Chapter 4-Torment
Naruto had never been so angry in his life. Ever! The remaining time he spent leading up to his confrontation with Kakashi, Tsunade, and Konoha in general he spent planning on how if not when to get their undivided attention. Now that he had it, Naruto was going to make sure that the people of Konoha along with it Hokage knew this wasn't going to be a one time deal, and he was going to make that clear through their infamous Toad Sage Seal Master named Jiraiya.
The said Sannin was now staring right at him in his own fighting stance with serious eyes that Naruto had barely ever saw during his brief time with the perverted man. However, it made little difference to the Demon Lord at the moment, and Naruto had every intention of making sure that for all of Jiraiya's so called power that the man understood one thing.
He was going to be in pain.
Lots and lots of pain.
"I'm going to hurt you and I'm going...to love it!" said Naruto before cracking his neck from side to side while letting the bloodlust inside him grow stronger with every passing second.
"I don't doubt it," said Jiraiya calmly, as he held steady waiting to see if he was the one going to make the first move, or if Naruto was going to do that first.
Not since the Kyuubi appearing over a decade ago did Jiraiya question whether or not he was going to live through the day.
Deep in his heart of hearts, Jiraiya knew the answer was no, and for a moment the person before him was not Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto.
The person before him was his old student.
"Listen to me Jiraiya! You have to take care of my son when I die. I'm counting on you," echoed the words of Namikaze Minato before the soon to be dead man went to face the Kyuubi.
'Minato...I'm sorry,' thought Jiraiya, as the image of Minato faded to show the man's flesh and blood turned Demon Lord.
A single leaf fell from a tree landing on the ground not far from either of them.
In less then a Kami given second, the two vanished from sight to engage the other, and go at it in an all out slugfest of epic proportions.
For the two combatants, it was if they were moving normally blocking or landing punch after punch, and kick after kick from the opposition. There was no point in using Jutsus in either opponent's mind, as it would only give the other a chance to attack, and neither fighter had any intention of giving the other an edge.
Naruto blocked a fist to his face before he countered it with a high kick aimed at Jiraiya's own, which the Sannin blocked, and then countered with knee to the Demon Lord's gut. The attack missed when Naruto leaped over Jiraiya before performing a spin kick that Jiraiya ducked, rolled away from his opponent, and deciding now was a good time to use a Jutsu.
"Earth Style: Mud Dragon Jutsu!" said Jiraiya sending a dragon made of mud at Naruto, who summoned chakra to his fingers, flicked his wrist to the right ever so slightly, and using his mastery over the five major elements dispelled Jutsu like it was nothing.
"Pathetic. You should know fully well that all of the elements of the world are under my complete control," said Naruto looking at Jiraiya, who smirked with his hand behind his back, and moved faster then Naruto expected to unleash a fully powered Rasengan into the Demon Lord's chest that sent him into the trees.
"I see that the arrogance of the previous Kyuubi has merged with you too," said Jiraiya before getting ready to fight yet again though he wondered if his attack slowed Naruto down at all.
"Arrogance? It is you who is the arrogant one here Jiraiya. If you think that your simple little incomplete Rasengan can cause me any damage, then you truly are one of the many unintelligent ape rats like the previous Kyuubi thought humans were," said Naruto, as he got out of the mess of trees that had buried him temporarily, and removed the remains of his shredded cloak.
"We'll see Naruto. I may not be as strong as you currently are now, but I can at least slow you down long enough for Tsunade to plan a strategy to fight back against you, and that's what matters," said Jiraiya since he knew that even if he were to fail in killing his best student's son he could at least wound him somehow.
"You always were the stupid one of your group when it came to intelligence Jiraiya. You think this will delay me? I've been expecting you for some time to arrive here when you learned of my location. You came here through my design! I willed you here! I have set things in place so every single bit of my time table has fit in accordingly. I know Tsunade is going to begin planning something with those bigots on the Council that are left, which will no doubt involve the Fire Daimyo's input since he will want to know about the very village he funds, and it just so happens that I left him a detailed message concerning my actions in Konoha to use against the assholes there when he arrives," said Naruto seeing the shocked look on Jiraiya's face and used it to his advantage to disappear before the Sannin's eyes only to reappear in front of him with a with an open palm strike into the stomach.
That knocked the wind right out of Jiraiya, as the Sannin was sent flying back into his own group of trees, and Naruto began to make several hand signs. It took a moment for Jiraiya to get out of his wooden tomb and shaking his head clean of the cobwebs that covered his mind.
'Damn! It's a good thing I could take some of those thanks to Tsunade-hime's punches to me when I do something really perverted,' thought Jiraiya spitting out some blood that was moving around in his mouth.
"Demon Style: Devil Spikes Jutsu!" said Naruto before slamming an open palm into the ground and Jiraiya had to leap out of the way just to barely escape the nasty demonic looking jagged edge covered spikes that rose from the ground trying to impale him.
'Holy crap that was close!' thought Jiraiya only to sense someone behind him and when he turned to see who it was the Sannin was backhanded towards the ground by Naruto.
"Tell me Jiraiya, when my parents chose you to be my Godfather did you tell them no or did you lie to their face?" said Naruto moving quickly and kicked Jiraiya moments before hitting the ground.
'Naruto's not playing around. He really wants to hurt me,' thought Jiraiya, as he barely managed to maneuver so he could stand on his own feet when flying through the air.
"No answer? Then answer this question...why didn't you offer to become the sacrifice rather then my old man," said Naruto before appearing behind the Sannin and ramming a fist into the older man's spine.
Jiraiya could only fall to his knees in pain screaming out from it before Naruto grabbed him by the neck before pulling him back so the man could speak.
"I did offer. I begged Minato to let me do it. I told him I could perform the sealing and allow him to be the Hokage. He looked at me like I was crazy. Your Father loved the village Naruto and I'll be the first to admit to you right now that it was blind love since the moment he became a Shinobi. The man thought he could change the world by being a martyr for the village that would set the standards everywhere in and out of Konoha. I told him he was fool for believing that and he was condemning his son to hatred that no child should go through. He then told me that was one of the reasons behind me being your Godfather and that should anything happen I was to take care of you," said Jiraiya only to wince when the grip on his throat increased.
