Coming out of the mindscape, barely some seconds have passed, the usefulness of time dilatation is evident
"You know what you did wrong Naruto?" Kaede asked as she stepped back a bit
"I... I d-"
*Smack*
Naruto tried to answer, but got a punch to the face as a result
"I am the one talking, idiot"
Naruto was very confused, he never saw Kaede like that before
"You just had, had to fuck it up didn't you?" Kaede looked at him with a furious gaze, albeit now it was acting
"Now tell me Naruto, why the hell did you save that traitor?"
"Bec-"
*Smack*
"I am the one talking, idiot..." Kaede said once again, 'angrier'
Naruto got up again, but didn't say anything
[Why are you letting her hit you?] He heard on his head
"Huh? who-"
*Smack*
Naruto took a kick to the belly, silencing him
'Who said that?'
"Are you going insane already? saving an enemy, talking to yourself..." Kaede mocked
Kaede kept talking to Naruto rhetorically, hitting him from time to time, but he didn't fight back, only blocked every now and then
"...You see Naruto, your naivety will be your downfall, always trusting the wrong people... It sounds like a joke for a shinobi to trust someone just after knowing them, you know?"
Kaede said, Naruto kept looking at her, as if asking when she was going to finish her rant
"Let me tell you a joke, then
Once upon a time there was a little boy, he kept being naive his whole life
because of that, he never doubted anyone's intentions and that costed him a lot"
Kaede said and kept quiet after, looking at Naruto
"W-What does that mean?" He asked, her 'joke' made no sense at all
"You see, the joke is that the kid is you, dumbass"
"That is very rude, I really don't know what has gotten over you Kaede, but-"
"Oh, shut up!
Didn't like the joke? I have a better one then
I killed Sakura" Kaede said with a smirk
"Ehh?" Naruto caught off guard got confused
"Pffft, hihihihehehe" Kaede started to laugh at his expression
"Kaede, that is not funny. Don't joke with such things again..." Naruto said with a very annoyed face
"hehehehahaha but you see, the best part of the joke is that it wasn't a lie hahahaHAHAHA" Maniacally laughing, Kaede looked at Naruto's face, painted white
"Y-You are lying... there is no way that... you wouldn't... she died with black fire, there is no w-"
*Fwoosh*
A black flame lit above Kaede's hand
"Hahaha what about now? do you believe it? hehehe" Still laughing, Kaede tried to induce Naruto's anger with some genjutsus as well
'Why?'
(Genjutsu)
(Was it my fault?)
'No, I...'
(It was her, not me)
'But why would she?'
(Isn't it obvious? it is my fault...)
'No, wrong... wrong...'
(It was all her)
'it is her fault...'
(She lied to me this whole time...)
"Liar..." Naruto said in a distressed voice, his eyes unfocused, tears gathering on his eyes
(But what can I do?)
'I... I can't beat her...'
(I need power)
'...power...'
Looking at Naruto slowly getting angry, Kaede marveled
'Funny, how even if you get mad at me, you would forgive me in the future...
just like you did to the one who killed your parents...
such a naive kid is not fit to be a ninja...'
Naruto kept his internal debate, that built up his negative emotions until a certain someone got a hold on them
[Do you want power?]
The voice once again asked Naruto, but this time under the influence of those genjutsus...
he gave in...
Chakra started to leak from Naruto in huge waves, a red chakra cloak started to slowly envelop him
Seeing this Kaede activated [Shukaku]'s subskill [Tailed beast telepathy]
'Yo, fox
Try to take over if you can, but don't forget to check on the racoon, ok?'
"Hoo? you are approaching me? instead of running away?" Kaede asked to the now enraged Naruto
"I don't care anymore..." He said as his gaze went blank
"Ehh?" Kaede looked at him confused, but it suddenly clicked for her
"ROAAAAR" Naruto roared and jumped at Kaede
[Instantaneous movement]
Kaede appeared below Naruto and with a swift kick he was launched upwards
"Stupid..."
Raising her hand, sand rose from the ground and enveloped Naruto quickly
Enraged by the chakra of the kyuubi, he roared and struggled, but one tail couldn't break the reinforced sand holding him
-=-
[You want power?] The kyuubi asked Naruto inside his mindscape
"What? h-how am I'm here? Is that another genjutsu of Kaede?" he asked, remembering his previous experiences with Kaede
[Kid, this is your mind] Kyuubi said, attracting Naruto's gaze
"Y-You! t-the kyuubi!" Naruto stuttered as he fell back on his own butt
['Yes, that is how you should react after seeing the great me! not like that brat who didn't show fear...'] Kyuubi said to himself
[You want to beat her, right? then open the seal... I will help you] Kyuubi said, trying to make Naruto free him, he had already checked on Shukaku's condition, it was the first thing he did, afteral
Not that he was worried, far from it, the majestic Kyuubi would never be worries about someone... okay?
"Seal?" Naruto looked at the paper on the cage, because it was where the kyuubi was looking at
[Yes, can't you feel the hate?
