Konoha.
Naruto and his group were finally at their end destination, which was the great and mighty Hidden Leaf Village, once a home to Naruto, and now something that he looked upon with contempt and a feeling of unease. He had already made up his mind to work for Daimyo and Tsunade, but that didn't meant that he was all that happy with returning here. No, he wasn't, and now being a far more mature and grown up person, he didn't see Konoha's greatness in display before them all, but instead, he saw hidden Anbu Black Ops Shinobi, several Chunins and Jonins, all ready for things to go badly. Naruto, Pakura and Souji, having been tested by Mizu's Civil War and having learned a great deal of things from it, were now on guard, even if they didn't show it.
Along with that, Naruto couldn't help, but laugh in his mind at the fact that Konoha was actually the easiest Hidden Village to infiltrate. A tested and experienced Shinobi, skilled in infiltration and arts of espionage and stealth would have no trouble determining the best entry and exit points upon a careful examination. Use a couple of seals to hide your chakra from the sensory corp of Konoha and their radar, and you are all set. Naruto, having mastered those arts under Pakura and while working with Mizu's Anbu Black Ops, could do all of those things with ease.
Hell, he could easily dispose of those Anbu that were already watching him, as they had given away their locations so easily, back in Mizu, those Anbu operatives would've faced demotion for such lack of skill. But, Naruto did have to give credit where it was due: Root's agents did hid themselves well, very well, actually. At least someone in Konoha understood the art of stealth, but for Naruto, Pakura, Souji and Yugito, finding them all was actually an easy job.
Just as the group had passed through the gates, they were already a center of the civilian attention, gawking and murmuring amongst themselves about how the group that was sent to get Hanzo Hattori looked battered and badly beaten. Especially shocking for people was to see their beloved hero, Sasuke Uchiha, reduced to ugly shell of his formers self, crippled and broken. Absence of Kiba and Sakura was also noticed by some, with the former being mentioned by several of Inuzuka Clan members within the crowd, who also looked with shock and snarl at Hana, while some of Sarutobi Clan members looked at Mikoto with hateful glares. They were met with cold, yet terrifying eyes of Souji Okita and a flared up power of Pakura, enough to scare them off.
Kurama and Naruto were on guard, standing close to their children, who weren't very used to being such centers of attention. Naruto, even though he has a different hair style, color of hair and was wearing his face guard, did not like at all being the center of the attention of Konoha, considering all the past times when he was one. It's safe to say it had left its mark, as did Kurama upon Kakashi, Jiraiya and Kushina. She had told Naruto about the encounter upon the balcony, with Naruto deciding that it would be better off for all, he paid them a visit, to… correct their memories. Naruto was subjected to four Memory Alteration Seals, and he knew very well how to cast them, which he did with Kushina, Kakashi and Jiraiya, making sure that the information regarding Kurama stayed hidden. Did Naruto feel any sort of guilt, sadness or remorse for doing such a thing?
All Naruto felt was a small satisfaction and sweet taste of an ironic vengeance.
As they had passed through the crowd, one person did stand in their way, a person, whom Naruto wasn't actually planning on meeting any time soon, but it looks like he now had to. Tall, dressed in a black an orange jumpsuit, blond spiky hair with sky blue eyes, three whiskers upon the cheeks, headband upon the forehead. For a second, Naruto had thought that he looked at a ghost of himself, but no, he didn't.
He looked upon his own twin brother, Menma Namikaze-Uzumaki.
"Hey Kaa-chan, Baa-chan, Pervy Sage, Kakashi-sensei, you are all back!" And just as Naruto had suspected, he was a loudmouth. "Man it was boring around here without all of you. Hey, what happened to Sasuke-teme and where is Sakura-chan with Kiba? Are they being late?"
"They are not, Menma. They are… They are dead." Kushina broke the news down to him, with Menma looking shocked at those. "When we were on a mission to recruit Hanzo, he…"
"That wasn't much of a recruitment, more of a capture without asking." Naruto simply stated, already catching the eye of Menma. "So, this is the famous Menma Uzumaki… Just as I thought, not impressive."
