Okay! Well, back! Okay, so I found a new way to write, hopefully it'll be much MUCH better than the other times I've written! LET THE CHAPTER CONTINUE!
KsNandS: *Peeks out behind a corner* Whoa… Satan… the Demon of Wrath… GO NARUTO! LET IT CONITNUE!
Satan: …You… you have sinned greatly child… your punishment is DEATH!
Naruto: I'll silence you!
Kyuubi: …*Awaits eagerly*
Naruto vs. The Demon of Wrath: Satan
There was an eye lock between Naruto and the demon of Wrath. Satan's wicked aura and stench of death caused Naruto's eye to twitch.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" The legendary demon's mouth gaped open, "I sense fear in you…
In fact… I smellllll iiiiittttt," he took a deep inhale of the air and released. Naruto
coughed a bit. The putrid breath entered his lungs and made him gag.
Naruto snorted a growl, "You… took my girl… friend *krk* away from… ME!" His rage was peaking with every second that passed, and they hadn't even begun battling! The longer time passed, the larger his rage grew.
Satan licked his lips and smacked them, "a little pissed are we?" a deep chuckle escaping his jaws, "well then… after I kill you… I'll feed off that wonderful anger rising within you… then I drag your body back to Hell and toss you into the PIT to rot for eternity!" He crouched down low stretched out his lanky, boney arms.
The blond stood alert, in a defensive stance, ready to jump any moment.
Satan opened his gaping mouth, "LLEH SREWOT! EEHT NOMMUS I!" The demon's language changed! Strangely… Naruto… actually understood it! The blond leaped out of the way as black holes formed in the floor and 7 gothic, pitch black towers rose from the depths! "EID!" a roar echoed in the room as the towers' cages opened and giant gaudy arrows made of stone ejected out!
Naruto crouched lower, and thus began leaping around the room! The massive arrows charging at him, trying to pierce his chakra coated body!
Satan only laughed as the blond amused him by leaping about, "EREHT!" a long finger nail jutted out as a single arrow thrust forth and hit Naruto, forcing him back! "ERIF!" Satan pointed again as a mass of arrows lunged themselves non-stop at the blond! Dust began to form within the alter room until Satan halted them with a wave of his hand! The dust cleared…
Satan inhaled a bit of air, "…what! WHAT!" Naruto stood there, the arrows had been incinerated by the blazing chakra surrounding him. It didn't take long for Satan to put the pieces together, "So… the Kyuubi's chakra acts as a cocoon… a shield almost. You're like a cockroach… no matter if you're head is cut off… you simply… WON'T DIE!"
Naruto panted, the arrows pressured him greatly. This Demon was insanely powerful… though… it was really obvious. Naruto crouched down and began leaping gracefully across the marble floor!
Satan pointed his glass-like nails, causing arrows to shoot! Naruto's agility and fleet footed abilities over came the speed of the arrows. He vanished from side to side and then cocked his fist back!
He screamed as he thrust forward, a flaming chakra punch to Satan's snout! It was strong enough to send him soaring into a wall, creating a dust cloud! The towers crumbled as Naruto landed, however Satan howled, "YES! YES YES! SIN FOR ME! SIN FOR ME NARUTO UZUMAKI!" He came out of the cloud and tackled Naruto to the ground, picked him up and swung him into a wall! Naruto screamed, sending shock wave of bladed air towards the demon! He jumped high into the sky and grabbed the key on his way down, dodging many other shock-waves. He cocked back his hand and grabbed Naruto, slamming him into the ground and then holding him to where they met eye level.
Satan's breathing was calm, "You want this key boy? Is this what you want," Satan dangled the key teasing him, as if expecting Naruto to try and do something he'd regret, "well… you're going to how to rip me open and extract it…" he opened his mouth and swallowed it whole!
Naruto gasped, "DAMN YOU! GIMME THE FUCKING KEY!" A blazing kick to Satan's jaw sent him into the air. Naruto created clones that hoped up and surrounded the demon on all sides. Satan blocked two kicks to the face, but failed to see the back breaking leg plant behind him, thus two other clones were able to take hold of him, arm by arm, while the real Naruto readied himself and lunged at Satan, his tail waving and launching him into a blazing tackle! As soon as they landed, Satan suffered a beating from blazing punches from Naruto, just about anywhere! The Demon regained himself and grabbed Naruto by the neck and flipped them over! He slammed the blond into the ground several times before inhaling and blasting the blond with a beam of energy generated from his gaping mouth!
"Boy," Satan's wasn't even panting as he spoke, "you're really a pain in my ass…" he growled at Naruto. The blond felt goose-bumps appear on his skin and his spine tingle, "a simple school student without even a reputation in the ninja world… able to hold his own against a legendary demon from Hell… HAHAHAHA!" Satan's wicked laughing fueled Naruto's intense rage! The veins on the sides of Naruto's eyes were bulging with hate! "I feel your anger… I love it… commit more sins… MORE SINNING!" the beast roared mightily and ran after Naruto!
The blond gasped and rolled over before Satan could pierce him with his nails! The beasts bloody eyes glanced over and narrowed. Like a lightning bolt he thrust his other fingers into the ground, Naruto rolling over again to dodge it.
