The Truth Revealed

sorry about taking so long with this chapter I've had a major case of writers block

Chapter 20: Darkness arrives, The Demon of Konoha appears.

*2 months later*

Naruto had been very agitated over the last 2 months, between training his bloodline and Hinata he been edge. 2 weeks after his birthday the hokage told them that Hinatas pregnancy would only be between 5 and 6 months due to Kyuubi. Though Hinata was technicly in her first trimester her body was in her second, she was sporting a nice baby bump as Ino had started calling her belly. Her morning sickness was gone, but her mood swings had grown worse and the fact she had finally mastered the rasengan didn't help at all. He told her that the fox that had been sleeping by her was Kyuubi watching over her and the unborn child when he or his brother could not. At first she wasn't to keen on the idea but after awhile and a few strokes through his smooth fur she warmed up.

He was amazed the first time he had felt his child move for the first time, Hinata had moved into his room and he had felt the baby early one morning. He vowed at that time he would get stronger to protect his future wife and child, being hokage would make that possible. Hiashi and the hokage had said that they would be married by the end of next month the sooner the better. The Hyuuga elders were not happy to find that their heir would be birthing the child of Naruto, but both Hiashi and the hokage made it quite clear any acts against the couple would be viewed as treason and the ones responsible would be put to death on the spot. Hinata had not been to happy when she found out the Naruto had blabbed their secret to her father, but was happy to find that her father supported the fact that Naruto and her were starting a family.

Sasuke and Sakura had gotten very close over the last few months ever since that night at the Uchiha estate they spent most of their free time together, the only time they were apart was during missions or when Sakura was working in the hospital. Sasuke was actually open with his emotions with Sakura, even in public. Sasuke who used to be so cold was hugging and even kissing the pink haired medic for all to see. Sasuke had passed the chunin exams and got promoted his attire had changed as well he still wore his kimono but it had changed, instead of the purple cord hold it closed and holding his sword it was held by a simple black cord and white sash. On the back of the outfit there was a large Konoha leaf symbol and an Uchiha fan symbol on each shoulder. He even wore his forehead protector with the scratch still in it. Both he and Naruto training together coming up with new techniques and Sasuke was amazed at how much power the blonde had, he was also surprised that Naruto wasn't a Jounin yet it didn't make any sense.

Sasuke had noticed the change in Narutos attire as well as had the rest of their group and from what Sakura said it had it's ups and downs. She told him that on one mission that Naruto had gotten swarmed by a whole flock of teenage girls some older than him and that he now had is own fan club in the land of waves. Sasuke felt kinda bad for Naruto he remembered how the girls flocked around him when he was younger, but he felt even more bad for Narutos fan girls if Hinata ever found out. The Uchiha had wondered how the dobe handled her right now, he remembered a few weeks ago when Kiba made some sort of crude remark and he could have sworn Hinata must have knocked the dog man all the way to Suna.

*Naruto and Hinatas room*

Naruto had been awake most of the night his mind racing. Hinata was laying her head on his chest and Kyuubi was laying beside him while Naruto scratched his ears.

"Something on your mind kit, your keeping my up" Kyuubi said sleeply.

"Sorry Kyuubi I just can't shake the feeling something bad is going to happen" Naruto told him.

"Well when you used the merger technique I taught you enhanced your senses even more than they were. So you may gain some foresight powers" Kyuubi told his host.

"You mean like Shion" The boy asked.

"Well not like that little priestess she has visions in order to protect her, yours sound more like feelings instead of visions" the fox stated.

Naruto just sat there for a few more stroking the fox before letting sleep finally take him, he was glad he had the day off tomorrow he was going to sleep in. He gave a small smile when he felt a light thup on his side from Hinatas belly as he child gave a tiny kick. He and Hinata had told Tsunade at Hinatas last check up that they wanted the sex of the baby to be a surprise. For the first time in his life Naruto felt that he felt whole.

*The forest outside of Konoha*

"Report" a cloaked figure barked.

"Sasuke-sama is here and it appears he has a girlfriend Kabuto-sama" a sound jounin stated.

"What did she look like" Kabuto ordered.

"Thin, pink hair, red outfit high chunnin level" the jounin reported.

"Ah so you took up with Sakura-chan huh Sasuke-kun. Ok report to Orochimaru-sama and get ready we are going to get Sasuke-kun back" Kabuto ordered.

