Someone wrote me a review asking for the original chapter five. Here you go, but I won't be using it for anything else other than reference towards the flashbacks...even those might get changed, so don't expect much. working on new chapter now, should be posted in a few hours. Author's note at bottom explains a few things.
Original/Alternate CHAPTER 5
Inari growled at the two samurai in front of him. They had his mother, they had waited until the ninja had left before the struck. Inari happened to be in his room, training.
" Hey brat, piss off. Just go back to sleep." One of the samurai called.
His partner grinned. " Hey can I have him, my blade wasn't satisfied by the blood it had earlier."
" Gato said we only need one, go ahead, just make it quick." The first called.
Tsunami looked on in horror. " If you lay a hand on him, I'll bite my tongue and drown in my blood."
The samurai holding her snorted before smashing the hilt of his blade into her temple, knocking her out. " You were saying. Alright Kain, get the boy, I'll go on with the woman. If you don't catch up in ten minutes I'll assume you are dead and tell Gato that you failed." The man stated walking away.
Kain grinned and licked the blade of his sword. " Alright little boy time to die."
Inari snorted as the man walked towards him. The sword was lifted into the air and came crashing down on Inari's bandaged arm. Inari let out a grunt as the man smirked. Suddenly Inari grinned and lifted his arm.
" Sorry buddy, wrong arm." Inari's arm shot out and smashed into the man's temple, knocking him out.
Inari looked down at his arm and scowled as the bandages fell away. With a sigh he ripped away the other bandages and followed after the other man.
Tsunami woke to the feeling of a warm liquid dripping down her face. Looking up she saw Inari and her heart dropped until she noticed that the blood wasn't his. Inari smiled at his mother.
" It's okay mom, everything is gonna be alright." Inari stated as he wrapped his mother in a hug.
Inari looked down at his left arm, the replacement arm. It was blue and had bubbles running though it. Water. That's right his arm was made of water, but he wasn't mad, in fact he was glad.
' Thank you Naruto-nii.' Inari thought as he remembered how he got the arm.
-Flashback-
" I've been experimenting and I think I can give you an artificial limb made from my water." Naruto had said. " It will hurt and you will be out of it for a while, but it has it's advantages. You can shift the arm to what ever you want, basically it will be a weapon."
Inari had looked at him sceptically at first. " How will you do this? Is it possible?"
Naruto nodded at that. " I can make an arm from the water imbued with my chakra, I should be able to attach it to your own chakra paths, but it will hurt. The foreign chakra will fight against your own for a while, but eventually it will work right."
Inari nodded and stood. " Alright then, I'll do it."
-Flashback End-
Inari was glad he had gone through with it now.
AT THE BRIDGE
The bridge had become a blood grave. No longer was this about taking out Gato and recruiting Zabuza's crew. No this was about a promise of revenge now, and the Mizu no Oni never went back on his promises. They would die, all of them. No holding back for the sake of others, no more sparing the weak, they were all weak compared to him, no more, no more, NO MORE.
-An hour before on the bridge-
Naruto sighed as he sent another wave of water at Haku, only for it to freeze. Stepping to the side he dodged a barrage of needles and sent several spikes flying towards his opponent. He stepped back dodging the needles that hit the ground where he just stood. Sending another wave of water at the girl he thought back to his first encounter with her.
-Flashback-
Haku walked into the forest, a basket in her hand. As she paused to look for the medical herb in the bushes she noticed that the mist was almost as thick as Zabuza's hidden mist jutsu. Shaking the thoughts away she turned to the plant and spotted a flash of yellow out the corner of her eyes. Turning she took a step back as she saw a head of blonde resting against one of the trees. She recognized him as the one that had beaten Zabuza. Taking a step closer she noticed that his eyes were closed, his breathing even, he was asleep. Haku studied the face before her and felt herself blush unconsciously. He was handsome, the whiskers gave him a feral sort of look, while his hair made it seem more regal. Like a royal kitsune in human form. His skin was slightly pale, but not noticeable unless it was pointed out. In another time Haku might have made a move on him, but in this time that could not happen. With a small sigh she made four ice senbon from the mist, hoping to kill him while he slept.
