Naruto: Uzumaki Yuji [EN]

Chapter 36: Chapter 036 - Queen of curses.



At the moment of his fainting, he saw that he fell straight into his space, those boxes with multiple eyes held him before impacting directly on the ground that is the very sky.

But he has noticed a change, his soul space has darkened, and now instead of seeing an illuminated sky.

It has come together, as if night were beginning to fall, small stars appearing, Yūji looked at everything without any expression, he was not worried that Sukuna would come out, since he has kept him locked up as little as he can, he has to faint in body and soul so that Sukuna can come out.

" It was fun "

Hearing him made his face frown, being in that separated position, he saw how Sukuna was sitting in the sea of blood, he did not really seem interested now, a smile as if what he had done were something so simple

" did you enjoy my gift? "

He clenched his teeth upon hearing it, again the tears began to come out, betraying him

" She kept screaming 'Yūji, wake up!' I had never heard her scream so much, it was irritating, so I killed her, I'm sure she felt special, she died like the honorable Gojo Satoru, hahaha! " he laughed as if what he commented were a joke

" Shut up! I-I don't want to listen to you! She's still alive! She's going to fulfill her dream! What I saw doesn't exist, nothing of what you did exists, she... is still well " With despair Yūji covered his ears and closed his eyes tightly, those moans of pain bursting from him.

Sukuna looked at him, having to turn around a little, his smile tilted, in the end he got up and walked to the shore where their consciences separated, not being able to cross over because of those damned eyes " It would be worse if you couldn't stop me, but the heroic Yūji always arrives at the best time! That is to say, that his destiny was to die at my hands... it brought me beautiful memories, a place of devastation, with death and the scorched humans, it was delicious " he closed his eyes to imagine once again his time outside with Yūji's body, although he was only experimenting. He really did not fight seriously with those ninjas, it was just a moment, because he knew that Yūji would not take long to come out of those sweet dreams that he himself instigated.

That felt good.

" Shut up... don't say anything else, shut up... nothing happened, Suiren is still alive, she is still alive " Yūji, by keeping his eyes closed, did not realize that from the place where he was, all around, the cursed energy began to go wild, those heart-rending sounds as if the souls of everything that had been committed were there, swaying from one side to the other.

Sukuna found him amusing " ah, Who would have thought you would care so much about that brat? Not even to Nobara did you beg her to stay when you thought she died at the hands of that blue curse, well, if you try to assimilate it like that, I wonder... what will happen " while he began to walk away to the depths of his consciousness, Sukuna turning his back to Yūji who ignored him, barely he whispered in the air, something important that Yūji did not hear.

" Will you still love her in the form she may appear? "

Sukuna disappeared to a degree that he was no longer noticeable, wearing an enthusiastic smile, it seems that Yūji did not realize what he was doing, letting his feelings prevail, but the king of curses knew what that boy was provoking.

He hoped that this new curse would be powerful, to be the first curse in a world without curses, he would want at least something that could withstand his attacks.

Or will he have a new assistant when the destruction of this world occurs?

He does not know, he is anxious, because he feels that if Yūji really manages to create a curse based on that mediocre girl, if his desire and emotion is so strong.

He hopes that it will be at least a great curse.

On Yūji's part, he was still absorbed, whispering those words, his crisis before what he wants to ignore and what he appreciated.

When he began to open his eyes, he no longer looked inside himself, but he was not seeing that he was filled with fūinjutsu seals, tied up and in the center of multiple eyes, he did not know them, perhaps the only one he could recognize was that master of Konoha who gave them the first stage; Morino Ibiki, their faces are darkened compared to before.

It was a joke, because if that were so it only made him laugh, a very good joke.

Perhaps, it is just another test.

He looked at those seals all over his body, his chakra is unreachable and those seals kept his body locked around, the burning of his neck disappeared, feeling that something was blocking him from that small reserve he still had, he closed his eyes wanting to calm down, since he had not realized that his breathing had once again altered.

" They put everything right, right? This boy can be dangerous if he comes to be freed, they reported that he alone was the cause of the Death Forest being for the most part non-existent " spoke Morino to the ANBU who were near him, Inoichi Yamanaka reacted to the information

" are you serious? That is... " he blinked not knowing how to react, his gaze now appeared somewhat tense, looking at that little boy, he was smaller than had even been mistaken for a civilian, he had no ninja bearing.

