Naruto: Winds and Changes

"You…you hurt me!" Gaara screamed as a bit of blood dribbled out of his mouth, "I'll kill you!"

Sand seemed to come at Naruto from all directions, making him curse as he tried to dodge. However even with his speed he could not dodge them all, nor could he pick up enough momentum to plow through the sand, and eventually one of the tendrils grabbed onto him.

Gaara began grinning maniacally as he directed his sand to slam Naruto into everything he could, walls, the floor, the ceiling, the railings. No one could keep out the wince as Naruto was smashed into seemingly everything.

Naruto groaned as Gaara's sand threw him into the wall where he left a large crater, Fuck! That hurts…

The blond spit out some blood that had begun to congeal in his mouth. He had never felt so sore in his life; I think I would take playing death tag with Anko over this.

Falling to the ground Naruto coughed up several wads of blood. He looked terrible; his cloak had been ripped to shreds some time during the thrashing he had received. His body had several large black bruises on his skin; almost enough that it looked like his entire body had turned into one large bruise.

Many of the genin watched in shock as Naruto stood back up, unable to comprehend how he could even move after the beat down he had received.

Naruto looked up to see a wave of sand coming towards him, Fuck! He began to speed through a set of hand seals, hoping he could complete them in time.

"Fuuton: Kamikaze No Tatsumaki!" Naruto thrust his palms out and two large tornadoes blasted from them, destroying the wave of sand Gaara had created.

'Kyuubi do you have any idea's on how to beat this guy? because I'm all out!' Naruto rolled to the left as sand shot at him, crashing into the floor before it continued to follow him.

Kyuubi did her best to contain her irritation as she spoke, 'I'm trying to think of something Naruto. Just give me a minute.'

'I don't think we have a minute!' Naruto dodged another tendril of sand, only for one to catch his left arm from behind.

Gaara grinned as Naruto struggled to get rid the sand off his arm. He made his hand into a fist, "Sabaku Sousou!" there was a loud crunch as blood burst out from the sand.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" Naruto's scream tore through the arena, and several of the genin, mainly those from the rookie nine blanched in shock and horror. Gaara began to laugh maniacally as he pulled the sand away for a moment to reveal the stump Naruto now had for an arm.

"Yes! That's it! Scream for me! Let me feel alive!"

"Oh dear…Kami-sama…" Tenten whispered as Naruto clutched at his now gone arm.

Yugito who had gotten back from making sure her friend was alright grimaced as she noticed the blond missing his arm.

Many of the other genin could not say anything. Sakura threw up, Shino looked on solemnly, Hinata who had just woken up looked like she was about to cry, Ino, Chouji and Shikamaru all looked like they were also on the verge of vomiting. All of the Jonin-senseis looked at the blond boy in shock, except for one who licked his lips at seeing how resilient the boy was.

It's too bad he holds the Kyuubi. He would make a nice vessel.

However none of them were as bad as Anko, who looked ready to murder Gaara.

Oh no… Sarutobi paled as he saw his surrogate grandson's condition, I need to stop this before it gets out of hand.

"Hayate."

Hayate looked over at the Hokage before nodding, "Due to the fact that Naruto is unable to battle, I hereby-"

"NO!" Naruto roared, drawing everyone's attention to him as he stood up, "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT STOPPING THIS MATCH! I'm not done yet! This battle isn't over until I say it's over!"

Everyone looked at Naruto like he was crazy. However the look ofutter determination in his eyes left little room for argument.

"That's good Uzumaki! Keep struggling! That way I can feel more alive when I kill you!" Gaara crowed, his voice holding nothing more than madness in it.

Naruto glared at Gaara, despite the pain he was in, "You're not gonna be laughing like that after I beat your ass!"

'Kyu, any ideas?'

'Well, I can regenerate your arm if you want?' the vixen offered, 'But it's going to hurt.'

'I think I can take it. Now let's do this so I can kick some Tanuki ass!'

Kyuubi sighed a bit as she prepared for what she was going to do, 'Brace yourself.'

Naruto felt Kyuubi's yokai coming out of the seal and grit his as he felt it travel along his body and to his arm. Everyone watched in shock as the red energy from the Kyuubi was released. Naruto's eyes flashed red as his whisker marks began to thicken. All of the Konoha ninja who were old enough to have been there during the Kyuubi attack recognized that chakra.

I don't believe it! He is using its chakra! Sarutobi watched as the boy grit his teeth in pain. I didn't realize he could! Or does the Kyuubi have something to do with this…

'What an intense feeling!' Nibi said, 'So this is the Kyuubi's power…'

'This is the Kyuubi? It's so potent, and that bloodlust…' Yugito felt a trickle of sweat pour down her face.

Temari, Kankurou and Baki were also shocked and to be honest, fearful at the feeling of power emanating from the blond.

What kind of power is this! asked Temari.

I can't believe he is actually consciously using its chakra! Kakashi looked at his Genin in shock, a trickle of sweat formed on his brow, When did he learn to draw upon it?

Many of the genin were doing far worse than the others. Shino was beginning to sweat under the intense pressure and killing intent emitting from Naruto. Hinata looked like she was about to pass out. Sakura and Ino were trembling as the yokai washed over them. Shikamaru was sweating under the intensity of the powerful and vile feeling chakra; however he was also staring at the blond like he was some kind of puzzle.

It was Sasuke however that was doing the worst. Despite the fact that the killing intent was far greater than any he had ever felt, he was glaring at the blond.

How can he have that much power! It's not possible! He felt that he should have that power! The cursed seal on his neck flared a little bit, only for the seal on his neck to force it back down.

Naruto growled in agony as he felt Kyuubi's chakra suddenly burst, the ground under him splintered and cracked. Then bones shot out of Naruto's stump, forming the shape of an arm and hand as blood splattered everywhere. Kyuubi's yokai began to cover the bony appendages, the red energy flowing over it. Everyone watched in a mixture of shock and awe as muscles began to form along the bone, crawling and writhing like a phantom. When the muscles had finished forming new skin began to crawl along his arm, starting at the shoulder.

When the pain stopped Naruto sighed in relief before moving his hand in front of his face and clenching it to test the nerves, 'You were right Kyu, that hurt like a bitch! Still, thanks for the help.'

'Your welcome Naruto,' Kyuubi replied, caught slightly off guard by him thanking her. 'By the way I think I have a way to beat Shukaku's vessel.'

'Well lay it on me then, cuz I'm running on empty.'

'If you can heat that sand armor on his skin to the point it turns to glass, and infuse it with my yokai, it will trap him inside.'

'Only problem is I don't have a fire jutsu, and I don't know if there are any fire jutsu that would be powerful enough to do that.'

'Don't worry, that's where I come in. I'll give you some of my yokai, then just direct it to your arms and I'll take care of the rest.'
