A/N- Whoa, such a positive response to the last chapter! There was one single person who was disastsfied with the name in which I gave Naruto's shikai, which is Ensis Exequens (which, translated from Latin means 'Sword of the Executioner' (which, by the way, kudos to apillow, who was able to correctly identify where I first got it from. It was a high-level spell used by the Dark Evangel, Evangeline A.K. McDowell, from Negima. And all the more impressve since the technique was used only once!))

However, back to the matter at hand. another reader, HolyKnight5, felt that using a Latin name is going over bounds, since all Zanpakto either have Japanese or Spanish names (of which, I was promptly defended by Ryuuki Kisaki for my right to write my story however I like, which I thank her for that). Knight-san and I had a fairly lengthy discussion abut the name, and I made an agreement with him. I will let you, the readers, choose which name you like better. On the one hand, there is the name that I gave it, which is in Latin, a root language of Spanish, and then there is the Japanese translation which he graciously supplied upn my request, so I shall leave it to you, the other readers, to decide which name appeals to you more;

Ensis Exequens- Latin translation for 'Sword of the Executioner'

Chigatana Keiriku- Japanese translation for 'The Punishment of the Bloody Sword', or 'The Bloody Sword's Penalty' (Which can also be interpreted as 'Sword of the Executoner')

Your vote counts!

Anyway, two quick explanations aout Naruto's dojutsu and shikai so far-

It actually took me quite a while to come up with the design for Ensis Exequens. It took me a while to come up with something that would, while sticking to the spirit of the concept behind the zanpakto, at the same time be an original concept. I'd actually gotten the design from a mixture of different media, and I got the idea for the abilities from the name. If you'll notice, while their deaths had been quick, the demons had just enough time to dread their impending deaths, such as in an execution. (P and besides, who doesn't think an unpredictable speed-demon Naruto is cool?)

Naruto's dojutsu is another thing that I wanted to be unique, and coming up with it took almost twice as long as Ensis Exequens did! As with the sword, I took the initial idea for Naruto's dojutsu from other media and blended them together. What I was describing in the last chapter that Naruto was seeing was the aura, or life force if you will, of all living things around him. This includes the chakra from the ninja and the evil ki from the demons. You saw part of what it allowed Naruto to see in the last chapter, when he saw the lust in the one demon's aura, and in this chapter, you'll see even more in this chapter! If you think it's a it too much, tell me, and I may listen what ya say, or I could tell ya to go flush it, dependng on how ya tell me. Eiterway, I hope you all enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter 7, The Fight for Konoha, part 2- Savior

Yumi Misawa, chunin of Konoha, had always been a determined girl. She was 17 years old, stood at a reasonable five and a half feet, with long, fire-red hair and pering sea-green eyes, not to mention a decently toned figure that she kept from going overboard into muscular. She came from a well to do clan and wanted to become a respectable ninja like her grandfather, who had died heroicly fighting in the thrd great war. After she became respected and had saved a nice nest egg from her missions, she wanted to find a nice man, but one who was incredibly strong, and settle down with him, taking her family name. They would have three children, all who would carry her family name and become powerful ninja as well. Then, after a long and fufilling life, she would die happily, knowing that her family name was secure. Yes, Yuri was a determined girl who had always worked towards those goals, but now thigs were looking incredibly bleak as she found her beloved home being overrun by demons that had been set upon them by the Akatsuki, a shadow group that she'd known nothing about before today, when they'd come to Konoha and stolen the life of a boy, Naruto Uzumaki, using a weird statue, and then used the same giant statue to bring the terrors that she and her fellow nin were now fighting against. She couldn't understand how the Uzumaki boy's life had been so important, but her parents had always told her to stay away from him, that he was bad, so she'd obeyed, een though they would never tell her why, no matter how many times she'd asked after seeing the profoundly lonely look in the boy's eyes just one time. Now, however, was not the time to be wondering suh things as she ducked under the claws of a demon and rammed a kunai up through it's jaw, peircing it's brain.

It had already been over four hours since the battle had begun. Yumi, who had been a part of a six-man chunin squad, found herself alone as she and her teammeates had been seperated over half an hour earlier by a large group of demons. Yuri was in trouble and she knew it, being close to ground zero where the demons had come from and far from any possible support. Even the group that the Hokage had been a part of was too far for her to get to, being seperated from them by over a hundred demons. Grimly, the young woman decided to take as many enemies with her as she could, even if it cost her her life, if it meant that Konoha stood a chance. Using every skill that she had at her disposal, Yumi snuck through the shadows beside a squat resteurant that sat by one of Konoha's more predominant hotels. Seeing a group of three demons standing close by, all three holding rusted katanas as they talked in a language that she couldn't understand. Reaching into her pouch, Yuri silently brought out another kunai...

