"Is there anything wrong Yukina-sama?"
"Huh?" Yukina broke away from her unyielding stare of her breakfast as she prepared for a new day. Thinking quickly she smiled at the maid before shaking her head in the negative. "Nothing is wrong Saeko. I apologize I'm still sleepy is all."
"I see. Well you should relax more often. You are such an inspiration to all people in Iwa. I am so proud to have served your family all these years." Saeko smiled warmly before bowing and exiting, leaving Yukina to once again delve into her thoughts.
Hmm. Wrong indeed. What exactly happened last night? I didn't expect it for a second… was that even real or was it a dream? Is it really true that Namikaze even has that side to him?

Flashback (last night)
XXXXXXXXXX
Naruto took a deep breath. "I also spared you that day because you were and still are the most beautiful girl I had ever met."
"W-w-what?" Yukina lurched back as if struck by something. Her stomach emptied and a million thoughts buzzed in her mind as she tried to comprehend the meaning of this.
Naruto sighed as he assessed the damage done by having to let out this truth. It seems I had to divulge that too. There are no half-truths allowed either. I am compelled to be honest if called upon. What a slippery slope…
"A slippery slope indeed" Naruto mumbled under his breath. He realized the potential this fact had to change everything. The fact that somewhere, even now that he is not even fully human, Naruto finds Yukina Obunaga attractive. As if I wouldn't either way. Strength aside she is a resourceful, beautiful woman.
As if sensing Naruto's unholy thoughts of her Yukina blushes red and points accusingly at Naruto. "You were thinking perverted thoughts weren't you? You bastard I spent a week with you in a cave and slept even unprotected. What did you do to me? Am I even a virgin anymore you rapist scum!"
"Hahahahahahahaha" Naruto laugh only served to annoy Yukina further.
"What is so funny damnit? It's true isn't it? You violated me. Fuck you, you miserable bastard!" Yukina trembled as her imagination took hold of her. Her mind was speeding so fast to so many conclusions she didn't even know what she was saying exactly.
"Would you cut your rabble you petulant child? For one I would be hard pressed to do anything of the sort to you when we were in the cave for I was as injured as you. Second while I admit you are beautiful and strong I still view you as an enemy and will kill you as soon as I am able. Third I was not even thinking perverted thoughts until you brought them up which leads me to believe it was you who were thinking perverted thoughts… hentai."
Yukina recoiled again and her eyes glazed for a bit interpreting everything. With a sigh she calmed herself before remembering his last comment. Running up to Naruto's now sitting form she grabbed the scruff of his shirt with one hand and slammed him into the wall of the cell.
"I… am… not… a … pervert" Yukina huffed, each word accompanied by slamming Naruto into the wall. Naruto merely weathered the treatment with as straight a face as he could though by the end of Yukina's violent response a pained gasp escaped him.
Naruto's yelp seemed to snap Yukina out of her righteous fury as she stared at what she was doing. This is so familiar… Why is it so familiar to me? Wait a second!
Just then Yukina remembered that fateful day after she fused Naruto's chakra and how he slammed her into the wall as well garnering her to scream out in pain. I am doing to him what he did to me… I am him… He was right I am becoming a monster. Or am I already one?
She dropped Naruto unceremoniously and he landed on the cold ground in a heap. Yukina herself fell on her butt as she tried to somehow justify her actions and differentiate them with her blonde prisoner.
Listening to his pained breaths as he lay prone in his uncomfortable position Yukina resolved herself to do what was right. Slowly advancing on the wounded Konoha nin she stopped as a guttural growl escaped Naruto's throat.
"So you aren't finished yet I see? Do your worst Obunaga scum. It will take more than this to finish me." In truth Naruto was in serious trouble. The amount of damage he took from Yukina's tirade earlier in the day coupled with the continuous siphoning of his chakra and the impediment of his healing factor left him as vulnerable as any normal ninja. If Yukina continued her beating he would surely be crippled if not in mortal danger.
From his position to the ground, his forehead pressed against the cement and his right eye straining itself to stare at Yukina's moves, his one eye widened as Yukina continued her advance on him despite his warning. Naruto closed his eye and accepted his fate as he felt her presence right next to him.
So this is then? I guess I was fated to die in prison cell alone. At least I die by the hands of one of my greatest enemies… Do your worst Yuki- what?
Naruto was gently lifted and flipped so he sat on the ground, his back propped by Yukina's hand as her other worked to heal what she could.
