Chapter 2
3 Years Later
3 years later, just 2 days before the day of the sealing of the Jinchūriki and the death of Konoha's most feared shinobi in Thirds shinobi War, Two ANBU stood a few feet on either side of a Giant size bolder twice their size.
From a distance the rock appeared to nothing but an ordinary grey rock, sitting in the middle of barren patch of land. However if one looked not with their eyes but rather their sense, senses developed through years of chakra training, not only would they see the real reality hidden behind the rock before then but they would also feel the amount of power coming from a point inside the rook.
For the past 3 years since the small battle and subsequent loss of lives, ANBU agents had been tusked with guarding this unusually site. For 3 years, there were no significant changes to the site. Except for brief spike of chaotic chakra emitting from the stone, blocked by the invisible barrier from harming anyone, nothing had changed. Until today, that is.
"This is torture" the ANBU on the right said to his companion. They had been standing there in silence for the better part of 3 hours, now the afternoon sun was getting to them.
"Well, I wonder whose fault is it we are stuck with this duty" the ANBU on the left replied in a voice laced with sarcasm and disgust.
"Oh come on don't tell me you are still mad because of that" the other ANBU, with a rat mask laughed nervously.
Mouse chose not to reply, there was no point.
"Hey, it's not like you didn't like it" Rat said pointedly scratching the back of his head, a smirk hidden behind his mask.
Mouse couldn't help but grin "I won't say it wasn't worth it, those girls were sure something else."
"How did you do it?" Rat asked mind travelling back to that night.
"Do what?" Mouse asked faining ignorance. He knew what his friend was talking about. That had been one of his best catches after all.
"Coming on tell me" Rat pleaded "how do you get all those girls to follow you like puppies"
Raising a finger under his chin, Mouse thought about it or appeared to be thinking about it. He just wanted to tease his friend a little.
"Come on, we are partners in crime" Rat pleaded, a note of desperation in his voice.
Shrugging, "Genjutsu" Mouse answered.
A spike of chakra from the object they were guarding, interrupted what was now about to become a disaster for every woman in the village, Civilian and Kunoichi alike.
"What the...that's more than any spike before" Rat whispered in fear as if the that which was sealed within could hear him through the layers of protective seals placed all over the site.
Indeed this was no ordinary spike of chakra. Unlike previous spike, this surge was actually visible. They could see the purple chaotic chakra begin flowing out of the rock.
"Hey look, the rock is cracking" Mouse point at the almost invisible rock.
"Report to the Hokage now." Mouse informed his companion in an authoritative voice.
Without a single words Rat vanished in a swirl of leaves, without saying a word. This was not the time to argue he knew.
Seconds later, Hiruzen appeared out of thin at the scene garbed in the traditional Kage gear, a white long cape with red patches.
With him was a contingent of Konoha's strongest ANBU, Neko, Weasle, Tenzo, Nebi and Inu.
"Any changes" Hiruzen asked inspecting the barrier, his mind racing with possibilities.
Standing straighter, Mouse gave his report. The aura that demanded absolute respect coming from the man before made him do so without leaving out anything. He was sure had the man wanted to know everything he did yesterday, he would tell the man every secret he had stored within his mind without being prompted to do. such was the strength of the old man's aura that most civilians unwillingly bowed in the presents of the man.
Nodding in satisfaction, Horizon pointed to Nebi. "Bring Kurenai Yūhi"
Turning to Neko he said "Bring anyone from Chunin to ANBU, Tenzo put the village on alert and the rest of you evacuate any Genin and civilian within a 300 meter radius".
"Yes, Hokage-sama" with a salute they all vanished leaving the old man to examine the barrier.
5 minutes later a group of Konoha's best shinobi where assembled at the sight, even the elusive Jiraiya who had been alerted for such an occasion was standing next to his onetime teacher watching the flow of purple chakra increase with each passing minute.
Hiruzen could help but frown as he prepared for battle, his Hokage attire having abandoned in favour of his battle garments, a black jumpsuit with gray shoulder armour kanji for "Third Hokage" was inscribed on the back, with a gauntlet strapped on his right arm. On his head a bandanna with a Leaf forehead protector was tied with long black straps.
