Stricken

"A Berserker?" asked Naruto.

"I've heard about them. They are said to be the most dangerous group of people, but I thought they were a myth," said Kin.

"Oh we're more that that little girl. We Berserkers are blessed with great power by the First Berserker. Those he attacked, he turned into warriors like him. Then our gift gradually developed into an actual bloodline. Many feared our power and wished for our extinction, but I've survived and found out about the first two pure bred Berserkers," explained Riskoe.

Naruto had no idea what Riskoe was saying. It was too much for him to keep up with. Here he is being told that he's a Berserker and this guy has pretty much explained his bloodline in a short way. Yet somehow Naruto felt that there is more to his bloodline. As he is being deep in thought Riskoe noticed Naruto's dazed looked.

"I can see that history isn't your best subject. Simply put you, me, another guy are the last of our kind. But don't think that makes you special you're not even close to my level," said Riskoe.

"And why is that asshole?" asked Naruto.

"Because you haven't reached our true form yet," answered Riskoe.

"Hey, don't listen to him he's just trying to scare you," encouraged Kin.

'Too bad it's working,' Naruto mentally remarked.

"Oh right, there's still you to get rid of," said Riskoe as his crystal started to glow. Naruto moved in front of Kin when Riskoe shot at her. Naruto was momentarily stunned, but he managed to move again.

"I won't let you harm anyone just to get to me!" declared Naruto as he ran back into the forest.

"Well then, I guess I'll have to give you a crash course on Berserker 101," said Riskoe as he gave chase. A minute later Riskoe caught up with Naruto easily. After he was right beside Naruto, Riskoe's crystal started to glow again. "This crystal on my forehead lowers the temperature around me to paralyze my opponents," he explained as he fired at Naruto.

Before the beam hit him Naruto flipped forward to dodge the attack and retaliated by throwing a kunai at Riskoe. Riskoe dodged the kunai and rushed toward Naruto and fire his crystal again.

"We call it the stun-beam," said Riskoe as he continued to rush at Naruto again.

Naruto dodged the stun-beam and tried to slash at Riskoe with his chakra blades, but Riskoe dodged each of his attacks by side-stepping and then jumped into the air. He rolled in the air and then his blades flipped forward and started vibrating.

"These blades vibrate at high frequencies which allow them to cut through almost everything," explained Riskoe as he cut down two trees with his blades. Naruto managed to avoid the falling trees only to be kicked in the head by Riskoe's right leg. Naruto was sent flying to one of the fallen trees and hit it hard leaving a dent in the trunk of the down tree. "It looks like you're not familiar with these," taunted the older Berserker.

"DAMN IT!!!!" yelled Naruto as he lunged at Riskoe trying to strike him down with his chakra blade again. Unfortunately his arm was caught, Naruto tried to break free but Riskoe's grip was too strong.

"Looks like you failed the lesson," stated the elder Berserker as he opened his right chest plate.

Naruto could see the chakra gathering into Riskoe's chest right in front of him. The amount of chakra was enormous that if he didn't break free he would defiantly be dead. Off in the distance Kin saw a huge blast of chakra fly to the right about two miles in front of her.

"Holy shit! I don't know who fired that, but hopefully that kid got that guy," said Kin as she leaped toward the blast site.

Back with Naruto he managed to the blast, but he was exhausted. As he tried to get up Riskoe walked up to him. Naruto saw that the spikes on Riskoe's sides moved outward and air blew out and sucked in more air. Naruto also felt the chakra around him head toward Riskoe's stomach as well.

'He's absorbing the chakra around him! Does that mean he can use an infinite amount of chakra?' thought Naruto in shock.

"That was the Devastator, our kind's most powerful weapon. It's only drawback is that because it uses a large amount of chakra it cannot be use in repetition. Do you see now? The difference in power between your pre-Battle Clad form and the real deal. Now if we're done playing around I would like to take you back to Kekkei Kage HQ with me. As an important test subject that is," spoke Riskoe.

"Th…that's not going to Happen!" shouted the struggling young Berserker.

"You don't get it do you? If you continue to resist you will….." started Riskoe until his body froze up. To Naruto it looked like Riskoe's body was deforming. That was the last thing he saw before he blacked out.

Ten minutes later Riskoe recovered from the strange pause. He looked around, but he could not find Naruto anywhere.

"He got away, but that's not important right now. Just what the Hell just happened to me," Riskoe asked himself.

Naruto ran as fast as his legs could carry him across the village. It was all the same, blood was everywhere. The bodies of the villagers were laying on the ground. Most were cut into pieces and others burned alive. He couldn't stand looking at these people's remains. When he reached the academy he saw the students were all hanging on the walls of the academy. Their faces had the forever look of fear on them. They were all hung by spears that pierced right into their throats. The sensei's were all on the ground torn apart and/or flayed. Then Naruto saw the one sensei he hoped to never see in these condition. He saw Iruka, his head was severed from his body. His face showing a look of shock and fear.

"No… it can't be. No… Iruka-sensei," said the disbelieving Naruto as he ran to the severed head hopping to at least hold him one last time.

When he reached the head he saw a two toed foot drop right on the head crushing Naruto's sensei's head. Naruto stopped to see the owner of the foot thinking that it's Riskoe, but the figure vanished. Enraged by this action Naruto ran to find Riskoe and kill him for what he has done. After he left the academy he saw the rest of the Rookie Nin, their sensei's, and Team Gai facing the same figure who crushed Iruka's head.

