October 10, 4 A.K

A young boy was looking for a place to hide for the night. The mobs were usually more viscious on this date. The blonde had an inkling as to why they attacked, but didn't wish to bother Old man Hokage. He felt his face out of reflex hidden under the red scarf Ayame had given him after an… incident with some of the villagers. Beneath the scarf were scars from years past. The first two he had received he thought were kinda cool, three whiskers on each cheek.

Anyway, he snuck into the White eyed compound at night to avoid the majority of the coming mob. After he had gotten inside the outer courtyard, he saw a dark dressed man carrying a bundle. He would've shaken it off but the bundle let out a muffled scream.

Naruto leapt at the man and bit his leg. The man pulled out a kunai and stabbed Naruto in the back. Somehow, in the struggle, the bundle had come undone and Naruto saw the visage of a bound angel looking at him in worry.

Naruto opened his eyes and saw he was in a sewer like building. He continued down one of the hallways, noticing several offshoots each with a picture above them. Most of them sad pictures but still beautiful in their own right. When he reached the end of the central hallway, he saw a giant cage door which he thought was the end of the room. A fact disproved when he saw a large vulpine looking face look at him with dark red eyes.

"Hello, Kitsune-san." said Naruto with a bow.

The fox bowed and replied. "Hello little one. My name is Raziel. You're here early, by about eight years. Why?"

"something's come up, Raz." a tall, well built man walked out of the shadows. He had long pale white hair, green eyes and a slight smirk. He wore clothes similar to what Naruto had seen on the animal mask people, except for the two skull shoulder guards.

"What has come up?" asked Raziel worried.

"Um… excuse me. But who are you mr?" asked Naruto.

The newcommer chuckled and said, "Simon Morin, the right hand of death. Necromancer extrodanare. And also Raziel's probation officer. And the situation that has come up is, sadly, that kunai was coated in a rare poison which ensues death at an accelerated pace."

Naruto's head fell slightly until he remembered something. "wait! What about Angel-chan?"

Simon raised an eyebrow. "don't worry kid. The world outside has slowed to one-one thousandth. Meaning, we practically have all the time in the world to discus your options."

"what options? Isn't dead, you know dead?" asked naruto tilting his head.

"not as much as you might think. You have three choices. One: you go to the other side. However, your angel will be taken to kumo and used as livestock and other less than desirable consequences will take place. Two: you and furry here will more or less become one with all of the things that it comes with. There will be no more you or him. Three: you let me do some of the voodoo that I do, and send you back with Raz as a guardian of sorts and become the first necromancer in who knows how long. You will also become a sort of soul purifier for the dead." said Simon, spinning a book on his index finger while doing so.

"Can you go into more detail on the third one please?" asked Naruto. He didn't really like the idea of passing on, and valued individualism.

"very well. First off: Necromancy. Necromancy is the magic art of death. Now despite popular mythos, we usually don't bring the dead back to life. We can we just tend not to. What usually happens is we conjure a copy of a bone warrior or zombie or what have you. We excel at doing such, golem creation, poisons, curses and blood and bone magic. Most of the brotherhood have looked frail, which you'd think would mean we suck at hand to hand fighting. This is a myth. With our magic, we can harden our bones to be as strong and sharp as diamonds. We also possess something called the soul eye. It allows us the ability to see souls, either currant or long since dead. Thing to keep in mind is, even the blackest of souls can not lie. it's a lot like seeing double but you get used to it. Word of caution, if you see no soul of a person, best kill first and ask questions later. I'll give you a book in case you have any questions about it later.

Second: unfortunately, the method I use doesn't allow you to go back alive, per se. you'll become a being known as a Lich child. You'll still feel emotions and all, will be impervious to most forms of death, you can still feel pain however. You're body will continue to grow till about twenty five and then stop growing and ageing due to your ascension to Lich king. Certain parts of you will however be affected by rigor mortis, so I suggest robes or baggy pants. You'll also be given a high iq. Again, will be explained in the book.

Lastly: the soul purification thing. You don't have to eat souls. However if you do, you gain a bit of their power and purify them so that they continue through the cycle of being. You know, they get another chance at the wheel before they are judged. Raziel will be able to explain better."

"question. Will I have to sleep in a coffin?" asked naruto.

"no, but they are comfy I've found. A little claustrophobia inducing but otherwise okay. Oh before I forget, stay away from silver. It's one of the substances that actually can kill you." answered Simon.

"very well. I chose…"

Outside

The man scoffed and threw the corpse of the boy away from him and started to run. Or would have if what he saw didn't shake him. In front of him was a shirtless wraith with blue runic marks covering his chest, ruined looking wings, and a glowing blade looking thing connected to its right claw. The only piece of clothing that was visible was a long red scarf covering his mouth.

"ah… the land of the living how I missed it. Now, I suggest if you wish to remain living that you place the girl, gently mind, on the ground and run back to whichever hole you crawled from. I have several memories to go through and questions to ask."

