(A/N) And were back once again. I'm writing this pretty early in the morning, but that shouldn't stop my creative genius. Yesterday I actually went back and read the seven chapters of my own story with the eyes of a reader, not the writer. I must say, I'm a better writer than I give myself credit for. Also I only counted a total of four grammatical errors in the entire story. I'm rather impressed with myself at that, since I never proofread my chapters. I just get them done and immediately submit them to fanfiction.
You guys absolutely loved/hated the cliffhanger I left you with last time. I love cliffhangers, as they keep people on their toes and waiting for the next chapter impatiently. Fortunately, I never leave you guys waiting too long since I have an at least one chapter per day thing going on. You're welcome. Anyways the reviews I got from you guys really left me the impression that you are going to enjoy seeing Kushina destroy the council. I'm certainly going to enjoy writing it, so I hope that what you guys read will quench your thirst for council bashing.
And as always, I've been rambling. Maybe I was born a ramblin' man. Anyways, on with the show.

Chapter 7: Kushina vs Council
"Now remember you guys, I said to the old man that you could maim, but not kill. Let me revise that. Since you have Kurama-sensei here with you, you may kill, but make sure they are alive in the end. Okay?" affirmed Naruto as he and Hinata walked out the door, placing themselves in their thirteen year old henge as they went.
With Naruto and Hinata gone, the civilian council was seriously starting to sweat at what they had just heard his say.
"Minato, sweety, please let me go. I only want to hurt them a little bit." Said Kushina as she struggled against Minato's strong grip.
"Now, now Kushina, maybe we should hear any excuses that the council has for their actions before we do anything violent." Said Minato as he held her back.
An ill-fortuned council member then chose to speak up and said "Excuses, hah! What sort of excuse do we need? That boy is a demon, and now the girl is one too. They should be sentenced to death immeadiately." The other council members and Hiashi nodded in agreement. Bad Idea.
Minato upon hearing this finally snapped. They insulted his son and his daughter-in-law for the last time. So he did the worst thing that he could possibly do to the council. He released his grip on Kushina. Instantly chakra chains flew from Kushina's back, pinning the council members to their chairs. Kurama signaled Kushina to hold on for a moment as he pulled out something from his black kimono. It was an object not often seen in the Narutoverse. It was a cell phone. He punched a few numbers into the phone and held it to his head as it rang.
"Hey, Shinigami, how are you doing? The kit told me that I could kill some people but that they had to stay alive in the end. So do I have your permission to do my kill-revive-rekill thing that I love to do? You can play with them as much as you want while their dead, they really deserve it. I've got permission? Great. See you later, maybe we can go on a killing spree for old time's sakes later." Said Kurama to his best friend in his phone before hanging up and putting his phone back into his kimono. Looking back to the impatiently waiting Kushina, he nodded and said "Please continue Kushina. Their screams will be music to my ears." (A/N: Yes, the Shinigami is Kurama's best friend. They met after one particularly nasty slaughter, and became fast friends. The favor Kurama called in is a pretty common one, he likes to kill people, then revive them, then kill them again. I got that idea from another fanfic.)
"Alright Kurama, I've decided that I'm going to summon her. They deserve it, and since I don't have to worry about them staying dead, she'll get all the exercise that she wants. After she has her fun, then it's my turn, and after I'm done, then you can do anything else that you want to do to them." Said Kushina.
Minato heard what she said and flew through some hand seals and shouted "Fuinjutsu: Liquid Sealing Barrier".
Hiruzen was confused at why Minato did this and asked him why he did. Minato responded by saying "Do you want the Hokage tower to be soaked through with blood?"
Upon hearing this, several of the civilian council members pissed themselves, but they couldn't help but wonder who "her" was. That's when Kushina flew through some hand signs, bit her thumb, slammed her palm against the ground and yelled "KUCHIYOSE: ONI NEKO!"
Now those of you who understand a little Japanese will know that she said "Summoning: Demon Cat". While most people would think that she meant to summon Matatabi, the Nibi Bijuu, they would be wrong.
While she could in fact summon Matatabi with Yugito's permission, what Kushina was summoning was worse.
Far worse.
When the smoke cleared, standing there on its haunches was the cat known as the "Genin's Bane".
Standing there was the fire daimyo's wife's cat, Tora.
Upon seeing this the council members just laughed and said "That's the best you can do? A pathetic little kitty? We were worried for nothing!"
Kushina just grinned and said "Tora, sic 'em."
