Hello everyone; I'm back once again to bring you another chapter of my series. I hope you all enjoy this fic and keep on supporting me and with nothing else to say lets begin.
Fox Creek: Chapter 19
Kimiko, Ryuji, Momo, Asuka and Haru were running as fast as they could through the woods to get away from the blonde-haired boy that was hunting them. So far it has been 30 minutes and they have not seen or heard anything to even remotely give them a sense that he was near.
"Keep up everyone" Kimiko said to her 4 friends "as long as we keep moving we will be fine" she said as she looked behind.
Haru kept on looking from side to side "is this for real" he asked scared out of his mind "is this like a test or a messed-up joke" he said which got Ryuji to look at him.
"Haru shut up and" Ryuji did not finish his sentence as he heard a scream that sounded like it came from Momo. As he turned his head to the left, he did not see her so he looked back.
Momo was a few feet back and a few feet down; as her comrades went to her, they saw something that made them realize that this was no sick joke. Momo had fallen into a 4-foot-deep pit with dozens 1-foot-long metal spikes inside; Momo had spikes driven through most of her body. Several pierced her abdomen and legs; but one pierced her neck which was most likely the one that ended her life.
"Momo" Asuka shouted as she looked at her now dead comrade; Kimiko looked on in horror as she looked at the scared and pained expression on her friends face.
"Wow look at that" came a voice that caught their attention; they looked to a tree branch high off the ground and saw the blonde boy once again "not even a hour and one already bought the farm" Naruto said as he smiled down at the four remaining sound ninja.
"Who the fuck are you?! Why are you doing this" Kimiko shouted to which the blonde boy scratched his cheek and looked thoughtful for a moment.
"I don't know" Naruto said "sport I guess" he said with a shrug of his shoulders making the four remaining ninja shiver in fear. Naruto then jumped down and unslung his crossbow "now then" Naruto said "you gonna run or are you gonna fight" he asked.
Ryuji scowled and looked over to Haru; Haru seeing his look nodded and Ryuji looked at Kimiko "Kimiko run! We'll hold him off" Ryuji shouted. Kimiko looked at him with a scared expression.
"But Ryuji" Kimiko began before Haru spoke up.
"Go get out of here and take Asuka" he yelled; Kimiko was about to protest but stopped herself. Kimiko then grabbed Asuka's hand and began to run through the woods away from the impending battle.
"So brave" Naruto said sarcastically before getting into his ready position "so foolish" he said with a evil smile.
Ryuji and Haru both took out shuriken and kunai and launched them at Naruto; Naruto quickly jumped out of the way and fired 1 bolt at each of his opponents. Ryuji and Haru both dodged the incoming projectiles and ran forward to engage in hand to hand fighting; Naruto seeing this threw his crossbow aside and ran forward as well.
Haru threw a punch at Naruto which Naruto blocked; Naruto was about to counter with a punch of his own but he then had to block a kick from Ryuji. Naruto blocked the kick just in time; he then grabbed the leg and pulled Ryuji off balance.
Naruto used the moment to kick Ryuji away; he then refocused on Haru who was attempting another punch. Naruto however was quicker and proceeded to punch Haru in the throat; Haru then stumbled backwards as the punch collapsed his windpipe. Haru then grabbed onto his throat in a vein attempt to help his breathing; Naruto used this moment and drew his knife.
Naruto stabbed Haru in the stomach and quickly slashed his blade across spilling Haru's guts all over the ground. Haru fell to the ground and tried to gather up his spilled innards.
"Well mate" Naruto said wiping the blood off his face "at least I can't say you didn't have guts" Naruto said with a chuckle. Haru's body then went lifeless and Naruto refocused on the now standing Ryuji "and then there was one" Naruto said licking his knife tasting the blood.
Ryuji was now furious; Momo and Haru were 2 of his best friends and now they were gone, all because of this asshole. Ryuji then took out his kunai and charged Naruto.
Ryuji and Naruto engaged in a knife fight; Ryuji was able to land a glancing blow on Naruto's arm drawing blood. Naruto however was unfazed and slashed at Ryuji; Ryuji was cut across his chest and groaned in pain, however he ignored it and pressed his assault.
Ryuji then went through hand signs 'Earth Style: Stone Spikes' stone spikes then appeared out of the ground forcing Naruto back. Naruto smiled as this one seemed to be more of a challenge than the other boy; Naruto charged up his Kunai with his red lightning and slashed the stone spikes approaching him.
Naruto with his charged up knife then ran at Ryuji; Ryuji then used a earth jutsu to encase his right arm in stones and charged at Naruto. Naruto and Ryuji were approaching each other; as the 2 jutsu's clashed there was a cloud of dust.
Naruto was sent back cradling his stomach as he spit up a glob of blood; he then smiled as he looked at his handiwork. Ryuji had Naruto's knife sticking out of his chest; Ryuji looked down and realized that Naruto purposely took the his in order to deal a lethal blow to him.
