Chapter 55 A Risky Move
Minato, Kushina, Meiko and Rin all stood in a state of shock as they looked at Naruto who stood under the plant that was supposed to transform him into a demon instead he stood before them appearing on the outside to be human but according to him he was now a demon.
"So you are already a demon?" inquired Minato as the shadow his son cast behind him was not a human but a kitsune.
"Yes, I am." Confirmed Naruto with a sad laugh. "Your little plan to turn me and then convince me that demons are ok isn't going to work. I still have my mind…mostly."
"Mostly?" inquired his mother
"I think some of the Kyuubi's bloodlust has come along for the ride along with his chakra and other things." Admitted Naruto "But that I am not totally sure, it may be just the fact that I have never been so angry in my entire life. I hate what I have become but I know what I have to do and before while I may have hated it I am looking forward to it."
"Wait, that demon form you took when we faked out those scouts that was the real you?" inquired Mieko as she remembered when her brother had appeared as a demon to fake out another group of demons. Naruto grinned a bit before shaking his head.
"Not fully, I changed a few things to keep the cover up so I could blend in if needed." admitted Naruto
"That isn't possible, demon chakra kills human chakra." Said the Medical Ninja Rin, she was under the cover of a building protecting herself from the downpour of rain, as a fire kami she could get badly hurt in a large downpour of rain which was coming down now. Beside her the newly turned Sasuke and Karin was still recovering from being turned into demon snakes.
"Well myself and Fuu are unmistakable evidence that isn't the case, it doesn't kill it turns." Said Naruto with a grin as he lifted one of his hands up, the red demon chakra which had been dancing around him began to spin as it began to be focused into a single point about his hand. His hand changed, instead of a human hand, it became covered with black fur and his finger nails extended out into jet black claws which glinted in the light that came from the lightning strikes.
Meiko looked at her own hands, like her father she had white fur around her hands but her mother had black fur around her hands which turned a deep red. The chakra in his hand began to spin rapidly, faster and faster until a red chakra Rasengan formed in her brother's hand. The red glow of their clan's justu casted a strange light in the area.
"What the fuck is going on?" inquired the still human Suigetsu as he walked out into the covered area where Rin, Sasuke and Karin had taken cover. He had what looked to be a carton of yogurt in his hands and for a moment he stood there stunned as he looked at a still human Naruto standing below the closed mouth of the plant. "What the?"
Then Naruto moved faster than anyone had believed possible as he moved not toward his family, instead he bolted toward Rin.
"Rin-sensie!" yelled Meiko as fear ran through her heart as she followed the trail of light which showed the path her brother was taking toward her sensei. Rin had just enough time for her eyes to widened and let out a single name.
"Kakashi-kun." said Rin expecting her end to come but instead Naruto appeared to her right, his hand was raised up and his target was defenseless.
Sasuke Uchiha, the last of the Uchiha looked up with new snake eyes as Naruto appeared above him. He was leaping in the air, with a red Rasengan in his hand and blood lust in his blue silted eyes. Sasuke tried to move but he was still too weak as Naruto's Rasengan came crashing down in the center of his chest. Sasuke felt the Rasengan slam into his chest and then the chakra rip into his newly scale covered skin before blowing out the back with such force it lifted him off the ground in a fountain of blood and flesh. That was the last thing Sasuke felt as the Uchiha line came to end.
Karin lied there unable to move as the love of her life was murdered before her eyes, he was lifted off the ground by the force of Naruto's Rasengan and for a moment she saw the massive hole that was ripped out of the back of her love. His chakra died as his life blood began to spill out over the concrete.
"What the?" inquired Suigetsu as Naruto spun toward him and with all his might kicked him into the rain soaked field. For a moment he thought he got off light as he stumbled to a stop, then the plant came down on him.
"You monster!" hissed Karin as she tried to rise, tried to bring her fangs to bare but Naruto coldly kicked her in the face sending her backwards. Naruto pulled a kunai and through it straight into Karin's throat. It wasn't deep enough to kill outright but the blood pouring from the wound went down her throat drowning her in her own blood. She tried to move her hands to heal herself with her medical knowledge, but another kunai pinned one down while Naruto stepped on the other with his shoe.
