The day was normal enough Naruto had woken up, got dressed, had breakfast consisting of vegtables, milk and cereal and done his morning exercises.
He arrived at the accadamy, his second year having failed the year before, he was doing remarkably better in the practical even in the theory he begun to excel showing up some of the more bookwormish kids, to Naruto life was good.
But all good things must eventualy come to an end.
One of the accadamy students, Kori a third year failure and two years senior to Naruto was paired with him for a sparing match during the practical of the accadamy exercises.
Kori was taller then Naruto by at least six inches, hair an ebony black cut short in a stylish pageboy cut, he wore a white gi and a simple pair of scuff sandals.
Normally Kori was a quite level headed child if somewhat a little weak in most ninja skills, his only real acomplishment being that he was extremly good at the Jyuken, a form of martial arts that used chakra to perform techniques.
Technically any form of Taijutsu that pushed chakra into an enemy was called jyuken, it was not as the Hyuuga thought strictly 'theirs' they merly used their own form of it.
So Kori stood infront of Naruto, angry at himself that he was failing where the class clown passed, that same rage flowed from being directed towards himself to being directed at the sun-kissed blonde.
Mizuki looked over the two students ignorant of the emotions welling in Kori "this will be a taijutsu battle, no ninjutsu or genjutsu, ready hajime" letting his hand fall Mizuki stepped back.
Acting first Kori kicked out at waist level in a round house kick catching Naruto by surprise but still bearly nicking him, following up Kori punched at Naruto missing as he jumped back.
Mizuki looked away from the two students, the fight was nothing special and he saw Iruka calling him over, seeing nothing that needed to be seriously monitored Mizuki walked over as both Kori and Naruto exchanged several light punches.
"So whats up" Mizuki drawled out following Iruka as he lit up a cigerate with an oddly incense like smell which Iruka turned his nose up at the aroma "I have to take a student to the hospital can you cover for me".
Boom
Before either could say anymore an explosion reverberated along the ground nearly knocking both chunin over before they regained their balance, Mizuki looked in the direction of the disturbance then begun to run where he was greeted to a horifying sight to behold.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moments earlier.
The fight between Naruto and Kori had escalated, Kori pissed off that Naruto was capable to keep up with him at this level, Naruto on the other hand didn't know why he was angered, he sported bruises from the fight but that was normal in a fight.
No this was much different, like two newly awakened dragons each fought the crowd cheering each on as both struck blows.
Abruptly Kori upped the fight grabbing Naruto by the shoulders and kneeing him in the stomach releasing a massive amount of chakra and severely damaging the blondes internal organs, not stopping there Kori clasps both his hands together and slams them into Naruto's shoulder also releasing massive amounts of chakra rupturing the muscles in his shoulder and arm.
Kori then made a movement most would find repulsive even in the most degrading battle, A single finger jutted out towards Naruto's face which was a mask of pain and fear, fear so great that he had almost lost control of his bodily functions, the finger decended and struck deep, deep into Naruto's left eye.
The eye exploded in a shower of gore and Kori moved back stumbling slightly his actions sinking in "what have I done" he gasped out.
"Gahhhh" Naruto cried out thrashing and clutching at his ruined eye, the pain from the previous hits to his body forgotten "My Eye, My Eye!" screaming Naruto shuddered in pain as it felt like someone had poured acid into his brain.
Naruto wildly looked around with his one good eye, the sights he was seeing was not of the accadamy or any part of Konoha for that matter, he saw what looked to be himself, he stood upon a pile of bodies most mangled beyond recognition, his teeth had turned into fangs and the very air smelt of sulphur.
the creature was holding an extremly long blade in one arm, the blade was well over twice his height but he held it as if it was made of nothing but air, the figure clawed at the air and screammed in a gutteral roar his one eye shining brightly in a deep crimson glow, the slitted eye displayed rage, hate and many more primal feelings as it glowed errily and Naruto knew instinctivly what it was.
Brought out of his vision Naruto stared directly at Kori "I am the darkness" a feeling of understanding filled him as he said that, it all felt so clear now, the words whispered behind him, the glares and coldness that everyone gave him it was all because HE 'was the darkness'.
Time slowed and Naruto walked forward, it appeared as if all others were stuck in time and he was the only one that could act, standing right infront of Kori Naruto lifted one hand and placed it over Kori's face, an explosion of chakra surronded his hand which rocketed Kori away from him with the force of several freight trains to where he lay crumpled the wall and most of the ceiling crumbling as he passed through them.
This was the sight Mizuki and Iruka came upon, students who had previously been cheering either lay in a fetal position shivering or were rushing out of the room paying no attention to the teachers they ran past.
Amidst the throngs of students lay both Naruto and Kori, the ground covered in blood from both Naruto arm and mouth and Kori's legs that looked very broken, acting on automatic Iruka and Mizuki gently picked both students up and made their way to the Konoha hospital.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I swear I was only out for a minute, I never thought this would happen" argued Mizuki, normally he would never talk back to this man but this was one of the time he felt he was in the right.
The Hokage sighed and rubbed his temples, across the room lay two unconcious children, one had his legs in a cast along with his face and chest bandaged the other had a gauze and bandage over his eye, the majority of his stomach also heavily bandaged and his left arm was missing removed at the elbow joint and wrapped heavily in bandages, both were also stapped down to the bed with an Iv and monitor sticking out of them.
