'Hey'- Demon Thought

Let's begin

Sasuke was dead. Naruto couldn't save him. The person responsible was right in front of Naruto, who had received a complete overhaul in terms of his Blacklight powers. Tendrils, Armor, and another new mutation, Bladetail. He stood in the middle of Haku's ice dome, an image of death as he brandished these new mutations, but before he would make his enemy suffer, he turned to the fallen Uchiha. With his new form, he could 'see' Sasuke's circulatory system, and the oxygen to his lungs and brain was dropping, fast, but Naruto would remedy that. Kneeling down to his fallen childhood friend, Naruto rested his deformed tri-fingered hand on Sasuke's head, and channeled a bit of Biomass into the Uchiha, changing him forever.

Sasuke's body erupted in biomass as the substance healed him, augmenting his abilities he already had, and jump starting his systems, bringing him from the brink of death. Naruto noticed the Uchiha symbol on the back of his shirt glowed the same way his Uzumaki symbol in his normal form did. As Sasuke's wounds healed, what appeared to be organic nozzles formed down his back and forearms, spewing fire. Naruto chuckled as it seemed to augment his Uchiha affinity to fire. Sensing he'll live, Naruto stood, his tailing swishing in the air ominously as he glared at Haku, though she couldn't tell because of his present mask. "You'll pay for that..." He said, his voiced distorted through his current face and his own anger as he disappeared in a burst of speed, reappering with his tail already swung, shattering two mirrors, as he threw his arms forward, tendrils bursting from them, and grabbing onto a few mirrors and swung his arms in an arc over him, taking the mirrors with him, and shattering them on the ground with great force. Using a bit of creativity, Naruto channeled the familiar force he recognized as the Claw mutation into his tail and watched as the single blade tip erupted in biomass and split into five blades, sort of like a third hand, only symmetrical, as it slashed at more mirrors behind Naruto. Brandishing his Barb Skin as he sensed Haku's retaliation, he blocked all senbon and ice needles.

If he could, Naruto would smirked, as he systematically demolished Haku's mirrors and blocked her attacks. Deciding to end this, Naruto called on his new Ice Release and, using his Sharingan as well to copy her technique, since he has the Kekkei Genkai, the Sharingan can work on at least Ice Release, he threw his 'third hand' into an empty mirror, only for it to grab the real Haku around her throat and tear her out of the mirror and clenched his odd hand and slammed his fist into her mask with a rough haymaker, shattering it and throwing her away with the force. Utilizing the wings he seemed to have ignored until now, Naruto flew after her, catching up to and grabbing her out of her crash course with the water below the bridge by her throat. Finally breaking the hold of his rage against the fake hunter nin, Naruto's body erupted in biomass as he lazily flew back to the bridge, turning to normal save for his wings. "Why do you do this?" He asked simply.

"I do it for Zabuza-sama. And he does it for money from Gato. Currency is scarce in our line of work." Haku explained, jumping from him once they touched down, brandishing senbon like claws, as was her style, though panting heavily; she surely had a broken nose from Naruto's punch.

"He's not going to pay you." Naruto corrected.

Haku narrowed her eyes. "How do you know?" She asked suspiciously.

As an answer, Naruto erupted in biomass, retracting his wings, and reappeared as Waraji's partner, and the hostagee of Tsunami. Pulling information from his attained memories, Naruto spoke in his voice. "So we bring the bridge builder's bitch of a daughter as collateral? Why? You ain't paying Zabuza? You got a death wish, boss? Okay, if you say so. Waraji, lets go!" Finishing his dialogue, Naruto reverted to himself, mentally smirking at the horrified, then enraged face of Haku as she realized...

"That little shit wasn't going to pay us!" She cursed uncharacteristically.

"Indeed. He's on his way with an army of thugs to take care of you two since you'd tire yourselves out fighting us." Naruto explained.

Haku scowled and used a shunshin to appear by Zabuza's side.

"Haku! What're you-!" Zabuza yelled, only to be hushed by her frown.

"Gato is going to betray us." She said simply, seeing Zabuza narrow his eyes in fury.

"I should have known..." He whispered to himself. Before he could continue his quiet musing, Gato's smug laughter sounded over the bridge.

"Guess you found me out, 'Demon of the Mist!' Won't do you any good, though!" Gato yelled over the bridge, behind his army of 300 or more thugs.

