I don't own anything I use, not even your Base.
Naruto stood above his corpse floating slightly above the ground, a chain hung loosely from his chest clearly part of his body as a large hexagonal 'plug' kept the chain in place with no gap to say that his chest ever had anything but a large hexagon of metal wedged there.
But at the moment that didn't matter as he was currently mulling over 'why' he was dead.
Betrayal.
One word with a million meanings, each different to another person some ranging from the smallest lapse in memory where a child would scold a parent to great Coos' that had family turn upon family in attempts to seize power.
Naruto had been betrayed by many over the years, the trust he placed in his teachers, the pink haired crush that had always put an abusive bastard before someone who actually cared for her, Said bastard who had tried his best to put his electricity coated arm through his chest several times.
But at least he understood Sasuke's reasons as twisted as they were, they made sense and Naruto understood that he would of eventually had to do something he would've regretted either for his own or another persons survival, but now...
Ironically the person who had killed him was the last person he'd have thought, but just as even the holist individual can fall into a world of debauchery and filth a cute blue haired girl named Hyuuga Hinata managed to brutally murder Uzumaki Naruto.
Jealousy.
Naruto himself at times had felt jealous over different things, people with families, people with money, people who are loved or cared for by another, people who weren't burdened with the Kyuubi or another demon but what differed Naruto from Hinata is that he didn't act on those jealousies.
He had known that Hinata had a crush on him, who wouldn't when considering she blushed and stuttered every time he was in the same room as her.
Strangely enough he didn't particularly care that she had betrayed him as it was second nature to expect to be betrayed but it had left this strange empty feeling in his chest
He clutched at his ghostlike chest the pain only growing worse as each second went by and tried to go back to the mantra he taught himself when he was so young he needed constant reassurance so that he wouldn't take a kunai to his wrist and finish some villagers work.
"It'll get better, there's always an upside to everything, it'll all work out, and don't worry just relax" and so it went on until Naruto could no longer concentrate due to the blinding pain in his chest
'Its like it's eating me alive'
CRUNCH, CRUNCH CHRUNCH, CRUNCH SNAP CRUNCH
Fearing the worst Naruto looked down at his chest where his chain hung, the links of the chain had animated themselves and grown teeth gnawing away at other links and rapidly making their way to the hexagon of metal directly in his chest where he could do little but watch through pain clouded eyes as the ravenous links tore a hole in his chest before dissipating.
Naruto's brief reprieve from danger was short lived as a horrific Transformation occurred that would scare even the most hardened of Shinobi turning them into a cowering mess.
A white film like substance started to leak from his eyes twisting and rippling along his skin at the same time his mouth was forced open by more of the white substance bursting up from his throat covering his lower jaw mixing with the other parts of the white film and taking form.
A long thin mask shaped like that skull, white as bone with two thin horns that jutted outwards before curving up behind his head, two vertical red lines cut through the eyes of the mask leading down past his face and stopping at the base of his neck.
After the mask had fully formed Naruto's body began to change, he could finally feel as the empty pain was no longer present it actually felt good as a strange foreign power coursed through his body like the mental part that made up what chakra was
Muscles corded themselves tighter appearing to grow larger and thicker before stretching breaking non-existent bones to lengthen the limbs, his body kept its pale complexion except for similar red lines that wove themselves around his body in a maelstrom of swirls and deep edges that were almost offensive to look upon
Naruto stumbled, his body no longer remaining buoyant as it was heavier from its condensed spirit energy and staggered his way over to a nearby stream to look upon his changed body
He could see the mask simply enough as it stuck out like a sore thumb and let out a cross between a gasp and a howl that echoed off nothing but was so chilling that birds in the trees collapsed in seizures their hearts stopping seconds latter.
Next he peered at his hands which had travelled up to his face on their own accord, elongated to nearly twice their previous length with thick sharp and cruelly pointed tips that curved slightly at their ends with the same red paint tattoos and lines etching along their lengths almost like veins and arteries except they had yet to find a pulse.
Standing back up Naruto did a once over of himself, he now stood somewhere above five feet and was clothed in very little as the spiritual remnants of his clothing had frayed and shredded from his transformation, strangely enough his eyes remained unchanged as they still held their endless depth of unerring blue in fact they looked to be even bluer then they had been when he was alive if it were possible.
"WHAT AM I?"
Spoke Naruto his normal cheery voice distorted and perverted as it came out in a guttural, feral and inhuman sound, it reverberated and made itself sound as if more then one person was speaking with a strange watery sound at the back of his mind
Shoving useless thoughts aside Naruto moved over to his rapidly cooling body where he felt an unexplainable 'twitch' that grew stronger the closer he got, reaching out and touching his material body a strong tingling travelled up his whole body before he slipped forward straight back into his corpse.
Naruto awoke slowly as sunlight trickled from the treetops onto his unblemished face and warming his black and orange jumpsuit
"Ur what happened" muttered the blond hollow as his mind kick-started snapping awake as he realised what was wrong
"My voice…"
Reaching up Naruto gingerly ran his fingers along his throat and face, he could feel the mask but it was like it had seeped under the skin just out of reach and sight but not far enough for him to forget its presence.
