Naruto the Dark

Disclaimer: I own nothing

10 years.

It's been 10 long years.

10 years since he was banished from his village for completing his mission.

10 years since he was betrayed by the very woman, whom he see's as a mother, and his friends and senseis, except for some.

Staring at the dark cloudless sky, was a 23 year old young man. He stood at about 6'0. He has spiky yellow hair that went past his neck and long bangs framing on both sides of his face. There were also black streaks in his hair and there were tips of it on his bangs. His once deep ocean blue eyes was now had a mix of green in them. He is currently wearing a black cloaked, covering his whole body, but even though it was covered, you could clearly that he's got decent muscles.

This was Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki, now named Namikaze, ex-Genin of Konoha, and former Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

There was anger, rage, and pain as he thought about that Hell known as Konoha. Why? How could they do this to him!? After everything he has done for them, every blood, sweat, and tears he worked on just to prove that he wasn't the demon went down the drain. Every insults and attacks that he pushed aside just to prove was all for nothing.

When he brought back that bastard Uchiha, he saw a crowd of people waiting for them, with Sakura and Ino in there with them. He carried Sasuke on his back and when they saw their 'Royal Uchiha Prince' beaten, they started to shout insults at him. Sakura even went so far as to sucker punch Naruto in the face while Ino kicked him in the stomach. They soon grabbed the Uchiha and went off to the Hospital, leaving the rest of the villagers to beat the hell out of Naruto for hurting their Uchiha Prince.

After the beating was over, he woke up in the Hospital covered in bandages, and the first thing he saw was an angry Kakashi staring down at him. He repeated what he on the first day Naruto and the others became Genin and he called Naruto trash.

Three days later, when Naruto got out of the Hospital, he ran into the rest of Konoha 11. When he greeted them, they turned and glared at Naruto with disgust and hatred in their eyes. Before he knew, most of them attacked him. He still remembered what they all did to him.

Tenten threw her weapons at Naruto. Hinata and Neji used their family style move on him. Akamaru bit on his leg hard while Kiba was slashing him with his claws. Chouji, Rock Lee, and Shikamaru didn't do anything but just threw insults at him and encouraged everyone. Sakura and Ino arrived just in time and began to attack him as well, all the while calling him 'monster', 'demon', 'Nine-Tailed Bastard'.

After they left the broken Naruto, Konohamaru and his friends found him and they all gasped in shock at his state. They wanted to take him to the Hospital but he told them to just take him home. At least, those three were nice to him. After that Naruto swore to never go near them again.

A week later, the Council of Konoha called him and he was sent to the Hokage Tower. The first thing he saw when he entered were the dark glares from the civilians, his fellow Shinobi, Clan Heads, the Elders, and worst of all, the Hokage herself.

They finally dropped the bomb on his head and told him he was banished. When he asked them why he was banished they told him it was for hurting their precious Uchiha in the fight. He argued that he was only defending himself cause the Uchiha attacked him first, they all called him a liar, a monster and yelled that the Uchiha would never do such a thing.

When word spread about his banishment, everyone waited outside the Hokage Mansion, and saw Naruto running out. Everyone soon began to laugh at him when they saw tears falling from his eyes and they all shouted insults at him while also throwing stuff. During his run, he saw the Ichiraku family fighting off a bunch of people who were shouting at him, Iruka was in the crowd fighting a bunch of Jounin and Chunin who were yelling and throwing things at him, along with Kotetsu and Izumo, making him smileinwardly that they defended him.

When he made it out of the village, he ran into Konohamaru and the others again, and he told them the news, shocking them to the core. They all were asking him why would they banish him for completing his job. He didn't answer them and just told them to be strong and watch out for each other. He even gave Konohamaru the Forehead Protector Iruka once gave him when he first made Genin. Konohamaru and the others gave Naruto a hug and tearful goodbye.

After the goodbye, he went and traveled to Wave Country first, since that place actually got him some respect. When he made it, he saw Tazuna and the others walking around with smiles on their faces. But when they saw Naruto, they saw him in bandages and ran to him, asking him what happened and why he was there by himself. He quickly ran into Tsunami and broke down into tears, shocking the family and everyone around them as they came to him wondering what had happened.

