Chapter 3

Naruto and Satsuki looked around the Land of Waves seeing the disrepair the town was in, with several people being on the streets.

"It's sad isn't it. Seeing these people suffering like this because some tyrant." Kushina stated, Satsuki humming in thought with her arms crossed behind her back while Naruto remained silent

After a while they arrived at the Bridge Builder Tazuna's house where Team Seven should be. Knocking on the door the three waited a few moments before it was opened a middle-aged woman.

"Yes?" The woman asked

"Hi, we're the backup team sent to assist Team Seven." Kushina introduced, the woman gaining a look of realization

"Oh! Right Kakashi did mention another team would be showing up. Please come in, I'm Tsunami, Tazuna's daughter." Tsunami said stepping aside to let them

"I'm Kushina Uzumaki, these are my students Satsuki Uchiha and my son Naruto Uzumaki." Said Kushina, Naruto scoffing when she called him her son

"Let's get this over with." Naruto muttered brushing past both Kushina and Tsunami

Entering the living room Naruto saw Menma, Arashi, Sakura, and Kakashi sitting around.

"Oh how the mighty have fallen." Naruto commented seeing the crutches next to Kakashi and Menma and Arashi looking a little worse for wear

His comment had their attention turn to him, his brothers and Sakura glaring at him, while Kakashi merely glanced at him before going back to his book.

"What're you doing here loser?" Demanded Menma, as Kushina and Satsuki entered

"We're the team sent to assist you sochi." Said Kushina, the two scoffing and sneering at Naruto

"Well you'll be able to help Kaa-san, but the loser will just get in the way. And don't worry Tsuki-chan we'll protect you." Arashi said shamelessly looking Satsuki up and down

Naruto bristled at them blatantly eying his girlfriend. And while he could careless about what they think of him, that didn't stop Naruto's anger at being looked down on be this pathetic weaklings.

"And yet you are the ones that needed another team to back you up. So much for the sons of the "great Yondaime", guess all that training amount to nothing." Naruto taunted, Menma and Arashi's faces turning red at the insult

"Naruto stop antagonizing your brothers." Kushina scolded

Glaring at her from the corner of his eye Naruto turned on his heel and left the house, a worried Satsuki going after him knowing nothing good would happen of Naruto going off on his own.

Satsuki found Naruto in the forest knocking trees down, throwing them into the air and destroying them.

Throwing another one into the air Naruto's hand was surrounded by purple chakra surrounded his right hand before a purple blade made of pure chakra shot out of his hand and impaled the tree slicing through it.

Though just as quickly the blade vanished and Naruto feel to his knees gripping his now burned and shaking hand.

"You idiot!" Satsuki said running over to him

What were you thinking?! You know you can't handle creating an energy blade like that as you are now!" Satsuki admonished

"I was thinking I've had to restrain myself for four years from just tearing those worthless insects apart!" Naruto snarled with a murderous glare, one that actually made Satsuki flinch

She knew Naruto held nothing but hatred for his brothers. It was different than her hatred for Itachi, she once loved and looked up to Itachi, then he murdered their parents and massacred their clan, and any love or respect she had for her brother turned into a burning hatred and need for revenge.

But for Naruto he had always been second to his brothers and treated as a punching bag by them, their was never any sibling love between the three, only pure hatred.

Satsuki wouldn't admit out loud but she had always been terrified of what Naruto would become if his hatred consumed him with no one around to keep him in check.

'I don't think anyone would be able to stop him.' Satsuki thought grimly

Looking at his hand Naruto saw it was fully healed but a few tremors still went through it. Clenching his fist Naruto breathed deeply willing it to stop.

"I'm good now." Said Naruto standing but Satsuki stopped him and grabbed his hand

"No, let me see." Satsuki said

"I said I'm fi-" Naruto was cut off when Satsuki looked at him warningly

"You're lucky you can even still feel your hand. You know it's dangerous when you use the advanced version of the God Split Cut." Satsuki said as her hands gained a soft green glow

The God Split Cut is another of Naruto's original techniques, one that was pure shape transformation. The idea was to coat his hand in a field of chakra to act as a powerful blade, it took months for Naruto to get it down and when he did it was sharp enough to slice clean through a boulder. He even taught it to Satsuki to see if she could make her own improvements.

