Chapter 17

Exceeding the Limit! Third Form Achieved!

The light finally died down, and the spectators could see the Kyuubi and Drakan glaring at each other, their fangs ready to rip the other to shreds. Drakan landed on all fours on the ground, his glare never leaving Kyuubi. The fox growled angrily as he took a step towards Drakan. "I admit, you are tough," Kyuubi said simply. "But, you are not tough enough." Drakan actually chuckled at that last part as he took his own step towards Kyuubi.

"Me, weak, I think you're mistaken," Drakan laughed. Kyuubi gritted his teeth as he charged towards Drakan. The dragon demon lifted his tail and slashed it out at Kyuubi, who nimbly dodged the attack. One of his nine tails circling around and smacking Drakan across the face, causing the dragon demon to be pushed back aways. "Is that it," Drakan taunted.

"I'm not even close to being through yet," Kyuubi snarled. His tails began to glow, and he sent nine blade like blasts toward Drakan, who was hit by each one, but it didn't stop him from his next attack. Drakan flexed his wings and flew in the air, each wing begining to glow an eerie red color.

"Die!" Drakan roared. His wings shot a devastating blast towards Kyuubi, who was hit square in the body. Everyone heard the fox demon let out a horrible scream as it fell to the ground with a thud. Drakan landed a little bit away from the fallen demon, a grin spreading across his face. "I guess I win." Everyone watched the site and cheered, thinking that Michael had actually one. Drakan turned to the others, and grinned, sweat was now evident on his face. And it was true that the fight did take a lot out of him. Yet no one was aware of what was happening inside the body and mind of the Kyuubi.

Naruto opened his eyes to find himself in a park of some sort, his eyes glancing at each direction, hoping to find something. His eyes then widened he remembered this place, it all became clear to him in no time. His mind began to replay the entire event from this one place, and it was real in his opinion, as he remembered it all.

Flashback

A young Naruto, around the age of 8, was running through the city and was heading to a meeting place. He was going to meet with the other young boy he looked up too. This boy was Michael, and he became a genin at the age of 10. Another few friends of his were the rest of Michael's team, Josette, and Zack, their sensei was Itachi. Who wouldn't be there. A girl a year older than Naruto was also there, her name was Tenten. And a girl one year older than Michael, and Tenten's older sister, Tenra, was there. She was also Michael's first crush, even though they were only children. Naruto entered the park and began to run through it, really anxious to see his friends again, Michael's team just got back from a mission, and he really wanted to see them. Naruto stopped in his tracks when he felt something sharp enter his skin. He let out a terrible scream as he fell to his knees, his hand holding the wound. "What is this?" he whispered. He then looked up to see a gang of people staring at him with glee.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the little monster," one of the people smirked.

"Yeah, he's the demon who killed all those people," a girl added.

"I didn't kill anyone," Naruto whispered, his face filled with tears.

"Liar, and it's now time you pay for your crimes monster," the leader said. He pulled out a knife and walked towards Naruto, a huge grin placed on the leaders face.

"Stay away!" Naruto screamed as he slid backwards across the ground.

"Kill the monster!" the others chanted. Naruto saw the person continue his approach, the knife ready to end the young boys life. And there was nothing he could do. He closed his eyes and waited for the end.

End Flashback

Naruto's eyes widened as he fell to the ground, pain in his entire body. "N-No," Naruto whimpered. "I'm not a monster." He remembered the cold words they said, and they were hurting him now. He looked up slightly, and saw the entire vision appear in front of him. "What the hell," he whispered.

"No one has ever cared for you," a voice said from behind him. Naruto turned slightly, but saw no one.

"Who was that?" Naruto asked no one in particular. He turned back to see his young self get kicked across the ground.

"Come on! Fight me!" the leader coaxed. "I want to have some fun before killing you."

"This can't be," Naruto whispered. "Why is this happening, it feels real."

"Because boy, it is real," the same voice from before said. Naruto turned again, and he saw a figure appear beside him.

"W-Who are you?" Naruto asked.

"I'm here to show you what everyone thinks about you," the voice said simply. Naruto turned back to see his younger self get punched in the face, and then kicked in the gut.

"This isn't right," Naruto whispered. "I remember what happened, I was rescued by my friends Michael, Zack, Josette, Tenten, and Tenra. T-They saved me."

"They were only pretending to be your friend," the figure spoke softly. "This is what they thought of you. They didn't want to help you, because you were a monster. They hated you." Naruto grabbed his head and let out a high pitch scream, his eyes widened.

