Chapter 56 The Fight in my Eye

The pounding waves that had been making the escape for the humans a struggle suddenly gave way, they waves had been waist high and sometime higher but now the surface of the lake was perfectly calm. The Rain which had been pouring down buckets on them had stopped and aside from a gentle breeze coming toward it was if they had been no storm at all. That was until they looked up and saw that the storm clouds above them was still moving and had in fact picked up force.

"What the hell is going on?" inquired Karui as she looked at the storm clouds which were now spinning above them.

"I have no idea." Admitted Kiba as suddenly they all noticed that among their little group they had lost someone. They looked back to see Sakura had stopped in the middle of the lake, like everyone else she was soaked to the bone, her cloths clung to her body and water dripped off every part of her body.

"Sakura? What the hell are you doing! We need to get moving!" inquired Ino at the top of her lungs until like everyone else they noticed that the a dome of chakra now surrounded the city they had just escaped from. The lightning which had been striking randomly in the sky and the ground was now striking a single point at the top of the dome. Even the wind and rain seamed drawn to that spot like a lightning rod of some kind. All the clouds where circling around the dome and from their distance it looked as if the storm was still raging inside it.

"What the hell?" added Temari as she like everyone else stopped and looked at dome which covered the distance city.

"Naruto-kun, what are you doing." whispered Sakura with fear gripping her heart as she looked at the distance battlefield wondering what was happening inside and to the man she loves and everyone else she cared about in the line of fire at the moment.

Inside the dome water was still coming down in a downpour turning the battlefield into a wet mess as the wind whipped through the air with almost gale force strength. The only thing missing was lightning but for most demons they had no time to consider that fact as they did battle with Naruto. Naruto was disappearing and reappearing in flashes of yellow light, he was showing no mercy and at the moment showed no control over his teleportation. Appearing almost randomly and attacking whoever was nearby with no real planning. Watching all of this was his father studying the movements trying to figure out where his son was going, he would appear behind a kitsune one time only to appear next time on top of a building with no one nearby.

"He has no control over it." said Minato as he realized that his son had no control over the dangerous justu he was now using.

"No control over it, that is bad isn't it." stated Meiko "How can we save him, you said this justu is deadly?"

"We need to get him to stop using it at the same time, we can destroy the seals and break the justu." stated Minato as he looked around him. Most of all at the chakra dome, four chakra pillars shot up and arched to a single point above their heads. The chakra columns where a darker shade of demon red then the chakra filling in the rest of the space. "We need to destroy the columns."

"Can't you just teleport there? You said Naruto can teleport anywhere in here with that justu can't you do the same?" inquired Meiko as her father shook his head.

"No, the seals will work only for him and he will have this ability until we destroy the columns." Explained Minato

"What is that?" inquired Shizune as she looked at the 4th Hokage as another demon went down nearby with a kunai sticking in his chest.

"If we break the seals at the base of the dome we stop my son's ability to use this justu." explained Minato as Shizune reached for a radio on her belt.

"We are under heavy attack, we need to take down the seals at the base of those chakra pillars do whatever you have too and hurry." ordered Shizune as Naruto appeared beside a nearby Rhyuu and ran his black clawed hand across the scale covered face of the demon. As he brought his arm back it sprayed Shizune's face with blood, the thick metallic taste was enough to realize that she needed to start taking actions. She looked across the small courtyard which was now covered with blood, there was the plant. With no warning she grabbed the beaten and bound Iruka and picked up turning him toward her.

"I am sorry." Said Shizune with tears running down her demon face, as she looked into the confused and angry face of the man she loves. Without any warning she kissed him and then shoved him forward. Iruka slid backwards across the slick paved courtyard before coming to a stop. To his credit he remained standing even with his leg injury. He look at Shizune standing there in the rain for a moment the two lovers looked at each other. "I love you, this will save you in the end."

