The Next chapter of the Corrupted Mind
The Corrupted Mind
Chapter 8
Few hours later..
Naruto and Sakura moved from the area they were in, with Sasuke's unconscious body. They were currently in a hollow tree that covered them up and gave them shelter.
Naruto was currently asleep, with the widest smile on his face that gave Sakura the creeps, it just didn't go with the usual cool and calm and scary Naruto.
Naruto told Sakura that Orochimaru blocked off Kurama when he used his sealing jutsu, and he was finally free to do what he wanted.
Hearing that made Sakura smile. Naruto has gone through so much with Kurama that it made her cringe when Naruto would tell her what she would do to his mind while he was asleep. The way Sakura believes, Naruto should be held the hero of the village and not Menma and Mito.
Sakura was standing watch, but was really tired. She stayed up all night, watching Naruto and Sasuke's bodies. She really was jealous, she wanted to sleep to….
She then through a kunai in the bush, hearing something in them.
What ran out wasn't what she expected.
A Squirrel…. Thought Sakura with a deadpan look. She then noticed something weird.
" Hey!" she yelled and ran to the squirrel, and took the explosive note off it, saving its life.
" Who would do that to a little cute thing like you?" she said as she rubbed the squirrel to her check, making the small mammal pure in delight.
Then, the squirrel was taken out of her hands. She turned around to see Naruto cut it's head of and start to pill the fur off.
" Naruto! Don't do that, it was so cute.." said a now sad Sakura.
Naruto then held the now pilled squirrel in his palm and used his fire chakra to cook It instantly, and took a bit.
" Your yelling woke me up. I'm glad it did though, we have company." He said as he looked in the trees.
" Yeah, I noticed." She said. She got a kunai out and wrapped a explosive tag around it and through it in the trees. When it exploded, three figures jumped down to dodge the blast.
" About time you all came out." Said Sakura as she looked at the sound team in front of them.
" We are not here for you two, we want the Uchiha." Said the middle one that was bent over.
" The Uchiha is asleep, come back some other time." Said Naruto to the hunchback.
" We don't care, we're here to kill him, so move out the way!" said Zaku, surprising the two.
" Why do you want to kill Sasuke-kun!" yelled Sakura.
" It's none of your business, so step aside." Said the girl on the sound team, Kin.
" My teammate is my business." Said Sakura in defense.
" It seems you don't want the easy way out of this, so will just take care of you now." Said Dosu.
" Don't make me laugh, with me and Naruto, we can beat anyone in this forest." Exclaimed Sakura.
" No, you will handle them on your own." Said Naruto.
" What, why!" yelled Sakura.
" Because, me and Sasuke have been doing most of the fighting during our missions, you just stood behind. This time it is you on your own. And if you fail-" Naruto then pointed at Sasuke," I'll let them kill Sasuke." He said as he sat down by Sasuke, picking his nails.
" Please, Naruto, don't do this." She pleaded.
" Shouldn't have been talking shit." He said.
Sakura huffed at him, and turned to her competition.
If I play my cards right, I could beat them all. Just stay on your guard, don't get cocky….. thought Sakura.
" Your going to have this little girl fight us! What a joke, we should just-" Zaku didn't get to finish because of Sakura, burying her fist into his stomach, making him be blown back into a tree.
" Kin, don't be dumb like Zaku, attack with caution." He said as he rushed at Sakura.
He extended his arm at Sakura to punched her, but she dodge and hit him head on with her fist. As he flew, Sakura felt dizzy.
Kin came at her with senbon in hand, and charged a now down Sakura. What she didn't expect was for Sakura jump up and kick Kin in her legs, making her fall to the ground. Sakura then stomped on top of Kin, both legs on Kin's arms.
" Your done, Doton: Earth Holding Technique!" she said as earth came from the ground and wrapped around Kin's legs, arms, and mid-section."
" You all think your going to kill Sasuke-kun. WELL YOUR DEAD WRONG!" She yelled with a fire at her eyes.
" How did you disable my technique?" asked a recovering Dosu.
" I don't know what you did to hurt my ears, but I healed it quickly with my Mystical Palm Technique, letting me heal wounds instantly. I'm your worse opponent." Said Sakura. She had one down, two to go.
" Forget you! Decapitating Airwaves!" yelled Zaku as he pointed his blasters at Sakura, and sent a large wind blast towards Sakura.
