Zack: Well, being back and all hasn't really increased my enthusiasm for writing since I've been partaking in many activities and indulging myself in several of my hobbies. Asides this, I will be trying to write in a faster face, working the flow and increasing my writing.

Also, I've taken the liberty of including several new arcs within the story to 'detail' several new things that I've included into the story.

Oh, by the way, I have to do the Q&A's.
Q: Will you add Karin to the pairings?
- Mzr90
A: I have considered this but after Karin was declared an Uzumaki, I was put off a bit by it. Don't worry, I have looked into this and may even give you the satisfaction by putting her in some other time.

Q:Is Kyuubi the main heroine/pairing with Naruto?
-VenomFang616
A: I can't give detail into that yet as that would spoil several stuff( if you've read the old version of Through a Demon's Eyes, you'd practically know what's coming anyway) but I'll give a hint as to what the main pairing for this story but that's not to say she's a pairing in the next ;P

Feel free to ask me more questions on the Reviews /Private Messaging, I'll try to answer them by the next update.

STORY START

Through A Demon's Eyes
Chapter 2
Infected

Shizune was already having a bad day; First, the whole Sasuke Retrieval left several critically wounded ninja's that required her level of expertise which had her running from one OR(Operating Room) to another, tiring her core. Second, managing Tsunade's anger as the buxom blonde went on a rampage around the Hospital during several Operations due to the doctor's and nurse's lack of care for Naruto Uzumaki's well being. Third, the pesky genin Sakura Haruno kept bugging her about Sasuke's being while she was operating.

"Shizune-san-"

"Goddammit Sakura, could you stop pestering me about Sasuke and make yourself useful 'coz for fuck's sake, I'm tired of hearing you bitch about Sasuke!" Shizune roared, stunning several nurses and doctors present as Sakura froze on the spot.

"O-okay Shizune-san" Sakura replied, her voice weak and almost insignificant to Shizune's ears.

"Make your way to Naruto's room and see if his condition is improving. I need an update on his condition quickly, understand?!" Shizune commanded, pointing a blood coated index finger at Sakura who nodded.

Turning around, the bubblegum haired genin disappeared into the hallway, unaware of the danger that was lurking in the blonde's room.

A scorching sensation prickled his eyes as he grunted, razor sharp teeth grinding against each other as Naruto Uzumaki roughly palmed his eyes, his nails turning into talons as immense pain flowed through his system.

Warm, crimson liquid spilled down his cheeks as Naruto collapsed; eye's bleeding profusely, staining the tiled floors of the bathroom. Curling into a ball, Naruto shivered from the torturous pain that started coat his bones.

Crack…
Crack…
Crack…

"ARGH!" Naruto roared, his bones breaking all around his body, leaving a sickening sight of protruding bones and ripped flesh all over his body.

Crimson chakra rose from underneath his skin, coating his broken left arm as it dangerously whipped around, crawling across the bloodied tiles towards the door.

Creak…

"Naruto?"

Naruto's ears perked at the sound, recognizing the voice as several footsteps clattered across the floor, each step increasing in volume before succumbing to the unbearable pain that rocked deeply in his core.

The bubblegum haired genin swung the door open and seeing unconscious Naruto, panicked and flocked over to him, missing the crimson chakra that crept across the floor.

"Naruto!" Sakura shouted, her arms outstretched to his body as the crimson chakra strike.

Sch…

Sakura roared in pain, the crimson chakra puncturing her forearm and started flooding her coils. Shaking, Sakura collapsed against the door, her hair darkening and her nails sharpening. Her eye's snapped open, revealing ruby red slitted eyes as the trademark whisker marks spread across her cheeks. Red chakra coated her body as she barged out of the room at inhuman speeds, leaving an unconscious Uzumaki in her wake.

A dim light beamed down on the dark room, illuminating the kitchen area as Amaru trudged across, wearing nothing but a multi-colored woolen jumper and dark grey shorts. Her brilliant red hair was soaked, several locks of hair sticking to her cheeks, neck and collar. Ignoring the several dirty dished that stacked on the counter, Amaru opened the top cupboard, taking out a glass, and started dumping teaspoons of coffee into it. Minutes ticked by as Amaru leaned against the kitchen counter, tiredly staring at the boiling water on the stove, recounting the earlier events of the day.

