Noctis Eternum
Chapter Ten: The Unexpected Threat
Author Notes: So here's the next chapter. I hope everyone enjoys the read.
Naruto cursed as white hot flames seared his arm. Narrowly avoiding a gruesome death he flew to the left. A golden scaled arm crashed through his previous position. "This isn't working Fu!"
"I know that!" Fu yelled.
The two were currently flying around the dragon peppering it with high ranked jutu to zero affect. By now their henges had dispelled revealing their true identities, but that wasn't really a priority for them at the moment.
The dragon roared sending them both hurtling to the ground. "ARGHHH" Naruto crashed through the palace roof and into the throne room. Fu landed beside him with a yelp. He attempted to move his arms but hissed as white hot agony flared. With weary eyes he scanned his surroundings seeing Fu groaning but alive. He grimaced knowing it would take minutes for her to recover, minutes they did not have.
Fu looked up at him with pain, "Looks like things aren't as easy as I thought."
He chuckled despite the grim situation, "You took the words right out of my mouth." Fu perked up and pulled herself upright, "Cover me for a little bit, I can unleash my Bijuu and waste this guy once I recover."
"Easy, leave that oversized lizard to me." He said giving his signature smirk. Moving to leave Naruto stopped when a shiver went up his spine. "Ahahahahaha"
Both of them went stiff feeling terror creep up their spines. A feeling of doom imposed itself upon their minds; visions of their deaths began to play out before them. Naruto screamed as Snakes began to creep up his extremities, binding him and slowly strangling him to death.
Paralyzed, Naruto and Fu watched helplessly as the earth Daimyo approached them licking his lips with an unnaturally long tong. "My my, what a surprise." The man said in a familiar silky voice that promised untold horrors.
Naruto croaked, "W-who?"
The man smiled, though it did little to calm Naruto. "I am none other than the great Orochimaru of the Sannin. " The man took hold of his face and peeled it away.
As the flesh gave way revealing the man's true face Naruto realized he was in deep shit. Facing a Sannin while weakened and with Fu down was suicide. "Looking for a way out?" The man chuckled seeing his prey frantically looking for possible exits.
Naruto swallowed. His odds were very slim right now. The Snake sannin approached them disregarding his old clothes in favor of his familiar Oto outfit. Suddenly the ceiling collapsed as a golden dragon caved the roof in. The Snake Sannin looked up as Itsugawa roared at the Sannin and the disregarded flesh mask on the floor. "You..." The dragon glared.
Fu watched helpless as her broken ribs slowly healed. She turned her head over to Naruto hoping the dragon could hold the evil snake man off. She only needed a little more time!
"What have you done to the daimyo Snake!" The dragons roar shook the ground and caused more of the ceiling to come falling down in large rocky chunks.
Orochimaru merely shrugged, "Well...as you can see he's dead. I played you lot like a puppet, and it was so easy acquiring new research material."
Itsugawa stopped. The dragon thought back to the times the daimyo would take in young orphans that showed promise. He had been told they were merely being apprenticed to the guardian twelve and the ones that failed to live to expectations were sent to an orphanage, but was that true?
Orochimaru smiled sickly seeing the dawning comprehension and horror on his former subordinates face. "Yes...those children you dotted on so much are now in my laboratory's; they serve a higher purpose now."
"You...YOU MONSTER!" The golden dragon screamed, throwing itself at the Snake Sannin. Orochimaru hacked and coughed as a snake grew out of his throat and expelled a sword. The kusanagi gleamed in the sunlight, giving off a sickly sheen. Orochimaru grasped the blade and Lightning natured chakra covered the blade.
"Do you think I will let that puny blade reach me?" The dragon cackled.
Orochimaru merely held out the sword and pointed it to the sky. Then, it happened.
Naruto watched awestruck as the blade elongated hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye. With the sound of a thunder crack the legendary sword pierced through the dragons head like butter, before the blade retracted just as quickly. The dragon listed for a moment before falling from the sky with a loud crash.
Fu peered over to the dead dragon in fright. What power! 'I need your strength Chomei!' Fu thought.
