Akuma no Naruto
Summary: Naruto is thrown into the past, where he is no longer the feared Akuma no Naruto, and where he is no longer a god of shinobi. Instead he is a pitiful young four year old. Not seeing any way to return to his future, Naruto resigns himself to having to rebuild his fame, reputation, and leagues of loyal subordinates. Dark!Naruto.
Chapter 1
One man, by himself, had taken control of every single shinobi village. All, that is, except for the village of Konoha.
The reason for this wasn't because Konoha was able to resist this man's powerful might, but because he wanted to save its destruction for last.
After having learned of the Kyuubi's power inside of him at the age of seven, he had accepted the monstrous fox's promises of power, in exchange for a favor. The favor, which had led the man to succumb himself in the depths of evil, was basically a request by the Kyuubi to spread the fear of his name...everywhere. And of course, the only way to do this was by either eliminating each shinobi village or by taking control of them.
However, there was a problem with the request. As he grew older, the seal that the Yondaime Hokage had applied to him siphoned away more and more of the Kyuubi's chakra, adding it to his already impressive reserve. As a result, the presence of the great nine tailed fox diminished, until it completely disappeared by the end of his fourteenth birthday. As an honor to the greatest being to have ever walked the earth, the man planned on spreading the fear of his own name into the Elemental Countries. It was this event that led to his gradual conquest of the world.
His first village taken was Kusa, a small ninja village that was not worthy of having a Kage, at the age of fifteen. Within three years, Taki, Oto, and Ame fell, all three also considered minor villages. In the following eight years, Kiri, Kumo, Iwa, and Suna all fell to his might. It is thus that at the age of twenty six, the legend of Akuma no Naruto was born.

Twenty miles away from Konoha, Akuma no Naruto calmly headed towards the village. Calmly walking along the path, he was quickly accosted by a whole contingent of Konoha shinobi.
"Ah, Rokudaime-sama, what a pleasure to see you," the five foot nine blond commented, using the suffix mockingly.
"Shut your mouth, boy! You may have conquered the other shinobi villages, but we are Konoha! As long as our will of fire burns strong, we will never lose to you, you foul demon!" the Rokudaime responded angrily.
"Watch yourself, Rokudaime. I have left your village alone for the past five years. I gave every other village no time to prepare for their demise, yet I have given you five whole years to prepare. I hope you will put up a good fight. Or else I'd be very disappointed," Naruto replied coldly, his demeanor totally changing.
Growling, the Rokudaime swung his hand forward and yelled, "Engage!"
Immediately, swarms of masked and unmasked shinobi flew forwards, weapons unsheathed and ready to attack.
Still standing there, Naruto yawned lazily. As soon as the first shinobi came into range, he struck out with his fist, smashing in the man's face and killing him right away. Spinning around the falling body, he backhanded another masked shinobi, breaking his jaw and sending him flying into the masses.
Eyes shifting upwards, he saw that the sky was blocked out by a sea of black. Grabbing the blade of the first fallen shinobi, he swung it vertically in a nonchalant manner, pouring his chakra into the tip. As a result, a wave of energy shot out, creating a gap through which the sunlight shone through, and creating a rain of scarlet blood and miscellaneous appendages.
"Come to your doom!" Naruto shouted, blocking a number of stabs and swipes at once. Without a problem, he pushed them back and stabbed several of the ninja, before he had to move away again to avoid the numerous attacks.
Two dragons made of fire roared at him, but the blond merely extended his hand toward them, creating a large gust of wind, which dispelled the flames and blew the nearby ninja away. Jumping towards the flying shinobi, he was soon forced to stop his chase by an incoming row of earth spikes.
"You're going to have to do better than that!"
With a maniacal laugh, he demolished the spikes and the man who created them.
Jumping forwards, he decapitated three more men before anyone could blink, and then buried the now dull blade into the gut of a kunoichi. More and more people rushed him, but he easily killed them all, using a combination of stray weapons, his hands and feet, and various jutsu.
The sudden sound of chirping birds drew his attention, his eyes finally landing on a crouched silver-haired man.
"Ohoho, the Chidori," Naruto stated.
