Chapter 3: I Seek Complete Bliss, Ignorance

Naruto didn't know where he was, he didn't know how he had gotten there or even what time or day it was. All Naruto knew was that he had walked into something hard, his mind clearing of the numbers as a result, if only for a few minutes. Naruto was starting to get worried, the last thing he remembered was leaving the Academy and now he was near a deep gorge in the middle of the night, he was also starving.

"Wh-what's going on with me?" Naruto asked himself worriedly. He shouldn't be losing time, he shouldn't be getting lost but he was and it was all because of the numbers taking over his thoughts.

Honestly Naruto was terrified about what was going on, he didn't even have his red eyes activated and yet he could feel the numbers pushing their way into his thoughts, probing his mind and convincing him to complete the strange Magyk jutsu. He needed to work it out, use it and feel it's power. That was the problem though, he had never really felt such a need for anything before, except ramen. Naruto was very terrified of what was happening to his mind.

"Oi, lookie here boys it's the demon-brat," a rough voice called out in malicious glee.

Turning around Naruto came face to face with several Chūnin, each and every one smelled to the high heavens of alcohol. Too bad Naruto did not really notice that. Under his goggles Naruto's eyes were red once again and Naruto was lost in the numbers. Naruto didn't notice as the Chūnin mocked him, he didn't notice as they spit on him, he didn't notice as one of them started to do hand-signs, he did notice however when a large ball of fire raced towards him.

…

Ayame was worried, she couldn't find Naruto anywhere. Where was her cute little otouto? She searched and searched and searched for him everywhere she could. After leaving his apartment she searched the training grounds he frequented, she searched the Academy building, the hospital, she even searched the library. Nowhere she went could she find Naruto, nowhere.

After searching for what felt like several hours Ayame was getting really desperate, she had no idea where she should search, she couldn't go the Hokage as she would never get past his security, Naruto didn't have any friends that she could speak to, there was nothing she could do but search and search and search. If she was lucky she would eventually find the boy, alive.

Ayame in her desperation was not looking where she was going and thus did not see the person in front of her until it was too late. Feeling her breath leave her, Ayame fell to the ground, "Ouch," she muttered.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention are you all right?" a soft voice asked. Looking up Ayame saw it was a woman dressed in an outfit made primarily out of bandages, she had black hair, red eyes and a hitai-ate on as well. She was also holding a hand out to help Ayame up.

"I'm really sorry," Ayame apologise accepting the hand, "I can't find my otouto and I've been running around for the last few hours to try and find him. I'm really worried that something happened to him!"

The woman gave a small frown at that before seeming to come to a decision. "What does he look like?" she asked "I'll help you search for your little brother."

Ayame almost responded before hesitating. This woman was old enough to know what Naruto contained within himself, what would she do when she found out who it was that was missing? Would she hurt him or help him? Would she decide not to help or get some friends together for a 'fox-hunt?' "I-I will be fine without your help, thank you," Ayame said awkwardly before quickly running away, from the woman and hopefully towards her otouto.

…

Kurenai frowned in confusion as the girl ran off, she was obviously worried about her little brother so why wouldn't she accept any help? Furthermore why did she look terrified at the idea? Deciding to see just what was going on Kurenai leaped to the rooftops and followed after the girl. She would find out just what had the girl so worried.

The girl must have run through every single street in Konoha twice while Kurenai followed her, not once did the girl ask anyone for help and she never seemed to find her little brother. Kurenai knew that if the boy was not in the village itself then there were only a few options left, he had been abducted, somehow got outside the walls or was in one of the many, many training grounds that Konoha had. Deciding that the little brother was probably in one of the training grounds Kurenai started to search each and every single one. Something more important than a lost little boy was happening here and Kurenai would find out exactly what it was.

Training grounds one to fifteen was empty, training ground sixteen had a small group of people camping out, training ground seventeen had a Genin being chased by a wild boar and training ground eighteen had a large fireball.

"I...should probably check that out" Kurenai decided.

…

Ryner was not having a good time, sure he was in his nice comfy cell and it was the perfect time for a nap but there was a large group of people getting ready to attack his host. Worst of all his host was unaware of it all as the insanity brought on from the Alpha Stigma was affecting him again.

"Hopefully they don't beat my host too bad," Ryner sighed "the quality of this place really drops when he gets hospitalised."

Then the hand-seals began. With a simple look Ryner could tell that while hand-seals were inefficient they still worked and those particular hand-seals would create a ball of flaming fire, two hundred and nineteen point two six zero one degrees Celsius in temperature, would be zero. Nine four one nine metres in diameter, would travel at a speed of one point seven two meters per second and would seriously injure or even kill his host.

Giving a theatrical sigh Ryner lazily pulled himself to his feet and walked to the door of his cell. "I did not want to feed your curse," he muttered "but Ferris will kill me if I just allow you to die."

Casually and seemingly without any effort Ryner opened the door of his cell and walked past the seal as if it wasn't there. It hadn't been too hard for him to understand how to circumvent the seal years ago. Soon Ryner reached one of the walls of the mind-scape and touched one of the pipes specifically created to draw the Kyuubi's chakra to the host. Pipes which had never been in use before as Ryner had no chakra and he was definitely not a nine tailed chakra beast.

"You better not come crying to me when you can't get any afternoon naps after this," Ryner muttered before pushing his magic into the pipe, into his host.

