Chapter 2
The Devil's Rage.
Naruto was speechless, he didn't know what to say, there standing in front of him was Haku, the guy he met in the forest who, back in the forest had the same type of eyes Naruto has, but now, they look dead, after Haku's defeat his eyes look lifeless as though he's got nothing left to live for.
"W-Why?!"
Were the first words Naruto spoke, it didn't even register to him that his voice got deeper or that he was taller than Haku, as he stands straight, puts down his fist, though he was still on guard, he couldn't help but feel hurt and betrayed, looking at the one person who knew of the same pain as himself, yes people ignored Naruto and whispered about him with distrust, the only good thing is no-one tried to hurt him physically, but even mental pain hurts, if it wasn't for the people in his life, he would've gone crazy, Hokage ji-chan, Teuchi ji-chan, Ayame Nee-chan and Iruka-Sensei, those few people believe in him and slowly others started to believe in him too.
Now here he was, facing another person he thought, not only believed in him, but inspired him to protect those that are precious to him, angry at not only Haku for making feel lied to, but angry at himself for opening up.
Not understanding why Haku would do such a thing to him, he needed to find out, so with great strength of will not to punch Haku but to get answers from him, Naruto asked the question "WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE YOU?!"
Feeling the hurt in Naruto's voice Haku just stood there not moving, letting Naruto finish "YOU INSPIRED ME, I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND, so why, why would you hurt my friend like this?!" Going strong, Naruto finished out of steam and in sadness.
Haku standing there, speaks for the first time in a monotone voice "Kill me."
Taken by surprise Naruto was shocked, "W-What?!" Not sure if Haku actually said what he thought he heard, he waited for clarity.
Haku, understanding Naruto's shock, Replied "Kill me, I failed my master, I failed Zabuza-sama."
Still looking at Naruto Haku finishes by saying "I'm nothing but a broken tool, Zabuza-sama wouldn't want a tool that has been defeated."
Naruto, still shocked, could only ask one thing "What are you talking about, you're not a tool your a person, a human being?!"
Haku smiles slightly, but it didn't reach his eyes, he continues speaking "I was saved by Zabuza-sama."
Surprise took Naruto's face, he remembers their conversation in the forest, how Haku was collecting herbs for his precious person, he had no idea it was Zabuza, wanting to find out more, Naruto presses on, "What do you mean, how did Zabuza save you!?"
Continuing, Haku carried on in his monotone voice, "Have you heard of the bloodline purge in Kiri?"
Not sure where this was going Naruto remand silent and continued to listen "The Mizukage start to kill people with bloodlines, women, children, whole families were killed."
Horror took Naruto's face now, a leader of one of the hidden villages was killing innocent people without reason, still in shock but still listening, he let Haku continue.
"Luckily my mother managed to hide her bloodline and married my father, we were living peacefully, then when I was a child my bloodline awakened, I found out I could make and control ice with my Chakra, I showed my mother, I thought she would be happy and pleased, but it turned out she was scared, she hit me and told me never to do that ever again, not understanding why, I agreed, first I thought my mother was scared of me, but it turned out it was the opposite, she was scared for me, it didn't make a difference however, my father saw what I did, then and there he didn't see me as his child anymore, but a monster, a demon, so he rounded a few people who were apart of the "purge" in order to kill my mother and myself, they killed my mother and was moving on to me, terrified and not knowing what to do I lost control of my bloodline and killed all of the people who killed my mother, including my father."
Finishing there to let Naruto process everything, Haku couldn't read Naruto's face.
Naruto's face looked as if it was made of stone, but inside his mind was the same thing as his name means, it was a Maelstrom, he was processing everything, he didn't know how to feel, but he fought through them to listen to what Haku has to say.
Haku saw Naruto nod his head to continue, "I spent a few months on the streets scrounging for food in bins, one day I was on a bridge hugging my knees, trying to keep warm, that's when Zabuza-sama saved me, he as walking past me, he looked down and saw me, I don't why he saved me, Zabuza-sama gave my life meaning, I promised him and myself that I would protect and be Zabuza-sama's tool, to give my life for him."
