Chapter 1

Thunder rumbled and streaks of lightning danced across the night sky above Hi no Kuni as the weather quickly turned disastrous hammering Konohagakure as a harsh storm appeared with no warning. 'Kami I'm sorry Minato, Kushina.' Sarutobi thought looking out the window of his office with a grim look on his face after reading over the reports of another attack on Naruto. Only this time worse since they decided to dump him somewhere far away outside of the village when the team he assigned to guard Naruto turned a blind eye after a few bribes.

Looking at the reports he felt truly disgusted with how far his sensei's village has fallen when the men that they arrested openly bragged about showing the little demon slut his place for walking around the village among them. "Crow." Sarutobi whispered that one word tiredly and the figure appeared from the shadows bowing in front of him.

"Yes Lord Hokage." With a defeated sigh Sarutobi removed his hat placing it on the desk as he rubbed his eyes showing how tired he trully is after only seven years of retaking the title from his predecessor. 'Please, please forgive me for doing this.' Sarutobi pleaded in his mind as he gazed at the picture of Minato and Kushina whose eyes were looking at him accusing him for even condoning the villagers actions.

"The men that we have in the Intelligence Division's cells leave no trace of your work but break them with your Genjutsu." Running a hand through his hair Sarutobi turned to face Crow when he gave the second part of his orders. "Then find Naruto and bring him back to the village let nothing stand in your way." With a small gust of wind the Crow Anbu vanished into the night leaving without a sound. The Shinobi no Kami stood making his way towards the door when a loud howl of rage shook the village at the same time feeling him with a sense of pure terror as he ran towards his window praying he heard wrong.

"No, Kami please no." Sarutobi whispered looking out toward the forest miles away seeing the form of a giant yellow nine tailed fox taking shape as its form towered over everything else around it. "I'm sorry Naruto." He looked on in dread as the Kyuubi let out another earth shattering roar before it vanished into the night at the same time panic erupted everywhere around him.

"Anbu lock the village down now!" Sarutobi yelled out hearing the screams of fear coming from the civilians down below that saw the Kyuubi's release. 'I'll secure the village first then I'll have them find your body Naruto.' His thoughts wandered to how Konohamaru would take hearing his onii-chan is gone forever since they seemed so close whenever he brought Naruto over to the compound to visit.

With every step he took the little seven-year olds body screamed out in pain but he didn't couldn't stop as he forced himself to move hoping to get away from the village before the masked ninja dragged him back to that hell hole again. He ignored the pain, the blood running down his bare chest and wrist from the wire that shredded his skin when he made his escape and definitely ignored the trickling of a certain substance slipping down the back of his legs as he made his escape. "Have to keep moving, they'll take me back there if I stay in one place for too long." The child whispered through grit teeth ignoring the tears running down his face.

'Your nearing a small lake kit only a few more feet than I can start healing you.' The deep voice grumbled inside of his head as the seven-year old changed directions slightly following the images that appeared in his head. "Okay Kurama tou-san." The childs pain filled voice whispered to the great demon who watched the world from within the shinigami's seal cursing everything around him. Looking on at the area around him Kurama saw the shattered remains of his kit's inner soul where once an endless field with trees surrounding him in the form of a cage now was tainted with places filled with rot as parts of his soul died from tonight's attack.

A roar of pure rage could be heard as he looked at the kit that was his from the very beginning ignoring everything including his own injuries at the hands of trash to get them to safety. "Are you happy Kushina, Minato you gave everything for a village that despises every breath he takes but he's my kit know because every step, every word, and every happy memory he has came from me the demon he now calls his father!" Kurama roared out into his kits soul from behind the large wall of trees keeping him trapped. "You gave up that right when you kept fighting after I was free from that man's control so your precious village can have its weapon back!" He calmed down his thrashing slightly knowing the fragments of those two could hear him from wherever they hid themselves in his kits soul scared of facing his wrath or being in his kit's presence. 'And I once respected her.' Kurama thought watching the kit as he slowly lowered his injured body into the lake to clean himself of Konoha's filth.

