Welcome back everyone; I'm her to bring you another chapter of my story so hopefully you all like it. Without anything else to say let's begin.

Fox Creek: Chapter 16

Naruto, Kakashi, Jiraya, Kin and Karin were staring at the 2 groups before them; Itachi and Kisame on one side and Temari and Kankuro on the other. Naruto deciding to throw the first strike fired 2 bolts one at Itachi and the other at Kisame; both rogue ninja dodged the attacks and spilt off into 2 different directions. Jiraya and Naruto chased after Itachi while Kakashi pursued Kisame.

Temari seeing this used her fan to perform a powerful wind jutsu aimed at Kin and Karin; Karin used her chakra chain to grab a hold of Kin and throw her out of harms way. Karin then began to close the distance and aimed her chain at Temari who blocked it with her fan.

Kin was about to help Karin but was intercepted by Kankuro who sent his puppet after her.

With Kakashi

Kakashi dodged the first strike from Kisame's sword by a fraction of a inch; Kakashi took out a kunai and charged it with lightning chakra and locked blades with Kisame. Kakashi then let go of the kunai after the sword began to shift and ripped through the bandages wrapped around it.

"This is Samehada" Kisame said adjusting his grip "it doesn't cut; it shreds you to ribbons" he said as Kakashi pulled out another Kunai and charged it up again with lightning chakra.

"I don't care if I get hurt or killed" Kakashi said "as long as I take you down Naruto has a chance to escape this alive" he said as he began to swing his blade at Kisame who was dodging each strike.

'Damn' Kisame thought 'there's no source of water here so I can't perform any water jutsu; I have to defeat him with my swordsmanship alone' he thought as he once again swung his sword at Kakashi.

With Kin

Kin dodged the 2 hidden blades from inside the wrists of the puppet; Kankuro then used his chakra strings to move his pupped.

"Hold still bitch" Kankuro yelled before he dodged 3 senbon that sailed past his head "you got to try harder than that girlie" he yelled as kin cursed.

"Fuck off fag" Kin yelled "you should give up any man who wears make-up like you must have a death wish" she said as Kankuro growled in anger.

"It's not make-up it's war paint" Kankuro yelled as he shot a hail of senbon at Kin. Kin dodged the majority of the senbon but took 2 hits one in her arm and one in her leg.

Kin then began to feel her body go numb and her vision begin to wobble 'shit the senbon must be poisoned' she thought as she fell to her knees. Kin in a last-ditch attempt threw 3 more senbon at Kankuro who dodged them.

"You really think- ring,ring" Kankuro stopped what he was saying as he felt his world go blurry as his chakra strings dissipated and he fell to the ground. Kin seeing this pulled out a kunai and threw it at Kankuro. Kankuro seeing the kunai coming at him leaned to his left to dodge; only for the kunai to enter his eye socket piercing his brain, killing him instantly.

Kin smiled as she saw the puppet user fall down dead "your dodging is predictable" she said; kin noticed how Kankuro always dodged to the left, so using her bells to upset his equilibrium and make him see triple she threw a kunai to Kankuro's left as she knew that's where he was going to dodge.

Kin's eyes began to grow heavy as she fell to the ground 'at least I won' she thought as she then lost conscious.

With Karin

Karin was using her chakra chain to either kill or restrain Temari; Temari however was using her giant fan and her wind jutsu to keep Karin at a distance. Karin then dodged another wind attack and hid behind a boulder.

'Damnit' Karin thought ' I can only make my chain 20 feet long; I need to get closer in order to use it effectively' she thought.

Temari was currently circling the boulder to get a angle on Karin; "you might as well give up red" Temari yelled "if you keep fighting me you'll only die tired" she said. Karin breaking from cover ran towards Temari in a mad dash; Temari seeing this opened her fan and threw another wind attack at Karin.

Karin then stopped and used her chain to hold herself down by sticking it into the ground; the strong blades of wind cut Karin across her body and by the end of it she was covered in blood and cuts bt was still able to fight. Karin against her bodies wishes got up and began to run at Temari once more; Temari seeing this readied her fan once more only for it to be knocked out of her hand by Karin's chain.

Karin capitalizing on the moment wrapped the chain around Temari's neck and with a fast, swift motion threw Temari before pulling back breaking her neck with a loud snap. Karin looking at Temari laying motionless on the ground got up shakily and began walking in the direction that Kin went off in.

