Chapter 17

( Naruto POV )

If I had to describe, the emotions I am feeling right now, it would be fear. The last time I felt this scared was when Hinata was almost kidnapped by that scum from Kumo.

Hinami was the only woman who showed genuine motherly affection towards me, even though I wasn't related to her by blood.

Now, there she was inside that room, where she is to give birth to her daughter. Even though I am young, I had seen enough shit in the redlight district, to know how babies were made and the process of giving birth was a painfull phase for a woman. Heck! I even heard some women died during childbirth...

' I hope that doesn't happen to her.' I thought, I believed that Hinami would would be fine. Well not that excludes her daughter and her husband. They were already terrified, at the very thought, if something goes downhill.

Me and Kuromaru calmed down the scared Hinata, saying that her mother was a strong woman...

Our words felt useless when the doctor came out from the emergency room. He wore the usual surgeon get-up other doctors wore and those hospital mask covered his lower face, but his face was displaying a face that felt so fake to him. It was like he was putting an act. He then crushed Hiashi's hope with words that broke his very heart... Hiashi had to make a choice, either save Hinami or the unborn child. Hiashi was devastated, but I was confused.

This doctor was lying, I can tell it was lie because I had seen many people lying to me inorder to kill me. But why, something was not right here. But Hiashi was too heart broken to even think straight enough to see that the doctor was lying.

Hizashi had to calm down his brother, from suffocating the doctor. The doctor said that he would do his best but still expect the worse.

After an hour of waiting, Hizashi was busy calming down his heartbroken brother, and Hinata was already asleep due to tiredness, her head was on my lap, while I ran my hand on her silky indigo hair. I smiled at the girl on my lap. I then carefully placed her head on the bench we have been sitting on.

I stood up and went to door of the emergency. Kuromaru then saw me going to the door, " What's wrong First brother?" He asked me, using the sign language we had both developed to understand each other.

Me using the same sign language to reply to him, I said," Something's wrong and I'm going to find out."

Kuromaru followed me, supressing our chakras, I pushed the door as quietly as possible, as we entered the room, another door greeted us, now We didn't want to alert the doctors inside, so we just opened the door just a little bit, just to get a little to look. The doctors inside were busy it seems, but my focus was on Hinami, on the hospital bed looking like a mess and was unconscious, and a baby wrapped with a cloth, carried on the arms of another doctor.

The doctors were discussing something, but their voices could not reach my ears, their mouths was covered by those masks, so I couldn't read their lips either. One doctor said something to the other doctor, to which that doctor smirked, something was definitely wrong here.

The doctor then took out an injection, and was lifting it high, aiming straight at Hinami's heart.

That was it. That doctor and all the other scums in that room was threat to Hinami and I will never allow anything bad to happen to her.

I took a scroll out from my pockets and with deadly accuracy, threw it at the doctor's hand, upon impact the scroll, rolled back to me, opening itself and the injection, fell to the ground. We both ran towards the fake doctors, I channeled my chakra to my right hand and Kuromaru on his horn. I went straight to scroll, slamming my hand on the scroll, I took my large sword, whom I named "Despair" not many days ago.

Keeping my momentum, I held Despair with both my hands and leaped towards the doctor who had the injection. I wanted to cut him in half, but Hinami was on the way, so I swung my blade horizontally, aiming the broad part of Despair, at his head.

All the fake doctors in that room, have not realised that we had began our assault. The doctor who held the injection, turned to our direction, but I hit him, straight on his head, with my sword. The man, was sent flying straight towards the corner of the room with a thud. The three other doctors jumped away from me.

At the same moment, Kuromaru went straight towards the doctor who was holding onto the newly born Hanabi. With his brute strength, he rammed his chakra enhanced horn to his target's liver.

The doctor, threw Hanabi to the air, pushing Kuromaru away, he moved a step back, he pulled out a kunai but was immediately assaulted by Kuromaru as he rammed his horn to his heart, immediately killing him.

Hanabi was falling towards the concrete floor but Kuromaru, with his quickness, he grabbed the cloth which wrapped her with his mouth. Then he quickly came to my side, placing Hanabi on Hinami's unconscious body.

The reason our assault went successfull this far was due to our successful sneak attack. Now, the tables have been turned. The other three fake doctors, had already stood in a formation and we began to stare at each other's eyes, glaring at each other.

After a long silent glaring competition, I signalled Kuromaru with our sign language. To which Kuromaru nodded.

Then, "Second brother now!!!" I screamed. Kuromaru, using his hind legs kicked the bed, Hinami and Hanabi occupied. The bed having wheels rocketed towards the room's exit.

The fake doctors, chased the rocketing bed, but I won't let them have their way. I threw a scroll at the direction of the three fake doctors. The scroll landed a few metres infront of them. I formed a one handed Ram seal, "Release!!!" I bellowed. The scroll glowed, then two of the fake doctors slipped and fell on their asses.

That was a slip scroll, on activation it would make it surrounding areas slippery for a couple seconds, simple but very useful. The last of the fakes realising that the scroll caused his teammates to slip, he jumped to the ceiling and remained there.

'Great they were all ninjas.' I thought, the situation was very bad. The two other ninjas were trying to get up, but the the slip scroll prevented them from getting a good footing. Me and Kuromaru saw this and went to action, moving towards the two ninjas as if we were skating on ice, I swung Despair, attempting to cleave him, but the ninja stopped it with his Kunai. "Is that all you got punk!" He sneered at me. To which I simply smirked.

"No, that's not all."

A black horn came out from his chest, where his heart was. The ninja dropped to the ground obviously dead, with Kuromaru behind the dead ninja, with a dirty horn stained with blood.

