Note:This Chapter Is Naruto remembering it with him having a bit of dialog in between a few of the paragrahs.
Prologue:Betrayal Of A Hero
They say us Jinchuriki should fall in line,they say we should bow down too those weaker than us,that we should allow them to walk over us,and forfeit our entire lives for the ungrateful,tortures village that would have rather killed us the day we were born then have us alive at this moment.
Naruto rushed through the Forest of Konohagakure as a team of Konoha ninja followed closely behind. He cursed under his breath,having hoped to get a farther head start from the village.
Jumping into the air,his white fourth Hokage like cloak with black flames on his started flapping in the wind as he sent a barrage of poisoned Senbon at the team.
But I refused to bow down to anyone.I refused to be used as a stepping stone for someone who would never catch up to me,but as Konoha is as blind as the entire world,only seeing what they want,I bid my time and played my part until no one could beat me.
He smirked in satisfaction and continued his track as it halted the ninja for a moment,long enough for him to get to his destination. The dark orange headed ninja,having altered it with the Kyuubi's chakra in honor of Pein,sat on a gigantic stone head as the team of Konoha ninja broke through the tree line,"Naruto!"
Pein...he was the only one,besides myself,who could actually see the line between good and evil while everyone else...well they're just lost in an endless shade of gray,seeing and believing what they want to as we saw and believed what was forced upon us,seeing past their evil lies that they said was for the greater good.
"So you finally made it?Well,just to be fair...you did make it here far before I thought you would!"
"What are you doing Naruto!We found Hinata this morning!She said you abandoned the village!"
"That's right.I did. And now,to prove just how much I hate that hell hole,and all of you in it,I'm going to handicap you lot right...about...NOW!"And with that he drew his hand made Kris Knife(Think Jason Todd's Red Hood Knife...from the comics)
I mean sure,at first when I was small,and my 'Jiji' was feeding me those lies,I believed them. But as I got older I stopped believing just like people stop believing in little fairy tales as they become old. And as I got older I learned things from spying on people. One of those things being forgery. And through that knowledge, unknowingly lent to me from someone who hated my guts,I forged a very special knife before I tested it out on him.
The Konoha ninja's eyes widened. They had never seen a weapon quite like that before."So... Kakashi, Sasuke,Sakura,Neji,Lee,Tenten,Ino...Do you want to know what makes this knife so special?Even is you survive it,you will never heal back properly!Sure,if I cut your hand off,maybe,just maybe Tsunade can heal it back on...but it will never heal back properly. You wouldn't ever be able to use that hand again!
Which is why,we settle things here and now. And trust me,even if you all survive and I do as well there will not be a 'Next Time'...Now...come Konoha ninja...come so I can show you true...PEIN!"
And since that day,I have always dreamed of taking my Kris knife to a Konoha ninja,no matter what their rank. No matter if they were Anbu,Jounin,Chunin,Genin,hell I didn't even care if it was a ninja academy student or the damn Hokage him/herself.I just wanted to see them try to continue their career, try to continue being a ninja after I had permanently injured them. But more then that,I've always wanted to see them beg as I ended their life with it!
Naruto jumped forwards with his knife and attacked the team,Rock Lee was the first to be attacked. Naruto swiped at the boy,landing a major cut on his chest before he swung backwards,only to have Ino duck underneath the Kris nife. He didn't seem to care as he kicked the girl in her face and Sasuke attacked from behind,but Naruto jumped into the air and preformed a double backflip before landing behind them.
Swinging the knife,he gashed Kakashi's back,straight through the red spiral on the back of his Jounin vest before kicking him away. Sasuke acted in speed,unsheathing his Kusangi Sword given to him by Orochimaru."I'm shocked Sasuke!Trying to kill me again!"Naruto cried out in fake hurt before laughing at him.