"There is more Kabuto-sama it appears that the Uzumaki brat has a lover as well and she looks to be with child" the Jounin added.

"Good that means we has some insurance that he won't interfere but this could also backfire on use. I guess we just have to risk it, now go report to Orochimaru-sama" Kabuto shouted.

*The next morning*

Hinata had woken up early she was going to meet Sakura and Temari for a day of shopping for their up coming baby showers and to discuss Hinata bachlorette party, even though Hinata didn't want one Ino, Sakura and Tenten made it quite clear that she was gone have one. Naruto had left earlier to train with Sasuke and then to meet the other guys for their weekly guys lunch thing. Of course Kyuubi had been curled up next to her womb as if to watch over her child while she got some rest, who would have thought that the once great demon fox would worry about her.

Kyuubi was laying on the bed watching Hinata get ready. Naruto had told him before he left with Sasuke to keep a close eye on Hinata and to report to him if anything should come up. And he'd be damned if he would let anything happen to the brats mate with putting up one hell of a fight.

"Well come on Kyuubi lets go meet the girls" Hinata said holding her arms out.

Kyuubi made the cute little trill that Hinata had grown to adore as he jumped up into her arms. Hinata gave him a slight squeeze before jumping up to her shoulders and hiding in her hair which became his personal perch. It was a place where he could protect her and stay comfortable. A few weeks ago some drunken made had made a pass at her and even tried to feel her up, only to have the fox launch out of her hair and shred his arm.

*Ichiraku ramen*

All of the rookie nine were sitting at the ramen bar discussing Naruto's upcoming wedding and Kiba kept bringing up the bachlor party even though Naruto like Hinata didn't want one that it just didn't feel right to be staring at strippers. Kakashi and Jiraiya had joined them about half way through their meal and also tried to convice Naruto to have the party, but Naruto stood firm. Sasuke backed Naruto with his views thinking that it wouldn't be right for Naruto to be looking at naked women when Hinata was in his life. Same went for Sakura even though he knew that both of the girls were a force to reckon with.

Things had cooled down between Sasuke and the other even though Kiba was still alittle gun shy around him. Sasuke was going to be Naruto's best man along with Kakashi, Iruka, Neji, Jiraiya, Kiba and Takamichi as the other best men. Sakura was going to be the maid of honor along with Tenten, Kurenai, Ino, Temari, Hanabi and Shizune as Hinatas brides maids with Konohamaru as ringbearer. It looked like it was going to be a huge shindig even the Kazekage was going to be there, but the dobe deserved it.

"Come on Naruto it's tradition, the friends of the groom always throw a party" Kiba whined.

"Dammit Kiba I said no it just does feel right" Naruto yelled at him

Kiba was about to say something when a pair of voices called out "NARUTO-NIICHAN."

They all turned towards the voices only to see Konohamaru and Inari carrying a beaten Temari as well as Hanabi carrying an equally beat up Kyuubi. Panic filled not only Naruto but Shikamaru and Sasuke as well and all three rushed over.

"What happened" Naruto demanded.

"My team just got back from a mission and we met up with Konohamaru. The three of us came to find you to see if you wanted to train with us when we found these two" Hanabi told them.

Temari came around slightly and looked up to Naruto "So...sound n....ninja Hinata S....Sakura took them" she said before passing out again.

Both Naruto and Sasuke were seeing red, Naruto slipping into demon mode and Sasukes sharingan flared full force.

"Sensei took off after we found her" Inari said.

"Shikamaru take Temari to Tsunade-sama I'm going after them" Naruto stated taking Kyuubi from Hanabis arms before taking off with Sasuke close behind.

"Kakashi find Yamato and then join up with us" Jiraiya told the silver-haired jounin.

"Hai" He replied before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

*The Hokage tower*

"The baby is fine Shikamaru it looks like she just got a blow to the head" Tsunade told the worry filled Nara.

"Thats a relief" Shikamaru replied.

Temari came around.

"Temari what happened" Tsunade ordered.

*Flashback*

"So have you and Naruto figured out where the wedding is going to be" Sakura asked.

"Naruto wants it at the memorial, so in a way it's like his mom and dad can be there" Hinata said.

