Chapter Five: Bloody Mist
Zabuza Momochi was not one to wait to finish a mission and get paid. He was not one to get angry because he lost a single battle. But this was completely different. That blonde kid had hurt Haku. If he hadn't had Haku learn some medical jutsu when she met the Tsunade woman, Haku wouldn't have a left arm. Now he was really mad. He had begun to see Haku as a daughter long ago but she only considered him her master whiel she was the tool. It made him so angry that the blonde could hurt Haku like that! "Did you figure out what he did Haku?"
"Yes Master Zabuza."
"Haku, please, call me Zabuza or Zabuza-sensei." Haku looked at him puzzled.
"Why Master Zabuza?"
"Because I don't see you as a tool Haku. I stopped seeing you like that long ago." Haku looked downcast as he said this. A single tear went down her face, but Zabuza wiped it away. "Please don't cry." he said, showing compassion for the first time in a long time.
"Why Master Zabuza? Am I not good enough to serve you?" she asked, more tears welling up.
"No Haku, that's not it at all. I refuse to see you as a tool. I see you more as a daughter." she looked up in surprise.
"You mean-"
"From this moment on, when you tell some one your name, tell them you're Haku Momochi and if they mess with you they mess with me!" he said. He widened his eyes as he felt two slender arms wrap around his chest. A wet substance drifted down it as Haku let her tears fall.
"Thank you, thank you so much father!" she said. Zabuza smiled as his eyes softened and he began to stroke her hair.
"Its gonna be okay Haku." he looked out the window as the rain ceased. "Why don't you go pick some herbs? I know that relaxes you." she sniffled and smiled at him.
"Thank you father." then she looked at him with an evil grin. "So since you're my father, can I have some money?"
"Go pick your herbs!" he laughed. She smiled and went into her room. She came out thirty minutes later with her hair done, her clothe smoothed out and a basket on her arm.
"I'll be back soon." she said in a sing song voice. She skipped out the door, singing some random song. "I chime in, haven't you people ever heard of, closing the god damn door? No!" she sang. Zabuza sweat dropped and began to sharpen his sword.
"What a weird girl."
--
"I'll meet you back at Tazuna's house Kakashi-sensei. I just need to rest here for a sec." said Naruto. Kakashi nodded and left Naruto lying on the ground. He yawned and threw his arms behind him. He closed his eyes and fell asleep without realizing it.
--
Haku walked into the clearing where she knew herbs grew and saw the blonde kid that hurt her and Zabuza. She drew a senbon and walked over to him. As she reached down, she hesitated. She put the senbon away and tapped him in the nose. "You'll catch your death out here." she said. The blonde opened his eyes to look at Haku.
"Hey, who are you?"
"I'm Haku. Why do you ask?"
"Not many girls as sexy as you just come out alone in the forest is all." he said still half asleep. He suddenly realized what he had said and flew backwards from her. "What I meant is, you see I, what happened is-" he stopped when he realized she was laughing.
"It's okay Naruto."
"How do you know my name?" she froze. She had just possibly given away her identity.
"You just look like a Naruto." she said. He looked at himself then smiled.
"I guess I do. What are you doing out here Haku?"
"I came to pick some herbs. It relaxes me. What about you?" he hesitated she observed.
"Some old friends came by and I was talking to them. I dropped a scroll when I was leaving though and I went back to get it when I was attacked by this other ninja. I fell asleep went I only meant to spend a few minutes catching my breath." he struggled to get up. "Would you like some help with your herb picking?"
"Why thank you, I very much would." so the two picked herbs for a little while, until Naruto popped a strange question.
"Haku, do you have a boyfriend?" Haku was taken off guard but she recovered quickly. She laughed, hoping to make her lie convincible.
"Naruto, I'm a boy." she said.
"No, you're a girl." she glared at him.
"How would you possibly know that Naruto?"
"Your kimono came open a second ago." for the first time, she noticed he was looking her right in the eye. She also felt a slight breeze on her chest. She quickly smiled evil and walked over to him. She got close to him and ran her palm down his cheek.
"Like what you see handsome?" she winked at him and he fell over. She looked at him for a second then burst out laughing, rolling on the ground. When she finally stopped laughing, she closed her kimono and woke Naruto up with a slap to the head. "Are you okay?"
"You're worst then one of my senseis!" he yelled. Then a few drops of blood began to run down his nose but he quickly wiped them away.
"How many senseis have you had Naruto?" she said. "And you were right, I am a girl."
