Jinchūriki May Cry
A fanfiction by l33t Horo
I am l33t Horo… thank you so much for reading the previous version of this fanfiction… however I decided to revamp it from scratch… I sincerely hope you enjoy this update and continue with your wonderful patronage.
Chapter 1: When IT appeared
"Kill the demon!!"
"You bastard!! You killed him… you killed my husband!!"
"I will avenge my fallen clansmen!!"
Those where the cries of anger from the villager of the Village of Konoha as they persecuted a rather small child
The kid in question ran around the streets… his small legs carrying him as fast as they could. He then faced against a dead end. He decided to hide in a garbage bin till danger passed away.
He waited for what appeared to be hours, the villagers decided to stop the chase… for now.
Naruto then walked about and found himself lost in a strange fog that appeared out of no-were, he then encountered a building he never seen before… it was a huge tower that ascended into the skies themselves.
Naruto walked into it… the inside appeared to be Gothic Noir, he looked around and saw the stain glass windows, and an altar (not that he knew what he was watching, but the items where unusual so it peeked his curiosity)
There was a table with a old body in it… the body was perfectly conserved however and Naruto took a closer look… something inside him stirred, Naruto was not scared, but he felt scared as he approached
The body looked to be from someone in high-class society, his clothing ,thought out of place for Konoha, looked to fit someone of great importance or rank in the civil area (meaning not ninja-related)
He saw the body as a old person with white hair slicked back… in his eye he had a monocle and a 2 swords on his side, one of the swords looked deadly and curiosity got the best of him… a translucent figure stopped him
"EEP!" Naruto yelped as he cowered in fear, however the person who stopped him looked… no rather was the same person as the one on the altar.
The person looked at his own body and smiled as he sat in the altar
"Who might you be and how did you get here, this place is supposed to be invisible to humans… moreover, it should be nigh impossible to be able to enter here without the knowledge of this place… so tell me, who are you?" the person said
Naruto put his arms defensively to protect himself… the translucent person frowned, the boy was scared of him, not because he was translucent, but rather because he had a fear of people… he then noticd the bruise and cuts over Naruto's body
"Don't worry… I am not here to hurt you, as a matter of fact, I have 2 sons as well, they should be older than you thought by a good couple of decades" He said as he made a table appear
"Tea?" he asked
"Uhu, thank you ojii-san" Naruto said as he sat on the chair
The translucent person poured some tea for Naruto and sat down and listened to his story
The person's face was contorted in rage… he could never heard someone who had such a miserable life
"It seems some humans behave worst than demons nowadays, they forgotten the sacrifices people have done in order to maintain the peace they now enjoy" the person said
"Ano… you never told me your name" Naruto said
"My name is Sparda The Dark Knight, little one, what is yours?" Sparda said
"Wow, My name is Naruto… but what is a Dark Knight?" Naruto asked
"A dark knight is a knight that has been conferred the powers of darkness, though you might think darkness is evil… is not, good and right are only ideas made after the fashion, good or evil… it all depends on the person wielding the power, it does not matter what you are, what matters is what you do with it, understand?" Sparda said
"But… what do I do? I can't leave this place… they will chase me all over again…" Naruto said with sobs
Sparda shook his head, he never actually dealt with his sons… and now this kid was giving him "the eyes"… you know, when a kid wants something and he gives that look? The look of a puppy who you just kicked but is still yearning for affection? Yes "THAT" look.