As soon as Naruto calmed down, he told everyone what happen to him. When he was finished, they were beyond pissed as hell. Tazuna wanted to go up there and give those bastards a piece of his mind, but instead he went to the Wave Daiymo to tell him about what the Leaf did to their hero. Inari wanted to gather everyone in Wave and have them go to the Leaf Village to raise hell but knew he couldn't since there are ninja there. Tsunami had lost all respect to the Leaf Village, and wanted nothing more than to see them pay for their actions.

Afterwards, Naruto decided to stay in Wave Country for a couple of days, before leaving much to everyone's protest. But he told them that the Hokage would probably send ANBU after him in order to finish him off and the first place they would check is there. Everyone was conflicted at first but decided to let Naruto go. They wished Naruto the best of luck and told him to be careful out there, and that if Ninja from the Leaf were there then they would deal with them.

After he left Wave, that was when he ran into him…

Flashback

13 year old Naruto was jumping from tree branch to tree branch. It's been a few days since he left Wave and everyone in it. The thought of them brought a true smile on his face. They comforted him when he was sad and brought him out of it, they said that he was always welcome in Wave, and most of all, they said that they'll protect him from the Leaf Shinobi.

That is what he always wanted. To be viewed as a someone. Everyone in Wave treated him with respect. When he walked by the villagers, instead of hearing the harsh whispers about him and the glares, they would always wave to him or say hello, which he returned much happily. And whenever he passed the girls his age they would always giggle while blushing when he looked at them.

Whenever he thought about the Leaf Village, anger and hatred is what he would always feel. Nobody there treated him nicely, instead when he returns it, he would always get yelled at and get hit. He grit his teeth as more and more memories that he wished to forget would always pop in his head and the more he remembers the more angrier he gets by the second.

"Naruto…"

Music: The Past [Sonic Adventure]

Said boy stops jumping and looks around. He shook his head thinking he was hearing things, before he took a step forward.

"Naruto…"

"Who's there!?" Naruto demanded searching around him. His eyes widened as he realised who it is before his turned into anger. "Leave me alone you damn fox! You've caused me enough problems already!"

"Calm yourself child. I am not the Nine-Tails." The voice said causing Naruto's eyes to widen..

"Then…who are you? Or better yet, where are you!?" Naruto asked. He got his answer when he saw a purple light appear in front of him, making him cover his eyes. When the light died down, he uncovered his eyes and saw a floating Scepter in front of him.

"Are you…the voice?"

"Yes." The voice said from within the Scepter, shocking the blond.

"Who are you?" Naruto asked once more.

"I am Mephiles. Mephiles the Dark." The voice said.

Music: Mephiles' Whisper [Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)]

"Mephiles...the Dark?" Naruto said as he walked closer. "What are you?"

"I am a spirit." Mephiles said. "A Spirit that's been sealed away inside this Scepter for a long time. And I've been waiting for you, Naruto Uzumaki."

"How do you know me!?" Naruto demanded, glaring at the Scepter as it chuckles.

"I know everything about you Naruto. You see, for all your life I've been watching over you. And everyday, I can see that the darkness in your heart has been increasing more and more, and it's been getting my attention ever since." Mephiles said, shocking Naruto. "The people of the village hates you because of what you hold within you, the very same beast that attacked their home and killed all their loved ones. They hate you because they think you're the Nine-Tails itself and yet you prove so hard to them that you're not the Tailed Beast."

"SHUT UP!" Naruto roared out as he glared angrily at the Scepter. It was bad enough that he was betrayed by everyone in the Village, but he didn't want to remember them and the pain that they caused! It was just too much! "If you know so much about me then tell me something that I don't know about myself!"

"Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze." Mephiles said, confusing Naruto.

"Kushina…Uzumaki? Who's that? And who's Minato Namikaze?" The blond asked curiously.

"If you would like to know the truth of who you really are, touch the Scepter, and I'll show you everything." Mephiles replied.

Naruto looked down at the ground in thought. He wanted to know who he is, along with the people that Mephiles just said. This is it! He can finally learn the truth about everything about himself and more importantly find out who his parents are. He looked at the Scepter and touched it before he gasped in shock as images appeared in his head.