"Whens your wedding going to be Temari" Hinata asks.

"In a couple of months" Temari said.

A strange cloaked figure approached "Sorry ladies but your coming with me" Hinata and Sakuras world went black as the genjutsu took effect. Temari charged the man, when he dodged he revealed himself a member of the sound village.

"You bastard what do you want" Temari yelled pulling a kunai.

"I'm here for the girls and Sasuke-sama" The jounin said before slamming Temari into a wall knocking her out.

The sound ninja threw Sakura over his shoulder, but when he reached for Hinata Kyuubi jumped out of her hair biting down hard.The sound ninja cried out before slamming the fox into the same wall.

"Little bastard" he spat before swing Hinata over his other shoulder and took off.

*end of flash back*

"I see, Shikamaru join the others they may need you" Tsunade told the young Nara.

"Hai Tsunade-sama" Shikamaru said taking off.

* the forest outside of Konoha*

Naruto and Sasuke heading through the trees top speed following Kyuubi who was tracking the blood of the ninja he sunk his teeth into, as well as Hinata scent. When they found the person who had their loves the swore to send him to hell and back as slowly and painfully as possible. Sasuke knew the fox they were following was Kyuubi temporay form he had seen Narutos new technique, but he didn't care as long as it meant he could rescue Sakura.

Naruto was livid someone had his Hinata putting her life at risk well as the life of his child when he found the one who took her he was going to gut and skin them very slowly and Kyuubi couldn't agree more.

"I'm sorry kit I tried to stop him" Kyuubi said.

"I know it's not your fault, you did everything you could" Naruto replied.

"We're getting close the others should be catching up soon" The fox told the boy.

"Sasuke I know that they have Sakura, but Orochimarus mine he's pushed me to far this time" Naruto told his friend.

"I understand Naruto what do you want me to do" Sasuke asks.

"Keep anyone from getting in the way and I mean anyone" Naruto said sternly.

Sasuke nodded and then they saw a lone figure in the trees it was Takamichi. It seemed when Inari and Hanabi had found Temari he put two and two together and went after the girls.

"Takamichi-san" Sasuke called out and Takamichi slowed down to let them catch up.

"Naruto, Sasuke-kun I guess you heard what happened" Takamichi asked.

"Yeah the other are right behind us, I swear that snake dies here today" Naruto said venom dripping from his words.

"Naruto you have to have a cool head and a plan if you go in half-cocked your going to get yourself killed" Takamichi said.

"I've got a plan and no one is going to get in my way I'll kill them" Naruto said.

"I just hope you know what your doing little brother" Takamichi said as they entered a clearing.

They were shocked at what they saw there was Orochimaru sitting on a rock with Hinata and Sakura tied to crosses and they were still out cold. Kabuto was there as well as about 50 sound ninja. If Naruto wasn't pissed before he was now he swore he was going to kill this man slowly and painfully.

"Ah Sasuke-kun and Naruto-kun I wasn't expecting you to be coming as well. I see you been busy" Orochimaru said running his sick hands lightly of Hinata swollen belly.

"Get you fucking hands of her you slime fuck" Naruto yelled.

"Now now Naruto-kun no need to get upset although I would love the chance to study your demon spawn when it's born. This Hyuugas eyes are worth a fortune in the land of lighting I could always sell them, but after I've had my fun with her"Orochimaru stated.

If he had been a little more cocky he wouldn't have noticed the weapons sailing through the air towards him. Orochimaru dodged them as the sunk into the rock. Orochimaru looked at them they weren't kunai they looked just like feathers and appeared to even have a cell structure, so even though they were metal they were once real.

"Did I strike a nerve Naruto-kun" Orochimaru said.

One sound ninja decided to try and charge Naruto only to get a leaf shuriken to the thoart, the gurgling sound of him choking on his own blood filled the clearing. That was when the others arrived in the clearing, both Neji and Kiba were seeing red as they saw Hinata on the cross. Jiraiya saw Naruto standing near Orochimaru looking like he was about to attack and he deicided to intervene.

"Naruto you should let me handle this" Jiraiya told the boy.

Kakashi had seen alot of things the death of his teammates, a giant demon fox attaking his home but he never expected to see Naruto send Jiraiya into a tree even Orochimaru looked surprised.