After the whole business with the ANBU ninja and the mysterious blonde, Amaru had strolled around the village, checking out several restaurants in the CBD(Central Business District) and after seeing the price tag, elected to ignored dining, despite the mouth-watering food and the grumbling of her stomach. Instead, she had found a fairly worn down ramen stand titled 'Ichiraku Ramen' and dined for the evening and despite it's fairly low price, the ramen broth were magnificently cooked, satisfying her taste buds after one or two bites. For a small stand, it had its fair share of customers; when she had arrived, several ninja's were leaving, paying for a purple wearing blonde, pineapple haired slacker and a fat brunette that had downed several bowls of the ramen broth within five minutes. During her stay, several ninja's went and go, ordering take-out or having a quick meal. At first, the brunette waitress, Ayane Ichiraku, had asked if she wanted a diet ramen (according to her, it was a favorite among the ladies) and drew a curious brow at her when she declined, opting for the beef ramen. After paying for her order, the waitress and the older cook gave her a warm goodbye. The next painstaking three hours were spent 'satisfying' Uragiri upon his immediate request to come to their shared apartment.

Boom…
Sch…
Click…

Amaru was knocked out of her thoughts, hearing the chaos that erupted outside. Making a beeline for the window, she tore open the shades and froze at the sight.

Konoha, the beautiful glowing city that it was in the evening, was a chaotic mess of destruction. Several villagers were screaming, sprinting around in a disorganized matter. Behind the panicking civilians, several ninjas, battered and bleeding, hopelessly fought back several red-coated, angry mobs that hunted down any person in sight.

Smack…

A clawed hand slammed into the window, leaving spider-web cracks on the window as a head emerged, glaring directly at Amaru. Backpedalling, Amaru collided against the wooden table as the red-coated person busted through the window, the fragments scattering all over the kitchen. Landing on all fours, the angry civilian charged, arms outstretched towards her, clawed hands ready to pierce her skin.

Sch…

The angry person vanished, dematerialized into ashes as a hunched over figure sat on the bed, a yawning escaping his mouth. Amaru glanced over to the bed, stunned to see a flicker of electricity spark between his fingers.

"You alright?" The gruff voice of none other than Uragiri spoke, a disinterested look on his face as he glanced at Amaru.

Amaru gave a hesitant nod as Uragiri stood up, collecting his items and started to walk over to the carpet, ripping it off as his right hand felt around on the floorboards.

"Amaru, gather your stuff. We need to get under before this get any more chaotic" Uragiri spoke, lifting up a panel of the floorboards and diving down to a dark abyss.

Amaru gave a weak nod before she hurriedly gathered her stuff and after one last look to the pile of ashes on the kitchen floor, dived foot first into the abyss, the panel of floorboard slamming shut behind her fiery red hair.

Desperately crawling across the flooring, Tayuya tightly clasped the bloodied kunai in her hands, panic running through her system.

After her awaking in a messy apartment room several hours earlier, she'd done a quick inspection of the new environment; weapons, clothes and scrolls scattered about the floor and coffee table, empty ramen cups left lying in the kitchen counter and several assorted footwear strewn across the floorboards.

Everything was peaceful until loud explosions shook the frail walls of the apartment, knocking over several of the furniture into the worn floorboards. Screams had echoed in the empty apartment as Tayuya dove out of the couch, skidding across the floorboards. The windows shattered, the glass fragments spraying across the room as three chakra coated beings landed, growling in anger as they glared down at Tayuya.

Making a wild grab for the assorted weapons on the coffee table, Tayuya had panicked as they dragged her back, plowing a hand straight through her right leg, shredding her bones and flesh. Screaming in pain, Tayuya weakly retaliated as she swung the kunai wildly, killing the attacking civilian.

That had been only several moments before; her injuries had progressed from bad to worse and what she could only assume as rioting, had started to get closer. Clawing across the floor, Tayuya's observant eye failed to see the small switch that her hand clawed, triggering the floor to open. Falling, Tayuya crashed face first into concrete, the trap door shutting above her as she passed out, succumbing to the torturous pain of her demolished leg.

Sch…
Crk…

"Ah"

Eye's cracking open, Naruto Uzumaki stumbled up, legs wobbly as his bones popped, releasing a sickening crack with every limb movement. His arm's hurt, muscles straining with new usage. His feet ached with a dull chill, the coldness from the tiles seeping into his legs as he made several shaky steps to the torn door.

Glancing at the dark, empty room, Naruto took notice of the burn and claw marks that scattered along the walls, a small tracing of demonic chakra that lingered in the cracks. Alerted by these marks, Naruto trudged over to the bed-side table, intent on finding his weapons.

These markings had put him on red alert; if there was to be a threat to him, he's intent to not be defenseless against such a situation.