" Doton: Earth Dome Technique!" yelled Sakura as a dome of earth covered her, protecting her from the wind. This wind was nothing compared to Naruto's.
" Damn, we can't get to her." Said Zaku.
" Yeah, but we should go help Kin out." Said Dosu as he walked towards the still trapped Kin.
" About time! This hurts! I can't believe a fan-girl is this strong." Said Kin.
But before Dosu could free Kin, hands came from under the ground, and pulled Dosu to the ground, his head the only thing showing.
Sakura then came from the ground, coughing a little.
" I always hated that." She said to herself.
" What! How did you do that." Yelled Dosu and Zaku.
" You all lowered your guard when you couldn't see me, but that didn't mean I couldn't see you two." She said.
Zaku was getting mad, this little girl was toying with them! It was embarrassing!
" I'll kill you now!" yelled Zaku as he pointed his hands at Sakura.
" Oh no you don't." said Sakura as she put a kunai at Dosu's throat, and through a kunai with a explosive tag next to Kin, ready to detonate.
" Attack me and your teammates die, understand. Now answer my question, why do you want to kill Sasuke-kun?"
Zaku was still deciding if he should tell or not, but Dosu beat him to it.
" We were told to kill the Uchiha for Orochimaru-sama, leader of Oto." He said.
" But why would he want to kill Sasuke-kun when he gave him that weird mark? He said that Sasuke would be a good follower for him." Asked Sakura, surprising the three.
He was already marked? What's going on here… the three had similar thoughts.
" It's because he wants to test the Uchiha, and you three were there to do that." Said Naruto, as he jumped next to Sakura. " Good job, you held your own well." He said.
This made Sakura smile, she did feel strong. She handled three genin on her own, that gave her a ego boost.
" To test the Uchiha? That means were just-" said Kin
" Target dummies." Naruto finished.
" When did Orochimaru-sama give Sasuke the curse mark?" asked Dosu
" A few hours ago, we fought him and won, but I let Orochimaru give Sasuke the curse mark for my own reasons." Said Naruto.
" Well now that we have our information, why don't you give me your scroll? Will be on our marry way then." Said Sakura.
Just then, a smoke cloud enveloped Sasuke as he got up, black markings all over his body.
" I….feel so strong. Like I can do anything." Whispered Sasuke.
" Tch.. And you were against getting the curse mark. Well look at you now, praising it." Said Naruto. Naruto then walked over to Dosu and pulled him out the ground, and used his wind control to cut Kin free of her bounds.
" You want to use your new powers now? Use it on them." He said as he pointed at the now shaking genin. Naruto grabbed Sakura and Shunshin somewhere else but near to see the battle/massacre.
" You all ready." Asked Sasuke, as he disappeared and attacked.
The sound genin had no chance. Sasuke normal ninja skills, which were already high level, with the curse mark, it would be a one-sided battle. In a good three minutes, Kin was knocked out, Dosu was slammed into a tree, and now Sasuke had Zaku's hands behind him with his foot implanted in the middle of his back.
" You take pride in these arms, would be a shame if something broke them." Said Sasuke in a creep voice, as he put force in his foot, causing pain in Zaku's arm sockets.
Then something wrapped around Sasuke's mid-sectionn. He looked back to see Sakura, crying in his back.
" Please stop. I don't see you like this. It reminds me of Naruto. Please, Sasuke-kun, stop this." Said Sakura.
" Sakura…" Sasuke said as the curse mark receded back to its normal form. He let go of Zaku's arms, making Zaku fall to the ground, and returned Sakura's hug.
Naruto jumped down to the ground, looking at the scene going on between his two teammates, and decided to end it.
" You told the Uchiha to stop because it remind him of me, why do you act like that is a bad thing." He said with a smirk.
" You don't realize how much life is worth, Naruto. But that isn't your fault, but it seems no one can change how you think." Said Sakura.
This made Naruto frown, no one can change how he thinks? No one is supposed to, not anymore. He got ride of Kurama, and he wasn't going to go back.
Naruto walked up to the Oto nin, check their pockets and found a 'Heaven' scroll, the scroll they needed to pass the exam.
" We are done here, lets go." He said. But before they left, he scratched the Oto nin on their skin and they all jumped away.
Inside Genjutsu
" Where are we?" said Dosu.
" I don't know, all I remember is getting destroyed by Sasuke." Said Zaku.
" Lets look around then, see if we can find anything." Said Kin.
" There's no need." Said a voice.
