Silence prevailed in the entire battlefield as the two fighters were currently standing in their positions. Their eyes were intently focused on each other, as one of them got a small smirk on their face.
Standing on top of Cerberus had increased Baku's confidence, as he looked at the young boy standing like an ant on the ground with the 'Guardian of Hell's' figure hovering over him.
And yet he couldn't understand why his summon had a small grin on his face...
"What's the matter, Cerberus?" asked Baku curiously, as his summon just continued to look at the boy.
"He intrigues me, there is so much darkness in him. Even greater than me, this boy was born for the dark side and yet he is still on the light side..." answered Cerberus honestly, and Baku watched intently as Cerberus took a sniff at the air around Naruto.
The dog was surprised when Naruto looked him straight in the eye...
"Are you afraid of me?" asked Cerberus in a straight forward manner,
"No" replied Naruto without hesitation, making the dog grin.
"Are you afraid of losing your little brother?" asked Cerberus knowingly, and Baku was intrigued when he noticed the shock on Naruto's face.
"What has that go to with anyth-"
Naruto's question was left unanswered when Cerberus raised one of his paws silencing the boy...
"Everything, boy. Fear is the path to the dark side, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. And I sense much fear in you..." prophesied Cerberus, and he was not at all alarmed when Naruto gave him a murderous glare.
"You'll have to go through me first, before even thinking of harming my little brother" said Naruto in a deadly voice, and Cerberus sensed the dark chakra inside the boy gaining strength.
"So, the cycle has not ended. It has just been delayed...the only one standing between the dark forces and the shinobi world is this boy. But his mind is clouded, and his biggest weakness is still unknown to the dark forces. If anything happens to his younger brother, then the victory of dark forces is inevitable...that boy must be the only thread that has not allowed Naruto to join his true side. So, that Uchiha's feelings have been passed on to him...interesting" thought Cerberus,
"Naruto, you feel it...don't you? I can clearly feel the hatred which you have for the shinobi world, why are you opposing your true nature? You know very well the path you were born for...it was revealed at the night of Shuri Castle. Then, why?" asked Cerberus curiously,
"I'm not what you think..." replied Naruto defiantly, making Cerberus chuckle.
"I can feel your heart does not believe in your words. There is still one link that is clutching you to this world, preventing you from accepting your true nature. There is nothing to be ashamed of your true nature...why do you think the idea of an empire came to your mind and not your brother's? Why do you have so much hate inside you? And your soul is in a lot of pain..." explained Cerberus patiently,
"Cerberus, I only want to protect my brother...that's the only thing that matters to me. I don't care which side I have to take to protect him..." answered Naruto honestly,
"All the pain, suffering, anger, sadness in your heart will vanish the moment you accept what you truly are. Join me, and fulfill your destiny..." offered Cerberus,
Baku was shocked when he saw Naruto lowering his sword and stabbing it in the ground. Could it be that what his summon was saying could be the truth?
"Naruto, only if Konoha had been more strict towards the other villages after the third great ninja war, then this war would not have happened. Your friends would have never died, Armin would be alive today. My son would be alive today..." said Baku sadly, and for the first time Naruto saw some truth in the man's eyes.