Chomei replied, "use the version 2 cloak and finish the Sannin off quickly. We don't know how powerful he is."
Fu was covered in a seven tailed cloak of boiling red chakra. "It's time for an ass kicking Pale face!" Fu yelled.
Naruto took a deep breath. It was going to be ok. With Fu's full power even he did not stand a chance. The young girl had full control over her Bijuu. While at three tails she could stand toe to toe with his gray chakra cloak, at seven tails she cleanly moped the floor with him. The snake Sannin was toast.
Naruto turned his attention to the idle Snake sannin and felt his confidence shrink drastically. The man looked deeply satisfied, as if he had just won the jackpot. Fu prepared to rush forward when she stumbled.
"What?" The lime haired girl trembled and fell on her knees. Her cloak disappeared and the feeling of terror had returned. A seal on the floor lit up sucking all of Fu's chakra away. The snake sannin grinned malevolently.
Running to his girlfriends aid he grabbed her by the shoulder and began to pull her away, until a fist sunk into his solar plexus. Spittle flew as the Snake Sannin repeatedly pummeled his gut with a combo of fast strikes before ending with a spinning kick. He dropped to the ground barely able to move. Naruto watched helpless agony as the seal sucked his chakra away.
Slowly Naruto all hope began to fade the realization dawned on him that no help was coming. Oto Jounin skulked out from the shadows in the hundreds. Monstrosities and bloodthirsty freaks alike slowly crawled from hidden hatch's. A thumping sound soon broke Naruto out from his trance. He looked over to the body of a fallen soldier and his mouth dropped. The thousands of dead men he and Fu had just killed were spasming and groaning unholy shrieks as the men, if you could still call them that shambled to their feet and in some cases crawled on what remained of themselves. The still living screamed and ran from the undead as they mindlessly began to devour those in sight.
"I can tell you disapprove?" The man gestured to the ghouls now feasting on the still living city guards. The men's screams haunted Naruto as they were eaten alive by their former friends.
"You're a freak, a monster." Naruto choked out.
"Come now... They may be nothing more than fodder but they serve their purpose. Not even the dead can escape me now." Naruto glared daggers at the man, no, devil who caused all this. 'It can't end like this.' He thought.
Orochimaru cackled as the light in Naruto's eyes began to face, "You know, you are my greatest achievement Naruto." Orochimaru said in faux joy.
Naruto spit a glob of blood at the Snake Sannins feet and sent the strongest glare possible from his position on the floor, "How do you know me?" He might be afraid, but like hell he would die here sniveling at this monsters feet.
The man's smile which seemed all too fake widened, "I was there the night your dear Yondaime used you as a sacrifice for his Master plan, the one he hides even from his closest friends. "
Naruto blinked, "Are you talking about the kyuubi? I know about that already."
The man shook his head to Naruto's confusion, "No, haven't you noticed something odd about your chakra? That cloak of gray chakra that covers you so similar to the Jinchuuriki girl."
It all fell into place. The weird bloodline. The way the chakra formed a tailless cloak of cold malice. His ability to keep up with a Jinchuuriki despite receiving zero help from the Kyuubi. Serpentine eyes curled in delight seeing its prey finally understand. "What did he do to me" Naruto asked in despair.
"On the night of the Kyuubi sealing the Yondaime used the Dead Demon consuming seal, which demands the soul of the caster as payment." Naruto knew this from the forbidden scroll Tobi had stolen. If that seal had been used it should be impossible for the Yondaime to be alive, so then how did he live that fateful night?"
"On that night the Yondaime used an even more forbidden dark art to circumvent the consequences of the seal. Afterwards I was given the pleasure of experimenting on your body before that thrice damned Sandaime ran me and the Yondaime out. In a manner of speaking your chakra is the stabilizing agent he needs."
Orochimaru kneeled by the blonde admiring his former specimen's body. Naruto shivered as the man ran his hands along his cheek in a way not unlike that of a lover, he shied away from the repulsive mans presence, "You experimented on me, you're nothing but a sick monster just like everyone said."
