Naruto: The Great change

Ch - 13 : We all make mistakes, Naruto's flaws

Yo. Let's start.

"Again."

"AgAin." Naruto scrunched his eyes. He was trying dammit. He clenched his fist to calm himself down. What's with him anyways? Today niichan was twice as rough and hard for some reason. His face was set in stone although his voice was laced with barely disguised anger. And Naruto could easily pick up on it. Calm down. He instructed himself.

He knew that his niichan was disappointed in him. Hell he knew that as well. But that was no reason for him to be this hard. He wasn't telling him anything or even instructing him. Like he wanted to......test him. Oh! So he was testing him. Naruto had to work twice as hard now.

Yeah! I'll do it. Naruto thought determinedly. Although he didn't knew that he was going in for a rough ride. And meanwhile his insides were slowly dysfunctioning and decaying without his or anyone's knowledge.

2 hours later,

"T-that's it.....Pant....Pant.....Pant....." Naruto said as he laid himself on ground breathing heavily. His breathing was twice as heavy now. His jacket already thrown away. "I'm done." He said finally at last, his last sip of stamina used up completely.

"Get up." The voice of his nii-chan was cold. Emotionless. As if set in stone. "You're still weak."

"I.....I.....Pant....am not.....wea-"

Older Naruto cut him off in mid-reply. "Yes, you are. You're so weak that it's laughable." Although it looked like he was mocking him, his voice was set in stone. Not even a flicker of emotion could be seen on his face. And that was frustrating Naruto.

"You told me that you'll teach me new jutsu and-"

"SHUT UP!!!" OLDER NARUTO roared his limit finally snapping. "You're worthless in so many regards that it's laughable. New Jutsu. Hah! What a joke? A jutsu in hands of fool like you'll only end in disaster."

He didn't tell Naruto that he increased the weight on him and the seal was re-designed. Every month the Bijū Seal will increase Naruto's potential while this re-designed seal connected with it would also increase the weight and pressure on Naruto's body without him knowing.

"What's with you-" Naruto was confused. Niichan was angry. But he was never angry or this much frustrated. No matter how stupid Naruto was which he would say aloud.

"Just quiet." His voice was deathly cold and quiet as he was releasing heavy amount of killing intent. Naruto could feel numbness in his feet. His heart was beating so loud that Naruto could almost feel it. The sweat was gathering on his palm. His breath felt erratic to him. His knees felt wobbly and weak. His joints were as if they stopped to function. His body lost every ounce of strength he had.

But older Naruto wasn't even releasing 1% of his killing intent. At most it would be 0.0054%.

"Do you even know how weak you are?" It was hard for Naruto to even concentrate. The intent to kill was suffocating him. What was this power? "You are so weak and so worthless that it's laughable."

Naruto glared ferociously at him. What...? He and weak. No. He refused to be weak. He cannot be weak. He was strong. Wasn't Niichan going to help hi-

"No." He answered as if reading his mind. "I won't."

Naruto found strength in his knees again as older Naruto stopped his killing intent.

"Why? You told me-"

Older Naruto roughly grabbed Naruto by his shoulders and pushed him down. He then used his one leg to keep on one of the legs of young Naruto on the ground. Painfully twisting it. "You cannot become Hokage. You don't pay attention. You don't give effort."