"So you lied to his face when you said you would protect me. Or did you take cowards way out and just not say anything when he rushed to face the Kyuubi?" said Naruto, as one of his hands became claws, and became charged with demonic chakra.
Jiraiya said nothing knowing that it would speak volumes and because of it, Naruto had become enraged, and slammed his free hand into the man's chest making the perverted Toad Sannin scream out in pain. To the Sannin it felt like his body was on fire and at the same time felt like he was being electrocuted like a Lightning Jutsu would do. When it stopped, Naruto threw the man onto the ground on his back, and proceed to go through hand signs once more.
"N-Naruto stop. Please stop! I-I'm sorry for l-leaving. W-We all w-were when you were h-hurt in some shape or form," said Jiraiya, who would have said more to the Demon Lord, but the man went silent from the spike of killer intent, and the look in Naruto's eyes told the Sannin that he just said something wrong.
"You're...sorry? All of the people in Konoha are...sorry? YOU CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE PEOPLE OF KONOHA SO HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IF THEY ARE TRULY SORRY?" said Naruto his body generating massive amounts of demonic chakra that was swirling around his body like some great God.
"I know enough of them are!" said Jiraiya wondering if this was what it was like for his student when facing the previous Kyuubi?
"Then perhaps you can tell all those that are not they should have when they are all DEAD! 'Demonic Style: Devil's Crucifix!'" said Naruto finishing the hand signs and slammed a palm into Jiraiya's chest.
Instantly, the demonic chakra spread out across Jiraiya's form onto the ground before wave after wave of demonic chains erupted from the ground that tied Jiraiya up. The thick chains had metal spikes that pierced the Sannin at the wrists, shoulders, neck, chest, waist, knees, and ankles making Jiraiya scream out in pain. Reaching into the ground to the right of Jiraiya's neck, Naruto lifted up a heavy crimson bar that was connected to the chains, and lifting it all the way up with Jiraiya attached to it.
'Whoa!' thought Yugito and Kimimaro seeing what Naruto had done to the poor Sannin though in a way the man deserved it for neglecting his duties to Naruto.
"Time to take you home Ero-Sennin. 'Shadow Clone Jutsu!'" said Naruto making a team made up of a dozen clones that picked up the crucified Sannin and left.
Moments later, Kimimaro appeared followed by Yugito, and both were a little concerned with the rage that existed in the Demon Lord's heart.
"Are you all right Naruto-sama?" said Kimimaro seeing his master look at him for a few seconds before closing his eyes and nodding a silent yes.
"You really let him have it Naruto," said Yugito while the Nibi inside of her had been cheering on the Demon Lord to tell that perverted Sannin a lesson.
"Would you prefer I just let him die a merciful death?" said Naruto looking at the two for an honest answer.
"He got what he deserved Naruto-sama and more," said Kimimaro with Yugito in full agreement though she decided not to tell him that Nibi was calling for him to do it again.
More would have been said had Yuhi Kurenai appeared with her team appeared ready for a fight with Naruto's two allies in front of him ready to defend their Demon Lord of a master.
"Where is Jiraiya of the Sannin? Answer me Kyuubi!" said Kurenai seeing the bodily form that was Namikaze Naruto looking at them with piercing red eyes and suspected that the boy was lost to that of the actual Demon Lord like Tsunade first suspected.
"How dare you speak to Naruto-sama in such a fashion! I shall enjoy making you suffer in the Youkokage's esteemed honor," said Kimimaro summoning spike from his arms, legs, and his back ready to fight for his master with all the fury he could conjure.
"Ditto!" said Yugito summon her power to this battle making Kurenai and her team wary of both of them.
"I think we need to make a tactical retreat sensei," said Kiba, who now on his dog, and meant to grab Hinata when a wave of Nibi fire made the two leaped out of the way with Kimimaro focusing on Kiba, Yugito on Hinata, and Naruto facing off against the final remaining two.
"You're a Hyuuga. The Raikage spent years trying to get your clan's eyes. It became an obsession with him. He kept saying that if Kumo had your eyes that the village would be unstoppable in battle and could bring the village back to its former glory after the last Shinobi war," said Yugito shocking Hinata that this woman that followed Naruto was from Kumo, but then she remembered how the head of the late Raikage was left on the Branch Family doorstep.
"What is your relationship to Naruto-kun?" said Hinata hoping her fears weren't a reality at seeing this beautiful woman that had a cat like appearance to her.
'Naruto-kun? So she has feelings for him too huh? Damn! What is it with people trying to get a piece of my man or wanting to have his children?' thought Yugito angrily thinking back to Temari and how she got the gift of being a Mother to Naruto's first child.
It wasn't fair!
"Look at her eyes my kitten. She adores him even now. She must be one of the rare few that actually cared for him when they were growing up," said Nibi though she too was feeling a little territorial right about now.
"My relationship is none of your business Hyuuga. Besides, what does it matter to you anyway? Aren't you one of those arrogant humans that despises anything that's different to them?" said Yugito sending Nibi chakra to Hinata, who dodged each attack, and then activated her Byakugan to see what power the woman held.
"You're wrong! I cared about Naruto-kun since I first saw him at the Academy. He was always mistreated, but he still continued on, and never backed down from anything. He gave me a nindo I could believe in, he gave me the strength I needed to become better, and he even helped make me believe in myself when all I did was question everything I did. I love Naruto-kun!" said Hinata charging forward ready to take the fight to Yugito and prove to Naruto that she was strong even if he was the enemy.
"Ready to die Inuzuka?" said Kimimaro the bloodlust of his clan now kicking in and he was prepared to go all out.
"I heard about you from Shikamaru and Lee. You're that crazy bone guy that is loyal to Orochimaru," said Kiba getting ready to attack the albino with his partner Akamaru.
"I serve Orochimaru no more. My loyalty is to the Youkokage and I will prove it in my fight against you," said Kimimaro before charging at the master and pet ready to show these two from the Leaf what he could do.
"I will give you just this one chance to surrender and if you comply I will let you live to return to Konoha to see the fate of one Jiraiya of the Sannin," said Naruto, as he let his demonic chakra spike further making Shino's bugs go crazy and Kurenai began sweating up a storm.