"Good job mate" Naruto said walking over to him "you 2 arseholes bought those 2 girls a good 5 minutes" he said pulling out his knife from Ryuji "I better go catch up" he said as plunged his knife into Ryuji's temple. Ryuji fell to the ground dead and Naruto walked back and picked up his crossbow; he then activated his newly implanted Byakugan and smiled "now to do some target practice" he said as he left the area.
With Kimiko and Asuka
Kimiko and Asuka were running through the woods looking back constantly trying to see if either Haru and Ryuji would come up or to see in that blonde boy was following them.
"Keep on running Asuka" Kimiko said to her frightened friend "we got to get out of here and warn somebody" she said. Asuka looked to her friend and began to speak.
"What about Ryuji and Haru" Asuka asked "we can't just-" she began until the top of her head was blown off showering her friend in blood and gore as she saw the corpse of her friend tumble and skid to a stop.
Kimiko now picking up the pace began to run faster as she saw the edge of the forest; she ran as fast as she could and was about to reach the edge until her right knee exploded.
Kimiko screamed as she fell down and skidded to a stop as she just barely passed the tree line; "well I'll be goddamned" a voice came which made Kimiko look back in terror.
Naruto then came walking forward "this new eye is amazing" Naruto said with a smile "I got your friend from at least 800 yards and I got you at 850, man this eye is better than a scope" he said as he looked down at Kimiko who was trying to crawl away.
"I'll tell you this" Naruto began as he stepped on Kimiko's leg "I've been doing this for a long time and you are the first one to make it congrats" he said as Kimiko began to cry. Naruto then knelt down next to the girl and smiled "well" he said "a promise is a promise" Naruto said as he cocked back his fist.
Naruto then punched Kimiko in the face knocking the girl out.
A few hours later
2 Kumo Anbu saw Kimiko lying on the ground unconscious and naked with a bandaged up leg; one of them shook her awake and she woke up screaming. Once she saw who had awoken her she reached up and grabbed one of their hands.
"Please" Kimiko said weakly "help me" she said as tears began to well up.
Over the next few days Kimiko began to tell a tale of a psychotic hunter stalking and killing her and her friends. As she did not know what forest and where the crime took place the shinobi in Kumo had no idea where to start; other than some old reports from years and decades ago of similar crimes being committed their hands were tied. As the investigation ran cold and no other witnesses were found the crime became an urban legend; Kimiko who was taken into protective custody now had to live with a hard and simple fact.
The killer of her friends was still out there.
2 weeks later in Konoha
Kin was walking down the street with her groceries about to enter her apartment; as she put the key into the door, she realized the door was already unlocked. As she opened the door, she saw a pink haired girl smoking a cigarette at her dinner table.
"Kin Tsuchi" Sakura said looking at the now frightened Kin.
"Y-yes" Kin said scared of the intruder in her home; Sakura then stood up.
"I'm detective Sakura Haruno" Sakura said ushering the girl to the table "I'm here to ask you questions about Naruto Uzumaki and Ranmaru" she said as Kin sat down.
"What about them" she asked and Sakura nodded and threw down a thick envelope.
"I've been investigating a series of gruesome murders happening through out the elemental nations" Sakura explained to Kin's surprise "I believe that Naruto and Ranmaru along with one other accomplice is responsible for at least 150 murders that we know of" she said to which Kin stood up.
"N-Naruto" Kin stuttered out "no way, not possible; I- "she began before Sakura calmed her down.
"Read the files" Sakura said simply; Kin gulped and sat down and she opened up the envelope.
Over the next hour Kin read through the reports and was horrified by what she read; families butchered, women raped, caravans attacked, shinobi from nearly every nation gone missing. Kin closed the files back up and handed them to Sakura.
"I-I" Kin began but was at a loss for words; Sakura then put her hand on Kin's shoulder and began to speak.
"He's a fucking psycho Kin" Sakura said bluntly "and I need to take him down; I'm all alone in this with the only other person being the chief of Konoha's police" Sakura said and Kin nodded. "I have a warrant for his arrest; and I need to know do you know where he is right now" Sakura asked and kin nodded.
"He's at his cabin in the forest of death" Kin said scared "he gave me the groceries because I don't have a lot of money" Kin said. Sakura smiled and put her hand on her shoulder.
"Take me there" Sakura said.
Forest of Death: Naruto's cabin
Naruto and Hinata were all alone in the cabin as they just got done eating lunch "how was the rabbit love" Naruto asked Hinata as he took the dishes to the wash basin "they're a little gamey but good all the same.
Hinata smiled and wiped her mouth "it was good Naruto" Hinata said honestly "I'm amazed at what you can find and hunt in this forest" she said to which Naruto chuckled.
