Chapter 3: Planting The Seeds of Doubt
                When Kin finally reached the rendezvous point, Midoriko and Shinku were waiting for her. They both looked like they had quite a battle as they both had blood on their clothes.
                “Well? Did you get the scroll?” Kin asked her teammates.
                “Um…well…not exactly.” Midoriko timidly replied as if breaking some bad news to the raven haired Jashinist. “We ran into a slight snag.”
                “Yeah.” Shinku grumbled as he wiped some of the still fresh blood on his hands on his shirt. “Just as we were about to attack those losers from Amegakure, a couple of huge snakes pop up from out of nowhere and those Ame-nin run like the cowards they are, leaving us to deal with the snakes.”
                “Under normal circumstances, this would upset me.” Kin said with a frown that turned into a small grin. “Fortunately, I’m in too good of a mood.”
                “You found what you were looking for, Kin-chan?” Midoriko asked.
                “Yes Midoriko, I did.” Kin said as the memory of her encounter with Naruto replayed briefly in her mind. “But enough about me, let us focus on this part of the exam.” The High Priestess looked over to her feral teammate. “Shinku, can you still track the Amegakure genin?”
                “It’ll take a bit of work, but yeah.” Shinku replied.
                “Good.” Kin said as she drew her tri-scythe. “Slaughtering those cowards and offering their blood to Jashin-sama will be the perfect way to end today.” The raven haired Jashinist looked over to her teammates. “Let us go. We have some hunting to do and the night is very young.”
                Shinku and Midoriko both nodded. A moment later, the trio from Yamigakure took off to hunt their prey.
00000000000000000000000
                Tracking the team from Amegakure didn’t take nearly as long as Kin and her teammates thought. Apparently, the raincoat-clad shinobi weren’t too used to giant reptiles attacking, so they were still fairly shaken up. Though Kin did have to admit, there seemed to be more of the giant snakes around than any other creatures, which was strange. In addition to the spies that the Jashinist sent to Konoha, Yamigakure also sent some spies to their own to help out with reconnaissance and the intelligence report on the forest that she and her team had gotten before heading to Konoha had stated that the giant reptiles were fewer in number and the Intelligence Department of Yamigakure were always pretty accurate when it came to recon.
                “Like it all matters.” Kin thought to herself. “Those cowardly heathens won’t have to live in fear for much longer.” The thought brought an evil smile to the High Priestess’ face as she put her hands together as if praying. “Jashin-sama, your servant humbly asks you to bless the slaughter that is about to commence as I eviscerate these foolish non-believers in your name.” Kin said in a low tone as she prayed to her god.
                Shinku and Midoriko both overhead the prayer that their teammate just offered to the deity of her religion and in all out honesty, the green haired girl and the feral young man felt that they really should be used to the creepy crap that Kin and the other Jashinists of Yamigakure personified. As a whole, the Jashinists didn’t really stick together in large groups, but a considerable number of them resided in Yamigakure. Neither Shinku nor Midoriko really knew all the details, but the story going around was that the Jashinists of Yamigakure and the Yamikage had some kind of agreement. The Jashinists would have a safe haven in the Darkness Village to practice their macabre religion. In exchange, the Jashinists would lend their numbers to Yamigakure’s forces.
                So far, the agreement was benefiting both sides rather nicely. Yamigakure had some powerful, albeit sadistic, allies and the Jashinists were adding to their numbers as there were a fair number of converts from the village who showed some interest in the religion. In a village that was comprised of some of the more bloodthirsty and sadistic shinobi and kunoichi in the Elemental Nations even before the Jashinists came to town, it wasn’t too hard for some of Yamigakure’s population to get behind a religion that frequently practiced the fine art of slaughter. Kin, Shinku and Midoriko’s sensei was one such convert.
                “Let’s go.” Kin said as she got up with her tri scythe in hand. It was time to make a tribute to Jashin.
                Meanwhile, the three Rain-nin were huddled close to each other, planning out their next move. They were completely unaware of what was about to befall them.
                “How nice.” Kin spoke up, startling the Amegakure Genin. “The three little mice managed to avoid becoming snake food…only to become three little lambs to the slaughter.”
                The three Rain-nin quickly stood up and were on guard as Kin and her team walked into the area.
                “Hi boys. Remember us?” Shinku said with a feral smile while Midoriko waved hello.
                “We’re here for your scroll…and your lives.” Kin said with an evil smirk.
                “It’s those Yamigakure punks from earlier.” One of the Ame-nin said.
