Notes: You asked me to update soon? Here it is! Warning: Mentions of rape and torture in this chapter.

Chapter 4: BOOM!

Satsuki sat, tied up on an interrogation chair. She grimaced, her face sour. How in the hell did she even trust that blonde bastard? She should've known that he was Nariko's relative. The same blonde hair, same cerulean blue orbs, same happy-go-lucky attitude, and same will to bring her back to Konoha.

The Uchiha's face contorted in anger. 'And to think I was beginning to actually consider coming back here. That damned blonde bastard took my trust and used it against me.'

The young dark-haired beauty felt her eyes begin to water. She held back the tears, trying to keep up her stoic physique. She knew they were watching…

Outside the room, on the other side of a one-way window, Naruto and the rest of Team7 stood with Tsunade and Ibiki. The male Jinchuuriki eyed the interrogation expert, noting the fact he had an afro in this dimension. However, this Ibiki's brutal torture skills weren't any different than in Naruto's dimension.

"Satsuki-san refuses to give any information on Otogakure." Ibiki explained to the Godaime Hokage. "She won't talk to any of us at all, regardless of all the mental and physical torture we applied on her."

Nariko gasped. "What kind of physical torture? You haven't hurt her badly have you!?"

"Rest assured, Nariko-san, Satsuki-san is fine." Ibiki said. "None of the sexual torture devices normally used on females were brought out. We just flogged her with a whip then healed it up. No scars at all, just pain."

The blonde girl blanched as Ibiki mentioned sexual torture. "W-what!?"

"Nariko, its time for you to learn this." Tsunade put her hand on Nariko's shoulder. "Sometimes, sexual torture is required in order to get information. The shinobi world is darker than you think, Nariko. Females generally display our feelings and thoughts while males bottle them up. This, added to the fact that females are easily more sexually abused than males, makes us preferred interrogation subjects."

A few tears ran down Nariko's cheeks. She looked sadly at Satsuki's form on the chair. The blonde slowly walked towards the door and exited the room. Tsunade looked at Naruto, who was looking at the floor. He was clearly upset.

"Did you know about this information?" The Hokage asked him.

He nodded slowly. "Ero-sennin… Jiraiya told me about this. He said that if I was to become Hokage, I'd need to know how ninjas operate and gain information. Torture was the very first lesson. What I'm wondering though is why didn't this dimension's Jiraiya tell Nariko about this?"

Tsunade frowned slightly. "I don't know about Jiraiya in your world, but the Jiraiya in our world is a feminist. He can't bear to tell Nariko about the shinobi world's horrors. He said it might be too much for her to bear. Jiraiya thought that if he told her too early, she might quit being a shinobi."

"That's not right." Naruto said. "A shinobi sensei should tell their students about these things as fast as possible, so that they wouldn't have any troubles if they encounter situations like this on missions. That was what Ero-sennin, or Jiraiya as you call him, told me."

"You're a good boy, Naruto." Tsunade said, her eyes pervertedly scanning Naruto. The Jinchuuriki sweatdropped. He found it disturbing that the person he thought of as his surrogate mother was checking him out.

The male Jinchuuriki looked at the door Nariko exited. "I'm going to look for her."

"We'll help you, Naruto-kun." Haku offered. Sakura agreed.

"Arigatou Haku-chan, Sakura-chan." Naruto smiled at them from behind his mask. The Yuki Onne wannabe blushed. Sakura just nodded. The blonde looked at the other masked shinobi in the room. "What about you Kakashi-sensei?"

"NoyouguysgoaheadIgottatalktoTsunade-samaaboutsomething." Kakashi quickly said. The three Chuunin and Jounin nodded and left the room to look for their friend. The copy-cat ninja suddenly got serious and cool-headed, reminiscent of the Kakashi in Naruto's dimension. "Tsunade-sama, what if Nariko quits being a shinobi?"

The busty Hokage sighed. "There's nothing we can do about that Kakashi. Let's just hope Naruto talks some sense into her."