"I knew it!" he cheered. Then he grew sad, as if the question made him remember something terrible. "I had three before the one I have now. Two of them were guys and one a girl. The two guys were named Yamato and Hayate. They were like older brothers to me. Well, Yamato was, but Hayate was more of a father figure. The girl was Anko Mitarashi. She was really hot. And really bold. You remind me of her. When we were forced to separate, she actually gave me a naked picture of herself to make me 'remember' her." he laughed and smiled as the memories came back, then they disappeared a fast as they came.
"What's wrong Naruto?" he stood up and walked to her. He grabbed her hand and kissed it.
"I have to go Haku, but it was nice to meet you." he tilted his head to the side and an evil smile covered his face. "Are you blushing?" Haku slowly put a hand on her cheek and felt the heat. He laughed at her and she 'hmphed' at his laugh. He leaned in and kissed her on the lips very lightly, but she had to resist the urge to deepen it. "I'll see you when Zabuza comes to the bridge Haku!" he called back as he leapt away. She put her hand on the cheek and stayed in that spot till Zabuza came looking for her.
(The Next Day)
"Kakashi-sensei, shouldn't we wake Naruto?"
"Don't worry Sasuke; Naruto needs to regenerate his chakra. He'll join us soon." answered the Jounin as he fitted his gloves Naruto gave him on. He then wiped some blood on a kunai, threw it towards the ground and pulled out a scroll. He made some hand seals with the scroll inside them and slammed it on the ground. Long twisting lines of seals ripped out of the scroll and into the earth. A second later, eight nin-dogs stood waiting for Kakashi. "Tazuna, get on the bull dog and let's get going."
"Sure, as long as the bridge gets finished faster." said Tazuna. He was a little more than worried since Kakashi had told them the night before Zabuza would attack today. He climbed on a large brown dog that leapt into the trees, followed by the other dogs. The ninja quickly reached the edge of the forest and came upon a mist covered bridge with the workers laying in a neat line with senbon in them.
"We have the advantage here. He hasn't seen our attacks but we know all of his." said Kakashi as he had his dogs burrow under ground. They walked onto the bridge and waited.
"Sharingan Kakashi, I finally get to fight you." said a voice from the fog. The mist around them disappeared showing eight Zabuza clones. Sasuke used his speed to dispatch them and land in the same spot, looking like he hadn't even moved. "Looks like you have a match for speed Haku." said Zabuza as the mist cleared to show him and the Hunter-nin. Two teenagers, both guys, one with green hair, the other with blonde, stood next to him.
"Where is Naruto?" asked the Hunter-nin. Haku instantly cursed herself for revealing she knew him. Zabuza looked down at her in surprise.
"Haku, what aren't you telling me?"
"No time, must attack now." she rushed at Sasuke with a senbon, who parried with a kunai. They struggled for a moment. "You are at a disadvantage here."
"How so?"
"For one, you can't use one of your hands. And two, we're surrounded by water." she began to do one handed seals with her free hand. "Ice Style: One Thousand Needles of Death!" the water around them floated up into the air, forming small but sharp needles. They flew at Sasuke who didn't move. Haku had jumped away and looked in shock as the needles landed and Sasuke exploded into…smoke?
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Haku back flipped over the large ball of blue fire that instantly disappeared when she dodged it. Sasuke appeared behind her and threw a kick, but she jammed a senbon in it. 'Damn, almost had her in my Lion's Barrage! (Yes I know he didn't get it till the Chuunin Exams but still, I gave it to him)!' He pulled the senbon out as Haku began to do more one handed seals.
"No more kidding around! Ice Style: Demon Ice Mirrors!" water from the air and ocean floated around Sasuke and Haku as a dome of flat icy mirrors formed. Sasuke pulled out his Flaming Windmill Shuriken and filled it to the brim with chakra. He threw it at the mirror Haku went in as white fire formed around it. It crashed into a mirror and bounced off. He caught it and looked at the slowly healing scratch going through it. He growled and took his chakra back from the shuriken.
"You're strong but I won't lose to you!" he proclaimed. He flashed through some hand signs and held his hand in for not his lips. "Please forgive me Naruto. Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bombs!" a huge blast of chakra fired through the top mirror and into the sky, coiling around itself. It came back down to be met with a wolf made entirely of ice. He cancelled the flow of chakra when it appeared, causing the dragon to explode.
(Tazuna's House)
"They're coming this way!" yelled Naruto as he finished butting his clothes on. He felt the rest of his Shadow Clones dismiss them selves as he ran down stairs to see Tsunami and Inari calmly eating breakfast. "Hurry, Gato's men are coming!" Inari stood up and grabbed his mother, dragging her upstairs. Naruto waited patiently for the two men. Outside, Gato's two personal samurai opened the door to see our hero.
