The Lonely Blacklight

Dark is the New Black

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Black. The color that is used with evil, the bad, the ones who are villains. But what no one knew about Black was that there is spots on records. There is no rules to judge people. There is no good or evil. There is just darkness so no ugliness will be seen by those who live in it. And that can be said for a certain boy who does.

That was also where this boy is now. In the darkness of where no one ever glaze their eyes upon for its ugliness; a dark alleyway. But there was more to this alleyway that ugly, other than the poor dirty boy with wet tears down his face, there was blood. Human blood. Staining the walls and ground like a terrible amateur paint job. Like red water seas with dried chunks of human flesh acting like islands.

And among the bloodstains, there was bodies. Human bodies that were lying around like tossed away dolls by angry children. They were no breathing and the rivers of blood from their pierced skin of deep stabs and ugly slashes won't stop. They were dead but who killed them? The answer was not to be believed; it was the boy with the blonde hair with the rain covering his dirty and blood covered body but his face was wetter with his tears of fear and regret.

It was not supposed to be this way. This boy, under the name of Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, was no supposed to be in an alleyway covered in blood and surrounded by dead bodies. He was supposed to be in his home with the Hokage, ruler and champion of this village, and his wife who are or should I now say were his parents. It lasted his whole life until a couple of days ago;

Flashback Begins!

It all began when Naruto was simply four, he was told that he was going to be a big brother. And the little boy couldn't be a happier ball of energy throughput the house. He was given the sugarcoated version on how babies are born; the story he was told was that there was some magical land where no one can ever find where babies are created and sent to parents to grow in the mother's stomachs. It worked and Naruto will spend his time off school to do the yard and house work in order to make the nine months of carrying his siblings more suitable and comfortable for his mother. She will always complain and throw a fit at irregular times; she will even lose her appetite or eat a mountain of food. His parents always told him that the half of that food was for Kushina, his mother and the other half was for the baby to eat.

Still the four year old will also make it his hobby of talking to his siblings via Kushina's expanded stomach, hoping they will hear him and at least send him a sign that they did. Kushina and her husband Minato will just giggle and chuckle at the sight; the fact that Naruto was their son had made them proud to be his parents. Little than any of them knew was that when the twins were born; all of that love and trust will be put on ice, on thing wire and placed to the ultimate test that will last for years.

You see, Kushina is no ordinary woman and for a negative way when it came to child birth. She was human container of a being that was born and existed purely of energy that bounded together in solid form of an animal by a conscious. Even animal hybrids were made to sustain all that energy that was called Chakra; made from combining physical energy from exercise and strength with mental energy from maturity and skills. With this energy, this beings are giant in size compared to humans and as a result their strength and durability are beyond comparison; they will make quite the fierce beasts to be trifled with. It is a sad fact that their creator had pulled into existence to find love and bonds but these poor creatures only found persuasion, fear and greed for their immense power; they were seen as monster or otherwise tools for war or be fought over in wars.

As for how humans can use this energy, they were made Shinobi and this mystic art was called Ninjutsu. With all this energy, one can strength their bodies, preform superhuman feats, control the elements, defy the laws of nature and summon giant creatures of their own to their aid. These powers were the tip of the iceberg for great Ninjutsu users that were sorted out by rank from students all the way to experienced ninja and being Hokage. The Hokage is a very important role in any of the Shinobi Village; they are the strongest ninjas and therefore, should spread their skill and wisdom to the next generation of Shinobi.

But back to the subject, Kushina was the container of one of these beings were long called the Biju; more specifically the strongest of them all, the Kyubi. Only someone with Uzumaki blood like Kushina can hold that immense power that was acidic to anyone else who tried to contain the Kyubi. Uzumaki's were known for having more chakra than anyone bloodline as well as their endurance, durability and longevity; it will take a hundred years for an Uzumaki to just past their prime.

Yet a female container or Jinchuriki is at their most dangerous stage at childbirth, when the seal that held the Kyubi at bay is at its weakest. The Biju, upon being sealed, will take any chance of escaping their host and roam free. And this time was something protocol and they hoped to be as good as when Naruto was born; they were wrong, so wrong.

Since even leaking Kyubi energy was deadly to humans, Kushina had to give birth in a remote location heavy guarded. The previous Hokage and his wife along with a seal mistress were there to make sure nothing bad happens. What did happen was something they never counted on; an intruder had slain the guards and made his way to where the twins were; to kidnap them and free the Kyubi for himself.

It all happened in a split instant and Minato had to save the twins and his wife who just barely survived extraction which will kill even a fellow Uzumaki. Minato also defeated the masked man who can phase through things to not get harmed like a ghost. It took a split second to even land a direct hit on this mysterious man who never revealed his face that day. Minato had one thing left to do, reseal the Kyubi so it can't be controlled by the cursed eyes that the masked man had used to make the Kyubi attack Konoha while Minato saved his family. Naruto was told to stay behind for his own safety, it took both Minato's and Kushina's own students to keep him at the compound.