Not that it mattered; his luck had finally run dry.

Crash…

Naruto was blown out the building, a red blur on him as they fell from the Tower. Wind rustled his hair and hospital gown as he gritted his teeth, feeling the burning touch that the red blur emanated from its skin. Kicking away his assailant, Naruto flipped, crashing foot first into a tiled roof. Skidding dangerously down the tiling, Naruto's new muscles acted on reflex; reaching out and grasping whatever came to its clutches, this being melted remains of a pipe.

Hoisting himself up, Naruto glanced around, stunned by the sight that greeted him. The Main Street was a wreck. The buildings were broken, several floors missing a roof and walls and those that didn't were coated by fire. The streets were littered with debris, blocking off several alleyways and streets that routed to several other areas. Blood pooled on the drainage as the bodies, whatever remained of it, scattered the area.

Never in his life had Naruto seen Konoha in such a state of disorder and chaos, it had always remained secured and stable, never chaotic and disorganized.

Assessing his situation, Naruto planned his objectives.

Being that Konoha is in a state of chaos, he could only assume it was dangerous territory. He'd need to be armed and alert if he was to be attacked. After that, he'd need to search for survivors and investigate the emergency underground stations that scattered outside of Konoha. Mentally listing off his objectives, Naruto took a look at his bucket list.

Objectives
supplies
Survivors
Emergency Stations

It didn't seem that all hard but he knew there would be several problems he tangle with in-between those objectives, he'd cross that bridge when he got there.

Feeling a familiar chakra run through his coils, it was only then that Naruto realized that his coils were flooded with a fuckton of a familiar chakra. It was definitely Kyuubi's chakra, forcing the Uzumaki to ponder how it still had access to him after it was chained away by a mysterious force. Shrugging, Naruto pushed it to the back of his mind; as long as he can manipulate chakra, he'll be fine. He'd need to check on this some other time though.

Leaping to the air, Naruto travelled over the torn streets of Konoha, taking in the destruction as he headed for his apartment.

He didn't anticipate what would await him.

Bump…
Bump…
Crack…

Naruto kicked down the sturdy, beaten door, an annoyed expression on his face.

Out of all the things to remain strong, whether it is his walls or his furniture, it had to be his goddamn door!

Walking across the glass littered floor, an ear-aching screech with every crunch of his foot, the red streaked blonde found his apartment thrashed, a trail of blood leading over to his hallway.

As if a light bulb flicked on in his head, Naruto realized that the redhead was here unprotected from the unexpected chaos. A serious expression grew on his face as he grabbed the bloodied kunai off the floor.

Trudging carefully across the apartment, Naruto kept a steady grip on his kunai, an observant eye wearily watching ahead of him.

No good would come to him if he wasn't cautious.

Crack...

Ear's twitching, Naruto whipped around as red chakra coated figure tackled him, knocking to the floorboards. Groaning, Naruto dodged out of the way of the man's razor sharp nails that dug into the floor, leaving claw marks in its trails.

Kicking the man in the back, Naruto shifted, reversing positions as the man lay dazed, confused as to what occurred. Raising his kunai, Naruto slammed it down and unexpectedly, crashed through the floorboards and into his storage room.

Landing with a dull thud, Naruto was tossed back, crashing into the wall, small pieces of debris pinning him down as the man stood up, a feral expression in his face. As if acting on instinct, chakra flared in his eyes, his vision turning pitch black as the man before him glowed red, bright red. All of a sudden, the red chakra that coated the man suddenly bubbled and intensified as the man screamed, his legs melting like butter in the oven. After a few minutes, the man completely became liquefied and the red chakra that coated him crawled over to him and after making contact with his skin, vanished from sight as it joined his chakra coils. Naruto's vision returned to normal after a couple minutes later. Naruto was dumbfounded; how in the hell did he do that? He'd need to make a note to explore these new found ocular skills later.

Pushing away the debris that stacked on him, the Uzumaki was dumbfounded as it moved with little to no effort.

Flexing his arms, Naruto grew to admire his new muscles; despite his earlier fight with Sasuke, it still maintained its strength, if not more. Perhaps Kyuubi could enlighten him but that is to wait, he needs to sort of this mess first.

Standing up, Naruto grew alert as a weakly thrown kunai barely impaled itself on the wall behind him. Intrigued, the Uzumaki stalked over to the source, disbelieving his eyes as he saw before his very eyes; the one and only Tayuya, leaning in the wall, a bandaged stump that once was her leg and a stack of kunai next to her. A shocked expression plastered over her face as she recognized the blonde who gave it in return, shocked seeing her leg that is now a stump.