It was then he saw everything in history. The battle between the Sage of Six Paths and the Ten-Tails, before he separated the beast's chakra into Nine, thereby giving birth to the Nine-Tailed Beasts. The Six Paths' Sons and their battle for who would be Clan Heir. He saw the birth of both the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan and the fight between the First Hokage and some dude named Madara Uchiha and the latter was able to control the Nine-Tails. What really caught Naruto's interest was the Uzumaki Clan. Apparently, they were the greatest masters of Sealing Jutsu and because of that they became feared. They were also recognizable because they have red hair.

He also saw a woman named Mito Uzumaki and she was married to the First Hokage. She even became the first holder of the Nine-Tails, called a Jinchuriki, shocking Naruto to the core. Before Mito died of old age, she sealed the Nine-Tails into a girl, making her the second holder. He figured was this Kushina Uzumaki. He saw how she was treated as well, but it was only because of her red hair and that she came from another village. That was when she was kidnapped by the Cloud Shinboi but was saved by a boy with spiky blond hair and blue eyes like him.

The images began to change into that night. The night before the Nine-Tails attack. Naruto was now shell-shocked and was in disbelief as he found out that this Minato and Kushina were in fact his own parents! The Hero of the Leave Village and Idol, the Fourth Hokage, was in fact his father!

He watched as a masked man came in after he just got born, and how said man released the Nine-Tails from his mother. And then it began. He saw how his father sealed the Yang Half of the Nine-Tails inside of him and that the fox was about to kill his baby self, before his parents got in the way. He listened to his parents last words to him and was in tears.

As the last memory finished, Naruto gasped again as he removed his hand from the Scepter. His eyes widened in disbelief and shock as he got on his knees.

"No way…the Fourth Hokage is…my dad…" Naruto said as tears fell from his eyes. "And the Old Man knew about it this whole time…Pervy Sage knew also…even Tsunade…"

"That's right Naruto." Mephiles said. "Your father wanted you to be seen as a hero for saving the Hidden Leaf Village, but the Third Hokage let his age get to him and because of it, he allow people to abuse you, the Son of his Sucessor! He should've told everyone the truth about your Heritage but instead, he didn't. He's been lying to you for your entire life, about the Nine-Tails being sealed in you, your parents, everything! And that Toad Sannin…Jiraya loved your father like he was his own son, and after the Nine-Tails attack, he couldn't even look at you no more seeing how you look exactly like him! He left you by yourself for his so-called 'research' and never once tried to visit or see you!"

"And as for Tsunade, your own Godmother, she was suppose to take care of you but she didn't! She abandoned you after both of your parents were killed and all she's ever done was drink and gamble! How that woman is the Granddaughter of the First Hokage and Mito Uzumaki is beyond me."

"The people of the Hidden Leaf Village have caused you nothing but pain because they just couldn't get over their grief and sorrow over the death of their loved ones! But your peers…they are a different story. See when you were brought into the hospital after your 'beating', the Fifth Hokage told them about your secret and you already know what happened after you woke up and met them!"

"Sooner or later, they will call you back to the Leaf and be their little weapon again! Just like what the Sand Village did to your Jinchuriki brother, Gaara of the Desert. They betrayed you! They stabbed you in the back for completing a mission! You don't need them and they don't deserve to have someone like you! All you've done in your childhood was showing them your kindness but instead all you get was a punch to the face everyday! They've tried to kill you multiple times in your youth yet you pushed it aside to show people that you're not the Nine-Tails! But no! They didn't see it! Instead, all they saw was what they hated the most…a Demon! Those people…they are the real Demons for harming innocent children just as yourself and using you as weapons!"

Naruto didn't say anything as his hair covered his eyes, but inwardly Mephiles grinned as he saw a dark aura surrounding Naruto's body and the ground beneath him beginning to crack. "That's right." He said in an emotionless voice as he stood up. Mephiles was telling the truth…for years he had showed them all that he wasn't a demon like they thought him as, but instead all they do is just try to kill him everysingle day of his life!

"All they do is hurt me…hurt me for something that was out of my control…"

Mephiles could already tell that even though Naruto's voice was emotionless, he could hear the venom and coldness in it.