As he tightened his garments, Hiruzen couldn't help but frown at the sight in front of him.
"What's wrong Sensei?" Jiraiya asked noticing his teacher's expression.
"Hmm, Jiraiya I may not know about sealing but don't such seals only break after a specific length of time? Something about this doesn't feel right" Hiruzen said thoughtfully his pipe still in his mouth.
Shrugging, Jiraiya simply said "maybe, this means the seals have done what they were supposed to do."
Inside the barrier, past the seal imbedded rock, all the way through the material, a representation of what was now powerful entity in all the Elemental Nations flexed its powers again. Each time it did so it could feel its prison weaken, with the weakening seal it could feel its vast awareness expanded.
This great awareness had spent the first year of birth in slumber. However after the initial year the entity had awakened the demon had awakened into the darkness of its material shell. and with nothing to occupy it began adjusted its consciousness to its new body.
Inside its mind there was nothing but endless oceans of purple energy, even now it could feel that power warp and changing it to its very foundation. After what felt like a millennium of floating in an ocean of power, soaking in its warmth and knowledge bit by bit for every passing second, the great awareness began to think. In acknowledging its existence, thinking lead to excitement which after years later gave way to boredom which in turn later gave way to anger then as it was now apart of its nature its mind had inevitably turned to skimming and plotting.
In time the great being had come to realise that it was trapped within its own mind rather than an unknown endless dark abyss. So without anything but thinking to do, it tried finding out more about its predicament and succeeded after numeral precious hours it finally managed to slightly awaken its body enough to feel the outside world.
It didn't take long for the demon to turn its attempts at escaping it prison. However after endless attempts it seized its attempts as its prison proved inescapable through brute force alone. Despite its vast power and knowledge it failed. And so without anything to do it kept on trying, by constantly flexing its energies through the rock covered seals, weakening the prison in the process, until it came across another barrier.
After a while, its prison became too weak, so much that it began feeling and experiencing the outside work. It began experiencing the shift of seasons and in time begun feeling other presents much lesser than it outside near the barrier.
Flexing its power again, it felt another crack as its prison weakened further. It could feel the seals binding his power weaken.
Pulling every ouch of power it could control into a single point, it prepared for one last final effort, one that he knew would bring down it prison.
Feeling the ancient malevolent chakra within the seal condense into a single point, Hiruzen pulled out his pipe before shouting "everyone get ready. You all know what to do."
Causing every shinobi in the area to take their battle stances while others prepared there jutsu.
Turning to the red eyed Jonin, he motioned her in front. "Remember what Kushina told you and don't show any weakness while facing it. If what she use is true them once he realises who you are, he should be more wary and afraid than you are of him".
Feeling a bit self-conscious from the stares boring into her back, Kurenai made her way towards the barrier until she was only a few feet away. She could feel her heart hammering through her ribs cage up her throat. In all her years o training this was nothing she had been trained for. Still her late friend had asked her to do this before her last moments in this world. Taking a deep breath she composed herself.
Okay, don't show any fear. Act like a mother, be stern and don't let him trick you, use your Intelligence to get through any trickery he might try to pull. But first and foremost make sure you act first before he does. She silently told herself, taking another deep breath.
Suddenly, an abrupt spike of tainted energy swept across every shinobi nearby leaving them shaken. A feeling of dread followed the spike striking at the shinobi's heats. A moment later an explosion tore through the area before everyone could gather themselves, making the ground shake and nearby animals flee in terror.
"HA-HA, I AM FREE AT LAST" boomed a demonic child like voice as the demon's power vaporised what was left of its prison to dust.
But first, I have to do something about this barrier, the demon thought eying the purple barrier in front of it with a frown, ignoring numerous chakra signatures it could fell outside the barrier. His face then twisted into a grin showing rows of impressive sharp canine teeth as an cunning idea formed in his mind.
