Hey guys and girls.
Welcome back to a new chapter of Crimson Lord Naruto.
So just a recap of what happened in the previous chapter.
The Unholy 9 have successfuly revived their parents and are now working on doing their absolute best to push back the war with Bal Masque. But with the fact from Shinju that should Naruto continue using the Tenth Seal. He'll be killed from an overload of power. That's a lot of pressure should Naruto die. That will leave Wilhelmina and their child to live their lives without a father and a husband respectively.
Can Wilhelmina convince her husband to not use his Tenth Seal?
Read on and find out.
Enjoy.
Disclaimers: I own nothing.
A heartbeat thats lasts for eternity. Lives consumed in soundless balls of fire. No one can tell when the world is displaced, and the Flames of the Crimson World sweep over all.
Chapter 16: Fights?
Walking back into their hotel, Wilhelmina's facial expression was racked with regret as she peered over to her sleeping husband. What Shinju told her about Naruto slowly dying the more he used the Tenth Seal. Placing a hand o her stomach, she felt the slowly growing child in her. Even at this stage in the pregnancy, she could feel the power their child held. It was incredible. But still, she couldn't stand the fact that if Naruto died, they would live on without him.
"He'll die the more he uses the Tenth Seal." echoed Shinju's words in her mind.
"I won't let you use the Tenth Seal." said Wilhelmina as she climbed into bed with Naruto.
Waking up the next morning, Wilhelmina's sleep was disturbed when the smell of amzing food flooded her nostrils. Opening her eyelids to find Naruto making breakfast, she smiled to him as she stretched her tired limbs. Climbing out the bed she walked over to him as he stopped what he was doing and brought her into a hug followed by a passionate kiss on the lips.
"Good morning." she said as Naruto's hand snaked around her waist.
"A very good morning with you here." said Naruto as he gave her a peck on the lips and went back to cooking.
Wilhelmina set up the table as Naruto finished up the food. They ate in silenced as Wilhelmina forked her eggs as her attention was on Naruto. She couldn't stand seeing him get hurt.
"What?" asked Naruto as he looked up from his food.
"It's nothing." said Wilhelmina as she smiled a crooked smile and went to eat her food.
Once the food was finished, Naruto cleaned the dishes while Wilhelmina climbed into the shower. Placing her hands on the wall as the gnawing fact kept her mind occupied. But while she tried to stop the gnawing fact, an idea popped into her head. Why not just have Naruto and her use Resonace, Syncro and Thresh hold and not have him use Tenth Seal. But that was when the first suggestion hit her. Resonance amplifies their powers to have Naruto go into Tenth Seal and her go into a Crimson Soul like state when they used Resonance. So they were left with only two powers they could do. Syncro and Thresh hold. With it settled in her mind she finished cleaning herself.
Once she was out the shower Naruto went in. As he showered, Wilhelmina looked at the tattoo that symbolised the link she had with Naruto. Pushing her power into the tattoo, it materialised and what she saw shocked her. Two of the chains at the top looked to be damaged. Come to think of it, Naruto had only used the Tenth Seal only twice. So this must symbolise the damage done to him. After all, it was her tattoo that showed how much power Naruto had left while his was to see how much energy they had gathered between each other to perform their combined attacks.
Hearing the shower stop, she looked to find Naruto walked out the bathroom dressed and ready to go. Walking out the hotel, they made their way to a resturant where they met up with Shinju and Kaguya. Smiling to them, they sat down and ordered a cup of coffee.
"So, the child will be a boy or a girl?" asked Kaguya as she leaned forward while resting her head on her intertwined hands on the table.
"Girl." stated Wilhelmina with a smile.
"Again, I say otherwise." said Naruto with Shinju laughing at him.
"Son, it's not a good idea to say things like that to your wife. When Kaguya-chan stated that she was having a son, she had you. It's best to agree with Wilhelmina-chan here that you'll be having a daughter." said Shinju as Naruto huffed at how he may be wrong.
Seeing Wilhelmina worrying about something, Kaguya asked Shinju to take Naruto to a weapon's shop close by.
Agreeing to it, seeing the same thing she was, Shinju took Naruto to let them have their talk amongst themselves. Once they were gone, Kaguya gained a serious look at Wilhelmina.
"So, what is really eating you?" asked Kaguya.
"It's just that what Shinju-san told me. Is Naruto really going to die the more he uses his Tenth Seal power?" asked Wilhelmina as Kaguya nodded.
"Yes. As my husband explained to you. Naruto was born with a tremendous amount of power that was too strong for his body to handle. We sealed it up and from there, Naruto was raised without the notion that he had incredible powers in him, that were sealed away. His normal powers were what you saw. With his Denizen power being the 9 Seals you have command over." said Kaguya.
"But what is the Tenth Seal really holding back?" asked Wilhelmina.
