The reactions to Naruto's return were, well, quite various to say the least. Some whispered, some cried, some smirked, and some, well. . .

"You son of a bitch!" Tenten screamed angrily as she jumped in the air, a rather large ball on a chain with spikes littering it in her hands as she swung it down on Naruto, who easily sidestepped it. "You were alive this whole time," She shouted again, throwing multiple kunai at him, which again, he easily dodged. "And you didn't tell us?" She was angry, rightfully so. 

She pulled out a katana and swung it over her head, intending on hitting Naruto's shoulder, but he caught the blade in mid-air, it cutting his palm as blood seeped out of the wound. 

"Don't assume you know what happened to me," Naruto said dangerously, meeting Tenten's brown eyes which widened in shock at the teen's tone. "Put your weapons away, now." He commanded as he let go of the katana, shaking his hand a bit before dropping onto the platform, leaving a shocked Tenten with her sword in the same place it was when Naruto caught it. 

"Yes, I'm alive. Though I was quite dead about a month ago, but now, I am not. Let me just say this, before any of you have any ideas," Naruto turned to face everybody. "I am not the boy you used to know, the old Naruto Hatake is dead, replaced by the new one that sees the world for what it truly is." 

"And what? Your plan is to fix the world? To stop wars and combine all the villages?" Naruto laughed, but it wasn't one of humor. It was one of slight insanity. 

"No, I could care less if this world burned to the ground." He said darkly. "The only thing I care about is destroying Fugaku Uchiha, the source of my eternal suffering." 

"And what has Fugaku done to you to cause your so-called "eternal suffering" hm?" Kiba asked sarcastically. "Believe it or not, but we all suffered from that bastard," Naruto smirked. 

"But I doubt you've suffered as much as I." He began, ready to explain but was interrupted by Tenten, who had finally regained her composure. 

"How so? You haven't had to deal with him the last four years Naruto! We have! We watched as the Hokage was murdered! Children were killed! How have you suffered more than any of us? If anything, you suffered less!" 

"When Fugaku Uchiha enslaves you in a genjutsu that you can't stop, forces you to kill many different people, including children, and then forces you to kill your grandfather figure, or when he sends his best Uchiha to kill you after you just finished fighting a complete Tailed Beast, and then his fucking son comes out of nowhere and they slowly overpower you, until they stab you more than ten times everywhere on your body and almost cut your eye out and continue to throw you off the edge of a cliff, for dead. But that's not the worst part, that man, no, demon, is the reason my DAUGHTER IS FUCKING DEAD! SO DON'T YOU DARE ACT AS IF I HAVEN'T SUFFERED!" 

"I've been in a dream for four years, I was actually happy, and didn't remember a single thing! I was Kioku of Stone, next in line for Tsuchikage! I had a daughter! Friends! Actual family! And Fugaku took all that away from me! All of it!" He screamed. He was breathing hard at the end of his little speech until he regained his composure. 

"THAT is why I will be killing Fugaku. THAT is why I am going to destroy the Uchiha, THAT is why I am doing what I am doing!" Kurenai, who was crying tears of happiness until a few moments ago, looked at Naruto sadly. 

"They say when seeking revenge, you must dig two graves." Naruto's eyes widened as a scary grin came across his face. 

"Why only two? I'm going to dig thousands! I don't care if I die! I didn't care when Shisui and Itachi tried to kill me, I didn't care when I tried to jump off that cliff, and I definitely do not care now!" He was laughing a little bit. "If it means getting my revenge and making that bastard pay, I'll kill myself and anyone who-" He was cut off as a loud smack echoed through the old Root base. 

A hand was on his whiskered face, and he looked at the person who had slapped him with surprise. 

It was Haku. 

She had tears running freely down her cheeks as she looked at Naruto, nothing in her eyes but utter disappointment. 

"Naruto-kun, no. No, you're not Naruto-kun anymore. You're a different person." She whispered. "I was happy when I saw you here, I knew you were alive the moment I saw you as Kioku, but I held my tongue because it wasn't you. I helped you when Fugaku imprisoned and tortured you, and I helped take down the Uchiha guards without your knowledge. And now, I'm wondering if I made the right decision. The Naruto I knew is still in there, under all the pain and all that rage you have built in your stomach, I know that you're better than this. So when I see you like this, all it really does is make me really sad." 