As the dust settled what they saw had everyone present blinking. In the middle of the crater standing the same boy they had known 3 years ago. Standing naked, half of his body covered by very long blood red hair was Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. However unlike the boy that had been sealed 3 years ago his appearance had very much change from the last time anyone had seen him.
His face structure was now more defined and angular much like his father. The pair of whisker marks on both his cheek where no longer present. Besides from the length of his hair, Naruto's body appeared to not have suffered the effects of time. His body looked like that of a 10 year old the same age he had been before his rampage and subsequent sealing.
His new appearance aside, what made everyone's jaw drop to the ground was what the now red headed boy was doing. Naruto was crying. The only thing that kept most of the female and a few male member from going to the boy's aid was the shock and memories of the lives lost 3 years ago.
"I want my father. Where is father? Father, I am scared" Naruto cried, half his face covered by his forearm, tears streaming down his now unmarred cheeks.
Narrowing his eyes at the strange sight before him, Hiruzen felt something was off.
"Don't let your guard down this could be a trap" the old man shouted to his shinobi, snapping them out of their paralyses.
"I suggest, Kurenai to talk to him first" Jiraiya added his instincts honed from year as a spy and interrogator screaming warning at him.
Nodding in agreement Hiruzen motioned for her to do as Jiraiya suggested.
Walking nearer the barrier, Kurenai cleared her throat as she composed her nerves. Everything, the village and its people' lives were depending on her ability to do something. What that something was she wasn't sure but she knew her career, even her life depended on her success.
"Naruto-kun..." she said tentatively, walking closer to the barrier.
"Do you remember me?" asked now standing so close to the barrier that she could feel the heat emiting from it. She made sure not to come in contact with it. She knew any closer and Naruto would be the least of her worries.
This got Naruto's attention. His wails suddenly stopped before he dropped his hand to better see the person talking to him. He knew this voice. Wiping away his tears for a better look, he squint his eyes before letting them widen in recognition.
"Kurenai-san!" he exclaimed in joy almost running into the barrier before coming to a fast halt upon hearing Kurenai scream "STOP, don't come any closer. Stay where you are."
Her scream only seemed to increase his agitation. "Kurenai-san, what is going on?"
Feeling a breeze brush his skin, he looked down then blinked before looking about him; signs of panic now clear audible in his voice "Kurenai-san why I am naked? Why is everyone staring at me? Why is my hair long? How did I get here?"
Now his breath was becoming laboured, as panic and fear started taking dominance of his mind. Fresh tears could be seen shining in his now black slitted crimson eyes
"Father, where are you?" he looked at the faces before him, in hopes of spotting his father's familiar face among the mass.
"Naruto-kun, look at me" Kurenai's stern voice somehow snapped him out of his state taking his gaze away from the aces before him.
"Listen to me, your father is away on ninja business. Do you understand?" Kurenai said slowly in a comforting manner. Her voice seemed to be having the desired effect, as she watched Naruto's gaze fall on her once again.
Naruto's face furrowed up in confusion before nodding in affirmation.
"Good, now do you remember anything about how you got here?" she asked.
Naruto shook his head. "I remember playing with other children then, nothing after that"
His eyes widened "Did I do something wrong? "He asked, tears threatening to flow out again..
"No, you did nothing wrong." Kurenai reassured him quickly.
"Naruto-kun, can you do me a favour." Seeing Naruto nod, she continued "Don't move from where you a standing, I will be back, I promise. Do you understand?"
Naruto nodded again albeit a little bit hesitant. She couldn't blame him for being nervous. Had it been her in his position, her instincts would have been to try to disrupt her chakra flow hoping everything happen was a genjutsu.
"Do you think he is lying?" Hiruzen asked his onetime pupil having been listening to the brief conversation.
"Well, it's possible he is telling the truth, since he can only remember the moment before going berserk" Jiriaya said thoughtfully eying the boy.
"But I don't understand why he hasn't aged" the old hermit pondered aloud.
"My thoughts exactly" the Professor nodded. "It might be because of the seal, after all like all seals anything sealed within are locked in a virtual world".
