Betas: Tifer and SharetheBook

This is a Naruto, man, Pandora hearts, Legend of the legendary heroes cross over.

From a young age Naruto knew, he knew that he was many, yet one. He lived life after life and he remembered them all. It was in his third life that he saw a commonality in them, this commonality was that he was hated and feared by everyone around him. Now, in his forth life, Naruto has yet to learn the meaning of humanity because all around him he saw even more monstrous creatures than himself. What did he have to live and die only to live and die again, and again?

In this fanfiction Ryner Lute was executed by Sion, Oz never escaped the Abyss and knows his father sent him there, Allen was executed by the head of the black order after they found out he was the 14th Noah. Sorry for the little rewrite, but I hope you like the idea.

Chapter 1

Naruto sighed as Iruka-sensei called his name, the one thing this village did provide the blue-eyed boy with was education. He ignored the stares that wished for his failure and the glares that wished for his death. It didn't matter where he was Naruto realized that every human was the same. No matter what time he was in, what world he was in nor in what place he was, all humans were the same. They all hated him. They all despised him. They all feared him.

Naruto never wished for this fear, he never wanted it either, but it seems as if God wanted to watch him live this live. Over and over again. When would he be able to rest? When would these constant deaths and rebirths stop? He didn't know.

Why did everyone fear him so much? They feared the blond's power. They feared his for being himself. In his first life Naruto was feared for his cursed eyes; In his second life Naruto was feared because of his abilities; In his third life Naruto was feared because of his cursed arm and that he was the fourteenth Noah of the millennium Earl. In this life he wasn't quite sure why the person of Konoha feared him, but he knew he would find out soon. They called him a monster, just like in every other life he had been given, it was just the matter of what monster he was this time. What monstrous power had he been granted?

Naruto walked into the examination room after Iruka-sensei. There wasn't much in it except for a table, chair and a bunch of papers that presumably had other students final results on them.

"Now, Naruto." Iruka-sensei started. "For the graduation exam you will need to perform the clone jutsu, creating a realistic imitation of something... When you are ready."

Naruto gave a slight nod, acknowledging what the jounin had told him. Then, using his hands the whiskered boy formed the necessary seal, he summoned a clone that look remarkably like him. The clone stood tall and proud as sensei studied it.

"Very good Naruto, now can you do a substitute jutsu."

Again Naruto nodded and performed the hand sign. Where he stood in front of Iruka, there was now a wooden log, Naruto however was using the shadows to his advantage. The young boy was hiding in plain sight.

"Brilliant, Naruto. Lastly, you need to be able to perform a transformation jutsu."

The blond haired boy nodded for what would be the last time, forming a hand seal. Naruto chose to transform himself into his first past self, Ryner Lute. In a poof of smoke, the boy was now a teen with mid-length brown hair and brown eyes, wearing his blue and white uniform. He did these easily, it wasn't as bad as having to perform the magic seals in his first life nor was it as bad as fighting the creatures down in the abyss and it certainly wasn't as bad as activating his innocence and cursed eye.

"Great work Naruto, where did you get the idea for the transformation?" Iruka asked, curious. However he frowned when the boy simply shrugged his shoulders.

From a young age the Uzumaki child had acted more mature and reserved than many of the adults. It had worried him slightly when the jounin saw the child eat things like fruit and vegetables, collecting the seeds afterwards only to plant them in the small piece of land he hand outside his apartment. When Iruka had asked the four year old why he did this, he had told the ninja. "Because I have no money to buy everything I need and I have no patience for people who refuse a paying customer."

It was that child's words that had opened Iruka's eyes to the discrimination and abuse the people of the village put him through, and he was sickened by it. How could he have not seen it before? The cruelty of the people he had spent his life protecting.

"You pass." The jounin told Naruto. However the boy didn't even smile at this, what was the point? Most people saw him as unworthy of the life he had, why did he have to show them such a happy face when they didn't even show him theirs? They only showed him the fake mask that hid the unadulterated hatred and, when that mask falls, Naruto can usually expect a beating or ten. They were just as monstrous as him. No, they were worse. If he was the monster, then they were the devils. There was no such thing as humanity, that is what Naruto had learned long, long ago.

