uzamaki Twins

Part 19

No one's Pro~

"NATSU HELP," shouted Naruto.

They all watched as the beast went towards Sasuke and Kakashi it lifted its arm into the sky and brought it down towards them. Sakurai and Naruto both held, "Kakashi sensei, Sasuke No!" A cloud of dust was the only thing they could see. The beast dug into the lifting the same size boulder that Sakurai threw at it. It flung the boulder towards Sakurai. The boulder was so large that it seemed to crush Sakurai. Naruto watched in horror as his teammates  fell one by one, tears flowing from his eyes. Naruto watched as the beast came towards him. The beast growled and lunged at him. Naruto shut his eyes and braced for impact. 

"Hey, hey hey, what's with the tears, Naru-chan?" Naruto's eyes shot open as he looked at the owner of the voice. He looked up, shocked tears, and snot running down his face, "Eve- everyone their- their." Naruto tried to say, his voice getting stuck in his throat. Natsu looked at him with a confused face. "What do you mean they are behind you." Naruto swiftly turned around and looked. There, they all were with shocked faces as they looked at Natsu. "Guys." Naruto said and threw himself onto them. 

"Naruto, we don't have time for this. We need to get out of here." spoke Kakashi. Naruto finally took a look around he saw that they all were surrounded by  a white transparent bubble. He also took a look at Natsu and saw that she was wearing different clothes that she usually had on. Natsu wore a red hakama, a white kosode, and some white and red hair ribbons and a Kagura suzu in her one hand. "Don't worry, I got this. " 

Natsu faced the beast with a serious expression on her face. She slowly started moving. Every time she would move and shake the Kagura suzu, the beast would shudder and move back in fear. Natsu's movements became faster. Each movement, each turn, was poised and elegant. Everyone was transfixed at her. The way she moved looked as if she was dancing. With a powerful final movement, there was a white glow from the beast as the dark aura was flaking away and a cute little dog was left in its place. The dog bowed and said, "Thank you, Miko." Natsu bowed back, showing respect to the spirit. Natsu turned to the others and looked at them. "Well, don't you guys look terrible." she said and created three shadow clones. The clones went to Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakurai while Natsu went to Naruto. All the Natsu's started to heal everyone on.

As she was done healing them, they shouted in unisan, "What the hell just happened?" 
"Hmm, it seems as if someone had corrupted that spirit. I had to perform a Kagura to purify the spirit." Natsu spoke. She seemed to be deep in thought. The rest of the team was sitting around her, simply waiting for her to explain more. "Kumiho had informed me about corrupted spirits, but I never would have imagined that there would be one here and so early. Something's not right here."  Natsu said. "Wait, who's Kumiho?" asked Kakahi. Natsu looked at Kakashi, wondering if she should tell him. This information was confidential, and it would put Naruto in more danger if they knew. Deciding to keep it to herself, Natsu responded with sass, "Well, that's on a need to know bases, and at this point in time, you don't need to know." Kakashi's visible eye twitched as he was about to yell, Natsu poofed away. Kakashi watched in shock that Natsu was no longer there. "That's it, let's go back to the camp site and relax. Today was just too much." Kakashi stated, and they all made their way to the house. 

Hey, Naru-chan, that fight took a lot out of me. I'm going to rest for a while. Okay.

Natsu, what's going on?

I'll tell you when i wake up, okay?

Naruto nodded. He kept quiet, and he thought about the fact that Natsu was tired. She was a spirit herself and used his shadow clones. Why would she be tired. "Naruto, what did that damn fox say." Kakashi said with irritation in his voice as they were making their way to the house. "She said that she was tired and needed to rest." Naruto spoke. Kakashi noticed that Naruto's response was not the same. "Naruto, what's wrong?" Kakashi asked
"Sensei Natsu never gets tired. This was the first time, and it doesn't make sense ." Naruto stated
"Naruto, everyone gets tired it's completely normal."
"No, Sensei. Natsu can't get tired because she uses one of my shadow clones to move around." Naruto spoke without thinking. Kakashi was taken aback at this statement. 
"So you're saying Natsu sensei is a ghost?" asked Sakurai
"What no she's -" Naruto spoke, and someone cut in
"If no, then she's a spirit like that thing she 'purified'?" asked Sasuke
"That's somewhat -" Naruto got interrupted. 
"No, that doesn't make sense. How can a spirit purify a spirit. She has to be a demon. especially with the way she trains a person." Kakashi said the others nodding in agreement. 
"What are you guys actually saying? Natsu isn't a demon. She's my sister!" Everyone looked at Naruto with shocked expressions on their faces. while Naruto's mouth hung open, eyes wide, finally realising what he had said.

There was a heavy silence in the air. Everyone was to shocked at the sudden information. "Shit! Natsu is going to kill me! Okay, everyone, what I said, just forget it, you heard nothing." Naruto spoke with a lopsided smirk. He turned around and started walking back  with his hands behind his head.

Naruto got inside the house, made himself a cup of tea, and sat down. Not long after the rest of team 7 burst through the door and shouted in unison, "That's not something that can be forgotten!!"

Lia Akashi~

I watched the Lord let a loud laugh. Looking up at the sky. "Perfect. Wonderful. This is the best moment of my life," he shouted.
"My Lord, what do you mean? The corruption failed. The mission is a disaster. What-" before Lia could complete her sentence, the Lord slapped her so hard she was knocked into the wall next to them. The air in her lungs was knocked out. The Lord walked slowly to her. Grabbing her by the hair. Forcing her to stare deep into his eyes. "You don't know anything, you fool. This is absolutely wonderful. I feel excited." The lord said. He lifted Lia up by her hair and pushed her hard into the wall. A sinister gleam in his eyes. Pushing his body onto hers. His free and groping her skin. "You don't understand. You poor thing. The legend is true. The Uzumaki family is still alive. The people who are directly connected to the spirits are alive. They will be mine. You will be the one that will bring them to me." Spoke the Lord. With his free hand he grabbed Lia's chin. Moving it so that she was looking directly into his eyes. The Lord smirked and kissed her. The kiss was forceful. Lia's lips started turning black. The veins connect to her lips also started turning into a dark color. Satisfied the Lord release Lia, he took a step back and watch her crumble onto the floor. Lia shout, "IT HURTS. MY LORD HELP ME. PLEASE HELP. I CAN'T...I CAN'T. PLEASE.!"
"Lia sweet Lia. Your nothing but a means to a beautiful end. I have corrupted your soul. You will die unfortunately but just think how much you have mad me happy."
"PLEASE...HELP." Those were Lia's last words before she fall silent.
" Your very strong. The corruption processes will take about 1 week. Patience Shiro soon the female Uzumaki heir will be yourself. Soon very soon." Lord Shiro spoke to himself watching the unconscious Lia.