"Here brat, where's Tsunami?" asked the one with tattoos all over his arms.
"She's far away from here." calmly said Inari as he walked down the stairs.
"No problem. We'll take the kid instead." said the other samurai. Naruto nodded at Inari and he crossed his hand sin a ram sign.
"Clone Jutsu!" the room was filled with Inari clones in an instant. They surrounded the guys in a large circle while Naruto sat back and watched. The clones began to run in a large circle then they stopped again and crossed their fingers. "Forbidden Uzimaki-Namikaze Technique!" he yelled. The samurai drew their swords and ran towards the door but they were stopped by "SEXY JUTSU!" they rocketed around the room in a blast of blood as naked women with only smoke covering their privates appeared and winked at them.
"Not bad runt." said Naruto as he ruffled the real Inari's hair. "That bluff about the forbidden style was smart."
"Naruto, I was scared. Are you mad at me?"
"No, of course not. Being a ninja means you have to do things that may be scary so you can help other people. There's nothing wrong with it." he smiled down at Inari and gave him a kunai. "Protect your mom while I'm gone." he then ran out of the house and skated over the water of the near by lake with his chakra. He reached a water fall after a few minutes and smiled as an idea hit him. He jumped off the steep drop into a spiral as his jacket started to glow. In a blast of white light and sizzling air, Naruto soared off, wind enforced flames shooting him through the air.
(The Bridge)
Kakashi dodged two sword strokes, one from Zabuza and the second from the newly named Aio, the green haired teen. "Aio, stay out of this!" barked Zabuza as he dodged a kunai slash.
"This is my fight too Zabuza! Besides, my sword is stronger then yours!" he held the Raijin up for them to behold but Zabuza hit it and it flew into a crane. Aio went to retrieve it as Kakashi made a mad dash to the dome. Zabuza blocked him by throwing the sword.
"Give up Kakashi. You can't win."
"You seem to be forgetting something Zabuza." Kakashi raised his hand high in the air and let the mist spin around him as a bolt of thunder built in his outstretched index and middle finger. "I haven't even finished warming up yet!" he whipped the glove out and a bang followed as a huge crescent of thunder ripped apart the cement it hit. "Lightning Style: Thunder Crescent Jutsu!"
"Water Style: Freezing Water Shield Jutsu!" water from the air, the water from the clones and additional water from the ocean formed into a shield that froze into a four foot long and six foot wide block. As the attack hit it, Zabuza flooded his jutsu with water and chakra. He had the ice to his nose when he stopped. The crescent kept going and going as it destroyed the ice. It grew closer and closer to Zabuza until the ice was shattered. The jutsu flew at him and stopped an inch from his face as a blade of yellow energy blocked it.
"Move you eye brow-less freak!" Zabuza grabbed his sword and flew backwards. In the mirrors, Sasuke was covered in senbon. He dodged another barrage and focused his chakra like Naruto taught him. He then expelled the chakra out through all his pores as once, expelling the weapons. They stuck in the mirrors with a 'twang' and stopped another attack.
Up in the air, the blonde teen, now named Deidara, and Sai battled it out on birds. Sai sent his drawing birds and beasts while Deidara blew them up. They circled each other a few times before continuing the process.
(In the Sky.)
Naruto dropped to the ground half way through the forest. He raced forward at top speed. As a face seemed to come out of the tree, he remembered how he had come across the two extra entities in is mind.
(FLASH BACK)
Naruto sat meditating in the training ground, his senseis doing the same around him. He slowly sunk into his mindscape to visit the Kyuubi. What he was met with surprised him. The last time he had been here as a small child, it was nothing but a damp sewer. Now, it was divided. In the center was a large mansion with an elaborate gate, which guarded a yard filled with snow topped trees and shrubbery. Next to this was the sewer and its large gate. On the other side of the mansion, the left side, the landscape became a desert with a large cyclone spinning madly. And across from the sewer was a large field of geysers and volcanoes. "Naruto, please come in." said a female voice. He turned and saw the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She had long fiery hair, a silk dark green kimono and was at least a D-cup.
"Who are you?" she laughed at him and grabbed his hand, making him blush and move his cloak over his middle lower section.
"I'm Kyuubi silly."
"But Kyuubi has this evil demonic voice."
"That's only in my demon form. This is my human form. And I know what you're next question is gonna be so don't say it."
"What would I ask then?" he said.