"And you are that Hanzo guy everyone had heard here about, huh? Well, buddy, you chose the wrong people to kill, 'cause now I'll make sure that you pay for them!" Menma, without even as much as a thought, rushed right towards Naruto, already making a Rasengan with a Shadow Clone.
Naruto's family, sisters and friends already moved away from the path, while Tsunade restricted others from moving in to help out Menma, or to stop this fight. He has been driving her mad with his mother for far too long, and she wanted to see Naruto, her real grandson, make him pay. Naruto seemingly looked not amused or even interested, but that was merely the upfront as he carefully studied Menma and how he worked his ways through careful analysis. Just as Naruto had expected, Menma was far more of a brawler than a real Shinobi, fighting with his heart and not head. Plus he also seemed to lack a proper control over Rasengan, during its formation.
A grave weakness, one that Naruto made sure to rectify with himself. Waiting until the last two seconds before Rasengan was formed, Naruto unsealed a shuriken from his left wrist and sent it to Menma's clone, hitting him clean the face. And the next second Menma knew it, he was flown towards a small show on his left side crushing into there. Naruto knew, that Clone stabilizes the entire process of formation of Rasengan, and that if he is destroyed when the thing is just near its completion, the damage will be received by the caster. Menma didn't probably know of this, or Jiraiya with Kakashi had neglected to mention it to him, if they even knew of it. Either way, with just one Shuriken, Naruto already managed to get ahead of his opponent without even moving an inch from his place.
Menma jumped out of the shop, spitting out of his mouth, before he formed a crossed sign, and additional ten Shadow Clones of Menma showed up and were ready for the fight.
"So, are you ready to give up now, loser?" Menma called out to Naruto, who merely scoffed at him.
"I don't know." Naruto merely said with a small chuckle, before he disappeared from the view, shocking Menma. "Are you?" Suddenly, Uzumaki heard Naruto's low voice, and felt cold sharp steel of kunai pointing at his throat and in his back.
"H-how did you…" Menma couldn't believe that Naruto had found him out so easily, especially considering how the smoke from the Clones had covered his movements.
"Easily, now dispel those clones of yours and get out of our way." Menma did dispel the clones, as Naruto had freed him, but he didn't keep his word and tried to strike at him again, only this time Naruto expected him, catching his fist and with his left hand punching Menma in the gut with such strength, that he fell into the dirt before everyone.
"Menma! Naruto, how could you do such a thing to your own twin brother?!" Kushina was immediately at her favorite son's side, along with Jiraiya and Kakashi.
"Fighting so dirty, and with your own twin brother… If only Minato could see you, he…" Jiraiya had wanted to admonish Naruto, but it didn't even do a thing to him.
"In case you went blind and moronic, this idiot had tried to attack me with an A-rank Jutsu. I could've killed him in 7 different ways, not counting the obvious ones, throughout this little scuffle, and I had a full authority for it, remember?" Naruto reminded them all of his own status. "I am beyond your influence, as I work under Daimyo, and if anyone decides to attack me in such a manner, or hurt my family, the consequences will be far worse for the attackers than this. Now, if we are done, we should be on our way to our new home…" Naruto, his friends and family were already heading towards the Senju Compound, when a Chuunin came to Tsunade and spoke up.
"Lady Hokage, the Council has called in a meeting and is demanding your attention, as well as the attention of all those that arrived with you." Chuunin informed her. "The meeting is taking place as we speak, and they want your presence their immediately."
"Those damned arrogant… Demanding something of a Hokage? Have they lost all sense of fear now?" Tsunade asked that more of herself instead of everyone else.
"Well, better now than later, I guess." Naruto let out a sigh, as he turned to his family and Shizune. "Shizune, do you mind showing Kurama, Yugito, Matatabi and the kids where the compound is? I don't think that they would enjoy this meeting too much, especially with how official and boring they can get."
"Sure, I can do that, if Lady Tsunade does not mind." Tsunade merely nodded to her, letting Shizune and Naruto's family go, but they were stopped by two other Chunins.
"Pardon me, but Council demands to see everyone. Especially Forth Hokage's grandchildren." The Chuunin informed them.