"You saved me from this path Naruto!You pulled me from it after I had already taken it!You saved me from being executed!Now I'm returning the favor!"Swinging the sword,Naruto caught Sasuke's hand much like Sai had the first time Team Seven had encountered Sasuke again. Neji and Tenten rushed to save the Raven haired boy as Naruto unsealed a scroll,sending an endless barrage of Kunai at them,forcing Neji to preform his Spiraling protection technique(Not sure what it's called...)
I planned for years to kill the traitorous bastards I called 'friends'!I trained myself to exhaustion,spilled as much of my blood as humanly possible!fought to stay alive!I survived!All so I could get my revenge for the names people called me like 'Demon','Satan Child','The disease of Konoha',all of those and more!I survived the trials of my life for my Revenge for the lies the people in my village told me in cowardice!But most of all,I survived so I could have my revenge for all the beatings!The beatings that scarred me forever,mentally and emotionally!
Naruto grinned before lifting the knife into the air as an insane glint entered his eyes."I'm sure you remember that wonderful speech about my Kris knife here,about how,even if it is healed by Tsunade herself,a hand that has been disconnected from the body by this knife will never work again,right?Well, I'm about to prove it!Here,and now!"
All of the Konoha ninja watched on in shock as Naruto brought the knife down to sever his best friend's sword hand from his arm. Though Sasuke pulled away in time for the knife to only give a small amount of damage. Sasuke still screamed in pain before Naruto slashed his left eye,creating a scar effect,much like Kakashi's,and making the eye useless at the moment as he had pulled back again,keeping it from being permanently damaged.
Smiling in satisfaction though,Naruto kicked Sasuke away from him as Neji finished blocking the Kunai before he and Tenten rushed Naruto. Naruto waited for them patiently with a bored look on his face. And then...they struck as Naruto fought back. Tenten threw weapons at Naruto,which he Blocked with his Kris knife,as he also tried to evade Neji's Jyuuken strikes at the same time.
And this was the day I decided I no longer needed the leaf. This was the day I decided that I no longer needed to play the fool in everyone's stupid little games ...was the day I decided that,if the leaf had wanted me to be a monster,a demon that would kill them at a moments notice,if all they viewed me as was,was their weapon to get their little suicide missions done,well then I would show them their monster,I would become their demon. And there wasn't a damn thing they could do about it!
But Naruto could only hold out so long as Lee finally joined the the fight. Soon Naruto started taking a multitude of damage. Suddenly,a large,black,rectangle like object protruded from the ground,before sending out a poison that stunned Lee into unconciousness
Neji and Tenten stopped their assaults in shock as they stared at the suddenly unconciuose body of their teammate. Naruto smirked darkly before he muttered,"...Boom..."his body expanded quickly before it exploded,sending poison into the immediate area around him,which Neji and Tenten were in. As they breathed in the poison,it quickly entered their bodies,and expanded,sending their bodies into a death like state,much like how Haku had done to Zabuza Mommochi,making them useless .
Another Naruto broke through the tree line before throwing his Kris knife at at Kakashi,who had his back turned to him,hitting it in the center of where the red spiral used to be and the center of the gash from earlier. Naruto smiled darkly again before reaching into his back pouch and pulling out a pair of wind chakra blades like Asuma Sarutobi used to use,though the blades of these were exactly like his Kris knife.
"bullseye!"Naruto called as Sakura and Ino turned and gasped in shock as they watched Kakashi bleed,blood spilling from his mouth and staining his black mask as he lost conciousness.
I'm not their puppet anymore,and now that I think about it,I never was!I am their nightmare!Their Boogeyman!The man who waits for the day where he can watch them struggle as they claw the ground to get away as he descends upon them and send them to the next life where they will burn in hell for all of the acts of treason they have preformed!For all of the people they have cheated and then beaten!For the men,women and children they have killed!And for that little naive boy they used to torture and test his sanity!All of the people they have driven to insanity!Yes,they will all Burn...in...hell!
"Who's next?"Naruto questioned them as they both charged. But as they got closer,Naruto's eyes widened as he felt a presence behind and rolling away from the spot he was at,he was surprised to see the almost right handless and almost left eyeless Sasuke. Naruto gasped. He ...he had the Raijin.