"Can you please make it go away tou-san, can I forget tonight?" The broken voice of his kit brought him out of his thoughts of vengeance. Standing up Kurama focused slowly poured his chakra knowing he had to be careful because of the kit's damaged Keirakukei from the forced sealing when he was a child. "Thank you." Was whispered response along with the sounds of splashing could be heard as the seven-year old cleaned himself the best he could with what little time they had.

"You where a fool to believe in humans jiji all of them are corrupt except for the very small few like my kit." Kurama spoke out loud as he closed his eyes wishing he was free to show the scum back in that village what they should truly fear. 'At least you're not like Minato after the changes I made and take after your mother's side more than his.'

Outside the seal after minutes of scrubbing he forced himself out of the water testing his hurt leg first with small steps before picking up his pace hurrying towards the mountain like his tou-san told him too. Holding his ripped shorts the child made his way into a small clearing in the woods showing what he looked like under the light of the moon.

He has spiky shoulder length fiery red hair that he brushed away from his dark blue eyes that framed his boyish whisker marked face. The seven-year old never knew about Kurama slowly fusing his chakra into his body so he wouldn't have to look at a copy of Minato and instead what he would look like if turned human.

He always loved his hair since his tou-san liked it better than blondes for some reason and loved hearing him compare it with his first container's own beautiful flowing red hair. He never knew why his tou-san hated blondes or spoke of his second container with nothing but loathing whenever he brought her up and didn't care because his tou-san is all he has.

The child loved his tou-san with everything he had since everyone else hated him after the people of the village drove out the nice family that owned the ramen stand for feeding him. Sure the old man tried talking with him after escaping his tormentors but why the leader of them would care confused him so he just smiled playing along with his tou-san's plan until they could get away.

"What's that?" Looking up towards the sky he watched as something came closer at surprising speeds. 'Be careful kit it could be one of the Konoha scums traps like last time.' Kurama warned as he prepared himself incase the Uchiha found them again. Nether of them were ready when a yellow ring appeared in front of them and shocked when it spoke.

"Kurama of -ERROR- -ERROR- of sector 1014. You have the ability to install great fear. Welcome to the Sinestro Corps, you will no be subjected to-."

The ring forced itself onto his left hand as it spoke only it wasn't anywhere near ready to try forcing the strongest of the Bijuu to leave his home world even if he hated it for reconditioning on Qward. 'You dare try controlling me and my kit with a damn ring, never again!' The voice of his tou-san roared throughout his mind as the seven-year old watched on slightly curious as the ring tried removing itself but couldn't. It amazed him watching the crimson chakra that normally healed him covered the yellow ring within seconds as its computerized voice called out in pain if a machine could ever feel such an emotion.

"-ERROR- -ERROR- Identity Kurama -ERROR- Identity stolen, Kurama of sector -ERROR-. Direct control initiated -ERROR- overriding program -ERROR-." 'I bow to no man not from this world or the worlds beyond foolish Qwardian. They've delivered us a powerful weapon, now speak out loud the words I tell you kit this ring is ours.'

"In Blackest Day, in Brightest Night, beware your fears made into light. Let those that try to stop what we find right, Burn like my power this Bijuu's new might!" Both of them said the oath at the same time letting the bright yellow light consume them while Kurama wrested control of the alien ring from whoever Sinestro is. The red-head watched on amazed as clothes formed covering his barley clothed body with a yellow shirt that carried a yellow lantern symbol that matched the ring on the front, a pair of yellow shorts with black strips that went down past his knees, sandals, and a long yellow scarf that covered the bottom part of his face floated in the air behind him.

'Sleep for now kit I'll handle this from here.' His kit fell backwards slightly only to straighten when he stood up straight showing crimson eyes as Kurama took direct control. "Lets show the scum of Hi no Kuni something to truly fear." With a smirk Kurama floated high into the air using the knowledge stolen from the ring to make their first construct fuelled by their fear of him.

With a laugh Kurama watched as it came into being forming a large nine tailed fox that towered over everything around him. "I'd love to test you out more but I only have a few more minutes before we have to switch back." Kurama said out loud as an earth shattering roar that would get everybody's attention echoed from the construct.

He shot off into the night letting the construct vanish so he could find the being that crashed on the planet. 'With this we can leave if you want to go off world but you'll have to train some first.'

