The New Pale Rider

by Utruk Doomhammer

After the end of the Apocalypse, the Four Horsemen may be long gone, but their story hasn't come to an end, for even they are to be reborn. Follow Naruto Uzumaki as he learns about who he was in a past life, and becomes the strongest ninja to ever exist. For he is the strongest of Nine, and the mightiest of Four. Eventual NaruHina. Stronger, smarter(hahahaha, as if) Naruto.

Hi there people, I just wanted to say that I have had this idea for a while now, and I needed to get it out of my head, so here we go. Disclaimer: I owe nothing, Naruto and Darksiders both belong to their respective creators: Kishimoto and THQ games respectively.

This is a tale from many worlds and millennia back in time, gather around the fire and listen to the tale… The Tale of the Four. Ever since the dawn of time, a war has been waged, between Haven, and Hell. This war was kept in check by an ancient entity; the Charred Council, and their military arm, the Four Horsemen, a sword brotherhood that acted with authority only below the Creator Himself, whose only goal was the preservation of Balance. When mankind came to exist, however, a truce was made, ceasing all hostilities until humans were ready to join and decide the fate of the conflict and all creation, but an arch-angel, Abaddon, was not willing to wait that long, and so, he broke six out of the Seven Seals, unleashing the war upon the human world, eliminating mankind from the universe. The horseman War was caught in the middle of the battle, and was accused for the crime and imprisoned, meanwhile, Death, eldest and mightiest of his siblings, set for a quest to restore mankind, and prove his brother's innocence.

And after many trials, battles, travels and exterminating Corruption from existence in the Well of Souls, he finally succeeded, and thus, from his sacrifice, mankind became to exist once again, in the shattered Earth, however, War broke the final seal, summoning all Four Horsemen together once again, free to finish at last what was started a hundred years ago. The war raged on for many millennia more, until almost all of them perished; Angels and Demons alike, either by the blade, or the pass of time, even the Dark Price, who was slain by the Prince of Peace, even the Four, who were considered almost invincible, but their battle was yet far from over, for the Seven Seals were restored, and the powers of the Four sealed within them, waiting until the moment when they were needed once more, and their souls were sent to the Well of Souls to be reborn, in another world, in another life. Meanwhile, mankind grew, expanding towards many worlds, separated by the Tree of Life, in one such world, Death's soul awaits the time for his rebirth… Into the greatest dork to ever exist, none other.

Meanwhile, a long-thought not-so dead demon plans his comeback… It might take a while though.