Fu glared in hate as the snake Sannin searched her boyfriends body with analytical skill, she was going to kill this pale ass freak the second she was free. Mere moments ago she had trembled before the pale mans power, but no one hurt her Naruto and lived!
"Fu this seal will take hours to break. You must escape!" Chomei said urgently.
'Hell no! I won't leave Naruto.' She would sooner die then abandon the boy she loved with all her heart.
Orochimaru pulled Naruto up from the floor. The boy had exhausted himself trying to resist the all encompassing despair that the Sannin inflicted upon him. Orochimaru pulled his head up so that their eyes met. "Tell me boy do you know how little of your potential is being realized?"
No response.
The Snake Sannin continued anyway, " I can show you power unlike anything you have seen. Join me and I will unlock your true potential!"
Naruto grimaced in disgust. "I would never betray my friends for power. That's Sasuke's thing. " He spat in Orochimaru's face. The snake sannin's smile turned into a frown.
"I can see you need more convincing...I will unlock your true power. Perhaps that will show you that I am your only path to salvation." The snake sannin's eyes shifted into a red pinwheel. Naruto felt his heart stop for a moment.
"Sharingan Genjutsu: Hell's Viewing" Orochimaru spoke in evil glee. Naruto screamed as he began to relive his worst memories.
Flashback to Night of Imprisonment. Warning Skip to bold text if easily disturbed.
He waited inside the integration room as Ibiki walked inside. The man had a cart full of his favorite toys. The man's assistants stepped inside. Naruto blanched at the array of sharp instruments and tools arrayed on the cart. Sweat began to trickle down his brow.
Ibiki's gaunt smile stretched his face like a horrendous marionette. "Well hello there Gaki. I remember how you embarrassed me during the chunnin exams with that little pep talk."
Ibiki licked his chapped lips with a bittersweet laugh, "Not so high and mighty now huh?"
Naruto gulped. Ibiki dragged a little boy around nine years of age inside the room. The scarred man giggled at whatever sick plan he had concocted inside his head, "The Hokage hasn't given me permission to take the kids gloves off, so I'm going to show you what we do to little bitch's in here" The man fondled the boy in an indecent manner.
Naruto's fear was overcome with rage, "What the fuck are you doing you animal!" he screamed.
Ibiki's assistants inside the room shuffled around nervously, "Do you think he's lost it man?" One of the assistants asked the other. Ibiki did not notice his subordinates glancing at him with fear.
Ibiki laughed, "I took this little cunt off the streets. He's an orphan like you and won't be missed. I'll show you exactly what I'll do to you once I get the Hokage's permission."
Naruto struggled vainly in his chains. He began thrashing against his restraints. Ibiki took pleasure in seeing the boy struggle, "You know what's funny?"
Naruto stopped struggling so he could hear the sadistic integrator. Ibiki smirked seeing he had Naruto's attention, "Your own little grand pappy had no clue what's been going on in his own village. The old bastard never bothered leaving his ivory tower and learn about the real working of the village in the last few years. The yondaime has been pulling the wool over his eyes for so long."
Naruto's eyes widened, 'That's a lie! Jiji would never fall for something like that you bastard!" He screamed.
Ibiki giggled and hit Naruto on the side with an iron bar. Naruto cried out and he felt one of his ribs crack. Ibiki giggles soon turned into fool blown laughter, "The old fool was easily kept placated by Jiraiya who volunteered to take the paper load off the man in his old age. Sarutobi was only too eager to pass on the buck in his senile old age."
Naruto growled, "You bastards... how could you?" Naruto whispered.
"That's easy. The Sandaime outlived his era. This is the era of the Yondaime. Old relics should go in the corner and rot where they belong."
Naruto punched the wall in anger. Ibiki smiled seeing he had made the blond mad. He decided to go on, "You want to know something else about this little village you love." Ibiki said with a smirk.
Naruto nodded hesitantly. Ibiki kneeled in front of Naruto, "I've never told this to anyone because I have never met such a self righteous prick like you. This village has many dark secrets." Ibiki waved over to the young child one of his greasy overweight assistants held.
