All right, this is a request Fic from Killjoy3000. It's an awesome idea, I just hope that I can make that idea as awesome as he described.
Summary...

"Hey there, My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and My family...is Sin."
"My father is Greed, My mother, Lust, and My Grandfather is Wrath. My Two uncles Sloth and Gluttony and my cousin Envy and my brother Pride...An interesting bunch if I do say so myself". (Note: The beginning and end of this chapter is the only time I will use this point of view.)
Seven years after the Kyuubi attack...
"Help...Please...Someone help me".
A cool night on October Tenth. Completely dark in the still fall night, a gentle breeze rustling the trees. A full moon hung in the sky, illuminating the village in an ethereal glow. A trail of blood drops glowed in the light as well.
"Someone...Help".
A small boy ran through the streets as quickly as his little legs could carry him, blood pouring from under his hand that tried to cover the two large gashes on his right arm. He stumbled but regained himself, breathing heavily, his breath visible in the cool night air. He looked around frantically for a way to escape the black clad, white masked people who were chasing him.
Naruto Uzumaki, today was his birthday. Not only that but it was the day that the Kyuubi no Kitsune was defeated. It had started out pretty well compared to the last three years. He had gotten a few free bowls of Ramen from the Ichiraku's, the father daughter duo that actually treated him like a human being.
He was greeted by Karasu, Inu and Neko, three Anbu who were part of his guard detail that the Sandaime Hokage assigned to protect him, they wished him a happy birthday and went off on their business after that.
Everything took a downward spiral from there.
Just when he thought that he was in the clear this year, that the civilians had finally decided to lay off. Two black clad individuals kicked his door in, immediately sending him flying in to the wall with kick to his chest. One of them tosses him through the window, he tried to get up and run but was tossed in to the air and was sent crashing in to the ground twenty feet below after something hard impacted with his back. As he tried to crawl away, two kunai cut long gashes in his arm as they came down, then the adrenaline kicked in.
Naruto ran. He ran and ran and ran as fast as his legs could carry him away from his attackers, using every back alley and secret tunnel he knew about, but every time he thought he was safe, they appeared, attacking him with shuriken and kunai, he managed to escape their attacks with a few shallow wounds that healed in no time.
He called out for help, he did. He called out for help until his voice was hoarse. His adrenaline was beginning to fade and he was feeling the affects of blood loss, his vision was fading. He felt a stinging pain in his back.
"Someone..He-Ahhhhh!", Naruto stumbled around the corner in to an alleyway. His foot came down on a weak spot and he suddenly fell through a hole in the ground. He fell fast down a darkened tunnel, he hit the ground the hard and rolled.
"Ugh...Ah, That...Hurt", Naruto groaned. He slowly got up and looked around. It was a dimly lit room, dusty, cobweb covered tables. He could see a scroll in the light on a table a few feet ahead of him. He walked towards it out of curiosity just as he reached it, his legs gave out and his world started to fade. His hand caught the scroll, his chin resting on the table, he finally slipped in the realm of unconsciousness, slipping and hitting the floor with a thud, the scroll rolling out of his hand and across the ground, the kanji for 'Sin' becoming visible in the light and glowing red under Naruto's bloody fingerprint.
Unknown Location...
"...How?...How could someone be so cruel to a child?", a woman's voice said through the darkness.
"So much Pain...And he is still forgiving", said a bored, gruff voice. A spectral portal replayed frame after frame of Naruto's life, seven figures were outlined by the light that came from it.
"Those Bastards! Even i think that's going way to fucking far!", a short figure with long hair said, it's fists balling in anger. The fat figure to it's right whimpered in sadness and the tall figure to it's left was silent with it's arms crossed, though a low growl could be heard and it's sharp teeth were glinting in the light.
"He still believes that he can be great", said a short figure, that sounded somewhat like a child.
The only woman like figure in the group of seven looked to the one who had been completely silent, "What do we do?".
"...He is the one we have been waiting for, a soul which could be bathed in sin and come out pure, we must help him, as is our purpose", said the man in a wise tone.
With Naruto...