Meanwhile at the sealing location, it would seem that resealing the Kyubi into Kushina will burn off any remaining energy she had left; she will die and the Kyubi will be released anyway. So they tried a last resort, they took the twins and sealed the Kyubi which was split in half in order to fit into the children. The previous Hokage, an old but powerful man who was known as both the Professor of Shinobi and the God of Shinobi; Hiruzen Sarutobi. It was their efforts that the sealing was a success and no one died else died that day.

Naruto was not told why he could be there when his younger siblings were born but at least he was allowed to see them. The twins consisted of a boy and a girl, Ken and Kasa respectably. They were adorable and was as innocent as any newborn child. They loved their older brother but for some reason, after that first moment together, Naruto was not allowed to even be near them. That was when it all started to end it all.

Naruto was promised to be trained once he entered the academy but it was all about the twins that got the parents attention. They were not allowed to play together, to take naps together, or even make a drawing together. Basically, Minato and Kushina are keeping their first born son away from the twins; and the worst part was that none of the children knew about it. Whenever the twins so much as cry for Naruto, they were silenced with milk and a Jutsu that can place even an upset baby to sleep; it was like Naruto was slowly not being their older brother, they probably want the twins to hate Naruto. That was terrible and was only the beginning.

Naruto still tried to be with his siblings while rising through the ranks of the academy, leaving at age six and becoming a middle class Shinobi starting at age eight. Naruto was a real prodigy that matched even the likes of Itachi Uchiha whose achievements were all the same. He was going to try out the Jonin exams by either ten or eleven but before that happened; the worst day of Naruto's life finally arrived.

It was the fifth birthday of the twins and everyone in the village gave gifts to them. Naruto also gave them gifts; a drawing to Ken of them playing in the garden they loved second to their brother and parents and a necklace to Kasa with a group picture of their family before they were born. They loved the gifts but what came next will shatter all their hearts, the parents had stolen something that rightfully belonged to Naruto, to the twins. They were labeled as the true hers to the Namikaze Clan, something that only the first born is granted!

Naruto couldn't believe it; his parents never even looked at him while taking care of the twins. They didn't even know that he was a rising prodigy, something that clans will go to dirty lengths even to make as an heir to the clan. The twins were also shocked they were lectured on how clan affairs worked and this was something that their textbooks never allowed. They protested but then their necks started to glow red with lightning of the same color around them; When Naruto tried to see if they were okay, the twins pulled a 180 and started to get aggressive towards their older brother. They called him a disgrace that should never had belonged in the clan, that is why he was cast out of the clan and losing his rights as heir. This drove Naruto to tears and he ran away while everyone tried to settle the twins with the rest of the presents.

When Naruto was just leaving the compound after packing his stuff, he made one last horrific discovery in one of the trash cans. There, on the top of the rest of the rubbish, was his presents to the Twins! Teared, broken and trashed beyond repair, they still were as broken as Naruto's heart as he started at the drawing that he worked so hard on and the necklace he spent a year's allowance was rejected and threw away like empty soup cans. He never noticed that he had some kind of darkness creeping around his body and over taking it in a strange black glow until he kicked the trash bin, spilling the rubbish inside, and ran away from the compound and into the dark of the night; he left everything that he finally snapped and rejected him after all these years.

It hadn't even started to the rain by the time that Naruto reached an alleyway to rest after a week of helping others but refusing their offers to sleep in their beds or eat their food; he didn't want them to be found out to be with the disgrace of the Namikaze clan. He just stopped, let his back down on the ground and tried to sort that bad day out until he heard voices and felt like some strong arms were tearing him apart! They stole his backpack filled with all his stuff and he got a better look at them who were trying to take the cotton out of a girl's doll. They were some of the Jonin who were there when he was made Genin and then Chunin; they always looked at him with not so friendly looks but Naruto never found out why.

But the real heartbreaker was that there was some bandits with the Jonin and they were working like partners in crime! They were then taking all of Naruto's stuff and trashing it around with their feet and tearing it apart with their hands. They were also laughing at Naruto and taunting him about being a weak disgrace to the all-powerful Namikaze clan which was caused the boy to shake like a teapot about to explode; and that is exactly what happened next.

The black substance from at the compound had returned again and took form of a monster that moved Naruto's limbs like a puppets, the monster tore the bandits and traitors apart, arm by arm and leg by leg. Until there was nothing left by dead and emulated bodies and a boy covered in blood and tears, staining his blonde hair and blue eyes respectably. It was a sad sight and it was all part of a really bad dad for the poor boy. It was a wonder that he never went insane; more mature than Naruto went insane from such a day but then again, they have lost their innocence by that time, the one thing that can successfully combat insanity. And that is the story of Naruto's bad day and how his life with the Namikaze clan came to an end, for now.

Flashback Ends!

And now you know everything, what will Naruto do? "EEK!" Naruto's musing was shattered when he heard a scream in the air that diverted everyone's attention the dead bodies that made the rot with their strength of wet flesh. It was the few civilians that have better reasons for being out in the cold rain than this boy is and those reasons never include blood.