"BAH! HOLD STILL! I NED TO PIERCE YOU!" Satan thrust his arms into the ground in a circle. Finally he thrust both of them into the ground, Naruto flipped back knocking him in the chin, forcing his head up, and then jumped, performed a flashy front flip before slamming his heel on Satan's snout! "GWAAHHHH!" the demon gripped it's snout as Naruto's arm spazzed and lunged towards Satan's torso while the chakra nails became a drill! Naruto let out a battle cry before skewering Satan in the torso! He needed that key! Whether he had to rip Satan open or be swallowed he needed it! Sakura was the only person on his mind! Satan roared as Naruto began drilling away… oddly… he wasn't getting much anywhere!
The demon grabbed Naruto, and chucked him face first towards a wall! The blond thought quickly and stopped his launching body by rotating and landed against his feet, crouching down low, while Satan gasped for breath, the blond lunged and tackled him in the stomach!
"GIMME THE FUCKING KEY DAMMIT! DON'T MAKE ME RIP YOU APART!" Naruto threatened!
"YOU'LL NEVER GET IT YOU ACCURSED CHILD! NEVER! I'D KILL MYSELF WITH IT AND LET YOUR LOVED ONE ROT IN THAT CELL BEFORE I HAND IT OVER!" Satan's eyes blazed. Naruto gasped, his anticipation kicked in as Satan fired flames from his eyes.
"…jeez… don't have to get all up-tight…" Naruto jumped back and crouched down.
"You've PISSED ME OFF BOY! DIE!" Satan opened his right palm, a surge of fire formed within it before a crisp, golden scythe appeared in his hands, "YOU'RE HEAD IS MINE!" Satan chucked the scythe, holding it by a rope, made of deceased maiden's hair Naruto noticed.
Kyuubi gasped, "WHOA! WATCH OUT! THAT BLADE PIERCES CHAKRA KIT!"
The head of the head came around before Satan pulled vigorously on the rope, the scythe's blade coming in for a clean sweep of Naruto's neck! Naruto gasped and made a hand-sign, a last minute resort! The blade impacted, however the blond puffed into smoke! Satan was somewhat mystified by scythe blade snapped back into place upon it's pole. Satan scanned the area in attempt to locate the blond. His ears perked and angled his head up, "I can hear your beating heart…, you're stuck to the ceiling aren't you?" he looked up, and indeed there the blond was, stuck to the ceiling. Naruto released and shot down, putting his arms at his side to increase his speed! Satan swing the scythe at the blond, manipulating it to rotate at high speeds. As soon as Naruto sensed the weapon coming he made a hand-sign and puffed into smoke again! Satan's eyes shined a wicked demonic blood colour.
A cheeky grin seared itself on Satan's face, "RIGHT!" he commanded! The scythe spun to the right, where Naruto was currently running towards the demon. He puffed into smoke again, "LEFT AND UP!" his voice bellowed and pointed towards the ceiling! Again, Naruto disappeared in a puff of white smoke! Satan felt his heart beat and looked about the area. He grumbled, "Where are you… you little…" scanning the area as the scythe rotated around the room. Naruto was secure up near the alter door, behind an Edelweiss flower pot. The scythe was definitely trouble for Naruto, he wouldn't be able to get near the demon without losing something… and he definitely wanted to keep his limbs.
"If he can hear my beating heart… there's no way I'll be able to get close enough to him to make a strike… c'mon Naruto… think! THINK!" He racked his brain for an answer.
"Kit!" the Kyuubi's voice echoed throughout his mind, "Satan can sense your heart beat!"
"NO FUCKING DUH FOX! I'M TRYIN'A FIGURE OUT HOW I'M GONNA BEAT THIS GUY! I NEED THAT KEY!"
The fox growled viciously inside it's cage, "DON'T GET FRESH WITH ME YOU LITTLE PUNK! NOW LISTEN TO ME!" Kyuubi's enraged voice caused Naruto to shut one eye, "try dispersing the heart beat through each of your clones, it'll be useless to try to confuse him with a simple barrage!"
Naruto's eye twitched, "DUMBFUCK! CLONES DON'T HAVE HEARTBEATS! AND I'M THE DUMBASS!" and he was the dumbass. That was the stupidest idea he'd ever heard! Kyuubi's ear twitched and an anger vein popped on his head.
"THEN LEMME CONTROL FOR A WHILE! I WANNA FIGHT! IT'S MY CHAKRA!" Kyuubi bounced around in his cage.
"WHAT! I'M NOT LETTIN' YA CONTROL MY BODY! WHADDYA THINK I AM! A DUMBASS!"
"…yes… good grief… your dumbass-ness is rubbing off on me… I still can't believe I said that… it must be a gene your dad has…" Kyuubi chuckled and flashed a toothy grin, he thought he heard someone yell at him from way in Naruto's subconscious.
"I SAID NO! AND NEVER-EVER SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN! MY DAD WAS THE BEST MAN EVER! Also… I think I have an idea!" The blond looked around the corner while Kyuubi ranted on about the "dumbass-ness" of him and his father. Naruto knew his father… he was an intelligent man. Naruto was just a little more naive than most young men… a little bit… just a tiny bit more.