"Now where can she be?" Naruto asked as he jumped from rooftop to rooftop. The two girls trailed behind him, all of them looking for any sign of Nariko.

"How about we split up?" Sakura said. "We can cover more ground before sunset."

Naruto cursed as he noticed the sun slowly but surely disappearing over the horizon. "Kuso! Let's hurry!"

The villagers below looked up as three shinobi blurred off into three different directions.

Nariko sat on top of the Hokage monument, or more precisely, the Yondaime's head. The Jinchuuriki had been thinking over what Tsunade had told her. The blonde girl had figured if she could quit as a shinobi, she wouldn't have to endure those horrible things she learned about. But then Nariko realized that the rest of her shinobi friends would have to experience them. She sighed.

"Maybe I should go back. Everyone is probably worrying about me." Nariko said. Suddenly a trio of kunai came launching out of a nearby bush. The blonde Jinchuuriki quickly drew her own kunai and deflected them all. "Who's there!?"

Five chuckling figures walked out into the open. They were all Konoha shinobi, four Chuunin and a Jounin. They had kunai drawn and twisted grins on their faces.

"If it isn't the demon bitch. You're going to die here!" One Chuunin said before charging at her.

"As if!" The blonde shouted back.

Nariko, thinking on her feet, quickly summoned up several Kage Bunshin. She shunshin'd above the Chuunin as the clones surrounded the shinobi. They kicked him upwards towards Nariko's chakra-empowered foot.

"U-zu-ma-ki Nariko Rendan!" The foolish man slammed into the ground, twitching and unconscious.

Two more Chuunin roared as they jumped up to strike the blonde. Nariko summoned a pair of Kage Bunshin which began to swirl chakra in each of her hands. When they were finished, Nariko used the clones as platforms to propel herself towards the two shinobi attacking her. The clones poofed after that.

"Rasengan!" She shouted as she slammed both chakra orbs into the Chuunins' chests.

Naruto thought as he looked for Nariko. 'Now if I needed to think about something, where would I go…? The Hokage monument!'

And at that moment, Naruto felt a small chakra surge from the Yondaime's head.

"Found you!" Naruto said as he began to run towards the monument, using shunshins to lessen up time.

"Why you cheeky brat!" The fourth Chuunin said as he uncoiled a roll of ninja wire.

He threw kunai with the wire on them at her. Nariko couldn't move in midair fast enough. She was quickly tied up and was brought to the ground. The blonde let out an 'oof' as she was slammed into the dirt. The Chuunin swung the wires around, which brought Nariko with them. She hit a tree and more ninja wire wrapped around her and the tree. The Jounin calmly walked over to her and gripped her throat. Nariko growled venomously at them.

The Jounin smirked. "Finally we have you demon bitch. I think you've wondered why you weren't treated as bad as you should've. Wanna know why?"

Nariko responded by spitting in his face. The Jounin wiped the saliva off his cheek with his other hand then slapped the blonde as hard as he could. Nariko could taste blood in her mouth.

"I'll take that as a yes." He said. "It was because of the Sandaime. He always looked over you with that crystal ball of his, making sure no one ever touched you. And when he couldn't do that, he sent an ANBU team to follow you around. Now that he's gone and no one is around, we can do whatever the hell we want with you and no one will ever know."

The remaining Chuunin and the Jounin grinned pervertedly. Nariko looked in horror as the Jounin began to unzip his pants. Tsunade's talk about sexual torture suddenly flashed into her mind.

"Vixen! Quickly, summon my chakra!" Kyuu screamed in her mind. Nariko mentally agreed. This was an emergency.

Red chakra began to seep around the blonde girl's pores. Her eyes became red and slitted, her whisker marks began to deepen and thicken, and she grew fangs. The Jounin cried in pain as the chakra burned his hand around her neck. The Chuunin gasped as the chakra snapped the ninja wire. Nariko growled. The two shinobi stepped back in fear.

