The large stone was rocketed towards the enlarged Akimichi slamming right into his side. Though the thickened hair took the brunt of the attack, his transformation was undone, he rolled on the ground a few times before coming to a dazed stop.
Naruto then spun around again in mid air, with the use of his wind chakra and kicked the Hyuuga clan head right in the ribs with a brutal drop kick, sending him crashing into the burning estate.
"TSUUGA!"
Tsume slammed right into his back, the full force of the Inuzuka's signature attack catching him off guard, the woman's claws tore away at him, his blood seeped from the newly created wounds.
He was shot down into the building, into a different part of the compound from where Hiashi had fallen.
As he hit the floor he ignored the flames around him and rolled forward, getting to his feet and unsheathing his sword.
Tsume fell through a moment later. Her features feral and her eyes lit up with fury. The thought of her now dead partner Kudomaru adding to her rage.
She saw a shadow slip off down the hallway, the flames burning the compound were affecting her vision and the smoke was getting in the way of her sense of smell, the sound of burning wood also affected her hearing. But she paid no heed to this in her anger and rushed after the shadow.
When she reached the end of the hall and turned, her eyes widened at the collapsed hallway, she hadn't heard a crash so that meant it was there before, no one could have gotten past that. She heard a slight sizzling sound and looked down to a small exploding tag, she leapt back, but couldn't avoid the blast entirely, the shrapnel and splinters pierced her arms as she crossed them infront of her in hopes of blocking it.
She fell back into the hallway, she opened her eyes and saw another exploding tag on the ceiling directly above her. Her eyes widened before the tag went off and the ceiling collapsed overhead.
Naruto emerged from the shadows of the hallway, his form like a specter, flames danced around his feet and seemed to part for him, allowing passage as he approached the fallen clan head.
Tsume's breaths were ragged and uneven, a jagged pipe, fell from the ceiling and had pierced the right side of her chest. She was visibly struggling to keep breathing, her eyes were dilated and unfocussed. As she approached she turned her fading eyes onto him. Somehow, she had managed to gather the strength to speak. "Please…" She gasped. "Stop…this…it…will…end…in…failure." And as such, she gasped her last.
Narutostared at the woman. His red eyes, though burning with unholy flames from the demons chakra were cold and unflinching as he stared at her now dead form.
He said nothing as he stepped past her, down the hallway, flames would consume the remains and leave nothing but ash.
Shikato and Inoichi staggered over to the large form of one Akimichi Chouza. The overly large man groaned weakly as his two comrades helped him into a sitting position. "Urgh, what happened?'
"The Uzumaki managed to hit you with a big rock and threw Hiashi into the estate, Tsume hit him and he also fell into the house, she followed after him."
The large Akimichi managed to stand. "Damnit what the hell are you two doing helping me we have to save her!" He said angrily. The other two stood and together they began running towards the house. An explosion sound reached them, making them run faster then a second explosion hit.
When they were finally in leaping distance of the roof the entire wall exploded in a great blast. The three crossed their arms in front of themselves in order to block the debris and shield their eyes from the heat. When they looked up again the fear in their hearts multiplied as they stared at Naruto standing above the burning ruins. Crimson flames seemed to tower behind him, like a great wall from hell itself, his face, invisible, beneath his hood. His blade, gleamed in red light.
Chouza felt fear grip his heart at his next question. "Tsume...where is Tsume?"
Naruto remained silent before he responded. "Dead."
His fists cracked as he clenched them. His rage was almost visible in his eyes as well as the eyes of Inoichi and Shikato. "You fucking monster." He was almost frothing at the mouth. Tsume had been a good friend of his, for many years.
"You…I'll kill you." His voice was a hateful whisper, but became an enraged yell. "YOU FUCKING BASTARD I'LL KILL YOU!"
In a second Chouza had placed the first of his clan pills into his mouth, his chakra tripled and Naruto's eyes momentarily widened in surprise. He pulled out a full tail of the Kyuubi's chakra to supplement his own power until he would still be above the Akimichi's chakra output.
He was surprised however at the extreme speed boost the red haired Akimichi had as the man appeared next to him and delivered a solid fist to his face.
It hurt.
A lot.
Naruto flew to the side of the building, his back cracking as bones gave way, he grunted and again felt Kyuubi's chakra mend and heal, even as the bone fragments remained in his back. Before he could move, Chouza was upon him, his fists flying, hitting his right cheek, then his left, then his right, his left again.
His facemask shattered showing his bruised cheeks that were quickly healing. His mouth opened to take in air, showing broken and knocked out teeth which he quickly spit out lest he choke, new teeth regenerated quickly.