"There is no such act of mercy unless it has a price," said Kurenai wondering what it was that Naruto wanted and almost shuddered at the darker thoughts that ran through her head at the moment while the others fought in their respected battles.
"Correct. What I require, is one of your team members of my choice to be my...hostage should you try to waste my act of mercy, and send an army of Shinobi with the intent to harm me or any of those loyal to me," said Naruto walking towards the two with while Shino commanded his bugs to create some kind of protective barrier around the him and his sensei.
"I'll go," said Shino not wishing to endanger his teammate or his former sensei.
"You must have too many bugs in your ears Shino. I said I would choose!" said Naruto snapping his fingers creating a circle of hellfire to cover the area blocking off the two in front of him and Kimimaro from Kiba and Akamaru.
Leaving just...one choice for them all to see.
'What the...?' thought Yugito seeing the intense heat from the fire all around them, but none of it hurting them.
"My choice is Hyuuga Hinata," said Naruto walking away from Shino and Kurenai much to the latter's protest telling him to stay away from her.
"Leave Hinata alone you demon. She actually liked Naruto so don't you dare lay a hand on her!" said Kiba with Akamaru barking his own opinion, but was silenced by the cold glare Naruto gave them, and walked further to greet his "hostage".
"Naruto-kun?" said Hinata looking into his crimson eyes wishing she could see his blue ones if only for a second.
"It's been a long time Hinata-chan. Too long actually," said Naruto stroking her cheek making Hinata blush at his touch remembering all the times he would be so close to her that she would faint after turning such an impossible shade of red.
"I thought you were dead. I was so depressed when that happened and even more when the village celebrated your death," said Hinata her eyes filled with tears and before she knew it she had found herself in his arms after giving him a hug while crying into his chest.
"It's all right Hinata-chan. Let it all out. We have plenty of time to talk when we get back to my hideout," said Naruto seeing her nod from the spot in her chest.
"Hinata! Get away from him. He's not Naruto. He's really the Demon Lord in disguise!" said Kiba hoping she would hear him, but she seemed to ignore his words.
"Even if I wasn't your choice I would have wanted to come with you," said Hinata, as she couldn't believe she was telling him this, and had to fight not to faint from doing so.
'God damn it!' thought Yugito her eyes blazing with fury while Nibi was also getting a little ticked at the Hyuuga getting all of Naruto's current affection.
"I can't wait to get out of your body long enough to ravage him," said Nibi hissing at the look of contentment on the Hyuuga's face.
That should be her face nestled deep in his muscled chest.
"Let's go then," said Naruto picking Hinata up making her let out a squeak of excitement before the group disappeared with the wall of fire around the rest of Team 8 vanishing some 15 minutes later.
(Hokage Tower)
Tsunade sighed, as the Council was in an uproar over learning it was Naruto that had done all the damage to Konoha, and they called for his head. They felt they needed to be the fighting resistance against the tyranny of the Demon Lord and that where all the other villages failed they could succeed proving they were still the strongest.
"Considering what this village has done to Naruto, didn't it ever occur to you that this was a self fulfilling prophecy?" said Tsunade seeing the group of Council members that were mostly older then she was with only the Clan Heads in the room being the opposite of that.
"We did what we did to humble the demon. To teach it that we humans are the superior race in this world and that it should know its place that is at our feet," said some fat old Councilman, who looked like he had been around since the Sandaime.
"The information we have been able to gather tells us he not what you all once thought and that his Father was none other then the Yondaime, who if I recall correctly saved you all from being slaughtered at the Kyuubi's feet," said Tsunade seeing the man sneer at her like she was a little girl that had yet to mature.
"That is an outrageous lie! I don't care what you, the Sandaime, or the records pertaining to the supposed demon's birth. That boy was a demon made human and we had a chance to finally get rid of him only the Sandaime show mercy that the monster took advantage of," said the fat Councilman getting nods from several others.
"Getting beaten up on his birthday or starving him if not giving him rotten food is your version of mercy?" said Tsunade seeing several Clan Head's have their eyebrow's raised including the Akimichi since such things were blasphemy to them.
"As I said before it was done to humble the beast," said the fat Councilman, who Tsunade sensed had a sense of pride in knowing that happened to Naruto.
"Humbling someone through starvation and beatings. I think I see your point. ANBU! Seize all this man's assets, his home if it's not destroyed, and any place that still sells food to give him and his family little to nothing with the little they get being rotten," said Tsunade seeing the ANBU nod and leaving seeing the fat Councilman protesting her actions along with other members that believed what he did.
"What are you doing? You can't do this to me?" said the Councilman rising from his seat in protest to her actions while the woman herself just smiled a little too sweetly for his taste.
"You said it yourself. You tried to humble Naruto by starving him. So I'm using that on you to see if it works. I'm also issuing that anyone, who wishes to beat the crap out of you, and going so far as to kill your family will not be punished. I think this is perfect way to humble you wouldn't you say?" said Tsunade seeing the man pale and sputter more protests at her words knowing she had turned his against him.
"You are going beyond your authority!" said Homura, who received a nasty glare from her, and he knew that he had unknowingly directed her wrath at him.
"Like you did when you wanted Naruto to be banned from most stores? When you denied the Sandaime the power to watch over Naruto after Jiraiya and I left? How many times did all of you overstep your bounds and hide it from the Fire Daimyo?" said Tsunade seeing the various members of this Council looking nervous knowing that if the Daimyo of Fire Country learned of what happened they would be royally screwed.
"Like the Fire Daimyo would let the demon run around unchecked," said Koharu, but it was mostly to herself, and didn't know Tsunade heard her.
"Its funny you should say that Koharu because it turns out from my sources that the Fire Daimyo is coming here and he apparently wants answers to this situation," said Tsunade seeing the older woman pale at that information, as did the others, and they wondered how the Fire Daimyo knew so fast about their situation.
"Tsunade-sama! Come quick! Its Jiraiya!" said Shizune looking deathly pale when she ran into the room while the other Council members mistook her voice of worry for that of relief.
"So the Sannin did it. I knew he would be able to kill the demon," said Danzo smiling at the Council despite his crippled condition.