At first he felt bad having that boy in those conditions, but this time he really did not feel so bad, it caused many deaths that had not yet finished collecting the few body parts.

" We are waiting for the Hokage to come here with the advisors, he will tell us how to proceed with this Rain Ninja " Morino again informed with great seriousness.

Yūji did not pay attention, he was locked in his own thoughts, for all those who were watching him, the boy was as if he were... dead inside.

" I just hope it doesn't take too long " Morino whispered glancing sideways at that boy, perfectly remembering him when he passed the first stage, in his view, the boy was someone very similar to Uzumaki Naruto, capable.

What was it that happened?

Now he realized, the air in the interrogation room is very...

Cold.

...

Inside the facilities of the Hokage Tower, the Hokage himself was having a meeting with the counselors about what had happened recently with Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane. Also present was Danzo behind the Third Hokage.

" This is what happened a terrible tragedy, more than just a loss the exams ended up ruining everything, what I have come to ask you is your opinion on what we must do with the culprit of it all, Yūji, a Genin from the Village of Rain " spoke the Third Hokage with that tired voice, and as expected Danzo acted in that silence

" It is unacceptable! That little village, do they think they have the power to challenge us? That brat brought multiple deaths and if it were not for our Jōnin right now he would already have attacked the village! " Danzo was very furious, striking that stick he held for walking.

He would not have cared if it were a small village, but that same village years ago had made a deal with Hanzō the Salamander, recalling that the only acceptable ones were ninjas from a poor organization called Akatsuki, since then that village has been in decline and was never touched again.

At least until now when they said that this boy is from the Village of Rain.

Mitokado looked at Danzo then at Sarutobi " Danzo it's right, that brat is a danger, but... you said that you saw something that not even Tsunade was able to do without activating the seal that he possesses, right? " It is something they were very interested in, it is possible that the boy has a unique body that could possibly be exploited.

Sarutobi inhaled from his pipe at the question his colleague asked, falling into an exhausting silence, everyone stopped until he answered " Quite so, I saw with my own eyes that the boy without any form of hand, did not mobilize chakra, his body regenerated, Hatake Kakashi pierced his heart... I saw how he came back from death "

Saying it made everyone let out a gasp of surprise, Danzo, who was behind, his mind was mobilizing the possibilities if he took that boy under his command, if he had that powerful body, even the cells of the First Hokage would become obsolete.

" it's impossible! We have never heard in all our time as ninjas and counselors about such a powerful technique " Utatane, with his palm open, struck the table

" it is possible that it is not a technique, the boy is from the Uzumaki clan, it is impossible not to know it from that hair so unique, perhaps... he is a very pure descendant who developed one of the unique techniques of the clan, very similar to a Kekke Genkai, we are not sure, but it is an asset that if we manage to cleanse his mind, we could make this boy twist his being, he is... very powerful, a true natural talent that was not born in Konoha, if we let him go back to the Village of Rain, it is possible that we lose that talent, and we will also leave in foreign hands a destructive power " spoke Sarutobi with seriousness.

Danzo smiled inwardly upon hearing him, it is the first time that he agrees with him " I will take charge so that he thinks that Konoha is his village, if you allow me to stay alone for a while at the root, I will take care "

" I can't do that, I said that he must stay in Konoha, it is so that he does it as part of ANBU "

And there, again the root advisor frowned " It is unacceptable, a danger that can explode at any moment, roaming around the village? Are you listening to yourself, Hiruzen? It is very dangerous for everyone! The best is that you leave him in my charge "

" I think Danzo it's right Hiruzen, if it is something very dangerous, being in the village will only cause something like the forest incident, but that regeneration talent, perhaps the boy has more secrets in his body... since Tsunade left the village, our faction of medical ninjas are very poor " Kotaru whispered with that trembling voice, but despite his senility he was quite firm.

