Battle Royal

!

As the battle of the Leaf Village was being fought with both sides losing great numbers of nins. At the stadium that was partly destroyed by the raging battle of the four summons, a giant toad, slug, snake and elephant. They crush and topple buildings as they fought that also kept the area free of any fighting other then them as none of the two fighting sides wanted to be anywhere near the fighting titans. Leaving the Hokage his two former students and two other Leaf nins fighting against Orochimaru, three of this Sound Four nins and the first and second Hokages who were brought back to the land of the living.

"I see that all of that desk work has weaken you," Orochimaru taunted his old teacher as he deflected all of the kunis thrown at him.

"We'll see," the third said pulling out some more kunis.

Tsuande was busy as she fought off her grandfather. "Nice to see you again gramps," she said as she punches his face right off.

"I'm sorry that we have to meet like this," he said as his face reforms.

"You two shouldn't fight so well then," Jiraiya said as he fight off the second Hokage.

"Sorry but we have to obey the one who summon us," the second Hokage said as he uses his plant jutsu to try to grab onto Jiraiya.

Meanwhile Gai and Kakashi had their hands full as they fought off the combine might of the three standing Sound Four nins as the fourth member was already knock out by Niamh earlier in the fight. Both Gai and Kakashi were two of the top nins of the village but against three of the Sound Four they were hard press just to defend themselves from their attacks.

Tsuande suddenly felt her summon teleported away as the elephant summon blasted it into some buildings by its water jet it sprayed from its trunk. Askari turned towards the nins fighting on top of the stadium and turn his summon's trunk towards them to fire another water jet. The water pressure was enough to crush the bodies of any humans who were on the other end of the blast. Askari suddenly felt something coming towards him as he has horned his senses to any kind of sneak attack, his eyes widen as he sees what looks like a fireworks rocket flying right towards him and his summons. The explosion caused by the rocket sent the elephant summon falling onto its side before teleporting away.

"What happen?" Orochimaru shouted as everyone stop what they were doing once they heard the explosion.

"I happen," Niamh said appearing on the stadium roof holding the FIM-92 Stinger Missile. She took aim and fired another missile at the giant snake hitting its side sending it flying into a building.

"Blast you," Manda hissed before teleporting away.

"What are you doing here?" Orochimaru said. "Shouldn't you be looking for Naruto?"

"I sent some friends of mine to look for him after Butcher told me you used Zaku and Kin to summon the two Hokages," Niamh said.

"Even if you do fight them you'll find that they can't be killed," Orochimaru said.

"Butcher told me how to destroy them without killing those two kids," Niamh said. "All I have to do is to blow them up and destroy the heart stones that are keeping the spirits of the Hokage inside those shells."

"I'm sorry but we're not going to be an easy target for you. We can't fight against the orders given to us," the first Hokage said.

"That's why both of you have C4's strap to you," Niamh said holding the trigger.

"C4s?" the second Hokage ask looking down to see a small pack strapped to his chest and the same went with the first.

"Goodbye," Niamh said pressing the trigger blowing up the two Hokages in a big explosion that rocked the stadium roof. When the smoke cleared all that remained of the Hokages were the two kids that were used to summon them.

"I see that you have been keeping some heavy firepower behind your back," Kakashi said amazed by the oversize rocket launcher that took out two summons.

"No more then this village has," Naimh said coldly as she picks up the two kids slinging them both over her shoulders. "I even out the playing field for you don't get yourselves killed before I get our business of keeping some many things from Naruto is over."

"Take care of yourself," Gai said.

"And Orochimaru these two are now with me," Niamh said. "I have nothing against you yet and you better keep it so." She then vanished without a word.

"She's just as deadly as Butcher," Kidomaru said.

"If she has a weapon powerful enough to take out a summon with one shot I hate to see what else she has," Jirobo said.

"We better not make sure we don't get on her bad side," Sakon said.

"What hit me?" Tayuya said waking up.

"About time you woke up," Kidomaru said appearing next to her and pointed towards the Leaf nins. "We're fighting against these guys so get up and fight!"

"Right," Tayuya said shaking it off. In the foreground a giant raccoon made out of sand appeared smashing building.

"Looks like the Sand's trunk card has been played," Orochimaru said.

"Jiraiya you and Gamabunta handle that beast we'll take care of Orochimaru," Tsuande said.

