Naruto, The Ninth Tail: Chapter 2

Introduction

As they neared the fight, they could see who the troublemakers were.

One man wielded a tomahawk, and threw it at people. This tomahawk changed form in the middle of the air, becoming a large, armoured falcon with razor blades for feathers and talons. This falcon flapped its wings, and the feathers would be shot from its wings, piercing peoples' flesh, bringing screams of agony fresh from throats.

The person wielding the tomahawk was a five foot eight man with two triangular tattoos on each cheeks, the points pointing at his nose, and curving slightly up as they move to the sides of his face. His eyes were an emerald green, with a fiery light. His canine teeth were longer than most peoples' covering some of his lower teeth as he grinned. He was wearing a chieftain's hat, with a red, yellow, and orange arrow pattern (as in continuous V's along the feathers, not actual archer arrows). He was also wearing Indian dress, all with the same arrow pattern. On the chieftain's hat, the headband had a metal plate with a fist thrust up engraved in the middle of the plate, just like a Ninja's forehead protector.

The other person had a full suit of medieval armour equipped onto his body. The armour had gold lining and very shiny. On the breastplate's left side, there was the fist insignia again lined with gold. There was not one scratch on it, and it seemed not to restrict the man's movements, but rather helped him along. The man had brown hair, tied in a small ponytail in the back. He also had a beard, connecting to his sideburns. His face was expressionless as he use a one handed sword held in his right hand to attack the people. This sword had a very intricate design on the sides. There was a flowing script that talked about how a hero saved many people, but was never happy. He eventually committed suicide, and the people he saved never knew why. The blade itself was very sharp, and you could hear it ring as it swung from side to side. In the knight's other hand was a metal shield, not even dented, but completely crusted with dried blood, aired out as it swung around in the air.

Naruto skidded to a halt, swung an arm over his head, and pointed it straight at the two strange warriors. "Hey, dammit! What the hell do you think you're doing?"

The two people stopped fighting, and turned around to look at the newcomers. The guy with the tomahawk swung it over his shoulder, and stood casually, looking at his nails. "What do you think we're doing? We're killing people."

The knight didn't day anything, and his face still was unreadable, but his eyes told a very different story. Those eyes had seen life born, and taken away. Those eyes had seen love and hate. Those eyes knew things that many would not know in ten lives. Just looking at those eyes gave Naruto a feeling that there was something there that he saw before.

Naruto was too angry to remember where he saw those eyes. "But why? There is no good reason to kill innocent people! What if it was you who was about to be killed?"

The tomahawk man just shrugged his shoulders. "I'll just kill them before they kill me."

At this remark, a vein pulsed in Naruto's temple, and he rushed at the guy, hands forming quick seals, boar, dog, bird monkey, sheep. Jiraiya recognized the pattern, and shouted at Naruto. "Hey! Don't use that technique! Think of how many casualties there will be if you summon Gamabunta! Isn't that what you're trying to prevent?"

As Naruto understood what Jiraiya had just said, he almost touched the ground, which would summon up a frog. It could have been Gamabunta, but it probably wouldn't be, due to Naruto's lack of talent. However, they couldn't risk it. Naruto straightened back up, and balled his fists. "Hey, what're your names anyway?"

The man with the tomahawk grinned. "Why, I'm Yatagawa Kirin, and this is my pal, Houtarou Touda." He said as he jabbed his thumb at himself and the other guy. Touda just nodded, his eyes unwavering.

"Don't you realize you're hurting many people? Think about their families, their friends! Don't you have any compassion?"

At the last statement, Kirin's face hardened. "We didn't have families to grow up with. We never knew this so-called compassion. All I had was this tomahawk my whole life, and that was all that cared for me, helped me to survive. I don't care about anything else, because nothing else cared about me!" at the last statement, he swung the tomahawk once again at the innocent bystanders, cutting and slicing at flesh.

Touda just stood there, staring at Naruto, with his bottomless eyes. Just then, Naruto finally realized what was so familiar about these two people. He knew what they had gone through. He knew the taunts and remarks that they heard.

They were just like him.

He had no time to register anything else. Touda had just instantly vanished and reappeared right behind Naruto,severing his spinal cord. Blood flew out, and Naruto couldn't feel his legs.

Sakura screamed, and the two elders could do nothing but stare. Naruto doubled over, as the world spun and slowed around him. "Sh-it…"

Kirin smirked. "That takes care of one of them. Now, for the others." By this time, there were no bystanders left to attack. He stalked forwards, his metal falcon glaring down at the Konoha ninja. Touda also stalked forwards alongside Kirin.

Sakura was so scared, she couldn't move an inch. I have to go help Naruto! she thought, but her body was not responding to the messages her brain was sending. The eyes of Kirin and Touda had no happiness, no mercy, no peace. Those eyes cut into her soul, chilling it, freezing it to the core. Those eyes kept her in place, like the heavy manacles of prison.

Naruto was laying there, blood pooling all around him. His eyes were watching the whole thing, and he couldn't do anything. "No…"

Touda walked right up to Sakura, and looked at her for one second. He brought his sword hand up, let it hang there, and then swung it down. Sakura closed her eyes, waiting for it to fall.
