Naruto Namikaze: Dark Kitsune

Chapter 8: Confrontation Pt. 3

By: FireStyleTerrell

"Come on Mishina! Don't let that old hag beat you!" Takahime screamed out, making Ino burst out laughing at the insult thrown at her childhood rival.

Mishina stood up with quivering legs and glared at the older female with all the hatred she could muster. The young girl knew even with cushioning Sakura's blows with a pocket of air, her body was still taking quite a beating. She knew Sakura was much more powerful than herself, but this was just ridiculous. Mishina now watched as Sakura Uchiha just stood there with her eyes closed. To all the inexperienced shinobi the pinkette was just standing there, but to Mishina something about this felt familiar. As she looked closer Sakura's skin had become shinier as if she was coated in sweat, blue stripes ran from the corner of her eyes to her cheeks, and down her neck. When she finally opened her eyes, they were whiter than those of the Hyuga Clan.

"What the fuck?" Sasuke cursed as he curiously gazed at his wife.

"Since when could forehead do that?" Ino questioned in shock at Sakura's transformation.

"Looks like Sakura-chan has been keeping more than a few secrets." Naruto commented in disgust.

Back with the dueling females, Mishina was slightly shaking in anticipation. The power Sakura was exuding should've put fear into the little girl. But instead Mishina was excited to get the brawl underway.

"Sorry it took me so long... You see I don't have shadow clones like your father to gather nature chakra for me." Sakura said, making everyone's eyes widen.

"The slugs taught you Sage Mode." She uttered with a scowl.

"Master Tsunade couldn't be the Slug Queen forever especially when she's dead. On top of that I surpassed her long ago so it's only right they taught me what she never had the patient to learn. Just like Lord Jiraiya who also stupidly rebuked the Sage Mode for its looks, Master Tsunade let her vanity keep her from attaining a great asset." Sakura explained haughtily, not caring how many people she was pissing off with her comments.

Light purple colored chakra began to roll off the young girl in waves as she stared back at Sakura with her Oninomegan.

"You will regret disrespecting the memory of my great grandfather, and for your information Granny Tsu-chan isn't dead! Dad will find her and bring her home to the leaf... And that's a promise of a lifetime!" Mishina growled as eight bubbling tails formed along with her purple foxlike chakra cloak.

"Little girl I've faced down actual monsters... you don't scare me one bit." Sakura sneered.

Mishina cracked a smirk before chains came out of her back and formed a barrier big enough to keep her, and Sakura secluded inside the arena's field. Naruto's eyes narrowed as he witnessed his daughter use a technique that was only know to his mother, Kushina Uzumaki.

"You won't escape this hell!" Mishina roared before flickering behind the pink haired Sage only to be backhanded into the barrier of chains. Sakura appeared in front of Mishina and held her up by the neck, then proceeded to pound away at the little girl's body.

Sakura dropped the demonic child who now having a coughing fit. Mishina regained her bearings then tried for an uppercut. The Slug Sage bent backwards then tried for an uppercut herself which Mishina narrowly dodged then kneed Sakura in the chin. Mishina used that moment to put some distance in between the two of them so she could catch her breath. The Uchiha matriarch narrowed her eyes at the breathless child, as Mishina stabilized her breathing then charged a Rasengan in her right hand.

"Rasengan!" The eight tailed child yelled with her sights set on Sakura.

Sakura met Mishina head on and kept her Rasengan at bay with her palm. The pink haired sage clenched her hand closed thus dispersing Minato's legendary jutsu. She then choke slammed Naruto's daughter into the dirt, and pounded away at her small frame. Mishina's pain-filled cries echoed through the arena.

Sasuke and his children listened to the hushed whispered about the once esteemed Uchiha matriarch. Hebimaru gripped his chair until his knuckles whitened, and Takahime kept her eyes on her mother who was bringing shame to their family.

"Sakura stop it! What is wrong with you!" Ino cried out after watching Mishina cough up another large amount of blood. Sakura complied by punting Mishina across the field into a tree. She continued with yet another leap, and landed a sage powered double foot stamp into the torso of the young blonde

"Naruto you have to get in there and stop this please! She's just a baby!" Karin pleaded.

