54 Chapter 52 : Home Again (4)

The smirk that crossed the blondes lips told the Nara that he knew he was fishing for information, hoping to rile him up enough to give away his skills, and the silence that followed was his answer.

They kept playing for another few minutes before either spoke again.

"I assume that Ino has told you about my friends?"

"...yes."

"Did you know that split personality disorder effects Jinchuriki differently than normal people?"

Seeing the confused look on Shikamaru's face made it clear he didn't.

"It's actually very interesting when you think about it, though it only effects a container of the two tails and higher. You see the demonic chakra that makes up the tailed beasts has strange effects on the host, almost mutagenic in fact. You see when they are sealed into the host the tailed beast is manifests in their Mindscape, meaning that they are literally in our head, but as long as the seal is strong they can't do anything. But if a Jinchuriki develops SPD, it changes everything."

He was so absorbed in the blonde's words that Shikamaru barely even noticed his rook being taken.

"Their chakra has strange effects on the different personality, or in my case personalities, making them stronger, more real, until finally they actually become separate beings. Each one of my personalities has something that makes them unique, powerful...dangerous. You claim that it's seven on one, but you're wrong, it's eight to seven. And I know you all, whether you learned some new jutsu or not doesn't matter because you don't even know me, let alone the others inside me. I can change my entire style and skillset at the drop of a hat, using skills never before seen in the Elemental Nations."

The silence that followed his words was almost deafening.

...Checkmate"

Looking down at the bored in surprises, his full attention having been on the blonde, the lazy Nara frowned before, without another word, got to his feet and moved to the door.

"See you tonight, Shika…"

The last thing Shikamaru saw before leaving the room was the small smirk on Naruto's lips.

Whistling as he waited outside the Titan Tower for the door to open, Naruto took a moment to examine the different security that Cyborg had installed while he was gone. Even with the revelation that he had powers; the robotic teen was determined to catch him when he arrived on the island.

He would have to try harder.

Naruto had always found it interesting that the Titans had decided to make their base of operations a giant T shaped building set on a small island in the middle of a river. It made them a sitting duck for one thing, and it was so easy to fine them. But at the same time it gave the people of the city hope, it was more of a symbol then anything else, a statement. While the ninja in him shook his head at the openness of it, he was able to understand the necessity of it to at the same time.

He and Raven had plans tonight for another date, which after his talk with Shikamaru and what was happening tonight he would have to cancel, so he decided to do it in person instead of over the phone.

The moment Gaara had heard what had happened he had offered to come along, but after a long talk Naruto had convinced him that it was his fight and the red headed teen had agreed to stay out of it…for now.

When the door opened he easily made his way through the Tower to the control/living room to find all the Titans except Raven waiting for him. They were all looking at him and the tension in the room was thick and he noticed that Terra, Beastboy and Starfire weren't able to meet his eyes. Whatever this was about Naruto knew he wasn't going to like it.

"If this is about the paint bomb trap that I put in Traffic-light-sans toilet then I just want to say that it wasn't me and you have no proof that it was."

His words made everyone in the room face fault into the ground, except Robin whose eye started twitching. But when he regained his control, after several deep breaths, the Boy Wonder locked eyes with Naruto's blue as he spoke, just as the door behind him opened and Raven walked into the room.

"Why didn't you tell us you are a trained child solider?"

If the atmosphere in the room was bad before, those few words made it even worse.

They watched as Naruto's face lost all emotion, his eyes seeming to take on an almost dead quality that sent shivers down all of their spines as the room started to get colder and colder by the second. Even though none of them were hit with the blonde's KI like all the other times he had gotten mad, this felt several times worse, like the calm before the storm.

Without turning around to look at Raven, who had frozen where she stood the moment she entered the room and heard the question, Naruto spoke in little more than a whisper.

"…you told them…"

Before anyone in the room could speak, Naruto disappeared in a flash of light without trace.