                “I thought those snakes got em’?” Another Rain-nin added.
                “No, but you’re going to wish that were the case by the time we’re done with you.” Kin said as she used her tri-scythe to cut her palm. Surprising amounts of blood poured out of the self-made wound and onto the ground. Once enough of the viscous liquid was on the ground, Kin licked her palm and the cut she made was healed. Using her right foot, the Jashinist High Priestess drew a large Jashin symbol on the ground with her blood. The Rain-nin looked on in disgust and wonder as they were trying to figure out just what the hell the raven haired girl was doing.
                “Shinku, Midoriko.” Kin addressed her teammates. The two Genin in question turned towards the Jashinist. “You two stand back and save your energy for whatever is next in this exam. These cowardly non-believers are mine.
                Shinku snapped his fingers in annoyance while Midoriko pouted rather adorably. While they wanted to protest further, they both knew not to get between Kin Tsuchi and her victims, especially after she drew the symbol of Jashin on the ground.
                “Now then.” Kin said as she faced the three Amegakure genin. “Shall we begin?”
                The Rain-nin were hesitant at first before one of them started to get smug seeing that Shinku and Midoriko were indeed sitting this one out. “Come on you two, we can take her. It’s just one weak little girl against the three of us. We can take her!”
                This seemed to boost the confidence of the other two Genin. “Yeah! You’re right!” One of them said
                “How tough can she be?” The other arrogantly stated.
                “Tell you what, heathens. I’ll let the three of you have the courtesy of the first strike.” Kin said as she stuck her tri-scythe into the ground. “You can do anything. Stab me in one of my vital areas; gouge my eyes out, hell you can even slice my head off. But whatever you do, you idiots better make sure it counts. Because if you fail, you die.”
                Looks of confusion graced the faces of the Amegakure ninjas as they were wondering if this girl was seriously serious.
                “Let’s move it morons. I don’t have all day.” Kin growled, getting impatient.
                That shook the Rain-nin out of their stupor as they drew their weapons. One of them had a straw umbrella with a short blade sticking out of the top while the other two had large kunai daggers that were more like short swords. “If that’s what you want, you little skeeze, that’s what you’ll get.” The Genin with the umbrella yelled as he and his teammates charged towards Kin, who was standing still as she didn’t have a care in the world.
                A moment later, the three Rain-nin attacked the raven haired Jashinist at the same time. The one with the umbrella blade stabbed Kin right through her neck while the other two stabbed her in two of her vital areas; one in her kidney, the other in her heart.
                “It looks like someone was nothing but talk.” The Rain-nin with the umbrella sneered. He then looked over to Shinku and Midoriko. To his surprise, neither of them looked concerned.
                “Hope you three said your goodbyes.” Shinku said.
                “And what are you two going to do about it?” One of the Rain-nin with the short swords said.
                “Who said ‘we’ were to do anything?” Shinku replied with a knowing smirk.
                “Yeah. Kin-chan told us to stay out of it, so we are.” Midoriko added. “Besides, are you sure you want to be looking at us…and not at her?”
                “She’s right you know.” Kin suddenly said
The Rain-nin turned with shocked expressions to see that, despite being stabbed through the neck and in two vital areas, the raven haired girl was still alive and well. And instead of looking like she was in immense pain, the Jashinist looked annoyed.
                “Was that it?” Kin asked. “Was that the best you three cocksucking heathens could do?”
                The three Amegakure Nin jumped away, leaving their weapons imbedded in the girl. “What the hell?!” The Ame Genin with the umbrella said with wide eyes. “She’s alive!”
                “But how?!” One of the others shouted in disbelief.
                “Is she immortal?” The other said.
                “Wow. Look at the brain on the genius over there.” Kin sarcastically said as she pulled the umbrella out of her neck. As soon as she did, the gaping wound was beginning to heal itself. In less than two seconds, the only sign that she was ever wounded was the blood on the front and back of her neck. The Rain Genin looked on in horror as the Jashinist proceeded to pull the large kunai out of her kidney and heart.
                Kin looked at her intended victims with a dark smirk. “Judging from your stunned silence, I take it that it’s MY turn now.” The High Priestess said as she gripped the two short swords in an attack stance.
                The Amegakure Genin barely had enough time to react when Kin suddenly charged toward them. In an instant, Kin was in front of one of the Genin. Before the Rain-nin’s brain registered that Kin was there, the raven haired Jashinist impaled him in the gut with both blades. “Snip, snip.” Kin said as she used the blades to slice the Genin in half; his upper half hitting the ground with a meaty slap just before his lower half fell backwards.
