Chapter 05: Third
"I've watched through his eyes,
I've listened though his ears,
and I tell you he's the one.
Or at least as close as we're going to get."
-Colonel Graff (Ender's Game, Chapter 1)
Naruto left Suna to hunt before dawn. As much as it sickened him to think upon what he was eating after the fact, or the tortures he executed upon the innocent creatures, while he was doing it, he truly enjoyed it.
When he had finished eating, he way in the sand and waited for the blood to become stale and then put his filter on. He looked down at his hands. The ends of his fingers and claws were still caked with blood. He half considered licking it off, but the blood was too stale to excite him.
From a scroll, Naruto took out the vial of blood. Thanks to the sealing it was still almost fresh. He made a clone with both of his tails worth of chakra, resealed the vial, then returned to the city. He had gone light on the clone's chakra today in anticipation of the training with Baki who was most likely already waiting for him at the training ground.
---
"Baki-sensei!" Naruto called out as he ran to the training field. His grin an imitation of the one he had when he was a member of Konoha's team seven. His fake levity faltered only for a moment while he approached.
"You're late, the sun has been visible over the horizon for at least five minutes."
"It won't happen again!" Naruto replied with as much enthusiasm as he could muster.
"Alright. Now, you've been here long enough to see what our capabilities are. Your strength is obviously ninjutsu, but there are many directions you can take, assuming you've now mastered the basics."
Naruto demonstrated his control with his imitation of Gaara's sand armor. It didn't quite cover half his body, but Baki looked pleased with the results. Afterwards, he demonstrated the standard bunshin jutsu.
"What do you want to learn."
"Elemental recomposition," Naruto replied, "I'll need that before I can learn many high level techniques."
"And your weapon is made of chakra conducting metal. If you learn this, then you could add elemental chakra to your tekagi and make them even more powerful."
"I thought that it just depended on how much chakra I put into it."
"Naruto, cut through that cliff with your tekagi." Baki pointed at a smooth hard face of rock.
Naruto put as much chakra as he could into the weapon and slashed at the rock with all of his might. Deep grooves were left in the surface of the rock.
"How was that."
"That was pretty good. That is some of the hardest stone in the area. It does not break easily," Baki said, "But watch what happens when I do it."
Baki motioned for the weapon and Naruto handed it to him. Baki filled the blades of the weapon with chakra, then slowly, with little effort, pushed them into the rock to his knuckles, then let go. The weight of the weapon pushed it down until it hit the sand.
"My elemental affinity is wind. Wind chakra is used to attack. It is like a blade that cuts when it is focused. I have also learned how to manipulate earth to a lesser extent, but that would have been a less impressive demonstration since earth is for strengthening and defending in nature." Baki picked up the tekagi and handed it back to Naruto. "There five main elements that we usually consider, water, fire, wind, lightning, and earth. Each one has a strength and weakness. For example, my wind chakra is strong against lightning chakra, but weak against fire chakra. If your chakra type is weak against your opponents, you will lose unless you only use your normal chakra or your jutsu is many times stronger than the jutsu you are facing."
"Uh huh..." Naruto nodded, just barely following.
"In any case, we will have to find out what type of chakra affinity you have. Follow me."
Baki led the way to a store full of training equipment.
"One package of chakra sensing paper," he ordered. The shopkeeper brought out a small envelope with several small squares of paper inside it. Baki paid for the chakra paper than gave a piece to Naruto. "Fill this with your chakra."
Naruto focused his chakra into the paper. The paper disintegrated.
"That wasn't supposed to happen. If your nature is fire, it should burn. For water it will get wet. For lightning, it will crumple. For wind, it will be cut. For earth, it will turn to dust. Try again, but only use the tiniest bit of chakra." Baki gave Naruto another piece of the paper.
Naruto carefully began channeling his chakra into the paper in small amounts. The paper began to char at the edges, but also was split in half. The two halves of the paper fell to the floor and burned to ash.
"Two chakra affinities. That is rare. I'd guess that your affinity is actually wind, but the Kyuubi chakra is fire natured."
---
"Since I have no skill in fire manipulation, I will teach you wind manipulation. You might ask Tora later about fire manipulation. I think that he knows some fire jutsu."
"So, how do I do it?" Naruto asked.
"The wind element is particularly difficult to master. It takes most people years of training." Baki said, "Mostly because it is difficult to see your progress if you don't have some sort of doujutsu." Baki thought for a moment. "I remember how my sensei taught me." He placed his hands on the sand. "Just try to do it like this. When you succeed, you'll cut a patch through the sand like this." A small puff of sand moved between Baki's hands. "When you master it, it will look something like this!"
Naruto was amazed at the power of what he saw next. Sand sprayed to the sides as if an invisible knife was slicing through the training ground.
"If I had known how to do this, that d-rank field plowing would have been a breeze." Naruto knelt down and tried it himself. The sand was pushed away by the force of his chakra.
"It not how much chakra you put into it. You have to change the way the chakra acts. Even the tiniest around of wind chakra can cause serious damage. You have to make the chakra cut instead of just blasting it out. If you use your clones, it shouldn't take more that a few months."
Naruto growled impatiently and created two hundred clones.
"Is something wrong? You're capable of making a hundred times this many clones."
"I already used my chakra for a different type of training, that kind that keeps me from killing and... it will keep the people of Suna safe."
"So you wont have the chakra to properly train then."
"I have as much chakra as I would if I was not a Jinchuuriki," Naruto replied, "That should be enough for just training."