But Naruto didn't stop there wanting to create more powerful versions, so far he's only been able to create a blade of pure energy, that was more powerful than the God Split Cut and used to keep his opponents at more of distance. He called it Violent Fierce God Slicer.

Of course whenever Naruto tries using it, he damages his hand and runs the risk of permanently damaging the nerves in his hand, only able to use it safely when using the aura he creates with his Six Paths Sage Mode. His body just can't handle the power, so Satsuki made him swear to use it as a last resort, at least until he can find a way to use without damaging his hand.

Satsuki soon finished healing his hand. She had learned basic medical ninjutsu knowing it'd be good for one of them to learn it.

"There, you're luckily it wasn't anything permanent." Satsuki said

Naruto didn't say anything merely looking at Satsuki intensely. Looking up Satsuki locked eyes with Naruto. For several moments both of them just looked at each other. After a few moment Naruto raised his hand grabbing a strand of Satsuki's hair that fell in front of her face and brushed it behind her ear.

"Uh…" Satsuki said a faint blush not use to Naruto doing anything like that

"Before we left Konoha I found something that you should know about." Said Naruto suddenly while pulling out the file he took

Looking at the file Satsuki felt a sense of dread wash over her when she saw it was Anbu Weasel's, her brother's Anbu name, mission file. Turning back to Naruto, Satsuki's feeling of dread wasn't helped when she saw his expression.

*Timeskip-Five Days*

Naruto blitzed past several thugs with his God Split Cut activated. Turning to them Naruto smirked cruelly when blood exploded out of their chests before falling over dead. All around Naruto were dozens of bodies all with similar injuries. These were Gato's hired help all of whom Naruto has taken care of while Satsuki went to deal with Zabuza, his accomplice, Gato, and anyone else that got in her way.

After Satsuki had read the file Naruto gave her she had turned scarily calm, Naruto having expected her to get angry or sad learning the truth of her families massacre. Instead she just became calm, not reacting to anything that happened around her.

'Until that little brat had to open his big mouth.' Thought Naruto with frown

*Flashback*

Everyone was gathered at the table in Tazuna's house, after taking turns guarding Tazuna and the bridge and his family. Menma and Arashi were talking animatedly with their mother, Sakura was fawning over the former two, Kakashi was reading his smut while somehow eating without removing his mask, and Naruto and Satsuki simply ate silently.

"Why do you bother?" Inari asked looking at the Ninja

"Hm?" Said Kakashi glancing up from his book

"Why do you bother? You can't beat Gato no one can! You all come here act like you know anything about suffering, but you don't! You all live cushy and comfortable lives in your village, none of you know anything about suffering! So why don't you all just leave before you die!" Inari shouted

Suddenly before anyone could react or say anything Satsuki suddenly had Inari by his throat slamming him against the wall. She glared at him with her Mangekyo Sharingan blazing in her eyes.

"Little brats like you… should learn to keep their mouths shut! Genjutsu: Endless Nightmare!" Satsuki said casting the genjutsu

Not even a second later the boy screamed in agony before slumping unconscious.

Dropping the boy carelessly Satsuki turned her glare to Tsunami and Tazuna freezing them in place.

"Learn to teach your brat to keep his mouth shut, otherwise I'll do worse than simply trap him in a nightmare world." Satsuki said vanishing in a flash of lightning before anyone could say anything

*End Flashback*

The Genjutsu she had used wasn't anything to dangerous, it just trapped Inari in a nightmare world where he experienced all the pain and suffering Naruto and Satsuki went through in their lives. A sort of downgraded version of Tsukuyomi, where it feels like years in the Genjutsu but only a second passes in the real world. But it doesn't leave the victim in a coma, just unresponsive for a few days and probably some lasting mental scarring depending on what Satsuki does to them in the Genjutsu.

Shaking those thoughts for now Naruto grabbed two semi-intact bodies and pulled out two sealing tags. Placing the tags on the back of the bodies necks Naruto watched as the corpses began transforming before his eyes.

In a matter of minutes gone were the bodies of two of Gato's thugs and in their place was his own dead body along with Satsuki's. They were completely identical down to their clothing and the best part was any tests performed on the bodies would come up as matches that they were in fact he and Satsuki.

"I see your finished." Satsuki said walking up to him dragging Zabuza behind her and carrying his sword

"Just finished. He's not dead." Stated Naruto upon seeing Zabuza not having a single wound on him

"Physically he's alive, mentally however…" Satsuki trailed off with a shrug, Naruto nodding when he finally noticed the glassy look in Zabuza's eyes

"His partner?"