She killed your friend
she lied to you this whole time
who knows what she did besides this?]
Every sentence of the Kyuubi, made Naruto's gaze more and more unfocused, his eyes slowly getting a shade of red over them
-=-
Naruto suddenly sent a wave of chakra outwards, actually it was just the second tail of the kyuubi growing... scary
He immediately jumped at Kaede's direction and tried to claw her, but she dissipated into sand, it was a clone
"That was fast, are you trying to kill me~?" Kaede who appeared sitting on a tree, mocked as she asked Naruto
"ROOOOAAAR" Naruto roared loudly, it is a surprise that neither Jiraya nor Tsunade heard it yet...
an arm of chakra extended from Naruto's tail, but before it got Kaede she jumped backwards, also activating her skill [Slash] she cut it off, but the 'arm' just regrew
the enraged Naruto kept going after her, and she kept dodging every attack, but there was one problem... Naruto had a TON more chakra than Kaede...
'Let me see...' Kaede quickly thought of a plan
throwing a big sand shuriken at Naruto, he dodged but the shuriken exploded into smoke
Turning into Kaede, chains shot from her hand at Naruto, but he actually dodged, call it an animal instinct
but he jumped right on top of the previous sand...
"Sand burrial!" Kaede immediately made him go underground and started to smash him with sand, but it was very hard to do so...
-=-
[Yes... remove the seal...] Kyuubi's voice echoed around Naruto's mindscape, he started to slowly raise his hand towards the seal
Kurama smirked, thinking he was actually going to get free just like that
But a hand stopped Naruto's hand, centimeters away from the seal
[YOU! Damned fourth ho-clown!] Angrily yelled Kurama, but he was immediately ignored by both the yellow heads
"I wouldn't do that..." Minato said as he looked at Naruto with a complicated gaze
"D-Dad?" Naruto asked as he looked back, recognizing the voice
-=-
Naruto shot from the ground, three tails swinging behind him wildly
"Man... what a drag..." Kaede looked at that annoyed
Immediately activating her mangekyou, Kaede made a susanoo
Different from when she used Fugaku's eyes before, her susanoo wasn't dark blue any longer, but a black skeleton, as dark as the night sky
and the 'misty' part of her susanoo was a silvery-white color, giving her susanoo a very impressive appearance
Naruto ignores all of that, and made tree chakra hands that tried to attack Kaede, but her Susanoo blocked the hits
trying to hit Naruto with her massive susanoo proved to be a hard task as the small Naruto got incredibly fast with his three tails chakra cloak
Kaede's Susanoo kept hitting all over the forest, always missing Naruto by a bit
Some big waves of sand also tried to hit or capture him, but once again it was useless, as he either broke through it or was just too fast
Kaede had a very bad expression, she could only think of one way to capture Naruto as he was currently
'If only my telekinesis worked on him...' Kaede had tried to capture Naruto with telekinesis before, but he actually broke through it with pure strength
Now, that wasn't to say that he was powerful, it is just that Kurama's chakra overpowered Kaede's own chakra, and it was easy to know why, right?
Kaede deactivated her susanoo, activated her jogan and using her [Thought acceleration] to the max she could, kept looking at Naruto, who once he got a chance jumped at her without hesitation
Naruto tried to claw her, but she held it with her own hands, a very concentrated sand armor also defended her, but she was still easily pushed back
*Bang*
Naruto smashed Kaede to the ground, his eyes now with a red vertical slit on them, but there was one thing Kaede noticed before
His chakra was slowly getting weaker, which can only mean one thing: Minato was talking with Naruto
'Oh well...' Kaede prepared to act a scene now
"Na-Naruto..." With a hoarse voice, she started to absorb Naruto's chakra with [Devourer] as she kept talking some random bs
Slowly Naruto's mind was going back, but in the meantime he was hitting Kaede again and again, not holding back in the slightest
*Bang Bang Bam*
His punches echoed around him, and he kept like that until his mind came back
Tears falling from his face from his talk with his father, he said
"Kaede... I can forgive you... but I will never forget what you did..." He looked up, avoiding looking at her
After some very stressing silence, he looked down, only to see Kaede with her head bleeding a lot
"K-Kaede?" He asked, looking at her motionless body
"H-Hey... stop that..." He shook her a bit, but more blood started to leak from her skull
"What did I do?..." He git up and asked in distress
*Quick uneven breathing*
"Aren't you nice?"
Naruto who has having a panic attack heard a voice behind him
"K-Kaede?" He looked back in surprise
"C'mon... You WISH I was that easy to kill..." Kaede crossed her arms as she stared at Naruto
"But... you... how?" Naruto kept looking between Kaede and her clone, that was until he just dropped unconscious
the new Kaede was just a clone, the real Kaede has been absorbing his chakra this whole time
"That was easy, to be honest..." Kaede got up, and immediately fixes her appearance, the advantages of being a slime...
Kaede bent down a bit, touched Naruto's seal
"[Mindscape]" She quickly entered Naruto's mind, as she saw someone approach with her jogan, but inside the mindscape she had plenty of time...
