Chapter 66 The Horror is Summoned

Danzo watched as his scientists and doctors looked at the green glowing fluid, it seemed to not glow as brightly as it once did. Thus far they found little to nothing.

"Any progress", asked Danzo.

"Some, It seems to be some kind of serum but thus far, no subjects show any changes, our tests show it uses chemicals that either prevent or reverse necrosis, but we have no idea why it would be so important, we have plenty of chemicals that do the same thing. However It seems that whatever it was did not last. It seems to have expired, as such we cannot be sure of its full capabilities, though we are still testing it", said the Doctor.

"I see, let me know if there is any progress", said Danzo.

"Yes sir", said the Doctor.

Danzo left to his translators, who had translated a small portion of the documents. Thus far it seemed as if this was getting the researchers interest. As soon as Danzo walked in one immediately got up and greeted his master.

"Lord Danzo, these papers. They are amazing", said the researcher.

Danzo looked at the papers before turning his eyes back to the researcher.

"What do they show", asked Danzo.

"It is a new school of seals, The writing details how to bring seals into three dimensions using string and twine. With several researchers, we can have one ready in thirty minutes"

"The Uzumaki were known for their skills in the Sealing arts, it seems as if the Fox child has taken an interest in them, and improved them. Tell me what do these seals do", asked Danzo.

"The one we have translated tell of a way to open a portal of sorts using a spiraling tube patern", said the researcher.

"A portal, is it similar to the fourths jutsu", asked Danzo.

"We believe so, though we cannot know for sure, may we construct the seal", asked the researcher.

"Is it dangerous", asked Danzo.

"Nothing we cannot handle", said the researcher.

"Do so in a sealed room, have guards and our sealmasters there as well. Take any precautions you see fit", said Danzo.

The researcher bowed. As Danzo left, he did not see the strange way the researcher's Shadow moved against the wall. He could not know that his words were not his own, and he could not hear the silent screams from the researcher as he watched through his own eyes, but could not control his own body.

"Fool", spoke the mans shadow.

Minato and Naruto were in the training room. Minato held a pronged kunai in his hand and was currently explaining the basics of the Flying Thunder God.

"...So the seal is only important for you actually making it where you want. Otherwise wouldn't make it anywhere.", said Minato.

Naruto observed his Own Kunai.

"So you simply understand how time works and use that. Makes sence, most people think of time as a straight line, when it's more like a river, changing based on how fast you are going, and by going just fast enough you travel a fraction of a second in the future. You are using existing worm holes to travel both time and distance. Interesting, Wormholes do exist all around us, true they are smaller than molecules and atoms, and exist in the quantum foam, and even though they are a billion-trillion-trillionths of a centimetre across, you capture one and enlarge it. The kunai does the same thing and link the two. And since you control both the entrance and exit, you wont end up half way across the galaxy in deep space", said Naruto.

"...Yeah, though not the exact words I would use", said Minato.

"The principal is easy to understand", said Naruto.

"The seal itself makes sure I arrive a fraction of a second in the future, after all it is impossible for two of the exact same people to exist in the same point in time, to get round this you only appear somewhere the exact moment you disappear, at no point was their two of me", said Minato.

"Alright, so how do I actually execute it", asked Naruto.

"First you have to understand how to actually enter the. What did you call it, Wormhole. Well you have to learn to make one, and how to make the seal for your destination, the first part is the most difficult", said Minato.

Naruto nodded. Before anything could happen Sasuke and Sakura walked up. Underneath their clothing was the Chakra armor.

"What exactly do these do", asked Sasuke.

"They drain chakra from ninjutsu and genjutsu, have some minor protection against projectiles. Also amplifies chakra. It has been modified by Herbert. The calfs, feet, palms, and back have special jets that use chakra to allow us to jump higher and alow us to slow our decent. This was taken by using similar tech that makes the sky village fly, though this is much more limited. Using special parts it removes many original weaknesses, originally they would explode in contact with eachother. This was caused by the suits trying to absorb chakra from each other, we made it where they no longer do this, instead they deactivate when in close proximity to each other, so we should still not be close to each other. Finally they use Zabuza's swords abilities to heal with blood. So don't be afraid to use your curse marks, they will still work, though because of your wings Sasuke, I recommend not using the jump jets afterwards. You wings would have probably broken them", said Naruto.

