-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto looked at his right leg, not quite believing what he was seeing or feeling. Not only was he injured and bleeding, but the scary part was that he didn't know how. He wasn't attacked; his pants were fine if not slightly ruffled from his recent fight with Kakuzu. There were no cuts, piercings, or anything out of the ordinary on his pants. And yet, he is injured, with his pants soaking up the blood coming out from his wound.
'Wait a damn minute.' Naruto's mind was in overdrive, looking for an explanation before he looked at Hidan and where he had struck himself. The same place and the same angle of the wound on Naruto's leg.
'Di….did he use my blood as a medium for some jutsu or curse?' Naruto's eyes widen at that.
"Look what we have here. We got a smart one, a very smart one. You figured it out already, huh? You would have been a perfect sacrifice for Lord Jashin." Hidan laughed maniacally before pulling the spear from his right thigh and stabbing his left one.
Naruto let out a pained grunt. He felt all of it as if it were done to him directly. The pain of getting the spear out of the pierced wound on the right thigh, then the pain of the new wound on his left thigh. Naruto felt all of it, even though Hidan was doing it to himself while laughing and enjoying the pain.
'Kit.' Kurumi called with worry in her voice, seeing her container's predicament.
Naruto gritted his teeth without replying as he tried to think of a way to get out of this situation. He can tell that Hidan had started some sort of seal-less jutsu or ritual with the symbol of blood he had made with his own blood under his feet. That means the symbol is a central part of whatever was happening.
He doesn't have time to test theories; he can either destroy the symbol or do something about Hidan. But that is a problem by itself; the moment he attempts to attack or weave hand signs, Hidan would just attack himself again to inflict the injury on Naruto. And seeing that Hidan is injuring himself to hurt Naruto, any attacks that Naruto may attempt on Hidan could, in turn, hurt Naruto in return by his own attack.
He will need to put his all into reaching Hidan and doing something about this. He could feel his own body and chakra along with Kurumi's own, trying to heal him, but they were stopped by foreign chakra that he felt on his wounds.
Naruto pushed chakra into his limbs and rushed explosively forward towards Hidan with immense speed, holding back a pained grunt from escaping his mouth from the pain that he felt from using his legs.
"Oh no, you don't," Hidan said as he was surprised by Naruto's immense burst of speed, making him pull the spear from his left leg and attacking himself again.
That, however, did nothing to Naruto's immense momentum, even though pain exploded in his body, as he slammed hard into Hidan, who was sent flying back a few meters before falling to the ground, while Naruto fell into the bloody symbol, erasing some of it.
"You fucking brat. What did you do? You interrupted my fun." Hidan said as he sat up and saw that his ritual had been permanently stopped, as the black and white coloring on his body had disappeared.
"You idiot. What have you done?" Kakuzu said as he stood a few meters back
"Who are you calling an idiot, you bastard? And what are you talking about?" Hidan snarled as he turned to look at Kakuzu, who didn't reply but just looked at Hidan's torso.
Hidan looked down at his body, only for his eyes to widen slightly as he saw that he had stabbed himself with the spear in the upper left side of his abdomen, and it had come out of his back. The spear was pushed out slightly when he was sent flying onto his back.
"Oh," Hidan said as he looked at the prone Naruto, who was barely moving.
"Not my fault. He rushed me, and I panicked. He is still alive, I think. I missed his heart." Hidan said, defending himself, even though he felt ecstatic that he inflicted such a wound on Naruto before being pushed out of his lord's symbol.
"Couldn't you just end it quickly and finish with it? You had to screw around. You know what will happen to you if he dies." Kakuzu said
"Chill out, will you? As I said, I haven't kil...." Hidan was interrupted with an enormous wave of dark, malevolent chakra that hit him as it shook him along with Kakuzu.
...…
A few moments earlier;
Naruto is in a world of pain and agony as he lies on the remnant of Hidan's symbol.
He felt that he had stopped whatever Hidan was doing, as he could feel the foreign chakra plaguing his wounds weaken, but it didn't disappear.
'-t'
But that came at a cost, maybe a very high cost. Hidan was able to inflict another injury on himself before being pushed out of the bloody symbol.
Naruto can feel that his abdomen has been pierced through and through. He can feel that the stab would have entered from the upper left side of his abdomen, piercing through his liver and one of his kidney before making an exit wound in his back.
'-it'
He can thank Kami for the small mercies that it didn't get near his heart, lung, or spine, but that didn't mean it was any less painful.
His body was screaming with agony and pain as Naruto tried to move to stand up, but couldn't.
'Kit'
Then he started to feel something metallic in his mouth.
Did blood come up his esophagus and into his throat and mouth?
'NARUTO'
Naruto's eyes snapped open as they changed into blood-red slitted eyes, and his body was flooded with Kurumi's chakra a moment later, after hearing her roar his name with worry.
...…
"This is not good. Not good at all." Kakuzu muttered with panic starting to seep into his voice.
The amount and ferocity of the red chakra coming off Naruto was nothing like he had ever felt before.
Naruto was giving him a hard time, so for some time, he forgot that Naruto was the Kyuubi jinchuuriki due to him not using any of it during their entire fight.
ROOOAAAAAAR
To be continued.
Guys and gals, show me those powerstones.

I hope you all enjoyed the chapter.
(A/N: Hey guys and girls, please, can you show me more support on Patreon, as I intend to upgrade the content that I am doing, and that will also show me that you enjoy my content and want it to continue, as the underwhelming support on Patreon is weighing heavily on me. Also, I will be increasing the powerstone goals for the additional chapter from this week on, as i want our ranking to increase and extra chapter are taking too much of my time, especially with the university semester nearing its end. )
200 power stones if you want an additional chapter
300 power stones for two additional chapters.
350 power stones for a third additional chapter.
I would appreciate feedback, reviews, comments, and power stones from you guys. I would like to read all of your comments. I would like to know if I am doing well and if you enjoy what I write.