"I'm sure I left them in enough pieces to be recognizable." Replied Satsuki neutrally

Unlike Naruto, Satsuki didn't find a sadistic pleasure in killing her opponents. The only people she'll enjoy killing are Itachi and everyone else involved with her clans near extinction.

While Satsuki now knew the truth behind why Itachi massacred their clan, that didn't lessen her hatred for him, it only increased along with now being directed at those who gave the order. Did Satsuki understand why Itachi did it, yes she did, if the Uchiha staged a Coup that would have lead to conflict in all of Konoha that could have potentially started the Fourth Shinobi War. But that didn't mean she didn't think their could have been a better way, instead they killed all of her clan members, including the ones that had nothing to do with the Coup like the children, elderly, and all the others not involved.

The only thing Satsuki wanted from Itachi was look him in the eye and know who it was that helped him massacre their clan. Then she'll drive a Chidori through his heart.

Nodding Naruto pulled out another seal, this one a modified Explosive Seal, and placed it on Zabuza's chest. Satsuki meanwhile slashed at the disguised corpses with Kubikiribucho make it like they died at Zabuza's hand.

"Ready?" Naruto asked, Satsuki nodding as she stabbed the Zanbato in the ground

With that Naruto wrapped an arm around Satsuki's waist and shot up into the sky. While he might not be able to access Six Paths Sage Mode, he still had access to several of its abilities, such as flight.

When the two were high enough in the air they both looked at Gato's compound. Without a word Naruto made a half-ram seal detonating the explosive tag he put on Zabuza. The affect was instant as the entire compound and all the bodies were consumed in a massive fiery explosion consuming everything it came in contact with.

"That should get their attention." Said Naruto speaking of the Konoha Ninja

"Let's get going. We have a lot to do, locating the other Jinchuuriki, finding the person who summoned the Gedo Mazo, and who ever has the Rinnegan to keep summoning it." Satsuki listed

"One problem at a time. How about finding a way to seal the Tailed Beasts into something until we can locate the statue." Said Naruto wanting to focus on one thing at a time

"Very well. I believe it'd also be prudent to capture the Jinchuuriki that aren't well liked in their villages. If they aren't liked it'll be easier to take them and not worry about repercussions." Satsuki added

"Then your best bet would be the Jinchuuriki in Suna, Iwa, and Taki. Those villages either only use their Jinchuuriki as weapons or don't care about them. It'd be best to avoid the Jinchuuriki in Kumo as they're not only liked, but the Hachibi's Jinchuuriki is the Raikage's brother and can access a full Tailed Beast transformation." Katsumi said from within the seal, while she was free she could still freely enter and exit Naruto's mind, having learned the living conditions from eavesdropping on conversations between Kushina and Minato

Sometimes it was useful her previous host was the wife of a Kage, you never know what you'll learn.

Grunting in annoyance Naruto frowned at the last part, he would have loved to go against a fully realized Jinchuuriki. But he knew his limits and wasn't about to go against an opponent that could crush him.

"It'd be best to go after the Suna and Taki Jinchuuriki's since those villages only have one each, while Iwa has two." Said Satsuki after a moment

"Alright. But first what about something to keep the Tailed Beasts sealed in when we extract them." Naruto reminded

While they'd be able to seal Shukaku into an object, the Nanabi needed something stronger to hold it.

"I may have a solution." Katsumi spoke up

'What is it?' Naruto thought

"The Amber Purifying Pot, it's one of the Treasured Tools the Sage left behind. It's able to record the voice of anyone that responds to the wielder, if you're able to get the Jinchuuriki or my siblings to respond to you, you can seal them in the pot until you get the Gedo Mazo." Katsumi explained

'Great, where is it?' Asked Naruto

"Kumo." Replied Katsumi while looking off to the side and began whistling innocently

Naruto's face went blank while his eye twitched.

'Of course it is.' Naruto thought

Naruto relayed what Katsumi told him to Satsuki, who cursed silently that one of the possibly best ways to capture the Tailed Beasts was in the one village they wanted to avoid until they were stronger.