                “No! Hyoto!” The other Rain-nin who also wielded the swords yelled as he watched his teammate die a savage death.
                “Don’t feel too bad.” Kin said as she started towards her next victim. “You’re about to join him.”
                The angered Rain-nin drew out a pair of Kunai. “You bitch! I’ll make you suffer!”
                This only made Kin smile. Just before the Rain-nin attacked, Kin quickly moved behind him and used the swords to stab the Genin in the same places that she was stabbed: the kidney and the heart. Before the Rain-nin fell, Kin quickly grabbed the Genin’s kunai and stabbed him in the neck. He was dead before he hit the ground.
                That just left the Genin with the umbrella. “And then there was one.” Kin said as she waved her hand to her side. A few yards away, Kin’s tri-scythe was suddenly pulled out of the ground and flew to the hand of its mistress.
                The remaining Rain-nin looked at the carnage around him. His eyes were wide with terror, seeing how his teammates were killed with such ease and brutality. He then looked at their killer, who was readying her tri-scythe.
                The Rain-nin quickly fumbled through his coat and pulled something out. It was the Heaven scroll. “Here! Please take it! Just spare me!” The Ame Genin rolled the scroll over to Kin. The raven haired Jashinist looked down at the scroll and then looked back at the Genin with a look of disgust. “Coward.” The High Priestess said as she picked up the scroll and then tossed it to her teammates. Kin then slowly walked towards the remaining Genin.
                “Wait! What are you doing?! I gave you the scroll!” The Ame-nin frantically screamed.
                “Apparently, you weren’t paying attention earlier.” Kin said with a voice full of malice. “I said that I was here for your life as well as the scroll.”
                As Kin stalked towards Genin, she summoned a fancy looking short sword into her hand with a quick burst of reddish black energy. The hilt consisted of a gold dragon’s head with wings on either side of it and the jet black blade looked like it was coming out of the dragon’s mouth. Kin grabbed one of the Genin’s hands and cut his palm with her sword. She let go of his hand and licked the blood from the blade. To the Amegakure Genin’s surprise, Kin walked away from him as if she had what she wanted from him.
                “What was that for?” The Ame Genin asked with more than a little fear in his voice.
                “The preparations have been completed. Now, the ritual shall begin.” Kin said as she stepped into the Jashin symbol she drew earlier.
                The Ame Genin just remained where he was as he was just too freaked out do anything else.
                “And now heathen.” Kin continued as she started to slowly turn back around to face the Rain-nin. “It is now time for you to die.”
                The Rain-nin thought he was going to have a heart attack right there and then when Kin finally faced him. Her skin went from a pale creamy white to jet black. There were also several grayish white markings on her face and exposed skin, making her look like a skeleton. The maniacal look on her face just added to the already horrific scene.
                “Now where to start first?” Kin asked herself. “Maybe the hands?” With that, the Jashinist High Priestess took her sword, stuck the blade into her right palm and began to cut.
                As the Ame Genin was trying to figure out what was going on, he felt a sharp pain in his right palm. He looked to see that a blade wound was suddenly forming on his palm.
                “Maybe your leg?” Kin said as she suddenly stabbed herself in her upper left leg. A surging pain suddenly engulfed the Rain-nin’s left leg in the same spot Kin stabbed herself.
                “Or perhaps I should return the favor from earlier when you stabbed me in the neck?” Kin said as she took her sword and slowly sank the black blade into the same place she was stabbed earlier.
                The Rain Genin clutched his throat as the pain of something being stuck through his neck could be felt. He could also feel blood filling his throat. Kin pulled the short sword out of her neck as the Ame-nin coughed up blood while making some rather disturbing gurgling sounds as he coughed.
A moment later, he was dead.
                The skeletal markings on Kin’s skin receded and the Jashinist High Priestess’ skin color returned to normal. The self-inflicted wounds rapidly healed themselves as well. After sheathing her sword, Kin put her hands together and began to pray. “Jashin-sama, I thank you for granting me such a bountiful harvest of victims. To show my appreciation, I offer the blood of these spineless heathens as tribute my lord.”
                Shinku and Midoriko said nothing as their teammate continued her ritual. Now that they had the scroll that they needed, the Yamigakure Genin were ready to get going, but they knew from past experiences not to interrupt their Jashinist teammate while she was praying to her god… unless of course they wanted to end up as tribute for Jashin as well. Just because there was an agreement in place between Yamigakure and the Jashinists didn’t mean that neither side was entirely safe from the other.