The Scroll unrolled itself, revealing seven Kanji spread evenly along the yellowed parchment.
Greed, Sloth, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Pride and Wrath. Each of the kanji started to glow a bright red and a puff of smoke followed. Seven people emerged from the smoke, six males and a single female.
The woman, flawless alabaster skin, not a imperfection in sight, with a body Kunoichi would die for, long black hair and a strange tattoo on her collarbone, right above her ample breasts, walked over to the downed blond while the others looked on.
"What now?", asked a man with short spiky hair and a fur collared vest with dark pants and boots. He looked to an a man in his fifties with with short cropped hair and an eye-patch over his left eye in a blue military style uniform. He, along with the others looked at the child in woman's arms.
He raised his hand towards the eye-patch.
"To give him the power he needs...", he removed the eye-patch and opened his eye to reveal that he had no pupil but the same symbol tattooed on the woman's collarbone. The man grunted and removed his left glove, revealing the same marking. A short, rounded man with a bald head stuck out his tongue, the same marking. A very large, very muscular man in black pants and combat boots and a young man in a form fitting bodysuit, both sharing the same hair style, turned to reveal the marking on his right shoulder blade and raised his left pants leg to reveal the tattoo on his thigh respectively. The small child closed his eyes for a moment before the tattoo appeared on his forehead.
"Now...", all of them placed a hand on or over their tattoo and closed their eyes. The tattoo's started to glow red and electricity sparked around each one, thin bolts traveled through the air moving for the blond's chest before being pulled to his stomach. Naruto was immediately surrounded by a red aura and lifted in to the air, he started screaming in pain and the others winced.
"What's going on?", the man said, the lightning began to pick up and began to burn.
Naruto's Mindscape...
"UUGWAAAHHH! Ahhhhh! What's going on!", A massive red fox with nine flowing tails trashed around in the air as seven bolts of lightning held him above the ground, he was radiating heat, his roars of agony echoed through the tunnels of his sewer like home.
The Kyuubi no Kitsune, a beast of hatred who attacked Konoha seven years ago and was sealed inside young Naruto by the Yondaime Hokage, the Fourth Fire Shadow.
"My Chakra!...It...It feels like it's being ripped from my body! Ahhhggggaaahh!", Kyuubi roared in pain, "What...What is this?". It's eyes widened in wonder as he looked at the top of his cage.
The seal that was originally used to keep him there was...morphing, it's shape and color changing. It took the form of a winged dragon forming a circle by eating it's own tail, a hexagonal symbol in the middle surrounded by triangles. (A/N: The Ouroboros from the FMA: Brotherhood anime.)
"So...they have returned eh?...Fine then...I will not leave this world...Not without leaving my mark...Rrraaggghh!", Kyuubi increased the size of the aura and poured a large amount of chakra out of his body, the hate filled chakra turned in to an orb of light and he blasted it upwards in to the seal.
"Kit...You owe me one thing for this...Destroy that masked bastard...Madara...UCHIHA!", Kyuubi poured more of his energy in to it as the room was filled with bright light.
"Do not lose concentration!", the elderly man barked.
"Wrath!...What's going on!", the dark haired man growled out, now kneeling due to the pain in his hand. A red aura surrounded the blond as well as a thin aura around the bolts of lightning, which was also surrounding their tattoos, the flesh around it being burned away repeatedly before quickly reforming.
"...What a pain", the tall behemoth wincing slightly at the flesh tearing away but other than that seemed unfazed.
"Aaaagghhh!", Naruto's eyes glowed bright red, as did his stomach from underneath his shirt that was slowly being burned away by the demon chakra. A powerful pulse shot from his body, the lightning bolts ceased as everyone was pushed back, the large man catching the child and the fat man, the dark haired man catching the woman and the man known as Wrath along with the young man stood their ground. Naruto's body hit the ground with a thud.
"Greed, unless you want to be neutered, I suggest you put me down", said the woman with a smirk, her right index and middle finger lengthened and sharpened, glinting in the dim light, the man sneered and placed her on her feet. She retracted the claws and went to Naruto's side. The others stepping closer to see what had just happened. Naruto twitched for a second before his eyes snapped open.
