The Fruit of Knowledge: Chapter Zero

Introduction and a Warning: Please read.

Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. The author owns none of the characters present in this or following chapters unless otherwise stated. The author owns only the concept.

Author's Note: To all of my readers, I greet you and wish you a pleasant experience reading this story. As fanfiction . Net does not allow author note only chapters, the following contains commentary from Uzumaki Naruto and Kyuubi no Kitsune.

-FoK- A Warning.

Styx: The following story contains religious references. The reason for this is that this story contains magic. Not normal magic, like in a game or parlor tricks, but rather the concepts as I understand them from occult books, as well as my own ideas. I am by no means a practitioner of magic, and know very little, as I have never read any of these books myself. This story may also contain things thought of by HP Lovecraft.

Naruto: Wha?

Kyuubi: This might prove interesting.

Styx: This story will contain disturbing imagery and other overly dark themes. It will have explicitly described gore, and possibly sex. It will have language, but that's nothing new. It will not all be serious, a great deal will be funny, but most will be dark humor.

Naruto: Get on with it already!

Kyuubi: The kit is right, your taking to long!

Styx: Very well. I have warned you all. I will likely not answer questions as to what is from an occult book. This is written purely for entertainment. Let us begin.

Naruto: Finally!

Kyuubi: Let the bloodbath begin!
