The perfect ninja

Chapter 2: Beyond Perfection. The beast of living catastrophe.


Nine

Nine different tails

more than a thousand different ways too cause disaster.

A swing of just one could cause tsunami's. two could shatter the tallest of mountains many times over. Pray that all nine have Never been used at once. For it is said that the combined power could shatter the world.

Just like they were destroying the lives of the ninja attacking the one they were all connected to.

Kyuubi No Kitsune. Nine tailed demon fox.

the forests of Konohakagure were normally serene, quiet and if looking from a mountain top it was breathtaking in appearance. Now it looked like hell on earth. Blazing red washed over the sea of green as the great demon king made with march of the village that used to be hidden by leaves. Its tales whipping out in seemingly random directions as each lash spreading more flame and swatting the insects that were it's way.

Below it even the lowest level of ninja were going through seals with the speed of their beloved Kage. Firing a seemingly unending stream of Jutsu's at the monster. Giant balls of earth,water, lightning and wind (fire would be sort of redundant) speed towards their target. It was all for nought as it continued it's path of destruction like nothing was happening. The only indication that it was even aware of the massive assault on it's being was that a tail or two would lazily lash out every few minutes. Killing at the very least more than a dozen ninja with a single pass.

A little way's behind the front lines lay Hatake Kakashi as the medic nin and long time friend Rin poured her chakra into fixing the gaping wound in his stomach which had been made when Kakashi had jammed a Raikiri into the monsters foot with intent to slow it down. It was for nought as the Kyuubis healing factor was on a level beyond instantaneous and actually reformed healthy tissue 'as' Kakashi drew his hand out of the demon. Without so much as a twinge in annoyance the only way the Cyclopeann nin knew the Kyuubi had knew it had been attacked is when the angry red matted fur on the foot he was drawing his hand from suddenly jumped forward and impaled him with such force that if not that he was right in the middle of shushin the instant he noticed the hair come to life he would have been cut in half.

In another part of the battlefield Jiraiya was breathing heavy trying to stop blood from erupting from the dozens of cut and wounds that criss crossed his uglier than usual body. His nose with a single wart was now bulbous and had several warts. The two streaks of paint that ran don his face like tears had now darkened to black and covered most of his cheeks and his eyes. His hands fingers and toes were now connected by amphibian webbing and if that were not strange then consider that he had on either shoulder a toad on regular size. Yet looked not unlike an old married couple.

In fact.

"What did we tell him about attacking the fox." The one on his left said in the voice of an old woman.

"I know dear." The one on the right said in the voice of an old man who had heard this sort of argument all too often

"We told him not to attack the fox and what does he go do?"

"I know dear."

"Back when I was a tadpole we did what our parents told us. They said don't go near a giant fox and we stayed a good mile well away from them."

"I know dear."

A long wet tongue whacked him in the head with the force of a bat.

"You ingrate. Listen to me when I'm talking to you.!

"SHUT UP!" Snapped the one in the middle of the marital spat.

The old man looked relieved while the old woman just stuck up her nose in indignation. The old sages eyes drew a serious expression as it looked of ahead where the Kyuubi was destroying the army of Konohakagure with as much effort as it takes to blink. All three had grave expressions as they realised that they re part in the fight is over. Jiraiya had went against the monster his strongest toads and his greatest techniques. Gamaken his strongest battle toad had put up a good fight but he was simply no match for the great fox and so had to vanish before the final blow was struck and he couldn't call Gamabunta for the risk that he might be hurt and rendered useless before Minato could do whatever he was planning with him.

He just wished he knew what he was planning to do.

Nothing stupid he hoped but knowing his old apprentice it was way more than likely


Minato really wished he could be in two places at once right now.

Not for the reason to go fight the Kyuubi either.

Oh sure he could have used 'Kage Bushin' but they tend to go poof after a significantly powerful blow. Not to mention the memory transfer that goes with the technique and he was pretty sure that he wouldn't want to even remember what he was going through now.

"Push Kushina push." Said the medic nin.

"WHAT THE &K DO YOU THINK I'M DOING YOU &KWAD!! IM £ING WELL NOT PULLING AM I!!"

That's right folks Namikaze Minato. Strongest Kage in the world and therefore the greatest ninja alive. Whose infamy is so great that the order is 'flee on sight' in the bingo book. Whose mention of his name was the death penalty in hidden rock. Was on his knees whimpering like a baby as his wife effortlessly crushed every bone in his hand into chalk dust. (1)

"whimper."

Her fiery eyes of anger set themselves on him. "YOU!! YOU DID THIS TO ME YOU &£ING PIECE OF "! WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE YOUR GONNA BE £& WITH & HIPPOPTAMUSAAND GIANT !£& IN A TOWER FAR AWAY TO (&ING BOIL YOUR &TS IN STEW!!

Wow.

"Jut another push Kushina. I see the head."

