CHAPTER 7: GOODBYE, MY FRIENDS
ROTL Base
Sasuke leaves his room and decided to take a walk around the corridors of the base; the nightmares are too much for him. The latest nightmare he had was at the ROTL Base but completely destroyed and the members crucified and slowly dying. Sasuke shakes off the image off his mind.
"*sigh* I'm thinking too hard" said Sasuke as he reaches the training grounds.
He then watches Sakura sparring with Ino; he smiles to see Sakura improving her skills. He wouldn't want Sakura to die. He then feels pain in his neck; the Cursed Seal is acting up again.
"Now it would be a shame to see your precious Sakura killed by Naruto's hands" said the Darkness in Sasuke's mind
"GO AWAY!" shouts Sasuke as he held his head and grinds his teeth in anger.
The Darkness then forms into a copy of Sasuke in some strange marking and demonic eyes.
"I'm afraid I can't do that, I am you dark side, you negative consciousness" said Dark Sasuke "You want vengeance against your sister for murdering your clan"
"No, I don't want that, Vengeance bring suffering" said Sasuke
"Heh, HA HA HA HA HA, vengeance gives you power, power to overthrow that Dobe of an Overlord. Use the cursed seal against him and you'll end his tyranny" said Dark Sasuke grinning at Sasuke
"And I will become what I swore to destroy, forget it I'm not gonna use the Cursed Seal" said Sasuke
Dark Sasuke scoffed at Sasuke for his ignorance.
"Fine, but if Naruto attacks this base and kills Sakura, then you will have no choice but to use it" said Dark Sasuke as he vanishes
Sasuke drops to his knee and curses his weakness.
"Damn it; I'm too weak" said Sasuke as he cries.
ROTL Meeting room
Kakashi, Firion, Cecil, Jiraiya and Temari (A.K.A Kazehime of Ombré) talks about plans to strengthen their army. Then the spy Santo Angelo appears to give them valuable information.
"Ah Santo; what do you have for us?" said Kakashi
"Naruto is planning to invade Oto; he thinks that leaving Orochimaru alive would be a problem for him" said Santo Angelo
The ROTL Leaders (and Ombré spy) nods at this; if Naruto invades Oto he could take Orochimaru's experiments and create super soldiers for his evil ambitions.
"I say that we stop Naruto reaching for Oto by warning Orochimaru" said Kakashi "Despite him being our enemy, he is also Naruto's enemy and must be warned"
"That's right; the enemy of our enemy is our friend, despite him being a creepy pedo" said Jiraiya.
"So when do we act?" said Temari looking at Santo Angelo
"Naruto is attacking tomorrow; I say that we get there at dawn" said Santo Angelo until he looks at his watch "Erm, I got to go; Naruto will get suspicious if I'm here"
"I understand" said Kakashi "Good luck, Santo Angelo"
The cloaked spy nods and vanishes in thin air; Temari narrows her eyes as she is about to unveil Santo Angelo and inform her Master and lover of the spy's true identity.
"*Yawn* boy I tired" said Temari "I'll go get some rest for tomorrow, Night guys"
"Night Temari" said the ROTL leaders as they formulate a plan to stop Naruto invading Oto.
Temari's Quarters
Temari reaches her Quarters and locks the door; she opens the wardrobe and takes out her Cloak and emblem. Temari smiles as she remembers the day Naruto gave her the emblem of Ombré. As she wears her cloak, she presses the Emblem and vanishes in thin air.
Dark Tower: Naruto's room
Naruto is enjoying the view of his City; the Ombré knights are training with Zabuza, and the Arrancars arrives from Hueco Mundo to be tested by Grimmjow and Ulquiorra. Hana is busy breeding wargs, Salamanders and Dragons. The trade carts are passing through trading gold and stocks from allied villages. Naruto smiles as Temari, in her Alter Ego: KazeHime appears beside him.
"Report, KazeHime" said Naruto
"The ROTL caught the bait; they think you are attacking Oto" said KazeHime
Naruto chuckles as his plan is working.
"Perfect; I'll send in a small battalion to Oto to keep those rebels distracted while I send the main battalion to Iwa; their mines could be useful" said Naruto as he looks at KazeHime "Any luck on finding out Santo Angelo's Identity?"
"No; he is very skilled and kept his face hidden at all costs; but I know one thing about him though" said KazeHime
"Go on" said Naruto
"He appears to be masquerading as a slave of Ombré" said KazeHime "Someone that use to be a Konoha Ninja"
"I see... keep gathering info about Santo Angelo so I could flush him out" said Naruto as he returns to look at the view "You are dismissed, KazeHime"
"Hai, Lord Naruto" said KazeHime "Farewell, my love"
KazeHime vanishes back to the ROTL base; Naruto smiles as he's almost close of finding out Santo Angelo's identity.
"Greens" said Naruto
5 greens and Brainy are summoned before Naruto
"Master" said Brainy "What is thy bidding"
"Go to the Slave's quarters; if any slaves is acting suspicious, let me know at once" said Naruto
"At once" said Brainy "Let's go greens"
The 6 greens then vanish and heads for the Slave Quarters. Naruto then jumps to bed and decides to take a nap.
"Tomorrow the plan will be in action" said Naruto as he drifts to sleep.
Next day: Oto
Kakashi, Jiraiya and Sasuke walk to Oto; Sasuke decides to take some fresh air to calm him down. Kakashi understands this as the Cursed seal is starting to act and decides to talk to Orochimaru about this. Jiraiya came to some he'll make sure Orochimaru doesn't do anything stupid.
