Chapter forty seven: A new hope.
"Hell yeah!" – talks.
'Art is a blast!' – thoughts.
"Know your role!" – demon blades.
"Katsu!" – demonic/jutsu.
...
Konohagakure no sato. Portal station…
"Wooooah!" One Uchiha Sasuke flew out of the portal along with several large rocks.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura rushed at his side. "What happened? Why are you back so early?"
Sasuke gritted his teeth in anger. "I am back because there is nothing really to protect at Sunagakure anymore… In fact, there is not even a Sunagakure anymore."
Sakura's eyes widened. "Oh my god…"
"Cough… Gaara…" Bandaged Kankurou raised his voice. "What about Gaara and Temari?"
Sasuke said nothing…
So Sakura decided to take it in her hands. "Don't worry, Kankurou-san. Your brother is strong; I think he's found a way to…"
"Save it, Sakura." Sasuke interrupted.
"What?"
"I said save it." The last Uchiha looked Kankurou straight in the eye. "Your siblings are dead, accept it."
"Sasuke!" Sakura yelled at him. "How can you…"
"No, he's right." Kankurou interrupted with a dead voice. "Excuse me please. I'd like to be alone for a while."
Sasuke and Sakura simply watched his retreating back in silence.
Finally the kunoichi decided to break the silence. "So?"
"So what?"
"What happened in Suna?"
Sasuke lowered his gaze. "As you know I wanted to return to battle, but when I came back through the portal I saw… Well, you can call it the Savior's last moment. I only had about two seconds to make a decision… So I decided to return through the portal."
Sakura's eyebrows shot up. "So you…"
"Yeah…" Sasuke punched the wall. "I backed down." He then sat down and leaned on the same wall. "I can't, Sakura. Naruto is just too strong…"
Sakura couldn't believe her ears. "B-But perhaps we could…"
"He took down the Savior, Sakura!" The Uchiha shouted. "They were the same size! What can we possibly do against…?!"
SLAP.
Sasuke touched his cheek in shock. "S-Sakura…?"
"Huff… Huff… Now listen to me." She said seriously. "Perhaps you are right; perhaps Naruto is way too strong. Perhaps we can do nothing to stop him, but what we certainly can not do is give up! Thousands are dead and much more will follow them in hopes of stopping what was once our teammate. And if they are not going to give up, what right do we have?!"
Sasuke looked at her in shock for a few moments and then…
"Hmhm… Hmhmhmhahaha! Never thought you will teach me morals." He smirked. "Okay, I'm with you. What should we do?"
Sakura bit her lower lip. That was the question she hoped to avoid
"Well… I guess first of all we must inform Hokage-sama."
Sasuke nodded. "Not a bad idea actually. Medics can tend to the wounded, let's go."
Naruto's hideout…
"Have you managed to retrieve the files?"
"Of course I have!" The silhouette replied. "Who do you take me for?"
Naruto smirked. "Yeah, sorry. So? Do you have good news for me, or perhaps I should attack Konoha right now?"
The silhouette looked down at this. "I got their records, but…"
"But?"
"I don't think you will like it…"
Naruto frowned, already expecting the answer. "Get on with it already."
"Very well." The silhouette said. "They needed a body."
"Tch." Naruto gritted his teeth in anger as a very painful memory flashed in his mind.
"NARUTO!"
He managed to turn his head just in time to see… a very worried Yugito, who pushed him out of the way in the last possible moment, but… she herself wasn't so lucky.
Naruto's heart skipped a beat. 'N-No…' He watched in horror as her body disintegrated right before his eyes. "Yugito!" He tried to reach her, but her hand turned to dust just before he touched it…
…But her smile remained in his mind even after she was gone.
"What about Neji?" He asked, expecting the answer again.
"His body was cremated the day after the battle."
"Grrrrr!" Naruto growled, blasting nearby wall with a fireball.
"Easy, bear." The silhouette said. "I know how you feel and I feel the same."
"I guess we won't be able to laugh at this together then…"
"I guess we won't… Oh."
