Unleashed Fury

"...it's for the greater good. We can't sacrifice the happiness of the populace for the mercy of one. No one is exceptional especially...not a science experiment," Tsume replied.

Hana screamed as she clutched her head. The void of darkness threatened to crush her beneath the weight of its mighty presence. Suddenly, she was assaulted with memories of the happiest times of her life. Every birthday she had celebrated with her family, every gift she had ever gotten, the achievements of her shinobi career, her first genin team, it...was all a lie. A false hope. A pathetic dream. A means to enslave her loyalty and her growing power.

"For Hana...it should be...and feel...like a bad dream...bad dream...bad dream," the voice mocked over and over. Its label stained the walls of her mind. Her mind, her body, her thoughts, her feelings, none of them...were her own. What was hers? What...was she allowed to have?

"Tell me, Hana, when you look out into these streets, what do you see?"

Hana opened her eyes towards the sky. She stared at the full moon. Its glow looked so beautiful. As she stared upon it, the fragile glass that protected her mind cracked. Naruto was not beside her. People walked next to her. Every scent and sound assaulted her senses.

"Unfortunately for you, Inuzuka Hana, it doesn't matter what you want. It does not matter what I want. To them, what we want will never be given to us. I was not allowed to choose whether to become the Kyuubi jinchuuriki or not, just as you are not allowed...to choose who has access to your body,"

A woman bumped into Hana's shoulder as she stared at the moon. "Hey, why don't you watch where…," The woman never finished her sentence. Instead, she wondered why the village was spinning in so many circles. In fact, how did she get so high into the air? Of course, the view was beautiful, but...why was she up here? Why did she feel so tired? Why...couldn't she keep her eyes open?

Silence reigned through the streets of Konoha as shinobi and civilians alike watched a headless corpse fall to the ground. Hana continued to stare at the moon. Her right hand was covered in blood and broken muscle tissue from the head she had just severed. So quiet was the street that only the sound of dripping blood to the cold ground could be heard.

"Weaklings. Worms. Sniveling cowards beneath the...dirt. You...miserable...pathetic...worthless...pieces of SHIT!"

The ground beneath Hana's feet exploded as chakra seeped from her body. She did not look down at the people looking at her. She could only..watch the moon. A wide, blue, majestic aura began to surround her body. Her chest felt like it was on fire. Her skin felt like it was trying to tear itself apart. Each and every piece of muscle fiber was expanding and contracting.

"Inuzuka Hana, stand down immediately or we will be forced to use lethal action! Hokage-sama has demanded your presence! You are to return to the Inuzuka Compound immediately," a jonin that had suddenly arrived into the area said

Hana was unable to hear him. She could only focus upon the waterfalls of pressure crashing against her body relentlessly. Each surge was even more agonizing than the last, but this agony was nothing compared to the growing hatred inside her mind. She grabbed her hair as if her brain would expel from her skull.

"We. Are. NOTHING!"

In a fit of accumulated rage, sorrow, and anger, Hana screamed at the top of her lungs with a roar so strong that her aura around her body crashed into the nearby houses, stores, restaurants, and people. None could withstand her power as it cratered the ground beneath her feet. Her shout carried with it the song and lyrics unfathomable grief. Like a volcano, chakra exploded from her body as she clenched her fists.

A great wind picked up around her. Those swept in its swirling embrace were ripped to pieces. Blood, bone, and limbs spun through the air. Hana threw her head back as seals started to appear over her body. The band that kept her hair tied blasted into the wind from the strength of her growing chakra. Like a grand display of lights, her chakra became so strong, so thick, so heavy that it continued to push building after building away from her.

"GRAH!" Hana shouted as volley after volley of condensed chakra spheres blasted to all corners of the village. People screamed in terror as civilians began pushing against each other. Each ball of energy did not discriminate between innocent and evil. Those who stood against them were wiped away before they could even scream in pain.

Around Konoha, buildings exploded and fires burned with ferocious intensity. No structure could stand for long before toppling to the ground. With a raised hand, Hana swung her palm to the ground. From her claws, five blades of pure chakra tore across the streets. The screams of children, the cries of parents, the anguish of civilians, the shouting of shinobi, she cared for none of them. They would all pay! They would all suffer! They would all kneel at her feet! HANA WAS NO EXPERIMENT!

As if the moon itself came to answer her cries, its glow covered her body in a radiating luminescence that began to transform her. Her hair grew longer and wider. Like a beautiful mane, it covered her backside. From her back, a tail of white fur grew. Her nails sharpened, her eyes took the shape of a maddening beast. Her teeth lengthened like knives. From the rest of her body, white fur began to cover her. The shinobi sandals she had been wearing were torn to pieces. The shirt and pants she had been using were ripped to shreds. Mysterious seals that none could fathom burned upon her forehead and forearms.

As Hana clenched her fists enough to draw blood, chakra began forming at the tip of her mouth. Her eyes glowed with the sharp coloration of the moon before she released the chakra from her mouth in a grand blast that obliterated the buildings in her path. Each building crashed against the others erupting a wall of fires in the western quadrant of the village. Vicious drool dropped from her mouth and hot steam expelled from her lips.

Not enough! It was not enough! They would all suffer as she suffered! They would all curse life as she cursed it! They would all know her anger! They would all know her sorrow! They would all know her pain!

From within the depths of her very soul, Hana drew upon every negative emotion that she could find. Every experience that had been a lie to her was enough to send a ripple of energy exploding from her body and increasing the crater and thunderous earthquakes beneath her feet.

Shinobi from every corner of the village stood atop the buildings that weren't destroyed. They watched as the beast before them exited the crater. Each step Hana took caused a tremor of chakra to expel from her legs. She had never felt...so complete. At this moment, she stood as a divine beast amongst a feeble race of evolved monkeys. Her teeth glared at them all. No, they had only begun to suffer.
