Naruto, The Rinnegan Sage
Sorry about the really late update but school has been a bitch and it's starting to wear me down. I got a PS3 for christmas and I'm so happy. I also bought Diablo 3 for $20 less during a sale. If you want to join me on Diablo 3, my name's Jolteon of Vapor on PS3 Network. Anyway, let's get rolling shall we.
Pikachu: "Pika!"
Diablo: "Not even death can save you from Me!"
Pikachu then shocks Diablo into a tiny quivering ball of burnt pile of quivering flesh.
Chapter 3
Forest of Death
Orokana has just finished laughing when a deep growl reverberates through the area. The water hands holding Naruto begin to become disfigured as if something was pushing against them. A sudden wave of KI envelopes the entire forest causing all the animals in the forest to faint from the extreme pressure. Orokana can do nothing as the water floods out in all directions. A slightly humanoid creature falls to the ground and begins to crawl forward towards the barely conscious Chunin. Two tails swing in the air around him as an orange aura surrounds him as he continues toward the Chunin, lowering the amount of KI. The Chunin is in a cold sweat when the KI is suddenly lowered, he then leaps forward with a kunai in hand screaming "Die you Demon!".
"You've just broken the law" Naruto says in a demonic voice "And the punishment is… Death!". Naruto then jumps onto a branch above them and starts to weave signs. "Kurai Sutairu, Mugen no koku no Jutsu" he yells as the ground underneath the idiots feet becomes total darkness, and he's sinking into it.
"What is this?" Orokana yells out in surprise as his feet begin to sink into it. He has sunk all the way up to his neck.
"This is the end… any final words" Naruto asks. His hand out in front of him in an 'open' position. (Think Gaara's Sand coffin)
"As if I'd say anything to you, Demon brat" Orokana sneers stubbornly, as the darkness tightens around him.
"Fine then… Yami no Hitsugi!" Naruto says closing his hands into a fist. Orokana doesn't even have time to scream as his entire body below the neck is crushed into a pea sized shape. All that remains is the head. The cloak of orange retreats into the seal as Naruto falls to his knees retching. When he has stopped vomiting he walks over to the dismembered head and looks down at it. Suddenly, 5 Anbu and the Hokage appear via Shunshin. All the Shinobi look at Naruto with a look, not seen by their mask, of complete horror.
"Naruto…" Sarutobi gasps out at Naruto who is still looking at the head "What happened?" Naruto looks over at his first Jiji… and his knees buckle. Two Anbu catch Naruto before he hits the ground. "Take him to the Hospital, force them to treat him, and watch them while they work to ensure that they are doing their job" Sarutobi orders. The Anbu Shunshin away and Sarutobi lowers his head with a shudder "The council will bitch about this and the paperwork over the death of this Chunin will be brutal".
Konoha's Hospital: The next day
Naruto wakes up gasping at 8:00 AM and looks around his reserved hospital room. He barely remembers the night before, all he can remember is the meeting with the old man. Naruto visibly shudders as he remembers the companion of the old man. A knock at the door is heard as Naruto gets up and feels a slight stinging in his arms and legs. Deciding to worry about it later, he opens the door and an Anbu with a pig mask stands there. "The council has requested your presence he says stoically.
Council chambers
It was a mad house. Screams of "Kill the demon brat" and "banish the idiot" reverberated throughout the room. Sarutobi sighes knowing that the meeting will basically be about Naruto. The door opens and Naruto walks in still rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "You're late demon!" A councilwoman by the name of Sakiri Haruna screeches out at the boy.
"I just got the message mere minutes ago" Naruto says while yawning "Don't blame me because the messenger was late". Before any of the other council members could shout at the boy for disrespecting the council, Sarutobi says "Enough". The Civilian council shuts up immediately. "Now, Naruto, If you would tell your side of the story of why you were standing over the head of the dead ninja".