42-42-564

It took him a bit of searching and guess-work with the knowledge ripped from the ring but Kurama finally found the crash site in the mountains a few miles away. "Found you." Kurama mumbled as he landed nearby seeing the flaming wreckage of the alien ship.

"So my replacement came to watch me die before leaving." Looking over at the being slumped against a part of the ship with shards of metal pinning keeping him pinned in place. The white skinned creäture is grotesque with long limbs, and a hunchback. Normal people would back away in fear of the alien's appearance but he's seen worse when Saiken eats his dinner.

"Hardly this Sinestro person didn't account for a greater will overpowering his little toy." Kurama told him leaning down to look the alien in its eyes as the ring let him know who he's talking with.

"True but he'll come looking for what I've stolen from him." The being tells him pointing over towards the large pod embedded in the ground nearby from the crash. 'No he won't jiji set up a barrier around the planet that keeps this world hidden unless they pass through the moon's orbit first.' Kurama thought knowing that even if they could find the planet they'd be unable to find him without spending months if not years searching first. Seeing the child walking towards the pod he asked his final few questions knowing he'd be dead soon enough. "You're unique child not many beings can overpower the rings programs or show no fear when standing before the unknown."

"This isn't my body White Martian I only share it with the child and as for fear. My kit has it but it is the one thing I've never felt in my many centuries alive so why should I start now with someone like you." Still getting used to how the ring works Kurama busted the pod apart with an overpowered energy blast that had the dying Martian looking on stunned. He blinked looking between his left hand and the crater before a grin started forming as he walked down into the ruble looking for his prize. "Now tell me what this is?" Kurama asked walking out of the crater he made holding an orange scarab in his hands.

"Alien tech stolen from the Reach home world that Sinestro wanted at a price costing him many soldiers so he could have their technology under his control and I stole it at the cost of my life." He started coughing after talking that much and Kurama was by his side so the being that gave them their freedom wouldn't die alone.

"Do you require anything after you pass from this life?" Normally he wouldn't bother offering to help anybody after the number of times humans have screwed his kit over but with the orange scarab and yellow ring they know had a way out and the Martian earned his respect for the gifts.

"Access logs from environmental playback, unlock memory bank 42,5564 Red Earth." He refused the hand Kurama offered as his eyes glowed looking deep into the mind of both the beings occupying the child's body.

Both Kurama and Naruto watched his memories played out from the White Martian's own eyes. The first memory showed the now named Ma'alefa'ak fighting with a Green Martian then receiving the ring after he brutally ripped apart the mind of a female Green Martian hours later to spite the Martian from the fight before.

The next set of the White Martian's memories showed his training at the hands of a large vicious alien called Arkillo and hiding the fact that he planned to betray them the second he had the chance. Then came the part where he let the Green Lantern Soranik Natu leave their fight alive so he could get closer to Sinestro with every small offering as he acted out the role as the perfect soldier for the Corps.

More memories came as they watched him plan and move his pieces letting the cannon fodder kill themselves trying to steal a scarab from the Reach. Then came his first betrayal when he killed the survivor as the scene changes showing him bowing as he handed the scarab to Sinestro hiding the smile he had as everything went according to his plans.

Most of the memories were skipped as the scene changes again showing his second betrayal when he killed the Yellow Lanterns guarding the weapons vault stealing the scarab after the weaponers successful reprogramming. They watched as he fled the planet only to run right into Sinestro himself who knew of his plans from the very beginning.

"You sealed your fate when you thought of betraying me." Sinestro's words rang through their mind as the last memories played out showing the ship he stole after his escape falling towards the planet as the last thought that passed through his mind was of his daughter. The regret that he couldn't see her one last time before dying.

They were pulled from Ma'alefa'ak's memories as the dying alien handed him his Yellow Power Battery. "We both do what we do for are children's safety so take it. The environmental playback has copies of what I know so take what you can carry with you and go before I wipe my existence from this world." He told them knowing with this small act he could keep the scarab out of Sinestro's reach for a little longer.

Within minutes Kurama has the few things that his ring tells him are important as he floats into the air looking down at his predecessor who just closes his eyes with a smile. Flying off he ignores the explosion that leveled the mountain as he flies away needing a safe place to hide the kit.

