THE BLOOD ANGEL
CHAPTER 20: DISCOVERIES
NOTE: welcome back my peons, here we are yet again. I've returned to continue rotting your brains with my works... if yer not brain-dead yet you have fortitude. The plot shall thicken in this chapter
WARNING; NARUTO SERIES SPOILERS
"Where is it!?" Daignmone griped as he frantically looked around the eastern edge of the rock village. His right wing twitching, as he was hunched over and rubbing his hands together like a crack head, as he seemed to look for something of dire importance "I don't know what I'm looking for but I need to find it! Something is here!"
He walked around looking around every rock, cactus, and tumbleweed for what ever it was he sought, as a figure watched him from atop a rocky ridge a ways away from Daignmone, who had his back to the figure the whole time
This figure wore an Akatsuki cloak. Black covered in red clouds
As the blood angel whipped his head from side to side, seeking the irritation of a part of his very being missing from him... or so it felt "Must find it, must find it, must find it" he said frantically "I'll deal with that guy on the ridge later" he said as his right eye twitched, going back to looking around
The figure up on the ridge turned out to be Tobi, who slowly pulled off his mask, and grit his teeth in anger "Dammit... he knows I'm here... I should expect as much from the Blood Angel... I can't believe he's real" he said then shook his head and put the mask back on "Gotta tell Pain about this... because Tobi's a good boy!" he said switching from his serious demeanor before turning around and dashing away and disappeared in seconds, in the small on-coming dust storm
Daignmone continued along, moving rather far from the outskirts of Iwa, moving along the foot of a rocky plateau, brushing the dead vines and desert plants off of it as he went, until he pulled off a small tree growing out the side of the rock, pulling vines down with it, and he noticed something all to familiar...
He saw the same ancient language his mother researched and his father knew, he pulled more and more vines and plants off the rock wall until he saw four vertical rows of seals, close together, and after a few feet of a gap another four seal lines
He read over the seals on the left "Huu el'ugor en orin, losu forrenth endoren ma'shan... goron'tu maal vedi ezzenth... delok korut un bael" he read out loud "The Rise of an Empire, stained in blood... to proceed demon and human alike... must suffer or die..."
He read over the seal on the right "Huu el'ugor en orin, ballium dii gin mo'ann en furatu, gren enn'denth, gorij brou'el nema'ar" he read out loud "The Rise of an Empire, strength from farthest darkness, you must sacrifice, or you shall not pass"
"Hhhmmmm... I'll leave this for now... I'll figure out what to do... if this is what I think it is I'm not stupid enough to try and open it" he aid before reaching into his jacket and pulling out a small book which he flipped open and read through
"According to my fathers book... his hidden temple was hidden in what was once called the desolate zone... a barren sandy and rocky wasteland... barely able to support what little plant life there was" he said before looking around as the dust storm finally reached him "Yep... this has to be the place" he said
--
Naruto sat on his bed with a lost look on his face... he looked around the room, him being the only one in it... then he trailed his eyes to the floor "Wow... what the hell happened to me over the last few weeks?" he said "I have five BEAUTIFUL wives, who are happily with me... There's an overly-powerful mass-murderer on the loose and I am powerless to do anything about it... I have not one, but TWO Kekkei Genkai... to bad I'm not good enough with either of them in battle yet... the Shintengan... how DO you use that in battle... so I can see spirits and when I learn enough about it I'll be able to rip a soul from a persons body... but knowing something of that caliber, I'd die in the process" he said
There had to be more to the Shintengan, then what he as seeing...