                After patiently waiting for about twenty minutes, Kin stepped away from the symbol she was standing on. “The ritual is complete.” The raven haired Jashinist said. “Let’s go.”
                Shinku and Midoriko nodded and the team from Yamigakure took off towards the tower.
000000000000000000000000
                After reaching the tower, Kin and her team were greeted by their sensei after delivering the scrolls. “That was brief.” Onihime Gouki, a Jonin from Yamigakure and a Jashin Convert, said as she looked at her students. “But judging from your appearances, I’m assuming it wasn’t uneventful.”
                “You could say something like that.” Kin replied.
                “Did you take care of your ‘other’ assignment Kin?” Onihime asked.
                “Yes.” The High Priestess smiled evilly.
                “Good.” Onihime said as she looked to her other two students. “Since you all arrived early, get some rest and prepare yourselves for what may come.”
                Shinku and Midoriko nodded and left in search of a place to sleep. Kin stayed behind with her sensei and fellow Jashinist. “You used the Kiss on him.” Onihime stated.
                “I did.” Kin said. “The rest should be easy.”
                “Don’t be so sure Kin.” Onihime cautioned. “The Kiss is a potent weapon, but it is not completely foolproof.”
                “I know what I’m doing Onihime-sensei.” Kin replied.
                “I’m aware of that, I’m just telling you not to assume that it’s over until it’s over.” Onihime said as she walked away.
                Kin silently growled. She hated it when someone doubted her abilities, but a part of her knew that Onihime had a valid point. Her sensei may have converted to the ways of Jashinism, but Onihime and her family converted when the Jonin was still a child, as a result, Onihime had been a Jashinist longer than Kin, so she knew what she was talking about.
                “Regardless, I’d better check up on him.” Kin thought. She had already planted the seeds of doubt in Naruto. Now, it was time to for them to grow and bear fruit. Kin walked off and found her teammates inside a room with a couple of rows of bunks. They were clearly for the people who would make it to the tower. In another corner of the room, Kin noticed the trio from Suna. Neither the girl with the large fan or the young man with the Kabuki face paint and the wrapped bundle on his back seemed to be much of a threat. The redhead with the huge gourd on his back on the other hand...
                That guy was creepy on levels not even Kin wanted to go near.
                “Maybe we should sleep in shifts?” Midoriko said in a low tone so only her teammates could hear. Kin noticed that she and Shinku were looking at the Suna trio, or more specifically, the redhead with the gourd.
                “Yeah.” Shinku agreed. “There’s something about that guy over there that gives me the creeps.”
                “I’ll take the first shift.” Kin said. “I have things to do before I go to sleep.”
                Midoriko and Shinku gave no argument as they picked a bunk and fell asleep. Kin sat down on a chair beside her teammates’ bunk. With a final glance towards the Suna trio, the raven haired Jashinist made a quick handsign, closed her eyes and started to concentrate.
                “Where are you my love?” Kin thought just before shaking her head. “Where the hell did that come from?” Chalking it up to a lapse in concentration, the raven haired Jashinist refocused on the task at hand. “Though I do have to admit, he is rather cute with those whisker marks. And he wasn’t a bad kisser…Urr. Focus Kin! You have a job to do and you don’t have time to give into hormones now.”
                After a few moments, Kin found Naruto and quickly established the mental link that came from the Kiss. “Found you.” Kin whispered. Forming another handsign, Kin closed her eyes and concentrated again.
                When the Jashinist High Priestess opened her eyes, she found that she was no longer in the bunk room, but rather in a sewer. “This must be his mindscape.” Kin said as she began to walk. Before Kin could start to truly turn Naruto to the dark side so to speak, she needed something to work with. She figured the easiest thing to do would be to dig up memories of Naruto’s childhood, specifically the negative memories where the villagers treated him like garbage. From there, she would tweak the memories and turn them into nightmares; make it seem that the people he considers to be his friends are among the people who hate him. After that, she would implant some thoughts about herself into Naruto’s mind where she would move in to save him from the villagers, further emphasizing the point that she was the only one that he could trust. An infant could pull it off.
                As the raven haired Jashinist walked, she heard a growl coming from one of the tunnels. “What was that?” Kin followed the sound. After turning a couple of corners, the High Priestess found herself before a large cage. On the front of the cage was a large piece of paper with the kanji for ‘seal’ on it.
                “What business do you have here girl?” A cool female voice said from within the cell.