"No he didn't," said Hiashi seeing the look on Shizune's face, as did the rest of the Clan Heads, and they knew it was no victory for the Toad Sannin.
"What do you mean? You heard her! Jiraiya has returned meaning he killed the demon," said Haruno Yasha, who was happy the Namikaze was dead seeing how the Yondaime passed her over for that Uzumaki tramp.
"Look out the window!" said Shizune her voice near hysteric levels making the once happy Council stop being happy when they looked while Tsunade having already left to find Jiraiya.
They all gasped and when Tsunade reach him outside in the middle of Konoha Square she fell to her knees and began to cry.
Before her was a crucified Jiraiya, wrapped in thick pointy chains, and was bleeding all over while looking like he was near death from the way his eyes looked. The sight of his blood covered body brought back memories of Dan, Nawaki, and Naruto when they were near death. Acting quickly, Tsunade tried to get her fellow teammate free, but when she tried to pull on the chain he screamed out in pain, and she realized that all of the chain length around Jiraiya was done in a way that trying to free him would cause him further pain.
"Tsunade...let me die," said Jiraiya, as his voice was raspy, tired, and broken down from the far cry from what his voice was normally like.
"W-What?! Jiraiya what the hell are you saying? I need you! Konoha needs you! How can you just simply ask me to let you die?" said Tsunade trying once more somehow try to remove the chains that bound him in this manner before she stopped when he let out another cry of pain.
"I deserve this Tsunade. Everyone here, who has wronged Naruto, has only just begun to suffer, and suffer they will without a doubt," said Jiraiya before he coughed up blood that fell less then a few inches from her.
"Is he really Naruto?" said Tsunade wondering if what Inoichi said earlier was true.
"Yes its Naruto. He's out for blood. Only those he deems worthy of mercy will be spared his wrath and right now were next right after he deals with Akatsuki," said Jiraiya having been told by the Shadow Clones about the plan the original has for all of the Elemental Countries.
"He's going after Akatsuki next? That means we have time. Time to prepare some kind of counterattack against him, a possible sealing, or maybe some kind of Jutsu that will send him from this world," said Tsunade looking away from Jiraiya in thought not seeing the Sannin shake his head at her attempts at grasping for straws.
"Don't be stupid Tsunade. We had this coming to us for well over a decade and a half in the making and you know that just as I do. We left the son of the Yondaime to the mercy of angry wolves that were out for blood the very moment they learned he had the Kyuubi sealed inside of him. We left him to be mauled when we should have protected him. We deserve to suffer like this for not protecting him like Kushina and Minato wanted us to do when they passed on," said Jiraiya seeing her now have tears in her eyes that were filled with disbelief at what she was hearing.
"What did he do to you?" said Tsunade seeing his eyes that were so old like how their sensei's eyes had looked right before they left and not take Naruto with them.
"He showed what I...no what all of us should have seen from the beginning Tsunade. He showed me the truth behind human arrogance and the memories of the previous Kyuubi. The one that summoned the fox was an Uchiha," said Jiraiya seeing the woman look at him in shock and populace around them gasped as well.
"What? An Uchiha? Who?" said Tsunade wondering how an Uchiha could summon the Kyuubi and command it to destroy everything around it?
"Uchiha Madara. He's alive Tsunade. He summoned Kyuubi to destroy Konoha, but did not take into the account of the Kyuubi being sealed so he later formed Akatsuki to seal all the beasts into a giant statue that is an ancient super weapon that can destroy all life in the known world. He's influenced everything from the Shinobi wars, to the Mist's civil war, and finally the summoning of Kyuubi in order to destroy Konoha," said Jiraiya before he began laughing despite the pain and blood filling his lungs.
"Stop it you old pervert or you'll die faster," said Tsunade trying to free him again before she went to trying to heal his wounds.
"I can't help it Tsunade-hime. I just find it funny that the people of this village love the Uchiha, who is the long lined descendant of the man responsible for summoning the demon that killed the Yondaime, and the Yondaime's son is hated because of the damn demon he once held," said Jiraiya, who continued to laugh again, and Tsunade had to knock him out with a blow to the head using her strength.
'Have we really fallen so far?' thought Tsunade before she picked up the large object Jiraiya was tied to and ran to the Hospital knowing it was there she had a chance to save him with his pleas for dying be damned!
Above them in a nearby building, one of the Naruto Shadow Clones smirked at the scene he had just witnessed, and went poof send the information to others.
(Konoha Hospital-Kakashi's Room)
"Do you think he's asleep or just drugged?" said a voice making the former Jounin stir a little at the sound of someone talking.
"I think it's the latter. Look he's moving slightly!" said another voice that sounded like the first.
When Kakashi did open his one good eye, it instantly widened at the sight of seeing a small group of Naruto's standing before him, and instantly he was terrified of what was going to happen to him.
'He's comeback to finish me off!' thought Kakashi hearing the group of clones chuckle when they saw the crippled man's heart monitor increase in beeps several times over.
"Sleeping well Kakashi?" said the leader of the Shadow Clones that were smiling at him with evil intentions.
"How's the morphine they give you everyday to make sure you don't feel any pain," said a second Naruto next to the leader seeing the various tubes that were stuck in the man.
"How many people have come to visit to offer their condolences in being destroyed by the demon?" said another Naruto was the closest of them all to his face making the now literally one eyed man shiver in fear.
'Why don't they just kill me like I know he wants them to?' thought Kakashi wishing he could speak, but considering how mauled he had become from the original's attack it was kind of impossible, and even if their was a possibility that he could speak, the former man doubt anything he got out would be correctly pronounced.
"You're probably wondering why you aren't dead yet Kakashi and for god reason since according to your medical charts here you should have died long before Asuma found you. They've call it a miracle from Kami that you survived my wrath and no doubt the teachers at the Academy have had students go on fieldtrips to visit you for your supposed heroism. What they don't know is that you are allowed to live not by the medical skills the doctors possess, not by the will of Kami, and certainly not your own determination to survive since the original distinctly heard you begging for death. You are alive because our creator wishes it so," said the leader of the clones seeing the silver haired man's eye widen in shock.
'What did he say?' thought Kakashi his eye widening in terror knowing that he was alive through the power of a Demon Lord.