Naruto wondered though, how Satan was unable to detect him when he could sense his heart beat. Could it be limited? Only one way of figuring out.
"SATAN!" it attracted the demon's attention, as Naruto dashed towards the demon!
"DIE!" he pointed and the scythe homed in on the blond. Naruto poofed into smoke again! Satan's ears twitched. Before he could order the scythe however, a massive red hand appeared out of nowhere, knocking the demon back, causing the scythe to drop! He lost control of it upon being hit.
A massive thud echoed in the room as the golden scythe landed on it's butt, and then fell over, the blade cutting into the marble.
"I sensed your heartbeat… as soon as you moved, boy," Satan rose up onto his hind legs.
Naruto scoffed, "then how come you didn't kill me then and there? There's gotta be a limit to your sensing abilities. You can't sense anything if it's in about a five-hundred yard distance!"
Satan glared at him, "I'll correct you… I can sense heart beats in exactly a five-hundred and twenty-one radius around me… this alter is exactly five-hundred and fifty yards long, and two hundred and seventy-five yards wide. You also fought me at a ranged distance, a very smart move on your part," he held his hand out as the massive scythe lifted off the floor and levitated back to Satan's hand. The demon grinned, and smashed the hilt on the ground, creating a golden shock wave that swept across the floor! Naruto reacted by screeched at the top of his lungs, to a level where anyone's lungs would explode! The two blades combined and an explosion erupted in the room! Satan immediately rushed in and swung the scythe at Naruto! From a right angle the blade swung down as Naruto rolled to the side, the sharp edge smashing and cutting into the floor! Satan dragged it and swung it up into the air, twisted his body! Naruto hopped behind him.
"STAY STILL! I NEED TO CUT YOU!" The demon flashed a toothy grin and swing down! Naruto tried to dodge it, but sadly it snagged his trench coat and his shirt! Naruto gasped. The demon howled in delight and thrust it's hair-thin claws down! Naruto screamed, sending a shock wave that blasted Satan back, dragging the scythe along with it! It ripped the blonde's school shirt and his favorite trench coat!
"You ASSHOLE! That was my favorite coat!" Naruto cursed! Satan stopped and eyed the blond.
"How do you enjoy my ink?" The demon noticed Naruto's tattoos, especially the ones in red ink on his arms, "You have the seals of Beelzebub, Lucifer, Leviathan and me… Satan, upon your upper body. While below you have the seals of Mammon, Belphegor and Asmodeus… correct?"
Naruto said nothing to the demon. He stood straight up, hands to his sides, glaring at Satan. The demon smirked cheekily.
"Do you," he waved his hands around the room, "know exactly where we are, Naruto?" The blond looked around without moving a single muscle, "we are in the Alter of Souls! It is an area that is uncharted, even on the most current maps of your village. It is a sacred place, condensed, forgotten and misplaced within your cozy little town,"
"So… who gives a fuck… it's just an altar…" the blond literally hissed at the demon.
"Such disrespect… if only you possessed any knowledge of what powers we are capable of… well, I don't expect you to know, nor should to expect me to extrapolate, exactly, what we are capable of. I do however, expect you to understand, that you will die here… and that it will be at the hands, of wrath! Are you prepared… all I've been doing is kitty play…" the demon popped it's body. Naruto gripped his hands tightly, "hmm… you look strong… we will do this like gentleman… see if you can hold this…" the demon held out his hand. A little ball of energy popped out and fell into Naruto's hands before it took form of a sword. Naruto gripped it. It was quite hefty, however he was able to lift it without trouble. He swung it easily!
"Gooooooood," Satan gripped his scythe, "are you ready?"
"Shut up… and fight me… I'm going to get that key… I'll cut your limbs off if I have to…"
Satan became eagerly interested upon hearing his courageous words, "so be it… as a demon of Hell… I shall fight you nobly, but in the end… it will be I, who slays you," They stared at each other, gripped their weapons, and in a flash, they ran after each other, screaming their battle cries!
*With Sakura*
The pinkette sat there, in between her friends as she awaited Naruto's arrival. She wondered if he was even alright. It scared her without let up!
Kiba was probably the only one who noticed her. He placed a hand on her shoulder caringly. She responded with a slight angling of her head, then smiled.
"Hey, Naruto's gonna be okay, trust me, he don't look like the one ta' give up easily," Kiba smiled at her, giving her some reassurance.
She smiled back kindly, "thank you Kiba. I just hope we get out of here real soon, it's getting colder by the hour," she hugged herself to try and keep warm.
"Actually," Shino sat up slowly, "it's getting colder every twenty-five minutes," he corrected.
Angel hugged him, "hang in there Shino, we'll get you to a hospital as soon as we can, okay?"
He nodded and took a deep breath, however grunted when a surge of pain bundled up in his back.
The candle flickered lightly, casting a dim glow on them all, until they heard a door open and close. They crossed their fingers, however their hopes died when they heard;
"MY BIG BROTHER WILL BE THE CRAP OUT OF YOU! WAAHHH!" A child was tossed into the cell.
"Shaddup kid… keep dreamin'," the trench coat wearing man chuckled and walked away.
