Third Person's POV;
“Who attacked my sister?!”. Anther Chakra shock wave blasted out of Dexter and the ground around him caved in. The three ANBU knew that someone with this much Chakra is sure to be strong, so they carried out their plan B.
One of them used a Jutsu that shot a fireball at Dexter. The fire was scorching hot and burned any tree that it passed, however, it was simply snuffed out by a single raised hand of Dexter.
The second ANBU spat high-speed water bullets at Dexter from the side, but they were blocked by a green skeletal arm that suddenly appeared around Dexter.
The last one used a signal Jutsu and a red flare shot with a loud screech upwards and over the trees.
The first one was already moving from his position and jumped to the side, behind a tree. There he created two shadow clones. All three of him moved to different directions and then began to form hand signs.
Such a thing would normally invite the enemy to attack, so his two comrades started their distraction and attacked Dexter with a barrage of high-powered and fast elemental bullets.
Bullet after bullet raced towards Dexter, where they were either dissolved by Dexter's Hungry Ghost path or missed and gorged the earth up.
The whole attack lasted at least thirty seconds and a big cloud of smoke hid the sight of Dexter, Yuugao, and Hayate.
Inside the cloud was Yuugao completely befuddled. The man that called her his sister couldn't be Dexter, as Dexter was only 13. But Hayate called him Dexter and there weren't many Dexters she knew. To be honest, she knew only one, and that was her brother.
The cloud made it impossible for her to see anything, but the same could be said for everyone else, so she made sure to have Hayate secured and then stood up to sneak away.
She didn't know this man and they couldn't hunt her as long as they were fighting.
Her plan was stopped when four 'Dexters' appeared next to her, all of them were glowing golden with flames flickering around their clothes. Black markings were visible on their fire like clothes.
“Yuugao-nee, we're going to erect a seal barrier”, said one of them. “This way you won't get caught in the crossfire”, finished another.
Yuugao thought of protesting, but the four didn't give her any time to do so. They went rapidly through seals and then shouted simultaneously [Four Red Yang Formation].
A red pillar came out of each of them and formed a closed quadrate. They did another set of seals and were then also enclosed in a smaller red barrier.
“The boss will handle them, after that we need to talk”, said one of the four 'Dexter', before all of them went silent in concentration.
“Don't worry*cough*, Dexter will get rid of them”, said Hayate in an attempt to comfort his girlfriend.
“Who is this Dexter?”, asked Yuugao. She tried to look out of the barrier but couldn't, the red wall wasn't see through.
“Ours...., shocked?*cough*I was too”, replied Hayate mysteriously and then stayed silent. Yuugao frowned, a thousand thoughts racing through her head, one darker and unpleasant than the other. Everything pointed that this was her Dexter. He called her his sister, Hayate knew him and there aren't many Dexters, she did only knew one. But if that was true, then what was her Dexter really?
Someone who played with her? Was that even possible? She met Dexter when he was four. A four-year-old couldn't possibly plan something like this. Did the fox has its claws in this? Is her Dexter influenced by the demon?
But Dexter never showed any signs of being possessed. The only time the Chakra of the fox got out was when he was four.
Is Dexter gone since then?! It would explain why he wanted to have a different name, why would a demon want to stay named after its warden? And Dexter is a strange enough name.
Yes, as sad as it seems, the most likely thing was that her Dexter was never there, to begin with. She lived with the demon. It was all a ploy for it to get free from surveillance. Dexter wasn't guarded as much as Naruto and it would also explain why it was so good in everything it did.
And no child should have had this much Chakra, another thing that pointed at the possession.
And now, that the village was in disorder and where Danzo became more powerful the demon saw it necessary to leave.
But why is it here then? A chance? Or something more? It came the moment she activated the seal from Hayate. Did he know?
On the other side of the seal began the smoke to clear. The three ANBU were now eleven, the new eight ones wore ROOT ANBU masks.
“What happened?”, asked one of the ROOT ANBU in an emotionless voice. He, like his comrades, were staring down at Dexter. Battle ready and already building up elemental Chakra for more devastating Jutsu.
“We had them, but then this guy came up and deflected every attack we sent at him. Thought it might be better to call for support, rather than risking to loose the target”, answered the Panda ANBU.
The ROOT Ninja only grunted and then used small, barely visible signs to communicate with the rest of his team. A plan was formed to get rid of this unknown and if possible to take his body with them for study. The Chakra that waved off of this individual was enormous and his eyes were a clear sign for a bloodline.

“Isn't that the Uzukage?”, asked one of his teammates. He gave this man another once over and had to agree. The man looked like the description they got after the Chunin exams. The mask was the same, he had the same height, hairstyle, and color and even wore similar clothes.
