A test for my first story, whether or not you like this idea

I don't own anything, except my own creativity and myself..., and my computer but that's about it.( My self is also for sale on Ebay for those who wish to own me)

So if you don't get it by now, I Don't Own Any Anime Or Movie Properties Used In This Fic. Though Any OC'S I Do... For Now.

"Can't you see this is pointless? You won't win; you should just give up and accept your fate like the rest of your kind." The speaker, a boy no older than thirteen, berated his opponent.

His opponent, a boy a year his junior, chuckled at this statement. "My kind, what do you mean my kind?"Though the words were spoken humorlessly, faint amusement could be detected in the child's voice.

The elder boy narrowed his pale eyes at the blonde lying before him. "What I mean is you should stop trying to defy fate Naruto. You will never be Hokage and yet you foolishly pursue this lost cause like an ignorant child. Lay these fantasies aside and accept serving your betters like the trash you are." He spoke these words in a tone of superiority and cold judgment.

The boy called Naruto looked unaffected by his words, as his face set in an amused smirk. "Thank you oh wise Neji for those words of wisdom" he replied sarcastically. "But I'm afraid your perception on this is wrong."

The boy now identified as Neji scowled at his opponent. He could not help the anger slipping into his voice, "Oh and how is that? Share with me the truth, if you are so enlightened."

Naruto's smirk widened into a small grin at the dark haired boy's reaction "I'd be glad to. You see Neji, I'm not the one trying to defy my fate, that is all you. Should I continue?" Taking Neji's lack of a response as a sign to continue he spoke again. "You speak of fate as something absolute, some sort of undeniable fact, but isn't it your fate as a branch Hyuuga to protect the main house? You say that you can't go against fate, but didn't you attack Hinata to go against the main house? You Neji, are pathetic."

At these words the young Hyuuga prodigy grew enraged."What do you know about anything!? To have your entire life dictated by a seal, something you had no control over! What do you know about being cursed?! You can't imagine the suffering, and the pain!" He raged loudly at his opponent.

Not expecting his opponent to respond Neji was surprised to hear a soft chuckle come from his downed opponent. Shortly afterwards another chuckle came followed by another, each one louder and harder than the last. Soon Naruto was laughing loud enough to be heard throughout the stadium. Getting a hold on himself he spoke loudly, so as to be directed more towards the entire audience than just to his opponent. "What do I know about suffering? That's gotta be the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. The real question is not what I know about suffering, the true question Neji is, what do you know about me?"

(In another part of the stadium, while the conversation is occurring we find Sakura, Ino and the rest of the Genin watching the match, and speaking loudly)

"What is that idiot talking about now?" asked Sakura irritated.

"Who knows? Does anyone ever understand him? He'd better be careful about what he says to Neji or the idiot will get himself killed." replied Ino tiredly.

"He'd be doing us all favor if he did get killed" Spoke Sakura .

"SAKURA!" shouted the Konoha Genin.

"What!?" She asked obviously surprised.

"That was uncalled for Sakura, and you know it" growled Kiba, angry at Sakura's lack of caring for her teammate.

"Yea he may be a bit odd, but he's a caring person and a fellow Konoha Genin. That was low even for you Forhead."

"How? He's an idiot, he's loud, he's a worthless ninja, and he's always getting in the way of me and my Sasuke!" She snapped back.

(Somewhere on a mountain in Fire Country, one Sasuke Uchiha suddenly felt the urge to curl into a ball and cry like a baby for his mother. But we'll get back to him and his problems later)

"You all remember how he was! Always pulling his childish pranks, shouting his stupid dream at the top of his lungs, never being anything but a bother to those around him! The only reason he's even a ninja is because Lord Hokage is to kind a man to throw out trash like him!You all know this as much as I do, why are you defending him?!

Shikimaru looked as though he was about to lose it on Sakura, when he suddenly stopped and said in a calm tone "You know what Sakura, you're right." After he said this Sakura gained a triumphant grin, while the rest of the Rookie Nine stared at him, shocked by his response. As Sakura was about to celbrate her 'victory' though Shikimaru spoke again, " Lord Hokage is too kind, otherwise he would have thrown you out long ago Haruno." The groups reactions changed dramatically, as Sakura's hope crashed down upon her. Seeing this, Shikimaru pressed his attack " You say Naruto is such a huge bother, and a useless ninja? Answer me this then, Haruno, what makes you so much better? What have you done since becoming a Genin that raises you above Naruto?From what I heard Naruto is the reason you're even alive right now." The other Genin were shocked. One: Shikimaru's voice had become so cold it caused a shiver to run down their spines, and second none of them had heard of Team Sevens mission to Wave Country and so were in the dark on the situation.

Sakura shrank back at his words and barely managed to force out " H-how di-di-d you know about that?"