"Who needs a grocery store when you got Mother Natures supermarket right next door" Naruto said which made Hinata giggle. There was a knock at the door which made Naruto pause for a moment "finally Ranmaru and Sai are back with the fire breathing goats milk" Naruto said "now I can make that rice pudding I was bragging to you about" Naruto said about to go answer the door until Hinata stopped him.
"I'll get it" Hinata said getting up; as she opened up the door she had a confused look "umm… who are you" she asked.
With Kin and Sakura
Kin and Sakura were running through the forest of death as Kin was leading Sakura to Naruto's house 'Please let it not be true' Kin thought as she took a glance at a excited Sakura.
'Naruto Uzumaki' Sakura thought 'your reign of terror ends today; I will not stop until you are in handcuffs and in a jail cell' Sakura thought as she was finally bringing her parents killer to justice.
Just then an arrow narrowly missed Sakura and she dodged at the last minute; Kin and Sakura both stopped as a figure dropped down in front of them.
"Sorry ladies" Kidomaru said in his final curse mark stage "I can't let you 2 go any further; not until our master has had his revenge" he said. Kin immediately went wide eyed.
"You're Kidomaru; one of Orochimaru's elite guard" Kin said making Sakura go wide eyed.
"That's right honey" he said with a smirk "and you're gonna die along with that pinkie right there" Kidomaru said.
Kin drew out her senbon and Sakura took out a pair of knuckle dusters and got into a fighting stance.
With Naruto and Hinata
"Gah" Hinata gasped as she was stabbed though the chest by a bone sword; Naruto seeing this grabbed his crossbow and fired to bolts at the intruder. The intruder dodged and threw a paper bomb at Naruto.
The house exploded in a hail of fire and shrapnel; Naruto cradling Hinata were now outside the house that was now on fire. Naruto put his hand to Hinata's chest trying his best to stop the bleeding.
"No Hinata; stay with me" Naruto begged as his lover shivered and coughed out blood.
"N-Naruto"Hinata said through fits of bloody coughing "I-I l-love y-y" Hinata didn't finish her sentence as she fell still her eyes wide open in pain and fear with tears forming up. Naruto looked down at Hinata shocked and speechless; his princess, his first love, gone, stripped away.
"Naruto Uzumaki" came the voice of the one who just killed his Hinata; Naruto looked over and saw a pale older boy with a bone sticking out of his hand. "You have disrupted my lords plans and killed some of our most promising shinobi" he said "for that you must die" he said.
"You" Naruto said lying down Hinata closing her eyes "you, You, YOU CUNT YOU KILLED MY HINATA" Naruto shouted as he shot 2 bolts at the boy. The boy just used his bone to deflect the bolts.
"Oh Naruto" came another voice "how delicious" it said again; Orochimaru then appeared from out of the bushes and walked over to the pale boy. "Good work Kimmimaru" Orochimaru said before turning his full attention to Naruto "well brat; lets see how Sarutobi handles his favorite student killing his grandson" he said as Naruto snarled in rage and fury.
Orochimaru then produced 2 scrolls "I hope you enjoy the special gift I got for you" he said as he released a unholy amount of chakra and slammed both scrolls into the ground "Summing Jutsu: Reanimation" Orochimaru shouted as 2 coffins popped up.
With Jiraya, Tsunade and Shizune
Jiraya, Tsunade and Shizune were walking to the village until they felt a familiar and vile chakra "Orochimaru" Jiraya said as Tsunade clenched her fists.
"Shizune" Tsunade said gaining the girls attention "go to the hokage and warn him about Orochimaru and get some back up" Tsunade said and the black haired woman bowed.
"Yes, lady Tsunade" Shizune said as she dashed towards the Hokage tower; Jiraya then held out his hand.
"Come on Tsunade; I'll shushine us there" Jiraya said; Tsunade grabbed onto her teammates hand and both disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
With Naruto
Naruto who just a minute ago was in a homicidal rage was now scared shitless at the sight in front of him; just the Jiraya and Tsunade landed just a few yards away from a shell shocked Naruto and a few feet from a dead Hyuga girl.
"Naruto" Jiraya shouted "what- "Jiraya began before both him and Tsunade were at a loss for words.
As the smoke cleared they saw a reanimated Kushina Uzumaki in full jounin gear as she looked up she saw a blonde haired boy with mismatched eyes, Jiraya and her cousin Tsunade. Before Kushina could speak she heard a voice come from next to her.
"Oi Kushina? That you" came a voice that she hasn't heard in years; as she turned her head to the side she saw him. Greying red, red and black checkered shirt, black crusted pants, all he was missing was his signature hat; "what the bloody hell are you doing here" Futoshi Uzumaki said with a confused look.
Kushina felt a pang in the heart as she looked at him, even after all these years and with just a small hint of aging she could still recognize him.
"Daddy" Kushina whispered just loud enough for Naruto and everyone else to hear.