"I am officially the head of torture and integration. Unofficially I am the Yondaimes chief enforcer. I take care of the Yondaimes dirty work and he overlooks my little side business." Ibiki said scandalously.
Naruto glared, "What little side business are you talking about? And what would a hero like the Yondaime want with a scumbag like you?"
Ibiki punched Naruto in the face for that little comment. Naruto turned to face Ibiki and spit in his face. Ibiki showed Naruto his teeth, "That would be telling, brat. I won't reveal my masters secrets. I can however tell you about my little side project."
Naruto did not like the bat shit insane grin on Ibiki's face. The scarred man started laughing hysterically, "I also work for the Civilian council for a side profit. My most prominent client is that bitch Haruno. Many in the upper echelons in our little society we call Konoha like slaves. Usually sex slaves, and they like them young. I of course offer them premium little sex slaves."
Naruto's eyes widened in horror at what Ibiki was hinting at. Ibiki grinned, "Yes I take little bitch's like the one you see here from the street. Orphans won't be missed and of course it's all covered up. They run away all the time. I myself think this is better for them."
Naruto screamed in rage, "You motherfucker!" The Kyuubi's chakra flared before being suppressed by his chains. "How could you do this. Are you even human.!"
Ibiki grabbed the young child he had by the neck, "Little shits like this are nothing more than a pound of flesh. Worth only by the amount they weigh. I have hundreds of merchandise like this locked up and for sale at any moment."
Ibiki waved his finger at Naruto's withering glare, 'Now, now, don't mock me. This is a good job. I can do whatever I want. Now it's time for me to show you what I do to little bitch's."
Ibiki waved to the greasy butchers near the door and they disappeared. Naruto was fearing for the child before him when something unexpected happened. The butchers brought in two tied up adults. Ibiki waved to the tied up pair with an insane smile, "Hello bait, I have your little shit of a kid here." Ibiki pointed to the child in his arms.
Naruto snarled, "I thought you said you only kidnapped orphans off the street."
A cruel smirk appeared on Ibiki's face, "I usually do. However I will make you my masterpiece, Naruto Uzumaki. I will make you suffer unlike anyone I have ever tortured before. I won't just make you bleed. I will make you wish you were never born."
Ibiki peered at the tied up parents with crazed eyes, "Take the tape off their mouths and take the child to the backroom. Start in about a minute or two."
One of the greasy overweight butcher's took the little child to a room only ten feet away. Ibiki ripped off the tape from the parent's mouth's.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing you sick bastard." Yelled the father.
Ibiki smiled, "I am bringing this young man closer to god." Ibiki pointed to Naruto with dreamy bliss.
The mother pleaded to let them go. Ibiki giggled uncontrolably and kicked the mother in the face. Her head snapped back and she laid there whimpering. Naruto hated this monster. He swore when he got out he would kill this sick freak.
Ibiki took out a watch and smiled, "And it starts."
Shrill screams rose from the other room and the parent's panicked. "Please stop!" The parents screamed and begged.
Ibiki laughed insanely, "If you want it to stop you must convince this Gaki to chew off his fingers." Ibiki said pointing at Naruto.
Naruto felt sick and numb. Nothing seemed real anymore. He forced himself to forget what was happening around him. 'This can't be real. This is inhuman. Monsters...all of them.'
"It ca-can't b-be re-real!"
"It can't be real."
"It can't be real."
"It can't be real."
Naruto went into his own little world to shield himself from the pain. The parent's begged and screamed at Naruto as their child was tortured in the next room. Ibiki's evil laugh haunted him.
Back to the Real World
Fu flinched as Naruto shrieked. "ARHGHGHHHGHH!"
Hot tears dripped down her face seeing Naruto scream himself hoarse. She shut her eyes trying to block the sounds out. After several moments the screams stopped. Fu opened her eyes seeing a tired Naruto glaring defiantly at an amused Orochimaru.
Naruto snarled, "You bastard. I won't forgive you!"
He decided to forgo all self preservation and scourged his remaining chakra. He charged an Oodama Rasengan in his right hand. The sphere kept growing until was so large it could encompass a boss summon. Fu paled at the sight and crawled away as Naruto slammed the Rasengan into the Snake Sannin with animal ferocity.