"Iruka behind you!" yelled Anko as Iruka looked over his shoulder just in time to see a mouth full of needle like teeth come down on him. The plant lifted him off the ground and with quick movements dropped him down into the stomach of the plant which would turn him into a demon.

"What the hell Shizune don't you have more to worry about?" inquired Guy

"No." answered Shizune as she turned to two priests of the holy demon order. "Summon more plants we need to turn these people?"

"But council woman…" started a priest

"She is trying to prevent my son from freeing them and using them against us." answered Minato as he provided cover for what Shizune was actually doing. Saving her friends and loved ones in her view. That answer was enough for the priest as the began to form the hand signs to summon the plants which would turn them into demons. Minato for his part had much more to worry about as he ran toward the water's edge, as he ran he grabbed one of his special three-pronged kunai and threw it as hard as he could up into the air in the direction of the chakra pillar. He disappeared in a flash of light and reappeared in the middle of the air over the still stormy lake. In mid air he grabbed his kunai and threw it again before disappearing in a flash of light a greater distance out over the water.

Unaware that the yellow flash was coming toward them, the small band of Leaf ninjas holding back the onrushing demon tide was being forced back. They had seen the dome rising over them but it was something they didn't have time to focus on, the fight for their humanity was still raging on.

"Tenten on your right!" yelled Sai as he threw a kunai over Tenten's right shoulder striking a demon in the chest sending it backwards. He was still standing but not for much long as Sai rushed forward and hit the kunai with his fist sending the kunai in deep enough to kill the demon. The humans attempted to push forward however the oncoming tide of demons kept pushing them back.

Demons dived bombed them from above and coming at them from below, the demons started to get smart. They had been trying to take the humans straight on with hand held weapons but now they were hanging back and using justus to push them back.

"Shino get out of there!" yelled Neji, Shino followed Neji's directions and jumped away just as a whirlpool opened under him.

"Thanks." Said Shino as he jumped back landing beside Neji who was staying back more then normal directing the fight.

"Don't thank me yet." Answered Neji as his byakugan scanned the area. "We have company from all sides, I am having trouble keeping track of all of them and worse."

"What could be worse." said Fuu as she flew slightly above them, using two short swords to hold off the flying demons as best she could. She slashed at one of the demons cutting off a wing before dodging another with a spear in hand.

"We have Kiba's and Sakura's parents coming right toward us." answered Neji as a diving bombing demon came at him feet first. The wouldn't normally be bad, however the feet of said bird wing demon was covered with metal plates with spikes in them. Neji dodged just in time before using his gentle fist style on the now in range air kami, with a couple blows to the demon shutting down chakra points it fell from the sky.

"Sorry but they are demons now, we must treat them as such." stated Shino as his bugs terrorized a cat like demon. Then without warning a pair of webbed hands came up from under Shino and pulled him down.

"SHINO!" yelled Sai as Shino disappeared below the water, moments later his black traveling cloak and sunglasses came up.

"He's gone, keep fighting!" ordered Fuu as she ran through hand signs. She paused for a moment before flapping her fairy like wings sending a wave of chakra lanced wind forward cutting into a small group of demons. The attack would have been more effective however right behind them another group of demons moved forward with chakra covered shields blocking the attack.

"I see, Shino." Stated Neji

"Where is he?" inquired Sai

"About a 100 yards to west and moving away fast, some swimming demon got him." stated Neji as beside him his new wife Tenten threw a kunai above a group of demons. The demons assumed that Tenten but Neji knew better. The kunai had a small piece of paper attached to the back and when it went off it sent hundreds of smaller ninjas stars all made out of bronzes down on the expecting demons. Each bronze star which hit them burned as if a flaming arrow had hit them and there was no wooden shaft to allow them to pull the star out with ease like it would have been with an arrow.

"Fuu's right, he's gone and so will be if we don't fall back." said Tenten as they fell back once again.

