Goodbye
Inside a massive mountain called Mt. Guyot lies the Kekkei Kage base. Inside the mountain is their largest research lab which studies a large strange double helix like structure. Below that is the development labs, which is responsible for creating more newer Blood-Warriors. Far from it are the prison cells for the new test subjects. Inside the one cell holds seven captives. One of which is the person six of them failed to rescue, Iruka. The other happen to be Kurenai, her charge Hinata, the weapon mistress Tenten, former Oto-nin Kin, mind-swiping Ino, and split personality Sakura. A few days ago they managed to reach Mt. Guyot before Naruto did, because Naruto never bothered to learn where Mt. Guyot is located at. When the arrived they were immediately captured by a squadron of Blood-Warriors. During their time captured, the Konoha shinobi were loosing hope despite Hinata and Kin trying to encourage everyone that Naruto will come and get them out. As soon as Iruka heard that he became more worried because the two kunoichi said that he'll most likely be coming alone. To calm his mind Kin for the second time broke her promise about keeping Naruto's bloodline a secret. She told Iruka everything that she told Tsunade and her teammates, sadly Iruka became more concerned about Naruto.
"And that's the whole story," finished Kin who just finished her story to Iruka, who took it quite well.
"My heart goes out to him. How can this happen? How could something like this happen to a good kid like Naruto? It's like some sort of bad dream," muttered Iruka as he took everything to heart.
"No, it's not a dream. Because dreams eventually end, this is more like a nightmare," said Hinata as she remembers the Hyper-Blood Noyize and Naruto in battle clad form. "We're all seeing Naruto-kun's nightmare," she added as she broke down into tears and was being comforted by Kurenai.
Meanwhile the prison guard saw someone walk towards him. He noticed that the person walking over to him in a strange manner. Before he could respond, the intruder rushed toward him and rammed a serrated short spear right into his gut. The captured ninjas saw this and were shocked to see that it's Jigoku.
"Wuz-up dawgs?" asked Jigoku as he looked at each of the ninjas. "I must say I'm impressed. I would have never of thought about letting myself get captured by my enemies just so I could find the hostage and then wait for the guard to get careless and then escape," commented Jigoku who smirked when he saw Kurenai lower her head down knowing that she never planned that at all. "Oh well let's get the Hell out of here," he said.
"What do you mean?" asked Iruka.
"What? You thought the runt was the only Berserker? I'm hurt," joked Jigoku as he activated his chakra blades. Only this time the blades were actually vibration blades to everyone's surprise including himself. "Well that's new. Anyway stand back," he added as he cut the cell door into pieces. After getting the shinobi out of their cell, Jigoku led them to what they hope was an exit. Of course they had to go through an army of Blood-Warriors first. At first Jigoku faced only a small number of Ramos, but Jigoku soon enough were fighting swarms of all types of Blood-Warriors. As Jigoku lay waste to all that stood in his way he was being watched by both Rio and an old man via monitor.
"So this is one of the last two Berserkers? I must say I'm a little impressed by his performance," said the old man.
"Indeed, he is more of a threat than the boy. So Dr. Minakami, do you think your prized Hyper-Bloods have a chance at beating him?" stated Rio.
"Don't underestimate the power I put into making the elite 'Hyper-Blood Team 5' Rio. They are more than enough for this punk," warned Dr. Minakami. "Hm…. What's that?" said the doctor as he watch Jigoku's left arm was engulfed in flames.
"HELLBREAKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" shouted Jigoku as he threw his left are out.
After killing the Blood-Warriors chasing them, Jigoku launched a very powerful fire attack from his left hand at the tunnel they used to escape. The shinobi he was with are still amazed at how Jigoku can face these mutants on equal footing and not be exhausted. He has been using every attack he's got in his arsenal, but they could never have imagined that he had this attack. The fire attack destroyed the tunnel making it impossible for anyone to dig through it. Just when Iruka was about to ask him why he did that everyone saw that his left arm was torn and shredded with a large amount of blood spraying out. Iruka and Kurenai were about to move to his side when Jigoku stopped them.
"Don't worry about me. This is just a side affect after using my Hellbreaker," said Jigoku as his bloodline began healing his arm.
'Amazing. Even after using an attack like that, he's still able to keep going,' thought Kin as she watched Jigoku's arm repair itself.
'With power like that this guy could easily beat all three Sannin by himself,' thought Kurenai.
"If this is how strong this guy is, just imagine how Naruto will turn out when he gets older," whispered Ino to Tenten.
"Yeah, to be honest I wish I had that kind of power," responded Tenten.
"So…. Does that I get to have Naruto," asked Ino.
"Hell no. He's mine," snapped Tenten. Before the argument could get larger Jigoku sensed that they weren't alone.
