Hey everyone; I'm back and I've got a shit ton of material to use at last!
Also sorry I took so long to back to writing this remake of "Eternity Weighs Heavy", but every time I thought of something to start with it would seem like crap when I started typing it. Now on to important news about the changes to the story:
#1. The vampire's names are changing. After looking at it for so long, I really needed new names.
#2. Story will be much more serious than last time. I liked that it was funny, but it needed more badassness to it.
#3. Updates will not occur often. I have a job now so I won't be able to work at it as often as I like.
#4. There will be spoilers
Now on with the story, and I own no one but the OCs. Also for those who know story from last time, NO SPOILERS!
A stormy night had fallen upon Konaha as a lone, hooded figure passed the main entrance to the village. The man had just bypassed the barrier that surrounded the village with ease and was heading towards the hokage tower when an orange and black wearing shinobi walked passed him. For a moment time seemed to slow down as the two looked each other in the eye, both feeling an odd sense of nostalgia wash over them as gold eyes met cerulean, then parted ways as the ninja headed to his favorite place to eat. The cloaked stranger stood still for a second then moved at a faster pace towards the tower.
Naruto Uzumaki or now as it were Uzumaki/Namikaze had changed greatly through the years. He had recently taken to wearing a more standard selection of clothing. He wore black pants, black sandals, and a black, sleeveless shirt even though you couldn't tell due to his coat that was an orange and black version of his father's coat.
Speaking which, his heritage was finally known to the village. As the last heir of the Uzumaki clan as well as the son of the fourth hokage, the council could no longer keep him at gennin level (despite their complaints) and was finally receiving the much deserved rank of jonin. His heritage and his involvement in the war with the remnants of Akatsuki and their undead ninja army had made the civilians and shinobi of his home do a complete 180 in their treatment and beliefs of him. When the information got out that the council, though mostly the civilian members and the elder members, were attempting to keep him at gennin rank simply to keep some form of power over him, the civilians had almost started a full blown riot and demanded he get what was long overdue, and the shinobi had threatened to stop accepting missions which would have been a heavy blow to the economy as well as the village's standing. To make matters worse, the fifth hokage, Tsunade, had reminded them of the alliances he had brought them and if that particular news reached their allies…
Long story short, He's jonin and many council members are now seeking new employment and in one case, a new toilet. Don't ask, you don't want to know.
However let's get back to current events.
He had no idea as to why he felt the need to find the stranger once more but had decided to ignore his curiosity and head towards the best ( To him at least) place to eat in the elemental nations Ichiraku Ramen. As he got closer, he couldn't help but remember all that had happened in the last two years.
The fourth great shinobi war had ended with him killing Madara (again) and the defeat (and unfortunately escape of) Sasuke and Tobi. Tobi; or rather Obito had been what bugged him the most about the war. How could someone so like him when he was younger turn out so wrong? Reflecting on the resurrected Itachi's words to him before his return to death, he could easily have been him if he had given into his hatred. Had it not been for his friends…
He shuddered to think of it.
As entered the stand he found that for the life of he couldn't figure where he had seen those eyes before.
Tsunade was finishing the last of her paper work when her office got suddenly cold and all the lights went out. No normally she wouldn't panic except she had felt this sensation before and dreaded it since the third shinobi war. The last time she felt it her squad was killed with her as the only survivor.
**Flash back* *
Dan's recently dead body was in her arms and her other squad member was drained of blood. She was crying, though it couldn't be seen in the dark, when he was before her. Fearfully she looked up and saw a humanoid form covered in what looked like black liquid with smoke covering his lower body. She was paralyzed at its glowing red eyes as he moved closer to her, then all was dark.
***Flash back end***
Standing before her was a person who was the real reason she had once feared blood. And in a voice that chilled her to the bone said
"Tsunade, it's been some time since we last met"
Gather what little courage she could she spoke in a tone of anger and a little fear replied "I had hoped to never see you again"
"Oh, you wound me. And here I thought we could have a civil discussion, granted we last parted on poor terms"
More anger began to fill Tsunade. The memory of her love dead in her arms flashed again and in a enraged tone yelled "You monster, how dare you show up after all you've done! All those people dead, and for what? To keep-
She never got to finish, as now she had just barely seen a smoke like substance move around him and fear once again filled her as his voiced, while quiet like a whisper, seemed to fill the room.
"Now Tsunade, as much as we could reminisce about old grudges against each other I did not come here to simply converse with you. There is much happening in the shadows and the Uchiha have a new way to domination, and it all revolves around one person we both care deeply for, even if the poor boy doesn't remember"
Her eyes widened as a single name escaped her lips;
"Naruto"
Alright this is what the story was intended to be like. Remember to read and review and tell me what you think whether it is bad or good though I hope you'll tell me why it is bad if you think it is. Also future chapters will have some humor, just had to set the mood with this first remade version of the story.
