Leaves of Steel, Chapter 23
Hinata's Mindscape
"Kill...Kill them all! Especially the girl! She took YOUR Naruto!..." a voice kept urging Hinata to do this over and over again.
She was standing in her old familiar mind, a very rustic-looking meadow. The sun, a giant floating Naruto head, sent its rays of light all over her mind. Or, at least, that is what WOULD have been happening,if a giant Tenten-moon wasn't causing a solar eclipse, making all the flowers close their pale purple petals.
However, there was still one flower left in bloom. The odd thing was, it was black and red. The even odder thing was that it was easily the size of a house, with a shape on top of it.
"Who are you, and why do you keep telling me to kill everyone?!" the Heiress demanded with a yell.
The shape jumped down into the half-light, revealing it to be a small rabbit, who was grinning madly.
"I, Hyuuga Hinata, am your own little demon. A lot like the Kyuubi you knew once resided in Naruto." the rabbit said, before it ripped of a brown cloak, revealing giant demon wings, hulking claws, red fur, and gleaming black horns, "However, there is one difference between me and the Kyubi. I. Am. Not. Dead."
Hinata was stunned, the Kyubi that once defended Naruto by healing him was gone, and now he could no longer be healed from the people that tried to hurt him.
"Now, Hinata, we BOTH know that NAruto doesn't need to be defended! You saw what he did to the people in the stadium. In fact...You loved EVERY minute of it didn't you? You felt great pleasure at the sight of Naruto run his blade through your teacher's neck, watching it tear from her neck, and roll to the ground, where it was covered by her body. You loved seeing Neji hurled against the wall, and hear the sickening "Thud" that accompanied it! You loved sending a shadow clone to watch Neji DIE in the infirmary. And I know you secretly enjoyed stabbing an ANBU in the spine, as he went to help the others. But even worse, I know what you did AFTER all this happened." the dark rabbit said, watching Hinata blush at each occurrence.
"What...I...did?" the pale girl asked, briefly switching back into the shy persona she once used.
"Yes, what you did. In the Ichiraku Ramen stand, and above the stand, in Ayame's bathroom. The setup had to have taken a while, right? I mean, filling the bathtub with Ramen, and dumping the bodies in? Well, that was AFTER you had cut up both bodies, and toasted the entrails into little spirals. Their name escapes me at the...oh yes, NARUTO. Although, I must admit, you would have made one FINE demon, I might have even drafted you into my legion! You could have been the torture expert. You DID learn from the best, with your lessons with Ibiki Morino, The same teacher that taught Naruto how to use Metal, and the only man who knew of your plan for your beloved." Bounce said again, leaning against the side of the flower, and cutting little spirals and hearts, which dried to a glowing green into its surface with his razor sharp claws.
"My plan...MY PLAN!" the girl yelled, a large smile across her face, and a blush as she listened to her new favorite critter orate her plan to her, even though she knew it, and was fantasizing about it.
"Yes, your plan to sneak up on him, knock him out gently, then take him to the secret room you built underneath your room, sealed from any sound escaping. You would have him tied and strapped down. Then, you would take the only thing he could never get back, while giving him the same, on your part. And you would keep him there, until the ANBU can come and stop you. But of course, you could have any of them killed by that powerful jutsu you developed, the one that gives you COMPLETE control over ANY Hyuuga Branch Member, and can give them the strength of a Kage. Then you would proceed to brainwash Naruto, not changing that glowing personality of his, but changing his goal, from becoming Hokage, to being YOURS!" the demon giggled, before taking on an air of seriousness, "But then...Then..."
He was interrupted by Hinata, who continued the story for him, "THEN THAT WENCH CAME ALONG! THAT BITCH TOOK NARUTO'S FIRST KISS, THEN STOLE HIM FOR HERSELF! SHE RUINED MY PLANS, SO I WILL RUIN HER LIFE TO WREAK VENGEANCE!" she then looked bounce in the eyes, "What can I do to help?" she asked, with a grin on her face, even though tears had been falling.
Akatsuki Mountain: Midnight
Stormbringer, in Naruto's body, ran through a wall, in a way a giant pitcher of a sugary beverage might, if it could move, and not spoil the delicious concoction inside of its GLASS skin. It ran through another stone wall, and finally reached a room, where a pair of giant hands rested. Stormbringer was now the size of Naruto again, finding it to be the most comfortable form.