This complicated the thing, killing some random Ninja was okay. Maybe even some known Jonin, but a Kage was different. Killing him wouldn't only be difficult, it could also lead to war. That was if someone knew that he was here.
He asked his Aburame subordinate if there was anyone nearby and got a no back. The Aburame also said that his bugs were frightened of the Uzukage. Bugs of an ANBU ranked Aburame aren't easily frightened, so this confirmed that the man in front of them was at least a Kage.
The ROOT ANBU leader made a decision that was heavily influenced by his none emotional state.
“Uzukage, you are hereby arrested for aiding the Nuke Ninja Orochimaru in killing the Third Hokage. Submit quietly or we will use force”.
The area went silent after his announcement and the three normal ANBU looked at him as if he was crazy. This guy was a Kage, he is one of the strongest Ninjas possible and he was frigging angry.
You don't order someone like him to lay down and get arrested. Not if the arrest will lead to an execution.
Dexter on his side was also a little stunned by this. But his anger at seeing his Yuugao-nee covered in cuts and with ripped clothes was enough to overcome it quickly.
°Kura-chan, you think we could use the enhanced Susano'o armor in conjunction with your avatar?°
°Wouldn't that be overkill? We would be over 200 meters tall. Only a Kage could even think about fighting us then. Just use your chains and eyes. The complete Susano'o would only bring unwanted attention. We can use it when you fight the turtle.
Stay with the cloak for speed and the chains for seals and damage° denied Kurama. She knew that Dexter wanted to make a blood smear out of them, but too much would be too much.
°But they hurt Yuugao-nee°, countered Dexter.
°Yes, and it's nothing you couldn't heal. You know what? Use your eyes as well°. Again Kurama shot him down but would allow him at least this much.
Seriously, why does he always want to destroy things? she thought to herself.
“Your answer Uzukage?”, asked the ROOT Ninja.
“Hmm, how about no?”, replied Dexter. He then added Kurama's corrosive part of the Chakra to his output and the bugs that were trying to suck his Chakra out eroded.
It was also the moment the third ANBU finished his Jutsu and he, alongside his two clones, clasped their hands together and began to spit fire into a growing ball of flames. The flames then began to ripple and a body began to form itself. First were the legs, then the arms and finally the head. Now in front of Dexter stood a twenty meters high fire elemental. It had the form of a human without any distinctions. The air around the elemental shimmered from the heat and nearby trees began to catch fire from simply standing next to it. The fire quickly grew into a full-blown forest fire.
The elemental roared at Dexter and a blast of flames shot at him.
°What about now?°, asked Dexter with a grin while blocking the flames with the skeletal arm of his Susano'o. The fire might be made out of Chakra, but the heat wasn't. This meant that he could absorb it, but would still be burned from it.
Kurama only scoffed. °Fine, no gigantic titan of destruction°, said Dexter in resignation. The fire then stopped and a swarm of bugs flew at him. Another burst of Chakra got rid of these nasty buggers and he created a third arm out of his Bijuu-cloak. The arm shot forwards and punched the elemental in the gut.
The thing was forced bag wards from the blow but then grabbed the glowing Chakra arm from Dexter in a hopeless effort to burn the appendage.
Spears made out of hardened rock shot out from the ground and speeded at Dexter's left body. Those were blocked by golden chains that sprung from Dexter's back. But there were still more Konoha Ninja. Another one saw that most elemental Jutsu had no effect, so he rushed at Dexter with a sword, while a comrade of his activated the first three gates and jumped forward with a flying kick.
The rest stood ready to attack at any given moment. It wouldn't be good to have too many in the fight. Two of them even turned towards the red barrier and tried to break it with a Jutsu or two. It didn't work, so they stopped and stood guard.
The Ninja with open gates reached Dexter first and his kick cracked one of the rips of Dexter's Susano'o. The green second right arm of Dexter's Susano'o battered him aside but didn't do any damage. The ROOT Ninja was skilled enough to use the incoming attack as a springboard to launch himself away from Dexter.
This made room for the sword-wielding Ninja. His Chakra enhanced blade pierced at Dexter, aimed between the rips of his skeletal defense. And then was blocked by a metal tail that came out of Dexter's back.
“How many hidden things has this guy?”, asked one of the first three ANBU.
The sword was broken by a twist of the tail and a transformed arm of Dexter pointed directly at the face of the ROOT Ninja. The Ninja would have looked surprised, maybe even frightened, if he had any emotions. He had none, so he made no expression when a Chakra laser evaporated his head off of his shoulders.