Back on dry land, or as dry as it could have been considering with a driving rain Naruto's entire body was on fire, both arms and legs tingled from the lightning which coursed through his body. He was already having trouble breathing and he had lost feeling in his toes fingers, however his fingers may because he was fighting with clawed hands.

"Damn it." cursed Naruto as he kept jumping around the battlefield, he knew all this was going to happen but it didn't stop him from experience the pain which was now coursing through his body. "I have to keep going."

The good news was he was starting to a hang of this thunder god technique and the natural lightning chakra which was now coursing through each of his cells.

"NARUTO!" yelled Anko's voice as she sounded more like a civilian in danger then a well-trained battle harden ninja. He spun his head around and saw for the first time, multiple more of those demon plants had been summoned onto the battlefield.

"How did I miss that?" cursed Naruto to himself, even though he knew that he had been blinded by his blood lust and need to get revenge against what the demons had done to humanity and himself personal and his friends where paying for it. Naruto watched as Anko, Guy and every other one of the adults was swallowed by one of those plants. His eyes moved away from where his mentors and friend's parents where being swallowed to Shizune.

His eyes locked on Shizune, Shizune the traitor who designed the virus which had killed so many humans all to save demons and she was smiling. Rage filled him, as he disappeared in a flash of light and reappeared directly in front of Shizune. Her eyes widened as Naruto's clawed covered hand shot up and grabbed her by the neck, he could had sent the claws through the black and white fur covered throat of the traitor. Instead Naruto lifted her off the ground, his chakra lashing out at her burning her flesh.

"Are you pleased with yourself?" inquired Naruto as his claws dug into Shizune's flesh. "All the people you murdered, all the pain you have done to innocent people all to save yourself."

"I am sorry, but I did what I had too." Stated Shizune

"Naruto…stop this at once!" yelled his mother as Naruto turned his head slightly to look at his mother, his human image flickered a bit but not enough for his mother to see what his kitsune form really looked like. "Is any of this really worth it, all you are doing is killing people and making more orphans and destroying more families. It is time to end this to come home and make a new life, a new world."

"I know." answered Naruto with a resigned sigh as his mother's heart lifted a bit only to have it crashed down when Naruto looked back up. Fire was burning in his slighted blue eyes, "However the demon army here is responsible for all those deaths and so is she, if humanity is to fall then it will take as many of those reasonable for it down to hell."

To Naruto's amazement, Shizune started giving off a sad laugh which caused Naruto's blood to boil as his head snapped toward Shizune.

"Naruto….do you think the demons here are pure?" inquired Shizune as she shook her head as much as she could while in Naruto's clawed hand. "Most of them are ninjas of the Mist, Lightning and Leaf village. You are killing Leaf ninjas."

Naruto's blood turned to ice as he looked around at the demons really looking at them for the first time, some of them did wear modified jonin gear from each of the ninja villages. A few even had their headbands tied around their shoulders and other places, in his blood rage he never noticed. As he focused on their faces he saw a few turned ninjas that he recognized in some way.

"Brother, you have killed all but two council members I am sure that is enough vengeance." Added Meiko

"And I have the other one right here." stated Naruto as the sound of one of those plants spitting up behind him reached his ears. He paid it no attention until he heard a voice he knew all too well. It was weak but it was Iruka.

"Shizune-chan." said Iruka weakly as Naruto moved his head slightly to see a demon lying on the wet ground a few yards away, it was hard for him to see what it was but it spoke with Iruka's voice. It was weak and on the verge of passing out but he was calling out to the woman he loved. "Shizune-chan."

Naruto closed his eyes remember how Iruka had treated him like a son for a moment before tossing Shizune to the side toward Iruka, even in letting her go he didn't make it easy. He threw her with such force she bounced off the stone wall of the building behind the plant cracking it.