"Kukuku, so you came to visit me" said Orochimaru as he appears from the trees. "And you brought Sasuke too; how wonderful"
"Can it Snake, I'm only here to warn you" said Kakashi
"Warn me about what?" said Orochimaru
"Naruto is deciding to invade Oto and kill you" said Kakashi "And also to tell you to destroy this Cursed seal"
"Oh I'm afraid that is impossible; once the seal is on, it can never come off" said Orochimaru "It will corrupt Sasuke's mind and turn him into a power hungry tyrant; just like me and Naruto, Kukukukukuku"
"You were never great at sealing, aren't you Orochimaru" said Jiraiya
"Oh you can't blame me; Sarutobi never trusted me of that kind of these things" said Orochimaru "He sees pure evil within me, but not evil enough to defeat the greatest evil that will eliminate us. I appreciate the warning; but you are truly foolish, you should let Naruto invade Oto and you won't have to worry out me taking Sasuke as my new vessel"
"Like hell you'll take me" said Sasuke
"Oh but I will; soon Sasuke you will come to me whatever you like it or not" said Orochimaru as he leaves to warn his ninja.
Sasuke growls at this, he would never let Orochimaru get his way.
"Kakashi; is there any other way to get rid of the Cursed Seal?" Said Sasuke
"I'm afraid not; sorry Sasuke" said Kakashi "The only way to destroy it is Naruto; but I doubt he will help you and he's the enemy"
"What do you mean?" said Sasuke
"I did some information gathering about the Agents of Ombré after the destruction of Konoha and I believed that…Damonhart freed Anko from the Cursed seal" said Kakashi as he hesitated to say the name of the 5th Overlord
"We have to get the rest of ROTL before Naruto attacks" said Kakashi
"Hai" said Jiraiya and Sasuke as they return to ROTL.
Without them knowing, Naruto appears with a smirk.
"Foolish Rebels" said Naruto as he vanishes.
Dark Tower
Naruto looks at the army and the decoy army.
"You know what to do" said Naruto as the decoy army.
"HAI" shouts the decoy army as it marches towards Oto
Naruto then looks at the real army.
"Men; was march to Iwa" said Naruto "The mines will be good for gathering metals for upgrading weapons and armour."
"AT TEN-SHUN!" shouts Zabuza as he is in command of the army.
The army stood straight.
"AND TURN LEFT!" shouts Zabuza
The Army turns left toward the western gate of Ombré.
"AND NOW MARCH!" shouts Zabuza
The army of Ombré marches to war against Iwa. Naruto sweat drops at Zabuza.
"Is that really necessary?" said Naruto
"I just wanted to do that" said Zabuza sheepishly
"Whatever; let's go" said Naruto as he and Zabuza walks to Iwa.
Naruto's next invasion begins.
ROTL Base
Santo Angelo walks towards to Tenten's room; Temari notices this and follows him. Santo Angelo knocks on Tenten's door and waits for Tenten to open it.
"Oh Angelo-san, what could I do for you?" said Tenten
"I've come to see you" said Santo Angelo as he removes his hood.
Tenten was shocked to see who Santo Angelo really is.
"N-Neji-kun" said Tenten
Temari smirks as she now knows who Santo Angelo is.
Gotcha thought Temari
Tenten gave Neji a hug, she missed him very much; Neji smiles and returns a hug.
"I missed you so much" said Tenten
"So did I" said Neji "But I need to stay hidden and I trust you to keep my identity a secret"
"What about Lee?" said Tenten
"NO; no he'll blab it out and my cover is blown, if the Ombré spy Kazehime finds out, I'm dead for sure" said Neji as he held Tenten in his arms.
Neji then starts to kiss Tenten's forehead and right down to her cheek; Tenten blushes as Neji is showing his love to her. Tenten then pulls Neji into a passionate kiss and drags him to bed.
Outside Tenten's room, Temari smirks and casually walks to her room.
"You lose, Santo Angelo" said Temari as she chuckles in success.
Rice border
The ROTL and the Oto are for now on are joining together against Naruto's army. Kakashi waits for the Ombré army to arrive. Orochimaru didn't join the fight due to his injuries from the invasion of Konoha and he can't use any jutsus. Kakashi was relieved because Orochimaru freaks him out.
RUMBLE!
The ground starts to shake as the Army of Ombré arrives; it's only 10% of the army to distract the ROTL members.
"Here they come" said Kakashi as he, the ROTL and the Oto ninjas prepare for battle.
Iwa
The real army of Ombré are invading the hidden stone village; Naruto summons his minions to raid houses, shops and armouries. Sounds of scream from the Iwa citizens echoes in the battlefield.
"Stop them, we must defend the village until the Tsuchikage arrives" said the Iwa Jonin until "GAH!"
The Iwa Jonin got stabbed by the Ombré knights as they pass through. Naruto burns the Iwa ninja with his dark flame spell, they scream in pain as they slowly die and turn to ashes.
"HA HA HA, foolish Iwa ninjas" said Naruto as he summons the reds to burn the ninjas and blacksmiths that makes the kunai, armours and weapons for the Iwa ninjas.
BOOM!
The Tsuchikage tower blew up as a Dragon rider passes through.
"LORD TSUCHIKAGE!" shouts one of the Iwa ninja before he got killed by a green.
Naruto passes through the dead and dying Iwa ninja until the ground shook and broke open, Naruto falls in but grabbed on and climbed up to see the Tsuchikage in his battle armour (Like Sarutobi's but the same colour of the Iwa ninja's armour.)
"So you think you can invade my village?" said the Tsuchikage
"That's right, you mine could be a great addition to my empire" said Naruto
"Only if you kill me, but be warned though, I am not like the other Kages in the Shinobi Nation" said the Tsuchikage
"I guess you don't know who you are dealing with here" said Naruto
"Of course I know who I'm dealing with, you are Naruto Namikaze, Nephew of that bastard Yondaime" said Tsuchikage as he spat the word Yondaime "Also the son of that scourge of Ombré, Damonhart Namikaze the Shadow Demon of the Bloody Leaf"
"I see that you know my father, but that fool Yondaime is NOT my uncle" said Naruto
"Oh but he is, they are brother, I fought both of them in the Stone/Leaf war" said Tsuchikage as he reveals his scarred face and eye patch "Your father did this to me; he was not a Konoha ninja but he entered the fighting and slaughtered both the my fellow ninjas and the Konoha ninjas"
"I love to hear more of your history lesson but I got your mines to conquer" said Naruto
"LIKE I SAID; ONLY IF YOU KILL ME" shouts the Tsuchikage as he charges at Naruto
"So be it; STOP" shouts Naruto as time stop.
