"So what do I get with your powers?", asked Naruto, sitting in the pool of water of his mind.
"Well, as you can tell, I'm a demon of metal. There are two types of demons. There are hell demons, the original demons. They were the ones that were cast out of heaven before time and blah and blah. Whatever. The second type of demons are embodiments of malevolent or negative emotions.", explained the demon.
"And I'm guessing you're the second type", Kyuubi said.
The demon gave a thumbs up. "Correctamundo, or whatever. I am the embodiment of all negative emotions caused by metal. Weapons making families fatherless, vehicles destroying the enviroment by burning fuel, and even heavy metal poisoning."
"So... again, what does that get me?", asked Naruto.
The demon sighed. Not that bright this one. "The power of metal. When you activate my powers, your bones, muscles, and flesh in general will gain the physical attributes of metal besides the color and luster."
The demon was regretting his decision of letting himself captured when Naruto gave a blank look. 'What are the villages of Japan teaching these kids? I mean seriously, kids in Sparta knew about weapons and metal before they knew what kindness was. Seriously,this kid needs an agoge to set him straight.'
"Basically, your skin will become hard as metal. Your muscles will never tear due to the toughness of metal, so you'll be able to do superhuman strength without any consequences like those you get from the Eight Gates and internal bleeding. If my powers are activated, electricity will go right through you to either the ground or to the next conductive thing. That's all you need to know for now. You won't be able to do anymore until you get control a demon's energy better."
Naruto's eyes lit up. Basically, he could beat anyone with his strength and survive any beating that any villager or ninja would try to give him. He started jumping up and down in joy. The demon laughed. "I'm glad you're this happy. Now, there's one more thing to discuss."
Naruto stopped jumping up and down and asked, "Like what?"
"Well, this guy's power", he said, pointing to the Kyuubi, "gives you the power to make any demon submit, but that doesn't mean you have the power to control my power. We'll still have to make a contract, just a different one."
Naruto went into a defensive position. "I'm not giving up my soul."
The demon shook his head. "Nah, that's not necessary. But make sure you make the next demon you make submit sign this contract. I'm doing this because I'm interested, but if you don't make the demon sign the contract, you'll just have another voice in your head. And truthfully, you schizo, you have enough problems to deal with besides having beings of destruction in your head."
Naruto nodded. "I guess that makes sense. So what contract?"
"Well, a contract means you give something to get something in return. Usually, it is your soul for power, but you don't want that. So, what could you give in return, hmmmm?", the demon said, prompting for an answer.
Naruto thought for a long moment. "Uhhhhhh, hmmmmm, ramen?"
The demon's smile was wiped off his face. 'What... the... FUCK? This kid is serious. Oh god, the first thing he needs to do is go to a library and study for 300 years."
"No, kid. Just no. You see, demons that are malevolent spirits only want one thing. They want to indulge in their negativity. They want their powers to run rampant, but they can't do that without a human. Now, you live in a community where murder is expected of one of your jobs: ninjas. And that is a great pool of death you can prosper on. Me? I want to be a tool of destruction, massacring hundreds of people. And even if you do give up on this purification crusade, I feel like you'll still kill a lot of people in this village."
"So... I have to listen to a demon's desires and let him do whatever he wants?... No. I won't let myself be corrupted.", Naruto said sternly.
The demon shook his head. "True, but that's just our contract. It won't corrupt you. I'll just... feed off the death you might cause. For other demons, you can offer something else."
"Like what?", asked Naruto.
"Life or Death. Even demons want to survive. Usually, humans can't kill demons, but with my powers, you could kill any demon, if you can win that is. So the contract with other demons will be this: Be my slave or I kill you. No demon will resist."
Naruto nodded as he understood. "Alright... But, with you I'm already powerful, right? I don't need other demons, right?"
The Kyuubi chuckled. "You stupid gaki. The Yondaime was a ninja of considerable strength, and he was only Hokage for his brilliance. There are ninjas in this village who could destroy this village before anybody knew about it."
Naruto's eyes widened. "... Really?"
The Kyuubi continued. "You know the different ranks of ninja, right?"
"Yeah, it's Genin... uhh, Chuunin... Special Jounin or ANBU, Jounin, then Hokage."
"Exactly. With this guy's power, you could probably beat all the Chuunins in this village. Beyond that, you might be able to beat an ANBU, but an entire team of them would decimate you."
Naruto lowered his head. They were that powerful? The demon noticed his depression and was about to tell him something, but then the demon noticed something. "Kid, go back into the outside world. I think it is a good time to test your abilites."
Naruto looked up at the demon. "What? What do you mean?"