"Or rather you were until our creator thought otherwise. Right now he's gotten quite sick and tired of having to use his powers to sustain your life. So he sent us to tell you that when you die...you're going on a one way trip straight into hell where you belong," said one of the Naruto clones seeing the man's monitors begin beeping rapidly while trying to struggle in some way regardless of how futile it may be to escape.
"Now you're probably thinking that because of your so called 'noble' deeds concerning our boss makes you think that you are going to go up there with angels and fluffy clouds. What you don't know is that because of your betrayal mixed with the invisible demonic chakra string tied to your body grants you a one way trip in the opposite direction. Did you really think you were going up after betraying the original like you did at the Valley of the End? Your sensei's own son no less?! You're belief's in that you did the greater good in what you did to the real Naruto was greatly misplaced and now you are going to pay for fully when he sends your soul into hell to be tortured for all eternity by countless hordes of demons that you hate so much," said a Naruto Shadow Clone to Kakashi's left that let out a wicked laugh that made Kakashi tremble further before they all went "poof" in front of him.
For a second, nothing happened to him, and for moment Kakashi thought it was just a scare tactic done by the demon to make him more afraid to die.
Then it happened.
His heart began to constrict like he was having a heart attack, but felt even worse, and felt like someone was gripping his heart from the inside before squeezing it. The machines that monitored is vitals were now blaring all around him, yet none of the medical staff had come to check up on him, and had he been calmer he would have understood why.
The Hospital alert system that was connected to his room had been disabled with the two guards outside his room under a Genjutsu thinking everything was fine. The security that were watching the security cameras in the former Jounin's room for that wing however, had been killed with the very monitor showing the room turned off, and smeared thickly in crimson red.
Who said Shadow Clones couldn't multi-task?
Within a matter of minutes, Hatake Kakashi: Son of the White Fang, and the student of the Yondaime Hokage died a painful agonizing death that was painted clear as day in his one remaining eye. By the time anyone had come to check up on him or learn of what happened to the others, it would be too late to do anything, and when Tsunade learned of this she knew instantly the one that was responsible for it.
Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto: The Youkokage of the Elemental Countries.
(Undisclosed Location-2 Weeks Later)
"This has become an even greater problem, then I originally anticipated, and a new plan needs to be devised," said Pein with the remaining Akatsuki that were Konan, Zetsu, and Uchiha Madara making himself known to the other two much to their surprise.
"Any word from our sources on the whereabouts of our fallen members?" said Konan looking at Zetsu, who looked a little more out of it then usual, and she wondered what was going on inside his head.
"No. What's more I think we could consider having Orochimaru brought back into the organization. We need all the firepower we can get our hands on," said Zetsu's nicer side while his darker one nodded in agreement, which in itself was rare, and somewhat scary.
"I agree! Orochimaru may be a prick and a pedophile at times, but he possibly has the power we need to remotely stand a chance against him, and those that follow him," said Zetsu's darker side twitching slightly after when he spoke.
"Do you agree with this Madara-sama?" said Pein knowing that the man was the true leader of the organization and his say was what would influence the decision to have the Sannin brought back.
"Regrettably, what Zetsu has just said is the truth, and we need to bring the snake Sannin back into the Akatsuki Organization," said Madara wishing he didn't have to, but right now the situation had gotten completely out of control, and they needed all the help they could get.
"I agree as well," said Konan looking at Pein, who nodded knowing that if they were to stop the premonition she kept dreaming about from happening they needed to deal with the vile Sannin.
"I'll make the arrangements," said Pein before they all vanished from their holographic projections.
(Hokage Tower-Meeting Room)
"We are honored to have you grace us with your presence Daimyo-sama," said Danzo trying to get on the man's good side, though from the look of seriousness on the Feudal Lord's face, and the army of samurai with him there was little goodness to be had.
"Do not even attempt to flatter me Danzo. I have heard some many interesting things that reached my walls about Konoha and I am finding them to be most...unpleasant when they are spoken," said the Fire Daimyo, who was a well built, well educated man, and was a well trained warrior in his own right having been trained by some of the best in all of Fire Country.
"My apologies for Danzo's stupidity Daimyo-sama, but as you can see Konoha has not been what it once was during the days of the Sandaime, and the years of the Yondaime had running the Leaf," said Tsunade sitting at the table with the other Council members, Clan Heads, and Shizune beside her waiting for orders.
"Ah yes. The Yondaime, who I believe was the one that sealed Kyuubi, and into his own son no less. Tell me, how was Naruto treated when growing up here in Konoha?" said the Fire Daimyo eyeing them all seeing some were trying not to shift nervously in their seats.
"He was treated well Daimyo-sama," said a Council member lying right though his teeth, which the Daimyo noticed immediately, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Are you sure?" said the Fire Daimyo looking at them all while keeping his tone neutral before looking at Tsunade for a response from her, but when she said nothing he saw the look in her eyes, and he sighed before shaking his head.
"Is something wrong Daimyo-sama," said Homura wondering what Tsunade had done to make him sigh and shake his head.
"Everything is wrong Homura-san. I left this village go unsupervised from my watchful eyes because I had believed that the Sandaime could handle it when his successor died. Now I find this Council has lied to me, lied to its people, and has manipulated events for their own benefit rather then that of its people. Through your actions you created a new Demon Lord that hates you, despises you, and wants to see you all burn in the lowest levels of hell. Quite frankly after what information was brought to me, I am inclined to agree with him, and simply let him kill this village in one swift stroke," said the Fire Daimyo surprising everyone in the room.
"You can't be serious Daimyo-sama! Where will you go for hired help when you need Shinobi to assist you in delegate matters or retrieval missions," said Koharu looking at the Fire Daimyo, who barely batted an eye at her, and looked at a tired eyed Tsunade knowing she knew the same as him about the village.
"There are other villages that I can hire. Like Suna for example? Yes, they seem to have a powerful Kazekage that was like Naruto only unlike the people here, they love him, and are honored to call him their Kazekage," said the Fire Daimyo, as he hit a nerve with the Council members.