Naruto took out his sword and plunged it though the Tsuchikage's armour and into his heart.
"Release" said Naruto
The Tsuchikage falls to the ground dead; Naruto scoffs at the Tsuchikage and walks to the mines.
Iwa Mines
The surviving citizens of Iwa are all captured by the Ombré knights and Minions, the children cries of terror as they are scared of the minions. Naruto appears into the mines and stares at the terrified citizens.
"Now you have a choice; you will either live as my new miners or you will die painfully to be reunited with you fallen comrades" said Naruto darkly "And I promise you; you will die painfully that hell itself won't compare to"
The Iwa citizens are too scared to argue and agree to work as Naruto's miners.
"Good to hear it" said Naruto as he leaves the mines and talks to a nearby knight "chain them up"
The knight nods and he and the other knights chains up the Iwa citizens and gives them pickaxes.
Naruto grins as his conquest is a success; Ombré is getting stronger than ever. He took out his emblem and presses it to communicate to the decoys.
Rice border
The ROTL and Oto ninjas are fighting against the decoy army. The Ombré knight awaits his orders until he hears beeping. He took out his emblem and a holographic image of Naruto appears.
"What are your orders?" said the Knight
"The conquest is a success; abort immediately" said Naruto
"At once" said the Knight as the hologram disappears and the Knight signals the army.
The decoy army retreats and returns to Ombré, the ROTL and Oto ninjas cheers for victory as they won the battle. Kakashi is getting suspicious about this.
"This is not like Naruto is retreat in a battle like this" said Kakashi as he signals his men and returns to base.
Dark Tower: dark tower
Hinata is lying in bed enjoying her ice cream; she rubs her bulge and smiles as the baby will arrive soon. Then KazeHime arrives with a smile on her face, she knows who Santo Angelo is.
"Lady Hinata; I have some news that you and Lord Naruto would love to hear" said KazeHime.
Throne room
Neji is sweeping the floors and eavesdropping at the conversation of the guards.
"Lord Naruto is a genius; faking the information about the invasion of Oto" said Guard 1
"Shh; Santo Angelo will hear you, Baka" said Guard 2
"Oh relax; I didn't say that he invaded Iwa to get the strong metal for his army" said Guard 1
"Yeah; that ROTL Spy is too late to warn them, the mines are now in maximum security; the miners won't escape unless they want to die" said Guard 2
"Yeah; that would be a shame. Those females look hot, I love to have a piece of them" said the Guard 1
Neji widen his eyes at this; he must inform the base, and so he runs to his quarters until.
"Hold it right there"
Neji then sees Hinata and Kazehime.
"Lady Hinata; what could be the problem" said Neji
"Drop the charade Neji; I know you're Santo Angelo" said Hinata
Neji widened his eyes; how did she know? He hid his identity quite well.
"So; I'm caught at last" said Neji "Yes, I am Santo Angelo"
"Heh heh heh" said Kazehime "You shouldn't let yourself be seen; you never know that a spy like me could be in the shadows"
"Like you betrayed your comrade's trust for Naruto, Temari?" said Neji as he smirks as Kazehime.
Kazehime widened her eyes.
"How did you know? Said Kazehime as she took off her cloak
"During your 'Surrender' to the Kazekage and Naruto, I even saw you and Naruto…conciliating your relationships"
Temari blushes and Hinata growls at Neji
"YOU PERVERT" shouts Temari and Hinata
"I'm not proud of what I saw; if I tell that you are a spy to the ROTL, you will be executed for treason" said Neji
"Oh but you are to be executed Neji" said Hinata as she activates her Byakugan "You shouldn't betray you master"
"Like you betray your friends?" said Neji as he activates his Byakugan
"Those who shunned and tormented my Naruto-kun are no friends of mine" said Hinata "Temari, return to your duties"
"Are you sure; what of the baby?" said Temari of concern
"I'll be fine; I trained allot with Naruto during of vacation, before he made love to me" said Hinata as she poses in her Hyuuga stance "Prepare yourself Neji"
I have to win this or ROTL is doomed thought Neji as he charges at Hinata
Hinata and Neji throws their "Gentle fist" punches at the targeted areas and defended them, Hinata is getting faster and faster that Neji can't stop in time, he is getting pulverized by Hinata until Neji punched her in the gut.
"GAH!" screams Hinata as she falls to the ground.
"Forgive me" said Neji as he runs to escape; the knight tries to stop him but he stuck at their hearts and died. Neji continues to escape.
Hinata slowly tries to stand up but failed; she starts to cry, worrying if Neji killed her baby. If he did, she'll scream in anger and wanted his blood.
"Lady Hinata" shouts the arriving Knights as they see Hinata on the floor.
Naruto enters the throne room until he sees that shocked him.
"HINATA" shouts Naruto in worry as he rushes to help Hinata up "What happened?"
"Neji; known as Santo Angelo attacked Hinata so he could escape" said one of the Knights
Naruto growled with rage, he gives Hinata to the knight to be sent to see Tsunade. Naruto then looks at the door.
"AGENTS!" shouts Naruto
The Agents of Ombré appears in front of Naruto and bows in respect.
"What are your orders?" said Iruka
"Find and Kill Neji; He has hurt my Hinata-Chan FOR THE LAST TIME!" shouts Naruto
Infirmary
Tsunade is checking on Hinata and the baby's condition; she places the stethoscope on Hinata's bulge to hear any vital signs, fortunately there is a pulse and Tsunade smiles.