"What?"
"Looks like your dear friend Sasuke has returned. He's on his way to the Hokage tower with pinky. I must beat them to it."
"Right and…"
"Yes?"
"Be careful." Naruto said. "I don't want to lose you too."
The silhouette smiled. "Oh? You're worried about my well-being? How cute!"
"Hmhmhm…" Naruto chuckled. "Do you even understand who you're calling cute?"
"Yup, you!"
"Hahaha! You are the only person who can possibly do that and survive."
"If you say so. Now I really have to go, see ya!" And with that the mysterious silhouette disappeared into darkness.
Naruto sat down and leaned on his elbow. "Damn, that was depressing…"
"What was depressing?" Kurenai asked, walking over and hugging him from behind.
The blond sighed, massaging the bridge of his nose. "The life is… Or more like her counterpart."
Kurenai raised an eyebrow. "I don't think I understand…"
"I'm sure you don't." Naruto paused. "Sorry… The thing is, after I heard about Uchiha's miraculous revival, I wanted to do the same… at least with Neji."
"So why can't you?"
"Because I'm gonna need a body dammit!"
"Oh…"
"Yeah, oh."
'Should I ask?' Kurenai bit her lip. "Umm… Can I ask you about Neji?"
Naruto took a deep breath. "Go ahead."
"What's up with you and him? I mean…"
"No, I know what you mean. He… He was the only guy I could truly call a friend." Naruto stated. "There were other people who brought sympathy in me. Kirabi for example. But he believed me only when I proved my strength. Neji wasn't like that. He was with me from the beginning… Heh, two small powerless boys decided to make a difference and change the world. Ridiculous, don't you think? But look at the world now. I guess you can see the difference, right?"
"You know, I always envied his guts." Kurenai stated, looking up. "He… Even while he was still a genin he held himself higher than any jounin."
"That's because he was higher than any of them." Naruto countered. "Damn…"
"Don't brood too much. He wouldn't want to see you do that."
Naruto glanced at her over his shoulder with a smirk. "Oh? And what would he want me to do?"
"How about ripping my clothes off and having your way?" Kurenai suggested.
"Let me think for about… two seconds."
"KYAH!"
Konohagakure no sato. Hokage's tower…
"We're close, let's hurry." Sakura said as she and Sasuke were nearing Hokage's office.
Suddenly they heard a voice…
"What do you mean she got away?!" Enraged female voice shouted. "How could you let it happen?!"
Sasuke's eyes narrowed. "Hinata." He recognized the voice.
"Stop it, Sasuke-kun." Sakura exclaimed. "We already talked about this, it can't possibly be Hinata."
"I'll believe it when I check myself." The Uchiha replied, entering the office. "Tsunade, we… Orochimaru?"
Indeed, there was no Tsunade behind Hokage's desk… Instead there was a very irritated Orochimaru.
"What are you doing in Tsunade-sama's chair, Orochimaru?" Sakura asked dangerously.
The snake sannin rolled his eyes. "Her work obviously. Since she decided to ditch it and we haven't found a replacement yet…"
Sakura tilted her head in confusion. "What do you mean ditched? She…"
"Your master has betrayed us, Haruno." Hinata stated emotionlessly. "She killed your senpai Shizune and admitted her relationships with Naruto."
The pink haired girl fell on her knees in shock. "N-No…"
"Believe it, Haruno." Hanata said mercilessly.
"Then where is she?" Sasuke asked quickly. "She couldn't possibly get awa…" He then remembered…
"What do you mean she got away?!"
"Wait, were you talking about Tsunade?"
"You're not as dumb as you look." The Hyuga clan head responded. "Indeed, we were talking about her."
"What happened?"
"I managed to catch Tsunade right after she killed Shizune." Orochimaru began. "We placed her in a high security cell and…"
"I told you to execute her immediately!" Hinata shouted.
Orochimaru sighed heavily. "…And she managed to escape." He finished.
Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed. "Any leads?"