They examined their suits for a moment.

"Where did you find these", asked Sakura.

"The land of snow, though they use the weaker prototypes. We made sure to perfect them. Our masks have a nozzle that sprays poison, with them we have infrared vision to see through the cloud. Also has a built-in radio so we can remain in contact with each other", said Naruto.

"Cool", said Sakura.

"That it is, now we only have to wait for the clones to figure out where my papers are", said Naruto.

"What was on them anyway", asked Sasuke.

"A new formula on how to use seals in three dimensions, though the slightest mistake can be disastrous. They could summon an Outer God, or who knows what", said Naruto.

"You sure you don't need my help", asked Minato.

Naruto shook his head.

"If anyone see's a dead man walking, no telling what could happen. With our summons and skills we can handle it", said Naruto.

Minato nodded before Kushina walked in.

"This place is wierd ya know. I mean have you seen what they got in those cages", said Kushina.

"Not yet, why whats there", asked Minato.

"A big giant leech, and a thing made of some kind of color I've never seen", said Kushina.

"You should see what we cook up in our research labs", said Naruto.

As they waited a clone walked into the room and saluted Naruto.

"At ease, what do you have to report", asked Naruto.

"We have confirmed that the infiltrators was a ROOT agent, we have yet to find their hideout, but we have a few ideas", said the clone.

"Just point us in the right direction. Anything else", asked Naruto.

"We have found out that Kabuto was still in the city, but has left. Last reports show him headed to the Land of Demons", said the clone.

"Land of Demons. Why go there. Get the clones who were infiltrating sky to the Land of Demons, I'm sure they are board after the Sky Village was eliminated", said Naruto.

The clone saluted before leaving.

Danzo watched from his two-way mirror as the long spiraling tube of string and twine was finished. When viewed it looked like a tunnel leading from one point to another. It was made of string, with twine attached to the wall that gave it the appearance of hovering in mid-air. the black ink was applied to the string, they were careful not to get any on the twine. Danzo was distracted momentarily by the reflection in the two way mirror. It appeared as if there was a man covered in shadows standing next to him watching the room as well. When he turned there was nothing there but the researcher, and when he turned back the strange reflection was gone. Danzo shook his head lightly as the seal was finished. A researcher applied a single drop of blood to the spiral, and they waited.

At first nothing seemed to happen, then the string began to glow a strange purple color. The seal masters backed off as the twine was snapped leaving the spiraling string floating in the air. It began to spin. A purple disk appeared at each end of the opening of the seal. Slowly they extended toward each other. As they neared bolts of lightning came from the seal. The researchers and sealmasters panicked at they were incinerated to dust by the strange electrical discharges. They ran to the locked door in fear, but it was left locked. Soon only dust remained. This was when the two portals finally touched.

There was a blinding light and Danzo looked away. After a moment all that was left was a floating vertical disk, purple in color. It was getting smaller. As it shrunk the dust blew to the walls. Once the portal shrunk into nothingness it all seemed over. When there was a bright flash of light that quickly disappeared. When Danzo's vision returned he looked in the room. Where there was once a portal only dust remained, but unlike the gray dust of the researchers this was black.

"What happened", asked Danzo.

"We are not sure", said the researchers standing behind him.

Suddenly the black dust flowed up. It began swirling around, combining together into a humanoid shape. The dust from the researchers flowed around obscuring the view of whatever was happening, forming a shell of dust. When the dust fell a tall figure who wore a thick tattered cloak that hid his features. The most interesting thing of this figure were a book strapped to his side. The large book was thick with yellowed pages and a black cover. It was decorated with silver showing what appeared to be a skull with tentacles instead of a mouth. The figure walked to the window. Each step was a noticable as a patting sound as if the figure were bare each step his feet would be seen for moment. They were not feet but ridgy-veined pads.