Now seeing things clearly, Naruto feels Zabuza was trying something, since Zabuza saved Haku, Naruto felt there was something more.
"Which is why I want you to kill me, I've been defeated, I am no longer the perfect tool for Zabuza-sama, please end my life."
Naruto, realizing what Haku wanted of him, reached into his pouch, that was on it's last leg, seeing as Naruto was bigger, but he managed to get a Kunai from his pouch and about to use the ring side of the Kunai, without Haku noticing, wanting to knock Haku out instead of killing him.
But suddenly, Haku stiffened, with wide eyes, "Looks like I still have my uses after all." looking down the bridge to where Kakashi and Zabuza were battling.
Haku then uses some water to make a small ice mirror and vanished into it.
Naruto looks around trying to find Haku, he hear loud crackling, but not knowing whats happening, his body flickered on it's own, getting in front of not only Zabuza but Haku as well, seeing Kakashi coming towards him, looking as though he was moving in slow-motion.
Kakashi's eyes widened when he saw someone, who looks like his Sensei Minato, but with whiskers and longer hair, was suddenly in front of his Assassination technique, the Raikiri, his own self-created technique, unable to change the trajectory or stop his forward motion in time, he didn't know what to do.
On instinct, Naruto lifts his hand up and just as Kakashi's lightning covered hand was about to pierce his chest, Naruto grabs hold of Kakashi's wrist, stopping Kakashi from putting his hand through Naruto's chest.
When the unknown person grab his wrist and holding it in place, Kakashi was still moving forward, but instead of the unknown person moving or budging and inch, Kakashi's left shoulder hit into the person while his right just stopped near his Raikiri, to Kakashi it felt like he ran into a mountain, of course it didn't do any damage or anything, being a Jounin and all, but it did make Kakashi's head spin a little, after all he wasn't expecting to be stopped out of the blue, but he was glad for it, not only for stopping him, but for possibly, saving an innocent life.
Naruto was shocked, not in the joking or literal term, considering he's holding a lightning covered hand, yet he can't feel it, I mean he can but it feels like one of those hand buzzers that shake things up a bit.
Having enough the lightning died down and Naruto lets go, Kakashi was wondering what was going on decided to ask the question on everyones mind, minus Sakura, who was guarding Tazuna and couldn't see through the mist, "Who are you and why did you interfere in shinobi matters?"
Not understanding what Kakashi-sensei was talking about, Naruto asked in confusion "What are you talking about, Kakashi-sensei, it's me, Naruto!?"
Hearing the same exuberant, but in a deeper voice, Kakashi and Zabuza, were shocked, here, standing in front of them was the suppose to be the same loud, hyperactive knuckle headed ninja Kakashi was just telling Zabuza about, at a height of 4.7ft shortest of his age group, to a now 6.3ft and a body of a highly trained gymnastic that was built for speed, strength and endurance.
Putting about asking Naruto whats happened to his body aside, Kakashi asks the question that needs to be asked, "Why did you stop me from finishing Zabuza off, Naruto." The lazy teacher was put aside for the time being and in his place was the ANBU commander.
Naruto, unperturbed by Kakashi's personality switch, answered like it was talking about the weather in a lazy fashion, "Why not, I realized they weren't the problem, but the guy who hired them."
The mist started to clear, everyone could see what was happening, even Sakura and Tazuna, both wondering who the tall, blond person was.
Not understanding what Naruto was talking about, before Kakashi, Zabuza or Haku could ask what he means, Naruto looked down the other side of the uncompleted bridge, following Naruto's line of sight, they saw a group of armed thugs, with evil smirks and smiles, with a short, little pig-type of a man with a cast on his arm, looking quite pleased with himself as though he were the "bigger" man.