With no warning, or command for that matter, the thugs unleashed their war cries as they ran forward, intent on killing all who opposed their boss.

"We'll handle this." Naruto and Zabuza both said, raising brows at their 'synched' announcements and shared a pair of manic grins as they nodded to each other, Naruto shifting into his Armor form, brandishing his Wings, Tendrils, and Claw-Bladetail combo as they both roared, running towards the approaching crowd, who only laughed at the two men who would oppose them.

Naruto flew over the crowd and flapped his wings down, tendrils shooting from his appendages and impaling thugs, consuming them into his inner reservoir of biomass as he shot downwards, impacting the ground with an eruption of tendrils from his fists along the ground, spearing more thugs in various limbs and organs. Swinging his tail about, he decapitated various more thugs. Thinking on the fly, he channeled his Claws back into his arms, replacing the Tendrils, but also into his legs. Naruto watched as his legs erupted in biomass, his 'toes' becoming blades much like his fingers, the length of his legs adorned with the spikes of his mutation.

Smirking to himself, mentally of course, Naruto set about his systematic slaughter of the thugs.

Zabuza, however, decided to leave crowd control to the blonde gaki, as his strange powers seemed to let him handle the 300+ thugs just fine. He stood with Team 7 and Haku, wide-eyed like them, watching him kill the fuck out of this whole crowd.

Sakura was extremely green as she watched the display and brushed her hand through the unconscious Sasuke's hair.

Naruto laughed rather insanely as he destroyed these thugs. Taking care not to lose himself to the slaughter, Naruto was getting a bit more creative, and channeled his claws to his wings. Naruto felt the change as his wings erupted in biomass and formed giant wing-like hands on his back, just covered in the spikes, five most prominent to distinguish the 'fingers' as he grabbed thugs in them and crushed them together, sometimes right above his head, bathing in their blood, only for his Armor form to absorb the life liquid.

Pouncing around like a monkey on a caffeine rush, Naruto dug his clawed feet and hands into numerous thugs and beheaded nearby ones with his tail and crushed others with his wings. Looking around and panting through his transformed visage, Naruto found he had killed every single thug, leaving Gato who was paralyzed with fear, drenched in the blood of his hired thugs. Throwing his tail around his hip, Naruto seized Gato by his stomach and pulled him towards his waiting claws, watching as Gato's face was frozen in fear as he died. Consuming the shipping mogul, Naruto's head was flooded with the information to Gato's numerous vaults to his riches, the money he stole from Wave Country. Shifting back to normal, Naruto turned to face his team and new allies, he frowned as he saw Sakura vomiting over the edge of the bridge, but could swear Anko and Haku were staring at him with lust. Zabuza looked pissed that he was left out of the slaughter, and Sasuke was still unconscious.

Naruto walked over to his best friend and seized him by the collar of his shirt. 'Time for some payback.' Naruto smirked in his head and proceeded to slap Sasuke like a bitch. After a whole minute of slapping, Sasuke finally awoke, as if someone shook him lightly. "Where am I?" He asked wearily. "And why does my face hurt so much?" he added.

"You didn't answer me so I had to slap you. A lot. Now my hand is tired." Naruto parroted what Sasuke said when he had to slap Naruto from his stupor before, smirking as a vein popped up on Sasuke's forehead.

"Look dobe, I-!" Sasuke yelled, only to be stopped as his back and forearms erupted in flames, almost catching Anko's cloak on fire. Freaking out and jumping away, Sasuke looked at his arms, only to find nozzles down his forearms and at the ends of his fingers. "What the hell is this?!" Sasuke yelled indignantly. He noticed the texture of his skin and found it was the same as Naruto's Claws. Turning his glare on Naruto, he sneered. "What the hell did you do to me, Naruto?!" He yelled, pointing an accusing finger at said blonde, only for a stream of fire to burst from it. Thankfully, Naruto ducked under this attack.

"That is probably a mutation you acquired when I used biomass to heal you. I think you should call it Flamethrower." Naruto said.

Sasuke seethed but calmed himself down and concentrated on his new arms, willing them away. Erupting in biomass, the disappeared, and his normal arms returned. "Thank Kami these can go away..." He said. "So does this mean I have the same powers as you?" He asked, looking to Naruto.

