Chained Beast 2.0 (Naruto Quest)

You glared at the bandit, your eyes meeting his (although he couldn't see them due to the blindfold) and unleashed your killing intent. The bandit went pale and began to sweat copiously. After a moment he fell onto his knees, breathing shallow and rapid breaths. You walked up to him and growled, "A fate worse than death will befall you if you anger me! Do you understand?"

"Y-Yes..." the bandit whimpered.

"Good. Now bring me some food!" you demanded. The bandit nodded and ran off to 'his' house to fetch you something to eat. More bandits suddenly swarmed out of the houses and surrounded you, but they were rather easy to break and control. You were pleased with the results, at least ten of these puny bandits were now deathly terrified of you. Eventually you were brought some bread, cheese, and meats, which you combined to make sandwiches.

Compared to the gruel you used to eat, the simple sandwiches were an explosion of flavor in your mouth, which made it very easy to devour as much as you could. When you were done, you looked at your clothes and then glared at the group of bandits. "Find me clothes that fit me properly."

They all scurried away and quickly brought you various bits of clothing. No doubt children's clothes from the houses they raided. You quickly removed the stolen clothes and put on a simple black shirt and pants that fit you rather well. At the very least you wouldn't feel uncomfortable. Before you could command the bandits further, you saw someone walking into the town. It was a tall man, bald, and only wore a tattered black vest and cream colored pants. Slung across his shoulders was a large axe.

"The hell are all of you doing?!" a large man shouted, gaining every bandit's attention.

"O-Oh! Boss!" they all cried out.

"Boss? So you lead these pitiful fools?" you asked, stepping up to the leader.

"Huh? The hell is a kid doing here? And why the hell haven't you killed her?" the boss asked, ignoring you completely.

"She's...terrifying..." one bandit meekly answered. Apperently disgusted with that answer, the boss gripped his axe and swiftly cut the bandit down.

"Anyone else a damn pussy? It's just a little girl!" the boss yelled.

"I have taken over while you were gone. If you submit to me, then you may live," you calmly said.

"Big words for a little kid!" the boss growled. You glared at him (through your blindfold, of course) and unleashed your killing intent. The boss's eyes widened in shock, but otherwise it didn't bring him to heel like his cronies. "Alright kid, I got to hand it to ya, that was impressive. But don't get cocky!"

He suddenly thrusted his foot out and kicked your square in the ribs. You gasped in pain as you were sent backwards, sprawling on the ground. "You bastard!" you snarled, getting to your feet quickly enough.

"See guys? She has the bark, but no bite! She's still a little girl!" the boss said with a large smile. "Now c'mon, let's capture her! We can sell her off for a nice price..."

The nine other bandits now moved towards their boss, looking at you fiercely. They were mere bandits, not even real shinobi from what you could tell, but could your feeble, incompletely trained body even do anything? You had the Byakugan and a wooden spear, and some very basic jutsu.

You could run away and escape, but something about the boss bandit made your blood boil. All you have been doing is run away! You were not a scared little girl! You were Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox! The strongest of all Bijuu! You would not be cowed by these humans! By the end of the hour, the ground will be softened by their blood!

Determined to kill these bandits, you hefted the sharpened stick and prepared for a fight...

What will you do?

[] Use the Body Flicker jutsu to run up and impale one of the bandits!

[] Throw the spear as a distraction, then break into one of the houses to find a real weapon!

[] Make a mass of clones to confuse the bandits, and try to kill them in the chaos!

[] Get away from them and once sufficiently hidden, begin picking them off one by one!

[] Write In.

Despite your determination, you know simply fighting head on wasn't a good idea. You suddenly ran to the left, going between two houses. The bandits made an uproar but the boss shouted, "Split up and find her!"

"Fools..." you whispered under your breath. With them splitting up, you could easily take them down one by one. You quickly climbed to the roof of the nearest house, watching where all the bandits scattered too and planning your next move. One of them was searching behind the house you were on, so you pointed the spear downwards and jumped off. The bandit looked up but couldn't say anything before you thrusted the spear through his throat.

The bandit gurgled and quickly perished, but to your annoyance, the wooden spear broke the instant it got stuck on some bone. Growling, you tried to pull out the sharpened part, but it was firmly stuck in the corpse. You heard footsteps coming by and backed off the body, looking around for a place to hide. You noticed a pile of empty crates and hid behind them as you saw another bandit come into view.

"Fuck! She got one of us!" the bandit yelled. You noticed he was holding a dagger. Common enough weaponry, but it would be much better for killing these fools than a sharpened stick. You waited for the bandit to turn around and then jumped at him from behind. He yelped in surprise as you tried to choke him, but you knew you didn't have the time for that. Putting your long nails to use, you reached up and began scratching at his eyes. He screamed in pain as blood covered your fingers. He fell onto the ground, dropping his dagger and clutching his eyes. You picked up the dagger and was quick to slit the bandit's throat, leaving him gurgling as he bled out on the ground.