"You baby is fine, she manage to survive Neji's attack" said Tsunade
Hinata cries in relief and snuggles into Naruto's chest.
"Is there any bad news?" said Naruto, concerned of the baby's health.
"I checked the ultrasound images to see if the attack hadn't disrupted the baby's growth, and I'm afraid to tell this but…" said Tsunade, wouldn't want to tell Naruto and Hinata.
"What, what is it" said Naruto as he grabs Tsunade's shoulders "WHAT WRONG WITH MY CHILD!"
"She is missing an arm" said Tsunade trying not to cry.
Naruto is now furious; he swipes the medical tool off by rage.
"GRRR, DAMN YOU NEJI!" shouts Naruto as he drops to his knees and sobs as he starts to imagine his daughter having only one arm.
"LET ME THROUGH; I NEED TO SEE MY NEICE!" shout Hizashi as he barge in with worry in his face "Hinata"
"Uncle" said Hinata as she hugs her worried uncle.
"I've heard what Neji did; how could he do such a thing" said Hizashi angrily, he then looks as the sobbing Overlord "My lord; permit me to personally punish my son"
Naruto stops crying and looks at Hizashi with malice in his eyes.
"Granted" growled Naruto
Hizashi then takes out his emblem and communicates to the Agents.
"What is it, Head Agent Hizashi?" said Iruka
"Abort the mission; I'll deal with the traitor personally" said Hizashi
"At once" said Iruka as he hangs up.
Hizashi then walks to where the Hyuuga Clan now resides. Naruto is busy comforting her worried and angry mistress.
"Don't worry Hinata-chan; I'll still love my child no matter what" said Naruto
"Naruto, can you do your Mistress a favour" said Hinata with no emotion in her voice.
"Anything" said Naruto
Hinata glares at Naruto with fury in her eyes.
"I WANT HIS HEAD" growls Hinata
"I promise you, he will pay for hurting you and my daughter" said Naruto as he kisses her forehead and leaves; he looks at Hinata with his eyes glowing red "And his head will be yours, my hime"
Outskirts of Ombré
Neji managed to escape the city and from the agents, he just saw them retreating.
"Why would Naruto retreat his best soldiers?" said Neji as he rushes to ROTL base since the Waypoint gate are closed.
Ombré: Hyuuga Compound
Hizashi rounded up the Hyuugas to tell them the tragic news.
"My people, I have come to be the bearer of bad news; Neji nearly killed Lady Hinata and her child" said Hizashi
The Hyuuga widen their eyes; Hinata was always kind to them since they were marked with the Caged Bird Seal.
"That bastard; how could he do that to Lady Hinata" said one of the Hyuugas
The Hyuuga agrees and shouts in fury at Neji for doing such a thing, Hizashi signals them for silence.
"But I also came to say that Lady Hinata and the child are fine, but the child is missing an arm; I say that we hunt down the traitor and BRING BACK HIS HEAD!" shouts Hizashi
"YEAH!" shouts the Hyuugas as they take their swords, kunai and other weapons to hunt down Neji.
The Hyuugas are leaving Ombré with Naruto's permission to hunt down Neji.
Neji
Neji took out an emblem of the ROTL to signal the ROTL leaders.
"Hello, this is Santo Angelo, I need help" said Neji
ROTL base
The ROTL leader are getting a message from Santo Angelo, a holographic image of Neji appears.
"N-Neji?" said Kakashi in surprise
"I don't have time to explain; my cover has been blown by Kazehime, I also know the Identity of KazeHime"
Temari is getting restless; if Neji reveals her true identity then she has to flee.
"Who is she?" said Firion
"I'm afraid I can't tell you yet; I'm in danger now that Naruto probably sent his Agents to kill me" said Neji until he hears angry yells and sees the Whole Hyuuga Clan "Oh shit, it's the Hyuugas; they must know what I did to Hinata. Please help me, I need assistance immediately"
The Hologram ended and Kakashi sighed.
"We must rescue Neji; he has valuable information we need to know about Naruto" said Kakashi "I'll form up a rescue party"
Training grounds
Sasuke is meditating; he is trying to channel large amounts of chakra in his systems until he feels pain in his neck.
"Stop interfering" said Sasuke
"I just want to help, he he he he" said Dark Sasuke
"Piss off" shouts Sasuke
"Sasuke-kun?"
Sasuke turns to see Sakura looking worried.
"Are you alright?" said Sakura
Sasuke looks down and sighs
"It's the cursed mark, isn't it?" said Sakura as she sit's by Sasuke.
Sasuke nods at the answer.
"I…I've been having nightmares, ever since Orochimaru gave this blasted seal, I also been hearing a voice to persuade me to use it" said Sasuke as he sighs "Every time I ignore the voice, the nightmares gets worse and I start to go insane. Tell me Sakura; am I a monster?"
Sakura gasps and slaps Sasuke's face.
"DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT" shouts (not screech) Sakura "We can help you; the curse seal will torment you, but you are strong Sasuke; body and soul"
Sakura then leaves, Sasuke smiles to see Sakura doesn't see him as a monster.
"Thank you Sakura" said Sasuke until he sighs "But I must stop myself from hurting you"
Sasuke then runs to his room grunting in pain as the cursed seal is acting up again. Without them knowing, a mysterious hooded person appears from the shadows quietly follows Sasuke.
ROTL meeting room
Kakashi summoned Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba and Shino to the meeting room. Shikamaru yawns in boredom, Choji is munching on his usual snacks, Kiba is having a conversation with his trusted companion Akamaru and Shino is being…well, Shino.
"May I have your attention please" said Kakashi
The 4 members silenced and look at Kakashi.
"Thank you, you may notice that our spy Santo Angelo has been spotted by the enemy, you are here to find and rescue him" said Kakashi "I will you who Santo Angelo is"
The 4 paid attention as they are all curious about this mysterious Santo Angelo's secret identity.