"Right," Jiraiya said as he and the toad boss rush towards the one tail beast. Leaving the others to fight against Orochimaru and his four elite nins.

"Even without the Hokages we'll be able to beat you," Orochimaru said.

"Don't count on it," Tsuande said as she felt the gun in her pocket that Jiraiya gave to her before he left.

Elsewhere –

Hunter had his back to a wall as bullets struck the side of the building he's using for cover. He had no idea how but Butcher had gotten a hold of a gun, a revolver style one from what he managed to see as he ran for cover. The only thing he had going for him was that Butcher wasn't as good with his gun as he was, as from what he has seen Butcher was still getting use to firing it. Counting the six shots Hunter pop from the corner and fired his TEC-9 at Butcher who's using some rubble as a shield.

Butcher reloaded his gun still amaze by the power held in his hands. Such power in such a small thing, he could see how that small time gang of bandits had let he power surge go to their heads and let that Leaf team kill them as they thought that with the guns they had they couldn't be stop. He on the other hand knows that he mustn't let it go to his head as he could admit his own flaws, he hadn't survive this long without knowing to never let anything go to his head as so many have done before.

"These guns have such an ego boost to them," Butcher said as he finishes reloading. "Too bad I'm wise enough to know not to let it go to my head."

"Good to hear," Hunter said ducking his head as Butcher opens fire.

"I'm still not use to using a gun but I'm a fast learner," Butcher said firing all of his rounds as Hunter fires behind his cover.

"So you knew of Naruto's past," Hunter said reloading his gun.

"Yes I do," Butcher said. "The Naruto you knew was nothing but a mask he wore to hid his pain."

"I know that," Hunter said. "He has shown me and Niamh his true face. The scars run very deep and thanks to what you told him are now bare to the world."

"It would have happen sooner or later," Butcher said. "And this village has taken so much from him already. He at least should know the truth."

"You're right about that," Hunter said. "Living a lie is for the weak minded, they don't have the will to stand up and ask questions or stand up to those in power who feed them the lies."

"Living like sheep's who follow the one who leads them without question," Butcher said. "People like that follow anyone who say things to makes them nod their heads and the populace is lulled into a false sense of security that everything is fine and safe. They do noting but complain but don't do anything about it, and when things start to go bad they act like they deserve to be save when they have done nothing to help themselves. And the so called leaders are even worse as most of them only care for the power and wealth of their positions. Only acting when it makes them look good and denial any wrong doing when they mess things up." (1)

"The same here," Hunter said as with all that's been happening in his world thanks to the U.S. government who no longer have any friends thanks to the war with Iraq that was started for no good reason beside getting rid of the cruel leadership of the country, but has cause many anit-American factions to use the invasion as a rallying cry to gain support to their causes. 'Bloody Americans always rush into things and never think things through before acting.'

"Naruto isn't going to be holding back any longer and will show his real face from now on. And which means now that the big secret is out he'll can do anything he wants to this village and they can't do anything to upset him," Butcher said.

"They have it coming to them," Hunter said. "Neither me or Niamh will try to stop him or say he's better then them. It's his choice to do what he wants out of his life we'll just help him on his way there."

"It's too bad we couldn't have met earlier," Butcher said as he and Hunter pop out from cover at the same time pointing their weapons at each other. "What friends we could have been." Gunshots once again ripped through the streets.

!

In one of the Streets –

"There's no end to these guys," Sakura said as she fires another rocket at the Sound nins attacking her and her group. Hinata was covering the others from Sound nins throwing kunis at them from one of the roof tops. The rest were busy fighting off some of the circus freaks Moira the bearded lady armed with a sword. Her friend Peggy the tattooed lady was armed with twin sickles. Vicky the fat lady carrying a huge metal club and the conjoin twin sisters Yami and Aymi throwing two different kinds of jutsus at once at them.

"Tell me about it," Susake said fighting off the conjoin twins. Even with his bloodlimit he was hard press against the sisters as because they were joined together they had two different minds that he had to watch out for. Reading faces was something he was taught to look for as the expressions of the person you're fighting will tell you what their next move would be but he was never taught how to read someone with two heads.

