Flashback

Thought

Team Kakashi had left the sand village two days ago and were on their way home. They were jumping from branch to branch in the forest that covered the majority of the fire country. Kakashi was in the lead with Naruto following behind him. Seth was next followed by Sakura.

Seth couldn't help but notice that both Naruto and Kakashi kept glancing back at him every minute or so. Seth looked back at Sakura for her to meet his gaze with a look that seemed that if she stopped looking at him something bad would happen.

Seth suddenly stopped on the branch he had just landed on and stood up straight.

"Ok, did I do something wrong?" Seth asked once the rest of the group stopped.

"What do you mean?" Kakashi replied.

"You are all acting as if I did something bad, you and Naruto keeps looking at me as if to make sure I am still there and haven't run away and Sakura's eyes are burning a hole in the back of my head." Seth said.

"Well we are just making sure that you don't pass out or anything from your head injury." Kakashi said. "You did leave before the doctors could run their final check up to make sure that you were ok to leave."

"Fine, whatever." Seth said before he jumped onto another branch and continued on his way as the rest of the team followed after him.

"Why didn't you tell him the truth?" Naruto asked after he jumped to Kakashi's side.

"I thought that it would be better if he didn't know." Kakashi answered. "After all if it wasn't for Sasori's poison stopping him he could have very well killed Sakura."

"I guess you're right." Naruto said. "Well lets hurry up and get to the village."

-several hours later-

"Finally we're back." Naruto said as they walked through the gates of Konoha.

"I have never been this tired since the last big fight I had at home." Seth said as he started to walk away. "I'll see you guys later I'm heading home but I still plan on having that conversation with you Naruto."

"Ok, I'm going to get me some ramen!" Naruto yelled before he ran down one of the streets to his favorite ramen shack.

"Sakura come with me to report the mission to Tsunade." Kakashi said. "I need someone that was there to explain what happened to Seth.

"Right." Sakura replied before the two of them started to walk towards the Hokage's building.

"But you might have to carry me." Kakashi said as he started to sway.

"Huh, what do you mean? Sakura said as she looked over to see Kakashi falling. She quickly moved under him and caught him on her back.

"I think using the Mangekyō sharingan took more out of me than I thought." Kakashi said. "It's a miracle that I made it here on my own." "Whatever." Sakura replied. "I'm going to take you to the hospital first and get Tsunade to move the mission briefing to your room." "Thank you." Kakashi said before he lost consciousness.

- At Seth's apartment-

Seth had unlocked the door and walked into his house and smelled the trash that had to be taken out and the dishes that he had left in the sink.

"Man I need to clean up." Seth thought. "But after I take a shower."

Twenty minutes later Seth had taken a shower and put on a pair of black, baggy cargo pants and a dark grey skin tight short sleeve shirt. He had taken the trash out and was half way done with the dishes when he heard a knock at his door.

"Who would that be?" Seth asked as he dried of his hands and walked towards the door.

Seth looked through the peek hole on the door and saw that it was Ino.

"Hey Ino what do you need?" Seth asked after he opened the door.

"I heard that you got back from your mission from the sand village and that you had an injury so I came to see if you're ok. Ino replied.

"Oh, ya I'm ok, just got hit in the head during a fight." Seth said. "It's nothing serious."

"That's good." Ino said.

"Hey Ino what are you doing here?" A voice from behind Ino asked.

Ino turned around to reveal Sakura walking up to them.

"I was just seeing if Seth was ok." Ino answered.

"Ok, anyway, Seth, Tsunade wants to see you." Sakura said as she looked at Seth in the eye.

"All right then." Seth replied as he went back into his apartment and grabbed his trench coat and arm guards. When he came back to the door Sakura was already gone but Ino was still there.

"Hey can I come with you?" Ino asked as Seth closed and locked the door.

"I don't see why not." Seth answered. Then they both walked towards the Hokage's mansion.