The demons, lesser goblins all of them, stood talking among themselves as they were on look-out. Suddenly, one of them dropped dead, a kunai sticking from the back of hs neck. The other two whirled around, catching a flash of navy-blue. Screeching in anger, the two goblins rattled their swords and charged into the alley after the impudent mortal, only to stop and blink in confusion when all they saw were a few trashcans, never noticing the twin glints that settled around their necks...

Yumi grinned, almost feeling bad for how easy this was. Gripping the leather that covered her hands, Yumi leapt down behind the goblins, jerking downwards with all of her might. The wire, which ran up and over a metal pipe that she'd been standing on, briefly went taut before going slack again, the demons heads rolling from their shoulders as their lifeless bodies fell forward. Wrapping the wire back up with a quick snap, Yumi stuffed it away and darted back towards the corner of the building, peering out in search for more enemies.

"My my my, what is it we have here? Hullo sweet cakes, how 'bout you and me get together and I make ya scream?" A dark voice chuckled from just behind her, causing Yumi's eyes to go wide as she leapt forward, spinning around as she flung some shuriken, only to hae them batted away almost carelessly by a shadowed figure in the alley.

Yumi's eyes narrowed a she reached into her pouch for her wire. "And how did you manage to get behind me wthout me sensing you?" She asked, leting a loose length of the wire fall between her hands, giving her leeway to make handsigns if needed.

The demon let out a harsh bark of laughter as it stepped from the shadows. It was a large creature, probably seven feet tall and thickly muscled, wearing only black pants and carrying a large, dented mace. It was green, covered in scales, and it's eyes burned with an unholy fervor. "You ninja arn't the only ones with the ability to set traps and hide, and you fell right into my trap when you killed those whelps. Now, whadda ya say girlie? We gonna have fun or what?" He grinned, spreading his arms out wide, going as far as to lean his mace against the side of the building!

"You better not underestimate me!" Yumi screamed, rushing the demon, throwing the wire in a wide loop.

"Same goes for you girlie." The demon said, suddenly appearing beside the young chunin, swinging a vicious haymaker that connected... and splintered a log into hundreds of peices.

"Such... Such speed! I don't know if I cam keep up..." Yumi thought from atop the single-story resteurant, fear creeping into her heart. No sooner had the thoughts passed through her head when all of a sudden Yumi found herself blying forward, crying out in pain from the kick the demon had just delivered to her back. Ducking into a roll, Yumi came up into a crouch as she jerked hard on her wire, which she'd managed to wrap around his foot when she'd been kicked. It was much to her surprize though, when she jerked as hard as she could, only for nothing to happen.

The demon laughed his terrible laugh, seeing the surprize on Yumi's face. "It really is too bad you got me as an opponent sweet cheeks, my skin's too thick to be cut by wire!" He exlaimed, rushing forward and delivering a brutal knee-shot, only to have the girl block it with her arms, staggering the girl with the force of the blow. Not letting up, the demon let loose a devestating left, catching Yumi across the face and splattering her nose, spraying blood everywhere een as the demon lashed out with another hit, staggering the girl.

Shaking her head, Yumi suddenly found her arm in a vce-like grip. Looking up wth fearful eyes, she saw the demon grin as he twisted, snapping the poor girl's arm before clouting her across the jaw, cutting off the scream that was welling up in her throat. Grabbing Yumi by the back of her head, the demon clubbed her n the stomach efore bending her over the side of the building they were on top of. "Whu-what are yuh-you gonna do...?" Yumi asked groggily, her words slurring even as sh screamed in het mind, trying to force her body to move.

The demon laughed. "You and me? We're gonna have some fun sugar!" He exlaimed, and it clicked in Yumi's mind, sending a chill of terror down her spine and freezing her heart, he was about to do the most horrible thing that could happen to any woman! She tried to struggle, earning another clout as the demon reached down, grabbing the waistand of her shorts and giving a sharp yank, pulling them down the terrified girl's legs. "You've got some nice buns sweet cheeks!" The demon howled with laughter, looking down at the girl's bare rear, violating her with his gruesome touch as he tried to probe the recess between Yumi's legs with his free hand, though she squeezed her legs together as tightly as she could, trying to keep him away. "Now... make me feel good." He whispered in her ear, grabbing his pants and beginning to loosen them.

Yumi, having regained some of her breath, let out a terrified scream, closing her eyes as she tried to prepare for the worst, only to hear an odd whistling sound, and suddenly, she felt the demon's grip on her body disappear. Cracking her eyes open, Yumi turned her head, shaking with the fear that this was another way for the demon to make her even more afraid, only for them to widen in shock as she saw the demon, impaled on the building wall next to her y a massive blade, drove through it almost up to the hilt. Her head snapping back around, Yumi saw Naruto standing a distance away, his stance saying that he'd been the one to save her. Falling to her knees, crying tears of joy, not even questioning how the boy who she herself had seen die only hours before had rescued her. Sniffling, Yumi straightened up, pulling her shorts back up as she looked down at the boy again, seeing a surprized look on his face as Hinata Hyuuga ran from him, blushing. Seeing the mutilated bodies of the demons behind the boy, Yumi gasped in surprize, noting that all of the demons had been hacked apart by a giant blade.