"KISHIMARU DOESN'T NEED TO DREAM BUTTHOLE! KISHIMARU'S BIG BROTHER IS GONNA KILL YOU AND EAT YOU! RAAAWWWWRRRR!" the boy waved his arms about wildly.
"…Kishimaru… what are you doing here?" Sakura stood up and walked over to him.
"That meany took Kishimaru from brother's apartment while Kishimaru was helping clean! Big brother needed Kishimaru to clean while he went to find Sakura!"
"…how old is he again? You talk like a five year old," Ino crossed her arms.
"You hog up all the ugly!" The boy knew Ino wasn't exactly the best person to be around with, Naruto had told him that personally.
"Oh… what a great comeback little boy… talk mature for your age!"
"Sakura will beat you up!" The boy snapped back! Ino looked at Sakura, and the pink haired girl put her hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Don't waste your breath… no one can talk to her, she's stubborn and a horrible friend," Sakura walked the boy back to where she sat and held him on her lap, "besides, I know Naruto's coming to get us, right?"
"Oh yes! Big brother was VERY ANGRY! He said for Kishimaru to wait here and be good and clean for him while he went out to find you all! But… Kishimaru no see brother around… where could he have gone?" the boy looked around clueless as to the whereabouts of the blond.
"I'm wondering that too… I'm becoming worried each minute that passes!" Sakura put her hand to her chest and furrowed her eyebrows.
"Well at least we know he's looking for us," Chouji spoke up, "we can't lose hope, and when we get out of these cells… I swear I'm gonna RIP THEM APART! I WANT MY FUCKING BARBEQUE DAMMIT!" Sakura covered Kishimaru's ears just in time and gave Chouji a glance, "whoops… sorry… I get very ANGRY WHEN I DON'T GET MY BARBEQUE THOUGH!" He fumed as Helga patted his back.
"Oi! You, li'l boy!" Helga called out, "if your brother doesn't get here when night falls I'm gonna go crrrazy! I NEED MEH BARBEQUE TOO!"
The boy cocked his head at her accent, "you talk funny," he said.
"It's becos' I'm not from arround here! I come from a different land where the whiskey flows in river-banks! The rum can be extracted from the glistening green trees and I can hear the sound of me bag-pipes tootin' away!" she sniffed, "I miss me ol' home… but… I fell in love with this piece o' chunky meat right here," she said and hugged Chouji, "I will never regret meh decision," she nuzzled into Chouji's body.
"Awe!" The boy giggled, he looked at Ino who sat in the corner staring at a wall and then up at Sakura. She shook her head signaling him not to start. He looked at Kiba, who waved, Hinata blushed slightly and waved too, He saw Shino, "uh oh… is he okay?"
Sakura looked at Shino and sighed, "He hurt his back really bad, we're waiting for Naruto to come so he can get us out of here, and so we can take him to the hospital,"
Kishimaru furrowed his eyebrows.
"How come your hair is gray? Naruto has blond hair," Shikamaru spoke out of the blue, trying to change the subject.
The boy thought, Naruto explained it to him once, "brother said it was… a ge-net-ic thingy. Kishimaru does not know what it means but brother likes Kishimaru the way he is!"
"So it was a genetic mix-up. Huh…" Shikamaru thought. The DNA strands were so complicated… anything was possible, even something so complex as hair could be easily screwed up. Genetics weren't perfect.
There was a longevity of silence amongst them all, until Ino burst.
"URGH! THAT IDIOT BETTER GET HERE QUICK! I'M FREEZING!" Kishimaru twisted his head and glared at him.
"SHUT UP! BIG BROTHER IS DOING THE BEST HE CAN! KISHIMARU KNOWS THIS!"
"WHY CAN'T YOU TALK LIKE A TWELVE YEAR OLD SHOULD!"
"WHY ARE YOU SUCH A PIGGY!"
"SAY THAT AGAIN AND I'LL BEND YOUR LIL' ASS OVER MY KNEE!"
"WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN!"
"BECAUSE… BECAUSE…" Ino stared at them all.
"Why are you such aaaaa…" Kiba looked at Sakura, she covered Kishimaru's ears, he smiled thankfully at her, "WHY ARE YOU SUCH A FUCKING BITCH!"
"Shut the fuck up Inuzuka! This isn't any of your fucking business!" Ino growled at him! It looked like a regular dog-fight between Ino and Kiba, shouting at each other and throwing curses and calling each other horrible names.
"INO!" Sakura stood up and cocked her hand back before striking the platinum blonde across the face! "SHUT UP!" she grabbed the collar of Ino's jacket and looked her dead in the eyes, "NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR YOUR ANNOYING VOICE RIGHT NOW! WE'RE STUCK IN A CELL AND YOU'RE STARTING YOUR CRAP AROUND AND RIGHT AT A TWELVE YEAR OLD! GROW UP, OR SO HELP ME I'LL REARRANGE YOUR DAMN FACE! TSUNADE TAUGHT ME THINGS YOU'VE NEVER EVEN DREAMED OF!" Sakura spat in Ino's face, "and believe me… I have the strength to turn your world UP-SIDE-DOWN! SO SIT DOWN," Sakura lifted Ino and thrust her on the seat, cracking it, "and keep your mouth, shut! And if you talk about my boyfriend like that again I'll do more than rearrange your face!" Sakura let go of Ino's collar and walked back over, and sat down next to Kishimaru and held him close. Everyone stared at her. Her chest was moving up and down at a rapid rate, a snarling look on her face.
