The Red Flash Chapter 50 (An Uzumaki Alone) (Patreon)

"If you think this has a happy ending, then you weren't paying attention"

Killer Bee

He and his team were resting in the hotel, his Genin team was talking to each other, but mostly was Yu-Gi-To! who was talking, as Bee liked to call her sometimes, Samui had started the conversation by asking with who they were talking and why they were even talking with a Konoha shinobi in the first place.

The 'Friendship' if someone could even call it that between Kumo and Konoha was never good since the days of Hashirama Senju.

When Hashirama had captured Gyuki and Matatabi and gifted them to Kumo, The First Raikage had demanded that Instead of Matatabi, they should be given the Gobi,  but Hashirama had refused and gifted to Iwa instead.

Just the thought gave  Bee a small frown, in his mind, people needed to enjoy life instead of wasting their life on worthless things such as Greed and Power,  something he felt not that many people knew anymore.

After explaining to Samui about Mr nine, and miss Seven, Killer Bee had made sure to give both teams a warning.

"Don't fight him  without a plan, just the thought that he can use Kyuubi makes him a  strong opponent not mentioning that he has high Chakra level despite  being a kid"

Each one of them had nodded their heads in understanding while Yugito looked impatient, she looked to want to fight? Mister Nine as soon as possible.

Right now Yugito was busy saying that she couldn't wait to see what kind of challenges they will have in the Chunin Exams of Konoha. The others were wondering the same thing except one...

The boy in question had his eyes closed, his short straight dark-red hair, his hair were a  mixture of red and dark, but mostly dark, his eyes were a dark yellow,  but his right eye was strange, it had a strange crack in the middle of his eyeball, almost as if it was made of glass that went from the top to the bottom of his eyeball.

He had the word '赤'  (Red) written on the side of his neck in red, long red jacket that covered his upper body, black shirt underneath that held a secret blade,  in length he stood 1.88 meter, small face and a sharp nose, thin lips,  and a slightly pointy chin, underneath his shirt was a scar that went from his right shoulder down to his left leg.

Black Shinobi pants and dark sandals, in his right hand, he had a red ring with the word 'Light' written on it.

His name was ...

"Gitago what do you think?" Omoi suddenly asked the meditating man as Omoi loved to call him.

Hearing his name, he opened his left eye looking annoyed.

"About what?" He asked, his voice sounding low looking from Omoi to Samui but mostly to the blonde girl.

"He's talking about the  Uzumaki, he's asking what do you think? Do you think he could be a  problem?" Samui asked with a soft tone, crossing her arms under her chest as her eyes were looking at him.

Gitago wasn't sure why that even mattered, they would either win or lose, what was the point of bragging about whenever they would win or lose, as long as the enemy didn't try killing, he was fine with any other outcome.

Releasing a sigh,  annoyed that his friend didn't let him meditate. Standing up he looked down at Omoi, he slightly itched his left ear before responding.

"Personally I don't give a fuck, as long as he doesn't try to actually kill us then We are Cool"  he replied with his hands on his pocket, most of the people in the room sweet dropped at his response except Samui who fully expected it.

"Aren't you at least a little interested in the exams?" Yugito asked taking a step closer.

Gitago just shrugged his shoulders, "Not that I don't care, but I'm here because A-Sensei told me too if it were up to me. I would rather earn Chunnin rank by completing missions" he replied.

"Well, Yugito is a little...  excited for the Upcoming Chunin Exams" Samui stated with a teasing tone.

This earned a chuckle from everyone except Yugito. "You finally decided to find someone, cat face," Gitago said smiling.

"Be careful, Cats can be quite dangerous" Yugito responded with a small grin on her face, her nails growing on her hands, this caused Gitago to raise his hands.

"Now now. I said nothing, isn't that true Omoi" He said making Omoi raise his eyebrows,  why did he suddenly include him in his trouble.

"That's true but what if  She Actually Falls in Love with Him, But He Doesn't SHARE HER LOVE AND  THIS CAUSES YUGITO TO UNLEASH HER BIJUU FORCING THE UZUMAKI TO UNLEASH  KYUUBI RESULTING IN .... Aaahhhh" Omoi screamed rubbing his head in pain and glaring at Karui.

"None of That Will  Happen, Besides Naruto already likes me" Yugito replied with a small seductive smile and husky tone at the end. She remembered Naruto's eyes checking her body when he first saw her, just his blue eyes alone made her feel a small fire burning on her inner thighs.

Bee kept quiet as he remembered something that was slightly bothering him, something his brother told him before he left from Kumo.