"You're coming back to the village Naruto!Even if we both have to break each other's bones!"Naruto stared directly into Sasuke's eyes...er...eye,showing he was completely serious.
"Well then,come on Sasuke,so I can break your bones and keep my promise from the last time we fought at The Valley Of The End!"Sasuke glared at Naruto before charging,which Naruto responded to in kind.
But,as they got close to each other,Naruto slashed Sasuke's already hurt right arm making Sasuke drop down onto his knees and scream in pain. Naruto frowned,this wasn't feeling as great as great as he thought it would. His revenge didn't feel right...
I entered a state I had never been in before that was as if I was watching my body go and do something that I had said I wanted to do my whole life,yet I didn't want to anymore. Atleast not like this that!But it was too late to go back.I hadn't done the multitude of damage I had planned in my head,but I had done enough to get myself executed...No...going back to the village...it was definatley not an option anymore.
Ino charged Naruto again as he narrowed his eyes. He wouldn't win with all three of them always alternating his attention. He backflipped over Sasuke before rushing to charge Ino. But, before they could clash,Sasuke jumped up,his shoulder meeting Naruto's chin before he rolled away and grabbed both his Kusangi and the Raijin No Ken.
Naruto growled as he wiped away the small amount of blood that dribbled down his chin before looking to where he had dropped his Knuckle Kris. He frowned in displeasure. It was too far for him to get them without being decapitated. He looked around for his Kris Knife and found it by Kakashi's downed form,Sakura having pulled it out before trying to heal him.
Naruto knew that they couldn't do anything for Lee,Neji or Tenten because it was just knockout gas,but she could heal Kakashi to where he just had a scar on his back. He snarled at Sasuke as he called out to him,"Pick your weapon Naruto!"
"So that's how you want it?You want a weapon fight?Fine!But you should be careful what you want Sasuke!"Naruto called back as he took a scroll out of the same pouch he had drew his Knuckle Krises from. He bit his thumb before spreading his blood over the blood seal on it.
The result was a loud poof as Sasuke gasped at what came out. Two swords. The handle to one was pure white and in the shape of a cross with wings spreading out from the sides of it. The bottom of the cross extended down into a hand that appeared to have a gown arm hole pooling around it and a bracelet with a Halo and cross on the wrist holding a 'Ying-Yang' Symbol.
The other sword's hilt was pure black extending straight downwards into a demonic clawed hand with the Kanji for crimson carved into it with red on it's wrist. It also was holding the same 'Ying-Yang' symbol. But besides the 'Ying-Yang' symbol,the most important thing about the sword that was exactly the same as the other was that the blades were exactly the same as Naruto's Kris Knife and Knuckle Kris Knifes.
Sasuke gulped as he thought to himself,'I felt the Kris Knife and the Knuckle Kris Knife,they both can permanently end someone's career if they don't kill you!If he gets me with those!Then...that's it!I'll be done!I'll-"
"Going back on your word again Sasuke?I thought you were going to break every bone in my body!But you're not going to are you Sasuke?"Sasuke growled at Naruto.
"You're coming with us Naruto!"
"It'll have to be over my dead body instead of my broken one then Sasuke!"No more words were exchanged between them as they attacked.
That day I showed them, evenif I hadn't wanted to anymore,I showed them,that I didn't need them!That I was better!That I had always been better!And that none of them had any chances of catching up to someone like me!I proved,that no one should ever underestimate the name:Uzumaki,Naruto!
Naruto's and Sasuke's swords clashed,surprising Sasuke that his Kusangi hadn't faded through the sword."What-"Naruto cut him off by laughing.
"All of my Kris weapons are special. I mean,sure ,your sword is special in its own right,but mine's more special than yours!"Naruto exclaimed,almost speaking Sasuke's exact speech from The Valley Of The End 4 years ago.
