The Path of No Return - Part 2

(Bang!)

A red sinister-looking beam of Chakra pierced through the sky, blowing away the clouds out of its path.

"Iiiii….."

"Ru…."

"Ka…"

A half-human, half-monster glitch like voice spelled out Iruka's name one by one sending shivers down Mizuki's spine.

"W-W-What.. is… that thing…" Mizuki's stared agape at the red chakra whirlpool that rotated around Naruto seemingly forming a strong pillar/wall.

____________

"Not Good," Hiruzen stood up seeing the events on the orb play out.

"Send the word!" Hiruzen shouted in the room, followed by the appearance of an ANBU ninja.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!" The agent responded.

"The village will be put in the highest state of emergency Effective immediately! Evacuate the villagers starting from the West, sound the alarms, and have all jōnin personnel head over to the forest by the West Gate. Prepare the sealing team at once." Hiruzen shouted a bunch of orders.

"Yes!" The agent quickly left to carry out the orders.

"I never imagined this could lead to the awakening of the nine tails…" Hiruzen regretted staying in the Hokage's Office.

He looked over towards the direction of all the photos of the previous Hokages.

Especially the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato.

("Sorry, Minato. Looks like I've failed…") Hiruzen thought before turning away.

…

Back in the Forest, Mizuki stared in shock at the red sinister Chakra gushing out of Naruto, seeming to be bottomless, it was emitted into the sky.

"Grrr…..!!!" A low muffled bass groan boomed into the atmosphere as Naruto crouched on all four limbs next to Iruka's body.

"Die, Stupid Fox," Mizuki shouted sending a bunch of Shurikens and Kunais.

(Whoosh!) (Whoosh!)

(Whoosh!) (Whoosh!) (Whoosh!)

The weapons headed straight towards Naruto threatening to take his life.

(CLANG!)

"WHAT?" Mizuki was shocked.

(Clang!)

(Clang!) (Clang!)

(Clang!)

All the weapons Mizuki threw were instantly lost its momentum upon contact with the chakra wall.

"RRRRROOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Naruto roared out causing the chakra spilling out of himself to stop.

*Shing!*

(Whoosh!)

The Chakra that had been released into the atmosphere earlier quickly gathered into a whirlpool around Naruto's head.

"What's happening….?" Mizuki stared in shock not daring to move a single bit, seeing all the chakra leaked into the sky suddenly pour back into Naruto.

(Whoosh!)

The chakra around Naruto started to crazily pour into himself.

("I must get away quickly…") Mizuki thought, turning around on the place he stood.

(Whoosh!)

Mizuki took off without wasting a single moment.

"GRRRR!!!" Naruto gave a low growl watching Mizuki depart, jumping off between trees.

…

(Whoosh!)

(Whoosh!) (Whoosh!)

(Whoosh!)

"Hah!"

"Hah!"

"Hah!" Mizuki panted crazily having launched off in top speed and continuing to flee with all his might.

("Looks like I have gotten away safely… But I'll make sure to keep going for a while. Damn it! I hate being forced to run away like this by that stupid beast…") Mizuki thought, cursing Naruto inside as he continued to flee.

(Bang!)

A figure in red chakra cloak appeared, crashing into a tree in front of Mizuki.

"WHAT?" Mizuki was shocked out of his wits again. However, his eyes widened even more at that moment.

"ARGH!!!!" (BANG!) Naruto had knocked Mizuki to the ground by quickly appearing before him and punching with his fist.

(Screecchh!!!!!)

Mizuki flew across the ground coughing blood out every time his body was airborne after hitting the ground.

(Bang!)

Mizuki finally landed on the ground after flying a few meters due to Naruto's punch.

(Cough!)

(Cough!) (Cough!)

"…y-you…" (Cough!) Mizuki coughed out more blood.

"Ouch!" Mizuki felt his Ribcage fragile with few of his ribs being broken. He completely lost the ability to stand-up. As Mizuki kept groaning in pain, he stopped moving around and tried laying still.

("Oh God, why is he here??") Mizuki panicked knowing that he was no longer in the condition to be able to escape Naruto.

Inside Naruto's mind, however,

Naruto stared at a huge door with bars that seemed to have locked a huge existence inside.

"Where…am…I…?" Naruto asked slowly.

"Hehehehe…" A huge voice boomed out of the cage, vibrating through the dimension he was currently in…

"Ah!…You…" Naruto pointed towards the huge creature behind the bars.

"What are you doing here?" The huge existence asked.

"You are the demon fox, the nine tails aren't you…?" Naruto asked.

