I do not own I, Frankenstein or Naruto. This is a fanfiction only.

As much as I hated who my life turned out I never in my wildest dreams believed that my end would be like this, freezing to death trying to rescue the two people that hated me most of my life.

That blasted Sasuke, only he would be dumb enough to take his wife fishing to Snow Country in the middle of winter. I guess Sakura is also to blame since she actually agreed to the trip in the first place. I am who celebrates their honeymoon going ice fishing?

I fought through a rather nasty civil war, rescued a princess, and even saved the lives of my former teammates more than I care to remember by the time I was done with the problems in that country. Did the civil war make them reconsider their ice fishing trip? I should think not.

The ship they rented was a miserable piece of driftwood for all I can see, and sure enough, the ship hit an iceberg. I did my best to save them and as a result, I was left in the freezing water aboard a sinking boat.

The irony finally hit me as I felt the pain of the blood in my heart freezing, and death coming to greet me. This entire fishing trip was their attempt at killing me and I fell for it, they must be really happy. I could almost hear the people of Konoha celebrating my demise.

Time seemed to stop, and I saw a person in a cloak coming towards me. If this person was not carrying a scythe and I didn't know better I would say Hidan was paying me a visit from the afterlife, but this person seemed a lot more friendly than Hidan ever was.

The other thing that caught my attention was how this person walked, the movement as this person walk reminded me of a woman, and this lady had no qualms about the way her hips were moving meaning she was that confident in herself.

As she got near me, her hand grabbed me by the throat or at least I felt was my throat and pulled me up still I was standing. "Nice to finally meet you, Naruto. Don't be scared, I know how frightening my appearance is."

I looked at her and could see that under that cloak she was indeed dressed, but what could be seen was just a skeleton. "No need to worry, Reaper. I am not so easily frightened. If I could live with a Biju for most of my life as my only friend. You aren't that scary to me."

She smiled as I said that and began laughing. I needed to have a question answered and she was the appropriate person to ask. "So tell me where am I going? Heaven, Hell or somewhere in between?"

She smiled and with a wave of her hand she made two rather comfortable armchairs appear and let me sit down to relax. "Actually, Naruto your fate is something different altogether. If I was simply going to deliver you to one of those places, we wouldn't need to have this conversation."

"Your fate lies in battle Naruto and in battle you shall find hope and maybe even the love you never found in that village. As for that village, they pretty much sealed their fate when they conspired to kill you with your two teammates. Had you been alive you would have saved them from the attack of your cousin Nagato? Since you will not be present he will succeed in destroying that village."

Somehow I didn't feel sad about that, not one bit. "I guess the only thing I regret is the death of Kurama, he was a good friend of mine. I should have listened to what he told me about this mission, but I can't abandon those in need, and much less my old teammates."

"As we speak hundreds of years have come and gone, and I see someone is trying to dig your remains from the block of ice he found you in. It will not be long before you are among the living, but before you go sign my contract. This way I can come help you should you ever find yourself in a situation you can't resolve on your own."

I signed the contract and she smiled as she came closer to me and gave me a hickey of all things. The place she kissed turned black and it spread until a symbol like a tattoo was on my neck.

"Don't be a stranger Naruto, be sure to call on me anytime you need help."

She disappeared just as quickly as she appeared, and I found myself rather uncomfortable, to say the least. I felt like my body had been shocked with a few dozen Chidori, and the fact that I was quite naked didn't help matters.

The fact that a man who looked the same age as me was laughing like a manic also didn't help much. He kept screaming it's alive over and over again. Great how do I find myself strapped to a table, bare buck naked and with enough stitches that make me wonder if this person ever bothers learning how to use a needle.

"I know you are excited about something, but could we do something about my current condition? I am not an exhibitionist by any means, and why do I feel so groggy?"

I got the impression he didn't understand a word I was saying, I just glared at him for not paying attention.

This got the man to look at me and looked quite surprised, "You can talk, and think that is wonderful, as for clothing I am sorry but I can't provide you with any clothes. I need to do some tests before something else happens. I am Doctor Viktor Frankenstein, and you are?"

I looked at the ceiling and decided to keep things simple, "Naruto, you can call me Naruto. Why do I look like someone tried to make a quilt out of my hide? Why does my body feel like it does?"

He laughed and dragged a chair right by the large table I was on, began to examine my body if the way he was touching was any indication. "You feel different because, by the time I found you, you had lost most major organs and were pretty much a severed head in a block of ice."

"I painstakingly reconstructed your body using body parts of several dozen corpses. The grogginess I think is due to possible formaldehyde still in the veins of the body parts I used, but no matter you will survive it or I will just have to rebuild your body again when you die."

