Blame the Demons That Raised Me
Chapter Three Where It Went Wrong
~Third Person~
"I see, anyone particular in mind?"
"Well I saw a bit in the scrolled about an unsealing jutsu.."
"And what do you want to unseal?"
"The nine tailed fox demon with in me or at least it's power..I don't want it to take me over."
"And how are we going to do that master?" Gnarl eagerly asked as Naruto greedily slurped his ramen.
"I don't know, I'll have to take another look at the scroll er cavern heart, though if that doesn't work we could frame another village for the murder of the Hokage's grandson, that should light a fire inside the old man's heart." I chuckled out as I walked back to the hole. "Alright minions let's go, get in the hole."
The minions followed Naruto's command and jumped back inside the hole. Once we were back in the Minion Cavern, the hole we used was covered up.
I took a look at the Cavern Heart, trying to read what was left of the jutsus. Though my efforts proved fruitless, apparently whenever a character was deciphered it would disappear. I frowned and reached my hand out, feeling compelled to and touched the Cavern Heart.
~The Vision~
During the night, there are two people in a deserted version of the leaf village. They looked worn out and it was clear that they were battling. Both wore leaf headband on their forehead but one had a green vest while the other had a long black robe that was torn in several places.
The two ran at each other and instantly started exchanging blows before the robed figure was forced back. As the leaf ninja rushed the downed opponent, said opponent unveiled a scroll and was equipped with long metal claws. Blows were exchanged once more but as the robed figure was forced down, he started a jutsu.
The leaf ninja was in shambles, and just as the final blow was about to be struck, the deep gash marks on its body started to burn. The leaf ninja cried out in pained confusion. The ninja looked at its body. The robed man had made a crudely cut circle on the stomach, around the belly button area.
Blood was coming from each of the variously sized cuts, then the robed man slashed upward just stopping short of the neck. All the blood rushed down to the stomach where it swirled in place.
The robed man shed one of his claws then forced his palm against the ninja's stomach. The blood evaporated to reveal a ball of concentrated chakra, which was forcefully removed. The ninja gave a blood curling cry before it fell to the floor, motionless.
The robed figure tossed off his robe to reveal the same marks on his own body, however he also had marks all over his body, though the marks that wee connected to the stomach spread to his limbs. The robed man put the chakra ball to his own stomach, with a dark chuckle. The orb of chakra sinks into his skin and a moment later made an army of clones.
~Naruto~
I opened my eyes and found that I was standing in front of the Cavern Heart. I blinked a few times in confusion as I backed away. Did I just see the how to do a forbidden jutsu? Was that how the very first one was done successfully? That was amazing and I can still see everything so clearly.
However, I also feel so exhausted. I walked away and my body instantly felt heavy. I fell to my knees and panted heavily.
"Master are you alright?"-Gnarl said as two minions helped me off the floor.
"Y-yeah just tired..I think I had a vision of how to do the chakra stealing jutsu..."
"I thought you wanted the unsealing jutsu?"
"I do but I guess the Cavern Heart wanted the chakra stealing one.."
"Probably so you can steal another's chakra and give it to the heart or yourself, my knowledge is still a bit limited. However whatever you do with it, I'm sure it will be quite evil."
"Yeah..well I'm going to bed..." I said as I trudged over to the where my room was.
"Oh don't go that way my liege, it's too inconvenient, there's a closer room just up this way." Quaver said pointing to a tunnel leading upward. I sighed and made my way to it, crawling up the slope and found that he was right there was only a small hall way with four tunnels. "This one, right here my young lord."
I went to the one Quaver was standing in front of and pointing in to, I went inside and there was a massive bed on it.
The next day, I sat in class with Sasuke and Sakura, we were the only ones waiting for our new teacher to arrive and it was so aggravating.
I leaned back with my arms crossed and my feet on the table. Sakura was trying to talk up Sasuke but he didn't seem interested. If she was just a little nicer to me I would probably feel bad about wanting to kill someone so pretty. Eventually the teacher came and he took us someplace outside and asked us about ourselves.
"Why don't you tell us about who the hell you are first." I said coldly saw we, me Sasuke and Sakura, sat on a concrete bench while the teacher leaned on a railing across from us.