Before Naruto could ponder the mega life changes any further, the incessant ring returned to his head, and the headache quickly followed(not wanting to be left out of course)
"aaahhh" he hissed as he grabbed his head and dropped from the edge of the bed to his knee's and bent over, he felt his eyes continue to pulsate, and his right arm began to feel the pain again... like some sort of foreign entity in his body moving from his eye's down his arm, through the muscles, and tightly around the bone... it was the closest way to describe it
He then felt the pain go through his other arm, now both were in agony "Damn it... this sucks" he grit his teeth together
"Kit... why haven't... you t-told the females about this yet?" Kyuubi's strained and pain filled voice echoed through his head making the headache worse
"Because... I-I... don't want t-to worry them" Naruto said
After a minute or two, the pain subsided and he rose to his feet "I need to go talk to Tsubasa and Hiro" he said before goign over to the window, opening it and jumping ou, landing on hte ground outside before he dashed towards the portal
--
After a quick run he reached it, activated his Shintengan,
"Here we go" Kyuubi tensed up, awaiting the pressure upon his being, and Naruto entered, moving to the celestial plain
"Alright... Tsubasa-obaasama!" Naruto called out
after a few seconds she responded "Back again are we... you must like it here" Tsubasa said appearing next to him
"No... this place makes me feel... well... out of place" he chuckled "could you please take me to Hiro?" he asked
"No problem" Tsubasa nodded and put her hand on his shoulder and in a flash of light they were transported across the celestial plain, appearing next to hiro who walking over a large lake
"Oh so you're back for those answers huh kid?" hiro asked
"Yeah, please tel me you found something" Naruto said
"I'm sorry bud... I've talked to every Namikaze family member after me... none of them knew anything about it... but I DID find something out" Hiro said
"What's that?" he asked
"I've discovered that every new generation of the Shintengan, has developed new attributes for it, each varying until it being passed down to you... the Namikaze were commonly one child families, so that one attribute got passed down to the next who developed their own... in short, every Namikaze member advances the Shintengan further then their father or mother" Hiro explained and received a nod "For example... my father only developed the ability to see and communicate with spirits and harness their power... I advanced it to be able to damage the soul of an individual with attacks, my daughter advanced it to rip souls from the body, her son advanced it to solidify souls in the physical plain, and it goes on... after my daughter they began to be born with the Shintengan"
"jeese..." Naruto said "This sucks! I'm in pain and I can't figure out why, it may very well be an advancement but why does it hurt?!" Naruto said
"The human body is only so strong... it will not go without pain for every step in bloodline development..." Hiro said
"Hey... you talked to all of out family members right?"
"Pretty much"
"Can you take me to my father?" Naruto asked
"Sorry kid... can't... that's something you'll have to wait and see once you're dead and here in the celestial plain yourself... it'll hurt ess for you that way... trust me" Hiro said with a saddened look "but, as for now you should get back to you're physical plain..." Hiro siad
"Fine... but I'll need more help... if there's like eight to ten generations between you and me then that means I have allot of abilities to learn for the Shintengan" Naruto said
"Yes you do..." Hiro said
"Well... let's go back Naruto-kun" Tsubasa said
"Alright" he nodded and she put a hand on his shoulder "By Hiro" Tsubasa said
"See ya" Naruto said
"Later" he waved and they vanished in a flash of light
They returned to the portal "Thanks" Naruto said
"You're quite welcome... come back anytime" Tsubasa said
"Bye" Naruto said before exiting the portal and returning to his realm
Kyuubi was released from the crushing power and took in a sigh of relief "Damn! I hate going there" he said
"Just deal with it... if you do i'll figure out how to release you from my body..." Naruto said
"REALLY?!" Kyuuibi snapped with glee
"Under certain conditions" Naruto said
"Anything!! Just so long as I can get out of this cage" Kyuubi said
"Okay... it's a deal... you don't complain about the celestial realm, and I'll let you free under early said conditions, one; in which you are my partner, my ally, my friend... my back up. Two; you promise never to indiscriminately kill innocent people... animals included. Three; you treat the girls I love with respect. Four; you're power is to be used ONLY for what is right" Naruto said
"Damn... I might as well be you're slave, where's the fun in all that?" Kyuubi said
"Then you can just stay in me until I die and take you with me" Naruto said
"Fine! It's not so bad..." he said
"See... it think it's a good deal for you" Naruto said
His talk with Kyuubi had left the walk back quick and nearly non-existent, and he walked up to the front door and went inside
"Where did you disappear to?" Temari asked as he walked into the kitchen and sat down
"Seriously I went to our room to to tell you something but you weren't there" Tenten said
"I was thinking about thing's..." Naruto said
"Well allot has happened in a short period of time" Sakura said
"What did you want to tell me?" Naruto asked
"We've been called back to Konoha" Sakura said "A message came while you were gone. We're to return immediately"
"Really?" Naruto asked "well I guess we should pack our things" Naruto started to stand up
"Don't have to..." Hinata said pointing behind him and he looked to see their belongings all packed up and next to the door. He didn't notice them laying there on his way in
"Wait a minute there's seven packs there... there's only six of us" Naruto said
"that's because I'm going with you" Inari said running in from the back yard "Remember?"
"Oh that's right" Naruto said as he noticed Tsunami and Tazuna walk in behind him
"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Naruto asked them
both Tazuna and Tsunami nodded "I think he's old enough to go out in the world and train to be a ninja... especially if he's with six strong shinobi" Tsunmai said
"Well kid... I guess we'll see you later" Tazuna said "get strong and come back here to protect your home"
"Right! I'm gonna fulfill my dream! Finally the first step!" Inari cheered
"What exactly IS your dream Inari?" Hinata asked
"I wanna become a strong ninja and come back here to create my own hidden shinobi village to protect the land of the waves and it's people"
"That's really ambitious..." Sakura said "Any idea what you'd name it?"
