Okay, just to make everything clear, this story was written awhile ago and I ended up taking off this site however I've decided to repost it and many others that I've discontinued or are awaiting a rewrite.

ALL of my active stories are posted on the profile for Fenris187 and none of the fics here will be updated.

Also, I own no IP at all right now and make no money off this free access fanfiction.


Uzumaki Naruto was a strange individual. He considered himself to be a ninja but refused to wear clothes that weren't 'kill me' orange. He was also extremely loud... which combined with his obsession with standing out made his skills at stealth completely non-existent.

He had spiky blond hair and azure blue eyes, while his slightly round face was adorned with a set of distinctive whisker like markings. His baggy orange and blue jumpsuit hid his well toned body, thanks to his stamina allowing him to exercise for hours on end before finally collapsing from exhaustion. He was also quite short for his age, second only to a young girl named Hyūga Hinata… someone he made a promise to.

At the moment he was slowly regaining consciousness, only to be struck down with a headache like no other, he practically felt like Zabuza had just smashed his head in with the blunt edge of his Zanbatō.

It took several minutes for the young blond to dull his headache to a point where he could open his eyes… and he soon found himself confused when he did.

He knew a hospital room when he saw one and he was definitely in one… but he also knew every hospital room in Konoha… and this was definitely NOT one of them.

Slowly reaching for his normally hidden Kunai, he quickly found he couldn't feel it, so he did the first thing he always did when he couldn't find something… he looked… and gasped at what he saw.

His once unmarked arm was now covered with thick, blue lines that pulsed like veins and carried on up his shoulder and over the rest of his body.

Fear gripped him as he frantically searched the room, quickly finding a full body mirror that he immediately ran over to, getting a good look at himself now. He was currently only dressed in his old orange pants, which now ended halfway up his shin, signifying a significant growth spurt. Other than that and the glowing blue tattoos now covering his form, there were only two other differences, his once sapphire eyes were now a dark amber… and he had a horn on the back of his neck.

His train of thought stopped there… he had a horn on the back of his neck... he had an extra piece of anatomy that no one else did… though he had no idea what good it did.

After discovering (quite painfully) that the horn couldn't be removed, the young blond started thinking about how he got into this situation.

Flashback

Naruto was pissed… scratch that he was furious.

Hyūga Neji, the top of the previous year's class, had attempted to murder his own cousin… just because of some retarded family division.

After seeing that, Naruto had promised he would kick Neji's ass, problem was that Neji was better than him at… well everything.

So he needed training… LOTS of training. And who better to train him than his Jōnin sensei, Hatake Kakashi.

But first he needed to make sure his teammate was alright.

"What do ya mean I can't see Sasuke! He's my teammate!" he yelled at the hospitals secretary after being told that Sasuke wasn't having visitors.

"I'm sorry but rules are rules."

"But why? Why can't I see my own teammate?"

"Quiet down Naruto… you're disrupting the peace," a relaxed voice that the blond knew all too well stated from one of the corridors.

The owner of the voice was a young man with gravity defying silver hair, a fabric mask covering his face from the eyes down, while a standard Konoha hitae-ate was slanted over his left eye. He was Naruto's Jōnin sensei, Hatake Kakashi.

"Hey Kakashi-sensei! I've got something to ask you!" he shouted as he ran towards the older man.

"I'm sorry Naruto but I can't train you," the man stated in an uncaring manner, causing him to freeze.

"Huh? Why not?"

"I've got other business to attend to, I don't have time to babysit you."

"You're going to train Sasuke aren't you," it wasn't a question, it was a statement.

"(sigh) Look Naruto, Sasuke is going up against Gaara," the silver haired man started, only to get cut off by the young blond.

"And I'm going up against Neji… the guy that tried to MURDER his own family!"

"Naruto, Gaara is more dangerous than Neji."

"And Sasuke's a LOT stronger than me!"

"But he's not strong enough to beat Gaara."

"And I'm not strong enough to beat Neji!"

"That's why I've found someone else to train you."

"So you're just going to pawn me off to someone else while you go and teach Sasuke-teme some incredible jutsu!"

"Look Naruto, just stop this useless bickering."

"You're supposed to be my sensei! That means you're supposed to train me! But if you're not going to then fine! I'll just train myself! I WILL beat Neji even if I have to make a deal with the devil to do so!" he shouted before running off, leaving a gobsmacked Jōnin in the hospital.

XXX

He was exhausted.

After leaving the bastard he needed to cool down, so he came here.