"Or maybe it's a deception of sorts" Jiraiya said seriously.
Sighing, the old man could only nod; for once he was beginning to feel his age. That thought had also crossed his mind and right now they could afford any mistakes.
"Okay, everyone on alert" he yelled, his voice travelling across the field for all to hear. Every ninja present prepared for the worst.
"Kurenai, remember thanks to Kushina you have some measure of control over him. We are counting on you." He said to the red eyed kunoichi standing before him. He could tell by the slightly almost unseen stiffening of her shoulders that his message had got through whatever had been on her mind.
Taking a deep breath, the old man's hands flashed through a number hand seals that were designed to bring the barrier down.
Naruto stood still where he was, the purple barrier that had been keeping him caged suddenly flickered like a dying flame then went out just as sudden.
He couldn't hold in any longer, he grinned, a grin worthy of his kitsune heritage.
"I don't believe you all fell for my little act" he said showing sharp teeth before dropping his transformation the first technique his father had taught him when he was five. "But then again I had the barrier working in my favour blocking all your probes to the point you couldn't feel even the slightest demonic chakra being used and thanks to all the free time I had, I managed to figure out how to use my chakra to do simple things like transformations."
With the transformation off, Naruto's real appearance was laid bare for all present to see. His body was now that of a boy entering manhood. Everything else, his face and muscles appeared to be sharper and angular. Behind him however was something that had been hidden by the transformation. Swaying lazily behind him was a long bushy tail the same red colour as his hair.
Eyes narrowed, Jiraiya said the first thing on everyone's mind. "Who are you? What have you done with Naruto?"
Widening his eyes in glee, Naruto turn his slited eyes on the Hermit. "Ah, it's good to see you too Jiraiya-san"
"Answer the question" Hiruzen said firmly making Naruto blink, taken back by the man's tone and power flushing in his eyes.
Shrugging nonchalantly, "I am Naruto of course" he proclaimed with a smirk.
"Now that the introductions are over, it's time to get into business." He added and with that a large ball of blue flames the size of a building erupted above him hot enough that all present could feel the emitting from it before shrinking into a small orb the size of his fist in his palm, shocking everyone present as none of them had expected that level of power.
"Now, who should I kill first?" Naruto thought aloud fuelling the ball of fire with more demonic energy, its size now the size of a human head. He let his eyes scan the surrounding shinobi looking for his first target ignoring the scent of fear and whispers floating throw the air.
Not find a suitable target he just shrugged and said "why bother killing one if i can kill many with this technique alone.", as he prepared to launch the sphere.
"Naruto what do you think you are doing."Sarutobi yelled now angry snapping out of his paralysis induced by the display of power." What would your father think with you trying to destroy the same village he died protecting?"
Naruto blinked. He paused, letting the statement from the Monkey summoner to penetrate his mind.
Having spent what felt like a decade alone in his mind, Naruto like any other being had almost driven himself insane asking himself why his father and mother had left him alone in darkness. Of cause after a while his thoughts had twisted upon themself after realising the futility of its all. So while in his imprisonment his thoughts had begun revolving around how to punish those who had placed him in such a situation to begin with, his father included. Now that his father was dead, someone whon even Kyuubi had respected dead, there was no-one to stop him from burning the village to the ground.
Sure the number of shinobi present was large enough to defeat him with his power and body not yet fully unlocked, at his current level, the first tail representing fire he calculated he might have enough chakra to burn a good number of them and the village before being sealed or something along those lines.
A grin started spreading across his face making every shinobi around tense as tout as a string on the verge of snapping. His mind start going in every direction, he knew they couldn't risk sealing him again in a row that meant their only option was to fight until he gave up or well, they died or they something up their sleeves, a tramp card of sorts. He was banking on the later as the first choice would be sacrificing countless shinobi for no reason as they had no way of knowing just how strong he was.
Even limited to his current form, his red skin could withstand much physical damage that would heal in a matter of seconds. In his current state his body could only absorb and fire techniques thrown at him but he didn't want to take chances, who knew what kind of jutsu a shinobi had under his sleeve late alone the Hokage and Sannin?
