Last time
Slowly walking up to him, Naruto slowly raised his sword so that the tip was level with his heart. "Good by Sasuke Uchiha, the world will not miss you."
Pulling his sword back preparing to send the young Uchiha to oblivion, Naruto pivots on his feet and plants his foot in the chin of the pink haired girl trying to sneak up on him. "Oh, and what do we have here?" turning to Sasuke "I take it that this belongs to you?" turning back to the girl with the oddest hair colour he had come across yet. "Well, seeing as how you must be desperate to die, I suppose that I can make time to kill you." He said tilting his head to the side. And with that he shushined behind Sakura and delivered a brutal kick to her spine.
"Now, now, surely there's more to you than that. Come on I'll even give you a free shot." And with that he simply spread his arms out and laid his chest bare.
'Cha this guys an idiot, who gives an enemy a free shot!?' inner Sakura yelled. With her inner self chanting her on Sakura gathered all her courage and charged the blond kunai in hand. Finally reaching her target she let loose a primal scream and slashed the man who dared hurt her Sasuke-kun. Letting a small Lough escape her lips she quickly turned to her Sasuke and started to run to him to see if he was ok. 'As if this loser could ever hurt Sasuke' were the thoughts running through her head. However her thoughts were soon cut off by a manic laugh coming from behind her. Slowly turning around she saw that the blond was still standing with only the faintest line of blood to show that she had hit him at all
"I give you a free shot and that's all you do" Naruto gasped out between laughs. "Kami above what's wrong with you, do you really want to die so badly that you would take a single slash at me and then simply turn your back on me. What the hell kind of ninja are you? Now get over here and fight me dam it!" he yelled out to the frightened genin. Noticing that she was not making any move to come at him he simply sighed and disappeared from view only to appear behind her. "You know you're not making this much fun." He whispered into her ear. And with that he grabbed her arm spines her around so that they were face to face. He delivered a kick to her right knee sending her sprawling to the ground. However before she could land Naruto delivered a knee to her chin sending her flying backward onto her back.
She barely had time to register what happened when she felt the blond sitting on top of her pining her to the ground. Slowly she opened her eyes to come face to face with the masked Nin. "Ah there it is, I can see it now. "He said with a bit of mirth in his voice. "Yes, yes I see it know. I can see what you are now, I can see your fear, hell I can taste it. Yes you've built yourself a wonderful mask haven't you? Hell you've probably forgotten you wearing one anymore. Yes all that confidence, that brash personality, oh it must of taken years to get it to where it is now. But you can't fool me. I see what you really are. You, my pink haired friend are a scared little girl, yes a little girl lost in a much larger world." At this point he switches to an almost sad tone. "You're scared, you're frightened, you're sad, and above all you lonely. Yes truly you are a lost little girl desperate to find someone any one just so you don't have to be alone anymore."
At this point Sakura was already in tears. Old emotions coming back full force, all the name calling, all the days simply sitting in the park alone wishing she had someone to play with, to talk to even just to sit with.
"You see now don't you, how truly alone you are? Sadly I fear that you will always be alone, yes you will always be that lonely little girl." And with this his voice filled with mirth and joy. "But fear not, my heart, my soul its self screams to me to free you, free you from this lonely and cold world." With this he reached into a pocket and pulled out a kunai and placed it over her heart. "When I plunge this blade into your heart you shall be free, free from pain, free from sadness, free from this lonely world."
Sakura couldn't do anything all the years of pent up emotions had caused her to retreat inside herself reliving all the days she had sat alone in the park crying to herself, lost and confused she did the only thing she could she simply curled into a ball and continued to cry.
"Good bye pinkie, die well, knowing this is probable for the best, to live alone is truly a miserable thing." And with this last Farwell Naruto lifted the kunai high into the air only to find himself forced to doge a number of inky creatures lunging at him. "By the gods can't a man kill in peace around here!?" Turning his back to a sobbing Sakura, Naruto retrieved his sword and pointed it at a tree at the edge of the grounds. "Come down here dam it so I can kill you." At this a boy that looked eerily similar to the Uchiha he had just fought jumped down in front of him. "Hello nin-san I'm afraid that I can't allow you to harm my teammates further, so I must ask you to leave now." Naruto just stared at him dumb struck, here he was one of the most feared men the in the world and this punk basically just told him to fuck off (this Naruto, as a rule, takes most things as either an insult or a challenge) all with that stupid smile on his face. If not for the mask sei would have noticed the dangerous tick forming above Naruto's eye. 'Oh he's dead' was the thought running thru his mind at this time.
Faster than most would think humanly possible Naruto punched the smirking basted in front of him in the face sending him flying. However unlike the two genin before this one recovered mid air a landed on his feet even if a little shaky. After wiping some of the blood from his mouth he simply brought out a kunai and got into a defensive stance and waited for the masked Nin to charge. Naruto grinned he could already tell that this was no mere genin. 'Finally some one who's not a complete pushover' Naruto cheered in his mind. Raising his sword into an aggressive stance Naruto charged head first. What followed was a long string of metallic clangs as the steel of Naruto's sword was expertly parried by the kunai in sai's hand.
