'About five minutes to flush the poison, the wound will take longer to heal though because this type of poison causes necrosis.'
Naruto gave a mental nod and sent his thanks to Kyuubi when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked at the hand to see it glowing green with medical chakra. Following the hand he saw that it belonged to Tsunade who was looking at him with concentration and worry.
"Baa-chan?"
Tsunade grunted, "You okay gaki?"
Despite the stinging Naruto gave her a grin, "Hah! It will take more than a little poison to keep me down!"
Tsunade actually found herself smiling at the brave face Naruto put on, not quite realizing that what he said was true, even if Kyuubi had refused to heal him his own natural healing would keep him from dying, it would just take longer.
As Tsunade continued her work, Naruto saw Orochimaru coming at them from behind Tsunade with the Kusanagi still sticking in his mouth. Not really thinking about what he was doing Naruto pushed Tsunade out of the way. This move while brave and managed to save Tsunade from fatal injury, it could not save Naruto from getting wounded. The Kusanagi blade managed to pierce Naruto on the right side of his chest, nearly nicking his heart.
Naruto heard both Tsunade's scream on the outside and Kyuubi's scream inside of his mind. However, it was too hazy to actually make out what they were saying out. Instead he looked up from the sword that was piercing him to see the smug face of Orochimaru. It was then that something inside of him snapped.
With a loud roar that was anything but human, Naruto pulled back his fist and launched it at the now shocked face of Orochimaru. The attack hit dead on and everyone could hear the squelch as the pale skinned man's face caved in. The man had let go of the Kusanagi as he was sent rocketing away, skidding along the ground and creating a trench.
Naruto looked down at the sword, grabbing onto it and yanking it out before he threw it in the dirt. When he looked back up his eyes were not the blue that most people saw, nor even the red that signified Kyuubi's youki being used. They were purple with black slits running down the middle.
His transformation soon became more than just his eyes as his whisker marks began to thicken, becoming jagged lines much like when he was using Kyuubi's youki. His ears became pointed at the tips, making them look akin to elf ears. His nails grew thicker, longer and sharper along with his canines. However, it was his hair that had the most drastic change, going from its golden blond to deep blood red and lengthening. It swept back over his forehead and then began to move down, segmenting into ten separate spikes that looked reminiscent of tails.
Everyone there was too shocked by this transformation to do anything more than gape. None of them had ever seen this kind of thing happen before, it was similar to the transformation that the Inuzuka went through. But they could easily tell it was much different. They would have chalked it up to using Kyuubi's youki, however it did not give off the same feel as Kyuubi's power. It still held bloodlust, but it was much more manageable and was not quite as powerful either. Still it was enough that everyone in the clearing were in awe of the amount of pure energy the boy radiated.
However, Naruto noticed none of this, and as he looked at Orochimaru and reared his fist back. With a quick thrust his fist came forward, before launching out a large purple claw made purely from youki. It ran straight for Orochimaru who after watching the spiky haired blonde's transformation in shock managed to pull himself together and attempted to dodge the claw. However when he moved said appendage followed and the Sannin was far slower than he normally was thanks to the pain in his arms and his battle with Jiraiya, allowing the youki appendage to latch onto him and pull the man towards the now redheaded Genin.
Naruto's left hand flashed out in a spear tip and managed to slice straight through Orochimaru like butter. It was only thanks to the Snake Sannin opening his mouth and regurgitating himself like a snake shedding skin at the last second that he did not get speared through the heart.
Everyone watched as Naruto turned to Orochimaru, waiting to see what he would do next. Said blond turned to look at the pale skinned man, and took a step forward only to fall flat on his face as he passed out, his body going back to normal.
The action seemed to snap everybody out of their stupor and caused Orochimaru to rush Naruto in the hopes of killing him. However, he was intercepted by both Jiraiya and Tsunade, with the latter smashing a fist into his face and the former standing in front of Naruto in a guard position.
Orochimaru stood up where he was and glared at Tsunade, "Why are you protecting that gaki Tsunade? You owe him nothing!"
"Why am I protecting him?" said woman looked at the unconscious, now blond again, Genin who was being attended to by Shizune and her eyes softened. They hardened an instant later as she turned back to Orochimaru, "I'm protecting him because I'm Senju Tsunade, granddaughter of the Shodai Hokage, grandniece of the Nidaime Hokage, and as of today I am the Godaime Hokage of Konohagakure No Sato!"
With a small groan Naruto opened his eyes. The first thing he realized was that he was in the seal, as evidenced by the walls with the seals all over them meaning he was in Kyuubi's house. He sat up and looked around for all of five seconds before he spotted said vixen standing at the foot of the bed with a blank expression on her face and her arms crossed.
"Kyuubi," Naruto said as he swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood up, glad that he could not feel the pain of what ever had happened to him. "Did you bring me here?" When the woman did not answer him but just continued to stare he sighed, "I suppose you're still upset, though that does beg the question of why I'm here."
"You're here because I brought you here," Kyuubi finally said, "Because I had to heal your sorry ass for doing something so foolish as to get in front of a sword without defending yourself!"
"Huh, so that's why I'm unconscious," Naruto said, rubbing his chest as he remembered the sword that pierced him. "I suppose I owe you my thanks, though from the look on your face I doubt you really care what I say so I'll save my breath."