The explosion blew away the entire daimyo's palace and the surrounding area in a gigantic boom. Naruto roared and ground the Rasengan into the palace floor with an explosion. The ground collapsed into a cavern below and everyone fell inside.
Fu choked on dust as bubbling red chakra protected her battered form. 'If that seal hadn't been destroyed just a moment before I was hit...'
Fu gaped at the damage Naruto caused with that one Jutsu. 'I never Imagined he was so powerful. He truly is special'
Naruto touched down in a rocky cavern as alarms blared. He looked around angrily noticing he was in some sort of secret underground facility. 'This must be where that bastard does his sick experiments.' He now stood in a long winded corridor with over six hundred Ninja surrounding him. The Ninja sported Oto headbands. Orochimaru stood at the back of the group with Kabuto and a purple haired woman.
The purple haired woman had her hair tied in a topknot and wore the Oto Jounin uniform. She flashed a cocky grin as she stepped forward. "Let me handle this Orochimaru-Sama"
Orochimaru waved to the new arrival. The woman stepped forward to meet Naruto with a bloodthirsty grin. Naruto glared at the woman with rage seeing another of the snakes subordinates, "Who the fuck are you?!"
Guren sneered, "I am Orochimaru-Sama's greatest disciple, my name is Guren, and you are dead meat punk."
"Show me your power Naruto-Kun" The man whispered.
"What is a kid doing here? And where is the bastard who blew our base wide open." Asked one of the oto Jounin. Apparently not all of the Oto Shinobi had gotten the memo, as only a few above had survived the explosion. These were the ones running this sick facility.
Blood dripped from Naruto's fists. He was tired of being underestimated and used. Seeing these freaks mocking him...He would not stand for it!
Naruto's eyes golden eyes darkened as he remembered all the fucking jokes. When he saw the Oto Jounin's mocking smile he briefly had visions of the citizens of Konohagakure. The spiteful looks. The mocking smiles and glares."
The Jounin stepped back in fear when he at Naruto's eyes. Bloodlust and malice reflected in those Dark gold Iris's. The men around him stepped back warily and gripped their weapons tightly.
Fu carefully hid behind a broken pillar. She looked at Naruto with worry and bit her lip. 'I can't interfere. I'm too injured. I love you Naruto, go get em.'
"What the fuck is he?", "This killing intent isn't human..." Some of the Oto grunt's whispered. They feared him and he drunk in their fear with glee.
Naruto sent Orochimaru a deathly glare, "I hope you're ready to die Snake, because I'm done being everyone's bitch" He said with finality.
The Snake looked at Naruto with a bat shit insane grin, "Show me your power Naruto, show me the power of my greatest achievement!"
Naruto's golden eyes shined bright, "I've had enough of monsters running unchecked. Never Again! Never again! NEVER AGAIN!" He screamed.
With each scream the Shinobi surrounding him cowered backwards. The killing intent spiked to unreal levels and they struggled to breathe. Gurens eyes bulged as she looked at the demon before them.
Naruto harnessed his rage and the grayish glow surrounding him turned a malevolent black. The room dropped over a hundred degrees and the men inside the room trembled.
Fu who was watching the spectacle with shock. 'This can't be Naruto. My Naruto isn't like this.' She thought frightened.
Naruto screamed as black and ghoulish chakra covered him. He felt great, no, he felt GODLY! The Kyuubi stirred from its deep slumber inside the seal as it felt chakra more sinister then it's own.
The Kyuubi looked around the blackening Cage with contempt, "This chakra...You damn ningen's don't know what you have unleashed!" it roared.
On the outside world thousands of soldiers, monstrosities and undead from the gigantic complex ran to assist their ground forces in the main chamber. Over four hundred Oto Jounin, one thousand Chunin, and three thousand undead and monster soldiers stared at the spectacle happening with fear.