"You were gonna ask why I wasn't a girl. I don't know why you humans all think demons have to be males. The only guy is the Yamato Orochi. And the Kaku but he's kinda weird." she pulled him inside the mansion, were he had the shock of his life. He began to bow, low and formal.
"What are you doing?"' said Kyuubi…from right between his legs. He hopped back in surprise and she laughed when he hit her left………she got up and walked over to the man sitting in an armchair on the right side of a fire place.
"Kyuubi, get of me."
"Do I have to?"
"YES!" he yelled. She fell on the floor and crossed her arms in disappointment. Naruto gazed at the two men before him. The one on the right had long white spiky hair and stood in blue armor with a head plate like Yamato's on. He was the Nidaime Hokage, and his Great-Great-grand uncle. The man sitting in the chair center of the fire wore red armor and had long black hair that went down his back. He was the Shodaime, the master of Tree Style technique.
"You seem surprised Naruto." said the Nidaime.
"Well, I didn't exactly wake up this morning and say 'I'm gonna go meet the spirits of two dead Hokage's today' ya know. What are you doing here any way?"
"The Shinigami placed us here to guide you and help you." answered the Shodaime. "He also told us to instruct you in something only a Jinchuuriki can learn."
"And what's that?" said Naruto, holding in his sudden excitement. Kyuubi stood up and sat down in the chair on the far left of the fire.
"It's called Hanyou form. It turns you into a half demon of whatever element type you use. You have four. Water from Nidaime, Earth from Shodaime, and Fire from me. You though have an incredibly strong Wind affinity. We will teach you how to use some of our techniques as well as unlock each of your four Hanyou forms. First for you to learn is the signature move of the Kitsune Clan, Fox Fire Style."
(End Flashback)
He raced faster through the trees until a large line of jagged spikes shot up and tried to impale him. He used his jacket to float up and noticed they were made of jewels. 'Damn, it's Akira again! I have to be careful. My chakra is low since I used the shortcut. Hanyou mode is too risky to use now…guess I'm going with Fox Fire.' "I know you're there Akira, so come out." the young woman came out of her hiding spot. She had discarded her trench coat and stood poised for combat, twin nodachis, one of emerald and one of diamond, held in her hands.
"That was a powerful move your fought me with the other day Uzimaki. It inspired me to make my first original jutsu."
"And those swords are it I presume?"
"No, these are just the medium. This is my technique." she held both swords in a reverse grip and lifted her arms up into the air while spreading them as far as possible. She rammed both blade tips into the shoulder closest to either tip. They slowly sank into her torso. As they disappeared, the fragments in her hands started to twine into each other. They spread over her body, making her into a sickeningly beautiful creature. Her face stayed where it was but seemed to become more beautiful. Her body became replaced with that of a lion with hairs made of jewels, battle scars decorating its flesh. The final feature was the long eagle wings coming from her shoulder blades. The jade feathers were dirty and ripped in places.
"You turned yourself into that creature!?" rage boiled in Naruto. Kyuubi fed him memories of a similar beast holding her hostage and sucking off her chakra when she was only four tails of power. She ended up using the highest power of Fox Fire, Amaterasu Chi, on it by accident. This intern made her a seven tailed beast, but at a great cost. A thousand years later she wiped out the race, except for a small child. That child became the only ten tailed beast, Zyuubi, and was trapped in the void.
"Jewel Style: Jewel Sphinx Transformation Jutsu!" she yelled. Naruto growled in anger but managed to get himself under control.
'Better end this quickly with Dad's move.' "You wanna fight, then I'll fight you." he curled his hands into fist and swung his leg high and brought it down with a crash on the ground. A long line of fire raced forward but a shield of jade protected Akira. He started to punch at her, sending balls of fire at her. The fire turned black as blood mixed into it, burning the flesh under the wound. He brought both hands together in a tiger seal and snapped his fingers. "Fire Style: Fire Swarm Jutsu!" thousands of fireflies flew at Akira and impacted on her shield in a huge blast of flames and smoke. As the black smog clear away, a large crack ran down the protective surface. A sickening thud and crack followed the smoke as the shield exploded.
"You destroyed my shield!" she lunged at him but he sunk under her and, landing on his back, placed both feet on her stomach and pushed her into the air. She caught herself on her wings and glided around him.
"Multiple Strike Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!" a huge column of snakes wrapped around Akira's legs and pulled her down. She roared and clawed at them. Naruto held his other hand to his side and concentrated, building his chakra up. It spun around in his palm, focusing freezing water and a cutting wind chakra together into one. He released the snakes to curl around Akira and opened his other palm. He focused his shielding earth and burning blue fire chakra to it.
"Get these damn snakes off me!" she roared.