"Five of them huh?" said Jigoku who turned to the path they were heading toward. "Why don't you show yourselves so we can play you oversized sewer rats," taunted Jigoku.
Just up ahead of everyone stood five figures. Four of them are males and one of them is female. One male was tall and thin with a shaved head, the other next to him was huge with loads of muscles and dark skin. Another was average height and built with a Mohawk and the last male looks like an older version of Shino only without the sunglasses. The female of the group had a built similar to Anko with brown hair in a ponytail. All five of them were dressed in shinobi attire save the Aburame looking guy who looks like well every Aburame.
"Heh, lucky me. I was worried that this would be to easy. Thank God we ran into some more playmates," said Jigoku who was making everyone question his sanity.
"You're gonna wish that's what we are after we're done with you," stated the Aburame as he and the others changed their forms.
The Aburame looking guy's body expanded and changed into some sort of human bug hybrid similar to a Beetle of some kind. The dark skinned man grew taller and grew an extra pair of arms under the first pair. The tall guy had four tentacles sprout out from his lower back and strange jell like glands forming on his stomach and on top of his bald head. The one with the Mohawk, his shoulders expanded like Vacore's only with spikes and the Mohawk turned into horns. The female's hands turned into vibration claws and no real changes after that. Jigoku smirked at seeing the transformations.
"And here I thought I was in trouble. My bad," boasted Jigoku as he threw a punch at the one with four arms, but his fist was caught by the Blood-Warrior's left lower hand. "What?!" yelled the shocked Jigoku. The Hyper Blood with more arms threw three punches at Jigoku at the same time and the elder Berserker was sent to a wall.
As Jigoku recovered the Hyper Blood with spikes fired two of his spikes at him. Jigoku leaped to the left and the two spikes exploded when they hit the wall. Everyone was shocked to see the explosion except these Hyper Bloods. Before anything was said the spike Hyper Blood fired more explosive spikes at Jigoku. Jigoku tried to dodge the attack but was hit in the back. The impact caused him to roll toward the shinobi, he tried to get back up with his ki rising.
"Son of a….." cursed Jigoku as he prepared to use his Hellbreaker again.
"FOOL!!!!" shouted the spike Hyper Blood who fired another spike straight at Jigoku's arm. The spike struck Jigoku in the arm and exploded causing to have his arm blown off. Jigoku's arm flew away from him as his blood sprayed freely into the air and he screamed in pure agony from it. "How do you like my high explosive bio-darts?" taunted the Hyper Blood.
"Do you see now Berserker 2? We're not like the other Blood-Warriors you've ever faced," said the bug type Hyper Blood.
"Indeed, even if you are a Berserker. You are only one human with limits, unlike these five specially made Hyper Bloods I've personally created," boasted Dr. Minakami who walked towards them with Rio. Everyone was shocked to see Rio alive.
"You mean they're Hyper Bloods?" asked Kin looking at each one.
"Correct little girl," answered the female Hyper Blood. "But we're not like the others. We are the elite of the core," she added.
"That's right and allow us to introduce you the your executioners. My name is Tol-ZX," said the beetle type Hyper Blood.
"I'm Blasker," said the spike one.
"The name is Thrashzerb," said the four armed one.
"I'm called Elegon," said the tentacle one.
"And I'm Zenclaw and we are……" finished the female.
"THE HYPER BLOOD TEAM 5!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled all of them.
'Hyper Blood Team 5,' thought all the shinobi as the looked at each of the dangerous looking mutants.
"Tol-ZX show them your power and finish them," ordered the doctor.
"Yes sir," replied Tol-ZX as the hornlike crest on his head split open to reveal a strange lens that start gathering chakra.
Before Tol-ZX could fire his chakra beam at the shinobi. The ceiling collapsed above them and debris and dust covered the area. When the dust cleared everyone saw Naruto standing between the two opposing forces and he looked pissed. To the kunoichi there Naruto was as close to a guardian angel they were going to get. To the Hyper Blood Team 5 this was there chance to get rid of both Berserkers. To Kurenai seeing Naruto in his Battle Clad form was like looking at a demon in a human's body. For Iruka, seeing Naruto like this is a shocker.
'Is that really Naruto? That thing is my favorite student?' thought Iruka as he looked at the young Berserker.
"Runt….be careful…these bastards….aren't like…..the others….we've….face," said Jigoku in a raspy voice.
"Aniki?" said Naruto as he looked at his wounded brother holding onto his stub of an arm.
"I'll teach you to turn you back on us!" yelled Zenclaw as she charged at Naruto. Reacting quickly enough Naruto managed to barely dodge each of her attacks. He moved back into a wall and duck when Zenclaw impaled her right hand into the wall. "grr…. I'll say this you're pretty fast but," said Zenclaw as she pulled her hand out of the wall. "Not fast enough," she added as slash marks appeared on Naruto's body.