As Haku went to toss the senbon she felt a prickle against her neck. Glancing to the side she saw several senbon, much like the ones in her hand, pressed against her neck.
" What do you want?" A voice called out from the sleeping figure.
Haku glanced back down and noticed the figure's eyes were open, the cold azure peering deeply into her soft hazel.
" When did you…" Haku began, wondering when the boy had woken.
" The second you entered my mist. Now I suggest you put away those senbon or else I'll be forced to act against you." Naruto replied.
Haku sighed and dropped the senbon, watching as the ice melted and returned to the mist. " What are you?"
" A demon, much like that man you serve, now what do you want, girl?" Naruto responded.
" My name is Haku."
Naruto snorted. " I didn't ask for it. I asked you what you wanted."
" I want what Zabuza-sama wants and he wants to kill you."
Naruto shook his head. " Tell your master that I will challenge him in one week at the bridge."
" And if I kill you now?" Haku questioned.
Naruto glared at the woman. " You are seriously misguided if you think you stand a chance against me because of our similar abilities. Your heart is simply to soft for you to hope to challenge me."
Haku's eyes widened. " How…"
" My ears are more sensitive than yours, I heard that sigh you let out before you made your weapons. You didn't want to kill me and you probably wouldn't if you could."
" And why can't I. You think you are invincible?"
Naruto looked up to the sky. " Many have tried, you will only fail as they have."
Haku stared at the blonde intently. " Why do you fight, surely there is a reason?"
" There is, I fight to survive, nothing more, nothing less." Naruto stated.
" Do you believe that is why you are strong, is there no one precious to you?" Haku asked softly.
Naruto stared at the woman briefly before turning back to the sky. " Someone precious, no. The last of my precious people died years ago and I have no desire to make new ones."
" Why are you so angry all the time?"
" Angry, no I'm not angry, not anymore. I used to be angry at the world, but now I am no longer angry nor joyful, I simply am." Naruto stated monotonously. " I exist simply to exist."
Haku blinked back the tears that threatened to fall for the boy before her. " Have you no humanity, no compassion!" She hissed at the boy.
Naruto looked at her with his cold dead eyes. " Humanity, compassion, I know not of those things. Perhaps at one time in my life I did, but no more. My heart is simply too cold for those warm emotions."
Haku took a step back and sighed. " Then you are truly lost, you are a demon as you claim."
" If you have no more business with me then leave and be glad your life was spared." Naruto stated.
" Very well, but know this." Haku spoke as she moved away. " I mourn for your soul."
The woman vanished into the night. ' Heh, perhaps I may have some compassion left in my heart.' Naruto thought before he returned to his dreams, dreams of a time when his mother was alive.
-Flashback End-
Naruto shook the thoughts from his head and growled. " Enough." A wave of water burst from the air and slammed into Haku.
As he thought, the water froze as Haku's bloodline kicked in, except this time it worked against her, freezing her in place. Naruto quickly tossed a paper tag at her that prevented her from travelling through the ice. Turning away from the struggling woman Naruto looked to the others on the bridge. Hinata and Shino squared off against the Kaguya, Kiba, Akamaru, and the Uchiha fought the demon brothers, Kurenai and the other faux hunter, Shikara if his clone was right, fought while Kakashi took on Zabuza. The pitiful excuse of a kunoichi, I mean the Haruno was being guarded by the bridge builder.
' Pitiful, all of them.' Naruto thought as he watched the Konoha nin struggle against the missing nin.
With a sigh Naruto walked towards the Kaguya. The Kaguya swung his blade at the Hyuuga heiress, hoping to take her out of the fight, when a black blade stopped his blade inches from the indigo haired girls face.
" A Kaguya, one of the once great council, forced to serve another simply out of fear for their life." Naruto spoke.
The Kaguya looked at Naruto. " You know of the council, who are you?"
