Welcome to my den everyone I am the Undead Kitsune. To those who are reading this fanfic I thank you and hope you enjoy it. As this is my first story I would gladly accept any constructive criticism, however I am not one for flames as such they will be extinguished on sight. And before I forget I do not own anything from either the Naruto or the Mortal Kombat universe, they all belong to their respective owners... for now.

With that said on to the tale.

Konoha

5 year old Uzumaki Naruto was not having a very good day. So far he has been kicked out of 3 stores, been hit over the head with a broom on 4 separate instances, and had 12 rocks thrown at him. And it wasn't even noon yet! The young Jinchuuriki just couldn't catch a break it seemed as almost every adult in the village hated him.

"Hey Kyuubi, do you think they will ever get over their hatred for me?" thought the young blonde.

"I don't know Naruto-kun, I honestly don't know." Was the response he got. The response however was only heard by Naruto as it came from inside himself, or more specifically it came from the Bijuu sealed in him, the Kyuubi no Kitsune (Nine-Tailed Fox).

5 years ago the Kyuubi had attacked the village leaving a massive amount of destruction in its wake. It killed a lot of people, and almost destroyed the village before it has stopped by the Yondaime Hokage (Fourth Fire Shadow) who gave his life to seal the beast within the newborn Naruto. He found out about the Kyuubi 2 years ago after a trip to the hospital due to some severe injuries from a fight he lost. Naruto came to trust Kyuubi after a few months and Kyuubi has been trying to help Naruto get stronger and achieve his goal, to become Hokage.

He was currently walking next to the river that passes through the village when he heard a muffled cry from the bushes further up the path. Naruto quickly decides to investigate and is shocked by what he sees. In front of him are 3 men and a girl. The men looked to be in their late teens, the girl however looked to be Naruto's age. All of them had the same black hair and eye color, and the men had a red and white fan on the back of their shirts showing they were from the Uchiha clan. The girl Naruto had met a few months ago at the park when she was with her mother. Her name was Uchiha Miyako and she was the daughter of the clan head and twin sister of Sasuke their younger son. She and her mother Mikoto were 2 of the only people in the village that were nice to him. Naruto couldn't understand why Miyako was calling for help, or why she was tied up for that matter.

"Time to get rid of this demon lover, too bad you may have had some potential as a kunoichi but you just had to become friends with that freak." said one man while another was pulling out a kunai. "And now you are banished from the clan and must be eliminated by the will of the clan head, goodbye girl," said another of the men.

As this was said everything fell into place for Naruto, they were going to kill her just because she was nice to him. Not only that, but the order came from her own father. Naruto wasn't even thinking at this point as soon as he saw the one with the kunai start to approach Miyako he ran, he ran straight for them with the intent of getting Miyako out of their hands and away to safety.

Miyako is scared and in shock. First she is knocked out while in her own home, then when she wakes up she is next to the river with 3 of her clansmen and she is tied up. Then they tell her that her father has banished her and ordered her death, just because she liked someone who was not of the clan. She can do nothing but watch as one of them walks up to her with a kunai and raises it to strike. Closing her eyes in preparation for the pain she hears the sound of the blade cutting the wind then the sound of it hitting flesh, but there is no pain. Curious she opens her eyes slowly and is surprised as she sees someone else is standing in front of her. Then she recognizes the person as Naruto she also notices the blood on the ground at his feet and realises that the reason she didn't feel the kunai hit her was because Naruto took the hit instead.

Naruto, not giving the man time to recover from his shock, grabs the kunai that is now in his right shoulder with his left hand and delivers a right straight to the would be killer. Now Naruto being 5 and the man being 18-19 the punch was a little below the belt. The blow caused the man to fall to his knees and let go of the kunai while he held his manhood all the while wondering how a little kid could hit so hard. Those were the last thoughts he had before he felt a blow to the side of his head and fell unconscious.

After knocking out the first of the attackers with a kick to the head Naruto takes the kunai out of his shoulder in order to let Kyuubi heal the wound, while he quickly cuts the ropes that are holding Miyako and gets into an improvised defensive stance in front of her. The other 2 attackers quickly get over their shock and pull out kunai of their own with an angered look on their faces. The same thought going through both of their minds, 'who does this kid think he is interfering in the business of the Uchiha clan?'

Miyako was in shock here were 3 of her clansmen trying to kill her and Uzumaki Naruto, a boy she has only known for a short time and the same age as her, was fighting to protect her.

"Miyako-chan, are you okay?" asked the blonde without looking at her. Hearing his voice snaps her mind back from her shock. "Yea I'm ok, thanks Naruto."

Before they could talk any more the 2 still standing Uchiha rush forward to attack and Naruto grits his teeth and moves to intercept them. One of the men stops and throws his kunai while the other slashes with his. Naruto moves to take the hit from the thrown kunai and block the slash with the one he is holding. He grunts in pain and strain as the thrown kunai hits him in the left shoulder and he is barely able to stay on his feet while blocking the strike. Naruto suddenly gets the wind knocked out of him as the Uchiha that closed in with him delivers a hard knee shot to the blonde boy's gut, as Naruto collapses the second Uchiha charges at Miyako who is still routed to the spot in fear.

'Damn, Kyuubi I need some help, can you lend me some of your power?' thought Naruto to his tenant. 'yes but I can only give you a little and not for very long, remember your chakra coils aren't developed enough to withstand a full tail yet without serious damage,' Was Kyuubi's response as it sent some chakra through the seal to Naruto.