"What must we do to regain your favor Daimyo-sama? Surely, there is something we can do to appease you, and show that we still have the 'Will of Fire' that the Sandaime told you we have?" said Hiashi having decided to say something though his eyes were tired after learning that Naruto had taken Hinata as his hostage.
Neji was surprised and upset at first and the same time by that since Hinata was so in love with Naruto even after they all thought he was dead.
(Flashback)
"Where is Hinata-sama?" said Neji having heard her team came home, but found that his cousin had not returned, and it worried him.
"I'm afraid Hinata-sama is not coming back Neji," said Hiashi seeing his brother's son look at him with wide eyes at what was just said.
"What do you mean Hiashi-sama? Are you saying that she is...dead?" said Neji finding that his heart was hurting inside because of all the past years of abuse he delivered to her and had spent the last half a decade on up to make amends for it.
"From what I just learned, it seems that Namikaze Naruto has spared Team 8 in exchange for having her as his hostage so the Leaf would be less ambitious to hunting him down," said Hiashi seeing Neji's worried eyes soften a little, but they still held worry, and it was for a good reason.
Naruto had turned into a Demon Lord, was angry at Konoha, and could take it out on Hinata if he wished without worry.
"She may be his hostage, but I think she will be okay Hiashi-sama," said Neji seeing the man turn fully to him with a questioning eyebrow raised.
"Please explain Neji," said Hiashi seeing Neji's mind working on the events in his head and knew the boy had a reason for thinking what he did.
"Hinata-sama has never harmed Naruto, never belittled him, and never once thought of him like the villagers did when he was growing up. I think Naruto just wants to have her by his side rather then possibly against him when he returns to Konoha to finish the rest of the village off," said Neji seeing Hiashi think on this and nodded in agreement at his nephew's words.
"Do you think the Hyuuga Clan will feel any backlash from Naruto?" said Hiashi, as he knew of several Elders in the clan that didn't like Naruto period whether it was because of being a Namikaze or because of the Kyuubi.
"I know that there are some in clan that do not deserve his mercy and I'm sure those of our clan know this. I think those that are guilty will be slaughtered while the rest of us will be allowed to live in hopes we remember not to make the same mistake twice," said Neji knowing that if Naruto's current action were anything to go by, then the Hyuuga Clan could still live, and learn to change properly with the times.
"I hope you are right Neji. For the moment, we must have faith in Hinata that she will in fact survive this and come back if she so wishes," said Hiashi knowing that all he could do was wait and prayed for the best.
(End Flashback)
Now Hiashi sat in his seat once more praying his oldest was safe and that her past actions of being nice to Naruto would allow him to show mercy upon her innocent form. For the next few days after he had heard about what happened, Hiashi had waited for the moment that someone would come tell him that they had found Hinata dead, or possibly alive yet crippled forever to be a reminder to the village that no one was safe regardless of those that loved him.
"You have little you can do to regain my favor once more Hiashi-sama, but I am inclined to consider this one option though if the Council all agree on this, then I'm afraid that the village will never ever receive work from me...again," said the Fire Daimyo seeing the group around him looking at him somewhat anxiously to know what it was they could do.
"What do you propose Daimyo-sama?" said Tsunade wondering what the man's idea was to possibly redeeming themselves from future damnation.
Not that they were then likely headed that way no regardless.
"First, I want the entire story behind the Kyuubi attacking Konoha with the fox demon's connection to the Uchiha Clan, Second, the reason behind Itachi killing off his fellow kin, and the final condition is to the Yondaime's dying wish to become revealed since its clear you didn't let that become public knowledge at all. Agree to do all of that and I will not pull the funding from the Leaf," said the Fire Daimyo seeing that many of the collective Council members were looking nervous right now and he knew they didn't want to say anything.
"D-Daimyo-sama, please you must reconsider such a request. If the public ever found out about the Uchiha Clan or Uchiha Sasuke knowing the real reason, then he will try to take his revenge on us," said Homura not wanting to face the public or Uchiha Sasuke for that matter.
"Not only that, but the public will find it to be our fault for the Yondaime's dying wish not being fulfilled when Jiraiya of the Sannin didn't live up to his expectation of being the dem-boy's Godfather," said Danzo knowing all the power he had been gathering to take over Konoha would be lost along with the public support in what he was doing if they knew the truth.
"Would you prefer it if I told them? When I first explained my terms, you all seemed very surprised that I knew about it. Why do you suppose that is?" said the Fire Daimyo putting his hands together on the table looking at them for an expected answer to his question.
"We didn't know that you knew the truth," said Tsunade getting a glare here and there from various members of the Council.
"Correct. Meaning that even after I arrived here, you all planned to keep me in the dark about your past actions, and knew that if I became aware of them it would get you all in serious trouble. Now I believe given the people here have studied the laws of Konoha very thoroughly to a point where you could name half of them by memory. I can do the same, but there is one law since the days of the Shodaime that I think you all should remember by heart, and I'm going to recite it right now. 'All major events concerning the village must be shared with the reigning Fire Daimyo by the Hokage and if anything or anyone prevents him from doing so must be punished accordingly by the Fire Daimyo himself.' Now, can any of you explain to me how the appearance and sealing of Kyuubi did not fall under that law or should I just begin punishing all of you now?" said the Fire Daimyo seeing the Council flinching at the reciting of the law that was one of many the Shodaime passed in the very beginning when founding the village.
"It was Uchiha Fugaku's idea. He felt that such matters were not meant for you since the matter had been settled," said Aburame Shibi seeing why the man became so...zealous in wanting to keep things in the dark about the situation.
"I see. Unfortunately, he is dead so punishing him like I want, but I think I can another way, and it pertains to one Uchiha Sasuke," said the Fire Daimyo seeing more Council members stiffen since they had hoped to mold the Uchiha into a puppet of a Hokage when Tsunade stepped down.
"How is that Daimyo-sama?" said Tsunade seeing as how the people had always given Sasuke the spoiling type treatment.
"It quite simple Hokage-sama. I hereby order the boy's bloodline sealed up and never to be passed down the line of his clan until further ordered," said the Fire Daimyo now getting an uproar from the Council saying it was unfair only to be silenced by a hand slamming down and the man's bodyguards taking a step forward with swords ready to be drawn at the Feudal Lord's command.