…

The numbers in Naruto's mind cleared instantly as he saw the fireball racing towards him, it was too big and too fast for the blonde to try and dodge it. It was too hot to take on directly so what was he to do?

"Counter it," a voice in his head whispered, "fight fire with fire."

Ignoring the fact that he was hearing voices Naruto had to admit that it was a good idea and he knew just the technique to use. "I seek the burning fields," Naruto chanted, a glowing blue image, similar to a seal array, appeared in front of him. "Kurenai!" Naruto finished, releasing a huge jet of fire from the image.

Naruto's eyes told him many things about the fire in front of him. They told him that the fire was over one thousand degrees Celsius, that it would greatly overpower the fireball heading towards him, that with a few tweaks to the 'seal array' it could be a lot stronger or a lot weaker but the most important thing that they told Naruto was that he finally got the Magyk to work.

It took a short while for the fire to die down but when it did Naruto saw that the drunks were still standing there, frightened. "Y-y-you demon!" one of the drunks shouted before rushing forward to attack him.

The man was drunk, his movements sloppy but even then he was still faster, stronger and more skilled than Naruto. The blonde had only one way to defend himself "I seek the burning fields, Kurenai!" Naruto chanted only to watch on in horror as nothing happened.

"Do not get used to using magic and spell arrays. I will not allow you to use my magic unless necessary," the voice in his head chided him.

Naruto didn't bother arguing with the voice, he didn't bother complaining all he did was prepare to turn and run, though he knew it was too late.

…

Kurenai watched on in horror as a fireball was sent flying towards Konoha's resident Jinchuuriki. The fireball could kill him and release the Kyuubi. The whole village could be destroyed by some drunk Chūnin while Kurenai stood and watched.

"I seek the burning fields, Kurenai!" the Jinchuuriki chanted as a seal array appeared in the air and a large torrent of flame came out of it, completely overpowering the smaller, weaker fireball. What was even more shocking about it though was that Kurenai couldn't sense even the tiniest amount of chakra coming from the Jinchuuriki's jutsu. Just how had he done that? "Is it because of the Kyuubi?" Kurenai asked herself aloud.

"Y-y-you demon!" one of the drunk Chunin shouted before charging to attack the Jinchuuriki.

"I seek the burning fields, Kurenai!" the Jinchuriki chanted again only to stare in shock as nothing happened. Then he turned and ran.

"Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique" Kurenai intoned as she cast the genjutsu on the drunk Chūnin. She may not like the Jinchuuriki or even know him but no one anywhere should ever attack a child, no matter what the reason is. Those bastards would pay for what they were attempting to do and her genjutsu was making sure of that.

When the Jinchuuriki realised that he wasn't being chased he slowed down and turned around, his goggle covered eyes landing on Kurenai.

"Are you alright?" Kurenai asked softly, giving the child a small smile only for him not to respond. Internally frowning at his lack of response, Kurenai slowly moved towards him until she was right in front of him at which time she crouched down so that they were face to face. "Are you alright. Are you hurt?" she asked.

"Y-your e-eyes," he stammered out. Kurenai had to resist the urge to growl, she hated how everyone always commented on them, claiming that they were demon-like and teasing her about them just because they were red. "D-do y-you see th-the numbers t-too?" he asked hopefully. Kurenai's thoughts paused as she processed that question. Does she see the numbers? Okay that was a new one.

"What do you mean?" she asked, confused "What numbers?"

The Jinchuuriki was about to respond when one of the nerves on the back of his neck was hit and he passed out.

"What do you think you are doing?" Kurenai asked furiously as she got into a battle stance, her opponent was the Nara clan head and Jōnin Commander.

The Nara casually picked the Jinchuuriki up and gave Kurenai a cold glare "This does not concern you Chūnin Yuhi," he told her.

Kurenai bristled at that, she absolutely hated the elitism that the Jōnins always displayed. "He was just attacked and then you come along and knock him out? I have the right to be concerned. Now tell me what is going on!" Kurenai ordered.

"Clan business," was all the Nara said before he shunshin'd away.

Kurenai knew for a fact that it was pointless to try and follow after him, he was too fast, too strong and too smart for her to have any chance against so she decided to go see the Hokage. She would make sure that the Jinchuuriki was alright, she would also bring up that teen's missing brother as well.

…

Ryner watched on lazily as his host cast his first spell, once the spell was over and he was sure that the drunks weren't going to use any more jutsu Ryner made sure to stop pumping his magic into the boy. He would not feed the curse unless the boy was about to die, maybe not even then.

"Do not get used to using magic and spell arrays. I will not allow you to use my magic unless necessary," he told his host when he tried to cast Kurenai yet again.

Then Ryner watched as the young woman tried to talk to his host, showing concern over the boys well being. Then his host was knocked out.

"It wasn't the woman," Ryner mused aloud, "It was physically impossible for her to have done it and she actually looked concerned for him anyway."

Shrugging and deciding not to worry about it as there was nothing Ryner could do until his host woke up he just lay back and watched. He continued watching as his host's memories got covered in a thick, grey sludge. One by one until everything from the time when he first learned of magic till the present was covered and inaccessible to the boy.

"That won't do anything," Ryner yawned "the Alpha Stigma has seen magic, it has used magic and it will always require a tiny bit of magic now. Well ignorance is bliss I suppose, though I am curious on how the Alpha's hunger will manifest itself now." Ryner gave another shrug before lying back on his pile of books "Meh who cares. Time for a nap."