"I," He began, a light in his eyes now shown, before it suddenly was smothered, replaced by the unforgiving sea of black that was now his eye color. "I don't care what you think or feel, Haku." He said as if he hadn't just destroyed the girl's heart in front of him. He smirked as he walked past the practically frozen Haku and made a single hand signal with his right hand, and a loud explosion rippled through the air, the ground under their feet vibrating. 

"What the hell was that?!" Neji asked, and Naruto began laughing. 

"Those were the paper bombs I ordered my soldiers to put all around and in the Uchiha compound, anyone who doesn't know Izanagi, which I doubt any of them do, then everyone in that compound is dead." Sakura's eyes widened in horror. 

"There were children! Babies! They were innocent!" She cried out. Everyone else had looks of alarm planted on their faces. Naruto glanced at Sakura, and Sakura felt the cold grasp of death clutch her heart as he face went deathly pale. 

"Does it look like I care?" He said coldly. "All Uchiha are trash." He said, before turning around. 

"Naruto!" Kakashi shouted. "Your mother was an Uchiha! How dare you disrespect her?" Naruto rolled his eyes. 

"I haven't met her, and you definitely haven't told me anything about her. The most I know about her is what Zetsu told me, and that was pretty vague, to be honest." He explained. "Now, we have the element of surprise on our hands, who wants to kill and defeat the Uchiha once and for all and take back our village?!" He shouted, a grin on his face as he looked at everyone. 

To his dismay though, no one moved a muscle. 

"Naruto-nii, what you just did, it's no better than what Fugaku did to gramps. . ." Konohamaru said quietly. Naruto's face twisted in a rage as he looked at everyone. 

"You're not going to help me?!" He shouted. "Heh, so this is what betrayal looks like. . ." He said bitterly. "Fine, I'll do it myself. ROOT!" He shouted, and the whole room was suddenly filled with many different sized Anbu, each one having a blank mask on. "Zetsu," He said in a normal toned voice. A man made of pure white sprouted from the ground next to Naruto, having light green eyes and slightly darker green hair. 

"Yes, Naruto?" A dark glint in Naruto's eyes unsettled everyone in the room besides Naruto miniature army.

"I need more men, you can provide that right?" Zetsu grinned. 

"Right away," And with that, he sunk into the ground. Naruto turned around, unbuttoning his black cloak and letting it fall to the ground unceremoniously, revealing an all grey attire. 

"Well, I have a war to win and a lot of eyes to steal. Stay down here," He began walking away, but a large hand grasped him by his shoulder roughly. He turned his head and saw Asuma glaring at him. 

"What you're talking about is nothing short of genocide, Naruto. No matter how much I detest Fugaku for overthrowing and killing my father, I cannot allow you to kill an entire clan." Naruto laughed. 

"You act as if you can stop me, I'm not that brat in Wave all those years ago you could throw around like a rag doll, not to toot my own horn, but I'm a Kage Level shinobi as of right now. The only person in this room who has an actual chance of beating me," He gestured towards Guy. "Is him, and that's only if he has all Eight Gates open." 

"You've grown a lot, I'll admit. But you're arrogance has grown throughout your entire body." Naruto sighed and Asuma suddenly found himself pinned to the ground, Naruto holding him down with one foot on his back, his hand covered with lightning, it being pointed at Asuma. 

"Naruto!" Kurenai shouted, obviously distressed. 

"Fuck off, just cause you ride his dick doesn't mean I'll spare him if he gets in my way." 

"Naruto! Stop this madness!" Kakashi shouted. "This isn't you!" Naruto laughed, covered his face with his hand as he laughed madly, causing everyone in proximity to back away. 

"Madness? Madness? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE TERM FATHER!" He stomped on Asuma one good time on the back, causing a loud crack to echo throughout the room before he began walking away towards the exit. 

"But you'll know soon, oh mark my words you'll know soon." He cackled madly before he disappeared from their sights. 

Outside of the bases, Naruto grinned as he saw the inner conflict of Konoha, several clones of Zetsu and Root Anbu fighting various ninja loyal to the Uchiha. 

"Fugaaaaaakkkuuuuuu! Where are you?!" Naruto shouted, his eyes wide with madness. 

The Uchiha Clan Curse of Hatred had taken hold of Naruto, and the grip was tight. 

And it had no intention of letting go. 

How was it? Good? Bad? Telll meeeeeeeeee! Please! For the love of God/Me please! 

Anyways, we're in the ENDGAME now. Four to Five Chappies left. I'm excited. 

Big finale is most likely next chappie. 

Til next time my lil demons!