"Pardon me, but I believe that I am short one ring. Where is Zetsu's?" Stormbringer asked the empty room, before a dark voice was heard behind him.
"My ring is right here, Stormbringer-sama!" a walking plant, devoid of green, spoke, handing it to the God on a tendril.
"Ah, thank you. Zetsu."Stormbringer replied, slipping the ring onto his left hand.
After the plant walked in, so did a skeleton with swirling red eyes, one with a giant fin as a spine, with actual gill-openings on the cheeks, a floating cylinder, and one with teeth in his hands.
A voice rang from the shadows, it was female, "And where is Tobi?" she asked.
"He was not worth the time to use Necromancy on him. I left him for the buzzards. However, before I left, I took the chance to look under his mask. VERY interesting. I saw one Sharingan eye, on the right side, and one empty socket, where a poor medical transplant took place. I feel the need to announce that this "Tobi" of which you speak was none other than the 3rd member of Hatake Kakashi's team, "Uchiha Obito". I also believe, that the duress of you people, combined with the large rock crushing his skull, was responsible for him calling himself a "good boy". So, in essentiality, I killed two Uchiha today, and am waiting for the last one to come to me." as he said this, Stormbringer materialized behind the woman, who raised a gleaming short-sword to defend herself, but was soon killed when a tendril of dark steel went through her temple, "Koton: Headshot" the god said, before slipping the ring, along with her sword, off and out of her hand.
"Huh, she was one of the seven? interesting, well, 3 to go." the god mumbled, as he channeled dark steel through the blade, causing it to exhume thousands of spinning blades around it., "How...nifty..." he muttered, making a holster for the sword on his left arm, and placed it in there.
Each of the other 3 blades emitted an even brighter glow than before, then settled down. Stormbringer rushed towards a giant statue, whose eyes immediatly opened.
"HAHA! You are caught in the sight, Uzumaki Naruto!" a voice called out, as a man, wielding a giant three-bladed scythe, jumped from a finger of the giant hand.
Stormbringer found he couldn't move, and that some latent chakra from Kyubi was being pulled out slowly. He sweat-dropped.
"You call this a trap?" Stormbringer asked, before staring the statue in the mouth, "This, now, THIS IS A TRAP!" the god shouted, before opening his void.
The statue was shattered in an instant, where all of the latent beasts sprung free. They assembled around Hidan angrily, and tore him to shreds with his own scythe. All of the beasts turned around to face Stormbringer.
"Koton: Kyubi form!" he called, and changed size and shape to match that of the great nine-tailed fox, where he then displayed his malevolent chakra, and smirked.
The God of the void held a massive version of his Soul-stealing body in his mouth, and flew, at speeds impossible to track, around the room, slitting the throats of each beast, and removing their heads, killing them.
"All this power..." the god said to himself, as he absorbed their chakra and souls in Naruto-form, "FEELS GOOD!" he yelled, as he shattered the mountain-top, showing the darkened skies.
At that moment, Kakazu and the Leader of the Akatsuki jumped at Stormbringer, and brought their hands together in a seal, "Akatsuki!: COMING DAWN!" they yelled in unison, as the clouds broke, and the clear light, caused by the sun accelerating in movement to the horizon, screwing up the balance of the world, showed clear in the sky.
Kakazu hit the ground as all five of his hearts, necessary for sacrifice, exploded. Stormbringer felt a small presence being pulled from his body, followed by 13 others.
His sword-body was separated in two, as Zabuza's blade pulled itself from it. Yonshu's blade, Kisame's Samehada, and the blue-haired women's short-sword all left his possession, to join the Leader's one gleaming long-sword, which wrapped the light around itself. The four other blades stuck in the ground, and the 9 Biju fused with his body. Finally, a small orange wisp flew into his skull, and pushed the large black one out.
Stormbringer felt lonely, like somebody important had left. Sudden;y, the body of the Leader shrunk, and his clothes took on an orange hue. His blond hair now gleamed. The boy's hand stretched out towards Kakazu, Hidan, and the blue-haired Woman. Their bodies rose once more, only to be joined by the other bodies of the Akatsuki, standing behind Naruto.
All of the members threw off their cloaks, and put on their rings, which unveiled red spirals on their chests.
The blond boy spoke in a proud voice, "Meet the Uzumaki"
