Naruto's Demise

by hubball666

what would it be like if Naruto was as cold hearted as Sasuke?

2. Chapter 2

Naruto's demise 2

(This is what I thought Naruto would be like if he didn't have friends, but also had fox like features, more so than those whiskers he already has. HA plus I give him a scary fan club, no pairings, well not planning on any, but we shall see.)

Naruto didn't care, he didn't give a damn if one person lives or dies because no one ever cared for him no one ever gave a damn if he lived or died.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last time:

"You were all gathered here today for the important fact, that you all passed, some only just scraped the pass, but none the less you all passed" a chorus of cheers went up, yet the only sign Naruto gave of satisfaction was a slight smirk. He leaned forward and rested his head on his hands, obscuring his mouth from view.
"We will now set you up into three men cells, the first being….." he fazed out at this point, waiting for his name to be called, because he couldn't really give a damn who was in anyone else's group. "Group seven will be: Uzumaki Naruto"
"Hai" replied Naruto, bored out of his skull
"Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura"
He heard an excited squeal from behind him, and two sets of moving feet.
"G-good luck Naruto-kun, I-I think your going t-to need it" he heard Hinata whisper from next to him as she stood up. He let himself give out a small chuckle.
"I think your right there, thanks" Hinata couldn't respond because she was pushed out of the way by an overly excited Sakura. He forced his gaze away from the Hyuuga and onto an annoyingly bouncy blob of pink.

Shit, this is going to be a very trying experience
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This time

The newly formed team seven were the last team left in the hall. Waiting for there newly appointed Jounnin to appear. Sasuke was sitting on a chair; forcing himself to keep his eyes open, Sakura kept on trying to get Naruto's attention, while Naruto was meditating, building his chakra more and more. He opened his eyes a little when he felt he was as high as he could go, and noticed that the floor was getting singed again, and that his normally blue chakra had a faint red tinge to it. Sasuke seemed to have noticed this to, for he was now staring intently at Naruto. Sakura was still trying to get Naruto's attention and took his eye opening as a sign that she had succeeded.
"Naruto I was wondering if-"
"No"
"But-"
"No"
His brief lapse of concentration caused his built up chakra to disappear. I'm going have to make her shut up; otherwise she's going to ruin everything. So he started again, and again the chakra turned a faint red colour, and singed the floor. And again he opened his eyes, and again Sakura tried to hit on him, and again he lost his chakra and had to start again. This process continued for another hour before a white haired head popped round the door.
"Yo" it greeted, and walked in to the gigantic hall.
"YOU'RE LATE!" screamed Sakura, and pointed an accusing finger at the Jounnin.
"Well, I got lost on the road of life, then I had to help a cat from a tree, then I had to take the coffee beans from one store to another-"
"You were with Iruka sensei" stated Naruto whilst standing up. He saw Kakashi's only revealed eye open up in surprise.
"I'm sure that I don't know what you mean" replied Kakashi thanking the mask that hid his blush. "Everyone on the roof….. NOW!" he shouted when he saw that they weren't moving, and disappeared in a poof of smoke. Whilst Naruto's body flickered then disappeared.

"Now, where did a Gennin like you learn a Jounnin trick?" asked a calm voiced Kakashi.
"For me to know" replied Naruto, simply sitting down on the stairs and staring at his new sensei, his red eyes making the ninja uncomfortable. He saw that Kakashi physically relaxed when the rest of his team appeared.
"Right, sit!" and pointed to the stairs where Naruto was sitting swishing his tails out of boredom. Sakura instantly took a seat next to Naruto; Sasuke sat a distance away, either because he didn't want to get close, or because he was scared of Sakura. And with the way he kept on glancing nervously at Sakura he figured it was the latter. Naruto sighed, relaxed back into the stairs, leaning on his elbows that were behind him, and listened intently at Kakashi's words. His tails were moved out the way so they were resting on his lap, four on one side, and five on the other.
"Alright, if were going to work well together, we need to get to know each other, why don't you all tell me your likes, dislikes, hobbies and dreams" he gestured towards Sakura.
"Hai, well I like flowers, blossom leaves and-" she looked at Naruto, who was paying no attention what so ever. "And other stuff" she continued, "I dislike fighting, my hobbies are flower arranging and I have some dreams but there kind of stupid" she finished lamely, a slight embarrassed look on her face. Kakashi now looked at Sasuke to continue. "There's not much I like, and I dislike most things, I don't have any hobbies, but I do have an "ambition"… to kill a man" Kakashi nodded, and then turned to Naruto.

"I like training that's it, I dislike every villager, ninja whatever, in this horrible place, my hobbies are none of your concern, but I will reveal my dream to you" Now everyone was paying attention. "My one and only dream is to surpass all, to make them listen to me, to stop the looks that have plagued my life, now if you were expecting more, don't, that is as close as anyone will get to me" he looked at the ground "Ever" he finished.