As he neared his face became visible. It was an exceedingly ugly and misshapen face. Chinless, with a fuzzy and coarse dark brown beard to hide his lack of a chin, but it did so poorly. He had a long thin nose and leathery skin. Matted brown hair covered much of his face. He lifted his clawed fingers to the window seemingly looking right at Danzo. He dropped his tattered hood reveling more of the monstrous face that even Danzo turned away from. The man was goatlike in appearance, and though he lacked horns his long pointed ears were somewhat reminiscent of them.

"I know you watch me, I can smell you", spoke the beast.

A long Tail came from behind him and snaked around before turning to the mirror. It looked like a trunk or feeler with purple annular markings. It was tipped with what looked like an undeveloped mouth or throat. The tail moved round as if looking into the room Danzo stood.

"What are you", said Danzo to himself, sure the beast could not hear him.

However that hope faded as the creature smiled it's toothed and crooked smile.

"Who am I speaking to", asked the monster in a deep yet cracked voice.

Dazno's eye was wide as he looked at this thing before him. He swore the beast could see his every movement though the mirror should block it's view.

"My name is Danzo, Hokage of Konoha", said Dazno.

The creatures smile faded.

"Then we are not in Dunwich, pity"

"What is your name", asked Danzo.

Instead of answering the man grabbed the book strapped to his side. He undid the straps and lifted it with his clawed hand. He flipped through the torn and missing pages. Before stopping at one and looking at it.

"I think I shall take my leave", said the creature.

He spoke some alien language from the book causing pages to rip from the book and circle around him. As they did so his skin and cloak turned white like paper covered in the same strange markings as the ones in the book. He disintegrated into the twisted storm of papers and disappeared. All that was left was now the yellow paper on the ground.

Danzo turned to the others.

"Find him quickly, and bring me Naruto Uzmaki", said Danzo.

The ninja bowed before leaping away. Danzo turned back to view the room, the once pages were now blank and had burst into flames. The researcher left the room as soon as he walked out he fell to the ground yet his shadow continued to walk, and it walked right out of the wall and stood over him. It was the Shadowed man who stood over him. He pointed down at the unconscious researcher and he melted into a black mass that flowed toward the Shadowed man, and the researcher was no more.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were following the trail the clones had lead them to a seemingly abandoned building on the other side of the village. They searched through trying to find a secret entrance if one existed. Thus far they had no luck. Naruto hit the button on his radio.

"Find anything", asked Naruto.

"Nothing", replied Sakura Sakura.

"What about you Sasuke", asked Naruto.

"I'm not done, but nothing so far", said Sasuke.

They continued to search the building as they did Naruto felt as if he were being watched, but his eyes saw no sound. He ignored the feeling and continued to search.

Suddenly he heard the sound of pages in the wind. He turned around to see a cloaked figure holding a Necronomicon. The figure strapped the book to his side. Naruto created clones and surrounded the figure who seemed only partly interested by the presence of these clones.

"Where did you get a Necronomicon", asked Naruto.

The figure seemed intrigued by this. It lifted a clawed hand to it's beard as it observed Naruto. Naruto went to his radio and called Sasuke and Sakura to come.

"You know of this tome, is there another. If so then where is it", asked the figure.

"Answer me first, where did you get that.", said Naruto.

"It is a family heirloom, though it is missing pages. Do you have one", asked the figure.

"Maybe", said Naruto.

Only now did the figures features become seen in the dark, it was a horrid beast.

"What is your name, if you have one", asked Naruto.

The figure smiled as it looked at the clones surrounding it. It continued to stroke its bearded as it sized up Naruto, somehow knowing which was the real one. It reached for it's book but a kunai imbedded itself stopping the figure from even touching it.

"Don't even think about it", said Naruto.

"You asked me my name, perhaps I should tell someone who may know of me, and may possess a completed Necronomicon", said the figure as he removed the kunai from the book.

He examined the blade for a moment before turning back to Naruto and threw it at one of the clones causing it to dispel.

"Interesting, they are not very strong. But it is an interesting trick", said the figure.

He turned back to the real Naruto and smiled.

"My name is Wilbur Whateley, and I require a completed Necronomicon"