"Good, He's Alr-!", none of them were expecting the blood curdling scream of pure agony after his awakening. Naruto's chest glowed red, blood began to pour as the center was physically torn open, the red light growing bright as the skin was torn, along with his muscle. Small arcs of lightning repaired the injuries but they quickly came back. After a moment, it all stopped, Naruto was frozen in place with his back arched in pain before going limp again and returning to the realm of unconsciousness. The Wrath, Greed, the woman and young man all went wide eyed.
In the center of Naruto's chest after the light dimmed was a red oval stone that shone slightly in the dim light. Wrath crouched down and placed his hand on the stone, he quickly retracted it a second later.
"...A Philosophers Stone", he said simply.
"No way", said the young man.
"How?", Greed said, "The stones aren't solid". Wrath was silent.
"...I am not sure...though I have my suspicions that it has something to do with the beast that was sealed inside of the boy...This stone...it is unlike our own...It is the Perfect Philosophers stone", Wrath said.
"Perfect philosophers stone?", said the woman.
"Yes...Our Philosopher stones were made from the countless lingering souls, this stone is different...Portions of our souls merged with the beast that was inside of him, a single, powerful soul...though it's sins are countless, the boys soul is pure and unaffected, Longevity, High Speed Healing and regeneration, enhanced speed, strength, stamina, endurance...and a perfect immortality". That was a surprise.
"He can't die?", the child said.
"...In theory...this immortality may be like our own, but more refined, I was only able to gain a small amount of information from the contact, we will have to find out the rest on our own...Lust, take Naruto to his home and keep him safe, this night is not over, take Envy, Pride and Sloth with you...".
"How come I can't go, I don't wanna be stuck with these guys", Envy complained, jamming a thumb over his shoulder to Sloth.
"In case I need to get rid of evidence...You'll just leave a mess", Wrath said bluntly. A dark tendril came up and wrapped around Envy's mouth, silencing his rant as he repeatedly stomped his foot in anger, his muffled yells were still pretty loud. Wrath just turned away.
"Greed, Gluttony, you two will come with me, we're going to pay this Hokage a visit...Sloth". Wrath extracted another eye-patch and put it on, then he turned his head to look at the large man who merely grunted.
"If you would...", he said with an elderly smile. Sloth nodded his head and crouched, launching up and through the ceiling of the laboratory, the others following after him. Greed looked to the sky to see lights in the distance.
"Looks like they're still celebrating...Damn Bastards", he growled.
"They're are not our primary concern Greed, Lust, we will return before the boy awakens", he said, Gluttony smiled happily and walked after him, Greed grunted and took dark circular glasses from inside his vest and put them on, walking off while jamming his hands in his pockets.
Lust looked at the now sleeping blond, who was breathing normally.
"Let's go you three", Lust said, walking off with the other three behind her.
With Wrath...
"Which one of them was it Old Man?", Greed asked as they headed towards the tower at the end of the street.
"...The Kyuubi, the burning chakra was the giveaway", Wrath said.
"Heh, bummer, I actually liked the little furball...speaking of beasts, I wonder where Chomei is, we never got to see who's armor is stronger", Greed said, looking around.
"There is a chance that Kyuubi is still alive, only his soul is merged with Naruto's, though his power is dormant inside of the Philosopher's stone in his chest", said the elderly man. He stopped and turned his head to look at dual sabers in the window, similar to the ones he used to do battle with.
"Yes, these will do nicely", Wrath said, with a swift kick, the glass window was shattered and the swords were under his belt on either side. They continued walking until they reached the doors, Greed raised his foot and kicked them open.
"Hey! You can't just barge in!", the secretary yelled. The three men just walked right past her, younger dark haired man winked at her and the fat man licked his lips looking at her, and if she wasn't mistaken, the look in his eyes was...hungry not lecherous.
The three of them ascended the winding staircase, coming to double mahogany doors marked by the Fire kanji.