"Okay… you can stay here…" Sparda said, giving up after looking at the little blond
However as Naruto smiled a few of his wounds opened up and he fell into the floor in a small puddle of his own blood
"Naruto!!" Sparda said as he tried to help…
Naruto's color was being drained rapidly as he lost a lot of blood… Sparda decided to do the only "Logical" thing he could think of
He lifted his sword and made a cut on his original body … he placed Naruto under the cut and allowed the blood to flow into him
"My demonic blood should be able to safe this child from his fate… however if his will is weaker than my demon blood… well… I would not like to think what would happen" Sparda thought
Naruto's body then begun to glow in an super-natural orange hue
Then it turned into a feral red
"Who dares disturb my slumber…. I who is the great demon lord KYUUBI!!" said the condensed youki apparition
"Ah… Lord Kyuubi… it has been a long time since we seen each other… how long has it been… a millennia? Two perhaps? Whatever are you doing inside a young boy?" Sparda asked
"Who are you to talk to me in such a familiar manner, you cur!" Kyuubi said in anger
Sparda then glowed in an ethereal light and changed into a demonic form. His demonic form was of a human sized demon, with cloven hooves, a semi-reptilian hide, a pair of sweeping horns, two pairs of insectoid wings and one pair of chiropteran/bat wings,his body was covered in a grey armor with accents and overtones of tyrian purple, and features ornamental decorations, such as gold trim along his "crown," a vertical red gem in his forehead, as well as gold knee and elbow guards…
"Impossible… but you… you died… I know it to be true… I was there… as a young kit… I saw how you closed the gates… how you gave your life for the humans we once hated and hunted" Kyuubi said
"So… you are a lord now… my how times change" Sparda said in a demonic voice
"Tell this humble servant what is thy biding my Lord" Kyuubi said
"Relax… I am not a lord… I want to know… how did you become like this?" Sparda asked
Kyuubi then explained his plight… how he was manipulated and put into a trace by Madara… how the fourth Hokage sealed him in Naruto, and the Hokage's connection to him
"I see… the village really deserved your attack if what you say is true. They imprisoned the Uchihas… they exhiled Madara, then ordered an Uchiha to kill his family…. Then came revenge… and so on… this cycle must stop" Sparda said as he transformed back to his human self
"You worry about him… don't you my lord?" Kyuubi asked
"As I should be… it all ties up… after all… they see him as your reincarnation… but that is foolish talk, once a demon is killed his sould goes back to hell… or the soul becomes a demon arm for the person who defeat it…. However that is only the case if the person fighting the demon was a half-demon… or a demon… or in my case… a devil" Sparda said
"Yes… but I was not defeated… I was sealed into the body of this child" Kyuubi said
"So… do you influence something on him?" Sparda asked
"No my Lord… other than having a higher regenerative power and higher stamina and what humans call chakra the rest is all him… just human" Kyuubi said
"My blood should have taken effect by now" Sparda said as he saw Naruto breath a bit better
"Wait… your blood?! Are you nuts!! Do you have any idea what you done!?" Kyuubi yelled
"Not really… I don't know what will happen… all I did was save him" Sparda said
"When a human drinks the blood of a devil… they become one themselves… well…not wholly but partially… like your sons, so now… Naruto is a descendant of Sparda as well" Kyuubi said solemny
"Please take care of him, my old friend" Sparda said
He then took Yamato and Force Edge and place them over Naruto. The swords then disappeared into him.
"Train him well… we will not see each other again anymore… but if fate is kind, perhaps he might be able to meet with them… my descendants" Sparda said as the building disappeared into myst.
Naruto laid on the streets being woken up by the falling rain of Konoha
"Sparda… thank you" Naruto said as he closed his eyes, however he saw a blurry image of the Saidame rushing towards him and ordering his ANBU to capture and execute the villager who did this
"Naruto!!! Hold on!" the Saidame said as Naruto passed out.
Several Days later
"Lord Hokage… I am not sure how to tell you this… but it appears that Naruto's arm has changed, it might be due to an infection or a side-effect of a technique someone has used on him… however it does not endanger him" the medic ninjas said
"I see… good job, please make sure he is comfortable and release him once he recovers completely" Saidame said as he left the hospital wing
However… many of the doctors ignored his orders, since they hated Naruto for being the container of their dread and pain, he was kicked out of the hospital promptly.
