Blood for the Broken

Chapter 1: A Killer

Late at night Deep in the Hidden Leaf village Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage sat going over a file that had been increasingly troubling as of late. A killer. Someone, somewhere in the village was a murderer. Killing was, unfortunately, commonplace in the shinobi profession, and yet the five great villages actually had a low death rate when it came to their own citizens inside the village walls. There were of course occasional murders with cases of cheating partners, jealous business owners, and the like yet the Leaf was fortunate to only have had two other mass killers in their history.

In the early days of the village, under the rule of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, a bartender known for his quiet yet kind nature secretly stalked and murdered ten women who were patrons of the bar where he worked. When he was caught and the investigation began it was discovered that the man suffered from delusions that made him believe that the women who came into the bar were flirting with him and that they desired him. He followed them when he wasn't working and eventually confronted each of them at separate times over the course of his killing spree. When the women, who were in truth not interested in him at all, questioned why he was following them and rejected him he abducted them, tortured them, and eventually killed them. He was the first person to be sentenced to death for mass murder in the Hidden Leaf.

Unfortunately, the second mass killer was someone who the Third Hokage was close to and believed to be a potential successor. Orochimaru, his own student, became just the second to commit mass murder within the village. Abducting children and adults alike, the Snake Sannin committed horrible experiments and slaughtered countless people in the pursuit of his goals.

Noyoko Nobu a sixty-five-year-old retired seamstress, Atsutoshi Konaga a twelve-year-old academy student, Aritsu Matsunoda a thirty-five-year-old shop owner, Satoru Nara a twenty-seven-year-old chunin of the Nara clan, and Sadatsu Nagamari a forty-year-old traveling merchant from the land of tea. They were not just a killer, they were a serial killer. The patrols found five bodies today, bringing the total deaths to nineteen. Frustratingly the Uchiha police, intelligence department, and Anbu were unable to find out anything about the killer, even after doubling and then tripling patrols, even Danzo was unable to find out anything.

No evidence was ever left behind other than the body and bodily stains. The stains, and blood, were always the victims, the body useless. The killer left each body in the same condition, mutilated and drained of virtually every drop of blood besides that which was spilled on the ground.

Typically a Yamanaka mind walker would be able to enter the mind of a deceased as long as they had not been dead for too long, however, the first Yamanaka who attempted to investigate the case was still in a coma, having been hit with severe backlash after attempting to mind walk the first victim. The killer covered their tracks well, using some unknown jutsu or ability to rot away and liquefy all of the victim's internal organs. It was sickening and horrifying, nearly every victim they discovered held pain-filled anguish on their face, their features held in agony made all the more ghoulish by the liquified eyes that pooled in their deep sockets. Given their final expressions, the victims were obviously alive throughout the horrendous process no doubt suffering excruciating pain.

Hiruzen sighed while reading over the latest autopsy report, his old bones aching as day by day his energy and spirit waned. His daily schedule was already busy enough and this serial killer only added to the stress and took more of his time. He had not even been able to visit his pseudo-granddaughter for the past two months because of the added workload.

The poor girl was horrendously lonely due to the isolation and hatred of the villagers. Luckily she remained a happy-go-lucky and cheerful child where many others would have broken. The old kage swore he would make it up to her and make sure to subtly warn her of the danger without worrying her mind with the horrifying details.

"P-p-please let me go!" Chains rattled as the woman shackled inside of them thrashed, screamed, and sobbed. Large tears slid down the woman's attractive face as terror shone in her crimson-red one-tomoe Sharingan eyes. Her black hair was a mess nowhere close to the usual professional hairstyle she wore it in. Her body quivered and shook in both fear and an attempt to free herself. Her usual nice Uchiha clan-marked clothing ripped off of her body leaving her in nothing other than her black panties and bra. Unfortunately, she was just a civilian of the Uchiha clan and knew no shinobi techniques that could help her escape. She did not even have her Sharingan activated until a few minutes ago when her fear triggered the activation of her clan's Kekkei Genkai.