"Monster, yes I am." said Naruto as he looked the dying woman straight in the eye. "I am a monster, but I am not a traitor to humanity, you had a choice, your choice to betray humanity this is the price you are paying for it."
Naruto watched as the life left Karin's eyes before coldly walking past the stunned Rin and out into the rain. His parents and sister looked at him with fear and concern in their eyes as the blood on Naruto's shoes was washed away from the rain and turned the runoff red.
"Naruto?" inquired his mother with concern in her voice as darkness fell over the field for a moment and the outline of a demon fully appeared. Next flash Naruto was back and maybe it was the rain but for a moment, Meiko thought she saw tears running down her brother's face.
"You didn't have to do that?" said Minato as Naruto gave him a sad smile before it turned to a smirk.
"Your right, and the demons didn't have to kill hundreds of thousands of people, take you away from your son and shove the Kyuubi within me all to save themselves but they did and so we find ourselves standing across from each other on what will most likely be the last battlefield of humanity. It's last stand." stated Naruto as he calmly moved back toward the center area. It was just then that the plant spit up the now demon Suigetsu, but he never touched the ground alive as Naruto unsealed his bronzed bladed sword breaker knife and brought it spinning around in a deadly arch taking the newly turned water kami head off in a single move. His body fell to the ground with his head in a different location, blood pouring out of both. "We must do what has to be done."
Konohamaru felt the floor under him move back and forth, he knew that meant he was on a ship of some kind. He couldn't feel anything below his waste and for a moment he tried to remember what had happened, then in a flash he remembered the battle in the rebel camp. The demons had somehow found them and taken out the base. The demon had hit him in the back and he had lost the use of his legs and then they had dragged him into a center area to take away his humanity. The last image that filled his mind was going down the neck of the plant which would take away his humanity. The wet liquid stuck to his body and the needle teeth stuck him. He had dropped head first into the central area and must of hit his head because he had pasted out until this moment. He heard moans and groans coming from nearby and he heard the sounds of distance engine sounds.
"How could this be?" said a nearby voice, he knew who that voice belonged to, Dan the demon council member and uncle to Shizune who had turned out to be a traitor/spy in the Leaf. "This shouldn't have been possible."
"We aren't totally sure." Admitted another voice, he didn't know. "Reports have been coming in from the turning centers, the number of rare demons and even those who have not been around since the humans mascaraed them to the point of extension when we went into hiding."
"Any idea how this could possible?" inquired Dan
"Best guess is that somehow the longer the humans are exposed to the virus the more likely they are to come out like this." stated the voice "It is the best guess we currently have?"
"I see, thanks for your help doctor." said Dan as the sound of hooves on a metal deck moved away from nearby. Risking the chance Konohamaru opened his eyes to see that he was in a cage of some kind, a series of metal bars came down from the metal ceiling on three sides. He assumed that either another set of bars came down behind him or the metal wall behind him. Through the bars he could see Dan standing there, he was a deer like demon with silver antlers coming out of the sides of his head just above deer like ears. Dan wore ninja clothing with a vest over his normal cloths, he had his back to Konohamaru and his hands where currently behind his back. Without moving his head Konohamaru moved his eyes to the left and to his right taking in his field of view. He didn't want to look at what he had become but he could see what everyone else had become. A nude woman lied in the next cell to him, with large butterfly like wings coming out of her back. The next one to his other side was a man, who had become one of those spider like demons with eight legs.
"So your awake." said Dan as Konohamaru eyes turned to face forward and saw Dan had turned around and saw that he had turned around to look at him. "Some of the others are already up but I wasn't sure if you would ever wake up, or that you would walk again. I know the answer to that question, no."
"You are demon scum." Stated Konohamaru
"And so are you now." countered Dan as Konohamaru finally looked at his hands, he had been avoiding looking at them since he opened his eyes. He didn't want to find out what he had become, but there was no way to hide it. He looked at his hands and found that they looked humanoid, they were thicker stronger in nature. He noticed that they were covered with short brown fur and his finger nails had turned a pitch black but for some reason it didn't upset him. He moved one of his hands and looked at his arm.
"Wow…I am ripped." Said Konohamaru as he looked at the muscles clearly visible on his arm, as he used his strength to force himself up to a sitting position. It was hard considering his legs where dead weight now, even so he studied the muscles which now graced his legs and the instant six pack on his chest. He looked as if he had spent a couple of hours a day in the gym building up his muscles. "What the fuck am I saying I am a demon."