"How about for now we focus on increasing our own strength, and if we come across a Jinchuuriki then we'll capture them and figure out things from there." Naruto suggested

"That'd probably be best for now." Agreed Satsuki

While they're both strong, compared to people who are Kage-level or higher they're still weak. Naruto could only hold his Six Paths Sage Mode for a few moments before he had to release it, he still needed to practice more mastering Wood Style before it was strong enough to restrain a Tailed Beast, not to mention he's still working on a few Jutsu he want improve on, namely adding his other elements to his Rasenshuriken, and a more powerful version of Spiralling Ring.

Satsuki meanwhile needed more practice with her Mangekyo as while she didn't need to worry about going blind, they still put a strain on her eyes. She could only really use Amaterasu effortlessly being able to summon, extinguish, and manipulate the black flames. But Susanoo was still difficult to summon fully, so far she's only to summon the basic upper skeleton, if she wanted any hope of facing larger opponents she'd need to work on creating a Full Body Susanoo. She's also working on different for her Chidori, even working on a way to using natural lightning.

They both realized they had a lot of work to do.

*Timeskip-Four Days-Konoha*

Minato looked up when the door to his office opened showing Kushina, Menma, and Arashi. The Hokage noticed that Kushina looked to have been crying recently.

"Kushina, your back already. Why are you with Menma and Arashi, shouldn't they with their own team? And where are your students?" Minato asked with a frown, Kushina looking ready to cry again while Menma and Arashi scoffed

"The idiot got himself blown up trying to fight Zabuza." Sneered Menma

"And he had to drag Satsuki along with him." Arashi said with a scowl that the loser got Satsuki killed

"Wh-what?" said a quiet a voice getting the fours attention

Looking they saw Narumi standing in the doorway.

"N-Naruto-nii and Sa-Satsuki-nee, are dead?" Narumi said looking at her Kaa-san pleadingly that it wasn't true

Unfortunately her other brothers to take hope from her.

"That's right brat, the loser finally did us all the favor and got himself killed." Arashi said cruelly

"Yeah, now we don't have to put up with that waste of space anymore." Added Menma neither of the two caring if they hurt their sister with their words as both boys didn't like their sister for taking away attention that should rightfully be theirs

Narumi felt tears gather in her eyes at every word her mean brothers said. Naruto and Satsuki were dead, gone, she'd never be able to see them again. Menma and Arashi continuing to mock Naruto didn't help, as Narumi covered her ears trying to block them out but it was no use, as she couldn't block out what she just heard.

Menma and Arashi's taunting of Naruto was suddenly cut off when Narumi let loose a loud piercing scream, while dozens of golden chains shot out of her back. The chains instantly shot out towards a shocked Menma and Arashi, and impaled into their arms, legs, sides, and every other non-lethal area of their bodies, while two chains stabbed both boys right between their legs cutting away what made them both male. Both boys screamed in agony at being impaled by the chains and at the loss of their manhoods, though their screams were cut off when more chains wrapped around their throats strangling them.

Meanwhile Minato and Kushina snapped out of their shock seeing their daughter activate her Adamantine Sealing Chains and prepared to stop but soon found themselves restrained by the chains as well, though thankfully not impaling them like with Menma and Arashi. They couldn't escape as their Chakra was quickly suppressed and they knew it was hopeless to try breaking the chains, chains that are strong enough to hold the Kyuubi.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!" Narumi screamed glaring at them all through tear-filled eyes

"This is you fault!" Narumi said to her parents

"If you had just trained Nii-san then he wouldn't be gone! But you didn't you only cared about them…" Said Narumi venomously towards Menma and Arashi who both started turning blue from lack of air

"All because of some stupid prophecy by some stupid old toad that smokes all the time!" Narumi said remembering Naruto telling her the reason why their parents focused so much on Menma and Arashi

"And now he's gone. My brothers gone and it's all your fault!" Screamed Narumi her chains lashing out wildly

"N-Narumi sweetie just calm do-" Minato started only to be cut off

"NO! You aren't my parents anymore and they were never my brothers! I only have one brother and a sister, and they're gone because of you! I HATE YOU!" Narumi shouted running out of the office her chains releasing the Namikaze family

Menma and Arashi hit the ground unconscious from lack of air and blood loss from their injuries. Minato quickly went to check on his sons and get them to the hospital.

Kushina meanwhile curled up into herself crying, as not only she lost a son, a son she's neglected, but also her only daughter.

And it was all her fault.