" Uzumaki Naruto, future council lord." Naruto stated shocking the Kaguya.
" I am Takio, the last of the Kaguya." The boy spoke, his purple eyes opening wide. " What do you mean future council lord, the council is dead."
" Abandon your mission and join me, then I shall tell you." Naruto stated, pulling his sword back to his side and lifting Hinata towards Sakura with his water.
Takio's eyes narrowed. " And why should I trust you, last I knew the Uzumaki didn't willingly help anyone without there being a gain involved."
" Heh you speak of the old Uzumaki clan, of the royal family. That clan has died and is now buried under my tide." Naruto stated. " You have until I stop the others to decide."
Before anything else could be said between the two a loud chirping was heard. Naruto's head snapped towards the familiar sound. Kakashi had Zabuza bound by his summons and was rushing towards him with a blade of lightning held in his hand. Kakashi's hand shot into Zabuza's shoulder, a small wave of water pushing it to the side. Kakashi pulled his arm out of the swordsman's shoulder and looked back to his charge.
" What are you doing?" Kakashi questioned.
Naruto simply nodded towards the end of the bridge were several ships had docked. " Gato has betrayed him, we are in need of their services now."
Kakashi gave his charge a questioning glance but didn't speak, he simply called off his summons.
" Gato, what are you doing here?" Zabuza growled, his arm handing loosely from his bleeding shoulder.
" Hmph, beaten by a bunch of brats and their teacher, what kind of demon are you. Heh more like a baby demon." Gato sneered. " But you know, you did tire them out so I suppose that counts for something."
Zabuza growled as he lifted his sword with his good arm. " So, you are betraying me."
" Of course, you nin are too expensive to pay, even you missing nin. Perhaps I'll turn in your head and get the bounty. Although those women with you could be kept as slaves." Gato stated with a lecherous grin.
Naruto looked towards Haku and snapped his fingers, releasing her from her prison.
Haku looked at the boy curiously. " Perhaps I was wrong about you, it seems that you do have a bit of humanity left."
Naruto snorted and turned towards Gato. " Hello you rotten meat sack, remember me?"
Gato looked at Naruto and took an involuntary step back. " Mizu no Oni."
" Right, now what did I tell you about my territory?" Naruto growled stepping towards him. " I gave you warning, you returned and now your life is forfeit."
Gato suddenly looked towards the crowd. " Bring the girl."
Naruto suddenly felt a wave of dread wash through him, a feeling he hadn't felt since his mother died.
" See, I did some research, found out that you were travelling with a group of circus freaks about a year ago. Imagine how surprised I was when they came asking for the ferry to the outlands. Of course I sent them along on the ferry down the rivers of hell, but I kept the girl as a souvenir, a trophy of sorts." Gato smirked as a small girl no older than twelve was pushed to the ground in front of him. " Good thing I did. So Mizu no Oni, back off or consider the girl's life forfeit."
Naruto growled. " You bastard!" Naruto's fist shot towards Gato and a wave of water shot off.
Before the water could connect, a blast of fire shot at it from in front of Gato. " Well, seems like I will have to intervene." A voice called from the other side of the fire.
As the steam cleared the spotted a boy, maybe three years older than Naruto standing in front of Gato. He had crimson hair and violent red eyes. His skin was tan and his ears were slightly pointed. The boy wore a red shirt with black pants, black flames licked the tail of his shirt. He had on black gloves much like Naruto's own and brilliant red flames danced around on his left arm.
" You, I knew something felt wrong about you, your from that damn Kazan clan aren't you!" Naruto growled.
" Ahh, an Uzumaki, I heard all of you were dead, I should have known that you were one." The boy smirked. " Allow me to introduce myself, I am Lyt Kazan."
Naruto shot another wave of water towards the mercenaries. " You ally yourself with scum, what happened to the honor of the Lords, as the last Kazan you are a future council lord."
" The council is dead and as for my honor, it is still intact, I simply work with the highest employer, as do you. I am not of the ninja ranks, but the mercenary ranks, I too must make a living." Lyt stated summoning a wall of flames.