"This is gonna hurt like a bitch in the morning!" he yelled over the tornado he summoned. His cloak took on a flaming appearance and launched him forward. As he was a few feet away, he cocked both arms and yelled out "Ice and Magma Styles: Rasengan!" the two attacks pierced the sphinx and kept going, spinning blood over the area. Naruto slowed down and did a back flip. He watched as Akira fell to the ground.
"He really is his father's son." she whispered as he threw a tri-pronged kunai and landed next to her with a flash.
"You've gotten better, that's for sure. I almost had to use my summons on you. Manda wouldn't have been happy." he helped her over to a tree and leaned her against it. "Rest, sleep, and leave me the hell alone." he turned to leave but a croaking sound caught his ear. It was mixed with pain and tears.
"Wait, please, take these." he stared at Akira as she held out the diamond and emerald blades. "They were my father's. He will most likely disown me when he finds out I lost, and to a Namikaze no less, so take these. As a gift." he slowly and carefully walked over to her. He grasped the weapons in his hand and laughed.
"Thanks, I needed two swords for the attack I'm gonna finish Zabuza off with."
"Zabuza…Momochi?"
"Yes as well as three others. You know one, a ninja named Deidara, if my assumption is correct." her fist cracked as she gasped.
"Dei is on the bridge?" a tear threatened to fall over her eyelids but she kept it in check with a few winks. "Please, tell him I know the truth. And that I tried to stop them. He'll understand." she closed her eyes and passed into blissful unconsciousness. Naruto smiled and squatted down. He placed a kiss on her cheek.
"I promise I will." he turned to leave and shot through the trees, his cloak flapping behind him.
(The Bridge)
Sasuke was covered in blood and senbon. His Sharingan had finally activated, but it really wasn't of use so he kept it off to preserve chakra. He had destroyed the top mirror with his Dragon Flame Bombs but there was a long way to go to freedom. He glimpsed Sai and the kid that made exploding animals fighting over head. Through a gap in the wall he saw Kakashi fending off two enemies. "I would focus on me Uchiha." said the girl in the mirror. He felt a familiar presence and burst out laughing, causing all fighting to stop.
"You're forgetting something Zabuza, something that will end your lives."
"And what's that copy brat?" growled Zabuza.
"The number one, hyper active, knuckle headed ninja from our village and son of out Yondaime Hokage and Konoha's Bloody Blade…NARUTO UZIMKI-NAMIKAZE!" hundreds of yellow flashes appeared around the bridge as a huge army of Naruto's covered the place. The real one landed in the center of the mirrors with Sasuke while the clones got Kakashi away from their.
"Thanks for the introduction."
"No problem, you just have to teach me a jutsu later."
"…Screw you Uchiha." he drew both his jewel weapons and began ran at a mirror. Haku laughed and hopped to a different mirror. He crossed the blades and cut the mirror in half with a blast of wind. He then did this five more times before Haku had to get out of the mirrors. Deidara skidded backwards and spit out some blood as the four enemy ninja regrouped together. He made a giant snake and had it coil around them in a dome.
"So what do we do?" said Aio, his Raijin giving them light.
"We fight. Haku, use the second level of the mirrors but keep enough chakra for your transformation. Deidara, summon some fast moving ground animals and Aio, we try and behead him whiel this happens." said Zabuza. They each ate a few soldier pills and some blood pills. Deidara had the snake shoot out and try and get the blonde but he burst into smoke. Haku did a long series of one handed and two handed seals and ended by spitting a ball of blood high into the air. Water collected around the ball and began to twist. Large rectangles with spikes shot out and ran through the clones. Eventually only one Naruto, the real Naruto, was left.
"So you wanna use Ice jutsu do ya? Fine then, eat my most powerful one! Ice Style: Freezing Blizzard Wind Crescent Blade Barrage!" large black clouds began to circle over head as a blizzard started to whip up. Haku made a large dome cover them as Naruto realized the jutsu wasn't taking effect.
"New plan, blow him up."
"Yeah, BLOWY UP TIME!" yelled Deidara, clapping his hands together. Deidara removed his Akatsuki cloak to show the uniform of an Iwa Genin. He took the shirt off to show a giant mouth on his chest. "Boys, meet C-3!" as he was about to start feeding clay to the mouth, the blizzard stopped and Haku lowered the dome. For the first time, Deidara noticed the swords. The huge glob of clay in his hands dropped to the ground.
"Deidara, why did you stop?" he ignored Aio's question and turned to Naruto.
"Hey, where did you get those swords?"
"That depends on if you're Deidara." answered Naruto.