-In Tsunade's office-

"Until Kakashi recovers you will be the leader of his team, and your name will be Yamato." Tsunade said.

"Yes ma'am." Said Yamato. He was wearing the standard anbu uniform but he had taken off his mask revealing his face, and instead of the normal headband he was wearing a mask like headband that outlined his face. Yamato then turned around and left the room to go find the members of team Kakashi.

Tsunade hadn't been waiting for more than three minutes before Seth walked into her office with Ino behind him.

"You wanted to see me?" Seth asked once he approached Tsunade's desk.

"Yes I wanted to talk to you about the mission you just went on." Tsunade said. "Ino what are you doing here?"

"I was with Seth when Sakura told him that you wanted to see him and I asked Seth if I could come along and he said yes." Ino replied.

"Oh well I just gave Asuma a new mission for your team so you might want to go find him and the rest of your team." Tsunade said.

"Ok, see ya Seth." Ino said.

"See ya." Seth replied as Ino left the room. "So what did you want to know?"

"I wanted to talk to you about your fight with Sasori." Tsunade said."Or more specifically how it ended."

"Oh, well I won't be of any use to you I was knocked unconscious in the middle of the fight." Seth said.

"Well that isn't totally true." Tsunade said as she took a folder down from a stack of papers that were sitting on her desk and opened it up. "This is the report on your mission and the troubling part was your defeat of Sasori."

"What do you mean?" Seth asked with a confused look on his face. "I never defeated him."

"Well from what Sakura Told Kakashi is that after you were knocked unconscious you went berserk, Sakura said that your seal had partially come off." Tsunade said with a very serious look on her face."She said that any attack that got near you simply vanished, and when Sasori summoned hundreds of puppets to attack you Sakura said that it looked as if you used darkness itself to destroy them."

The moment Tsunade said darkness Seth got a very worried look on his face as his left hand twitched.

"Sakura said that when Sasori tried to escape you stopped him and then dragged him into the darkness." Tsunade continued as she closed the folder. "But what troubles me the most is when Sakura simply spoke you're name you appeared in front of her and started to strangle her, and if it wasn't for the poison that had entered your system stopping you, you could have very well killed her."

"Oh my god." Seth said. "That's why they were watching me so closely."

"Unfortunately because of that I am going to remove you from team Kakashi." Tsunade continued. "This is just a precaution in case something like this happens again, so from now on you will be taking missions by yourself."

"I understand." Seth said as his the look on his face turned serious.

"Because of this I have to find a replacement for their next mission." Tsunade said as she started to shake her head.

"I know it's none of my business but what is their mission?" Seth asked.

"One of Jariya's spies learned that Sasori was supposed to meet with a spy of his own that apparently works with an enemy of this village named Orochimaru, the man who killed the third Hokage. " Tsunade said. "So they are going to pose as Sasori and meet with the spy themselves."

"Ok, is it ok if I go to the training field to vent some anger?" Seth asked as his fists started to shake.

"As long as you don't destroy it." Tsunade said.

"Thank you." Seth said as he ran out of the office.

-At team 7's training field-

Seth had made sixteen blades out of the rock around him and chanted a spell to make them as strong as real blades and to move on their own. He was currently wielding a great sword and was sparing with the other blades.

"GOD DAMNIT!" Seth yelled as he swung his sword at one of the earth blades and cut it in half. "HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED AGAIN!"

Seth swung his sword at another one of the earth blades but missed.

"DAMNIT!" Seth screamed when he threw his sword at one of the many trees that lined the field and embedded it halfway into the tree.

Seth then dispelled the remaining earth swords and walked over to the tree his sword had pierced.

"I just need to go home and calm down." Seth said before he stood up and started to walk home after pulling the sword out of the tree and dispelling it.

-At Seth's apartment-

Seth had sat down in the middle of his living room and started to meditate like he did when he was learning how to fully control his powers. He had been sitting there for hours until Seth had actually fallen to sleep.

The next day Seth woke up to find himself still in the position he was in when he fell asleep.

