Summary – Naruto becomes a man that would make any super villain proud. Instead of making the bad turn good, he does the exact opposite. Villainous Naruto! No Uchiha massacre. Anti-therapist techniques.
Disclaimer – I don't own Naruto, One Piece, Shaman King or HSD Kenichi. Quite the disclaimer ain't it? (Insert awkward laugh while idiotically scratching head here).
AN – Now, I'll show you how a hero can fall. At the age of 5, of course.
"How dare you, peasant!"
Naruto was not one for sympathy. Why should he? After all, he was the most hated individual in Konoha. People disliked him for doing just about anything… Hell, he could save the Hokage's life and he would still be seen as some sort of "evil" that is trying to "manipulate" the good men and women and turn them into "demons". The thought of a five year old boy doing that was laughable at best. So, why would he be sympathetic towards anyone else's problems? He had problems too. Everyone had problems so why would be feel pity for someone else.
But right now, as he was watching a young girl who was also an orphan get bullied around by a bunch of stuck up kids, he couldn't help but feel anger fill him. Righteous, untamed anger was a feeling that he felt often but never was it for the sake of another. It was an odd feeling… the desire of hurting another because you think that they are in the wrong. Why was the world so chaotic? When would it end? When will everyone be able to see another as equals?
There was no answer for that, Naruto mused.
"A peasant like you! Get out of here, trash!" A stuck up voice said, arrogance tuning at its finest.
"I-Im sorry…" The young orphan girl responded shyly, she didn't want any trouble. One moment she was walking down the street, the next she accidentally bumped into some random child. After apologizing, the other child would not stop until she groveled on the floor.
"No! You touched me! Now I have to get this… this… peasant touch off my clothing! Unforgivable." The arrogant child went to strike the orphan girl before Naruto had enough and stepped in. He didn't know why he did but it far too late to think about it.
"Stop! What are you doing?" He said, annoyed that the boy turned his sneer onto him. Those things were just so obnoxious to look at, he thought randomly.
"This peasant touched me! She hurt me as well! She deserves to be punished." After a close observation, Naruto managed to recognize the spoiled child as a boy. He chuckled mentally; the kid looked like a girl with his frilly clothes and long black hair.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Naruto replied in a voice that portrayed his annoyance.
"I am a part of Konoha's nobility of course! I come from a family of rich merchants that own a quarter of Fire Country. My family and I have traveled here to Konoha to visit the scenery. And now my cloths have been tainted by that peasant." The boy replied boisterously. He raised a finger to the orphan girl who was now scared out of her wits at the situation. "She deserves punishment." He finished in an angered tone.
Naruto snorted. "Nobility? You're just some stupid kid." The young blonde back handed the spoiled boy so hard that he fell to the ground and started to roll. Despite the seriousness of the situation, Naruto chuckled.
"Man…that looked really funny…" The five year old turned around to see the orphan girl. Getting down to her level, Naruto estimated her to be a year younger than him.
"What are you doing here? You should be back at the orphanage? Go! Before you get into trouble!" She smiled innocently and nodded.
"Thank you!" And with that, she got away with haste. Naruto didn't know why a girl as young as her was on the streets alone but shrugged it off. It wasn't any of his business after all. Before leaving, Naruto heard a shout from behind him.
"I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!" Naruto chuckled as he heard that.
"Whatever…"
Hokage Tower
"Naruto-kun." An aged voice spoke, hinting disappointment in it. Naruto sighed as he looked up to the man that ran the village. He was a kind man and he was never one to directly summon him when he got into some sort of trouble. The blonde really wanted to hit something. He knew that getting involved in the mess yesterday would get him in trouble. Damn chivalry!
"Can you explain to me why you were seen hitting another child, a son of a noble no less, in the streets?" Sarutobi asked, he was the Hokage and it was his responsibility to make sure all patrons of high class got a good stay.
"He was picking on one of the orphans… I couldn't just let that go." The old man sighed. He respected the action the blonde took. Hell, to some extent, he would have done the same if he were still a five year old child that knew nothing of politics.
"I understand your actions… but you can not just solve things with violence. These people could hurt you, Naruto-kun and not in the physical way either. They could hurt you in a way that even I could not help you." He was trying his best to explain to Naruto the basics of politics, only to fail when the boy simple responded in straight forward manors.
"Why is it so complicated Oji-san? I mean, he was being mean and I stopped him. I'm the good guy right?" The old man showed a hint of a smile at that regard.
"Yes Naruto-kun, you are the good guy but there are people out there that will take advantage of you. They will do bad things… and use power to turn everyone else to you rather than themselves." The blonde was confused at that remark. For a five year old, he just didn't see how people could be so dumb.
"How can people be that dumb? I mean, can't people tell what a bad guy is from a good guy?" Sarutobi sighed, this was getting really difficult.
"It's hard to explain Naruto-kun… Maybe when you're older, you'll understand better." The old man said in a reassuring voice. Naruto was still unsure of all it though, frustrated with the explanations he was given.
