I do not own Naruto. Sue me.
"What have you done!?" Itachi Uchiha asked Naruto with a deadly glare on his eyes. He had only sent another avatar to face his foolish little brother, and despite the fact that he finally saw how low Sasuke had fallen he was still quite angry at Naruto. He had heard Sakura talking to herself when she had returned to the compound, as he had finally decided to go and end Sasuke himself. The troubled girl had thanked kami his brother had perished at Naruto's hand, and now Itachi was truly lost for the first time in years.
"Itachi!? If it's a fight you want then let Sakura go and we'll fight!"
"She is of little concern to me for now! Why did you kill Sasuke Naruto!?"
"Sasuke was sent by Root to assassinate Naruto! He was just defending himself!" Sakura quickly explained worried about what could happen if Itachi targeted Naruto.
"Is this true!?" Itachi asked furious after a long pause.
"It is...He and another root ninja tried the other day. I allowed him to be burned on a pyre instead of feeding him to my beasts, which is as far as my mercy went. He shouldn't have done what he did to Sakura!" Naruto declared looking very serious.
"I agree, which is why I freed her from the genjutsu and why I was going to rectify my mistake today. The Uchiha clan has always been a clan of fools, which is why I destroyed them in the first place." Itachi explained gravely.
"What do you mean!?" Naruto asked now very much intrigued.
"Many years ago, my father and most of my clan planned to overthrow the leaf due to their arrogance. I was eventually left with no choice but to slaughter them all. War isn't a glorious thing, know that and remember it Naruto."
Naruto was extremely surprised by this New information, and eventually he asked." Why join Akatsuki then!? You know that they can't be up to anything of worth, as far as peace is involved!"
"Perhaps you are right, but then who is capable of achieving peace in this world of violence!? The reality is that power keeps people in check, and the striving for power creates violence. The eternal cycle of bloodshed, revenge, ambition, and hatred never ends! Tell me who is worthy then!?
"... I am! I fight to protect my precious people, and I will never give up until I can protect everyone. Only love can defeat the hatred, and even if darkness exists the smallest of light can penetrate it and reveal the truth. That we all love and hate, that we all need help sometimes, that we're ALL ONLY HUMAN!"
Itachi was silent for a very long time, but Naruto almost didn't notice when he started speaking again causing Sakura to gasp in shock. His words had been inspired by B, and he only had Fu on his mind the entire time. He always thought of his deceased wife, but he couldn't and wouldn't let her death overwhelm him. He had too many responsibilities, and after that brief talk with Haku by her grave he had realized what this world really was. Life and death, pain and pleasure, love and hate, and it was all intertwined between everyone who existed. He had mourned Fu for three entire days hardly ever leaving her grave, and he had neglected Anko and Tsubaki those three days by avoiding them. Getting depressed never solved anything, he had learned that while still a small child. No, he could and would change the world for the better, and as Itachi spoke to him he had to ask "what!?"
"I will assist you in attaining peace, if you can tell me how you plan to achieve it."
Sakura and Naruto's jaws hit the ground as they stated at Itachis emotionless expression, and Naruto calming just said." The plan is to protect everyone. It's that simple. I'll kill who threatens my family and seek those out who hurt the innocent. I believe these convictions will inspire others to adopt them as well, and in the end the evil of this world will be purged!"
"You're foolishness amuses me, but somehow...where are we going?"
Naruto's eyes widened and eventually the three ninja continued on the way to Wave, Itachi discarding his cloak and considering what to do about his ring.
~In Wave~
Tsunade Chan, Shizune chan, come quick there's gonna be trouble and I'll need you!" Naruto's clone exclaimed as the Hyuga clan members crossed the Great Naruto Bridge. He didn't want to involve them in this, especially while Tsunade was examining Kimimaru, but he didn't really see an alternative.
"What sort of trouble Naruto kun!? Shizune asked worried while Haku, Kimimaru, and Tsunade listened closely.
"The daughters of the clan head arrived here earlier and they're joining New Whirlpool. I don't think the Hyuga have taken the news so well!" Naruto cryptically explained knowing Tsunade despised perverts. If she knew he was banging both of the sisters he'd probably be screwed.
"Then tell them to go the fuck back brat! You don't really wanna go to war with Konoha over a few people do ya!? Use your head Naruto!" She exclaimed knowing very well the large possibility that this would cause a not so small skirmish.
"I...can't. They're precious to me like all of you are! They're family! They're people with their own hopes and dreams and I won't let anyone take that away from them! If you're not gonna help I understand, but what about you Haku!?"
"You already know the answer Naruto kun." Haku replied instantly with a smile that could kill. Naruto instantly pecked her on her lips thanking her and took off, leaving an annoyed Tsunade and a weary Shizune.
"Dammit Gaki!" Tsunade yelled at the air before saying. Stay here and continue Shizune! This isn't gonna take long at all!"