"My name is Kakashi Hatake, I don't want to tell you about my likes or dislikes. My dreams ...are personal so what about you, in the armor?"
"..my name is Naruto Uzimaki, I like ramen and crushing those who oppose me, my dislike is being hated for something that isn't even my fault! ..or for no reason."
"Uhuh. So What about you?" Kakashi said as he turned his head to Sakura.
"Oh I'm Sakura Harno and I like..well~." Sakura turned her head towards Sasuke and she giggles.
"I see and what do you hate?"-Kakashi asked, sounding as interested as bread.
"..Naruto." She said it so bluntly, the fuck! I haven't done anything to her at all! I wonder if this means Kakashi already hates me too.
"Fuck you Sakura."- I said with in that same bluntness as she did.
"Settle down you two. And that leaves you."
"I am Sasuke Uchiha, I don't like anything and I hate a lot of things and all I want to do is to kill a certain someone and avenge my clan."
"I can see why the girl would be taken with him." Gnarl said, I just grunted and rolled my eyes.
After that, Kakashi told us about a mission and told us where to meet him tomorrow and to not to eat since it will be very intensive. We were dismissed and I went to the Minion Cavern.
"So for the- for this special mission or test, I need to be even stronger with magic just in case." I said as I looked down at Gnarl.
"Magic always comes in handy, my lord. But perhaps we can integrate it in with your ninja training." I gave him two rapid blinks and a long blank stare. "I mean have the two lessons overlap my lord, do them at the same time."
"Oh yeah sure." I didn't hide the excitement in my voice and we made our way to the training room. The minions had replaced the destroyed targets as it was all set for an intense round of fun.
"Let's start with shadow clone transformations, then let's see if you can have a clone make a fire ball."
"Ok." I stated before I made three clones of Gnarl.
"Oh my, well this would be very confusing for the other minions. Now for the fire balls."
"Right." We, me and my gnarl clones, all said together. It only took a moment for a fire ball to form in our hands and we got ready to throw.
"Ah not yet master let's see how big you can make it first."
"Oh ok." I admit I sounded a little intrigued as I looked at the bowl sized fire ball. "How do I do that?"
"Desire. The rage needed to create it is there. Now you just need to expand the ball itself."
"Got it." We all closed out eyes and put the fire ball between our hands. We confused on the fire itself and added some more energy to it, as I did I put more distance between my hands. I opened my eyes to see that the ball was as big as my head give or take an inch. "Let's try this again."
I said eagerly and made another fire ball, this time trying to make it bigger right off the bat. It only took a moment and with a nod from the real Gnarl, we let lose. Only a few targets in the back row survived, the others exploded leaving nothing left but a small fire in its place.
"Your skills are quite impressive my lord."
"Thanks I'm even impressing myself here. So I think before I run out of juice, that we try that chakra stealing technique."
"For the Cavern Heart? Yes of course and how shall we proceed?"
"We need bodies but these two need to be alive, obviously. I'm thinking maybe the port crew the ones guarding the Leaf's main docks. They might be a bit challenging though, we would need to lure them away instead of fighting them head on."
"Using a very appealing young female perhaps?"
"I guess but where- ohhh hmm could work. So how far is the uh Minion Boat from the docks?"
"A ways but it if it's still there it should be fully operational."
"Ok well let's go check."
~Zap~
Playing with other blues and swimming in water is fun, had no trouble so far. There are no Boombo birds here, yay! Have seen other ships in the distance but they never come here, so we blues continue to play on the ship and splash in water.
I lay in water next to massive wooden boat when talk of a new master starts. I crawl up the the boat and get to the top where the talk is clearer. I look over side of boat, between boat and rocks, there master stands looking up at us.
"Uhh hey blue dudes er minions is there a rope up there I can use to climb up?" Master calls and I turn to the blues.
"Find rope for the master." I say and they go and find rope and we toss it over board.
"...you're supposed to tie it to something before you toss it over board! Oh my god..how am I gonna get up there now!?"
"Oopsies.. Sorry Overlord we not bright.."
The master stops yelling and looks around the small space between the boat and the mountain. Soon the master jumps to boat then to the sea cliff then does it again before landing on the boat. We clap in amazement, no master has done that before, only use legs for walking and sometimes kicking.