"I owe Iruka so much, if he can forgive you I will let you live." answered Naruto as he spat in Shizune's direction. For her part Shizune didn't care she was still bleeding from the neck wound even so she scrambled toward Iruka who was lying flat on his stomach in the rain. She flipped him over and got a good look at him, a smile on her face as she looked at him, he was a Bai Zing just like she was. His face had taken on a deer like trait with the scar which always crossed his face still visible as a deep spot in his brown fur. His antlers where small but all newly turned ones were but they would grow in time.

"Iruka-kun." Said Shizune as she looked at him, he lifted a hand up to her and looked at her. "I am so sorry, but you are safe, safe from the virus."

By now more of the people Shizune had turned where coming out, Shikamaru's parents came out as Bai Zi just like Iruka had become. Naruto for his part made no move toward anyone however he remained standing perfect still chakra dancing around him. Inoichi came out right in Naruto's view, large bird like wings coming out of his back with clawed bird like feet and feathers on the top of his head. Guy also appeared and he was the first one to raise an alarm as he came out a demon Naruto had never seen before. He looked kind of normal aside from the waist up, the issue was from the waste down he had the body of a horse.

"A Keshis, but that demon type died out." exclaimed Meiko in amazement as Anko came out and she too was different, she looked totally human only her skin had taken on a deep purple tone and she now had four arms two on each side. "An Asuras, what the fuck is going on?"

Meiko expected her mother to come down on her hard for cursing but she was too focused on Naruto who was standing still.

"We think that the longer a person is exposed to the flu the more likely the are to become an dead demon type." added one of the Priests, as they moved to cover the nude demons with towels, not that it did much in the heavy rainfall.

"Naruto…does this mean you are ready to end this and come home?" inquired Kushina with hope in her heart. "You got vengeance, you got a lot of vengeance it is time to come home, to your family."

Naruto said nothing as the demon army which he had been attacking began to move in closer. As they got closer one of the demons yelled at the top of his lungs.

"He is healing himself, he isn't surrendering!" yelled a voice as Naruto's hand dove down into his ninja tools and threw a kunai right between the byakugan eyes of the Hyuga clan member turned demon.

"Well I guess that is done with." said Naruto

Earlier out on the water things were going bad for Tenten, Neji and the others as they were forced more and more back. Like their counterparts on land they where running out of weapons, each kunai they threw each sword they dropped in the water after it broke was one lost. To make matters worse while Bronze did burn the demons each time they touched the metal. The issue was the homemade bronze weapons where physically weaker against modern factory forged combat grade steel weapons.

"Fall back!" yelled a voice from behind them as Tenten turned to see Naruto standing there.

"Naruto?" inquired Sai

"Fall back!" yelled Naruto again as he pointed toward a large group of Naruto clones holding a defense line.

"Fall back." ordered Fu as she spun two short swords around in a deadly dance. Neji was still technically in charge but he didn't fight the orders instead he fell back as well. Until they were among a handful of Naruto clones, behind them stood a few more clones separated by a wall of chakra. In the center of the wall stood three Naruto clones, two standing and the middle one a knee. The two-standing had a hand on the other kneeling on.

"What are the clones doing?" inquired Fuu as she looked at the group of Naruto's

"Channeling Chakra through them but why?" inquired Neji as he looked at the three Naruto's with his byakugan eyes. With his eyes he was able to see that the chakra network within the clones was breaking down within the clones.

"It is the only thing keeping the real Naruto alive." answered the clone "My money is right now Naruto, is standing perfectly still and using the natural chakra they built standing there holding the seal to heal himself. If he didn't then the chakra would kill him and if the seal is broken, then the justu falls and that would not be good for humanity."

"Good enough for me." Said Fuu as they looked toward the mass of demons coming toward them. "How long do we need to buy?"

"As long as we can." answered the Naruto clone as suddenly a kunai down from an angle that shouldn't have been possible. It hit the Naruto clone on one knee in the chest, for a moment nothing happened and then it exploded in a massive ball of fire which took out not only the kneeing clone but the two standing clones.

