In the world of ninja there were many villages and lands. The five greatest were the Lands of Lightning, Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind. The nations were in a constant ever changing balance of enemies and allies. The ebb and flow of the nations created a necessity for the ninja. A way for old traditions to be kept, for knowledge to be gained and kept, a means to employ the people of the nations… But to some there was a more disputed and controversial reason which many considered the biggest of all; to maintain peace amongst the nations. Many called it nothing more than a nonsensical and hypocritical statement made for a politician to keep its body guards. And those people would be right. But it made the idea of a ninja's main prerogative to be peace no less true.

As much as the shinobi and kunoichi fought for and protected its people, there were still some forces that were outside of their control. On a dark October 10th, the Nine-Tailed Fox attacked the great and powerful village of Konoha and nearly destroyed it. But what isn't as well known about the events, is that a similar event had been taking place in the smaller nations between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water. A beast similar in form to the Nine-Tailed Fox, who was known as Kurama was wreaking a similar havoc. The Three Tailed Turtle known as Isobu had been released from its vessel and was decimating many small villages. Chief among them were Uzushiogakure the Village Hidden in the Whirlpools, and Shimagakure the Village Hidden in the Islands.

Uzushiogakure was a proud nation of ninja who prided themselves with their sealing abilities and long life-span. The nation of Shimagakure was a small chain of islands located between Uzushiogakure, and Kirigakure. A nation of few ninja comprised of several islands barely larger than sandbars the residents of Shima were renowned for their use of any and all weapons available (i.e. chains, sticks, and most notably coconuts.) Comprised of fewer than three hundred people and a dozen ninja, they were the first of the smaller nations to be destroyed by Isobu. Soon after Uzushiogakure fell and Isobu went into hiding. As the villages of Konoha and Shima were under attack, two children would have similar events happen with very drastic differences that would lead to consequences the likes of which the world had never seen. This is the story of The Uzumaki Brothers: The Demon and the Seraph.

Hey guys! Jamtrousers here with an announcement, this is a prelude to my newest story. Demon and the Seraph! In this story we will see what happens if Naruto had somebody unlike all the other inhabitants of the Naruto World was to become close to him at an early age. In this story Naruto will have a brother unlike any other (hey that rhymed!) in the story Naruto will have his new brother Zen of the nation Shimagakure by his side. But little do they know that both harbor a dark secret, one holds a demon of great power and vindication while the other holds an angel of the seas. Both will fight together as they try to live as outcasts and overcome the loneliness that comes with it.

Before the flames start, I'll just answer the questions so you can just skip this story if you want right now. Will there be an OC as a major character? Yes. Zen gets a lot of time in the story, but it's still a NARUTO story. He's there to be like the Ron Weasley of the series. Will it deviate much from the original series? Yes. Sorry. Will Zen be like a bunch of other OC's and just make everything OH SO EASY on Naruto and the cast? Meh, things won't be the same. Naruto will have somebody, but having an angelic soul in close contact with a freakin' demon is going to create a difficult parallel to deal with. I'm writing this story so you guys can have something fresh in your reading repertoire and so that I can create something more… me I guess. If you guys don't like it, I get it. If you're as excited for this series as I am awesome! Oh, it's definitely still a NaruHina story by the way… Byebye!