Kiba wasn't sure about everyone else but… THANK FUCKING KAMI! Ino shut up! The dog man looked at Hinata and flashed a toothy grin at everyone. They all smiled in agreement, it was good Sakura was around Naruto. She was coming out of her shell again. Sakura stroked Kishimaru's hair and looked forward at the cell door.
"Sakky-chan?" Kishimaru spoke up softly, she looked down, "Kishimaru is hungry,"
"Okay, as soon as Naruto gets us out of here, we'll go ahead and get something to eat, okay?" She smiled. The boy nodded and Sakura held him in her lap and rocked back and forth. They sat amongst the flickering candle light… unaware of the events occurring at that exact moment across the village.
*Naruto and Satan*
"HIIIIIIYAAAAAA!" Naruto cried and swung the blade down! Satan dodged it and swung the blade of the scythe at Naruto's neck! The blond blocked it as they locked!
"You're pretty good with a sword boy," Satan grit his teeth, the boy was stronger with Kyuubi's effect on him.
"You're not so bad yourself for a demonic bastard," the blond pushed the scythe away and jumped up swinging at Satan's head, he swiped a few of the beasts hairs away, "Getting tired? I got your hair!"
"Don't be so quick," Satan swung the blade of his scythe down, planting the blade into the ground and extracting it to block a swing, "too judge! You're getting tired as well! Look at your, you're sweating like you've just gotten out of a furnace!" Satan back flipped out of Naruto's way before the blond could land a blazing strike with his talon-like claws! Satan raised his scythe and slammed it into the ground, generating a massive shock wave! Naruto inhaled and screamed, causing the powers to collide and create an explosion! Even in the dust clangs of their weapons could be heard echoing!
Satan stood on his toe and began spinning with the scythe erect, turning into a be-heading machine! Naruto back flipped away and blocked the swings with his sword. The demon backed up to gain distance between them. It didn't matter much, as Naruto hot out a chakra arm and grabbed the demon, using Kyuubi's massive strength, he lifted the demon and slammed him back and forth, tossing him into the sky and grabbing him with his tail, snatching him and slamming him down on the ground! The demon coughed and hacked!
Naruto watched the Satan got back onto his feet and hacked up blood! Naruto hatched an idea just then! If he could nail hits to Satan's back, maybe the demon would cough up the key.
"Kyuubi! You see that!"
"AND FURTHERMORE! THAT BRINGS ME TO THE CONCLUSION AS TO WHY YOU AND YOUR FATHER SHARE THE DUMBASS GENE!"
"YOU'RE STILL GOING ON ABOUT THAT! YOU FUCKING FOX LOOK!" Naruto's eyes turned into white circles, however Kyuubi looked, seeing Satan coughing up blood.
"Ewwww… well, it's that's the only way to get that key! DO IT KIT!"
Naruto nodded and rushed towards the hacking demon and jumped over him! He let loose with blazing punches to Satan's back! The demon howled as blood shot across the floor! It wasn't a weak spot Naruto had ever thought would think of… but it was also weird since he had slammed Satan on his back several times. Perhaps it was because of fatigue wearing on him. But who cared! This was Naruto's chance! Satan jumped out of the way, coughing up a stream of blood to wash all over Naruto.
"AWWWW! FUCK! NASTY!" The blond plugged his nose, the stench of blood reeking around him. Great… now Sakura would probably stay away from him for a while. Satan coughed again and wiped his lips.
"You may have hit a spot where I'm weak, but you'll never get that key unless you hit my weak spot boy! KEEP TRYING!" The demon released a roar and swing the scythe madly!
"FUCK!" Naruto shielded himself as Satan swung the blade of his scythe at Naruto's neck, trying to behead him!
Kyuubi sat down and sighed, "Well that plan went down the pooper," sighing and leaning on his arm, "So what now genius?"
"I gotta find his weak spot! I'll end up getting myself killed if this continues any longer!" Naruto swung at Satan, getting him to back away. The blond studied the demon. There was nothing but fur all over him, it was hard to tell where a weak spot was!
"WHY HAVE YOU STOPPED, SINNER! COME AT ME WITH YOUR ALL!" Satan howled, releasing a giant bloody shock wave from his gaping mouth! Naruto rolled out of the way. Naruto noticed some kind of souring scent in the air, and looked at the blood! It was actually a pool of acid, eating away at the marble.
"Ohhh… that's a new one…" Kyuubi raised his eyebrows, "Any plans now?"
"I… I dunno if I can beat 'em… I can't find a weak spot!" The blond dodged another spray of acidic blood. Naruto rolled and rolled, it was hard to get a look at the demon while he was attacking! Naruto circled around the blood spraying demon, creating clones that ran off and attacking Satan! The demon picked them off, however Naruto found his way to the beasts back and lunged his sword into the demon!