                As Kin blinked, the sound of footsteps coming towards her could be heard. A moment later, a beautiful woman stepped into view. She had smooth blood red hair that was just about as long as Kin’s own jet black locks. There was also a slight shimmer to it, making her hair look like there was a small waterfall of blood behind her. Her slitted eyes were a bluish violet color that almost seemed to glow in the darkness. She was also dressed in a black kimono with red trim that showed off her cleavage, long legs and hourglass figure. Strapped to her side was a katana with a black and red handle connected to a small chain (Think Tensa Zangetsu from Bleach).
                The most striking feature of this woman however, had to be the nine fluffy tails that were connected to her lower back.
                “I assume that I’m in the presence of the great Nine-Tailed Fox?” Kin asked, trying not to let her confusion show. The raven haired Jashinist had pictured the great beast to be…well, more monstrous, not a strong candidate for ‘Playmate of the Year.’
                “In a way, yes.” The woman answered as she started to get a better look at Kin. She took note of the tri-scythe strapped to her back as well as the pendent she wore around her neck. “Now answer my question. What business does a Jashinist have here?”
                “If you are the Kyuubi, then you would know that Naruto has led a rather difficult life thanks to the heathens of the Leaf.” Kin replied. This resulted in an animalistic growl from the Kyuubi woman. Whether it was directed at Kin or the villagers, the girl didn’t know.
“Since those idiots have been so diligent in dishing out mental and physical abuse towards Naruto, I thought I would help him in returning the favor in kind.” Kin continued. “You see, in my religion, there’s a prophecy that states that the most powerful High Priestess, that being me, and the Jinchuriki of the most powerful of the nine beasts, that being Naruto, will bring deliver chaos and destruction throughout the land in the name of Jashin-sama. I’m here to take Naruto away from this cesspool of weakness so that he may embrace the ways of Jashin-sama so that the both of us can fulfill the Prophecy.”
                The woman’s eye narrowed dangerously. “So in other words, you wish to turn Naruto into the very thing that the people of the leaf proclaim that he is.” She growled.
                “Yes.” Kin replied, seeing no real reason to feed the woman before her a load of bull. She was half-expecting the Kyuubi to tell her to leave or face her wrath.
Imagine Kin’s surprise when a small grin formed on the woman’s face. “Nice to know I’m not the only one who wants to see those ignorant fools get what they deserve for what they did to my son.”
                “Your son?” Kin raised an eyebrow. “Do explain.”
                “The story going around the leaf is that the Fourth Hokage saved the Leaf by sealing the Kyuubi into a newborn child after the beast broke free of its previous host. Many saw it as the ultimate act of sacrifice, but what the fools of the village don’t know was that the Fourth was capable of killing the fox, but if that were to happen, Konoha would lose its greatest trump card.” The woman said with more than a little hint of sarcasm. “He would have resealed the fox back into its previous vessel, but that wasn’t an option as she had passed on. The release of the Kyuubi had weakened the previous Jinchuriki greatly, but it was the birth of her child that killed her, the child that would be used as the Kyuubi’s next Jinchuriki. However, what no one, not even the Fourth Hokage, knows is that during the sealing process, the soul of the previous Jinchuriki had merged with the soul of the Kyuubi.”
                Kin’s eyes widened at the revelation. “So that would make you…”
                “I am Kushina Uzumaki, the new Kyuubi.” She proclaimed.
                “Whoa.” Kin said. This was one of the very few times that the High Priestess was rendered speechless.
                “For twelve years, I have watched helplessly as my son has been used and abused by those ungrateful bastards. He had been purposely neglected in his training and even after he gives his heart and soul for the people of the leaf, they turn around and spit in his face.” Kushina said with venom in her voice. “I can’t tell you how many times I have cried at the pain that Naruto has suffered through…and at the fact that I can’t do anything to comfort him. He has suffered all because dear old Daddy didn’t want the village to be weak.” The woman was on the verge of tears and despite herself, Kin was really beginning to feel bad for her. “And the funniest part of it all is the fact that the Fourth Hokage wanted Naruto to be seen as a hero. Feh, we all know how that turned out.”
                “I can assure you, the heathens of the Leaf will get their comeuppance after I turn Naruto against them.” Kin said.
                “How do you propose to do that?” Kushina said. Kin then went on to explain her plan.
                “Sounds promising.” Kushina had to admit. “Provided that Naruto is not harmed of course.”
