RSfan - Not exacley, when you think about it, the country has been invaded and occupied by the night country before she was even born, she had no real ties or loyalties to the leaf, yes, her mother had told her about her father, but Toshiro is also a night ninja, and she looks up to him, almost like a big brother, were as she has no reason to join the resistance, or any of the other hidden villages, so its only logical for her to join the night ninja's and be with Toshiro, the one she respects the most :) I hope you enjoy chapter 31, thanks for the review, you always bring good things to the table :)
This chapter was revised on May 31th 2017. Most grammar errors should have been addressed (Hopefully :P) I did a few enhancements and changed a few things around but the story remained unchanged
Saving old bonds
Chapter 31 (Revised)
Naoto was running as fast as she could. She didn't care where she was going as long as it was away from the pain and the lies "I hate them, I hate them all! How could they lie to me like that, specially mom and Toshiro" she said as her eyes were tearing up
Meanwhile, back with the guys, there was an awkward silence. Toshiro knew that he was partly the cause of it. He was a night ninja among a group of resistance members. This continued for well over ten minutes. Itachi was staring in the direction Naoto took off, he suddenly took out a scroll from his vest and opened it up "This isn't good…" he simply said
"What?" Sasuke asked him
"We are on the edge of the borders; we are still in night country controlled territory that use to belong to the grass but to the north of here is earth country"
Toshiro suddenly became pale
"What? What's wrong? Are the Night and earth at war?" Naruto asked
"No…They are neutral however, they have warned us that if any night ninja were to cross into their territory they would be captured on the spot to be tortured for information then executed"
"WHAT?! How can your Kurokage do nothing about that?" Naruto shouted
"Keeping the fire nation in check as well as keeping the sand from invading has kept our forces tied up. We can't afford to be at war with another major power. That's why we were ordered never to cross into their borders to minimize the chance of having them declare war"
"Well I am not a night ninja, and I won't let them lay a single finger on my daughter" Naruto said as he began to run in the direction Naoto had left fallowed by Itachi, Sasuke and finally Toshiro
Naoto was still running as fast as she could. For some reason, it made the pain feel better if she just kept on running. She never realized that she had crossed the border and was now being tracked by Rock ninjas from the earth. Suddenly a large wall of rock erupted in front of her, she almost slammed into it. Then the wall continued to surround her until she was trapped "Well, well, well, what do we have here? A little night ninja, you are a long way from your home little girl" the man said as he let out a laugh
Naoto was petrified, she had a mix of emotions, fear, anger, sadness, and they were all converging into one huge ball of emotion
"The Tsuchikage is going to like this one, she's a cutie" One of them said as the earth prison got smaller and smaller until Naoto could not move a muscle. There was only a small hole big enough to allow her to breath, she felt herself being picked up and carried. Her emotions continued to run wild as a red aura began to surround the rock prison. The one carrying it set it back down "What's this? Is she trying to break free?" He said letting out a small laugh "Give it up girly, this rock is harder than anything you could throw at it"
But his grin vanished as the rock prison shattered into pieces. They were all surprise to see what had happened, Naoto opened her eyes, they were now red and her nails had turned into claws as well as her teeth had turned into fangs. The rock ninjas began making hand signs, rocks erupted around her wrapping her body up in multiple lairs of rock. Naoto tried desperately to break free "Well, you are much stronger than we thought you were, but there is no way you can…" the rocks shattered once more as the red aura intensified, two tails had formed as her whiskers marks got darker
"What the hell? Is that the nine tails? I thought he died along with that kid twenty years ago!" one of them said horrified
Naoto jumped on one of them without warning with lightning speed her claws ripped the man's clothing to shreds as she sank her fangs into his throat before jumping off. Blood was gushing out of his throat as the man grabbed it with both his hands in a futile attempt to stop the blood, but it was useless. He died within seconds. More rock ninja's appeared and some of them were Junins "We have to kill her" one of the men said
"NO! if we can somehow capture her we can try and learn where this power of hers comes from. The Tsuchikage will reward us all greatly!" another said
One of them threw a kunai, Naoto did nothing to avoid it. It pierced her left arm, she grabbed it and took it out as blood began pouring from her wound but to their amazement, it began healing instantly. She threw the kunai back at the one who had thrown it at her, it went straight through his body and pieced his heart. The man coughed out blood before falling down and dying "If we can capture her inside a rock prison one more time, we might be able to hold her long enough to administer her a sedative!" one of them suggested
"I don't think she is going to let us capture her again" the other simply replied
They suddenly all began making hand signs, rocks began to fly at her from every direction. She was dodging them with ease and the ones she couldn't dodge she would break with her own claws. But the barrage of rocks was intensifying and one of them hit her in the face, and another, and another, her body was being pummeled by the rocks. And then the ground opened up under her and sucked her in before closing "Quickly, give her the sedative now!" one of them said as he penetrated the ground as if it was water, there was only silence as they waited for him to return
Seconds seemed like hours, suddenly the man was thrown out of the ground "what happened, did you give her the sedative?" one of them asked
"No..RUN!" he simply said trying to get back to his feet, but it was too late. The ground exploded as chakra poured out of Naoto, a third and fourth tail had appeared "We can't stop her" the man cried out as Naoto grabbed him by the collar. He looked into her blood red eyes with fear before her fist went through his body making him cough blood before dying
Naruto and the others had arrived at the border. They could see Naoto and the multiple dead rock ninja's as she killed the others "What…happened to her?" Sasuke asked in a horrified tone "Is that's the Kyuubi's power?"
