Prologue: Welcome to Tristram
"Where am I?"
Naruto was dazed as he looked at his surroundings and found himself in a cage beside an old man in dark beaten robes and a long beard.
Naruto heard the man speak but he didn't understand a word that came out of the man's mouth.
"Where am I old man?" Naruto tried to use hand gestures at the same time to try and convey his question.
The man seemed to get the gist of what he asked so answered "Tristram."
"Tristram…? Where the hell is Tristram?" Naruto spoke his eyesight still hazy, then came the pain as he doubled over clutching his torso as it glowed red as Katon • Tenrō [Fire Style • Heavenly Prison] activated.
Naruto writhed in pain as he felt the bonds burn his insides, he could feel it move and he could feel every drop of agony from such movement.
As Naruto writhed he didn't witness the reactions of his imprisoned audience, fear was predominant followed by worry for him as in their eyes he was no more than a 16 year old boy in pain due to some sorcerous technique. Then they watched with bated amazement as the fiery glowing bonds on him shifted and moved, their form changing to that of chains wrapping around his arms and they could see the steam rising from the now black marks that remained.
Naruto raised his arm pushing back the sleeve to get a better look at the still warm tattoo that was in place it seemed to be an intricate design but clearly chains, he could feel his chakra being pulled into it but it didn't seem to be causing him any pain or hindering his chakra.
He'd figure out what they did later right now he wanted to know what was going on and where the hell are Hinata and Ryūzetsu. He looked around and found that his cage seems to be much bigger and held quite a few people, a few elderly, women and children all of who viewed Naruto with curious and wary gazes, Naruto gave the children a reassuring smile as he pushed himself up and leaning against the bars.
Naruto pressed his palm against the still bleeding wound he had but it seemed to be significantly smaller and hardly life threatening, yet his hand still soaked red for it. He reminisced on how he got it and how if he ever found Ryūzetsu…if she was even here…he would chew her out. Kusagakure (Hidden Grass Village) ANBU or not, that was the single most idiotic thing to ever do and coming from him that's saying something.
***Flashback***
"You still don't understand?" The Beast named Satori before Naruto spoke in a condescending tone; it was as large as Gamabunta and Kirabi in Eight-Tails form especially with its large wings. It is headless, with bones protruding from the mouth on its chest and is covered in black feathers. It also has a long thin tail, and its hands and feet are clawed and sickly thin to the point where it looks almost bone-like with skin attached.
"The village used those silly feelings of ours to bind and control us." It sneered at Naruto who was in Sage Mode stood atop the Gokuraku no Hakō (Box of Paradise) a giant box with a demonic mask-like face on each of the four sides The box was thought to be able to grant the person that opens it any wish, though, this is simply a myth and in reality it simply corrupts whatever enters within its confines. Once opened, a monster named Satori, a puppet of the box, comes out.
The puppet's job is to capture enemies and throw them into the box.
Enemies thrown into the box become comrades.
And so it would be an endless cycle of madness if unleashed upon the world.
Satori spoke again "Cast aside your bonds! If you do that, you can also reach the heights that I have attained."
Naruto created two Shadow clones and answered "You're the one who still doesn't understand. You don't grow strong just because you cast your bonds aside. Having true strength means to protect the bonds you have and always seek new ones. That is the strength your father had!"
Satori laughed in response "All I hear is a pathetic excuse coming from a pathetic human."
Ryūzetsu shouted from the side "That's enough, Muku! How can you say something so horrible? Wake up already!" She stumbled as she still felt weak from enduring Tenrō (Heavenly Imprisonment), she nonetheless attempted to get through her childhood friend Muku who was twisted into this thing and try to open his eyes to the truth of his father Mui. "Mui… your father…never once betrayed you! Come back! Did you forget the promise you made to me?"
But her pleas fell on deaf ears as the Satori thrust his claw at Naruto. Naruto prepared a Ōdama Rasengan (Giant Rasengan) in retaliation but faltered when Ryūzetsu jumped in between in an attempt to block the attack from Satori.
Naruto moved swiftly as he grabbed Ryūzetsu and threw her to the side but at a cost as he found himself impaled by the claw.
"Naruto…" Ryūzetsu' voice filled with shock as she stared at Naruto who was coughing up blood. His comrades from Konoha screamed his name and ran forward to aid him.
"Ryūzetsu… Enough already…" Naruto grabbed onto Satori' claw, it gave him a cruel smile "Let's see how strong your bonds are."
Satori swept across the field with its long tail, knocking away Naruto's friends as if they were flies and as it did…it grabbed the nearest of Naruto's downed friends.
Naruto struggled against the claw despite the pain it caused "Hinata!"