"Enter", the stern voice inside said, the doors opened causing Greed to stumble as he was about to kick them open just as he did the ones in the lobby. An elderly man sat behind a desk with his hands webbed together under his chin, staring intently at the three men before him.
"Hello there, Sarutobi-san", Wrath said with an eye smile. Anbu appeared with their weapons drawn.
"That is Hokage-sama to you, and I'm going to have to ask you to relinquish you weapons", said the Sandaime Hokage. Greed smirked, thinking he would get a chance to fight and Gluttony smiled, thinking he would get a chance to eat, Wrath merely stood in place.
"...I'm afraid I can't do that...", he raised his hand, snapping his fingers. Before they could react, Two Anbu were pinned to the wall by Greed whose body was now completely encased in metal armor, three were sat on by Gluttony, bones were cracking under pressure, but the fat slob was budging anytime soon. Sarutobi was forced against the wall with a sword pressed right between his eyes and a hand around his neck.
"The village's strongest shinobi...with a title such as that...you reflexes are meager at best, but I suppose that old age is to blame for that...tell your guards to leave and we will have no trouble, You have my word", Wrath said, Sarutobi trying to pry the man's hand from his neck, but the death grip was secure.
'Who are these three?...', Sarutobi thought, sweating slightly from the KI that the three of them were emitting, 'They're not human...'.
"F-Fine...Ah! Anbu...Disperse!", Sarutobi wheezed, Wrath turned and nodded to Greed and Gluttony, the two of them releasing the Anbu, the two Greed had trapped picked up their unconscious teammates and disappeared via Shunshin no Jutsu. (Body Flicker Technique) Wrath stepped back and sheathed the sword, Greed retracting his armor.
"Excellent", said the swordsman, he and Greed taking a seat in the chairs available, while Gluttony took a seat on the ground, his index finger in his mouth.
Sarutobi rubbed his neck, taking a seat behind his desk and activating the silencing and privacy seals.
"What do you wish to discuss?", Sarutobi asked.
"...Naruto Uzumaki and his mistreatment in this Village".
"...I would like you to know...", Sarutobi paused, not knowing the elderly man's name.
"Bradley, King Bradley".
"Well, Bradley-san, I would like you to know that I do everything in my power to make sure that Naruto has a bearable life, I have seen the how others in his situation have been treated and i have also heard rumors of what others go through and in comparison, Naruto's life has been adequate in comparison", Sarutobi said.
"Sarutobi-san, the life style you call adequate is a life style that even the demons in the lowermost pits of Hell would not be subjected to, as they are offered swift deaths when given a choice in the matter...He has been beaten and abused repeatedly, killed on multiple occasions, malnourished and underfed, the Anbu guard you assigned repeatedly turned on three of their own to hold them back while Naruto was subjected lynchings, mob beatings, burnings...Please tell me, is this what you call an 'Adequate' lifestyle", Wrath said. Sarutobi was silent.
"Tell us the truth old man, You don't really care for the kid, if you did you would've taken him in to your home the very first time something like this occurred, but instead of doing that you leave him a shitty little apartment with an asshole of a landlord, that offered absolutely no protection against the people who attacked him on a weekly basis", Greed said. Sarutobi was still silent.
"...I...I had no I-", he was interrupted by Wrath.
"Sarutobi-san, if you finish that sentence, heads are going to roll", the swordsman threatened, glaring intensely at the Old Sandaime.
"The decisions you make involving young Naruto have never ended well, true the Anbu guard you assigned him does offer some protection, but the three members of the guard who actually care for the boy are almost constantly tied up with trivial matters, blocked by their own subordinates or called away on assignments just as or before something occurs and I know you have seen it", Wrath said. Naruto apparently knew a lot more than he had led others to believe as his memories held a great deal of information.
"Do not misjudge my decisions, i look after Naruto like my own grandson, but I get enough from the Civilian part of this village's council as it is, I try to help Naruto as best I can but many a time my attempts to help are overpowered by the votes of the Civilians and there is nothing more I can do", Sarutobi said. Greed snapped.