Jeez I really did a number on him this time. I didn't think I was so strong. I mean he always heals from things like these… Oh wait Yukina's eyes widened in understanding He is not himself because of the siphoning of his chakra. He can't heal properly. This must have really hurt then
Looking back on when Naruto slammed he into the cave wall she estimated now the force she used to hurt Naruto here was probably on the same level. He didn't even make a sound until the very end… I was screaming so loud… How can a man have such a pain tolerance? What was he put through?
Deciding to voice her thoughts Yukina moved in close to Naruto's ear, her breath brushing up against his neck. "What made you the way you are… Naruto?"
Her action elicited a reaction from both Naruto and Yukina herself. Yukina blushed red again and questioned why did she make her question sound as if she was concerned. Naruto on the other hand had a completely different thought.
She used my name…
Shaking her head she was about to say forget it and leave when his strained voice resonated across the cell walls. His voice was hushed yet still authoritative, as if despite his clear weakness right now he acted infallible. Yet if you could listen to him well, one could hear Naruto's tone betray a need for acknowledgment.
"When I was five years old the instructors assigned to me by the council of Konoha were given the task to begin my resistance training. It was deemed necessary that I be able to rebuff any form of pain in order to seem invincible and in inhuman. It would serve as an intimidation factor as well as a tool to use in order to stay focused despite pain coursing through me."
Naruto took a breath and exhaled slowly, Yukina frozen on the spot as she held her breath waiting for him to continue. "I was started off with lacerations ranging in deepness. Then as soon as I could handle the pain without flinching they escalated the training to include whipping. Poisons, fire, controlled drowning, and brutal beatings followed after they deemed my pain tolerance to be suitable it was only when I was… -oof"
Naruto stiffened upon feeling a heavy weight pressing itself against him. He prepared for the next wave of assault but was shocked by what happened next.
Is she… crying?
Yukina's hot tears streamed down her face as she continued to hug Naruto, holding his form locked in place with his head on her shoulder. Naruto could not believe what he was seeing. Yukina Obunaga, the princess of Iwa and arguably his biggest enemy was showing him mercy and even… compassion?
"Why?" Naruto gargled out. "Why do you even care what happened to me? I am just a monster remember?" Naruto's question was met with a fierce shake of Yukina's head as she squeezed him even tighter.
"I know this is wrong… you are my enemy and you still are but I would never wish that upon my worst enemy… I would never wish what you had to go through as a child to anyone for anything in the world…."
Yukina pictured herself when five years old. Although she was lonely sometimes because no one her age would play with her because she had 'weird' powers she had her otou-sama and Soujiro who always loved her and gave her affection. For anyone to have to face such hatred and torture at that age, it was no wonder Naruto turned out the way he did.
Wait a minute… Naruto? Since when do I call him by his first name so casually now?
Shaking that question out of her head she focused on healing the rest of Naruto's wounds while hugging the Kyuubi jinchurikki close to her body. She completely missed the look of shock on Naruto's face as he digested Yukina's response to his question.
Such kindness… For her proclaimed nemesis no less. She actually refuses to acknowledge a difference in treating me to any other. She views my life… as any other. Is she trying to say that I'm human? Is she acknowledging me?
"Kami fuck it all." Kyuubi's voice resounded throughout his cell as he viewed Naruto's reaction to Yukina's answer. "I cannot blame you for your reaction Naruto… she is either a greater liar than that Uchiha you favor or she is genuine in her feelings. If it is the latter then she is foolish for thinking that is worthy of a weakling's logic. Yet at the same time for such a powerful fighter her kindness is unheard of. She is like that woman…
Naruto himself seemed to mirror Kyuubi's logic as he stayed silent throughout the entire process, even when he felt himself strong enough to force her off of him his hands remained stationary beside him. Even when he knew that Yukina's guard was down and it would take but a mere second to snap her neck did he do anything except sit with an unreadable expression and allow Yukina to heal him fully.
As Yukina checked Naruto's body for any other injuries she unwittingly began to check out his rippling muscles and blushed in embarrassment. You stupid fool, are you kidding me! Pull yourself together!
Leaning Naruto against the cell wall gently Yukina stood up, before buckling slightly and falling to her knees. She exhaled harshly while doing an internal check-up on herself only to realize her chakra stores were dangerously close to depleted.