"But that's impossible, the Kyuubi wasn't locked away in her" Itachi said horrified at what he saw
"It's not the Kyuubi, or well, yes it is, but it's the Namikaze blood limit" Naruto told them
"Blood Limit?" Sasuke asked him confused
"It was part of the deal I made with Kyuubi, but why has she lost control? I was able to go into the Kyuubi state and stayed in control" he said, wanting answers he bit his thumb and made hand signs "SUMMONING JUTSU!" he screamed out slamming his hand on the ground, once more the small version of the Kyuubi appeared in front of them
"Yes my lord?" He asked him
"Explain that!" he said pointing at Naoto who was on a killing rampage not far from them
"I see" he simply said
"You see? What is it? You said that we could go into this state without losing control!"
"Tell me, is this the first time she has used the power?" he asked them
Naruto looked at Toshiro "I never even knew she had this power…"
"And has anything emotional happened to her?" he asked again
"Yeah…" Naruto responded
"Then it's simple, she tapped into the power the same way you use to tap into the power, by your emotions, and since she had never used this power before, she was overwhelmed by it, she also has unleashed the full power by the looks of it as the four tails are out"
"But I didn't lose control when I tapped into the power!" Naruto said
"No, but you tapped into the powers willingly, she obviously stumbles upon it by accident, not knowing what it was, she released it. You on the other hand, have used the power multiple times before, she should only have started with going into the Kyuubi state rather then unleash the tail powers"
"So how do we stop it?!" Toshiro asked concerned for Naoto
"You can't" he simply answered
"WHAT?!" Naruto screamed at him
"I am sorry my lord, I guess I should explain what I meant, she has lost total control of her emotions and the power is running wildly, however you need not worry because it's not like there is a fox trying to break out of her like you use to have with me. Once her chakra runs out, she will pass out and return to normal"
"So your saying all we have to do is sit back and wait?" Itachi asked
"Basically, that's all you can do" Kyuubi said
"Uh guys, I think she is done playing with her friends" Sasuke said as he saw her kill the last rock ninja, she turned her head and saw them. Sasuke was afraid she would attack them but to his surprise she turned her back on them, and in a pink flash, she disappeared from their sight
"She is going deeper into earth territory, this is bad" Toshiro said
"We have to fallow her, the Kyuubi state has also given her the ability to run much faster. If we stay here, we will lose her" Naruto said as he began running across the border and into earth territory, followed by Sasuke and Itachi. Toshiro had not moved, Naruto stopped and looked at him "Well? What are you waiting for?" he asked him
"I have orders not to enter earth nation's borders…I can't go"
"WHAT? You are saying you are going to allow Naoto to run off on her own? Isn't she your subordinate?" Itachi screamed at him
Toshiro was being shredded up inside. On one end, he had his duty and loyalty to his country, on the other end he had Naoto. Memories of happy times he had with her began flooding his mind, of how he played with her as a child, of how he chased away someone who made her cry, of how he carried her on his back when she was tired. The day he gave her the necklace, the time he saw her put her heart on the line by telling a boy she liked him, and he rejected her because of her mark causing her to run away crying. And how he made the boy pay for making her cry, all the times he had sworn to protect her and Sakura. Her smiling face came into his mind. He took off his night headband and stared at it, he dropped it onto the ground and threw away his white cloak indicating his rank as a captain onto the ground leaving only his black kimono. He quickly joined them "Let's go save Naoto" he simply said as they began tracking her down once again
Meanwhile Sakura had dropped her glass of water "something horrible has happened to my baby…" she simply said. She didn't know why, but she had a feeling something had happened to Naoto "I have to go to her; I have to save my little girl!" She quickly ran to her room and dragged out an old chest. She took a key from her dresser and opened it. Inside it were her old red leaf headband and her weapons pouch. She strapped on her weapons pouch to her leg and looked at her headband "I promised myself that I would never be a shinobi again, but if Naoto is in danger nothing is going to stop me from coming to save her" she said as she put the headband into her hair before running out of the house
