Ahem, dis be a challenge fic dealy. Yep. But really I saw PuppetMaster55 say something about a challenge in "Lucidity" and I thought, a challenge? Why not? So im goin to have sparadic fun with this. this fic is about Naruto getting the curse mark from Orochimaru instead of Sasuke getting it, also Naruto becoming allies with Orochimaru... i think thats what the challenge said. I hope so anyway. nono thats what it says i just looked. This is VERY disturbing to some people im sure so as a warning, If your faint of heart don't read this. Its rather gorey in places. Also get a dictionary out my vocabulary is pretty good. enough of my rambling lets attempt this challenge!
I really need to stop adding more stories though... I can't juggle very well.
Chapter 1: A fun beggining...or not
Those eyes were staring at me again. Everywhere I went they found me and never relented. I ran and ran but I could never get away from them. The evil, glaring eyes of the villagers of Konohagakure were really doing a number on me, I had to admit. I have a messed up mind if you wanted to know, I believe im what they call a was it psychopath? I don't know but I have a weird mind anyway. You can't really blame me though, if you were getting psychologicaly tortured every day you would be the same way and don't you dare try and say otherwise! I've had to deal with this torture for since i was able to walk and talk and I learned to do that at three. I'm thirteen.
This torture I speak of is the glaring eyes, the hate I recieve from everybody I see, the mumbles I hear behind my back. I could just stay at home but I can't just do that now can I? Im training to be a ninja just so I can escape this life, and i'll be damned if I don't get away. Being a ninja would get me away from all of this safely right? Besides risking my life for a village I really dislike, I wouldn't have to deal with the villagers so that is considered a win in my mind. This motivation to be a ninja has propelled me pretty far and I like to consider myself a pretty damn good ninja, unofficialy of course. Im the top of my class at the academy beating out even the last Uchiha.
But enough of that back to the eyes, those evil, dirty, hate filled eyes! I was walking to the academy at the moment so swerving away into an alley and wasting time wouldn't do at all, I can't be late that would hurt my place on top. Maybe it wouldn't but im pretty paranoid so no chances. As usual I was givin a wide berth with everyone watching me as if I would suddenly start attacking people for fun. The assorted whispers came with this as always keeping me on edge, making me have to hold back on running with my hands blocking my ears. If only I was more inconspicuous, although I suppose it had something to do with my clothes. I was wearing a orange jumpsuit that also had blue and white on it, not very hiding friendly at all.
I finally made it to the academy, a sort of reprieve, where I sat down in the back rows of my class. That wouldn't hurt my place would it? I quickly moved to the front into the one free seat next to one Uchiha Sasuke, the boy that was trying his hardest to beat me. I also tormented him for fun sometimes, but everyone needs a fun time right?
"Well hello Sasuke-chan, how are you doing?" I smirked as I said this. Sasuke didn't like me too much for the harassing, I would assume. Sasuke just looked away from me, not saying anything. Trying to ignore me huh? "Oh don't be like that Sasuke-chan I was just being nice. Well if your going to stare that wall to death I'll have to help the wall, there is no killing in this classroom." I grabbed his shoulder roughly and turned him to me. Normally he would have glared at me if this was a few years ago, but it was like a kid getting grabbed by his long-time bully. Actually that was exactly what it was, so he looked at me with enough fear that he couldn't hide it all basically. "You don't look to happy to see me, Why is that? I thought we were friends Sasuke-chan." The feeling I got when people looked at me in fear was intoxicating. The teacher walked in and I let Sasuke go, no reason to have Iruka-sensei mad at me.
Poor Sasuke though. I remember when his clan died and he didn't show up for a week. When he did come back he started working as hard as he could, even challenging me for top of the class. I also remember his face when I kicked it behind the academy to teach him an important lesson, no one challenges Uzumaki Naruto. Yes, I had brought him back there and beat the hell out of him for trying to do better than me. I'll tell you again I have a messed up mind. I waited a whole year before I did that though, I was nice enough to do that, his clan had just died. If only he wasn't so fun to hurt... oh well. In a separate world im sure Sasuke would be top dog and have many fangirls, but not in this one.
Iruka started talking about how our genin exams were tomorrow and that we needed to train for it, or else we might fail. Of course I had planned to train anyway, I wanted to be able to fight a chuunin and win before I graduated, so I could be considered the best genin in the village and be promoted quickly. I've planned a bit ahead as you can see. Iruka stopped talking and I looked up to see why he stopped. The Hokage was standing at the door, politely waiting for someone to let him in, completely unnecessary considering who he was but polite non the less. Iruka let him in, a bit embarrassed. "Hokage-sama, what a surprise!" Iruka seemed a good bit surprised indeed, along with most of the class as they looked on in awe.