Not a minute later a multitude of shinobi stood ready, and despite the fact that Naruto wasn't really there at least he had left hundreds of clones to work on construction. And so the small army stood as the Hyuga finally arrived in the large dank clearing. Mangroves could be seen in the nearby river and the sounds of many different species of animals could be heard in the distance. Naruto's students also noticed the disturbance within Wave and followed the clones that weren't jutsu capable as they left the village. Standing behind the clone army were Anko, Tsubaki, Hinata, Hanabi, Haku, and his students. The two sisters went through the crowd of blondes to the front where Tsunade and the most powerful clone stood ready as Hiashi Hyuga began to speak." Hanabi, Hinata, the two of you are to leave that demon and return with me to Konoha at once! This offence will not go unpunished, but I will make sure that you won't be imprisoned! Now come!"
Anko screamed in anger at Hiashi calling Naruto a demon just as Hinata and Hanabi defied their Hiashi yelling that they wouldn't leave Naruto ever. The fight that followed was initiated by the angered Anko who was suddenly in front of everyone already finished with her handseals firing a powerful fire Dragon directly at the clan head who stood in the middle of the 20+ shinobi. Both Hiashi and Neji dodged as well as the others, and just like that the situation was beyond words. There would be no more talk, and as the clones rushed toward the Hyuga only a few remained which were the more powerful of the mass. They numbered around ten, and as the Hyuga clan ninja tore through many of the clones Haku created appeared already finished going through handseals and created a large some of ice that encircled 7 Hyuga jonin. While she was a pacifist by nature this volatile situation called for her to kill her heart and handle everyone she could. The screams of pain within the dome put the remaining clan members on edge as they dodged the various kunai Anko threw, and Naruto's wife actually hit a few of his clones that didn't have the flow active. The Hyuga pushed forward through the clones letting loose many eight trigrams attacks, and eventually they got within range of Tsunade, Naruto and Tsubaki who had joined their side along with the sisters. Naruto however screamed for them to get back as chains erupted from the ten clones, and his seriousness causes the unsure Tsubaki and the hesitant sisters to withdraw thankfully. Hiashi and Neji both evaded the multiple attacks with some difficulty, and eventually Neji was forced to use the kaiten to deflect the chains that struck from every direction. A few Hyuga made it to an angry but patient Tsunade, and even their gentle fist stood no chance against her monstrous strength as she created two shadow clones and sent them forth. While her skill had dulled over time, she still was stronger than jonin and this was realized when a hyenas punched hard enough to kill him instantly and send him flying into another with enough force to knock the man unconscious.
Suddenly the ice dome exploded in a shower of frozen shrapnel finishing anyone who hadn't already been dead within its confines. The Naruto clones weren't left out however, as half slipped underground as the other half minus one transformed into hawks and flew toward Hiashi and And the rest of the off balance ninja. They hadn't expected anything like this to happen, or they would have brought the entire clan! Chains erupted from the tips of the hawk's wings along with chakra blades, and while a few were knicked they were the more skilled of the clan along with Hiashi and Neji. Several of the shinobi skillfully used the rotation to stop the birds, but as the technique ended there were killed by the many sharp chains that bursted from the earth wildly. Naruto's students watched in awe as his clones along with Anko assaulted the scattering Hyuga using Hebi style. Black mambas swiftly struck the Hyuga who were no match for the former assassins. The Hebi style was made specifically for countering the sharingan and byakugan after all, and it wasn't something that was commonly encountered. If you did encounter it, you'd probably never live to tell the tale.
Naruto engaged Neji as Tsunade and her clones rushed Hiashi who was now on the verge of retreat. His pride wouldn't allow him however, and giving the order to one of his clansmen the Hyuga in question shunshined away as he and Tsunade exchanged blows. Despite her strength she was unable to land a hit against the skilled taijutsu master, and she was eventually hit with a multitude of strikes that sealed her tenketsu before she was kicked away into a tree. Her clones kept Hiashi busy however as Naruto and Haku both assaulted him from behind, but they were all knocked back when he used a powerful kaiten and immediately followed up with 128 strikes aimed at different opponents.
There were few Naruto clones left and Tsunade and Haku were recovering, and so Anko summoned a large Anaconda forcing Hiashi to leap away from his close proximity to the group of academy students. Roy decided to then attack as well and used the Phoenix flower jutsu aiming at Hiashi and Neji at the same time. Then both Sheele and Anko attacked the evasive clan head in unison with incredible natural teamwork. Hiashi was actually pressured by the assault but knocked Sheele away with a double palm and Anko managed a shallow cut with a kunai from the opening and leapt back smirking. After a few moments Hiashi stumbled and frowned as his equilibrium began to falter. He could feel the poison coursing through his veins, and deciding to cut his losses he quickly summoned an eagle just as a multitude of jutsu and thrown weapons converged on his position. He barely escaped with his life as Sangos fuuma shuriken sliced deeply into his arm while ice needles riddled his left arm.