His hands travelled lower unzipping his jacket and lifting his shirt, the large hole in his chest that was eaten away was still present located just bellow the ribcage a fist sized hole travelling all the way to his back where some of his spine should have been.
"So it wasn't just a weird dream" whispered Naruto sombre as he recalled Hinata killing him, minutes past and Naruto felt a tug along his navel
"What the-" yelled Naruto as he was drawn through a spiralling portal against his will
Kurosaki Ichigo parried a blow from Hirako Shinji his massive Zanpaku-to releasing huge waves of reiatsu as he did so, the force of such high density spirit energy making themselves look like a banquet in the eyes of hollows and it was because of this that a myriad of such masked horrors were descending into the world some being dragged by sheer coincidence or through the force of other hollows escaping from the holes torn into Hueco Mundo.
It was because of this that like a permanent summoning Naruto had been ripped from the Elemental countries into the real world with no way home, a blot upon the reality of the world.
In soul society members of the real world investigation and monitoring crew stumbled falling ass over head as screens bleared warning signals from high levels of reiatsu being released
Scrambling to his feet a toad like man gave out orders to distressed Shinigami in an attempt to protect order somewhat.
Setsuna Meiou Stood flabbergasted at the remains of the time gates, her only warning before the only thing that let her keep some measure of control over the world exploded was a warning that an un-reality pocket opened up like the one she had set up to build the Nega-verse and control the development of the sailor senshi except far worse
but at least it was only one person
"AHHHHHHH"
Thump
Naruto landed, face first into the concrete road cursing softly as he re adjusted his nose and slowly figuring out where he had landed.
Tall grey skyscrapers and high-rise building stood all around him imposingly as street lamps barely illuminated patches of hard ground which were basked in a unkind yellow glow, even at this time of night the city seemed alive even more so then the great metropolis Konoha was situated near.
"Gama-chan I don't believe I'm in ninja land anymore"
Naruto appeared to have landed himself in the middle of a war as he could hear distant sounds of multiple skirmishes and by the sounds of it both sides had little to no qualms about the destruction of property as explosions were set off collapsing the a building three blocks away.
Naruto had almost decided to stay somewhere quite to rest up when he heard the scream of a young girl, years of saving the asses of other people held strong as Naruto barely hesitated before vaulting down the streets intent on playing hero.
Naruto came upon a small girl with blondish hair scrabbling away from a very large creature with a milky white mask the rest of its nearly fourteen feet high body was covered in blackish skin that almost made it appear as if it was wrapped up in shadows.
"GRAAAA" the masked creature bellowed its tremendous fist missing the girl and slamming into a street post crushing it under the massive force.
'What the hell is that thing like me' an uneasy feeling was settling in to Naruto's stomach, things were happening too quickly with too many questions and so few answers, shaking off his anxiety as the girl in trouble narrowly dodged before tripping over her bag of groceries that she held spilling their contents along the street.
"Oy, Fugly".
Was the only warning as the hollow was bent over backwards by a sandal clad foot to the chin toppling it and knocking it on its back and forcing it to slide several metres.
'Jeeze what's this guy made of' "Probably not the best Idea I had kicking some'tin that hard" muttered Naruto rubbing his ankle.
"A-are y-you related to Jinta um mister".
"Ehh me uhh probably not I'm Uzumaki Naruto and I'll need you to hold my body for a while" Naruto could almost feel the blush on the young girl as he said it, his words being immediately misunderstood.
Almost instinctively Naruto ripped himself out of his body taking his spirit form and turned to face her once again.
"And I'll protect you till I die" spoke Naruto through two sets of teeth his words strangely reminiscent of a certain green spandex boy.
And the battle was on.
Yuzu watched passively subconsciously clutching the cold body of Naruto as the rather demonic version of him tore into the great shadowy beast.
To a trained fighter it would appear that Naruto fought with the skill of years of experience his only faults being that he appeared 'out of touch' with the workings of his monstrous body occasionally resorting to half assed blocks that threw him away from the creature.
Yuzu let out a gasp of horror as Naruto's left arm was ripped from his body exploding into a shower of gore as the blond haired hollow screamed in and agony jumping away from the second fist aimed at him.
The towering hollow choose this moment to gloat in a loud sadistic voice that made it sound like a retarded psycho unable to properly form words but Yuzu noticed something wrong about the situation as the masked Naruto had a grin on his face the wound having long ago stopped bleeding.
Not a moment latter Yuzu knew exactly why as the disembodied left arm wrapped itself around the hollow and exploded ripping a good sized chunk out of the Hollow and dismembering one of its arms which crushed an abandoned car under its weight.
Yuzu gasped again this time in a mixture of astonishment and surprise as a tremendous pressure pressed down against her making it seem like she was being crushed under a huge weight of iron and abruptly it was gone Naruto's left arm having regenerated in the blink of an eye.