Naruto sat in the Hokage's office, awaiting the old protector. When he appeared Naruto stood up and bowed. This man will be the only man I show respect to, everyone knows he has earned it.
"No need for formalities in my presence, except in meetings. Now I suppose you're here for your training?" he asked, awaiting his reply.
"Yes Hokage-sama" and remained standing, looking at the aged man through blood red eyes.
"Very well, meat me outside" and he disappeared in a poof of smoke, much like his sensei did. Naruto decided to do something other than the dreary smoke trick. So he ran forward and jumped through the Hokage's open window. He distantly heard the Hokage shouting "ARE YOU MAD?" before he turned in mid air and landed with ease onto the soft grassed floor.
"I see there was no need for me to have worried, another person your age would have fallen to his death from that height"
"Wasn't that high"
"Eleven stories is high for a youngster" he noticed the detestable look he got at this comment "Anyway, lets get on with your training" he walked over to a tree and stood under it. The tree easily providing enough shade for the two of them, with enough left over for a whole hundred more. "Now I know you have mastered the use of the Kage Bunshin, but do you know the other effects it has?"
"Like the fact that I get the knowledge of what it experiences? Then yes"
"Good, now I wont have to bore you" he looked up briefly at the leave filled tree "Now, I wont you to gather your chakra"
"Hai" so Naruto spread his legs, put his hands together, and began to build his chakra. After a couple of minutes of this, the grass around Naruto started to catch fire, only little sparks at first but they gradually got worse and worse. And his chakra seemed to have got a very faint red tinge to it, where everyone else's is only blue. His tailed flowed in the wake of him, like they were caught in a wind, and his hair became even more unruly, whilst his ears never stopped turning. His eyes also seemed to widen, the black slit getting bigger.
"Seems that Kyuubi can influence him more than I thought" whispered Sarutobi, intending for Naruto not to hear.
"Who's Kyuubi?" asked a now relaxed Naruto
"You heard that? You must have good hearing." He let out a stifled sigh, and began to explain about Kyuubi's past, and how the fourth had gone to fight him, and had sacrificed his life for this village, and how he also sealed the great fox inside him. He expected a roar of protest, or a cry of sadness, but what happened he didn't expect.
Naruto nodded, accepting this. "I always knew I was different, but at the same time I've never felt alone, ha, now I know why. Anyway are we going to continue?"
The Hokage looked at Naruto as though he failed the basics of life. He shook his head and then turned that look of weirdness, into an analysing one.
"You ok with the fox being there?" Naruto nodded, once. "Ok, well now I want you to gather your chakra again. But this time I want you to push past your limits, to go past that place that was locked before, to open that gate and leap inside"
Naruto needed no more orders, he had already begun to gather chakra, and he was at the red tainted stage quicker than before. But no matter how much he pushed he could only get the tinge, no more.
"Don't stop, your nearly there, keep pushing, look for a break in the wall"
Naruto had no idea what he was on about, but he kept pushing anyway. When he saw a slight movement, focusing on it he saw that it was a red part of his chakra, swirling. He concentrated on that piece, pushing further and further. He told me to find a break in the wall, but instead I've fount a switch. His blue chakra had now completely disappeared, and was now blood red. He felt the switch being pressed, and power flooded into him, widening his whiskers, making his tails erect and turning his hair red with black streaks. He saw with a clarity he never had before, and heard things that made his ears twitch, and smelled anew, the smells sometimes pleasant, sometimes the smells were disgusting. He felt a pain in his gums, and then felt a sliding of teeth as his canines grew, then a pain in his hands caused him to hold them up, and he noticed that his nails were growing to an alarming size. The power eventually hurt him, the pain becoming unbearable, so he pushed the power outside of him…..Bad choice. He made a crater at least twenty five feet in diameter around him, and had sent the tree flying away, burning unnaturally fast. The Hokage stood far away, a rock wall in front of him, yet that was almost completely demolished. Naruto could hardly stand, his flesh burnt, his view blurry, and his hearing and smell completely gone. He couldn't stand it any more and fell forward, a resonating crack sounded when his head met the scorched floor.

Naruto awoke, sometime later; he looked outside, a lot later. It was now dark, at least nine at night. He tried to sit up, but his stomach protested, so he lay back down and cringed when he landed on his battered tails. So he reached behind him and wrapped the tails around himself, them going round at least twice. He looked his body over, and was shocked, he fount his whole body was wrapped in bandage's. He also felt a weird tingling running down the length of his body. An uncomfortable one at that, and he couldn't do anything about it either. He rubbed his hand through his hair, then ran them up his ears, and fount them to be bandaged as well. He pinched his nose, but then quickly pulled away when pain shot through it. Dam it, just what was that power? Was it "his"? Then why did it hurt me so? He closed his eyes and let out a groan. Man that hurt, I didn't realise I could do that. Then remembered the incredible pain it brought. And I don't want to do it again anytime soon. He looked around his room and fount it to be a typical hospital room. White walls, one white comfy looking chair in the corner, no pictures, a drip running to his left arm, and a tiny cupboard next to him. He abruptly remembered the changes that happened to his body, hr was relieved to find his teeth were back to normal, but his nails were still long and piercing. Shame I'm to young to drink he thought bitterly, and then closed his eyes, wanting his assaulted body to heal quickly.