A loud roar sounded as the pirate captain Gan came running down the stree with his sword held out as he runs through some of the attacking nins. Members of his crew quickly came charging in killing any enemy nins in their path. Those with bows or crossbows covered them firing a stream of arrows at the Sound nins as they leap into the air trying to regroup. Seeing an opening Kiba threw a kuni at Moira hitting her in the side of her neck making her bleed to death, Peggy raised her weapons at Kiba but was shot in the head by Hinata. Sakura followed by blasting Vicky in the face with a rocket sending her onto her back and members of Gan's crew hacked her body apart. Seeing themselves alone Yami and Aymi leaped through a window of a building to escape.

"You kids okay?" Gan ask wiping the blood off of his sword.

"Yeah thanks for the save," Ino said glade that some of the people from the matches are helping.

"Well me and my crew tried to leave but these Sound nins attak us so we decided to fight," Gan said.

"Yes but now you have to deal with us," Mysterio said as he and the twelve clown brothers behind him all carrying a weapon. He used his power causing the Leaf kids, Gan and his crew to stumble around as their heads started spinning. Mysterio then shouted at the clowns. "What are you waiting for get them!"

Luckily someone came to their aid as the clown brothers were running towards the now confused nins and pirates. Each of her arrows struck the clowns sending them flying back from the force of the arrow strikes. Mysterio felt something hitting him causing him to look down to see an arrow sticking out of his chest, he cough up blood before falling over.

"Good thing I got here," Komatsuhime said jumping down from the roof she was standing on.

"Komatsuhime nice fore you to drop in," Gan greeted her as his head stops spinning.

"There's no time for small talk," Komatsuhime said as she points at the one tail beast fighting the Toad boss. "We have bigger things to worry about."

"We better get out of here," Gan said seeing that the two giants were fighting their way over to them.

"Right boss," one of his crew said as they run off down one street as the Leaf kids run down another, Komatsuhime jump onto a roof top and continue on her search for the woman Niamh.

"Shouldn't we have gone with them?" Tenten ask.

"Big groups would just slow us down," Hinata said. "We have to find Naruto no matter what."

!

Elsewhere –

Grizzly roared as he strikes at Yoshihiro Shimazu as he in turn deflects his claws with his hammer. Around them were the daimyo's men fighting off Sound and Sand nins, Grizzly fellow carnie the dwarf Udo Kang. They have been making their way through the streets searching for that boy Naruto before he gets himself killed and releases the demon.

"Lord Yoshihiro, my lord sent me to aide you," Zhou Tai the Water Lord's retainer said as he appears his sword a blur as he cuts his way through the enemy nin ranks.

"Good to hear," Yoshihiro said as he hits Grizzly with a jap from his hammer in the face. As he stumbles backwards Yoshihiro trips him with his hammer and follows with a head smash.

"Grizzly!" Udo Kang shouted seeing his friend dead only to be silence by one of Yoshihiro's men with a sword thrust into his chest.

"Keep pressing them back!" Yoshihiro shouted to his men as they cut and hack their way through the attacking nins. He raised his hammer high into the air and slams it down causing the ground under the feet of the enemy nins to jump up sending them flying.

"I see that you're still as strong as ever," Zhou Tai said slicing an arm off of a Sand nin.

"Nah that was nothing, I hate getting old," Yoshihiro said as he went back to fighting.

!

In one of the alleyways –

Naruto stood his ground as he fires at the nins in front of him who were fighting against each other. He didn't care whether he hit a Leaf nin or not, they were all of his enemies now. All of these years were nothing more then lies fed to him, he never had a chance to be anything else but a nin with the Hokage pressing him to see that the only way to be seen as human was to become the next Hokage.

"Naruto we need to get you to a safe place," Ino's father said as he, Chouji and Shikamaru dads had joined together like when they were all in the same team together.

"Why," Naruto said pointing his gun at them. "That won't make me happy and since depending how my mood is, the demon inside of me will just get stronger."

"Naruto I know that you have every reason to hate us but…" Chouji's father was cut off as Naruto fired a bullet into his leg. His two friends rush over to him to stop his bleeding.

"None of you have the right to talk to me not after what you and this village done to me. The only reason now that the village will treat me better is because they all know now that if I die now I'll get to choose if I take the demon with me or let it go. But none of you would ever understand the depths of my hate or pain. Maybe when I kill your kids in front of you, maybe than you'll understand some of my pain," Naruto smiled.

"What?" Shikamaru's father said.

