Chapter 40: Miracles
Naruto swung his fist up as it dragged through the ground. It struck Pickle hard enough to make him stand on his feet. Pickle landed a wild haymaker on Naruto's jaw and the clash of both punches shook them intensely. They both pulled back their fists as they punched each other again. Naruto swung around his leg to strike Pickle in the knee, but Pickle jumped into the air and made a dangle punch across Naruto's chest. Naruto took the attack as he did the same to Pickle. But all the while this was going on, Suigestu was crawling away in fear while Kisame watched in fascination "This is something... two preditors... two wild animals, fighting each other. But something's different... what is it?" Kisame whispered as he heard the sounds of battle from both Naruto and Pickle, and Itachi and Sasuke. Lightning and fire flew through the clouds in the sky as the punches Pickle and Naruto made seemed to match the sounds above them. Kisame then saw Naruto jump into the air and kicked Pickle in the face. Pickle grabbed both Naruto's legs and slammed him into the ground. As he slammed against the ground, Naruto did a crunch and pulled himself up to punch Pickle in the nose. Pickle let go of Naruto as the ladder bent forward and a solid fist and slammed it into Pickles' jaw. Pickle took a step back as he held his jaw. But the thing that surprised everyone was the faces they were making "W-why are they like that?" Karin asked
"I think I know what was missing from this fight," Kisame said as he hit himself, "how could've I been so stupid?"
"I-I think I know what's going on," Jugo said
"Well please tell us!" Suigetsu shouted as Naruto and Pickle walked toward each other
"When two animals go at each other like this, they are simply doing no harm to each other. It's sport, nothing more, nothing less. It's rare in the wild... but very common among the young," Jugo explained as Naruto and Pickle exchange punches again
"The fact that I can't sense it proves what hat kid is saying," Kisame whispered, "there's no bloodlust,"
"They're just roughhousing," Jugo said as he took a sigh of relief
"E-fucking-scuse me!?" Suigestu asked as a loud bang was heard behind him. Suigestu turned around to see Naruto and Pickle rolling on the ground, trying to get a good grab onto each other. Soon, Pickle managed to grab Naruto from behind his neck and plan him into the ground. Naruto grabbed Pickle by his abdomen with his legs and turned his body over. Naruto was on top of Pickle while the ladder was on his back. Naruto was sitting on top of Pickle with smiles on both their faces "H-how long can this go for?" Karin asked as Jugo shrugged
"I've got no idea... I guess until one of them admits defeat. They're not going to kill each other, so the person who kills the other would be the loser," Jugo said
"S-so you're telling me that this is going to be awhile?" Suigestu asked
"Could end in the next few minutes, could be hours... maybe the whole day,"
"Son of a bitch,"
"This just went from exciting to just interesting... yet seeing them is getting my blood pumping," Kisame said as Samehada wiggled in his hands, "no, I'm not going to fight the big one. I can't sense any chakra from him. Hate to say it, but you'd be useless,". As everyone continued to watch as Pickle curled up into a ball with Naruto in the center and rolled around until blood spilled onto the ground. The ball of flesh and muscle stopped as Naruto jumped out onto his feet and was holding his shoulder. Pickle was on the ground with something in his mouth. The sound of meat hitting dirt was heard as blood was on Pickles' lips. Naruto's smile was still on his face as it slowly grew bigger and bigger. Karin, Jugo, Suigestu, and even Kisame were wide-eyed as they saw what was on the ground. A chunk of Naruto's shoulder on the ground ground. Pickle looked down at the piece of meat and back up at Naruto. He then looked down at the piece of Naruto in front of him as he looked at it. There was a strange mark on it as he saw Naruto giggling. He then started to cry as he reeled his head back with a smile on his face and tears running down it 'Did I hurt him? Is he alright? He's crying, but he's smiling... did I do something?' Pickle thought as he saw something forming behind Naruto. Pickles eyes went wide as he saw it forming in the air.
Something he hadn't seen since him... the one who rivaled his pure strength. The one who would be the perfect meal. The one who didn't go down. The one who sent fear into him since he was a child. He remembers the image of the one with light-colored hair. The one he ate the face of.