"Yes Hokage-sama" Naruto responds raising a few eyebrows from all areas of the room, "I would like to note that some of the story will be for the Ninja side only" he says as he braces himself for the Banshee.
"HOW DARE YOU" The Pink-haired banshee screeches, causing many ears to bleed. "HOKAGE-SAMA, THIS DEMON IS WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM US, THAT IS NOT ALLOWED!".
Before Sarutobi can put the Banshee in her place, Naruto says "Actually, Haruna-san" this causes a tick mark to appear on said face "This information is related to my Tenant and doesn't directly relate to Civilian affairs, why you're here in the first place is unknown to me as this is a Ninja matter".
Everyone in attendance stares wide-eyed at Naruto who stands there maintaining a stoic expression reminiscent to Itachi Uchiha. In the land of clouds, Itachi suddenly sneezes causing the Ninja he was following to jump at his hiding spot while Itachi says "Shit".
Sarutobi grins at Naruto's display of intelligence and says with a smug look "He's correct, the Civilian council is dismissed".
"BUT HOKAGE-SAMA, THAT NINJA WAS ONE WHO PROTECTS ME AND MY HOUSE. HE WAS KILLED BY THAT DEMON AND IS THEREFORE A CIVILIAN MATTER!" Sakiri screams while the rest of the Civilian council sneers.
"Never the less, he was still a shinobi and was still under my command, not yours. Again, you're dismissed" Sarutobi growls leaking a tiny bit of his KI towards the CC. (Civilian Council)
"Hokage-sama" Naruto says while looking at the old man "I believe Sakiri should stay here". This confuses most of the council while Shikaku who was pretending to be asleep looks up and smirks. Chouza and Inoichi both look at their old partner, shocked at this show of emotion.
"And why is that, Naruto?" Sarutobi asks questionably. The SC (Shinobi Council) and the CC both lean forward in an attempt to hear how the boy will respond.
"I believe I can directly link her with the attempt on my life" At this Sakiri begins to inwardly sweat. Sarutobi motions for all but Sakiri to leave and motions to Naruto. Naruto then begins "I was on my way home to keep myself away from those mobs that wanted to kill me" Sarutobi clenches the sides of his desk in anger. "To avoid them I jumped into the forest and started to make my way home, but I was caught in a jutsu". "Suddenly I felt a surge of power and the rest is a complete blank".
"And how does this link to me?" Sakiri says in a strangely small voice. Sarutobi looks at Naruto and nods.
"Haruna-san, why was your guard so far away from you or your house, why the Forest of Death?" Naruto asks in a voice that yelled 'I already know why'.
All the SC looks over to Sakiri who is starting to tremble slightly. "H-how do I know you didn't kill him and then drag him into the forest to frame me?!" She starts to yell her voice rising.
"Let's think about this for a moment" Naruto says grinning "How could I, a civilian, beat a Chunin even if I caught him off guard. If I had tried to access my Tenants power, everyone would have felt it. It's only logical to think this way".
Sakiri felt her heart stop for a moment as she regains her composure "Hokage-sama, you can't believe this Demon brat can you!" she asks very loudly. Sarutobi nods over to a shadow and suddenly Sakiri has her hands pinned behind her back.
"Sakiri Haruna, you are under arrest for weakening the village, abusing your power and breaking an SS-class secret, the first two charges will be two weeks with Anko and Ibiki each" Sarutobi says in the most serious voice anyone has heard from him in a long time "Also by breaking an SS-class secret you shall be put in Prison for life, your family will no longer represent the council".
Before Sakiri can cry out the Ambu chops at her neck knocking her unconscious. "Take her to the T&I center, tell Anko this is the person that tried to hurt her Ototo". The Anbu nods and shunshins away.
Finally I've updated anything. It's been so long. Around 1500 words this time so woot. next chapter will be the revealing of the Old man in Naruto's mind. Sorry about the wait. Also not going to let Sakiri off that easy.