"Santo Angelo is none other than Neji Hyuuga" said Kakashi as he sees the shocked expression from the 4 member's faces "Yes, I got that expression when I found out, but you must rescue him at once"
"Does he have any info that we need to know" said Shino
"Yes, he knows who KazeHime really is" said Kakashi "That info is vital to our organization, do you understand?"
"HAI" shouts the rescue party
"Then good luck" said Kakashi as the Neji rescue party vanishes to rescue Neji. "And god speed"
Ombré border
Neji is running out of breath as he is being chased by an angry mob of Hyuugas. Neji growls as he sets up traps to slow them down.
Miles away, Hizashi activated his Byakugan and sees Neji setting up traps and smirks.
"Foolish Neji, completely foolish" said Hizashi as he and the Hyuuga continue to give chase at Neji "LET GET HIM MEN!"
"YARR!" shouts the Hyuuga as they charges at Neji
Neji widen his eyes as his traps aren't ready.
"No" said Neji
BOOM!
Dark Tower
Naruto watched an explosion light up in the forests in his domain, he then looks away and puts on his armour. He looks at Hinata with no emotion in her face and the mistresses are trying to make her happy, Naruto sighs as he walks away, see Hinata like that breaks his heart.
"I give you Neji's head, I promise" said Naruto as he puts on his masks and summons his minions "Minions, we got a head to collect"
The minions cheer and rush to kill Neji.
"You destiny has arrived, Neji" said Naruto darkly
Ombré border
Neji is fighting off the Hyuuga but he is struggling, he crashes into trees and slams into the ground hard. Neji coughs up blood from his mouth when Hizashi appears in front of him.
"I am disappointed in you Neji; trying to kill a pregnant woman and a family member" said Hizashi
"She is NOT family; and neither are you" said Neji angrily "You abandoned me; I believed that you were dead, I MOURNED EVERY DAY IN MY FUCK MISERABLE LIFE INYOUR SO-CALLED GRAVE!"
"I did what I had to do, for my lord and master" said Hizashi
"Why, why would you work for that bastard Overlord" said Neji
"BECAUSE HE SAVED ME FROM THE BURDEN, I WOULD TAKE YOU SO YOU LIVE FREELY BUT YOU ARE TOO LOYAL TO MY BROTHER THAT YOU FORGOT ABOUT ME" shouts Hizashi
"NO, how could I?" said Neji sadly
"Because you forgotten who you really are, so you've forgotten me" said Hizashi "But now it's too late; time to pay the price for the crime you committed to Ombré, Lord Naruto, Lady Hinata and more importantly their daughter."
Neji is too weak to move or defend himself; destiny is no longer on his side.
I failed; sorry ROTL thought Neji as he awaits his fate
Sasuke's room
Sasuke took out a kunai and aims it at his heart, he is about to commit suicide to prevent the cursed seal taking over.
Goodbye, my friends thought Sasuke
Outside Sasuke's room
Sakura just finished her training with Kakashi and decides to go to her room.
I wonder if Sasuke is alright thought Sakura as she stops by Sasuke's door I'll check just in case
KNOCK KNOCK
"Sasuke; are you okay?" said Sakura
There was no response
"Sasuke?" said Sakura then she sighs as she opens the door "Look; I know the cursed seal is a problem for you but you shouldn't let in…"
Sakura widen here eyes to see what truly shocked and terrified her, Sasuke on the floor with a kunai in his heart, and to make things worse the Sasuke is holding the kunai.
"SASUKE!" screams Sakura as she rushes held Sasuke's dead body in her arms "NO; NO NO NO NO NO, DON'T DIE ON ME PLEASE!"
Sakura cries over Sasuke's body; Kakashi rushes in to see what's the problem.
"Sakura, what wro…Oh no, SASUKE" said Kakashi as he rushes in.
Kakashi check's Sasuke's pulse but he was unable to find it. Kakashi looks at Sakura in sadness.
"I'm afraid that the cursed seal is too much for him that he commited suicide" said Kakashi sadly until he sees a note in Sasuke's hand.
Kakashi takes the note off Sasuke's hand and reads it.
To my good friends
If you are reading this then I am dead, I am sorry but I have to do this but it's for the best for I just die or the safety of my friends will be in jeopardy…
Kakashi continues to read and sobs as Sasuke did this for his friend, it was not Suicide but self-sacrifice.
The ROTL member arrives to see the tragedy of Sasuke's death.
"Prepare a funeral for Sasuke Uchiha…death by…saving his comrade from a terrible evil that was soon to come" said Kakashi sadly that he tries not to cry.
The ROTL nods and respectfully carries Sasuke's body to be buried with the other fallen member of ROTL.
…so my friends, I will see you on the other side and for now Goodbye, my friends.
Sasuke Uchiha
Last of the Uchihas and a noble friend
Kakashi stops reading and held the crying Sakura in his arms.
"It's okay Sakura, he has to do it or we'll die by his hands" said Kakashi as he hugs Sakura. "Come, let's pay our respects"
Sakura nods and leaves with Kakashi, Kakashi sighs as a tear seeps out from his lone eye.
You did the right thing; I'm proud of you thought Kakashi. May you rest in peace
Ombré Outskirts
Neji awaits his fate as Hizashi comes closer to kill him.
"Any last words, Neji?" said Hizashi
"YEAH I GOT A FEW; FANG OVER FANG!"
2 cyclones appear and crash into Hizashi. Hizashi flew back into a nearby tree; Hizashi recovers and glares who dare intervene. Kiba (and Akamaru), Shino, Choji and Shikamaru appears in front of Neji.