However, the sword did not penetrate his fur. Satan turned he head and flashed a cheeky grin, "like you… and Kyuubi's chakra… my fur is also, what protects me, did I forgot to tell you?"
Naruto rushed out of the way as soon as Satan swung the scythe down! However Naruto did not escape so easily, Satan grabbed the blond and threw him to the ground! Squirting acid blood at the blond, only to see a puff of white smoke!
"Remember! I sense your heart beat!" He swung the acid around and attacked a clone! Satan felt many other stabs from behind, as a massive hoard of clones came after him from both sides and above! They're attempts to pierce Satan's hide failed. Satan popped them all by squirting acid at them.
"ARE YOU STUMPED!" Satan teased. Naruto hid behind a vase away from Satan's heart beat sense. The demon looked around while Naruto studied him. The altar was full of Satan's acid. Naruto watched as Satan stepped around the pools, scanning the area for him.
"Kyuubi… do you think I can use Satan's acid against him?"
The fox thought, "Maybe… the weakness may be under his fur. If your intuition is right though… it's worth a shot. I wonder how someone with a dumbass gene could be so smart as to TRY AND USE AN OPPONENTS ATTACKS AGAINST THEM,"
"…shut up…" Naruto created another mass shadow clone army. Satan reacted by squirting more acid, filling up the alter. Kyuubi sighed at Naruto.
"Yeah yeah yeah… use as much of my chakra as you wanna… I DON'T FUCKING MIND!"
Finally the demon made a mistake and stepped in a pool of his own acid, "GWRAH! AHHH!" The demon screeched and jumped to a wall, "pure coincidence he'd try to use my own acidic blood against me… pfft… maybe he's not such a dummy after all," the demon smirked, "creating mass shadow clones in getting me to use my acidic spray to fill up the alter, so therefore I step in it to expose my weakness. I knew this was it," he ran along the wall, the heart beat sense kicking in, "THERE YOU ARE!" The demon opened it gaping mouth squirt acid! Naruto gasped and jumped up on the ceiling. He stuck to it, his limbs spread out!
Satan jumped up after Naruto and dragged the blade of the scythe across the altar ceiling! Naruto gasped and moved out of the way! The demon landed on a dry spot of marble, underneath the blond. He was backed into a corner.
"…As much fun, as this has been I will say something Naruto… when I drag your bones back to Hell… I'll make sure they TOSS YOU IN A PIT OF FLAMES INSTEAD!" Satan inhaled, aimed his head up straight and squirt a massive fountain of blood. The blood covered Naruto… however… Satan heard that 'poof" of a shadow clone. The demon gasped as acidic blood rained down upon him! It was a trap!
"GRWRAAHHHHHHHH!" Satan gasped as his fur began melting away, exposing his grey skin! "NO! NO! NOOOOO!" the demon roared as Naruto came out of nowhere, blade in hand and shoved the blade through the demon's stomach! Satan gasped, the scythe fell to the ground and melted immediately in the acidic pool. The demon coughed up blood as it leaked from his lips, dripping all over Naruto's back.
"I… I… foresaw my defeat… eventually…" the demon fell back into the blood. Naruto's sword vanished into thin air, as he stood over the demon.
"If you foresaw your own defeat… why did you battle me?" the blond stared at the fallen demon intently for an answer as he turned back to normal.
"Twas to test your abilities… you will have a much tougher fight ahead of you I believe. The man whom summoned me… he sacrificed one-hundred of his own men just to bring me to this world… I appeared before him, he immediately had control over me, his eyes…"
"Eyes? Whaddya mean?" Naruto's voice snapped back to normal.
"That question, is something that you must find on your own. I have not been defeated, since Kami had come down from the heavens and sealed us demons. She is the light… we are the dark, and now I must return to my domain. I do not foresee us meeting again… anytime soon," the demon gurgled as acidic blood foamed out of his mouth and the body of the demon of wrath melted down, the pools of acidic blood disappeared, leaving behind holes in the floor. At Naruto's feet, the key rest on the floor, shining a gold. Naruto picked it up and gripped it. His trench coat and shirt had melted… it was cold, his apartment was destroyed and he had just fought a demon of legendary status… could his day get any worse or weirder? Probably not, but one thing was for sure, his attitude might change when he saw Sakura's beautiful face.
As Naruto was walking away, the altar began to crumble as acidic blood seeped out from the cracks in the building! Naruto gasped and streaked out of the altar before it could collapse, he ran out into the cold night, and watched in complete awe. The building melted into nothing but acidic blood before him. A giant pool of Satan's smirking face melted away.
"…not… anytime… soon…" the demons animalistic growl evaporated along with the blood, leaving the snow unharmed oddly. The chilly air nipped his aching muscles, his cerulean eyes looked out towards the gently falling snow crystals. It felt so good on his skin, he was sweating still. He glanced at the tattoos on his arms.
The blond slowly walked through the desolate-looking village, finding the cottage he once saw before his fight. In front of him was the key hole. Inserting it, he heard many clanks and rolls and finally a snap! The door unlocked and he entered the house. It was dark… and gloomy.
He felt a surge of anger for some reason. He also felt a presence here as well, it was non-human.