"Gaara has an army of ninja at his command to defend him. You will be out in the world alone. You will be a target. Akatsuki will hunt you down. Do you really want to waste your chakra on training that wont help you defend yourself."
"And if I began to eat the children of Suna, and you couldn't stop me. I would enjoy the taste of their blood and each drop would only make the thirst grow. Even now, I want to rip open your stomach and rip out your intestines, strangling you with your own innards until you begged for death. Then I'd let you feel the joy of being eaten alive, slowly devouring your flesh, letting you live long enough to see everything you cared about killed in front of you." Naruto had begun emitting a powerful killing intent with his burning, demonic chakra. Baki was forced to take a few hesitant steps backwards. Naruto calmed down and breathed deeply into his filter. "Is my training worth it if that doesn't happen?"
A clone had just merged with him, exciting him when Baki had irritated him. He had received fresh memories of dealing with a group of bandits, only to have one of them sacrifice himself to explode on Naruto's clone.
"I-" Baki's face hardened as he took in Naruto's bloodthirsty expression.
"Sorry. One of my clones had an exciting encounter. I lost my senses for a moment." Naruto calmed himself, "Please continue training me."
---
That afternoon, Naruto was met by Tora.
"Come with me." Tora led him towards the shopping district as he talked, "As an ANBU, your identity is a secret. You do what you are told, no more, no less. You follow the rules, no matter how much you dislike it, because the missions we take are for the very safety of Suna and the people living here. You'll be told to kill men, women, and children. Some will be ninjas, but many will also be civilians."
"Sounds like fun," Naruto replied dryly, licking his lips, behind the filter. He had not had a chance to eat and the thought of fresh meat was making him hungry.
"Our first stop is here."
They had stopped in front of what appeared t o be a costume shop. The Window displayed various masks, all made of the same white metal and painted with simple patterns to resemble animals.
"Those are ANBU masks," Naruto said.
"There is always a supply of generic masks available at the ANBU headquarters, but none of them are made to fit if you are wearing that on your face. You will need a custom job. Do you know what you want you mask to look like?"
"A fox. Deadly. Angry. Causing fear. Hungry."
"I can do it for you," a rasping voice said from inside, his voice slithering out from the dark curtains that masked the entrance.
"Go in." Tora pushed Naruto towards the curtain. "I'll wait out here. That guy creeps me out."
"The tiger hides in the grass," the man behind the curtain hissed disapprovingly, "I should have made you a kitten instead."
"Even a kitten's claws can blind you." Tora replied, not moving towards the door.
Naruto stepped through. It was dark inside. The walls were hung with thick undulating sheets of purple velvet which were covered in an eclectic array of masks. Naruto did not see the owner of the shop anywhere. From the corner of his eye, he thought he saw a mask move. When he turned to look, it hung unmoving.
A hand caressed his cheek from behind, unkempt nais, blackened with dirt, scratched against his face.
"So unique. Such a shame to cover it up."
Naruto spun around. There was no one there, but there was a blank spot on the wall. He blinked and the spot was filled.
"Tsk, tsk. No peeking until I'm done. A beak painted like blood extended over his shoulder. Naruto was getting antsy and flexed his claws. He turned his head. There was no beak. It was a snake now. He blinked. Now an ox. "Almost finished." The man was a dark purple blur as he seemed to disappear, and a mask burst forth from the wall. A hand extended to touch his face as the masked figure passed.
Naruto grabbed his filter and lifted it for a moment so he could get a scent. There was lots of blood, but it was all stale. The owners odor was masked by a chalky scent that irritated Naruto's nose. Then his filter was taken from him.
"Hey I need that-" Naruto barely had time to protest before a hand was clamped over his nose and mouth and he became unconscious.
---
"He is good," the Kyuubi purred, "That was done well, you didn't even see it coming."
"He stole my filter."
"No he didn't. You're already wearing it again," the Kyuubi replied gleefully, "Now wake UP!"
---
Naruto couldn't see. It was too dark, no too bright. After some confusion, Naruto realized that he was wearing a mask and that the light was coming from the eye slits which slanted down towards his nose. Naruto touched the smooth surface. The brow was creased and cheeks pulled back. The snout extended several inches. As he explored it, the mouth dropped open and he was assaulted by the scents of the village. He grabbed the bottom half of the muzzle, which now hung just below the chin and pushed it up against his face. It locked into place.
"I told you, creepy, but he does good work. He used to make puppets as well. No one even remembers what his real face looks like." Tora took a small mirror from his pocket and tossed it to Naruto.
Using the mirror, Naruto examined the mask. Like all ANBU makes, it was mostly white. There were whisker marks drawn on the snout and dark patches shadowing the eyes. Kyuu was written in blood red brush strokes on his forehead. Two protrusions resembling fox ears protruded from behind his eyes. When he dropped the mouth, this is where the hinge was, creating a wide and crazed bloodthirsty grin that was sure to unnerve people. His filter was not actually present in the mask, but parts of it had been repurposed and resided in the mouth. With the mask like this, he could eat and have the filter close enough that he could use it to stop him from losing control.
"Yes, he does do good work," Naruto said, standing up and closing the mouth, "This mask..." Naruto's voice surprised himself. It was as if he was using his demonic chakra. "It's perfect." He laughed. The sound seemed to put Tora on edge.
"He must have really liked you to do such work on your mask."