"I'll make sure no one, not my friends nor myself are never subjugated to any kind of abuse from now on. This is part of my pact to protect my precious people." Nariko said, crouching down and flexing her long claws. "I will not be a victim to these beatings anymore! I WILL NOT ALLOW IT!"

She seal-lessly summoned a pair of Kage Bunshin as went on the attack. The Jounin tried his best to dodge the clones, but his Chuunin accomplice was immediately a victim to the speed of Nariko's Kyuu-induced clones.

"Dammit!" The Jounin said. He quickly ran through handseals as he threw a few kunai. "Kunai Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

The kunai multiplied and shredded through the Kage Bunshin. Nariko, still in a cloak of red chakra, crossed her arms in front of her in order to block the kunai. But instead of feeling kunai 

going into her skin, she heard the clang of kunai against each other. She looked over her arms and found Naruto standing with a kunai of his own. He had deflected the cloned knives.

"What were you trying to do to Nariko-chan?" Naruto said as he ground his teeth together. "You bastard…"

Red chakra of his own seeped out of Naruto. The blonde pulled down his mask to reveal his deepened whisker marks and large fangs. Naruto's eyes glowed an ominous crimson. Nariko stood beside him, grinning foxily. The Jounin staggered back.

"T-t-there are two of them!" He sputtered. He stood at the edge of the Yondaime's head. The male Jinchuuriki held out his hand. Nariko nodded and began to mold her chakra into a sphere on it. Naruto used his other hand to add and swirl chakra as well. The end result was a giant purple orb of mixed human and demonic chakra.

"Let's go!" The two blondes said in unison as they ran towards the stunned Jounin.

At that moment, the sun seemed to set behind the Yondaime's head, framing the two Jinchuuriki with a golden glow. The Jounin's eyes widened. He, as a child, had looked up to the Yondaime, Minato. The Jounin knew of the blonde Hokage and his red-haired wife, Kushina. He gasped as a ghostly vision of Minato and Kushina overlapped the images of Naruto and Nariko. And it seemed that the Jounin heard four voices at that moment.

"Oodama Rasengan!"

BOOM!

Tsunade and Jiraiya looked out the window of the Hokage's office. A beam of red and blue light sprouted from the top of the Yondaime's head on the Hokage monument. The beam launched straight up into the sky, and with a golden sunset right behind it, framing it. They grinned at the beautiful sight, reminiscing of the past.

Ino stopped making kunai for a second to look out the window. She saw the lights on the Yondaime's head.

"Sugoi…" She whispered. Shikamaru and Chouji, who were watching her, looked outside as well.

"Menkudose." Chouji said as he ate a chip. Shikamaru nodded silently.

"You just have to confess to her Kiba-kun." Hinata said as she adjusted her ridiculously tight shirt. They had just finished training and were heading back to the clan districts.

"B-b-but she's with Naruto. W-w-what if she likes him?" The Inuzuka stuttered. Shino was talking about other subjects relating to Godzilla. The other two ignored him as usual.

"Then I'll take Naruto away from Nariko for you." Hinata smirked. Suddenly the person in front of her stopped and she bumped into him. "Hey! Watch… Woah…"

She looked up at the Hokage monument. Kiba and Shino, who stopped talking in awe, stared silently at the beam of light.

Team Gai was at their training grounds. They had stopped and looked up at the mix of colors coming from on top of the Hokage monument.

They were silent as the light glowed brightly with the sunset behind it. Tenten blinked as she twirled one of her braids. She suddenly took out a scroll and unsealed the item inside. It was a camera.

Click!

Satsuki stepped out of the interrogation center, having just fought her way out. She had conspicuously cut the wire binding her to the chair with chakra and killed her interrogators. She looked up at the beam of light reaching into the heavens and scowled. The Uchiha jumped onto a nearby rooftop and speeded towards the village gates.

Kinda short, but I need the extra room for next chapter. Review please! Ja ne!