Just as the one Uchiha was about to strike Miyako a sickening snap is heard, followed by a scream of pain from the Uchiha that was fighting Naruto. This causes him to stop and look back, and he is shocked to see the other man on the ground gripping his knee which is now bent reverse of what it should be able to be, as Naruto delivers a punch to the man's face with enough force to make him hit his head on the ground and fall unconscious. As Naruto turns his attention to the last man both he and Miyako get a look at his eyes. Gone are the friendly deep cerulean eyes and in their place were blood red eyes with a vertical slit that promised pain, his canines have lengthened, and his hands now have claws.

'Shit this kid was the Kyuubi brat! If I had known that I would have aimed to kill on sight now he is using his demonic power to make himself stronger. I have to finish him quickly then I can deal with the weakling,' thought the final attacker.

'Naruto, what happened to you?' thought Miyako.

Naruto charges at the last of Miyako's would be killers but the man jumps off to the side and starts to go through hand signs. "Katon - Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Fire Style - Great Fireball)" says the Uchiha as he breathes out a large fireball at both Naruto and Miyako with neither of them having the time to dodge.

"Suiton - Suijinheki (Water Style - Water Encampment Wall)", was heard before the area was covered in a mist as the attack is cancelled out. As the mist cleared the Uchiha's eyes widen as he realizes who had stopped his attack, there in front of the two children was an ANBU with a dog mask. This was the to be one of the last things he would see as a second ANBU wearing a raven mask appeared next to him and took his head off with his ninja-to.

Inu checked Naruto and Miyako over for any injuries while Karasu checked on the other two men. As this was happening an elderly man in white and red robes with a hat that had the kanji for fire on it appeared on the scene. This man was the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. Inu walks up to the Hokage "sir, the children don't have any visible wounds on them the girl is badly shaken but otherwise looks to be ok." "That is good to hear but best to take them to the hospital to get them looked at just in case," was the aged leader's response.

"Sir, of the three men that were involved, two are dead and the third is unconscious. One I killed myself the other was killed by a severe hit to the head," said Karasu after checking the other men. "I want a full report as to what happened here today, see what you can find out´ was the Hokage's reply. 'Just what I need, more paperwork. Thou it looks like Naruto is getting stronger, wonder who is helping him.

Unnoticed by everyone else in the area, the Uchiha that was knocked out was regaining consciousness and heard what was said. This enraged the man as he unknowingly activated his Sharingan which immediately became the Mangekyou Sharingan. 'I can't believe we were beaten by this kid, and the little bitch is still alive.' He thought while giving the girl a death glare.

'Naruto be careful, someone is channeling a massive amount of chakra,' warns Kyuubi. 'Can you tell who or where it is?' 'BEHIND YOU THE ONE ON THE GROUND IS AWAKE!' yelled Kyuubi in Naruto's mind. As Naruto turns to look at the man he sees the direction the man is looking and sees it is aimed at Miyako. "Those eyes, it's the Mangekyou Sharingan, this chakra output can only mean one thing, but how does he know that jutsu!' 'He is using a jutsu! With the direction he is facing the target is Miyako-chan!'

Without thinking on it any further Naruto moves in between Miyako and the fallen Uchiha just as black flames erupt and strike him. He gives out a scream of pain as the flames start to burn away his left arm starting below his elbow. Acting on instinct he clenches his left fist drawing blood and swings his hand at the man. Ketsueki-kyu (Blood Ball), as Naruto says this, the blood from his hand flies at the downed man striking him in the face with enough force to snap his neck. As a secondary effect though since the blood came from his already burning left hand the black flames were on the bloody projectile and have now spread to his target.

Everyone looks on in shock as the black flames swiftly cover Naruto's body. "Naruto don't move I'll try to put the flames out," says Inu as he starts to go through hand signs. "Don't, you are just wasting your time and chakra." Replies 'Naruto' "the black flames can't be extinguished they can only be sealed and you don't have the time to do that, and my healing is only delaying the boy's death."

Miyako looks on confused as to what was said while the same thought was going through the ANBU and the Hokage's minds, 'the Kyuubi is in control of Naruto.' "Don't worry I'm not going to attack anyone, if I hadn't taken over the boy's mind would have been lost to the pain. I'm giving him and you a chance to say you goodbyes while I dull the pain." This statement surprises everyone in the area Naruto then looks at the ANBU, "Inu, Karasu thank you for looking out for me all this time." He then turns to the Hokage "looks like I won't be getting your hat from you eh Jiji, I was really looking forward to becoming a shinobi." He then turns to Miyako "thank you Miyako-chan, you were one of the few people in the village that treated me like a person and not a demon as they called me."

While Naruto is saying this under his mask Inu has tears falling as he curses himself for not taking better care of his sensei's son, the Hokage also has tears falling from his eyes as he to regrets not being able to do more for the boy, and Miyako is also crying. Here is one of her only friends dying in front of her and she can do nothing about it, all she could feel was sad, weak, and helpless.

"Goodbye everyone," as Naruto says this Kyuubi cuts off its chakra to him and the flames consume his body almost instantly and in seconds all that is left of Uzumaki Naruto is ash.

So how was it good, bad, terrible. Give me some feed back and let me know as I said earlier criticism is welcome, just don't get insulting.
