Hokage Monument, Ruins of Konoha
A lone man stands in the twilight of dusk atop the head of the long dead Fourth Hokage. He is tall now despite his early years, standing over six feet. His normally bright blonde hair is sticky and stained with blood. Tattered Hokage Robes billow in the wind as his cerulean blue eyes leak tears of regret down his 'whiskered' cheeks at the sight of his decimated homeland.
"I have failed", the man seemingly mumbles to no one as he begins to turn away from his flaming and decimated city. The fighting had stopped hours ago but the fires still rage, and cries of the wounded and dying ring out in the dark. He knows it is no one he knows, as the last of his old friends had fallen to defeat one half of the threat to their city. The man regrets it now, knowing that he might have saved him had he not been fighting a much more pressing battle.
"Hey, don't be so down, you got me to stop decimating everything didn't you?" chuckles a gruff demonic voice inside his head. "Glad he did too, broke me from those Akatsuki bastards control."
"Shut up, King," comes an equally demonic yet obviously female voice, also resonating from inside the blonde man's mind. "Nearly everything he has ever cared about is dead or on fire." The female announces in a scolding tone.
The demon called King suddenly chimes in, "Really, brat, you still have me and you darling Kyuu-chan. Heh…"
"Shut up, King, I'm really not in the mood," The man suddenly lashes out, "I thought the King of Hell would be a stuck up bastard like those Hyuuga and not bother me. Man was I wrong."
"Jeez, I was just joking around, you didn't need to get all pissed about it. I'm not really that bad a guy once you get to know me. Which by the look of things in here, you probably will." The King promptly stated with a chuckle.
"Just ignore him Naruto-kun, its better if it's just you and me any way." Kyuubi said seductively.
The blonde tiredly shook his head to himself and turned to face the two mutilated corpses that lay on the rock behind him.
One was his long time friend and rival, Uchiha Sasuke, who arrived to fight Orochimaru, while Naruto used his special adaptation of his father's Shiki Fujin to seal the King within himself. During that time Sasuke and Orochimaru fought to a draw but Sasuke managed to kill himself and Orochimaru with his suicide Kinjutsu: Gates of Oblivion.
Naruto shuddered to himself as he saw the demonic arches tear the flesh from his friend's and Orochimaru's bones. Now all that was really left was a steaming pile of flesh where they stood.
He slowly walked over to the corpse of Orochimaru to examine it before he left this wretched battlefield for good.
As he tried to ignore the heated argument between his two tenants, as he looked down the pile of flesh. "So it is finally done…" he thought to himself.
As he turned to leave, the voice of his love rang out louder than before, "NARUTO-KUN, LOOK OUT!"
Naruto spun around only to get impaled through the stomach with Orochimaru's butchering tool, the Kusanagi.
He could only stare at the blade in shock as it leaked purple chakra into his body from where it sat lodged in his stomach, right through the seals keeping his tenants contained.
Kyuubi scream in horror as the King could only look on in shock.
As Naruto fell to his knees there was a blinding flash as his seals shattered, releasing the two most powerful beings on Hell or Earth back into the world.
The two stood there in their human forms looking around in shock. Kyuubi stood at about five foot eight, in a blood red Kimono that had a golden 9 tailed fox running down the back and side. Her red eyes with slit pupils widened as her gaze fell upon the fallen Hokage. Her fox ears and 9 tails twitched with fear as she ran to her love's side, the crimson fur standing of both standing on end.
The King of Hell on the other hand, just stood there taking in his surroundings. He stood loosely in his all black pants, boots, shirt, trench coat combo that blew slightly in the wind along with the unbound silver hair that reached his lower back, His black sheathed sword with a dragon entwined hilt hung from his belt. He noticed, to his surprise, that he, like Kyuubi, had fox ears, tails, and slit eyes. All of which were the color of his hair.
He was shocked in general because, although the form was the same, the fox parts of him were not. He concluded that his soul must have been changed in the binding to between himself, Kyuubi, and Naruto.
He tested his thirteen tails as he slowly made his way over to the fox queen and her love.
He could tell as soon as he laid eyes on the wound that without the Kyuubi's healing chakra the boy would most certainly die.