'Now there's a punishment I can get behind. Besides, I doubt Sasuke will want to rebuild his clan considering he's never once looked at a girl much less taken one on a date, and I wouldn't be that surprised if he 'stayed on his side of the fence' when it came being in a possible relationship,' thought Tsunade holding back a smirk while Danzo, Homura, and various other Council members now pleased for the Fire Daimyo to rethink his actions.
"We need the revival of the Uchiha Clan!" said Haruno Yasha, as she had been having high hopes in having Sakura be married to Sasuke, and it wasn't possible if the young man's prized bloodline was sealed off.
"Those eyes could help us in the future against the demon that threatens to destroy us," said Danzo knowing that if the Uchiha's Sharingan could control the old Kyuubi then maybe Sasuke's eyes could control the new one.
"Your choice of words speaks volumes Danzo-san. It seems I was correct in my beliefs that the 'Will of Fire' has indeed died out in the Leaf and I should look elsewhere for a competent Shinobi village. If I cannot have proper Shinobi that possess the 'Will of Fire' in Konoha, then I will hire Shinobi that possess the 'Will of the Wind' in Suna," said the Fire Daimyo getting up from his seat and left with his bodyguards much to the pleas from the Council while Tsunade sat back in her chair and sighed.
It seemed all hope was lost.
(Undisclosed Location)
Uchiha Itachi was many things with "murder" being a part of his Shinobi resume, but he had never in his life outside of training with Uchiha Madara been so utterly defeated in his entire life like he had at the hands of Namikaze Naruto. Upon fighting the Demon Lord, Itachi tried to use his Sharingan immediately to make the demon in human form submit to him like Madara did the first Kyuubi, and found that it had no effect on the Demon Lord much to the Uchiha's surprise. His surprise had cost Itachi dearly, as he remembered Naruto grinning wildly at him before appearing in front him, and then all went black when a clawed hand came at his face before being taking a beating unlike any he had ever been hit with in his life.
Now here he was, beaten up, bleeding heavily for well over a week now, tied up, and was stuck in some unknown place awaiting his death.
"Still alive Itachi?" said a voice that Itachi knew could only belong to Naruto.
"Barely," said Itachi knowing that while the body could heal naturally it could only heal so much and the Uchiha Prodigy was fairly certain that he had a couple of broken ribs with some of them sticking into his lungs.
"Good. I have just received word from my spies that the Feudal Lord of Fire Country has ordered your brother's bloodline sealed up and I've decided to speed up my confrontation with your teme of a brother. Before we head out I'm going to have my medic specialist stabilize you long enough to make the trip and watch the fight that I intend to have with Sasuke. You may not be able to see the fight Itachi, but I'll make damn sure that you'll be able to recognize your brother's screams of agony when I gut him open with my sword," said Naruto before leaving the room and shutting the door.
"If I could feel pity for my weakling of a brother I would," said Itachi to the darkness and to himself before he did something he hadn't done in years.
He laughed.
Uchiha Itachi, the slayer of the Uchiha Clan, the former member of the Akatsuki, and now just broken Shinobi laughed right into the darkness knowing what awaited Konoha with its soon-to-be destruction.
(With Naruto)
"You seemed to have made Itachi happy regarding your decision," said Yugito walking beside Naruto with Hinata on the opposite side of the Demon Lord looking over Itachi's medical chart.
"Why shouldn't I make him happy? He did the old man a favor in killing off most of the Uchiha Clan. It should be fitting that aside from Uchiha Madara that the last person from that clan to die would be the one that crippled it," said Naruto knowing that he would have to hunt down Uchiha Madara again after decimating the man in Mist and letting the man escape so he would know there was someone stronger then him hat was higher up on the food chain outside of Kami.
"I'll use my healing creams and my chakra to heal some of his wounds, but I doubt even my skills will allow him to survive long enough into the fight with Sasuke," said Hinata, who had become Naruto's prized medic of his group, and had learned a great deal from the vast knowledge he had acquired for her to learn from.
"Do not worry about that Hinata-chan. I have faith in your skills in keeping him alive just long enough for him to hear Sasuke scream out in pain at least once. How goes our snake Sannin these days? I take it he's not exactly being bold to venture outside of his territory knowing that he'll have to deal with me," said Naruto turning to Yugito, who nodded, and blushed when she saw that look of approval in his eyes that he gave Hinata.
Naruto even called them the "Blushing Sisters" on account there faces got red so much around him that they looked like they were family if their eyes or hair weren't different.
"According to our spy network we took from Jiraiya, we learned that the titled leader of Akatsuki known as Pein if what Kisame told me before he died is true, is meeting with Orochimaru to discuss bringing him back into the organization to fight you, and he is brining his partner named Konan," said Yugito wondering what Naruto was going to do about this.
"This could become an annoyance. We'll interrupt this little meeting, kill those three, and then refocus our efforts back on Konoha before we deal with the remaining members of Akatsuki. Contact Kimimaro and tell him to meet us on the borders of Rice Country so we can all go deal with this together. Knowing Orochimaru, he'll use some Forbidden Jutsus that will become a nuisance to us, and I don't want to have them get an edge over us in any way," said Naruto seeing the Yugito nod before heading off to contact the loyal albino, but gave a fierce look to Hinata, who retuned it, and went so far as to stick her tongue out at the Nibi vessel making the said vessel let out a hiss.
'He's mine!' thought both women glaring at each other before Yugito reluctantly has to retreat to carry out her mission for her Demon Lord.
"The two of you are never going to get over this territorial thing with me are you?" said Naruto having watched their display of something close to a fan-girl stare off.
"Sorry Naruto-kun, it's just that I really do care about you, and when I learned you were the Father of Subaku no Temari's child I thought I lost my chance to be with you. I know Demon Lords don't consider woman they mate with and have their children to be that of illegitimate status, but I do feel that having your child would be an honor in itself for me, and I was hoping that...that...," said Hinata blushing up a storm, as she couldn't believe she was even saying this out loud to him.
Hinata was beginning to wonder if she was in some kind of fantasy dream she normally has during the week.
"That you would be one of the women I chose to give me children," said Naruto finishing her sentence and increasing her blush a thousand times over.