"Someone must've already sent the word… Jiraiya, no doubt about it. Should've known he would do such a thing the moment he had the chance, and he had plenty of those while we moved." Naruto quickly deduced everything that had taken happened, as he moved to the Chunins and spoke to them. "Boys, you best remove yourselves from the path, because, unlike you, I care neither for this village, nor for your pitiful lives, and I'll be more than happy to make you move." Flaring up a little bit of his killing intent and power, Chunins immediately let them all pass.
"You three, you can kiss goodbye those jackets of yours, because from now on, for disobeying my own orders, you are Genins." Tsunade simply stated them, as she and the rest of the group headed towards the Council Chambers. "Making demands of Hokage… We'll see about that."
Konoha Council Chambers. 15 minutes later.
Doors inside the chambers opened up, and the group finally began to disperse a little, as Shinobi who had taken part in recruiting Hanzo Hattori went to Shinobi side, with Jiraiya, Kushina and Kakashi heading there as well, while Tsunade and her personal guard was heading right towards the head table. Naruto, Souji, Hana, Pakura and Mikoto simply proceeded to the center of the room, catching a bad case of hateful and furious glares from both Shinobi and Civilian side, with some barely restraining themselves from outright attacking them, namely Tsume Inuzuka and Sakura's mother, Mebuki Haruno, for they had lost their children during this mission. And their murderer was right here, just a couple of meters away from them.
The Elders looked at Naruto with a curious eye, hardly recognizing him at all from what he used to be. They had expected, reasonably in their mind, that he would remain the same blond easy to fool and use kid, but instead… To find out that one of the most dangerous Ronins in all Elemental Nations was actually their own former Genin, one that they had banished and robbed of everything. The information from Jiraiya also indicated that Naruto was not just different, but strong, extremely strong and powerful, capable of easily handling the entire group sent after him, killing Kiba Inuzuka, but not others, while also being capable of defeating one of their most prized Shinobi, Sasuke Uchiha. And from the looks at him, it was clear that their treasured Uchiha wasn't of any use to them, especially with the information that Naruto had destroyed his capability of having children. In other words, the boy they believed to be an utter failure and demon turned out to be possibly their most powerful enemy, but the Elders and Council would never admit it out loud.
No, instead they would try and get use and profit out of the boy, as they've always had done. And his children, though products of him, would serve very well for Konoha.
"Tsunade, it is good to finally have you back with us, and…" Koharu already begun, but Tsunade interrupted her speaking up on her own.
"The next time this Council starts to make any more demands towards their own Hokage, I'll personally disband it and incarcerate it's members for treason." Tsunade snarled at them all, as she took her seat. "Perhaps I should do this right now, considering how you sent an entire company of our Shinobi on a mission, which I had not sanctioned. Care to explain your reasoning behind such action?"
"Lady Tsunade, this Council is entrusted with taking care of Konoha and its welfare. Considering that our situation has been not as positive as it should've been, we, as the loyal Shinobi of Konoha, have come to a conclusion that a presence of a professional such as Hanzo Hattori would be beneficial. Although, none of us had expected that said 'Hanzo" would turn out to be one of our Shinobi…" Shikaku Nara explained his actions, as he and the others have turned their eyes towards Naruto, who simply took down his face guard, turning to face the man. "You've changed, Naruto. You were once a copy of your father and now... A mercenary who kills for the higher bidder, without any loyal friends and a Village to call his own."
"And I have all of you here to thank for it." Naruto didn't wait with the reply. "Although, it is funny how fast you've changed your opinion of me: once a demon, now a son of a hero… Just shows how hypocritical and not trustworthy you people are. As for that mercenary bit, aren't we all in a sense mercenaries, working for the highest bidder? The only difference between me and you is that I have a much larger client base." Naruto let out a chuckle.