"And what's worse is that there are others out there just like me and Gaara. They've suffered the same way we have." Here Naruto's emotionless voice started to turn rage as he felt the Nine-Tails chakra surround him. "It's not fair! Why do we have to suffer!? We didn't ask to become Jinchuriki! And we are not somebody's weapons! If only…if only there was something I can do! That way no one else will suffer the same way we have!"

"I can give you an ultimate power." Mephiles stated as Naruto looked at him now. "A power that's even greater then the Nine-Tails and all other Tailed Beasts themselves. All you have to do is set me free and I'll give it to you."

"What about the Nine-Tails?" Naruto asked.

"Oh, yes. Once I give you my powers, I will set you free of the Nine-Tails and send him to the Land of Foxes. That is where his kind lives." Mephiles answered, seeing the shock look on the boy's face. "Yes. With my powers, you can protect those that truly matters to you. Like The Ramen Family, the young Sarutobi child and his friends, the Bridge Builder's family, and most of all your fellow Tailed-Beast holders, also known as, Jinchuriki. People who are your true and real friends!"

Naruto looked at him then at the seal that was on his stomach. Power…power that's even greater then the Nine-Tails and others like him? Does that mean…that they two also had the same fate as he and Gaara did from their Villages!? And that was all that the Jinchuriki was to them, nothing but weapons of mass destruction to be used against on other Villages, and they were not even seen as humans at all! The thought of it made him unbelievably angry. He grabbed the Scepter and looked at it closely seeing a mass of darkness in it.

"I'll show them…" Naruto thought darkly as he remembered the words the Konoha 9 said to him.

"My mother was right about you! You really are a demon! Don't come near me you damn monster!"

"Troublesome Demon!"

"Why don't you go away Loser! Sasuke is better than you!"

"I'm gonna turn you into a chew toy fox!"

"Unyouthful monster!"

"I can't believe I actually fell in love with you! I HATE YOU NARUTO UZUMAKI!"

"…"

"Looks like your going to be my new target practice Nine-Tails!"

"You're going to pay for what you did to our home!"

"Why don't you go and die Uzumaki. That is what you are fated for anyway."

"I'LL SHOW EVERY LAST ONE OF THOSE BASTARDS!" Naruto shouted in his head as he raised the Scepter up and screamed as he slammed it to the ground really hard, causing a small crater to be formed and cracks to be heard from the Scepter.

Music: Mephiles' Theme [Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)]

A surge of purple and black energy erupted from the Scepter as it got destroyed. Naruto backed away from it and saw a mass of darkness fly into the sky. The young blond watched as it flew around in circles before it came crashing down on him, covering up his body.

"AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!"

Naruto screamed out as he felt his body starting to change. While this was happening, he could feelthe Nine-Tails leaving the seal on his body. While he screamed, he noticed that a crimson red chakra was in the sky and it took the shape of the Nine-Tails. It roared as it disappeared into the sky. After the fox disappeared Naruto could also feel a new surge of power running through him. A new kind of dark power that he's been holding back for all his life! And it felt…good! Amazing! The former holder of the Nine-Tails stood up, being now taller, as the black mass of darkness still covered his entire body before it completely disappeared and black smoke erupted from him. He opened up his, revealing that he has now unlocked the Ledgendary Dojustu in history.

"Rinnegan." Naruto spoke in a much deeper voice.

End of Flashback

After that day, Naruto continued to travel while training with his new found powers and dojutsu. And in only a few days, he managed to get it down. With the news powers that Mephiles gave him, he was able to call these dark creatures . Powerful dark creatures! He also began to make a name for himself as went after every Missing-Nin and Bandits, killing them and even saved people's lifes from becoming slaves or saving their village from being destroyed. Thanks to that, he was now in the Bingo Book as SSS Rank. While he was still traveling, he also couldn't help but think about his parents. For his mom, he loved her very much, seeing how she spent the last moment of her life to him what she wanted him to do, but he had mixed feelings for his father. He was pissed at his father for putting him through that hell, even though he had hated to admit that what he did was right. He was also happy to know that his father actually trusted him in controlling the Nine-Tails and no other child.

It ain't like Naruto hate the man, no he respects his father very much, it's just that his father put too much faith in the villagers. So he shouldn't hate his father, he should hate the villagers, especially Tsunade, Jiraya, and Hiruzen. The old fool better be lucky that he's dead, cause Naruto would've killed him in cold blood.