The Uchiha clan with coaxing from the clan heads wife Mikoto Uchiha was told not to hate or be cruel to the Kyuubi Jinchiriki Naruko Uzumaki, she tried to at least tolerate the Uzumaki girl but every time she looked at the young girl all she could see was her mother and elder brothers corpses and let some hate slip into her attitude. Now that hate was back but overpowered by an even greater amount of fear and terror.

The Uzumaki girl always tried to play off that she was just an innocent child and not the demon fox, but she was a monster. The girl proved it now as she skipped around the dark dungeon humming a tune while carrying around a bowl of blood from what could only be the two other civilian prisoners that used to occupy the room alongside her.

Setting the bowl down on a nearby table the small seven-year-old girl had the audacity to have a wide smile across her face as she…. urk… as she licked the blood off of her hands. This definitely wasn't an innocent girl but a monster.

"Hmmn hmmn hmmn. But that just won't do you know!" The demon smiled while blood dripped from those vampire-like canine fangs that stuck out of the side of her lips, an almost crazed look in her slit pupil eyes. Making her even more disturbing to look at was the blush that took residence on her cheeks and the various blood splatters on her small sundress. "Hehehe. Silly. Silly. I wouldn't get to have any fun with you if I let you go. Awww do you not want to play with me…"

A pout formed on her face looking especially disturbing alongside the blood. "I want to play with you! It will be so much fun! Oooh and I get your yummy yummy blood and ohm that tasty chakra too as a reward at the end of the game! My two playmates from before were not that fun to play with… they stopped working too quickly and barely had enough chakra for a snack."

The Uchiha woman squirmed in her chains as the young blond dunked her hands in the bowl of blood before sticking the red-coated fingers into her mouth. A massive blush appeared on the girl's face and she let out a squeal. "Ooh, it's good! So tasty! Drenched with fear!" A smile of bliss appeared on the pigtailed girl's face as she clapped her bloody hands on her cheeks and wiggled her small body.

Placing her hands on the sides of the bowl Naruko licked her lips. "Itadakimasu!" Bile rose up the back of the Uchiha woman's throat as the child picked up the bowl of crimson liquid and began chugging down its contents.

Finishing the bowl the girl released a small burp. "Urp. Excuse me. Hehehe. So good!" Her blush declined for a moment as a disappointed frown made its way onto the seven-year-olds face. "Mou…. Tasty but not that filling. Ugh, why do these tasty snacks have to be so unfulfilling? Oooh, wait! We haven't played any games yet, have we? Hehe so silly I almost forgot!"

Tears glimmered in crimson Sharingan eyes as the blond skipped towards her with a smile on her face. "Ooh ooh, I saw some kids playing this game called "I Spy" at the park the other day, it looked really fun but they wouldn't let me play with them…. We should play it! It looks so cool, you know!"

A large smile appeared on the young girl's face as she leaned in toward the bound woman. "I get to go first ok! I spy with my little eye… Hehehe your veins!" The black-haired woman screamed as the girl stabbed a straw into the side of her neck.

Screams of terror rang out from the woman as the young blonde began sucking on the straw while blushing heavily. After a moment the girl backed away from the straw with blood and drool running from her open mouth. "Oooh so good! So much better than those other friends! I've never had blood from you, red swirly-eyed people, before. It's delicious!" The pressure from the straw resumed as the girl began sucking even faster.

Shaking in terror, the Uchiha tried to do anything she could to get free. Managing to get just the slightest bit of extra movement she was able to hip-check the girl away from her causing the girl and the straw to fall to the ground.

"What… grrrr do you not want to play anymore! We were having fun! Jiji says it's not nice to hit your friends! If you are gonna be a big meany like that I guess we'll just have to skip playtime and go to dinner instead!" The young whiskered girl got to her feet and glared angrily at the chained woman.

With a growl and a fast lunge, the girl whipped out a large kitchen knife, from who knows where and sliced open a decently deep slash on the Uchiha's stomach. Screaming and crying in pain the woman begged for her life, for the torment to stop, and for forgiveness.

Quickly picking up the still bloody bowl and placing it under the bleeding slash Naruko stared in a trancelike state at the crimson liquid flowing from the older woman's stomach. "Look at it. It just looks so good, rich and dark, it has a spicy hot flavor to it too! Oumh hehe, it's just so beautiful don't you think?"