The tree looked back to see Naruto, his hands in his hoodie pockets, his body in a slouched position.
" Your that kid." Said Dosu, tensing up, ready for a fight.
" Calm yourself, I am not here to fight, only to talk." Said a calm Naruto.
" Well then tell us where we are." Yelled Kin
" We are inside my genjutsu, Fox Illusion: Fox Den Meeting. It allows me to make everyone of you to come into the same dream, and to talk only, which is what I want to do with you three." Said Naruto.
" Talk about what?" asked Dosu.
" I want you three to join me." Said Naruto.
" Join you!" the three said at the same time.
" Yes, join me. You saw how Orochimaru used you like he did. Your nothing to him." He said to the genin.
" No, that's not true. Orochimaru said that he would take care of us, never leave us alone." Said Zaku.
" What he said is lies. If it wasn't for Sakura, you all would have been dead, and Orochimaru knew that. He knew the power of that seal. It was more than enough to handle you." Said Naruto.
" You say join you, join you where?" said Dosu.
" I am starting a new village in Nami no Kuna, The land of Waves. There is where you will get stronger, and get revenge. You won't have to worry about how you will get a meal, or if you ae going to die the next day, because of my training I am going to make you strong as S-class ninja. What you see my teammate do to you was only a couple months, but years under me, and think of what power you would have." Naruto said as he walked around the team.
" How would you get to train us in Wave when you are apart of Konaha?" asked Dosu.
" I am leaving Konaha soon, and I will send you to Wave with my Haraishin, I already have someone over there. Have you ever heard of Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Mist?" asked Naruto.
" You recruited him also!" asked a surprised Zaku.
" Yes, and he and his daughter are there in Wave getting stronger, not worrying about people trying to kill them for a bounty. So what do you say? Stay with Orochimaru and in sometime soon you either die or he uses you for his expirements, or you join me and become stronger than you believe. Your choice." Said Naruto.
" I'm in." instantly said Kin.
" What! Kin, are you sure?" asked Zaku.
" Yes, I can feel that we can trust this boy, and he is right. Orochimaru casted us out, he doesn't need us. But that's the thing, he doesn't know about this, that were going leave Oto, can tell all about the Invasion and Orochimaru's plans." Said Kin.
" Invasion?" said Naruto.
Few hours Later
Team 7 jump down on the ground. In front of them is a pond.
"Naruto, what are we doing here?" asked Sakura.
" I need to take a bath." Said Naruto.
" What! We're so close to the tower though, take a bath there!" yelled Sakura
" No, I do not know if the tower has a shower, so I will take my bath here." Said Naruto. He then took off his black hoodie and the red T-shirt he had underneath, showing his abs and a very well defined 6-pack.
" Oh…..my….God." said a now drooling Sakura.
" Naruto, when did you get so strong." Said Sasuke.
" I would train in my cell for hours among hours. If I didn't finish my exercises, I would be punished. Kurama-chan said I need to be strong to be a demon. That and she wanted something to feel on when she had her fun." Said Naruto. It was then that the two saw the many scars that litter all around Naruto's body.
Naruto….. sadly thought Sakura.
How much have you gone through? Did the Kyuubi mess you up that bad… thought a sorrowful Sasuke.
The two then saw Naruto start to move on to his cargo pants. Sakura turned around, not wanting to be unfaithful to Sasuke, and Sasuke turned around not wanting to be out shown in the down stairs area too.
In the trees
The team weren't the only ones in the clearing.
There was a team that held the Jinchuriki of the Seven- Tailed Beetle, Fu.
She came from Takigakure, a small ninja village. The people there hated Fu, she had no friends, no family, no one loved her, no one excepted her Biju, Chomei. Chomei took care of Fu during her childhood, and taught her somethings as well. Chomei and Fu were each others best friends.
Fu's teammates, on the other hand, didn't like Fu at all. What made it worst was that the two were beautiful girls that were also strong.
The first girl, Aiko, was a lovely girl. She had stunning brown hair, and a round shaped face, and bright blue eyes. She had an almost tan skin color, that went with her hair well. She wore a back shirt, that hugged her mid-section very well, with a small open brown jacket that stopped right below her breast. She wore black leggings and blue sandals, making her look amazing.
Amaya, the second girl, was just as pretty. She had long black, smooth hair, stop at her back. She had midnight black eyes, that went well with her hair. She wore a zipped up black jacket and black pants, black sandals, completing her look. But for her love of black, she had the most purest color of white for her skin color.
