Last time on Kushina's love, Naruto's hate
Team 7 had crossed the river thanks to a rower who had managed to keep out of Gatoh's claws. They were now walking through a forest as an odd mist began to roll in. Naruto was even more on edge; Kakashi had told him that those guys had tried to capture him…but why? He was trying to calm down when he heard something in the bushes. He immediately threw a kunai in the bushes. Sakura ran over to find a white rabbit, "Naruto, you baka, look at what you did to this poor rabbit. Man is it any wonder you are so cruel to your MPHMMH" Sakura was immediately shut up as Kakashi put a hand over her mouth. He began looking around as his eyes suddenly widened.
"GET DOWN!" Naruto dropped to the ground while Kakashi brought down Sakura as Sasuke brought down the client. Kakashi looked up to see a massive zanbatou styled guillotine. The next moment he saw a man jump on the guillotine. He had shinobi style pants, a bunch of bandages covering up his mouth, and a set of full arm warmers. Kakashi went wide eyed when he realized who it was.
"Momochi Zabuza, ex Kiri nin head of ANBU black ops, one of the seven swordsmen of the mist, known throughout the elemental countries as the Kirigakure no Kijin…what a pleasant surprise." Kakashi got into a fighting stance as Sasuke began to stand up. Naruto had managed to avoid the sword and had gotten a kunai out; Sakura had stood up and had readied a kunai as well. Zabuza chuckled.
"Sharingan to Kakashi, the thief of a thousand jutsu's, single-handedly fought off the Tsuchikage when he led an attack on Konoha…I'm honored." Zabuza snapped his fingers as three more Kiri Nuke-nin appeared. "Capture the blond…kill the rest." The one wearing a hunter-nin mask ran at the blond while Zabuza did a back flip and grabbed his sword. He snapped his head towards Kakashi as the demon brothers ran at Sasuke and Sakura. Zabuza ripped the sword out of the tree and swung it down on Kakashi.
Naruto watched as the one wearing a hunter-nin mask charged at him, with one thought going through his head, 'What do they want with me?' Naruto ducked to the side as the Nuke-nin threw a hail of senbon needles at him. Naruto threw a kunai at the nin as he pulled out a kunai knife, charging at the nuke-nin…
Start Chapter…NOW
The ex Kiri Nin ducked under Naruto's kunai and sent him flying over his shoulder. Naruto landed right on his back but managed to jump back up as he threw a kunai at the ninja. The ninja side stepped the kunai and threw a hail of senbon needles at Naruto. Naruto jumped when he saw the senbon and managed to avoid most of them, a few however managed to get in his leg.
"AAGGH" Naruto fell to the ground clutching his leg as the Kiri Nin walked over to him. Naruto placed his hands in his favorite seal, "Kage bunshin no Jutsu" and twelve clones appeared. They all charged at the Ninja while Naruto started ripping the senbon out of his leg. 'Shit, why the fuck are these guys trying to capture me?" Naruto pulled out the last senbon as the Ninja destroyed the last of his clones. He jumped away as the Ninja shoved a syringe into the ground where his leg used to be, "Hey, why the hell are you trying so hard to capture me?" The Ninja looked at Naruto and threw a set of Shuriken that pinned one of Naruto's sleeves. The ninja ran at Naruto and pulled out a few senbon that Naruto barely noticed had something dripping from them, he jumped away as the Ninja managed to get one into his arm.
Naruto leaped away, Haku was running right at him. Naruto smirked and was about to get into a fighting stance when he realized he couldn't move his arm. He panicked and had to sidestep Haku, but ended up falling over his own feet when he started to feel numb. The Ninja turned to Naruto, "I see the venom is taking affect." The Ninja removed his mask to reveal a very effeminate face.
Naruto shouted, "Venom, what venom?" The Ninja pulled out a bit of rope as he walked over to Naruto.
"I extracted this venom from a species of snake. They paralyze their prey, and then eat them alive. A small dosage of the venom can force a human to lose all feeling in their limbs. It is useful in hunter-nin squads when they wish to capture their opponents. Luckily, it is non lethal, so overdosing the amounts administered to a human is not a problem." The ninja was about to start tying up Naruto…CRACK. But Naruto managed to move a limb enough to get the ninja in the side of his face. The Ninja grabbed his face and looked at the blond, "Why isn't the venom working?" Naruto smirked at the ninja.