The crouched man, ignoring Naruto's words, rushed forward with a determined battle cry, but Naruto simply sidestepped the man and pushed the outstretched arm into a fellow Konoha nin's chest, before pulling out the now bloody arm and snapping it. Two devastating punches, and the silver-haired man was sent flying into the air. From there, Naruto jumped up and axe kicked the flying man's neck, choking him and sending him speeding into the ground. With a giant thud, the silver-haired nin broke his left leg and his left arm, leaving him only one uninjured limb. Added to those severe injuries was the fact that his throat was crushed, due to the amazing force in the blond demon's kick. Only a medic could save the Konoha nin's life now.
Taking advantage of the pause of the Konoha nin, Naruto easily grabbed a kunai from the ground and focused his chakra into it. He then swung it through the crowd.
It was supposed to be a simple Fuuton: Kaze no Yaiba, but instead of a foot-long extended reach, it turned out to be a twenty-foot-long extended reach. Dozens of people were killed in this single stroke.
Rather than continuing using this single technique to mow down the enemies, he chose to cancel the technique, as he found that it would be too easy of a battle if he were to do that. Diversifying his moves, he then smashed the earth with both fists, causing large chunks of rock to rise upwards. At the moment of their peak, Naruto punched forward, shaping the rock into spikes and sending them flying at a speed most shinobi would never be able to witness. With a crash, numerous amounts of people were speared and crushed by the rocks.
Shocked out of their temporary stupor, the Konoha nin scattered into the air, below ground, to the left and right, and from the front and behind, trying to perform a pincer attack from both all possible directions.
Against any other S-ranked nin, that probably would've been the end of them, but this was Akuma no Naruto. He was not just an S-ranked shinobi. He was a god among shinobi, the first to ever close so close to world domination. Not only had he conquered more than one minor shinobi village (which was a somewhat common event), but he had conquered all of them, and he had conquered four of the five major villages! And the most astounding thing was that he had done this all by himself! Nothing could possibly stop him!
Throwing his arms out into the air, he shouted out to the sky. The words yelled were lost as the blond's body was suddenly encompassed with a field of electricity, random bolts of lightning shooting out several times per second. He shouted once more, even louder than last time, and even more bolts of lightning struck at the surrounding nin, killing dozens upon dozens of Konoha nin. The smell of their burnt and crispy bodies began to become overpowering, and the Rokudaime, seeing the losses of the shinobi around him, shouted to the remaining nin.
"Retreat! Full scale retreat!"
Everyone turned tail and fled towards the village, some faster than others.
Naruto calmly followed, striking down any stragglers. The sight was like a shepherd herding his sheep.
In his wake was a path of destruction.
When he reached the massive gates of Konoha, he could see dozens of shinobi standing bravely atop the tops of the gate, all equipped with various weapons. Behind them stood a row of nin with hands ready to perform a range of ninjutsu.
Somewhere behind the gates, Naruto heard the Rokudaime shout, "For Konoha! Attack!"
Immediately, hundreds of kunai and shuriken were thrown, followed by loud shouts of Kunai Kage Bunshin or Shuriken Kage Bunshin. The hundreds of projectiles turned into thousands and tens of thousands, all intent on piercing the blond demon.
He performed all kinds of kicks into the air, and fire burst forth from his feet during each one, blasting the projectiles out of the sky.
Smirking triumphantly, Naruto then placed his hands on the ground, closing his eyes. The Konoha nin seized advantage of Naruto's brief moment of concentration, and three men jumped down from the gates to try to spear him through with their katanas. However, the moment they reached within striking range of Naruto, the blond's eyes snapped open, and water seeped through the ground, rising into the air and forming small bubbles.
Adding wind chakra around the bubbles of water, he condensed them extremely finely. With a flick of his fingers, the bubbles of water were sent speeding at the three nin. Each bubble smashed into the nin and left a perfectly round hole in their bodies. The end result was three cheese-like bodies (in the fact that they were riddled with holes) and a lot of reddish bubbles.
He flicked his finger again, and the red bubbles went soaring at the nin atop the gates. Cries filled the air as many shinobi were struck, some falling forward and some falling backwards. The cries of the now-dead set off even more cries, as those behind the gates saw the fallen bodies of their comrades and friends fall among them.