"Oh yes, we have a major lead." Orochimaru said with sarcasm. "To tell the truth we even know who let her out!"
"Wha…?!" Sasuke's eyes widened. "Who was it?!"
Orochimaru shook his head. "You don't know him. A jounin of Torture and Interrogation division. He worked under Ibiki once…"
The Uchiha clenched his fist. "Where is this jounin?"
Orochimaru sighed again. "In hell obviously."
"What?! Naruto helped him to escape through…"
"No." Orochimaru cut him off. "I meant that he's dead. Apparently Tsunade has killed him herself…"
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Now that's a dilemma… why kill someone who's trying to help you?"
"We don't know." Hinata said and looked Sasuke straight in the eye. "More importantly…" It was obviously hard for her to continue. "Suna… What happened in Suna?"
Sasuke held a pause. "Are you sure you want to know?"
Hinata closed her eyes and nodded slowly.
"Sunagakure no sato has been destroyed."
Hinata shut her eyes closely and one tear fell. "Any… survivors?"
"We… We managed to rescue a large group of civilians and wounded shinobi, but…" Sakura said, regaining her posture.
"Gaara was not among them."
"No… I'm sorry, Hinata…"
Hinata said nothing.
"Wait a minute." Orochimaru spoke again. "What about the portal? You could've fled if things got out of hand."
"Yes, you are correct… This is exactly the reason I wanted to speak to you, Hinata." Sasuke said dangerously.
Hinata slowly opened her eyes. "Huh? What do you mean?"
"Stop it, Sasuke-kun! You see she's hurt and…" Sakura tried to stop him, but Sasuke was determined.
"Were you the last one to use the portal from Suna?" He asked.
Hinata thought for a moment. "Yes, I think I was, why?"
"Because the portal has been broken!" Sasuke spat through gritted teeth. "And we learned it when the battle has already started!"
"Hmm… Do you have any ideas who could've done that?" Orochimaru asked.
"I have." Sasuke stated. "It was someone in our ranks."
"Why do you think so?" The sannin asked.
"Naruto said so."
Pause.
"And you believed him?!" Hinata exclaimed hatefully. "I take it back; you're as dumb as they come!"
"I have to agree with her on that one, Sasuke." Orochimaru added. "Why don't you think that Naruto couldn't simply lie to you?"
Sasuke nodded. "I had my doubts at first, yes. But after hearing the story with Tsunade's escape… No, that jounin was framed. We still have a traitor in our ranks."
"What makes you think that?" Hinata asked.
"Naruto…" Sasuke spoke quietly. "When we talked, he said that this person was with him from the beginning. That means he will not waste him or her like that jounin."
"Sounds logical." Orochimaru agreed. "But we haven't sensed any other chakra signature from there."
"Hmm… Something's not right here, but we have other problems." Sasuke stated.
"What else?"
The raven haired teen raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Forgot already? Naruto is still alive you know. And more like sooner than later he will knock down on your door and say FINALLY NARUTO HAS COME BACK…"
"Don't say that!" Hinata screamed. "Don't you ever say that again!"
"Oh? Sorry for stealing Naruto's catchphrases!" The Sharingan user replied in sarcasm. "You know, I just thought of something… Why didn't he kill you back in Kumo? I heard he had a clear shot, but instead he just knocked you out. Why is that?"
Hinata glared back, baring her teeth. "Still think I'm a traitor, huh? How about you then, Uchiha?! I think you hold the record for facing him and coming out of it alive. Why is that?"
"Oh really?! For I remember getting two holes in my skull once!"
"Stop it!" Sakura shouted at them. "We need a plan, not a useless fight among ourselves."
"Go ahead!" Sasuke snapped at her. "For all it's worth we'll be fighting a fucking god!"
"No, not a god." Asudden voice spoke. "But even gods can be killed."
In a blink of an eye Sasuke drew Rebellion from his back and Orochimaru shot up from his seat.
"Who's there? Show yourself!" The snake sannin exclaimed.
Next moment a green half transparent figure of a woman appeared.