Naruto screamed in ecstasy as the chakra rebuilt him. He felt it change him, rebuild him, improve him. The ground around him shattered and the room darkened. Shadows twisted and slithered, those who stood too to the shadows simply vanished. The Shinobi that were closest to him felt like a demon from hell stood before them.
Orochimaru basked in the presence, "Oh how long I waited for this..."
Fu was deeply disturbed as she hid, 'Naruto don't lose yourself. I believe in you my beloved Kitsune'
The evil chakra stopping swirling and his form was revealed. Naruto stood in place with a grin, except this grin promised pain. His sclera was blackened with dark slits for pupils and glowing gold iris's. Black flames covered him entirely in a cloak.(KCM mode, except black)
Fu beheld his form with baited breath. Her lips trembled as she sensed the most malevolent chakra she had ever felt. The chakra was evil incarnate. It was as black as the deepest pit of hell. Simply being near it was almost corrupting. Every dark thing she had ever done was brought to the fore front of her mind and attempted to devourer her sanity.
Naruto stood in the same spot looking at the men with glowing slitted eyes. He held nothing but apathy for those before him. The men around him trembled and pissed themself at his oppressive power. It was like an invisible hand was crushing them. Guren looked at Naruto with a maddened gaze, "You're a freak! A monster! NO A DEMON!"
Naruto looked at them with narrowed eyes. To the men before him his form burned with flames from hell, and his eerie glowing stare pierced their souls. Naruto's very form embodied death.
Evil and madness invaded their minds. The men screamed in fear and brandished weapons. They charged recklessly at Naruto. He gazed at them like they were beneath his notice, "Evil bequeaths evil. Reap your rewards in hell" he said coldly.
In a black flash he disappeared and started slaughtering the crazed men. Like a river of death he overwhelmed them. Each flash he killed. He flashed before an Oto jounin and with a swipe of his hand he bisected him cleanly through. His eyes held nothing but cold rage.
The men screamed as they were slaughtered in mere seconds. Like the yellow flash himself he flickered in and out of existence. Hundreds of men were reduced to red mist as Naruto teleported to each and every man in a black flash. He flashed in front of Guren and stopped moving. The woman stared into the abyss that was the blonds eyes, and the abyss stared back.
Guren screamed and clawed at her eyes. She tore swath's of skin from her face and started writhing on the ground. Hoarse screams emanated out of the woman's throat as she ripped her own eyes out and crushed them. "It's inside me! Make it stop!" The agony would not end and the crazed woman slit her throat with a kunai.
Fu was trembling in horror as she watched her Naruto ruthlessly slaughter hundreds of Jounin level opponents in mere seconds. She hesitantly got out from behind the Pillar and approached Naruto. The thousands of soldiers and fiendish abominations that stood between them parted like a river, afraid of incurring the blondes wrath.
Naruto glanced at her, "I showed the woman her own vile deeds. I made her relive every evil act she had ever done." He said pointing at the purple haired commander.
Fu almost vomited at the sheer carnage before her. Blood covered the floor, walls, and even the ceiling. Men lay dead in various positions; most were fleeing as they were cut down. She was no stranger to death, far from it, but the sheer brutality had taken her aback.
The black cloak flickered out and Naruto dropped to one knee. His eyes returned to normal and the evil aura disappeared. She ran to him and cried, "I was so worried about you. Don't you ever do that again you hear?" She said sobbing.
He trembled, "Dear kami what have I done?"
He starred at his bloody hands, "I just... felt so angry. These men killed so many people without batting an eye. I...I just couldn't handle it. I lost it and then the power...oh god the power."
Fu looked at him distressed, "It was the most vile chakra I've ever felt...for a second I was afraid I lost you." She sobbed.
He hugged her Tightly, "It's ok. I promised I would never leave you. I love you Fu and I would never hurt you." He said lovingly.
Fu snuggled into his chest. Naruto knew he had scared Fu badly and felt guilty. 'Still...what is this power?' He thought.
He felt changed. His chakra was now night black instead of blue. He felt stronger physically and mentally. He felt ten times better than before. He held Fu warmly, "Don't worry Fu. I will never make you feel like that again."
Fu wiped away her tears, "You better."