Humanity was supposed to be kind, sympathetic, and empathetic. Yet, why did the blue-eyed boy always see rage, disgust, scorn, all of those dark emotions. Rarely has he seen a kind hearted human, a human that accepted him and his 'monstrous' powers. A human that had never betrayed him. The spiky haired boy knew now that humanity was a false pretense. Humanity was just a word these humans hid behind. If he was the monster, they were the devils.

Naruto walked out of the examination room and too his peers staring at him with the same eyes that were upon him when he walked into the room. The short Uzumaki boy never smiled, never gave away any emotion to show whether he had passed or failed. This, of course, made his class peers glare at him even more.

"I bet he failed." One person sneered, almost excitedly. It was Sakura. Her pink hair was pulled back from her face, enhancing her sea green eyes. Of course, she was glancing at Sasuke, hoping that he would notice her if she insulted Naruto.

"You're probably right." Ino commented cheerfully, and the girl continued to whisper among themselves on how they were going to pass and be on Sasuke's team.

Sasuke silently listened to this, wondering why people did such pathetic things.

Naruto walked out of the classroom and as he did, he saw another jounin ninja leaning against the wall. Mizuki. The ninja had been watching the blond haired jinchuuriki for a while now.

"So, you didn't pass." Mizuki assumed and Naruto let him. "You do know that there is another way for you to pass the exam?"

Naruto remand silent, looking calculatingly at the middle-aged ninja. What could this person possible want with him? And then a couple of memories came to the front of his mind and the blond boy had to resist the urge to roll his eyes. Of course, it was obvious that Mizuki wanted to use him. Just like Sion, Mana and Oz's father. That seemed about right. That was all humans ever did.

So, in reply Naruto raised his eyebrow and said, "Oh! And what's that?"

"There is a scroll, in the Hokage tower, and if you can take it without anyone knowing and learn all the jutsu on it then you can pass the exam."

In truth, Naruto had never heard of this scroll, but the blond wasn't stupid. He knew that if he took this object then Naruto would be blamed for its theft and either be imprisoned or killed. Either choice seem appealing or unappealing, after he had experienced both at least twice in all of his lives.

"No, thank you." The jinchuuriki replied and turned his back on the shocked ninja.

"N-no, thank you?" The ninja spy stutter out.

"Yes, I don't like being blamed for theft nor treason." And with that Naruto walked away.

Walking down the street was much like walking into your own birthday party. All the villagers parted allowing the young boy to walk undisturbed. However unlike a party, Naruto only received malicious looks and the dark shadows that crept over their eyes. Everything about these humans scream DANGER but Naruto ignored it. The whiskered boy wouldn't let these people touch him.

"N-N-Naruto-k-kun." A shy, stuttering voice spoke from behind him.

Naruto turned around to see the blue haired, female byakugan user, Hinata. "Yes?" He asked.

"I-I-I hope you did well in the exam." The girl blurted out with what seemed like immense difficulty, before covering her mouth in embarrassment.

"I passed."

"I s-see, c-c-congratulations."

Naruto nodded his acknowledgement and began walking away but turned around to say, "You too. Congratulations on passing."

This prompted Hinata to give Naruto a dazzling smile. "T-T-Thank you."

As the blond boy walked home he replayed the conversation with Hinata in his head. There was no hidden motives in her words. There was no hidden disgust, hatred or fear. That was a first. Suddenly Naruto was struck with realization that, maybe, just maybe, he had spoken with the only person truly capable of kindness.

For some unknown reason, something shifted in Naruto's gut. Was this what he had been unconsciously searching for? Was this what God wanted to prove to me? That humanity did exist. No! The boy shook his head. Sion did the same thing and then he became king. When Hinata takes her place as clan head, she would just as easily wash her hands of him. And the blond couldn't blame them, he would probably do the same in their position.

Next day

Today was the day that those who passed the exam would be assigned to their teams. These teams will be as close as family, consisting of three genin and one jounin. The members are selected in order to balance out their talents.

"Did you hear?" One of the parents began to whisper loudly to another. "A jounin ninja was caught trying to steal the scroll of seals."

"Yeah, I heard. Can you believe it? Apparently he was a spy." The other gossiper replied.

Naruto resisted the urge to roll his eyes. It was obvious the said ninja was Mizuki. However if the white-haired ninja attempted to steal the scroll after he spoke to Naruto, how did these woman know? It had been less than a day. Naruto supposed that gossip really did travel fast, especially gossip that juicy.