"Do not fear me, mortals. I will bring you no harm." She said.
"Who or what are you?" Sakura asked.
"My name is Athena, and I am the gods' messenger."
'Rebellion?' Sasuke asked mentally.
"She speaks the truth. I can feel traces of divine power on her."
Sasuke slowly removed his blade. "Very well, I'll hear you."
"Are you sure, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked not convinced with Athena's motives.
"Rebellion says it's okay."
"Hmm…" Orochimaru sat down again. "Alright have our undivided attention, Miss Athena."
The spiritual woman nodded. "I have come by the order of our lord the Elder God."
"Who?" Sakura asked.
"Our Lord." Athena explained. "He is the oldest and the most powerful among the gods. His reign is absolute."
"And he sent you here why exactly?" Now it was Hinata who asked.
"He sent me here to help you eliminate Uzumaki Naruto's threat."
Another pause.
"Wait a second, you mean you will take Naruto down for us?" Sasuke asked hopefully.
"No." Athena shook her head. "First of all, I'm just a messenger and not a warrior. Secondly, no, the gods won't give you their direct support either."
"Just great!" Sasuke exclaimed sarcastically. "Then what's the point of doing anything at all?!"
"There is a point." Athena stated. "For our lord had a vision. In this vision Uzumaki Naruto became even more powerful than he is now." She said to everyone's shock. "He will destroy everything. Humans, demons and eventually even the gods will fall by his hand. That's what our lord has seen."
"How sure this vision can be?" Sakura asked.
"He was never wrong."
"Wait a minute!" Orochimaru spoke. "If your lord truly believes that he's going to die by Naruto's hand, then why won't he get down here and kill him himself?"
"That is because a god can wage war only against another god. These are the rules." Athena answered. "And despite Uzumaki Naruto's strength, he is not a god."
"He looks pretty god to me…" Sasuke spat.
"No, there is a certain condition that has to be met in order to become a god. A condition we're sure Uzumaki Naruto has not met."
"What condition is it?" Orochimaru asked in curiosity.
"That is not important." Athena stated. "The important part is that Uzumaki Naruto must be destroyed… And he must be destroyed by the hands of a mortal."
"And how do you expect us to do that?!" Sasuke snapped at her.
"That is why I'm here." Gods' messenger replied. "Have you ever heard of Pandora's box?"
Naruto's hideout…
"Ah! Shame on you, starting without me!" Hanabi exclaimed slyly, riding Naruto's dick.
"Mmmh! Mhmmhshm!" Naruto tried to say, but failed miserably because his tongue was too busy massaging Kurenai's insides.
"What did he say?"
"Something like 'Sorry, babe, but I just couldn't help it'." Kurenai replied.
Hanabi smirked. "Well, don't do this again." She said, starting to rub Kurenai's breasts.
"H-Hey, Hanabi, stop! Kyah!" Kurenai yelped, biting her lower lip in pleasure.
"Hmhmhm…" Hanabi chuckled. "You're pretty sensitive… Especially around here!" She added, squeezing Kurenai's nipples.
"No, wait! If you do that…!"
"Let me see your face as you cum!" Hanabi exclaimed with a malicious grin.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Kurenai screamed in orgasm, falling forward right on Hanabi who held her in place.
"Did you feel good?" Hanabi asked, stroking Kurenai's face.
"Huff… Huff… Oh yes! And you're going to feel just as good!"
Hanabi's eyes widened when Kurenai inserted a finger in her ass. "Wait, that's…!"
"Indeed! I know your weak spots too!"
"Mhmmmmmh!"
"Huh?"
Naruto grabbed Kurenai's waist and removed her from his head. "I said get off or I'm going to suffocate!"
"Oops, sorry." The red eyed woman replied sheepishly. "Now help me make this not-so-little-anymore bitch cum like crazy!"
Naruto grinned. "Sounds good to me!" With that he grabbed Hanabi's ass and pulled her down hardly.
"Ahh! So deep!" The former Hyuga shouted as her head arched backwards. "Yes, more!"