"What!?" said a shocked Naruto as he looked at his cut up body.
"Surprised? Well don't be, my claws produce the same high frequency vibrations like your elbow blades," answered Zenclaw as she prepared for another strike. This time Naruto used his right vibration blade and collided with Zenclaw's vibration claw. Zenclaw jumped back in surprise as the vibration weapons reacted to each other causing a screeching feedback effect. "Impossible! The vibration weapons were reacting to each other," she mentioned as she looked at her claws.
"Look!!" yelled Elegon who was watching Jigoku use his Hell Siren to create a tunnel in the walls.
"Runt! Grab your teacher and let's get the fucking Hell out of here!" yelled Jigoku as he limped his way towards the tunnel.
"Right!" shouted Naruto as he dashed towards Iruka. "Grab on Iruka-sensei!"
"Okay," said Iruka as he grabbed Naruto's hand.
"Oh no you don't I'll….ah!" yelled Blasker who was interrupted by Jigoku using the Hell Siren on him, but Jigoku couldn't even kill him.
"Damn it I can't get a good fix on him. I'm too drained," complained Jigoku as he was helped up the tunnel by Kurenai much to Jigoku's discomfort.
As the shinobi escaped with the Berserkers, the Hyper Blood Team 5 were about to give chase. Just as they reached the tunnel, Naruto collapsed the tunnel with his Hell Siren to block the path. A pissed off Tol-ZX was about to dig his way through, but Dr. Minakami had other plans.
"Tol-ZX don't continue the pursuit," ordered the aged man.
"But why Doctor?" asked Tol-ZX.
"Yes please explain why," demanded Rio.
"Because I have something special in store for those two 'Monsters' in the form of that man," replied Dr. Minakami as he started laughing.
"You are a cruel old man," commented Rio as he too started laughing.
As the shinobi and Berserkers rushed back to Konoha. The girls spotted the gate and ran towards it. Kurenai was by Jigoku's side making sure he doesn't drop to the ground like he should be. As for Iruka and Naruto, things were a little awkward for the older man as he looked at the boy who is like his own son.
"Eh? Naruto," called out Iruka.
"Yes Iruka-sensei?" asked naruto.
"Well uh….I guess the get up would make it hard for you to blend in the village right?" asked Iruka trying to break the silence.
"Eh…not really. I can change back," answered Naruto.
"Right, I guess so, but it must be hard take a bath in," joked Iruka.
"Yeah I guess so," laughed Naruto.
'What am I saying? Can't I think of anything normal to say? But what is normal anymore? Now that I just saw Naruto looking like some demon fighting those monsters,' thought Iruka.
'I want to say something, but I don't think now is the right time,' thought Naruto as they entered the gate seeing Tsunade, Shizune, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Asuma, Gai, Ryoga and the male genin. 'I'll tell him everything when he's settled in,' he finished as he walked towards Jigoku.
"Man Jigoku you look like shit," joked Ryoga as he extended his hand trying to help his buddy out.
"Fuck off!!!!!!" yelled Jigoku as he smacked Ryoga's hand away from him. Suddenly Jigoku's flesh started cracking all over him. "What the fuck?!" he yelled in pain and his body was being engulfed in flames.
The flames were turning his flesh into ash and started to fall off. The ninjas around him moved away in shock and fear as they watch him burn in agony. His eyes burst into flames and fire was coming out of his mouth as he yelled. His left arm started growing back but it was just bones. In a huge flame Jigoku was going through a transformation unlike Naruto's. When the flames cleared what stood there was not the Jigoku they all know and either tolerate or fear. He was slightly taller, with a strange ninja-like outfit. His pants were black traditional ninja pants and his top was black with a blood red vest cloak thing draped over his shoulders and move towards his stomach forming a cloth that goes between his legs covering his crotch. He has two toed feet with spiked shin guards and gauntlets with four small spikes facing forward. One spike on top, bottom, and on the sides on each gauntlet. Also on his gauntlets are long spike like blades that look like vibration blades. Covering his head was a hood and mask that covers his mouth and nose. Around his waist is a triple wrapped chain with an emblem of a skull with fangs in the center. (Picture Scorpion's Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 outfit only with crazy spikes.)
The gathered ninjas were frightened with this Jigoku's new look and saw him move his right hand. They got ready to attack if he struck, but were shocked to see him ram his fist into his own face. Suddenly his body shattered and revealed Jigoku in his own Battle Clad form. The only things different about his compared to Naruto's is that he has two vibration blades on each arm. The second pair are about 30 degrees away from the first set. The second difference is that his dreads are like flexible spikes. Also on his head was a two spiked crystal in the form of a V.
"Now this is more like it," said Jigoku as he looked himself over.