"He did say that my face was unique and it was a shame to cover it." He ran his hand over the creases between the eyes. They were truly ferocious.
"Well, let's get to ANBU headquarters to get tested and so you can read all the rules, tactics, and strategy scrolls required of an ANBU. It shouldn't take you long if you use the clones for the reading."
"One more thing... Do you know fire manipulation?"
"My fighting style isn't enough, you want my jutsu as well?"
"Will you teach me?"
"When you're ready, I'll think about it."
"When will I be ready?"
"Fire jutsu are dangerous, especially with your level of chakra."
"How about just teaching me the chakra manipulation? It will take a long time won't it? I'll be ready by then."
"Fire manipulation is the easiest form of elemental manipulation to learn. My guess is that you would master it in a day or two, not like the wind manipulation you're learning with Baki-sama, that will take you weeks, even with the full force of your clones training."
"So you won't teach me?"
"Figure it out yourself. It's as easy as breathing."
---
"You leave before I wake up. You train all day. You come back after I've gone to bed. This isn't healthy Naruto. You've got to slow down a bit and give yourself time to recover."
It was late. Naruto was physically and mentally exhausted. He didn't need to come home to this. He growled angrily, the mask making it sound like an animal posessed.
Temari didn't flinch.
"I know you wouldn't hurt me. You at least consider me a friend. You protect your friends."
"Whatever," Naruto sighed tiredly.
"And next time you wand wind training, maybe you should come to me. Baki's mainly a doton expert. I'm the fuuton expert in this village. If yo want real training, you had better show up for breakfast."
---
"How many times have I told you to stay away from the sand bitch. You'll only get into trouble," the Kyuubi seemed angrier than usual.
"I will learn faster if she teaches me too. Why shouldn't I accept her offer?"
"Idiot child," the Kyuubi backhanded him into the wall, "I can be anything you want, but you keep following her around. You're not ready for that yet. She wasn't even afraid of you. So you have any idea what will happen when you get angry. She's not going to lay down and let you calm yourself, she'll keep pushing and pushing until she dies. Where will that leave us? You'll be drowning in pity, and I'll have to stop you from killing yourself again."
"I wouldn't let that happen,"
"You wouldn't have a choice."
The two circled each other warily. Naruto dropped the bottom of his mask so that he could breathe better and smell the air.
"I can control myself now," Naruto said, "Nothing will happen."
"Control? Maybe for half a minute." Kyuubi began releasing her arousal scent. "How long cn you really resist?"
"I have clones training as we speak," Naruto reached to put the bottom of his mask back into place.
"Then tell me, why do you need this?"
"Bitch!" Naruto growled angrily as he tried to force the mask up. The mask went flying. Naruto could feel his arousal growing to unmanageable proportions. He began to breathe heavily. Her flawless skin, her piercing eyes, her soft fur, her dampening bush; all drew his eyes, his nose, his hands and his tongue.
Kyuubi laughed triumphantly as Naruto once again began exploring her body to satisfy their lust.
"Control is something you won't have for a long time." Kyuubi asserted her control and forced him down to the ground.
---
When Naruto was waking up, he felt feminine hands on his shoulders.
'Damn Kyuubi, is insatiable,' he thought. He reached upwards to where he knew she was.
"Eep!"
Naruto heard a stifled squeal. His hands had hit something he wasn't expecting. Large, round and soft. He opened his eyes, but he couldn't see what was happening. He squeezed gently, eliciting a whimper. The hands on his shoulders gripped him
"Naruto-kun," the voice moaned.
It had sounded familiar. This definitely was not Kyuubi. He mover his hands upwards, wondering why he couldn't see until he felt the face and the hair pulled back into four pony tails.
"Temari, is that you?" His answer was a sharp smack. His mask shifted and the eye slits flooded his eyes with the morning light, "Baki is going to kill me, we're supposed to start training at dawn."
"If you want to eat, then get your lazy ass to the kitchen."
Naruto got up and adjusted his mask so that he could see properly. He had been too tired to change the night before, so he just followed Temari to the kitchen as he was.
"You're mad at me aren't you?" he asked.
"You wake up and fondle my chest without even knowing it was me. What do you expect me to think about that?"
"I wasn't properly awake and my mask was not on right so I couldn't see."
"That explains the grabbing, not the fondling." Temari grabbed a spatula and threw it. It embedded itself in the wall next to Naruto's head. "Now eat your breakfast so I can get to training you, and don't forget to send a clone to Baki."
Naruto created three clones, which ran off. By the time he finished his breakfast, one had already been destroyed rather painfully as a lesson about being late.
---
"Remember, wind is like a blade, you have to grind it together to make it thin and sharp. The sharper it is, the stronger it is." Temari said as she opened her fan to the first position, "Focus your chakra into your tekagi and sharpen it, then try to cut this." Temari swung her fan towards the sand, sending a small sandstorm towards Naruto.
Naruto covered his eyes to protect them from the sand, but it didn't stop. He slashed at it angrily. The sand was stinging his exposed skin. He needed to focus on the wind chakra. He made a clone and it was immediately destroyed by the sand, but its purpose was filled. The clones with Baki had begun to incorporate what Temari had said into their training.
Naruto focused on his tekagi, filling it with his chakra, trying to get the chakra to grind together. For a moment, he thought he had it. He swung the tekagi into the storm, releasing the chakra. There was only a momentary reprieve.
"I told you that my training would work fast!" Temari's voice was warpd and twisted by the wind, "Now let's pick up the pace!" The storm grew stronger.