'Hold on Kin; I'm coming for you' Karin thought as she was going to find her comorade to make sure she was ok.

With Naruto and Jiraya

Naruto was currently in a heated knife fight with Itachi; Itachi was holding off Naruto with a little effort on his part. While Itachi was still going to kill the boy he was impressed by his endurance and skill; Itachi then dodged a water bullet from Jiraya.

Itachi jumped away gaining ground as Naruto readied his crossbow "Oi you bastard" Naruto yelled "why don't you just die already; you'll see your brother a lot quicker that way" Naruto taunted before he shot 2 more bolts at Itachi who dodged before launching a fire ball at Naruto.

"Insolent little bastard" Itachi said as Naruto dodged the fire ball "you will pay for what you did to Sasuke" he yelled.

"Bring it on pretty boy" Naruto said throwing a punch at Itachi who grabbed the wrist and slammed Naruto into the ground. Itachi was about to stomp on the boys head but was kicked in the side by Jiraya knocking him off. "Fuck this" Naruto yelled as his body began to be cloaked in red chakra "you want to die so bad; I'll give you your wish cunt" he said as he dropped his crossbow and pulled out his knife.

"You will be the one dying here boy" Itachi said "Susanoo" Itachi muttered as a red skeletal bdy made of chakra began to form around the clan slayer.

'Danm kid' Jiraya thought 'you are causing more trouble than you are worth' Jiraya said as he readied himself once again to re-enter the battle.

With Kakashi

Kakashi was now bleeding from the many cuts on his body. Kisame was also bleeding heavily; him being limited to only fighting with his sword because of the lack of a good water source to perform jutsu was also a problem.

"You want to give up yet" Kakashi asked through bated breaths "you don't have to die here; just leave and fight another day" he said.

Kisame chuckled "I died the day I slashed this symbol on my head band" Kisame said pointing to his forehead protector "I'm a walking corpse Hatake; I rather die in the glory of combat than die like some rat in the gutter" Kisame said.

"Well lets finish this then" Kakashi said as he pulled out a chakra metal Kunai and charged it with his raikiri; Kisame got into a stance and both men stared at each other.

Kisame and Kakashi then both rushed at each other at speeds that made them all but a blur to the regular human eye. When they passed eachother Kakashi was on the ground clutching the stump that used to be his right arm.

Kisame's sword severed Kakashi's arm mid-forearm down; Kakashi was groaning in pain as he tried to stem the bleeding. Kisame however was clutching his chest as he saw only the ring at the end of the kunai barely sticking a inch out of his chest.

"Heh… you got me good Hatake" Kisame said blood pouring out of his mouth; his eyes then rolled to the back of his head, he dropped his sword and fell to the ground dead.

Kakashi seeing the rogue kiri ninja fall let out a pained sigh as he took a tourniquet out of his jounin vest to stop the bleeding 'fucking hell' Kakashi thought 'I think I should've let Naruto handle him and I go fight Itachi with Jiraya' he thought. He then stood up picked up his severed arm and sealed away Kisame's corpse and sword before walking to the sounds of battle off in the distance.

'Hold on Naruto I'm coming' Kakashi thought as he walked weakly to his little brother.

With Naruto and Jiraya

Naruto used his red lightning attack against Itachi's Susanoo which managed to crack it; Itachi responded by slashing at Naruto with the sword of his Susanoo. Naruto blucked th attack with his charged up knife and was sent flying into a small cliff; he then crashed making a giant spiderweb of cracks.

"Fuckin hell" Naruto groaned out "I'm glad I was using the fox's chakra I would've been done if that hit me head on" he then got up and fixed his hat and picked up his knife. Itachi was about to press his attack until Jiraya came in and hit the Susanoo with a rasengan deepening the crack. Itachi swung a punch at Jiraya but missed as Jiraya jumped over it and landed a few feet away.

Itachi then coughed up blood 'no' he thought 'this fight is making my condition worse; I got to kill him now before it's too late' Itachi thought. Itachi refocused on Naruto and got ready his sword once more. 'The first strike didn't seal him because it didn't connect' Itachi thought 'but this one will defiantly do the trick' he then charged at Naruto.