"Alright class, now I will be assigning you to your teams. You will not be able to trade places with one another and you will meet with you leader after this meeting in the genin training grounds." Iruka-sensei said firmly, then began the team calling. "Team eight will be Aburame Shino, Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba under Yuuhi Kurenai. Team seven will be Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke," Sakura let out a gleeful squeak. "And Uzumaki Naruto under Hatake Kakashi."

"WHAT!" Screamed Sakura. "I don't want to be on a team with Naruto." The rest of the class, with the exception of Sasuke, smirked and laughed under their breath. They were all relieved that Naruto wasn't on their team, but at the same time this relief confused them. Not only did Naruto put much effort into his ninja training but he achieved the lowest passing level. Of course, Naruto did this to avoid attention but know one else knew about him motive. In truth, Naruto had done nothing to them. The short blond didn't so much as talk to anyone unless they spoke to him first, yet because of the adults hate for the boy, the children began to hate him too. It is the order of things, fear only bred more fear, hate only bred more hate.

Why is he so late? Surely ninja had to be good time keepers. So why is it taking their new sensei so long to get to them. All the other teams have go off with their teachers and now only team seven remain in the large training field.

Finally Naruto heard before he saw his jounin sensei. Hatake Kakashi was a strange ninja. His silver, white hair was held back by a headband, that was also pulled down to cover his left eye. He also wore a shirt that covered both his mouth and nose.

"Let's begin with some introductions." Kakashi started off the bat. "I want you to tell me you likes, your dislikes, dreams for the future, hobbies."

The three genin stayed silent, this made the ninja sigh in defeat. "Okay, I'll start... My name is Hatake Kakashi. I have no desire to tell you guys about my likes and dislikes. My dreams for the future?... Um. Well, I have lots of hobbies... Okay so now it is your turn."

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. There are lots of things I dislike but I don't really like anything... and I don't want to use the word 'dream' but I have an ambition. The resurrection of my clan and to kill a certain man." Sasuke said seriously, not really looking at anyone of his new team mates.

Naruto was surprised by the Uchiha's words. The whiskered boy knew about the massacre that happened at the hands of Itachi Uchiha... and Naruto assumed that it was said Uchiha that Sasuke wanted to kill.

'I thought so', Kakashi thought also knowing about the unfortunate event. "Next."

Naruto showed no signs of wanting to speak yet, so Sakura spoke. "I'm Haruno Sakura. The thing I like is..." The pink haired girl blushed crimson as she glanced at an uncaring Sasuke. "Well, the person I like is... Ummm, should I say my dream for the future... The thing I dislike is Naruto and my hobby is..."

"Okay." Kakashi dragged out the word hoping to stop Sakura's incoherent rambling. "And finally, blondy."

Naruto looked up into Kakashi's eyes, his stare penetrating and intense. So much so that it sent shivers down the older mans spine. 'So this is how he turned out', Kakashi thought.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I don't really have any likes, nor do I have any hobbies. I suppose my dream would be for finality." Naruto said cryptically making all his team mate look at him with eyes full of questions.

"What about your dislikes?" Kakashi asked.

"Humanity."

There was an almost deafening silence that surrounded the group. Questions ran through each of their minds, even Sasuke's. What did he mean? Did they hear him wrong? Why does he hate humanity?

"You dislike humanity?" Kakashi stuttered out, hoping that he had misheard the young boy.

"No." The blond said in monotone. This cause everyone to sigh in relief. "I hate humanity." Naruto said with an empathise on the word 'hate'. "Maybe it is because I have never seen it for myself. I don't really know, but what I do know is that I will not find any humanity is this village and probably not in this life time either."

This caused the first embers of shame to glow in the pits of the three ninja's. Here they were thinking about themselves and their own problems, yet they ignored the more dire problems of a small boy with no one to trust but himself.

"That's enough of that." Kakashi announced, his voice cutting through the tension that had appeared after Naruto's explanation. "We will start our duties tomorrow. First thing in the morning we will be doing survival training."

"What? Why do we still have to train? I thought we did enough in the Ninja Academy." Sakura all but shouted.

"This is your test and your opponent will be me. Out of the twenty seven graduates only nine will become genin. The rest will be sent back to the academy."

Well, what do you think? I hoped you liked it. Please review.