'Bee made his way to an underground room, the stairs going down as far as the eye could see,  Bee had been here before and was because his brother had suggested for him to try and use one of the Weapons left by 'The Sage of The Six  Paths' since he had become a Perfect Jinchuuriki at the time and his brother wanted to know if that would allow him to use any of the weapons.

That went as well as expected, Bee had ended up in the hospital for a week, his chakra had gone crazy the moment he touched the first weapon and Gyuki had helped him since he stated that he would have ended up in the hospital for a  month if he wasn't there to help him.

Right now, he wasn't sure why his brother needed him. He hoped that he didn't have any other weapon for him to try and wield, but he highly doubted but he couldn't help but wonder, Why Now?

The Chunin exams were right around the corner.

Soon he reached the door and opened it, walking inside he saw his brother standing in the middle of a large room, the room was decorated with silver square ceramic tiles, around his brother stood five of the weapons sealed inside glass boxes, Bee knew their seals weren't the best but were good enough.

"Whaaaat Caaannn I dooo for Youuu Brother," Bee said rapping and moving his hands around like an idiot.

His big brother sighed in annoyance, no matter how many times he told him to stop rapping, his brother couldn't just shut up.

Deciding to just ignore it, for now, Ay gestured for Bee to follow him, this caused Bee to get confused but followed behind.

He wondered what could he be showing him, as far as he knew, his brother didn't hide anything else in this secret room except the weapons of The Sage.

"Maybe he wants you to clean this room, is not like you're needed for anything else" Gyuki suddenly said with a chuckle.

Bee was about to say how he was the most beautiful and strongest Shinobi to ever exist, it wasn't his job to clean anyone's room but walk inside the second room.

He saw in the middle of the room a glass box and inside was what he at first thought was a  summoning contract, but giving a second look. He wasn't exactly sure.

This scroll was one meter tall and was dark, the wood in the middle was decorated with to look like wings, and at the top was the head of a Phoenix, it looked to be decorated with gold and silver, the eyes of the Phoenix at the top were crimson red like blood. The letter was dark color with golden lines at the edges, tightened with a thin dark rope that looked made of a  material that Killer Bee had never seen before.

At first glance, the scroll looked completely normal but the strange feeling coming out made him feel wary, almost like he was expecting for the scroll to open itself and from it to come out a monster.

Even Ay kept a good distance from the strange scroll, he was sweating from his forehead and his right hand was slightly shaking. He gulped and turned his head at his brother who stood at the door and was looking ready to leave.

"Come here," A said with a tone that left no room for arguments.

Bee gulped and half-hesitated to listen to him and didn't help that Gyuki had fallen dead silent the moment they walked inside.

After a few moments of not moving, Bee walked closer, the feeling got stronger, Bee felt a  weight in his entire body, almost as if an elephant had stepped on him,  his entire body started sweating almost as if he had just fought a war all alone. He felt his chest tighten, almost as if he wasn't breathing enough air, a feeling of pain spread around his chest and his heart started hurting, every heartbeat felt like a stab wound inside his organs.

"Brother, what-t is-s this s-scroll," Bee asked not liking being here. His brother stayed silent and turned to look at the scroll.

"I ... don't know" he answered before he sighed and used his sleeve to whip the sweat from his forehead.

Ay stood silent for a moment deciding to get to the point.

"I'm s-sure you know about T-The Destruction of The U-Uzumaki Clan" A stated, Bee stood silent and waited for him to elaborate.

"This s-scroll was the only thing The Shinobis of Kumo were able to get from  U-Uzushiogakure, my father tried to use it but..." his voice was filled with a hint of dread.

"The scroll-ll was co-completely empty when he finally o-Opened it, no words written anywhere, he tried to w-write but the ink just disappeared almost as if it wasn't accepting it. My-y father then told a J-Jonin Shinobi to use  his blood hoping for something to c-change..." His brother stopped talking, his breath quickened.

Bee took a step back, the feeling, the pressure was too much to handle.

"What-t happened?" Bee asked almost not wanting to know, from his tone alone, Bee knew nothing good had happened.

"My f-father said that the J-Jonin that had tried w-w-was... burned alive from the i-inside, first after he wrote the n-name, the blood had started burning in crimson red fire, the J-Jonin had started screaming in agony a few seconds after he wrote his name, after a minute of screaming his skin had started turning dark like n-night, his eyeballs burned and his body was engulfed in red crimson flames. A-After five minutes of screaming,  the jonin finally died" A finished making Bee shake, his body started sweating even more.

