Haruto created ten shadow clones without hesitation, leaving them behind to defend Tazuna. His real body tore through the mist like a bullet, eyes locked on the still figure—Naruto. Haku stood nearby, his mask hiding nothing, motionless, staring at what he'd done.
Haruto dropped to his knees beside his brother. His hands trembled as he checked Naruto's pulse.
Nothing.
"...Naruto?" Haruto's voice cracked. "Naruto!" He slapped Naruto's cheeks. "Hey! Wake up, you idiot!"
No response.
"Don't do this to me. Not now, not ever!"
Desperation overtook him. He began CPR, pumping Naruto's chest rhythmically.
"Breathe! Just breathe!"
Still nothing.
His arms fell limp. His breath hitched.
Haruto pressed both palms to his face and sobbed.
"This… this idiot… He was with me for twelve years. This ray of light… always smiling…"
Memories surged—Naruto snorting while laughing, whining about hunger, shouting "Dattebayo!" every time he failed and got back up again. His ridiculous pranks. His wild dreams. His unshakable belief in becoming Hokage.
All of it—shattered in a single moment.
"Why…?" Haruto whispered. "Why did it have to end like this?"
He slammed his fist into the earth with a scream that shook the ground.
"AHHHHHH!"
Even through the thick fog, Kakashi heard it. He looked up sharply, Mangekyō Sharingan scanning—then froze.
Naruto's body.
Haruto kneeling beside it.
'No… please no… not Naruto…'
Kakashi surged forward, desperate to end the fight—but something changed.
The air grew heavier.
The fog trembled.
The sky flickered, unnaturally quiet.
...
Haruto raised his head. His eyes—once warm and dark—now gleamed a terrible purple, rippling with concentric rings.
The Rinnegan.
Beside him, Sasuke clutched Naruto's limp body, silent and pale.
Haruto stood.
His voice was ice. "What did he ever do to you?"
His next words were thunder.
"You'll pay. Pain for pain… YOU'LL KNOW TRUE PAIN!"
With a wide smile and with an Insane anime type POV
(I wanted to write like when anime character goes insane and their camera angle distorted so yeah, I guess a failed attempt)
Chakra exploded around him—furious, corrupted red laced with black streaks. It roared like a beast set free, distorting the very air.
Kakashi staggered as the pressure struck him. "That chakra… it's nine tails? This chakra twice!"
Haku stumbled, legs buckling. He turned to flee—but couldn't move.
Haruto raised a hand, eyes locked.
"Shinra Tensei!"
A violent shockwave burst from him—BOOM!—hurling Haku like a ragdoll through the forest, splintering trees in his wake.
Zabuza turned, heart thudding as he sensed the spike in power.
"What the hell—?"
"You brought two jinchūriki here?" Zabuza snarled, voice laced with fury. "Perfect."
The earth cracked beneath him as Haruto began to rise—levitating, cloaked in red chakra, the black rods of the Outer Path orbiting him.
His Rinnegan glowed brighter.
"Banshō Ten'in."
The air twisted—Haku's body was yanked back from the treeline, flying helplessly toward Haruto.
Haruto seized him mid-air and slammed him into the ground with brutal force.
The ground trembled.
Haku coughed blood, unable to even move. But he mumbled
"E s aive" but haruto's in his frenzied state couldn't hear him
Haruto's chakra began to pulse wildly—an ocean crashing against the limits of his body.
Kakashi could only stare. "That's… impossible… How is this happening?"
Sasuke stared at haruto as he floated above'who did he inherited this...anger from?' many thoughts ran wild as a sudden roar stopped it
Zabuza roared, charging in desperation. "You think I'm afraid of a child?!"
He weaved hand signs with blistering speed—"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
A roaring serpent of water tore through the fog toward Haruto—
But Haruto raised a single hand.
"Preta Path."
The massive jutsu was absorbed into nothingness—devoured before it even touched him.
Then, without warning—
"Asura Path."
A mechanical arm shot out from Haruto's back—cannons unfolding, a chakra-powered missile forming at the end.
He launched it—
BOOM!
Zabuza was thrown back, crashing through several trees, blood flying.
Haruto hovered there like a god descending to earth, chakra still rising, voice dark.
"You took my brother."
"You'll feel what it's like to lose everything."