"She chose this when they decided to go after Sakura, they chose to make our matches no holds barred, Soran chose their own fate so why change it? Besides with the Chakra Chain Barrier up no one can get in." Naruto said emotionlessly.

Karin and Ino just sat there in disbelief at Naruto reaction to his daughter's torment. The cold change in the blonde fox was not welcomed at all. Suddenly a loud snap jerked their heads to the arena to see Sakura standing on both of Mishina's now shattered forearms. Her scream made the entire stadium's occupants cringe with sympathy.

"Headmaster... maybe we should stop this now... this has gotten way out of hand." One of the teachers said worriedly.

"I cannot. As much as I hate to admit it... everything that is happening is well within the boundaries of the rules. Even still I'm very ashamed of my old student's actions." Iruka said solemnly.

Back on the field Mishina was writhing in agony. The pain from her shattered bones was excruciating and her vision was starting to blur in and out. This couldn't possibly be her limit but Sakura seemed light years ahead of her. The Namikaze heiress starting thinking to herself… maybe this was how Hebimaru felt going against her father. Even in her eight tailed form she still wasn't a match for Sakura, and her forbidden jutsu was now out of the question thanks to her destroyed limbs. The more she thought about losing to Sakura the angrier she got.

"No... not like this! I refuse to lose to that evil bitch! I need... no... I WANT more POWER!" Mishina growled out as her ninth tailed formed behind her.

"Uh-oh..." Kunato said excitedly.

"She's in for it now." Shikamari said with a smile.

Yet while their friends got riled up, Hebimaru saw something wrong. Mishina was struggling; she looked to be fighting something... internally. It was the throaty animalistic roar that set off Naruto's senses.

The Namikaze princess' now black colored chakra began to shroud the area around her. A faraway memory of Naruto's four-tailed transformation flashed in her mind, and Sakura was smart enough to jump back to the other end of the field to better assess this new development. The evil she felt from the little girl reminded her of that day from long ago and it sent chills down her spine. Suddenly Mishina was silent with the dark shroud still keeping her from view until... It was dispersed by two black bat-like wings.

Naruto's eyes widened considerably while everyone else looked on with interest at Mishina's new form. Her chakra tails had become tangible black tipped fox tails, her extended claws now black as night, and onyx horns extended from her black streaked hair.

"Hmph a monster just like her father." Sakura said with a sneer, as she stalked towards the child with a chakra enhanced fist. Sakura reared her fist back and charged until suddenly she stopped. Sakura was now staring wide eyed at Mishina who stood in the same spot, only now she was holding Sakura's limb. The Slug Queen inspected her body to find everything from her right elbow on down in the possession of Mishina.

"I'm going to enjoy tearing you apart woman." Mishina said in a demonic voice that only one person recognized.

Suddenly without warning Naruto's power exploded sending everyone around him flying in the opposite direction. His nine golden tails thrashed about wildly behind him as his features were almost as demonic as his daughter's. They were witnessing the full power of an angry and scared Naruto.

"Kuramaaaa!" Naruto roared before rocketing toward the barrier enclosed field.

Mishina looked up with amused demonized eyes at her father before a crazed grin broke out across her face.

"Ahh Naruto. Don't worry boy, I'll be with you as soon as I'm done with the pink whore over here." Mishina said with glee.

"NO! Give her back! GIVE ME BACK MY DAUGHTER! KYUBIIII!" Naruto screamed while he pounded away at the chain barrier.

"The Kyubi? How can Mishina be the Kyubi? What's going on?" Konohamaru asked but was unable to get any answers due to Naruto being the only who would know the truth. Unfortunately it looked as if Naruto didn't even have the answer this time.

Inside the barrier Dark Kurama stalked toward a pale Sakura who had reverted from her Sage Mode.

"W-What the fuck are you!" Sakura questioned as she tried to cease the loss of her blood.

