Deep below the village of konohamaru.. a certain artifact slumbered.. It was POWERFULL, it was OLD, ancient by any stretch of the word.. It had existed since time

Immorial, it was a BLADE a snake like design, and yet had a hilt of a SKULL with long fangs.. it's name had been lost to the ages, it's purpose also... But MANY had tried to

move or claim the blade.. ALL had resulted in death... No person, jutsu, or funjutsu seemed to have ANY effect on it, instead it would pulse ONCE and the person trying

would be dead... It was never heard of even in stories that came down from the sage of the six paths, it was just that OLD... many coveted the blade, but since NONE

could lay a hand on it, it was left unclaimed, left to darkness.. UNTILL an unusual set of circumstances led to it's MASTER claiming it AGAIN.

(konohamaru - night time - market district)

Through the crowded streets, one naruto uzumaki runs for his life, he never understood why people hated him, but they did... Tonight was just ONE example, he HAD

done a small bad thing in stealing groceries, but damn it he was HUNGRY.. it had been two days and he haden't eaten.. We're they trying to starve him to death? He

raced over carts and stalls eaily, his stealth and agility being INCREDIBLY high for his age, looking back every once in a while showing that the civilians had LONG given

up, it was only ninja on his tail now... "ha, you can't catch me, I'm the prank KING".. he boasted as he ran faster and faster... What would be different that night was the

ninja were unwitingly hurding him to the "forest of death"... Naruto.. Seeing the large gates in front of him, did his usual careful observation, and JUMPED THEM.. landing

in said forest, the anbu and ninja were NOT quick to follow.. Naruto after observing the plant-life and the LACK of people trying to hurt him, cam up with the OBVIOUS

answer "I like it here"... and began to explore...The more he explored the more ripped and torn his clothes got, but HERE at least there were no glares, no hidden HATE,

no anger, not ANYTHING... the little 9 year old could be his real self, and that made a lot of difference to him... Naruto walked on until he head shouts...

"the demon brat must be here"... "we chased him enough, I WATCHED HIM JUMP THE FENCE"... and more.. naruto was begging to get scared... He had to find a place to

HIDE.. it was then he saw a big cave and least twice his height and ran into it.. the stones almost an obsidean black.. the cave radiated "stay way".. but naruto not

having any other option ran into it like his life depended on it.. Naruto followed the cave.. DOWN and DOWN and DOWN.. it led to bodies ALL OVER the floor.. some new,

some so ancient you couldn't tell the sex... ALL around a pedistal that had on it the most beautiful and horrifying blade naruto had ever seen... It was a work of art done

by a deranged swordsmith... It was shining even though there was NO LIGHT... Naruto brought his hand up to it... deep in his mind he heard.. "You have returned, MY

MASTER".

A/N yeah I know short. but really how many beginnings have you read and they just didn't make you roll your eyes and want them to GET ON WITH IT... This is probably gonna be different then 90% of canon because I find that a stupid thing to subject myself too, and it's pretty much BRAIN DEAD in the first place. Naruto is gonna be a vampire.. not just ANY vampire... KAIN.. as in the FIRST VAMPIRE... a true bad-ass with a weapon that can equal EXCALIBUR... don't like it? Don't read... FLIP TO ANOTHER CHANNEL... The reaver is KINDA sentient... as in anyone BUT naruto that touches it is a DEAD MAN... No "shocking the uchiha" to let him know not to touch it, you touch it, your a corpse. It also responds like thor's hammer.. AS in it can ALWAYS be called to naruto's hand... I have SEEN threats to kiba, and sasuke on PLENTY of fiction.. The only thing I have a problem with, is he DOESN'T GO THROUGH WITH THEM... You get told ONCE.. then YOU DIE.. that's how I roll. and how NARUTO is gonna roll in this one!

parings: undecided.. probably a harem, but not massive... That gets outta hand very quickly.. the fact that he's a BAD-ASS, invincible, immortal might make a few want to be with him.

oh and there is NO excuse like the LAME-ASS curse of madness to save the uchiha's hide.. HE'S A DEAD MAN.
