Sinister Games Begins

"Sorry for being rude like that, guys. I've just had a lot on my mind lately. I can't help thinking how insignificant pigs like your parents bred pathetic tubs of lard like you all. If there is one thing you have going for you is that you will all make wonderful home for the rotting maggots under this academy.

You all should feel right at home there." Naruto claimed as he walked down the steps. No one said a word, but they watched Naruto walk with utter confidence. He came to the front of the door and pulled it open.

"But don't worry, I have wonderful plans for all of you," he said and then closed the door behind him. Not a second after he left did the academy bell ring for lunch time, yet...no one moved for about a minute or so after.

Meanwhile, Naruto happily took a deep, relaxing breath as the sun hit his face while he rested against a tree. Today was a good day. What could be much better? "You're stupid, dobe. But you're not that stupid. What was that all about?"

The Kyuubi jinchuuriki opened his eyes and noticed the Uchiha heir standing over him. Rest assured Sasuke, this would be the only time Naruto would be looking up at you from now on.

"And why should I have to explain myself to you, Teme? Anyway, what do you want? Shouldn't you be fucking your harem right now or something? Oh, I suppose you're still three years off from it being consensual. Tough break," Naruto claimed. He thought he heard Sasuke grumble, but the blonde felt something strike his chest.

He noticed it was a red card. His eyes gleamed. "What the hell is this? I'm not your trashcan," Naruto said, a frown on his face. He stared into Sasuke's eyes, but the Uchiha only returned his frown with a snarl.

"I don't know. Some woman told me to give it to you. Do whatever the hell you want with it. It doesn't concern me anymore," Sasuke replied. He then turned around and walked away. Once the blonde was sure the pre-adolescent bachelor was out of sight, he picked up the red card.

"Oh trust me, Satsuki-chan, this concerns you even more than your one track, peabrain mind can imagine. Now then, to deal with my...second guest," Naruto replied. He could feel the strong heart beating a couple of trees away from him.

It's pulse was much stronger than the average heart. Hmm, perhaps he should start making his riddles tougher. People were figuring them out too fast. He got up from the tree and walked away. His companion was close behind him.

It didn't take Naruto long to reach a secluded area where he was sure they wouldn't be disturbed. He felt the toes of his feet shift through the dirt of an abandoned area.

He had found himself visiting this particular place a lot. It served to remind him the end goals of his ambition. "And to what do I owe the pleasure of being a recent victim of stalking, Kiba's Onee-chan?" Naruto asked.

Hana frowned from where she stood. She did not have proof, but...the aura around the Kyuubi jinchuuriki's body had changed. It felt menacing...evil...and disturbing. His head turned and his eyes stared directly at hers. He knew where she was.

How he knew, she didn't know, but it was obvious he did. Now that she thought about it, he had taken her to a very abandoned part of the village. If she recalled this section would be turned into more marketing quarters. Debris was everywhere.

The Inuzuka stepped out from behind a corner. Naruto turned to face her, a mysterious smile decorated his face. The same could not be said for her. "Uzumaki Naruto, you're the one who spoke on the videotape," Hana accused. She was not having a good day. She had barely slept and she was in an irritable mood. It had taken her most of the night to solve that riddle.

Truth be told, Hana hadn't planned on seeing Naruto during the lunch hour. She had planned to see him after school, but after dropping off Kiba, not of her own choice, she decided to stick around. It was a pretty obvious riddle of one who understood the history of Konoha.

The only thing which slightly scared Hana was that...if Uzumaki Naruto was the one who brought her to the academy, then...how did he know about the beast inside of him? Even more than that, she felt ridiculous thinking that a boy the age of her brother could be behind this, but...it was the only route available to her.

"I don't know anything about any videotape, Hana-san. I'm just out here ditching lunch and class. Isn't that what normal boys do?" he asked. She had no argument for that question. Kiba did like to sneak out of class along with the rest of those ragtag friends of his. However, Hana was not in the mood for this little game.

"Wrong. You might not know this, Naruto-san, but the Inuzuka have hearing ten times more sensitive than the average human. Though distorted and voice changed, the speech pattern and fluctuations are the same. No matter how much they try people cannot change their speech patterns and vocal functions so easily. If this is a prank, then I'll make sure it's the last prank you'll ever pull," she warned.

Naruto was hardly perturbed. "Is that so? Well, I have been known to get away with pranking a couple of years ago. Though, there is a slight problem with your theory. I wonder if your clansmen's hearing is as good as you claim. After all, the person I gave the video to...isn't an Inuzuka are they?," He answered.

Naruto was a tad surprised when he found Hana's hands around his neck. She roughly shoved him into one of the weakening walls of a rundown building. "You probably had no one to discipline you growing up, but I'm more than willing to handle the task at the moment. You aren't a ninja yet, but there are many things I can do with a kunai without making you bleed!" Hana threatened. She pulled out a kunai from her pouch for emphasis.

"Oh scary scary. Whatever can a poor, defenseless academy student do against a chunin-level shinobi?" Naruto asked. Hana narrowed her eyes, but then a sharp gasp fell from her lips when she felt something sharp prick her throat. She glanced down and...she wondered if her mind were really snapping into pieces. From Naruto's right arm rested a blade of blood which had cut open a tiny scar to her throat.

"W-What the…," Hana never got to finish that thought before she dropped her kunai to the ground. It landed with a hard thud. She released Naruto and staggered back. She could feel her lungs expanding and contracting. Her world was spinning.

She tried to focus, but it seemed her nerves were out of sync. She showed just enough movement in her eyes to watch her former blonde victim stand before her. He dusted off his jumpsuit. His once blue eyes were as dark and red as wine...and they were just as intoxicating.

"Hana-chan...come to me," Oh Kami, his voice sounded like sweet music. It was honey to her ears. She found herself powerless to resist his call. Her legs moved slowly...almost trance-like. She walked until she was in front of him.

"Now...kneel," he ordered. Try as her mind wished to resist, her body found its knees bending. She growled and clenched, but her legs fell to the dirt with her head lowered. She looked up at him. A twisted smile marred his face. Such...a soothing voice, such a comforting voice. It might as well have been the voice of Kami, himself.

Naruto touched her cheek with his hand. Suddenly, the feeling of elation was gone. Hana widened her eyes in disbelief. She noticed that she was seated, her head low before the Kyuubi jinchuuriki. His hands felt cold, and the steel in his voice flowed like smooth butter.

"You see, Hana-chan, I have had discipline. I've had to wear it every single day of my life. Konoha made me realize that trying to be what I'm not is a waste of time. Now it's my turn to teach you...to stop being what you're not…," he paused.
