was easy" Naruto muttered as he turned to look at Danzo to find that the man was gone.

Naruto looked around the room finding no trace that the man had ever been there in the first place. Seeing this Naruto reacted in the only way he felt fit the situation.

"FUCK!" he shouted at the top of his lungs as rage began to build in him.

AN: This chapter has been mostly finished for a while I just had to go through and change some things to reflect the slight changes I made to the first chapter. Thank you to everyone that followed, favorited, and reviewed the first chapter and I hope this chapter held up to expectation. Someone PM'd me to ask how Naruto lost to the three jounin sensei despite how strong he is and my answer is that Naruto is extremely arrogant and was not truly taking any of his opponents seriously. Anyways I should be able to finish the next chapter soon enough as it's already half written in fact it was meant to continue this chapter but I decided to leave it be in the interest of keeping this chapter from getting too long.
