Brawl

 

Naruto sighed as he stood up and headed towards the entrance. Someone was going to pay for interrupting their down time. “I'll be right back.” Haku sighed and nodded her head.

 

Frowning he headed towards the front door. `It's kind of late for a check-in and, what was with all the noise?' He froze just before he turned the corner. One of his clones had just been destroyed by a group of people that were kind of rough looking if he was getting the memories right.

 

He frowned while struggling to sort through his clones' memories. It seemed these people weren't the kind and friendly type, as his clone had found out the hard way. Sighing Naruto peeked around the corner.

 

`One, two, three, damn there are four of them. Better get a good read on them.' With that he sent the hinged clone of Haku in to try and calmly resolve the problem. Frowning he watch as his clone tried to calmly get the intruders to leave, but it quickly became obvious that they weren't here for a pleasant stay. Naruto sighed. `Today was going so well too, Oh well.' He watched as one of the men suddenly grabbed his clone while holding a knife to its neck.

 

“We got a feisty one fellas!” There was a series of obnoxious laughter. That was quickly followed Naruto's sudden killer intent.

 

“You feel that?” asked the bulkiest of the group “Nope.”

 

Naruto took a deep breath calming him self quickly. `It's not really Haku, just a clone. But still…'

 

“Must have been my imagination.” Mumbled the thug.

 

“Naruto!” Naruto jumped three feet in the air at the sound of his name being whispered harshly from behind.

 

He landed comically on his back looking up at Haku. “Don't do that!” He whispered. Haku giggled while helping him stand.

 

“So what's the problem?”

 

“Thugs.” He said while stretching and throwing so warm up punches.

 

“Have you- ”

 

“Yup, and now their holding my clone hostage.”

 

“You didn't even let me finish.”

 

“But Haku-chan, I did try the peaceful solution first!” he whined whine pouting.

 

Haku giggled at the pout. “You swear?”

 

“Look for yourself.”

 

Looking around the corner she noted the position of the clone and thugs. Haku nodded. “Ok then lets take out the trash.”

 

“Yatta! I've been waiting for this! Finally, a chance to see how much I've improved!”

 

“Just don't go overboard.”

 

Naruto nodded before leaping out from their hiding place. “OK who wants the first beating!”

 

The bandits turned only to see Naruto standing there, red and blue hair efficiently covering his eyes, standing a mere five feet, and smiling like there was no tomorrow.

 

“Where's the old man kid we don't have time to play. He's late on his payments.” The chubby thug chuckled.

 

“Hey; Only I get to call him Old Man! You goofy looking ape!”

 

“Looks like we've found us a comedian,” Naruto looked at the man speaking. He was obviously the leader; with his muscular build and large duel ax's hanging from his hips. “Boys let show this fool our act, and make sure he gets the punch line.”

 

`That was really cliché.'… “Is this a game?”

 

“Wh-” Stated the leader before Naruto cut him off.

 

“WAIT your turn! O.K, O.K. got it! `Punch lines are great but my act will knock you out!'” Naruto stood for a minute smiling as the thugs absorbed what had just happened.

 

“This isn't a damn game of witty attack lines, get the little brat!”

 

“Yes sir!” shouted the bulky thug before he charged Naruto.

 

Naruto ducked under a slow right hook and delivered a crushing kick directly into the thugs solar-plex.

 

“I thought you guys were strong!” Naruto shouted while looking down sadly at the winded man. “This won't be any f--.”

 

Naruto was hit, mid sentence by a nasty jab to the face, and sent stumbling backwards. Shaking his head, he steadied himself from the jab. `Ouch. That hurt.' He thought bitterly as he moved into a simple tijustu stance, eyeing the scrawny tug that'd punched him.

 

“Well, well, well, looks like we got a fighter on our hands. That was a nice move kid, but you nothing compared to the rest of us. We each have shinobi training. That idiot there just underestimated you. Maybe we'll let you join, if you're a good boy and give up now.”

 

“Ha are you kidding? I've been waiting forever for this!” Naruto smiled after that. “Plus, who'd want to fight for an ugly slowpoke? He shouted while patting his behind, before running forward and sliding between the leaders legs. “You'll have to do better than that Monkey Butt!” Naruto shouted before heading out front.

 

“I'm going to kill that kid. What the hell are you two waiting on go get him!”

 

“Right away, Boss!”

 

Naruto watched as the chubby and scrawny thugs hurried outside, followed quickly by their leader.

 

“Last time I checked,” Naruto shouted over the blizzard “Leaders were supposed to lead!”

