Naruto : The ultimate Troublemaker

Chapter 143: Naruto's Descent into Darkness



"— What the...?!," exclaimed Jiraiya, taken by surprise.

The chains wrapped around him, holding him firmly. Before he could react, Naruto rushed at him, a giant Rasengan formed in his hand.

"Take this! *Odama Rasengan!*"

The blow struck Jiraiya full force, hurling him violently against a wall. He spat out blood, his body trembling from the impact.

"Naruto..." he murmured, trying to rise despite the pain.

Realizing he couldn't keep taking these attacks, Jiraiya quickly performed hand seals to summon a toad.

"I didn't want it to come to this, Naruto, but you're leaving me no choice."

The toad landed on his shoulder, emitting a hypnotic sound that plunged Naruto into a powerful Genjutsu.

Naruto froze, his eyes fixated on nothingness. Jiraiya approached slowly, his gaze filled with sadness.

"Naruto, I'm sorry. I just wanted to protect you."

But as he reached out, he saw with horror Naruto's hair begin to change color, shifting from bright blonde to a dark auburn, like that of the Uzumaki.

Naruto growled, grabbing a kunai with a sudden movement and thrusting it without hesitation into his own eye, breaking the Genjutsu in a scream of pain.

"No!" cried Jiraiya, stepping back in shock.

Before he could react, Naruto's chains extended again, capturing him with relentless force.

Naruto drew near, a new Oodama Rasengan shining in his hand.

"Jiraiya... You never truly understood me!"

The Rasengan struck with devastating power.

Severely injured, Jiraiya desperately tried to summon Fukasaku and his wife to enter sage mode, but before he could finish, a figure appeared behind him.

Nagato struck Jiraiya in the back with brutal force, breaking his spine. Jiraiya collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

Nagato lifted him by the throat, holding him face-to-face with Naruto.

"Naruto, finish him. Free yourself from these parasitic ideologies."

Naruto, breathless and covered in blood, grasped a kunai. His hands trembled as he approached his former master.

"Naruto..." Jiraiya whispered, tears in his eyes. "You don't have to do this. Your father and mother sacrificed so much for you..."

Naruto clenched his teeth, his red eyes glowing with anger.

"Don't talk to me about them!" he roared, plunging the kunai into Jiraiya's chest.

Jiraiya's eyes lost their light, and his body fell heavily to the ground.

Naruto dropped to his knees, his chakra dissipating gradually. His hair returned to blonde, and he stared at Jiraiya's corpse with tears streaming down his face.

"Why...?" he murmured, his voice broken by pain.

Nagato placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't cry, Naruto. The Uzumaki don't cry. You're not alone anymore. You have a family now: Akatsuki."

Naruto remained still, his tears mingling with the heavy rain. He had made his choice, but at what cost? He had become a murderer, and it was only the beginning.

Naruto was led into a simple yet cozy room. The room, dimly lit by a flickering lantern, contrasted with the omnipresent darkness of Amegakure. Karin, calmly focused, knelt beside him, preparing medical supplies to treat his recent injury.

Naruto, silent and dejected, allowed his damaged eye to be cleaned and bandaged. His mind was clouded, his thoughts torn between the weight of his past actions and the certainty that his choice was right.

"It's not that bad," Karin said, her voice soft yet firm. "I already have a solution. But first, there's something else to take care of."

Naruto furrowed his brows, an expression of confusion on his tired face.

"Something else? What are you talking about?"

Karin, still focused on her work, performed a rapid series of hand seals. Suddenly, Naruto felt a strange sensation in his throat, as if something was rising from within his body. He choked briefly, his eyes widening in surprise, before a black raven burst from his mouth with a harsh cry.

The raven hovered briefly in the room before perching on a shelf, its red eyes glowing with an eerie Sharingan.

"What is this?!" Naruto cried out in panic, staring at the bird.

Karin straightened up, an expression of contempt on her face.

"One of the many ways Konoha has used to manipulate you," she replied sharply. "This raven carries Shisui Uchiha's Sharingan. It was probably placed inside you to control you remotely."

Naruto clenched his fists, anger rising within him.

"Even after all my parents did for this village, they never trusted me..."

The raven began to emit a strange glow, its Sharingan shining intensely. Karin, quick and reactive, leaped forward. Before the raven could activate *Kotoamatsukami*, she tore off its head with a precise movement.

Silence fell in the room, interrupted only by the sound of the bird's head rolling on the floor. Karin bent down, plucking out the eye and offering it to Naruto.

"This eye can be useful to you," she said calmly. "Use it as a substitute. It will serve you well, and you'll prove that even their manipulation tools can become your strength."

Naruto stared at the eye in his hand, his expression unreadable.

"I understand better now..." he murmured. "I made the right choice."