She threw her head against the pillow and grunted in pain. Squeezing her husbands hand with all her might. It was both a bad and a good thing that his hand now contained no significant bones to speak of for the soul reason that all painful sensation generated by the crushing was gone. Though he wasn't exactly sure how long it took bones to mend inside what was pretty much a sack of dust.

"It hurts." She squeaked out pathetically.

Minato placed his good hand on top of her in a comforting motion.

"It's al right dear. Don't worry everything will be fine." He said with a warming smile.

She smiled back as another wave of pain hit her as she passed the metaphorical melon through the peashooter.

"One more on three." Said the medic nin.

One

Two

Three

"RAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH."

"AAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH."

"WWWWAAAHHHHH."

The first scream came from the new mother as she passed the last hurdle of he pregnancy.

The second scream was of the new father as his wife latched onto his other hand in the confusion and proceeded to work her magic on it like she did the other one.

The third scream came from the new member of the family as he was introduced to the world.

The medic nin wasted no time in washing and rapping the new Namikaze before handing him to his mother.

"Here you go a healthy baby boy."

Kushina took her son into her arms and looked down at him was nothing but unconditional love etched into her features. Beside her The lord fourth Hokage looked in wonder at both his new son and at his wife with pride. Next to him a medic nin was examining his hands which just flopped around of their own accord.

Unknown to anyone in the room things were happening to the tiny person not even he was aware of. Cells and D.N.A that had been forming into the mass of tissue being held in the kunoichis arms were adapting to there new non liquid based environment. Strands of genetic code that had laid dormant were now making themselves prominent as the true final stage of development began.

The baby boy looked up at his new parents with bright blue eyes with a mix of curiosity and tiredness. His mother being closest seemed to make up the whole world at the moment. He could literally feel the love she generated and though he could not yet understand what it was he knew he liked it. Even though he did not understand what like was either. On the edge of his vision he could make out a hairy golden shape that seemed to generate the same feelings of love that the red one gave gave off. However though he gave off the same exact feeling he didn't like it. Everyy part of him felt very bad from it at the moment and he didnt understand why. All he could do to express his discomfort was start to cry. But before he could get of more than the initial wail he was bought up to the red one was kissed gently on the forehead, stopping him altogether as she looked up at her with amazement.

Kushina giggled a little at her sons expression. "Hi they're little guy. I'm your momma."

Minato gazed lovingly at his wife "Your a natural." He said.

She said nothing he she shifted the not yet named Naruto round a little. "You want to hold him."

Her husband shoot her a dead stare and held up his wrists where his hands should be. "Love to but for some reason I seem to be lacking in things to hold him with at the moment."

His wife laughed nervously a few times before returning her gaze back to her son. "So we still want to call him after the character in his godfathers book?"

His husband gave his famous shit eater grin "Of course. I told sensei I would and I never go back on my word. That's my ninja way."

"You stole that from me."

"That 'our' ninja way." He repeated.

She held up her son. "Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto. That's your name." She said in the tone people always address babies with as she planted another soft kiss on his forehead before turning to her husband for a deeper one.

The moment was interrupted as a chunin came running in slamming the door open and causing Naruto to start crying in earnest. Behind him were Jiryaiya, the third and Tsunade who was holding her pervented team-mate up while nursing her own side from some bruised ribs that refused to un-bruise after the kyuubi hit her with it's youkai.

"Lord Hokage the Kyubbi is nearing the village."

"What happened to the ninja?"

"Lady Tsunade and master Jiraiya ordered everyone back after it became apparent that we weren't even slowing its pace sir."

Minato looked over at his sensei and his surrogate mother. He nodded in an understanding manner before he realised they were looking past him at Naruto.

"Is that him Minato?" Asked Jiraiya.

The young Kage nodded.

"Isn't their any other way?" Asked Tsunade this time.

She shook his head sadly. "No. As you found out the demon king cannot be stopped by mortal hands. Our only chance is to summon shinigami if we have a hope of survival." He said in a tone of finality.

Sarutobi sighed but conceded the point. "Very well Minato summon Gamabunta and lets get this disgraceful thing done with.

The young fire shadow brought up his arms. He heard a few startled gasps before pulling the sleeve away with his teeth he revealed a summoning tattoo on his forearm. He slung his hand up to his mouth before biting done on it hard enough to draw blood. He wiped his boneless hands along it just as he aimed the face of his tattoo out the window a the wave of chakra shoot out of it followed by a large 'poof' effect. Just like that the great chief toad Gamabunta had appeared in the hidden leaf village.

The great mountainous toad peered down into the hospital window. His eyes crinkling at the tiny human in his mother arms before turning the eye towards Minato.

'Is everything ready Minato? We can only do this once you know and my wife is expecting me to be their today for the twins egg hatching. '

The Hokage nodded to the sage before he turned to say his last goodbyes and pick up his son.