How much chakra did it take to heal him! I mean I only know the mystic hand technique so the more taxing injuries needed more chakra but to think there was so much damage to be fixed is astounding. The fact he wasn't screaming in agony before is amazing in and of itself…
Yukina wiped the sweat off her brow and decided to sit for a moment and regain some chakra while also gauging Naruto's reaction to what happened between them. Staring into his down cast face Yukina sighed as she realized how pointless it all was. This was Naruto Namikaze. The strongest man in the world. A man feared by her father and everyone else that he considers in his way or otherwise. What was the point of waiting for a hum-
"Thank you."
"W-w-what?" Yukina nearly screamed out.
"Thank you" Naruto repeated his face looking up to meet hers. She gasped as their eyes locked and she saw the same sight as she did during their fight in Kikio Pass and his invasion of Iwa. It was so vulnerable… so honest… so
"human" she whispered. She eeped when she found she said that out loud and prayed it was too silent for him to hear. He gave no outward reaction so she sighed in relief before standing up with a small smile on her face.
"You're welcome… Namikaze. Don't expect me to act all friendly with you know just because I sympathized with your pathetic situation though. We are still enemies and tomorrow I will still be interrogating you so be prepared to answer my questions or face more pain got it?"
She mentally patted herself on the back for her response. That will set things into equilibrium between us.
"Understood. I wouldn't have it any other way… Yukina."
Yukina's eyes widened when she heard Naruto say her name as it was. She pushed it out of her mind though as it was starting to get light outside and she needed to leave. Giving a nod she shunshined away to her apartment before collapsing on her bed, mind reeling with activity.

"What a night indeed" Yukina whispered. For a moment that blonde Konoha bastard seemed like any other man. He even seemed completely human. But that couldn't be right since if he was indeed human then everything Yukina could not justify her hatred for him then.
For years Yukina fostered her hatred for Naruto by considering him an anomaly of nature. A demon in human skin. Something not right in the world that needed to be extinguished. She justified her Machiavellian tactics and her unyielding resolve to kill him on this fact. Yet if he was a human all this time….
"Yukina." Yukina jumped and turned sharply to face her father, the Tsuchikage.
"Oh I'm sorry for not seeing you father I was deep into thought" Yukina replied lightly. Her father seemed to give her an appraising look before nodding his head and moving closer to encompass her in a hug.
"There is no need to apologize Yuki-chan. I understand. This has been a very hectic week and this business with Namikaze is not helping. He only responds to you though so you must be the one to interrogate him. I should be the one apologizing to you." Aoshi broke from his hug and leveled a look into his only child's eyes. "If you need a vacation or time to relax then tell me and I will personally deal with Namikaze. You have done enough. I am so proud of you."
Her father's hug and confession left Yukina speechless. She was so touched by her father's compassion and love for her, both her body and heart warm from her father's actions. Suddenly a stray thought seemed to posses her.
Could this be how Naruto felt when I did this last night?
The idea was definitely plausible. By all means if the Shinigami of Konoha still possessed human emotion then his actions last night were not a ploy or act. He really did those things because he's human. Naruto Namikaze is still a human. The revelation rocked her to her core.
Could she still go through with inhuman torture on him? Maybe she should take a vacation and allow her father to handle Naruto… wait! She had to handle Naruto. He was her responsibility, she brought him to Iwa. Also Naruto would not be able to handle her father's treatment of him. He can bear great amounts of pain but his pride does not let him accept it until his body is in tatters.
He'll die…
No. I will not let that happen. There are still so many questions I have left unanswered and he has a lot of explaining to do.
Nodding to herself after deciding what she should do she looked to her father, who remained silent during her contemplation and smiled at her father.
"Don't worry about me father. I am fine. Besides no one is going to interrogate Namikaze other than me. He is my responsibility. Thank you for loving me so much." She said the last part while reaching over to hug him now. She briefly wondered if her blonde prisoner had ever experienced this feeling before but quickly pushed it out of her head. She didn't have all day to daydream. It was time to go the Interrogation department.

Utter chaos. That was the state of Konoha if anyone had happened to come across the battle scared ninja village. Bodies of fallen shinobi brethren lay on the ground, dead or close to it as the fighting raged on.
On one side were Danzo and the entire division of 'Ne,' the other was the entirety of Konoha. The battle was centered on Hokage tower, where the council was bunkered down by ANBU for their protection as the rebellion raged on.
"What exactly is going on tiger?" Himura demanded while keeping himself from falling as an earthquake caused the entire building to shake.
