Give A Reason

One day after Jigoku and Itachi's first encounter with each other, Jigoku has decided to do the unthinkable, train. Sadly for everyone around his age he has no idea how to actually train. So he does what he does naturally, raise Hell of the poor village of Konoha. His first target was the same bar where he fought Ibiki and lost. When he entered the bar he saw a poster with his picture on it with the words 'refuse to serve' on a wall. He also saw six ANBU members watching him. The leader who was wearing a bird mask walked up to Jigoku. The two faced each other looking into one another's eyes. Jigoku can tell the ANBU was trembling.

"Listen you, you're not welcome here. So you better just leave and not cause any trouble right now," said the bird ANBU trying to sound confident. Jigoku just smirked after hearing the ANBU talk.

"Well sorry, but I'm not really here for a drink. In fact I was hoping to find some tough guys to spar with, but all I find are a bunch of wimps in reject Halloween masks who can even put up a fight," taunted Jigoku with the intention to get a rise out of the ANBU squad, it worked.

"Why you little son of a bi…" said the bird ANBU, but Jigoku elbowed him in the gut and did a back flip with his knees hitting the ANBU in the chin. The ANBU hit the ground and his teammates rushed at Jigoku with their killing intent flaring only for Jigoku to smirk and summon his chakra blades.

Meanwhile on the road Jiraiya, Kin, and Naruto were on their way to find Tsundae. For Jiraiya this journey was going to be harder than he originally thought. Ever since they left Naruto and Kin have been arguing over the most mundane things to past the time. Just three hours ago those two were fighting over which comic/manga hero is better. Now they are fighting over which they think is the best movie of the year.

"It's Transformers that's the best Kin!" yelled Naruto.

"Yeah right, Resident Evil: Extinction is way better than Transformers," countered Kin.

"Can't you two brats get along for once today!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Jiraiya having too much of their arguments.

"Shut-up!!!!!!" yelled Naruto and Kin as they punched Jiraiya in groan. Jiraiya dropped into the ground holding his manhood while the two continued to argue over their favorite movies.

At that same time, Orochimaru who is bedridden is alone with Kabuto and Kekkei Kage leader Rio discussing on their next move. Behind Rio are three figures, two were male and wearing standard shinobi gear. The third was female and was wearing an outfit similar to Anko only less skin is exposed. Her hair was a flaming red color and her eyes were a hazel brown. Her figure could match Tsundae's own figure easily. Her teammates were basically one tall muscular guy and a short slightly chubby guy.

"So Orochimaru, you're going to find your old teammate to take care of your arms?" asked Rio.

"Of course, Tsundae is the best at the medical arts. Only she can restore my arms," answered Orochimaru as he remembered his former teacher sealing his arms.

"Well then I guess I should let these three assist you on your quest," said Rio referring to the three people behind him.

"Why should I have them help me?" asked Orochimaru.

"Simple, my sources say that your other teammate Jiraiya has brought not only one of your former shinobi, but also Berserker 3 with him," answered Rio.

"Are you still going on about that ridiculous bloodline?" remarked Kabuto who was obviously not impressed with the Berserker bloodline.

"Apparently you don't pay attention to details," said the female. "Regardless of your opinion, you are not capable of defeating a Berserker, not even a child," she added to infuriate Kabuto.

"Oh and you can?" taunted Kabuto hoping to put the female in her place.

"By myself no. But with the aid of Znare and Likqid I'm sure we can at least slow him down," countered the female.

"That is enough Morfa, you and your team have your orders. Now prepare for your mission immediately," ordered Rio.

"Yes sir," replied the three Blood-Warriors as they left. As they leave Orochimaru turns his attention to Rio again.

"Are you sure it is wise to let them go with me? You told me that they are failed prototypes after all," mentioned Orochimaru.

"I don't expect them to crush the Berserker, but I do expect the Lost Blood unit to keep the boy busy while you get your arms checked. Besides they are quite useful if you know how to use them, and if they fail it's of no consequence to our plans," answered Rio.

"Whose plans? Kekkei Kage or yours?" asked Orochimaru with a smirk on his face.

Back in Konoha, Jigoku has just thrashed the six ANBU in the bar and was bored. So he went after some other poor bastards to train with. As he searched Jigoku came across Kiba's sister Hana who ran straight to him with her three dogs. Said dogs were growling at Jigoku, but they were ignored.