(Bang!) Claws stretched out of the bars grabbing Naruto.

"I can finally try to eat you… Hehehe" Kurama laughed as he caught Naruto. However, the idea did not seem interesting, as Naruto did not panic.

"Are you not afraid of death?" Kurama asked.

"What's the point, Iruka-sensei is dead, I don't have anyone to go back home to. The people here hate me, so why should I live any longer?" Naruto asked in a calm voice.

"Ha…Hahaha… Interesting…" Kurama commented from behind the bars.

"What's interesting about it?" Naruto asked.

"Do you hate the village?" Kurama asked.

"I don't know, The people hate me. But I don't particularly hate them," Naruto said.

"I hate them, I hate them all," Kurama said.

"Is it because they sealed you?" Naruto asked.

"Yes," Kurama responded.

"I see… " Naruto nodded.

"What do you plan to do?" Kurama asked.

"Huh?" Naruto looked at Kurama.

"I can't really eat you, because, if you die, I die as well," Kurama explained.

"What? Is that true?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, I've been sealed into you after all," Kurama said.

"Ah, yeah…" Naruto nodded before becoming gloomy again.

"Do you want to destroy the village?" Kurama asked.

"Destroy?" Naruto was shocked but shook his head.

"People here have families. I want them to live peacefully." Naruto said.

"Hmph," Kurama snorted.

"So, what do you plan to do now?" Kurama asked.

Naruto looked at Kurama.

"I don't know… I always wanted to become a ninja or the Hokage of this village. But if they hate me because of your existence then I can't really do much about it. There's no one here for me, The Third Hokage, that old geezer is always busy and only meets me to hand me money, Old man Teuchi and Big Sister Ayame give me ramen… maybe Sakura-cha…" Naruto paused.

"…" Kurama.

"What do you know, there isn't anyone here for me at all…" Naruto said with tears coming out of the sides of his eyes.

"…" Kurama stared silently.

Outside, In the forest,

Mizuki's face was contorted with pain and hatred, but he also had a pleading expression seeing Naruto in his tailed beast form right in front of him.

(Whoosh!)

(Whoosh!) (Whoosh!)

(Whoosh!) (Whoosh!) (Whoosh!)

A couple of figures appeared at the same time.

"As feared, the seal is broken," One of the jōnins commented.

"Request the sealing team to arrive on the scene immediately," Another jōnin passed out orders.

"Grrr!!!!" Naruto growled lightly staying rooted to the same spot.

Inside Naruto's inner dimension…

Kurama stared at Naruto.

"Naruto!" Kurama called out.

"Hmm?" Naruto looked at Kurama.

"We are running out of time, those pesky ninjas are here. If you are planning to leave the village, then I suggest you hand control of your body over to me," Kurama said.

"Huh? Hand control of my body to you?" Naruto asked.

"No time to discuss, your body has been moving purely based on instincts and your hatred along with my chakra," Kurama explained.

"What?" Naruto was surprised.

"Decide Now! You won't be able to deal with these ninjas on your own," Kurama said.

"…"

"All right, we'll leave the village. But I'll have to take Iruka-sensei along as well." Naruto said.

"Fool! He's dead wright!" Kurama shouted.

"I don't care, I need to give him a proper burial, He's the only close one to me till now," Naruto said.

"Fine, I'll see what I can do!" Kurama frowned seeing Naruto not budge.

"Mm!" Naruto nodded.

Outside, In the forest.

Naruto's Chakra suddenly stabilized and became calm. His eyes though still that of the nine tails, became calm.

(Whoosh!)

(Whoosh!) (Whoosh!)

A few jōnins appeared right before Naruto, with kunais in their hands.

"Hehe," Kurama snickered following which, he rose (Naruto rose) both his hands.

*Sh*

*Sh*

Two chakra based hands extended out of his body.

"Run!" Some of the jōnins quickly jumped out of harm's way.

("Not so fast!") Kurama instantly extended more tiny chakra hands out of both hands and grabbed all the jōnins he could spot on the scene.

"Woah…"

"AAAHhh"

The jōnins one after another cried helplessly like fishes in a net.

("I've been waiting for this!") Kurama snickered in his mind before making a grabbing motion with Naruto's hand.

*Sh*

*Sh*

Naruto's both hands made a grabbing gesture following which, the most horrific sound echoed in the forest.

*Crk!*

*Crk!* *Crk!*

*Crk!* *Crk!* *Crk!*

*Crk!* *Crk!*

*Crk!*

All the jōnins present on the scene suffered broken bones and limbs from the chakra hands crushing them. But this was just the beginning
