A/N: Sorry for the wait. I got into playing some Dragon Age and got caught up in Deadman Wonderland. I have always wanted to try a Naruto/Deadman Wonderland story. I hope you enjoy!
Chapter one: The Flamingo.
Somewhere in the center of the Elemental Nations lies a place called 'Deadman Wonderland' a super max prison and theme park all rolled into one. The attractions? The inmates themselves. Convicts and fugitives from across the Nations. Both Civilian and Shinobi.
This however was but the surface. Underneath it all, it was a facility to gather and research those called 'Deadmen'. People capable of manipulating their blood into weapons. And the source of these individuals is the dubbed 'Wretched Egg'. The very first Deadman.
Deep in the bowels of the Prison was one Naruto Uzumaki. A Deadman that had been sentenced to prison two years ago when he used his Branch of Sin against one Sasuke Uchiha who had gone rogue. Naruto returned the barely living Uchiha but was sent to Deadman Wonderland by the manipulations of Danzo and Jiraiya. Since his incarceration he received letters from Tsunade, who kept reporting on her progress to freeing him from his unfair sentence.
She had been fighting tooth and nail for his freedom, and she was supported by the Shinobi clans to boot. But Jiraiya and the Elders kept stonewalling her at every turn. But she was gaining more and more traction as power slipped away from the Civilians.
In his cell he was kept company by a young albino girl with red eyes and snowy white hair. Her name was Shiro. The day he first arrived the two met in his cell while she was trying to hide as she ate some treats. The two almost immediately bonded and became fast friends. She was his closest friend and she loved spending time with him.
"Hey boss. The crew is all set here." Spoke a feminine voice which belonged to one Karako. A Deadman dubbed 'Game Fowl.' Karako was another friend of Naruto's that he had made. And in secret, a part-time friend with Benefits . She also served as one of his enforcers in his growing influence of Deadman Wonderland.
The blonde got up and put his shirt back on after finishing his push-ups. "Thanks Kara-chan. I'll be there." He responded as he patted Shiro on the head like a pet, to which the Albino giggled while shoving another cookie into her mouth.
The Dark Skinned Deadman chuckled as she left. After a drink of water the blonde followed after her with Shiro in tow. After a few steps down a hallway and taking a left they ended up in a lounge room. He sat down a plush couch with Shiro bouncing into his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck. In this room had gathered the growing force within Deadman Wonderland.
Naruto 'The Flamingo' Uzumaki. The head of the Family and undisputed leader. Don't let the Name Flamingo fool you though. Many made that mistake and ended up in bread boxes. The name was assigned to him as a joke by the Promoter for Deadman Wonderland Tamaki or 'The Weasel bastard' as Naruto calls him. At first it was believed the blonde to be the weakest Deadman but that was proven wrong when he learned to control his Branch of sin.
Shiro aka 'The Wretched Egg'. Shiro became somewhat of a mascot to the family due to her closeness with the Blonde. Her other half the 'Wretched Egg' however holds a grudging respect for Naruto after the two had a fierce duel that ended in a draw. In either persona she is fiercely loyal to him to the point some believe they're more than friends. But it has never been confirmed.
Senji 'The Crow' Kiyomasa. Another Deadman who holds a deep respect for Naruto who had trumped him at every turn when they dueled in the Carnival Corpse, or Deadmen Duels. He lost to the blonde and then his eye was extracted. But he held no hatred for the loss of his eye towards Naruto.
Minatsuki 'The Hummingbird' Takami. Before hers and Naruto's duel she attempted to beguile him and make it so he wouldn't wish to fight her in the duels. This immediately backfired as he could see through her deception. And in the duels she was beaten within an inch of her life. Since then she proclaimed Naruto to be 'a real man worth following'.
Chaplin 'The Peacock' Sukegawa. A Male turned female Transgender. At first she used to hit on the blonde due to his name as the Flamingo in order to tease him. But he cooly turned her down each time. He wasn't freaked out and was generally accepting of her being Transgendered. The two held a friendly yet respectable and professional relationship and she was one of his most loyal enforcers.
Idaki 'The Condor' Hitara. The eldest Deadman amongst them but no less capable in combat. He took it upon himself to serve as a mentor to Naruto. During the two years of Naruto's incarceration he taught the boy much about math, science and so forth. Which inadvertently leading Naruto to be an even more capable leader.
Nagi 'The Owl' Kengamine. The former leader of a group called Scar Chain who attempted to get secret information about Deadman Wonderland's true face out to the public. The whole operation turned into a disaster due to a member of his group was actually a traitor and member of the Anti-Deadmen corps known as the Undertakers. Naruto saved both him and Karako from certain death. Since then he has served as the Blonde's advisor.
Karako 'Game Fowl' Koshio. The former second in command of Scar Chain and as mentioned earlier a friend with benefits to Naruto. She occasionally acts the part of his big sister, partly influenced from her time as a nurse. She now serves as his enforcer. Keeping the nameless and unimportant throwaway thugs under their command in line and occasionally cracking the heads of anyone that spoke badly of the Flamingo.