"My Kris weapons,"Naruto continued his explanation,"Is made from a very special metal!This metal was made to be the counter part of The Kusangi!It turns the Kusangi into nothing but a regular sword!And don't even try trying to electrocute me with the Raijin!
I placed my blood and chakra into the blades,therefore they only chakra that will channel through the sword is my Chakra,and I am the only one who can use their special abilities!"
"Special...abilities?"Sasuke asked in shock. What else could the two swords possibly do?
"That's right,Angel,the white one,produces white lightning. Demon ,the black one of course,produces black flames!"Sasuke's eyes widened .
"Amertarasu-"
"No,but just as deadly."Sasuke broke the sword stand-off,before charging back and aimed for Naruto's right arm,but was blocked by Angel as Naruto tried to Decapitate him with Demon. Sasuke ducked under the sword and rolled away,once again losing his Kasangi in the process.
Naruto applied a small amount of Kyuubi's chakra to his right foot before he stomped on the blade,shattering it into millions of pieces. him. Sasuke snarled at Naruto.'Damn it!How did Naruto get so strong!Was...was he always holding back?Were we that blind not to see-'
"What're you thinking about Sasuke?"Naruto called out to him. Sasuke narrowed his eye as it became a piercing red with three comas in it. Naruto smirked at Sasuke.
"That old thing?Pfft..."Naruto relaxed his stance before going into a completely different stance,completely relaxed,as the real Naruto and next movement became the real Naruto and hundreds of movements he could possibly take.
Sasuke snarled again and mumbled something under his breathe before deactivating the sharingan. Naruto smirked darkly at his Sasuke before swinging his swords with a purpose,he pointed angel to the skies and Demon to the ground.
That day,Sasuke looked to 'break every bone in my body' so he could take me back to that Hellhole. He looked to not only break me physically by beating me in battle,but also breaking me mentally by dragging me back to that traitorous village that had been filled with the people that had tortured me so many times. But his plan had one small problem that day.He didn't break me...I broke him!
"Fire Style:Flames of the defensive Abyss!"Sasuke tried to move out of the way of the black flames that sprouted from the ground,dropping Raijin in the process,before finding out that the flames followed him and kept him trapped in a hellish circle.
Naruto,noticing the two Konuichi taking care of Kakashi so close together,proceeded to call out,"Lightning Style:Heavenly cross of protection!"A cross formed underneath the girls and Kakashi,them being in the middle,before it spread out. Suddenly ,Lightning shot from the sky and surrounded the cross in a diamond shape,thus preventing them from escaping,much like the black flames were doing to Sasuke.
Naruto smiled in satisfaction before unsealing Angel and Demon's scabbards and slinging them onto his back. He quickly sheathed them before finding his Knuckle Kris Knifes and returning them to their pouch and his Kris Knife,which it went to its place on his right hip.
Walking over near Sasuke,he bent down and picked up the Raijin No Ken."I think for all of my efforts,"Naruto stated,"I'll be taking this. Now ,when backup gets here,you'll need Jiraiya to use his Rasengan to blow these flames away as it's the only thing that can put these out.
And the lightning...well you'll be needing to wake Kakashi up for they only responds to the raikiri and sense you only know the watered down version,Chidori,well,you see where this is all going...right?"
With that Naruto spun on his heels and shot off into the trees of the forest leading away from the village of Konohagakure."NARUTO!"Sasuke cried in rage as he tried to find a way past the black flames of the Abyss.
A short way aways,Naruto stopped for a moment before frowning.'I'm sorry.'He thought.'But this is how it has to be. You guys have great lives.'While thinking,Naruto took off Into the trees.'I mean,Sakura,you're Tsunade's apprentice! You're admired and revered all over!
Neji,you're a branch house by blood that has the most potential ever!Tenten,you've acomplished your dream of wanting to prove that the Kunoichi aren't weak. And Lee ,you and Maito guy are two of the greatest Taijutsu users in history.
