Ghost Rider: Spirit of Konoha

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Ghost Rider.

A/N: This is my new story. One of the reasons I am writing this is because most of the Naruto/Ghost Rider crossovers that I have read so far are not that good and unrealistic in that the deal has some part of it that will favour Naruto directly or indirectly. So this is my take on how things might go. The other reason is that…Ghost Rider is cool and my joint second favourite Marvel character along with Blade. Also I would like to point out that this is Ghost Rider from the comics with a mix of the films into it as well. I hope you like it.

Prologue: The Deal

Naruto was upset and heartbroken when he got home from the hospital. It was all because of Hiruzen Sarutobi aka the Third Hokage. He had not been hurt by the man he considered Jiji on purpose; it was all because he was ill with a virus that attacked his lungs and he was given only a few days to live. Normally when a Ninja had caught something life threatening the Hospital staff would be able to help them recover quickly but due to Hiruzen's old age and the fact that this virus was never seen before it was not possible to help him without causing more harm to him. Naruto was only 7 years old but he still kept a slight hope that his Jiji-san would get better and be back in his office so he could go and visit him.

Naruto had thrown himself onto his bed and started to cry silently before he closed his eyes and spoke just above a whisper. "Please to whoever is out there listening to me, please let Jiji-san live."

"You want Hiruzen Sarutobi to live? That can be arranged."

Naruto jumped up in shock at the sudden voice and turned around. He saw a young man in front of him with short red hair and red eyes. He wore a long black coat and what looked like a black suit with a red tie. He also had with him a walking cane with what looked like a skull on it. The man had a smile on his face as Naruto spoke to him again. "W…who are you?"

"I go by many names young one but you may call me Satan or The Devil." Satan gave Naruto a formal bow before standing up right again and looking at him. "And you are Naruto Uzumaki am I correct?"

"Yes I am. How did you get here?" Naruto asked still scared.

"Normally I would be summoned by someone through the occult that wants something but in your case I have been watching you for some time ever since you have been born." Satan said softly to him. "You want Hiruzen, the Third Hokage to live right? I have a way to make sure he lives."

Naruto suddenly had a look of desperation in his eyes they showed hope that an option to save his Jiji-san had come right before him which made Satan smile even bigger at him. "Please tell me how."

"Simple Naruto, we make a deal. You sell me your soul right now to me and in return Hiruzen Sarutobi will live through this virus." Satan pulled out a piece of paper from his coat and placed it in front of Naruto. "All you have to do is sign this contract and he will live."

"I will do it." Naruto said without question and started looking around for a pen to sign the contract when Satan pulled out a pen for him.

"This pen will sign it in your blood as blood is the only way to make the contract binding. Ordinary pens will not work." Naruto took the pen from him and signed it when he flinched lightly as the pen drew his blood from his hand through the skin. Satan grabbed the contract and the pen quickly before he faded away as his final words echoed around the room. "Naruto Uzumaki, pleasure doing business with you."

Naruto woke suddenly and saw that it was morning. He sat up in his bed slowly and rubbed his eyes as he thought about last night. "It was a dream. It was only a dream." He started to get depressed again thinking about the Hokage and him only having a few days to live. He got himself a shower and got dressed in a fresh set of clothes before heading to the hospital. As he arrived he headed to the Hokage's private hospital room and headed in but was shocked by what he saw. Hiruzen Sarutobi, the man who was on death's door last night, was sitting up in bed like nothing was wrong with him. "Jiji-san?"

"Naruto, how did you sleep last night?" Hiruzen said with a smile on his face.

"You…you are alright?"

"Yes I am. The nurses say it is a miracle that I pulled through so quickly when I should be closer to death today."

Naruto's look of shock started to go to worry before flashing to fear. "Was it real? It can't be. But what if it was?"

"Naruto is something wrong?"

"I…I don't know. Can I talk to you later? I need to find something out."

"Of course you can. I am getting released later today. Meet me in my office as I won't be doing any work today." Hiruzen said with a worrying look on his face.

Naruto nodded before running out of the hospital as fast as he could towards one of the alleys before diving into it and leaned against the wall with his mind going into overdrive about what he had discovered. He was thinking of everything that could have possibly caused Hiruzen to suddenly get well but only one thing made sense to him and that was last night.

"I see that Hiruzen is making a speedy recovery."

Naruto jumped and saw Satan beside him but what surprised him was that he saw people frozen still. Not just people but…everything. "What has happened to everyone?"

"I have frozen time so that we can talk without any interruptions." Satan said as he stood in front of Naruto.

"You saved him."

Satan nodded with a smile. "As per our contract made last night, Hiruzen will live through this virus."

"Then that means…" Naruto looked at him with sadness thinking he was going to be taken to Hell right this minute.

"Your soul belongs to me now. Know this Naruto I will collect what is mine but not yet. Enjoy freedom for now." Satan suddenly burst into flames and disappeared as time started to flow again.

Naruto walked into the Hokage's office and sighed softly before speaking up. "Hey Jiji-san."

"Hello Naruto now please tell me what is bothering you. I do worry you know." Hiruzen said softly as he sat behind his desk, leaving it full of paperwork.

"I know you do. I...I did something yesterday. Something bad." Naruto said looking down.

"Now I am sure it is not as bad as you think Naruto. Tell me what did you do?"

Naruto told Hiruzen everything that had happened leaving nothing out including the name Satan. When he was finished telling what had happened Hiruzen had a paled look on his face. "That is what happened."

"I am shocked to say the least Naruto but at the same time humbled that you did this for me."

"But what are we going to do when he will come to collect my soul?"

"Naruto we will cross that bridge when we come to it. Just so you know I will not let him take you to hell without a fight."

"Thank you Jiji-san."

"Now go home, you have class tomorrow."

Naruto nodded before heading out of the office as he whispered, "See you tomorrow Jiji-san."

"See you tomorrow Naruto. Everything will work out, I promise." Hiruzen said with a sad smile on his face.

As Naruto headed home a man watched him from the rooftops, hidden from the world. He saw the newest soul to be owned by "Satan". He watched for a bit longer as he went into his apartment before thinking. He came to a decision and smiled before he suddenly vanished from the rooftops. "That boy is going to make a big impact on the world. All I can do is help him on his journey."

Well that is the Prologue done. I know it is short but it is only the prologue and the chapters will get longer I promise. (Though the prologue for The inFAMOUS Ninja is just a bit shorter.) This one might take some time to update as my other two stories are at the top of the list. The first chapter of Weapon XX will be finished soon. (It is about half way done so far.) Also if anyone has any ideas for demons to be put into this story you can private message me on here with the ideas and I will give credit where it is due.

Until next time