Naruto looked at his arm… it looked really scary so he decided to hide it with bandages… an eery glow came from it… it had orange veins and a black contrast his fingers where azure and glowing
"What happened to me?" Naruto said to himself
"Power… more power" A voice inside Naruto's head said
Naruto turned around and found no one around, he decided to walk home and take a deep rest
Naruto's mind realm
"Hey… who are you?" a man with white hair and a red trench coat asked
"Who am I? who the hell are you?" Naruto said in retort
"Name's Dante, kid… the question is… how did you get into my dream realm?" Dante asked
"I don't know… I just fell asleep… and wanted to contact Sparda Ojii-san once more" Naruto said
"Sparda? You meet Sparda? Ridiculous… he has been gone and dead for Millennia, I haven't seen the old man as well" Dante said
He then noticed something…
"You are not kidding… you carry his scent… hell, will I be… it appears I got myself a little brother, seems dad's been getting busy" Dante said with a smirk
"Actually… I am an orphan… I don't know my parent's" Naruto said looking a bit downcast
Dante flinched with guilt… however he could not let his go… he meet his father… and somehow, he carried a power like him…
"Tell you what kid… sometime soon… I will come over where you live… and we can talk in reality so we can learn about each other… on the meantime stay well" Dante said as Naruto woke up
Back in reality
Naruto opened his eyes… in his chest he found 2 swords… the swords of that man Sparda had on his side
A note fell from the roof… he read it to himself
"As you found yourself awake, first I must congratulate you, you managed to come back alive, the other will be to give you a somewhat disturbing news… since you where dying I had to force you to drink my pure devil-blood, effectively making you into a hybrid devil… you now posses my powers as well as my weapons that I left for you to protect yourself and others… remember the talk we had… what you do with this power… will be up to you, farewell Naruto…" on the bottom the name Sparda was signed beautifully
"Sparda ojii-san" Naruto said as he grabbed the two swords
Naruto went into a clearing as he practiced with the swords… he unsheathed Yamato and images flooded trough his mind
"What was that?!" Naruto said as he sheathed Yamato to stop the images…
He pulled Yamato out once more and more images flooded into his mind… he saw Sparda and someone who looked like him do the same move from different angles
Naruto tried to emulate them as he pushed forward… however he could not make the attacks like the ones he had seen… however the images continued as he practiced the moves over and over again…
Night fell and Naruto was still on the training grounds… sweat came from him as though he was in a desert… his arms and legs twitched from tiredness, his breathing became more worked, he had been training with Yamato for 13 hours straight
"I… I think I should head back home now" Naruto said as he carried his swords on his back
He passed out once he reached home… he had a strange dream that night
A person wearing a long blue coat with an insignia sewn into both shoulders, wearing a red zip-up hoodie/vest underneath this coat, and what appears to be a navy cotton t-shirt beneath that. He has white hair and blue eyes, similar to Dante.
He saw the man battle monsters 10 times his own size and use his hand… that strangely looked similar if not the same, as his.
The person was cocky, and bad mannered, just like him… however he was older and stronger than him
Naruto then watched with fascination as he learned the secrets of the arm he now has, apparently he can now grasp things from far away, and alter and distort space/time as well… also it has the ability to absorb demonic powers as well
When he woke up it was time to go to his final class…
He entered into the building, he wasn't smiling… he was looking like in a daze, he sat down and listened to Iruka's teaching for once
He listened and stood quiet, paying real good attention, after classes he was called to make the bunshin portion of the test, however he bombed it… he decided to too dwell on it, however someone approached to him.