"You want more huh?" Kurenai asked, starting to massage Hanabi's clitoris with her other hand. "How's that?"
"Ah yes! I'm feeling it!" Hanabi yelled, fastening her pace. "I'm going to… KYAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"Hmhmhm…" Kurenai chuckled. "That face was gorgeous."
"Haha…" Hanabi chuckled between pants. "That orgasm was gorgeous."
"That may be so…"
They both turned to Naruto.
"…But aren't you forgetting something important? Like… down there?"
They looked down.
"Oh, look girl! It's still standing!" Hanabi exclaimed happily.
"Indeed! Let's correct that!" And with that Hanabi and Kurenai mounted both of Naruto's legs, holding him in place, and started to lick his manhood fiercely.
"O-Oi…" Naruto spoke as his eyebrows shot up. "Hey, not that fast. I want to prolong the pleasure."
But girls were not listening to him. On the opposite, they started to also stroke it with their soft hands.
"Hey, cut it out! I'm…" He tried to sit up, but they just pushed him back down.
"Lie down and enjoy, Naruto-kun." Kurenai said slyly.
"Yeah, you're going to feel real good very soon."
"Oh shit…" Naruto muttered, trying to hold himself. 'Fuck, too good! No! I don't want to cum so fast!'
"Think of something ugly!" Yamato suggested.
'Tch… Sasuke and Sakura… Alone… Naked... Kissing... Fucking! Shit, not working!'
"Tough luck then, pal! HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Fuuuuuck!" Naruto gritted his teeth.
"Go ahead and cum, Naruto-kun!" Kurenai exclaimed.
"Feel good and let us have it!"
"SHIT!" He could not hold on any longer and grunted in pleasure, releasing an extreme amount of semen, even by his standards.
"Kyah!" Kurenai exclaimed in joy. "How much! It's like a fountain!" She said, continuing to stroke Naruto's still ejaculating member.
"Naruto-sama, please give me some more!" Hanabi pleaded, taking it into her mouth.
"Oh damn!" Naruto grunted.
"Hey, that's unfair! I want some too!" Kurenai removed Hanabi and took her place.
"Mmm… That was delicious!" Hanabi stated, licking her lips. "I want another one." She added, crawling closer to Naruto's upper part.
"Mmhhmm…" Kurenai agreed, still sucking out what was left.
"Hmhmhmhahahaha!" Naruto laughed. "You know, if I had a choice, that's how I would want to die!"
"No such luck for you, Naruto-sama." Hanabi said seductively. "You're not dying anytime soon…" She traced his chest with her finger. "And I won't let you pass out until I'm satisfied either."
Naruto grinned evilly. "Pass out?! Me?! Hah, not happening! You're the ones who will pass out!"
"Well that's just great!" A sudden voice spoke. "They have an orgy and I must go looking for someone I never saw before in my life."
"Hmhmhm… Nice to see you to, Alucard." Naruto replied. "So? Did you bring her?"
"See for yourself."
Naruto raised his head and… yep, there stood Tsunade in all her glory.
"Well, well, well… Nice to see you too, Hokage-sama. I hope you're not here to bring me back, right?"
"Hn." Tsunade said in response. "You know damn well that I'm not. More importantly…" She removed her top.
"Oh? Straight of the bat?" Naruto asked in amusement.
Tsunade shrugged and continued to undress. "That was a part of the deal, so why wait?"
Naruto's grin widened. "Oh, by all means. You don't need to wait, Hokage-sama. Your orders are absolute."
Tsunade smirked. "Fuck it all, I'm not going to wallow in despair. I did it enough already! It's time that I live for myself." She said, getting on the bed.
"Nice, can I join?" Alucard asked hopefully.
"NO!" Came the simultaneous response of three girls.
"You're evil… EVIL!"
Konohagakure no sato. Hokage's office…
"Pandora's box? Never heard of it." Sasuke admitted.
"I have…" Sakura countered. "But I thought it was just a fairy tale."
"It is not." Athena stated. "Pandora's box really does exist."