"I have been poisoned so many times I can't even begin to tell you how many times I have to check my food. Luckily my body has a natural filter that destroys any foreign substance, and the best part is that whatever it was that was in my body…it will never affect me again." Naruto ripped out a kunai. "Come on bastard; show me what you've got." The Ninja pulled out a kunai and a set of senbon as Naruto charged at him…
With Kakashi
Kakashi had to jump out of the way as Zabuza brought his sword down. He pulled out a kunai and threw it at Zabuza. The kunai connected with Zabuza…only for him to dissolve into water. "Hahaaahaaa, how do you like it Kakashi? Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu…very useful." Kakashi turned around to see that Zabuza had somehow gotten behind him and was now swinging his massive sword at him. Kakashi barely avoided the blade as he jumped over it and stood on the blades edge. He pulled out a kunai and made a single knife thrust at Zabuza. Zabuza smirked as he used his other hand to grab Kakashi's wrist and threw him off the sword.
Kakashi managed to land on his feet where he began panting, 'Damn, Zabuza is clearly after Naruto…what does he want with him? I can't waste any time; these guys are clearly more skilled than Sasuke, Sakura, or Naruto…time to bring it out.' Kakashi reached up to his forehead protector, causing Zabuza to smirk in anticipation…
"Ah, the famous Sharingan, I was wondering when you were going to bring it out." Zabuza brought his blade up…he then quirked an eyebrow when he saw Kakashi reach for his kunai pouch, "Do you honestly think a kunai is going to help you?" He was about to charge when Kakashi began to chuckle…
"Oh Zabuza…who ever said I was bringing out a kunai?" The hand that was right next to the kunai pouch began to glow with white chakra, causing a seal to appear on the kunai pouch, he then swept his hand over the seal, causing a white poof of smoke. Kakashi pulled his hand away from the kunai pouch to reveal a tanto…but not just any tanto…the Hakko Chakura To.
Zabuza was wide eyed, "Impossible, that blade was destroyed in the 3rd great ninja war." Kakashi raised his blade at eye level, pointing it at Zabuza…
"It has been remade…" Kakashi ran at Zabuza, Sharingan spinning and the Tanto glowing with white light…
With Sasuke and Sakura
Sasuke was using his kunai to block their claw strikes while Sakura was trying to use what few genjutsu she knew to confuse the Nuke Nin…neither of them were in the best of shape. Sasuke had gotten a small cut on his arm, but thanks to one of his kunai he was able to bleed out most of the poison, Sakura had managed to avoid some of the blows, but the poison was beginning to affect her. Sasuke was starting to tire as well. He had barely managed to avoid being wrapped up in their chain blade but managed to open a fairly large wound on his arm.
'Shit, any more of this and I am going to die.' He sidestepped one of the demon brothers as they shoved their clawed gauntlets into the ground. The other brother jumped over him and swung his claw downwards. Sasuke threw a kunai that grazed the Nuke Nins arm.
The Nuke Nin clutched his arm as his brother ran over to him, "Brother Meizu, do you need assistance?" His brother looked at him…
"No brother Gozu, it's merely a scratch." He looked at Sakura. He then looked at his brother, "Shall we finish the wench first?" His brother looked back at him.
"Indeed brother." The two looked at each other…
"Agreed." The charged at Sakura, Sasuke was too far away, so he was unable to help her. The two brothers were only a foot away from her; the one on the left shoved his claw to her head while the other aimed for her abdomen…SQUELCH. Sakura was impaled, the two brothers were about to pull them out when the girl looked at them with glowing red eyes, she smiled a massive smile as the grass below them began to grow to insane proportions, the grass then began to wrap around their legs. The brothers immediately looked around before they flooded their systems with Chakra. They watched as the thing that was in their claws turned into a log. In rage they ripped their claws out of the log before turning around to see a panting Sakura and a nervous Sasuke.
"So, a kawarimi and a genjutsu just as we were about to kill the girl…how resourceful…but enough talk, come brother, take the girl…the brat is mine." His brother got into a crouched position.