"N-No, it can't be," Naruto managed.

"I'm sorry kid, but it's the truth," the figure continued. "You are nothing to them. No one liked you, no one loved you. It was all a lie."

"Why?" Naruto asked the figure.

"So they could hurt you, and make it even worse for youself," the figure replied. Naruto lowered his head, tears falling down his cheek.

"I was blind, wasn't I?" Naruto questioned.

"Yes, but you can be free from this pain," the figure continued. "You don't deserve to be like this. You can kill them, kill all those who hated you. Become an avenger, take revenge for your life. Make them suffer."

"You're right," Naruto whispered as he stood up, his face still lowered to the ground. "I should kill them, make them all pay for what they did."

"Yes my boy, feel the anger, feel the power," the figure continued. Naruto lifted up his hands and stared at them, he could feel his chakra returning. He would destroy everything. His eyes suddenly widened as he saw Tenten appear in front of him.

"T-Tenten?" Naruto asked nervously.

"Don't listen to him Naruto, he is lying," Tenten said. "Why would we hate you, when we have fought beside you for so long." Suddenly the others appeared beside Tenten. There was Kiba, Hinata, Lee, Sakura, Shikamaru, the sand sibs, Tsunade, Shizune, a ghostly image of both Tenra and Josette. There was also Choji, Shino, Ino, Neji, and Sasuke farther to the back. The senseis, plus Anko and Iruka were there as well. As well as Jiraiya, who stood beside Tsunade with a grin. And last but not least, Michael stood right beside Tenten, and Josette.

"Tenten's right, we are your friends, remember everything we've been through," Michael said.

"The pain we took away," the ghostly image of Tenra and Josette said at the same time.

"All the exciting things we did," the rookie nine and Gai's team said.

"The things you taught me," Tsunade said.

"For saving our lives from Orochimaru," Shizune smiled.

"For being one of the best ninja, and our friend," the jonin senseis and Anko said in unison.

"For being the best student," Iruka added.

"And for becoming the next great Jiraiya," the toad hermit grinned. Naruto had tears in his eyes, they really did love him.

"Stop it!" the figure behind Naruto roared.

"No, you stop it!" Naruto challenged as he turned to face the figure. "I'll never harm my friends!" Naruto stood straight and determined, his eyes burning with determination. "I'll protect them with my life!"

"Fool!" the figure screamed as he moved towards Naruto. "I'll make you hurt them." A ball began to form in Naruto's hand, and for the first time ever, he didn't need a clone to form the Resangan. He grinned at the figure, his eyes turning red.

"I'll never be controlled!" Naruto screamed in a demonic voice. He took his hand back and pushed forward in a quick motion. "Resangan!" The ball of energy hit the figure, and in an instant, he was evaporated. Naruto stood their panting, his world slowly disappearing. "Thanks," he whispered to his friends.

"No problem, now go, win your match," Tenten said.

"I'll be waiting for you Naruto," Michael said softly. Naruto nodded as the world he was in, disappeared for good. As he was entering the real world again, he could feel a power unlike anything he's felt before.

"More power," Naruto whispered. "I can feel it! Too much power!" Was the last thing Naruto screamed.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Drakan turned slightly when he felt a chakra spike, his eyes widened at what he saw. The Kyuubi was glowing a red color, and it was creeping him out. "What's happening?" Drakan asked shakily. Kyuubi rose up slowly, his eyes burning with determination.

"I'm...not...through...yet," Kyuubi managed as he took a step forward.

"Fool," Drakan muttered in a low growl. "You have reached your limit, you should give up now!" Kyuubi however didn't listen, since he was moving closer to the dragon demon.

"I'll still...win," Kyuubi breathed.

"How? With barely any chakra, I can crush you in a heartbeat," Drakan commented.

"I've received more power, and I'll kill you with it!" Kyuubi roared. He began to glow brighter, and slowly began to change.

"What the hell!" Drakan screamed.

"Spirit Transformation Jutsu! Final Form!" Kyuubi roared. Drakan stared wide eyed at what was happening. A gust of wind shot from the ball of chakra around Kyuubi, and made Drakan almost fly into the air. Good thing he caught himself.

"Damnit! This can't be happening!" Drakan roared as he glared at the Kyuubi as it transformed. There was nothing he could do but wait, and hope he could still win. Naruto has done the impossible. He has pushed himself pass his limit, and even achieved the third form with barely any chakra. It was simply impossible. Drakan gritted his teeth, as he waited for what could be his last fight.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tenten brought her arm to her face to block the gust of wind. "What's happening to Naruto?!" Tenten called over the blowing wind.