His grin suddenly vanished, to be replaced by wariness.
"Well it's a pity his dead. I bet the fool sacrificed himself to seal me in that rock, which would explain why I couldn't break the stupid bolder no matter how much I tried."
The only answer he got was a slight widening of the eyes from some of the shinobi. Unfortunately for him both the Toad Sanin and Monkey contract holder showed no reaction whatsoever.
Their silence only made him feel agitated "My only regret in that I shout have been the one to kill him" he said hoping to get a rise out of one of them. It worked.
"Stupid boy do you know how much you father and mother sacrificed for you to..." the Toad Sage began his tirade only to be cut short by his Sensei.
"Don't Jiraiya, can't you see he is trying to provoke use into revealing something." Hiruzen said making Jiraiya feel embarrassed at fooling for such an obvious trick.
This however had an opposite reaction on Naruto, it only server to make him wary of everyone around him.
Do they know something I don't, he asked himself. Surely whatever it was it couldn't hope to defeat him but then again Kyuubi had thought the same before losing.
Curing silently, Naruto kept his turmoil inside, not showing any outward sign of what he was feeling the sphere of blue fire he was holding wasn't helping at all. If fact its heat was making things worse. His mood begun getting worse with each second he hesitated.
"Graaaaaahhh!" he snarled throwing all caution to the winds.
Everyone was taken by surprise at the sound that escaped the demon child's mouth. They were so startled that none of them even reacted when Naruto cocked his hand to throw the ball of blue flames.
Just as the sphere was about to leave his hand a shout wept through the air with enough power and authority, freezing him on the spot to his shock and befuddlement. "NARUTO-KUN STOP!" swept
He was dumbstruck he was at a loss of words. And he wasn't the only one; everyone present included the owner of the voice was just as perplexed.
The ball of fire winked out of existence.
He tried to move. Not even a single muscle bugged. All he could to was blink in incomprehension.
He tried again and nothing happened. His muscles simply didn't want to comply with his brain.
Incredulity gave way to fear.
What kind of jutsu was this? He begun to panic. He felt very venerable at that moment.
His state of panic did not last long however, in fact the whole shifting process only took a couple of seconds on the outside world.
Now he felt angry, turning to the bitch who had done this to him, he snarled "What have you done to me, you stupid woman?"
Kurenai who at that moment had been wondering the something, glared at Naruto. She didn't understand what was going on but she couldn't let his insult pass like that.
Narrowing her red eyes, "Now listen here you brat, i know your father did not teach you to talk like that. If keep this violence up I am going to leave you stand there for the whole night." She spate out angrily. She wasn't sure about that last part but hoped it was true.
This sudden swing in her mood caught everyone by surprise. Even Hiruzen was impressed.
There was silence Naruto was at a loss. Then his crimson eyes narrowed, eyeing her like a fox sighting game " My mother must have done something before she left," he mused aloud, suddenly calm.
"That's the only explanation I can think of." He paused "I can see it now, yes"
He nodded to himself "it makes perfect sense now. My mother knew of my adolescent crush for you, Kurenai-san" He went on, ignoring a blush on his cheeks, no longer seeing the world around him except his crush "so she concluded that if anything went wrong you would be the right person… of cause she was my mother thus she was right but when things went out of control she must realised my unrequited love for you was the only way to way to save the village and somehow she reinforced to feelings somehow…..." His body deflated in defeat.
"I should have escaped the village then put a larger bounty on her head and let assassins to the job. Not that wouldn't have worked..." he trailed off mumbling incoherently under his breath.
Now Kurenai was dumb struck she had known of the boy's feelings but knowing that those same feelings she had thought silly, gave her power over one of the most if not the most powerful being in the Elemental nation was shocking and she had to admit thrilling. But as the red head child keep talking, her feelings became something else.
"...hmm wait if this jutsu or whatever relies on my feelings then wouldn't any negative emotions weaken her control over me."