He didn't even get a syllable out his mouth before a feminine fist buried itself in his stomach. Causing him to fall to the ground in agony. Unable to even stand or speak. The third quickly swooped in and lifted the hysterical Naruto from the bewildered mother.

He spoke while Naruto stopped crying to try and grab a his pipe. "Sorry Minato. But you are hardly fit to make even a 'bushin' hand sign let alone a jutsu of this magnitude. Which is why I'll be taking your place." He raised his hand as Kushina tried to get a word in. "I will have no room for argument. This child is going to need his father. So consider this my gift to him." With that he jumped out the window and onward to met his fate.


Upon the blood soaked battlefield the Kyuubi continued his slow march towards the village he would raze. His tails whipping around him in anticipation as they lashed out with ground shattering earthquakes whenever one hit the ground and hurricane winds for each gentle swipe through the air.

Its march continued even when the stream of burning oil hit him full on in the face. It did though for the first time since its journey began stop for the equally large toad standing right in front of it.

'Get out of my way toad lord. It is only because you are a fellow animal lord that I give this chance'.

'Not Going to happen Kyuubi. We have let you loose long enough. Even when you became a demon we allowed you to live. That is a mistake I will now correct.'

The former summon boss gave out a chilling laugh that chilled spines and shattered glass for a mile around.

'You stop me? You and what army Gamabunta. I am the god of demons. There is nothing that can harm me.'

'Harm you? no. Hold you? Yes. Now Sarutobi!!

The Kyuubi had now taken notice of the old man in a white shirt and pants combo (2) standing atop the great toads head with a baby at his feet and flashing through seals with the speed of a god. The stopped at the last one as a bright glow enveloped him.

" IT'S OVER 'SHIKI FUUIN' (Death consuming seal)

The freshly inked seal on Naruto's stomach glowed as the jutsu began to work. The demon fox's eyes widened to the point of shock as he saw death itself rise out of the old man's shadow and reach out for him. He didn't even have time to back away as the icy grip latched onto it's soul and yanked. Their was no resistance as the spirit of the demon king was ripped out of its body which faded away in a red mist almost instantly. Like someone dispelling a clone. The heavily tattooed claw then began to feed the demon soul into the baby when something strange happened. The soul should have been sucked into the seal like a vacuum but it began to sputter as only half the spirit was in.

'Something..is..wrong.'

The elderly ninja watched in horror as the god of death released the spirit from it's grip and began to fade. He didn't even notice that the shinigami had also released it's grip on his soul as well.

"WAIT!! WHAT HAPPENED HERE!! WHY DIDN'T YOU FINISH WHAT WAS ASKED OF YOU!?" The confused former Kage screamed at what was rapidly becoming his shadow once more.

The death god seemed to slow its regression into nothing for a moment to honour the old man's question.

'The..child..felt..wrong...The..seal..only..works..with..a..human..sacrifice..that..thing..at..your..feet..is..not..human.'

The old Kage stared in shock at the infant not 20 minutes old. Who was reaching out for the spirit that was still halfway out of his stomach and flickering madly like a candle in the wind.

"Then...Then what is he." Sarutobi asked no one.

'Not..a..demon...Not..a..god...Not..a..mortal...Just..different' The death god said just before any trace of its existence was absorbed by the old ans shadow.

The old man stared at his dark outline for a brief moment. Before reaching down and scooping up the 'sort of jinchuruki' gingerly. Watching the remaining 20 feet of demon soul out of a previous 70 feet flail about in an unusual manner.

Their was a brief glow from the seal and a feeling not unlike the shinigami's presence as with a bizarre cutting sound the remaining peace of Kyuubi's soul was separated from Naruto's stomach and shot of in a northern direction at a speed that surpassed ANBU. The seal fading into nothing as the former Kage was left holding a baby boy who was once again reaching out for the pipe that had miraculously not dropped in all the hysteria. He sighed as he heard the tell tall soundless sounds of jounin and ANBU approaching. Not wanting to deal with this being nothing more than glorified civilian at the moment be tilted his head closer to the boss toads ear and gave a shout.

"Could you take us back to the hospital Gamabunta? I think Minato will want to hear about his son."

The earthquake underneath the old man's feet signified that the Toad was nodding as it began hopping towards the village centre with care not to drop his passengers.

'So If the Gaki ain't human and he ain't anything from above or below then what do you suppose he is?'

The third didn't even give himself time to answer the question. "I don't know Gamabunta. In all honesty do either of us really wish to find out?"

The great toad didn't answer.

Their gaze was fixed on Konoha now With an occasional glance to check on Naruto. If Sarutobi had bothered to look down a few seconds before on the first time he looked down then he would have seem the boys pupil spawn a single grey comma. Grey, because the rest of his eye had turned strangely pale before it became an unearthly shade of blue again.


(1) See I believe woman do this as a way of punishing men. Sort of like giving them an impression of what they where going through a the moment just so the men can get a grasp on how their wives or whatever are feeling.

Till next time.