"Sir it seems elder Danzo and his root division are storming the tower in an effort to kill you. We know this because no other part of the village is being affected other than Hokage tower where you are located. The main contingent of forces that we have in Konoha cannot attack with their ninjutsu due to possible collateral damage as well as the fact the enemies are sticking close to the tower, using it as a way to ward off decimating attacks" the ANBU stated before disappearing to defend the building.
"God damnit… he's played his hand perfectly. If one jutsu or attack for that matter destroys this building and kills us all even if you finish off his forces then the entirety of Konoha's leadership will have been cut. Konoha would surely die off in the war with Iwa, especially since the Kyuubi is not at our disposal anymore" Koharu spat.
"Not that the bastard child would help. He always seemed to be closer to Danzo than any of us despite Danzo's treatment of him… could it be?" Hiashi gasped as he realized what this was. "Danzo's doing this because of Namikaze. He knows we sent him on a suicide mission that worked!"
"Oh fuck what are we supposed to do then. What the hell do we do?" one civilian council member asked, his voice laced with fear.
"We can't solve this diplomatically then" Himura turned to the last ANBU in the room with them. "You there what is the status of the battle? How many of the intruders have breached the building?"
His answer was met with a kunai to the throat as the ANBU took off his mask to reveal Danzo's apprentice, Sai. "Mission objective underway, isolation of the council members followed by alert of success then decimation. Prepare yourselves."
With that Sai made a handsign and the left wall of the room blew apart, revealing Danzo, and twenty other masked 'Ne' shinobi.
"Kill them" was Danzo's only reply as he stomped his cane on the ground his men attacked. While the battle was a fierce one and the twenty-two elite rebels, Danzo, and Sai included were reduced to a mere eleven the deed was done. The council of Konoha, composed of the shinobi clan heads and corrupt civilian leaders was soundly defeated with only a few shinobi clan heads alive for prisoners.
Staring down on the bound forms of Shikaku Nara, Tsume Inuzuka, and Inoichi Yamanaka, Danzo eyed the clan heads with little interest. To him they were paper tigers now. Weak and exposed and most of all subject to justice. However these clan heads also advocated for Naruto in the past and so they deserve a second chance. A second chance they will get to have.
"Shikaku, Tsume, Inoichi. Do you know why you are alive?" Danzo started while standing perfectly calm and still, his 'Ne' forces standing in attention as fighting stopped between the ninja.
"You took this tower only, focusing all attention here while at the same time using the building and what was inside as part of your tactics to mitigate the damage to a minimal, preserving life as well. You killed everyone inside this building mercilessly except for Tsume, Inoichi, and I, who also happen to be the only clan heads that have supported Naruto Namikaze in the past.
Shikaku sighed as he finished his analysis. "It seems this is a rebellion for the sake of Naruto right? You really did attach yourself to him as his master then. Hehehe your treatment of him in the council room all this time… it was an act. I should have known."
"Correct as always Shikaku this is for Naruto. Now that the dead rotting branches have been cut away once again the tree of Konoha shall stand tall. Sarutobi will return to a new Konoha once his business with the Daimyo is done. A Konoha that will welcome Naruto with open arms when he returns" finished Danzo, a smirk threatening to split his face.
"What? Naruto? But didn't Uzuki-san report him dead?" Tsume staggered while her eyes widened at the implication.
"Yes Tsume Naruto is still alive. But no he had no part in this Coup de'tat. He does not even know it is happening. We received information in root that there was a chakra source similar to Naruto's twenty miles northeast of Kikio Pass. I know he is alive. We will find him and bring him back a hero as he deserves. Until Sarutobi returns I am acting Hokage. Acknowledge the new standings and let us hear where your loyalties lie.
"My loyalty is with Konoha… Hokage –sama" Shikaku spoke, with both Tsume and Inoichi looking at him in surprise. Inoichi was the first to break his stupor and chuckle lightly.
"If Shikaku is in then I am in as well. Years of being his teammate has taught me to heed his judgment. Though you killed one of my best friends today, Shikaku winced as Chouza appeared in his mind, I am willing to accept it was for the greater good. I will acknowledge your plans Danzo.
Danzo himself nodded before turning to Tsume who looked down as if contemplating what to do. Looking up after a minute she sighed and relaxed. "I know this was inevitable somehow… call it a sixth sense or woman's intuition but I did always favor Naruto and I knew this needed to be done. Let us move forward together from here and make sure Konoha is still strong enough to win the war."