"I don't know," Tsunade replied.

"I can feel the chakra level, it's too high," Neji commented.

"And the blood lust is scaring me," Ino added.

"This is ridiculous!" Sasuke called.

"Michael," Shizune whispered as she backed up aways.

"Are you okay Anko?" Kakashi asked the ninja beside him.

"I'm fine," Anko replied with a nod. Jiraiya tried to hold onto Tsunade's waist to keep from flying, but, she pounded him before he got the chance.

"Why me," Jiraiya whimpered as he lay in a pile of broken chairs. Tsunade glanced at him.

"Never try that again!" she screamed at the old man.

"Sorry Tsunade-chan," Jiraiya said. "I just really want to go out with you."

"Why? Just so you can cheat on me with all the hot younger ladies!" Tsunade scoffed.

"I won't," Jiraiya tried again. Tsunade gave a heavy sigh as she looked at the man, and his pleading face.

"Fine," Tsunade finally said. "I'll go on one date with you. After the tournament is over and we return to Konoha." Jiraiya mentally cheered before collapsing into unconsciousness. When the wind finally died down, everyone was breathing much easier. They looked to where Kyuubi once stood, but didn't see any outline of it.

"Naruto-kun..." Tenten whispered. But she couldn't see anything. She began to cry slightly. First her sister was killed a few years ago, and now someone else close to her died.

"Look!" Gaara yelled, successfully breaking the girls thoughts. Everyone looked to see a shadow inside the smoke, smaller than the Kyuubi.

"Is that..." Shikamaru began.

"Yes! It's Naruto!" Kiba and Lee cheered. Sakura and Hinata simply shook their heads at the two.

"How pathetic," the two women whispered in perfect unison. When the smoke cleared, they saw a tall man with a mix of blond and brown hair. He had two fox like ears on his head, and nine tails swaying back and forth from his rear. He also had whisker marks which proved he was Naruto. The man looked up slowly so the crowd could see his eyes, they were pure blue. He turned back to Drakan, and just grinned, he was ready for the next attack.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Who are you?" Drakan asked. The fox like man looked up slightly, his eyes locking with that of the dragon demon's own eyes. A grin spread on the new arrivals face, but, he said nothing. "ANSWER ME DAMNIT!" the dragon demon roared louder than anyone has ever heard.

"The name is..." the man began slowly, his face looking at the ground instead of the dragon demons. "Kyuto!" the man finally announced, his eyes turned red in a heartbeat as he glared at Drakan with hateful eyes.

"Kyuto? What kind of name is that?" Drakan chuckled.

"I'm both Kyuubi and Naruto," Kyuto said simply. "We have merged together as one person for this fight. And as of now, this will be the only time we use this power."

"I see, you are interesting," Drakan grinned. "You won't use all this power afterwards, why is that?"

"After we are done, I'm making sure no one can use this power we have. Which is Gaara, you, and me," Kyuto said.

"What about my friends?" Drakan asked.

"I could sense that your brother had a cursed seal, the power of the fusion of demon and human is lost to them forever," Kyuto explained. "And I think we don't need the power."

"What if we have to fight them and their cursed seal again?" Drakan asked.

"We will beat them with our own power, with our special skills," Kyuto replied.

"Fine, how about we make a bet," Drakan growled as he walked a little to the side and around Kyuto. "If you win, you can take away this power. All the power we have."

"And if you win," Kyuto began. "We will all keep this power."

"Sounds fun. But, I won't lose, cause I need this power to defeat Kyle," Drakan growled angrily.

"You don't need the power of human and demon fusion," Kyuto said with reason. "You haven't even become like me yet."

"Don't worry, I will. And when I do, you will see what power the third form truly holds," Drakan growled.

"Then bring it!" Kyuto challenged as he ran towards Drakan at full speed. Drakan opened his mouth, and a red glow was forming.

"Dragon Flame!" Drakan commanded. A giant burst of flame shot towards Kyuto, who dodged it like it was nothing.

"Here we go," Kyuto breathed. "Nine Tails of Death!" The nine tails on Kyuto's body began to glow as he charged through Drakan a total of nine times. Drakan coughed up blood, his body began to sag.

"Damn, that hurt," Drakan breathed as he fell to the ground with a thud.

"You're almost out of chakra since you were in that form longer than me," Kyuto told the fallen dragon demon. "Just give up."

"N-Never, I'll never...quit," Drakan moaned, his eyes beginning to close.

