A small boy huddled behind the ramen stand in fear. The owners were gone, away for a weeks vacation in the land of springs, and so the boy decided to hole up there to escape the harsh konoha winter. The boy was hated and feared by the residents of the village he called home, and it was not an uncommon sight to see the boy hiding from drunken villagers or on the run from the occasional inebriated shinobi who tried to kill him. Luckily for him , no one over genin rank ever tried.
He berated himself for landing in his current predicament . he had snuck out from the stand to steal some food and had gotten caught by a member of the Uchiha Police force. The man in question had decided it would be good sport to play hunt the demon, and gave the boy a twenty minute head start before pursuing him. He now approached the boy eagerly, a kunai spinning in his palm.
Suddenly the man gurgled and fell forward, blood spilling from his mouth. The boy looked up in awe at the black clad figure removing a sword from the dead man's throat.
" Who are you ?" he asked , eyes wide in adulation.
" My name is unimportant, but I speak on behalf of Ra's Al Ghul. A man greatly feared by the shinobi world. A man who can offer you a purpose." The boy assessed the man with far greater skill than one would expect from a boy his age, before quietly taking the man's hand. From that point on, the destiny of the shinobi world was forever changed,
-8 years later-
A young blond teenager around fifteen years of age, knelt before the throne room of a secret cavern. He was decked in a black shinobi jumpsuit and light black armor., on his hands were two gauntlets riddled with spikes and on his back was a sword.
"you have learned much, in your time here, Naruto Uzumaki. You are ready to lead these men" silently a large group of similarly clad people filled the room.
" where am I leading them?"
" to konoha, it has become a breeding ground for suffering and injustice. Its corruption so widespread that we have infiltrated every aspect of its system. It is a cancer and must be allowed to die. "
The teenager nodded "Mission Accepted."
A.N. this is a trailer for an idea I had. It features Naruto as a Member and eventual leader of the League of Shadows. The League will be performing the job it has for centuries,. . It is not a crossover as only the league itself will be used, and there will be no one playing the role of batman.
Unfortunately I'm too busy to start on my own version of this, as I have other fanfiction to finish, so I leave this as a challenge to anyone who wants to write it. Just PM me if you are interested and I'll be happy to help and supply some of the ideas I have, if it is needed.
For those who read it, the new chapter for Legend of Naruto Uzumaki will be up sometime tomorrow.
Til next time, Millennion.