The two remaining ninjas, suddenly started throwing kunais at us. I just held Despair infront of us using the broad part of the blade to act as a shield. The ninjas then came from our sides and delivered a roundhouse kick to me. Despair was knocked away from my hands and I flew straight towards the wall, hitting spine first with a thud. I grunted in pain, even though I had a high pain tolerance, that was very painfull. I saw a kunai infront of me and I stretched out my hand to grab it, but a kunai struck my hand impaling it. I grunted pain, I used my other arm to pull the kunai from my hand, but I felt a strong foot stomping my back preventing me from pulling the blade.

The ninja grabbed my neck, lifting me up. " You and your meat bag over there gave us a lot of problems you know." The ninja sneered, pointing at Kuromaru, who was on the floor, his neck was being grabbed by the other ninja, with a Kunai dangerously held at his eye.

" I'll make sure you die painfully as possible." the ninja said increased the grip on my neck. I couldn't breathe, I used my left hand to, which was my uninjured hand to force his hand to loosen his grip on my throat. With my grip strength, I squeezed his hand tight, the ninja's face contorted with pain.

" You have a vicious grip punk, but that won't save you!"

The ninja increased the grip on my throat. My left hand went limp. My vision was getting blurry.

Kuromaru saw me, fear was plastered on his face. without hesitation, he bit the ninja's hand who was clearly distracted by his fellow ninja suffocating me. The ninja screamed in pain, distracting the ninja holding my throat. The grip on my throat loosen a bit but was just enough for me to counter attack.

I stretched my injured hand, on the ninja face. Despite my young age, my palms were huge, and was very rough, due to all tha intense grip training. My palm covered his upper face, using my thumb and my three other fingers, I squeezed the ninja's temple with all my strength. The ninja screamed in pain, and he released my throat.

The human skull had some weak spots, especially the temple, pressure that spot, and you will be in a lot of pain.

The ninja grabbed my wrist, trying to remove it from his face, but I won't allow that. I didn't train for the last ten months in grip strength for nothing.

The kunai that had impaled my hand, was still there and the said hand, was squeezing the ninja's temple. I formed a fist with my uninjured hand, and with a great force, I struck the kunai. The Kunai, dug even deeper into my injured hand, the Kunai came out from my palm, then pierced the ninja's face as well. The ninja, fell to his knees, his body limped and breathing, ceased. He was dead.

As Kuromaru bit the person holding him down, the ninja used his other hand, forcing him to release the vicious bite. Kuromaru quickly got up, concentrating chakra on his horn, he rammed it on the ninja's knee. A loud screamed of pain was heard. The ninja, punched Kuromaru's head as a counterattack, but Kuromaru jerked his head, pulling his horn out of the ninja's knee, leaving a horrifying hole on it.

The ninja quickly lost his balance and fell on his knees, not wasting an opportunity, Kuromaru rammed his horn at the ninja's neck. From there, was complete silence... we had defeated a group of Ninjas, but with a lot of injuries.

I had pulled out the kunai from his hand, dropping it to the ground, with a metallic ting sound.

Mine and Kuromaru's aura had already started to spread to our entire body, healing us. I got the most injuries here, and I can feel all my nutrients leaving my body, I felt very hungry. But I have something more serious matters to deal with.

The ninja, whom I sent flying was starting to come back to his senses. We both went nearer to the ninja, who was groaning.

I had dealt with enough ninja shit for today, so, I don't want to take any chances. I had to cut off legs and arms for mine and Kuromaru's safety . As I cleaved off his legs with Despair, he screamed in pain, then when I cut both his arms off, he screamed again. I felt and showed no pity nor mercy to this scum infront of me.

I had dealt with enough shit in my life and finally, finally I had found people, people who accepted me, gave me things I never received from this cursed life of mine. And now a group imbeciles are trying to take that away from me. Death was only a light punishment for these scums.

The leg-less and arm-less ninja looked at me, then towards his dead comrades.

" Any last words." I said, raising Despair above my head, with my intent to cut him in half. But the ninja suddenly began to laugh.

" What's so funny?" I asked, this was very confusing.

" I'm not gonna go to Hell alone..." The ninja said, his face morphed into a creepy smile. " I... will drag you alon with.ME!!!!"

Suddenly, smoke came out, from his shirt, the other dead ninjas did that as well. This was not a good sign.

I opened his shirt, with the tip of my sword, revealing, five explosive tags stuck on his chest. And those tags were burning! a burning explosive tag was more dangerous than those who explode on contact, as they explodes and burn any unfortunate fellow, it came across with. And judging from the tag it self, it would take only three seconds to explode.

We had no way out, all the dead ninjas had those explosive tags in their bodies. All we could do was brace for impact.

" SHIT!!!" I screamed, as I placed Despair infront of me and Kuromaru, as we hid behind the broad blade.

Everything went White, I felt the burning feeling on my entire body, my hair was completely burnt, leaving me bald. But worse of all, I couldn't hear anything...

' I'm.not.going.to.die.YET!!!'

There is no way I'm giving up my life, I just found a person, who loved me despite my flaws, people who cares for me and no way I'm going to leave them. Never!!!

Suddenly mine and Kuromaru's aura began to behave abnormally. It spread over our entire body, then it compressed itself, to make itself hard, it formed around our body like an armor. Well that was something...

I opened my eyes to see myself in a familiar damp sewer.

" Welcome back, Naruto." I heard a deep voice, behind me, I turned around to see the same gigantic fox locked behind the huge gates.

" Well that was a bummer."

" It certainly is."

Another voice was heard. It was the same shadowy figure, who pulled me here to this place, many months back.

" Well! Look who finally showed up." I said.

The shadowy figure, gave a very creepy grin, " Well, long time no see. Smiling Demon."