"I did tell you I was going to come by today Iruka. Do you remember why?" Something seemed to stir in Iruka and he nodded, remembering. "Hai Hokage-sama. Naruto could you come here please?" Imagine my surprise when he asked that. Apparently the Hokage wanted to see me about something, and I wasn't one to deny him, no one really was. Not in this village anyway. I stood up and looked to my side to see Sasuke smirking at me, but that quickly died when he saw me glare at him. The Hokage saw the exchange and would probably say something about it later or not at all. Being the wily old man he was you could never tell. "Naruto, we are going to my office for a little talk, Follow me." That worried me but I followed him anyway, not that I had much of a choice. I took one last look back at the class to make sure no one was mocking me. No one was, so satisfied with that I followed the Hokage with an air of confidence normally unknown to me.
The walk to his office in the Hokage tower was a very short one as the academy was right outside the tower. As a matter of fact they were the same building! We arrived at the office in about a minute or two and the Hokage closed the door behind us. "Now Naruto there is something very important I want to discuss with you. Its the reason most of the villagers don't like you, and im only telling you this because I believe you will pass your test tomorrow. You see thirteen years ago the Kyuubi no Kitsune attacked Konoha, leaving us in a terrible place. We had lost a lot of ninja and we lost our Yondaime Hokage in order to defeat this menace, but we couldn't kill the Kyuubi. Nobody could, can, or most likely will ever be able to kill a beast such as a bijuu. But as I said we did defeat it, through the power of sealing. This is something that all of the Great Shinobi Nations have done before and a normal ninja village has done it too. All of the bijuu can be contained in objects except the Kyuubi, however there are none currently in such objects. They are in people, people we call Jinchuuriki or "power of the human sacrifice", Naruto you are one of these people. You are the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi."
I was speechless. There was nothing I could say about this. All of this hate I received, all the torture on my mind was all because I held a demon inside of me. I suppose their hate is understandable but that didn't make me hate them anyless. Nothing could really make me stop hating them, until one day when I stop caring. "I... I don't know what to say." The Hokage nodded his head in understanding. "Naruto, I wish there was something I could do for you, but there isn't anything I can do. You have to change this by yourself." I nodded in equal understanding. He may be Hokage but he can't tell everyone to change their opinions, it just doesn't work that way. "Is that all Hokage-sama?" I asked, ready to leave. The Hokage stopped for a second, before letting me leave. "Yes, that is all. You may leave." I got out of the chair I was sitting in and walked out.
Why was my life so messed up? Im crazy, with my mind going everywhere sometimes making me apathetic to everything and other times making me emotional about everything. Random bloodlust and mellow waves shifted around in my mind like an ocean. I can't explain it so i'll stop trying. Then I get mentally tortured for ten years and find out only today that the cause is a demon I have inside of me. Well then I believe this village doesn't deserve my loyalty at all now does it? My plan of action from now on until its over is get strong and leave. I hope no one was expecting much of anything else, because I am angry about this whole thing. I guess its the price you pay for power though eh? I have a demon in me who's power I can use to gain everything I want, everything!
Nows not the time for this however we can work towards that at a later date. Right now I was considering going home or going back to class, and there was no real reason to go to class now. I'm one of the most powerful people in the world because of my demon and class may have just started about a half hour ago but I think I deserve to relax today, paranoia be damned! Hehehe I think I may have snapped, I actually want to terrify the villagers. I mean, they know what I have, and I know what I have so how about it? The next unlucky bastard that annoyed me was gonna get it. I walked down a main path just daring people to do something thoroughly scaring them, if the people shying away from me with looks of terror meant anything.
I stopped for second when something came to mind that I hadn't considered. Why was I only told now? Why did the adults know about this but the kids didn't? I figure they were alive at the time to know but why didn't they tell their kids when their kids knew about the Kyuubi attacking anyway? There had to be a reason the younger generation didn't know I housed the Kyuubi, and it most likely had something to do with the Hokage. I know he has been watching out for me best he could since I left the orphanage, and even when I was still in it. He must have done something to forbid them, thats the only way. I hate how things always come to me late like that, if this had come to mind earlier I could have questioned him on it. Oh well I can't win all the time. Well I don't win usually ever but still, you get the point. And incase you didn't then I mean LIFE ISN'T FAIR.
I guess this is another reason my mind is weird I have a auto-biography or something going on in there. I'll have a whole book done by the end of the day at this rate! Yeah I lost my mind, I really did. I need to just rest and end this awful day before more things happen and I actually lose all of my sanity. I continued walking after my random stop and eventually made it to my apartment, still no body harassed me on my way back. I thought that was a bit odd but went with it, I don't question good things after all. When I opened my door I had to clear all of the Dictionaries and assorted literary books out of the way before I could get in. Yes, I read a lot and the dictionarys were really helpful when the books threw a word at me I didn't understand. I like to think I have the best vocabulary out of my age group, and im pretty sure I do.