                “As a Jashinist, I am many things. But one thing that I am not is someone who breaks their word.” Kin said. “Now I won’t lie, I may have to push Naruto a little in order to move things along, but I assure you that I won’t intentionally harm him.”
                “I hope not.” Kushina said in a tone that was dead serious.   “Because you know my standing on people who harm my son.”
                “Wouldn’t dream of it.” Kin replied. “That being said, shall we begin?”
                Kushina made some handsigns. Some of the water on the ground began to rise up off the ground and formed a bubble of sorts. Inside the bubble was an image of Naruto walking hand in hand with Sakura.
                “What Naruto sees in that girl is beyond me.” Kushina said in disgust. “It’s clear that she has eyes only for that whinny Uchiha brat.”
                “I’ve noticed.” Kin sighed. “He could do so much better.”
                Kushina smirked at the girl. “I know he can.”
                Kin missed the smirk as she raised her right hand towards the bubble. As she did so, viscous red liquid quickly coated Kin’s hand, changing its shape into a mean looking claw. “Time for pink to become Naruto’s least favorite color.” The High Priestess said as she took one clawed finger and pushed it into the dream bubble.
000000000000000000
                Meanwhile, Naruto was having one of the best dreams in a long time. The sun was shining, he had free ramen for life at Ichiraku’s, he was next in line to become Hokage and the best part of it all was that he and Sakura were engaged. Life was perfect.
                “Naruto, there’s something I want to tell you.” Sakura said in a sweet tone.
                “Sure Sakura-chan. What’s on your mind?” Naruto replied giving the pink haired girl his signature smile.
                “I will and forever…loathe you.” Sakura said as her expression changed from serene to disgust.
                “Huh?” Naruto shook his head, wondering what the hell was going on.
                “Did you honestly think that I would ever love a pathetic demon like you? Did you truly believe that you could ever be better than Sasuke?” Sakura said in a voice full of malice.
                “Wh-what are you talking about Sa-.” Naruto never got a chance to finish as Sakura punched the blonde in the face and sent him flying into a wall, leaving a large dent where he impacted.
                “Don’t ever say my name, demon. You’re not worthy enough to even think it.” Sakura growled. By this time, all the villagers and ninjas in the area stopped what they were doing and all looked at Naruto with glares of hatred. To the blonde’s shock, his classmates and the people closest to him were among them.
                “Monster.” Iruka practically spat the term.
                “Looks like the dead last demon is doing what he does best.” Kakashi said. “Acting like a nuisance.”
                “I say we finish was the fourth started and kill him.” Sakura said as she drew a kunai.
                “Kill him!” Iruka yelled.
                Naruto was too shocked to do anything as he saw the people that he thought were his friends; the very people that he had sworn to protect were closing in on him with the intent of killing him.
                “Naruto.” The voice of the Third Hokage could be heard as everyone cleared a path for their leader.
                “Ji-san, help me.” Naruto begged.
                “No.” The old man sneered. “You’ve been an embarrassment to this village and to me for far too long. I should have done this long ago.” The Hokage then looked to everyone. “Destroy him.” He coldly ordered.
                “This can’t be happening.” Naruto said as he tried to run, but found that he was surrounded.
00000000000000000000000
                “Time for me to enter the fray.” Kin said as she poked another talon-like finger into the dream bubble.
00000000000000000000000
                Just as the villagers were about to give Naruto the mother of all beatings, the blonde shut his eyes. After a full minute, Naruto opened his eyes to see that he was no longer surrounded by people who were out to kill him. Instead, there was one person in front of him.
                “Hello Naruto.” Kin greeted the boy with a pleasant smile. “Nice to see you again.”
                “K-Kin?” Naruto asked.
                “The one and only.” The raven haired girl replied
                “What just happened? Where did everyone go?” Naruto asked, clearly confused as to what was happening.
                “You mean all of them?” Kin replied as she pointed to her right.
                Naruto turned his head…and immediately felt his eyes widen in shock. Littered on the ground were countless corpses and the ones closest to Kin and himself were Naruto’s precious people: The Hokage, Iruka, The Ichiraku family, Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke, the rest of the nine rookies and their senseis. Each corpse looked brutalized, as if someone took every killing tool conceivable and used them to their fullest.
                “Wh-wh-what happened to them?” Naruto asked, feeling more fear at such a gruesome sight than when they were all about to attack.
                “You killed them of course.” Kin explained as if it were the most normal thing on earth.
                “WHAT?!” Naruto said as he looked at his hands. The blonde paled when he saw that his hands and his clothes were covered in blood. “No. NO! I couldn’t have killed them!”