"What took you?" said Neji painfully
"We haven't been to this place before so sue us" said Shikamaru "Shino, Choji; go get Neji to the base, me and Kiba…"
"ARF!" barks Akamaru
"*sigh* and Akamaru too, will take care of these guys" said Shikamaru
"You know you shouldn't get involve; this is family affairs" said Hizashi as he activates his Byakugan.
"You're right; I shouldn't get involve but it's too troublesome if I fail again and again all over" said Shikamaru.
"Then I will give you one chance to walk away" said Hizashi "I don't have time to deal with worms such as you"
"Oh shut up and FIGHT!" shouts Kiba as he charges at Hizashi and the Hyuugas.
The Hyuugas are about to strike at the 2 ROTL members until they can't move.
"Uh uh uh, stay where you are, Kiba hates it when some intervenes in a fight" said Shikamaru as he used his Shadow Possession Jutsu on the Hyuugas. "And I rather not hear the dog-boy and his mutt complain, it's too troublesome"
Choji and Shino
Shino is treating Neji's wounds while Choji is keeping watch.
"Thank you guys; I thought I was a goner" said Neji
"Just doing our job" said Shino "Once we reach the base, the better. Hey Choji; is the coast clear?"
"Yep, we can reach the fast route by the Valley of end and then…"
BOOM!
The trees shatter into splinters and another explosion sound echo and hit the ground. A cannonball was fired, the 3 then looks to see the Dark Eclipse sailing in the nearby river.
"Don't get comfortable yet; ROTL SCUM"
Kestrel Claw and his crew then sail to the side and jumps off the Dark Eclipse. The 3 ROTL members are on surrounded.
"You disgusting filth; think you can hurt a woman who is giving birth to a beautiful baby?" said Kestrel in disgust of Neji's previous actions "You should be ashamed of yourself"
"Maybe what I did was dishonest; but then maybe that bastard Naruto won't have an heir in the future" said Neji as he smirks at Kestrel
"Oh sorry to disappoint you, baby-killer but the child survived and I will make sure that the child and its mother is avenged" said Kestrel as he took out his sword "Alright men, CHARGE!"
The KG pirates charges at Neji until
BUZZ!
A swarm of insects surrounds the KG pirates as Shino summons them to distract Kestrel and his crew.
"Choji, get Neji to the base" said Shino "I'll slow them down"
"Right" said Choji as he takes Neji to the path at the Valley of End.
The KG pirates at swatting the insects away until they drop down like… well Flies, The grass and leaves starts to dry up and wilt as Kestrel uses his Heat-Heat fruit powers.
"I hate bugs" said Kestrel as he holds his sword and heats it up.
Shino summons his insects and sent them to attack Kestrel again, Kestrel sways them with his heated blade and charges at Shino.
CLANG
Shino blocked the sword with his Kunai, unfortunately the kunai starts to melt and Kestrel gave Shino a horrible gash on Shino's chest until Shino scatters into thousands of insects. Kestrel growls as insects swarms over to him, Kestrel heats up and the insects dies from the increasing heat.
"Don't bug me, bug boy" said Kestrel
"That's a bad pun, you know that?" said Shino as he appears behind him and sends his insects to devour his chakra, that's what he thought.
Kestrel still stands and heats up again to get rid of the insects, Shino widened his eyes behind is shades as every insect around him dies out from the heat.
"Heh heh heh, Oh dear, looks like I'm causing drought for your little friends" said Kestrel as he grabs Shino by the neck and evaporating the water from his body.
Shino screams in pain as the heat is entering his system and the insects inside him are flying away and dying. Kestrel smirks as Shino is slowly dehydrating from Kestrel's Heat-Heat fruit powers. Kestrel then drops Shino to the ground, completely weak of dehydration.
"Looks like the bastard got away" said Kestrel
"Should we go after them?" said one of the KG pirates
"Don't bother, they're reaching for the valley of End, I have strict orders to never go there if I want to live" said Kestrel
"What about the ROTL rebel?" said the same KG pirate
"Leave him there to die, I hope the wolves like dried up meat" said Kestrel as he walks to the Dark Eclipse.
Kiba and Shikamaru
Kiba is struggling as Hizashi is overpowering him, Shikamaru is losing too much chakra as he is about to dispel his jutsu that keeping the Hyuugas at bay.
"Hurry up Kiba, I'm running out of Chakra here" said Shikamaru
"I think we kept them at bay far too long" said Kiba as he dodges Hizashi's blows "on the count of 3, we leg it okay?"
"Okay, 1" said Shikamaru
"2" said Kiba
"3!" shouts Kiba and Shikamaru as they stop and starts running.
Hizashi narrows his eyes and growls at the 2 ROTL members.
"Lord Hizashi, should we go after them?" said one of the Hyuugas
"Don't bother, they're not worth it" said Hizashi "And besides, they're reaching for the Valley of End"
Valley of End
Neji and Choji reached the Valley of End; it was known to be the infamous battlefield that the Shodai, Madara and the First Overlord thought against each other. By the waterfall are 2 100ft statues of the Shodai Hokage and Madara Uchiha. Neji and Choji take a breather as they have a long way to go.
RUMBLE
Neji and Choji feels an earthquake and sees what terrified them, another stature rises up from the valley reaches up facing the 2 statues. The 3rd statue is of a man in a clad of dark intimidating armour, it's eyes glow in yellow as the skies turn dark and thunderstorms booms out.
"Amazing isn't it?"
Neji and Choji then see Naruto in his armour standing on the Overlord Statue.
"This is the famous battlefield where the Founders of Konoha and Ombré fought each other, my ancestor made a shortcut to his kingdom from Konoha so he could "Keep an eye" on them" said Naruto "And now history will be repeated, well at least I'm the Overlord and I can only picture you as the Shodai, Neji"
"You won't get Neji, you bastard" shouts Choji as he charges at Naruto
"Oh I almost forgot about you Tubbs, SLEEP"
Choji stops and drops into the valley as he sleeps.
