Prologue: Demonic Awakening

There is an old story across the elemental nations.

The story of the corrupted ones, the Darkins.

Great warriors that after uncountable wars and battles, their minds were scarred making them fall into madness. This by itself, isn't something weird or out of normal. Many people losses their minds in the heat of battle. But for a Darkin it is different.

A Darkin is not only a corrupted warrior, it is a corrupted Ascended. A human that due to a ritual became something close to a demi-god. In other words, a Darkin...

Is a demon.

According to the legends, before the first Ninja Village was founded, the Darkins tried to take over the world but luckily, they failed and were sealed into weapons.

These weapons were handed to the strongest warriors to prevent that the Darkin escape or simply hidden away from human ambition.

Now at days, the Darkins are simply waiting for the perfect opportunity to escape their jails and try to take over the world again.

"...Or so the legend says." Naruto Namikaze said as he closed the old book he had in his family library and smiled seeing the impressed face of his sister.

"Are the Darkins going to take over then!?" Mitsuki Namikaze, a red-haired girl with short hair and purple eyes asked and Naruto ruffled her hair.

"Nah. They are too busy not existing. Besides, you have me to protect you from any demon that comes." Naruto said and Mitsuki giggled.

"Mitsuki! It is time to train!" They could hear their mother call them and Naruto sighed.

"Guess that we are done for today." He stood up and stretched his arms "I am going out for a walk. Good training, Mitsu."

Naruto didn't wait for an answer as he left the house and started to walk aimlessly across the village. He was greeted by some people and he greeted them back. Normal stuff.

He looked up to the sky and started to wonder what to do. Maybe he can see if Kakashi is busy or if the crazy snake lady is willing to buy him dango. Maybe he can go to Shikamaru's house and see if he is up to anything...

Scratch the last one, he is never up for anything.

"...Did you hear? They found a corpse in the forest of death." Naruto stopped as he listened to the conversation between to ladies.

"I had. His arms were completely burned and seemed even fossilized."

"I wonder what kind of monster could had done that."

Naruto had heard enough. He rushed towards the forest of death already knowing how to entertain himself.

He was going to see this monster in action.

The entrance to the forest was heavily guarded by chunins. Good thing that he knows how to outran them. Quickly finding a blind spot he climbed the grating and got into the training ground.

The first thing he noted, it was a dark, gloomy and moist place. Not that he is afraid. If he was, he wouldn't enter here in the first place.

The more he walked, he started to notice something. There were some dry parts of the ground with some dead animals around the area.

That creeped him out a bit, but kept on walking towards the source of it. It didn't take him too long to see the cause of it.

It was a scythe of a black greyish color, with a sharp blade that was stabbed into the ground that all around it was dead.

Naruto gulped as he slowly walked to the scythe and extended his hand to touch it out of sheer curiosity when suddenly, a red eye with a silted iris opened right next to the blade of the scythe and looked directly at the child making him jump back out of surprise.

"Oh? Did I scare you? Good to know that I still have this effect on people." A dark voice said that seemed to come from the scythe that then chuckled.

Naruto watched at the object with wide eyes. "Y-You talked..."

The scythe closed its eye and snorted "Of course I did, you, ignorant child. Do you believe I am just a mere farming tool?" Seeing Naruto nod, it narrowed its eye and growled "I am not! I am Rhaast! A Darkin! I would not stand this lack of respect!"

"Darkin?" Naruto asked with a smirk making the scythe, Rhaast was its name? To glare at him.

"Something wrong with that?"

"Only that Darkins aren't a thing. I just read my little sister a story about them. So, how did you talk? Are you a genjutsu?" Naruto asked, smirk still in place making Rhaast growl in anger.

"You... insolent child! How dare you mock me in this manner!?" Naruto jumped back, due to being hit by a wave of KI of the scythe "I am one of the powerful Darkins! The most powerul race in this world! A race that-"

"Is currently trapped in a farming tool." Naruto interrupted him making the Darkin glare at him.

"One more. One more interruption and you are done boy."

Naruto waved his hand in front of him "Right, right. So... what are you doing here in the forest?"

"Oh! You see, I was bored and I decided to go out for a walk and- What the hell you think I am doing here!? I just woke up from my slumber and I am looking for a host!" Rhaast explained and Naruto tilted his head.

"Host?"

At the question, Rhaast got an idea. "Yes. A host to wield me. Any that can resist my power, will be granted with it. Tell me child, you are not afraid of me, are you?" Naruto shook his head and if Rhaast would have a mouth, he would grin "Then, why don't you try to wield me? Who knows? You might succeed."

Naruto thought about it. It was interesting. He is close to start the academy soon, and a little extra boost, might be good for him. Grinning, he extended his hand to grab the snath of the scythe and gripped it.

"You're heavy."

"Shut up and pull me out already."

Naruto placed his other hand around the snath and started to pull with all his strength. Once Rhaast started to get out the ground, he started to feel it.

The power started to run across his veins. It felt great but at the same time it burned a lot. Once Rhaast was fully out of the ground Naruto stumbled back holding the scythe with both hands.

"Impressive." Rhaast said "You are holding me with little to no second effect on your body. You will make a good vessel boy."

Naruto smirked "And you, will make a great weapon. And before we do anything, let me make this clear, I am the dominant one. I'll give the orders and you will follow them. Understood?"

Rhaast rolled his eye. "We'll see about that. Now let's go boy. I can't stand this forest any longer."

Naruto smirk stayed wide. With this, everything will change.

And done! That was the prologue of 'The Curse of Shadows'. Hope you enjoyed. Now, a few things:

A snatch is like the handle of the scythe. I looked it up.

Naruto here is more arrogant and confident in himself.

Naruto generation is 7 years old, about to start the academy.
