Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Please excuse this chapter, as I let my imagination run away a bit, and towards the end I was just like "Blegh," So, yeah, please, don't stop reading because of all the bad stuff. I promise, it'll all get better soon!
READ THE DISHCLAIMEH: I don't own Naruto, y'know.
He had not been able to control himself.
Naruto let another sob of despair, as he saw his own vicious fangs sink into Kiba's skull, quickly silencing the screams of pain and fear. Warm blood gushed down his own throat, making him gag. He threw aside the mangled body of the young Inuzuka, and he let out a deep, rumbling sigh of satisfaction that he knew was not his own.
He turned around, eyes scanning the remains of the battlefield, taking a quick moment to observe the remains of Sasuke and Akamaru. He had made short work of the dog, a quick squeeze of his strong hands and the Kiba's partner's neck was broken. His crying had started at that point, as a young, tiny creature had been brutally murdered by his own hand.
He had not been able to control himself.
Sasuke had been first, however... Naruto had been forced to watch as two wickedly sharp claws had been thrust into the Uchiha's eye sockets, destroying the clans beloved Kekkei Genkai, and snuffing out Sasuke's light.
It had terrified Naruto when he had first turned to face the Uchiha, as he could see, for the first time, real fear in his eyes, and he could smell the urine puddling around his left shoe. It had truly terrified Naruto at the thought that the most calm, and fearless person he had known had pissed himself at the sight of Uzumaki's monstrous form.
He had not been able to control himself.
Kiba would have gone down easily enough, had Naruto not decided to play with him a little. The usually brash and confident Inuzuka had been reduced to a shivering wreck as his best friend had been killed. He could only call for Akamaru over and over, not even looking up as the blood-thirsty Jinchuriki had slowly made his way over. Kiba barely even reacted as Naruto threw him around like a rag-doll, slamming him into rocks, breaking bone and tearing flesh.
But he had finally started as the Uzumaki had gone in for the kill, taking the mutt-boy's head in his hands, and biting deeply into it, feeling the warm bits of brain against his pointed canines.
However he could only manage out a single scream of "Mommy!" before Naruto had wrenched his head to the side, spilling the contents of Kiba's skull onto the already bloody grass.
HE HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL HIMSELF.
As Naruto had viciously destroyed some of those people who he had thought friends, he had not been in control. He had been watching it all from the back of his mind. He had been tearing them apart, but it was not him. It was him, but it was not him. It was as if his rage that he had felt at Sakura had released something, and that something had killed all of them.
His eyes briefly examined the body of Sakura. She must have bled to death a while ago, judging from the copious amount of blood around her.
Naruto took little comfort in the fact that she had been unconscious as death took her, for the last thing she had seen was Naruto's warped, twisted grin as he had ripped her arm off. Naruto let out another sob of despair.
"N-Naruto-kun?"
Said boy whipped around, and was horrified to see Hinata standing by the edge of the forest where he had first lost control, taking in the gory scene before her. She looked at Sasuke's eyeless, bloodied face. She looked at Kiba's mangled head. She looked at Akamaru's oddly twisted head. She looked at Sakura's lifeless form.
And then she looked at Naruto.
He had half expected the Hyuuga girl to scream. He had expected her to cry. To run.
But he had not expected such a foul sneer to appear on her gentle face. She crossed her arms, and her usually affectionate eyes were burning with hatred.
"You're a monster, Naruto." she proclaimed, her voice spiteful and harsh. She pointed at him, baring her teeth in a foul grin. Naruto froze, startled and confused.
"You're a MONSTER, Naruto. You killed your friends, Naruto." she spat, her sneer turning into an evil snarl.
Naruto began to shake his head, fresh tears cascading down his cheeks. "No." he whispered, his voice thick with sorrow and anger.
"YOU killed them, Naruto! You are the Kyuubi, Naruto! An evil monster!" she shrieked, her raven hair flailing around wildly.
"NO!" he roared, feeling his rage once again take him over, and launched himself towards her, bloody fangs bared and his claws outstretched, itching to wrap around her throat.
Naruto quickly close the gap, his pointed nails ripping into the soft earth beneath him and he propelled himself towards her. Within a few seconds, he was so close he could see the wretched sneer on her face, his hands so close to her neck he could feel the veins pulsing, when he suddenly froze in his tracks.
The Jinchuriki felt a strange pulse in his chakra, and his surroundings, the blood-splattered rocks, the corpses, and even Hinata's hateful expression before him gave a strange shimmer.
Naruto turned his head rapidly, observing the strange, pulsing of his environment. He began to feel weak, and his eyelids became heavy, and began to close.
He tried to fight it, fear gripping him as he tried to imagine what would happen if he fell unconscious. But the feeling was too much, and he fell to the ground, the world warping and twisting around him, and he closed his eyes.
The feeling of slowly slipping consciousness quickly fell away after a few seconds, and Naruto opened his eyes. The horrible leering face of Hinata was gone, and he was now looking up into the deep blue sky, white fluffy clouds drifting across it.
The dark sensation that he had felt before was now gone, and he was back in control of his own body. As if to prove a point, he lifted up his right hand, which was now no longer covered in blood, and wiggled his fingers.
"What the hell happened?" he asked himself, feeling extremely confused, letting his hand drop back by his side.
"You were in a Genjutsu, Naruto-kun..." came the timid, anxious reply.
See? Relaaaaax! I wouldn't kill off all of the characters like that! The next chapter will explain the whole Genjutsu stuff, but for now I would like to apologize again. The ending kinda sucked. In fact, the whole chapter sorta' sucked. Lotsa' exams, y'know? But keep with me, I promise we'll be back to happy Naruto stuff again soon! Thanks for reading, leave a review if you have the time! ^_^
Oh, and in regards to the pairings you wanna see, lemme know in a review. ;3