Naruto shrugged. "Maybe. Maybe you don't. All I know is, I saved my best friend from certain death, and now he has flamethrowers for arms and a spine." Naruto said.

"Spine?" Sasuke deadpanned. Looking over his shoulder, with some difficulty, Sasuke saw the small fireballs from each nozzle ready to burst into ample flames. Scowling and willing them away, Sasuke felt the tingle of biomass as it disappeared and his clothed spine returned. He vaguely noticed his Uchiha symbol glowing faintly. "Well, that's taken care of." He said, more like reassured himself.

Naruto nodded. "Now..." He started, turning on Haku and Zabuza. "Will you come with us to Konoha?" He asked them.

Both missing nin were taken back by the request. "Why?" Zabuza asked gruffly.

"Do you really want to remain as missing nin? I'm sure oji-san could integrate you into the shinobi ranks." Naruto offered.

"Whoa whoa whoa, hold it right there, gaki!" Anko interjected. "What makes you think I'll allow this?" she said, poking Naruto in the chest as she stared into his eyes.

Naruto stared blankly at her and simply gave her a peck on her nose. She sighed and slouched, hanging her head low. "Fine. They can come. That is if you want to, Zabuza-san, hunter-san." She said, turning to Zabuza and Haku.

"My name is Haku." She corrected, earning a nod of acceptance from all involved.

"Okay, we will." Zabuza agreed.

"Excellent!" Naruto chirped happily, then proceeded to fall face first to the ground.

"Naruto-kun!" Both Anko and Haku yelled, lunging to catch him.

Zabuza raised a naked brow. "-kun?" He said, mirth in his voice as he chuckled at Haku's blushing face.

"Let's bring the idiot in, he probably went overboard while I was out. Can someone let me in on what happened while I was unconscious?" Sasuke asked as everyone walked towards Tazuna's house, the bridge builder broken out of his stupor from what he just saw and shrugging it off as 'shinobi stuff.'

Zabuza readily volunteered to let Sasuke in on the details. The other shinobi pitied the poor Uchiha since Zabuza would definitely make it as gory as possible.

(Five hours later)

Everyone was at dinner, eating happily, even Zabuza and Haku complimented Tsunami on her cooking, to the blushing womans enjoyment. Sasuke eyed Naruto with a hint of fear; Zabuza's rather... colorful retelling of Naruto's exploits painted a rather disturbing picture. When Naruto regained consciousness, Sasuke asked him about this. His answer was Naruto showcasing his new mutations and his own retelling of the massacre at the bridge. Sasuke was green until dinner.

Naruto mused how he felt... 'full', even before eating. He thought it had something to do with the large amount of people he consumed at the bridge. He couldn't wait to show off to Alex and James; they'd be so jealous of his whole slew of new powers.

Along with his showing Sasuke his new powers, he trained with his Army Absorption, finding he had a 'minion' for every thug he consumed, bringing about his own army of zombies. Strangely enough, apart from his 'human' zombies, he had the crow he consumed for his wings as a familiar. When he re-absorbed his zombies, the crow stayed. Mentally willing the crow to disappearing, it broke down into dust and drained into him much like the zombies would. Deciding to let it be free amongst the world, he let it reform, and gave it a name: Hokori. Dust.

For now, the crow was resting on the roof of the house, his eyes connected to Naruto's in case some remaining thugs of Gato's attacked.

As Naruto was about to take another bite of his food, he froze, then shot up, his hands on the table. "We're under attack!" He said to everyone. They all shot up and readied themselves for another fight.

(Thirty minutes later)

Team 7, Zabuza, and Haku all stood outside the house, facing the direction Hokori told Naruto the thugs were coming from.

Naruto transformed into his form from the bridge, brandishing his armor and clawed limbs, tail, and wings. He created a biomass clone who brandished the two doujutsu he acquired, the Kekkei Genkai from Haku, and the Tendrils, summoning his army with Army Absorption.

Sasuke brandished his Flamethrowers and subsequent Fire Trail, a name he gave to the nozzles of fire down his spine, and his Sharingan, as Anko and Sakura brandished dual kunai and, strangely enough, the Hebi taijutsu stance. Anko had taught Sakura on the side ever since their genin test, as the girl's potential was infinite, but she focused too much on the Uchiha. While she was a fanatic, she still loved Sasuke, but she was serious about her skills as a kunoichi. She was intermediate in her taijutsu training, thankfully taking stamina exercises as well, and working on building up her chakra reserves, as her perfect control was due to her miniscule chakra.