"Kit…" Kyuubi's voice echoed, "don't worry about it… it's just a lil' pip-squeak demon… also… good job beating Satan," the fox shrugged. Naruto wanted to ask him questions, but now wasn't the time.
"…thanks…"
He walked throughout the house, and down a long corridor to his right, which seemed to lead into the basement.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" a voice hissed from out of nowhere!
"..I'm not in the mood…" Naruto bluntly stated.
"Muwehehehehehehehehe… I am the guard of this door. Non shall enter except for lord Satan!"
"…I've already defeated Satan…"
"AHAHAHAHAHA! YOU! DEFEAT THE DEMON OF WRATH! THOU JESTS!"
"Satan had the key, right?"
"Correct…"
"Non can enter this house without the key, correct?"
"Correctemundo…"
"One would have to defeat Satan in order to obtain the key and enter this house, correct?"
"Yes…"
"How am I here?"
"SIMPLE! YOU DEFEATED… SA-T-AN…? …" There was a longevity of silence that lay, until Naruto heard a shrieking battle cry coming from down far at the end of the corridor!
From the distance, Naruto spotted a bloody skeletal demon with piercing red eyes running towards him! Naruto sighed and shook his head, and in a flash, snatched the demon, twisted it's head until finally ripping it off! He supposed he still had much anger left within him.
"Bravo Kit… bra-vo… and I thought there'd be an epic battle or somethin'" Kyuubi stretched his body comfortably without worry.
"You expect to much Kyuubi… too much,"
"Expect, the unexpected Kit,"
Naruto walked down the long corridor. He felt that feeling… the evening feeling. He had to find Sakura quick before he transformed! Unlike when he fought, the demon's cloak was supposed to permanently engulf Naruto, however with the seal on the Kyuubi's cage, that effect could be suppressed for a limited time only. When surrounded by this form of the demon's cloak, Naruto's personality altered completely. His became more animal-like, his senses heightened, he gained site of an animal and he acted like he was one. It was a drastic change. He was a half-blood, nothing could ever change that either.
Naruto's thoughts delved back on Sakura, and how he thought Sakura would react to figuring out his secret. He could see a negative reaction.
He rattled his head, now wasn't the time to be thinking that. Traversing below the cellar, the blond heard a noise, it sounded like talking, echoing far inside the cells. Looking out into the darkness, the blonde's eyes saw a faintly glowing light, that looked like a candle's light. He walked warily towards it, hoping it wasn't another fight with a demon. Much to his luck, it was not.
"…SAKURA!" The blond gasped! Within the cell he could see everyone, even Kishimaru!
"NARUTO! Thank goodness!" The pinkette ran over towards him and gripped the cage bars! The blond looked down at the lock and scoffed. He wasn't in the mood for finding a fucking key!
"Everybody look away…" he commanded. They all did as told, although Shikamaru had to force Ino to look away.
Kishimaru watched as Naruto transformed slightly and cut the lock off. He knew Naruto didn't mind him looked… he was the only one who knew who Naruto really was, inside, and out. Naruto transformed back and opened up the door.
"AHH YUCK! YOU SMELL MAN!" Kiba plugged his nose and Akamaru hid his head. They all shuddered.
"S-Sorry everyone… I ran into trouble… but I'm okay. I might've gotten a lil' gore on my body but I'm okay… really sore and tired… and hungry, but okay,"
Sakura ran up to him and hugged him tightly.
"I worried you weren't coming for us…" she looked up at him with pleading eyes. Pleading, tired eyes that wanted to go home.
"You worried about me? …Sakura…" he stroked her cheek with his fingers, "I worried about you the most… but let's talk after we get oughta here… I hate this place," He suggested. They all agreed. Naruto took the candle and lighted their way outside into the snow.
Sakura unzipped Kiba's jacket and folded it neatly, "thank you Kiba, it was very warm," she handed it to him.
"Oh, no problem Sakura! Glad it kept ya warm!" He zipped it back up and noticed Akamaru rolling around in the crisp snow, chuckling a bit.
"Sakky-chan?" Kishimaru, tugged Sakura's pants, "Kishimaru is hungry… can we get something for dinner?"
Sakura looked at Naruto, who smiled and nodded, "sure, come on Naruto, let's go back home. I'm hungry too. We'll see you guys tomorrow okay?"
"Alright!"
"Man! The barbeque is closed now! Gaaaahhhh!" Chouji whined. Helga whined with him, and the two headed home. But, luckily for them both, they could make something to eat that would satisfy them easily. Ino walked off without saying a word with Shikamaru, who only rubbed his should and muttered on about how troubling she was. Kiba and Hinata, along with Akamaru headed home. Neji and Tenten silently slipped away and Rock Lee and Verde definitely said their good-byes.
Naruto and Sakura had to help Shino to the hospital. After they dropped him off and both Angel and Shino said their goodbyes, Naruto, Sakura and Kishimaru were off towards the wrecked apartment.
Entering the trashed apartment was like reliving another nightmare for Naruto. Sakura sighed, shut the door and turned on the heat to get the house heated up. Kishimaru went back to folding laundry, hoping to lessen their burden, while Naruto fell on the couch and closed his eyes for a moment. Sakura couldn't express how bad she felt for him, Kishimaru felt the same way too.
