Chapter 7

Zen found Leon's body and knew he had to head to the hideout and make sure that none of the enemy has found it. He ordered some of the men to stay there while he took the rest with him. A set of bloody footprints trailed the floor towards the kitchen. He cursed and followed the footprints. As he turned the corner, he felt a sudden pain in his stomach. He looked down to see a dagger in his stomach. He coughed as his eyes saw the man that had been hiding around the corner. Zen staggered backwards into the knights standing behind him.

"Captain Zen," one of the knights yelled, jumping in front of Zen. He took a sword's swing to his back and he let out a cry.

"Takeshi," Zen called. He glared at the silver haired man standing with a bloody sword still raised.

The man smiled. "So easy." Zen's eyes widened as the man pulled out a small stick of dynamite. Zen tried to yell a warning for his men to get back, but the stick was already lit and tossed just behind Zen. The man stepped back and hid behind the refrigerator. The explosion shook the kitchen and was loud enough for people in the hideout to hear it.

Naruto stood at the sound. "Mommy?" Ryuu asked.

"Stay with your siblings," Naruto said. "Iruka, I think we need to move everyone further in."

Iruka nodded and he turned towards the other Betas. "Grab your things and head further in." Murmurs filled the room as they hesitantly followed Iruka's order. Tomomi and Kotomi helped Ryuu, Kyuji, Ageha, and Itsuki follow them. They looked back at Naruto, knowing he would follow. "What are you planning?"

"We need to block the door so they can't come in," Naruto said. He walked over to the door, only for it to open. "Iruka!" A hand reached out and grabbed Naruto, pulling him towards the body behind him.

"Naruto!" Iruka yelled. He took a step towards him only to see a knife nearing Naruto's throat. He froze.

"I found you," the silver haired man said. "I need to take you to King Orochimaru." Four people came in from behind him. "I believe the children are further in. Go retrieve them."

Iruka stepped back and held out his arms. "I won't let you!"

"Hey Kabuto?" the dark skinned man asked. "Can we just kill him?"

"Sure," Kabuto said. Naruto's eyes widened and he struggled against Kabuto. Kabuto held him tighter. "Now, now. I don't want to hurt you, my dear Naruto."

"P-please," Naruto said. "Don't kill him."

"Fine," Kabuto said. "Just knock him out."

"Yes sir," the dark skinned man said. He grabbed Iruka by the neck and slammed him against a wall. Iruka struggle but the man just pulled him forward and slammed him backwards. His head hit the wall and all he saw was stars. He was released, but he fell to the floor unconscious. The man walked passed him, going further in. The others followed him. A scream was heard as tears filled Naruto's eyes. The four men returned with Kotomi, Tomomi, and Naruto's children. Blood was on one of the men's hands while the Mizu sisters had bruises growing on their cheeks. "Some of the servants tried to stop us. I had to... punish them." He gave a push to Kotomi.

Tomomi tried to punch her captive, but the man grabbed her arm and pulled it back with a loud crack. She let out a cry and fell to the floor holding her broken arm. "Stop!" Naruto begged. "Leave them alone."

"You have no right to order them," Kabuto said. "Now then, I believe that King Orochimaru would love to see all of you." He spun himself and Naruto around and pushed him ahead. He then picked up Itsuki. Itsuki cried out while Ryuu and Kyuji protested. Naruto took a step closer. "Ah ah ah! I don't think so." He put his knife to the back of Itsuki's head as he pushed his face into his chest. Naruto's eyes widened. "Now, lead the way to the throne room please." Naruto nodded before turning around and walking out the room. He gasped at the destruction before him. Blood was all over the place as the dead bodies of Zen and his knights were flung across various places.