"What the fuck happened to you?" Tayuya spoke, her voice hoarse as she grabbed another kunai off the stack next to her.

Naruto shrugged.

"I have no friggin' idea"

Tayuya gave him a glare as he stalked across the room, heading for the cabinet, stripping off the hospital gown. Tayuya blushed furiously as she turned away, despite her eyes glancing over to his naked form.

'Shithead's kinda hot'

Naruto smirked, taking notice of her glances as he flicked through the cabinet, grabbing a selection of clothes.

He threw on a no-sleeve, red zip up hoody overlaying black short-sleeve t-shirt that clung to his muscles with every flex. He slipped on a red sweatband on his left hand, several black wristbands on his left. He wore dark blue shorts that just past his knees. A dark, leather black sandal tightly strapped to his feet. Nabbing the pouches, Naruto secured the big pouch on his back pocket and the kunai holster on his right leg.

Standing up, Naruto started to stock up on equipment; 20X shuriken, 5X kunai, 10X Soldier Pills, 3x Ninja wire and 30X Flash pellets. He figures he'd leave the rest for when he ran dry. Shoving the leftovers back into containers, Naruto trudged over to his injured guest.

"How's your leg?"

Tayuya glanced over to him, seeing his eye's stare at her bandaged stump as he knelt down in front of her.

"It's fine. I'm just fucking happy that I took those goddamn medical lessons last month"

Naruto gave her smirk as he stretched out his hand, raising her up as he slid her hand over his neck.

"What happened?" He asked, curios as to her leg became a stump.

"Since I'm assuming this is your shitty-ass apartment, I woke up with a bitch of a headache and after those long hours, this fucking cunt broke in and attacked me. The piece of shit got my leg but don't worry, I killed him before I got away"

Naruto took note of that; she had been severely injured before hand and had managed to kill those 'kyuubified' civilian after a few hours of rest and to top it off, she had managed to find and drag herself down to his storage room with a shredded leg, performing first aid on herself as she heavily bled out.

"You're such a tough cookie"

Tayuya gave a smirk at his comment, slowly growing fond of the blonde.

"Fuck yeah I am"

Naruto chuckled as he hoisted her up, carrying her in a piggy bank, being careful not to touch the bandaged edge of the stump, as he climbed up the debris and back into his apartment.

Sch…
Sch…

Amaru cuddled her knees, her red hair draping over her face as she shook, frightened to her core. Uragiri stood not too far away from here, leaning on the wall, arms crossed as he dully stared at the trapdoor above them.

Their hastily gathered equipment were stack in the far wall; two bags sloppily stuffed with their items, the zip barely touching the other. Several clothes, bottles and cans were slightly sticking out, easily seen in first glance at the items.

"How long are we staying here?" Amaru croaked, her dark blue eyes glancing over to Uragiri.

"Till things die down a bit outside"

Amaru gave a weak nod as Uragiri lazily played with the knife, twirling and juggling every so often for the next few minutes, patiently waiting for time limit.

Of all the things he expected of Konoha, Uragiri didn't expect an attack but alas, Konoha is a major village, an attack is to be logically expected.

His eye's glanced over to Amaru, a devilish smirk growing on his face as he approached her, knowing what to do to pass the time.

Kicking away the tiles, Naruto bounded from building to building, reveling in the sweet breeze as Tayuya clung to him tightly, making certain she didn't slip and fall to her death. Naruto leapt high, targeting the massive pole that spurred from the ground, reaching past the buildings and into the skies. Landing, Naruto took the chance to survey the area.

The North had been ravaged, almost majority of the buildings on fire or had collapsed. Streets were littered with eviscerated bodies as blood pooled into the drainage. The South wasn't much different, perhaps even worse than the North. The West was pretty much flat ground, several blocks collapsed and fire spreading across the street. The East was pretty clean, less fires and destruction so perhaps several survivors had gathered there and defended themselves from the demonic beings.

"So shithead, what's next?" Tayuya spoke, her voice echoing into his ears.

"Well, since I've gathered my supplies. I had thought on gathering some survivors and heading for the Emergency Stations nearby"

" Fuckin' great, we're gonna fuck around with weak stragglers"

"Hey, I'm a shinobi of Konoha, It's my responsibility to protect its people and serve its Kage"

"Alright, alright, no need to go bitchy shithead"

Before Naruto could reply, a piercing scream was heard, followed by a crackle of lightning as several 'kyuubified' civilians rushed off to the source.