"And have absolutely no loyalties or morality." Inoichi shot back at him, with Naruto turning his attention towards the mind walker. "One would think that after all that we had done for you, you would show your gratitude by returning back when needed most, not by trying and killing our children in cold blood. And you also dare to sully your hands with the blood of your comrades…"
"What you have done for me? Oh, I remember very well and clearly as a day what you did with my mind, Inoichi." Naruto assure him, with Inoichi paling a little. "You can thank the Kyuubi for preserving those scattered and shattered pieces for me, otherwise I would not have known just what kind of torture you had put me through with Hokage, when you first tried to take away my memories. And as for trying to kill those fools, they had showed up right at my doorsteps, demanded that I go with them, and if I didn't comply, they would use force. I had given them ample opportunities to leave, which is actually very merciful of one with my reputation, but… You should've taken your time to reign down some wisdom upon those idiots, instead of Konoha's propaganda. It would've saved them, though not all of them, probably. Those that I had killed, they most certainly had it coming to them, especially the degenerated castrate."
"You blasted demon, another damned word about my son, and I'll personally cut off your balls and feed them to the dogs for those words!" Tsume snarled and roared at Naruto, before turning her attention towards Hana. "And you… I always had suspected that you weren't a true Inuzuka, but to betray your own Clan, to let this demon kill your own brother, and to lay under someone as weak and feeble as him… I never had thought that you were such a weak willed bitch, Hana."
"And what about you, mother?" Hana spat back at her. "Did your precious son ever tell you that he and his friends had raped and beaten me to the death, just because I was loyal to Hokage instead of you? Or how about the fact that you had turned our entire Clan into a gang of rabid dogs, each ready to kill another one and just to mount every woman they see near them? And Kiba was the worst of them, as he was the first one to beat and rape me that night, and it was the Inumaru Clan, the real Inuzuka, that had saved and nurtured me back to health. And call my husband names again, and I'll show you, that I still have fangs, you rabid toothless bitch." Tsume practically exploded with rage, when she heard it all, as she leaped with her wolf out of her place and was ready to tear out the throat of her own daughter.
Naruto reacted quickly to this, as his hands instantly held in them two kunai, both of which had went towards Kuromaru, being blasted out of his hands like from a Railgun, having been charged up by lightning chakra. One second later, and the battered wolf had his skull pierced, with the contents of his brain burned out by the two Kunai, who were now firmly imbedded in the wall. Tsume reacted to the sudden death of her partner with a shock, but it was something that she shouldn't have done, as this had given ample time to Hana to close up the distance with her. She may've lost interest and her profession as a Shinobi, but she still received a proper training from Hikiba and Inumaru Clan, so she was more than strong enough to deal with Tsume.
Tsume always fought like a wild beast without much of a thought, but Hana was a different kind of an animal. Where Tsume was reckless, Hana was cautious, and where Tsume fought to prove something, Hana fought to kill. Both of them were predators, but only one was ready to wait and strike to kill and for the kill. Hana had studied Iryo Ninjutsu well, even had taken a couple of lessons from Naruto, who was one of the best medics she had met in her life. She was most interested in his own personal technique, Hand of Corruption, which was something extremely terrifying and especially deadly, if applied in the right place. And Hana was already channeling her chakra in her hand, to use this technique, or at least the weaker version of it, ready to strike at Tsume…
Until a flash of black which was Souji Okita appeared right in front of her, protectively putting himself between Tsume and Hana, with his hand on katana's handle, with its blade already pointed at Tsume's throat. Wild matriarch of Inuzuka Clan immediately stopped in her tracks, just as the blade cut a little bit of her throat, letting the blood drip down at the floor. But it wasn't the blade that stopped her, but the eyes of the former Shinsengumi Captain, which told her: "Make another step towards her- and I will end your life right here." Tsume was fearless, mostly, but even she was afraid of certain things and certain people. One of the reasons why she had made Inuzuka as they are now precisely so that she would not be opposed by someone who could scare her.
And Souji Okita was someone who terrified her. Backing down, she grabbed with one of her hands the dead corpse of her partner, sparing a single glare at Naruto, before returning to her place. The Elders, having decided that enough of the distractions had taken place here, decided to speak up, with Koharu starting up.