Kurama just grinned and crouched down preparing to take off at Sakura. "What! No! How can you be interfering! You're dead and gone!" Naruto stopped pounding at the chains to see his possessed daughter wrapped in her own chains.

"You will not torment my precious baby any longer!" Said another familiar voice from Mishina.

"Release me... KUSHINA!"Kurama roared, as he struggled against his restraints.

"Mom?" Naruto questioned as his transformation receded.

The barrier was released and the blonde dropped down into the arena. He inched towards his struggling daughter in a daze.

"Mom is that really you?" He asked causing the overly possessed child to look toward him.

"Yes sweetie. Unfortunately we don't have time for a family reunion." Kushina said a bit saddened. Suddenly Kunato landed in front of his sister, and quickly planted his hand into her abdomen.

"Five Pronged Seal!" Kunato yelled out in a voice that was also not his own.

Dad? You to?" Naruto asked as Mishina's devilish form was replaced by her normal look.

"Hiya son!" Minato chirped through his grandson.

"Minato dear don't tease him." Kushina reprimanded through Mishina.

"So how exactly are you guys here again?" Naruto asked still shocked.

"Well it turns out that jutsu I used on me and your mother doesn't completely die out. When the chakra that keeps us in existence expires it just takes time to recharge, and here we are again." Minato finished with a cheeky grin.

"Also when we transferred our chakra to save our grandbabies during their birth, that's when we found out we could move from person to person. I guess now you can think of us as chakra beings sorta like the bijuu, you know what I mean?" Kushina said with a grin.

"So how is Kurama here then?" Naruto asked with a hard glare.

"Didn't you ever wonder how you won against him so easily son?" Minato asked curiously.

"I won because he'd been weakened over the years on being locked inside me." Naruto said with narrow eyes. He could feel that his parents were about to throw his theory out the window.

"Kurama allowed you to win that fight, although he wasn't as weak as you'd think. He had a backup plan in case you ever tried to get rid of him. But like we said the bijuu are chakra beings so their kinda immortal… kinda. Oh hell Kushina you tell him I just can't do it." Minato whined as Kunato's cheeks turned a bit green.

"Kyubi split his soul in half and inserted it into one of your unborn children." Kushina said blankly and Kunato/Minato ran and threw up behind a tree.

"Are you saying he infected one of my sperm?" Naruto asked before following his father/son behind the tree to throw up.

"Oh you guys really need to grow up." Kushina deadpanned.

"Yea well what he was still inside you and one month he decided to insert himself into one of your eggs!" Minato yelled back at his wife. Seconds later the Namikaze family was all upchucking behind that poor tree.

"*groan* what was the reason for him fusing with my little ninjas." Naruto asked after wiping his mouth of stray vomit.

"He must've really wanted to be reborn." Kunato/Minato said with a chuckle.

"So now he's a part of my daughter." Naruto stated with gritted teeth.

"Pretty much kiddo, but unfortunately it's time for us to go Naruto." Kunato/Minato said sadly.

"He's right baby boy, they're gonna start wondering pretty soon. Don't worry we'll see you again soon." Mishina/Kushina said with a warm smile before her spirit faded from her granddaughter.

"See ya soon son." Kunato/Minato said before faded from his grandson.

The twins had slipped into the world of unconsciousness after having their bodies taken over, and Naruto now looked at his children with an emotionless face. He had too many thoughts running through his head right so he decided to take the twins home. After watching him gather up the Namikaze twins in his arms and vanish with a yellow flash, Iruka released a sigh of relief.

"I guess we finally end this madness that was supposed to be a fun experience to bring our students, teachers, and parents together. Instead we find out we have toddlers who should be in the Bingo Book." Iruka mused to himself while watching the medics attend to Sakura.

"I wouldn't be so sure of that Iruka." Kakashi said from behind the academy headmaster.

"Jeez Kakashi don't do that! You scared the living shit outta me!" Iruka shouted.

"Sorry about that." Kakashi said with an eye smile.

"It's fine. Anyway what did you mean?" Iruka asked seriously.

"Did you notice that none of the children had any scars or even looked like they'd been in battle?" Kakashi pointed out, making Iruka's eyes widen before turning to inspect said youngster who were across the arena.

