Naruto of the Shinju

Chapter 5: Return

Sora levitated towards the skies and above him, lightning bolts seemed to gather above his head. Sora raised his hand and pointed it towards Kazuma, to which a bolt of lightning from the sky stroke at Kazuma. He managed to evade the attack and then Sora raised both of his hands towards the dark sky to which multiple lightning bolts rained down towards the ground.

"This is impossible. How could he use such high-level techniques without using hand seals, not even the Kyuubi's chakra is present", he thought.

"So, you're challenging me. Well, then, I won't go easy on you. I will use some of my strongest techniques. Wind Release: Shakujo Twister".

A large wind formed into a tornado and hit Sora but Sora did not move nor did anything. Instead, the attack was hit him full force yet he wasn't hurt.

Kazuma's eyes widened with surprise as his attack were of no effect to his son. Then Sora managed countered back. Sora closed his left hand into a fist and then leaves from nearby trees gathered towards him to which he raised his hand and then the leaves were ultimately frozen. He then sent the frozen leaves as projectiles to Kazuma, to which Kazuma was unable to dodge nor evade. Sora, out of chakra dropped into the ground to which the darkened skies returned to their original form.

Seeing this, Kazuma seized the opportunity to attack Sora but he was stopped by Kimimaro to which the latter shot him with a bone projectile. As soon Kazuma dropped, still alive, yet immobilized, Toneri helped Sora stood up and he walked near Kazuma. Toneri and Kimimaro take hold of Kazuma's arms and Toneri put his foot on Kazuma's back to force him to face Sora.

"Sora, how did you this?"Kazuma asked.

"Master Furido!", Fuka screamed.

Sora didn't answer. Instead, he wore a black glove and he put it near Kazuma's face. Soon, a black mass enveloped Furido's face and he screamed, where his chakra was being taken out by his very own son. As Kazuma's chakra transfers to the black mass going to Sora's body, Sora felt energized and he was surrounded by orbs of chakra as he continues to do so. When Kazuma finally closed his eyes, his body turned to ash. The glove on Sora's arm vanished and all of the chakra he gathered towards Kazuma's body enveloped him.

"Happy now?", Toneri asked.

"Yes, as to what they say, revenge is sweet", he chuckled. "By the way, why did you spare that woman?"

Sora then pointed towards Fuka. "What are you planning to do?", she asked in a fearful voice.

"We may need this woman to achieve Naruto's plan. Where is he by the way?". Toneri said.

Soon, Naruto appeared from nowhere and said, "This woman is strong and we will recruit her to join our cause."

He then soon freed her using his power and when she was freed, she attempted to attack him yet was thwarted by Naruto's gaze, sending her to fly back.

He explained what his ambitions and his plans to Fuka and upon hearing it, Fuka trembled in fear.

"You are quite useful, Fuka. Our plan will be beneficial for the both of us". Naruto then extended his hand and a fire appeared burning the ground to which Fuka was standing. "Or one of us". Naruto grinned.

Then he added, "So, which will it be?"

Fuka just looked at him and decided to follow him to avoid being killed.

Several hours later…

"So, you're planning to return to Konoha?", Sora asked.

"I do. This is the best time to show them who is the best. But I won't show my true colors yet. I'll be acting as a child, deliberately manipulating them that I was still the same as before", he said.

"Hope you don't mind when I ask this but I'm wondering why are so keen on your goal?", Fuka asked.

"I will return to Konoha not for the sake of others but for myself. All I want is to give others the pain of humiliation and betrayal that I've suffered. Well, I shall not reveal what I am now. Being an actor is not that an easy job but so far, I've known the cunning human nature of trickery and lying that's why I'm going to exploit it. But for now, when I'm away, continue kidnap those civilians. Bring corpses, too, especially ninjas that are recently killed so that they are still fresh".

"Bringing corpses is not part of the plan", Kimimaro intercepted.

"Corpses will be essential to our plan. I will tell you someday as to when I should use them but we should seek a hideout to where we could preserve the corpses".

"Then store them in one of your dimensions", Sora suggested.

"Opening and closing the dimensions is an easy task but I don't want to waste chakra. Besides, if I were to finish anything quickly, the world will know me. That's why, I'll discretely work in the shadows to avoid being caught, but if I were to be caught, then I shall show them what true despair is", Naruto laughed.

"I'm going now. Be careful. And before I forget, look for corpses that are good looking. And also, do not call me Naruto. When I'm with you, call me Otsutsuki Byakuya".

Naruto now stood in the front gates of Konoha. It was early morning when he left the hideout and he immediately went to the Academy. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by the shocked faces of his classmates and even Iruka himself.

"Na-Naruto, where have you gone? It's been 3 months and you haven't returned. What happened to you?", Iruka asked worriedly.

"I was hiding. I've been hiding here in Konoha for a meantime so you aren't going to see me. I've decided to never go into the Academy again but now, I've realized that being a shinobi is important so that you could save peoples' lives", Naruto replied calmly.

"We're going to the Third", he said.

Third Hokage's Office

"Don't you know how much you've caused an uproar? Don't you know that you've worried me? I've sent several ninjas to track you but they did not find you. I've almost thought you were dead!", Hiruzen scolded.

"I'll not do it again", Naruto replied with a hint of a sad voice.

As Naruto exited the Hokage office, he smirked. "Things are going well according to the plan".