"Somone just died. I can sense the iron-filled blood spilled all over the floor. It's absolutely delicious. Anyways, you should check it out. I'll direct you to the weapon that killed the person, and let's just hope the guy hasn't abandoned it."

He breathed hard. That took a lot more effort than he thought it would. The next time the Raikage sends him on a job, he needs to make sure he gets a huge pay raise. He finally got out of the village and successfully did his job. He looked behind him and saw the terrified little girl. Hyuga Hinata, the heiress of the Hyuga clan, owner of the Byakugan, a powerful doujitsu. This bloodline is what the Raikage wants. If the village could learn the secrets of the Byakugan, Kumogakure could be the strongest village in the world. 'Not like the village needs the help with ninjas like me.', he thought.
The girl looks like she was about to shit her pants. Shame, she's a cute little girl. Too bad the village is going to dissect her and get rid of her when they are done with their research. If she grew up, she might have been a beautiful woman. That's heiresses for you.
'Sigh' He had to wait for a while in this tree. The ninjas would most likely check movement in trees and the main roads, so it's best to wait for them to give up first. It might take a while, but he can wait. Good thing the girl's hands and feet are bound and her mouth is gagged. Any movement can doom him.
Plus, the new technology that the Kumogakure researchers developed is only a prototype. It is a chakra dampening field that suppresses traces of chakra. This would make him invisible to the other Hyugas, but it is a small range, so it would have been problematic.
He jumped when he thought he heard rustling in the tree nearby, but he shook his head. There was no way someone found him. He sighed again. This was going to be a really boring night. Just him and the cute little girl next to him.
A thought ran through his mind. 'You know, when they dissect her, they'll only check her eyes, right? They won't check anywhere else, right?' He looked at the girl again. You know, why not? It's not like anybody will hear her, and as long as they stayed in the field, they were safe. He could have a little fun with her before she was dissected.
He grinned and grabbed the little girl by the throat. The girl somehow put an even more terrifying look on her face. He actually enjoyed that look. He wanted a more terrified look, so he risked being heard and said, "Trust me."
"It will only hurt for a little while." The girl did indeed put a more terrified look on her face. It was too good. He reached to tear her pants off.
Before he heard a sound behind him. He turned around and swung his kunai as hard as he could and hit someone. But it didn't feel like it hit flesh. 'Wearing armor, you sneak bastard?' Then he noticed his opponent. It was... a kid. A kid with blonde spiky hair and civilian clothing stood behind him, with a look of anger. He laughed. This is it? A kid? He raised his kunai to stab the kid's unarmored face, but when he hit, it felt like he hit armor again. The kid didn't move. The Kumo ninja was take aback. What was going on?
He then noticed that the kid, even though he looked common, had a gold ring on his left hand on his middle finger. It held a expensive looking black jewel. It didn't seem like this kid was a normal one.
Naruto was furious. Kyuubi had explained what the ninja meant by "having fun" and was furious. When the ninja struck him twice, he didn't move. He wanted to make sure the ninja knew that he had no chance. When the ninja looked at his ring, Naruto remembered the conversation he had just a little while before.
Flashback
"Oh yeah, by the way, one more thing I have to explain.", said the demon.
"Hmm, what is it?", asked Naruto.
"As a sign of our contract, a physical proof will appear. With my contract, you'll find a ring on your left hand on your middle finger. As long as the ring is on your finger, my power will be yours. So if it disappears, that probably means something went to shit, and you should probably not be expecting to be smacked with no consequences. Got it?"
"Yeah, sure. That's easy to remember.", Naruto said confidently.
Flashback End
Naruto looked at the ninja directly in his eyes and said, "What a corrupt being. You will be the first one to that will taste my new powers as I cleanse this place of evil."
The ninja gave a confused look. What was this kid talking about? It doesn't matter. He knows where he is. That means he has to kill him. He didn't know what was going on with the kunai not working, but...
"Raiton: Sandāparusu!" (Lightning Style: Pulsing Thunder)
He made a few hand signs and then placed his hands on the boy's chest. A huge burst of lightning came out of his hands and went into the boy. The ninja smirked. The boy was going to be spazzing anytime soon before his heart stopped.
But... the boy was unfazed. Actually, he looked like he was absorbing the energy. Then the kid grabbed him by the shoulder, and he felt a powerful burst of lightning go through him. He flew out of the field and into the next tree, smashing into the bark. He coughed up blood. What the heck just happened?
The boy was just looking at him now. He growled. He won't lose to a kid, especially one that isn't a ninja. He jumped out of the tree and aimed to punch the kid, when the kid grabbed him the arm, swung him around, and smashed his elbow in. He screamed, loud. Then the boy grabbed him by the leg and brought his fist onto his knee, shattering it. The pain was excruciating.