Shivering in fear and beginning to feel a little light-headed, the Uchiha woman could only cry and stare at the small girl as she felt the river of blood low down her lower stomach. As the blood loss caught up to her her vision began to go hazy. Unexpectedly right before she passed out she felt a soothing feeling rush through her system.

Looking down she saw the Uzumaki holding the now full bowl with one hand while the other was placed against her cut-open belly. She did not understand what was happening yet was all too happy for the brief feeling of relief that she was experiencing as she watched her open cut seal itself up with a faint golden glow. As she hung from her chains feeling better but still loopy she breathed heavily as the seven-year-old walked away from her and carried the full bowl to the table nearby.

"If I had known that you were so tasty I would have brought bigger containers… oh well there are lots of other swirly eyes in the village that should taste good too." Carefully picking up the bowl once again Naruko poured the thick fluid into the water bottles that sat on the table. "Hehe, this should last a bit, nice and tasty leftovers to save for a rainy day. I want to remember this flavor." As she filled and capped the blood-filled bottles she hummed a cheery tune being careful to make sure she spilled as little as possible.

"P-please let me go… you've got my blood an-and I swear I won't tell anyone! You'll let me go right? Please g-go get one of the Uchiha police and tell them you found me here and brought them to help me. I'll go along with it, I swear. I'll lie and you… you will be a hero who rescued a member of the Uchiha clan, they will help you make some friends, that's what you want, right? Or money, anything! Please." Trying once again to beg for her life, the Uchiha flinched when the blonde turned to look at her.

Setting down the now empty bowl and capping the final bottle Naruko skipped back over towards the chained woman with a beaming, if not blood-stained, smile on her face. "Let you go… but you were so mean. You didn't want to play, just like everyone else…" As she spoke she tugged on the hanging chains, dragging the woman down to her knees. Her smile now gone, with a frown where it once was the small girl spoke quietly in a sad whisper. "Besides, no one would ever help me…"

The dark and abandoned room was filled with a deafening scream as in a flash the little girl bit down on the neck of the imprisoned woman. The pain… was excruciating. As she shook and fought to try and get away the Uchiha felt the girl's sharp teeth piercing her neck, felt her blood being drained from her, and most painfully of all felt something rushing into her body to take the blood's place.

Naruko moaned in pleasure as blood flooded her throat, the taste rich and significantly more fulfilling than any that she had had before. As she drank her fill, crimson red energy exited through her canines and entered the Uchiha's body.

Blood loss was devastating enough but yet it was overshadowed by an even greater damage. As more and more blood was drained from her body the pain she was experiencing grew exponentially, it felt like her body was burning or melting.

Unbeknownst to her it really was. The crimson energy that was flowing inside of her took the place of her blood, flowing throughout her entire body. As it did it ripped, tore, and burned its way through her insides, like acid it began to liquefy each organ.

Eventually, the woman's screams and struggle came to an end as the last drop of blood that she possessed was sucked down by the small blonde. As the girl released the woman's throat and backed away from the now very much dead body she released a happy sigh while gleefully rubbing her whiskered cheeks with her hands.

With a final crimson glimmer, the woman's eyes melted and dribbled to the floor before her now husk of a body fell from the chains, her shriveled form slipping out of the manacles and hitting the ground with a dull splat.

Licking her lips and in her own little world Naruko giggled happily while rubbing her pleasantly full stomach. "Delicious. Hehehe."

Contrary to the lively atmosphere of the daytime, nights in the Hidden Leaf were much calmer with much less foot traffic and noise. With no one around a figure slipped out of one of the shadowy alleys before beginning to casually stroll down the road.

Carrying a small wicker basket the feminine figure walked with a casual pace, her silky black hair flowing over her shoulders. Humming a light tune quietly to herself the woman walked down the road without a care in the world as the basket's contents quietly sloshed with her steps. Occasionally brushing off and fiddling with her finely crafted clothing, the Uchiha clan symbol glinted lightly in the bright moonlight. "What a beautiful day, you know."