"Hey there cutie!" shouted Hana as she reached Jigoku.

"Do I know you? And if I do it wasn't me that burned down that flower shop," said Jigoku trying to save himself from sort of problem that he caused.

"What? No I'm Hana, the one who got my little brother's dog off of you during that ramen shop incident," said Hana trying to jog Jigoku's memory, sadly for Jigoku it work.

"Oh yeah, you're that one hot chick who likes dogs," answered Jigoku causing Hana to blush. "So any reason why you're here? I'm in the middle of trying to get some sort of training," he continued.

"Well I was hoping we could have lunch together. You know to get to know each other," requested Hana praying that Jigoku would say yes.

"I don't know, will any that you know that would try to kill me if I refused?" asked Jigoku in a serious tone.

"My mother might," answered Hana.

"Well then, my answer just basically died. Sure where at?" responded Jigoku out of the simple fact that you never anger a girl's parents.

"I know the perfect place," cheered Hana as she grabbed Jigoku's arm and led him off.

The two reached an open field in one of the forest areas of well a village hidden by you guessed it forest. Hana was watching Jigoku eat some dangos she gave him and her dogs were sleeping nearby. Jigoku finished his sixth dango and reached for a bottle of water when Hana decided to ask him a question.

"Hey, uh Jigoku. Are you and that other guy a couple?" she asked. The answer she got was Jigoku spitting his drink out and a small rainbow appeared over the spray of water.

"What!!!" yelled Jigoku. "Where did you get a warped idea like that?" he demanded.

"Well it's just that you two are always together, so I thought you two were gay," answered Hana thinking that she ruined her chance to win Jigoku's heart.

"Ryoga's my best friend. Nothing more, nothing less. Damn, what is wrong with this world nowadays? Is it a law that two guy who hang together have to be gay or something? I swear, there has to be something wrong with women these days to be asking questions like that," ranted Jigoku.

"Well I'm glad that's case. Anyway why are you trying to get some training? Aren't you already strong enough?" asked Hana.

"True, but I finally found someone stronger than me and I can't stand the fact that he ran out on me like I wasn't worth his time," answered Jigoku.

"Who?" asked Hana again.

"Some bastard that looks like that Uchiha brat," replied Jigoku.

"Itachi! Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" panicked Hana checking for any wounds on Jigoku.

"I'm fine, but do you know him?" asked Jigoku.

"Yes Itachi was the captain of our village's ANBU squad and the one who murdered his entire clan except his brother Sasuke. Why do you want to know?" answered Hana.

"Simple his bloodline is at a higher level and I want to fight him on equal grounds," said Jigoku remembering his fight with Itachi.

FLASHBACK

Jigoku looked around him only to see that the entire area was in different colors, mostly red and black. He tried to walk, but found that his legs were chained to the ground. He tried to pull the chains off, but they would not budge. Seeing that he couldn't break free Jigoku tried to use his chakra blades, but they did not appear.

"What the fuck?!" shouted Jigoku in disbelief.

"Can't break free, not surprising since you're in my Mangekyo. Now you will have the pleasure to suffer the torment of being stabbed by a thousand katana for seventy-two hours," said Itachi as the said katana appeared and thrust itself into Jigoku's gut.

The sword pierced Jigoku's stomach slowly as it went deeper in. To Jigoku it felt like something was trying to take something out of him. The second Berserker yelled in pain as he struggled to break free from his chains, but failed miserably. After what seemed like hours Itachi showed himself to Jigoku holding the katana.

"Now you have seventy-one hours, fifty-nine minutes and fifty-nine seconds to go," said Itachi in a monotone voice.

"WHAT!!!!!!!?????" shouted Jigoku as his torture continued.

END OF FLASHBACK

"I need to get stronger to beat that guy and also so I won't be left behind," muttered Jigoku. Hana watches Jigoku wondering about what he said.