"I am, why do you ask?"
"Akira told me to tell you she knows the truth and tried to stop them. She said that right after she gave me these." he assumed a stance as icy wings formed on his back. 'Good thing I figured out how to do this. I better finish them before my chakra is gone.' he dashed forward, the wings increasing his speed, his Koorihaboushi blazing in the light. One raised a huge and thick wall but he chopped through it. Chakra danced over his blade as he spun them a few times and began his dance. He sliced and diced, making them back away. On the last strike, he released the built up chakra in an X-shaped slash, sending two dragons, one white, one black, outward at them and called out the name of his dance. "Dance of the Two Dragon Brothers!" blood from Zabuza and Aio and water from his exploding wings mixed in the air, making a beautiful, almost enchanting scene as the sun set.
The once white mist, was covered in blood. A Bloody Mist.
Zabuza and Aio fell down on the ground but Deidara and the Hunter-nin stayed standing and he had a good explanation for that. "Hanyou Mode: Level One." said Deidara. He raised his lowered head to show slanted brown eyes and thick whisker marks. Dark and deeply curved claws came from his finger tips and his hair grew brown with a long black streak. Mouths ran up his arms and stopped an inch form his shoulder.
"Hanyou Mode: Level One." she raised her head and spread her arms wide, sending long wings made of a near transparent material billowing back. Slanted sapphire eyes took the place of beautiful brown. An icy tail hung form behind him and claws formed over her fingers.
"So we want to go Hanyou do we? Fine then." he closed his eyes for a moment, contacting his tenants. 'These guys are dangerous. But they can be defeated. I'm going to merge Kyuubi's Fire element with Shodaime's Earth element to make Magma. It should work.'
"That's extremely pig headed… but it just may work." Naruto smiled to himself as the transformation began. A spike of red and gold aura with black ting to it circled him and cocooned him. He began to change then exploded out of it.
"Hanyou Mode: Fire and Earth Fusion: Level One!" both Deidara and the Hunter-nin were caught off guard. They knew he was a Jinchuuriki but to use a conjunction of elements Hanyou form was unheard of. They gazed on his new appearance in shock. A large black angel wing fell from his left shoulder blade. Fire formed a second wing on his back. His skin had become deep red and his hair was now navy blue. Claws dangled from the fingers of his arms. Magma spikes shout out of his arms and shoulders. A large dragon head sat on his left shoulder and a fox on his right.
"What is he?" asked the Hunter-nin as Deidara began to shove clay into all the mouths. The girl spread her wings high in the air and prepared to slam them downward. Naruto stood in place as a large creature made from many other beasts formed from his wing and spikes. Clay birds and bullets of ice launched from Haku and Deidara's bodies as the creature roared and lunged at them.
"Magma Monstrosity Jutsu." the attacks collided and tore the bridge apart. Naruto remained calm on the outside, but he was suffering on the inside, since having a high level of Hanyou form slowly destroys blood cells. It wasn't as fast as a level three or four transformation but using two elements is dangerous. He flew forward, claws flashing. He brought them down against both of their flesh, ripping them to pieces. Deidara slung his arm in a wild manner and slammed his arm into the flame spikes. The girl jumped up and circled him, then she spit out a snowy fire blast that froze the place he was only a minute ago. She looked up and saw him still in the crouching position for some one who had just jumped over her.
"How did you…" he smiled at her and grabbed her throat. The black wing erupted into large spikes made of rocks and was replaced by a fire wing.
"We are enemies, and I never tell my enemies anything!" he slammed a fist into her stomach, sending her plummeting downward. Deidara flew at him on a huge owl made of clay but the spikes around Naruto swirled and formed a bull man with large horns shooting form his head. It landed on the bird and pulled it down, taking Deidara with it. All three Jinchuuriki landed on the ground and prepared for one last attack. "Rochi, get ready for this!" he swung his right arm in a wide circle over and over again. A miniature tornado formed around it. Electricity shot into it and fire soon added into it. Small pebbles and debris joined in as well as water and soon a torrent of power flowed around his arm in a devastatingly beautiful display. "Every Hanyou form has a power it can use. This is mine for this form. NOW DIE!" Naruto flew forward and slammed the fist into Deidara's chest. A large shield of rock started to break around his body until his whole body shattered showing them he was just a Rock Clone. Naruto whipped around and kicked the real one. He looked at the two now human Jinchuuriki's and transformed himself.
