Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, Naruto and Shikimaru would get all the ass.
Hey guys new Story. It's a 'what if' story. What if the 4th used a different child? What if Narutowas born withthesymbol for death on his hand? Instead of being the demon child he is just the evil child.
The Fallen
By 4493marine
It was summer and the Village Hidden in the leaves was hot as ever. It was great weather for swimming or cooling off in the shade with friends. It was nice and quite at the pond but not all was well. A 9 year old child lay beaten and left for dead on the ground.
His name was Naruto. His blond hair was matted and his eyes were blackened. He had been born on the day of the kyubbi withthesymbol of death on the palm of his right hand. He had been beaten and abused until he had hidden in the woods, alley's, and sewers. The Hokage didn't care because the fourth hadn't left Naruto in his charge like the recently dead Fox boy.
He lived in the shadows of the city despised and hated. They beat him on sight and he had to scavenge for food. His wounds healed quickly and this only furthered the villagers dislike of him. His only friend was a young girl at the orphanage. Her name was Anko and she snuckhim food and played with him when she could. Until they had caught her. Just moments ago she had been taken from him. They planned on torturing and burning the witch.
He lay there blackness closing in around him. He couldn't move. He struggled upright and followed the screams of witch and evil. He came around the corner just in time to see some men standing over her naked body. He realized what they planned to do. Everything stopped moving except a man with a black suit and a cane.(Think Sean Connery)
"Rape is one of the most horrendous sins." The man said.
"Who are you" Naruto asked.
"Your benefactor" He said "Do exactly as I tell you and your friend will be fine."
The man disappeared and everything started moving again. Naruto knew exactly what to do.
"Stop" He yelled
The crowd turned towards him.
"The demon child is here to save his witch." one of them said
"lets get him and make him watch us beat and rape her." another said
Naruto raised his right hand. His mark started glowing.
"Your sins are many. I am the Angel of Death. Your souls are black with many atrocities." He said
His eyes started glowing and his mark looked as if it were burning. He started talking in a demonic language. Everyone looked around nevously. The fire in his hand spread outwards and formed a black scythe witha red blade. The crowd was deathly afraid now and started backing up. The young boys hair turned black withred highlights. His shirt started straining and two black feathered wings shot out of his back. All he could see was red everything bled red with rage.
"Now you die." he said
Fire began collecting around the bottom of his scythe. The crowd began to freak out and try and run. Naruto slammed the butt of the scythe on the ground and a wave of fire spread out burning all in his path. All except for Anko. the fire stopped when it reached her burning those around her.
The people were rolling on the ground on fire. The forest was rife with the cries of the dieing and wounded. The clearing was heavy with the stench burnt skin and melted flesh. Those lucky enough to survive the fire were soon burnt as the young man slammed his scythe in to the ground again and again, the fire burning outwards bringing on fresh waves of screaming and pain. Soon he stood in the middle of a 20 foot wide burn mark on the ground. The ground was covered in burnt, unrecognizable corpses. Sizziling could be heard. It was the grease from the fat of the now deceased people.
It started raining putting out the smoldering bodies and the small dieing fires. Naruto picked up his older friend and took her to his shack outside of the village. He lay her down on his molding, old bed.
'What have I done? What was that power? I killed all those people. No, they deserved it. They beat me, but that's not what made me mad.' he looked at Anko
'They hurt her. They planned to rape her. That was inexcusable.'
Everything stopped. The dripping of the rain through his cracked roof, the ticking of his dilapidated clock. A drop of water stopped in mid-air. Everything turned white. He couldn't see anything but white going on forever, nothing else.
"Where am I" he yelled
"Your in you mind." a voice said behind him
The man from before was standing their before him.
"Soon you will learn how to come back here and change things to be exactly as you like it." He said
"Who are you" Naruto asked.
"The Shinigami." came the reply
Naruto was confused.
"How do you know about my mark? How to use it? What were those powers?" he asked
"I gave them to you." The Shinigami said
Naruto looked very confused now.
"Let me explain. The world is corrupt and I need another minion on earth. Not for a thousand years have I needed to meddle in human affairs. However recent events have made it necessary. I gave you the powers of The fallen. Beings in Hell that I command to keep the dead inside."
"Why me? Why not send a real fallen?" the blond child asked.
"I need a human to live here not someone I send that goes back and forth. That and your parents died when you were born. One in childbirth the other in a battle with the fox." he replied
"What Fox the Fox demon." the child asked
"Yes and thankfully I recently got her back. I missed her. She attacked because the Fourth was her lover and he cheated on her. It was boring while she was in that child. Anyway back on subject. I gave thesepowers to you, an orphan to start a family of Fallen on earth. Your clan will be one of the strongest on earth." He said
Naruto looked surprised. He would be the founder of the strongest clan.
"Your healing, the mark, the scythe, increased intelligence, the fire, the wings, and much more are part of your gift. You will have to figure them out yourself. Hard work, determination, a visit from me, an important event, and necessity will unlock more powers for you to use. I wil take my leave. Train well with your new powers. I will come to talk to you when I have something for you to do. Oh, and learn to change things in here its very drab." He said just as he burst in to flames and disappeared.
The blond child lay down next to his friend on the bed and fell asleep thinking of all that had happened that day.
Not far away the Hokage and ANBU looked at 50 dead bodies and a further 20 turned into ash. They had never seen such carnage. Not even the most grizzled veteran could look upon the scene without getting sick. The head of Interrogation had been put in an asylum at the sight of the mutilated corpse of his wife.
The Hokage couldn't tell what did it. He had no choice but to close off the whole forest and fence it up. He sighed. First the demon container the fourth had entrusted him with had died and then this trouble with the forest. On top of that the village wasn't recovered from the foxes attack years ago. No one was allowed in the forrest and warning signs were put up everywhere. None of this was needed seeing as the townspeople wouldn't go near it. Stories already ran rampant through town. Each one worse than the last. Guards wouldn't even stay to keep people out. They were to afraid themselves. The Hokage finally had to give up trying to post guards because they ran on sight. He had to trust the stories to keep people out. From that day forward it was known as training ground 44 better known as the Forrest of Death.
Sorry my writing sucks but I write what pops into my head. Now Review. I might make it a Naru/Anko but I think they might just be great friends. Maybe an OC. Don't know. Any ideas.
