Naruto no Rei
Ch. 5 – Death
-=-
The sun in the bright skies of Konohagakure finally set. As they did, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Sasuke, and the entirety of Konoha's Hyuuga clan stood before the gates, Doujutsu active and weaponry on hand. As they stood, they all felt a nearly bone-crushing pressure, only Kakashi and Hyuuga Hiashi still able to breathe. As the pressure grew, an unholy and evil roar sounded out, a bloody red glow appearing on the horizon. The glow vanished, reappearing as an aura around a white and red creature crouched in front of the ninja forces.
The creature was growling, a large broadsword in its right hand, its nine tails billowing and waving maliciously. It raised its head as if looking at the face of its master, its eyes glaring through the souls of the people before it. The pressure increased, the younger warriors apart from Uchiha Sasuke crumpling to the ground in passed-out heaps. The walls began creaking, as almost all the people passed out from a lack of oxygen due to the pressure hindering their breathing. The creature let the pressure soften up, no longer trying to suffocate them as the important pieces in his "game" were all that were left.
The arrogant one, Hiashi, the favoritist teacher, Kakashi, and the traitor that killed him, Sasuke. The pressure gone, Sasuke regained the arrogance to smirk. "Well, you must feel pretty good, Dobe. You had the power of the Kyuubi no Kitsune in your gut, and you were still too weak to beat me. I doubt you're strong enough to take me down even now."
"Te-me… you… ar-ro-gant prick. I'll kill you… I'll kill you… I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!" Naruto, his last remaining rationality lost to his anger, using his step to appear behind Sasuke, cutting the Uchiha's arm off. He stabbed Sasuke's other three limbs with three tails each, and grabbed his head and slammed it incredibly hard into the ground, the ground cracking in a spider-web pattern. Naruto picked Sasuke back up and threw him head-first through the walls of Konoha.
Naruto's sword began glowing red, and he slashed horizontally at Kakashi and Hiashi. There was a red shockwave, directly followed by a sea of sparks, as if the air itself was being burned. Kakashi jumped out of the way, seeing that Naruto had become even more dangerous than before, but Hiashi dropped his weapon and began spinning.
"Hakkeshou Kaiten!" Hiashi called, a dome of chakra appearing around him. The shockwave hit it, and was stopped, but it didn't die down. Hiashi began to sweat a little, feeling the continuous force against his defense. He eventually stopped and dove to the side, narrowly evading the shockwave as it tore a path of destruction through the streets of Konoha, stopping after wrecking a few buildings. Kakashi charged Naruto with a short-ish katana that glowed with white chakra. Naruto slashed downward, while Kakashi slashed horizontally. However, at the last second, Kakashi and Naruto both vanished, reappearing in a deadlock, swords clashing, Kakashi's Raikiri and Naruto's tails, all pushing against each other.
Naruto used his step to get out of the deadlock, and crouched down. His nine tails came to his face as he sat as if he were about to howl to the sky. He opened his mouth, the tips of his tails pointing toward his open mouth. Red energy began converging in front of his open mouth in long thick strips, making a ball of the energy. The ball grew until it was the size of a basketball, and Naruto's tails pulled back, waving around again. The ball moved as if connected to Naruto's face. He bent down, head bowed, before his head snapped up, the ball exploding in a massive burst of energy toward Kakashi. Kakashi shunshin'd out of the way, looking at the massive energy burst as it impacted the forest, going straight through it. When the huge blast cleared, the forest was gone, a trench reaching a thousand feet wide at its end stretching clear across Hi no Kuni.
Seeing his opportunity, Hiashi grabbed the spear he dropped, and lunged at Naruto who was recovering from the aftershock of the massive attack he let loose. Hiashi pushed as much chakra as he could into the spear's tip, and jabbed it into Naruto's mask. Naruto's eyes going wide, he began to roar, thrashing about as his grip on the physical world began slipping. His legs began dissolving into ash, floating into the sky, lashing out with his sword and tails. He bashed Kakashi's head with a tail, knocking the copy-nin unconcious, and he used a tiny version of his massive attack, not able to focus the energy with his tails as they were now dissolving as well. He made it the size of a baseball, rising his head straight up, before bringing it down aiming at Hiashi, a loud, angry roar escaping Naruto's mouth as a five-inch wide blast of the red energy went at the speed of sound, hitting Naruto's enraged target. Hiashi's pride, his precious Byakugan eyes. His final revenge attained, he let loose an evil, almost happy roar, bringing an incredible pressure over Konoha that brought all civilians to the ground and shinobi to their knees. The children, being weak, were all crushed dead, while the normal civilians began to feel their bones cracking. Most of the buildings began to crumble, only the sturdiest buildings standing firm. Naruto, now only his face remaining, finally gave off on the pressure, the last of his energy spent.
Tsunade looked out over her village, eyes wide with shock as she found herself able to breathe again. 'All this destruction… this was Naruto's doing? All of it? He was able to become that powerful… once he forsake his morals? Became the demon Konoha always thought he was? That's just, just… god help us if he ever comes back…'

Arc End
Like I said, kinda boring. Introduced Cero, as well as Naruto's incredible spiritual pressure. Honestly, he absorbed the power of almost four hundred grunt Shinigami, equaling about the strength of three Taichou, and then he absorbed the equivalent of one and a half Taichou's Reiatsu soon after.
The Arc end signifies a time skip, from normal hollow to… well, what else is there? Wait and find out.
Later!