"No more interruptions, you will pay for hurting my Hinata-chan and you will pay with your head, literally" said Naruto as he took out his sword
"I won't be defeated, I can't" said Neji "I need to reach for the ROTL base and warn about KazeHime"
Naruto charges at Neji
"The only thing you should worry about…is your life" said Naruto as he reaches for Neji's head.
Dark Tower
Hinata is just sitting there in her lover's throne rubbing her bulge, until she then clutches her stomach and screams in pain.
It is time…
Valley of End
BOOM
A thunder boom echoes into the great wonder of the Shinobi Nations, Naruto, the Maelstrom Overlord is facing against Neji Hyuuga, known as Santo Angelo. Neji runs around the valley, placing paper bombs around the cliff walls so Naruto will never escape. Naruto look around and smirks at Neji.
"Clever Neji, but foolish" said Naruto as he raises his gauntlet in the air and a horn-like sound echoes in the wind. The cliff walls starts to shake as browns, reds and blues appears out from the Cliff walls. "Kill him"
The Minions then charges at Neji, Neji activates his byakugan and puts up offensive stances.
"8 trigrams, 64 palms" said Neji as he performs his attack on the upcoming minions, however the blues stayed behind and drags the dead browns and red to dry land and resurrects them, the blues are used as healers, Neji grinds his teeth as the fallen minions rose up from death and charges at Neji again.
Neji performs the same move again but the browns and reds keep getting resurrected by the blues again.
When Neji performs his 10th 8 trigrams, 64 palms move at the minions, he is starting to feel weak from Chakra exhaustion; he glares at Naruto, who is smirking at Neji.
"You think you're so powerful with your little demons?" said Neji "You're pathetic Naruto, you are destined to be weak"
Naruto narrows his eyes and halts the minions and dismisses them.
"Don't bother taunting me, Neji; I didn't summon them because I'm weak" said Naruto as he performs a hand sign "I was just toying with you, make you suffer before you die; consider it payment for attempting murder of my Hinata-chan and my Child. Dark Haze Jutsu"
The Valley is now blanketed with a thick black haze, Neji then hears a huge SPLASH!, Naruto landed on the surface of the lake in the valley, Neji can hear footsteps on the water's surface as a Naruto is drawing closer towards Neji.
Dark Tower
Hinata is screaming in pain, her dress is stained as her water broke. The Knights heard her screams and rushes to get Tsunade and Shizune. Hinata is getting scared and she wants Naruto is comfort her.
"N-Naruto, where are you?" said Hinata painfully as she can feel her child kicking inside her.
Ombré Outskirts
Shikamaru and Kiba are running to get Neji back to ROTL base until they notices a dehydrated Shino. Shikamaru and Kiba caries Shino to a river and re-hydrates him by throwing him in the river, a few minutes later Shino is now hydrated, but still weak as the chakra was keeping him alive from lack of fluids in his body.
"T-Thank you" said Shino weakly
"Do you need help getting up?" said Shikamaru
"No, I'm fine" said Shino "We need to get Neji to safety before it's too late"
Valley of End
But the 3 ROTL members were too late as Neji screams in agony as Naruto swifts pass him and large gashes appears on Neji's arms, legs and chest. Naruto was about to reach for the head until…
CLANG
Neji managed to stop Naruto, sword reaching his neck.
"I won't die, I have come this far and I MUST SUCCEED!" shouts Neji as he charges at Naruto with a kunai in his hand.
CLANG
CLANG
CLANG, CLANG, CLANG
Naruto blocks Neji's swipes and slashes, Naruto tries to behead Neji once more but failed as Neji blocked the slash again with his Kunai, Neji Grunts in pain as the gash starts to bleed and Neji starts to feel weak from exhaustion and blood loss. Naruto smirks at this and kicks Neji's wounded chests.
"GAAAAHHH!" screams Neji as he is kicked into the water.
SPLASH!
Neji floats into the water; the lake turns res from Neji's blood. The clouds grew darker and it begins to rain, the raindrops starts to fall and bounces off Naruto's armour and sword. The blood on Naruto's blades gets washed off from the rain until it's completely clean. Naruto slowly walks towards Neji and grabs him by the Collar. He then looks at him in the eyes and growls at him.
"So, that's it? You'll just lie there and await death is claim you?" said Naruto as he puts Neji back to his feet, he then throws a short sword to Neji and catches it. "You could at least die as a shinobi and not a defeated weakling, come at me with EVERYTHING you got"
Neji looks at the sword and glares at Naruto with his Byakugan activated eyes filled with rage. His then charges at Naruto with EVERYTHING he got, he furiously swipes his Sword at Naruto but was blocked by him, and the valley is filling with metallic clangs and sparks as the sharp metal blades touch each other.
The Battle keeps on going, the 3 ROTL arrives to the Valley and sees the sleeping Choji, Shikamaru wakes up Choji by taking out a packet of crisps and starts eating it, at the last crisp Choji woke up immediately and took the last crisp off Shikamaru and devours it.
"No one takes the last bite, but me" said Choji angrily
"Welcome back Choji" said Shikamaru as he places his hand on his old friend's shoulder "What happened here?"
Choji then got worried and scared.
"Terrible news, Naruto just arrived" said Choji
"WHAT!" shouts the 3 ROTL (yes, including Shino)
Then they hear metallic clangs echoing in the valley, they rush to see a dark black Haze blocking their view. Neji is in trouble, Naruto is blocking his slashes and slowly killing him, the 4 ROTL members are about to enter the haze when they were interrupted by the red minions and blocked their path by large flames.
In the haze, Naruto smirks as he held Neji by the throat and readied his sword. The Haze starts to fade and his and Neji are visible to the ROTL member's eyes. Naruto then looks at the ROTL an grins at them.