A month later we find an eight year old sitting on the roof of an inn were he is currently renting a room humming happy birthday as he bit into the small cupcake in his hand. 'Happy birthday kit' "This unit wishes you congratulations for surviving another year Asura Uzumaki."

The now named Asura just hummed as he ate the cupcake enjoying his new name and life after escaping the village just traveling around the Elemental Nations. The reason he now goes by Asura is because his tou-san hated everything to do with Konohagakure so he gave him a new one so it would be harder to find him if they still thought he survived. After flying away to a safe location they fell asleep from exhaustion where his tou-san kept the nightmares away and while he slept they spent the next ninty-six hours inside the seal listening to the ring describe everything about its powers and limitations. After fours days recovering from his escape they traveled to Cha no Kuni where he picked up some clothes to wear besides those made from his constructs.

The eight year old had on an unzipped black hoodie that had an orange beetle design on the back with insect eyes on the hood. Keeping the hood up over his head and a pair of orange tinted goggles over his eyes no-one could tell he used to be the demon brat of Konoha unless they got really close and he'd never let that happen. Under that he had on a white shirt with a yellow lantern design while the black shorts that went down past his knees had three orange dots on the side of each leg along with a pair of orange sneakers he found in the market place. Connected to his shorts by a silver chain is the Yellow Power Battery that everybody ignored thinking it's a cheap lantern while the yellow ring rested on the middle finger of his left hand.

"This unit has finished looking over the maps of the surrounding area and advises our next destination be Ta no Kuni." Asura smiled hearing the second voice in his head that belonged to the scarab that is bonded with his spine. His tou-san watched over him from the seal when the scarab started moving in his sleep and when it bonded with him Kurama was ready to smack it around like he does the ring when it tries acting up only for the AI to be surprisingly docile unless talking about the most efficient way of killing people. It amused the great Bijuu greatly to find out that the Sinestro Corps work forced the AI into a permanent off mode state leaving Asura in control of two of the most powerful weapons out there making Kurama proud of his kit even if he'd never admit it.

"Can we go flying again pleasssee?" Asura begged wanting to fly until he reached the edges of the atmosphere so he could look out counting the stars as he listened to what the scarab taught.

'Sure you can fly there.' Hearing his tou-san say yes Asura hopped to his feet as he made a running jump off the roof. People looked up hearing a childs laughter to see a yellow flash of light as Asura shot off towards his next journey covered in the rings yellow energy.

Author's Notes -

If you got this far you already know the future pairings are going to be Yaoi if not please find your glasses. I took this challenge from swordsmanwielder so I can help two people out by writing this story and cheering my friend up since the pairing she wanted on my other story lost. That and she won't stop bugging me to write her something.

If you're wondering about the name change other stories have done it with theirs because he's pissed off at his parents or for the reason I'm using hiding. Don't like it don't read simple, the back buttons right over there but he's only going by Asura while on his home world.

If you're wondering about the ring picking Kurama here's my reasons. First honestly It could work because the rings no matter which Corps seeks out anything or anyone that could do the job so why not Kurama, the village fears him. Look up the 9 Reasons Green Lanterns Are the Universe's Worst Protectors and it'll point a lot of things out to convince you. Second they hired a squirrel.

He'll be going off world traveling to Earth later in the story but at the moment he's only eight so yea he'd get curbed stomped by 89% of the people out there. I think he'd win in a fight against the squirrel Ch'p, probably. He'll be powerful when he leaves the planet but most of the A list hero/villans will when against him.

As for the yellow ring again why not Sinestro had a green one and he's still an asshole. So why can't someone use a yellow ring for good okay slighty above grey.

Ma'alefa'ak is the Martian Manhunter's brother so I picked him instead of creating an OC for two reasons. The first is if you compare the Martian powers with the ring you can see a few of them overlap like phasing, invisibility, mind alteration. The second is in one of the versions of him, he appeared as a White Martian in Brave and the Bold whatever that is so I ran with the idea.

The barrier around the planet keeps anybody looking from outside of it unable to see anything and if they did get closer it interferes with signals leaving the planet.