"Naruto Uzumaki, you have been exiled from this village due to the charges in crimes, all of which we had found you guilty of. Although your supposed death and our resolution to later absolve you of those crimes has rendered you innocent, your actions make you not a desired friend and comrade to Konoha, but an extremely dangerous threat to us and our safety." Koharu stated with status and strength, with Naruto simply looking at her with a bored expression. "The way you have attacked your fellow Shinobi, your own comrades, murdered two of them in cold blood, maimed and crippled a member of esteemed and elite Clan of Uchiha, not to mention your collaboration with our enemies on multiple occasions, and the fact that you had attacked and killed our Shinobi before… Even though we have a need of you, there is very little that stops us from putting you in the shackles, unless you decide to comply with us."
"This Council and Konoha are forgiving and are prepared to overlook most of your past transgressions, if certain requirements are met by you." Homura continued on for Koharu, while Tsunade and Naruto actually paid attention to it. "You are to relinquish all of your knowledge on all of Uzumaki Sealing Techniques, Elemental Jutsu, Ninjutsu and so forth. Any and all of your knowledge about Hiraishin no Jutsu is to be passed to this Council, for we are best suited to use it. You will share with us all the vital strategic information about all Elemental Nations and Hidden Villages you have been, including their rulers, Shinobi, numbers, Jinchuriki and more. Your children, a daughter and a son, will be officially admitted into the Uzumaki Clan under Kushina Uzumaki, as will you be, but your concubines will be considered, and if this Council determines so, they will be given to other Clans for better purposes. You will be admitted into Konoha's Shinobi Corp once again, with a Special Jonin rank and on probation for a year, under direct orders of Kakashi Hatake. You will provide Menma Uzumaki with all of your techniques, knowledge, Jutsu and information that you possess. You will also train a specified number of Shinobi in Fuinjutsu, along with teaching our Jonins several other techniques, but not before a special seal is placed upon you. Furthermore…"
"Furthermore, you can take all of those demands and requirements of yours, and shove them right up your old, sand-filled, wrinkled greedy asses, because the day I decide to go back being Konoha's Shinobi, will be the day when Hell freezes over." Naruto told them, with strength and power, not even wavering, as the Civilian and Shinobi Council roared at him, before he decided to make sure that they knew that he was not kidding.
In a single second, the entire room was filled to the brim by one of the most potent and chocking amount of killing intent, all coming out of a single person. And that person was Naruto, instantly shutting up all of the civilians, Shinobi and Elders, while Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kushina and some other veteran Shinobi who were among the elites of Konoha, felt a shiver running down their spines. And that was something of an achievement, to make the most experienced, war-hardened and strongest Shinobi of Konoha feel fear, from a mere presence of a person right here. And Naruto did just that, by mere unleashing of his KI, shutting everyone up and giving him enough room to say his piece.
"Now that you greedy lot has shut up, it's time that you listen to what I have to say to you." Naruto simply stated to them. "Like Inoichi and Shikaku have noted out earlier, I am a mercenary, and a good one, extremely good one in my department. So good in fact, that Daimyo of Hi no Kuni has decided to hire me as her personal aid to Konoha, acting as an independent private military specialist under her direct jurisdiction. And before any of you start to get any ideas, let me inform you all, that I answer to only one person, and that is your Daimyo, and, as he personal military aid to you, I am under political, military and judicial immunity from you." Naruto pointed at all of them here, before stopping his gaze at Konoha's Elders. "In other words, you old fossils have neither power nor any influence over me. Lady Hokage, as the official Daimyo's sworn vassal and direct official, is the only one here who can give me orders, but only if they correlate with my primary objectives and missions given to me by my employer."
"And what those missions may be, Naruto Uzumaki?" Danzo asked of Naruto, who simply chuckled and spoke up.