                “But you did.” Kin said as she took her left hand and gently caressed Naruto’s cheek. “And it’s alright, because they deserved to die.”
                “What? What do you mean?” Naruto asked in a nervous tone.
                “You killed them because they were going to kill you.” Kin explained as she continued to caress Naruto cheek, which was starting to calm the blonde down. “Therefore, they all deserved to be slaughtered.”
                “But, they were my…” Naruto started.
                “Your friends? Your precious people?” Kin finished. “If they truly were your friends, would they attack you?”
                “No.” Naruto said.
                “Of course they wouldn’t.” Kin said as she moved her face closer to Naruto. “They don’t understand you Naruto. And as a result, they fear you.”
                “Fear me?” Naruto asked.
                “Yes.” Kin replied. “It’s a well known fact that humanity fears what it doesn’t understand. And humanity tramples on what it fears and doesn’t understand. And to them, it’s all fun and games up until they find themselves on the receiving end of the punishment.”
                Naruto said nothing as everything started to sink in. It was then that the Jinchuriki started to feel tired. Kin gently sat him down.
                “Think about what I told you Naruto.” Kin said as she started to float upward. “And remember what I told you when we met. I’ll be your friend.”
                With that, Kin vanished and Naruto’s eyes shut.
00000000000000000000000000
                Back inside Naruto’s mindscape, Kin withdrew her clawed hand from the dream bubble as it dissolved.
                “That should give him a nudge in my direction.” Kin said as she morphed her hand back to normal.
                “Impressive.” Kushina said from her cell. “So, about this prophecy? It says that you and Naruto will work together. Does that mean that you two will eventually marry?” The redhead said with a mischievous look.
                This resulted in Kin’s face becoming just as red as Kushina’s hair. “How would I know?” The raven haired girl quickly replied, clearly embarrassed. “It may be a prophecy, but nothing is ever certain.”
                Kushina just sighed, as if disappointed. “Well that’s a shame. I was so looking forward to grandchildren. And with hips like yours, they would probably pop right out.”
                If anything, Kin’s face got even redder. “I gotta run.” Kin quickly said as she vanished in a puff of smoke.
                Kushina just giggled. “Ah young love, such a beautiful thing.”
0000000000000000000000
                Kin opened her eyes to see that she was back in her body in the tower. “Oh man. It’s bad enough my own mother is on my case about finding a boy. Now I got another woman talking about grandkids.” The raven haired Jashinist thought as she looked around the room. She noticed that the redheaded Suna boy was gone, but his teammates were asleep in beds on the other side of the room. There were also a few new arrivals as well. It was one of the Konoha teams, the one that had the feral boy with the puppy in it. He, the puppy and the indigo haired girl were asleep in bunks nearby. Apparently, they had the same idea as Kin and her teammates about sleeping in shifts as the boy with the frazzled hair and sunglasses was awake and sitting in a chair by his teammates. Both Kin and the young man looked at each other for a moment before resuming their own business.
                “Speaking of shifts.” Looking at the clock by the door told Kin that four hours had passed. “How time flies these days.” Kin said to herself. With a yawn, the High Priestess decided that it was time to get some sleep.
                “Shinku, wake up.” Kin said as she shook her feral teammate awake.
                “Huh? What?” Shinku blinked a couple of times.
                “Your turn.” Kin said as she took the bunk beside his and Midoriko’s. “Wake Midoriko up in about four hours.”
                “Right, right.” Shinku said as he got up and Kin fell asleep. For some odd reason, thoughts of Naruto entered her mind as she slept.
00000000000000000000000
                Several days later, the genin that passed the second part of the Chunin Exam were all gathered in a large room that looked like an arena of sorts. Kin looked at the teams that were gathered. There was the Sand team, the team from Oto and five Konoha teams along with the team from Yamigakure. The senseis from each team were all standing up front with the proctors and the Hokage. After the Hokage explained the meaning of the Chunin Exam, a sickly-looking Jonin named Hayate appeared.
                “Since we seem to have a large number of participants, we’re going to have preliminary one on one battles to reduce the number of participants for the finals.” The coughing Jonin explained. “If there’s anyone who is unable to compete, raise your hand and you can go. But by doing so, you forfeit your place in the Chunin Exam.”
                Kabuto was the first to raise his hand and was excused. Sakura wanted Sasuke to forfeit, but the Uchiha would have none of it.