"If you want to get technical you're a Ushi-oni." Said Dan as he unsealed a hand sized mirror and held it up. For the first time Konohamaru saw his face, he had a short cow like muzzle and her ears had moved up and two large bull horns came out of the side of his head before turning into points. "I must admit based on what Shizune told me I half way expected a Kitsune considering how much time you sent around Naruto but seams that a lot of your clan is becoming Ushi-onis. Not sure why, I mean Nara clan becoming a Bai Ze like me makes sense we have documents saying how their ancestors terminated and stole justus from enslaved Bai Ze but no records of your clan doing that to Ushi-oni."
Konohamaru was too engrossed in himself to take any real note of the words. He had looked from his face to his larger much more well-built frame and muscles. He didn't look at the face but he must admit he liked the new and sudden muscle growth.
"Ah, I see you like what you have become don't you?" inquired Dan
"No." snapped Konohamaru but he was lying through his teeth and he knew it. "I want to be human."
"Really? I don't believe you." said Dan
"You will all die for this?" snapped Konohamaru trying to change the subject, he tried to stand only to remember he no longer could, his legs where not going to work any time soon if ever again. "You may have brainwashed us into liking this but we will hunt you all down and find a way to change back."
"The council will be hunted down and killed, we know and accept that but the bulk of pure bloods will escape with ease. They will blend in to the mass of refuges which left their homes from the virus. With whole towns gone it is easy to settle into a new life and say I was from this or that town and everyone died. No records to say it wasn't true either, part of our plan was to destroy those records clear the slate. They will blend into the population as a whole and be totally safe." Stated Dan "And I think you under estimate how quickly people will get used to being demons."
"I am not." stated Konohamaru as he tried to get angry at himself for being a demon. Even as he tried he found himself liking his new body, his strong look. He wondered how much he could lift with his new muscles, how fast could he run if his legs worked how easy it would be to impress girls with his new body. He tried to force those ideas from his head and they refused to leave totally.
"You forget that people have been through a lot, they have seen so much death and pain that they are willing to accept almost anything that will allow them to escape from that. If a person is drowning they generally don't care if their most hated enemy saves them. They will thank him for it on their knees." stated Dan "We have people coming to us from places we have not even conquered yet because they want to be turned to escape the flu. Secondly people may hate themselves for being a demon but can a parent who has lost everything hate their children who are now demons? Could a couple hate their loved one because of them being a demon just like them? No, in time people will adapt and in an even longer span of time but much shorter then you think people will be totally adapted to the new shape of the world. Children born human will forget about it, parents who have demon children will love them just as much and in time humanity will fade into the dark pages of history until they are as mythically as we once were to humanity."
"I refuse to accept that!" yelled Konohamaru as Dan shrugged. "You killed hundreds of thousands of people to save yourself you are monsters."
"More like millions." admitted Dan with sadness in his voice before stepping aside to give Konohamaru a clear look at the cell across form him. "But we have found that this may bring back species of demons long ago resigned to history books."
Konohamaru looked across the way from him to another cell where a demon he had never seen before lied on the floor. It was a she he could see that and her skin was very strange, it looked as if her skin was made of a bright orange liquid which flowed around her body. Deep brown patches which looked almost black formed hard points around her body as she was wearing armor of some kind. Her shoulders had large spikes coming off the sides and two large horns coming out of her head. It took him a moment to realize he was seeing what the Mizukage Mei Turumi had become, her hair was still there but made out of the same strange liquid with dark rock like hard points. Smaller spikes where on her elbows and on the side of her knees.
"What the hell is she?" inquired Konohamaru
"A Lava Kami." Said Dan with a smile on his face. "They died out long ago but somehow the humans that are being turned later are becoming the long died out demon kinds. This is wonderful news and somewhat poetic."
"I fail to see your point." Stated Konohamaru
"We were content with just saving our kind by turning humanity into demons but now humanity which killed off their kind will in turn become the new gene pool for the rebirth of their kind." Said Dan "It isn't just the different kamis and Rhyuus which are all chakra based but Keshis, Asuras and others are all coming back."