Naruto used the sand armor to cover his hands which were already dripping with blood, as well as the rest of his exposed skin. It still stung, even through his clothes. He focused as much chakra as he could afford into his tekagi and slashed.
"It's not about power, it's about sharpness. If your blade is sharp enough, there is no effort, even in cutting through the strongest steel."
A clone made progress. Baki had praised him for doing well. Naruto used what he had learnt and made his chakra rotate in opposite directions, spiraling against itself to become sharper and sharper. He cut into the storm and rushed into the wake of his slash towards Temari. He made it half of the way to her before his cut destabilized and the wind sent him flying back.
Temari laughed and turned up the power again but opening her fan all the way.
The wind pushed Naruto back. His clothes were being torn by the flying silica. He had to keep slashing at it continuously just to keep it from tearing him apart.
---
When Naruto arrived at the ANBU headquarters that afternoon, he was covered in blood and his clothes were torn apart. He looked to be in rather desperate condition.
"Need some help, Kitsune?" an ANBU in a dog mask asked.
"Know how to apologize to a kunoichi for accidentally fondling her chest?" Naruto asked. The entire room went silent. "Or at leas a water jutsu to get rid of the blood."
Naruto was suddenly grabbed and whisked away to a dark room. It was Tora who had taken him there. Three men wearing blank masks sat behind elevated desks.
"Kitsune, your abilities were tested, and while rough, meet the minimum standards for some areas of ANBU duty. You and your mentor will be assigned to High profile assassination and hunter nin duties until your next evaluation. Your first assignment is to hunt down a chunnin who is suspected to be defecting to kumogakure. She is the member of the Makuradojya clan Their clan is small, but they have a blood limit that cannot be allowed to fall into enemy hands."
"Makuradojya... They're the poison ones right?" Naruto tried to remember what the scrolls
"That is essentially correct. The Makuradojya clan are able to manipulate their chakra so that it feeds on the chakra systems of their enemies. Your unique chakra should give you an advantage against her. I would warn you to avoid using genjutsu, but your tests proved that your talent in that area was so minimal that you are unlikely to ever use it in battle."
"How are we to identify the target?" Tora asked.
"Your target is a female, aged fourteen. She is five foot three and one quarter inches tall. Hair was shoulder length, black, purple streak on the right side. Veins should appear faintly purple through the skin, as is the identifying trait of all members of the clan with their blood limit active. She uses a longer ranged taijutsu style to attack her opponents extremities with her chakra until they are too weak to continue battling and simple puppetry for longer ranged attacks and traps. Be especially mindful of chakra nets. Any other questions?"
"Are we supposed to retrieve her?" Naruto asked. He wasn't particularly fond of the idea of
killing a girl younger than himself.
"If it is possible to take her alive, interrogate her, then destroy her body so that it will not fall into the hands of Kumo."
"Remember, she's an enemy," Tora whispered, "Enemies must be destroyed."
"Do you have anything with her scent on it..." Naruto sighed. The initial shock of being asked to hunt the girl was wearing off, and now he had begun wondering how she would taste. "Tora, No matter what else is happening... If I open my mask during battle, run. Don't look back, and don't bother hiding. Just keep going. When it's safe again, I'll find you."
"Naruto, go change. I'll meet you at the north gate with something that belongs to her in one hour."
---
The north gate was more of a tunnel than an actual gate. It was barely large enough for a single person to walk comfortable through and was specially built to be easily collapsible in the case of an attack. Naruto walked confidently through, being of smaller stature and having more refined senses than Tora who seemed a little nervous.
"The logs showed that she exited from this gate without proper authorization yesterday after buying something from a foreign trader." Tora explained once they had exited into the harsh light of the sun.
"Give me something with her scent," Naruto requested. He was handed a small, scruffy doll.
"This is from her room. I was told that she slept with it every day since she was a young child. It should not easily lose her scent."
Naruto dropped the jaw of the mouth, letting it loll open as he sniffed the doll, then handed it back to Tora. He then sniffed the air, searching for a similar scent. He found it. He found many, actually. He could not distinguish between them. His nose wasn't strong enough yet. He unleashed the power of his tails, startling Tora who had never seen him use his full power before. His chakra heightened senses were able to pick out the freshest scent.
"I've got it. Try to keep up." He was off in a blur of red. Tora struggled to keep up.
"Your voice, it's even more demonic than before. I thought it was just the mask."
"Or when I use my chakra. All of my abilities stronger like this," Naruto cut down his speed since Tora was having so much trouble and allowed his tails to reform. "This better?"
"Thanks," Tora replied, trying to get his breathing under control."
"We should catch up with them tonight. They can't be traveling that fast."
"They?"
"I smell many people and food, and horses. She probably met up with the trader you were talking about, or at least a group of ninja pretending to be traders."
---
That evening, the two ANBU saw the light of camp fires ahead. They approached as stealthily as possible, keeping an eye out for traps.
Naruto could smell a person and tobacco smoke. He pulled Tora down and pointed to an area shadowed by the tall grass that had begun springing up in the area. A few moments there was a flare of orange that quickly faded. There was a sentry there, enjoying a smoke.
Tora motioned for him to stay alert before disappearing into the sand. A minute later, the sentry's throat was slashed. Naruto quickly jammed the bottom half of his mask into place, the scent of blood tingling in his nose.