" Honor, you ally yourself with thieves and rapist, there is no honor among you." Naruto's hands shot into the air and the water from the ocean shot into the air.
Lyt let out a whistle. ' So not the right place to fight an Uzumaki.' The water quickly shot towards The mercenaries, ripping through their ranks rapidly.
" Stop, or the girl dies." A voice rang out from the raging water.
Naruto looked and saw Gato holding the girl with a knife at her throat, the girl's eyes were wide with fear.
" Gato, you are treading on dangerous ground, you kill her and I walk away now." Lyt stated.
Gato looked to the fire user and sneered, but before he could speak an ice spike suddenly lunged itself into his back. Gato looked back and saw the water that had covered the bridge was extending through several of his mercenaries and into his back, piercing just below his heart. Turning back towards Naruto he saw the boy looking at him in rage.
Gato smiled his last and spoke. " The girl goes with me." Before Naruto could react, the blade was running across the girls neck, ripping it open.
Naruto suddenly felt as if the world was shaking, everything was still as Gato and the girl began to descend towards the ground. He took a stiff step forward, followed by another, his breath was shallow. One, two, one, two, he could hear his footsteps pounding on the ground, his heart pounding in his chest. The color had seemed to drain from the world, everything seemed so plain and lifeless. Naruto reached the girls fallen body after what seemed like hours, or was it days. Naruto dropped to his knees and cradled the girl in his arms. As the tears began pouring from his face, they began pouring from the sky also, covering everyone in Naruto's sorrow.
Everything came back into normalcy as Naruto looked to the sky and yelled out in rage. " SAYAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Naruto's rage and sorrow poured off of him in his chakra, which spiked towards the sky in a blue and red tower.
Lyt looked at the boy and nodded his head towards him in respect before bursting into flames, vanishing from the firing line.
Kakashi looked at his pupil then turned to the others. " Get away from here!" Kakashi yelled to his remaining charges, Kurenai and her team, and Zabuza's group.
Haku spared a glance towards Naruto and tears fell from her face. ' I hope his humanity isn't lost completely now.' Haku grabbed Zabuza and helped him away, away from the upcoming massacre.
Suddenly Naruto's eyes turned towards the remaining mercenaries, a hateful glare in them. A pulse was felt in the air and seven mercs fell to the ground, the blood in their chest exploding outwards in a wave of spikes. Naruto stood, Saya's body still cradled in his arms, and walked towards the cowering mercenaries. Several tried to run back to the boat, but the water shot up and into their bodies, then ripped out painfully, leaving the to bleed to death. Some tried to charge the blonde in an act of stupidity, only to have the blood in their body ripped out of them. The ones left were forced to watch as they were taken out one by one, dieing in the most painful ways. Naruto summoned water and made blades of water, before sending them off to rip into the standing mercenaries. Afterwards they fell one by one, no they were massacred one by one, the fell by the dozen. Naruto finally let out a growl and the rain turned to spikes, which beat into the rest of the living mercenaries. With a final growl Naruto turned away, his gourd burst from his back and formed the fox, this time with nine tails, none of them red, but the eyes were, the eyes of the fox burned red. Naruto walked through town, remembering the times he had known Saya.
-Flashback Year 9 of Banishment-
Naruto sighed as he looked dropped the book in his hand. Turning, he spotted another fallen bookshelf, most of the books covered in dirt and new plant life that began creeping over it. Walking over to the mound he began to sift through the books and dirt, looking for at least one with some eligible words. Grabbing one that seemed to be whole Naruto grinned. Opening the book he almost laughed out in joy, he could see words. The book was small, black, with the Uzumaki crest on the cover.
