Demon Sage

Ch-24

Naruto watched, as the civilian fell to the ground, blood suddenly staining his shirt.

" The ritual... ", Hidan panted, as blood poured down from his stomach, " Is to ingest some of the victim's blood. Then everything that happens to your body, happens to the other. For the other Jashinist's, the Non-Immortals, Jashin heals them while they pray, during every ritual. You must kill every day. ", he said, and pulled out the spike, before raising it to his chest, and pushed it right through.

Naruto winced, knowing it went right through his heart.

Naruto waited, as thirty minutes passed before Hidan's eyes re-opened and he sat up.

" Your turn. ", Hidan stated, standing up.

" Before I actually perform the ritual, can I... kill a few extra's? I usually kill around four drunks every week. ", Naruto said.

" Go straight ahead, my young pupil! ", Hidan cackled.

Hidan looked at around twenty different, bloody bodies that surrounded both he and Naruto. Naruto himself, was still in his first prayer. For some reason, Hidan couldn't help but feel proud of the damn brat. He always wanted a brother, someone to teach the ways of Jashin... looks like Naruto's the place for it.

He barely was able to convince Kakuzu to help train Naruto, though the sadistic bastard happily took the chance to tie him to the bed..

Naruto's eyes opened, in panic.

" Okaa-chan is waiting for me at home... ", he groaned, sitting up. Despite the fact his wounds were healing, there was quite a lot of them... you could even see some of his bones.

" I'll clean the mess, get back not to worry 'Okaa-chan'. ", Hidan snickered, Naruto rolled his eyes, and quickly, and poorly, wrapped bandages around his chest and stomach, before running off.

As midnight hit, Kushina started to worry for her son. He's usually home by now! Saya's out training with Jiraiya, so at least she knows where he daughter is! But her baby boy?! NOWHERE TO BE SEEN!

Two more hours passed, and right when Kushina was going to wake Minato up and demand he start a nationwide search party...

" Okaa-chan, I'm home! ", Naruto's voice called, and Kushina ran into the living room to see a very bloody Naruto.

Bandages were wrapped around Naruto's chest and stomach, his shirt ripped to shreds.

" W-What happened?! ", Kushina ran voer to him, looking at the poorly wrapped bandages.

" My training got a little bloody. A tree fell ontop of me. ", Naruto said.

" What?! Dear lord.. go take a bath, and I'll get some medicine for your wounds- ", Kushina started.

" Okaa-chan, I'll be fine. ", Naruto cut in, smiling softly, " I know you know about Jubi... she's healing me. ", he said, moving to the stairs.

" I'm going to bed! ", he called.

Kushina frowned, but sighed and went to cleaning the blood left at the door, before she finally went to sleep.

The next morning, you could find Saya staring at a tadpole happily.

" It has legs this time! ", she grinned.

Jiraiya looked over, and deadpanned.

" Only you would be happy about that... try again! ", he called.