Sarutobi looked out the window " I want to know your opinions, since this will be defined, I will not kill any important Genin of Konoha, but he has killed more than half by himself from multiple villages, I want you to think carefully, since if the village is accepted with multiple restrictions, I will send the Village of Rain the notification that those groups failed the second test, we will release the other Genin from the Village of Rain since they do not seem to know anything about it, but those two Uzumaki children will be under custody " The Third Hokage stood up looking at the counselors " accompany me now in the interrogation room, the boy is sealed with multiple papers, I need you to look at him and tell me your opinions "

Danzo frowned seeing how Homura and Kotaru looked at each other in silence, following Sarutobi from behind to the interrogation room.

Everything happened in silence, the face of seriousness imprinted on the face of the Hokage and the counselors, who when they arrived, were waiting for them along with some ANBU next to Morino Ibiki, his face full of seriousness and firmness

" hokage-sama, counselors " he gave a silent bow to them " accompany me this way "

He guided them to where they had the boy, one of the most restricted areas, a place where the very dangerous ninjas that they have had in the Leaf Village were where that boy was sitting and tied up.

Sarutobi upon arriving saw an image that, for him, brought sadness, after all that boy could be the age of his grandson Konohamaru and there he was, tied up, multiple seals.

But the lamentable part of that was his state, his dead face and without even giving nervous glances, he did nothing.

However, something unusual he felt when he entered the interrogation room, it felt as cold as if he were in the Land of Snow, it was terribly cold, he knows it is not his imagination when he saw that some ninjas were trembling, the only one who did not seem to care was that little one.

" There has been a problem when they kept him here? "

" Not at all Hokage-sama, this boy has not moved an inch, he has not spoken, nor does he seem to be making an effort " Morino answered while glancing at the boy.

" well, since we are here, proceed with the mind reading, we need to know if this boy is an attack on the part of Amegakure " The Hokage now looked at the Yamanaka, Inoichi looked at the Hokage and then at the boy who was on the floor.

On Yūji's part, he was still blaming himself for everything he caused, there was no point in forcing himself and showing reluctance to obey, a strong emotion on his part, if he lost control again, it is possible that Sukuna maximizes his soul from the deepest part of his being.

Inoichi approached the boy, the ANBU were on guard in case something happened during the reading, they were the same ANBU who watched the boy act like a sadist.

The Yamanaka, upon arriving in front of him, everything fell into a sepulchral silence, he made the corresponding seals to sigh calmly, when he executed the seals, he placed his hand on the head of that little boy.

Everyone was very attentive, as they saw Inoichi close his eyes trying to read inside him.

For the Yamanaka, everything went dark, there was nothing in that remote space.

There is... nothing.

" you found something? " asked the Hokage desperately to know, Inoichi remained in a silence that even they became expectant.

" n-no... it has nothing, Hokage-sama " Inoichi whispered, lost, the Yamanaka, this is impossible, no one has ever managed to escape his mind reading.

What was happening?

He undid the jutsu to look at the boy with that confused expression, why could he not read his memories? The boy had not even flinched, he remained there in silence.

" This has never happened to me before... " he whispered to himself, it was too strange, he did not seem to have a seal that prevented him from entering their minds.

Danzo, who is very extremist, tired of all that theater, again struck his stick on the floor with force, making everyone come out of their own thoughts looking at him " just use your mental alteration! It is a boy, he surely has a little more mental strength " he grumbled to Inoichi who looked at the advisor.

He pressed his lips to nod " as advisor says "

On Yūji's part, he did not seem to care what these ninjas of Konoha were trying to do to him, he did not need to speak, because he knew that whatever he said, they might think that he was only protecting his village, there was no point in fighting.

Although it did seem strange that they could not enter his mind, perhaps Sukuna was not allowing it? It could be, but it no longer mattered, if they wanted to kill him, they would not succeed, nothing matters.

He hoped that they would already execute what they wanted, looking at the floor where he was kneeling, he wanted to end this theater to escape.

' I want this to end now, I want to go... I want these ninjas to leave and leave me alone... I want them to go away ' the boy thought resentfully, clenching his hands.

' If she were here, being the strategist, I'm sure she would know what to do. ' remembering the peliverde once again made him smile softly.

Yūji remained still, feeling a small headache, but nothing important, when Inoichi finished the jutsu he separated, pressing his lips hard.

" Hokage-sama, this... no, my jutsus do not work, it is useless, either the boy has a lot of mental strength or he has a seal that we have not found " Inoichi informed his superiors.