' Log #1: 09-22-3244: My Voyage
My name is Lamar Sonosuke age 19. It has been but hours since the Great Calamity, I have been wandering for only a few minutes, but I see no one around. No bodies, no life at all, I fear that I may be all that's left of civilization. If that is so, then this journal will never be read. I may be wasting my time writing, but it eases my mind to hope that somewhere someone may find this. I don't know exactly how it happened, but I know some thing did. The official report is that a black hole opened up near the earth and we were pulled into it, the unofficial version is that the official version is shit. Heh, I don't care now, nothing I can do to change it, it's already happened. For the rest of today I will be searching for food, tomorrow I will search for survivors. Heh, maybe somewhere someone's alive.
Final survivor Lamar Sonosuke.'
Naruto was about to turn the page when he heard footsteps. Turning he saw several people heading towards his direction. Closing the book he walked towards the group, ready for a fight if necessary. Upon reaching a spot closer to them, he notice it was a group of children, no older than eleven.
" Hey, you shouldn't be playing here, you'll get hurt." Naruto called when the began climbing the ruins.
The kids paused and looked up to him. " What about you then?" The oldest, a girl asked.
" None of your business, just leave." Naruto stated.
The girl stuck her tongue out at him. " You can't make me."
Naruto smiled sadistically and shook his head. " I won't need to, my little friend there will." Naruto pointed to the side.
The kids took a look where Naruto was pointing and let out screams of fear before running away from the large water fox that growled at them.

' Log #14: 10-19-3244: My Findings
It had been almost a month since I had begun writing. I had been drifting along for several days when I spotted a thick mist. Taking a chance I stirred my boat towards the mist and in hours I had reached it. The mist had been thick, almost suffocating, but eventually it thinned out and I could see land. Almost euphoric like I pressed on towards the island, but as I neared the island I had begun to feel strange. The water seemed to be pulling me in, but there was no sign of a whirlpool anywhere. Shaking the feeling away I smiled, the island was almost within touching distance. That was when it happened, the water began to churn violently, pulling me away from the island and into a forming whirlpool. As I neared the center I cursed angrily, my rage exploded outwards and the water responded to me. I was puzzled but I didn't ponder on it too much until I reached land, hoping that what every happened didn't happen again. The second my feet touched against the ground I felt a malevolent chill wash down my spine. Turning back to the water I saw it, a large turtle like creature hit the water with a splash, causing a wave. As the wave washed me into a tree I saw a shadow pass over head. Looking up I saw a creature almost as large as the turtle monster, but were the turtle had three tails, this creature had seven. I could only stare in wonder as…'
Naruto closed the book and looked up from his position on the wagon. " Hey mister, you wanna help with the festival?" It was the girl again.
Several days after scaring the kids off Naruto had met up with them again, this time with a caravan. The girl, when she found out he was travelling with them, wouldn't leave him alone, deeming him a magician.
Naruto looked at the blue haired girl, his blue staring into her daisy yellow. " No, stop bothering me."
" No can do mister, until you teach me how to do your magic I'm gonna bother you!"
Naruto groaned.
-Next Flash-
" Saya, be careful, if you move to much you'll agitate the wolves." Naruto said soothingly. " Now, take a step towards me and give me your hand." Naruto whispered to the frightened girl.
Saya stepped cautiously over the wolf's body, the large creature snoring lightly. As she began to reach out to the blonde, her foot slipped on a rock and she fell backwards, onto the wolf. With a loud eep she leapt off the wolf, only to hear it growl at her, awakening it's companions. The wolf lunged towards her and Saya's eyes snapped shut, awaiting the violent end. A second later she felt something wet hit her face and opened her eyes to the sight of the wolves running, the one that lunged at her was lying on the ground dead, a sword in it's forehead. Her eyes widened and she followed the sword to Naruto, who looked at her with a small smile.
" Don't worry, I got your back. I'll protect you with my life." Naruto stated.
It was after that, that the two of them became close.
-Next Flash-
" Hey Naruto, when I grow up will you marry me?" Saya asked.
Naruto laughed. " Aren't you a little too young to be thinking about that."
" Hey, don't laugh. I'll be twelve in three months." Saya pouted. " Just think about it will you."
" Maa maa, I'll think about it. How about a promise. In say seven years, if you don't fall in love with someone else, I'll marry you, how's that."
