Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Now this chapter is shorter than the usual length I write, but this chapters mainly filler setting up for the coming chapters, so I hope you all still enjoy it. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
After Naruto had fully claimed Satsuki and Yakumo as his fledglings and his mates, he had sent them off to their homes to seal away all of their belongings. Along with Satsuki slipping into Danzō's secret ROOT facility to take back everything that he stole from her clan after the Massacre.
Though they weren't going to kill Danzō yet, they wanted him to suffer first, to watch as the village he loved, and wished to be the strongest, was destroyed before his very eyes. And then, when they've ripped away everything he cares about and let him know it was his actions, along with those of his own sensei, that caused it, then they will kill Danzō Shimura.
Naruto, himself, was sealing away all his possession in his underground castle, including all the books in the library. He had also sent out dozens of his bats into Konoha, planting Explosive Tags in key locations, such as the Academy, Anbu Headquarters, Clan Compounds, and the Hospital. This way, when they leave Konoha, they won't have to worry about being followed, as the Ninja will be too busy with saving the civilians from the destruction he'll cause.
It wasn't long until Satsuki and Yakumo returned, the latter having a large smile on her face. The reason being she had just learned that Kurenai had been turned into a Ghoul by Asuma, before both were put down by the Hokage when they broke out of her apartment and started killing people.
Yakumo had practically skipped all the way back to the castle, unable to contain her joy at learning the bitch was finally dead, torn apart by the reanimated corpse of her lover! Her only regret was she didn't get to be there to see the pain and despair in Kurenai's eyes as she was ripped to shreds. But she can live with the fact that Kurenai's last moments were spent in agony and sorrow.
Both of the new Vampires had also been pleased to learn that Ghoul Tenzō was able to kill several Anbu after being sent to the Anbu Base, who in turn became Ghouls, before they were finally stopped and put down.
"Let's go." Naruto said, leading them through the underground tunnels out of Konoha.
"So, where are we going?" Satsuki asked.
"We're going to the ruins of Uzushiogakure, where I will then turn it into my domain to insure that no one tries entering, and if anyone is foolish enough to try, then they won't live to regret it. After that, we'll be dealing with any villages or enemies that might try attacking Konoha, after my going away present turns most of it into burning ruins." Naruto said smirking, while Satsuki and Yakumo frowned in confusion.
"But wouldn't that be good, if they attacked Konoha and saved us the trouble?" Yakumo asked, only to stop when Naruto looked at them.
"Perhaps, but you forget my dear Yakumo-chan. Only I will have the privilege of destroying Konoha, no one else will take that from me. And anyone that tries, I will make sure their final moments are spent screaming for my nonexistent mercy as I break their mind, their spirit, and their body, before having them ripped apart by the reanimated corpses of their loved ones." Naruto said smiling sinisterly, with Satsuki and Yakumo shivering in pleasure at his darkness.
"Ri-right, sorry." Yakumo said, before blushing lightly when Naruto cupped her chin and kissed her.
"Neither of you need to apologize for anything, it's only natural for you to question my decisions, when you don't know the reasons behind them. So, don't apologize for speaking your minds to me." Naruto said, smiling at his mates, making them nod and smile at him.
It's part of why Naruto chose them to be his allies and mates, they wouldn't just follow him blindly, they would question him, challenge him, and that's what he desired in his mates; strength to stand beside him, rather than behind.
With that the three continued down the tunnels, Naruto smirking the entire time as he knew Konoha would become aware of his parting gift any minute now.
*With Minato*
'And things just keep getting worse by the minute.' Minato thought, sitting in his office rubbing his temples at the migraine he was feeling at the moment.
Not even an hour ago, he had gotten word of two Ghouls attacking and killing people in the streets, when Minato arrived, he was shocked to see the Ghouls were Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yūhi. Acting quickly Minato killed the Ghouls, before burning the bodies, only to get more bad news that there were Ghouls in the Anbu Base.
When he arrived, all the Ghouls were thankfully killed and the bodies burned, but there nearly two dozen, meaning they lost almost two dozen Anbu. To make matters worse, the Ghoul that started it was Tenzō, the Wood Style Anbu.
So, not only has he lost two of his strongest Jōnin and nearly two dozen Anbu, but he's also lost the only Ninja capable of using the Wood Style Jutsu, and one less way to suppress the Kyūbi's should Rei or Arashi lose control.
'What else could go wrong?!' Minato thought.
As if to answer his question, several loud explosions went off, shaking the village.
Minato immediately turned to the window, only for his eyes to widen in shock and horror to see explosions going off around the village.
Quickly, Minato Hiraishined to the roof of the Hokage's Tower to begin giving out orders. Only when he appeared on the roof, Minato saw a stranger leaning against the railing and looking out over Konoha as it burned.