"No, no, no, no, no, Naruto-kun, don't die on me" Kyuubi said in a now completely human voice.
"S-sorry….Kyuu-chan…I don't… t-think… that I can… keep… that promise." Naruto managed to choke out through his obvious pain.
Kyuubi stared in horror as his eyes suddenly went dark and the breath left his body, and she wailed in loss and began to sob upon his cold chest.
The King looked down upon the boy with sadness and regret in his eyes. After only a few hours in this boy he had already lost most of his rage and bloodlust. Now there was only rational thought that had been buried beneath the madness.
His eyes suddenly widened in realization as he grabbed Kyuubi by the shoulder and pulled her up to face him.
"There may still be something we can do. But we need to hurry." The King said with an excited but rushed tone.
"W-what… sob… are you talking about King… sob" The fox queen asked between sniffles.
"His body is beyond saving but his soul is probably still supported by its bond with us. We can use this to recover and preserve it." The King stated as he pulled a yellow crystal about the size of his palm out of one of the hidden pockets inside his coat.
The foxes eyes widened at the sight of the stone "King, where did you get one of those?! Soul Stones are next to impossible to get even for being such as us."
"Firstly, don't call me King any more. I don't think I should go by that title till I win it back from that idiot you call a lover." said the former King with a slightly annoyed tone.
Kyuubi looked at him curiously before asking, "Well, what should I call you then?"
"My original name was Ryu, so you may call me that, but now we need to get to work."
"Of coarse Ryu-kun, we need to hurry." She said with a snicker.
Ryu got a vein bulge as he turned on the snickering Kyuubi. "CALL ME –KUN AGAIN OR ANY OTHER SUFFIX I'LL RIP OFF YOU TAILS AND BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH THEM" he said, reverting to his demon voice.
She sweat dropped before having an epiphany "Wait Ryu, what are we going to do with Naruto-kun's soul once we put it into the Soul Stone?"
"That's easy; we go back in time and fuse it with his younger body."
"But…only demons have strong enough souls to survive time travel. Without me sealed inside him he won't stand a chance."
"Well, if his humanity is the only thing that is stopping us then that can also be easily remedied," answered Ryu with a chuckle.
"But… you don't intend of turning him into a full demon?! You can't do something that drastic to him!" yelled Kyuubi in shock.
Ryu scowled at this but answered anyway. "The way I see it there are three options: 1) You let nature take its course and he dies. 2) You can put him in the stone and carry him around as a lucky charm or something for the rest of eternity. Or 3) We can turn him into a demon then go and get him a body, and you two can spend the rest of eternity doing what ever you damn well please. I'm sure he loves you enough to respect your decision."
"Fine," she stated coldly but with a bit or resolve as she held out her hand for the stone.
Ryu nodded before cutting his arm with his claw and letting the blood drip onto the stone. As soon as the blood touched the lightly glowing soul stone silver veins laced through the inside and outside of the stone.
Then he handed it to Kyuubi and she repeated the process. But only this time the veins in the stone were red as blood as they intertwined with the silver ones.
"Alright, you need to do it within 30 seconds of me activating the time seals. I have only used them once and I can't hold them for very long.
She nodded to him with a determined look and placed the newly red, silver, and yellow stone onto Naruto unmoving chest and looked up at Ryu. He nodded and then began flashing through demonic hand seals before slamming his hands into the ground. A great ring seal of light suddenly expanded from his position to encompass the three bodies.
Kyuubi then began to do demonic hand signs. She ended with 'Fate' and pressed her hands lightly to the stone and Naruto's chest, before shouting "DEMON ARTS: DEMONIC TRANSFORMATION SOUL ASSIMILATION NO JUTSU!!!!"
With a blinding flash the nearly dead blonde vanished from existence, leaving a bright yellow crystal in his place. Kyuubi picked it and held it tight to her chest before nodding to the former king. Who smirked before saying "LETS GO!"
The Seal of Time started to spin and turned silver. Ryu looked down at one of the symbols in the Seal before the smile dropped of his face and he muttered a barely audible "Oh no….." before the blinding light signaled the two demons and demonic souls' trip to another age.