The monster he saw was now forming behind Naruto who's voice echoed through the sky. The lighting that cracked from the clouds had nothing on Naruto's crying laugher. Pickle was shaking in fear as this monster grew larger and larger to the point that, if compared to something that he had fought, would be the size of the dinosaurs he had eaten. Naruto then gained the red cloak that Kyubi had gifted him as the wound Pickle had inflicted slowly started to heal. A large scar was left of Pickle's attack as Naruto looked down at it. Slowly calming down, Naruto looked at Pickle and slowly walked toward him. Pickle took a step back as the giant monster he was seeing was two... three... four times the size of the dinosaurs he had fought. But it slowly started to vanish as Naruto wrapped his arms around Pickle. Pickle was surprised by this as he had no idea what to do 'I hurt him. But he's showing affection. Didn't I do something bad when we were playing?' Pickle thought as Naruto stopped the hug and took a few steps back and bowed
"Thank-you," Naruto said as Pickle looked at him in confusion, "thank-you... for bringing back something I had lost,"
'What's going on? Why is he bowing?' Pickle asked himself as Naruto smiled
"Accidents happen, and this is a very happy accident," Naruto said as he rubbed his hands, "let's see if this still works,"
"What's he gonna do?" Suigestu asked
"You've got as much as an idea as me," Karin said as she was still hiding behind Jugo. Naruto took a deep breath as he crossed his fingers and said: "Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Back In Konoha:
Sakura was sitting with Kiba while Kureha was looking at their casts "Alright, those look good. But I think I should change the cast," Kureha said as Sakura took a deep breath
"A-alright... Kami, what will my mother say when she sees my stub?" Sakura asked as Kiba scoffed
"You'll just get your ass spanked, I'll be cleaning the dog kennels for months with only a hand," Kiba said as Kureha placed their casts together and broke them with a punch. Sakura and Kiba looked astonished at this as in the rubble of the castings, were their hands "W-what the hell?!" Sakura shouted
"I-I thought we lost our hands!" Kiba said
"Don't move them too much, you need at least 2 more weeks to heal," Kureha said as he brought over two buckets, "now place your hands in here,"
"H-how did you do this?" Sakura asked
"I simply reattached your bones, blood vessels, and skin. Slowly stitching them together with a microscope and needle," Kureha explained as Kiba and Sakura put their hands in the buckets
"Wow,"
"It was just a simple clean cut. Like piano wire. I've dealt with wounds like that,"
"Damn, you must've seen some shit in that Prison, huh?" Kiba asked
"Oh yes, I have! Especially from Naruto," Kureha said
"W-what was Naruto like... in prison?" Sakura asked as he froze. Kureha looked at her as he leaned back in his chair and said: "He was a man stuck in a child's body, that would be the best way to describe him,"
"What?" Kiba and Sakura asked
"Ever since that day... the day Minako was conceived. Naruto was something out of a story,"
"How so?" Sakura asked
"Let's just say, there were days, weeks even, that he wouldn't come out of his cell. One time I had to put him on an IV drop because he refused to eat," Kureha said as Sakura was saddened by this
"I see,"
"Well, that's what happens when people are raped. Their whole entire attitude changes." said a voice as Kiba and Sakura turned around to see Ino
"Ino?! What are you doing here?!" Sakura asked
"I was looking for Minako and Mirai so they'd apologize to you, but since we're talking about Naruto... I think this is a battle of mental health," Ino said
"Excuse me?" Kureha asked
"You heard me. Victims of rape usually suffer from PTSD... the way we found Hinata explains as such. And from what Hinata told us when she woke up, I think he's suffering from more than PTSD," Ino explained
"So what do you want to do? Find him and evaluate him?" Kiba asked
"Looks like your not all brawn, dog breath," Ino said as he scoffed
"Good luck, you've seen what's happened. Lee died, Hinata was the victim of a panic attack, next thing you know my face is gonna get eaten!" Kiba shouted as Kureha tapped Kiba on the nose with his pencil
"Don't move,"
"So how long are you going to be here?" Ino asked
"They're going to be here for the next hour,"
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"