Her answer made Danzo smile as he made a motion and the three clan head's ropes were cut. "You all have gained my respect again. I am glad we may all approach the new era together let us put an end to this one-day civil war and exit together."
All three nodding Danzo walked forward outside with Inoichi, Shikaku and Tsume where at least a couple hundred ninja stood on edge of what to do.
"Shinobi of Konoha listen well for I have something I must say to you" Danzo's voice resounded throughout the area gaining everyone's attention. What has happened here is nothing more than justice being served to the corrupt in this village. It was found that most of the council of Konoha were steeped in corruption and treason in order to facilitate their own agendas and were also guilty of subjugating your fellow shinobi to suicide missions for personal gain." Spreading his arms out towards Shikaku, Inoichi, and Tsume Danzo continued, his voice increasing in volume.
"The three clan heads before you and I are what remain of the council of Konoha. We are those who have stayed true to the tree and have served it with the intention of preserving the village before personal greed and thus are the legitimate government of this village. Finally your Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had personally given me, Tsume, Inoichi and Shikaku the mission to infiltrate and destroy the council while he was away and will verify the mission in a village address once he returns from his meeting with the Daimyo. I ask you lower your weapons and accept the new order for it is the will of your hokage, your council, and of Konoha!"
Danzo's speech was beautiful. In every sense of the word thought Shikaku. The entirety of Konoha was cheering for him as he stood tall like a hero does after defeating a goliath. This is for the best though. Now all that is left is Naruto…

"Where are you Naruto-kun?" Yuugao frowned as she surveyed the location said to be where the chakra spike originated. Sitting in a lotus position, the female ANBU closed her eyes and searched for any residual chakra that resembled Naruto's. Opening here eyes suddenly she pinpointed something five miles east of her location.
Speedy towards the source she quickly came upon the scared land that was used as Deidara's and Naruto's battle ground. Touching the ground, she felt the dirt to be soft meaning this must have been done a day or two ago at most.
Naruto is out there. I know it now. But where did you go.
Remembering that the rumors of 'Kami no kiseki' and that there was another figure spotted that was shaped like a female, she once again sat in the lotus position and closed her eyes but instead of trying to find Naruto's chakra focused on the chakra source of the one woman that could probably survive a fight with Naruto.
This woman was also the one she wished more than anything wasn't involved and if luck would have it she was involved. Yuugao cursed as she identified Yukina Obunaga's chakra residual here.
"Fuck… Naruto's in Iwa. I've got to help him." Knowing that it would be too late to go back to Konoha and take help with her, disregarding the fact she doesn't even know the state of Konoha right now, Yuugao steeled her resolve and raced to the direction of Iwa.
This is for Naruto…

"We have been at it for hours now Namikaze. We want information out of you. Dates of movements in Konoha's military, outlays of premier structures, both civilian and military in Konoha, access points to Konoha that yield that greatest result with the least risk, and the list goes on. I can continue to beat the living crap out of you but that would only suit my needs. Iwa needs this and you are going to give Iwa the salvation it needs. You got it you bastard!" Yukina ended fiercely by punching the bruised and bleeding Naruto hard in the jaw, dislocating it and subsequently causing Naruto to groan in pain.
Naruto's interrogation started three hours ago, with Aoshi, Soujiro, and the entire torture and interrogation department watching, some for enjoyment in watching their hero beat the living crap out of their worst nightmare and others to analyze the living, breathing demon before them.
Aoshi himself was standing in the same spot where he situated himself at the start of the interrogation. Yukina was doing everything right. The correct escalation of pain in accordance to non-compliance, the correct barbs and orders at the right times to psychologically cripple a prisoner, everything. Yet this man, no… monster would not even crack. For three hours he has not said a single word. What resilience! What strength! What loyalty…
"Amazing" Aoshi whispered to himself but loudly enough for Soujiro to hear him.
"What is it Tsuchikage-sama? Do you mean Yukina-sama? Yes she makes quite the interrogator I dare say that some of the T & I department should emulate her work hahaha." Soujiro's light-heartened expression hardened quickly to shock at Aoshi's next words.
"No Soujiro I don't mean Yukina-chan. Though I agree she is doing excellently who I meant was amazing was in fact our prisoner" Aoshi leveled out.