The team were looking down at Team 7, debating on what should be done.
" Maybe we should just leave, we have our scroll, we should we stay around?" asked Fu, with almost similar thoughts as Sakura.
" Why would we do that? We should take this opportunity and get there Jinchuriki! I've heard that Konaha treats him worse than even you, Fu." Said Aiko.
" If we were to make that Jinchuriki switch to our side, we would be heroes!" said Amaya.
" That, and he does look really good." Said Aiko with a blush.
Then they saw Naruto take off his hoodie and shirt, reveling his abs.
" Oh….my…God." the three said, just like Sakura.
" O—o-okay. N-new plan. We make the Jinchuriki come with us to Takigakure, and then we make him ours. We can share him." Said Aiko.
" Share him?" said Fu.
" Not you, Fu. Me and Amaya. Who would want you." She said. While the two were discussing their plan, Fu was hurt.
No one likes me. Instead of capturing him, I should take this opportunity and run. I could stay in the forest or something. But I really want to get away from these two. And what their planning, it could succed, after all, I have also heard of the things people have done to that Jinchuriki. It makes my suffering look like child's play. Maybe I should get to know him better and at least give each other someone to relate to….. thought Fu.
The girls continued to watch Naruto bath, we enjoyment in their eyes, but Fu was the only one who saw the scars, which made her cringe.
Then, when Naruto was done, him and his two teammates left the area, to go to the tower. The Taki team following also.
The tower
Inside the tower, the team read the scroll on the wall and figured out that they need to open the scrolls. When they did, their old teacher, Iruka Umino, came out.
" Hey guys!" he said with a smile.
" Iruka-sensei!" said Sakura.
" Yeah, its been a while. I see you three have gotten better as well. It's only noon on the second day and your already finished the second exam, congratulations." He said.
Naruto just looked while his old teacher talked. He never was close to Iruka. Iruka never did nothing to him, so he was neutral in Naruto's book.
After they got done talking, Iruka instructed the three to a room for them to stay in until the fifth day.
Cafeteria
Naruto got a plate of food and sat down. He wasn't with Sasuke and Sakura, the to said they wanted to sleep in a bed and shower before they ate, which was good with him. He could eat in peace. He then looked at the food he got and noticed that he got some deer meat, just like how he did in Wave.
Tsunami…...K-k….no, Kaa-chan… thought Naruto as he referred to Tsunami as she wanted him to in the letter that she gave him.
He started to eat, but then two females came up to him, with a look in their eyes that Kurama used to have when she was feeling herself.
There goes my peaceful supper… thought a now aggravated Naruto.
When they sat down in front of him, he noticed their heads bands signified that they came from Takigakure.
" Hello there, Mr. Jinchuriki." Said Aiko, as she moved some hair out of her eyes to make herself look good.
" Why were you spying on me in the forest." Said Naruto, going straight to the points, surprising the two.
" You knew?" said Amaya
" Yes, I could sense you staring at me, which is why I wanted to know why would you do something like that." Questioned Naruto.
" Well, before we get to that, I want to introduce ourselves. I'm Aiko, and this is Amaya. We wish to make a deal with you."
" Which is?" said Naruto as he started to eat his food.
" We want you to come to Takigakure with us." Said Amaya.
" Why would I do that?" said a bored Naruto.
" So you can get away from Konaha. We've heard what they done to you, it's not right. You must be so alone, not having anyone to talk to, spend time with." Said Aiko, then she put her hand on top of Naruto's.
" Why would you stay in a place that hates you? You're a ninja for a village. You help Konaha bring in money, and the way that thank you? Putting poison in your food." Said Amaya.
" How would you know about the life of a Jinchuriki?" asked Naruto.
" We have heard around that your treated badly here, it's inhumane." Said Aiko.
Then, the two walked on the side of the table that Naruto sat at, and sat down beside him.
" We could help you, and together, you can be loved in Takigakure, appreciated for what you do." Aiko said.
" And if you do.." Amaya then slide closer to Naruto and put her mouth close to Naruto's ear.
" Me and Aiko can be your first 'friends'." She whispered and put Naruto's earlobe in her mouth.
The two were messing with Naruto, but Naruto was still focused on his food. Granted their seduction skills where superb, it wouldn't work on Naruto.
Naruto then looked up to see the Jinchuriki that he sensed in the first exam was there, far off, looking at what was happenning at Naruto's table. This was the best time to talk to her.