Neji and Naruto were now in a fierce taijutsu match that everyone was watching besides the few Hyuga that were still fighting with Haku and Tsunade, and not wanting to be useless after seeing Roy and Sheele both both Kurome and Ryuko rushed in recklessly endangering themselves. Neji seeing their advance lashed out with 16 palms at Naruto who bobbed and weaved them all before countering with ten lightning fast finger jabs using the hebi style. He then attempted a crescent moon kick but instead of hitting Neji his kick hit Kurome who had ran up behind him. Then his clone was caught off balance by Neji who immediately advanced on Ryuko who had her shirasaya in hand. While she wasn't as good as Sheele or Kenshin, she had learned a bit but it still wasn't a match for the jonin level teen. Neji deflected her swings before sinking a spinning back kick into her gut, folding her over. He was about to finish her when a Naruto clone appeared in a shunshin already attacking, something he had never done before but in desperation he had managed it. Punching Neji in the chest with wind chakra swirling around his hand he tore into the Hyuga causing him to stumble back bleeding. Neji had only avoided death by using chakra to shield himself just as Naruto connected, and as the blonde went through three seals quickly he began spinning in place using the rotation to stop the powerful lightning that covered Naruto's knife hand. The clash of the jutsu would forever be ingrained within everyone presents memory as an extremely loud grinding sound filled the clearing. In A flash of light the kaiten exploded sending everyone nearby flying back, and Neji was considerably injured but still capable of combat.
Suddenly the remaining Hyuga regrouped next to him numbering five, and the last Naruto clone burst toward them all by himself with a deadly glare. He shouldn't have touched Ryuko, and now he was gonna pay! Somehow Kenshin was suddenly next to him with a calm expression and his hand in his sword, and Naruto slung himself forward at the last moment into a jumping knee strike. He could feel everything around him perfectly, and as the Hyuga narrowly dodged he dropped into a headspin as chains Shit from his feet killing two of the five remaining Hyuga who were caught by surprise at the unorthodox attack.
Kenshin dashed to the side just as Roy fired a fireball and cut horizontally as it passed him, and he managed to tear into another Hyugas thigh who was already tired. Naruto commanded him to get back while continuing his assault against the three who tried a pincer like maneuver, but he slipped underground as they reached his position and used chains to try and kill them from below. They saw it coming and avoided it, and they were forced to retreat more when Roy kept firing Phoenix flowers at them all. Then Ankos snake lunged toward them sinking its fangs into one of the two remaining survivors, and the rest of Naruto's group began to approach the last two standing.
"If this is my fate, then so be it!" Neji declared ready for death unlike the trembling shinobi next to him. The other man didn't cower however, and dropped into the gentle fist stance just as a brace of shuriken approached from Kurome who had recovered. He easily dodged them but was slightly injured when she used the chakra strings attached to them and they dug into his shoulder. While he should have seen it coming, his fear had obviously effected his judgement, and seeing this Neji grew angry and surprised everyone present by striking his neck killing him.
"How could you Jill your comrade when he was prepared to die by your side!?" Naruto incredulously questioned him.
"It was his fate to die by my hand for his cowardice. Now face me alone Uzumaki, or will you continue to hide behind your women!?"
The Uzukage was instantly in front of Neji, and everyone watched closely without interrupting the battle. Throwing a straight punch and spinning into a claw swipe, Naruto's attacks were deflect and Neji tried to counter but leapt away as a chain nearly skewered him. Another chain sprouted and Naruto slung himself forward into a knee and punch that hit Neji couldn't stop completely. He knocked the punch down but the simultaneous knee strike hit him hard in his torso causing him to tumble back and kip up in a breakdancing type movement back into his stance which was lower than before.
"64 Palms!"
Rushing Naruto head on he began his lightning fast assault but was halted during the 14th palm, as Naruto created two wind blades and using an X cut sliced into his shoulders deeply. Neji stumbling attempted to leap away for space but a chain shot from Naruto's palm and pierced his chest.
"COME EREE!" He yelled pulling him back strongly and uppercutting him in his chin killing him instantly.
"TOASTY!" Yelled Hughes the head of the police force and Roy's best friend. He had only just arrived, and seeing the uppercut he just had to say it.
In a flash of light Nejis lavender eyes turned bloodshot white like the other branch members who had been brought to their deaths, and walking away to check on everyone Naruto didn't even spare him a second glance.
Hiashi punk ass escaped! Oh Shit! Itachi joining Naruto! Tsunade now involved in Shit too! Ya know jiraiya boy ta hit the scene. And what about Yagura, and pein! Will Naruto find Yakumo!? What will Iwa do when his photo hits the bingo book!? Stay tuned.
