The Demon of Konoha: Prologue
Hello! I'm Matthew but you'll probably know me as Sasuke most of the time ;) Ok, so he's pretty much a short, opening to the story and I'll get the full chapters of the Core uploaded ASAP! I hope you enjoy and I'm still working out the kinks so go easy! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but this idea, Naruto is the true property of Kishimoto Masashi. Otherwise Ino would replace Sakura!
The sun shone bright on this, particularly special, Konoha morning. Oh yes, it is indeed special. The birds weren't even squawking, they were sound asleep! Only a few early morning workers were up to do whatever they had to do that early. Most of them were construction site workers heading on over to do some repairs after the villages near destruction in the 5th Great Ninja War, which happened just a few months ago. The village had encountered the return of one of their worst opponents. Along with him he had used Madara Uchiha's power, which he withdrew from the Sharingan wielder after he brutally murdered him in cold blood, to bring the 4th tailed Shukaku: The Black Wolf of Demons, along with him. That certain sound-nin was thought to be dead, after Sasuke Uchiha had 'Killed' him. But instead he was using a snake clone, in which he then, after waiting another 3 years, captured the youngest of the Uchiha's with. Once captured, that person used his Re-animation Jutsu to capture the body of Sasuke Uchiha for his own. Sasuke was dead… but Naruto just couldn't accept that.
"!" BEEP!
The sound of an alarm shot through an apartment. It vibrated the walls, and the bed, making anyone who was in the room would have a 'tingling' feeling. A particular blonde hero sat up in bed, fully alert, ready for a battle! He grabbed his kunai out from under his pillow, which he kept there in case of emergencies, and forced chakra into his eyes to help his early morning sight. It would appear to be an odd scene to anyone who was watching, a young man hearing his alarm, which wasn't actually loud to anyone else but him since he had a… well let's just say a 'fox' in the room, shoots out of bed and grabs his kunai from under his pillow as if he just saw a ghost! But to Naruto the sound of the alarm was like the 5th Great Ninja war right in his ear! He realised what it was after a couple of seconds and slumped torso back into bed, flicking the alarm off on the way down. He was still quite traumatised by the war, so much he hardly slept at night, and it had really affected him.
"Ugh…what? No, no just a… (Yawn)… few more... Minutes..." Muttered Naruto Uzumaki lazily to himself. Suddenly his right eye shot open like a bullet.
"8:30! OH NO IM LATE!" He shouted as he took a look at his clock. It was the 31st of March, day 1 of high school. It was a strange date for high school to start, a quarter through the year. He shook off the covers and Naruto jumped out of bed like it was a trampoline, which Iruka sensei used to scold him for doing, onto the wooden edging, and like a fox on all fours, pounced through the open bathroom door and landed barefoot on the cold tiles. He shivered as the chilly floor curled around his heels. He undressed out of his orange PJ's and swung open the glass shower door. He reached to the nob and gripped it tightly, flipping the hot water to full and dived in. The stinging water nipped at his rough skin, as it cascaded off him. He shrugged it off knowing he needed a hot shower for this winter day. He froze for a second and blinked twice.
"Winter… wait it's never been winter in Konoha! We're the village hidden in the leaves, not the village hidden in the goddam snow!" He mentally stated. Konoha was a separate village from most and was dead centre in the country of fire – hottest country in the world. It was hot all the time and when it wasn't hot it was boiling! He could easily tell something was wrong, this had happened before; the city began snowing when he came. He felt uneasy as a chilling wave of cold air over whelmed the shiny bathroom. It wasn't the strange winter air from outside and it cut out the all the intoxicating warmth of the shower. A massive wave of dread and pure fear washed over Naruto like a crashing ocean. He shuddered when he saw it.
"No… NO… NOOOO!" He shouted but nothing, was heard. Naruto began feeling dizzy as a wave of black washed over him. Twice now, waves of different feelings have hit Naruto and h began to feel like he was part of the sea. The Blonde shuddered a bit before feeling dizzy in the temples as he entered his own subconscious.
"Naruto… Naruto! Hey! Kit! Wake-up!"
"Kyubi? What's happening?" Spoke Naruto to his 'inside' voice.
"Why, don't you open your eyes, and TAKE A LOOK, YOU CHILDISH FOOL!" Angrily shouted, at the top of its lungs, an eerie voice, which belonged to the fox spirited shukaku. Naruto opened his eyes and blinked repeatedly. He was a bit dazed before he looked around as his eyes adjusted to the bathroom light. He realised what had happened and decided to step out of the shower. The water was cold, anyway, and the clock across from the bathroom read 9:45am. Late-er.
"But… how…?" Naruto spoke, slowly. He clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, furrowed his brow, narrowed his eyes, let out a foxish growl and began muttering a single, meaningful word under his breath. "Oro-". The door kicked in.
And there you have it! Rate and Review and I'll see ya next 'winter'!