"You're right but how?" Iruka asked stunned at what he was seeing.

"My guess is they didn't want to show any weaknesses so they used that genjutsu of theirs to hide themselves. Teji was supposedly had blinded himself during his fight with Neji and yet he was there during Naruto and Hebimaru's fight. Those kids are hurt more than we believe, and it's no way in hell they can such techniques without drawbacks. The only thing is they aren't showing us just how bad the repercussions are." Kakashi explained with a hard look.

"So how bad do you think they're injured?" Iruka asked while still watching his students

"Well after going against their parents they should be hospital bound by the morning." Kakashi said with a light chuckle.

~x Later that Night x~

"You guys are lucky. If you prolonged your battles then the damages might've been extensive." Said the medic nin overlooking Soran's injuries.

"Will we get better?" Kunato asked before twitching.

"Well Kunato you're lightning jutsu has slighty disturbed your nervous system. Which is the cause your twitches, you have two cracked ribs, but other that you're fine. You'll be completely healed in two weeks. Hebimaru… you have third degree burns on 10% of your body and since it was treated right away you have any scars, but there will be some skin discoloration in those areas. Shikamari you're fit as a fiddle. Takahime you're going have some headaches for a while due to the strain of your Magatama Sharingan. You'll be fine around the same as your brother. Mishina… you're completely fine. You don't have so much as a scratch on you. Teji… I don't know the exact time frame but you'll be blind for a period of time. You have six broken ribs, a punctured lung, a torn tendon in your thigh, and you had some internal bleeding. All in all I was able to patch you guys so with a few weeks of rest you'll all be back to normal." Their nurse chirped with a smile.

"Well that's a relief. I guess we won't be training anymore for a while." Mishina said disheartened.

"I just want you kids to promise me you won't try something so reckless again. Jutsu like those require more than just a few months of training. You must practice for years before you can use them with consequence." The medic said sternly.

"We promise Hinata-chan!" They all chimed.

"And you must promise not to tell our parents where our secret academy is." Shikamari said with hard glare.

"Yea we want to heal here where it's peaceful instead of that sickening hospital." Said a twitching Kunato.

"Don't worry your secret is safe with me, and I'll come check on you guys every day. If you follow my orders about no training then I'll bring you cinnamon buns." Hinata said with a teasing smile while the children's mouths began watering. "Alright give me hugs I gotta get going lest they start trying to locate me." Hinata said before kneeling down to hug her favorite young shinobi.

"See ya tomorrow Hinata-chan." Takahime chirped happily as the Hyuga heiress departed.

It wasn't even five minutes after she left when Soran heard Hinata's secret knock.

"That silly doctor must've forgot some medical supplies." Mishina said with a sigh as she made her way to the door of Soran Academy.

~x Elsewhere x~

Hinata was making her way away from the Forest of Death when a chill ran down her spine. She glanced back into the dark forest from whence she came, but in the end she continued on her way back to the Hyuga Compound. Strangely all the way home there was a voice in the back of her head telling her to go back.

The next day was a dreadful one for one Hinata Hyuga. She stood in front of the smoldering remains of Soran Academy. Tears burst from her eyes as frantically began sifting through the charred wreckage. There were no bodies and Soran's Forbidden Scroll was nowhere to be found.

"How could this have happened! Who would do this to them?" Hinata thought desperately until she heard a crack beneath her feet. She looked down and her eyes widened at what she come across. A scoffed blank mask with one symbol laid broken under her foot. It was the mask a ROOT operative. Suddenly Hinata went from worried to pissed in 2.5 seconds. She knew exactly who was behind this. The blue haired woman collected the discarded disguise and took off full speed for the village where all hell would break loose.

~x Council Room x~

"Other than that things have been relatively quiet." Hiashi finished stoically.

"Now that the official matters are out of the way, let's talk about what we saw yesterday from those children." Came Homura's gruff voice.

"I don't think that's necessary Homura-san" Kakashi said blankly.