Saya squealed and glomped Naruto to the ground, his water had long since deemed her not a threat.
-Next Flash-
" Hey Naruto, I wanna meet the man you call a hero." Saya said as they sat around the dimming fire.
Naruto shook his head. " He's dead."
" I'm sor…" Saya began.
" Don't be, he died as he lived, like a hero. He was my role model, he probably saved me from the darkness of my heart." Naruto said. " I'll take you too see his grave one day."
" Eww, I don't want to see some old grave, no telling what types of creepy demons are guarding it!" Saya scrunched up her face causing Naruto to laugh.
Naruto turned to Saya. " The only demon there is me. Rawr." Naruto tackled the girl to the ground tickling her.
-Next Flash-
" Don't be afraid Saya, you gotta do what's best for you family, I understand." Naruto stated calmly to the girl who held a knife at his neck.
Tears flooded down Saya's face as she stared at the men who held her family hostage. " Let em go first."
" You crazy girl, as long as we hold these guys the Mizu no Oni is powerless. You kill him first the we let em go." One of the nin called.
" Saya, do you trust me." Naruto said softly.
" With my life."
Naruto nodded. " Then I need you to trust me when I say this. Pull the knife across my throat."
" 'Gasp' I can't, I won't." Saya argued.
" SAYA!" Naruto hissed. " Just do it."
Saya whimpered slightly and closed her eyes. With a quick jerk the knife slid across Naruto's throat. " N-now release them." Saya called.
" She did it, that girl killed the Mizu no Oni." The leader murmured. " Alright boys, let em go, grab the body and kill the rest."
" NO! That's not what you promised." Saya argued.
The nin laughed. " All I said was I'd let em go. I never said they'd be alive."
" Then I can kill you with the same remorse." A voice called out just before all of the nin except the leader fell to the ground dead, an ice spike jammed into their skull.
The leader took a step back in fear. " No, it can't be, your throat was slit, you should be dead."
" Heh, it takes more than that to kill a demon." Naruto stated standing just before a spike caught the leader in the head.
Naruto turned to Saya. " You alright."
" Y-you monster." Saya said slapping Naruto. " I-I th-thought I had k-ki-killed you."
Naruto let out a sigh and wrapped the crying girl in his arms. " I won't do it again, I promise."
-Final Flash-
Naruto looked at the blue haired girl and leaned forward. " Happy birthday Saya." He murmured just before their lips met.
-Flashback End-
Naruto found himself standing in front of Kaiza's grave, Saya's limp body held tightly in his arms. " Here it is Saya. My hero's grave, just like I promised." Naruto murmured softly.
Naruto sat the body on the ground gently. " As I said, there are no demons here to bother you, just me." Naruto moved to the side of Kaiza's grave and sunk his fingers into the wet soil.
Naruto gripped the dirt and pulled, before repeating the process, slowly but surely, digging a hole. Naruto sat there for hours, ripping into the ground until he was covered in dirt from head to toe. Standing Naruto turned to Saya's body. He lifted the girl gently and summoned water around her before setting the body into the hole. Naruto covered the hole and body then made a tombstone from frozen water, adding a seal to it to ensure it never melted. Removing his sword Naruto stabbed it into the ice.
" It's okay now Saya, you don't have to be afraid anymore. You're home now and one day I'll hope to see you again before I'm tossed into the pits of hell." Naruto murmured before walking away.
Naruto ignored the stares from everyone around him as he walked through the town, covered in blood, dirt, and water. His fox walked behind him, ready to attack. Naruto destroyed the gates as he walked towards the Elenra house. First thing first, survivors. The guards that Gato had left behind jumped up started at the sudden noise, then fell down, their heads removed with a swipe of the foxes tail. The next guards fell before they saw the opposition, their hearts exploding from all the blood in their body rushing to it. Now the house was in view. Naruto felt that most of Gato's forces were dead, but the was still a bit inside the house. With a growl Naruto pulled the water from the ocean and destroyed the house in one fell swoop. No survivors. Looking towards the water he saw Gato's battle cruisers. Growling Naruto summoned a whirlpool that pulled them all in and ripped them to shreds. Making sure they were all dead Naruto turned away and began walking back towards Tazuna's house. A flash of white caught his eye, turning Naruto saw a white and black mask. Picking it up Naruto stared at the mask, remembering the first time he saw it.