 

“Senbon, Chubby, I want that kids head.”

 

Naruto gasped when the scrawny guy disappeared from sight. `Shit!' He spun to the side just in time to deflect a few well thrown senbons. `I hate Needles!' Leaping to the side he dodged a large spiked ball that slammed into the ground leaving a small crater before being yanked back on a spiked chain. “Can't we all just get along?!” Naruto's answer came in the form of more senbons slamming into his back, only for him to be replaced by a smiling snowman.

 

Naruto took a deep breath while hiding behind a tree. That scrawny guy had turned out to be really fast at first, but now that he was thinking straight; he noted the guy wasn't much faster than him. `Damn it!' Naruto managed to duck under the large spiky ball and leap to the side only to dodge another wave of senbons.

 

Naruto frowned as the snow started to fall heavier, obscuring his view. He swore when his arm was hit by a pair of senbons and let out small yelp of pain. “Damn it! Pick on somebody your own size!”

 

“Come here radish top! I like my vegetables chopped.”

 

`Why do they always compare my hair, with stupid vegetables!' Naruto rolled his eyes as he preformed his hair jutsu; turned his hair snow white, while mumbling something about needles and vegetables. Reaching behind his back he pulled out a small scroll. `Let see how they like this.' Biting his thumb he preformed a series of hand seal before slamming his hand onto the open scroll.“Four man Compass!” After a small poof of smoke; four clones stood at the ready. “Ok guys I want an area freeze, I'm your center!” With a nod his clones disappeared into the blizzard. Naruto smirked when the temperature suddenly dropped. All around him the temperature fell to ridiculous lows. Concentrating his chakra throughout his body he began to feel warmer. “That should slow the thugs down.” `Good job guys.' Naruto felt his clones pop out of existence five minutes later. `I wonder if I should try my other scrolls.'

 

Naruto smirked as he felt a familiar chakra signature closing in on him. `Haku' The smirk suddenly turned to fear as he noticed another chakra signature nearly right on top of hers. “What the ---?”

 

Naruto's eyes went wide as the ax wielder walked into the clearing dragging a slightly worse for wear Haku. His ax was held lightly in one hand as he made their way to the middle of the clearing.

 

“Alright kid, come out now! Don't make me say it twice or I'll have to start hacking limbs!”

 

Naruto clenched his fist as he leaped down from a tree landing in the center of the clearing. “Let her go!”

 

“Now that's a good boy.” He said before tossing Haku to the ground and placing a foot on her back. “Come on out fellas this is the real one. He's not stupid enough to risk another's life, he's still just a silly kid!”

 

Naruto nails started to dig into his palms as he stood there angrily glaring at the man. As his two lackeys walked into the small clearing.

 

“Hold him still. I'm going to show him what happens to people when they try to be hero's.”

 

Naruto was shoved to the ground and pinned before having his head pulled up-right by his hair causing him to hiss in pain.

 

The leader smiled as he placed his ax on the ground and lifted Haku up by the throat before slapping her twice in rapid succession. Naruto's eyes went wide as he started struggling wildly. “NO! Stop IT! STOP IT !!!!!!”

 

The thugs simply laughed as their leader pulled out a kunai, and slowly dug it into Hakus' shoulder.

 

`She's going to die. Die! Die!'

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~

 

Naruto's voice caught in his throat when he noticed the scenery had suddenly changed.

 

“What's going on?” He stated worriedly as he looked around the sewer like area. “Where is everyone?” He whispered while searching the Pipe like area. “What happened to the thugs? Where's Haku?!”

 

A few second past before Naruto decided on his cores of action. `I have to get back to Haku!' He took off running trying to find his way out of the pipe maze only to end up at a bared opening. “Damn it!” He yelled kicking one of the bars before turning and running back down the corridor he'd come form.

 

“WAIT!” Hearing the voice, Naruto tried stopping in mid stride; only to end up falling on his face.

 

`That voice? I've heard it before, I'm sure of it.' Jumping back up he raced back to the barred off area.

 

“Hello?!” His voice echoed loudly in the open space.

 

Soulless laughter boomed from the shadows beyond the bars. Naruto stood transfixed by the ominous sound; a mere ten feet from the bars. Suddenly a pair of ivory colored claw shot out stopping about six inches from Naruto face. Naruto let out a cry of fear as he fell on his butt while trying to backpedal. “What are you?” His voice held nothing, but fear and confusion.

