Disclaimer: I don't own V for Vendetta or Naruto


Panicked shouts echo through the abandoned subway station in England. The sound of gunfire is replaced by the loud noises of flesh being torn asunder. "Why won't you die?" screams a man as he fires off the last of his bullets.

A masked man staggers towards him. "Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy. And ideas are bulletproof," he mutters darkly. He grabs the man by the throat and lifts him off the ground. The man gasps for air briefly before a loud crack reverberates through the tunnel.

A lovely young woman with her hair shaved off hurries into the scene of the assassinations. "V!" she shouts, running to the masked man's side. He pulls out the sheet of metal that he had strapped under his cloak. They manage to get to the subway car. V says his last words and leaves the events of that night in the hands of his pupil. He closes his eyes for the last time.

Several seconds later, the subway is sent speeding down the tunnel. The viewers surrounding the parliament building watch in awe when the subway car detonates, setting the grand building into a blaze of fiery destruction.

'V can finally rest in peace,' thinks the pupil.

Somewhere, a woman's voice laughs. "Oh, I don't think so, young woman," she giggles. "V's work is not done until I say it is done."

Said patriot appears opposite of her dark throne. She gazes impassively at the masked form of one of her greatest champions. "Where am I?" inquires V, turning in a slow circle. "And why do you hide in the darkness?"

"Ah, my dear V, so full of questions. I will show you why I hide in the shadows," she answers happily. She steps into the dim spotlight that seems to be shining down on the man. A long crimson dress hugs her body, accentuating every curve. "Like what you see?" she murmurs seductively. Her long black hair cascades down her body like a waterfall of desire.

V smiles slightly under his mask, "Madam, should the brilliance of your beauty ever to be mine, I would need to have the reason for my mask removed."

"Of course," she says pleasantly, sliding his mask off easily. He moves to cover his face when he feels the smooth skin of his face instead of the mutilated mess it was before.

He whispers, "How?" The light shines on the woman's necklace. A single word is engraved on the jewelry: Anarchy.

"I am the goddess of Anarchy," the woman explains with a sensual smile. "I am also known as Madam Chaos."

V bows slightly, "I am honored, Madam, but why am I here? Have I not caused enough anarchy in my time against the corrupt government of Britain?"

"Of course," she purrs, softly stroking his cheek. "You have done more than your share of beautiful anarchy and chaos. Your last work was truly a masterpiece worthy of my name. However, another government has become equally corrupt and requires my attention. Despite my many followers, only one truly is worthy of this opportunity."

V frowns and slides his hands into his coat pockets. "And what if I were to refuse?"

She smiles at him, the temperature of the air dropping drastically. "I could let you burn in Hell for all the others care, but this is simply not something you say no to. I give you a chance to continue to spread my delicious anarchy. I will even give you another pupil, should you so desire."

"A pupil," he murmurs thoughtfully. "Please tell me of this opportunity and this person you speak so fondly of, Madam."

Her smile grows as the air rises to a comfortable temperature. She says slowly while she walks in a circle around him, looking him over, "You are truly a genius in your own right, V. You know all the right questions to ask and who to show respect." She stops in front of him and turns away, facing her throne. "This world is different than yours. It is a world full of ninja and samurai. Technology is scarce and the people are no strangers to death. The governments of that world have become so corrupt that their leaders are mere figureheads." She pauses to stare over her shoulder at him.

"Please continue," V requests.

"The village you will start in is known as Konoha. Your apprentice will be whomever you choose, though there is an outcast among them that is a prime candidate for my work. His name is Naruto Uzumaki. He contains a demon in his gut, and instead of being revered as a hero, he is despised and harmed by those that he protects. Despite his best efforts to help, they do all but destroy him. They do not realize it, but his mind is very fragile right now. Having you influence him will be a welcome change to his life," she says smoothly. "Any further questions, my dear V?"

"No, I think you have covered it sufficiently, my Lady," V replies calmly. "I accept your offer. No child should be made to suffer because of a government's inability to govern its people wisely."

She stalks over to him, eyeing him as a cat would a bowl of cream. "I knew I could count on you, my handsome champion," she says seductively. "I will give you the abilities of Chaos, and you will train Naruto Uzumaki in all of your ways." She touches his left cheek and kisses him firmly on the lips. The kiss lasts for several minutes. Time stands still until she finally breaks the kiss and whispers in his ear, "If you disappoint me or bring shame to my reputation, I will make sure you burn in the darkest depths of Hell."

"Understood, Madam," V says pleasantly, unphased by her threat. "When do I begin?"

She grins, "Now!" The darkness swirls around him into dark colors of green and white. "Don't forget your purpose," her voice murmurs from around him. "Or you will pay the price for failure." Her voice fades into nothingness as his vision stops spinning.

He blinks several times and looks around the dimly lit street. Nightfall has already set in. Grunts and crying comes from a nearby alley. He checks his attire and finds it to be complete, down to the mask and knives. V strolls over to the alley to find several drunks beating on a little blonde boy. "Why do you attack one so helpless?" he inquires politely.

"Why?" a drunk roars. "Because he's a demon! That's why!"

V chuckles, "A demon? Has he done anything to prove that he is a demon, sir?"

"No…but he will!" shouts the drunk. His buddies agree loudly.

V reaches into his cloak, "I am sure he will at this rate. But, he is destined to walk down a different path. Gentlemen, give my regards to Madam and, undoubtedly her father, Satan." The drunks stare at him dumbly, unable to comprehend his speech. He charges into the alley with his dark cloak flapping behind him. His smooth gloved hands grab onto two daggers and throw them into the throats of the abusive men, splattering blood onto the alleyway walls. He spins under a drunken punch and shoves another blade into the last man's forehead. The little boy remains where he is on the ground, shaking in fear and covered in hot blood.

"Come, little one. I will take care of you from now on," he says soothingly. The little boy looks around at the bodies.

He exclaims, "You killed them!"

"I did," V replies. "I think taking you home would be a good idea." He takes the boy's hand and walks down the empty streets after collecting his knives and cleaning them with a long handkerchief.

"Do you have a name, boy?" inquires V politely.

The boy sniffs and wipes away the tears in his eyes, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki."

"I am V," the man answers cheerfully. "What do you desire more than anything else, Naruto?"

The boy thinks about it and says, "I want to be the strongest ninja there is!"

"And why is that?" V continues.

Naruto responds quickly, "Because then nobody can hurt me and they'll see me as a person!"

V shakes his head slowly, "You will be recognized as a person, young Uzumaki. But first, I will help you. What are your plans for this week?"

"I start going to the ninja academy tomorrow," Naruto mumbles.

V says calmly, "Then I will teach at that academy and make sure you are safe."

"You're a teacher?" gapes Naruto.

"Sometimes," V admits. "However, you may find my lessons a bit hard to understand at first. Give them some time."

The blonde boy shrugs, "Okay!"

"Good, now lead me to where you live," he requests. "I will take care of you from now on."

Naruto starts leading him and says after a few minutes, "Are you going to be my dad?"

V tilts his head as he thinks about it and comes to a conclusion. "Yes, I will be your father. You will learn everything I know, and more. That I promise you." Naruto and V arrive at the apartment. V clears off Naruto's cluttered bed and helps him into it. After securing the door and windows, Naruto's new father leans against the doorpost, falling asleep standing up.