-Flashback-
" Hey nii-san, why don't you perform with me next time. I'll even make you a mask like mine." Saya stated swinging her legs off the side of the wagon.
" Me perform, nope, no can do." Naruto replied biting into an apple.
Saya pouted. " But nii-san, why not?"
" Can't dance."
" Liar! I've seen you doing that fancy dancing of yours." Saya argued.
Naruto chuckled. " It's not fancy dancing, I was doing katas, it's part of my training."
" Fine, still I want you to perform with me, I can teach you the dance and everything."
" I'll think on it." Naruto stated. " Hey, let me see your mask."
Saya grinned and held out the mask. All white with two simple black eyes and an x where the mouth was supposed to go.
-Flashback End-
The mask was cracked now, a jagged line running from the top of the forehead to just under the right eye. Naruto snarled as he placed the mask on his face. Water raged around him as his anger spiked, surrounding him in a torrent of chakra and water. The water raged around him for several minutes before fading. When it cleared, Naruto Uzumaki was gone, and in it's place was a demon, finally awakened completely.
Naruto's water had changed his clothes. Four spikes of ice jutted out his back like spines, his cloak floated behind him like wings, a sheet of ice covering it. The mask had two spike jutting out of the forehead, like horns. A thick layer of ice covered both arms all the way to his hands, before covering them and spiking where his nails were supposed to be. And finally, carved into the forehead of the mask, between the two horns, was the kanji for death, a warning to all who opposed him. Standing beside the blonde was his water fox, but it seemed more controlled, normally you could see the water moving, but now, the water was still, almost frozen.
Naruto looked to the sky and allowed the rain to was him of everything. His anger sated, his sorrow passed, his body was now simply a temple for his dream, a dream that he had no choice but to complete. To rebuild the council of clans, conquer the warring nations, and turn the world into a place were Saya would have lived to an old age, one with peace.
Naruto turned and walked away, his fox in step beside him. " Humanity, such an emotion does not exist within a demon's heart." Naruto murmured to himself.
Hidden in the shadows, Haku and kakashi watched from two different places, but both of them knew that the Mizu no Oni was now fully awakened and Naruto Uzumaki was lost to them…that, they knew for sure.
A lot of people see the first two chapters and that's where the flames come in, so for their sake I'd like to explain. In the beginning, I was rushing, maybe one day I'll go correct things, but as of now I have no plans to bother those two. Parthaker, you mentioned the council meeting, I thought about it and took your thoughts on it and decided that yea, most of that was a mashup of messups. I get that, I'll have Naruto and the Third go into that later. Now on Naruto's emotions, look at Sasuke, traumatized and broken, but he didn't let it show, other than being emo-ish. Naruto went mad because of it, I'll show in the next chapter, but his rage left a scar on not only himself, but Hinata, the third, Kakashi, Itachi, and the village. It wasn't simply a punch a hole in the wall mad, he killed civilians, sure they weren't innocent, far from it, but the guy killed them. The Third knew that it was easier to "banish" Naruto, rather than leave him around people who persecute him daily, it wasnt punishment. That's like sticking a kid you know can't have candy in a room with free candy and saying don't touch. Instead let him have time to vent ya. NO, no one except select few knew that Kushina and Minato were married, It was gonna be a public announcement after Naruto was boorn, but you see where that went. I won't explain what happened to Kushina just yet, nor will I explain her being alive, cause honestly I wrote the first chap before I read about her being the second jinchuuriki. On naruto killing civilians...well fuck you thats why...
Thats all for now, I actually did appreciate your review Parthaker, it put things in perspective. thanks all and Like always.
