Naruto awoke to find Sakura wrapped in his arm. These past few weeks had been the best of his life. He finally was married to the woman of his dreams! Nothing could possibly go wrong. He carefully moved to get out of the bed so he wouldn't wake up Sakura. He was about to put on his shirt when a hand grabbed his throat and smashed him into the wall. Naruto would've been speechless even if the hand wasn't crushing his windpipe. Before him stood the one and only Rykuga Azu. He made a gurgling sound as he tried to speak which was rewarded by Rykuga tightening his grip.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the newlywedded Uzumaki couple. Shhh we wouldn't want to wake wake Sakura now would we?" Rykuga sat whispering as he held Naruto to the wall. Rykuga decided not to waste time as he flooded his bloodstream with iron, only to mix it with his skin. Naruto watched on in horror as Rykuga's skin started to bubble and re-solidify into iron.

"You like it? My jutsu gives me perfect control over every aspect of my body." Rykuga began to tighten his metal hand, slowly crushing Naruto's throat.

"The Reaper says 'I will see you soon'"

Suddenly Rykuga found himself with an empty hand and OUTSIDE! He looked back to see a very pissed off Sakura, fist outstretched.

"Well shit." Rykuga smashed into the ground, cratering it in the process. Rykuga dragged himself out of his hole as Naruto, Sakura, and the rest of their friends confronted him.

"Wow I will actually have to use this." All eyes were filled with shock as a third eye opened on Rykuga's head.

"I know that...That's a Heavenly Eye!" Naruto remembered how the Sage had told him that only 3 could exsist at one time. "So you have one Rykuga?"

"No I have 2. Together the Heavenly Eye of Order and the Heavenly Eye of Madness create this: the Heavenly Eye of Insanity!"

"Leaf Hurricane!"

Rykuga was struck in the face by the one and only Rock Lee. When Lee went to attack again Rykuga caught his leg.

"You are awefully fond of your leg aren't you? I wonder what would happen if" Rykuga slammed Lee onto his back, braced himself, and began to pull, "you lost it!"

Lee screamed in pain as sickening crunches and pops were heard. Lee's leg was pulled out of the socket and the muscles began to tear. To make it worse, Rykuga used his Heavenly Eye to put Lee under an extremely strong genjutsu. Everyone heard as Lee's screams intensified. Rykuga was laughing maniacly and was just about to pull off Lee's leg when he was struck in the face by Naruto. Lee was almost safe. The only problem now was the genjutsu he was under.

Naruto turned his attention back to Rykuga just in time to see the fist as it connected with his face. Naruto was sent flying only to have a wall of sand catch him.

"Thanks Gaara." Naruto muttered as the Sand Siblings joined the fight. Naruto entered into a bout of taijutsu with Rykuga, his friends striking when they could. Slowly Naruto watched helplessly as his friends were picked off one by one, forced to retreat from injuries. Finally Rykuga grabbed Neji and cut his throat without hesitation. Rykuga then transformed his hand into a massive blade and stabbed Neji. He cast his broken body to the ground.

"You have 2 minutes to save him." Rykuga was laughing maniacally as he continued to advance. Naruto quickly attacked him as he called out to Sakura to heal Neji. She quickly obliged and raced over to her fallen friend. Suddenly Naruto found himself pinned to a wall, iron spears protruding from both shoulders.

"Come on! I want to fight the Kyuubi. Come on out foxy and lets play!" Naruto smiled inwardly as Kurama just rolled his eyes.

"This guy must have a death wish."

Before Naruto could respond he heard Rykuga say this: "Fine then. I guess I'll have to settle with killing your pink-haired wife." Rykuga pointed his fingers in the shape of a gun towards Sakura.

"Bang"

An iron bullet hit Sakura between the shoulders causing her to collapse.

"NOOOOOOO!"

Naruto ripped himself from the wall.

"Kurama, switch. I want this fucker DEAD!"


"NOOOOOOO!"

Everyone watched in shock as Naruto sprouted 6 tails and immediately attacked Rykuga. Rykuga laughed and began to shot Naruto only for the bullets to bounce off. Naruto launched toward Rykuga and began battling using primitive taijutsu. Even then Rykuga was able to keep up and both figures became blurs.

"Did you see her fall. Oh imagine the pain she felt. Or the feeling of betrayal because her husband couldn't protect her!" He couldn't help but laugh as he could see Naruto snap.

A massive beam of read chakra shot into the sky and began expanding. The killer intent was so extreme that many people that watched began to shudder uncontrollably.A massive orange paw emerged from the beam.

"Oh no!" Gaara stared in horror as the Nine Tailed Demon Fox emerged. "It's free."


Kurama streched as it was his first time being free in 20 years. He then located Rykuga and began to form a Tailed Beast Bomb.

"Not here Kurama. You might injure my friends." Naruto glanced at the fox to see him nod.

"Got it Naruto."

Kurama grabbed Rykuga and launched him into the air before he fired the Tailed Beast Bomb. Both Kurama and Naruto watched in satisfaction as Rykuga disappeared in the blast.

"Ok Kurama, please switch back." Naruto wanted desperately to check on Sakura. Kurama nodded his head.

"She is still alive Naruto." Kurama knew what his blonde friend was thinking.

Right before everyone's eyes, the Kyuubi shrank back down into a panting Naruto. Naruto immediately made his way to Sakura, not noticing the looks of amazement on everyone's faces. Only after Sakura had began healing the bullet hole did he notice.

"What?" Naruto felt like he was a child again as everyone stared at him.

"Naruto. Did you just release the Kyuubi?!" It was Gaara that said this.

"Yes I did, and his name is Kurama." Naruto again watched everyone's faces turn to that of astonishment. He then realized that he never explained what happened.


After telling the whole story there was nothing but utter silence until Sakura finally said something.

"I'm so proud of you Naruto. You did something that no one else could do: you tamed the Kyuubi!"

"Jeez it sounds like you domesticated me when she puts it that way." Kurama had a look of digust on his face.

"Well Kurama get used to it. She is my wife and your comrade." Naruto chuckled at the fox's expression.

"Hey Naruto."

"Yeah Sakura?"

"Your not wearing a shirt." She looked around as nearly every girl in the area took the opportunity to stare and sigh at the Hero of the Leaf Village. Naruto blushed as he realized she was right and him and Sakura quickly took their leave of absence.


Rykuga watched the whole thing.

"Guess it's time to report back to my master." Rykuga couldn't help but laugh at what was in store for Naruto.

"Let the games begin!"