He awoke unhappily and suddenly, and looked around and saw a worried Sakura standing there, little eeps escaping her mouth. So that's why I was having dreams of a hamster he thought, and then groaned, about to pinch his nose, then remembered it was broken and resided with running his hand through his hair. He sat up, bearing the pain in his gut, and swung his legs over his bed, he'd have fell over if it wasn't for the Hokage's swift hands. He mumbled a quick thank-you and walked over to his room's door, opening it slightly and walking out. The Hokage and Sakura on his heal, both with apprehensive looks on their faces. Until eventually Sarutobi spoke up.
"Erm, Naruto you might want to get some normal clothes on before you go out." He stopped, looked down at his front to find it covered. Thank heavens for that. Then he looked at his back, and speedily walked back into his room, wanting to cover up his embarrassment.

They were back onto the training grounds that very afternoon, with Naruto making a full recovery, even if it was a lot earlier than it should have been. For now thought they were completely avoiding the chakra, and concentrating on his new training, cutting a leaf in half with only his chakra, but they came up with an idea of making this training go twice as fast. By using his Kage Bunshin's he could complete this training in a hundredth of the time it would take normally. But with the speed he was progressing at, it could very well take less than that. He had already managed to cut the leaf half way down in a matter of hours. He had achieved what it normally took other shinobi three years to do. Of course he had his shadow clones, but even with them it's a major feat, and his age makes it that even more amazing.
"Naruto break!" Shouted Hokage-sama. The clones disappeared, and Naruto almost collapsed with fatigue. He stumbled over to the Hokage, gratefully accepting the held out drink taking a massive drink.
"Your doing good Naruto, keep it up"
"Why…are…you…helping me?" he asked between breaths, the question had been niggling at the back of his mind for a while now.
"I also promised the person that id help train your elements until you get them down brilliantly"
"Who is this person who cared so much?" he really wanted to know "And why did he care about me? No one else does"
Sarutobi looked down at the kid that had to go through it all, and still managed to become one of the strongest Gennins around.
"Those are questions for another time, right now you need to train, now go!" he didn't need to be told twice.

Naruto went home that night exhausted, yet happy. Exhausted because of the training Happy because he completed it. He had just begun the next step when it tuned dark, and he could hardly stand up. He had to cut a waterfall in half, using only his chakra; it was hard to say the least. At least I get the day of tomorrow, I need the rest. When he opened the door, he was instantly hugged by a pink blur. He groaned, lazily pushed her away, and went to the kitchen to run his hands under water. "Why do you care about me?" he tiredly asked the girl when he got back, taking of his shirt, revealing his surprisingly good body, for a twelve year old anyway.
"B-because I -love you!" she blurted out, a blush that matched her hair staining her cheeks.
"Why?" he took of his trousers and climbed in bed. He waited for an answer, she gave none.
"Very well, then why are you here?"
"M-my p-parents are angry at me, and they told me get out, so I came here"
Naruto sighed. "Bugger it all" then got up and gestured to the bed, saying she could sleep here. He may not care for the villagers in large, but he had a soft spot for family troubles. No matter how much it disgusted him to admit it. He went into his closet, pulled out a blanket and pillow, and threw them onto his sofa. He locked his door, turned out the lights and clambered into his make shift bed.
"Night Naruto" called the lump from his bed
"Hn" was all she got in reply

He awoke in the middle of the night by a prodding in his shoulder. He snapped his eyes open, and then quickly closed them to the ray of light that came through the window, followed by a distant rumble and a whimper.
"Wah ya wan?" he asked grumpily, wanting to rest his red eyes, they wouldn't work properly otherwise.
"I'm s-scared"
"What can I do?"
"Stay awake" he was hoping she said I don't know.
"I can't promise anything" he stated while sitting up, and leaning on the arm rest on the sofa. She nodded her thanks and sat next to him, a little to close for comfort. He hated contact, one reason was that he was afraid that they'd hurt him if they touched him, and the other was because he didn't want anyone to get close to him.
It made it all that worse when another thunder bolt came which cause her to bury her face in his shoulders, muffled sobs coming for Sakura. He sighed, and wrapped his tails around her, causing her to give a little eep, his tails easily fitting around her petite frame. I'm and idiot for letting her do this he thought, as he drifted of into an uncomfortable sleep.