Zabuza brandished his Kubikiribocho, and Haku her senbon and ice-laden hair, ready for her salvo of needles.

From Hokori's eyes, the army was twice as big as the army at the bridge, drawing worry from all around, except for Zabuza, who relished the concept of finally killing people.

Steeling themselves, the group ran forward, into the jaws of the beast. Zabuza barreled into the crowd, butchering at least five thugs already. Swinging his zanbatou above his head, Zabuza took a page from his first attack on Team 7, and threw his blade forward, watching it eradicate at least twenty before it went round about and came back to himself, killing at least another thirty. Smirking as the blood dripping from his blade was absorbed into the tiny nicks of the few thugs who tried to hold the blade back, Zabuza attacked again, with reckless abandon.

Haku had been spamming Sensatsu Suisho among the crowd, and threw her Frozen Needle Hell into the mix, watching as thugs fell left and right. She didn't know much Hyoton techniques, and she didn't have enough chakra to make an ice dome of mirrors around the entire crowd, so she settled for this.

Sasuke was having a blast with his new Blacklight abilities, rocketing forward with his pair of arms powered with flames shooting him forward, roasting the thugs he passed by as he flew through the crowd. Trying his hand at what Naruto did, he consumed quite a few thugs, feeling disgusted at first, but then... content. Full. Refreshed and healed from the few wounds the thugs managed to inflict on him. Throwing around Katon techniques, his chakra reserves refreshed with his victims as he consumed them, Sasuke systematically cut down their numbers with ease.

Sakura and Anko did their fair share of kills, the former dealing with her unease of the murders as she was 'taken care of' watching Naruto's slaughter, bobbing and weaving around strikes with the fluidity of snakes as they drove their kunai into the weakspots of the attacking men. Sakura seemed to take to the Hebi style with ease, and all subsequent jutsu with it, as she managed to learn, and was currently using, Sen'eijashu, much like Anko was doing. Though it felt so weird since her sleeves were rather short; she felt like the snakes were coming from her armpits.

Naruto was slaughtering the thugs, using the tendrils from his wings to impale and consume those caught on the tendrils, slicing and crushing others in his grasp, dismembering others with the claws on his hands and feet, and bisecting others with his tail. He was kicking ass and taking names, and steadily strengthening each mutation with those he consumed, even if they held no real powers.

His clone was currently throwing black flames amongst the crowd, grabbing some to throwing them aside as bombs of tendrils with said mutation and its subsequent addition, Bio-Bomb. He then threw his own Sensatsu Suisho, skewering more thugs. Finally, he sicked his army of zombies on the crowd, watching them barrel through the thugs and destroy their numbers. While some were cut down, as they were mindless creatures that could only kill, their remains were absorbed by their comrades, strengthening them.

Within the hour, the forest where the battle commenced was painted crimson with the blood of the army of 600+ thugs, as a few stragglers where quickly taken down with deadly precision of throw kunai. All bodies were consumed by Naruto's zombies, giving them strength. By the end of this little war, his army was now 400 strong.

Team 7 and the Kiri duo stood in the center of the gore-laden field, admiring their work. While Sakura and Sasuke were a bit green in the face, they held their lunch, understanding this was the career of a shinobi, and this would only occur more, sometimes worse.

"Well... that was productive." Naruto commented, eliciting everyone to deadpan at him. "What?" He asked jokingly, his Biomass clone reabsorbing into him as his army followed suit.

"Well!" Anko said, making a show of herself by stretching to the side, her arms high in the air. "I'm tired. Lets go to bed." Everyone sweat dropped at her but readily agreed. Today was a taxing day.

But today was totally fucking awesome in terms of Naruto's Blacklight.

End Ch. 5

So, whaddya think? The Flamethrowers for Sasuke were my own idea, and mutation hybrid-ing! Always fun! Seriously, why hasn't anyone thought of something like this? Combining Whipfist and Claws would kick massive amounts of ass! Could work as a grappling hook, too. Anyway, tell me what you think.

Ja ne!