The cloud ninja raised his knife and seemed to grin. "I was hand chosen by the third Raikage for this mission. I fear no illusion!" he would have charged if the wraith hadn't rammed his blade through the nins head. Surprisingly, there was no blood or gore. To a passerby it would seem like the wraith was infact an illusion. Sadly for the nin, he was very real. The wraith lifted his blade and arm higher until the blade, and the nin's soul were outside his head. Raziel lowered the scarf, showing a jawless maw, and started inhailing the man's soul. He caught the bundle with the young girl and put her gently on the ground.

Seeing her frietened stare he chuckled. "don't worry, I'll not harm ye. Hey! Maelstrom. Get up already. Your worrying the lass."

Naruto's body shuddered and one of his arms moved to remove the kunai in his back. He pushed himself up and gave a grin. His hair had become bleached, his skin pale, and his clothes had darkened. (thankfully, Raziel had cast a minor illusion around his privates.) he walked up to the girl and began untying her. "You okay, Fey-chan?"

"what ever happened to Angel-chan?" asked Raziel.

"well, I thought about it. Angels are pretty but so cold. The fey are beautiful and full of emotion."

It was then that Hiashi and Sarutobi arrived. Raziel picked the cloud nin's lifeless shell and threw it at Hiashi's feet. "You might want to tighten security around here, Hyuga-san." he turned towards the hokage. "If we may go someplace more private?" at his nod he picked up Naruto and his Fey and put them on his shoulders. He snapped his fingers and a red kilt formed on him.

Inside the Hokage's office, after some privacy seals were put up, Raziel started explaining to the girl named Hinata, Hiashi and Sarutobi. Naruto was currently reading a black book. "where should I begin? And please don't say the beginning, we'll be here all month."

Sarutobi took out his pipe and sighed. "Who are you and what is your connection to Naruto? What happened to him?"

Raziel chuckled causing the hairs on the back of Hiashi's and Sarutobi's necks stand up. "only four short years and I'm already forgotten. I don't know if I should be insulted or flattered. Raziel Kainson. You might know me better by my titles. The Soul Reaver, or if you prefer my contemporary title, The Kyuubi no Kitsune." at this announcement, Hiashi shifted into the gentle fist style waiting for an attack. Sarutobi calmly filled his pipe and sighed. Hinata was reading over Naruto's shoulder.

"and the last question?" asked Sarutobi calmly.

"Oh that's simple. He's dead." said Raziel. At this everyone else, minus Naruto looked at him in shock.

"You're going to have to explain further than that, Ni-Tousan." (second father if I'm not mistaken.) said Naruto… barely lifting his eyes from the book.

After explaining what had happened in the mindscape; Hinata hugged Naruto with tears in her eyes, Hiashi grew a little pailler, and Sarutobi put his pipe down and openly wept.

"Neh, Ojisan. Not a whole lot has changed. I'm still me, just a more resilient me. You haven't failed me, Ichi-tousan or Ichi-kasan." said Naruto. (first father and mother)

Everyone heard clapping from the window. They turned and saw a red haired man with a wide brimmed hat reclining in the window sill. He had prayer beads around his wrist and a falcon on his shoulder. "wonderfully said, Young Lich boy."

Raziel and Sarutobi pointed and shouted, "YOU!"

Hiashi sighed and said, "hello Ryu-sensei."

"Oy, mooneyes… you look older." said the man named Ryu.

Naruto tilted his eyes at the man. His soul was openly weeping and his chest had a cavity about where the heart would be. (no ryu is not a hollow. If I ever write up his entire back story, you'd understand.)

Sarutobi sighed and asked, "what is it Ryu-san?"

"hmm, not much. I have a feeling that some of the next generation will require my brand of extra curricular lessons. Also, I here Tsubaki's kid turns five today. So as a birthday present I want to adopt the little guy." said Ryu with a smile.

Ryu looked at Naruto and grinned. "You'd be 'Natos kid then. You mind if me and little Lee live with you guys? Pweas?"

Naruti grinned. There was something about this insane guy he liked. "Yeah sure."

And break. Hi. First thing of note: it's been a long time since I played Soul Reaver. Second: with this one I may situational bash Sakura and maybe kiba. Here is the plan with the abilities of the next gen.

Naruto: Necromancer/Soul Reaver

Hinata: Assassin

Shino: male modeled after Kerrigan.

Choji: Barbarian

Shikamaru: Mesmer (I can so see him playing with someones head)

Ino: Mage

Lee: Assassin meets Zaraki Kenpachi

Both Lee and Hinata's will be modeled after the assassin from Diablo two. Pairing plan is: Naruhina, Shika/tem, cho/ino Lee/ten/harem? And Sasu/femhaku. Yes Haku lives, Zabuza no idea yet.