"That is something that is only for me, my companions and your Hokage to know. And since I pride myself as a professional, sharing information about my goals and missions is out of question. Now, knowing that you are not only stubborn, but also just aggressive, narrow minded and arrogant when it comes to matters of your wretched Konoha and all your corrupt Clans, let me give you a single warning: if anybody, and I mean anybody, decides to try and threat or hurt me, my friends here and, especially, my family in any way, then you can kiss your life goodbye the next second. Daimyo has given me full carte blanche for exacting any suitable punishment upon anyone who decides to cross my path, and I intend to use it to the fullest if the push comes to shove." Naruto informed them, seeing how everyone was already glaring up at him and his companions, with Naruto turning his eye towards Sarutobi Clan, who were already eyeing up to kill Mikoto right there. "And if any of you have any doubts left, Lady Daimyo will be more than happy to disperse them, when she arrives within a fortnight to Konoha for an inspection and investigation of a certain crime committed by Konoha's Shinobi."
"What? What are you talking about? Why would our Daimyo have such thoughts?" Koharu was already starting to sweat bullets, with Tsunade taking charge here.
"Because Naruto, as her personal specialist, has had the insight to inform her about the fact that Sarutobi Clan here had attacked and killed an heir to the throne of Hi no Kuni, along with his wife and abducted their daughter, Mikoto Matsudaira, also known as Mikoto Sarutobi." Everyone looked shocked at this information, as they turned to the shaking members of Sarutobi Clan, with Asuma Sarutobi in the head of them, as Tsunade continued. "I have heard tales of Sarutobi Clan's integrity and loyalty to Konoha and their own, but… To kill your own blood like that, with her husband, a future Daimyo of Land of Fire, to abduct their daughter and make her into a Shinobi like, just likes this… When Lady Daimyo gets here, you can be assured, that your entire Clan will pay for doing what you had done, among other things. The only thing I am sorry for is that Third Hokage isn't here anymore, to see how he had destroyed his own clan with his hypocrisy."
"Clan Sarutobi makes a place for everyone and every member of it has his or her duty, and Hikari Sarutobi refused to do her duty to the Clan and abandoned it!" Asuma defended the position of his Clan and his own, as he glared at Mikoto. "Anyone who does so is a traitor to our Clan and is to be punished, and Mikoto here is just as guilty as her own wretched treasonous mother, having strayed away from Konoha. I should've just killed you there with your own mother, and as for that heir to the throne… No one dares to stand in the way of Konoha and Sarutobi Clan, not even Daimyo." Asuma simply stated with seething anger, before Mikoto took word.
"My parents did nothing wrong, and you slaughtered them just because of your own stupid pride. And in case you forgot, that son of a bitch right there," She pointed at Sasuke Uchiha, who was about to jump in and kill her, just to silence Mikoto. "Has killed my teammates and left me to die with a wound in the gut. Had it not been for Naruto-sensei here, I would be dead, and if I had returned, I would also be dead, either by your hand, by that Uchiha bastard's hand or because I accused to treason by this Council, who oh so favor him!"
"You damned bitch, you should've stayed dead and…" Sasuke was already prepared to rise up, when finally, Hiashi Hyuuga spoke up.
"Mikoto-san, according to what you are saying, does that mean Sasuke Uchiha has not only tried to kill you, but also attacked and killed your other teammates, including Yoshikiri Hyuuga?" Mikoto simply nodded to him, with Hiashi inhaling sharply before turning to Tsunade Senju. "Lady Hokage, as you know, such actions are a capitol treason to Konoha. And as the Head of Clan Hyuuga, I demand that Sasuke Uchiha is to be put to the sword for the crimes of betrayal, slaughter of his own Genins and fabrication of crimes."
"You can't just do such a thing!" Kushina suddenly rose up to Sasuke's defense, with Naruto and Tsunade turning their attention to him. "He is the last of Uchiha line and a son to my old friend Mikoto Uchiha. I know that this is one huge mistake and that he would never…"
"Kushina Uzumaki, sit down." Tsunade commanded to her, with Kushina doing so, though reluctantly. "Your personal feelings towards this Uchiha are well known, as well as your motherly attitude towards him, but that does not change the fact that Sasuke Uchiha has betrayed Konoha and will face justice for it." Sasuke turned pale at this one, as he looked around, as if seeking an exit, as Tsunade continued. "Anbu, seize Sasuke Uchiha and escort him to prison, where he will spend time before a trial will take place, where his fate will be decided." The Anbu appeared and were ready to apprehend Sasuke, but he managed to shake them off himself, before he roared inhumanly, having now lost everything he had and whom he was, with only his Uchiha pride remaining.
