Bawl

I did not deign to look at my enemies. I could feel them ... after all I was the Guardian of this place, I was part of it.

I raised my hands closing my eyes as a gentle wind swirled around me, shaking my shirt and leaving Kurama's mark in view. I was not going to fight with everything I had, I was going to try to scare them away to put a barrier around my home and end this as peacefully as possible.

Was he going to get it?

I had no idea but I didn't want any more blood staining my hands.

We had all suffered enough.

A torrent of bluish butterflies was seen as soon as the wind disappeared, at first I saw their mocking faces but as soon as they tried to attack me my little blue ones made of chackra stood in their way, like a sweet poison they made them close their eyes and give half back in a state of half sleepwalking.

Their destination was "home", that place to which they belonged.

Not my forest.

It was working perfectly until Kakashi and Sasuke intervened, with the sharingan they managed to volatilize my little creations. I looked into their eyes.

- Why?

- This is a sacred land, the village grows and the forest is a safe bet ... even if we have to destroy it.

Even a sad look made the hearts of the attackers left on the battlefield waver ...

I would have no choice but to get serious.

I was going to fight, to stain my hands with blood again ... to save our Forest ... from Kurama and myself.

The first few moments were easy, but there were too many. Everyone was attacking at the same time, our home was destroyed. The land was infertile from the fire attacks of those beasts, the plants recoiled in fear and the animals fled in panic.

I didn't want to get out of control again, if I did the consequences could be devastating ... for everyone.

I gathered all my concentration and made another swirl of wind cover me, from it came hundreds of butterflies, blue rays and terrible waves of fire.

But they did not back down, no matter what I did, I was alone and they would get up again and again, awaken those who were under the spell of my butterflies. Then I understood ... There was no other option, I had to break the balance.

I would let my dark side out.

I made the whirlpool stop. The battlefield was silent, my enemies watched me uneasily. Silent.

- Have you finally decided to give up? - Sasuke said with a tone of superiority more than irritating in his voice.

My skin glowed strangely.

I felt how they recoiled, scared, noticing my energy. I opened my eyes and those who were closest flew into the air, the others barely held on. An eerily sinister smile crossed my face.

- Do you really think I was going to give up? - << ... >>

- Hears...

- Yes? - A honey-colored look left me half hypnotized for a few minutes. - Naruto?

- Imagine that our house was attacked ... you would be angry if I let my bad self out, right? - He looked at me again, as if there was something that I could not understand, a secret that he knew and kept from me. I pouted.

He hugged me as he threw me to the ground, thousands of reddish leaves rose as he captivated me with his beautiful hair bathed in sunlight.

"Naruto ..." His voice was ecstatic. - ... I will always be there to protect you, whatever happens, we are united by something more powerful than those simple humans.

I tried to say something but he kissed me again, my mind went blank. He was addicted to it. To his love.

Kurama.

- LIAR !!!!!!! - My eyes darkened until they adopted a more than feared and known reddish tone. He was no longer by my side, he had abandoned me ... Anger grew inside me, hatred took control of my body. - YOU'RE A LIAR...!!!

Again the sky was covered by clouds darker than the hatred in my heart and lightning, thunder fell everywhere.

It was the beginning of the end.

And my mind traveled to a very dark place.

POV SASUKE

Something was wrong, the storm returned and as soon as we could see Naruto's figure ... A shiver ran down my spine.

What was happening?

I didn't like having doubts. Confidence was my strong point, and although it seemed cold as ice right now, inside doubt wreaked havoc.

His eyes ... they were red like blood ... No, I was wrong, they weren't like blood, ANSIABAN blood.

Inside of me I wanted to run out of there as a soul that the Devil carries but I was not going to abandon my team, I waited for Kakashi's orders ...

That neither moved from its site.

I tried to make him react but he seemed mesmerized. As if Naruto lured him to certain death. He was not in the wrong way, in seconds the blonde was pouncing on the Anbu, as if he were dancing a dance forbidden to mortals.

He was killing them, each and everyone dropping like flies. His combat level, his speed, his intelligence ... he was above all of us.

Only team seven and Naruto were left standing.

Kakashi started giving orders and things seemed to improve. The blonde looked tired. Exhausted. We had managed to hurt him so that his body would slowly run out of energy, without blood.

And we were getting it.

It was a good plan, we couldn't deliver direct hits so we did enough damage to him to cause a slow and painful death.

Our eyes met.

He knew it, the blue returned to his eyes along with a smile that showed everything but happiness, something inside me moved.

Repentance?

We saw him kneel on the ground and look at us.

He put his hands on the inert earth.

- Flee. - He did not look at us, the message was not directed towards the inhabitants of the Leaf, it was advice to the inhabitants of the Forest. A soft light enveloped him and several bursts of light flooded the Forest.

Suddenly, his skin had that glow again, we thought it would be that murderous machine again but we were wrong.

This time the glow returned to earth and darkened. The reddish color bathed everything, flames that did not cause any damage spread faster than the wind ... than lightning ... than light.

We didn't understand what was happening.

A soft murmur rang out.

The forest began to change ... to transform, horrified I saw how the few creatures that had not fled contracted, their features became threatening, terrible. The trees lost their shine, their color.

It was like ...

A weary, twisted laugh interrupted my thoughts.

- You have lost your sacred place ... so you will never ever dare to enter here ... - In a last sigh Naruto confessed his biggest secret.

He had cursed the Forest, it was no longer a Holy place ...

Now he was cursed.

And Naruto next to him.