He woke up in the morning, to find Sakura still asleep. He untangled himself from her vice like grip, untangled him tails and stood up. He stretched trying to get the cramp out of his back. He noticed Sakura moving towards his tails that were still resting on the sofa, apparently for warmth. He quickly removed his tails and replaced them with the blanket. He only just realised that Sakura was only in her bra and panties….. Fuck, this is going to make things complicated. He scowled, then went to make some breakfast. He made himself some toast, got quickly dressed, then went over to the window, after making the door was locked. He was about to jump out when he figured he should leave a message. So he grabbed a pen and paper and hastily wrote down a note.

Sakura
Gone to meet team at bridge, help yourself to breakfast, door locked so other girls shouldn't be able to get in.

He paused, then added

See you later
Naruto

Well he couldn't seem like a complete ass. He took one look at the half naked girl, shook his head, then jumped out of the window, landing softly and sprinting of the bridge.

He got there, and fount he needn't have bothered running, no one was here. He walked over to the lake, taking a slight pleasure in the way it looked, the sun just rising and casting a warming glow, while lighting up the whole place by just enough to see by. The water wasn't to deep and there be a small waterfall to the right. He striped down to his boxers and wadded in.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu

Twenty Naruto's appeared, and all of them placed their hands on the waterfall.
"3….2….1…. GO!" shouted the real Naruto, and all of them began pumping chakra into the waterfall, he was relieved to see a little water give way around everyone's hands. Still a long way to go though, he thought bitterly, than began pumping it back into the waterfall.
He did this for about another hour until he heard a grunted greeting from a raven heard Uchiha. He turned, nodded, and then dispelled his clones. Bad idea, he was far to depleted to stand anymore an fell backwards into the stream, the water running over his nose and mouth, and blackness clouding his vision.

He would have died if it wasn't for Sasuke's quick actions, pulling him out and resting him against the bridges railings, slapping him on his back to make him cough up the water that had invaded his lungs.
"What were you doing anyway?" Sasuke pondered
"Element training"
"So you train by drowning?" mocked Sasuke, with a small smirk.
"No that's called fatigue ass wipe; the training is cutting the waterfall" he snapped.
"Well seems like you've got it"
Naruto sighed. "Not yet, I can cut it across, but that's a hell of a lot easier than cutting it up, because I can join my chakra with my clones" he looked at Sasuke
"The Uchiha's are fire users aren't they?"
"Yes, why you ask?" he asked, now on guard.
"Come over mine after the mission, I might have something to help you" he said, then got up, his legs shaking, his mind reeling, he vomited upon the bridge's floor, then stood up straight, nursing his aching back. He got dressed ignoring his wet boxers, it was either this or getting groped by fan girls, he'd choose wetness anytime. He started to whirl his tails around, effectively drying them of, and shook his head, getting most of the water of his unruly blonde hair.
"How do you keep it up? Your life"
"…..Stubbornness….."
Naruto heard the taping of feet coming towards the bridge, and turned his head to look. Shit…. It's Sakura; please don't mention the sleep over, please, please, please.
"Hey Sasuke" she looked over at Naruto and blushed a little "H-hey Naruto" she mumbled, the blush getting redder.
Should I say hi or not? Dam it, she spent last night in my arms and now I don't know what to do. I don't like her, love her whatever, I know that much, but she isn't half bad, just a bit obsessive.
"Hey" he greeted, giving a half wave and keeping his voice low. The kind that said I'll tolerate you, but that's it. But it was better than before, before it was piss of and you'll lose that ability to walk.
"Naru-" Sakura started, only to be cut of by Naruto.
"Kakashi is going to be late, so we may as well make our selves occupied." As soon as he finished he sat down and started to meditate, running through his mind and body's internal pathways, soothing out any imperfections.

He was bang on when he said Kakashi would be late, one hour, thirty five minutes and twenty three seconds to be exact. Sakura was keeping time.
"YOU'RE LATE!" shouted the infuriated Konuchi.
"I got los-"
"You were with Iruka" Splutter, covered by a practiced cough "Now what is our mission Sensei?" asked the peeved Naruto.
He could see him smile a little under his mask, his acute vision picking up little details.
"Well, seeing how well you all handle D missions, I thought I'd go and pick up a C mission for you to try"
"Thank god" interrupted the annoyed Sasuke.
"As I was saying, it's a C rank, nothing to difficult, but more interesting and gets you on the road; this mission will be to escort the bridge builder Tazuna back to his village, the village of wave"
"That back water place? Fair enough, be more fun than what's going on at the moment" Commented Naruto, in his own weird way of giving praise
"Yeah it'll be more fun" agreed Sasuke
Sakura almost fainted at the possibility of a whole three days with Naruto. Naruto noticed this look of wonder in her eyes, and groaned.

Were getting separate tents.