"Whatever Oji-san. But if it were up to me, the bad guys would go and the good guys would stay. It's that simple." The boy said in a lecture type of voice, eliciting a laugh from the Hokage.
"Why don't you go home now Naruto-kun. You do have the keys right?" He nodded and went for the door. But before he was out, the old man said one last thing that he would remember for the rest of his life.
"Sometimes life can be a big joke, Naruto-kun. Dumb things happen and people just… don't realize it."
Words to live by.
As Naruto was walking home, he heard a terrible shriek from a random alley. He didn't know why he felt so determined to go towards trouble since it was always best to stay out of it but he did so anyways. Running towards the source of the scream, Naruto saw something that would fuel his anger for the coming years.
The orphan girl he met earlier was being beat down by a bunch of other kids, whom were unknown to him. They looked to be much older than the girl who was four. The attackers looked to be around twelve or thirteen. Running towards the trouble, he punched one of the kids and kicked another. His early shinobi training was starting to pay off well.
"What the hell is going on here!" The leader of the kids laughed.
"One of the nobles paid us to beat up this girl. I dunno why but hey, we're getting enough to get a set of kunai for graduation." The answer the angered the blonde even more.
"Why? She hasn't done anything to you!" And with that, the leader kicked Naruto out of the way to continue beating up the girl. Naruto felt weak as he watched it but didn't stop. Finally regaining his strength, he hit the leader of the group in the privates, eliciting a painful screech.
"Damn brat! I'll kill you." But before he could make that threat come true, a mysterious figure appeared. Naruto recognized him as an ANBU.
"Shouldn't you kids be at home?" And with that, the attackers ran off. Naruto was outraged.
"What are you doing? They should get punished! Don't let them get away!" He yelled only for the ANBU to sigh.
"Shut up, boy. Even if I did, they would get off scot free later on. If you recognized their clothing, they were a part of the high class society we have in Konoha." The ANBU left Naruto to think about that as he checked up on the girl. She was out cold…and bleeding from the eyes and just about everywhere else.
"How is she?" Naruto asked quietly.
"I don't think she'll be able to see out of these eyes anymore… or move with these legs…" Naruto was angry. He was pissed off beyond belief. Just as he was about to explode with a rant, another part of his mind calmed him down. His face suddenly became impassive… Noticing this, the ANBU sighed.
"I'm taking her to the hospital..." Naruto didn't even react as the figure left with the girl in his arms.
He stood there in quiet as he thought about what he heard that day. On how people who had more power could in a way, enslave the people who had no power by offering them power itself…only to take it away. It was inhuman and Naruto would not stand by and watch people treat others like that. It made him sick.
He left the alley. To go look for a kunai…there were always a few that were littered around the academy.
Two days later… Night time…
Seta was a boy that got anything he wanted. His family was rich beyond belief so in a way, he would do anything he wanted.
So when he found a note in his bag about someone wanting to give him a reward for being an honorary citizen, he was blind enough to know that he was walking right into a trap. Seta was told to go alone… so the reward be that much better. As a child of 8 years, he didn't even realize as he was pushed to the ground. He looked up and saw the peasant boy from the other day.
"You! What are you doing here!" Seta sneered at the blonde. Naruto's frown was an intimidating sight but it didn't stop Seta from spewing out ignorant insults like the dumb kid he was.
"You actually thought someone wanted to give you a reward for being a good citizen? You're stupider than I thought…" Seta smirked and looked up at his attacker.
"I'll have you know that as long as my father and mother are still around, you'll get in trouble for this!" Before he knew it, Naruto smirked. A smirk that would make a certain snake Sannin proud.
"Tell me… why do you insist on bullying us regular people?" Seta grinned arrogantly.
"Because I'm better than you. Look at yourself, all dirty and disgusting. I can't believe my father would want to come here of all places. But hey, mind as well show you… peasants what a real human looks like." Naruto's anger was growing but it only fueled his smirk.
"So that attack on the girl the other day… you sent them?" Naruto asked. Seta shrugged.
"I told my parents and they allowed it… What's the big idea? What are you doing here anyways? I have someone waiting to reward me." The boy was too foolish to realize that there was no prize waiting for him…
"You want your reward?" Naruto walked up to him and plunged a kunai in his chest. It didn't kill the boy instantly, something the blonde had planned. He wanted this spoiled brat to suffer after all.
"Here's your reward." Naruto took out the kunai and cut his neck open, letting the pain reel the boy. Afraid of being caught, Naruto left immediately, a smile on his face the whole time.
"If Oji-san won't give them what they deserve, then I will!"
*A week after the murder*
Naruto looked at hands, remembering the blood that was on it when he had killed the spoiled boy. He remembered the look of pure fear that was on his face right when he plunged the weapon into his chest. He remembered the pain that was on the face of his victim… He remembered the look of absolute horror the fool had when he plunged the weapon a second time. Naruto knew he had just killed a human being, a child like him no less.