Naruto seeing Itachi charge at him charged up his knife with red lightning to the max output he could do and charged at Itachi. Itachi sent his sword towards Naruto in a stabbing attack; as it neared Naruto he then threw his red lightning covered knife at Itachi at a speed to where it looked like a red streak.

The knife hit the Susanoo's armor and went through it like a hot knife through butter; the knife hit Itachi in the chest making the man stumble back and caused his Susanoo to dispel. Jiraya looked at the scene in shock; Naruto timed his throw at just the right time so when he threw it, he would be too close to Itachi for him to dodge. But the move was also risky because if Naruto didn't time it right he would most defiantly be dead from the sword strike.

Naruto began to walk over to the downed Itachi limping as his injuries were still affecting him; Itachi with his last ounce of strength threw a shuriken at Naruto. Naruto dodged to the right but saw in the shadow of the first shuriken was a second one; Naruto in a panic tilted his head down and felt the shuriken hit his forehead. Naruto angled his head to a way where the shuriken wouldn't pierce his skull but it would cost him; the shuriken stopped at Naruto's right eye making Naruto scream and curse.

"You cunt, you fucker" Naruto yelled moving over to the downed Uchiha and picking him up "that fucking hurt you bastard" Naruto said then punching Itachi in the face. "When you get to hell; tell Sasuke I said hi" Naruto said as he grabbed Itachi's right arm lifting him up horizontally before putting his boot against the side of his head. Naruto pulled up on Itachi's arm while stepping down with his leg causing Itachi's neck to break with a loud snap.

Jiraya seeing the brutality of the coup de grace that Naruto performed shuttered as to how can someone so young be so ruthless. Naruto pulling out a small medical kit given to him by Hinata began to treat his eye as he poured a disinfecting agent on it.

'Oi fox' Naruto said inside his head 'will you be able to heal this, or no?'

'No kit' the fox said 'after you use my chakra you still have a small window in where my advanced healing becomes inactive' it said as Naruto huffed. Naruto then bandaged the eye around the shuriken because he was not going to pull it out until he gets to a hospital.

'It's alright' Naruto thought 'it's just an eye; with practice and an adjustment of the scope on my crossbow it shouldn't be that big of a problem' he said in his mind as he got up walking over to Itachi's corpse; he retrieved his knife and sealed the body into a scroll and was about to go off to find his comrades.

He then heard 2 sounds from different directions. Kakashi was limping due to blood loss and still holding his stump of a arm while Karin was coming from the other direction carrying Kin on her back.

"Naruto" Kakashi said weakly "you, ok? Your eye" he said stopping in front of him.

"You're the one who's missing a fucking hand" Naruto joked as Kakashi chuckled despite the pain "Karin how're you" he asked.

"Cut and bruised" she said before looking at the unconscious Kin "she's poisoned; I don't think it's a fatal one but we should get back soon" she said as Naruto nodded.

"We got a hell of a walk back to Konoha" he said before Jiraya coughed.

"I can reverse summon us to Konoha" he said as be began to go through hand signs and summoned a toad big enough for everyone to sit on "hop on I'll get you all to the hospital" he said. Naruto, Kakashi, Kin and Karin all got onto the toad and disappeared in a puff of smoke leaving behind the scarred battlefield.

Konoha hospital 3 minutes later

The hospital ground were calm until a loud crash came from the courtyard; as everyone went to see what happened they saw Jiraya, Naruto, Kakashi, Kin and Karin all getting up off the ground and limping into the hospital.

"I'm going to inform the Hokage on what happened" Jiraya said to Kakashi as he nodded "get patched up and I'll be back later" he said. Before he left he heard Naruto shout.

"What do you mean you won't fucking help them" Naruto said as he pointed at Karin and a still unconscious Kin.

"I told you, you damn demon we won't-" the nurse began until Naruto shot her in the head with his crossbow and looked at another nurse and pointed his crossbow at her.

"You better fucking help them now before I do the same to you bitch" he said to the now frightened woman. Jiraya seeing this snatched the crossbow away from Naruto "what the fuck you doing bastard" Naruto yelled as Jiraya glared at him.

"You just killed someone in a hospital" Jiraya shouted back.