Back with Naruto, Kin, and Jiraiya, they have managed to find Tsunade along with Shizune, and their pig Tonton. They tried to convince her to come back to the village to be the Godaime. Sadly their request fell on deaf ears, so Naruto decided on making a bet with Tsunade to get her to agree. The bet was that Naruto could master the Yondaime's most powerful move the Rasengan in less than a week. Ironically Naruto had no interest in learning the jutsu. So to fix this problem Kin made a bet with Naruto that she could master it before he does. That got Naruto to work on the jutsu, both of them were getting the Rasengan almost down, but still had some problem. As the week nearly reached it's end Tsunade decided to meet with Orochimaru and we know how most of that turned out until Naruto, Kin, Jiraiya, and Shizune arrived.

When they arrived Orochimaru and Kabuto suddenly called out thirty Oto-nin. They were armed with all sorts of ninja weapons. One of them was even armed with a zanbato. All of the Oto-nin looked ready to attack at a moments notice. Everyone looked at the ninjas and didn't like the odds. Except for Naruto, he was overjoyed, a trait he picked up from Jigoku no doubt.

"This could take forever to fight them. We better retreat now and head for cover," advised Shizune.

"Na, that's not necessary," said Naruto as he took off his jacket.

"What are you talking about gaki?" asked Jiraiya.

"I'm saying this will only take five minutes tops," answered Naruto as he walked towards the Oto-nin.

"Is he insane or something?" asked Shizune as she watched Naruto walk forward.

"No, what you're all about to see is Naruto's real power and trust me it's something you'll never forget no matter how much you want to," said Kin.

"What are you saying?" asked Tsunade.

"BATTLE CLAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Naruto as a large flash appear around him.

Naruto's skin started peeling off his body the same way as Riskoe's. To Naruto the feeling was painful and exciting at the same time. The vibration blades popped out of his forearms felt like being cut by a katana. Quick and sudden and his chest plates took form and his skin was replace with the same dark scale of a true Berserker. The Oto-nin watched in horror and amazement as Naruto's Battle Clad was finished. The Sanin were shocked at seeing Naruto's new body. Shizune and Kabuto were terrified by the fact that Naruto just went against all medical science with this transformation.

"Well what are you waiting for an invitation or something?" taunted Naruto.

The Oto-nin wasted no time in rushing Naruto, but Naruto leaped at them. He rammed his right knee into one ninja's chest so hard the ninja's chest had knee sized hole in it. Naruto used his left vibration blade to cut another sound nin's right arm off. Blood was flying everywhere and then Naruto used the same shinobi to propel himself to another. He land on the other ninja and stabbed him with his right vibration blade in the head and pulled it out. The other sound ninjas threw their kunai at Naruto who grabbed two kunai that had explosive tags on and threw them back. The two kunai exploded when they reached the Oto-nin and when the dust cleared Naruto was in the air and fired two pressure shots at two Oto-nin and then back flipped away from them. Naruto landed on the ground doing a single hand stand and twisted himself away from the ninjas. Naruto saw one ninja rushing toward him and fire a stun-beam at the ninja freezing him in his tracks. Naruto then saw the ninja with the zanbato and decided to borrow it. Naruto lunged at the shinobi and ripped his head off and grabbed the large sword with one hand. Naruto jumped into the air and land beside three Oto-nin and plunged the sword into their stomachs. After toying with the cannon fodder, Naruto decided to head for the main course. He sprinted towards Orochimaru and Kabuto, but the ground suddenly grabbed on to him.

At the same time as Naruto was tearing apart the Oto-nin, at a far off distance the three Blood-Warriors that Rio assigned to Orochimaru watched and waited.

"Morfa, should we attack now?" asked the tall man.

"In a minute Likqid, we need to wait for the right time," said Morfa. Then the shorter male started groaning.

"Gra…. The pain I can't stand it," groaned the short male.

"Znare's right, to the rest of Kekkei Kage we're nothing but guinea pigs to those bastards. Especially you Morfa, you're one of the few females who survived the experiments. So because of that they decided to fulfill their sick pervert fetishes on you because you're one of us failures," stated Likqid with the hint of venom in the word failures.

"Yes, but this is our chance to prove ourselves that we are more that just lab rats. I know that we may die facing the boy, but we will succeed no matter what. Let's go!" ordered Morfa as Znare began to change into a humanoid frog like being while Likqid melted into the earth.

"What the Hell?!" shouted Naruto as he tried to free himself from the ground only to see a face form on the earth. As he struggled Morfa and Znare walked straight to him.