Sarutobi, who had been following Naruto's mumblings, became distraught with each point the demon child made. Demon child?.. Where did that come from?
What the child was saying actually made sense. Since Kurenai's control over him steamed from his one sided love towards her, so to speak, any negative feelings from the boy would weaken that control.
Naruto's rumblings stopped, as his mind went over drive. That was when a thought struck him. Is it possible that Kurenai-san now had a boyfriend?
Jealousy spiked in him. How would he know? That would make sense, after he had been sealed for a long time; there was enough time for anything to happen. From there things deteriorated very fast.
The spike of jealousy from before began to grow. Without realising it his mindset had reverted to that of a pubescent boy thinking with nothing but his hormones.
As his mind began to conjure unpleasant images his jealousy became to change into rage. Before his rage could completely overwhelm his senses, his demonic instincts took over. Sure his feelings of jealousy might be a little fabricated on his parts but the possibility of such a things happening was highly plausible, his new view on things told him that.
Marshalling his rage into one focused thought, he channelled it into energy much like would do when molding chakra. As this energy built-up an aura of red chakra erupted from his body beginning visible to the shinobi around him.
The aura of anger, unnatural rage surrounding Naruto, froze everyone to thee stop some even forgot their need for breathing. A few shinobi still fresh in their career, those who never felt such an intense concentration of rage before simply passed out from the images contracted by the mind as it tried to comprehend the fear its body felt.
This shift, the doubt gave him enough strength to overcome the compulsion placed on him.
This time the fire ball Naruto brought forth was bigger than before. Floating above Naruto the fire ball dwarfed any fire elemental fire ball ever used.
Screams of terror where drowned by Naruto's sinister laughter as his body was under his control, his hand up praised upright manipulating the sphere of blue fire with his thoughts.
"HAHAHAHAHA, you almost had me there. For a moment I dared think I was brought to heel by some weak stupid bitch." He chuckled darkly looking at Kurenai with anger and loathing, pinning her to the spot with intensity of his eyes.
Kurenai tried to flee, to run, to cower away from those blood rubies pinning her with the weight of the world on her shoulders. The killing intent coming from Naruto was rising with each second. It reminded her of the time of the attack but this time her father was not present to save her.
"Did you think such a weak compulsion would hold me?" He sneered in contempt.
"How did you escape from the conditioning you mother placed on you?" Sarutobi managed to ask through the killing intent suffusing the air.
"Oh come on now old man, you are smarter than that. Surely you have guessed how by now. If not let me give you a hint...hmm I might be a child inside but with the demons power and way of thinking..." he trailed off. There was no point in hiding what he had just done.
"What does he mean, Hokage-sama?" Kakashi asked easily fighting off the effects of the killing intent. He could tell Naruto's killing intent was no way as near that of the original demon. Kyuubi's rage alone had been enough to course instant death to those weak willed whereas Naruto's intent simply knocked them out.
"Hmm it doesn't make sense, I always thought such things were permanent until removed and even then..."the Hermit trailed off not understand what the boy was getting at.
"True but there is another way around such compulsions. What Naruto just did was sort of convince himself that his feelings for Kurenai were no longer valid. In fact I suspect that he convinced himself to a state of jealousy which carried on until he grew angry." Sarutobi said summoning a long staff from a seal on his person.
"That's impossible" Jiraiya stated, shouting a little. "There is no way he could lie to himself like that. Deep down wouldn't he know that what he was thinking was false, thus negating his efforts to overcome the compulsion?"
"That's also true but he didn't have to lie to himself." the The God of Shinobi shook his head. "He simply rationalised, used facts that are based on reality and truth."
Kakashi's single eye widen in understanding.
"That explains why he is looking at Kurenai like that." Kakashi nodded everything clicking into place. Such a thing was possible. During his time in the ANBU such an ability was something highly valued as shinobi with that kind of ability could keep information even under torture and from mind expects like the Yamanaka.
Mind…hypnosis, an idea comes to him prompting him to unveil his other eye from its confined.
