The Beast Inside (A Naruto Fanfiction) #Wattys2016

Testing my powers

I am sitting on my bed and I hear a knock on my door.

"Come in." I say and see Kisame walk in.

"I was curious about some things some things about you." Kisame said.

"Do you have a special lady back at home?" He asked very interested.

"Well I did, but she is gone now." I said showing almost no emotion.

"What happened, tell me everything." He asked.

"Her name was Aishimasu, she had long black hair and beautiful blue eyes that almost glowed in the dark. I was very young the last time I saw her, but the memory is still in my head like as if it was yesterday." I said as I remembered how kind Aishimasu was.

"But one day she went on a mission, and was poisoned. She came back pale, her hair fading, her eyes dimming, her smile gone. She looked like a living ghost, we took her to the hospital but there was a lack of herbs. She died two days later, an autopsy showed that she was stabbed near the heart and the poison got in her blood." I said my as my voice started sounding sad.

"It broke my heart, after that I was never the same. I hated almost everyone, I trained harder, I became more distant, that is when I learned to not love or show many emotions to anyone." I said to a sad looking Kisame.

"I am sorry Kisame, I was about to go meet Itachi for some training." I apologized and left. I went down the hall to the training room where Itachi had the same blank stare he had when I beat him.

"First focus on your target, and imagine that something happened to it like it was on fire. Then visualize what it would look like in real life. Then keep for focusing on that until it happens. You try." Itachu said as I started concentrating on having flames appear on the straw dummy.

A few minutes later the dummy is ablaze.

"Much better than I thought you would be. If you want to you can go." Itachi said and he was gone, I guess I don't need to learn genjutsu. As if I would use it.

I went back to my room and took a nap.

*** Hanshu's dream ***

I saw me running to the gate as Aishimasu limped through. I ran up to her and she leaned on me and I helped her to the hospital.

When we got to the hospital I got a good look at her. She was very pale, like she lost a lot of blood, her hair was losing its color and shine and her eyes were losing life. The doctor took me out into the hallway,

"She would be lucky if she lived til tomorrow." He said and left.

I walked to her bed and set in the chair next to the bed.

"Who did this to you?" I ask with my voice so filled with concern it is barely audible.

"I don't know," she said in a faint voice

"I do know that I want you to end my life for me, to end my suffering." She said looking towards my weapon pouch.

"I would never do that, I would never live with myself." I said as tears formed.

"I am about to die. When I go to heaven, I'll watch over you. Until you meet me here, I'll watch you until you become Kazekage. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I'll see you again, Hanshu." She said as she faded from this world over the rainbow bridge.

I sat next to Aishimasu and held her hand. I held her hand until a nurse came in and led me out. If the nurse never came in I would of stayed there, holding her hand.

*** Dream over ***

I woke up with Zetsu standing there.

"What do you want Zetsu?" I ask

"I wanted to know if you were okay, I could sense that you were upset. Want to talk about it?" Zetsu said

"Sorry Zetsu, I am fine just had a bad dream that is all. But thanks for your concern Zetsu, I appreciate it." I said as I sat up in my bed.

"Anytime Hanshu." Zetsu said as he disappeared into the floor.

I got up and changed into my normal clothes, and walked into the hallway and went outside.

I went over to a rock and sat on it. I took off my headband and looked around, nothing was there. So I put my headband back on. Just then Zetsu came out of the rock.

"Tobi wants to see you, he is in the training room." He said, then I nodded and got up.

I went back into the hideout and into the training room.

"You wanted me?" I asked Tobi

"I wanted to see how strong you are, can you demonstrate some things for me?" He asked and I nodded as I took off my headband.

He took a kunai and threw it at me, it slowed down and I dodged it with ease.

Sasori came in and put his chakra wires on me, making me stay in put. I looked at Tobi who threw another kunai at me, but this time instead of slowing down, everything stopped.

I looked around and found out how to cut Sasori's chakra wires and got out of the way of the kunai which hit Sasori, which bounched off.

Sasori looked at me with wide eyes. While I was looking at Sasori, Tobi threw another kunai that I didn't see. I turned around and saw it floating in mid air, six inches away from my face. I held out my hand and pointed at Tobi. Then the kunai turned around and went to Tobi.

When I thought I was done, I started putting my headband back over my eye and Tobi stopped me.

"You remember when I said to always keep your eye covered when not fighting, I take that back now." Tobi said walking up to me.

"Alright, I will." I said tying my headband around my neck.

I feel something behind my back and my eye gets big and wide. I turn around to see Sasori holding a kunai to my back but my eye is preventing them, no how much Sasori pushes on the kunai.

"That is why." Tobi said probably smirking underneath his mask.

I gave him a glare and walked out of the training room, into the hallway, and back to my room.