"Good job their kid. You saved me a bunch of trouble." every one of the Konoha ninja stared at the group of mercenaries Gato brought with him. The leader stood smiling at the front of the group. Naruto snarled, baring fangs of polished white bone. He turned to Zabuza and Aio. "I know you two are awake and I know Deidara and the hunter-nin are still able to fight. If you don't want to die, you better help us." the four ninja got off of the ground and limped over to him. Naruto snatched Raijin from Aio and pulled out his sanjiegun and put it at the end where his sword wasn't.
"Naruto, are you sure about this?" asked Kakashi.
"Yeah, we can trust them. They aren't our enemies any more."
"Hey brat," said Zabuza. "I'm gotta ask, can we come back to Konoha with you guys? I'm tired of running and I don't want to put Haku through it any more." Naruto simply smiled and nodded at him. The first guy in the mercs ran forward with a sword drawn. Sasuke rushed past Naruto and prepared to attack him but a couple more guys came up and stabbed him. He hunched over for a moment before couching up black globs of blood. Naruto ran forward and killed the men with a quick slash from his weapon. He grabbed Sasuke's head and rested it on the ground carefully and tried to help. He pushed air into Sasuke's lungs, got rid of the blood and many other things but nothing worked.
"Naruto…please, do me a favor. Tell me…who really…killed my family." Naruto wiped his eyes clean of tears and sniffled, but answered the question all the same.
"His name is Madara Uchiha. He has achieved the most powerful form of the Sharingan, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. He is immortal and can not be killed by time. The Shinigami assigned the Senju clan to kill him, and this is my mission now. But hold on Sasuke, I'm gonna heal you!"
"No Naruto…it's too late…for me now. Please…tell Itachi…I'm sorry for……the things I did………to kill him." he closed his eyes one last time and turned his head, resting it. A smile lay on his face.
"NO! NO, NO, NO, No, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" a single pillar of red energy spiked high into the air. Naruto's pained scream could be heard through out Wave Country. The air fizzled as a strange power awoke inside Naruto. Clouds spun around him as his sanity disappeared. A blast of wind blew Gato's men back. The pillar started to shrink, leaving a large hole in the bridge. Hovering over this hole was Naruto. His eyes had become hollow silver holes. Both hands hung open at his side. A small blast of wind went by and brought with it the smells of desert sand, decaying flesh and the feeling of scorching heat.
(In Naruto's Mindscape)
The Shodaime and Nidaime ran out of the house were Kyuubi waited to see what was happening. The gasped as the great Kyuubi no Kitsune was thrown to the side like a rag doll by a large cyclone as the desert part of Naruto's mind expanded. Kyuubi growled and jumped over to them, converting to her human form as she did so. "Something triggered this. Naruto's Wind affinity has increased to that of the Gobi if not more. We have to restore order before he destroys everything he holds dear!"
(Bridge)
"You bastards killed Sasuke! Now I'm gonna kill all of you!" a tornado picked up round him, taking the blood of the men he just killed with it. He let out a mourning roar as he flew at them. He landed in the center of the group and spun in a full circle. The tornado exploded out at them as he roared "Tornado Crescent Barrage!" half the men fell as Naruto pointed his index and middle finger together with his thumb up on both hands and pointed them to either side. "Wind Laser!" a blast of compressed air in the shape of a thirty foot long, one inch thick beam cut through the men that were around him. He exploded into smoke as he dash past the rest of them. He landed in front of Gato and spun his sanjiegun over his head.
"P-please, I'll give you anything! Money, women, cities, you name it!" he pleaded. Blood flew in the air behind Naruto as the mercs dropped dead on the ground.
"You know what I want?" he cracked his knuckles and placed the tip of the Raijin against Gato's leg, shocking him. He screamed in pain as his nerve system was screwed over. "I WANT SASUKE BACK! And you can't do that. So I'll have to be content with torturing you until I feel you have suffered as much as he and I have." he spun his weapon around and slammed it into Gato's leg, cutting half way through it. Then he fired a Wind Laser through his left shoulder.
"P-p-please, spar me! This is the pin number for all the money I have and the deeds to Wave! You can have them but please leave me alone!" Naruto took the piece of paper and wrapped it around a kunai that he threw at Tazuna's feet.
"You are going to hell no matter what, so let's get this over with." he opened his mouth and began making hand signs. "Wind Style: Drilling Air Bullet!" he slammed a first into his stomach and a blast of wind took off Gato's arm and a small portion of the shore. I mean, it is the signature move of the Shukaku for a reason.
"AUG, MY ARM!" Naruto growled and backed up for a moment.