Unfortunately sie was at the disadvantage in this fight. the masked nin's sword give him grater reach keeping him well out of range of his kunai, not to mention the blond was obviously an expert swordsman, where as he was primarily a long range fighter. If he couldn't get some distance from his opponent and soon he was a goner.
Naruto could tell that his opponent was out of his element, his moves were to sloppy for some one of this guys level, 'and who in their right mind fights a guy with a seven foot sword with a kunai.' Deciding that he had had his fun Naruto decided to end the fight. "Your strong I'll give you that," as Naruto says he brings his sword to rests on his offhand pointing toward the sai. "But why do you fight?" and with that he charged his opponent thrusting his sword forward to impale the emotionless Nin in front of him. Even with all his training sai still found himself unable to completely doge the attack. With a quick jab Naruto found his sword sheathed in the abdomen of the teen in front of him. Tightening his grip on the handle of his sword he slowly walked forward until his sword was burred all the way up to the handle
"Why do you fight?" he asked again. "You have no passion, no anger, no fear, and no nothing. You have no reason to fight; hell you have no reason to live. So I ask you, why do you fight?" sai could a ready fell his strength leaving him, he may of avoided a lethal hit but the blood loss was starting to get to him. "Orders are orders." He choked out delivering telling the truth was the best answer. "Orders are orders," Naruto repeated, letting out a soft laugh. "Is that all, your entire reason to exist is to follow orders. No you hide it well, even from yourself, hell even from me. But I can see it deep inside your hart" with that Naruto pulled his sword out cleanly and turned his back to sai. "You want to prove yourself to someone, yourself perhaps, but that's what drives you. Accept that and grow stronger and prove yourself." With that Naruto turned his head giving sai a sideways glance "and on that die we'll fish this fight and see whose drive is stronger." With that Naruto sheathed his sword and started to walkway. Just as he passed Sasuke, who was still leaning against the tree Naruto had him pined to earlier, he turned his head. "Remember this well Uchiha, this is but a stay of execution, you're not pardoned yet." And with that he turned and strolled off toward the city hoping Haku had found there place, all that excitement had left him feeling drained.

"Yo" kakashi said with his usual eye smile "sorry I'm late but you see I was attacked by crazed squirrels on the way here and I took some time to lose them." It was at this point that kakashi knew something was wrong, with an excuse like that he knew Sakura would be yelling at him, hell he should have even got an 'hn' out of Sasuke.
Opening his eye he was greeted by the scene of his decimated genin team, Sakura was on the ground silent tears still running down her cheeks simply lying on her back staring lifelessly up at the darkening sky. Then there was Sasuke although a little bruised seemed to be fine at first glance though his eyes seemed almost as lifeless as sakuras and he kept muttering about monsters and demons. Lastly there was sie who seemed to be in the worst shape physically although at least seemed to more lucid then the other two. Quickly deciding that sai was the most in need of help at the moment he rushed over to where the boy had propped himself against a tree. Quickly assessing the boy wounds kakashi decided that he was in not in any immediate danger though he could use a blood pill. Quickly pulling out a small jar of pills he popped one into his student mouth. After a moment the colour started to return to his face (not that there was that much colour there to begin with). "Sai report, what happened here?" kakashi asked in a soft yet urgent tone. Blinking a few times trying to sort everything that had happened since they ran into the masked blond. "It would seem that Sasuke picked a fight with the wrong person this time." And with that he told him everything that had happened, after word kakashi decided it would be best to get his student to a hospital before reporting this to the Hokage.

He should have known something like this was going to happen. Sarutobi was currently looking at the medical files for team seven. Sasuke seemed to get off easy compared to his teammates just a few bruises and cuts, though he seemed a little off, even now he was still muttering about monsters though the doctors assured him that he would snap out of it in a day or two. Sakura on the other hand well physically she was fine, just a few bruises, mentally she was about as stable as a one legged chair. She just lied in bead and cried silently refusing to talk or eat or even move. Lastly sai who was the most hurt with a sword wound going straight through his abandon.
Letting out a sigh Sarutobi contemplated just what he was going to do with this 'Vergil'. Deciding that it would probably be best to get him out of the village for a while, at least while team seven recovered. Now the question was where to send them, there wasn't anything on the mission roster his close to the exams. Wait that's it may only be a C class mission but it would keep them out of the village almost up to the exams, the only problem was that he would still need to send some of his own shinobi to act as the villages official prresens on the mission. 'Maybe one of the genin teams, so long as vergal doesn't kill them it would be good experience now the only question is who?"
Heheh ... sorry about the wait time but I'm an inspirational writer, and inspiration was hard to come by I guess.
Any way I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I know the ending was a bit unrealistic but it's my fan fiction and I think it will be fun to watch him terrorize another genin team.
Till next time, read and review.