The civilians thought that someone had killed all these people and forced poor little Naruto to watch, leaving him to die in the downpour. You see? One half of the population hated the young Naruto because they only saw a disgrace in the boy's presence but the other half always welcomed him; at least Naruto never made them sad, feel inferior, feel worthless because they weren't ninjas. Instead they found a little and energetic ball of sunshine in the blonde who played their children, helped out with their chores and kept them company when any of them became sick.

But now, as they tried to aid young Naruto, the blonde sneaked through the crowds that tried to get in a closer look at the carnage. Naruto then realized that he had yet brought out his pack; he had been playing to run away so he asked the friendly part of the population to teach him how to sew clothing. That backpack that had strong fibers and over ten pockets was his final exam and he passed it with flying colors.

He also remembered that he had stolen some of the food owned by those mobsters and felled his backpack under a hood while the civilians were busy. They never even see him make a run for the nearest exit which happened to have two guards missing. Meanwhile, two of the ANBU or the best ninja force in any ninja village came to settle the crowds who noticed that the blonde kid wasn't around. They searched endlessly for Naruto until one of them came across a note from the boy. It told them that they welcoming his presence was the best thing that happened to Naruto. That they had made his life much better than when he was with the Namikaze Clan. The letter explained all of it in great detail even for a nine year old boy and it drove all of those who listened to tears.

From that moment on, all those who red or listened to the words of the boy who wrote that note never smiled and looked at the Hokage in awe and amazement anymore. They saw the clan as nothing but child abusers that neglect their real treasure child in order to maintain status and power. The worst part was that the Shinobi who sided with Minato were just as ignorant as the civilians had made them from hearing Naruto's view on them. The evidence was so overwhelming that they could barely sleep at night; what is to become of this once great village?

Looking back on the village, Naruto was sad to have to leave it and all his many friends behind but the blond promised this. "I will return everyone. I will come back and a much stronger person than ever before. I will be strong enough to be there whenever you need me." Those were the words of a nine year old boy who saw just how the darker side to humanity is like.

Meanwhile, in the conference room within the Hokage Tower, a meeting was taking place. The topic: the massacre of high level ninja and the fact that bandits had entered the village and the worse part was that there was evidence that proved they had been living ibn the village for almost half a year. How did they get killed and how did the bandits enter the village only to remain unfound until they were murdered?

"I knew it!" A council member was especially not happy with want had happened, "I told you all that our security is getting sloppy and blind! Your pride was the one thing that my words couldn't break!" She was the one who noticed that eh gate guards and the other methods of security was not doing their jobs to her standards. Everyone who listened to her ranting just thought she was only complaining and wanted a conspiracy. As a result, she was laughed at and even got only peanuts for a paycheck…she is tilling waiting for her next one. Naruto was the only one that brighten up her mood by sticking to her words like glue; he even pranked the gate guards so easily, it supported her claims. She couldn't be happier that a boy wanted to help her.

"Fine, fine. You were right. But how long are you going to keep at it until we get back to what is important? The Hokage's first son got kidnapped within the village but someone had rescued him only to leave him for dead!" This council member wasn't exactly taking this humiliation very well and will do anything to get on the Hokage's good side in order to get a raise and more praise for his colleagues on his 'achievement'.

"SILENCE!" Now it was Minato in question that got impatient. His roaring voice had settled down the atmosphere. "I will admit that the pranks from Naruto had set us on the edge but it seemed that it was a little too late as people had still died within my walls. We need to find out how the bandits got in and who killed three of my Jonin." (If he is going to blame Naruto, I will drag myself in there and bash him on the head! )

"Maybe Naruto knew this will happen but we never did listen to him." Kushina said unaware that her words were more right than she spoke of in her tone. Everyone nodded, those pranks were ninja definition and in times of peace, most ninjas just laze around getting fat and sloppy by the time the next time for ninja skills to be need. Naruto was pretty much what they need to prevent that from happening; if only they knew that before making Naruto feel unappreciated for his efforts.

"But now Naruto is gone, ten people including our own forces are dead what are we supposed to do about it. Now the civilians won't even treat us into their restaurant. They loved that brat too much for our sakes." It was unfortunate that even though Naruto worked hard, they were some people that lived in the village who just won't even give the time for Naruto to make a better impression on them; their pride was too much for this poor nine year old boy. This room was like a war of words between half of the village who wanted the little ball of energy and happiness back and the other half how want to rid their village of the disgrace they see Naruto as.

As the village debated on to deal with this development, Naruto was still running. Running through the rain, though the mud, through it all. He ignored his soaked body and clothes, the mud that dug deep into his skin. But then there was something else. Something that had caused a boy like Naruto spot in his tracks cold.

From the dark forest around him, from the cold ground, and from the black and cloudy sky they came. Monsters with teeth, with claws, with wings, with eyes of red settled on their prey. Naruto was a piece of walking and breathing piece of meat that had walked right into where their territory meet at the crosswalk. Naruto just closed his eyes as they charged for a taste of his flesh; when he wasn't looking the darkness, the black light had emerged once again. This time to protect its master for real this time and when the nightmare after the last is over, Naruto will never curse at this loyal and serving black force.

End of Chapter 1.