Naruto made sure the ninja couldn't run anywhere. If the ninja ran, he doubt he could keep up with a ninja with chakra jumping. Then he heard the demon inside his head say, "Hey kid, do you remember those words I said right before I tried to end you?"
'Well, I was unconscious at the time, so not really. Why?', Naruto thought, hoping that his thoughts would be heard in his mind sewer place.
"Well, it's one of my techniques. It allows you to place all the magic power that you can muster into your back and arm. It's not much right now, but it should be enough magic power to end this guy. Basically, it gives you the power of a piston in your arm. Trust me on this. Just say the words, and that will activate the spell. Then aim your hand and fingers to his forehead and push forwards, got it?"
Naruto nodded, which he then realized that it didn't really matter if he nodded since he was out here. God, that ninja must think he is weird. Anyways, "what is the words I need to say?", Naruto asked.
"Capite ferrum transfigat, and don't mess it up."
"What's that mean? Capite ferrum transfigat?", Naruto asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought we were stopping a potential child-rapist. Not taking a fucking language class. Just do it, idiot.", the demon berated.
Naruto flinched at the harsh words, but followed what the demon said. "Capite ferrum transfigat" Then he placed his hand at the guy's forehead and thrusted forward.
What happened next surprised Naruto greatly. His arm shot forward and pierced the guy's skull and then exited through the other side. Naruto's eyes widened in suprise. He quickly tried to get the guy's head off his arm. It made a squelching sound as his arm moved out. Gray matter and pieces of bone covered his arm with a enormous amount of blood. He almost puked, but he didn't. This guy deserved it. He can't seem weak now.
He looked back at the girl behind him. The girl was still scared, but he couldn't tell if the fear was directed at him now. Either way, he needed to help her. He grabbed the kunai and went to remove her bonds. Her eyes grew in terror and tried to shuffle back. Naruto realized then that a murderer with blood on his entire arm coming with a kunai wasn't a really comforting look.
He looked at the girl in her eyes, and then bowed. The girl looked less terrified and more confused. Naruto then reached with the arm not covered in blood and patted the girl on the head while saying comforting words.
When the girl finally calmed down, he grabbed the kunai again and cut the girl's bonds and carefully removed the gag.
The girl coughed for a little while. After she was finished, she looked at her savior and began to say thank you, but then he grabbed her, and lifted her up bridal style. He then jumped down and placed her down. Her face grew a little red from being held by her savior. Then before she could show her gratitude, the boy left, running faster than most kids can.
But she remembered his face. If he was trying to be mysterious, it was too late. She told herself to always remember his face when she heard the cries of the other Hyuuga members coming towards her.

Naruto stopped when he thought it would be an adequate distance from the girl. He couldn't be caught by anybody from the village now, and if a ninja had the balls to kidnap someone from another village, then she must have been important. A lot of people must have been looking for her. She'll be fine.
Then he sat down and went back into his mind.

"Hey, demon? Kyuubi?", asked Naruto.
The two malevolent beings acknowledged him. Naruto then asked, "It's not just the citizens of the village that corrupt it, is it? Other people outside could corrupt the village, right? Like that ninja?"
The Kyuubi laughed. "Are you only figuring that out now? If you want to keep a village completely pure by removing all corruption, you'll have to kill every other corruption in the world, or at least, the 5 Elemental Nations."
Naruto then looked at the other demon. "Hey, you talked about other demons, right? If I got their power, I would be really strong, right? Strong enough to accomplish my goal, right?"
The demon grinned again. "Yeah. I actually know of one demon that could compliment your ablities of brawling and my metal abilities."
Naruto nodded. Then he looked at the demon with a look of determination. "Alright. Lead me to the demon. I need more power. I can't be weak. That ninja didn't try his hardest, I think. So... I need to be stronger. Not just to beat the ninja and corrupt people in my village, but also the ninja and corrupt people in the other villages."
The demon nodded. "Great. We can go now, if you want."
Naruto grinned. "Hehe, thanks, demon."
"Call me Icir. When you get multiple demons, you won't be able to just call me demon then, got it?"
Naruto smiled bigger. "Yep, Icir. I got it. Hehe."
Icir's smile got huge. This was definitely the right choice. This was going to be fun.

The Hokage watched the entire fight. He knew that Naruto only won because the ninja underestimated Naruto greatly. And he knew that the demon was giving him power, but those runes on his arm looked like Kyuubi. Kyuubi must have made it so that Naruto could control the demon's power. He hoped Naruto didn't give up his soul for that power.
He sighed and placed his forehead on his hands. "I really failed him, Minato. I'm sorry. Please, forgive me."