 

“Who am I, you ask?Who am I, indeed?To believe I was sealed in such a pathetic container,by a mortal man that bore such astriking resemblance to my host. Of all the irony; But fret not boy,for I will one day feast upon yourbones.”

 

“Y-You're the Kyuubi?”

 

“Don't speak so lightly of me. Such a weak container, you're lucky to still be alive. So weak…”

 

The original fear that Naruto had felt was faded quickly as he look at his surroundings. “You're stuck behind those bars aren't you?” He watched as the Kyuubi's eyes narrowed and a dark growl emerged from the foxes' mouth.

 

“Have you merely come here to agitate me, or maybe you've decided to offer yourself as a meal.”

 

Naruto gripped his fist tighter as he set his face in a grim determination. “Don't act so high and might fox. You may have been strong when you were on the outside, but this is my body and my rules! It's time you paid some rent, and since you've nothing to give; I'll be taking your chakra as payment!” A dark chuckle reverberated off the walls after Naruto's speech.

 

“Well, I suppose I can't kill you; for if you die,I die as well.You've impressed me by making it this far, and for having the audacity, or impudence to stand before me, either way, as a reward, I'll lone you my chakra.”

 

Naruto's eyes went wide as red chakra suddenly appeared in front of him and snaking its way up his legs to his throat before tightening painfully.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~

 

Naruto eye's cleared to show him the real world.

 

“I”LL KILL YOU!” Red chakra swiftly encased his body. Naruto heard two screams of pain just as the weight on his back disappeared.

 

“What are you two idiots doing get him!”

 

“He burns Boss!”

 

Naruto looked up at the thug holding Haku. `I want to kill him…I want to tear his head off… I want him to bleed. ' Naruto's eyes were now that of the Kyuubi, blood shot, red irises, and black cat like pupils. The whisker markings upon his face thickened, while his nails became more like claws, and his mind became that of an enraged single minded animal.

 

Naruto was hit with a wave of senbons from behind. Which drew his attention towards the scrawny thug. “Die!” Naruto charged forward performing a series of hand seals. “Jagged Ice!” he slammed his hands onto the ground.

 

The thug was thrown from the ground as large jagged mounds of ice erupted from the ground, impaling his right arm, lower chest, and legs, leaving him stranded in the air bleeding to death.

 

“Did you forget about your little friend?” The thug didn't sound very confident as his voice cracked. While holding his ax to Hakus' throat.

 

The wave of killer intent suddenly intensified as Naruto turned his eyes towards the lead thug before charging. The thug now feeling the true weight of Naruto's killer intent tried throwing Haku at Naruto in hopes of making a quick escape. When Naruto ducked under Haku; all the lead thug could do was raise his large ax's into a feeble block, before Naruto punch through both of them sending him into a tree. Slowly walking forward Naruto grabbed him by the throat before savagely running his fist through the thugs' chest.

 

Naruto was so absorbed in his blood lust he didn't notice the chubby thug until the spiked ball slammed into his arm sending him stumbling to the side, only to be yanked back in the opposite direction the second he got some footing; one of the spikes had been lodged in his arm. Angry eyes landed on the chubby thug, but surprisingly the thug was still able to move, even under such overwhelming killer intent.

 

“I wont die here! You freak, you monster!” The thug gave a hard jerk on the chain yanking Naruto off his feet and forcing him to fall on his face.

 

“Die!” Naruto whispered while pushing himself up and out of the snow. “DIE!”He shouted once he was standing up right. He gripped the spiked chain tightly with both hands, cutting deeply into his flesh, growling Naruto yanked the chubby thug off his feet; sending the thug towards himself. Once within reach Naruto looped the spiked chain around the thugs' neck, then savagely yanked the chain forcefully decapitating the chubby mans' head.

 

“More! More blood!” He searched the surrounding field before his eye's landed on an unconscious Haku. `Blood.' He thought with a smile. Walking forward the smile on his face slowly started to fade along with the red chakra that was surrounded his body. `Blood, more blood? Why?'

 

`No you want to kill, you have to kill the bad people…killthem all.'

 

`Bad people? Yes, but the bad people are dead, I don't want to kill anymore.'

 

`No; there's one right there.Look.'

 

`But I-I know her… don't I? Do I?'

 

`No; you have to k----' Naruto ignored the voice in his head trying to bring back his fuzzy memories. `I know this person. I do, I know I do. I don't want to kill her!'

 

“I WON'T!”The red chakra dissipated as swiftly as it'd come, and Naruto fainted, landing face down in the snow beside Haku. The blizzard started to pick up speed as both lay unconscious slowly being covered in fine white snow.