If possible the usually lazy Genins tone grew even colder as he spoke " So it was true!"

Ino finally tired being in the dark about the situation managed to overcome her shock at her teammate, and long time friend's sudden shift in attitude enough that she asked the question on all the rookies minds " Shikimaru... W-what are you talking about? Whats true and how did Naruto save Sakura's life?

The young Nara boy looked at his fellow, Genin , and longtime friends before taking a breath, and speaking " Asuma-sensai told me that a few weeks ago Team Seven was sent on a C rank mission to protect a bridge builder from Wave Country."Looking at his audience and seeing that besides some mild flashes of jealousy, their reactions were mostly neutral.(especially the reaction from one Shino Aburame, who's expressions varried from neutral to extreme neutral) " Well apparently the mission didn't go quite as planned. The bridge builder lied to them about what the mission truly was, they were shortly after attacked by a pair of Mist Missing Nin." A few gasps were heard, but mostly from Ino, and the recovering Hyuuga Hinata. The rest kept mostly calm faces, though Kiba's lips were curved tightly trying to hold in his anger, and Choji had stopped eating his chips. "After the defeat of the Mist ninja, the mission was upgraded in rank, to an..." The young Nara slacker took a few deep breaths to get some control, and so that he would be able to gauge his fellow ninjas reactions." The Mission was the upgraded to an ... A rank mission." At this none of the Leaf Rookies were able to hide their shock. Even the ever calm Shino, was shacking in shock of the news.

Choji was no longer able to stand the suspense and nearly shouted " If it was such a high rank mission, why didn't they turn back!? Why did the old bridge builder lie about something that important? Why did their sensei allow this to continue!?"

An angry Choji was not a good thing Shikimaru decided, and attempted to calm him down."Whoa calm down Choji, I don't know everything about the mission just what Asuma sensai told me. Though from what I heard, wave country was in desperate need. They were under the control of a tyrant that went by the name of Gato. This Gato had apparently destroyed Wave's economy, and left the people starving and poor. Any who tried to stand against him were executed, and he eventually gained control over the entire land of Wave.

Hinata no longer able to keep silent sobbed softly "Thats horrible!! Who would do such things to innocent people?!"

Shikimaru looked at her and spoke softly," A monster who thought only of and for himself, that's who would Hinata." The lazy Genin turned again to the rookies, and continued the story "Naruto hearing this immediately decided he needed to help those people. And in the end it wasn't the skill of a legendary Shinobi, nor the acts of the 'precious' Uchiha that saved the village. It was the heart of Uzumaki Naruto that saved a land from its own desperation and brought down a tyrant. And he risked his life to save a village of strangers, he risked his life against one of the legendary Mist Seven Swordsman to save his team, and you call him useless!? Did you even thank Naruto for anything he did?"

Sakura hearing this forced down her fear and said " Why should I have, he nearly got Sasuke killed because of his love for attention! Do you know why? Because he's an attention hogging son of a bi..." Sakura would have continued her tirade if not for the bone crushing slap from a Hyuuga Hinata.

Hinata stared her in the eyes, her anger evident as her bloodline pulsed rapidly. " You don't deserve to even be in his presence you filthy whore" Hissed Hinata, shocking the rookies with her sudden aggressiveness. "If you ever insult him or even think about insulting him again, make no mistake I will kill you Haruno." The others overcame their astonishment, and attempted to pry the Haruno girl from the angry Hyuuga. So distracted were they, that they failed to notice a blonde foreign kunoichi walk up to them.

"As amusing as this is to watch, do you Konoha weaklings mind keeping it down your trying my patience, and im trying to watch the match" The voice of the Suna kunoichi Temari came suddenly causing the leaf nin to jump in surprise. After realizing how big of a commotion they were causing, they quickly calmed down and turned their attention to the arena below. " Thats what I thought" said Temari as she walked back towards her brothers/teammates.

As Temari arrived to where her team was located, the elder of her two sibling spoke" You really do have a way with kids, don't ya sis?"

Temari smirked " Of course I had to raise the two of you children, didn't I?" This got the reaction she was hoping for from her brother, in that he became angry. As he was about to open his mouth to retaliate she beat him to it. " Though I suppose there was nothing I could do for you sadly. You know Kankuro most children stop dressing like super heroes before they turn eight. How old are you now? Kankuro knowing when to give in just kept his mouth shut. "Good boy!" said Temari tauntingly. Temari's fun was cut short when she heard an annoyed growl from her youngest sibling, knowing that which annoyed Gaara usually didn't live to long. " How about we just enjoy the match huh? " She offered quickly. Kankuro nodded, knowing the smart thing to do, while Gaara just gave a disinterested grunt.