"Of course brother…skin them alive." The two ran forwards as Sasuke prepared a few hand seals.
"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu" he blew out a fireball as the two brothers used their hands in unison with each other, screaming at the same time.
"Suiton: Suijinheki" The two suddenly stopped as a wall of water surrounded them, stopping the fireball in its tracks. Sasuke pulled out a windmill shuriken and threw it at the demon brothers…
With Naruto
Naruto ran at the ninja as he brought up the kunai…they clashed their kunai's. Naruto smirked as he was about to pull out another kunai, when the ninja threw the three senbon into points in his neck. Naruto dropped the kunai as he slumped to the ground, "Damn it…what the fuck did you do to me?" The man looked towards Naruto…
"I pierced some of your central nerves, the first senbon connected to your primary movement nerves, the second senbon connected to your primary chakra network, and the final senbon connected to your central command system…if you didn't understand that then I will make it clear. I shut down your movement capabilities, I shut off your ability to use your own chakra, and I also made it so in the next few seconds you will be unconscious…THUMP" The man looked at Naruto as he lost consciousness, "Now to finish off those other pests." The man walked away…unaware of the mistake he made.
Mindscape
A set of red eyes looked at an unconscious Naruto; a massive smirk appeared under the glowing red orbs. "Looks like my container needs my assistance…how delightful." A wave of crimson chakra flowed over the blond as the demon smirked, "You should thank your father for sealing me…in a runt like you." Naruto's eyes snapped open revealing crimson orbs…Kyuubi was in control…for now…
Outside
The Nuke Nin was about to walk off to help fight Sasuke and Sakura when he felt a massive build up of chakra…but this was no ordinary chakra. He turned around to see a crimson aura begin to surround Naruto's body. He watched as the blond pulled himself up from the ground. He looked closer as the whisker marks on his face deepened; his nails extended and became claws. He slowly raised his head and snarled, showing massive fangs coming from his mouth.
Naruto snapped his eyes open to reveal red slitted eyes. The Nuke Nin began to sweat and tremble as the blond snarled at him.
Naruto swung his head back and unleashed a deafening roar, "GRRAAAGGGGHHHHHH" the mere sound of the roar sent a wave of raw chakra at the Nuke Nin, and his comrades.
With Kakashi
Kakashi was thrown back along with Zabuza as a massive wave of chakra tore through the trees and forcing Zabuza's Kirigakure no Jutsu to dispel. Kakashi was wide eyed as he recognized the foul chakra. "Oh god…is the nine tailed fox loose? This is bad' Kakashi was blown back by another wave of raw chakra…
Zabuza was actually trembling, "No way is this any of my men…is this one of Kakashi's brats?' Zabuza tried to get up but was knocked back down by another wave of chakra.
With Sasuke and Sakura
The windmill Shuriken that was about to hit the demon brothers was shot away by a wave of chakra that blew the demon brothers back. The two managed to grab the ground with their massive claws. Sasuke and Sakura were thrown to the tree line. The two were shaking in fear at the foul energy…and it was coming from where they last saw Naruto. 'This can't be Naruto…can it?' was the thought going through both their heads.
General POV
Everyone looked in the direction they felt the dark chakra as the mist began to clear…they were terrified at what they were seeing.
Naruto was standing in a crater that was made from the raw buildup of chakra. There was a red chakra swirling around him like a tornado…and his eyes were like looking into the pits of hell themselves…such hatred, anger, bloodlust.
Naruto looked around as he saw the ninja he was fighting; he took a single step forwards as he vanished from sight. Everyone looked around, the one who found Naruto was the Ninja who fought him, and he ended up getting slugged right in the face. He tumbled a few feet before Naruto crouched on all fours as he ran at the fallen Ninja, snarling with every step.
The demon brother's shunshined in front of the ninja, claws and chain out, ready to skewer the blond, contract be damned. Naruto leapt at the demon brothers with his claws outstretched. He slashed at the chain, the brothers smirked…until his nails slashed right through the chain and were heading for their throats…SQUELCH.