"Hey Naruto… there is something I need to tell you" said the second teacher Mizuki
After explaining to Naruto about the "secret test" and how to pass it Naruto accept it and made his way through the Hokage tower
"Naruto? Is that you? What are you doing here?" The Saidame asked
"Oriouke no Jutstu!" Naruto said transforming into a voluptuous blonde, effectively knocking the old man out of commission due to blood loss
He managed to steal a sacred scroll and went into a clearing to practice the scrolls
"However… why hasn't this opportunity presented to me before? I smell something weird going on" Naruto thought as he immersed himself into the learning of a particular jutsu in there
"Kage… bunshin? Sounds interesting" Naruto said as he applied himself wholly to that technique
Hours passed
"There you are… I found you" Iruka said while smiling
"So you did… then again I wasn't hiding" Naruto said with a monotone voice, he was kinda tired after all
"Why are you here? And stole that forbidden scrool?" Iruka asked
"Mizuki-sensei told me that if I learned a technique from it I could graduate" Naruto said
Iruka tensed
"I see… I suspected as much, come on out… Mizuki" Naruto said as he looked past the trees towards Mizuki, who had hiding in the shadows
"ehehehehe… so the demon brat saw trough it… I guess treachery runs in his blood after all… a fox is a fox, no matter what he disguises himself as" Mizuki said
"it doesn't matter… I will show you what I do with traitors like you, be glad… you will be the first to test my new ability… die… Judgment Cut" Naruto said as he unsheathed and sheathed his sword in one fast motion
Mizuki laughed… "Hahaha…. Pathetic… to think the village feared you… DIE!!!" Mizuki said
However Naruto turned his back to him and finished sheathing his sword… Mizuki was skewered by a rain of slashes coming out of nowhere
"People fear the unkown… fear is only natural… however, have they even tried to learn the difference between me and the kyuubi? I am his jailor… not the prisoner, now meet the rest of them in hell" Naruto said as he walked away…
"Naruto… please wait!" Iruka called out
Naruto stopped and turned to face Iruka
"Thank you for stopping him… God know what he would have done with the scroll…so, Naruto… Close your eyes" Iruka asked him
Naruto felt something a bit heavy n his forehead
"Congratulations… graduate" Iruka said
Naruto smiled as he let a few tears of joy fall into the ground
"Thank you… Iruka sensei" Naruto said
"Let' s head back… we need to talk to the Hokage so you can get paid for this… you just completed you first A rank mission" Iruka said
After hesitating, Iruka asked one more thing
"That kenjutsu… did it come from the scroll?" Iruka asked
"No… I learned it on my own, the only technique I learned from the scroll was the kage bunshin" Naruto said
"I see, so…Naruto, where did you get those swords?" Iruka asked
"A nice man gave me this, along with a renewed spirit… He saved me one night… I was about to die… he gave me his blood so I could survive, and now… he also gave me these" Naruto said signaling his 2 swords
"Did you name them?" Iruka said
"No… they came with their names already, this one (pulling the o-katana) is yamato, and this one has 2 names (signaling the sword), his sealed form is called Force Edge, his unsealed form is called The Sparda" Naruto said
"Well… that kenjutsu is beyond what I ever seen… so keep practicing at it" Iruka said
"I was planning on doing that, Iruka-sensei" Naruto said with a smile
"Come… I'll buy you some ramen" Iruka said
And that is how that night Naruto gained the trust of Iruka and started down a path towards his ninja career, towards the path of the Hokage… Till date Naruto is still unsure he would meet Dante sometime soon
Somewhere else
"Hey Lady… why are you here… I thought I settled my debts with you" Dante said with a smirk
"Knock it off Dante, we got work to do, we just been hired… some place called Konoha, there is a demon of great power capable of destroying mountains and such" Lady said
"Great… I was getting bored lately… maybe I could even get a few mementos as well" Dante said
"The person who hired us is called…Danzo" Lady said
"And the reward?" Dante said
"He is using gold to pay us" Lady said
"Interesting… very well… I was running out of money for pizzas and tomato juice anyways… Lets head out" Dante said
"Do you even know how to get there? Or where there even is?" Lady asked
"I was hoping you could tell me that on the way there" Dante said
"I will be the one taking you there" said a person appearing from behind Lady
The person whore an animal mask and had a usual outfit… however as he was sent by the person requesting his assistance he decided to not be a wise-ass…. Well… at least till he got paid.
"Please follow me" said the person on a mask
"This is like Arkham all over again" Dante said laughing
"Step into this summoning circle to make a reverse summoning" the person with the white mask said
A bright circle encompassed them and then they found themselves in a blinding light, a moments later the scenery had changed… they have arrived in what looked like a forest.
"Where are we?" Dante said as he looked around
"We are in Konohagure no Sato… the village hidden in the leaves… where a powerful demon has taken refuge… the demon is masquerading as a kid… so do not be fooled" the person said as he vanished in a swirl of leaves
"Interesting exit… but how do we find the kid in question?" Dante thought out loud
As if it were a divine answer, a small manila envelope dropped from a tree, the picture and stats of the "demon" were shown to him
"Come on Lady… business is calling"
End Chapter 1