" You two come with me." He said as he got up from the table.
" Where are we going…" asked Aiko.
"You'll see." Was all that Naruto said. The two did a girly squeal and latched onto Naruto's arms.
They started to walk towards Fu, but Aiko and Amaya were to distracted at feeling on Naruto to notice where they were going.
When Naruto stop, the two noticed that they sat in front of Fu.
Oh no…. they both thought.
" Sit." Naruto said, which they did. Naruto then sat in front of Fu.
" What is your name?" he said to Fu
" I-I—I'm -F-F-Fu" said Fu.
" Calm yourself, your talking to someone you can relate to, why mess up a chance to talk to a fellow Jinchuriki." Said Naruto.
After taking a breath, Fu spoke.
" I'm sorry, I wasn't prepared to talk to you. I haven't talked to a Jinchuriki before. I must say I am very nervous." She said.
" It is nothing to worry about. Tell me about you." Naruto.
" Yes, my name is Fu, and I was born in Taki and then later made a Jinchuriki right after my birth. I grew up with many friends, Taki really is a –"
" You can stop lying now." Said Naruto.
" What, I'm not lying." Said Fu.
" Yes you are. I can tell. My biju gives me the power to tell if someone is having any kind of negative thoughts or is lying to me when they talk. Since you lied, I can assume that you have no friends and that you are discriminated in Taki, is this true?" asked Naruto.
" No, Naruto-kun, Taki really is-"
" Be quiet." Naruto interrupted Aiko. " Please continue, Fu."
Taking another breath, Fu continued. " Yes, I have. Everyone hates me, and I never had a friend there at Taki."
" Even these two, who failed in their efforts to seduce me." Said Naruto as he pointed to a shocked Aiko and Amaya.
" Yes, even they hate me." She said.
" Naruto-kun, we are friends with Fu-"
" I said be quiet. If you don't, I will not take up your offer." He said. That shut them up.
" You still might join." Said a now happy Fu.
" Yes, but I must still think about such things. I shall see you later, Fu." He said as he got up from the table. He then walked over to Fu side of the table and scratched her arm a little.
" The fox will return." He said as he walked off to his room.
When Naruto left, Aiko and Amaya looked at Fu.
" I can't believe that happened. He just said that we failed in seduction. But at the village, we always have boys turning their heads at us." Said Aiko.
" I don't understand, this wasn't supposed to go how I wanted it to go." Said Amaya.
Fu, on the other hand, was blushing mad. She thought that Naruto looked so cool, and when he scratched he arm and left! Of my god! She had this warm feeling when he did that, like when Chomei gave her some of her yokai….
Wait a second….. thought Fu as she looked at the scratch on her arm.
" I must go." She said to her teammates as she left and went to her room to sleep.
Genjutsu
Fu opened her eyes to see a small fire in front of her. She looked up and it seemed to be a cave she was in.
" Where am I?" she said.
" In my Genjutsu." Said Naruto, as he appeared from the darkness.
" Naruto-kun.." she whispered.
" Listen, I need you to tell you something." Said Naruto.
Naruto then told her of his plan to make her go to Wave and to keep it a secret. He would send her over with the Oto group after the Chunin Exams are over. He told her that he was faking when he said that he was faking when he said that he would think about going to Taki with them, it was just to make Aiko and Amaya think that he was wanting to leave with them. He said that when she would to get to Wave, that he would train her to become stronger than she would ever believe. After a while, Fu understood everything.
" So do you agree?" said Naruto.
" Yes, I'll go with you after the Chunin exams. But I do have a question? Would I be treated right I Wave." She said with worry.
" Yes. The people of Wave have all gone through things and I saved them, making them love me. The people that I'm sending over have also been treated wrong, so they would understand your predicament. You will be loved." Said Naruto.
" Then I have no other objections." She said.
" Good. Continue the exams like nothing has ever happened between us, understood?" he said, and she nodded.
" Good, I'll see you later than." He said.
Then the Genjutsu started to fade away.
Naruto's room
Naruto woke up after talking to Fu. Fu told him that she got along with Chomei, and that they had a good relationship, something Naruto couldn't understand.
Naruto lifted up his shirt to see the seal was still in place, and then went to sleep.
To bad he didn't see the seal start to glow red a little, and start to fade some.
Just a little longer, Naruto-kun… Said Kurama from the seal.
Oh yeah, Kurama coming back soon, so very soon