"Naruto… what would you like to eat? I'll make it, you rest okay?"
"…can I just get some cup ramen?"
"Of course Naruto, I'll make it for you," she furrowed her eyebrows. There was one cup of ramen left. Sakura boiled water on the stove and walked into the living room to sit with Naruto and Kishimaru both. Naruto looked beat… He was bloody, dark circles had appeared under his puffy eyes and she could tell the stress was settling in on his body.
"I'll run you a bath okay? If the tub isn't cracked…" she got up and walked in the bathroom. The shower stall was broken, the glass was everywhere, but the bathtub was still the same. Finding the broom in the closet and a dust pan, a bucket too she swept up some of the broken glass, but stopped after 5 minutes to fix Naruto's ramen. She returned to her duty while Naruto ate, and Kishimaru snacked a bit or a granola bar that was found in the back of the cup board.
Sakura swept up the glass and emptied it inside the bucket. It took her a good hour to sweep it all up. But, the floor was officially free of glass. She drew Naruto a nice, hot bath.
"Naruto, you're bath is ready!" she called! He entered the bathroom and sighed, placing his hand on his forehead.
"Thanks… Sakura,"
She closed the door behind her and fell on the couch.
"Sakky-chan," Kishimaru sat down with her, "do you want some?" He handed out the granola bar. She smiled and shook her head.
"No thanks, you go ahead and have it, I'll find something to eat,"
A few hours passed, Naruto walked Kishimaru home, while Sakura went ahead and cleaned up the apartment a bit more until Naruto got back. By the time he arrived home, she had cleaned up the laundry and had the washer going, was vacuuming the carpet and getting the stains out. Naruto smiled, and then glanced over by the door. Behind the couch… he noticed something. He picked it up, and… he chuckled. His' attitude changed and he walked over to Sakura. She was currently getting the stains out of the carpet. Naruto tapped her shoulder.
She stopped what she was currently doing and stood up, only to find a box, somewhat bent and a little scuffed up, in her face.
"Open it! You'll like it!" He grinned at her foxily! The was quite the surprise, but she took it anyway and sat on the couch. Naruto sat down with her and watched as she took the lid off. It was wrapped in pink rice paper. Brushing strands of hair to the side of her face she carefully took the item out of the box and held it. She unwrapped it, and slowly stood up, letting the beautiful dress fall before her eyes.
"Like it?" Naruto stood up and hugged her from behind, "a lil' somethin' for the pageant I got'cha today when I went out, I hope it's okay,"
Sakura was a loss of words. She turned around and looked at him, "Oh Naruto… it's… amazing… beautiful… stunning! I-don't know what to say…" her eyes sparkled.
"We're gonna win the thing," Naruto hugged her tightly, his bare chest in her face, "I know we will!" He chuckled flashing his grin.
Sakura stepped back and looked up at him, "Naruto… how much did this… you know…" she tilted her head towards him.
He sweat-dropped, "well… I'm not supposed to-"
"Naruto, tell me how much it cost," she demanded! The blond sighed.
"Everything includin' that lil' white moth!" he said, pulled out his wallet and opened it. Only thing was the moth fluttered out and landed on his nose, "oh… hey there lil' guy, I thought you went with that lady,"
Sakura glanced at the dress and then at Naruto.
"Naruto! …You spent all your money… on me! You didn't have to do that!" Sakura stared at him. Naruto let the moth out the window and closed the pane of glass.
"I know… but I wanted to make you happy. I wanted for ya to somethin' I think you'd be good at," Naruto felt her soft hands caress his throbbing shoulders, "don't worry Sakura. Take the dress, I bought it for you and only you," he tuned around and held her hands, "I love ya baby… I just love ya,"
"…Naruto…" Sakura whispered and looked down at the dress, then back at him, "thank you… so very much,"
"Heh, no problem babe, besides, I wanna see how it looks on ya!" Naruto grinned. Sakura giggled and ran into the bedroom, changed, and walked out.
She looked stunning in the dress. Naruto nodded, flashing that grin that made his cheeks puff out. Sakura walked over and cupped his cheeks before bringing him into a soft kiss.
"Thank you… so much Naruto," she muttered through the kiss.
"…you're very welcome baby… you're very welcome," He kissed back. They headed to bed, they'd clean up more tomorrow. At least Sakura washed the sheets and they had clean sheets to use. Anything that resembled a pillow for Naruto, since, Sakura usually used his pecs as her pillow, was what Naruto used. Sakura had vacuumed the floor of the glass, and Naruto was able to find an extra pillow… even though it was scratched up a bit. The sheets and the spare comforter were in tact… for now. They climbed into bed, Naruto made sure everything was locked and turned out the lights.
He grunted as he settled down into the mattress. His aching body… Sakura rubbed his chest softly, relaxing him. What a day, he thought. Well… at least it was over… somewhat at least. He still needed to find out whom was responsible for this entire thing. So long as he was concerned… that person had another thing coming… he'd swear it.
*Inside Naruto's subconscious*
Minato sat there in his thinking position… and it was then that it FINALLY occurred to him! He opened his eyes as the name came straight to him.
"Uchiha"