"Alright guys listen up we're going on a little mission-"
"Woo mission!"-Blue in the back ground.
"Uhh yeah anyway I need you guys to steer the boat close to the docks tonight, like right now. So get moving." A second after the master gave his demands we were all preparing the ship for travel and in a few short moments where we heading to the shore.
~Third Person~
The boat pulled up to the docks where it was met with two leaf ninja guards, demanding to know what it was doing there.
"Oh I'm afraid I'm a bit lost." A sweet gentle and innocent sounding voice came from the boat.
"Oh well this is the leaf village, who are you?"-First leaf guard
"Show yourself maybe we can help, where were you trying to go?"-Second leaf guard. From the boat a young beautiful nude blonde woman leaned over the side.
"I-I have a map could you come up here and mark it for me I'm afraid I don't want to wake the other ladies by coming down." The trembling in the innocently sounding voice quickly gained the guards' attention.
"Of uhh well, one of us has to do I'll go-"-Second leaf guard said eagerly, taking a step forward.
"Why the hell do you get to go? I'm the-"-First leaf guard said as he shoved the other guard but the lady interjected her ideal before things got too physical.
"Please if both of you could come up. I would be oh so very grateful and I don't won't you fighting over little ol me anyway."
"Alright!" Both of the guards exclaimed before they jumped on to the ship. There they were exposed to the full beauty and full nakedness of the lost traveler; it was far too much for them and they passed out.
The boat started to leave and the woman exploded in smoke. A laugh echoed in the dead of night as the boat left the dock's view.
~Gnarl~
The young master returned with two men being dragged behind him, their hands appeared to be badly damaged as did their legs and aside small the blood from the nose they appeared to be fine. They also appeared to have been gagged with their own hand bands.
"It went well I take it?" I said as the dark master put the bodies down in the throne room just half afoot away from the cavern heart.
"Yep, they woke up before we got back to the cave so I did the jutsu again and this time while they we out, broke their arms and legs. I also gaged them to shut them up. But you know all that, since you can see what I see with the helmet."
"So what needs to be done for this forbidden jutsu? Oh, forbidden, it makes it all the more fun knowing it's probably morally wrong." I chuckled out as the master opened the vests of the captives.
"I need to mark their bodies as well as my own...which is what I probably should do first.." The master said the moment before he took off his most layers, armor and cloth all except for his metal gauntlets and underwear.
The master closed his eyes as his clawed steel gloves made work of his body, making cuts deep enough to draw blood but not enough to be fatal. He outlined his belly which then made drew a bloody trail up to his neck then down both of his arms as well as up his legs. By the time he was done the master was a bloody mess, I wondered if he'd be alright with so much blood seeping out of him with each passing second.
However, the master seared his wounds shut with a fireball, he did it effortlessly and didn't even scream in pain, impressive. He walked over to a fidgeting male and plunged his sharpened fingers into the male's stomach, the fingers were spaced out as they plunged into the flesh. The master took his hand back and made a few of those hands signs but they got slower, I'm guessing as he was nearing the end of the jutsu or the master was just getting tired. The young master held on one particular sigh and seemed to hold it for a while.
"Uh master are you alright?"
"Shut up Gnarl you're distracting me." The master snapped back.
"My apologies my lord." I exclaimed having gained a little more respect for the master. He's definitely gotten more like proper overlord.
I watched in anticipation as the room filled with silence aside from the two captives trying to get away. The look of fear in their eyes was sublime. I could see it all in their eyes; the panic of what the future holds, the regret of choosing to follow that beautiful temptress and the pain of their foolishness was made quite clear when the next and final sign was made.
"Ninja Art: Vampire's Curse!"
The ninja suddenly, screamed through the gag as his stomach was further mutilated by an invisible force connecting the puncture wounds. A bloody circle was formed around his belly that soon went up to the base of his neck. Then his skin pale as his veins were bright red, how peculiar.
~First Leaf Ninja~
Pain race all over my body, it felt like something was forcefully invading my body. I couldn't escape and I really wanted to, no one should have to endure this much pain.
The pain was bad but it was so much worse when I could feel all the chakra from body being ripped away, torn from my very bones. It all centered in my stomach and my chakra points were in severe pain, I didn't even know that could be done.