Naruto smiled somberly, "If there's anything Orochimaru showed me in that vision it was that I need to bring monsters like him and Konoha to justice. Pein-Sensei taught me that Akatsuki bring divine justice to evil doers like these men, and I intend on fulfilling that role."
"What a charming scene." A voice spoke.
Naruto glanced around remembering they still had thousands of enemies to deal with. He looked around seeing he had taken out their best. He spotted thousands of grunts and undead littering the area around them and above them. Thousands of ghouls were shambling above the cavern waiting for them to emerge if they managed to finish off the forces inside.
He caught a fist aimed at his face without looking. He turned towards the silver haired Oto nin. He recognized this person.
Kabuto glowered as this seeming kid looking at him like he was nothing. Naruto eyed him with apathy, "Kabuto, it's been awhile. I realize now you were right, I was naive to think I could bring back Sasuke. Monsters like you are beyond redemption. I realize now that only those with power can carry out justice in this world. I will bring justice to those that commit evil."
Naruto's hand closed painfully around Kabuto's fist. Kabuto jerked his hand back and shunshined to gain some distance. "I can see you have improved Naruto, but that won't save you from our army." The man taunted.
Naruto peered at the freaks before him. Thousands of leering eyes looked at him with malice.
Oroachimaru smirked at the battle unfolding and held a hand sign. He grit his teeth as he used his chakra to control the veritable army of abominations. They howled and roared incoherently. Naruto looked disgusted, "You took away their free will? You lot are truly irredeemable."
Kabuto cackled, "Morality is only an illusion. I couldn't expect a brat like you to understand Orochimaru-Sama's great vision."
He did not respond. He only activated his new chakra cloak. Whatever retort Kabuto was about to spew died as he felt the sinister chakra. 'Impossible. He was exhausted mere moments ago, did he recover already?' He thought frightened.
This time when he formed the cloak he fought against those evil desires that welled up from deep within. He grunted as his power fought against him before it slowly stabilized. Settling down his new cloak radiated a sense of sinister intent, but not beyond the level of a one tailed bijuu cloak.
Naruto instantly held out his hand and dark chakra bubbled and formed a sword purely from Yin chakra manipulation. The sword hissed and blazed in his grasp. It was very much like Fu's own, except this sword was formed from the collected evil chakra inside Naruto. The blade's scabbard black as night and it's hilt formed from white human bone with a skull at the butt of the hilt.
The soldiers and undead charged at him. Slowly he drew the blade. Light reflected off the blood red crimson blade. He dashed at incomprehensible speeds and saw his first target. The abomination was a mutated man in his middle ages with a grossly deformed claw for an arm. The man was clearly insane from the experiments conducted on him. He wanted to think of them as monsters, but he knew if he did it would just devalue human life. He would not become the very thing he sought to destroy. If Orochimaru's genjutsu showed him anything it was that he wanted to be the opposite of everything Konoha sought to make him.
He appeared before the man and punched him so hard the man's upper torso exploded from his lower half. He appeared before the next one before even one tenth of a second had passed. So fast had he moved that he appeared as a black flash to those below Kage level. He sliced the next one in half with his sword and the two half's sizzled away from his chakra. He spotted the next one and flashed before him.
The man did not get a chance to defend himself as Naruto grasped his arm and tugged. The arm ripped free without resistance and he speared the man though the head. 'Man I'm so strong in this form...' Naruto thought.
He flashed away as giant crystals exploded from his previous position. He jumped onto the ceiling as the crystals and soldiers raced after him. He glanced down below seeing an undead Guren performing Jutu. The woman was clearly decreased with purple ashen skin, but her body sluggishly performed jutsu at her dark masters command. "Die..." Her voice came out like a distorted recording, making Naruto flinch.
"Crystal Release: World of Entombment" Gigantic crystalline walls boxed Naruto in from all side as countless undead guards rushed him with spears and swords. Some of the living Chunin and surviving Jounin launched fire jutsu trying to asphyxiate him by cutting off his oxygen.
He went through hand seals as knowledge flooded into his head. "Evil Release: Respira" Purplish-Black miasma formed from his cloak and headed towards the incoming enemies.
