Chapter 3: Power
?
?
Do you realize what you've done?! You've went against our Leader's will because you were bored and wanted some idiotic fun?! The boy was not supposed to have known of this gift until years from now! Have you truly lost your mind?! A commanding voice asked the hooded man.
Quite the contrary my dear. It was far better to bless the boy with the gift early on into his life rather then wait until he had become an adult. Not only will his chakra system develop to accept the chains themselves early on, but if he gains the power to wield them to their fullest potential at a young age, he will by far be the greatest of our accomplishments...he'll become what he has desired, it's his wish after all...The hooded man's voice said in a condescending tone.
You've still went against our Leader's will you fool! Do you realize what you've done?! If he realizes what you've done he'll have your head! He had interest in the boy but not so as deep as to essentially doom the boy into an eternity of damnation! the power that the chain's possess are far too overwhelming for a boy at his age! let alone someone who still is as underdeveloped as he is currently!
I'm well aware of what our God says. I am fully prepared to accept the consequences for my actions if something does go wrong. Just remember that I would not do something as so foolish as to just merely gift the boy something that he wouldn't gain the power to fully possess at some point. I may overkill expectations at times but do not think of me as incompetent when it comes to a situation like this...While I'd admit my boredom got the best of me, He still is an incredible candidate. He has Uzumaki blood within him, and will naturally find a way to wield the chains to his will. He has incredible chakra reserves far beyond the norm of what is often seen, and he also possesses the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox within him as well. He is almost certainly the best choice for what is to come in the future...
Damn it...even through that I still believe you are a complete fool...I find it even more idiotic that you consider Leader-sama to be a god. I am not so as to deluded as to think he is godly being for the power he possesses. You treat humans like lesser beings even though we ourselves are humans that are blessed with the power of . I am not deluded enough to believe our Leader is a god no matter how faithful and loyal I am to him, nor am I deluded enough to actually believe we ourselves are that much different from humans. I wouldn't be surprised if the power has somehow corrupted the few brain cell's you seem to have, but It'd be best If you actually thought about the consequences of something before doing it! The being screamed angrily at him
Ugh...Do not be so naive . It is quite obvious that our Leader would not be accepting of the circumstances so I simply curved his orders for something favorable that will surely aid him in the future, If the consequences come to bite me back then so be it, If they succeed in the fashion that they almost certainly will, Then true prosperity will come...
Whatever, do what you wish but don't say I didn't warn you when the time comes... Regardless I hope you realize the action that you've done and how stupid your action is...I hope you have a plan for what you intend to do... The being said as it walked away.
No worries...A plan won't be necessary...I'll bet my very pride and honor on it... The hooded being said in complete confidence.
Naruto Uzumaki "The Future Hero"
A bright ray of sunlight shot through the windows of Konoha, signifying the start of a new day. Villagers woke up as they began their daily routines, some managing their children's needs, other's going to run their shops or stores, other's simply kept sleeping not wishing to get up even though they'd still end up getting up, those extra few minutes in the bed was all they needed.
Through all that, a young blonde troublemaker slowly raised his head up from his sleep as he stretched his body. While slowly widening his eyes he took the blanket off his body while putting on his clothes and getting himself for the day ahead of him. After all, Today was the day of the exam that would determine the fate's of those for graduation. Alright he might have slacked off for most of the year and remembered nearly nothing over the year, he was still determined to succeed! He had faith in his abilities and he felt completely ready for what was to come!...Except if they tested on Bunshin's...Naruto still didn't have the hang of that damn jutsu, Every time he used the jutsu It always spawned a dead Bunshin version of him. Through his thinking of what would come he would finish the ramen bowl and proceeded to make his way to the door to head to the academy until he caught notice of the chains that lied on his coffee table.
"Looks like that thing with the weird guy actually did happen...I tried to not think of it but even then..." Naruto said to himself while scratching his head
While staring at the chains, he remembered that the man said something about lifting up the chain's for at least 5 seconds every day for an indefinite period of time until he had felt accustomed to it. He took a few steps sat down and took a breath. The last time he held this thing for what was about a second he felt like he would die, It's power was so overwhelming that holding it for 5 seconds sounded like the worst torture one could do.
"Man...I don't want to do this but I guess it wouldn't hurt...not really it's gonna hurt a lot who am I kidding..." Naruto said while sweatdropping.
Naruto sat down, held his breath, and his eye's closed. He waited for a few seconds then grabbed the chain with his hands and-
DIE PLEASE DIE DO NOT PLEASE DIE YOU DIE COULD YOU DIE I DIE PLEASE DIE COULD YOU DIE FOR US DIE PLEASE DIE PLEASE DIE DIE DIE DIE EVERYWHERE DIE FOR DIE DIE DIE PLEASE DIE YOU MUST DIE DIE NOW DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE CAN YOU DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE PLEASE DIE DO NOT PLEASE DIE YOU DIE COULD YOU DIE I DIE PLEASE DIE COULD YOU DIE FOR US DIE PLEASE DIE PLEASE DIE DIE DIE DIE EVERYWHERE DIE FOR DIE DIE DIE PLEASE DIE YOU MUST DIE DIE NOW DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE CAN YOU DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE PLEASE DIE DO NOT PLEASE DIE YOU DIE COULD YOU DIE I DIE PLEASE DIE COULD YOU DIE FOR US DIE PLEASE DIE PLEASE DIE DIE DIE DIE EVERYWHERE DIE FOR DIE DIE DIE PLEASE DIE YOU MUST DIE DIE NOW DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE CAN YOU DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE
Naruto let go of the grasp in what he felt was immediately after grabbing it, but at the same time, It didn't feel immediate right after he grabbed it. Naruto simply backed up in sheer terror and coddled himself in absolute sheer fear. Everything about that chain felt wrong. Nothing about that chain felt right, The overwhelming pressure was there, but there was now a massive feeling of dread that went with that pressure.
Naruto could have sworn that he heard the souls of millions of tortured souls within. Naruto himself was surprised nothing had come of it besides those feelings though. First of all, Any person that actually grabbed those chains and had felt them for just a few seconds would absolutely go insane. Nothing could circumvent that, It's presence just did not belong. He himself was surprised that he had come out of that with just a feeling of tiredness most likely from the pressure, and of course massive fear and despair. Second however, If the chains were that filled with despair and fear to the point of insanity, why did he not go insane? Did it have something to do with his Uzumaki blood? or perhaps something to do with the "potential" the strange man in his dream said something about.
Even then, Naruto doubted he'd ever get used to carrying those things. Something about wielding felt so wrong and unjust to him, It was like a foreign invader that didn't belong at all. After a few minutes to relax himself while standing, Naruto proceeded to leave his house without even batting an eye to the chain that lied on the table. He really needed to think about whether or not the power that this supposed chain had was really worth the trouble it would give him, So much pain...So much suffering...It was like a living nightmare...And through these thoughts as he walked to the academy several thoughts would push into his head with one dominant one over the others.
Why him?