"She broke the fucking law; saying anything about 'it' is punishable by death" Naruto said coldly. Jiraya shuttered as Naruto turned around and picked up Kin and looked at the nurse "get me a clean room with 2 beds for the girls; now" he said as the nurse nodded ad ran to find a room with Naruto carrying Kin and Karin following her.

Jiraya then had the Crossbow taken by Kakashi with his only remaining hand "go to the Hokage; he'll explain everything" he said before being led away by a doctor.

'Good god what the hell is going on here' Jiraya thought as he vanished in a swirl of leaves.

3 hours later

Jiraya was standing in front of Hiruzen, Danzo, Inoichi, Anko and Ibiki in the Hokage tower; Jiraya just put down the files on Naruto and Ranmaru. It had reports from all 5 great nations and a few minor villages of various disappearances and findings from a span of 6 years; murder, abduction, torture, ambushing caravans, disappearances all seemingly unrelated. Jiraya was now looking at Hiruzen with a face void of any emotions.

"How could you let him in the village" Jiraya said softly "how could you let him continue what he has been doing; this is almost as bad as Orochimaru" Jiraya said as Hiruzen looked back at him.

"Naruto is the a useful asset'" Hiruzen responded "he's has taken care of plenty of problems for this village" Hiruzen said taking out a second stack of files. "He's taken down a drug smuggling operation, stopped a human trafficking ring, killed several shinobi who committed rape or treason and attempted to flee the village" Hiruzen as he went through the files "he is vital for this village; he does the jobs no one else has the stomach for" he said as Jiraya slammed his hand on the desk.

"He's a fucking serial killer" Jiraya shouted "225 victims that we know of; he crippled a clan head, he's a ticking time bomb. We need to kill him now before it gets any worse" he said until he felt a snake coil around him and felt a kunai pressed up against his throat.

"You will not hurt my little brother" Anko said coldly "we all have done horrible things; I killed for Orochimaru, Ibiki and Inoichi torture people on a daily basis, Danzo does his cloak and dagger shit and lord Hokage probably has some secrets to. We are shinobi we hide in the darkness and do shit that normal people don't want to do" she said.

"Half of the anbu are essentially like Naruto" Inoichi said speaking up "sociopaths and psychopaths to do the dirty work; only difference is that their body count isn't as high as Naruto because they used more sparingly" he said. Danzo then stepped forward.

"I have inducted several children in my root program who have shown signs of becoming future serial killers, arsonists and criminals" he said calmly "better for them to use those skills on the battlefield than in the village" he said.

"Jiraya I get what you're saying" Hiruzen said calmly "Naruto is defiantly dangerous ; but not to us. Over the past couple years, he has followed our rules. The only civilians he has killed either threatened him or Ranmaru, or broke the law I emplaced about the 9 tails. He for all intents and purposes has blended into society; he is our secret weapon, but we also owe him a huge debt" Hiruzen said as Jiraya looked at him like he was crazy.

"A debt" Jiraya said "what damn debt" he demanded.

"Years of neglect at the orphanage, being harassed and beaten every year on his birthday" Hiruzen said "the night he went missing he was about to be killed by some villagers but his adoptive father saved him. This village treated him like a monster when he wasn't; now he is a monster because of their actions" he said with finality.

"What would Minato or Kushina say about this" Jiraya said "what would they think if they found out their own son was a mass murdering lunatic" Jiraya said. Hiruzen then stepped forward and got into Jiraya's face.

"Minato was a fool" he said harshly "I don't know about Kushina though; but I will say this they would probably ask you why didn't you take care of him" he said as Jiraya scowled at Hiruzen.

"I had my spy network to look after" Jiraya stated "I couldn't- "he began until Hiruzen hit him in the head with his cane.

"Danzo's Root has been spying for Konoha since you were a genin" Hiruzen shouted "you were not busy with work you ran away like a coward; you abandoned your own godson" he stated coldly. Hiruzen then composed himself and spoke once more "Naruto is here and he's staying; you keep everything here a secret or else I'll put you down" Hiruzen said as Jiraya looked at Hiruzen shocked.

"You'd choose that boy over me sensei" Jiraya asked as Hiruzen looked back coldly.

"I'd choose him over you a thousand times in a heartbeat" he said as he motioned towards Anko to let him go. "Now leave here and talk to Naruto; maybe you can still salvage some kind of relationship with him" Hiruzen said. Jiraya then walked out the door and headed into the village.