"NO! No one commands an Uchiha, not even you, Senju bitch! And you…" Sasuke pointed at Naruto, as his only remaining hand began to channel up with lightning. "It's all because of you, you damned DOBE! DIE!" Sasuke, mad from desperation and humiliation, jumped out of the table and was on his way to kill Naruto, caring not for the consequences, wishing only to destroy him here and now.
Unfortunately for the last Uchiha, as he loves parade himself around, he did not learn his lessons well enough. He didn't take to the account that Naruto was on a far greater level than he is, leagues above him, holding more than enough power to decimate Sasuke Uchiha in more ways than one. Naruto and his companions could clearly see how he was coming for Naruto's head, and Naruto already thought about a dozen ways to stop him, but… He may've wanted to see Sasuke suffer, to be broken and destroyed, before Naruto would grant him death. However, his more pragmatic and practical side told him, that he was foolish as to only punish him via a castration. No, he was a practical mercenary, and practical mercenaries like that do not let their own personal feelings take a hold of them in any way. Uzumaki understood that for as long as Sasuke remained alive, he would not only be a nuisance, but also a possible threat to his family, and he was going to let him roam free until he decided to break him?
Sometimes Naruto felt himself like an idiot, letting his petty feelings and foolishness run amok. No, he had learn the hard way, that enemies like Sasuke aren't meant to be broken and made begging for life. This type of foes, the prideful, arrogant and unrelenting type needs only one thing, and that is something that Naruto was going to give to him. Calmly opening up his palm, Naruto began to channel into his palm Lightning energy, containing in on it, the sound of thousands chirping birds began to come from Naruto. He had remembered with vivid details Chidori technique. After all, it is very hard to forget the jutsu that had nearly killed you, and Naruto had remembered it well, as well as the signs of Raikiri, having remembered them from the times of his first mission outside of Konoha. Deducing that Raikiri was a refined, more controlled and more dangerous variant of the Chidori, Naruto decided to add it to his list of jutsu, before coming up with an even better, more versatile and deadlier technique.
His left hand did the signs, while his right hand already had the Lightning energy channeled up, with the Lightnings instead of white blue becoming purple from the influx of power. Kakashi had a wide eye at seeing his former student managing to master his own technique and upgrading it, perfecting it in to a new one. Sasuke didn't even see it, as his only remaining eye was already seeing bloody red, as he closed the distance between him and Naruto, crushing the floor underneath his feet. As for Naruto's Lightning Jutsu, it was far more contained and ready to go, as he disappeared in a flash, right before everyone's eyes… until a piercing sound was heard throughout the chambers.
Right in the center of the chambers, Sasuke Uchiha, the prodigy of the Uchiha Clan, the elite and so forth… stood with Naruto Uzumaki, whose right hand had pierced his chest, destroying his ribs and the heart, with purple lightning coming out from behind Sasuke's back. For a whole second, life still remained in Sasuke's body, until Naruto pulled out his hand and let him fall down, the expression of horror, shock and terror ever present upon his now dead face. A symbolic death, being killed by the man whom he had tried to kill, and by the technique he used for the killing. Everyone in the chambers was silent and shocked at this display, before Naruto spoke up again.
"Consider this an example for you all: try and cross me, and you are dead. Now, if that is all, me and my friends will be on our way." Without even hearing the reply, Naruto and his group left the chambers, having made his point absolutely clear.
Short one, yes, but I think you will find it satisfying for you all. Sorry it took so long, I had forgotten how World of Warcraft can be addicting…
Now, why Naruto put Memory Alteration Seals upon Kushina, Kakashi and Jiraiya? Because he doesn't trust them to keep quiet and he does not want to endanger his family, plus a bit of revenge thrown into it as well with Jiraiya.
Not much for me to add, besides that Naruto did use essentially Shiden from Boruto on Sasuke.
So feel free to ask questions, comment, request, suggest and more, I'll try and answer it all.
'Till next time!