The laser changed back into Dexter's arm and then grew into a clawed flaming fist. The fist grew in size until it was large enough to grab the head of the elemental. Dexter threw his arm forward and clamped his hand around the elemental's head, from there he activated the Hungry Ghost path and sucked the Chakra out of the construct. It shrunk in size until it flickered out of existence.
Gone was the S-Rank fire elemental Jutsu, the only sign of its existence was the still burning forest and the blackened earth.
Now with a free sight in front of him, Dexter saw four of his attackers. So he raised his left hand and activated the God path. The [Almighty Pull] reached out to them and they were pulled forward. The suddenly unstoppable pull stunned the ANBU Ninja, but all three ROOT Ninja pulled their weapons for a counter. Their none emotion training was helpful on this one occasion.
The single stunned Ninja found himself impaled on a Chakra chain, while the other three managed to block their chain with a Kunai. The only problem was that the chain was made out of Chakra, so another link of the chain grew and this one had a Rasengan on its tip. The blue sphere of energy ripped into each of them and shredded cloth, skin, organs and bones.
The wound that was seen in Naruto's Rasengan was only because he never killed anyone and always held his power back.
Dexter wasn't as nice, he killed them without batting an eye. Five were down, that left 6 to go. Two of these six were the original ANBU Ninja, they, thanks to their normal upbringing, had enough emotions to fear and see that Dexter wasn't going down.
A combined attack from 4 Jonin ranked Ninja should have at least scratched a Kage, if not that then moved him, but Dexter didn't move even a single step away from his first position.
It were these emotions that were screaming at them to run. And because they were highly trained Ninja, who knew to trust in the feeling they had in their guts, they run. However, Dexter wasn't up for mercy and formed a miniature fox head on his shoulder. This fox head opened its maw and a mini Bijuudama began to form itself. The small ball of death grew to the size of an apple and shot out of the maw with a small boom!
It reached the first fleeing Ninja in seconds and an explosion that uprooted trees and grounded boulders to dust erased the ANBU from existence.
The other ANBU was more intelligent and used an earth Jutsu to flee. He merged with the ground and traveled underground.
Dexter saw this and was even able to track him with his sensory abilities, yet wasn't able to act. Two of the remaining ROOT Ninja began with a barrage of Kunai and Shuriken. Each had a paper bomb attached and in between these attacks were new Chakra absorbing bugs from the Aburame. These bugs were more resistant to the corrosion and were able to suck more Chakra, before dying.
The Kunai were deflected by chains and the Susano'o, but the bugs began to eat away at his green armor. Small holes began to form in the skeleton of his Susano'o.
Of course Dexter saw this, so he used his [Almighty Pull] at the Aburame. The guy came flying to him but used a bug replacement before reaching Dexter. It was sadly not enough to get away from Dexter. The Chakra of the Aburame gave him away and Dexter used rockets build by his Asura path to blast the forest along with the Aburame into small pieces.
The last one pulled a Seal out of his pocket, attached it to his arm and the run up to Dexter. This would have worked if Dexter hadn't the ability to see small details and the knowledge of a seal master. So he knew that the seal on the arm of this ROOT Ninja was a suicide seal that would kill everything in an area of five meters. This seal would rip up the space and had the strength to harm seriously Dexter.
Six chains raced at this suicide bomber to stop him. The two remaining comrades knew of their teammate's plan and jumped between the chains so that the seal could activate near enough to Dexter to kill him.
They blocked the first two chains but weren't able to stop the other four. So they used their bodies to block them. Each took out another two and the last surviving ROOT Ninja had a free line towards Dexter.
He would have been delighted at his probable success at killing this strong enemy, and then hopeless when he was flung back by an invisible force. But, again thanks to his upbringing, he didn't feel anything other than some pain when his spine was broken by the force of impact with a boulder.
°Tch, the last one got away, he's too deep down for me to sense him°, mumbled Dexter. The ANBU Ninja that took flight underground hid under tons of earth and rock. Each meter made it harder for Dexter to sense him. With the combination of Chakra suppression and tons of earth, the Ninja was untraceable for Dexter.
°I told you I should have used the ultimate Susano'o-Bijuu form°, grumbled Dexter.
°Yes yes, it's not like he can do anything. Even if he tells Danzo, Yuugao is out of the village and we already decided to leave Konoha°, replied Kurama in a barely noticeable sorry tone.
°Let's look after Yuugao and her boyfriend. He seemed hurt and even was sick before this happened. You [Flames of Healing] should help him°, she added and tried to direct the topic from her onto Yuugao.
°Yes Yuugao-nee!°, agreed Dexter. He turned around from the battlefield and looked at the red barrier. Her sister was inside this seal and he kinda feared the coming explanation he had to do.