He hoped that his brother hadn't brought him here to try and write his name at the dammed scroll, just standing five meters away from it was enough to make him sweat and feel as if whole elephants were stepping on him let alone actually coming close enough to open and write his stupid name on it.

Almost as if he could read his thoughts, A finally backed away and stood in the same distance as his brother.

"No, I don't want you to write your name on it" A stated, Bee released a sigh of relief he didn't know he was holding this whole time.

Then suddenly a question came to his mind. "Why didn't he destroy the scroll if he couldn't use it," Bee asked.

"He tried but the scroll couldn't be destroyed, they tried many different jutsus but nothing worked, the scroll just stayed in the same place as if nothing happened. Then my father took it as his responsibility to lock it here since everyone else fainted whenever they stood longer than a few minutes near the scroll... after putting the scroll inside the glass box. Father fell to the floor and was in a coma for a whole month, many thoughts that he wouldn't make it" His brother answered.

Bee then understand something that had bugged him for quite some time. "Is because of this  scroll that he tried to kidnap Kushina Uzumaki?" Bee asked with a hint of anger in his tone.

A's eyes narrowed slightly at the mention of the incident many years ago.

His father had hoped that An Uzumaki would be able to use the scroll and since the only one left alive was in Konoha, He needed her, not just for the scroll but to have the Uzumaki Bloodline in Kumo.

Of course, that plan had failed, A didn't answer but Bee knew now.

Bee now half-expected that this scroll could be one of the reasons that His brother send people to kidnap Hinata Hyuga, sure knowing the secrets of Byakugan, and having the bloodline in Kumo would be beneficial for the village but he wondered if his brother had hoped that Byakugan would be able to see anything hidden in the scroll that the naked eye couldn't see, he wanted to ask but didn't, he held his tongue.

"Why did you bring me here?" Bee asked with a neutral tone.

"I wanted you to ask Hachibi if he knew anything about this scroll" A said and turned to look at his brother.

Bee nodded his head  "Hey, Gyuki? You there, do you know anything about the devil scroll?"  Bee asked mentally but to his surprise, Gyuki stood silent.

Suddenly after a second, Bee was in his mindscape and Gyuki stood in front of him with a dreadful look.

Before Bee could ask what was the problem...

"Never. Try. To. Use. That. Scroll. Understood" '

Bee still remembered his tone, for the first time in Bee's life, his friend didn't sound confident, he sounded scared somehow.

After leaving that stupid place and finding a place to rest, Bee asked what was the problem but his friend had said the same thing, to never be foolish enough and use the scroll.

Right now, he wondered if giving the scroll to mister nine would be the right thing to do, sure he loved his country but is not like Kumo was getting anything beneficial from it, and perhaps the scroll belonged with an Uzumaki.

Naruto

He stood silent in the yard of his house, his godmother was inside making tea for Asha-chan and  Fuu-chan while Shizune was busy talking about how she had met Tsunade and similar things like that.

Naruto stood alone as he remembered the tears of his godmother, it had been on 25 January when he found out.

The first year his godmother had returned, on the 25 Jan, Naruto had noticed immediately the sadness coming from his godmother.

He had immediately gone into her room and found it-empty, walking outside, she had found her with flowers in her hand.

' "Baa-chan? What's wrong?" Naruto asked softly slowly walking towards her.

Her godmother stood in the same place, she was lying on the grass, as tears were rolling down her cheek. Naruto then felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned around to see Shizune looking at him with sadness.

"Leave her alone for  now" she whispered, Naruto wanted to refuse but the pleading look  Shizune gave him made him not talk and follow her inside.'

The same day, Shizune told Naruto that Tsunade had a child, but he was stillborn, the doctors said he lived only an hour.

Tsunade had made a small tombstone close to Senju Compound, she and Jiraiya visited the place every year. But one thing that caught Naruto by surprise was the grass and flowers that had grown around the tombstone looked fresh despite  Tsunade being sure that only she and Jiraiya knew about the place.

Naruto escaped his thoughts when he heard the door opening, he didn't turn around and felt a  hand on his shoulder, turning his head slightly, he was met with  Fuu-chan's face who was smiling cutely at him.

Naruto smiled back and turned his head to look towards the mountain.

Just the smile alone was enough to make his heart race, he felt a sensation on the middle of his body, his cheek turned red, not wanting her to see him a blushing mess,  he turned his face towards the Hokage mountain...

