17. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu

"I'm sorry," Naruto said in a small whisper so low that neither could hear him. Naruto crossed his fingers.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," Naruto yelled and soon one clone came into existence. It was all Naruto would need to deal with these two.

"Yeah that's all. You just took someone's life for their things and you don't even feel regret for it," Naruto said and what shocked the older bandit was that despite the rage, Naruto was crying. The man chuckled and sighed.

"That's life brat like it or hate, but you will experience it," The bandit said and let out a punch while the younger cheered.

Naruto narrowed his eyes and, thanks to his ninja training, dodged the punch and embedded his kunai into the man's chest. Blood poured from his form and dripped over Naruto hands. The blonde gritted his teeth as he dug the kunai in deeper. The man screamed while the blood still poured on Naruto's hands. The shivered from the screaming, but he wanted them to pay. He held out his and the clone began to make the Rasengan inside the blonde's palm.

"Nii-san!" The younger brother said and Naruto held his rasengan in his hands. This might have been over kill or maybe Naruto was letting his emotions run wild, but that didn't matter at the moment.

"Rasengan," Naruto yelled as he slammed the spiraling sphere into the bandit's abdomen. With the pain of the kunai in his chest and the pain of feeling his body crushed by the rasengan the bandit was sent flying into the distance and slammed into a tree while Naruto turned to the younger one.

"I now understand Haku. I know what your saying," Naruto said as he came up to the younger brother.

"I don't want to kill you, but I will," Naruto said and the younger bandit backed away. He gulped and took out a small knife. Naruto glared at him as the younger brother of the bandit charged at him. Naruto closed his eyes and held up his kunai.

"I'm sorry," Naruto said and before he knew it all went dark. The blonde stood on the ground with his kunai in his hand. His right hand was tainted with blood and his kunai was dripping from it. The blonde huffed while his eyes seemed to be in some sort of shock. On the ground behind him was the younger brother bandit with his throat slit. Naruto gulped and huffed like he was too tired to comprehend anything else.

Soon behind came Shin who looked at the blonde and noticed his bloody kunai. Shin didn't say anything to Naruto as he knew the blonde wouldn't reply to anything anyway. So the death god floated over to the dead body and was about to take his soul, but Naruto quickly dashed in front of Shin and held out his hand.

"Shin, just give me a minute," Naruto said and the Shinigami narrowed his eyes at his blonde summoner, but nodded and slowly backed away. Naruto looked at the dead man on the ground and his blonde hair covered his grief filled eyes. What Jiraiya had told him about death seemed to be nothing compared to the real thing. The blonde cried for a bit and knelt down.

"Kyuubi, Shin how do you guys deal with it?" Naruto asked and both the bijuu and the death god thought over his question. Shin had been taking souls as far as he could remember so it was rather difficult. Kyuubi seemed to be in the same boat.

"Well it won't help you, but I did revel in war and killing. It seemed right to me, but I don't know if its the stupid connection I have to your emotions, but I'm starting to find myself wrong. I just dealt with it and over time I got over it," Kyuubi said and soon it was Shin's turn.

"I just know it's a part of all life. You must live with it," Shin said and Naruto found it all to be true.

He never felt like this. He had seen death, of course, but to do it yourself felt so...different. Naruto turned around and walked back to his hotel. He didn't care what happened right now. He just wanted to get some sleep and forget all of this.

Shin came up to the bodies and he took out his sword. He quickly slashed at the bandit ripping his soul from his body. He grabbed the soul and sucked it away into nothingness.

"One to fill the space of the revived person...," Shin said and floated to the other body that was slammed into the tree. The fierce burn marks on his body especially around the abdomen and the semi-large strike to his chest guaranteed a quick death.

"...and one for a small interest. It must be hard," Shin said and quickly took the soul then disappeared leaving the two lifeless bodies on the ground.
