Naruto Reborn : The Tale of Mystogan

I don't own Naruto or any other Manga/Anime Series. Although I wish I did!

Chapter : 1

"Please…Sakura, don't do this to me." A pained desperate voice called out.

His cry was upon deaf ears as the only response to his voice was a door slamming shut. It was his last hope. He thought maybe she would reconsider at the last moment, but she didn't. He was all alone once again. Everything was taken from him in a matter of days, and now, what did he have to offer to the world...nothing.

This man, who had lost everything, his name was Naruto Namikaze, the 26 year old jonin, admired by every villager in the village hidden in the leaves. The man who fought Obito Uchiha and Madara Uchiha, and lived. He was practically the strongest ninja in the village, and yet, here he was. He should have everything he had ever wanted, but that wasn't true, at least, not anymore.

His wife Sakura Namikaze had left him after four years of marriage. She not only broke his heart, but she took something from him. She took the one he held dearest to his heart. Ichi Namikaze, his two year old son. Sakura took him and left, she ran into the arms of his once best friend, Sasuke Uchiha

Apparently she had been cheating on him for at least a year, and finally found the motivation to come clean to her husband and leave him. Was he not good enough!?

Naruto slammed his fist into the wall beside him, feeling the home shake from his power. Cracks formed at the wall, and he lowered his arm back down to his side. Tears slid down his face and dripped onto the floor below. He couldn't figure out where he went wrong. Whatever Sakura asked for, he gave her. He gave her all the love he could possibly give. They were a family that was beginning to grow into something amazing. It was all a lie!

Walking over to the window, he watched as the love of his life, carrying his beautiful child, walk away further down the street. Then, not able to bear the pain in his heart, he walked upstairs to his room. He walked past all the empty spaces where decorations and furniture used to be since they were also taken. The blond ninja laid down on his bed and hoped that the pain would dull with sleep.

Weeks past. Naruto spent the days sulking in his bedroom. The blinds were closed and not a single light had been turned on. Just darkness and sorrow accompanied the young man. Thinking that he was a pathetic excuse of a man, he finally got up and walked towards the blinds.

Light burst through the window as he pulled back the curtains. He felt temporary blindness in his eyes before they had finally focused on the street out front. People scattered along the street, walking, smiling, as if nothing was wrong with the world. He hated them.

How was it fair that they could continue to live all happy and normal, when he was stuck in this horrible darkness. It felt awful. They were mocking him, laughing at him. He smashed his fist into the window with a rasengan and watched as the glass exploded outwards to the buildings on the other side of the street. After hearing some cries of shock from some civilians on the street, he retreated back from the light and walked into the bathroom.

When Naruto got to the mirror, he stared at himself in the mirror. He looked absolutely awful. He didn't want to be himself anymore. He didn't want people to mock him anymore.

Suddenly, he got a thought. What if he changed himself, became someone else? He could become someone that had no limitations, no emotions like Naruto Namikaze had. He could live like a true ninja, abandoning all the feelings that hinder his judgement. It wasn't like Naruto Namikaze was truly important. His own child would grow up, calling someone else Dad, never knowing that he ever existed. It was better that way. Naruto Namikaze would no longer exist after today.

He had to change, not only his appearance, but his way of thinking, his actions, even his own fighting style. It would take time to change, to practice this alter ego until he was sure he had perfected this new identity. It would take months of practice, and he'd have to still make sure he was seen outside, so nobody would notice his absence during those months of secret training. First off, his new name would be… Mystogan.

After a couple of months, Mystogan was ready to emerge from the shadows. The once Naruto spent many hours and days changing his look through a seal that was written around his right eye, giving him a more angular face, paler skin, black eyes, and longer blue hair. After his change, he would use a henge to make appearances in public. While in his henge he would find an isolated training spot and learn a new fighting styles and special jutsu. During this lifestyle, he would try to avoid Sakura and her new family as much as possible.

Walking outside of his home, he turned and traveled down the street in his new ninja gear, and clasped to his back were two large scythes. People looked at this stranger with an odd face, wondering who he was exactly. Mystogan paid them no mind. He was new, reborn now. His body began to shift and become twisted before disappearing into thin air.

Moments later, Naruto Namikaze's home had exploded into flames. By the time ninja were able to stop the fire using water jutsu, Mystogan was long gone, and the ninja had recovered a burnt corpse, which could have only been Naruto Namikaze. He was now officially dead.
