Demon's Ascension

"Hmm, so I can channel my abilities through other people if I concentrate hard enough. Well, that bastard Iruka always did tell me I needed to work on my concentration," Naruto thought. He had discovered this when he had managed to command the man's blood to cover his arms, creating the same claws of red liquid the blonde had made.

Unfortunately, he learned that until he actually partook of the blood, there was only so much he could do. His will, his desire to overcome the challenge in front of him was not strong enough to work on too many people. He had managed with the Academy because it was a bunch of pathetic, juvenile, immature idiots, but Yugao he had only controlled because he caught her off guard.

After the third hour, he leaned back and released a tired sigh. "Then again, it's not like I need to only control shinobi. Civilians should be much easier. They're all cowardly anyway," He thought. The only question was, while subduing Yugao, did he have enough blood and power to subdue a handful of civilians? He called for about three rats and they came in a hurry. He had a firm grasp on how to order vermin around while keeping an Anbu under lock, but people were a different matter.

"Well, they always called me crazy. Who am I to disagree with the masses? Might as well do something even crazier," he said, his fingers itching with anticipation. He went into his kitchen and brought back a knife. He stood before his prey. The blade shimmered in the moonlight.

"Here you are, in the house of the holder of the Kyuubi, sleeping, dreaming of swimming in a pool of women and money. When you wake up, I wonder what kind of face you'll make. Well, it doesn't matter. It'll be the last face you make." He said. He took the blade and gently sliced Takamura's finger. He watched the blood quickly seep out.

Naruto felt his own blood circulating and it slowly pierced his skin. The blonde then touched his blood with the man's own. Almost instantly, Takamura Shingen gasped in pain and his eyes blasted open. "What? W-Where am I? I can't move!" he said. He heard a chuckle. His eyes turned to the right.

"Of course you can't. It's much easier to do this without a struggle, don't you think?" Naruto asked. Takamura stared into the red eyes of the his captor, Uzumaki Naruto. Before he could scream, he felt immense pain circulate through his body. Yet, when he opened his mouth to scream he found himself choking upon a familiar taste of blood. It filled his throat keeping him from unleashing a full scream.

"Guack y-y-y-y….ou brat! You….really….are...ah...monster! Au arways nueh it!" He choked out, but Naruto only smirked at the comment. He watched as his blood flooded the Takamura's internal systems. True, it was a slow death, but...Naruto had plenty of time. Plus, his servant was currently paralyzed in his bed. Not like she could interfere.

"Yeah, you're right. I am a monster. Sorry it took me so long to get it. I'll never make that same mistake again. You know how I know? Because you're going to help me," The blonde replied. Before Takamura could even ask, he upheaved a cough from his throat. Blood splattered from his mouth and onto the reaches of his chest. He noticed Naruto standing over him. Within his eyes was anger, but a distorted sense of satisfaction.

Takamura tried to raise his other arm. "P-Please, don't kill me. I...gak...was wrong. G...G...ive me...one more chance. I…I'll leave you alone," He wheezed and begged. Naruto could see why. The blonde had already made his way to the man's heart and he had drowned the inner reaches of his arteries.

"Leave me alone? Why would I want that? I'm giving you want you wanted remember? I'm giving you and Konoha the monster you always wanted me to be. Remember how much I begged? Remember how much I cried? Remember how much I suffered? Remember how much I asked for you guys to stop?" Naruto asked.

The man's eyes slowly rolled into the back of his head. Tendrils of the blood Naruto had used quickly spread themselves through his chest. Soon, he started to spasm, but he was still kept quiet. "Please, I have a wife and son! They need me!" he pleaded, but the holder of the Kyuubi had heard these thoughts. It seemed he had mingled enough blood for another mental connection.

"Oh don't worry, you'll be leaving them in the most capable hands. Along with your business, your brothel empire, your connections, and your employers. You're leaving it all in capable hands. In fact, you're going to give it to me," Naruto said, a wide smile on his lips.

"I would never give anything to you, Demon! You think a ten-year old can control the entire underworld dynasty that I have prepared! The trials I've had to overcome! I'll never hand over…." Takamura stopped, but he stilled when a blade exploded from his body. His head turned and he watched Naruto smile. The blonde leaned over him until his eyes were right in front of him.

"It's not about what you want. It's about what I'm taking. Just as you took away my love for this pathetic Inuzuka dog dung hole of a village! Your wife and son, I'm going to have fun teaching them their new roles. And you know the best part? You're. Gonna. To. Watch. ALL OF IT!" Naruto said as the blade slowly retracted back into the man's body. His pupils turned red and his irises gained a black hue. Takamura slowly raised himself up.

"Whew, glad Yugao was paralyzed for that one or I might have been in trouble. Isn't that right, Expendable Pawn Number 2?" Naruto asked. The man stood to his feet and instantly dropped to his knees.

"Yes...My Lord." He said. Soon, all of the man's memories began to fill Naruto's mind. Nothing was hidden from him. As if watching a long videotape, he scanned what he could and once he was finished he stared at the ceiling. Yes, now he had a base. Now he had place to call his own. Free from the public view, and...it was very popular.

Naruto stared outside. He could see the smoldering remains of chaos that he had caused outside. "You see, Jiji? When I did it your way I would still be staying in the decrepit apartment. But once I do it my way, I get the results I want. Still, I got some interesting out even the major clans are members. It also looks like...Mizuki-sensei isn't so noble after all," He thought. He rose to his feet and turned out the lights to his apartment.

"Alright, Mizuki-sensei, you're next! It might take me a long time to do it, but I don't mind. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon! Besides, a student always needs a teacher to be a part of their educational growth," Naruto asserted. A dark laugh escaped his lips. It was time to go to bed. Tomorrow was the weekend, and he had so much to do.

Yes, for the next two years, until he took his graduation exams, he would continue to build his powers and the forces which laid below. "A shinobi always plans ahead, isn't that right, Jiji?
