Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Naruto: Key wielder ❯ the blade ( Chapter 2 )

Blade Awakened

 

“Now that you have agreed,” The woman then lifted her staff and made the shadows swirl into a form. “This is the first opponent. If you defeat it, a different one shall appear as soon as its predecessor is killed.” The shadows then became a small creature with antennae and bright yellow eyes. Naruto then drew his kunai and waited for the signal. “Go.”

 

At that, both Naruto and the creature lunged for each other. Naruto then finished it off with a quick swipe. As soon as the creature was gone, a different creature stabbed him through his heart. He then watched as it started to come out of him as pink thing. He fainted at the sight of it, still standing. The woman then chuckled and spoke, “How gullible this one was. As if he thought I, Maleficent, would keep my word. He will make a fine addition to my army.” She watched intently as Naruto's heart fully left his body. He fell to his knees and started turning as black as the creature he fought.

 

After that, an orange aura snatched the heart and shoved it back into the body. Maleficent then saw in awe as the body rose, surrounded by the aura that saved his heart. A voice came from the boy that was not his own, “You'll pat fir trying that.” He uttered in a growl. He then went on all fours and charged at Maleficent. She countered by summoning a large creature with a single horn and of black and blue coloring. Naruto wiped it out with the charge meant for Maleficent, who had fled after summoning the other creature, the aura streaking in the night. “I'll leave the brat the power he got from saving his humanity.” Naruto then fainted again after a hilt appeared in his hand.

 

A few moments later, Naruto awoke as himself as Mizuki stood over him, with a kunai to his throat. Naruto responded by doing the jutsu he learned from the scroll (If you don't know, it is the thousand doppelganger jutsu). After beating Mizuki, he noticed a hilt with no blade where he woke up. A voice in his head said, “ Finally awake numbnuts? Pick that up.” It stated simply.

 

“Why?”

 

“It is yours anyways.” At that, Naruto grasped it firmly. “Now channel chakra into it.”

 

Before he did that he said, “Who are you?”

 

“Your inheritance from the fourth.”

 

“The nine-tailed fox!?”

 

“Hey, your not as dumb as you look. And you look pretty dumb. You gonna put chakra in there or not?”

 

Naruto put a fair chunk of chakra into the hilt, and watched as the hilt sprouted a shining blade with a luster to rival all the metals. The blade looked like water turned to metal, a metal that reflected moonlight as if it were sunlight. The hilt also transformed into the shape of a snarling fox. “What the fuck is this?”

 

“Iunno. It was in here when I shoved your heart back into body.” At that, Naruto remembered the lady with green skin. He asked the fox what happened, and it actually explained what happened. When the fox finished, Iruka found him and an unconscious Mizuki. He asked Naruto what happened with Mizuki. Naruto gave him the whole story, leaving the fox out as it had asked. Naruto was then given Iruka's headband and called a graduate.