"How are you going to stop me?" Naruto said. "I can do anything I want now in this village and there's nothing you can do about it. If I'm not happy the fox gets stronger and if I die the fox goes free, either way this village will suffer my wrath. For the only way I'll be happy is to kill as many people of this village as I can."

"Dad!" Chouji shouted as he and the others came running to the scene.

"Naruto," Hinata said but stop when she saw him glaring at her.

"So my treat has come to try to convince me to stop," Naruto said.

"Naruto, Hinata wouldn't," Sakura started but stop when he points his gun at her.

"This village has lied to me for all of my life how can I ever trust anyone here?" Naruto said. "My only dream now is to make this village feel my pain and sorrow. Maybe I should start be killing every kids in the village, losing a entire generation while the older ones stand by helplessly as I kill their children one after another. And there's nothing they be able to do to stop me because that would only upset me more and make the fox stronger." Naruto levels his gun at his former classmates.

"Naruto no," Hinata said seeing him pointing right at her.

"This makes me happy," Naruto said starring at his fellow classmates. "The only thing that will make me happy is for all of you to die."

Someone clapping could be heard above them. Looking up they saw Butcher looking down at them and he looks worse for wear. His clothes were a mess and they could see blood coming out of his wounds that littered his body.

"Butcher what do you want?" Naruto said looking at the man who told him the truth.

"I came to see how you were doing," Butcher said. "That man Hunter is much stronger then I thought he put up quite the fight something I haven't had in a long time."

"Is he dead?" Naruto ask.

"He's still alive, he almost got me when he fired that bomb launcher at me," Butcher said.

"What do you want with Naruto?" Shikamaru ask.

"Naruto how would you like to be my heir to my title?" Butcher ask shocking the Leaf nins.

"Your title?" Naruto ask.

"I'll train you with everything that I know making you stronger then you are now even surpassing me in time," Butcher said. "And once you're done with your training you can make your name known by destroying and killing what's let of the Leaf Village."

"Sounds good," Naruto said. "But I'm not about to hand out my trust just like that."

"I understand," Butcher said. "You still need time to work out all of the things you have learned that have been kept from you all your life. I can wait for you to settle down first."

In the foreground Gamabunta the toad boss teleported away as he was given a critical blow from the one tail beast. He was too weakened from his earlier fight to be able to stop one of the tail beasts. Jiraiya leaped from the shoulder of Gamabunta as he teleported away landing next to the group.

"Having trouble dealing with that beast," Butcher stated as the one tail beast continue to destroy buildings around it.

"He's too strong," Jiraiya said. With all of the fighting going on around the village they couldn't stop the one tail beast as their forces are too thin.

"Naruto it's time for you to start using the power of the demon inside of you," Butcher said appearing next to him. "I'm going to release the energy seal allowing you to use the fox's chakra like a well."

"No don't," Minato said appearing from an alleyway with Kushina.

"I see you already met both of your parents," Butcher said looking at the two. "Minato kill anyone who tries to stop me."

"Damn you," Minato said as his body acted on its own. "No one try to stop Butcher I can't control my body!"

"Unlock the seal Butcher," Naruto said to him without a hint of fear in his voice to the ninja butcher. "It's about time this demon start making its self useful."

"Right," Butcher said placing his hand on Naruto's stomach and released the seal that held back the energy of the demon fox. The area glowed red as Naruto's body was bathed in the red chakra of the demon fox. "So much power you have now, but without any control over it you'll be nothing more then a wildfire that will eventually burn itself out."

"I don't care," Naruto said staring at the one tail beast. "If, I do burn myself out I just let the fox go free to finish what I have started. But only I get to destroy this village and no other." Naruto leaped towards the tail beast with knife and gun in hand.

"Such killing power, the raw hate, all of it is unfocused but with my training he will have complete control over his new found power," Butcher said.

"He'll get himself killed," Kushina said about to jump after her son but was stop as Minato step in front of her.

"You and the others are going to sit this one out," Butcher said controlling his old rival. "Besides you were never a mother to him so why should you try to start acting like one when you had so many years to be one. I know that with someone like me you would thought I trick your husband turning Naruto into a demon. I'm many things I have killed many having the highest body count of any human by their own hands at over 50,000 but I wouldn't have done something like turning a child into a demon. I would rather have killed both you and Minato in front of him to drive him for revenge to become strong enough to kill me, but I would never have turned him into a demon. I'm a cold hearted killer who doesn't mind killing at the least but I'm not a monster."