Naruto crawled forward. From the sentry's position, they could see the camp, and the girl. Naruto's eyes widened. The pale skin, the hair, the slightly round face, the shy posture... "Hinata..."
Naruto didn't think he'd been too loud, but eyes turned towards him. He couldn't let Tora kill her. He leapt from the bushes and dashed through the camp, grabbing the startled girl in the process.
"Let me go!" The girl was hitting him. Even the glancing blows reminded him of her. He felt pain when she struck, but not from her attacks.
"Hold on!" Naruto shifted his grip and release her just long enough to form a hand sign. Dozens of clones raced off in all directions.
The girl took the opportunity to grab a kunai from his pouch and drive it into his gut. Naruto grunted in pain and then stumbled for a second, then he ignored the pain and continued running.
"Please don't do that. It is painful. Even if you escape, your comrades from the camp will soon be dead."
An explosion sounded. Naruto recognized it as the sound of an oodama rasengan striking a solid object. A moment later, the memories of the clone filled his head. Three of the enemies were now dead. Shrapnel from the explosion had dispelled the clone.
"That was three of them," he said.
"Thats impossible. They are all high ranked jounin from cloud."
"How would they fare against the kazekage?" Naruto asked, knowing that all the members of the sand village feared Gaara.
"They're powerful, they'd eventually win."
"I've fought Gaara. I know how strong he is. Out here, there is no one he would have to protect, and those men are weaklings in comparison. They'd stand no chance."
"Too bad for you then, since he's not here."
"Why do you say that, I am the only one who's ever defeated Gaara at full power. I defeated the ichibi within him. If I can beat him, what could I do to them."
"That's impossible."
"Then how am I still moving after you exhausted all your chakra attacking my chakra. You didn't even make a dent in my chakra reserves, and I am not even using once third of my power."
"You're lying. No one could have that much power." Her eyes were wide with fear.
Naruto found a cave and stopped, heading all the way to the back where she couldn't see. He lay her gently down on the sand.
"Do not try to run. As long as you are with me you will live. If my partner find you, you will be killed and your body destroyed for betraying your village."
"Why are you doing this for me?"
"Because," Naruto dropped the jaw of his mask, "You remind me of someone. She was the first person who ever told me that she loved me."
"What happened to her?"
"It was too late. I couldn't stop myself from killing her."
"I'm sorry... What was her name?"
"Hyuuga...Hinata... She looked so much like you."
"If you want... You can call me Hinata.... If it will make you feel better."
"Aren't you upset?"
"Why would I be upset?"
"Your companions from the camp. Only three of them escaped."
"Thank you..." she said, "I didn't go with them by choice. I was talking to a merchant, and the next thing I knew, I was waking up with them. There were too many of them to fight."
"Really?"
The girl began to crawl towards his voice, "You saved me, even though you're a hunter-nin sent to kill me, you saved me."
"I couldn't let you be killed like that. It would feel like I was killing her all over again."
"I can't ever thank you enough, Kitsune-kun," she whispered shyly.
"Call me Naruto."
"Naruto-kun..." Naruto's heart jumped. The girl even sounded like her now.
"Hinata..."
"Let me help you to have some good memories with her, please. It's the only thing I can do for you." She found him in the dark. She ran her hands up his body until she reached his head, then pulled him down into a kiss. "Please use me any way you want, Naruto-kun, it's okay if it's you."
"Hinata-chan." Naruto removed his mask and let it drop to the floor. Then he kissed her. Her tongue darted into his mouth and ran over his fangs. She gasped in surprise at the feel of them. He caught her tongue in his lips and sucked on it before invading her mouth.
The Makuradojya girl unzipped his vest and then reached under his shirt, pulling it up with the crooks of her elbows as she fondled his abs and chest. He raised his arms allowing the cloting to be removed. Naruto grasped her shirt and lifted it, stopping before it was completely off, trapping her arms and head. Naruto began at her jawline and kissed his way down to the valley of her collarbone.
The girl whimpered as her body responded, releasing scents that filled Naruto with desire. She struggled out of her shirt and Naruto slipped her bra up as well, not bothering to try and understand the clasp. Her skirt soon followed, landing somewhere in the cave. She was trembling now.
"Are you okay?" Naruto asked.
"I've never done this before," the girl said.
"I'm sorry..."
"Don't stop... I want you to be the one to do this for me. I love you, Naruto-kun."
Naruto couldn't take it anymore. He brushed away her hands and pulled her panties down to her ankles. He drove is tongue into her mound, lapping at her stiffened nub. She cried out and grabbed his ears. He moved op her body and took her breast in his mouth. His hands worked to dig the erection from his pants. He plunged it into her. She cried out in pain as her barrier was torn. The scent of blood and feminine juices spurred him onwards. He thrust in and out of her rapidly, the tightness of her pussy enticing him and making him harder. Her cries of pain were soon replaced with moans of pleasure as she called out his name.
"Naruto-kun..." Her inner walls clamped down on Naruto, spasming in ecstasy Naruto continued trusting, keeping her orgasm going for almost half a minute before he achieved his own.
"I love you too Hinata-chan."
---
The clunk of metal hitting sand woke Naruto. The girl was wearing his ninja tool pouch. She had tried to grab his tekagi, but had been too weak to lift it. She was dressed and held a kunai in her hand. She knelt over him and plunged the tool into his throat. He coughed out blood and sat up, ripping kunai from his neck and tossing it aside. He covered his throat with his hand.