The ninja was terrified as he saw the two clawed hands slice right through the back of his comrade's throats, spraying blood all over the place. Naruto shoved his hands right through the demon brother's necks as their heads were severed from his shoulders. Naruto was about to charge forwards when he was tackled to the ground by Kakashi, who pulled out a piece of paper with a complex seal on it and slapped it on Naruto's head. Naruto immediately began to calm down as he slumped to the ground.
Kakashi got up to see that Zabuza and the other ninja vanished from sight. He sighed knowing that they would be back. He turned around to see that Sakura and Sasuke were staring at Naruto in fright. He looked to the knocked out blond to see that his genjutsu had dissipated. 'Shit, he must have overloaded the genjutsu with the Kyuubi's chakra…damn.' Kakashi looked towards Sasuke and Sakura, "I know you two want answers, but I don't think that now is the best time. Help me carry Naruto to Tazuna's house." The two complied and shared one last look at the blond…
'What the hell, I have never seen such severe scars.'
'Those scars…so…oh my god/ you're telling me…damn'
Sasuke picked up Naruto as Sakura found Tazuna hiding in the bushes. They set off towards Tazuna…questions on their mind.
A few hours later…with Kushina
Kushina was waiting at an inn that she had rented out to set up a rendezvous point with Zabuza. She hoped that Zabuza could take care of Kakashi; as long as she got her son back she didn't care…she just wanted to hold him in her arms. She just wanted to tell him how much she loved him.
Kushina looked at the pictures she had in front of her. One was of her husband, Namikaze Minato…she sneered in disgust as she looked at the man...for what he did to their son. The other was of her son…the one who hated her. Oh how they looked so much alike. Naruto was practically a carbon copy of his father. Those blue eyes, that spiky blond hair…even their facial features were the same. Except for those whisker marks. Kushina chuckled to herself as she traced the whisker marks on her sons face…she suddenly began to feel butterflies in her stomach as she looked at her son, that cute face, those beautiful blue eyes that were like a hypnotic pool... She shook her head of those thoughts, 'What am I thinking...he is my son, I can't have thoughts like that.' she decided to label her thoughts as observations, after all, she couldn't actually fall in love with her son...could she?
Yes, she loved him a bit more than most mothers should, but she wasn't in love with him…right?
Kushina kept stroking her sons whisker marks when she heard someone knock on the door. She turned towards the door and got a small dagger ready. "Enter" the person who entered was a young woman with blonde hair. She had a nice figure. She was wearing a standard business suit. She walked into the room and sat in front of Kushina.
"Namikaze Kushina…I am the head secretary of Gatoh of Gatoh shipping. My boss wishes to offer you a proposition." Kushina edged her hand closer to her dagger as she cautiously glared at the woman…
"What kind of proposition…may I ask?" The woman sighed before answering.
"Gatoh is willing to offer to capture Uzumaki Naruto." Kushina raised an eyebrow at that.
"Oh really, and what does that stuck up pig want in return?" The woman cringed at the harsh tone in her voice but straightened herself to continue.
"Nothing…but he is asking you to withdraw your contract with Zabuza." Kushina narrowed her eyes…
"Really, and what would happen should I not?" The woman sighed as she answered.
"He says unless you withdraw the contract with Zabuza…he will not be held accountable to what happens to your son"
…
…
…
Kushina clutched her dagger tightly, "Oh really" at the woman's nod Kushina closed her eyes…she then snapped them open as she disappeared from sight. The woman went wide eyed as she felt a prick against her face and a wet substance go down her face. She touched her cheek to find that it was wet. She looked at her hand to find it was bloody. She began to panic until she felt something cold against her neck. She looked down to find a dagger ready to slit her throat. She turned her head to look into the eyes of Kushina.
"Now listen here bitch and listen well. I will accept Gatoh's proposal to capture Uzumaki Naruto…but let me tell you one thing that you will pass on to your master." She pushed the dagger closer to the woman's flesh to make her point, "If there is even a scratch on my sons head because of your master…I will torture him until he begs for death, and when I finally give it to him I will make his death as slow and painful as possible…now get out of my sight!" She threw the woman out the door as she began to run. Kushina walked back to her chair and looked back at the picture of her son…the same feeling as before welling up inside her…
'Soon my son…soon' she took the picture and clutched it to her chest