Azami Mido. She had no bird name due to her in fact, being a Forgery. Or a Fake Deadman created to combat the real thing. Forgeries are made to wear masks that most logically control the wearers by electrically stimulating the nucleus accumbens, a major controller of pleasure and addiction in the brain. This allowed them to be controlled by Tamaki. Azami was freed from this and she quickly moved to prove herself and join the Blonde's inner circle by bringing him the hearts of ten Forgeries. Leading her to become his 'knife in the dark'.
Last and certainly not least, the Head of security of Deadman Wonderland, the Chief Warden Makina. Whom formerly served as a Samurai before Deadman Wonderland was built. Shortly after Naruto arrived an inmate called Kozuji and his thugs attempted to rape and/or murder her. This plot however was foiled when the blonde discreetly warned Makina. In response she sent Kozuji down to a cell block that had an unusually large number of Bull queers. Needless to say he was veeery careful not to drop the soap. In thanks she arranged for Naruto a nicer solitary cell and protection from the guards. Since then she has continued to do so, allowing him to expand his growing power throughout the prison with the security staff on his side.
"Well, time to get down to business. I trust this meeting was called for a reason? Yes?" spoke the blonde as he played with a lock of Shiro's snowy white hair.
Makina nodded and spoke while resting a hand on her sword "With all due respect I think it's time we make a move. We have all we need to make a critical strike. We no longer need the Wonderland. We can make our own once we finish with Konoha."
The other Family members muttered in agreement. Truth be told they could have escaped at any time during the last six months. But Naruto cut them down each time since he 'didn't feel like it'. They all turned to their boss knowing he had the final say. He tapped a finger against his temple several times in thought. Then he asked "Karako. What's the state of Konoha now?"
The dark-skinned woman crossed her arms and replied "My boys say that things have been deteriorating by the day. And fast. And it's not just about your unfair sentencing. Civilians have been taxing the Shinobi more and more. And The Shinobi are demanding these taxes be removed. Gets worse since one Kizashi Haruno has been declaring that Civilians should run Konoha and not a and I quote 'Drunken half-baked Senju that cares more about a single brat than Konoha and the Uchiha clan.' Rumor has it that there's a plot to overthrow Tsunade."
The blonde grumbled. He couldn't let this stand. Tsunade had worked long and hard trying to free him. She wrote to him all the time to assure him that she hadn't given up. He owed it to her to protect her from this plot.
"…. We're leaving Deadman Wonderland. Nagi. Get the rest of our people. We're going to Konoha. And by damn, I'll either see it under our domination or razed to the ground for its peoples crimes." He spoke with a glare. His gang cheered in excitement as they marched off to get whatever personal possessions they had.
With that the blonde grinned as he hugged Shiro closer who snuggled up into him with a smile. "Just you wait… I'm coming Konoha."
Meanwhile in Konoha.
A mob of Civilians were rioting in the Streets of Konoha waving banners and signs that showed off their desire for Konoha to be 'Civilian controlled'. They chanted as they burned stuffed dummies in the likeness of all five Kages.
From the rooftops Kurenai Yuhi and her longtime friend Anko Mitarashi watched. The former shouted out to the crowd "All Civilians please return to your homes! Please cease this pointless conduct!" the rioting Civilians turned towards them and began jeering at them and shouting insults one of the more colorful and gross of which was when a man shouted that all Kunoichi do is sell their bodies for money.
Then someone threw a beer can at Anko which hit the side of her head with a dull clunk. At that point the Snake Mistress snapped and leapt down to the street. A smirk on her face. She headbutted the closest Civilian then kicked another in his balls. A Civilian woman came at Anko with a baseball bat. The Kunoichi caught it and snapped the bat in half then kicked the Civilian woman in the chest.
The mob quickly dispersed as they realized that numbers of a Civilian nature meant nothing to her. As they ran Anko laughed and spoke "Goddamn. I haven't had this much fun in years." Kurenai then joined her partner and sighed "How long can we keep this up? How'd this even happen?"
The Snake Mistress casually shrugged and replied "Against these roaches? We can keep it up longer than they can. And it's been brewing for years Nai-chan. It's only now these maggots are brave enough to slither out of their own defecation and filth to do it. Maito Gai told me that the Civilian Council is working on some bill to ban Shinobi from taking office as Hokage. If we don't turn this around soon, well, our days are numbered. Ah son of a bitch!" she yelled at the end sending her snake summons after a straggler.
Kurenai shook her head and muttered sadly "What the hell happened to us?! What happened to the Will of Fire?"
Anko in response slapped Kurenai across the face making her fall to the ground . Rubbing the stinging sensation on her cheek. "What happened to the Will of Fire?! Is that a joke? WAKE UP! It came true! You're looking at it! This is what those parasites decided to do with it." Shouted the Snake mistress.
The Genjutsu user gazed out to the carnage and muttered "Kami help us all."
Anko scoffed as she began to walk off "We don't need Kami. We just need someone to put these vermin down." With thatnshe disappeared into the smoke filled streets. And unknown to her… that someone was fast approaching.
End Chapter one.
