-#-#-#

“Melek in Olum…Angel of Death…You have a mission report…”


“It’s time…” the well dressed blonde man sat rifling through papers. “It’s time to set it all into motion, do you hear me?” There was a hysterical, laugh from the shadows. “Yessss…oh yessss…you shall have your war…” the blonde man smiled.

Yes.

It was time.

Sasuke sighed for what seemed like the millionth time, his life was perfect now. For the first time in a long time he had love, an all consuming type... the type where he could think of nothing but gorgeous blond hair , that summery blue eye, acres of hard tanned flesh…trailing off he blushed slightly. Sasuke wasn’t even sure what they were lovers? Boyfriends? He had no idea, Naruto had been called out soon after there night together. He’d left with a kiss and a promise to return to him soon…that had been almost a week ago now and to say that Sasuke was a little miffed was an understatement.

Laying the book aside he’d been reading the black haired ninja closed his eyes, he was just going to rest…just for a minute…

“Sasuke wake up! Oh please wake up!” Springing to life Sasuke had the intruder pinned to the wall in an instant, growling he registered the pink hair and the fearful green eyes. “Sakura?” releasing her he stepped back, “Sorry you startled me,” his partner was almost in tears. “Sakura?” concerned he held his hand out to her, “Oh Sasuke it’s awful! You have to come quick we have to get to the Hokage!” confused Sasuke crossed his arms, “Why? What’s the bi-” a sudden explosion nearby rocked the apartment complex.

Staggering the pair regained their equilibrium before rushing to the living room window. Sticking his head out Sasuke glanced around trying to locate the source of the sudden interruption. “I don’t se-” another explosion followed by screams and the sight of fleeing civilians. Wide crimson eyes almost didn’t comprehend what they were seeing….”No it’s not possible it can’t be…” another earth crunching blast took off the side of a building to the left of them. “We have to go…now!” grabbing Sakura by the hand he launched out of the window hitting the ground at a dead run he made a b-line for the headquarters and the Hokage.

Apparently they weren’t the only ones with that idea, there was a sea of civilians with the same plan. Make it to the Hokage and to safety. The heart of the city was already packed with people as Sasuke and Sakura leapt towards the centre were a white robe could be seen. There shouts and cries from the people for help and direction the man himself looked haggard and older then he ever had before.

“Hokage!” Sasuke yelled coming to a halt before him, “What do we do? Where are the rest of the ninja’s?” breathing lightly dark eyes scanned the crowed few ninja’s, seeing mostly families and innocents. “Sasuke….I….there all out on missions…it was all planned. He took them away and waited; now he attacks.” Unable to comprehend the disjointed babblings Sasuke grabbed the old man; “We need to protect the people!” running back towards the front of the crowd Sakura and Sasuke took up position with the few remaining ninja’s. Iruka and Kakashi among them, “What do we do?” Sakura whispered to no one in particular. Another blast and the screams all around as people panicked and frightened crawled all over each other to safety.

Iruka looked as lost as the rest of them, “I don’t….I don’t know what to do…” The side a store flew off nearby. Out of the smoking rubble a figure emerged, a figure very familiar to Sasuke. A short, rather large man with wiry hair…and that overwhelming sense of power. “Where issss he old man? Where is your warrior of dark?” Laughing hysterically he threw another ball of pure charka at the building closest to the people. “I’m waiting for him…” a high pitch giggle was heard then the sudden appearance of hundred of men dressed in black…all ninja’s.

The Hokage joined Sasuke and Sakura on the front line standing tall before the oncoming horde. “You will fail here Ichiro…you kill no one but innocents here.” Laughing again the man dashed forward with lightning speed stopping inches from the Hokage’s face. “I’m here for your city old man…he wantssss it…he will have it before night fallsssss. This war will be won by my massssster.” Just as fast he was gone again, and confused eyes moved to the Hokage.

“What does he mean?” Sasuke had a terrible feeling that these weren’t new enemies they were dealing with. “He speaks of a man named Jingo…a man who will stop at nothing to put this city under his rule. He’s power hungry and evil; he will not stop till he achieves his ends.” Sighing the old ninja seemed to sag, “We need a hero…” Sakura whispered tears in her eyes, “This…there is nothing we can do?” Sasuke couldn’t…wouldn’t die without a fight. Squaring his shoulders he stood tall as they advanced for the final assault on what was left of the city. “I will die fight for this city,” gathering charka he stood firm joined by Sakura then Iruka and Kakashi.

“Be foolssss it matterssss little to me…” laughing Ichiro gave the command to attack the end was before them.

One moment there was a wall of ninja and the next there was a crack, as if by some unnatural force a large six foot sword was imbedded before the oncoming enemy. Confused and surprised they stopped, milling about waiting for direction working his way forward Ichiro giggled spotting the blade. “Come out and play Melek in Olum….come out and play with me.” A large dark ninja appeared hands pressed tightly together in the pose of a ninjitsu. The aura was oppressive and scary.

The gasp from Sakura reached Sasuke’s ears as the mummer of Melek in Olum spread through the crowd, Sasuke however clenched his fists in helplssness…”Naruto…” he whispered. Drawing the blade from the ground the dark ninja faced the on coming horde. “Leave them Ichiro, this is between you and me,” his voice was low and dangerous. Smiling the small man bowed mockingly, “Of courssse we fight now!” throwing a ball of charka once again aiming for the defender of the village, and so began the epic battle.

A hush fell over the crowd as every pair of eyes turned to the figures battling in the centre of everything. The atmosphere was a palpable thing, this was to the end, here and now and the very lives of everyone present, the future of the village rested on the outcome of the battle between these two men. The defender of the village who they were all depending on was only known to two men; one who was watching with a grim determination, the other was worriedly hoping that he would return from this unscathed.