                “Just let him have his way Sakura.” Naruto grumbled. “If he’s that desperate to get the crap kicked out of him because he’s too hard headed to know when to quit, then let him.”
                “What did you say dobe?” Sasuke growled
                “You heard me, but maybe you’d like me to show you instead?” Naruto growled back as images of him butchering the smug Uchiha entered his mind. The blonde shook his head to clear the images. Ever since he had that strange dream the other night, he had been more irritable than usual. On top of that, whenever Sasuke or Sakura started getting on his case, he would envision himself brutally mauling them.
                “Feh, you’re not worth my time dobe.” Sasuke replied, deciding to drop the subject. Besides, the pain from the curse mark was dying down.
                “Whatever pussy.” Naruto said, low enough so no one could hear.
                Kin watched the little exchange between Naruto and the Uchiha and had to grin to herself. The Kiss was doing its job rather nicely. Over the past few days, Kin used her mental link with Naruto to implant images of him killing people, most notably his teammates. She also used it to implant images of herself and Naruto spending time together.
                “Just a few more little pushes and he’s mine, err, the cult’s I mean.”
                Ever since the first night, the grandkids comment from Kushina really got under Kin’s skin. “Damn redheaded fur balls.”
                “Hey, what did I do?” Shinku asked.
                “Not you, idiot.” Kin growled.
                After it was clear that no one else was going to forfeit, the electronic board on the wall behind the giant hands in the arena began to shuffle. It stopped on Midoriko taking on Misumi, one of Kabuto’s teammates. Everyone else was told to go up to the platforms above the arena and wait their turn.
                As everyone turned to make way for the first match, Kin walked up to Naruto. “Well hello stranger. Nice to see you again.” Kin greeted the blonde.
                Upon seeing the raven haired girl, Naruto blushed. “Um, hello Kin.”
                “So, how have the exams been for you so far?” Kin asked as they walked.
                “Good. We made it, that’s the important thing.” Naruto replied.
                “Are you alright?” Kin asked. “You look like you have a fever.”
                “I’m okay.” Naruto quickly replied. “It’s just that I’ve been having some weird dreams lately.”
                “Oh? About what?” The raven haired Jashinist asked, even though she knew full well what the boy was dreaming about.
                “Well.” Naruto started as his blush vanished and got serious. “I’ve been having these really violent thoughts lately, about killing people.”
                “Really?” Kin replied, raising an eyebrow. “Well, we are ninjas, and killing is part of the job.”
                “Yeah, I know.” Naruto said. “But to have thoughts like that all the time? That’s a little disturbing, don’t you think?”
                “Why not? I do.” Kin said in a matter-of-fact tone.
                “What?” Naruto said, feeling surprised.
                “I’ll explain later.” Kin promised. “Well, good luck in the matches.”
                “Hey Kin, wait a minute.” Naruto said as he gently grabbed her hand. A soft blush appeared on Kin’s cheeks at the feeling of his skin touching hers. “There’s something else.”
                “Yeah?” Kin asked
                “There were some other dreams I’ve been having…about me and you.”
                “Oh? Have you?” Kin replied softly as she felt her cheeks heat up.
                “And I remembered what you said when we met, about hanging out together when we get some free time from the exams. I was wondering if that offer’s still up?” Naruto asked
                Kin gave the blonde one of her few legitimate smiles. “Of course.” She replied as she reluctantly started to walk away.
                “Uh Kin, there’s one more thing.” Naruto said.
                “Yes?”
                “Well, there’s this one other dream I had last night…”
                “Oh? What was it about?”
                The Jashinist noticed that Naruto was starting to blush heavily. “Uh, well, it’s probably nothing, but I was dreaming about you and me living together and having about five kids and there was this redheaded woman who kept going on about having so many grandkids. Kinda strange don’t you think?”
                If Kin’s jaw wasn’t firmly attached to her skull, it would’ve hit the ground. And her face was so red, it would made the reddest tomato pale in comparison.
                “Are you alright Kin? Maybe you got a fever too?” Naruto asked, feeling concerned.
                Fortunately, Kin recovered rather quickly. “Oh I’m fine, thank you.” The High Priestess said so fast, Naruto almost didn’t know what she said. “As far as the dreams go, it’s probably something in the water around here.”
                “Yeah, probably.” Naruto replied. “Well, see you when the exams are over and good luck.”
                “You too.” Kin said as she started up the stairs to join her team. As she walked, the raven haired Jashinist clenched her fists.
                “Note to self. Have a chat with Kushina at the earliest convenience.”