In the hospital

Naruto was eating a bowl of ramen brought by Hinata; when Ranmaru was told about Naruto being hurt he told Hinata as he knew she would be worried. That theory was correct as once Ranmaru spoke about why Naruto was back she and Ranmaru rushed to the hospital to see Naruto.

"I'm fine damn it" Naruto said to a still worried Hinata "it's just a eye; it's not like I'm a cripple or anything" he said with a smile as Hinata frowned.

"Naruto you lost an eye" Hinata said "how do you expect to shoot if you can't aim" she asked to which Naruto waved her off.

"Don't worry love" Naruto said finishing his food "I can just offset my scope so I can aim with my left eye; or shoot left handed it's no big deal" he said as he put his hand up to the bandaged eye. "It does feel weird though; knowing a part of me is gone" Naruto said as Hinata grabbed his hand and smiled.

"Don't worry Naruto" Hinata said "I'm sure you will find a way around it" she said as Naruto nodded with a smile.

"Where's Ranmaru" Naruto asked.

"Oh, he went to go see Karin for a while then he went back to the forest" Hinata said "I think he's going waiting for you there" she said as Naruto nodded.

"I best get going then" he said getting out of the chair he was sitting in "the doc said I was good to go home after he bandaged up my eye" he said as Hinata got up.

"So what will you do" she asked.

"Well kick my feet up for a few days; then begin training again for the finals" he said as Hinata brightened up at that.

"Well me, Kurenai sensei and Shino are all training as well; maybe you can join us" she said as Naruto smiled.

"Yeah that sounds great since Kakashi is going to be laid up for a while" Naruto said as he moved forward "later love" Naruto said as he kissed Hinata's cheek and walked away. Hinata stood there for a moment as she watched Naruto walk out of the Hospital; once she came to her senses she walked out as well.

Kin who watched the whole interaction felt a pang of jealousy and pain 'I don't have a chance; she already has him' she thought as she waked back to her room.

In the forest of death: Naruto's house later that night

Naruto entered the house and was greeted by Ranmaru.

"Naruto how you doing" Ramanru asked.

"Fine; not 100 percent but I'm fine" Naruto said "how have you been?"

"Ok I've been training with Anko so I've been keeping busy. You going to join us" Ranmaru asked.

"No I'm going to be training with Hinata and her team" Naruto said before yawning "I've had a hard day I'm going to the man cave to sleep in there I need some alone time" he said as he opened to door to the basement. Before he could start descending the stairs Ranmaru called out.

"Oh yeah I put that scroll you told me to hang on to down there and Anko dropped off your crossbow a few hours ago" he said as Naruto nodded.

"Thanks bud good night" Naruto said as he closed the door and walked down to the basement.

Upon reaching the bottom he removed his hat and placed it on a hat stand; he then saw the scroll Ranmaru was talking about sitting down on a small table. He unsealed it and it revealed the head of Itachi Uchiha 'thanks Ranmaru' Naruto thought 'you saved me some work'.

Naruto picked up the head and moved to the far side of the room; opening a lid he placed the head into a light green liquid and put the lid back down. "Well, isn't this nice" Naruto said to Itachi's severed head "a little family reunion" he then walked back to the other side of the room and plopped down into a reclining chair.

" *Sigh* 57 channels and nothing on" Naruto said as he looked at the giant array of fish tanks of severed heads; he placed Itachi's head next to the severed head of his brother, Sasuke. Among them were the heads of Kiba Inuzuka, Zabuza Momochi, Kabuto Yakushi, and over 4 dozen other severed heads.

Naruto sat back with a hollow stare as he gazed at his collection of trophies; he then leaned back and closed his one remaining eye falling asleep as the light from his trophy case illuminated the room with a haunting green glow.

Ok another chapter done; just FYI I'm taking some creative liberties with this story. Naruto lost his right eye that's done and done; but it will go somewhere so trust me. Also the fish tanks with the heads; I got that from "The Governor" from The Walking Dead comics (because let's be honest out of all TWD antagonist he was the most evil). I am not going to go through a training arc so the next chapter will be the finals of the exams so stay tuned. Ok with all that said please like and review ; ok then Bye