Sasuke was still not impressed. "So what? What can this box possibly contain to…?"
"A weapon." Athena interrupted. "The most powerful weapon a mortal can wield."
"What weapon?" Orochimaru asked cautiously.
"The power to kill a god."
And another pause.
"And you want to give us such a power?" Sasuke asked, recovering from his shock.
"Yes." Athena nodded.
"Wait a second; doesn't that make us a threat to you?" Orochimaru spoke.
Athena smiled. "You are very smart, sannin Orochimaru. Indeed, this power will place one of you in Uzumaki Naruto's place. But we would rather give that power to you instead of letting Uzumaki Naruto have it."
"Wait, he knows about this weapon?" Sasuke asked sharply.
"Not yet." Athena admitted. "But he will soon enough. And if he reaches it before us, then all hope is lost."
"Tch." Sasuke gritted his teeth. "I'd rather die then let him become more powerful!" He spat.
Athena nodded. "This is exactly why we chose you, Uchiha Sasuke to bear that power."
Sasuke's eyebrows shot up.
"Wait! You can't just throw it down on him like that!" Sakura tried to object, but Athena raised her hand.
"No, there is another reason for that choice." Gods' messenger stated. "The reason we chose Uchiha Sasuke is because he is the only one among you who can receive this power and possibly survive."
Orochimaru gave out a bitter laugh. "I knew there was a catch, there always is…"
"True." Athena admitted with a nod. "The catch as you put it is that no mortal can receive such power and not die from overload. You, Uchiha Sasuke are a demon. But even that won't be enough. We will have to take another stop on our way."
"What stop?" The last Uchiha wondered.
"You are not strong enough as a demon, so you will need additional power boost."
"Won't Naruto need it too?" Hinata asked.
"No. Uzumaki Naruto prepared himself long and hard to get where he is right now." Athena explained. "He gained his power step by step. For example, to consume Kyuubi no yoko's power he prepared his body for almost five years so it could take such amount of yoki."
"Actually I wanted to ask about that." Orochimaru stated. "That technique of his… Soul Drain he called it. He managed to consume Kyuubi, Mundus and probably someone else's power with it. My question is where did it come from? And is it possible for anyone else to use it?"
Athena paused at this. "I was not expecting such question." She admitted. "And to tell the truth, if not for my orders to answer all your questions, I would not tell you anything about it at all."
Orochimaru's eyebrows furrowed. "Why? What's so mysterious about it?"
Gods' messenger closed her eyes. "You chose a very correct word, sannin Orochimaru. That power he has… it is not something we can comprehend."
"Huh?" Hinata tilted her head in confusion. "You mean that even the gods…"
"Can't understand how he does it." Athena stated. "The only one who has similar power is the Death God. But there is a difference. The God of Death can only transfer souls and consume them only when there is a mutual agreement."
"Like in Sarutobi-sensei's case." Orochimaru added.
"Yes… However Uzumaki Naruto found a way to rip the soul from its owner's body without his content. We don't know how he did it, and the only information we managed to gather is that the target needs to be immobile."
"I see…" Orochimaru rubbed his jaw. "But I still don't understand your reaction when I asked about it."
Athena sighed. "Very well, sannin Orochimaru. The reason for my reaction is that Uzumaki Naruto became a demon using this technique…"
"So?" Sasuke asked. "Who cares how he became a demon?"
"We do, Uchiha Sasuke. And you do too, if you really want to stop him."
Sasuke frowned. "I'm sorry. Please continue."
Athena nodded. "There is a reason why the gods are concerned with Uzumaki Naruto, and why we decided to gave you the power to defeat him. Now listen very carefully because this won't be easy to understand. When someone dies, their souls are usually sent to the Netherworld by the Death God. There they undergo rebirth as demons. And each demon has a limit of strength, a limit they can't surpass." She pointed at Sakura and Sasuke. "Both of you has this limit. Despite your unusual case, you still became demons the normal way, dying and being reborn as a demon. The only difference is that you have kept your appearance and memories… Uzumaki Naruto however… He became a demon through that technique of his. In fact, he's not even technically a demon. After all, he never died. And that is the main problem, because of his unique status…"
"He has no limit." Orochimaru finished grimly, glaring into space.