Asuma was the first to attack the figure. He rushed at the being with his trench knives, but his arms were cut off in a second. Before he had a chance to scream the dark entity grabbed his head and squeezed it like it was a grape. Blood poured out from where Asuma's head was and he dropped to the ground. Kurenai angered by her lover's death lunged at the killer only to be caught by it. The murderer grabbed her throat and started to crush it, Kurenai struggled to break free but she finally stopped moving. The figure dropped her lifeless body to the ground and jumped into the air and dropped right on top of her body. The force of the fall punctured through the corpse and left two foot sized holes on her back.

Naruto watched in horror as everyone tried to kill this monster. Kiba and Akamaru rushed at the creature, but they were cut in half before they even reached it.

"Vibration blades? But how?" asked Naruto, but no one answered it was like nobody could hear him.

Then Shino used his bugs to attack the creature, but it dashed straight to him. Shino had no time to react as the killer grabbed him and threw him into a flaming ally nearby. Shino screamed in agony as the flames consumed him and his remaining bugs inside his body. Then this monster turned it's head and looked at Ino and pointed right at her. Ino was shaking in fear as the monster walked towards her. Before it reached her Shikamaru caught him in his Shadow Possession Jutsu, but it didn't stop the creature as he moved his left hand toward Ino. This caused Shikamaru to move his left arm as well. Suddenly a dark orb appeared from it's hand. The murderous entity shot the orb as Ino, it moved so fast she didn't have time to dodge. The orb went right through her chest leaving a clean hole behind. Ino was coughing blood and finally fell to the ground. Then the monster did the same thing to Shikamaru and he too fell to the ground dead.

Naruto was certain that this creature was Riskoe. He was the only one with this kind of killer instinct. Naruto tried to run to his surviving friends to save them but he couldn't move, it was like something was holding him back. He turned to see who it was and saw Riskoe holding him.

"What the?" said the confused Berserker. Then he heard someone yell and turned to see Chouji get cut in half by the waist down.

He saw Lee try his Konoha Senpu, but the mystery Berserker caught his leg and swung Lee right into a wall. The poor boy's body took the impact and survived, but the Berserker swung him again into the ground and then the wall again. Lee was barely holding on by a thread, then Gai ran to save his student only to have the Berserker throw Lee to him and fired another black orb at them. The orb went toward Gai's head and pierced right through Lee and then Gai. Neji and Tenten tried to attack the Berserker, but it moved to fast for them to keep up with. Then Tenten's body split vertically in half and Neji's head was sliced from eyes up. Both bodies fell to the ground simultaneously, then Kakashi rushed towards the killer with his Chidori but the Berserker caught his right hand and twisted his arm breaking it off. Kakashi screamed in agony but it ended when the Berserker ripped his jaw off and then snapped his neck.

The murderous Berserker turned to see the remaining members of it's would be opponents and smirked. It walked towards them, Sasuke lunged at the Berserker throwing kunai and shuriken at it only for the Berserker to ram it's fist into his forehead and rip his brain out. Blood and bits of Sasuke's brain flew everywhere frightening Sakura and Hinata. The Berserker walked towards the girls with the intent to do the same or worse to them. Sakura couldn't stand it anymore so she ran off leaving Hinata to defend herself. The Berserker saw this and cut Sakura off from escaping. He grabbed Sakura's head and yanked it off her body with one pull. Sakura's spine was also ripped along with her head. The Berserker then started walking toward Hinata. Hinata didn't move an inch, she too terrified of this Berserker. As it reached her it stopped in front of her.

"Why? Why are you doing this Naruto-kun?" asked the Hyuga heiress.

That one question shocked Naruto to the very core of his body. He turned away from Riskoe and looked at the Berserker. He couldn't make out the details but he saw the face and indeed it was his face. This Berserker Naruto's face was the same only this Naruto has a crystal with three spikes and a fox-like smirk only a fox demon would have.

"No it can't be that's me?" said the shocked Naruto. Then he heard the other Naruto to speak.

"Because it felt so good," said the other Naruto. His voice had an animal like sound to it as he spoke. "Now the real question is this. What am I going to do to you Hinata-chan?" teased the evil Naruto looking at her in a way that make even Riskoe feel uncomfortable.

"Please don't Naruto-kun, I l…," begged Hinata but the Berserker Naruto grabbed her by her jacket. He lifted her up and brought her close to him.

"I know what your going to say, but I prefer that we do it like THIS!!!" yelled the evil Naruto as he ripped her clothes off her body.

"NO!!!!! STOP!!!!!" yelled Naruto as everything started to fade.

"STOPPPP!!!!!!!!!" yelled Naruto as he shot out of the hospital bed he was on. His shout woke up everyone who was in the room.

In the room was Kin who fell off the couch after hearing Naruto shout, an strange looking old man, Kurenai, a bandaged up Kiba and Akamaru, and a slightly startled Shino if that is even possible. The last person in the room was the still injured Hinata who had woken up before Naruto even yelled. Naruto saw Hinata look at him and he got out of the bed and ran out of the room.

"N…..Naruto-kun wait," said the wounded Hinata as she tried to get out of bed only to be stopped by Kurenai.

Also for Naruto's nightmare that came to me as I was strangely enough in the shower. For those who wonder about Kin's role in the story, well she pretty much plays the role of the informative side-kick in a sense. That doesn't mean that's her only role, she is going to learn some new techniques from one of my Ocs. Try to guess which one it is and as for that orb move in Naruto's dream, that's a little teaser of one of the two last powers of the Berserker bloodline. Another thing for those who are wondering about Naruto's bloodline and want a better clarification. It is not created by the Kekkei Kage group, it is actually related to two already existing bloodlines.