"W..h..y..." he gurgled, "yo....ou s.. s... a...d." he coughed up a large quantity of blood.
"Are you really that naive? I did it all to make you let down your guard. The Raikage is going to crush Suna soon. I'm going to join the winning side before it is too late."
"Yo..u sa.. said... you... lov..ed me."
"You know, I'm glad that I had to use those skills with you first. They teach seduction in Kunoichi classes, but you never really think that it will save your life."
"You used her memory. You soiled her name. You could have just asked and I would have let you go, but you had to pretend to love me." The blood scent was filling him. His tails were transforming into chakra against his will. It was too late to stop now anyway... He wouldn't stop now. "I can't forgive you for what you've done with her." He stood up and licked the blood on his hand.
"This is impossible, you should be dead." She froze in fear as she saw that the wound was gone, "You didn't use medical jutsu..."
"You cannot kill the Kyuubi no Kitsune!" Naruto roared as he sped towards her and grabbed her by the neck. Her flesh began to burn where his hand touched her. "You mutilated her memory, now you will feel her pain."
Naruto tore through her clothes with his claws, leaving long gashed down her body. She couldn't even scream. Naruto grabbed a large round breast in his hand. "I bet you were proud of these, weren't you?"
Naruto stared into her tear filled eyes.
"Answer ME!" He shook her roughly.
She nodded.
"I thought so." He squeezed slowly, his nails digging into her flesh. His grip grew tighter and tighter until the flesh burst, spraying blood and fatty tissues across the cave. She shuddered in pain and he repeated the process on the other side of her chest. "Isn't that better? That is what an old whore like you deserves isn't it! Flat saggy breasts, stretched by every man to squeeze them in their perverted hands."
Her mouth opened and closed uselessly. No sound was escaping. He released her neck and she fell to the ground sobbing.
"Didn't you have something to say?"
She tried to beg for mercy, but her vocal chords had been crushed.
"Nothing to say? Need I loosen your tongue with a little friendly persuasion? You enjloyed when I ate you earlier. Shall I do it again?" Naruto smacked her in the face and she rolled several times before coming to rest laying face up on the floor of the cave. "Time to eat!"
Naruto stretched her hips painfully wide and licked her soiled cunt until her clit rose despite her pain and fear.
"Does that feel good? Cause I'm sure that it will taste great, so full of your delicious young blood." He bit down, removing the tip of her womanhood and allowing the gush of blood to spray into his mouth. He gripped what remained in his teeth and pulled, tearing the hidden length of her organ from her body.
The girl shuddered, but was no longer struggling. Naruto wondered whether she had given up on life or whether it hurt more to struggle than to let him torture her.
"You aren't crying out your love for me yet. Weren't you satisfied with that? No a slut like you needs something to fill her up inside." He rammed his penis into her ass, allowing his chakra to gather around it, blistering it badly as he pumped in and out of her. When he came, he ripped out of her bloody hole. The end of her intestines were turned inside out and yanked, blackened by the heat of the chakra, out of her ass.
Naruto looked her in the eyes. Her eyes were unfocused, but she was still conscious and alive, if only barely.
"I guess you are used to bigger and better things inside you, slut. Don't worry, I won't allow you to be disappointed." He guided his tails together so they acted like a single foot-wide phallus of chakra and drove it into her, right up into her uterus.
Her heart stopped beating.
Naruto forced his tails in right to the base of his spine. Her stomach had turned bright red and had balloooned out so that it looked like she was nine months pregnant.
"You fucked the wrong fox." He scratched 'kyuu' into her belly, then calmly began to dress.
---
Naruto returned to where the Kumo ninja had made camp. He was greeted with a pile of corpses that had all been mutilated in different ways and had the 'kyuu' carved into their bodies. He tossed the traitor's body into the middle of the camp.
"Mission completed."
"The orders were to destroy her body." Tora was standing a safe distance away. Naruto sliced the skin of her side open, revealing that the inside of her torso was burned black.
"I'd say that her body is destroyed quite effectively."
"Let's report back then."
"I don't think that anyone will betray Suna after they hear about this."
"It's not going to be Suna that they're afraid of."
"As long as I'm welcome, Suna is my home. Any enemy of Suna is an enemy of mine."
Tora looked at the body.
"Did you have to be so..."
"It makes her happy, and when I have the smell of fresh blood, it makes me happy too."
"And now?"
"I'm ready to go back to Suna."
---
Once again, Naruto stood before the three blank faced ANBU. They listened to both of their recollection of events.
"So you attempted to save the girl," one of them questioned Naruto.
"I can't just kill someone without knowing why."
"You knew that she was a traitor."
"She told me first that she had been kidnapped."
"You believed her?"
"I wanted to believe her. She looked like a girl I knew once. It won't happen again."
"Did she tell you why she defected?"
"She said that Suna would soon fight with Kumo and that Suna would be crushed. She just wanted to be on the winning side."
"File your written reports. Make sure that you include as much of what the girl said to you as possible. Do not miss any detail, no matter how insignificant."
---
When his reports were finished, Naruto sent a clone to meet with Baki, and another to train in the desert. He returned to the Sabaku household just in time for breakfast.
"Your first ANBU mission was successful?" Gaara asked.
"Anyone considering betraying the village will think twice now." Naruto said, doing his best to not grimace as he choked down the disgustingly cooked food. He worked especially hard at it considering that Temari was watching him eat and he did not want to give her any reason to make any training she gave him extra dangerous.