More and more shinobi leapt off the gates towards Naruto, who stood there patiently. More and more shinobi fell to the ground, dead. And yet, even more kept coming.
"Is there no end to this scum?" Naruto asked rhetorically.
Honestly, he was getting a little bored. The Konoha nin were all weak, none giving him a challenge at all. Perhaps it was time to end this.
His hands blurred through several hundred handseals in only ten seconds.
"Katon: Karyuudan! Suiton: Suiryuudan! Doton: Doryuudan! Raiton: Rairyuudan! Fuuton: Fuuryuudan!"
Ten of each elemental dragon were formed, creating a whole army of dragons. The charging shinobi immediately stopped in their tracks. You would too if you were faced with fire dragons, water dragons, earth dragons, thunder dragons, and wind dragons.
Naruto threw his arm forward, commanding the dragons to attack. And attack they did. The dragons crashed through the Konoha nin, sending many flying, and killing dozens without mercy nor without stop. They finally crashed into the gates, bringing the whole thing down upon the people that stood behind.
Blood was spilt everywhere, as were various body parts.
"Buy us more time! Employ diversionary tactics! Go!" the Rokudaime shouted loudly from somewhere behind the mass of shinobi.
With a roar of determination, the many nin threw their shuriken and kunai, and multiplied them, attempting to stall Naruto.
"Have your past experiences taught you nothing, you fools?" Naruto sneered.
A gust of wind pushed back every single projectile towards their throwers. Many were pierced to death by their own weapons, but only the most experienced managed to survive with minimal wounds, as they caught several of the flying projectiles.
The just-slaughtered shinobi were replaced by a second line of nin, ready to relieve the remaining members of the first line. However, they never had a chance to do anything, as a massive wave of heat swept over them, turning them into unrecognizable lumps of burnt flesh.
What had started as thousands of warriors fighting for Konoha was now only a hundred. Refugees from all of the shinobi villages he conquered were gathered here, and they had joined Konoha to fight against him. But now, it was all for naught. With less than a hundred survivors, the end of Konoha was quickly approaching.
Naruto casually strolled past the massive amount of corpses towards the once mighty gates of Konoha, climbing over them and into the village itself.
Deeper in the village, where the village common was, the Rokudaime and his helpers continued to prepare for their last attack, while the other survivors stood in between the blond and the Hokage.
It was a brave effort, but a futile one nonetheless. A casual twist of his hands, and all of those impeding his way were sliced to pieces by the chakra-empowered winds. Finally, he reached the center of the village.
"You've lost, Danzo!" the blond shouted triumphantly. "Nothing you do now will save you from destruction! Kneel down and show me the sight of you begging for mercy!"
The one-legged man ignored Naruto's taunting, and continued with his ritual.
The demon of the Elemental Countries gave them another minute before he leapt forwards, decapitating one of the members that were helping Danzo.
"Just a little bit more," the Rokudaime muttered. "Now!"
The built-up chakra, which the Hokage and his helpers had been pouring into a seal, exploded outwards in a magnificent display.
"This is your end," Danzo stated smugly, albeit a bit tiredly. "We've only recently perfected this seal." Three of Danzo's helpers fell to the ground, dead from chakra exhaustion. "All we have to do is pour chakra into the seal, and it'll explode." Four more collapsed. "A normal exploding seal is nothing compared to this. And the best thing is, we've put in everything we have here." Danzo finished his rant with a laugh.
"You fool!" Naruto exclaimed, shocked. Two of Danzo's men died.
The shining chakra in the sky began to shine even more brightly.
"Shit!" he cursed, just as Danzo and the rest of his men fell to their knees (or knee, in Danzo's case) and collapsed.
Turning tail, he sped out of there. He only made it to the gates of Konoha when he heard the explosion. The heat came immediately afterwards.
Spinning back around, Naruto crossed his arms in front of him and called up whatever water he could in the brief moment that he had before the fire washed over him. With a shout, he condensed the water into ice, just as the fire washed over him.
The last thing he remembered before blacking out was the intense heat and the thought that he had at last conquered the world.