I didn't want to watch anymore I didn't even want to turn my head over to my partner, but I did when I saw the weird kid kneel down and place a hand to my stomach. The thought "it's all over" entered my mind. I turned my head to my horrified partner, I knew I was crying and gagged but I tried to tell him I was sorry for getting us to into this mess.
Whether it was my poor attempt, the fact that he didn't understand or that he was too fearful and disturbed, he didn't reply in any way. I felt the kid grab something inside me. Whatever it was, it hurt more than every single painful thing I've ever felt before, times ten. As he pulled at it, I could feel pain in my veins, ones I didn't know I had. Then they snapped, one by as it was being taken out. The pain was indescribable, I thought the pain before was bad but this was worse, and he was doing it slowly which added to my suffering. Why? Why was this happening?
When he finally pulled it out, true pain and complete emptiness filled my soul. A second later my eyes failed me, they only saw black. I hope this is the end I'm so tired and everything hurts.
~Third person~
Naruto, who was kneeling down, held in his hand the ninja's chakra in the form of a blue ball. Naruto stood up and tossed the ball towards the Cavern Heart. It was absorbed and Naruto turned to his head to the second leaf ninja before he opened his eyes.
"That was truly a breathtaking display of horror my lord." Gnarl said in a giddy tone as looked away from the ruin
"Y-yeah...I thought I would have to do..more work..but I just went with my instincts...now... for... the ...second ...one." Naruto panted out before he fell to the floor next to the lifeless body of the first ninja. After no movement from their master the minions put Naruto into a cozy bed.
Naruto didn't wake up until late the next morning, he shot out of bed and ran out of the room. He went down to the throne room where he ran into Gnarl.
"Gnarl!" Naruto called out as he approached the old minion.
"Glad you're up my lord what troubles you?"
"What time is it?"
"It is midday my lord."
"Oh shit! I'm so late for Kakashi's mission! Shit shit! Grubby! Get me to the training grounds now!" Naruto shouted out, hoping the little brown minion could hear him.
"Yes master, follow me." Grubby said as he started digging as fast as he can.
Naruto arrived at the training grounds about a half hour later, he crawled out from a hole, which was filled from within once he got out. Naruto walked into a clearing and looked around, seeing no one.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Son of a bitch! They left! Argh! Fuck! God damn it!"
"You have quite the potty mouth for someone as young as yourself." Kakashi said as he stood behind Naruto, leaning over to talk into his ear.
"Wah! Kakashi sensei! You're still here!? Wh-where are the others?" Naruto had jumped back in shock and hope as he now looked up at Kakashi.
"Hiding, I'll make this brief the mission you have is a survivor mission and all you have to do is to steal one of the two bells I have."
"Oh ok."
"By noon which is in less than half an hour. Why where you late?"
"I uh had..I was uh..I overslept, I rushed here as fast as I could though, totally forgot to eat ugh...and most of my armor, god damnit!" Naruto cried out in anger, realizing that he was almost completely naked, save for his underwear and gloves.
"Hmm well if you can't get the bells by noon you'll go without lunch but you can watch the others and I, if they get one, eat our lunch."
"Argh no! Not gonna happen give me one of those bells!" Naruto lunged at Kakashi, who side stepped and had Naruto's hand behind his own back.
"Gonna have to do a lot better than that." Kakashi said before he pushed Naruto away.
"I'll show you better!" Naruto growled out as he glared back at Kakashi.
"Good it's what I want."
"Argh!" Naruto charged at Kakashi throwing punches and kicks but all of which were evaded. Naruto through a punch but then Kakashi disappeared from view. He reappeared behind him with his hands together with four fingers pointed at Naruto's backside.
"Thousands years of pain." Kakashi shouted before he jabbed Naruto in the butt and sent him flying into a nearby pond. Naruto mentally groaned as he sunk towards the bottom.
He growled as he opened his eyes and suddenly he felt the need to use his Minion Gauntlet. He raised his hand and a few long moments later four blues and a brown appeared at his feet. They had a large sack with them, the blues quickly started to dress Naruto in his armor while the brown quickly started drowning. In that very instant, Naruto grabbed the unknown brown digger and soon brown energy emitted from the drowning minion and went into the gem on the Minion Gauntlet.