"Fine, then I'll just have to put you down for the count," Kyuto sighed. He jumped into the air and did a few hand seals before facing Drakan. "Fox Style! Spirit Blaze Jutsu!" A giant ball of white chakra fire shot towards Drakan, and engulfed him. Everyone could hear the dragon demon as it cried. They expected the worst for the dragon demon as Kyuto landed a few inches from the smoke. "I warned him," the man mumbled. He bowed his head in respect, thinking that he had won the battle, finally.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Michael opened his eyes, finding himself on top of a mountain. He looked down the steep part, his eyes glancing behind him, finding a sea of trees below him. "I-I know this place," he whispered. He thought back, to the very moment that occurred here.

Flashback

A young 11 year old Michael cheered excitedly, his team, and their backup, completed their first true S-Rank mission. "We did it!" Michael cheered wildly.

"You did good," Josette smiled at the enthusiastic boy. "When we get back you want to celebrate?"

"Huh? Yeah, I can invite Tenra-chan," Michael smiled.

"I meant just me and you," Josette grumbled, her eyes on the ground.

"Josette-chan?" Michael asked, not quite getting her mood change.

"You're so dense Michael-kun," Justine sighed. "You need to learn more about girls." Michael glanced at his other female friend, with confusion.

"What did I do?" Michael asked her.

"Figure it out your self," Justine said.

"Yeah, need to learn this stuff," Joel commented.

"For once, I agree with the two knuckleheads," Zack finally said.

"Hey!" Justine and Joel shouted in unison.

"Hey is for horses," Chris joked.

"Not funny hunchback," Joel mumbled. The others laughed at slightly at this, it was good to let loose once in a while. Michael turned his head slightly when he heard a sound coming towards them.

"Do you here that?" Michael asked.

"Yes, I hear it," Joel nodded. The group watched the mountain, and in an instant two ninja jumped into the clearing. One had his face covered by a black mask, and he wore a cape on his back. His hands wore black gloves with grey lining. The other was a pale man with long hair, and yellow eyes, Michael recognized him.

"Orochimaru-sama," Zack bowed.

"Zack, what are you doing? That's Orochimaru, enemy of the village," Michael asked nervously.

"Yes, and he is our master," Zack replied as he walked up to the snake sannin.

"I applaud you all for a job well done," Orochimaru grinned. As Zack passed Michael, the young boy saw a cursed seal on his friends shoulder.

"Z-Zack, you're on his side," Michael said nervously.

"Yes, and you can join as well," Zack said as he turned his attention to Michael. Chris nodded and walked towards the other ninja, a curse seal visible on his neck.

"Chris, you too?" Michael asked as he took a step back.

"Yes, I'm with Orochimaru-sama," Chris replied as he stood beside Orochimaru.

"Why don't you join us?" Joel asked as he walked towards Orochimaru, Justine right behind him.

"What?! I would never betray the village!" Michael snarled.

"You won't even do it for me?" Josette asked, tears in her eyes.

"J-Josette-chan, you too?" Michael asked the girl.

"Yes, I did it for you though," Josette answered. She moved her shirt a little, revealing the curse seal on the side of her neck.

"Me?" Michael asked.

"Yes, I thought that if I was stronger than Tenra, you might love me instead," Josette admitted. She then bent forward, her lips pressing against Michaels. After a while Josette pulled back from the kiss.

"I-I never knew Josette-chan," Michael whispered.

"Now you do," Josette said simply. "Will you join us?"

"You might love me, but I will never betray the village, even for love," Michael told them all.

"Then Michael-kun, you should die," Orochimaru chuckled. "Ready guys?"

"Stop! I'll do it," Josette whispered as she stood in front of Michael.

"Why Josette-chan?" Michael asked shakily.

"I'm sorry Michael, I really do love you," Josette groaned as she did a few hand seals.

"If you do, then don't do this," Michael cried.

"Sorry, now die," Josette said as she finished the hand seals. "Water Style! Water Spike Jutsu!" A spike made out of water shot towards Michael, out of Joestte's left hand. The spike hit Michael in the right part of his chest, making the boys eyes widen in shock. "So long, Michael-kun," Josette mumbled as she turned from the scene and walked slowly down the mountain.

"You did well," the masked man said as he placed a hand on the girls shoulder, catching a glimpse of tears in the process.

"I can't believe I did that," Josette cried.

"You did what you had to do," the boy nodded.

"I don't care Kyle-sama, I still loved him!" Josette snapped.