"And that means something to me?" inquired Konohamaru
"On some levels no, but when this is done you will be resigned to a wheel chair the rest of your life as a demon and it will be a demon world." said Dan "You should actually consider yourself lucky, a lot of the crew wants to see you and the other terrorist dead for what you did. This seems like a worse punishment in my view, life as a demon. We will drop you off in the land of fire and then someone will take you up to the Leaf, after that you will have to live out your life as best you can."
With that Dan turned and started walking away leaving Konohamaru locked in the cell as they headed toward the land of Fire and a distance future he didn't even want to think about.
For Sakura and the other members of their group running across the lake in the middle of a storm which felt more like a tornado the distance future was something they didn't have time to worry about. The mass of demons on their trail was more than enough to make them concern about the near future.
"Keep moving!" yelled Neji as they fought the spray and the waves which smashed against them as the storm kicked up waves in the massive lake. They had to cross the lake because all the land routes had been cut off by demons. This was the only route open to them and they had been spotted by the demons and the demons had given chase.
Sakura looked over her shoulder as she ran as best she could across the water, if the surface was smooth or even just a little less choppy it wouldn't have been so bad but it wasn't. The water smashed against her with the force of a punch from Lady Tsunade slowing down her, it was slowing everyone down including the demons coming after them, but the demons where not limited to the ground. The howling storm did limit those who had wings but they were still gaining on them as they fought against the howling storm. The issue was those who could breathe underwater, they didn't have to fight the storm or the wind and only their occasional popping up from the deep told they were there and much closer than their counterparts on the surface or in the air.
"Neji do you see them?" yelled Sakura as she looked to the closest Hyuugu
"Yes." Answered Neji as suddenly he spun around and threw a kunai in the water. The kunai dove into the water before going up in a boom which caused a mountain of water to fly upwards along with a demon. "And they are here."
"How many?" inquired his new wife Tenten
"Too many." Answered Hanabi Hyuuga as the younger Hyuuga looked at him, as head of the clan she was technically in charge however since the current human Hyuga clan numbered three total and two of them where married to each other her authority was limited. "Neji, you and other should stay behind and hold them off while the others make an escape."
"Fuck you." Yelled Tenten over the howling sound of the storm "We will get out together."
"She is right Tenten-chan." admitted Neji with more emotion then Sakura had ever heard from him in her entire life.
"Neji-kun." Said Tenten with sadness in her voice. "Alright we are staying, you all keep going."
"Tenten-chan." Snapped Neji
"I am staying with you, that is final." snapped Tenten back as Neji let out a resigned sigh as Sai jumped out of the way of a hand which had come from the deep trying to grab him. "Everyone else go on, we will stay."
"There has to be another way!" yelled Ino
"There isn't." said Neji as he and Tenten looked at each other and nodded before turning around 180 degrees and running toward the demons.
"Goodbye and good luck my friends, Kiba it has been an honor keep them as safe as you and the others can." Said the quiet Shino as he turned and headed into battle. Sakura could see that Kiba was showing his teeth, he wanted to turn and run but Karui had grabbed his hand and was holding him back from following his friend.
"Forgive me Ino-chan." Said Sai in a sad voice as suddenly he too turned and headed into the teeth of the oncoming attack.
"Sai!" yelled Ino as she turned to go after him only to have Sakura's hand snapped out and grabbed her friend's hand. She turned and looked at her friend with tears in her eyes and saw a painfilled termination in Sakura's eyes. "Let me go! Sai!"
"Sai is doing this to make sure you get out, just like Naruto-kun is doing the same for me." answered Sakura with coldness but that coldness hid a voice that wanted to break down and cry. "Don't waste what he is doing."
With pain Ino turned away and headed back on the path which would take them out of the area of action. With that done Sakura looked around their little group, Temari and Shikamaru where still there, along with Hanabi, Kiba, Hana, Kuria, Ino and herself. They had lost over half their number and they hadn't even gotten out of sight of land let.
With the rain and wind at their backs and most importantly the waves to their backs they headed straight toward the mass of demons. The underwater demons seeing the oncoming threat to their own kind, turned around to attack them from behind.