The gem was now glowing with brown as the main color instead of the usual yellow. Naruto lost the drowning feel he was having, feeling like he just took a large breath of air. He looked down at the blue who had just grabbed his mask. He grabbed the blue but nothing happened not even when he tried to do what he did before, he mentally growled and released the blue.
The four blue minions quickly dressed Naruto and the young overlord went to the surface. He found Kakashi standing there reading a book, the teacher glanced up to see the armor clad male's glare. Naruto glanced at the gem which was now in half, part brown and one part yellow; yellow being the bigger of the two colors.
"Oh glad to see you didn't drown, I see you got your armor back."
"Yeah and now it's time for revenge." Naruto said as he ran at Kakashi making a two fingered cross. "Shadow clone jutsu!" Seven clones appeared alongside Naruto as they ran at Kakashi.
"First lesson, taijutsu, fighting with out weapons-"
"Can it! I know all about taijutsu!" A clone said as he and another one jumped in the air.
"Oh really?" Kakashi said as he watched the airborne clones put their foot first. Just then his legs were grabbed from below and in the spilt second the kicks connected almost knocking him down. The skilled ninja blew up in smoke to reveal a log.
"Argh! A freaking substitution jutsu!" Naruto growled out as motioned his clones to fan out. He gave a look around and in the corner of his eye saw something shiny. He turned and started walking over to it, it was a bell on the floor by a tree. "Wow this is too easy."
"Wait master! It's a trap!" Gnarl's voice had urgency and it stopped Naruto from taking another step.
"Oh..that makes sense well then time to put my skills to good use huh Gnarl?" Naruto stood still and concentrated, he raised his hand as smiled as the bell was lifted off the ground. "Come to poppa, man so easy. I almost feel bad for the one who's not get gonna eat. I hope it's Sasuke." Just as the bell was a foot off the ground and near Naruto's hand, a snap was heard and Naruto's feet were tied together. The unsuspecting overlord was hung upside down from the tree, he growled out. "God damn it!" He formed a fireball in his hands and blasted the rope, which broke and he fell to the floor. He held out his hands to grab the bell on the floor. He grabbed it but them his ankle was latched on to and as he was forced back into the air, he released the bell. He saw it fall in slow motion before he let out a swear. "No! God Damnit!How many of these god damn things are there!?"
"A ninja is supposed to use his skills to our maneuver and or out think his opponent. Just using brute force will not be enough. But do try to hang in there Naruto." Kakashi said as he picked up the bell. Naruto cried out in rage as he awkwardly kicked the air. He growled lowly as he tried to think of a plan but then he saw two pack of something. Upon a little thought Naruto figured that they were box lunches. Naruto smirked as he grabbed the rope and burned it in his hands.
"Uhh let's test out the new color..uhh change to brown?" Before he even touched the ground, he dug his clawed gauntlets into the tree, happy to see that they stuck. He saw that the color changed to brown like he requested and a smirk spread across his hidden face. Naruto felt better than ever before, he felt a rush of unending strength and speed.
With a few quick movements, Naruto made it to the stone monument with the box lunches. He wasted no time and opened one but only managed to get a bite before Kakashi appeared behind him on top of the monument.
"Uhh I was uhh just-" Naruto quickly took as many bites as he could before he found himself tied to a large log, which was between two others.
He was stuck there and now that he tasted them he was really craving more. He was eventually joined by the others who sat near him as Kakashi stood before them. Naruto had requested that the gem change back to yellow as he figured he failed the mission.
Kakashi told them that instead of sending them back to the academy, he would drop them for the whole program. Soon Sasuke charged at Kakashi but found himself pinned under foot. Kakashi then began telling them about the true meaning of the mission, teamwork. Sakura questioned it but Kakashi waved it off and continued his lesion.
"Sakura you obsessed over Sasuke, who was gone, but when Naruto came and made a real effort to do something you completely ignored him."
"..." Sakura sighed as she lowered her head.
"Naruto, not only did you show up late which is extremely irresponsible but you showed up completely unprepared. On top of that you didn't even think about asking the others for help not even once. You even started eating the food just after a few minuets of getting here. Did you even think of the others once? Not at all because as long as you were happy nothing else matters. Am I right?"