Yumi looked backat Naruto, something akin to hero-worship in her eyes.

--

Hearing a grunt and a large thud, Naruto snapped from the daze that Hinata's kiss had put him into and looked up to where he'd thrown his sword, only to see that it'd been pulled out, the girl that he'd saved on her knees as she panted. Wondering what was going on and where his sword was, Naruto rushed over towards the building, running up it's wall, reaching the roof quickly. "Hey! Are you alright?" He asked the bloodied girl, seeing her trying to pick up hs sword, which was laying on the roof, cracks spidering out around it.

"Oh, Naruto-sama!" Yumi exlaimed, jumping to her feet and dusting herself off. "Thank you for saving me!" She bowed deeply.

Naruto scratched the back of his head, wondering why the girl had called him by such a formal title. "Eh, it's really not a problem, us leaf ninja have gotta watch out for each other!" He replied, grinning at her. "SO, are you alright? What's your name?" He asked, bending over and picking his claymore up, resting it casually across his right shoulder.

Yumi had to resist the urge to squeal, he wanted to know her name! "AH... I-I'm alright s-sir, thanks tuh-to you." She stuttered, blushing. "An... And my name is... Yumi Misawa..." She bowed her head again.

Naruto grinned. "Well, I'm glad your alright Yumi! That demon looked like he was about to do a number on ya, so I had to act quickly!" He replied. "And hey, ya don't have to call me 'sama' this or 'sir' that, ust plain ol' Naruto will do, ok?" He asked.

Yumi bowed again. "Thank you, Naruto-kun..." She replied demurely, looking up, her green eyes meetng his slitted silver ones, causng the girl to gasp in surprze. "Yuh-you have a do-dojutsu?!" She was shocked. No one had ever mentioned there being THREE dojutsus of Konoha!

"Really?! Is that why eveything looks so weird?!" Naruto asked in shock, a wide grin spreading across his face a few seconds later. "YATTA! I've got a dojutsu! Eat all of that you smug bastards!" He yelled.

Yumi giggled. "You mean you didn't even know? And how are you still alive? I thought I saw that weird statue pull out all of your chakra, so how?" She asked.

Naruto laughed sheepishly. "Well heh, I guess I just got lucky and was only knocked out!" He exlaimed, already knowing it was a lame exuse, and from the look on Yumi's face that she didn't elieve it either.

Yumi smiled, even though it hurt because of the beating she'd taken. "Sure Naruto-kun, whatever you say." She laughed lightly at the look on his face.

Naruto squinted his eyes as he grinned, rubbing the back of his head again. "Eh, I can tell your not buying it, so after we get everything straightened out, I'll tell ya something much more believable!" He exlaimed, setting one foot on the edge of the roof. "Anyway, I've got to save everyone, and you look like you need a medic, so later!" He called out, leaping off of the roof.

Running, Yumi leaned over just as Naruto landed. "Naruto-kun, how about you tell me over lunch?!" She called out.

Not really paying attention to what the girl had said, Naruto his hand as he ran off.

Yumi grinned as she slid down the wall. She'd been terrified, almost brutally raped and killed, but she'd been saved by Naruto! Sure, he seemed dense, but that was easily overlooked by hs strength, his apparent bloodline, those beautiful silver eyes... those hot looks... Right there, Yumi decided; Naruto Uzumaki was the only man for her, and she'd have him no matter what!

--

Naruto ran, looking for more enemies to fight when he saw three familiar figures, fighting off a large group of demons, with many more laying dead at their feet. "Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji! Hold on guys, I'm coming!" He yelled, dashing towards the trio. Leaping over them, Naruto landed between the three and a pair of demons that had been rushing them, twisting as he brought his sword around in a wide arc, slicing both demons in half at the waist as he finished off facing the three that he saved. Looking up, Naruto's eyes widened comically as he pointed. "Hey! You guys are older, and Ino, you've turned into a guy!!" He exlaimed, pointing at his friend's fathers who all looked the worse for wear, covered in gashes and bruises.

Shikaku grumbled. "Yeah yeah kid, enough with the slapstick already, we've got more important things to worry about!" He replied, throwing some kunai over Naruto's shoulder, burying them in the heads of two other demons. He was grateful for the brat showing up because he, Chouza, and Inoichi were all running on their last legs and dealing with near cases of chakra exhaustion, but...

"How in the hell are you still alive boy? I could have sworn when those guys took the Kyuubi from you, you died!" Chouza blurted out, holding his side, which had a deep gash running along it, asking the very question that was on his teammates minds.