A seemingly innocent smile came to his face. He had just done the world good and it felt great. After all, it was justice. The other day, he found out that the orphan girl had died from blood loss and it angered him that people could hurt others for such dumb reasons.
They never found the boy's murderer. After all, Naruto hid his tracks well. He was a boy that had the ability to prank ANBU at his age and get away with it. He had great stealth.
Well, he thought he had great stealth.
Hokage
Naruto didn't know why the Hokage was so angry. After all, he killed a bad guy right? He helped other people by killing the people that would hurt them so why was he being punished. The Hokage went from an angry rant to one of sadness.
"Naruto-kun…this crime… while you are a child and cannot be tried as an adult, the council are in control of this matter. I… cannot protect you from them on their turf Naruto-kun…" The old could not help but feel like he failed the boy. It wasn't Naruto's fault that he had no one to raise him and teach him about the taboos of killing another.
"But Oji-san, I killed a bad person! Why am I being punished?" Naruto was angry, a feeling that he was starting to feel more and more often.
"I am sorry Naruto-kun… I promise that I'll do my best to help but… you're in the council's hands now." Sarutobi sighed gravely.
"I'm sorry Minato, Kushina… I have no power over this. The Council will not give the boy a fair trial…"
In front of the Civilian Council…
Sentenced to ten years in Konoha's Asylum for the mentally unstable… Naruto's face showed his shock. Why is he of all people getting punished for doing the world good? He didn't understand what these…politics were. It made no sense to him at all. Didn't they even listen to his half of the story?
Naruto was cuffed and dragged out to the asylum. Many smirks and glares met him across the way.
Eight years later…
After another day of being repeated spoken too as if he were stupid, Naruto was starting to lose his mind. He lived in a freaking box! A space that didn't even look as big as his closet. Over the year, he had more and more time to think. Life was a big joke after all, Naruto had repeated in his head.
Falling asleep, Naruto opened his eyes again to find himself in front of a cage.
"What the hell?" His voice was broken. As if something had taken away his youth and replaced it with the soul of a broken man.
"…Well…looks like you finally lost it enough to come to me… Now boy, do you want to be free?" Naruto nodded. Figuring that this thing in front of him was just another figment of his imagination.
"Well…come here and release this paper." Naruto walked up to the cage and right before ripping the seal, he smirked and jumped back, surprising the giant figure that he had just identified as a fox.
"What is the meaning of this? Don't you want to leave?" Naruto laughed manically.
"I would have… but seeing as how I'm smart enough to not follow the orders of something that looks like a fox. A demon fox too… Tell me, why the hell are you here and where am I?" It was nothing but pure instinct that drove Naruto to do this. One moment, he was broken and the next, he was back to common logic.
"… Your mindscape… Now tell me, do you know who I am?" Naruto shrugged.
"Some Kyuubi wanna-be? You sure look the part from the books in the orphanage." This elicited another insane laughter from the blonde. Eight years inside an asylum for the mentally unstable was clearly not good for his head.
"You are nothing like my former containers… but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Tell me boy… what do you think of this world?" The Kyuubi asked. He was smart enough to know that responding to the blonds little "joke" would only fuel his desire to make another so he tried to change the conversation before the demon got truly annoyed.
"This world?" Naruto asked with a seemingly innocent face. The Kyuubi was not fooled though, so he was not surprised by the blonde's sudden smirk.
"This world is a JOKE!" He laughed manically. The Kyuubi saw this and smirked…maybe his new container wouldn't be so boring after all.
"What would you do if I told you, that I could give you the power to make any joke…a reality?" Naruto's face turned from insane to apathetic within a matter of seconds. His hands up to his face in a thinking like manner.
"I dunno…" He started out but then his eyes suddenly took a turn for the insane again.
"I've always been taught that making jokes would cheer people up… Hey, I could do that! Like I did to that one kid a while back!" The Kyuubi smiled at his answer.
"Good…Now, I'll show you how to do a demon technique in your mindscape… then we can get the hell out of here." The blonde nodded enthusiastically. It was like talking to a child…that was slightly crazy in the head.
"Cooooool! Hey, who are you again?" The Kyuubi sighed.
"I'm the Kyuubi no Kitsune! Now… have I ever told you about one of my own jokes… it was pretty funny…"
"Really? Do tell!"
"Well you see…I was rampaging through a village called Konoha when this one Yamanaka tried to enter my mind. You should have seen his face when he entered my mindscape… Dude was crapping out his pants!" Naruto laughed… sadistically.
And this was the beginning of a tale to be told throughout the next century…or few.
END
Another prologue...
Yup…super villain, insane, crazy Naruto. I dunno if I'm gonna get reviews for this story since people really avoid these stories…
I know that it was a bit unrealistic but hey, it's a fiction. Shooting fireballs out of your eyes and lightning from your ass is about as real as teleporting yourself from one kunai to another.
Well, I hope you liked it. If anyone has read my "World's Tempest" story, this will be something like that... only Naruto is just…evil in this one.