"Don't feel bad master, there's nothing wrong with being a selfish, my lord, in fact it's quite good fun." Gnarl mused to his upset master.
"What? I didn't even have dinner and you were gonna eat both of the lunches all for yourself!?" Sakura asked angrily but Naruto just turned his head slightly to the side, hiding the feeling of true shame and possible regret.
"And you Sasuke you think your so much better than the others, such arrogance. Ninja missions are carried out in squads though you do need individual skills but you are supposed to be a team. That was the whole point of this mission. Which is why you all fail." Kakashi then made an example threatening Sasuke's life in exchanged for Naruto's and had Sakura chose between them. Though it was fake it still struck a chord with the three young former ninjas.
~A few minutes later~
"Ugh so not cool, I'm hungrier now than I was before." Naruto cried out.
"Serves you right, I can't believe you ate some of the lunch."-Sakura
"Oh I only had like two bites and why are angry at me? I should be angry at you. I may have gotten here late but at least I tried something I heard you say all you did was faint and pass out."
"Yeah well you're-"
"Enough, this bickering isn't going to help anyone, he gave us a second chance and we should be smart about it. Here Naruto you have some of mine to keep your strength up, I saw you do that fire ball jutsu. Think you could do it again?"-Sasuke said as he held up his boxed lunch.
"Definitely..and uhh thanks.." Naruto said as he looked down at the offered food.
"No here have some of mine I think it was the one you already had anyway."-Sakura said as she held her boxed lunch out towards Naruto.
"Thanks but you guys are forgetting that I'm tied up. I can't eat on my own." Naruto growled out in anger as he struggled in his binds.
"Oh fine whatever but this is just a one time thing got that."
"Just shut up and feed me. Might have to take off the mask." Naruto said as he opened his mouth, Sasuke took off the mask as Sakura head out a piece of food for Naruto.
"You don't have to be so mean ya know." Sakura said a bit annoyed as he fed Naruto, who chewed the food.
"Oh and you're soo nice to me."
"I'm feeding you aren't I?" Sakura said as she fed Naruto again.
"Only cuz Sasuke brought it up."
"Just shut up and eat before Kakashi gets back."
Naruto didn't say a thing and opened his mouth upon receiving another piece, he looked at the ground. "...Thank you...Sakura.."
"You'r-"
Just then there was an explosion of smoke and wind, and Kakashi made himself known, as well as his frustration.
"You! You broke the rules I hope you're ready for the punishment-" Just after he spoke the word and with a short series of hand signs, Kakashi made the sky black and foreboding. "Any last words?
"...you said we had one more chance and that we had to do this as a team.." Naruto said a bit scared of what was going to happen to him.
"Yeah Naruto was hungry he was gonna slow down the team.."-Sasuke
"Yeah and like the three of us are one.."-Sakura said, Naruto had a feeling she just said that cuz it might be what Kakashi wanted to here instead of an apology.
"...the three of you are one? That's your great excuse?" Kakashi mused out appearing to be ready to strike them down.
"Uhh yeah believe it!"-Naruto with frightened determination.
"Very well then you...pass.."
"What?" Naruto said in utter confusion.
"Huh?"-Sakura
"You. Pass."
"What do you mean?"
"You were the first one to break the rules and even though rules breakers are scum those who betray their friends are even worse than scum. So you all pass." The three students were glad to here the news. "Squad seven starts its first mission tomorrow...let's go home." Hearing that, Naruto smiled but then growled as the others starting walking away.
"Hey! You're forgetting someone! HEY! FINE I'LL DO THIS MYSELF! Brown." Naruto growled out as he looked down at the Minion Gauntlet, which had made brown the dominant color. Naruto let out a battle cry as he tries to break free, though it took a half minute for the first rope to break it didn't take that long before he was free with the need to punch something. "I will bash all of your skulls and wear them on my head...where did that come from that last part was weird...oh well...can't argue with the first half though ehehe..."
To Be continued…
Ps. I know that some don't like the pov changes as it can be confusing, which is understandable...I'll try to keep it more focused on Naruto's pov... or making clearer. Also for those a bit more confused or curios on where this is going; for the most part, for now, things are going chronologically with the original U.S series however at some point I will changed that and things will go in a different direction.