"Can you locate where that was?" Naruto asked Tayuya.

"Fuck no, I'm no fuckin tracker nin"

Grumbling, Naruto hit an idea.

Earlier, chakra flared in his eyes and some sort of ocular abilities was triggered. Maybe, he could use it to locate the survivors.

Flaring some chakra in his eyes, Naruto's vision became pitch black, blinding him for a second as he stood still, trying to get his bearings. After a while, Naruto took notice the darkness decreased slightly, enough for him to notice the white outlining of the buildings.

Okay, so he could at least, to some degree, manipulate these new found ocular powers.

If these eyes could detect the red chakra of the 'kyuubified' civilian from earlier, then he should have no problem on detecting normal chakra.

After staring around, Naruto slowly grew annoyed. Nothing was showing up, no chakra was being detected, no matter how many times he looked around.

'How the fuck can't I detect shit?'

An idea hit Naruto, since he could see his chakra as plain as day and not to mention that his chakra could resonate and/or manipulate the 'kyuubified' civilians. Perhaps he could send out some sort of chakra 'pulse' to his surroundings, hopefully being able to detect the familiar chakra and certain 'anomalies' that is hopefully, normal chakra, inside the radius of the pulse.

Taking a deep breath, Naruto let out a chakra pulse, seeing the red chakra burn through the darkness around him. Sweat beaded down his forehead as he waited, hoping for his idea to work.

All of sudden, his eyes were flocked with color, seeing several red chakra signatures running around, almost surrounding a dark violet and pitch blue chakra signatures.

Naruto rejoiced, a smirk growing on his lips as he dashed off, letting off more chakra 'pulse' to make certain that he didn't lose the signature.

Boy, was he loving these new abilities.

Amaru screamed in terror as she sprinted, Uragiri behind her as he let out more lightning attacks, turning them into ashes upon its touch.

After Uragiri had a quick sesh with her, the red-coated people had managed to bust through the trapdoor and attack. Grabbing the bags, Amaru made a run for it as Uragiri shot them down with, what she could only hope to be, a lightning jutsu's as they started becoming ashes after its touch.

Here they were, running for dear life from these monsters that chased them with aggressive persistence.

"Come at me, monsters. I can keep this up all day!" Uragiri roared as he let loose another lightning 'bolt' at the red-coated beings, turning them into dust.

Turning the corner, Amaru skidded to a halt as several red-coated beings stood in front her, blocking the way. She felt Uragiri bump into her, cursing as he saw the situation.

Frustration crossed Uragiri's features as the creatures started to slowly approach them, animalistic growling erupting from their throats.

Hearing a crash above, Amaru was stunned to see a red-hoodied figure land, throwing several kunai's around, killing five chakra-infected people. A spare charged at him but froze on the spot as he held out his hand, a red glow emerging from his eyes as the red-coating that shrouded the man bubble and intensify and before long, the man started to melt into a disgusting pool of liquefied blood, organs and bones. The chakra was all the was left behind, swirling around next to it for a few seconds before it crawled over to the figure and vanished into nothingness.

Sensing an ally, Uragiri struck down the rest with a lightning attack, turning the rest into ashes.

The figure stood up, glancing at them with a terrifying set of eyes; pitch black with a red, spiky crosshairs, all connected by a red ring, that pointed to where his pupils is meant to be. It was only then that Amaru noticed the second person that clung on his back.

Amaru took in his features; red-streaked blonde hair, thick whisker-like markings on his cheeks, razor sharp canines and hawk-like talons.

If it wasn't for the smile and normal demeanor, she could have sworn he could've been like one of the infected.

The girl on his back had ruby, long hair that reached past her shoulders. Her eyes were dark chocolate brown, a flash of anger lingering within those orbs. The major detail was the fact her right leg is now a stump, heavily covered in bandages that the boy carefully avoided.

"Who are you?" Uragiri asked, lightning sparking in his fingertips as he saw the boy's features.

"Naruto Uzumaki, shinobi of Konoha"

"Thanks for the save earlier boy, you know any safe places we can evacuate to?"

"Yeah, I actually came here to gather some survivors and head off to the Emergency Stations"

"Okay, you know how to get there?"

Naruto nodded.

"Then let's get going"

Naruto Uzumaki nodded and turned the corner, Uragiri and Amaru hot on his heels.

Zack: And chapter 2 finished! Writing this has been so tiring recently, I've been caught up with some skating competitions and school projects but I've written this anyway.