"Aah, quite lovely isn't it, the smell of burning homes and flesh, the screams of fear and horror. Such a beautiful sight, wouldn't you agree Yondaime." The stranger said, turning and showing Naruto, or rather a Bat Clone of him, with a Transformation to hide his Whisker-Marks, which would be a dead giveaway of who he is.
Given the only people having such Whisker-Marks were Naruto and his siblings.
"You?! Are you the one who did this?!" Minato demanded, while sensing several Anbu appear behind him
"Hmhmhm, guilty as charged. I also believe I am who you have been searching for, the one people have taken to calling "The Impaler". But that is merely a title, my true name, is Dracula, Count Dracula. A pleasure." Said Dracula, with a short mock bow, while Minato grit his teeth and glared at him.
"So, you're The Impaler. Now what's stopping me from killing you, right now?" Minato said, while pulling out a Hiraishin Kunai.
"Well, there's the fact that I'm nothing but a clone, sent here to deliver you a message." Dracula said smirking, with Minato growling in anger that this was just a clone, meaning the real Impaler was likely long gone by now.
"And what message is that?" Minato demanded, while signaling the Anbu to go help the villagers, since this likely wouldn't end in a fight and it's be better to save as many people as they can.
"Simple, this attack by me will weaken Konoha significantly, enough that your enemies may see it as a chance to attack. Do not worry, I will not allow this happen, I'll insure that all of Konoha's enemies will have their own problems to deal with, so they won't even consider attacking." Dracula answered, before chuckling darkly.
"But don't think this is out of some misplaced sense of mercy, since I have none. I am merely insuring that no one destroys Konoha, because that right belongs to me alone. This is my message to you Yondaime Hokage, be prepared. Prepare yourself, prepare your forces, prepare your weapons, be prepared. For the day that Count Dracula returns, will be the last day Konoha exists in this world. Farewell, Yondaime Hokage." Dracula said, before vanishing in a swirl of bats all, while his sinister laughter echoed in Minato's ears.
The moment Minato heard Dracula's words, he felt dread wash over him as he realized that this attack was another message from Dracula. A message telling Minato, that he could have just as easily destroyed the entire village, but he didn't. This was just a diversion to allow him to slip away. While the message delivered by the clone, that was clear as day.
As of this moment, Konoha was on life support and Dracula's hand is reaching for the plug, unless Minato thought of a way to stop him.
Though for now, Minato had to help rescue anyone that could be saved. After that, he'll have to start strengthening his forces, getting more Genin trained, and strengthening himself, because he did have to prepare for when Dracula returned.
*Later*
*With Naruto, Satsuki, and Yakumo*
Naruto and his mates stood on a cliff, looking over the ruins of Uzushiogakure, the streets lined with dozens of skeletons of Uzu Ninja, civilians, Iwa Ninja, Kumo Ninja, and Kiri Ninja. The buildings were in ruins and overgrown with vines, trees, and bushes.
"This doesn't really seem like a good base to use Naruto-kun, everything is in ruins and I doubt there's anything here we can use. The only good thing I can see is it'd be unlikely anyone would come here." Satsuki said, frowning as she looked around.
"Patience Satsuki-chan, I haven't begun transforming the land yet to better suit our needs." Naruto said, as he became surrounded in a black and red aura of Dark Magic.
Then to Satsuki and Yakumo's shock and amazement, Naruto's power exploded off of him, spreading out through the entire island nation, the ocean, and the sky. Before their eyes, black swirling storm clouds appeared overhead, releasing thunder and lightning, the sea transformed from water into an ocean of blood going as far as the mainland, while the massive whirlpools around the island increased in size, along with giant jagged rocks shooting up out of the ocean of blood.
They watched as the landscape transformed with large jagged rocks forming, the trees wilting to turn dead, grey, and twisted, any animals they could see cried out before their bodies began transforming into demonic and monstrous versions of themselves. The building began repair themselves and also transforming into dark and twisted versions. The girls were shocked further when all the skeletons suddenly stood up with glowing, haunting red eyes.
Finally, the ground beneath them began rumbling before rising up around them, with Satsuki and Yakumo stuck close as they saw that they were now standing on a tower. Once the shaking stopped, the girls looked over the edge and were amazed to see they were now standing on top of a massive castle.
'Wow.' They thought, amazed at seeing what Naruto had done, neither truly knowing the full extent of Naruto's power.
"This is no longer Uzushiogakure, from now this island is the domain, of DRACULA!" Naruto declared, as the demonic creatures and resurrected skeletons roared to their new master.
So, what did you think, good. Yep Naruto, Satsuki, and Yakumo have now left Konoha after taking everything that belongs to them, along with Naruto leaving behind a very special gift for Konoha and making his debut as Count Dracula and delivering a sinister warning to Minato of what's to come. Then Naruto transformed Uzushiogakure into his personal kingdom while resurrecting all the skeletons of those who died there as his personal army along with transforming the animals, and the land itself. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
Storm out
