Opening his eyes one young blonde groggily turns his head to the side not recognizing the room that he was in.
Using his right hand to pull himself upright Naruto then brings both of his hands to his face and tries to rub the tiredness away.
Freezing completely the blonde separates his hands from his face with a surprised look "My arm is still attached. What did I eat to have such a nightmare?"
Standing up Naruto walks to the door and steps outside and breathes in the air.
Hearing something hit the ground Naruto completely wakes up immediately and looks towards the source as a brown haired girl in average clothing slightly older than him stands there with a basket at her feet.
Watching her as she suddenly starts blushing and turns away, Naruto tilts his head to the side in wonder.
Looking around to see what would cause that reaction the blonde doesn't find anything. Thinking about it for a moment he looks at his attire or well lack thereof.
Blushing himself the blonde says "Excuse me." and steps back into the cabin and put his boxers and pants on.
Grabbing the tattered jacket Naruto walks back out to the girl and apologizes "I'm sorry, I didn't realize that I wasn't wearing anything."
The young girl still fighting her blush down replies "No it's partly my fault I just wasn't expecting you to wake up so soon."
An awkward silence develops between the two.
"Um, did you take care of my wound?" asked the boy while gripping his right arm at the point where it was cleaved off.
Shaking her head the girl replies "No, it was already healed when I heard you collapse in the stream. You probably passed out from light headedness considering how bloody your sleeve was."
Looking at his arm the Naruto tries to put the girl at ease "I see I always did heal pretty quickly now that I think about it."
Clearing his throat the blonde asks "Where might we be? I was kind of out of it when I was injured and focused only on getting away."
Tilting her head to the side she replies "We're near Kagamino it's a small village toward the eastern end of the land of fire."
Lowering his guard Naruto says "I see thank you for helping me out ah um…"
Realizing that they hadn't introduced themselves the brunette says "Ah sorry about that my name is Chiharu it means one thousand springs."
Smiling Naruto says "My name is Satoru it's spelled as 'fast learner.'"
Clearing her throat Chiharu says "I brought some food for when you woke up. It's only sandwiches though."
Smiling Naruto tells her "That's more than enough. Thank you."
Blushing Chiharu says "Y-you should get some more rest I've got something to do so I'll be back later to check up on you."
Taking a bite of one of the sandwiches Naruto watches as Chiharu leaves.
Letting the smile fade away from his face Naruto quietly says "Status."
You are unaffected by any status effects.
"Alright the only other thing to check is 'stats'."

Sitting down Naruto says "So that's why I was feeling a little uneasy my health is still a bit from full. But then again anyone else would have likely died from that."
Sighing Naruto picks up another sandwich and starts eating it. 'This is pretty good I'll have to thank her when she returns.'
Finishing up the sandwich Naruto undoes the seal and pulls out the scroll for the shadow clone jutsu and reads through the details of the jutsu like last time. After a couple of hours Naruto stands up and stretches while saying "I think I've got it."
Putting his hands in a cross and letting his chakra surge from within Naruto activates the jutsu.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Being engulfed by the excess smoke Naruto coughs a couple of times while a window pops up in front of him.
You have preformed the shadow clone jutsu
on your first try and acquired 20% mastery.
Scratching his head Naruto says "well that went better then I thought it would."
You have wasted 84% of the chakra used
in making the shadow clones appear.
"…" silently starring at the message in front of him Naruto turns his head away and lets out a sigh.
Having the couple of clones dispelling themselves Naruto takes another bite of the sandwich while thinking 'this is really good just not as good as ramen.'
Finishing off the sandwiches Naruto makes a couple of shadow clones and has a couple of them hide in the trees and the others take a look around for any danger as he steps into the cabin and lays down to rest a bit more.
After several moments Naruto notices his scout clones have dispelled and says "So that's the memory transfer that was mentioned in the scroll."
Raising his right hand up the blonde starts pushing his chakra to his arm and uses chakra enhancement.
"That really is odd it feels, looks, and even performs like normal but that should be impossible after all, my arm was…"
Shaking his head the young gamer ponders for a few minutes before realizing that the gamer's body skill is likely responsible for his arms regeneration.
Turning to the side and pulling the blanket over him Naruto goes to sleep.
-Four days later-
Doing sit ups Naruto continues counting out loud "197...198...199...200!"
Standing up the blonde stretches his arms as one of his clones appears from an instance dungeon.
Looking over his shoulder at the clone Naruto asks "How was it?"