"Fuck." said the clone leader as the dome began to flicker and began to break apart. "We may have just lost everything."

"Where did that come from?" inquired another Naruto as a third Naruto blocked a kunai just in time with his own. As it began to fall toward the water, a yellow flash appeared below the cloned Naruto's defenses, he grabbed the same kunai and slashed up ending that clone. With the element of surprise, he slammed a seal on Neji who had the bad luck of being beside the clone which Minato had targeted. Neji's whole body began to shake as electricity coarse from the paper seal and caused his muscles to spasm out of control before locking up, it wasn't enough to kill but it more then enough to disable as the Hyuga male went down crashing into the water, with no chakra control he began to sink below the waves.

"NEJI!" yelled his new wife Tenten as she broke defensive formation, she grabbed him by the collar of his ninja vest and pulled him out of the water. She was so focused on saving her husband that she never saw Minato behind her with another seal. She turned around just in time to see Minato place a seal on her forehead, like Neji Tenten shook as the electric made her lose muscle control.

"DAD!" yelled one of the Naruto's clones as he moved to attack Minato only to have Minato grab the two disabled ninjas and disappeared in flash of yellow light, before the clone could reach him.

He appeared on dry land right beside his wife, he dropped the two disabled ninjas on the ground as Naruto's head spun to face him.

"What have you done." growled Naruto showing his teeth, his teeth where clearing sharpened canine teeth and the whisker marks had darkened. "

"I know the only way to make you stop is to destroy your seal and to get your friends." said Minato as he disappeared in another flash of light only to appear seconds later with a still struggling Sai in his hands.

"Well your somewhat right, but did you really think I didn't modify the seal that I was going to throw my life away like that!" snapped Naruto as Minato blinked. "The clones held all that lightning chakra and the pure power of the storm in check without it there is no control and it all gets released at once, straight down. You just made a giant Rasenshuriken."

Minato looked up toward the still flickering dome of chakra, the storm which had been powering the justu his son was using was now picking up steam and was out of control.

"Naruto stop this!" yelled Kushina

"I can't, the clones where controlling the force of nature and taking some of the damage without them it is an uncontrollable." said Naruto before laughing, before turning toward his Dad with a mocking tone in his voice. "More demons are going to be killed by you, then what I managed to do. You need to get to cover."

"Everyone get to cover!" yelled Minato as he went to grab his son only have Naruto jump back forming a hand sign as he went.

"Look after my friends." said Naruto as a dozen shadow clones appeared before the real one disappeared in a flash of light.

"Naruto!" yelled his mother only to feel a pull on her arm as one of her son's clones was dragging her toward one of the nearby stone buildings. Other clones grabbed Iruka, Guy, the other adults now demons, his friends and family carrying them toward the nearby stone structure. The clones didn't bother with anyone else, not even Shizune however she came on her own with Iruka. They dragged everyone down to the basement closing and sealing doors as they went.

Out on the water, Naruto appeared almost in the same spot where his friends had been taken by his father, only Fuu remained holding off the demons.

"Naruto what the fuck is going on?" inquired Fuu as she landed beside him, his clones taking up the fight for the moment. Above their heads and over the city the chakra lanced storm was gaining in power and intensity as the storm clouds began to spin faster and faster as it decently slowly down like an unstoppable force.

"The whole place is about to go up and we need to get as far away as possible." said Naruto as he turned and ran, Fuu didn't have to be told again as she flew begin him as fast as she could. The remaining clones stayed behind to slow down the approaching demons.

It happened in a single moment as the chakra dome gave way and so did all chakra containment as the full force of the storm was released in a single moment straight down. Wooden buildings gave way before being blown away, demons where picked up and thrown through the air like rag dolls as chakra laced wind ripped into them destroying the chakra network within them killing them. The force covered the entire city ripping everything apart.