"You're the fucking leader here! Don't try to sell us this bullshit because we're not buying it! Normally, i wouldn't give a rat's ass about some kid, but this...the crap Naruto goes through in this village in a single day makes me sick, a week makes me physically ill! It's that fucking bad! You could've gotten rid of this Civilian Council any time you wanted, Ninja villages are dictatorships, not democracies!", Greed said loudly, standing up and his chair falling back with a crash and slamming his hands on the desk.
"Grow a pair you fucking pussy and man up!", Greed yelled.
"Greed", Bradley said sternly, "Please, take your seat, you have said your peace". Greed huffed and turned and got back in his chair.
"As much as I disagree with his way of speaking, my associate is right, Sarutobi-san, Even in your old age, you still hold authority and power, yet also in your old age, you have grown to lenient in your punishments for breaking laws. Now tell me Sarutobi-san, Do you hold disdain for what young Naruto holds within him, or do you not?", Wrath asked.
"...It was because of that beast inside of him that my wife, Biwako, is dead, it is the reason countless lives were lost and the reason that two great shinobi died protecting their son...I would be lying if I said that I did not hold some disdain, but I do not let affect my decisions", Sarutobi said.
"No...You just let the disdain from others and their hypocritical views drive them...From this day onward, Sarutobi-san, I and my six associates will be acting as Naruto's legal guardians, and any problem that arises with civilians of this village will be dealt with swiftly by us, if you wish to do something about this, I will warn you now that we do not go down easily...You have been warned", Wrath said as he, Greed and Gluttony got to their feet.
"Good day, Hiruzen Sarutobi, I hope that our next meeting will be under more...pleasant circumstances, Greed, Gluttony, let's go...", Wrath walked towards the door but stopped, he turned his head towards the scroll filled bookshelf.
"Hmmm...", he cuffed his chin in thought as he read the labels, "These will suffice", He took three scrolls, "Call it payment for Naruto's suffering, and the debt is nowhere near paid in full". With that, the three of them took their leave.
Outside...
"Man, I really hate humans", Greed said, "The people of this village make me sick". Gluttony nodded his head in agreement, which was odd as the fat man had never shown any form of hatred for humans.
"I agree Greed, but not all of them are bad, we've seen those who treat Naruto with kindness, unfortunately they can be counted with hands, and though unfortunate, they can be thanked for keeping Naruto sane", Wrath said.
"What are we going to do now?", Gluttony asked.
"We're going to raise Naruto as I said, help him control his powers whatever they may be and give him a proper life", Wrath said.
"Heh, Whatever you say, Gramps", Greed said with a smirk.
"Well, I think that you and Lust will make a rather interesting couple".
"Yeah...Wait, what?", Greed deadpanned.
"You and Lust will be the father and mother, surely you knew that", Wrath said. Greed was caught between ranting and jumping for joy. On one hand he got to have the hottest piece of ass ever to walk the face of the earth and on the other, she was the only one who could cut through his Ultimate Shield and had threatened to neuter him on multiple occasions if he ever got close to her.
"...Dammit".
"Rrraagghhhh! What the heal is going on, How am I free...No!, Kushina!", It questioned. Looking around it saw a vast expansion of trees and lights in the distance.
"Kyuubi...", A voice reached the fox kings ears, he looked around for the source, coming upon a human standing a stop a cliff in front of him, "Meet your new master".
"What are you on about hu-Ah!", Kyuubi grunted, looking in to the human's eyes only to see red, his sclera became bloodshot and his eyes turned red with black tomoe. A low growl emitted from his throat and he started foaming at the mouth as his chakra was beginning to heat up.
"Kurama!", a woman's voice yelled.
"You bastard!", a man yelled, the masked man chuckled before turned around and clashing with two individuals. The massive fox bounded towards the village, the masked man following after it.
"Catch me if you can, Minato!".
"Aaah!", Naruto woke with a start. His breathes coming in quick, waking up from the strange dream. He didn't notice the slim arms wrapped around his torso nor the six other figures looking at him.
"It...It was all a dream", Naruto sighed, he sat back, he blinked a couple times as his head rested between two soft objects, a giggle from behind him and a grumble from the shadows put him on high alert.