Ino,you're on your way to being the greatest Anbu Yamanaka. And Kakashi-Sensei...you're what all ninjas aspire to be You're what we all want to be like...in battle anyway...You're a romodel to everyone around you,even if they won't admit it.
Me?I'm the village's scapegoat,the one who takes the blame for for everything. Sasuke defecting,they blamed it on me. The retrieval mission failure,they blamed it on me,Sound attacking,they blamed that on me too.I'm sorry things turned out as they did but...this is how it has to be...'as he thought this,a single tear escaped his eye.
He had wanted to get away from that Hellhole alright...but not at the cost of hurting his friends like he had. Especially Kakashi. He almost killed him!And he would have had it not been for Sakura. Naruto was glad he was alive,even if it put his escape at risk.
~Back at the Battle Grounds~
A team of highly trained anbu ninja dropped from the trees onto the ground and looked around at the carnage caused by Uzumaki,Naruto."...Damn!"
"How the fuck did one kid do all of this to six ninja!"
"I don't know...But Tsunade-Sama and Jiraiya-Sama aren't going to like this...not...one...bit..."
"They might not,but the civilains will probably throw a fucking parade!"
"Tsunade-Sama will probably slaughter them if they do!"
"Come on you slackers!These Shinobi are injured!We do not have time to have a nice friendly chat!Now get to work!"
"Hai Taicho!"
"Yes sir!"
"Hai!"
~Cargo Ship heading across the 'Void',Destination:Gotham City~
A man of average height with brown hair,an eyepatch over his left eye and a green eye looked around the deck wearily before he began heading to the steering wheel of the boat. Suddenly there was a 'thump' on the boat as someone talked.
"Hello."The man swung around and almost had a heart attack as he saw an orange headed,blue eyed blond wearing a black jumpsuit and a white cloak with black flames. But what scared him the most was the knife at his hip and the swords on his back.
"W-what do you want!"
"You're going across the 'Void'...right?"
"Hai."Naruto smiled before pulling a bag of coins out of his back pouch before throwing it at the feet of the man.
"Just let me hide out in the cockpit till we get to your destination and I don't have to kill you and take the boat. Do you have any objections about that?"
"A-Aie."The captain stuttered out.
"Good!"With that,Naruto quickly ran and hid in the cockpit as the Captain began steering the boat.
The village of Konoha may or may not have sent a back up team,they may not. If they did,I don't know,because if they did they never caught the boat,but more importantly,they never caught me.After I boarded the boat,four short days later,I arrived at Gotham. There,I began hearing all of these heroic tales about 'The Batman'.So everynight,I searched for him,only catching glimpses of him,most of those times of hi riding his Batcycle. And then,I finally had a stroke of luck.
~Gotham City,One Month After the arrival of Uzumaki,Naruto~
Naruto sat,perched in the shadows as he watched Batman bring down Penguine before tying him to a light pole and returning to his Batcycle before driving away. Naruto narrowed his eyes before pumping chakra into his legs and feet and shooting off across the rooftops.
Naruto followed the Batcycle closely,but far enough away that Batman wouldn't see him. The, suddenly, they came upon a secret entrance. Naruto's eyes widened as he made a mad dash for the entrance before ducking and rolling,barely making it into the entrance.
He sat back against the secret entrance opening,panting as he he did. He wouldn't do what he had planned right now,he would be decimated if he did. After all he had seen Batman fight enough times to know he had no chance without his Kris weapons,but he had,had to leave those behind as Batman's eyes were much better trained than a ninjas.
A few hours later,Naruto began his track up the long narrow secret road. At the end of it,he was rewarded with the sight of a cave filled with suits,armors,weapons,a computer,the Batcycle,The Batcar and...bats...Walking around,he began looking at all of the suits of villains and heroed. After all,he only had one chance at this,and he wanted the suit that fit him the most.
Stopping at a containment tube with a plaque labeling it 'Jason Todd,Red Hood',he started applying chakra to his right index finger's nail before lowering it to the keyhole. He almost inserted it to open the containment tube,but he noticed another suit out of the corner of his right eye.