Tenten unsealed her weapons as she looked at the surprised look on the demon's faces, they hadn't expected anyone to charge them. Now that it was happening they were stunned for a moment, in that moment Tenten sent multiple pure bronze kunai flying forwards. The rain made aiming harder than it would normally have been but she still hit all her targets. The pure bronze burned upon impact and couldn't be pulled out with ease because they would burn them as they tried.
Sai pulled his own bronze short sword as he headed into the battle, while Shino stayed back and sent as many bugs as he could out to fight. Due to the rain and water the number of bugs was lower than he would like but still some demons went crazy as the bugs attacked them. All four of them knew this was a hopeless fight, but every moment they held off a demon was another moment for the medical team of Hana, Ino and Sakura to get away. It was those three and their medical knowledge which was key to finding a cure for the red flu and how to turn demons back into humans.
High above Fuu was engaging in a type of combat she had never really trained in but now was forced to fight in, she was fighting while flying. She had only had her wings for a few days and she had been underground which limited any training in that field. She felt her muscles on her back which she assumed flapped her wings screamed in pain from the efforts of combat as she dove and jinxed in air combat. It didn't help that she was fighting in a storm which was only getting worse every moment. Rain pounded down on her and hurt her new thin wings and her bones, she had lost almost 20 pounds when she had turned dropping from 105 pounds to 88 pounds and all of it seemed to be in her bones. The likely theory was that her bones had howled out like a birds which allowed her to fly. The loss of weight may have allowed her to fly better, but it made every blow against her much more worse.
She drove down on another one of the fairy like demons she herself had become, she forgot the name and didn't care as she drove the blade into the back of the flying demon. She rode the now dead demon down a bit before jumping off and flying back up toward another demon this one a flying dragon like creature. She tried to stab this one with her long knife, but the natural hardened scale covered skin of the demon deflected the blow. Bronze was not the best for cutting into something however the touch of the metal did burn the demon who screamed in pain before attacking Fuu. Fuu dodge the attack and faded back into the darkness of the sky, with it being so dark and conditions so bad it allowed Fuu to disappear into the mass of demons in the air.
"This is pointless." Complained Fuu to herself as she looked around, she knew she could fly away and disappear. She was a demon yes, but a demon with a human mind and that meant she could decide where she wanted to go. She looked back toward the village, she could see in the distance three humans she couldn't tell which humans it was fighting back to back with a human or was it two humans she couldn't tell from this distance in the center of the area. They weren't moving in any way she could tell and the demons where swarming around them like water running around a rock in a stream.
"That fight is over." said Fuu didn't know any of the people fighting down below well, she looked at a closer position and saw some of the people she knew better fighting down there. Neji, his new Wife Tenten, Shino and Sai where holding off the tip of the thrust of the demon which was coming toward them. The fight there wasn't over yet and that was where she headed. She had to dodge a kunai thrown by Tenten who thought she was an enemy, only when she drove her sword into the back of a demon's head did the attacking leaf ninjas realize that she wasn't an enemy.
"Fuu?" inquired Tenten confused.
"Yes, no time to explain." said Fuu as she joined the fight between the demons and the humans.
Back on land Shizune stood back and watched with a heavy heart, she didn't even feel the cold rain or care about it as it drenched her. Her fur stuck to her body and her smaller antlers dripped off rain water, shame filled her heart as she watched her friends fight for their humanity against an unstoppable tide of demons. They had already taken the both of the elder Naras, out on a little pier Guy was fighting along with Anko. Inoichi Yamamaka was down with a wound to his chest with Iruka doing what he could to treat the wounded older man. Iruka himself was bleeding from a leg wound, she had seen him get slashed by a sword wielding Rhyuu and feared for his life but judging from how fast the medical wrapping was turning a dark red told her that the sword hadn't cut an artery. She was too far away to judge if Inoichi's wound was life threatening but it didn't look good.
"Order the demons behind them to back off and let them fall back, take Iruka and Inoichi and bring them to me, I will heal them as best as I can before we turn them." Ordered Shizune to a nearby aid, the aid knew that Shizune was standing in for her uncle on the council so her orders were listened to.
It took effect minutes later as the demons which had been attacking from the water backed off opening more of what remained of the pier open to the humans. At the same moment the frontal attacked picked up and to Shizune's horror one of the demons sent a fireball flying straight at the wounded Inoichi and Iruka. Anko blocked it but only at the last moment.