'This is going to be hell to explain' thought the Hokage, being a ninja for all his life allowed him to read people rather easily and he knew Mizuki hated the boy, his parents and siblings had died in the Kyuubi attack and he never fully revovered from it but he also knew Mizuki wasn't lying.
looking at the bedside of the two students several flowers and get well cards were laid scattered, despite the best efforts of parents some students being in their rebelous stage of life ignored them in favor of people who they would most likely have to work with.
turning serious Sarutobi stared at Mizuki "never the less it was under your supervision that this happened, which has led to two students being seriously injured, one of which will need to be tutored to use the new arm he'll be fitted with and learn to both see with only one eye and use one handed seals if he continues to train as a ninja.
Mizuki flinched at this lowering his head in shame "I can help with the first part, I have done training with a Kugetsu and can help him get acostomed to the new arm" the pity for the boy outweighed the hate for the Kyuubi that lay sealed inside him.
The Hokage continued to stare before nodding his head letting the matter rest "hopefully this action will make you take your position more seriously when teaching the future generation".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pain, that was in the forefront of his thoughts, his whole body ached, the left side of his face was throbbing and he couldn't feel below the elbow of his left arm, opening his one good eye Naruto was brought into the world of the living.
At first his vision was blured as his eye adjusted to the bright ceiling lights of the hospital, grunting Naruto attempted to get up only to realise his whole body was restricted to the bed, looking around the world swam briefly and he stared directly right to another bed with Kori there strapped down, both his legs in casts.
Images of the fight passed through his mind and Naruto winced, much of the damage was healed but the phantom feelings of pain were still present, remembering something Naruto's eye gazed at his body and he almost choked as he looked at what was left of his arm "no, oh kami-sama no" he whispered.
"No, No! this isn't happening" not being able to take anymore Naruto broke down sobbing quitely.
what seemed like hours past before Kori finally decided to make his presence known, truth was he was awake when Naruto broke down but couldn't work up the strength to open his mouth "Naruto for what its worth I'm sorry, I, I didn't know what came over me".
Naruto remained silent, his head bowed as he sat up as much as his restraints let him "Its alright, I don't think I was in my right state of mind either, his right hand twiched as if it needed to hold something, the image of an incredibly long blade passed his limited vison.
'No something like that will only hurt people' resolving himself Naruto still couldn't get rid of the feeling of holding the blade in his hand.

End Chapter.
Authors notes- Hmm so what do you think Its something I thought up and couldn't get it out of my head until it was writen up, honest oppinions in your reviews as long as they are candy coated words of praise ku.
On a side note I like writing fight scenes but abore writing all this mushy stuff and dialogue, same with training scenes they're just so damn annoying to write Hmm.
Characters-
Naruto- Naruto is a fun loving blond with three faded whisker marks adorning his face, despite his inteligance he tends to goof off or has trouble comprehending complex concepts, simple in his nature he tries to constantly see the bright side of life.
during his fight with Kori Naruto lost his left eye and arm, his depth perception is limited and he has trouble working with his artifical arm which is designed from a pupeteer's kugetsu or battle doll, Naruto's right eye holds a powerful ability that little is known about.
What is known about his eye is that when activated loss of self-conscience is exhibited, Naruto is cappable of feats of strength and mimicry similar to the Sharingan, it differs from the sharingan in that it can offer a limited form of future sight.
Naruto preferes bright colours and clothing simple in design, being poor he tends to ration out his money and repair what gets damage and salvage things that most wouldn't spend their time on.
Kori- Kori is an older then average acadamy student that like some has trouble with some of the lessons set out by the acadamy, his feelings of ineptitude turned into anger when a person that was weaker then him managed to make progress in leaps and bounds where he had to struggle to keep up.
Acting in a rage Kori attacked Naruto in their sparing match with intent to kill, his style a form of gentle fist that causes damage to the internal organs by pushing unmolded chakra through his body into both a solid blow such as the knee to the stomach and the second hit of the chakra into his organs and out his back.
Beaten with a single attack from Naruto after he punctures his left eye with his finger Kori feels a deep sense of remorse claiming "he didn't know what came over him".
Kori likes to wear his training clothing as he has just as much energy as Naruto and trains when he has nothing else to do.
objects of intrest-
-scuff sandals- Sandals that don't have and heel or ankle, made of the sole and held on the foot by a strap between the start of the toes and the begining of the ankle, typically worn by martial artists who focus on control and agility.
-Gi- A type of clothing worn by martial artists for better movement, consists of dogi pants that allow full movement of the legs, a dogi top which can be kept closed by a belt that has a special form of tying.
Kugetsu- the kugetsu is the doll or dolls that puppeteers use in combat, some puppeteers swap their real appendiges for artifical ones that give them more control over their puppets and a useful attack or defense attribute.
one handed seals- several characters in Naruto exhibit the ability to mold chakra in one hand and in some cases without seals at all, both Haku and Zabuza showed such talent.
Chakra can be molded in one hand by chaneling the nessesary element twice and forming it in the close area of the single hand seal, obviously the more simple the technique the easier the molding.