"Oh but I think is Kakashi. Those children should not be that powerful at such a young age." Koharu said venomously.

"Is that why you've been keeping Danzo's kid hidden from the rest of the village." Naruto said with cold.

The two elders looked at the young clan head with widened orbs and dropped jaws. It was Homura who recovered first and decided to try and put out the rising fire.

"I don't know where you heard such a thing Lord Namikaze, but Danzo fathered a child." Homura gruffly defended.

"Hmph yea ok… whatever you say. Either way we aren't talking about our children so this meeting is over." Naruto countered then rose from his seat.

It was then Hinata came bursting into the room panting and out of breath. With her pale eyes fixated on the two elders she finally stabilized her breathing. She threw the lost mask to the middle of the table for all of them to see. Everyone on the shinobi side suddenly stared at the mask with hardened glares, and the civilian side stared at it curiously. Unfortunately Naruto caught the slight twitch in Koharu's eyebrow after recognizing the disguise.

"Hinata what's the meaning of this? Why do you have a ROOT anbu mask?" Her father asked seriously.

"For some time I've been the personal medic for Soran. Whenever they got hurt they would send for me and I would meet them at their secret training spot deep inside the forest of death. After checking over their injuries from the tournament I left them to recover at their private academy. Upon returning today I found the school burned to ground with the children no where in sight, their forbidden jutsu scroll missing, and this mask buried under the rubble. So tell me what have you old bastards done?" Hinata finished her face red from anger and her byakugan ablaze.

"Hopefully the little monsters are dead." Said one of the civilian council members. Seconds later his head was on the floor.

"Oh my god! Tamaru!" Screamed another civilian council as Tamaru's blood showered over her.

They all looked up to see Sasuke sheathing his wakizashi before he turned towards Homura and Koharu. The elders stared defiantly into Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

"What the fuck! Is this what we've been reduced to? Being murdered by our own shinobi? What he said was the truth! Personally I hope the little fuckers are dead as well." Yelled Chi. He was the civilian councilor of the village's marketing. Unfortunately his head rolled as well but this time Naruto was the one to deal the blow. Now they stared fearfully into Naruto's Oninomegan.

"Where are my children?" Naruto's demonic edged voice echoed.

"You'll never find them. Even we don't know where they are, and we had a Yamanaka that was loyal to Danzo wipe the memories of those who knew about the mission. The only who knows they're location is him." Koharu snidely remarked.

"Oh this won't end well." Sakio said with a sigh while the rest of the shinobi nodded.

In a blink of an eye the old woman was hoisted up into the wall behind her by the hand of Sasuke's Susano'o. She watched in terror as both young men stalked toward her with hatred in their eyes.

"Lord Hokage stop this injustice now!" Cried one of the council members, but his cries fell on deaf ears.

"One last time… where are they you fucking hag!" Sasuke growled out.

Even with the amount of pain she was in, the old woman still managed to spit in their faces.

"Tsukuyomi!"

"Oninomegan!"

While Sasuke tortured her mentally Naruto clawed at her very soul. The woman's screams of agony made the council members cringe until their nails dug into their hand and drew blood. Suddenly the screams were silenced by the sound of her body being crushed by the mighty grip of Susano'o. The startling squelching sound made them all jump while Hinata vomited. The two young men turned back to the sickened audience with blood splattered faces, and instantly Homura was hefted into the air by Naruto's chakra claw.

"Well old man… do we have to kill you to or will give us our children back?" Naruto growled out with bared fangs.

"If you kill me you'll never have your demon offspring returned to you. Now put me down boy and let's talk like adults." Homura strained out.

Naruto and Sasuke match the elder's glare without blinking.

"N-Naruto-kun… we need to hear him… at least for the children." Hinata said quietly. After seven long years she'd finally spoke to him again, Naruto finally regained his rational thoughts and set Homura down.

The old man coughed a few times and took several deep breaths. "Now I have a mission for you." Homura said with an arrogant smirk.

~o~

Well there we are guys sorry for taking so long to update. Having a job is much more time consuming than I thought haha, but I'm doing my best to keep my stories going.