"Fall back, get away if you can." Ordered Iruka as he looked at Inoichi before looking up at Shizune with hate in his eyes. "Inoichi needs medical attention, I can't give him that."
"What about you?" said Anko as she dodged an attack.
"I can't even stand, I am no help." Said Iruka as Guy looked at him. "Go you will have better chance without us."
"Guy, he is right." Admitted Anko as suddenly she went spinning as a kunai hit her in the shoulder. She went down as a second kunai hit her in the small of the back.
"GO!" yelled Iruka as the demons rushed them and Guy following the orders of the much younger man attempted a break out. There was just too many and he was overwhelmed by numbers.
"What a waste." Said Shizune sadly as the demons begin to bring them to her. She checked a small map and noted the location of the nearest plant. She had just located it when Iruka, Guy, Anko and Inoichi joined the restrained Naras.
"I am sorry about this, truly I am." apologized Shizune as she looked at Inoichi, his wound while bad wasn't life threatening. All of her former friends where glaring at her with pure hate in their eyes. It was Iruka's eyes which hurt her the most.
"Why Shizune, why did you do this?" inquired Iruka as Shizune moved to heal his leg enough to allow him to walk on it. Shizune stopped for a moment and looked at the wet brick road. "Why betray us?"
"I didn't want to do this, but it had to be done." Said Shizune "It has been in the works long before I was born and I tried to save as many lives as I could."
"You designed the red flu, the flu that killed millions." Snapped Iruka
"Yes." Admitted Shizune as she made no attempt to hide it. "But the council wanted to do this almost a decade ago, I talked them out of it and redesigned the flu to make it less deadly."
"The mountain of dead bodies and mass graves say that is a lie." Snapped Anko
"I could only drop the percentage of death from 95% death rate to around 80%." Defended Shizune, it was a paper shield, and everyone knew that. "That 15% of the population saved because I redesigned the flu. I have the blood of all those people, but I also saved people as well."
"Shizune, you can example all this after we turn them." Said another voice as Shizune turned to see a white kitsune.
"Yes, Council Woman." said Shizune as they headed down the road to add 6 more demons into the world.
While most of the water born demons had turned around to engage the attacking humans not all of them had done so. Almost two dozen of them moved in to attack them like a pack of undersea wolves.
"Ino one of them on the right." Said Hanabi as she used her byugakun to spot the demons in the water. Ino threw a regular kunai into the water. Ino didn't know if she had hit the oncoming demon and didn't care if she did, it seemed to have broken off its attack and that was enough for the moment.
Sakura was growing tired of running for her life and she never heard the demon breaking through the water behind her. She did see the man dressed in black and orange with a Rasengan in his hand as he jumped over her and slammed the ball of chakra into the demons chest.
"Naruto?" inquired Kiba in amazement.
"Keep moving. You need to get clear as soon as you can!" yelled another Naruto as two more Narutos headed to back up the one which had attacked the demon.
"Shadow Clones." answered Sakura as she spotted ten more Naruto's forming a sort of defense line around three more clones one of which was on one knee with the other two standing on either side of him. All three were waiting as the nearest protectors to the three yelled at them to keep moving.
"Keep going, don't know if this will work. Where are the others?" yelled one of the clones.
"They aren't coming." Answered Sakura as the clone of Naruto lowered his head.
"Alright." Said the clone with a resigned sigh as they moved past them line of 10 clones of the man she love and noticed that five more clones formed another line of defense behind the three clones. As she ran past the clones she noticed that the moment she passed the three Naruto's in the center of the line, the nearest clone behind the three pulled out a flare gun and sent a bright green flare flying up into the sky.
"What is he doing?" inquired Ino expecting Sakura to know what her boyfriend was planning but in this case she had no idea what Naruto was planning but she knew it had something to do with the three clones in the center of the defensive ring. Then she noticed two more flares rising behind her to her left and her right and a third directly behind her for a total of four flares in the sky.
"Something risky." Answered Sakura with a heavy heart as she looked down. "Naruto-kun, please be safe."