"Well Zabuza, looks like you failed the second time, I don't mind though, I thought to myself, forget it, he failed the first time, how will the second time be any different, then I realized, forget paying him and the little son of a bitch, that broke my arm, with him, just kill them all when they're tired and take the bounty, it saves me money and my army here are cheaper than you."
Zabuza wide eyed and feeling rage like never before, couldn't believe this little fucking pig, he was going to sale them all, including Kakashi and his team, down the river.
Before Zabuza could do or say anything there was tiny little balls of light the size of fireflies moving around and stopped in the middle of the air, not moving at all, as though time stood still for the light, then they hear Naruto begin to speak it was quite, but everyone heard it, "So, what your saying is that Zabuza and Haku mean nothing to you, does that mean your contract with them has been terminated?"
Not caring about the little "lightshow" or seeing that he was being threatened, Gatou, in his "I'm more powerful than you, because I got more men than you" attitude, mealy exclaimed with a sinister smirk, " So what if I terminated the contract, it's not my fault they couldn't do the job I paid them for!"
One of the little light popped, Naruto, feeling his blood boil, with his head down, started to chuckle quietly, not realizing the "Ryoko-side" of him was coming out. You see, at the moment Naruto's body and mind are unstable because of his sudden change, right now his psyche is switching between his own and Ryoko's.
Lifting his hand, palm up, in the air, suddenly all the little lights flew into Naruto's open palm, making a ball in his hand, clenching his hand around the ball, like a handle, with a quick "snap-hiss" sound, the ball changed to a long sword of light without a handle in Naruto's hand, but was still held in place.
Naruto started walking towards Gatou and his band of mercenaries, then he leaned forward and before everyones eyes he flickered out of place.
Then came yells of pain and surprise in the middle of the mercs, with Naruto laughing his head off with his light sword in the air, he vanished again, one man tried to stab through another just to get to Naruto, but the strangest thing happened, Naruto somehow, phased through the man that was stabbed out his back, with nothing happening to the stabbed man, no opening or anything.
Scaring the other bloke and everyone who saw it, Naruto continued with killing the merc's, ether by slicing them, sending small blasts of energy or blowing them away with a punch, Kakashi thought Naruto's punches now resemble Tsunade's punches.
It was like Naruto was dancing, he was graceful and deadly, as though he's been doing it all his life, to everybody, Kakashi, Zabuza, Haku, Sakura and Tazuna, it was like watching a dancer in a waltz, but with no partner, though admittedly Sakura and Tazuna were a bit green, of the cauterized body parts flying, but Naruto's skills and style out weighed them throwing up.
Getting all of them, Naruto was facing Gatou, seeing him cowering like the little pig that he was.
Naruto, no light sword, placed his hands on the floor, looking at Gatou with an evil mischievous face, not realizing what he was saying to Gatou, as little wisps of smoke with glowing lights in them moved about as though they got minds of their own and Naruto was moving them around, "Now little man, you're gonna see why people will call me, Naruto The Devil Caller."
Thinking to himself, "Where did that come from?" shrugging it off as something not important, but for some reason liking the name, Naruto stood straight, one hand in the air the other on his hip, smiling with hidden hate, the wisps came together and formed a monster looking creature (for reference watch "Tenchi Muyo - 04 - Mihoshi Falls to the Land of Stars HD" on youtube)
The creature looks forward to see Gatou scared shitless, Naruto behind it smirks and says to the creature "Go ahead and eat the little pig, he should taste like pork."
The creature looks towards Naruto, feeling the power within Naruto, not only did it sense Ryoko's type of power washing off of Naruto, but could also feel enormous power, dark evil, full of bloodlust and rage, greater than anything it felt before.
Being scared of that power, on top of Naruto's own power, the creature nodded with out a attacking Naruto and devoured the evil little screaming man whole, considering Gatou was small it was easy.
Smiling in satisfaction, Naruto dismissed the entity and with out question, it did as ordered and vanished.
Turning around and looking at everyone, Inari and the villages arrived when Naruto summoned the monster, all Naruto did was smile at them all and before anyone could say anything, Naruto fell forward unconscious.