"What! How could you possibly consider that bastard in anything other than contempt and disgust! He is a monster Tsuchikage-sama!" Soujiro bit back disappointed his teacher was regarding the demon with even an ounce of respect.
Aoshi's response was to spike his killer intent to an unreal level and glare at his now shocked and fearful former student. "You will do well to remember who I am Soujiro. While I regard Naruto Namikaze as an enemy he has proved himself time and again worthy of my respect as a fighter and now as a person. He has sat there and endured three hours of the worst torture from Iwa's strongest kunoichi and has not cracked once! That tells me despite his brutality and deeds against us he is a man to be respected!"
Aoshi breathed out again and smiled. "I am sorry Soujiro but the man there has a loyalty to his village and an inner, indomitable strength that I must acknowledge. I only wish we weren't enemies because I think I would have liked to meet and talk to him on more amiable terms."
After his mentor's tirade Soujiro thanked whatever power that they were alone in another room than everyone else so they didn't hear any of it. He also sobered up in his thinking of the blonde Konoha nin. While he still hated him the man did deserve respect and he will give it, although begrudgingly.
Looking out the one-way window again to observe Naruto and Yukina Soujiro could only nod. "Hai sensei. You are right. He is a man to be feared as well as respected. But he is a dead man none the less."
"I couldn't agree more" Aoshi concluded while watching Yukina reset Naruto jaw and heal it to the point he could speak.
"Now then I'll ask you again Namikaze. Will you give us the information we need or are you going to stay silent until your execution in a few days? If you talk now we can give your last days a little comfort before you enter hell for eternity" Yukina spat staring down the Kyuubi jinchurikki.
For what seemed like hours but in fact was minutes Naruto raised his head and locked eyes with Yukina for the first time in that interrogation.
Cold cerulean orbs met fiery onyx and for a moment it was as if time around them stopped. Yukina's eyes began to widen as Naruto's eyes seemed so dead and apathetic. It was as if the Naruto she encountered in his cell the night before was but a dream. This was the Naruto she always knew, the shinigami or Konoha, Second yellow flash, Naruto Namikaze the demon, a monster.
He's not the same. Somehow this seems off. This is not his true personality. This is a mask I know it. But this mask is also the one that keep Iwa children up at night. How could I break the unbreakable? The answer is… I can't… not as an interrogator.
A dark seed invaded Yukina's thinking as she thought how to manipulate the juggernaut before her. If he told her a part of his life with a hug she wondered what else he would reveal by giving him affection.
Sauntering over to Naruto, Yukina entire attitude seemed to change as she swayed her hips from side to side garnering the attention of Naruto as well as everyone watching.
"What the fuck is she doing!" Soujiro bellowed, his protective side for Yukina going on overdrive.
"She changed tactics… while this is highly unorthodox… look at Namikaze. He's actually responding to this better than anything done to him this past three hours. He's actually paying attention. Yukina probably figured that Konoha prepared his pain tolerance to be optimal but since he is who he is, affection is foreign and thus a weak point." Aoshi pointed towards Naruto and Soujiro's eyes widened as Naruto was actually looking at Yukina with a foreign look.
Yukina loosened her top a bit and leaned forward putting her face inches away from Naruto's, her bust clearly visible to him just as she wanted. She watched as his widened before glazing.
"Naruto-kun… tell me what I need to know… and I will take care of your wounds and make sure you are… satisfied before your death. I promise this as the daughter of Aoshi Nobunaga, the Tsuchikage of Iwa.
"What the fuck is she doing!" Aoshi now bellowed, the father side of him beating the living shit out of the tactician side of him. This was his daughter damn it! She was not going to use her body in that way. Not with him. Not with Iwa's greatest enemy. No bit of information was worth that.
"Well sensei it seems to me she is playing this hand well" Soujiro reasoned getting a glare out of Aoshi. Gulping he pointed outward and started again, "sensei, the Namikaze … look at him he is showing more of a reaction than I ever seen before. It seems as if he is actually weak against seduction. What a blatant weakness!"
"No Soujiro… Naruto Namikaze is not weak against seduction. We have tried that before in the past to kill him off remember? No it's worse. He's weak against seduction… when performed by my daughter."
"….."
"…."
"Well…. That sucks."
"So Naruto-kun… can I have what I need? I promise to ease your pain." Naruto stared directly at Yukina, giving her a look Yukina never saw before. It was a foreign expression on Naruto's face, as if Naruto wasn't seeing really her but rather something else. Reasoning that he was almost ready to talk she decided to put the finishing touch.