Tora let out a vicious snarl and flew at the nearest council member. Claws cleaved effortlessly through flesh and blood splattered everywhere. Screams filled the room and Tora leapt to her next victim. The total carnage that ensued was absolutely horrific. Tora actually succeeded in killing every member of the civilian council. She also noticed that something was off with the old man sitting at the end of the bench, so she jumped him. She ripped through the seals that Danzo had placed on his arm and scratched out each and every one of Danzo's implanted sharingan eyes. Kurama upon seeing those eyes was instantly enraged and pretty much warped to him and snapped his neck with a resounding crack. Kurama decided that Naruto wouldn't mind if Danzo stayed dead. Tora was satisfied with the exercise that she got and ran out the door, thankful for the chance to escape from her horrible owner. Hiruzen realized that he would have to send some genin out on a mission to catch her, but he resolved to pay the genin double what he had been paying them previously from now on to whoever accepted that mission. He was also extremely glad that Minato had put up his seals when he did. Who knew that those civilian council members could produce that much blood? It was obvious to him that they were in fact currently dead, when suddenly they all gasped for air as their hearts started pumping again. They looked around with absolute terror in their eyes. Obviously the Shinigami had been doing his job of "having fun" with them extremely well before he decided to send them back.
Now it was Kushina's turn for some fun. She smirked evilly as she sent some more chakra chains out and impaled each of the council members and Hiashi (A/N: Did you think I forgot about Hiashi? I did not, it's just Tora knew that she wouldn't be able to take on Hiashi without at least being slightly injured, so she didn't bother with attacking him) through their stomachs, arms, and legs, pinning them each against the wall. As their blood flowed it was absorbed into Minato's seal and disappeared. Kushina then walked up to the first council member. She grabbed his arms and tore them out of his sockets. She then grabbed his hands and broke each finger, one at a time. Next she kicked out his knee sockets and smashed his femur with her foot. Then, she pummeled his chest, shattering his ribs. Finally to end it, she grabbed his head and twisted it snapping his neck, killing him. She repeated this exact process for each of the council members and Hiashi. Finally satisfied with her work, she released her chains and took a step back.
Once they had revived again, it was Kurama's turn. What he did to them was simple, yet extremely effective and painful. He used a special jutsu called "Kitsune arts: Slow Burning Flame". This lit a small amount of fire onto each of the council members and Hiashi and slowly, and very painfully, spread across their entire bodies. Satisfied once the jutsu was used, he stood back and watched them flail around as the flames spread across their bodies until they each could take it no more, and they died just from the sheer sensation of the all-consuming pain that wracked their bodies. This effectively cauterized their multiple wounds, stopping the bleeding of their bodies. The flames went out as soon as their victims died.
Kurama turned to Minato, now the only remaining member of the summoned group who hadn't done anything to the council, and asked "Well I'm done. Is there anything that you would like to do before we head home?"
Minato responded by saying "I think that we have done enough, but there is one thing that I would like to do to Hiashi when he gets revived."
They were revived a moment later and Minato walked over to Hiashi who was trying to stand up and delivered a fearsome punch to Hiashi's jaw, knocking him out. Satisfied, Minato turned and said "That's for trying to put an insult to the fine art of fuinjutsu onto my daughter-in-law."
With that done Minato nodded to Kushina and they both disappeared in a puff of smoke. Kurama turned to the Hokage and said "They will all be fine, all of their broken bones were mended when I revived them, and my flames cauterized their wounds. They will just be in a fair amount of pain for the next month." With that said he poofed away in a cloud of smoke.
The shinobi side of the council were absolutely stunned speechless as to what they had just watch unfold in front of them. They all silently resolved to tell their kids to NEVER get on Naruto or Hinata's bad side.
The hokage cleared his throat to get everyone's attention and said "Well that was certainly something. You are all dismissed, I have paperwork to do and there is no reason for any of us to stay here longer."
With that said the Hokage and the shinobi side, minus Hiashi, shunshined away in a cloud of leaves, leaving the civilian council and Hiashi to wallow in their well-deserved pain.
(Meanwhile at the Namikaze Compound)
Naruto and Hinata had just finished eating their lunch and were now sitting on the kitchen table, with Hinata straddling Naruto, and were engaged in a very passionate make-out session. Suddenly Kurama's voice popped up in both of their heads and said "We are back in your mind. I don't think that you will have to worry about the council ever again. If anyone deserves to be called a demon after today, it is your mother, Naruto. The things that she did to them definitely have my stamp of approval on it. They should be calling her the "Red-haired Demon" from now on."
Naruto and Hinata heard this but mostly ignored it as they continued their make-out session.

And that's that. A bit on the short side but I didn't want to include anything other than the council in this chapter, other than Naruto and Hinata learning that they were done. It would offset the violent overtone of the chapter. But I think that you guys should be satisfied with what I did to the council. Also I chose to kill off Danzo early on. While I honestly like Danzo, the whole "Danzo is evil and will try to take Naruto to make him into the ultimate weapon" thing is a bit of an overused plot point in fanfics. So I killed him off. And that's that. He will not be coming back. Ever. However his root members will try to enter the Namikaze compound to get back at Naruto, which will be the main point of the Omake that will be following each of the chapters starting with the next one. It will be called "The Wheel of Torture". Can anyone guess why it's called that? Here's a hint: It has something to do with the giant metal door that leads into the Namikaze compound.
And as always, feel free to leave a review, I love them.
Until next time,
Slice N Dicer