"Hmm Now who to kill first?" the young demon taunted serving the fear he could practically smell thanks to his advanced, heightened sense of smell. He needed to vent his rage before their shock wore off as from the corner of his eye he could see the Sandaime and the Toad Sanin gearing up to fight. At his current state he highly doubted, no, he knew he couldn't hope to win against such overwhelming numbers.
Glancing at the sheep in front of him, he frowned when his eyes landed on one shinobi standing next to the old man. Silver spiky hair, a face mask that covered the face and a red eye, Naruto blinked, momentarily taken aback by the shinobi's bizarre appearance. It wasn't everyday that one saw a shinobi with two different set of eye with one of them being the famed Sharingan. A dojutsu his father alongside the pale Byuukugan he had spoken of highly of their ability.
Abilities aside Naruto could understand how Kakashi, his father's student had gained such an eye and now that he looked at the myriad of face before him he couldn't spot any red Sharingan eyes aside from Kakashi.
Bringing his gaze back to Kakashi's spinning eye he watched in fascination as the dots, tomes his father had called them spinning around a set path. After a few moments of staring at those eyes he felt something pushing against his mind. Frowning in confusing and wariness he tore his gaze from the dojutsu. There was something about it that unsettled him, set his teeth on edge. Still his blood lust needed to be appeased before his mind can settle.
"Almost had him." Kakashi sighed under him breath.
"It didn't work huh?" the toad Hermit asked watching his student's son with the corner of his eye.
"Yeah, it seemed the boy is too worked up for the Sharingan's hypnosis ability to put him to sleep or under a genjutsu."
"At least it was worth a try." He added more to himself than anyone listening.
"WHAT'S THAT FOOL DOING!" Sarutobi's shout brought everyone's attention to a figure charging at the enraged Naruto from behind. "I EXPLICITLY ORDER EVERYONE TO STAND DOWN."
Unfortunately for the watching shinobi and fortunately for Naruto whos bloodlust was about to be quarlled the enraged charging shinobi did not heed the warming beside it was already too late do anything about it.
Dashing with great speed made more so by pumping chakra to his body, Koidokuro made a mad charge at the demon from behind in hopes to run the demon down with his ninjato. Along a few shinobi present, Koidokuro and his late brother and had been present during that fateful day when the young boy had succumbed to the demon sealed within. While the detail pertaining the incident with kept secret and sealed the only thing that mattered to his was that while he had survived his brother however had been with the unlucky few to be caught in the sudden bust of the demonic chakra that had killed many of the shinobi that had been present.
After years of wallowing in grief this was his only chance to avenge his brother.
"IT'S TIME TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY BROTHER!" the crazed shinobi blurred towards Naruto at inhuman speed.
"That fool what does he think he is doing?" Jiraiya swore loudly. "There is no knowing how the boy would act when attacked." He finished with a curse.
Sarutobi grnning his teeth together, there were nothing he could do but wait and watch like everyone else. He had hoped to avoid any confrontation at possible. Without having a level on the boy's abilities a confrontation was the worst possible thing to do.
As they all watched, some with bated breaths others with curses on their tongue they waited to see what was going to happen. How was the demon before them going to act?
A few were actually hoping their fellow shinobi would run the demon down. Only the smart and well costumed to the intricacies of battle realized what precarious position Koidokuro was in despite the element of surprise he probably assumed he had.
So consumed by his anger and grief, and coupled with the speed of his charge Koidokuro had no way of avoiding what happened next. As he charged at his target, his ninjato pointed ahead of him, Koidokuro eyes widened in horror as in slow motion the same sphere of fire Naruto had called forth as if it had a mind of its own suddenly shoot at his direction at unbelievable speed with no intentions off stop.
Every shinobi watched in morbid horror as their fellow shinobi with no means to alter his trajectory was slowed whole by royal blue flames. Koidokuro didn't have the chance to scream as his life liquid started boiling in his veins and his flesh was incinerated from his bones at an unbelievable rate.
After the flames where done with him all that was left of their shinobi was a pile of black ashes as even his bones had been reduced to ashes from his amount of heat.
Shocking silence followed.