Two weeks have past and things seem to have return to normal. Jigoku after gaining his Battle Clad form continued to cause trouble. This time it's on his target are the Hyper Blood Team 5 who hunted him down when Jigoku left the village. Meanwhile Iruka and Naruto were spending some so-called 'father son time' together. Instead of eating ramen at Ichiraku like always they had their ramen to go. They went to eat at the same location in the forest where Naruto defeated Mizuki and where Naruto learned the Kage Bushin no Jutsu.
"So Naruto," said Iruka as he finished his ramen.
"Yes Iruka-sensei," responded Naruto after slurping his ramen.
"Your bloodline. Does it hurt when you change?" asked the older man. Naruto looked down on the ground after hearing the question.
"Every time," answered the boy.
"May I see you transform into it?" Iruka asked curious about the transformation.
"I don't think that a good idea Iruka-sensei," replied Naruto scared of how Iruka will react to it.
"Naruto, I've known you since you were my student. I will never think of any less of you if I see it," reasoned Iruka.
"Okay," said Naruto worryingly. "BERSERKER!!!!" he yelled.
Iruka watched Naruto's skin burned off his flesh and the vibration blades pop out. Seeing this happen in front of him was unbelievable. When Naruto's transformation was complete all Iruka can see is the same super human he saw before. For Naruto he was not really comfortable about his former teacher seeing him like this at all.
"Well Naruto, I have to say watching you change into something like this is a shock. But I know that despite what others may think about you now it will never change my opinion of you," said Iruka trying to cheer Naruto up.
"Really Iruka-sensei?" asked naruto.
"Of cour….." started Iruka until he felt a sudden surge of pain within him.
"IRUKA-SENSEI!!!!!!!!!!" shouted Naruto as he ran to his teacher only to halt when he saw Iruka transform.
Iruka's back burst open revealing spider-like limbs. His hands turned into claws and his body expanded to about 13 feet. His head morphed into a wolf-like form with spider fangs. Iruka's body was covered in fur and his eyes glowed blood red. To Naruto this form was horrible and strangely familiar at the same time.
"No…they turned Iruka-sensei into a Blood-Warrior," whispered Naruto in shock.
Hear me and obey Apoc MK 2. Kill the Berserker.
Hearing that command Iruka turned Apoc MK. 2 charged at Naruto. Naruto dodged the attack but could not bring it upon himself to attack his former teacher. Instead the boy chose to keep away from the monster's attacks. Naruto was able to stay far from Iruka, but Apoc MK. 2 spat out a spray of blue liquid at his eyes blinding the boy. The liquid was also eating his eyes. Naruto held on to his face screaming completely unaware of anything around him. Iruka raised his right claw into the air preparing to strike, but could not. Deep inside Iruka still had some control over his body. Sadly it wasn't enough to stop Dr. Minakami from controlling him.
Destroy him! Rip that boy's head off!!
With one fast swipe Apoc MK 2's claw dug into Naruto's skull and tore his brain into bits. Naruto gave one final scream and fell to the ground and stopped moving. Iruka looked at his claw and was twitching.
You have done well Apoc MK 2 or should I say Umino Iruka.
"Naruto…no…..NO!!!!!!!!!" roared Iruka as he looked at the remains of the boy he loved like a son. Soon enough Iruka's mind was destroyed in favor for Apoc's successor. Suddenly Naruto's body was getting up and he growled like a zombie.
What? Impossible! How could he be standing like that?
The two mutants stood facing each other. Apoc MK 2 swung his right claw at Naruto who ducked and used his left vibration blade to cut the arm off. The advanced Apoc rammed one of the spider limbs into Naruto's left chest plate. Naruto hammer fisted the limb off and dropped to the ground. He grabbed the limb and ran towards Apoc while pulling the limb off. The young Berserker jumped onto the mutant and drove the severed body part into it's shoulder. Then Naruto jumped off Apoc MK 2 and landed behind it. The huge creature turned and charged at the Berserker, but the super mutant opened it's right chest plate and fired it's Devastator at it. The mutant formerly known as Iruka was vaporized in an instant.
Preview:
After slaying the man who was like a father to him. Naruto faces a horrifying experience in the form of no longer being able to use his bloodline. In a desperate move to protect him, his brothers decided to step up in the battles ahead of them. Ryoga takes up the pace in training Kin and to his discomfort the other genin of the village. While Jigoku faces off against the Hyper Blood Team 5 alone. Can Naruto regain his power or will he lose more of his precious people. Next time on Naruto: Bad Blood, I Stand Alone.
Author's note:
Well that's the end of Iruka and I feel really bad for doing it. Sadly it had to be down namely to develop Naruto into a stronger warrior. It's also homage to the battle between Sho Fukamachi and his father Fumio Fukamachi in the Guyver series.