"I haven't decided yet" Inari said
"Well we can have our brain storming as we walk" Temari said standing up "Let's go"
"Alright... it's time to move out" Naruto said
they grabbed their bags and Naruto saw the katana strapped to his pack "Oh, Tazuna, here... you can have this back now" Naruto said as he was about to grab it
"No don't. You can have it... train with it... think of it as a gift" Tazuna smiled "Same with you Tenten"
"Thanks" they nodded
They all got their packs on and walked out the front door
They didn't get far before Tazuna walked out after them "Hey Inari... come here..." he said
"Okay" ibari said before turnign to the others "Hold on one second please" he said before running over to Tazuna
"Whats up pops?" Inari asked
"Here... I got something for you too..." He said before sticking his hand in the bush next to the door and he pulled out a katana wrapped in a white cloth
Tazuna pulled the cloth off and showed him the white and black cloth hilt of the sword, and gold, diamond shaped hand guard, it had a white sheath with a gold plate around the end of it
"This is by far the best sword I've come across in my trading years... I've been saving it for you... you're mother would kill me if she knew I was giving this to you" Tazuna said
Inari's eyes lit up and he latched his arms around Tazuna in a bear hug "thank you grandpa!" he said before he grabbed the sword, he then realized the white cloth was tied to the gold, diamond hand guard. Looped into one of the diamonds points
"I'll make sure I use as best I can... I'll be responsible too" Inari saluted, before he put the sword on his back and looped the strap onto his body to hold it in place
"now go kick some ass" Tazuna said as Inari turned and ran towards the group catching up to them
Tsunami was looking out the second floor window and she smiled and shook her head "that father of mine" she chuckled "It's okay... Inari's not stupid"
The group of seven continued walking towards the now refinished bridge, and soon they were across it and on their way
--
Daignmone flapped his wings as he few through the air at high speeds, leaving a gap of zero air behind him
His eye's whipped side to side as he scanned the area below him "Ahah! Found you you little bastard... you got pretty far" he said before flapping his wings and flying diagonally down just aboe the tree's
Tobi turned his head and looked behind himself "Dang... he caught up quick" he said "But I'm not that easy to catch!" he kicked up his speed and began jumping from branch to branch at blinding speeds, seconds behind him Daignmone tore through the tree's, in which the branches off were no hindrance... even if multiple branches collided with is face
Tobi soon reached the end of the wooded area and launched into the air in a massive leap
Daignmone basted out of the tree's and pulled a small twig from his cheek, and a larger stick from his forehead
As the small wounds healed Daignmone was only feet behind Tobi who whirled around and preformed a flurry of hand signs before four pillar's of rock shot up from the ground below them and past Tobi but Daignmone impacted into them, cracking them, but less then two seconds later he pushed forward and tunneled through the rock and right into Tobi's face who he grabbed, latching onto his head and feet before hitting the ground he stopped and hovered there holding Tobi by the head
"now let's see what's behind door number... one!" he said pulled the mask off only to see a wooden blank face
"How the hell did I fall for that?!" Daignmone said before flinging the wood replacement in a random direction, just then he heard a sound. a whirling and flipping wind like sound
"what's that blasted sound...? it reminds me of hundreds upon hundreds of weapons flipping through the air in a cloud of death, heading straight for my personal space" he said JUST as every time of throw-able weapon man has ever conceived impacted into his body from all dirrections
By the time the weapons barrage ended, only about 25 of Daignmone's body was visible behind the shiny blood-stained metal weapons
He slowly lifted his hand and pulled a kunai that had lodged itself into his right eye socket, out "Son of a bitch" he said
Elsewhere, hidden in the leaves and bushes Tobi's arms went limp a his side "Damn... he's still alive... well... it IS the blood angel" he said before turning around and dashing
Daignmone spun around and the centripical force sent the weapons propelling from his body, and all of the wounds on his person began to heal, just before he dashed after Tobi sensing exactly where he was.