"Sorry pervy sage this is my fight and I'll kill anyone who interferes even my friends. He crossed me for the last time when he took Hinata, You ready Kyuubi" Naruto said and all his friends gasped when they heard him call the fox.

Kyuubi jumped down from Narutos shoulders with his hackles raised and fur bristled.

"That pint-sized fox is the mighty Kyuubi whats he going to do pee on my leg" Orochimaru said with his usual sick chuckle.

"No we fight together Demonic Arts: Demon Merger Technique" Naruto said.

Naruto erupted blue chakra all around him, Kyuubi turned into a burst of red chakra and swirled around him. The chakra then merged and became a white flame, the flames died down and there stood a person nobody knew. A young man who looked about 18 years of age stood where Naruto had. He was dressed in a white sleeve less chinese style garb with white chinese shoes. His attire wasn't what was odd it was the pointed silver fox ears coming out of a length silver mane of hair. A silver fox tail, plus razor sharp nails tipping each finger.

"You ready you sick bastard" the new Naruto spat.

"How dare you speak to Orochimaru-sama like that" another sound ninja yelled before charging Naruto.

Naruto caught the man by the face, as the man clawed at Narutos arm. Then something happened Narutos hand glowed a sickly green and the mans flesh started to melt, his screams filled the clearing as his body was left as nothing more than a puddle of goo.

"Plants and animals aren't the only things that are venomous in this world, your going to pay for all the pain you've cause with your life" the fox said.

"I highly doubt that Naruto-kun" The serpent hissed

"Sasuke, Takamichi make sure nobody gets in my way" Naruto said and they body nodded as Sasuke untied his sash.

Uncle Sam taught him to shoot
Maybe a little too well
Finger on the trigger, loaded bullet
He hit the stage so full of rage
And let the whole world know it
Six feet away, they heard him say
"Oh God, don't let him pull it"

"You ready you slimy snake" Naruto said pulling a red rose from his hair.

"So your going to kill me with a flower Naruto-kun" Orochimaru said with a laugh.

"Don't underestimate me Orochimaru, a simple flower can be more deadly than the sharpest blade ROSE WHIP" Naruto stated as he turned the delicate rose into a thorny whip.

Please God, don't let him pull it
How could you put us through it?
His brother watched you do it

How could you take his life away?
(what made you thing you had the right?)
How could you be so full of hate?
(to take away somebody's life)
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world all wonder why
I sat at home and on my own,
I cried alone
And scratched your name
On the side of a bullet

They charged each other Naruto with his whip, Orochimaru with his sword clashing for the longest time.They exchanged many blows back and forth, towards the end Narutos whip was badly damaged. The serpent sannin thrust his sword towards Naruto and the boy caught it between his fingers. Orochimaru's eyes widen when the blade rusted and turn to dust.

And in the wake of his mistake
So many lives are broken
Gone forever from a loaded bullet
And no excuse that you could use
Could pull somebody through it
And to this day so many say
"God why'd you let him do it?"

How could you let him do it?
How could you put us through it?
His brother watched him do it

How could you take his life away?
(What made you think you had the right?)
How could you be so full of hate?
(to take away somebody's life)
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world
All wonder why
I sat at home and cried alone
And on my own
I scratched your name
On the side of a bullet

"H..how did you do that" The snake said.

"My bloodline allows not only to creat a weapon out of almost anything, but improve or destory a weapon by touch" Naruto said reaching into his hair again.

Yet another sound ninja charged Naruto only to have his head cleaved in half by Sasukes sash.

"Do not interfere" Sasuke said glaring at the enemy.

In his hand Naruto held a seed the started to grow into a nasty looking tree with six branches, a tooth-filled mouth on each branch.

"This is my Death tree and he hasn't had anything to eat in days" Naruto said with a dark grin.

How could you take his life away?
(What made you think you had the right?)
How could you be so full of hate?
(to take away somebody's life)
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world
All wonder why
I sat at home and cried alone
And on my own
I scratched your name
On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet

Orochimaru could only watch in horror as the tree attacked and began to devour every ounce of him.

"You'll never harm another innocent life ever again" Naruto said at the now vacant area where the serpent sannin had just been, as the tree turned back into a seed.

And thats where I'm going to end it for now. I chose the Nickelback song side of a bullet because a friend of mine's brother was killed in a gang shooting.