Sarutobi analyzed looking at the boy " what strange.. "

Danzo was the one who was tired " then i'll do it my way! If he does not want to cooperate in a good way, the iron fist is what is needed " Danzo approached the boy, coming face to face with him.

Yūji raised his face gently, even in his gestures the sadness was palpable, as if he were worn out, he was tired.

Are they going to hit him now? He only smiled softly, it was to be expected, if they could not see him, a torture was missing.

" Danzo,wait! This is not the root for you to use your brute force " the Hokage reproached his friend with a stern look, seeing how Danzo did not seem to care at all.

" This child will say well the information we want to hear when he is barely conscious " With the same stick he was preparing to hit him, this stick had within it chakra-conducting metal, influencing his wind chakra nature as the stick began to wave with the green shine of the wind.

They will not be simple blows, it will leave him on the brink of death, Danzo smiled forcefully.

It will be the first session for that boy who will be his by force. He will not let Sarutobi keep such a precious asset that even Orochimaru himself desired, he will have him for himself.

Yūji looked at that, if he wanted, he could easily defend himself, but he no longer cared, he would take it as... a punishment.

He closed his eyes accepting that blow, his bearing defeated, if they wanted to torture him, let them do it.

Nothing matters now.

' It doesn't matter... it's what I deserve '

Waiting for that blow, he remained unmoving there.

Hearing the destruction of the wind jutsu, everyone became nervous as that blow could ruin the interrogation room.

"you're gonna talk, brat! " Danzo's shout was ferocious, and with that, he moved the stick straight towards Yūji.

Some were expectant, but others closed their eyes since, influenced by wind chakra, that boy for the first blow would look terrible and blood would splatter.

' don't... touch Yūji '

' don't... touch... '

' No!, No! NO! '

Hearing those shouts made him open his eyes forcefully, Yūji's dead eyes emitted a unique shine, he recognized that tone perfectly, the timbre of the voice, the very essence.

He looked beneath where he was on his knees, his Cursed Energy was going crazy, and to his surprise he saw how something thick like water stirred.

And when he looked ahead, he saw something that left him speechless.

In front of him, something as thick as water itself had solidified, it stopped the attack effortlessly, his large eyes began to fill with tears, he thought that once again he would not let them fall, he thought he felt strong.

The only one who uses water jutsus is Suiren, she... she is there.

" S-Suiren, it's... you? " His voice came out trembling, he could not see her, he could not turn around.

But he felt her presence, ¡she was behind him! He had not forced his way all along, his smile came out more radiant though his cheeks hurt, his friend, her, she is with him! ¡she is with him! ¡she is so happy that she could laugh until her chest hurts!

Maybe he did not realize at all times because Suiren was very good at infiltration and camouflage, yes, that must be it, good enough to hide in her own shadow with all her Cursed Energy. She, has always been incredible.

" S-Suiren... you are, yes you are! you really are! you are with me! Haha, I knew it! you are with me! " His voice emitting warm tones, it sounded as if in madness, he suffered as much as Yūji Itadori, ¿para ahora sufrir como... Yūji? He did not feel sane, but, ¿when has he ever been?

Although he was desperate, wanting to remove what he had on his arms and legs, with undeniable ease he broke them, he got up ignoring how everyone was left speechless by what they witnessed.

The boy turned around slowly, his legs, although strong, now felt as if they would collapse, thick tears came out of his eyes that although he wanted to stop them, he could not.

" Su-Suiren... if it's you... " he tried to wipe his tears with his hands, hoarse, the incessant pain in his chest.

There was Suiren, perhaps in a different form, but it was her, it really is her... it does not matter if she looks like a curse.

She is with him.

It is all he needed.

On the part of the ninjas and the Hokage of Konoha, they remained motionless, they do not know what happened, but to their surprise the first thing they saw was that something materialized out of nothing in front of Danzo blocking the attack and preventing them from touching the boy, and behind the boy.

It is one of the worst horrors they have seen, it is a demon, a strange and bubbling body was coming out of the boy's back, it was a formless demon, he barely managed to be emitted because of the darkness of the facilities.

Sarutobi felt his eyes widen, is it perhaps a shinigami that they do not know from the Uzumaki clan? Why did it come out at that moment? That form emits the worst death that he has ever seen, a whispering voice is heard as if it were a lament, someone who is always crying, a cold breath that chills to the bones, that explains why in that room it feels so cold, since they have the mantle of death with them.