Kaguya just smiled as she gave a slight chuckle.
"His Crimson Lord power. That's what. Or to be presice. His Abomination power." said Kaguya.
"Please explain." stated Wilhelmina curious as to why the Tenth Seal held back Naruto's Abomination power when he was an Abomination.
"You see. When Naruto was born, he was born with the power of the Crimson Lord and the Denizen. But unlike his siblings, his power was the most potent. Now, the power inside him was in a sense, trying to kill each other. It may look like they have been harmonised together, forming that amazing transformation he takes everytime he goes into Tenth Seal Sate, but it isn't. What is really happening is that his powers are battling each other to gain control. Naruto doesn't realise it as everytime he uses it, his body reeases a huge amount of adrenaline at the same time when the Tenth Seal activates. But as you noticed, when the power vanishes, he passes out." said Kaguya.
"So what was sealed away in a sense was his Crimson Lord powers. While he has his Denizen powers unrestrained. Shouldn't it have been the other way around?" asked Wilhelmina with Kaguya shaking her head.
"No. It was my idea to seal away his Crimson Lord powers. I wanted our son to grow and feel his Denizen powers while his Crimson Lord powers stay locked away. The Denizen powers we easily stopped as you have noticed by forming a simple contract. What that basicly means is that from the Contractor to the Contractee, a bridge of some type forms, a link between the two of you. So when you wish to open one seal, it will slightly affect you when the Contractee gains the power." replied Kaguya.
"Affect me how?" asked Wilhelmina.
"You gain a small piece of the power from the seal. Meaning, while Naruto is in one of the sealed states. For example, you've unlocked his 6th Seal. While he takes on his Denizen form, you gain heightened senses. Meaning that your depth perception, hearing etc. are all taken to a new level. As well, your strength and speed is also greatly enhanced." said Kaguya.
"Okay, that clears that up. But what of your Contract? I see that you have a totally different marking than myself and Naruto-kun." said Wilhelmina looking at the rose tattoo in her forearm, wondering why it stayed on.
"Ah yes. Each Contract is different to the next. When Shinju-kun and I formed our Contract, it took on the form of a rose with ten petals. Each petal symbolising a piece of his powers." said Kaguya.
"But then why is yours always on while mine activates when I want it to?" asked Wilhelmina.
"There it is. The million dollar question. Due to the constant use of our Syncro and Thresh hold powers, we have developed into our Resonance stage. And above that is the final stage of the link we have. One where we become one mind and body. The Eternal Link. You believed it was performing a Syncro and Resonance at the same time. It isn't. Once you've gotten to that stage, the true power you share will surface. But, now don't take this the wrong way, or as me being a bitch. But I don't think you'll ever reach that phase where you gain Eternal Link." said Kaguya.
"Yeah, because of the whole Tenth Seal thing. But back to that, why did Naruto-kun gain it in the 4th Shinobi War?" asked Wilhelmina.
"During the fighting, some idiot decided it was a good time to useus a weapons and put the entire world under an illusion. Before myself and Shinju-kun became controled, I gave Naruto the keys to the Tenth Seal, making him think he was given incredible power. He used the power, but he used it when he was too exhausted." said Kaguya.
"I understand now." said Wilhelmina as a Seal was brought up freezing everything around them.
Both Naruto and Shinju were seen running to them. Both held looks of seriousness as they flared their powers. Wilhelmina and Kaguya got up and joined their spouses respectively. Ready to take on whatever came their way. But that was when a very dark laugh was heard. And Naruto knew this laugh all too well. His power flared even higher as his eyes darted all over the place in search of the one who was laughing.
"Show yourself." demanded Naruto as his eyes turned red and slitted as red flames became visible off him.
"Now that's no way to talk to your friend. Especially one who was just reborn." echoed the voice as a being with a very horrific look appeared above them.
He had strange hand type wings while his body was a dark brown colour. His hair was grey and his sclera in his eyes were full black.
"Sasuke!" snarled Naruto as he launched himself so fast and so far into the air he collided with him.
Sasuke meerly smirked as he brushed Naruto off him and sent him into a building. Naruto simply shot out and began attacking him more than ever. His hatred burning hotter than what it was. Wilhelmina, Shinju and Kaguya were all completely shocked at the display they were witnessing from their own son. It was like he was a completely different person. Kaguya and Shinju knew the extent of Naruto's hatred for this one individual, but they never knew just how deep it went.
"Tenth Seal. Release!" shouted Naruto as his power increased. But with Naruto's rage being added to the mix, the Tenth Seal took on a more darker look.
His hair turned a more black colour as well as the hair that was being blown up to resemble horns actaully became horns. The colour of the burning orange gold turned a violent purple black. Naruto dropped to the floor as he clutched his chest in pain. Looking up as his eyes turned to a full black colour with the iris going a golden colour with a strange white mask appearing on the left side of his face with 3 red lines running along the top with tear marks forming as well.