The mass of demons which had swarmed around the leaf ninjas and Fuu moved around the band toward the line of Naruto clones which formed another line of defense from the band getting away. As they did the three in the center of the ring formed hand signs with the two on either side of the third placing a hand on the shoulder of the third. When they finished a wall of chakra shot out from their bodies cutting off those 10 clones from the five more behind the line. The three clones who had cast the seal stood directly in the middle. At three other points other groups of Naruto clones where doing the same only difference was at those points there was no sign of any actual demons, they had all moved into the center area.
"I don't have to tell you we can't let them reach the sealers, if they break the seal it is all over." said one of the clones as they prepared to do battle with the oncoming rush of demons.
Just then a mass of demons came around with of all people Shizune in the lead along with an injured adults which had thrown away their humanity to buy time for their children and the next generation. The group stopped in their tracks as they saw Naruto standing in the middle of the courtyard still appeared human.
"Naruto?" inquired Shizune as she looked at the human standing before the plant.
"Traitor." Said Naruto coldly as more demons shoved forward through the crowds.
"What is going on?" came another voice as a white fur kitsune pushed through the crowds followed by others in nicer cloths then the others.
"Council woman." Said a voice
"So you're the council?" inquired Naruto as the council members looked at him, not sure what was going on.
"Yes." Said the council woman as the others beside her nodded their heads. "Now who the hell are you, human?"
"He isn't a human, he is a demon." Explained Minato as suddenly through the darkness a green glow came from behind him. He like so many others turned around to see a glowing green flare over the lake.
"Well now that they are clear it is time to get started." Said Naruto as more flares flew up from three other locations until there was four points coming up from every direction. Naruto quickly began to run through hand signs as a massive amount of chakra began to dance around the area. The chakra was so hot that it actually evaporated the falling rain and dried out the ground. Then the rain stopped falling as Meiko looked up to see a dome of chakra forming over their heads coming to a point above their heads. Then for a moment the chakra stoped and it was as if time itself had been frozen in place as Naruto stood there in the center with a sad but cocky at the same time grin on his face. She could feel her father tense up beside her and she knew that couldn't be good.
"Yes, it is what you think it is Dad." Said Naruto "I bet you wish you hadn't left Jiraiya sensei all your records."
"Naruto you can't risk this." said her father with pure fear in his voice. "Your wind chakra not lightning."
"I will do must be done." Said Naruto as the sound of distance lightning strike hitting the doom reached her ears. She saw that the bolts where hitting the top of the dome like a lightning rod and then a single bolt shot down and hit Naruto but he is remained standing. Lightning danced around him as he let out a slow breath.
"Minato what is going on?" yelled the kitsune council member as to the amazement of everyone but Minato Naruto disappeared in a flash of light and reappeared directly in front of the snow white kitsune. She had no time to react as Naruto brought a clawed demon hand up and into the base of her muzzle. That normally wouldn't be enough to kill but his hand was covered with lightning and the bolts ran from Naruto's claws into her body. It fried her brain and her fur began to smoke from the heat.
"My God." said another council member as Naruto disappeared in a flash of light and appeared at head height. A clawed hand came around in a swinging motion and took his head clear off straying the area with his blood.
"What the hell?" inquired Mieko as she watched her brother began in a bloody massacre of the council. "He doesn't know that justu."
"He doesn't need too." Said Minato as he kept his guard up, his son hadn't gone after him yet but he was tearing into the mass of demons killing each of them with single blows. "He is using natural lightning not chakra."
"What?" inquired Kushina
"I theorized that I could pull lightning chakra from a storm using a doomed seal and use it to enhance my lightning chakra and supercharge any justus." S tated Minato as he watched his son slaughter the demon council and move on to the mass of demons around him. "To make it even better I theorized I could put a second seal that would allow me to use my teleportation justu without seals in the area giving me free movement under the dome."
"So Naruto can do the flying thunder god technique to appear anywhere under the doom?" inquired Kushina
"Yes, but Naruto is a natural wind chakra not lightning it was never designed for someone without lightning chakra and I never finished working on it because…." Started Minato before pausing for a moment. "Because I determined that it was deadly to even attempt it. It was going to go in the forbidden justu records but I never had the time to do it officially."
"What?" inquired Kushina with fear in her voice.
"Our Son, may have just killed himself to destroy this army." answered Minato as his son ripped into the demon army gathered before him.