"That was unexpected." Seth thought to himself as he stood up.

Seth walked into the apartments kitchen and started the coffee maker before he went and took a shower.

Seth got out and dressed in his usual skin tight black short sleeve shirt with baggy black cargo pants with his coat and arm guards.

"I wonder if Tsunade will have any missions that I can do since I'm on my own now." Seth thought as he drank his coffee. Seth quickly finished his coffee and left his apartment and started to walk towards the hokage's building.

As he entered the hokage's building he nearly bumped in to Shizune.

"Oh, hey Seth I was actually about to come get you so I could give you a mission." Shizune said as she handed Seth a scroll the she was carrying. "There seems to be a group of bandits that keep stopping and robbing from supply carts a couple of miles from the village. So we are going to send you with a cart that has empty crates and ambush these bandits. Truthfully the client doesn't care whether or not you kill them or just capture them to be thrown into a jail cell and truthfully neither does Tsunade but maybe if you could just bring back one of them back alive we will be willing to give you a little extra."

"I can't guarantee that there will be one left alive." Seth replied. "I've needed to let out some frustration and you giving me permission to actually kill a group of bandits is exactly what I need."

"Um, ok." Shizune said as she quickly took a step back. "The cart will be ready for you in about half an hour so be ready at the gate by then and try to dress up as a regular civilian so you don't alert the bandits."

"Whatever." Seth said as he started to walk away.

- Half an hour later-

Seth had just left the village sitting on the seat of a horse drawn cart that had the empty crates on the back of it. Seth was wearing a pair of black baggy pants and a grey vest with no shirt and was holding on to the ropes that connected to the horse's reins. He was told to go down the path that goes to the west and hopefully the bandits would take the bait.

After several hours of traveling Seth entered the area that the bandits were robbing from the carts. After about half an hour Seth finally heard something other than his horses and the birds in the trees. He thought he heard a twig snap and someone speak, but he decided that it was nothing more than an animal until a man carrying a massive meat clever in his right hand that looked to have dried blood on it stepped out in front of the cart forcing him to stop.

"Hey buddy." The man yelled. "Whats in those crates there?"

"Oh, these?" Seth said pointing back at the crates in the cart. "Nothing important, just some normal supplies and stuff and it seems that you're in my way so could you please move? I don't want to be late in delivering these."

"Well thats to bad because as of now those crates belong to me and my friends here." The man said while walking closer to the cart.

"What friends?" Seth asked.

"Them." The man said as he pointed behind Seth.

Seth turned around to see 20 men of varying height standing behind him. Each with a different weapon.

"Well, looks like it can't be helped." Seth said as he reached over and disconnected the horses from the cart and taking the ropes he slapped each horse on its rear getting them to run straight towards the man in front of him. The man rolled out of the way of the horses and then started to quickly walk up to the cart with a pissed of look on his face.

"What the hell was that for!" The man yelled. "We need those horses."

"I really don't care." Seth said as the man climbed onto the cart and pointed the cleaver at Seth's chest.

"Well we do and for that I'm going to kill you!" The man yelled as he pulled his arm back. The man then went to stab the cleaver into Seth's chest. Thats when Seth made his move.

Seth spun to avoid the cleaver and then grabbed the man's hand with his right hand and slammed the palm of his left hand into his elbow snapping it. Seth then pulled the cleaver from the man's hand and spun around once again and using the cleaver sliced the man's head off. Seth stopped the spin with his back turned to the other bandits as the first man's head fell to the dirt and a fountain of blood shot from the now decapitated body and covered Seth's right arm and splattered onto Seth's face. Seth then lowered his arm and dropped the cleaver onto the cart. He then looked over his right shoulder towards the group of bandits behind him and gave them a smile that said that he will have fun killing them.

Seth then jumped towards the middle of the group and summoned a great sword and upon landing cut one of the bandits clean in half from the top of his head the groin. He then spun to his left and cut of the legs of the man standing there and after he summoned a katana in his other hand stabbed the man in the head before he even hit the ground.