They did not have a chance to dodge as the miasma covered them. Hundreds of Chunin and undead guards screamed and flailed as it rotted them. The crystal's heading towards him turned to dust and the men dropped one by one. The walls surrounding him crumbled into dust.
The revived Guren's mouth dropped in awe as her fodder were devoured by some sort of purple-black mist. The miasma dispersed and Naruto stood before her. One thousand enemies lay dead before him and only Guren's barrier of Crystal had saved her.
Guren trembled as Naruto's otherworldly eyes beheld her and found her lacking. "Mercy" Her voice came out garbled and distorted. It happened faster than a blink to her. Naruto suddenly had his fist wrapped tightly around her neck. He glared into her eyeless sockets, "It's not so fun when you're on the receiving end is it?"
Guren choked in response and he went on, "Monsters like you never think about the innocents you hurt." His eyes darkened, 'You never think about the children you Orphan or the families you leave devastated. The innocents suffer because people like you have power and the people who deserve power are helpless."
Guren glared into his eyes and tried to looked defiant, "...Orochimaru-Sama will kill you boy..." She rasped weakly.
He looked at her with fury, "I will bring this world towards peace...and it starts here." he tightened his grip and simply snapped her neck. He dropped the body and stared at his massacre.
Fu watched in silence as the last enemy fell. Only Orochimaru and Kabuto remained. The former of the two surveyed the carnage around them with mirth, "I did not expect any less from my greatest work. It's a shame that I didn't have more time to work on you since that blasted Sandaime chased me out before I could perfect you."
Naruto scoffed from the lake of blood and death dozens of meters below, "I've had enough of your bullshit. It's time to die."
Orochimaru shook his head in exasperation, "I'm afraid I have no intention of fighting you as you are now, as I would surely lose. I am afraid we must part ways for now dear Naruto-Kun."
"Like hell you will!" A rasengan-Flail swung at the snakes position before the man and his second in command dispersed in a poof. Naruto's eyes shrunk as he realized he had been had. "Fuck! They were shadow clones!"
Fu approached a fuming Naruto and slapped him, "Snap out of it!"
Naruto twitched. He looked around seeing the countless dead. Mutilated bodies and innards floated in a gut churning lake of blood that filled the palace sized crater. There must have been upward of seven thousand corpses inside the pit and the former palace. "Wow"
Fu looked at him worried, "Are you going to be ok?"
He looked back at her tiredly, "I think so, whatever that monster did to me must have made my bloodline evolve."
"huh" Maybe he was right? ,"It looked almost as powerful as my seven-tailed cloak" She said in awe. Naruto blushed a bit. How could you not when such a beautiful girl complemented you?
"Do you have a name for it?"She asked.
A name? He never really thought too deeply into such things, but he supposed it would be proper to name such an ability. "What about...Cloak of Darkness, and the bloodline could be called Evil Release?"
Fu hummed in thought. "It sounds fitting. It looks like you have an official bloodline."
Naruto umpfed as Fu ploughed into him with a hug. He laughed as the petite girl squeezed him so hard he feared he would pop. He was fairly certain the tan girl was suffocating him far harder than any of the monsters he had slain could.
'You ningen and your relationships...'
His heart stopped briefly. 'Who's there?'
A pregnant pause before the voice replied, "Why my dear tenant I'm hurt you don't recognize the great Kyuubi." The voice spoke in a deep baritone.
Worry crept up like a worm through his stomach. Was the seal weakening? How was the demon talking to him? "If you're wondering, The seal weakened when that sinister chakra began to manifest. Do not worry though." The kyuubi explained.
'Why should I not worry when I have a demon talking to me freely in my head?' He replied.
Kyuubi smirked, "Quite simple ningen. The one who put me inside your pathetic body isn't going to simply let you live you life in peace. I want the Yondaime dead just as much as you, so how about we strike a deal that might benefit us both?"
This piqued Naruto's interest. 'I'm listening.'
The Kyuubi's face stretched into a feral grin. Perhaps there was a chance thing's could go in its favor after all.