Saluting the clone reports "After beating down some giant rats a high level rat appeared and made escaping impossible so I eliminated it with extreme prejudice."
"I see any drops or skills upgraded worth mentioning."
Grinning the clone reached into the remains of his orange jumper and pulled out a small bag and a bottle with red liquid.
Taking the red liquid from the clone a prompt message appears.
Low quality health potion
Can be used to restore 150 HP
Letting out a low whistle the blonde takes the small bag and receives another prompt.
5000 Ryo
Opening his eyes wide Naruto asks "How difficult was it?"
The clone shrugs and says "It was fairly easy for a level 23 creature. And it dropped three items one of which was its front teeth."
Laughing awkwardly Naruto says "Thanks for sparing me of that surprise, but still what am I suppose to do with a rat's tooth?"
Letting out a sigh Naruto releases the clone and absorbs its memories. "Hoh, it was even larger than I expected."
Picking up a black t-shirt Naruto puts it on and walks over towards the cabin as he extends his senses to find Chiharu who normally brings him a small lunch everyday around this time.
Not feeling any emotions within the range of his ability the blonde frowns. Stepping into the cabin Naruto releases one of the books that his parents left for him and his sister. Uzumaki Fuinjutsu volume two written on the cover. Flipping the book open as the blonde sits down and silently starts reading.
After thirty minutes Naruto stands up as he reseals the book and walks out of the cabin. Sending his chakra out to one of his nearby clones the blonde activates the chakra link skill and has his vision split into two separate views. Sending a thought to his clone ordering it to connect with another clone. Repeating this process the original closes his eyes as his vision continues to be divided between the twenty clones spread in a disorderly web like fashion giving another mental command the blonde flairs his chakras his clones do the same.
'Activate empathy.' flinching the original puts his hand against the wall of the cabin as he rubs his forehead seeing and sensing what his clones can the blonde cuts the link with his clones then creates another clone that heads into the cabin.
Speaking up Naruto gives a command "Search the area for anything unusual let me know when you find anything. I'm going to the village to see if something happened. Scatter."
After confirming the clones had set off Naruto starts heading to the village at a rather quick pace thinking 'I hope that I'm just over thinking things.'
After a couple of minutes Naruto's empathy skill starts picking up several emotions ranging from hatred, fear, helplessness, glee, and even bloodthirsty joy.
Shivering Naruto speeds up and leaps up on top of one of the buildings to get a better view only to come upon a scene that could be described in a couple of words for instance massacre, hell, or insanity.
Watching as one of the villagers is slashed by a weird three bladed scythe the blonde stares stupidly as the short man with shaggy brown hair retracts the scythe and licks the blood.
Stepping back the man with the scythe enters a diagram and has some sort of skeletal markings appear. As he yells "JASHIN-SAMA ACCEPT MY SACRIFICE HAHAHAHAHA."
Questioning the sanity of the person in front of them the villagers try to run as the man swings his scythe at his own chest piercing vital organs as well as his heart.
Thinking the man would die from his apparent suicide Naruto looks to the villagers that were escaping and notices that one of them has stopped and started bleeding in three spots shocked by the villagers death Naruto looks back to the crazy person only to find that he had pulled out the scythe and dashed after the other villagers.
Before Naruto could intervene the remaining villagers were killed by two more people with scythes. Feeling fear Naruto creates several shadow clones and sends them out to find Chiharu and others that he could save before the madmen could get to them rushing towards one of the emotions that was being chased by a gleeful emotion.
Rushing forward the blonde appears just as a girl falls to the ground with a large gash on her back spreading from her shoulder to her hip.
Recognizing the mop of short wavy brown hair Naruto yells out her name "CHIHARU!" rushing to her side Naruto helps her sit up.
Blinking her blurry eyes Chiharu sees a mess of blonde hair she weakly says "Satoru …you have …to ru…"coughing up blood Chiharu squeezes the blondes hand before a pipe-sized cavity appears in her chest where her heart was at. Staring at the cavity Naruto glances at the madman and sure enough he had a sharp pole-like object stuffed into his chest.
Feeling his blood boil as tears start falling down his cheeks Naruto feels his chakra erupt with more force than he had ever felt as his eyes changed to red slits and a mass of red chakra enveloped his body.
You have tapped into the Kyuubi's chakra.
Tailed-beast cloak acquired.
Emotions have reached an unstable point.
Activating gamers mind.
Absolute Zero Mental Mode acquired
A/N WARNING: INTENSE GORE (Read to the next capital bold print to skip)
Seeing the messages appear Naruto took notice then dismissed them as his eyes turned into an icy-blue hue as the red chakra started seeping into his body creating burn marks and causing his hair to sway.