The strange form seems to embrace the boy with deep affection, Yūji finally felt it, it is cold, it is lifeless, but he knows that that is a façade, she emits more warmth than a living being can feel, he knows her, and his love for her is evident.

" I... protect... to Yūji " His voice was heard in echoes, pitiful whispers, but for Yūji it was the most beautiful thing he could hear from his friend.

He has noticed that in that form, she does not have a face, only the deep eyes as he has always known her.

Despite crying, she smiled at that fact " I haven't seen your face yet...we haven't finished our game yet "

" But what are you waiting for!? Attack that demon! He has broken free from the seals and restrictions! " Danzo began to shout, his eye open in fury, even a little fear of seeing an unknown entity near the boy, he had knowledge that the Uzumakis have instigated the spectral, for a reason they have forbidden jutsus like the shinigami of death.

But that a boy has a contract with one? That is a danger that can no longer be recovered! For him it is a pity to lose an asset, but he valued his life more.

" attack! This is a trap " The Hokage gave the signal, and only then did the ninjas finally launch themselves at the boy who seemed to care less about what they did, all having ninja tools since if they used more jutsus they would destroy the facility.

The soft gesture of the curse that emerged from the shadows of Yūji, his aspect changed when he saw that they were launching themselves to hurt Yūji.

No one hurt Yūji while he is with her!

" ¡No! ¡Die! " His shout was one of the most chilling things they have heard.

Those ninjas who had launched themselves to capture the boy could not make a move against him, since at the speed they were attacked.

They already had their heads rolling on the floors, even the interrogation room became a disaster, Yūji looked at this, pressing his lips.

" Suiren, calm down, we'll go now, nothing matters anymore, it'll be okay... we'll be okay " he tried to say to the curse, she seems to have heard him since she stopped, returning to that calm gesture that he knew perfectly.

Yūji looked at those who remained there, those counselors, Morino and Inoichi, all with fear, more than anything because of the image of that spectral form behind.

It is... horrible.

What would they see? He only sees a friendly form in a curse.

" I didn't want any trouble... I'm sorry, my friend can't control herself " he whispered with an empty voice, now it seems that the boy has lost his sanity, he fought with curses, and he believes that still that curse continues to have some consciousness like her.

He had nothing more to do there, his sister will be fine, after all the culprit is only him, the further he is from his loved ones, the longer they will be able to live, if Suiren followed him, at least he will no longer feel alone.

The shackles came off and Yūji preferred to run from the facilities, he memorized the path easily since his eyes had been bandaged so that he could not see the entrance but with his six eyes he appreciated everything in better quality than usual.

" Catch him, don't let him escape! " The ANBU who always followed the Hokage in protection made their appearance following the order of the superior.

Yūji increased his speed, but ¡those ANBU are really fast! He forgot the fact that he is no longer the only swift one there.

He ran, combining all the Cursed Energy he could in his legs, a couple of times he looked back seeing that those ANBU did not stop chasing him.

The new curse reappeared as stealthily as always, knowing that Yūji only wants to escape, with a movement of hands eight spheres of thick water appeared on the ANBU, forced to advance since that water, as was said, is dense, they could not get out of there.

Although they are special spheres, since through the water one can see how those masks came off their faces, the ANBU are suffering, something so shiny and pure was coming out of their mouths, it was blue and vibrant, merging into the thickness of the water.

And in the new curse, she felt how she was slowly nourishing herself.

Their souls with the infused chakra were reaching her, watching as their lives slowly went out, until nothing was left, she undid the spheres, falling to the ground with a loud crash, the only thing that remained in them was that gesture of terror with blank eyes.

Delicious.

Yūji did not look any further, he did not care what Suiren did, he only wanted to escape from the Land of Fire and not get close to Amegakure, from the path they had taken before he took the opposite, his breathing agitated since using too much CE again was rotting his internal organs.

The same problem of not individually executing his two energies.

Despite suffering internally from separating from those he loves the most, it is for the best.

He must not make friends.

He must not have family.

Because that will only mean that they will be better off without him, closing his eyes in pain, he did not stop, he just continued.

And he no longer looked back.