“You are good Melek…very good but why are you fighting for them? What have they ever done for you?” Grunting Naruto heaved a ball of energy, “Why do you care Ichiro? I could ask the same of you.” Laughing hysterically the man dodged the attack neatly, “Ahhh but Melek every man hasss hisss price…and mine isss very pricey.” Returning an attack he dodged lightning quick throughout the city, Naruto easily kept pace. “That’s were your wrong Ichiro, I have no price…” with a heave he threw the stout man into a building watching as he crashed through the other side.

The battle continued to rage on seemingly no side could obtain the upper hand in the dual of sheer power. The crowd below watched in awe hardly daring to breathe for fear of missing a moment. A sudden surge of power and figure hurtled to the ground before Sasuke, groaning Naruto heaved himself to his feet feeling his mask crumble from his face. Wincing he gently touched his already healing side the last blast had taken a real chunk out of him. Shaking his head he looked up as Ichiro laughingly landed about fifty feet from him. “Issss that all you have Melek? The great defender of thisss village? The Angel of Death or just ssssimple Umazaki Naruto?”

Those closest to the front heard the taunt, and the news spread rapidly though out the crowd as people jostled to get a better look at the sudden unmasked Melek in Olum. Sakura gasped covering her mouth, “No…Naruto…” Iruka and Kakashi were in similar states of shock. Shaking blonde hair Naruto turned his back on the man currently laughing at the tremendous chaos he continued to inflict on people.

Growling with hatred Naruto rushed the figure flinging everything he had at the man, shouting but not understanding the words pouring from his lips. With a final tremendous yell he threw the largest ball of pure charka he could, standing amidst the rubble panting, as a fine sheen of sweat and dirt covered his skin. As the dust began to settle the village gave a cheer as no one could have survived that attack. Their cheers soon died as a grim Naruto crouched in a fighting stance. There was that horrible grating chuckle from the untouched Ichiro, before Naruto felt himself flinging through the air to land at the feet of Sasuke and the Hokage.

Groaning Naruto got up to charge again, but unable to go far before being tossed back like a rag doll once again. “Well this is a pathetic showing Hokage,” A new voice, and a new figure materializing next to Ichiro. “Jingo…” the Hokage ground out as a worried Sasuke helped a beaten Naruto to his feet. Coughing Naruto wiped the blood from his chin. “Your famous angel of death Hokage, he’s killed hundreds of my men and yet in the end it just took one powerful, ninja to bring him down. I thought death was invincible.” Sneering Jingo looked across the crowed at all the terrified faces staring back from the crowd. “Kill them all…my city has no room for weaklings.”

Terrified screams rippled through the crowd there was nothing more standing between them and death. Heaving himself forward Naruto growled as the pair of evil men before him. “Over my dead body,” smiling Jingo moved back slightly, “But of course my boy that is the point is it not?”

Gripping his shirt Naruto pulled the tattered black cloth off, growling low in his throat. “Iruka!” yelling he threw a glowing shurkin behind him to land at his former teacher’s feet, “If things go bad…straight through my heart.” Shocked Sasuke ran towards his love, only to run up against a barrier. A shield that shimmered faintly in the dying light of day. “Naruto what are you doing!” banging his fist futilely against the shield he watched in helpless horror to the drama unfolding five feet away from him.

“We end it all now Ichiro …Jingo…I’ll send you to hell.” With a harsh cry Naruto folded forward, “Demon fox! I call you forth!” with a cry his head snapped back both eyes glowing red. Fingers and toes took on claw like semblance as sharp fangs appeared. Most impressive of all was the giant simmering visage of the demon that appeared above the glowing man. The aura was off the scale and for the first time in a long time Ichiro felt fear. Jingo not far behind pushed his lackey forward, “Go ahead kill him…” with a howl Naruto ran forward, speed unmatched and unable to follow.

Hauling back Naruto drove his arm forward into Ichiro’s chest, before the stout man had time to react. His hand and forearm appearing out the man’s back. “No…” choking as blood spilled out of his mouth Ichiro looked at the arm growing out of him, “No…cannot be…” with a shuddering sigh he slumped forward dead.

Jingo didn’t not stick around to watch Naruto pull a blood soaked arm out of the man heart in hand. Laughing madly the blond now demon turned slited eyes the other man…the man reeked of fear, he was running. The hunt was on. Howling again Naruto surged after him panting in anticipation of spilling more life blood, his claws sinking deep into soft flesh…humans were so easy to kill.

Sasuke stood unmoving as he watched Naruto…no not his Naruto, a demon Naruto chase down the man known as Jingo. He didn’t stand a chance. The demon was on him ripping his head from his body, reveling in the spilt blood. Sasuke almost felt sympathy for the men trapped outside with the demon as the once man was on them reveling in the carnage and howling in delight as chaos and blood reigned.

Unable to watch Sakura turned away, as Iruka clutched the still glowing shurken tight. Most of the men scattered and when Naruto finished with the men he was able to get. Just like that the battle was over, they had won, and yet a demon awaited them now.

Suddenly the fox turned to those hidden by the shield dashing forward the demon ran head long into the protective encasement. Howling in rage he clawed at it for several minutes before stepping back. With a grin and wave of his hand, the shield disappeared, and they were at the mercy of the fox.

“Old man…you are mine!” snarling the demon leapt at the Hokage. The same moment Iruka threw the shurken his aim was true and with a small grunt the demon was halted. Standing perfectly still for a split second he crumpled to the ground. The glowing aura and fox dissipated with a howl of rage and the body of Umazaki Naruto lay motionless among the blood of rubble of the war torn city.