Daignmone disappeared in a blur and reappeared in front of Tobi and grabbed him by the throat stopping him in his track's causing his legs to whip forward in the recoil
"Gargh" Tobi choked
"Okay you little shit-tossing monkey... you're gonna tell me exactly who you work for!" Daignmone said "Let me get a look at your eyes" he reached up toward the mask, but Tobi grabbed his wrist "Don't touch the mask" he growled in a darker voice then before
"Ooohhh... hiding a hideous dis-figuration or something?" Daignmone chuckled, but now he was starting to sence a different aura about this one. He pulled his arm free
"Make you a deal... you live if you tell me everything you know, if not I'm going to start hurting you" the Blood Angel grinned
"nope... because Tobi's a good boy" he chuckled
Daignmone punched him in the face "Is he a good boy now?!" he asked with an irritated voice
"Yep" Tobi nodded
Daoignmone punched him twice in the face this time "NOW?!" he yelled
"Yep... Tobi's a good boy always bro" he nodded again
"God DAMN YOU!!" Daignmone yelled before he began relentlessly assaulting Tobi's head with punch after punch, eventually knocking his mask off and sending it to the ground with a few cracks in it
"Now show me your face you coward" Daignmone said
Tobi slowly turned his head from the left to the right until you could see his right eye, his black hair darkening his eyes in shadow
Daignmone's face took a skeptical look as what he saw was non-other then the menacing Sharingan(not that he knows what it is mind you)
Tobi's right Sharingan wheel spun around and instantly Daignmone was captured in his illusion
Daignmone looked around seeing a familiar house "this is..." he trailed off
"AAAAAARRGGGGHHHHH" he heard a scream
He turned around and walked to the window and looked into the back yard, seeing a small ten year old boy with shoulder long black spiky hair, curled up in a ball screaming "aaaaaaaaahhhhh-AAAAAGGGHHHH" he writhed in pain rolling on the ground and Daignmone turned to his left and saw a woman run from inside to the yard
"my god honey, are you alright!?" she asked frantically
"NOOO!! It burns!! It feels like I'm tearing apart on the inside! I'm seeing things mommy... memories I shouldn't HAVE!!" He cried, tear's pouring down his cheeks as he gripped his head with his fingers
"my god, whats happening?!" The woman yelled
The boy on the ground continued to scream in agony, as he writhed, and rolled over to his stomach, and two bulges came out of his back, and tried pushing through the fabric of his shirt. Then the bulge on the right pierced through the cloth and a liquid blood, angel wing shot out, the boy still screaming, just before the wing on the left shot out. They flapped and twitched as they straightened out
The boy's screams came to stop
"Daignmone... honey... are you all right?" the woman asked
"Never... felt..." Daignmone trailed off as he lifted his head and his hair turned red, his eyes now horizontal sits with red irises "...Better" he finished before turning around and looking at his mother before grabbing her throat and slamming her back first to the ground, as he began to drain the blood slowly from her body
"Dai-Daignmone... please... stop..." she said tears rolling down her cheeks
"I can't mother... I need blood..." he said with darkness in his voice, a sinister grin on his face
"damn you Ketsuro... god damn you to hell!!" she screamed before her face began to wither, and all the fluid in her body drained out... leaving a dried up skeleton with leather-like skin
The Daignmone inside the house smiled "Aaaahhh... good times, good times... well I'm done with this illusion now" he said before releasing red energy from his body, sending it outward, shattering the illusion
Daignmone looked around an Tobi and his mask were gone "hmph... I'll kill him next time" he said to himself
Zetsu melded his head from one of the tree's not to far behind Daignmone. He walked half way out of the tree "He broke the illusion in under five seconds... and just who is Tobi to cast an illusion from the Sharingan...?" He thought to himself before melding back into the tree and vanishing
--
After their travel Naruto, Inari and the girls walked into the Konoha front gates, heading down the main street towards the central building
They walked into the building and headed up the stairs
They came up to Tsunade's office door and knocked
"Come in" they heard, and they walked through the door into the office
"We're back, plus one" Naruto said
"ah Naruto, you're back" Tsunade said
Minato who was sitting on the couch perked up "Naruto?" he asked
Naruto turned to him "Yeah, hi" Naruto waved and then turned back to Tsunade "Anywa-" he stopped himself and turned to Yugito and Minato "Who are you two?" he asked
"Hey son" Minato said with a weak grin
"...he looks like the fourth hokage... and the fourth hokage is... my... dad" Naruto's arms went limp at his side
"Heheheheh... long time no see" Minato said nervously
Naruto turned to Tsunade "Is he seriously...?"
Tsunade nodded
Naruto turned back to Minato "d-d-d-d-d-dad?" he stuttered his eyes twitching
Minato nodded silently
Naruto gave a passive nod looking around the room at it's occupants, "heheheh it's my dad" he pointed with a chuckle looking at everyone, he put his hands on his waist and the small smile never left his face "Wooow..." he said... seconds before dropping to the ground unconscious
"NARUTO!"