"The same way they'll think twice about being bandits within a hundred miles of Suna?" Gaara asked.
"No, my clones went easy on the bandits." Naruto licked his lips. Even the ever emotionless Gaara looked disturbed.
"Be careful Naruto. Or you will begin to act like I used to."
---
"You're almost ready for the next step." Kyuubi hissed gleefully as she toyed with Naruto, "You made me so proud the way you played with that little slut." she was letting him take control this night as a reward and he was gladly working out the rest of the frustration from the betrayal. Kyuubi's compliments only pissed him off more, and this made the Kyuubi enjoy his rougher and rougher attentions more and more.
---
Naruto did not receive any more missions for over a week. He used the time to further his training. He had pretty much mastered even the highest forms of Tora's fighting style. His wind manipulation was coming along to the point that he could transform his chakra at will, though he was not happy with the sharpness and precision yet. The combination of the wind chakra and his tekagi or claws made his attacks almost unstoppable. He could maintain his concious mind for half an hour while under the direct influence of blood and could even resist the Kyuubi's temptations if he really tried.
As he was walking through town, he noticed a familiar figure lurking outside the hotsprings.
"Don't move!" Naruto ordered, using shunshin to get behind Jiraiya and place a kunai at his throat, "We don't appreciate peeping toms in our village."
"Don't you know who I am," Jiraiya asked.
"A little pervert who's going to spend a few nights in Block C." Naruto answered, using his control of the sand to fill up the holes that Jiraiya was peeking with.
"I am not a little pervert," Jiraiya said, "I am a SUPER per..." He turned and caught sight of the mask. "Naruto, is that you?"
"I guess I should have henged first," Naruto said, "But I thought the mask was enough to fool an old man like you."
"You're doing better? You're nose isn't covered."
"I've been training. I don't lose total control for half an hour. Pleanty of time to do this when I need to," Naruto said, demonstrating the jaw of the mask, "But there are too many things to smell to leave it on all the time."
"I suppose you want me to give you more training now."
"I have Baki, and Temari and Tora training me.I've learned a lot."
"I'm a Sannin, no matter how much you've learned, there's always something new I can teach you."
"I've wanted to learn fire manipulation, but Tora keeps telling me that he'll teach me when he thinks I'm ready."
"Fire manipulation? He might as well not teach you hand signs. Fire manipulation is the easiest element to learn if you have the knack for it."
"Wind has taken me two weeks to learn, and I'm still not all that good at it."
"Try this, focus your chakra into your stomach, make it as tight as possible and then shoot it out of your mouth and let it explode outwards – and aim up."
Naruto took a deep breath and focused his chakra into a tiny point, putting as much pressure into it as he could. He released it, blowing it out of his mouth. A torrent of flames burst into the air. Jiraiya had to cover his face to protect it from the heat.
"Congratulations, you can now do fire manipulation."
"That was so easy, I thought it would be as difficult as the wind manipulation."
"Easy to learn, yes, but it also means that the applications are more limited. Fire is fire. You burn things with it. Anything beyond that is manipulating the properties of fire, for example, sealing someone in a confined space and using the smoke or oxygen consumption to asphyxiate them."
Naruto stared at Jiraiya blankly.
"Suffocate them," Jiraiya explained, "Wind manipulation requires much finer control. Wind can be slow or fast, powerful or gentle, sharp or soft. You can manipulate the strength of each of these attributes and then on top of that you could mold the chakra, but this also means that you are more at risk from similar attacks. With fire, if your chakra is hotter, fire attacks will be repelled. With wind, you have to analyze your opponents attacks and counter them with the correct application of your element. Since you are both fire and wind natured, you have an advantage. Wind feeds fire, so you can counter wind jutsu with your fire jutsu."
"Thats too complicated, why don't I just hit them with both from all sides."
"Why don't you try it and find out?" Jiraiya suggested.
Naruto took a deep breath.
"But not here. Your fire was bad enough. I swear that you singed every rooftop for a block. Lets head to the walls and aim it out over the desert."
Naruto followed Jiraiya to the wall. Jiraiya whispered something to the sentries and they all backed off, giving Naruto plenty of room. He walked to the edge and the guard captain yelled for anyone below to move to the side. Naruto took a deep breath and blew a cone of fire out over the desert. Before he finished, he formed a mass of wind chakra and launched it along the same path. The flames exploded outwards. The flames burned white and blue with the heat, filling Naruto's whole field of vision. Naruto ran out of breath for the fire and had to blink away the brightness to see the fire dissipate almost one hundred meters away.
Some of the younger shinobi offered cheers. The guard captain shook his head and looked at the trench melted into the side of the wall.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of that." Jiraiya said, slapping Naruto on the back then using a doton jutsu to rebuild the damaged section.
"Is everything alright?" Several ANBU appeared, brandishing weapons.
"Just a little fox fire." Naruto grinned at the ANBU team's capitain.
The ANBU looked across the desert, noting the glint of glass along the path that Naruto's attack had gone.
"Impressive. Next time, make sure that you do it out of sight of Suna. We have enough reports to file with your clones running all over the desert killing anything that moves. Or at least in the designated training areas."
"Yes sir!"
"What kind of idiot teaches a kid two elements that can be used together..." the ANBU sighed before he and his team used the shunshin to disappear.
"One more time! Kitsune-Bi: Furea!"