"HOLY SHIT, RUN!" One of the bandits yelled. Just then they all scattered running into the forest around them.

"Oh no you don't. I'm still not done." Seth said. "Deonaigh mise smacht thall gaoth!"

Seth then created thin layer of air and formed it into a half circle the cover a 200 foot diameter to trap the rest of the bandits.

For the next 2 hours Seth played a game of cat and mouse with the bandits until he had gotten to the last one.

"So, it seems that you're the last one." Seth said as he walked over to the bandit.

"Please have mercy. I will give you anything you want or do anything you want just please don't kill me." The man begged.

"Sorry I lost the ability to give mercy to others a long time ago." Seth said before stabbing the man in the heart with a katana. "Well, I need to clean myself off and head back. If I remember correctly from the map there is a river a mile along the direction I was heading. I don't think anyone will care if I take a bath there and was my clothes. Ardú mo luas!"

Seth started running along the path towards the river leaving the cart and carnage where they were. After a minute of running Seth finally arrived at the river and seeing no one around took off his clothes and started to bath and wash his clothes.

After about half an hour later Seth had washed the blood of him and failed at getting the blood out of his clothes went ahead and created a fire and dried them off. Seth had started back to the village until he felt the presence of a demon but it felt familiar.

"Naruto." Seth said as he ran faster than he ever has in the direction that he felt the presence was in. After a few minutes of running Seth suddenly felt the demon's presence get stronger and more malevolent. "What the hell is going on?"

Seth suddenly arrived at a bridge that was falling apart and when he looked closer he saw Sakura falling among the rubble, but before he could jump out to catch her several strands of what looked like wood reached out and caught her. Then Seth felt another spike from the demon and looked off in the direction it came from and he saw a deep canal that looked like it had been recently formed. So Seth jumped and landed in the canal and started follow where it headed.

After a few seconds of running Seth came to a weird sight. A field with a pasty white man standing on top of a tree branch that was growing right on the edge of a crater and standing in the crater was what looked like a very red animal with three tails. Neither of them had noticed Seth for they were having a stare down. Seth squinted his eyes to try and see the animal better but after looking at it for a few seconds did he realize that it was Naruto covered in a red substance.

"Naruto what the hell is happening to you?" Seth said to himself.

Suddenly the pasty white man's mouth moved and he started to say something but Seth couldn't hear him and he also was not very good at reading lips. But whatever the man had said had done something because a fourth tail started to sprout from the substance around Naruto and then his skin started to peel and flat within the substance. The weird thing was what was under the skin, not muscle but swirling colors of black and red that swarmed where the skin had peeled. Seth then saw the skin start to rise out of the substance but instead of coming out as skin it seemed to burn instantly and turn into black smoke that started to swirl around Naruto. Once the smoke completely enveloped Naruto Seth felt a sudden spike in the demons power. Just then Seth heard a monstrous roar and the sphere of smoke dissipated and a strong shockwave started to expand from the sphere creating a very hurricane like gust of wind.

"Deonaigh mise smacht thall gaoth!" Seth yelled as the shockwave reached him.

Seth threw his hands in front of him and created a gust of wind to counteract the gust from the shock wave, but unfortunately he forgot to protect the tree he was standing on and the tree was ripped from the ground which caused Seth to lose his concentration stopped creating his gust of wind and sent him flying with all the debris.

After the gust had subsided Seth climbed his way out of all the fallen trees rocks to see a massive crater easily 50 times bigger than the one he saw earlier, and right in the middle was a Naruto no longer with the weird substance covering his body but it looked as if his actual body took the shape that the substance had took. Naruto's eyes were nothing more than two big circles of light. What seemed to be ears were now protruding from the back of his head and his mouth looked like it had no lips just teeth, but within the mouth was only more light.

"Naruto." Seth said to himself. "What is happening to you?"