Naruto lashed out slamming his smaller but stronger fists into the Hollow's leg and dropping it into a screaming heap, each yell like a loud animal being run through a grinder, the monster threw its arm out in an ineffective attempt to escape the continued pummelling.
"You like picking on children do you" screamed Naruto catching the creatures arm and twisting cruelly snapping it at the elbow then slamming its whole body into the ground.
Images of when Naruto was younger ran through his mind, times when he was beaten by total strangers in the street, ninja and civilian alike spitting on his bloody and bruised body as they apathetically walked by meandering through their abysmal lives, images of school children taking his homework and burning it right in front of the teachers who done nothing to stop them.
"Its people like you that make me sick" Naruto again screamed this time much more angry a red glow emanating from the back of his throat focusing all of his anger and hate into one centre before discharging a thick line of hardened spirit energy shredding apart the hollow who had absolutely no chance of escaping.
Tired and worn out Naruto limped his way back into his body ignoring the look he was getting from Yuzu.
A small black cat with glowing yellow eyes watched the exchange before leaping off at a pace cats shouldn't be capable of.
"Are you okay" murmured Yuzu supporting Naruto with one arm.
"Ehh ahh um yeah, of course I am after all I'm the great Uzumaki Naruto and nothing as little as a Halloween reject could put me down" replied the blond boy earning a giggle from the girl he had saved.
"what was it you did with your body Naruto-kun" Yuzu spoke her voice raising barely above a whisper, truthfully Yuzu knew what the frightful presence had been even if it felt more like what her brother did when he transformed and thought she hadn't noticed.
"Ehh ano-sa I don't really know I just kinda winged it and hoped it would turn out alright" finished Naruto lamely scratching the back of his head like a child about to be scolded and flinched slightly when Yuzu hugged him.
"Thank you".
Releasing Naruto Yuzu started picking up her dropped groceries most of it managing to come out from the fight intact Naruto following seconds latter his previous limping forgotten.
After the groceries were all picked up an uncomfortable silence made itself known, Naruto not knowing what to say and being just a bit smarter then just blurting out something like 'so you get attacked often' and Yuzu shuffling her feet and looking at her toes, to an outsider it would look like two shy normal adolescents out on a date.
Abruptly Yuzu lifted her head a grabbed Naruto's arm pulling him along.
"Eh ahh what are you doing".
"Come on I will take you to meet my father I'm sure he will love to meet you Naruto-kun".
"Eh but I don't even know your name yet".
"My name" Yuzu turned around smiling a bright contagious smile.
"Yuzu, Kurosaki Yuzu"
-End chapter-
Phew prologue done all this emotional stuff is draining I'll never understand how people can express emotions so freely hmm.
Hollow- Hollows are evil ghosts who reside in Hueco Mundo but travel to the living world to feed on the souls of the living and dead alike. Like Shinigami, hollows are made of spiritual matter, cannot be detected by ordinary humans, and use their internal spiritual power to fight. While most hollows can be overcome by the average Shinigami, some can surpass a Shinigami captain in strength. All hollows wear white masks.
Hueco Mundo- pretty much translates to hollow world it's the natural habitat (if you could call it natural) of hollows, it's for the most part a dark lightless wasteland and desert without law and survival is for the fittest.
The natural land of the hollows is rich in spirit energy much more then Soul society and is one of the few places Hollows reproduce
Zanpaku-to – A soul slayer commonly used by Shinigami, the soul slayer is in effect a part of them maybe a recessed personality or ones ideal on some subject that can eventually take form into their released forms giving the Shinigami strength beyond the norm.
Naruto's mask- Naruto's mask is thin and long covering most of his spiky blond hair, the horns near the temples are more for decoration then anything unable to really do anything useful like gouge someone, two red lines go through either eye and continuing to the jaw, the teeth have narrower points then the tombstone like teeth most hollow posses.
Naruto's mask is unique without being overly complex, it'll stand out defiantly but at least it isn't stylized after a fox, really people the fox masks are over done.
Naruto's body- Naruto's hollow body is tall and powerful with thick corded muscles almost as pale as a newborns skin; his hands are clawed and have numerous chaotic red tattoos with no particular purpose
Reiatsu- spirit energy.
About the part with Setsuna- I'm not really going to put all that much sailor moon in here its just that I hate the manipulative hypocritical views given in Sailor moon so don't comment on it.
Abilities-
Rapid regeneration- a high level hollow skill that allows the hollow to regenerate even fatal injuries and only attacks of an instant destructive nature
Limb explosion- hollow limbs are made of hardened reiatsu and limb explosion allows a hollow to resonate the reiatsu of the limb in such a way that it explodes violently in a blast of concussive force, typically quite deadly as an enemy can be caught unaware by such a tactic
Cero- Spanish pronunciation for zero and translates to spirit blast, it fires a deadly pulse of red energy that can vaporise even toughened Shinigami; it can be fired from the mouth or in the case of extremely powerful hollows from the fingers or hand.