"Feeling stuck kid? Well don't be shocked Likqid is designed to merge with the Earth after turning into liquid. So he can create a battlefield that is to our advantage," explained Morfa.

"Why you pieces of SHIT!" yelled Naruto as he moved his arms to form the pressure shot. His attack was stopped by Znare shooting a strange mucus at the boy's arms. Naruto's arms got stuck to his chest and the mucus hardened instantly. "What the…? Glue!?" he said in shock.

"Not just glue kid, it can merge with any living being and hold it fast. So you can say it's a snare for your death," boasted Znare.

"Had enough Berserker 3. You have no hope of beating me. For I too am a…" said Morfa as her body started to change. "Lost Blood…." she finished as blades appeared on her forearms like Naruto's. Her skin got thicker and a circular gem formed on her forehead. Naruto was in shock at what he saw.

"It can't be…." whispered Naruto. The overall form was nearly identical to his only female obviously. "A Berserker," he said in shock. 'There's a fourth Berserker? How is that even possible?' he thought in fear.

"Until now you have killed many Blood-Warriors. Now you will die facing your match another Berserker. Ha ha ha," laughed Morfa as she fired her stun-beam at Naruto.

Naruto dodged the attack as best he could. As for his allies, they watched in shock after seeing a woman turned into something like Naruto. For Kin she took a long hard look at the female Berserker. She looked hard at the overall body and noticed a few things missing. Her Devastator was missing as well as the rib like spikes on the stomach. This made her realize that this so-called Berserker is a fake.

"Naruto!!! Listen she's not a real Berserker!!!!!!!" shouted Kin trying to get his attention.

"What…?" asked Naruto then he looked closely at Morfa's gem. "You don't have a crystal at all. Kin's right you're not a real Berserker at all," he said as he tried to break free.

"So what you're good as dead now," said Morfa as she used her blade to attack Naruto. Luckily Naruto broke free of Likqid's hold, jumped away from Morfa's attack and kick her chin as he back flipped away. Once he landed Naruto was trying to rip his arms free from the glue.

"Fool if you try to get out by force your body will be torn to shreds," warned Znare as he watched.

"I don't care. If I lose this battle now who will stop you freaks? Who's going to bring Oba-chan to Konoha? And more importantly, who will protect my friends? WHO'S GOING TO PROTECT HINATA-CHAN!!!!!!!!!" yelled Naruto as he finally ripped the glue from his body and arms. The Blood-Warriors watched in horror as Naruto moved toward them. "None will ever understand. This is a battle I can't afford to LOSE!" he shouted as he opened his right chest-plate. Chakra was forming around his chest and he fired his Devastator at the two Lost Bloods.

"MORFA!!!!" shouted Znare as he pushed Morfa away from the Devastator. The blast vaporized Znare as Morfa looked in horror.

"Znare!! Likqid you dumbass!!! Why did you let him go?" demanded Morfa.

"I didn't… The brat broke free," explained Likqid, but Naruto rammed his vibration blade into the ground and Likqid was swinging around in agony.

"LIKQID!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!" yelled Morfa as she ran to her teammate only for Naruto to use his Hell Siren to shatter her left arm. "AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed.

"Save….me….Morfa….." begged Likqid as he reached out to her.

"Likqid…." whimpered Morfa as she tried to grab his teammates arm. Sadly her ally's form dissolved as so as they grabbed each other. "Likqid…No…." she muttered in sorrow. She looked at Naruto in rage. "You BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!" she yelled as she ran toward him. Their blades collided with each others, but Naruto's cut right through Morfa's.

That's enough

'Rio-Sama,' thought Morfa.

Retreat Morfa that's an order

'But sir,' she tried to convince.

Those are my orders! Retreat Now!

"Yes sir, but remember this Uzumaki Naruto I will kill you one day soon I swear it," threatened Morfa as she leaped into the air.

Two days after the battle with Lost Blood unit. Tsunade finally agreed to Hokage for Konoha. When Jiraiya tried to grope Tsunade during the walk only to to get two Rasengan sending him flying by Naruto and Kin. The rest of the Konoha genin were glad to see their new leader and their friends back. All except for Sasuke who is more interested in beating Naruto.
