Author's Notes

This is the first fic I've written that doesn't involve me or my friends. It is a cross over, but the majority of it will be Naruto.

Disclaimer: I don't own anyone. I need to try harder.

It was October 10th (I think that's right) and you know what that means. It was the anniversary of the defeat of the Kyubi no Kitsune, but for one resident of Konoha this day wasn't all parties and celebration. Naruto Uzumaki turned 7 this day, but doesn't have a party or any gifts. He has never had any happy memories this day of the year. This was the day when the beatings were the worst.

Currently the blond ball of energy was cowering in a dead-end alley as a group of five drunken men closed in on him. They all had sneers on their faces as they close in on the 'demon boy. The leader of the group stepped forward and spat on the young boy saying "It's time we end our suffering and kill the demon brat once and for all." Emitting cheers from his cohorts as they walk closer and closer to the blond.

Out of no where a man appeared in font of the mob stopping their approach. The leader glared at the man and shouted "what are you doing you weirdo? We have to kill the demon." The man looks up at him and chuckles a little.

"My, it appears I arrived just in time. I'm afraid I can't let you kill this boy. Because if you kill one demon you upset the rest of us. You understand right?" the man says in an annoyingly cheery tone of voice. The appearance of this new voice prompted Naruto to look up t him.

"Naruto noticed that the man had dark purple hair going down to his shoulders. It was impossible to see that colors of his eyes because they were closed in a permanent upside down U. The man had on a black cape with a yellow and red design on the ends of it. The cape covered most of his body, but he had one arm sticking out holding on to a staff. His sleeve was yellow on he wore a white glove on his hand. The staff he was holding was about 4 and a half feet tall and looked like it was made of wood, but on the top it had a red jewel the size of a melon.

"So you're a demon too?" the leader asked the man. To which he replied by putting his hand be hind his head and laughing. Then man still kept his cheery attitude up and says "oh my. You are smarter then I thought. Well it would seem I can't let any of you leave here alive."

Be fore any of the men could reach the mysterious stranger disappeared only to reappear behind one of the men. The man lifted up hi staff and sent the bottom end of it through the man's head coming out the other side. The other men looked in horror as blood gushed from the man's face as he fell to the ground dead.

One of the villagers recovered from the shock to charge at the purple haired man and throw a punch at him. His fist connected with the man's face, but the man didn't budge an inch and kept smiling. The man lifted his hand in front of the villager's face and released a blast of energy taking the villager's head clean off.

The leader pulled a knife out that he planed to use of Naruto and prepared to stab the man, but it was pointless. The strager looked over his shoulder with his closed eye and snapped his fingers. Suddenly the leader burst into flames roasting him alive. 10 seconds later the only thing left of the leader was a scorched black skeleton.

The stranger turned to the remaining two villagers and holds his finger up pointing it at the man on his right. Then he swept his finger horizontally in front of himself going across the two villagers. Once his arm stopped moving the two men exploded leaving no remains.

The strager turned back to Naruto and walked towards him. Naruto started backing up from the man thinking that he was going to kill him too. Naruto reached the dead end and turned ghostly white. The strager stopped in front of Naruto and kneeled down till he was level with the boy.

"Who are you and what do you want with me?" Naruto asked scared out of his 7 year old mind. The man's smile grew slightly larger and he replied saying "My name is Xellos and as for what I want with, that my boy is a secret." He says bringing his hand up in front of his face and extending his index fingers.

"Well Naruto how about as a birth day present I take you away from here to a place you will be accepted and made very strong." Xellos says making the young jinchuriki widen his eyes and jump to his feet yelling "really? You mean it?"

Xellos chuckled and says "of course." Putting a hand on the boy's head and making them both vanish. Immediately after they leave the third Hokage arrives with several ANBU. They look around at the remaining corpses and then to where the young boy stood just a minute ago. The old man took a drag on his pipe and sighs saying "This can either be really good or really bad."