"Oh crap." was all the two parents could say.
"What? What's going on?" asked Wilhelmina looking from them to Naruto.
"His power is completely going from a Tenth Seal to a more darker approach. It's called Dark Soul. All the hatred in him is being mixed in with his Tenth Seal. It has never happened since the end of the 4th Shinobi War. But it was only released for a few minutes. This is very bad." said Kaguya bringing up her forearm which held the rose tattoo.
"Shinju-kun." said Kaguya.
"Yeah I know." said Shinju as they began to power up.
"5Th Seal. Release." said Kaguya and Shinju took off while 5 black tails emerged out him with two wolf ears ontop his head. His looks also became more feral like.
As they fought, Sasuke soon caught Wilhelmina in the corner of his eye and smiled evily.
"You know. It's been so long since I had a good fuck. So I'll just do what I did 1000 years ago." said Sasuke making Naruto's eyes widen.
"Don't you dare." snarled Naruto as he charged forward only to have Sasuke vanish and reappear before Wilhelmina, just as the two Denizens collided with one another.
Watching in horror, Naruto felt like this was going to be a repeat episode of what happened when he lost his daughter. Sasuke walked over to Wilhelmina who was rearing up a lot of ribbons, she smirked as he deflected them all.
"I know you want me." said Sasuke now face to face with her.
"Go to hell." spat Wilhelmina only to be silenced by a kiss on the lips from Sasuke.
Blinded by sheer rage, the images of seeing Shion do the same to Sasuke burned into his eyes. Loosing all focus on what was real and what wasn't, Naruto roared as his power shot through the roof to even higher levels. Breaking from the roof he was on, shot toward Sasuke who vanished to be above them again, he smiled as he waved goodbye.
"See you around sweet heart." said Sasuke as he vanished.
And now there was Naruto. Frenzied to no extent that he lost all self control and began attacking Wilhelmina. Dodging each attack to the best of her abilities, Wilhelmina did her best to try and calm her husband down.
"Naruto-kun. It's me, your wife. Wilhelmina. Remember?" she pleaded as she evaded another swipe to her stomach.
"How dare you. How dare you. You betrayed me. Shion" snarled Naruto as he continued his assault on her.
"Wait. Shion?" said Kaguya now realising what was going on.
"Ah. I see now." said Shinju landing next to his wife. "The events that have taken place in the past regarding Sasuke and the scandal his wife had with him, have been burned into his eyes. His mind is stuck in the past. So instead of seeing Wilhelmina. He's seeing his traitorous wife, Shion." said Shinju.
"We've got to stop him." said Kaguya.
"That we must." said Shinju as the began to power up more.
"Let's go. Resonance." they said in unison.
In that instant a powerful vortex of energy swirled around them as they locked hands with each other. Both of them brought up their hands into a Ram sign and pointed it at Naruto who was still attacking Wilhelmina.
"Sealing Art: Damnation of the wicked!" they said as 11 stone pillars shot out the ground, trapping Naruto inside.
Howling at being trapped, Naruto began attacking the cage he was in. But it wasn't over yet.
"Removal: Restoration of the mind!" they said as well and Naruto began to convulse and writhe as he struggled to remain what he was.
"Kaguya-chan. We can't he's too..." trailed Shinju as he looked over to his wife.
"We can do it. Just a bit longer." she said.
Eventually, after 5 minutes of them struggling, Naruto reverted back to normal as he sat there. His hands on the floor as he breathed sharply at what happened to him. The cage vanished and his parents walked up to him with very noticable frown of their faces.
Slowly getting up, Naruto was awarded with a slap through the face thanks to Kaguya. He knew why they slapped him as his face hit the ground.
"What were you thinking? Using the Tenth Seal like that? I thought I raised you better than that. How many times have we told you. To not use yor powers in a reckless manner? You put yourself and the lives of your wife and child at risk. Do you have any idea what that does?" snapped Kaguya extremely angry at what Naruto did.
She would've continued further if Wilhelmina hadn't coughed up some blood and dropped to the floor with very nasty thud.
"Wilhelmina-chan." said Naruto as he sped to his wife.
And scene.
So with Sasuke now back in the world and everything now going into chaos, things have been growing more and more dangerous. As well, Naruto has unleashed a very powerful yet evil state known as the Dark Soul form.
Yes I know that with the Dark Soul form I copied some parts from Bleach with Ichigo's Hollow form, but I added that to add more base to the Dark Soul form. So in a sense, that is what happens when the power of Naruto's Tenth Seal become corrupted with rage. As well Wilhelmina has collapsed. This will be explained in the next chapter.
Chapter 17: Guilty?