Calmly looking at the person before him Naruto makes the first move knocking the man out of his diagram while taking his scythe and removing his head in an instant. Grabbing the air born head Naruto holds it up inspecting it.
"THAT FUCKING HURT YOU LITTLE SHIT!" screamed the bodiless head causing the blonde to stumble from surprise.
Taking advantage of the blonde's surprise the head using gravity approaches the hand that tossed him up and bit down on his exposed fingers with all of his strength causing Naruto to wince.
Griping the head with the bitten hand Naruto swings the scythe across the madman's head cleanly removing his brain a grey matter lands on the ground.
You have acquired the title Immortal Slayer.
Not caring in the least Naruto stepped over to Chiharu's lifeless body and made a shadow clone to take her away from the carnage.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't save you the only thing that I can do is prevent this kind of disaster from repeating itself."
Sending the clone off Naruto looks back at the dead immortal and in a voice that could freeze hell seven-times over says "Don't worry your comrades will join you shortly."
Ripping the three bladed scythe off of the cord that was attached to the man's corpse Naruto rushes towards the next target and removes his brain as well as the arm of his comrade.
Yelling in pain the immortal uses the cord to bring his scythe to his remaining arm while gathering the attention of the other scythe users. Charging forward the man brings down the scythe on the blonde piercing his shoulder.
Grinning the man starts laughing until he heard the blonde speak "So slow."
Looking at the boy's eye's the man tries to leap back but reacted to slow as a bloodstained scythe rips through his brain.
Having seen their brother in arms killed the group watching directed pure unadulterated hatred at the young boy who was removing the scythe in his shoulder.
Tossing the second scythe to the ground Naruto tells them in the same ice cold voice from before "If you're not coming, then die were you stand."
In the next instant the several madmen that were about to charge fell to the ground with the tops of their heads missing.
Extending his empathy Naruto finds his next victim and vanishes leaving the corpses of the former immortals laying on the dirt road.
END OF THE GORE
Finishing the final immortal Naruto turns around and starts walking towards the cabin leaving a trail of blood and a dulled scythe behind him. After fifteen minutes of walking Naruto reaches the cabin were his shadow clone was watching over Chiharu as if she was only in a peaceful slumber.
Walking a few feet away Naruto bends down and puts his hands on the ground as he injects chakra to split the ground as beads of sweat as he used brute force to pull apart the earth in front of him.
After several minutes Naruto succeeded and placed Chiharu in the shallow hole and started covering her with the dirt that was pushed to the side once he finished the clone that took her to the cabin and watched over her came over with a wooden plank that he stabbed into the soil above her head. Dismissing the clone Naruto moves to the plank and carves out 'Chiharu' with one of his kunai.
Clasping his hands in prayer Naruto apologizes once more as several shadows drop down from the tree's looking back Naruto notices the animal masks as ANBU and the equipment belonging to Konoha.
"Naruto Uzumaki we have been sent to retrieve you by order of the hokage." spoke the dog masked ANBU with silver hair sticking out towards one side.
Naruto turns his head back to the freshly made grave and replies "Give me a moment."
One of the ANBU moves to grab the boy only to be stopped by the dog masked leader.
One the blonde boy stands and turns to the group of elites he asks "What happened to Mizuki?"
The dog mask replies "The traitors were eliminated after the fact. There is a village a short distance away, did you do that?"
Letting out a sigh Naruto tells them the truth "Civilians no the perpetrators yes."
Nodding the leader motions for one of them to check the boy's wounds.
A woman wearing a cat mask approaches with a green glowing hand and does a quick diagnostics "First degree burns, stab wounds that have mostly healed, and his arm is perfectly fine. He can be transported without problems."
Nodding the leader motions for one of the squad members to gather the survivors and escort them to the village.
Turning back to the young boy dog asks "Do you know how your arm regenerated so quickly?"
Shaking his head Naruto says "Not fully but I have an idea." placing his hand over his gut or more importantly the seal containing the nine-tailed fox making the elites freeze.
"I understand, we will be moving fast try not to struggle we will get you to the hospital to have you fully recuperated." spoke the cat masked woman in a gentle voice.
Nodding Naruto moves closer after confirming her emotions were genuine.
A/N: I'm not really into gory stuff so this chapter was likely one of the few times that there will be a scene like that, so those who are weak to those types of things please be ate ease. Happy Independence Day everybody, I hope you enjoyed the fireworks.