"Not entirely correct." Athena shook her head. "He has a limit because any mortal has it… But because of his technique he can easily break it. The only thing he needs is the right amount of power."
Sasuke's eyes widened at this. "So you say…"
"Yes, he can become even stronger than gods."
"I won't allow it!" The last Uchiha shouted. "Tell me what I must do! Anything!"
Athena nodded. "Very well. We must come to the Netherworld as soon as possible."
"I'll assemble a team." Orochimaru said. "Wait for a little while, and I…"
"No." Athena interrupted. "Uchiha Sasuke must go alone… With me as his only guide."
"No way!" Sakura shouted. "I will not let him wonder through the Netherworld on his own! I will…"
"You are not ready for this journey, Haruno Sakura." Athena stated. "Besides, no one else must know the location of Pandora's box."
"But…"
"It's okay, Sakura." Sasuke said with closed eyes. "When do we leave?"
"It would be better to leave right now… But I understand you must do some last minute preparations. Call me when you're ready, and don't wait too long. Uzumaki Naruto doesn't know about the box yet, but it can change any second…" Athena said, disappearing from view.
Naruto's hideout…
"Hmm…" Naruto was sitting in his armchair with a cola can in hand.
"Naruto-sama?"
He turned his head to see Hanabi slowly getting up from bed.
"Why are you awake?"
"Something troubles you, I can feel it." Hanabi said, walking closer. "What happened?"
Naruto drank from his can. "That's the thing, I don't know. I feel that something is not right…"
"Not right in which way?"
The Overlord paused. "I feel… threatened for some reason."
Hanabi walked behind him and started to massage his shoulders. "Don't be ridiculous, what can possibly threaten you?"
"There is…"
He was suddenly interrupted when a silhouette appeared in front of him.
"I was expecting you." Naruto stated. "What do you have to report?"
"We've got problems." The silhouette began worriedly.
Naruto nodded. "Just as I expected. What problems are there?"
"Have you ever heard the name Athena?"
The blond raised an eyebrow. "Sounds familiar…"
"I doubt it. She claimed to be a messenger of the gods…"
"And how do you know…?"
"She appeared right in the middle of Hokage's office."
"Eh?" Naruto exclaimed, raising the second eyebrow. "For what purpose?"
The silhouette paused. "She said that the gods aren't very pleased with you…"
Naruto rolled his eyes. "I don't give a damn about that. It's not like they can do something about it…"
"Apparently they can." The silhouette stated. "Ever heard of Pandora's box?"
Naruto shot up from his seat with wide eyes. "What did you say?!"
"Pandora's box. Did you hear of it?"
"What's the matter, Naruto-sama?" Hanabi asked in slight shock.
"The box…" Naruto said through gritted teeth. "It is said to contain the ultimate weapon… a power capable of killing even a god."
Hanabi's eyes widened as well. "Wait, you don't mean…"
"And what did she say about this box?"
The silhouette paused again. "The gods are offering the power inside the box in exchange for… your termination."
"Grrr!" Naruto growled, crushing a cola can in his hand.
Hanabi's eyes widened even more. 'I've never seen Naruto-sama so angry…'
"Motherfuckers!" The Overlord cursed to the side. "They are going to destroy all my hard work!" He turned to the silhouette sharply. "Who are they offering it to?"
"That's the most interesting part." The silhouette stated. "It's your dear friend Sasuke."
"Huh?" Hanabi exclaimed in confusion. "But this guy is a total moron. Why him of all people?"
"No." Naruto shook his head. "That part is completely understandable."
"How so?" The former Hyuga asked.
"Hn. The legend says that inside Pandora's Box is the strongest weapon a mortal can wield." Naruto smirked. "But that is a great misunderstanding."
"You know…" The silhouette suddenly said. "That Athena said that you don't know about the box…"
"She's wrong, I do." Naruto replied.