Though Gaara may have seemed uncaring, he was paying apt attention to the match, or mainly to the blonde haired combatant. Hearing Naruto speak allowed him to confirm the suspicions he'd had, no doubt about it Naruto Uzumaki was the jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsure." So theres another like me here. I can tell he has much hatred ,though he attempts to hide it with a mask of smiles. This may turn out to be way more fun than I ever though it would be." Looking back towards the arena Gaara saw the smile Naruto now wore. It was no longer the smile of an innocent child, no it was the smile of someone who thirsted for the blood of his foes. "Soon Uzumaki,soon it will be our time to fight, and I shall bathe in your blood Uzumaki , yes very soon. Now mirroring Naruto's grin he once again turned his focus to the fight below, as it was going to get very interesting.

"What are you talking about loser? What would I ever need to know about you?" Neji asked condescendingly to his downed foe.

Sighing dejectedly Naruto shook his head. When he spoke his voice had lost its previous humor, and sounded aged and tired. "See Neji that is my point exactly. You judge me as a loser, but you know nothing about me." After saying this Naruto's face took on a reminiscent look, and he chuckled once more. "I understand what he meant by people will never change they always will be the very monsters they claim to hate. You see Neji, I know a lot about suffering and pain. And your sadness at the branch house seal is nothing compared to what I have suffered through."

At this Neji began to shake in his anger. Barely keeping himself from shouting he replied "I don't believe it, you know nothing!"

The arena fell silent, as all tried to hear the words spoken between the two combatants. A slight breeze blew by, and a moment went by before Naruto spoke again. "Neji look around you. What do you see?" Pausing a moment he took a breath before continuing. "You see an entire stadium of people, and all of them are rooting for you to win. You are their hope, a prodigy to bet on and believe in. I'm just the mistake they wish they could erase, and believe me, many have tried. They want you to show off Konoha's strength and skill by beating me, the demon boy." After saying this he looked at the crowd. From the older generation he saw looks of scorn, and from the younger crowd members he saw confusion. After returning his sight to Neji, he continued "Though they are going to be sorely disappointed with this match then." Naruto's face curled into a small, slightly insane smirk. "And so will you Neji, if you survive at all that is."

Neji's face showed surprise for a second before he schooled his face back into a neutral expression. "Don't bother acting tough, I have sealed all 64 of your chakra points. This fight is over and you lose. Accept your defeat." Towards the end Neji's superior tone returned, as he taunted Naruto.

Laughing once more Naruto quickly sat up, shocking the crowd. Taking his time standing up he enjoyed every second of their surprise and anger. When he finally was on his feet, he addressed his opponent "The fights not near over Hyuuga. And I wont accept defeat unless you kill me, and you'd better hope you do because I have no problems doing the same to you" He spoke lowly, his insane grin returning to his face. "How about I show you how much of a demon I really am?" he asked slowly. Quickly biting his right thumb causing it to bleed, he drew a scroll from his pouch and ran his blood down the front of it. A cloud of smoke accompanied by a poof sounded the release of the scrolls contents. When the smoke cleared what the Neji and the crowd saw, shocked them to the core. There in the center stood Naruto, his bloodthirsty grin full on. His posture was tilted forward in an almost intoxicated fashion, and his eyes had turned a deep shade of red, but what really had their attention was what was in his hand. In Naruto's right hand, gripped tightly so as not to drop his prize, was the scrolls contents. A fleshy pulsating sack of blood. In Naruto's hand was a beating, pulsing heart, deep crimson in color it seemed to glow with its own evil aura. Naruto's smile threatened to split open his face as he addressed the Hyuuga prodigy. "Well Neji, this is the part where you lose, both this fight , and ... your life "

Ok this is my first attempt at a story, and as such I want to know whether or not you like it. Feed back is appreciated and would let me know if I should actually make this story. Not afraid of criticism so be honest. This would be a darker Naruto story and pairing unknown. I know Naruto's personality changed quickly, but there is a point to this and it has to do with the man Naruto mentioned to Neji.Though it seemed to be undirected I do have a plot for this story so i would upload quickly if the reviews are positive.

Thanks very much to my reviewer who made some good points, and helped me clean the story up a bit. And On the subject of the revisions yes, the conversation with the other Genin was supposed to be a bit lacking , since they haven't had any real role development opportunities as of yet, but seeing it now it does look work alot better.

I'm betting nobody saw a heart being inside the scroll, and no its not some ordinary heart or something useless. The heart has to do with Naruto's past with the man mentioned above, and its own demented powers. And I'm glad i threw in that aggressive Hinata and Exited Gaara section, it's much more entertaining . Well tell me what you think.

Also I'm new to the site and would appreciate help. And I will help most who ask, by doing editing and such for you. So if you have a suggestion, question, or just wish to throw ideas around, send me a message or msn me at