"Let's see if your friends share your sentiments once I throw them into the box!" Satori flung Hinata into the box; Ryūzetsu threw herself in between in an attempt to save her but Satori slammed his tail into the two causing both to be engulfed in the box.
Naruto growled animalistic as Kyūbi's chakra came forth in droves, he ignored the burning affect of Tenrō as he pulled himself off the claw and gripped it letting the corrosive chakra flow over Satori. It had said that it now feared only two things one the fear of being outside the box and two the fear of the ones attacking it…now it had a third fear Naruto Uzumaki.
Satori threw Naruto into the air and let the box suck him within, the shocked cries of his comrades was melody to its ears.
"Don't worry you all will join him…the entire world will be engulfed into the box!" Satori laughed but stopped and gasped as it felt the box shake with energy, the open mouth glowed and whirred with energy,
"Fūton • ShuiroRasenshuriken [Wind Style • Vermillion Spiraling Shuriken]" In a shattering display a crimson glowing Rasenshuriken no doubt empowered by Kyūbi's and Nature chakra sped out the box and straight at Satori giving it not even a second worth of reaction time as it was struck by the attack bisecting the beast.
But it didn't stop there; no then came the aftershock of the attack, millions, billions of angry red needles of wind snapped the chakra flow at a cellular level causing not only chakra failure but massive internal bleeding and nerve death.
As the attack subsided all the Konoha Shinobi had was a closed box, the dead body of Muku and the loss of Ryūzetsu, Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyūga to the Gokuraku no Hakō (Box of Paradise).
~~~Flashback~~~
Naruto understood how Muku must have felt inside that box, it was everything he dreaded. Surrounded only by darkness and the faces of the box which always seemed to be mocking him, he prayed to Kami that Hinata and Ryūzetsu were safe; he remembered how he got here.
Naruto in an final attempt for freedom drew on every bit of Kyūbi's chakra and what remained of the Nature chakra creating a massive vermillion Rasenshuriken he threw it at one of the faces but like Muku had told him before the box was impossible to crack but that much force was enough to create a sort of rift that sucked in him, Ryūzetsu and Hinata. He knew the both were probably in this strange world with him, if anything he needed to free himself and go find them.
Naruto looked at his surroundings as he became alert from the pain and found himself looking at smoldering ruins of buildings, the fires still burning away what was left. Their prison seemed to be in the middle of town built on top of what would be the gallows stage.
Naruto looked around and found the surrounding environment seemed to be…dying. Trees and plants were withering away to hollow husks, the earth was blackened and cracked and the animals seemed to have been torn open by something.
He also noticed something else there were no able bodied men among the imprisoned, there were a few kids probably 12 or 11 but Naruto was the only person who comes close. But Naruto wondered…never mind he found them… all of them… carcasses piled upon one another and many were just impaled upon stakes letting their life fluid pooling beneath them and cake the ground crimson.
Naruto felt sick as he noticed that many of the bodies were women and children…infants too.
Naruto immediately understood why the carcasses where here…why the mutilated remains were left before them, it was to shatter any smidgen of hope the imprisoned may have. And also to serve as a grisly reminder of the fate that awaits them.
Naruto tried to pry open the cell, he heard the old man warn him…or at least Naruto thinks that was a warning and it was with good reason too as a armored skeleton appeared before the gate forcing Naruto to dodge it's blade as it swung between the bars.
Naruto heard chattering shouts in a distance and saw a congregation of creatures walking towards them, at the center was their apparent leader a hulking man, muscle bound dressed in a crimson tunic and pants with brown boots…he had an unnatural energy around him and he had just half a face…Naruto could actually smell the decay of his flesh and his brain matter actually drip out with each step.
Naruto heard the old man droll out a single word "Griswold."
So this thing was named Griswold, a walking dead…
Naruto saw a blue skinned horned imp like creature bare its fangs at him and attempt to grab at him but Naruto was quick and easily dodged. Naruto's hand shot forward and grabbed the creature's horn and pulled slamming its head against the iron bars hard.
Naruto's cell mates viewed Naruto in awe; he grabbed it by the horn and slammed its head into iron bars with all he had. A sixteen year old boy had the audacity to do that in their situation, many thought that he had sealed his fate by such a display.
Dazed the creature stumbled back and right into Griswold who merely swung his arm as if swatting a fly and knocked the imp's head clean off, laughing deeply as he did so.
"Well…done…lad, now…you've…earned…your…place…here tonight. You'll…enjoy the…games…we have…planned." His garbled tone almost incomprehensible, Naruto of course didn't understand a word he was saying but if the sinister smirk the undead held was any clue, it wouldn't be anything nice or pleasant.
"Allow…me to…Welcome you to Tristram…"
Yo what's up?
Its 15/5/2012 Diablo 3 has finally been unleashed onto the world, let the slaughter begin!
This Fic is to commemorate this day and its release…