As deep underground as they had a chance to go at the moment, the whole building was shaking as the chakra descended down upon them.

"Is this deep enough?" yelled Kushina to either her husband or the Naruto clones.

"Not sure!" yelled the clone of her son. "Dad can you transport the others out of the city, it may be their only chance. As far out as you can!"

"Alright." Said Minato as he grabbed his wife and daughter first and disappeared in a flash of light.

The three of them reappeared almost two miles outside of town on a seal Minato had placed down before entering the city. Even from here they could see the light of the descending mass of chakra as it tore the city apart and everything that got in it's way. Minato had just enough time to see the ball of descending chakra before transporting back and grabbing another pair, this time Neji and Tenten. Each time he went back to grab a pair the conditions where getting worse, finally just as the door leading to their hiding spot in the basement gave way Minato disappeared with the last couple. With that done, the clones gave up holding back the storm and let it swallow them.

"My God." exclaimed Meiko as she looked out over the destruction which was currently tearing the city apart, she could see flying demons being ripped out of the sky by the wind falling down into the now boiling lake. Swimming demons where dyeing on mass as the destruction finally began to slow down. Finally, the light began to fade and the wind began to die down just as the sun began to rise in the distance. What the light revealed was a city totally destroyed and an untold amount of dead demons lying on the ground.

Out on the water, Naruto had slammed into Fuu forcing her into the water as the chakra laced wind washed over them. Even as far out as they where from the center of the blast the water, here was hot to the point of hurting, it wasn't boiling but it was steaming. Closer toward the city, the water was boiling as the two of them broke the surface they saw demons falling out of the sky, the wind had been so strong that wings had been ripped off some of them as they fell.

"Well, that was something." Said Fuu as she used her chakra to force herself back onto the surface of the water. Naruto did the same thing both of them dripping wet as Fuu's wings re tracked back into her body and her turned back into her human form. "I would imagine everyone in there is dead."

"No, some lucky ones who made it deep underground like Kakashi made it and those who where far enough from the blast made it." Answered Naruto as they noticed some of the demons which had been chasing them over the water where still moving. None of them seamed that interested in going after them at the moment, they where too shell shocked to do anything.

"Your dad took your friends." said Fuu

"I saw, he teleported them out but I didn't see Shino." Said Naruto as he coughed up some blood, he was weak and he knew it. "What happened to him."

"He was taken earlier and…" said Fuu as she looked toward the city, the sun was just starting to come up and the once choppy waters where flat and calm just like the rest of the weather. In the distance they could see some of the larger stone or concrete buildings where ok but the rest where gone. Some of the buildings where burning and the smell of death was already reaching them.

Naruto let out a sigh and looked down at the water.

"Another life lost." Said Naruto as he mourned his friend, however he didn't have time to do much. "Neji, Tenten, Sai and the adults where all captured, the adults where already turned."

"We can expect the others to be turned soon as well." Said Fuu as she looked away from the destruction. In the distance she could see, what remained of their small band. The last bit of humanity that they knew about. They seamed about even in distance with the large island which contained the hot springs which made this place world famous. "Looks like they reached the half way point of the lake, with any luck they will make it. The question is what do we do?"

"What do you mean?" inquired Naruto as Fuu turned back toward him releasing the seal as she appeared before him in full demon form.

"You know god damn well what I meant, they know you're a demon now, the know I am a demon do you think they will trust us after we kept that form them." Inquired Fuu

"Well that kind of helps prove we are on humanity side." Stated Naruto pointing toward the destruction, not adding how he actually had very little to do with it. "And Sakura…."

"Sakura already knew about our forms, hell she slept with you after knowing about it." countered Fuu "Kind of freaky."

"Freaky this from the woman who openly admits to having three ways." Said Naruto as Fuu shrugged at the idea that it was freaky. "They are mine and your friends, lets go."

"Alright." Ordered Fuu as the two of them turned and headed after their friends.