"I was hoping that would kill you, but I know this next move sure as hell will!" he bit his thumb on his left hand and with a flash of hand signs punched the ground. A huge summoning seal spread around them. "Summoning Style: Snakes: Manda!" with a huge blast of smoke, a large purple and black snake rose up with Naruto standing on his snout.
"Who are you kid!?" Rochi slid out of his sleeve and circled up around him. "Oh, so you're the Naruto I was told of. Fine, then you should know I demand one hundred sacrifices for being summoned." Naruto looked at him for a second before slamming the Raijin all the way in, the handle and all, Manda's snout. The snake hissed and squirmed as electricity coursed through the sensitive skin covering his back. Rochi slithered down to his throat and bit him there. He wasn't strong enough to kill Manda but he put him in pain.
"Rochi, return to me." the snake appeared by his side in a flash as he pulled the Raijin out.
"You little bastard! How dare you do that to me!" Naruto raised the sanjiegun again and Manda flinched.
"I'm gonna say this once and only once. The other summoners may have accepted those terms but I will not. I can make you eternal life an incredibly miserable one if I choose. Now then, you see the midget down on the ground?" a slight feeling of going up and down was his answer. "I want you to slowly bite his remaining arm off while using your tail to break his legs, slowly and painfully." Manda's eyes gleamed and he laughed, and evil, maniacal kind of laugh.
"I like you kid. I haven't been allowed to play with my food for a long time!" the snake lowered his head so Naruto could get off and began the torture process. When the task was finished, Naruto had Manda inject him with a poison to numb any pain he would feel then the snake opened the man up with his fang. The heart was beating fast as Manda used his tongue to pull out the liver and swallow it. Then Naruto cut open the flesh hiding the kidneys and let Manda eat those. He made sure to heal Gato enough to keep him alive though. Once Gato no longer had a rib cage, liver, kidneys, a small intestine, a large intestine, left lung and had had his stomach ripped out with a set of tweezers, Naruto backed away and spun the staff around him.
"This is for Sasuke you bastard! Demon Fox Style: Fox Fire: Ghost Fire Cyclone!" he spun the staff around at an incredible speed, generating a small cyclone. A pale blue spark exploded in the center and soon a small swirling mass of pale blue fire was roaring over his head. Naruto stopped spinning the staff and tricycle kicked it into Gato's head, burning every thing from the neck up off. Manda ate the flying head with a small snap and looked at Naruto in a pleading way. "Finish the job Manda."
"FINALLY!" he slammed his head into the bridge and swallowed the torso of Gato right as the villagers arrived. Manda looked at them quickly and a gleam came into his eye.
"Manda, they are innocent, Gato was not. I just wanted him to rot in hell in eternal pain. Make it easier on the Shinigami ya know."
"So I can't eat them?" he asked, a little whimper in his voice.
"NO!" he yelled at the snake. He shrunk down like he was pouting and dismissed himself. He looked over to where the astonished villagers where to see Inari leading them.
"Where did Gato go?" he asked.
"The snake and I tortured him then the snake ate what was left." he said with a small smile, until he saw Sasuke. He walked over to him and kneeled by his chest. He pulled out a kunai and cut open his shirt, then his chest, right below the neck line. Every one gasped as he poked a hole in Sasuke's lungs and turned him over, making a huge amount of blood came out. "Sensei, you know any high powered Medical jutsu?"
"Yeah but I don't have enough chakra to use it."
"Then quickly show me the hand signs." Kakashi taught him a short series of hand signs that he easily memorized.
"This jutsu depends on how much chakra you use so-"
"Mystic Palm Jutsu!" a green aura of chakra surrounded Naruto's hands as he pushed as much chakra as he could into it. The holes in the lungs sealed up and so did the skin, muscles and tissue. Then he did a few more hand signs. "Dragon, Ram, Tiger, Horse, Monkey, Dog, Bird, Monkey, Dragon, Horse, Rat, Bird, Boar, Monkey! Wind Style: Divine Healing Wind!" Kakashi smiled as he captured the technique but also at the effect. The air around Naruto started to churn, then it flew into Sasuke's mouth in a steady stream. With a small lung, air returned to Sasuke's lungs.
"That's not enough Naruto. You need electricity to get his heart moving again." he jumped back as a snake came out of Naruto's sleeve and bit slightly into Sasuke's chest, right above where the heart would be. A few sparks flew off the pearly white teeth as Sasuke shook and spluttered. He took in a few mouthfuls of air, much too every one's surprise. Of all of them, a woman in the trees watching with her assistant was most surprised, but had a large smile on her face. The assistant stuttered slightly.
"What did he just do?" the other woman laughed.
"Isn't it obvious? My grand son just brought a man back form the dead."