It was a simple training ground with a VERY battered log standing in the middle of it.

He had spent the past four hours working off his anger and was now both physically and mentally exhausted from his workout.

"My, my… you certainly do like to hit things now don't you," a suave voice stated from the tree line.

Looking towards the voice, Naruto was surprised to see a young man. He had slicked back, blond hair, pristine skin and he wore a black business suit, with an orange tie and a handkerchief in the left breast pocket, while his feet were covered in sleek black, leather shoes. However the feature that Naruto found strangest about the man was his eyes. While one of his eyes was a deep azure, the other was a startling scarlet.

"Huh? Who the hell are you?"

"Not just yet… the first thing I want to know is exactly what you meant back in the hospital," the stranger stated calmly.

"Huh? What do ya mean?"

"What I mean young one is simple… when you said you would beat Neji even if you had to make a deal with the devil, did you mean you would do anything to beat him or were you just speaking without thinking?"

That caught the blond off guard, did he mean what he said back then? Yes… he made a promise to Hinata that he would beat Neji and that is what he would do, no matter what the cost, after all, Uzumaki Naruto NEVER breaks his word.

"Yes… I'll do anything to beat that teme… I made a promise and I NEVER break my promises!"

"…Good, well then, allow me to introduce myself, you can call me Louis Cyphre, you're new sponsor," the older blond stated with a malicious grin.

Flashback Kai

And that was as much as he could remember.

"Dammit… this must be that Cyphre guy's fault," Naruto muttered to himself as he continued to fiddle with his horn, "(sigh) I guess, I've just got to explore huh?"

After deciding his current course of action, he proceeded to the door, before slowly opening it. Outside was a plain corridor with no turnings until the very end. It was obvious that the room he was in was off the main corridor, but that wasn't what caused him to worry, no, it was the small, blue… cloud that was inhabiting the end of the crossroads.

Deciding to risk whatever the strange apparition was, Naruto proceeded to cautiously walk out of the room and towards the cloud, while attempting to figure out exactly what it was.

"What?!" the apparition shouted at him as he got closer.

"Ahh! Talking cloud!" he shouted as he pointed at the mist.

"The hell are you talking about? Stupid demons, you can never understand them," the 'cloud' muttered.

"HEY! I'm not a demon!"

"Riiiggghttt… and I'm a little teapot short and stout," it said with sarcasm dripping from every fibre of it's being.

"Huh?"

"Look here moron… either eat me already or fuck off!"

"What?!"

"You heard me!"

"Why the hell would I eat you?!"

"For Magatsuhi of course!"

"What the hell is Magatsuhi?" the blond asked in confusion.

"You're kidding right?" Naruto could almost see a humanoid shape sweat dropping when it said that, but wrote it off as his imagination.

"Look… the last time I checked I was a human ninja from Konoha… I have absolutely no idea what's going on," Naruto explained to the form.

"Oh… well then, tough shit kid, now piss off!"

"(sigh) what an asshole," Naruto muttered as he passed the anomaly and started looking for any information he could find.

Looking down a branch of the corridor, he saw a door with a strange, red symbol decorating it.

"Well that looks suspicious," the blond thought before heading towards the room, which like the last door he came to he opened just a crack.

"Well it's good to see you awake Naruto-kun," a familiar, suave voice said from within the room.

"Cyphre!" and with that yell the young blond swung the door open, revealing a circular room with a strange drum decorated in countless symbols, sitting in the centre of it, while Louis Cyphre calmly leaned against it.

"Now, now Naruto-kun… is that anyway to great your new sponsor? Especially when he's just about to explain everything to you?" the older blond asked rhetorically.

"(sigh) sorry…" Naruto replied, hoping to find out just what the hell was going on.

"Please Naruto-kun… we both know you don't mean it now don't we? So forgo the false pleasantries and just be yourself, after all, I am sponsoring you to be your normally chaotic self," the heterochromatic individual stated.

"What? Why are you sponsoring me to be myself?"

"Why, the answer to that is simple… you bring chaos and disorder to everything you touch and I have defined my very existence by doing everything in my power to promote such actions."

"Huh?"

"To put it in simple terms, there are three forces that exist, Lawful, Chaotic and Neutral. I am in essence, the leader of Chaos and am forever at war with the leader of the Lawful."

"But I thought I didn't break any laws?" Naruto muttered to himself.

