CH 7: The Day the Weapon was Activated [Last Part]
"D-Damn kid..."The Bijūu muttered weakly, feeling his Chakra being powerfully absorbed by his new prison.
"You know what? I'm right about something... I really am cursed"Naruto adopted a melancholic countenance "I, I simply dreamed of being equal to the Yōndaime Hokage, a Ninja recognized by all... But my life is already on track to live forever fighting for people I didn't even know, besides I received a great amount of knowledge and now I have a vocabulary that a normal 5 year old child wouldn't even dream of...'There eyes of both met "Certainly, we both became prisoners of our destiny..."
Then, the Kyūubi felt fear for the first time in a long time....
"I-It can't be..." For the second time in his existence, the fox again found himself facing those crimson eyes he hated so much "W-What the hell did the Uzumaki create...?"
Naruto also possessed the Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha: the fully developed Sharingan. And just as just 5 years ago, the Bakegitsune felt himself lose control of his body completely, under the influence of those sinister orbs that soon reflected in his own eyes.
"And both of us will be so all our lives..."
All that tangle of shadows and rusty sinister pipes gradually turned into a huge green pasture with small flowers sprouting in all directions and as far as the eye could see, with the tree that contained the Kyūubi at the center of that place...
...
Those four Ninja were struggling to free themselves with all their might because they foolishly believed that the Kyūubi had used his demonic powers to capture and then devour them...
As soon as they finished escaping from that unknown Fuinjūtsu Technique, they would finish off for good that spawn disguised as a child, whose mortal wounds were beginning to heal in the form of a kind of dark orange light that ran down his fleshy face from where he still had skin all over the area with the exposed skull, leaving the flesh and as if he had not been wounded.
Then, the little blond suddenly opened his eyes, which were no longer blue but a light lavender hue, extremely familiar to all of them. They were extremely surprised that the veins on his temples stood out in an identical way as the Hyuga did when they activated their Kekkei Genkai, the Byakugan.
"Look!" shouted a terrified Hikari, "The monster stole the Byakugan!"
"They are stupid..."From Naruto's body emerged a pulse of Chakra that easily burst his bindings without hurting him, falling to his feet moments later "Being Ninja, I'm surprised that they are so ignorant as not to be able to differentiate the Bijūu from its container..."naruto muttered, while from the palms of his hands emerged two stakes of a rare white material to the growing bewilderment of those Ninja "But thanks to your primitive reasoning, you released something much worse than a simple Bijūu in the Ninkai..."Naruto's face was filled with a dark glee "And it hurt to have half of my face ripped off, so I can't be nice to you..."
"W-what are you planning, monster," muttered Ishida, visibly terrified, as the boy slowly approached them.
"Do you know why the Uzumaki were feared," replied Saikyou Buki in turn?
Koushirou disguised the fear that was invading him with a courage that he was far from feeling.
"Anyway.."The blond began to walk slowly towards the four Ninja "Do you want to see a trick?"
"N-No! Stay away!"
Hikari Takaishi, unlike her companions, didn't bother to hide the horror that devoured her heart when she saw that thing was dying and suddenly, its wounds began to heal. She burst into tears, thinking that all the effort to finish off the Kyūubi had been in vain, so she and her friends were doomed to die at the hands of that abomination, just like her loved ones.
"Agh...!" sobbed hikari in pain as one of the strike pierced her left shoulder, causing a subtle bleeding "Help me...!"
"This is the 'human pincushion' act..."Naruto smiled wickedly, basking in the girl's suffering as he gently twisted her wrist, breaking that stake to create another one.
"Y-You're..."Jyou was shocked by that cruelty display "You're a demon...!"
-"Actually, I am a weapon, the strongest weapon..." He replied mockingly, to continue with his perverse entertainment.
Outside the cave where they were, the animals of the area began to escape from the place due to the chilling screams, sobs and cries of deep terror that were heard all over the place.
...
Kushina and Konan were in the forest, desperately looking for their little boy, reflecting an indescribable anguish in their beautiful faces when they didn't know the whereabouts of their beloved son.
When they finished their surprise to spoil him as they wanted on that special day, they went to look for him to carry him to the kitchen, as it was already a tradition in that kind of meals. Food that was soon forgotten when they realized that their little boy had disappeared....
They quickly searched around the house, only to quickly find a couple of the little boy's toys in the garden. It didn't take them long to know that he had been taken away and they immediately got a lump in their throat thinking that it could have been some Shinobi from some enemy village with some unknown purpose that they preferred not to delve into, or...
Or some Ninja from their own village had made an attempt on that child who was the adoration of both of them, as had been the redhead's greatest fear ever since that nurse had taken the little boy with revulsion to the hospital room.
Soon they found the trail of some footprints that seemed to go deep into the vegetation and both women, already overcome by the despair of not knowing where Naruto could be, followed the trail as soon as their eyes met. They ran at full speed to find a wide cave and quite well hidden by the forest vegetation, where there were still faint signs that someone had passed by there before...
They cautiously entered, in expectation of almost anything.
What they found, however, was truly disturbing: there were four dead Ninja on the spot, impaled with several white stakes of an unknown material and surrounded by several trickles of blood that fed large pools beneath each body. The crudest thing of all was that apparently they had not been stabbed in vital points and the causes of their death had been the obvious exsanguination they had suffered.
"My God..."Kushina murmured in horror, recognizing the four dead Konoha Ninja.
"Naruto," Konan began to scan the cave hastily, already overcome with despair, "shout if you're here...!"
kushina reacted and immediately seconded her friend, exploring every corner of that dark place in search of her beloved boy. Both were so focused on the task of finding out if their little blondie was in that place that they did not notice the presence of something that was placed behind them with exceptional stealth...
Until it was too late.
A blow as sudden as it was subtle at the base of both their necks left them as stoned as they were unprotected as they felt their body's reaction to a classic Byakugan attack, targeting the Tenteksu (Pressure Point) at the base of their necks to temporarily cut off their physical strength. They could not even turn to look at their attacker when they felt the coldness of metal in the form of thick shackles closing around their necks. Totally bewildered and feeling how those bindings prevented them from controlling their Chakra, they turned back only to meet those crimson eyes that Kushina knew all too well....
Normally for Kūnoichi like them it wasn't impossible to break free from the power of the Sharingan, but the subtle blow received previously and the subsequent binding that was suppressing their Chakra prevented them from even defending themselves and quickly the eyes of the two reflected those scarlet orbs of three Tomoe. With their mouths slightly open due to how brutal and effective the assault on their minds was, the two women were soon inside a powerful Genjūtsu.
"I'm glad my Kaa-chan are such good trackers, it saved me the trouble of having to lure them here..."
Naruto smiled visibly pleased as he saw the expressionless faces of his biological and adoptive mothers respectively, totally under his ocular power....
The Spiral Project was the Uzumaki's conception of an organic weapon that would be responsible for paving the way for the rebuilding of the Uzumaki Clan and in those two weeks there was a precise planning of how the world was to develop for the Uzumaki in the decades following the activation of the weapon, which would be the parent of the pioneer generation of the new Uzumaki.
But in the entire Spiral Project there was a single variant that no one took into account, so obvious that no one in that vast collective of researchers, nor the leader of Uzushio, bothered to see....
The Ultimate Weapon held the fate of the Uzumaki Clan in his hands and could literally, do whatever he wanted with the future of the clan as well as stick if he wanted to or not, to the original plan.
"We are certainly both prisoners of fate, Kyūubi..." The blond gently stroked the chins of those beautiful women under his power "But unlike you, I can decide how comfortable my prison is going to be..."
