Shinigami of the Four Horsemen Prologue

AN: Alright another story! Just so you guys know, I have decided to take one of my oldest stories off hiatus today and I will be getting back to it at some point. But for right now I'm at least going to take a start at a challenge set by Noctus of the Thousand Blades, which is a multi-crossover with Naruto, Bleach and Darksiders. Just so you know this is going to be an eventual God!Naruto story and will also be Naruto x Fem!Ichigo. No harem of any sort. Alright on with the story!

Karakura Town was a very quaint little place in one of the more outer regions of Japan. The moon and stars, shun brightly in the clear night sky as people bustled about their business on this beautiful Saturday night. However, a certain orange 7-year-old girl and her mother, their lives were about to change and it would be thanks to a young blonde haired boy…

Ichigo Kurisaki and her mother Masaki Kurosaki, walked in a serene silence through Karakura park. The street lamps and the moon illuminated their path through the park as both women had small smiles on their faces. After several minutes of walking, Ichigo looked up at the sky saw the moon shining down on her somewhat more brightly and Ichigo couldn't help but feel a very special connection to the moon. She just didn't know how right she was at the time. Masaki turned around and noticed her daughter looking up at the moon and smiled softly. She approached her eldest daughter and placed her hands on the girl's shoulder making her smile up at Masaki and the two just stood there silently. However, the wind suddenly began to pick up blowing across the treeks and even churning the water slightly, startling Masaki and Ichigo. However, before they could react they noticed a light coming from down the path. It started small at first before it began to grow in size until it was a large glowing blue and white portal as tall as Masaki. The woman in question immediately lifted her right arm up, and her veins seemed to glow with a strange blue energy before a large, blue glowing crossbow appeared, much to the shock of her daughter.

Masaki glared sternly at the portal as a small shape began to appear, around the same size as Ichigo. Masaki's eyes narrowed as she waited for the being to step forward. However when he did step through the portal the shock of what Masaki and Ichigo saw caused Masaki to lose concentration at the sight of the child before her. It was a young boy the same age as Ichigo with tan skin, and short, spiky, golden blonde hair and sapphire blue eyes with strange whisker like scars in a set of three on each side of his face, he wore tattered white shirt with a black swirl on it, black shirts and sandles. But what really drew their attention was the amount of blood the boy was covered in and the horrific injuries that covered his body. Before either woman could react, he stepped through the portal and tipped forward as he began to pass out from blood loss. Masaki was already blurring forward and instantly caught the boy in her arms, ignoring the fact that blood was now covering her clothes. The strange portal closed and Masaki turned to her daughter who was already running towards them. "Mom, we gotta get him to the hospital"! Ichigo yelled as tears began to fall from her eyes. Masaki nodded and the two sped down the path and towards their home.

Ishiin Kurosaki sighed heavily as he walked out of the clinic room and into the tv room where he saw his two youngest daughters; Yuzu and Karin sitting there watching TV. He smiled slightly at the relaxed expressions before the front door burst open revealing both his wife Masaki and his eldest daughter Ichigo. But what really caught his attention as the heavily bleeding boy in her arms. Ishiin instantly shifted into doctor mode and turned on the light to the clinic room. "Masaki, get the boy into the intensive care unit, while I call some of my old assets at the hospital, we'll need all the help we can get"! Ishiin exclaimed as he started making several calls. Within ten minutes several cars appeared as a few doctors poured into the house. "Good God! The kid has five, broke ribs, fractured bone for both his arms and legs, massive internal bleeding and he's already suffered from massive blood loss! We need a blood transfer in here now"! Ishiin roared. Ichigo looked up from her spot in between her two sisters and rushed into the room. "I'll do it"! Ichigo instantly volunteered much to her parents' shock.

"Ichigo don't be ridiculous you can't-"! "No, dad I have to! I want to do this! Let me do it"! She exclaimed stubbornly. Ishiin looked to his wife for help but Masaki only nodded. Seeing he was outvoted Ishiin nodded and hooked Ichigo up to the transfer machine then hooked up the blonde boy and began the transfer.

Several hours passed since the boy's treatment and blood transfer and he was mostly treated but he would take several months to heal. Ichigo watched over the boy along with Masaki. Ishiin had gone to bed along with Yuzu and Karin and so the clinic was wrapped in silence. The two women said nothing for while before they heard a low groan from the boy much to their shock. He groaned again and opened his eyes before he settled on the two women in front of him.

"Wh-what"… The boy groaned before Masaki got up and placed a hand on his head. "Hush, now you're alright now. Can you tell me your name? Mine is Masaki and this is my eldest daughter Ichigo". Masaki said softly getting a nod from her daughter. Naruto looked at them for a minute before responding.

"My name…is Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki". Naruto said getting a smile from Masaki before she sat in a chair closer to the bed. "Malestrom…It suits you. Now, Naruto…can you tell me what you remember? How did you get so injured"? Masaki asked gently. Naruto blinked. No one had ever been this nice to him, with the exception of Jiji, but Naruto felt like he could easily speak to this woman. "Well you see Masaki-san…I was attacked, by the people of my village. Every day on my birthday the people of my Village Konoha would always gather and start chasing me around the village beating me within an inch of my life. Every single time on my birthday, and they always call me demon as they do. I know this because I learned that I'm a Jinchuuriki. The Jinchuuriki of the Nine-tailed fox". Masaki stared at the boy in shock. She had heard the term Jinchuuriki before during her Quincy training days and now that she heard it she con could confirm that her grandfather was not a raving Maniac.

"Naruto…if you don't mind me asking…where're your parents". Ichigo suddenly asked. Naruto looked at her before he looked away. "I don't have any…I'm an orphan, been one for most of my life". He said making Ichigo gasp. Masaki stared at the boy in shock. After a minute a soft smile appeared on her face as she leaned down on her knees. "Then…would you like to stay here? With us? Do you want to become a part of our family"? Masaki asked shocking both Naruto and Ichigo. Naruto stared at the woman before him as tears started to leak from his eyes. "…Do you truly mean that"? Naruto asked softly. Masaki smiled softly and nodded. "Of course I do, Naruto-kun". She said. Naruto looked at her before he nodded hastily. "Yeah…I would love that"…