Leaning in closer she whispered so only he can hear. "Naruto-kun … I promise to give you what most."
"I promise you Naruto-kun I'll give you what you want most. I'll give you…"
Pulling his head back Naruto gave a pained yell, scaring Yukina in turn who jumped back and watched as the Shinigami of Konoha continue to scream.
"What the hell happened?" Soujiro whispered as he watched in morbid fascination as Naruto continued to scream and pull from his bonds in an attempt to get away.
"Something's wrong. Is this a defense mechanism? Either way get Yukina out of there now. This has gone on far enough."
"Hai Tsuchikage-sama," saluted as he went out to inform the guards outside to message Yukina to get out and open the door for her.
Yukina and everyone else however froze in place as they watched possibly the strongest being they ever met rip his voice out screaming in rage… and pain. For the first time ever…
What did I do to him? What the fuck did I do? I actually broke him.
The sound of creaking and then a large crack alerted Yukina to turn again to Naruto to see he was beginning to break out of his supposedly unbreakable bonds with just raw strength alone.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh! Noooooooo! Aaaaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhh!"
Naruto's mind was beginning to shatter as his greatest secret desire was brought to his head again by the awakening of his deepest, darkest memory. "Mi..." Naruto's voice cracked under his guttural pronounciation.
"Naruto-kun! Look at you you're filthy. Come here so I can clean your face."
"…Ko…"
"I'll be there for you Naruto-kun. After all I'm going to give you what you want most right?"
"…To… Arghhhh!" Naruto screamed again as repressed memories of what was once happiness ripped open.
"Fuck I knew this would happen. She even fucking looks like her. God damn it Naruto. This is why I told you to fucking get rid of your emotions! If I don't shut you down now you're going to go catatonic."
Opening his cage temporarily Kyuubi quickly raged his chakra within Naruto suppressing his host's chakra essentially possessing him. This precaution was originally meant to let Kyuubi escape if Naruto was ever killed as well as nullify any genjutsu used on him. Now it would be used to stop Naruto from killing himself.
Outside his mind Naruto exploded with Kyuubi's demonic chakra, his feral features became more defined and the pained, agonized look Naruto was just previously giving completely erased from his visage, a look of anger and annoyance replacing it.
"You stupid human bitch" Kyuubi spoke through Naruto as he broke his bonds fully and stood up to face Yukina.
"GET HER OUT OF THERE!" Aoshi yelled before rushing to go do it himself. Opening the door he entered the maelstrom of demonic chakra Naruto created to see Naruto staring at Yukina and her eyes wide in shock.
"You could not leave it alone could you? You pathetic mortal fools never know when to quit. It's bad enough you look like her. You stupid Iwa whore." Naruto/Kyuubi snarled before yelling out again.
"I swear as soon as I am free from my cage I will eat you first!" Naruto/Kyuubi then looked to Aoshi.
"Fortunately for you all that is not for some time now however if you continue your treatment of my host then I will be released in the middle of Iwa with only one thought in mind." Aoshi only nodded as if in a trance talking to one of the nine legendary bijou.
Looking back towards the speechless Yukina, Naruto/Kyuubi growled. "I will knock him unconscious now but you will deal with the ramifications of your actions… woman…"
As soon as Kyuubi said that he cut connection and shut down all f Naruto's primary functions except breathing, leaving Naruto in an unconscious state on the ground, and leaving Yukina, Aoshi and everyone else watching completely speechless.
For Aoshi and the rest their silence was fear that they may have pushed too far playing with a man some would call a natural disaster. For Yukina her silence was much more complicated.
I look like who? What is going on? What did I do? Why did Naruto go insane and Kyuubi possess him? What was that pained look for? More importantly why do I feel as if I delved into something extremely personal and why am I caring so much?
Without a word to her father or to any others she resolved her to think on this alone. Today was the only day she had hurt Naruto Namikaze. Not physically of course but truly affected him to true injury.
While she may have angered him at times and also hurt him in combat this was different. His eyes… when she saw him in his fit… They held sadness… anguish… fear. The pain was so apparent it was palpable. He was hurt greatly today. So then why didn't it feel good? Why didn't she feel like being honored for her 'success'? What was to be honored? Why was she feeling so off as she kept replaying the memory of the interrogation over and over in her head.
Why am I feeling so sorry …