"Forget about him," Kyle soothed.

"I would never," Josette spat. With that she ran down the mountain.

"Poor girl," Kyle smiled.

"Don't worry about her," Orochimaru chuckled. "We need to head back to our village, you guys have a lot of work to do."

"Hai!" the group saluted, and together, they ran towards the village of sound, leaving what was left of Michael.

End of Flashback

Michael fell onto his knees, tears in his eyes. "Why? Why am I seeing this?" he sobbed. He felt something and he looked up, he saw the entire vision of what happened earlier, and the dreaded spike to the chest he received. "Why did they betray me? Why?"

"Because, they hated you," a voice spoke calmly. "They didn't see you as being something that existed."

"Why?" Michael asked as he glanced at a robed man.

"They hated you. They didn't like you, since you never saw their ideals," the man said. "Josette never loved you like you thought, she wanted to kill you. Same goes for Shizune and Tenra."

"This can't be," Michael cried silently.

"It is," the man nodded. "Now, what do you want?"

"I don't want to ba alone any more," Michael sobbed. "I don't want to feel the pain of betrayal again."

"Then, let it go, let go of the pain," the man spoke softly. "Take revenge on them, kill them all. And all the ones that hated you." Michael stood up slowly, his chakra returning to his body.

"I feel stronger," Michael said as he looked at his hand. "I'll kill them, I'll kill them all."

"Stop Michael!" a voice shouted from somewhere around him. When Michael looked, he saw a few ghostly images appear. One was Naruto, standing beside Tenra and Shizune. The others were Josette, Zack, Joel, Chris, and Justine, before they betrayed him.

"Don't do this Michael," Zack said.

"I don't want you to become something your not Michael-kun," Josette spoke softly.

"We might have betrayed you, but, we are still friends," Joel said.

"Yes, we have never forgotten you," Chris nodded.

"Michael-kun, you can't let him ruin you like this," Justine said.

"You have to move on, you have to forget what happened to me, to us," Tenra nodded.

"Come back to me Michael-kun, I love you," Shizune whispered.

"Don't listen to anything anyone says, you are strong, stronger than you know," Naruto smiled at the man. "Now, let's get back to the tournament and finish this match!"

"I won't let you guys interfere!" the man roared as he charged at the people before Michael.

"Not a chance," Michael whispered as a ball of fire formed in his hand. "Take this! My own version of the attack Naruto taught me! Burning Resangan!" Michael took his hand back and shoved the ball of fire into the man's body, killing him instantly. "That's that."

"Yes, now, let's finish our match," Naruto grinned. "I'll be waiting for you."

"Thank you everyone, thanks for showing me the way. For not letting me fall into the darkness," Michael said to the people in front of him.

"No problem!" they all exclaimed in unison, making Michael smile at them. His world suddenly disappeared and he could feel himself returning to reality, and his chakra was going from empty to full power. His limit had been achieved, and even exceeded. And now, it was time to take down Naruto.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Drakan opened his eyes and slowly stood up, his eyes finding Kyuto as he was walking away. "Not so fast," Drakan breathed. Kyuto stopped dead in his tracks, and turned around to gaze at the dragon demon.

"So, you're still alive," Kyuto said.

"Yes, and I'm going to defeat you," Drakan said as he took a step towards Kyuto. But, the line the dragon demon said earlier, made Kyuto bust out in laughter.

"You defeat me, you're out of chakra. You can't possibly defeat me," Kyuto laughed.

"I'm not about to lose to you. Never!" Drakan roared as his body began to change. "Time for the final stage! Fire Transformation!" A dome of fire surrounded Drakan, and Kyuto watched passively.

'So, he really wants to do this. Then, I shouldn't disappoint him,' Kyuto thought to himself with a grin. The dome of fire slowly died down, to reveal a tall man, with red hair. He had dragon wings on his back, and dragon eyes. His hands were now claws, and he also had fangs. The new comer looked up slightly, his red eyes locking with the red eyes of Kyuto.

"I've finally done it," the man breathed deeply. "I'm so happy."

"Who are you?" Kyuto grumbled.

"I'm Drakael," the man said simply as he got into a fighting stance. "Now, shall we end this?"

"Let's!" Kyuto smiled. He took his own fighting stance. Everyone watched with wonder, this match was getting better and better, and now, they had no clue who would win. The two ninjas pushed off the ground, and ran full speed towards the other. Their fists met the other in a devastating attack. A giant wind kicked up from where they punched the other. The true match, had finally begun.

To be continued...