"Oh, so you came to rescue him, but you're too late" said Naruto as he places his sword by Neji's throat. "You failed…again, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA"
"Laugh all you want, but you will eventually fall Naruto" said Neji angrily
"Yes that is true, but…" said Naruto as he loped his fucking head off and seals it in a scroll "…Evil always finds a way"
"NOO!" shouts the ROTL member as they were about to charge at Naruto until Iruka came with worry in his face.
Naruto casts STOP at the ROTL members so he could listen to Iruka's news.
"My lord, it's Lady Hinata" said Iruka "It's time"
"WHAT?" said Naruto in shock "I'll be right there"
Then suddenly Naruto summons a waypoint gate to the Dark Tower and enters it to be with Hinata.
The spell wears off and the ROTL members are free, they then drops to their knees as their fellow comrade as fallen by Naruto's hands.
"It appears that we now have 2 funerals" said Shikamaru as he lower his head.
The other 3 slowly nods and they to lower their heads in respect, they then carry the beheaded corpse of Neji Hyuuga back to the ROTL base, so they came give him a proper burial. The 2 prodigies of Konoha are now gone, but not forgotten.
Ombré: Infirmary
Naruto rushes to be with his beloved Hinata, Hinata is breathing heavily as she is given birth, the help of Tsunade. Hinata gave a tearful smile to see her Naruto by her side; she held his hand and hears Naruto comforting her.
"It's okay Hinata, just relax take deep breaths" said Naruto smiling, he is about to be a father.
"O-Okay" said Hinata breathing heavily and then she screams as she pushes.
"I can see the head" said Tsunade smiling "Just one more push Hinata, just one more"
Hinata nods her sweating head and screams in pain more until she can hear a cry, Hinata smiles in relief to hear her child's sweet little cry. Tsunade snip off the umbilical cord and presents Hinata to her newborn baby.
"Congratulations, you have a healthy baby girl" said Tsunade as she gives the baby to Hinata.
The baby is a few locks of blond hair with blue streaks at the end; she has 'whiskers on her cheeks just like her father, along with a birthmark in the shape of a spiral around her navel. The only abnormality the baby has is her missing left arm, completely with no shoulder. However, Hinata and Naruto didn't care as long as she is still beautiful. The newborn baby opened her eyes; she has her mother's eyes, meaning that she has the Byakugan too.
"She beautiful" said Naruto as he kisses Hinata's forehead "What should we call her?"
Hinata smile and said her newborn daughter's name.
"Naruko Hyuuga Namikaze"
Naruto sweat drops at the name that is the name he has when he performs his Sexy Jutsu. But then again, she does look like him and he pleased about it.
"It's perfect" said Naruto as he kisses Hinata on the lips, until he realises something "Oh yeah, I made you a promise and I fulfilled it, Neji's head is here"
Hinata smiles at this and kissed her lover's whiskered cheek, hearing him purr. As Hinata strokes her little Naruko's cheek she can hear her puff to, it made her giggle.
"Just like her father" said Hinata as she puts Naruko in her crib beside her and takes a rest.
Naruto smiles and kisses his Mistress and Daughter goodbye.
"I'll see you later" said Naruto "Pleasant dreams"
"You too Naruto tell the girls that they are now mothers" said Hinata as she sleeps.
Naruto smiles and leave the infirmary and head to the Main Hall, to discuss about his daughter.
ROTL base
It's still raining, perhaps the heavens are weeping at the loss of 2 fellow members of the ROTL. The ROTL members are all dressed in black as the watches the 2 coffins lower down to their graves. Sakura and Tenten are mourning and crying over the deaths of their true love. The ROTL member then gave a salute to the fallen heroes. Kakashi then appears to speak to all of the mourners.
"Today is a tragic day for all of us; our fallen comrades were killed by 2 types of evil, Orochimaru's Cursed mark and Naruto." Said Kakashi lowering his head "But I will say this, they died fighting against these fiends, one died to defeat it and one died defeated. To Sasuke Uchiha and Neji Hyuuga"
"TO SASUKE UCHIHA AND NEJI HYUUGA" shout the ROTL members.
Then the sun shines out at the 2 tombstones, the message engraved in the stones will be forever known to the ROTL
RIP Sasuke Uchiha
Died in battle against the Cursed Seal and won costing his life.
RIP Neji Hyuuga
Died in battle against the Overlord Naruto, he failed to warn his Comrades about Kazehime.
As the ROTL members leave, Temari stayed behind, but she didn't cry she smiled as Neji failed to reveal her identity, now that information is within his grave for all eternity.
"You lose, Santo Angelo" said Temari as she turns and walks away from Neji's grave. "You Lose"
Unknown Location
A mysterious cloaked person is walking to a holding cell; under the hood you can only see his lower part of his face. His has a goatee that could envy the devil himself. Under the cloak his wields at least 10 swords; he must a VERY skilled swordsman.
The guard by the holding cell is listening to his tracks on his MP3 player; he didn't notice the cloaked person. The Cloaked person unplugged the headphones so the guard can pay attention to him.
"How is he?" said the cloaked person
The guard opened the shutter that reveals only darkness, but all he can hear is screaming.
"AGH!" screams the voice in the cell
"He is screaming, perhaps destroying it is not a good idea" said the Guard as he close the shutter.
"It has to be done or it will corrupt him and make him go insane" said the cloaked figure
The guard closed the shutter that drowned the screaming; cell door is completely sound proof.
"I really don't understand is why you stopped him, why won't you just let him die" said the Guard
"And what kind of uncle would I be to see his nephew commit suicide over petty things like nightmares, I had nightmares once and I don't go around killing myself" said the Cloaked person
"Of course not, my lord you are a wise man" said the guard as he lowers down to his knees "Forgive me"
"Don't worry about it, eventually he will regain his sanity and return to his friends" said Cloaked person as he removes his cloak to reveal himself "As I, Ventus Uchiha, peaceful winds of the Uchiha Clan and Leader of the Rouge Uchiha clan will help or God forever damn us all"
