Disclaimer- NOTE: This is the only time I shall say this, as everyone who actually bothers to read the story should see this notice on top. I do NOT own Naruto. Wish I did, but I don't. The concept of this story is mine, along with certain plot elements, and ripping me off without permission will bring my wrath upon you. That is not, I repeat NOT, something you want looming over your head. Thank you for reading this disclaimer, and please enjoy the story.

Deus Rex Tyrannus

A spark. That's all it takes to light a fire. To be begin a blaze that could devour the entire world. Then what does it take to start to begin a whirlpool? To form the foundation of a maelstrom, that would engulf even the flames mentioned priorly. What would start the process? It's very simple. All one needs is wind... Or more specifically; a vortex of wind. A vortex, a void. They are one and the same. Once you enter either, no aspect of your being shall ever return. Instead, you shall be replaced. It does not matter what specifically replaces you, just as long as there is something the can fill the new void created by your absence. But some voids can not be filled, at least not by the material world.

Instead, they must be fed aspects of the ethereal. An idea, a concept, something that exists beyond the realm of matter. Anything might do. But then, some voids are like newborns, choicy and specific. To fill them, you must bring what they demand, or they shall deafen you with their screams. The screams of a child, or the screams of a vortex wind, either are sure to damage your ears.

And it would be a void, a Vortex, a MAELSTROM, that would bring about a most catalyseismic event, one that would not only unsettle the shinobi culture, but the entire continent of the Elements (Butai no Kuni). An in the end, it would be all traced back to one figure...

A little boy Known as Naruto. His last name? One can not be sure. But he did not refer to himself as Uzumaki, or Namikaze, or Uchiha, or Inuzuka. No, he called himself...

KAZAMA

Hello Everyone. I must apologize to those waiting for an update to Revolutione ex Machina, as all of my files relating to said story have been corrupted. It's no matter; however, as my brain had ran dry of ideas for how to formulate the text, and I was going to officially put it on indefinite hiatus. No, I am not abandoning the story, so it is not up for adoption. I've just resolved to come back to that story way later on.

Now, many of you may be enraged about this, and justly so. Hence, I have posted this story on the website as compensation, and I fully intend to make far more regular updates with this text. My goal is to obtain a regular output at least 2 chapters per month, and maybe more. Again, I apologize to everyone for the inconvenience. Enjoy the story. If you don't... well, it sucks ass for you. I'm an utterly apathetic& aloof bastard most of the time, so be grateful that I bothered to remember to apologize this time.

Also, for future reference, the way the shinobi system came about is still the same as in Revolutione ex Machina, so refer to that for any history you don't understand in the story.

Flames will be stomped out & their ashes snorted while I dance hard techno, if they are not constructive criticism.
