Natzu Raikimaru had heard whispers of a Konoha attack on Takigakure and even though it wasn't a proven fact at the time, he knew that it was truthful. The Leaf Village had taken his village from him and any words about a Konoha attack interested him. He would be joining the side of their enemies and then slaughter the leaf shinobi with his hellish hate. Natzu craved battle and he wished to see the blood of his foes spill out before him. He had never forgotten the day Konoha took his parents and clanmates away from him in the battle of rebellion against them and he felt the momories of that dark day come flooding into his mind.

He saw the pools of blood that his parents were laying in after being nearly hacked to pieces and his terrible rage began to stir up. His chakra began to flare up and his eyes started to glow red. All he wanted in the world was revenge and his Hate Release technique would give it to him. He had driven the emotions of love and compassion out of his body to replace it with a desire for violence and pain. Natzu was crazy and he would show the Leaf just how crazy he was.


Natzu was heading towards Takigakure and then heard the sounds of a battle. His excitement rose and he dashed quickly towards the origin point of the sounds. He soon saw the battle between Konoha and Takigakure, and ran in that direction. 

"Finally a chance to kill some Konoha ninja!" he said to himself with a grin. Natzu put on his clawed Gauntlets and used his Hate Released. His chakra turned red and his eyes glowed like a demon. His speed increased by a great amount and entered the fray. Natzu slashed into the skull of a Konoha shinobi and viciously kneed another in the face. His eyes spotted Keiji Anjou fighting Konoha, but he was too caught up in his blood lust to recognize him and focused on killing Konoha shinobi.

"All of you Leaf Slime will die!!!" he shouted furiously and continued to slice into Konoha ninja. His vengeance was at hand and the only love that was left in him was the love of battle and it was raging fiercely within him.