"You haven't… the lawful are those that follow a path set out before them, the ones that would forsake their individuality for the sake of their goals, which is unsurprisingly usually peace, while the chaotic are those that refuse to follow the path set out before them, the ones that will never bow down and lose their individuality and will keep fighting just because they like to," Cyphre explained to the gaping child.

"But what about the neutral?"

"The neutral are those that strive for a balance between the two forces, they are typically rarer than the chaotic and lawful, because the balance is so fine that they could quickly become either without realising it."

"So what's so special about me?"

"My, my Naruto-kun… is it not obvious? During your mission to Nami no Kuni, you converted nearly everyone from lawful to either Neutral or Chaotic… that is a rare gift young one… and one I want you to use," the stranger informed the young blond.

"How do you know that?"

"Now, now Naruto-kun… I'm Chaos incarnate, I know whenever someone joins the chaotic, especially when so many join at the same time," Louis Cyphre informed the blond, "but that's enough explaining about the three forces, I believe you want to know what's happening right know don't you?"

"Of course I do!"

"Well then, the first thing I will tell you is that I've given you a little gift," he stated, pulling a strange, crustacean like creature out of his pocket, "this is what we call a magatama, it is a symbiotic organism that possesses demonic power, that it will transfer to its host… to word it bluntly, it has made you a demon. Now before you start complaining, I've given you the power to defeat Neji, however, due to your new demonic energy, you can no longer use chakra, so that alone is a drawback. Now I believe you met a blue gas outside here, that is nothing more than a ghost."

"WHAT!"

"Understand this, you are no longer even on your own world, this world is currently in a state of chaos known as 'the conception'. This is something you should learn quickly… every world undergoes a cycle of death and rebirth, during the death of the world, several humans will be spared and must create their 'reason' the law that will shape the new world.

In this world, there were three reasons that appeared, however, someone I blessed like you killed all the humans and prevented the rebirth, meaning that this world is trapped in its current state for at least another thousand years."

"Wow…"

"Yes… now I guess I should tell you how to get stronger shouldn't I? in order for a demon to get stronger, they must collect a substance called Magatsuhi."

"Hey that ghost outside said something about that."

"Yes… Magatsuhi is the fuel for a demons growth and is formed by strong emotions, that is also why humans can push themselves past their limits if they are feeling great emotions, but of course, as a demon you should now be capable of harvesting the power and using it to make yourself stronger, however it is also easy enough to just kill other demons and collect the Magatsuhi they've gathered."

"Hold on! Are you telling me I need to kill demons to get stronger?"

"No… just that that is a quick way of getting stronger fast."

"Oh… Can I learn any cool demon moves?" the hyperactive knucklehead asked.

"That depends on the magatama you are bonded with, at one point the Hito-shura, the other person I gave a magatama to, had collected all 25 of them… however he was prepared to let me scatter them again, this time for you. However, should you ever wish to obtain the most powerful magatama, you will have to kill the Hito-shura and take it from his lifeless body."

"And just how strong is this guy?"

"With the Masakados magatama… only about five beings in existence can even hurt him."

"(Gulp) heheh…"

"Indeed… now just so you know, a demon has a physical limit to the number of abilities it can possess, and that number is eight. That means that you can only possess eight demonic skills at anytime… the magatama can allow you to use its skills if you are bonded with it… however you cannot simply learn every skill from every magatama, do you understand?"

"So I can learn eight skills… but I can use any that a magatama gives as long as I'm bonded to it," Naruto stated after thinking for a couple of seconds.

"Correct, however I should inform you that a magatama won't let you use its skills if it views you as too weak, which means you will have to get stronger."

"Which means I have to collect Magatsuhi."

"You're beginning to get the hang of this Naruto-kun… linking the dots that is," Louis stated, causing the younger blond to grin with pride at being complimented for once, "now, let's move onto the next point, this," he gestured towards the strange drum, "is known as a terminal, it can be used to instantaneously travel to any other active terminal in the universe, now before you ask, your world doesn't have a single terminal in it… however I am going to place one in your apartment, though I'm not going to activate it until the day before your Chūnin exams are due to start… by the way, I've taken the liberties of removing that pointless piece of trash from your stomach and neutralising it… so congratulations you are no longer the jinchūriki of the Kyūbi no kitsune, now goodbye… and get stronger, little demon," and with that, the man disappeared… he just vanished with no trace of him ever being there in the first place.

Naruto was speechless… the fox was dead… and all because of this guy. There was currently only one thing going through the blonds mind, "just who is Louis Cyphre?"