Naruto chuckled, scratching the back of his head. "Uhhh... I really don't know if I should talk about that until I've talked to Granny Tsunade." He replied.

Shikaku nodded, understanding. "Alright, but what are we gonna do about those troublesome huys behind you? Your just a genin, we're all exhausted, and there's still ten of those bastards right behind you! What a drag..." He sighed, about to grab some more kunai, only for Naruto to hold a hand up, stopping the man.

Naruto grinned. "Don't worry aout it old man! I'll take care of those demons easily, just watch!" He exlaimed, whirling around as he gripped his sword in both hands.

"Like fun you will! DIE BOY!" One of the demons screamed as they all rushed the foolish blond, angry that they'd been ignored. One led the attack, jumping at Naruto with one arm extended, aiming at the boy's heart, intening to tear right through him.

Naruto blinked, watching the energy coming from the demons, seeing the energy of the one demon that leapt at him surge into it's arm, practically screaming it's intentions to Naruto as the energy extended towards him. Calmly stepping forward and to the side, Naruto let the demon's attack pass harmlessly by as he brought his claymore around, slicing the beast in half. Looking around, he read the movements of the other demons as they encircled him, dodging all of their attaks with apparent ease. Naruto countered whenever an opening presented itself, killing a demon with each stroke. In short order, the battle was over, Naruto standing in the center of a circle of his dead enemies, covered in small splatters of their blood, but none of his own. "How was that?" He asked, grinning at the three shocked men before him as he gave a victory sign.

Shikaku chuckled a little. "Alright brat, that was damned impressive, ut you;ve still got a ways to go, we've each got over twenty kills under our belts." He replied.

Naruto laughed. "Then you guys are the ones with a ways to go, because I've already killed over one hundred and thirty! But you guys look like you need to go see a medic, and I've gotta go save our town. Later old dudes!" He called out, running off.

"HEY! I'M NOT OLD DAMMIT!" Inoichi yelled at the retreating figure as both of his companions guffawed. Grumling, Inoichi grabbed Chouza's arm to help support the large man, and all three of them went off in search of a medic, a new hope flaring up at seeing the energetic blond who proved that the demons were no match for him.

--

Kiba stood over a severely wounded Akamaru, popping another soldier pill as he stayed protectively over his best friend, eyeing the demons that stood in front of him warily. He and a majority of the ninja that were still alive were cornered and surrounded by what seemed like almost all of the demons that were left alive, but they wouldn't go down without a fight!

Glancing back, Kiba saw that Shino and the other Aburame were being sorely pressed and gritted his teeth, wanting to go go help him.

Seeing the oy's temporary lapse, one of the demons screeched and was about to leap forward, but found itself collapsing bonelessly insetead, wondering why there was a large hole in the middle of it's chest.

Darting through the opening that the dead demon made, Hinata spun, quickly, striking two more of the demons, killing them, before taking a Jyuuken stace. "Are you ok Kia?!" She asked, lashing out at another demon that got too close.

Kibe thew a few shuriken, forcing the demons to back off and give them some reathing room. "Yeah, but where the hell have you been Hinata?! I thought you were dead for sre after we got seperated!" He replied.

Hinata smiled. "I was in a bad spot, but then Naru-kun saved me, and now he's going to save us all!" She exlaimed happily.

Having been listening in, Sakura shook her head sadly as she fought alongside Tsunade. "Poor Hinata, she's lost it... She thinks Naruto has come back to life..." She aid, her voice heavy with the pain of loss.

Tsunade punched a demon, casing it to explode with the force of her attack. "Sakura, keep your head in the battle! We can mourn Naruto later!" She exlaimed angrily. She was as exhausted as everyone else, running on lttle more than the need to drive out the invaders.

All of a suden, the bloodied remains of demons fell all around them from the rooftops. "Hey Baa-chan, why would ya mourn me? I'm not dead!" A familiar voice called out, shocking eeryone there. Looking up, they were all greeted by the smiling face of Naruto as he squinted down at them. Well, enough Narutos that there wasn't a single gap in between them on the roofs, completely surrounding the demons that had surrounded Tsunade and the others, and they were all weilding giant claymores. All of them opened their eyes at once, revealing their brilliant silver.

"H-how?!" Tsunade stuttered while Sakura and many others gaped like fish.

Grinning, all of the Naruto clones let out a battlecry and decended upon the demons, their blades flashing.

On the Hokage monument, Naruto stood, grimly staring down the titanic demon in front of him...

-End Part 2-

A/N- Now, before anyone jumps on me about the whole Yumi suddenly falling for Naruto thing, just hol off. She just went through an extremely terrifying experience after hours of fighting, and Naruto showed up just in time to come to her rescue, so there are some feelings there that would come naturally after being saved.