And then there were the Jinchuriki. Just the mere thought of them being used for nothing more than weapons made Naruto grit his teeth and ball his fists up in anger as dark aura appeared in his hands.

There was also the Uzumaki Clan. Naruto had traveled to the Land of Whirlpools where the Uzumaki Clan came from and he was saddened when he saw the state of the country but then growled. If that old bastard Sarutobi had helped his family in the first place, then this country and his clansmen would still be alive right now. When he explored the ruins, he found a couple of lost Uzumaki Scrolls, and thanks to his Shadow Clones, he was able to learn everything…though it caused him to get massive headaches. But it was all worth it as he unlocked his Chakra Chains.

Then there was the Nine-Tails. Right after he was released, the fox came back. They talked for a few and he gave Naruto a Fox Summoning Scroll. That way, Naruto can call upon the Nine-Tails or any of his fellow Foxes. The Nine-Tails, named Kurama, also told Naruto that when he have Kits of his own, his foxes will protect them. After that, Naruto knew that old perverted bastard Jiraya, his godfather, would try to use the Toad Summoning Contract he signed just to get him back to the Village by using Reverse Summoning. So with his final thoughts, he summoned Gamakichi, who was surprised/shocked by Naruto's change and then angered when Naruto told what happened in the Leaf.

The young Toad agreed to tell his father and the Elder Toads about what happened and to cancel Naruto's contract. Gamakichi said his final goodbye to Naruto and went home. Jiraya was in deeptrouble when Chef and the Elders heard of this, along with the Leaf Village.

Naruto had to admit that he was surprised when he found out that Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox that everyone was so scared of, had a family of his own. He has a wife named Yasaka, who's the Golden Nine Tails Fox, and a little girl named Kunou, a Three-Tailed Fox, who looked exactly like her mother. If Naruto had to guess then there's no doubt in his mind that the girl has Kurama's personailty. And it brought a smile on his face.

"Papa?" A small voice asked.

Naruto blinked. He turned his head and saw it was a three year old girl that called him. She has sun-kissed blond hair that touch her shoulders and ocean blue eyes like Naruto's. She was currently wearing a black and orange pajama outfit and she was holding a toy fox.

"Yami?" Naruto walked up to her and picked her up, before walking back inside the apartment he and his daughter were currently using for now. "What are you doing up? It's way past your bedtime."

"I had to go and take a pee pee" Yami yawned as she rubbed her eyes cutely. "After I was done, I saw you were outside. What were you doing Papa?"

"Just…remembering the past and trying to forget the terrible ones." Naruto said honestly. "Let's go get some sleep, we got a big day tomorrow."

"We do?" Yami asked curiously.

"Yup." Naruto nodded as he smirked at his daughter. "You and me are going to go see Gaara and his siblings."

"Really!?" Yami asked, her eyes filled with excitement. She had heard all the stories that Naruto would tell her about Gaara of the Desert and needless to say she was his second biggest fan, with her father obviously being the first.

Seeing the excitement in his daughter's eyes along with the smile warmed Naruto's heart to the core. Even though during one of his travels when he's considered a cold killer, he always did have soft spots when it comes to children. Seeing them bright and happy, so full of life. Who doesn't like that?

"Really really." Naruto smiled. He sat her down on the bed and pulled the blanket up. "Now go get some sleep okay?

"Okay…" Yami yawned as she slowly fell asleep.

After Yami closed her eyes, Naruto couldn't help but frown. The reason why they were heading to the Sand Village was because he knew that the Akatsuki was already attacking. Which meant that they were going to be after Gaara and the rest of the remaining Jinchuriki. He didn't know what they were planning with the Tailed-Beasts, but it was definitly trouble. And…once they come after him, they'll be wanting to have Kurama, and since he's not sealed inside Naruto no more, they'll be wanting his location. And that meant they'll use his daughter as a hostage if they wanted to have answers.

The thought of his losing his only child, scared Naruto to death. He already lost her mother…and there was no way in hell he's going to lose Yami too! Cause if he did…then…he didn't know what he'd do!

Naruto turned to his daughter and kissed her on her forehead, causing a smile to form on her face which was reflected on Naruto's face. He looked a head in the distance, staring at the direction they were going.

"Don't worry brother…I'm coming."