"Good, I was wondering when you would finally awaken", said a voice, Naruto looked around, his vision began to clear and he saw six people sitting around his apartment, a couple of them making him wonder how long the floor would hold under their weight, and he knew there was a seventh, a woman, right behind him.
Naruto's fight or flight response kicked at that instance and he tore away from the arms holding him and ran for the door, hoping to escape but he was picked up by the back of his shirt and turned to face a spiky haired man.
"Chill out kid, we're not gonna hurt ya", Greed said. Naruto swung his leg and kicked the man in the chin, Greed dropped him after an audible crack rang out, he held in his chin as Naruto backed away.
"Damn...enhanced strength...check", Greed said as lightning sparked around the injury and it was healed, Naruto looking around frantically.
"Do you know how many times I've heard that? What are you all doing here?", Naruto said loudly, just waiting for Inu, Neko and Karasu to show up and help him.
"Too many times to count and betrayed every time, with a life such as yours Naruto, I am not surprised that you find it hard to trust those around you...", an elderly man in a blue military style uniform stood up, taking the sword from his belt and setting them aside and walking up to the blond and crouching to his level, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"But believe when I say that we have no intention to hurt you, the opposite in fact, we wish to help you", he said with a kind smile. Naruto was still wary.
"Naruto...", a young, beautiful woman walked up to him as the old man stepped back, placing a hand on his whiskered cheek, "What do you say to the eight of us being one big family?", she said. Naruto's eyes widened in wonder, he looked around at the other six.
"R-Really?".
"Yes, I promise you that we will look after you, Naruto", Lust said. The others either nodded or gave grunts of agreement.
"C-Could I call you...Kaa-san?", Naruto asked, Lust was surprised at first, but then smiled kindly.
"Yes, I would like that very much if you did". A genuine smile spread across the young blonds face and tears brimmed in his eyes, he threw himself at the woman and embraced her, crying in to her chest. Lust gently wrapped her arms around the whiskered blond and within a few minutes, the kid was asleep again.
"Hmm, We will tell him more tomorrow, for now, get some rest everyone". Envy just fell back, but due to his weight, fell through the weak floor in to the room below, Sloth and Gluttony took a seat on the ground, Greed sitting on the couch with Lust to his left and Pride to his right. Wrath sat in an old reclining chair.
"These next few years are going to be interesting for all of us...I cannot shake the feeling that something is out there...something...evil". Wrath sat in the chair he turned his head to look out of the window at the full moon in the sky.
"Welcome to the family, Naruto...The Sinless".
"My Father, Greed, The Avaricious."
"My Mother, Lust, The Lascivious."
"My Grandfather, Wrath, The Furious."
"My Uncles, Sloth, The Indolent and Gluttony, The Voracious."
"My Cousin, Envy, The Jealous".
"And My Brother, Pride, The Arrogant."
"And I am Naruto Uzumaki, My Alias, Virtue, The Sinless, wielder of the Ultimate Ouroboros and the Perfect Philosopher's Stone, told you we were an interesting bunch."
All right, I felt this was an Ok Chapter. Read and Review, I will do my very best to get chapters out, ideas are not flowing yet, but they will be soon. I may or may not have a poll for the pairings, but my limit is two, sorry, but I wanted to stray away from the bigger Harem stories I've done.
I'm using the 2009 Homunculus, where King Bradley is Wrath and his son is Pride. Some may not agree with how the Homunculus acted, but they're not heartless, and Lust is the only woman, she has to have some sort of motherly side right?
I can also change Naruto's alias if you guys don't like it, I just thought I fit since he's got a pure heart thing going on.
As for the Perfect Philosopher's Stone, they will talk more about that subject next chapter. I'm just hoping it will make since on the creation.
I'm still planning to give Naruto his own Homunculus power, something Fire oriented. Either Kimblee's Explosive Alchemy or Mustang's Fire Alchemy, or something original, but don't hold your breath on that one.
Uhmmm, I think I covered everything that I wanted to talk about, if there are any questions I will gladly answer them.
I'm Out!