I didn't feel like going to bed right away even though I could really use a nap, instead I went into a secret room I made out of the apartment next door. It would seem people didn't want to live too near me seeing as how the rooms on both sides of me were empty but just about the rest of the places had people staying in them. I morphed One of them into a training room, but only for training that didn't make a lot of noise. It wasn't the cleanest place, I hated cleaning unless it was totally necessary and a side room wasn't worthy of this at all. I just made it dirtier everyday by sweating in it so I saw no reason to wash it unless I could smell it from my actual room. That being said it still stunk bad in there but I got used to it. I must have trained for almost all day because when I left to take a shower I saw out of my window that the sun was about to start setting.
At night I felt like an animal and always had bloodlust building until I went to sleep or tore through animals in the forest and truly savored the warm blood traveling down my throat and chest when I ate parts of the animals i killed, like a true demon. Now that I thought of it I could really blame that on Kyuubi if I wanted to, I won't but I could. I still had a bit of dried blood on my chest from the last night, that I hadn't focused enough on when I showered last night. I made sure to get rid of it this time. I contained myself the best I could when I got out of the shower and the sun was gone, replaced by the moon. I shook the thoughts of killing out of my mind and layed down on my bed, curling up under the blankets enjoying its warm embrace.
Dream time
I opened my eyes expecting to see sunlight filling my room and I wasn't disappointed. A yawn escaped me and I got out of my bed to go to the bathroom as per usual but I stopped. You might ask why and i'll tell you, its because there was an abnormal heat coming form outside. I turned to look out my mirror and gasped at what I saw. Outside, houses were burning down and black smoke was rising from the wreckage. I looked out towards the village gates and saw something truly terrifying. At the gates was a giant fox with nine tails, rapidly destroying the village with fire and its incredible tails. My house had been untouched so far, but not for long because the Kyuubi stopped attacking a large building in favor of turning towards me, slowly stalking its way to me instilling as much fear of death in me as possible.
It opened its great maw and breathed fire all over my building, setting it ablaze. I could feel the lower floors buckling and held onto my bed waiting for the impact of the floors collapsing. After a few seconds I opened my eyes to see why I hadn't fell yet and saw one large eye looking at me through my window. The floor then collapsed under me sending me falling three stories and hitting the ground hard. My vision was blurry and I could see stars in the sides of my vision. I sat up rubbing my head and quickly rolled out of the way when my bed fell from my floor almost smashing me. I looked up and decided it was time to run when more stuff was falling, this time with fire on them.
I made it out by jumping through the nearest window and came face-to-face with the Legendary Kyuubi. "You made it out of there with pure survival skills and quick thinking. I commend you child. Maybe you are worthy to wield my power after all." The Kyuubi raised its head and surveyed the area. "However i'm not sure you thirst for destruction as I do. Show me you do." I looked around and saw the village was now perfectly in order, as if nothing happened to it. Perhaps the Kyuubi wanted me to destroy it? Yes I do believe it did. "Time for revenge bitches!" All of the people that heard that immediately paled and ran from me. I tried to chase but found myself weighted down. There were weights stuck to my legs and I couldn't move.
The Kyuubi appeared again and sneered as best a fox could. "You may have the thirst but you have none of the power. I refuse to let someone as weak as you use my power." He disappeared leaving me to myself. "I'm such a failure. A weak worthless failure. Maybe having something tell me I was weak was good for me though. I was getting cocky earlier after all. I can't afford to be weak like this in the future, I need power! I can't achieve anything as a weak pathetic excuse for a ninja!" A powerful rage filled me and the weights became weightless. I saw red as I charged down every villager I saw and brutally killed them, spraying their blood on nearby buildings. Raw chakra started emanating from me and I charged through a building, breaking the brick walls easily. I reached the center and my arms flew out, chakra exploding out of me destroying the building in an explosion of red.
The Kyuubi appeared once again and stopped me from continuing my spree. "Now that was the power I wanted. Show the world the power of the Kyuubi!" The fox roared into the air and disintegrated into little red balls. I walked up to one and touched it making them all fly directly into me, exploding the rest of the village in the explosion caused by me consuming such power. Truly a wonderful dream.
The following morning
I awoke in a start, scrambling out of my bed. A new feeling was inside of me, like a new energy flowing through my veins. I flexed my hand and claws popped out of where my nails used to be. My vision was also much clearer for some reason. I ran into the bathroom to see if there were any other changes done to me and the first thing I noticed was my eyes were now red and my pupil was slitted. I gasped and saw I also had a pair of fangs, about a whole inch longer than they should be. The Kyuubi didn't play around when he gave someone his power, he goes all the way! Well at least I don't have fox ears or fur or something silly like that. The problem with this though is what will people think when they see this? I think people would notice my eyes for sure, and they would notice my now darker whisker marks, something I just noticed. Of course if I just noticed it no body else probably would so thats fine.
Today was going to be a fun day huh?
Yerp thats it. I used a new formatting i guess you could say, im actually using paragraphs! By the way im only doing first person for the first chapter (this one) so the rest will most likely be in third person. So did you like it?