"You're Naruto's mother?" Sakura said pointing her launcher at her. "Then everything that is happening now is on your head! If you would have raised Naruto he might not be like this now."

"I know that," Kushina said. "And nothing I do now will ever give me a chance to make it up to him. Even if I gave my life to protect him now he'll only see that I only did it to make sure that the fox didn't break free."

"I'm going to help him," Hinata said walking towards the fight between Naruto and the one tail beast. "Even if he only sees me as a way to make him happy I'll stand by his side."

"Such a will you have there," Butcher said aiming his gun at her. "But I can't allow you to stop this now."

Bullets rip through the air slamming into Butcher sending him flying back as his blood sprayed through the air. Hunter came up the road riding his bike and his machine gun in hand, he pulled out a flare gun and fired it straight into the air. Niamh appeared spotting at flare as she came back into the village after dropping off Zaku and Kin at her fort. Maski, Ran and Meow were busy fighting off the Sand and Sound nins attacking the fort as she was caught up in fighting off them before returning back to the village.

"Where's Naruto?" Niamh ask.

"He's over there," Kiba said pointing at the small figure of Naruto as he leaps from buildings attacking the one tail beast.

"That Sand nin Gaara is in the middle of the demon's head," Hunter said using his hawk like eyes.

"Look's like another child used to seal a demon," Niamh said reloading the stringer.

"Niamh this woman here is Naruto's mother," Sakura said still have her weapon pointed at Kushina.

"You're his mother?" Niamh ask.

"Yes she is," Minato said.

"I should kill you now," Niamh said glaring at Kushina. "But I leave that to Naruto."

A roar ripped through the village as Naruto was struck by the tail beast sending him crashing into a building. Niamh took aim and fired the stringer at the one tail beast neck the blast sent the beast head falling and body disappearing. The beast head crash into the ground a disappear leaving nothing but Gaara behind. His two siblings rushed over to him and ran off with him seeing that the mission had failed.

!

On the Stadium roof –

"Damn that woman," Orochimaru growled as he clutches his shoulder and chest where he was shot by Tsuande her third shot had missed his head. Seeing Gaara down he knew the mission had failed, he couldn't summon Manda again as he was already wounded by the woman Niamh and would eat him if he did summon him. "Everyone retreat!"

"Right," Kidomaru said firing a purple flare into the air to call a full retreat. The other three Sound Four help Orochimaru escape leaping into the air and used a teleport jutsu.

"Looks like we won," Kakashi said huffing as he had taken a beating.

"But now we have to deal with Niamh now," Gai said.

"And there's Naruto," the Hokage said wondering if the village would survive Naruto's wrath.

!

Elsewhere –

All over the village the attacking nins retreated once they saw the purple flare. Pick Axe Miller, Cooper and Rat escaped through one of the holes in the wall of the village pulling a wagon full of loot they had stolen. They were joined by Clyde 'The Blade' Slade, and the twins Yami and Aymi. Their ringleader Professor Perry and Asada disappeared in his toxic smoke leaving no trace behind.

"Looks like it's time for me to go," Atlas Jones said to the two Leaf nins he's been fighting. He smashed his way through a building leaving the Lee and Neji behind as the building fall behind him.

Shino stood over a foot bridge over a pond. The body of Mushizo floated in the bloody water his hornets having strung him to death. Shino being a bug user had never seen anything like what Mushizo had done to train his hornets. His hunch back was nothing more then a hornet hive that the hornets have dug into his own flesh. After discovering that he managed to knock Mushizo into the pond and the hornets in a panic to escape from inside the hive had crewed and sting their master to death.

"Looks like I'm the only one who made it," Askari said as he carries the burnt body of Madame Zara who was still breathing out of the village on his back.

The roof where Butcher fell to Hunter's bullets was empty when Ino's father jump up to see for himself that he was dead. The only thing he found of the Butcher was his blood that left a trail off of the roof. Niamh and Hunter found Naruto's body buried in the rubble inside the building he was thrown into. His body was still glowing red as the energy of the fox demon healed his body wanting for it's vassal to continue on with his rampage and destroy the Leaf Village. Or die trying.

Author's Notes –

1 – America is heading downwards and it's only a matter of time before the other nations have enough and put a trade band on the country that would become bankrupt or join together to invade the country which said country has done repeatedly. The question is what have you done to prevent it from happening?