He smirked as he picked himself up and walked to the suit. It was a black and gray Batman suit with two short ears,red eyes instead of the usually white eyes,at the shoulders of the cape,two 'spikes' came up on each side,a metal mouth plate with breathing holes and a gray utility. It was labeled 'Jason Todd,Batman' on the plaque,but the engraved word of 'Batman' had a huge gash mark,intentionally put there.
Naruto got down on one knee before applying chakra to his index finger nail again. He slowly slid his finger into the keyhole keeping the suit contained before snatching his finger to the side,causing a satisfying 'Click'.There was a slow and quite 'Woosh' as the containment tube was lifted up.
Naruto removed the suit from its resting place before slipping out of his clothes and slipping it on. He found it particularly satisfying that the metal plate kept his mouth hidden from view. He quickly formed a Rasengan in his right hand before slowly scrapping off the 'Jason Todd,Batman' with it before he took a Batarang from the utility belt on the suit and engraved '? ? ?,The Black Bat' on the plaque.
Looking around,he realized he had to get out of the cave fast before the real batman came back. Seeing the BatCycle,he nodded. He had caught enough glimpses of the Batman on it to know how to turn it on and operate it. Looking down at his clothes,he frowned. Naruto couldn't have Batman getting his DNA Reaching into one of the pouches on the belt,he produced a match.
Striking it on the bottom of his boot,he dropped it on the clothes before rushing to the Batcycle and jumping onto the seat and turning the Batcycle on.
~Upstairs~
Bruce Wayne's eyes snapped open as he heard tires pealing out in the Batcave,before the smell of smoke assaulted his nose. Jumping out of his bed,he rushed out into his hallway and to the secret entrance from his house to the Batcave,followed closely by Alfred.
Bruce raced down the stairs and found something on fire,he couldn't tell what it was as it had burned quick. He immediately stamped the fire out with his foot before looking at the containment tube the fire had been in front of. His eyes narrowed as he found it empty.
Noticing the engraving had been changed he kneeled down and read,"? ? ?,The Black Bat.'Looking around the cave for anymore clues,he saw that the Batcycle had been stolen. Bruce jumped to his feet before letting a scowl take over his features as he mumbled something unintelligable under his breath.
Turning away from the scene that caused the man to experience rage unlike ever before,he walked to the BatComputer."Will you be working late again tonight,sir?"Alfred asked.
"Yes."Bruce ground out in reply.
That night I did something Unimagible.I stole something important to The Batman right out from under his nose. But after that,I had to flee Gotham. It was much like if I had stayed in the elemental countries,Konoha would have hunted me to no end,and if I had stayed in Gotham after stealing a Batman suit and the Batcycle,Batman would hunt me to no end. And one Batman was worse then any amount of Konoha ninja!So I ventured away from Gotham on my stolen Batcycle.
~Jump City,2 weeks after the theft of Jason Todd's 'Batman' suit~
Jinx,Gizmo and Mammoth sat in a Hive secret base of Jump city panting. It was around 10:00 P.M and they had just pulled off a major heist and even got away from the Teen Titans!"We should be put in the Super villains Hall of Fame!"Gizmo cried out.
"I know!I'd just love to see anyone who's ever done something better than this!"Mammoth replied.
"Will you two be quite!"Jinx snapped."Do you want the Titans to find us?"
"Please,those Snot Faces couldn't catch us even if they had Batman with them they wouldn't be able to find us!As a matter of fact,no one can find us!"
"Oh,I doubt that."Looking up,the Hive Three almost had heart attacks. There ,standing in the rafters of one of their most secretive hideouts was...
"Hello."
"The Batman!"
This was when I,Konoha's greatest failure,abandoned them. This is when I,Konoha's greatest hero betrayed them and left the village to rot In its lies and hate. This is the Dawn of The Black Bat,Naruto Uzumaki!