---
Naruto returned to his room exhausted. He had practiced his foxfire flare with many of his clones. He had learned the technique worked better if he formed the wind chakra first and held it in front of his mouth while he blew the fire. It did that have as much range that way, but he could use his hands to protect his eyes while his opponents would be blinded. Using this method he could also control the amount of wind chakra he was pouring into the technique and found that he could make a wide fan of flames or a thin jet stream that could easily melt a whole through stone. Unfortunately the massive amount of power also drained his chakra reserves much faster than his other techniques did since it was like using two techniques at once.
---
"Excellent work today, kit," the Kyuubi said, laying lazily on the floor, "You didn't use that mask once, except to demonstrate to Jiraiya. You even created a wonderful new technique and style."
"What of it?"
"Bite me. You're ready for your third tail."
"Don't you think I have enough chakra?"
"You got tired today didn't you? What if Akatsuki recruits more members and comes after you in force. You had to release me to defeat Kisame and Itachi. You caught Deidra by surprise, but Sasori would have gotten you if not for Jiraiya."
"I have two tails already."
"Only seven more to go. Imagine how much more training you could do with a thousand new clones. Since you know wind and fire manipulation, I can even teach you some of the techniques that I know. All you have to do is bite me." The Kyuubi was using her pheromones to their full effect, but Naruto was still resisting.
"But this will make it harder to control myself. I'm not ready for that yet."
"Thats why you train to control it. How many years of training have your clones done? How many more will your clones be able to do if you can make a few thousand more?"
"I'd be able to learn every single jutsu there is.... but I don't care about that. I am not Orochimaru."
"Have you forgotten that Orochimaru still has Sasuke? Don't you want to save him. You can't win as you are now."
Naruto was stunned. He had completely forgotten about Sasuke. His only friend left from Konoha other than Jiraiya.
"I'll do it for Sasuke," Naruto said, letting his instincts take over and digging his fangs into the Kyuubi's flank.
"No, you do this for me," Kyuubi grabbed him by the hair and threw him back before he could drink too much.
Naruto quivered as he felt his body changing. He sprouted a third tail. His pupils became more slitted and his irises redder. His skin took on a slightly orange hue. His claws hardened and sharpened. His fangs grew and his lower canines became sharper and longer. His hair became redder at the roots and he grew a light trickle of pale hair from his chest to his crotch. His senses felt more refined. He could see the faint outline of chakra around the kyuubi's body. He could hear the thump of her heartbeat. He could smell...
---
Naruto woke up. He could hear whimpers and moans. He could smell the sweet musk of arousal. He opened his door and crept out. The floor seemed almost soft under his feet, allowing him to move silently, following the alluring sounds and scent to Temari's room.
He paused at the door to listen and take in the scent, the taste of it on his tongue.
"Mmmhm...." the quiet moaning continued between shallow stifled breaths.
He could hear the rapid beating of the heart in the room. He could smell the perspiration, the blood engorging her breasts and clit. The scents permeated the air, even though there was no bleeding.
"Uhnhn... Na... Naruto..."
This was more than he could handle. He turned the knob of her room gently. It was locked. He growled deeply in his throat and pushed. The lock snapped. Temari gasped from the inside. It was dark. She couldn't see him, but he could see her clearly. One hand whipped down between her legs to cover her shame, the other reached for a kunai.
Naruto leapt across the room and grabbed her wrist. He growled softly and brought her wet fingers to his mouth and sucked the juices from them.
"Naruto?" Her fingers had touched his fangs, "What are you doing?"
He growled warningly and placed a finger on her lips to silence her. He took her other hand and forced it away from her crotch. He licked them clean. He grabbed her legs and forced them apart, driving his long flat tongue into her moist hole. Temari whimpered and grabbed the back of his head, forcing his nose to nuzzle the patch of gold above her mound. She let out a cry of pleasure and sprayed his face with her liquids.
Naruto took her hands from his head and forced her down flat on the bed. He had waited long enough. He dropped his boxers, letting his dick hover over her, his glans rubbing softly against her clit. With a sudden thrust, he was inside her.
Temari cried out. Naruto took her lips with his own to dampen the sound of her scream. He thrust powerfully, over and over again. Each thrust was accentuated by a flare of bright rebright red chakra from his tails. Temari tried to scream and escape. The tightness of her resistance made Naruto harden until it was painful. Her attempts to scream were distracting. He released her lips and drove his fangs into her neck, drinking her sweet delicious blood. Her body spasmed and her throat as torn out, leaving a gaping hole in her neck as Naruto came into her.
---
Sand rubbed against his body. Naruto squirmed.
"Wake up!" The kyuubi's voice screamed in his head, "Wake the hell up!"
Naruto's eyes snapped open to see an enraged Gaara.
"What's going on?" Naruto could feel the desert coffin tightening, ready to crush the life out of him.
"I warned you of what would happen if you ever hurt my sister." Gaara's sand was slowly covering his body, "Look what you did to her!" Gaara yelled.
The sand coffin turned. He could now see Temari. Her body was covered in burns. Her crotch was blackened. Her shoulders had black imprints of his hands burned into them. Her lips were charred. Her throat was torn open like she had been mauled by an animal. The sheets of her bed were soaked with blood.
"I-I didn't, I couldn't have done that."
"Thise are your hands, your teeth, your face covered in Temari's blood as you laid naked in her bed!" Gaara's sand pulsed, growing into a large claw over his left arm and growing up to cover his eye with a golden bloodshot eye of sand. His face held a crazed expression, one Naruto had thought he'd seen the last of long ago.