You took in a large gulp of air, invigorated by the smell of blood. Gripping the dagger tightly, you jumped through the open window of the house next to you. When you were inside, you heard footsteps from above, no doubt your next target was upstairs and now was heading downstairs to see what the commotion outside was. You sneaked to the edge of the stairs and used the transformation jutsu to make yourself look like a piece of furniture that matched the house.

When the bandit was at the bottom step, you dispelled the jutsu and thrusted the dagger into his kneecap. He fell down with some choice curses, but you silenced him as you did the other bandit by slitting his throat.

"Three down, seven to go..." you devilishly grunted.

"The fuck is goin' on!? Its just a girl!" the bandit leader shouted, now looking slightly worried. He was still standing in the middle of the town, no doubt hoping his underlings could deal with you. It looks like he was understanding who he was dealing with!

You slipped outside while the boss wasn't looking, you'd kill him for sure, but you could tell he would be a tougher challenge. It would be much better to get rid of all the annoying pests before going after him. You moved to the southernmost house where you saw the bandit that you originally broke the will of standing around the front door. You reinforced your grip on the dagger and took a few steps forward towards him.

However, there was a sizable rock in your path that you weren't paying attention to. You slammed your bare toes against the rock, making you hiss in pain loud enough for the bandit to notice you!

"Oh god...all that blood..." the bandit whimpered. You said nothing and ran forwards, but the bandit put his hands up and said, "Wait! I don't want to die! I'll join you!"

"Join me...?" you thought. You stopped in your tracks and looked at the greasy haired bandit.

"Oh thank god...I don't wanna die! I just wanted to make extra cash, you know? Please, I'll help you kill everyone and give you whatever I can! Just don't kill me...!" the bandit begged, falling on his knees.

What will you do?

[] Rush forward and kill him! You will leave no survivors!

[] Let him prove his loyalty to you, make him kill a bandit in front of your eyes.

[] Accept the help, but tell him you will kill him if he betrays you.

[] You don't need the help, but make sure he will always fear you by giving him a new scar...

[] Write In.

"Prove your loyalty to me. I want you to kill one of these men going after me. Understood?" you calmly ordered. The bandit nodded and sighed in relief, but was quickly surprised when one of his former comrades appeared from the house he was guarding.

"Hey, you found her! Get her!" the other bandit exclaimed, walking by him, holding up a wooden club that had metal studs embedded into it. The bandit raised the club in the air, but your new minion reached forward and snatched it out of his hands! With a loud cry, your minion clubbed the bandit as he turned around, sending him to the ground. Your minion readjusted his grip and raised the club in the air before bringing it down for the death blow.

You smiled devilishly and looked at your minion. "Give me your name." you barked.

"Akio..." he replied with a shuddering breath.

+1 Man

"Alright, Aiko, let's continue onward," you muttered. "You gather more of them here, and I'll finish them off. Got it?"

"It's Akio..."

"Your name can be garbage for all I care! Now do as you are told!" you hissed, belting out some killing intent to make him fall in line. He whimpered and nodded. You ran over to the house across from the one you were near and gave Akio a nod. He breathed in deeply before screaming into the air that you had found you. Quicker than you expected, five other bandits converged on the area.

"Where is she?" one of them asked. You gave another nod along with a swinging motion with your arm. Akio shuddered, but did as he was told, braining one of the bandits with his club.

"What the fuck are you doing?!" the other four bandits shouted, beginning to attack Akio. He fended off a few of their attacks but began to get overwhelmed. You used this to your advantage, using the body flicker to get behind one of the bandits and slit their throat! The remaining bandits were in shock, but you used that to your advantage, rushing forward and stabbing another bandit through the throat. Akio took this time to club another bandit, leaving one more to face your wrath.

"B-Boss...!" the bandit cried out, but you weren't having that. You ran forward and with a body flicker, tackled the bandit to the ground. Before he could react, you raised your dagger and brought it down on the bandit's torso. The first few times you stabbed you hit bone, but finally you slid the blade through his ribs. You watched as the light of life was snuffed out of his eyes, reveling in his fear and terror until the blood paled from his face. When you were done, you were covered in more blood and you felt ecstatic.

"You're a fuckin' monster..." the boss bandit suddenly said. You snapped to attention, somehow he managed to walk up to you without you noticing! Your swore and prepared your dagger, but the bandit boss dropped his axe and raised his hands in the air. "Fuck that, I ain't messin' with you."

"So you submit?" you growled, still weary.

"Yeah. I saw how you slaughtered my men, I might be a bandit, but I ain't stupid," the boss muttered.

"Hmph. So cocky before...you even kicked me..." you ominously trailed off.

"I didn't know what I was messin' with! I promise! Look, I'll give you my entire stash I raided from this town, just let me go!" the bandit leader begged. You grit your teeth as you thought of what to do...

[] Fine, you'll take his goods, but tell him if he tries to take revenge you will kill him.

[] He must pay for kicking you, murder him!

[] He can live, but not without a reminder of his sins...

[] Make him your minion like you did Akio.