He kept touching me and I really was feeling rather uncomfortable. "Viktor if I may call you that, what exactly are you doing to me?" He kept working on my body as he looked like was thinking about something.

"Naruto as a Doctor we lose many patients and as such, I found it a rather frustrating situation. I worked on a patient for hours on end, only to end up dying because I took a nap. To put it quite bluntly I am trying to defeat someone that has defeated me more times than I care to count, death."

As I remember Reaper was actually very nice, sweet and caring. Then again I only had Konoha to compare her to and I could count the people who were nice to me on one hand.

"So I am what your triumph over the person who beat you time and time again, not that I mind living even if currently, I am more naked than I would prefer, but besides this colorful experience what do I get out of this experiment of yours?"

Viktor looked at me quite amused, "Well since you want payment, what could an old corpse like you probably want? Besides, Clothes maybe."

I remember something Reaper said and smiled at Viktor or at least I tried, "How about some companionship? From what you told me I am the first of my kind, having a mate would make my stay in this drafty old lab easier to live in."

Viktor looked at me and nodded his head, "Actually Naruto that isn't such a bad idea, even I could use with the tender touches of the fair sex. I will tell you what if you help me conduct all my tests and repair this lab I will consider making you a mate, god knows I want one too."

For three years he kept prodding, cutting, injecting, and examine me in every way possible. The clothes were little more than rags, but then again I only had rags to work with. At least I was not naked and the only times I was not on that metal slab was when his lady visitor decided to pay him a romantic visit.

The drafty old lab looked a lot homier thanks to my work and my shadow clones. I hunted for food in the wild and gathered what rags I could find thrown by the people of a far village.

Little by little I got used to my now larger body and the fact that my head somehow grew to match the rest of my body was something that initially freaked me out, except that after a while I came to realize that stressing over things I could not change was foolish.

Life slowly became a sort of routine for me, get up early in the morning and hunt something for the food of the day, examinations, and tests in the afternoon, cook dinner, clean or modify my clothes at the evening, at night eat dinner alone, or sometimes the Doctor would eat dinner with me, and on rare occasions even bring along his lady friend.

I learned quite a bit about making clothes thanks to her and expanded my vocabulary quite a bit. If anything the Doctor had more books in his home than I seen in most of my life.

It was the fifth year since I woke up like I was, and I could say without sounding like it was a lie, my life was pretty good. It was actually great compared to my childhood actually.

On a cold day in the month of October, I say Viktor enter a new phase in his life, as he married the lady I thought that was rather nice to me. On the subject of making me a mate, well the only excuse Viktor ever gave me was that women live longer than me, and thus it would take longer for him to find suitable organs to begin constructing me a mate.

The man had been good and honest to me so far, I had no reason to suspect that what he told me was a lie. A cold night in November my comfortable life came to end once again. I would see the creature that I didn't know I would spend my future hunting.

The man smelled of rotten eggs, and there was something terribly unsettling about him. I told Anna many times never to talk with these men, but she often said that they were friends of Viktor, that they would sometimes provide him with things for his research.

I still didn't trust them one bit, and one night I hid in the crawlspaces up on the roof of our home, I saw what this creature's real intentions were. They changed into some grotesque monster with reptilian eyes, horns, and scales. They went and raped Anna when she would not tell them where Viktor hid his research journal.

By the time I got to where they were she had been mutilated. I was furious at how these monsters treated my friend and so I picked up a strange metal cross, I used it to beat them, kill them for what they did.

The strangest thing was as soon as one died, the body would burn up and the flames would go straight down into the floor and into the ground. After I killed the five monsters I was left standing alone with the dead body of Anna.

Viktor just had to come home that very moment and when he saw his wife, he jumped to conclusions. "Damn it, Naruto. Why did you kill Anna? Did you realize I was never going to keep my promise? Is this revenge for me lying to you all these years?"

I couldn't help but feel disappointed, sad, and a bit angry at his words. I, however, was not going to be accused of a crime I did not commit. "No, Viktor I did not do this, your so called supporters did this. They wanted your journal, and did this to her when Anna didn't tell them where you kept it."

The man who once I called my friend took up a rifle and began firing at me. I dodge it, as he screamed that he would make me pay for my supposed crimes. I decided to do something, escape where no man could follow me.

I headed north, the cold did not affect me in the least. Little did I know that Viktor now obsessed with getting revenge on me would follow me. I told him many times what happened and never once did he believe me. I might not be affected by the cold temperatures and the harshness of the cold wind, but my friend was not as lucky as I.

He died cursing my name, and I knew why Anna didn't know where his journal was. Viktor carried it with him all the time. I decided to give him a proper burial, I went to the graveyard where Anna was buried. If they can't be together in life, I would make certain they would be together in death.