"Would you?" said Hinata her heart beating in her chest and in her mind she was praying to Kami that he would say yes with the possibility of taking her right there on the spot.
Such was the way of her fantasies.
"I would, but the dangers present require that such actions be done after our enemies are destroyed," said Naruto seeing Hinata nod though she was slightly disappointed, but she shrugged it off, and knew when the time was right she would get her chance.
"What about Yugito-san?" said Hinata knowing that in her good nature she had to ask and hoped slightly the woman would get her share of Naruto too.
If only a slightly smaller share.
"I told her the same thing I told you just now Hinata-chan. She will be one of the worthy like you, but she will have to wait a little longer, and I will see to it that it is worthy the weight," said Naruto his eyes holding a hint of mischief in them that made Hinata blush further and made her have a small nose bleed indicating she was having some perverted thoughts...again.
Had Naruto or Hinata been paying close attention they would have realized Yugito was hearing everything that was said between them.
"See kitten. The Hyuuga is not getting any right now either. Just be patient for now and you will be rewarded in the end. Do you really wish for his enemies to go after you or her while with child to get to him?" said Nibi having heard what Yugito did while her vessel went to get Kimimaro.
'No Nibi-chan your right. I should trust in the fact Naruto wouldn't have her before our enemies are killed, but why did he do it with Temari when she was just in greater risk if its discovered the child is Naruto's, and turn down the request by Gaara?' thought Yugito wishing she had been Temari at the moment wishing she had been the one that was caring Naruto's child right now.
"Because Temari has her brother of a Demon Lord protecting her and no one outside of the Subaku family knows that the child is our sexy fox's. So long as no one tells anyone else on their end or us on our end the woman should be safe long after she gives birth," said Nibi though she like Yugito wanted to be Temari right now giving Naruto a whole litter of children to call their own.
'Okay you got me there. I can barely wait in killing off the rest of Akatsuki like we did with Hidan and Kakuzu with the help of Kimimaro. Immortal my sexy kitty ass!' thought Yugito remembering how she barbecued Kakuzu and Kimimaro sliced off Hidan's head using a whip made from his spinal column that while gross was still pretty effective.
Granted Hidan didn't die right away, but a mixture of Naruto's charka combined with the Nibi's later did the trick in breaking the spell Hidan's God Jashin had on him, and they melted the man down into ash.
"My favorite part was you letting me come out to play and tearing through a surprised Kisame like a fish I just ripped out from the lake," said Nibi licking her lips sensually a the thought of tearing into Naruto when the time was right, but her being in pregnancy would effect Yugito as well with unstable flowing of chakra.
The others Nibi would have to wait, but considering how horny she was now at thought of being claimed by Naruto was making things difficult, and wished she could just jump the Demon Lord right now.
'I feel glad knowing I'm not the only one that suffers from not being with Naruto-kun,' thought Yugito, who got a hissed at by Nibi, and blushed when the cat demon retaliated by creating images in her head of them all being together going at it.
"If I suffer I make sure it's way worse then it is for me," said Nibi laughing at Yugito's blushing face with nose bleed and the yelling of the cat demon's name.
Regardless of their increased horniness life was still good.
(Omake-Day Temari Give Birth)
Temari screamed out in pain, as the contractions were hurting more with each second that passed by, and she had broken all five fingers of Kankuro's hand while the said man was pleading for her to let go. Gaara watched amused at Temari hurting their brother and he couldn't help, but wonder when Naruto was going to arrive, and say hi to them all.
"AS LONG AS I HAVE THIS CHILD HURTING ME I'M GOING TO USE THIS TIME TO HURT YOU!" yelled Temari before she screamed out again feeling this baby being difficult to get out and had a renewed respect for her late Mother giving birth to all three of them.
"Did I miss it?" said Naruto wearing his mask when he entered through the window seeing Gaara shake his head no.
"For the love Kami get her hand off mine! She's going to tear it off!" said Kankuro seeing the man that should be the one to have his hand crushed right now and not him.
Seriously, what did the puppet user do in another life to deserve this, and be treated like a door mat?
Ignoring Kankuro's cries for help, Naruto walked over to the other side of the bed, and took hold of Temari's other hand.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE I LET YOU DO THIS TO ME! WHEN I HAVE THE CHANCE I'M GOING TO NEUTER YOU!" yelled Temari while the doctor in charge of this had wisely put ear plugs in so not to be given nightmare of angry pregnant woman.
"Almost their Temari-sama. Just a little more. Push with everything you got!" said the doctor, who was sweating a little when he noticed Gaara was looking at him to make sure the good doc wasn't getting a free show, and the man made a note to have lots of sake' later to give him memory loss.
Temari pushed with everything she had finally removing the child from her womb and collapsed back on the bed panting heavily at the strain freeing both males of their hands.
"My hand! My precious hand! How am I going to masturbate to porn ever again?!" said Kankuro making everyone in the room sweat drop.
'There's one guy who's going to die a virgin,' thought Naruto before going over to the doc holding his boy.
"It's a boy!" said the doctor handing the boy over to Naruto, who walked over to Temari, and gave the child to her to hold.
"He's beautiful. What should we name him?" said Temari looking at the Father, who was deep in thought for a moment, and then looked back at the child that had a few strands of hair that were a mixture of red and yellow.
"How about we call him...Gaara? After his uncle if it's all right with you?" said Naruto looking at the man nodding his head.
"Oh great just what Suna need. Another Gaara running around," said Kankuro, who got blasted by killer intent, and then hit by a giant fistful of sand that sent the man out the window into the Suna hot springs where various Suna Shinobi women were bathing that began beating the crap out of him.
"Hold on were not done here," said the doctor making eyes turn to him.
"Oh my Kami I'm having twins?" said Temari hoping that this time she got a girl.
"No it's not a child. It's a map of the Elemental Countries?" said the doctor looking at the map that showed little red "x" like marks with the words "attack here" in various places.
No one noticed the child narrow its eyes.
(End of Omake)
(A/N: YAY! I updated. How was it? Good I hope. Sorry if I excluded the fighting that Naruto's side did against Itachi's group, but I'm confident you used your imaginations with what I gave you. Until next time...PEACE!!)