"So what about misunderstanding?" Hanabi asked.
"Oh… Well, first of all the box is in the Netherworld. As you can possibly guess from that, no simple mortal can get there." The blond stated. "Then, if a simple mortal opens the box, he will simply die from overload. Come to think of it… Uchiha will die too. Don't they…"
"That's right, she mentioned that." The silhouette confirmed. "She then mentioned something about additional power boost."
"Fucking piece of shit!" Naruto cursed again, sitting down on his armchair heavily.
"Wait, what's the big deal?" Hanabi asked. "Can't you just catch him on his way and deal with it?"
Naruto growled. "The Netherworld is a big place and I have no idea where they…" His eyes widened and his lips curled into an evil grin.
"Oh, I know that expression too well." The silhouette stated. "What are my actions?"
"What's Uchiha's status?" Naruto asked.
"He was allowed to make some last minute preparations and then he will leave with Athena as his only guide."
"Haha! Now look here, try to delay his depart by any means necessary. But do not try to cancel it whatsoever. I need them to leave just before I get there!"
"Hmm… I'll think of something." The silhouette stated. "What do you have in mind?"
Naruto's grin widened. "What do you think?"
"Hahaha… See you in Konoha." And with that the silhouette disappeared from the room.
"So… You have finally found something that can end your life."
"Hmhmhmhmhm…" Naruto chuckled and glanced over his shoulder at Alucard. "Don't be stupid, it can very well kill you too."
"Perhaps."
"Hanabi, go wake Kurenai and Tsunade. Looks like our fun time has been cut short."
"Hai!" The girl ran out of the room immediately.
When she left Alucard came out from the dark corner. "What is really on your mind, Naruto?"
The demon smirked. "You know… Sometimes a pawn can become a queen. I will let my dear Uke-chan do just that… only to sacrifice him next second to achieve complete victory."
Alucard thought for a moment. "Well, I don't understand completely, but…"
"You will…" Naruto stated. "And that's the bottom line, 'cus Naruto said so."

Aaaaaaand cut! No! Don't cut my balls! Idiots…
Anyway, what do you think? Will this do?
Now one other thing. As you probably know, I stopped writing omakes as of lately. No, don't be sad if you liked them. And no, I won't write one right now.
But I want to give you another thing. You see, I'm gonna launch another story as soon as I will finish this one. I think you'll like it. I do.
So what's I'm gonna give you is a preview of this new story! Roll the footage...

Preview…
Betrayed by my own parents…
"Wait! There must be another way! I don't want to lose you!"
"Another way… Yes, there is one!"
Thrown away like a useless trash…
"Kill the demon!"
"No, I won't allow this! He will go to the orphanage."
Hated by everyone…
"Please… Just let me die…"
"You took away my husband! You can never suffer enough!"
Saved by one person…
"What is… Oh my god! Still alive. I have to hurry!"
I was brought out of darkness…
"Please don't hurt me!"
"How can someone hurt such a cute little boy?"
"Cute… me?"
Only to be thrown back down deeper than before!
"Tou-san! Kaa-san!"
"YOU! You did this! I'll kill you!"
"No, that wasn't him."
Now I have a new purpose!
"You did it!"
"Indeed I did."
"I'll kill you!"
I have conquered fear itself!
"I said shut your mouth!"
"Im… Impossible! How can you have this cursed power?!"
And now I have weapons!
"Answer my questions."
"…Yes."
Nothing will stop me now!
"But you promised!"
"Never trust a rattlesnake."
Friendship…
"I will do anything you say!"
"I don't need anything from you."
Comaraderie…
"I thought we were friends!"
"You thought wrong."
Love…
"How could you do this to me?!"
"I'm a rattlesnake."
All is irrelevant. Except…
"I will have my revenge!"
"But at what cost?"
"I don't care!"
My mind is set. The time for action has come!
"This story won't have a happy ending!"
...
WAY OF THE RATTLESNAKE.
Coming soon…