The sun was slowly disappearing behind the mountain, remembering that he promised they would see from the top when it was close to sunset.

"Fuu-chan, tell Asha-chan that this is the best time to see the dawn of the sun," Naruto said.

Fuu nodded in understanding and ran inside to call Ashara.

Outside came Ashara followed by Tsunade and Shizune.

Fuu and Ashara turned to them and bowed their heads at them.

"Thank you for having us," both of them said at the same time.

Tsunade just brushed it off and smiled kindly. "Don't worry just keep the idiot out of problems" She said with a smile.

They both nodded their head and followed Naruto to the mountain.

Seeing them leave, Tsunade looked at the place Naruto was and glanced at the necklace around her neck.

Softly touching it, she closed her eyes and wondered what the future would bring to them.

"Naruto sure does have good friends," Shizune said.

"Indeed he does"

"It reminds you of someone doesn't he?"

".........Yes"

Hokage Mountain

They soon reached the end and stopped and turned to look at the horizon in front of them, the sun had half descended under the horizon.

The light shining bright in front of them, Naruto sat at the ground, Fuu sat at his left and Ashara at his right.

The light illuminated the whole village giving it a shade of red, the trees around the village looked brighter and red. Red Leaves fall from the trees showing almost the end of Autumn.

Naruto felt a head resting on his left shoulder, he turned his head slightly to see Fuu resting her head on his shoulder.

"Is very beautiful  Naru-kun" Fuu said softly, Naruto didn't know why but he put his arm around her, placing her closer to him. Feeling her smooth skin under his hand send tingles around his entire body.

He then felt Ashara resting her head on his shoulder as well, her red hair shining from the light of the sun shining down at them.

Her hair covering his right shoulder, Naruto felt his hand touching her beautiful hair. Naruto always liked her red hair but right now, they looked to be shining,  like a red crystal in his eyes.

Ashara felt her cheek burn from the close contact with Naruto, the way his fingers were caressing her hair made her feel good and loved. A feeling she didn't ever want to disappear.

Fuu had her eyes closed and just enjoyed the feeling of having Naruto so close to her, his heartbeat in her ears was like a song, it was beating for her and  Ashara.

A smile showed on her face feeling at peace and loved in his arms, and she knew at that moment that she wanted to always have this feeling with Naruto.

The sun slowly disappeared, Naruto closed his eyes and imagined how it looked from  Uzushiogakure, did the surface of the sea around the island shined in red, he wondered and hoped that one day, he would be able to call that place 'Home'.

"This was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen Naruto, thank you for showing us" Fuu whispered softly, raising her head slightly, she leaned closer to his face and both she and Ashara kissed his cheek.

Naruto felt his whole face burn, but instead of hiding his face, he kissed them back in the cheek.

Soon they left the mountain and arrived in front of the hotel where Ashara and Fuu were staying.

"Naru-kun, I hope to meet as soon as possible" Fuu said smiling.

"Good night Naruto, don't forget that I want a rematch" Asha teased.

Naruto smiled back and nodded his head that he hadn't forgotten about it.

Karin

Karin ran through the trees as fast as possible, the strange ANBU squad following her behind.

A Kunai with a paper bomb suddenly exploded in front of her, sending her crashing against a  tree. Opening her eyes, she saw three Shinobi, wearing ANBU strange masks, ROOT written in their masks.

"You will come with us,  Danzo-sama has been looking for an Uzumaki for a long time now" One of them spoke with an emotionless voice. Instead of shaking in fear that now she was surrounded, Karin stood at her feet. Without Fear. A smile on her face.

"You're fools, you fell right into my trap. "Uzumaki Style: Chains of Blood" "

Before they could even move a muscle to stop her, several golden chakra chains came out from the ground, they tightened around their bodies.

At the moment they made contact, blue chakra started getting absorbed and went to Karin, her wound and bruises around her arms and legs healed almost immediately.

One of them escaped the chains, pulling out his sword he rushed towards the Uzumaki girl wanting to cut her open.

The chains disappeared and Karin used four chains from undersleeves and blocked his swing. The contact with the chains caused the sword to crack slightly around the blade part.

Jumping away, the chains around her sleeve started changing shape, if the ANBU was surprised, he hide it extremely well. The chains around her right arm changed and formed into a golden sword with a red handle.

Karin smirked, her red eyes glaring at the ANBU for daring to use an Uzumaki. Without a single hesitation, Karin unlocked a seal around her stomach, a Phoenix seal in her left wrist turned red, she felt the surge of power inside her and rushed at the ANBU with high Speed.
