Tell me. Do you know the legend of Sparda?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto woke with a start, he had soaked his sheets with his own sweat… again. That was the fifteenth time he had a dreamless sleep when that voice popped into his head right before he woke up, and what was even worse was it all happened night after night.
It was getting on his nerves.
Naruto sighed as he got out of bed and collected his sheets and threw them in his washing machine, he then went to his closet and got out his usual outfit.
His outfit consisted of black leather pants that hugged his legs showing off how well toned they were, black combat boots, no shirt, and a red jean trench coat that was parted in the middle having only a strap, made of the same material as the rest of his trench coat that could connect to the other side with a buckle, a pendant that hung freely from his neck that had a large red jewel in the center. (think Dante from DMC 3
And finally a sword that was a large double bladed sword that was as long as he was tall on his back that had the top half of an evil skeleton for the guard with what looked like bones attached to the rib cage that showed there and on top of the skull were two devil like horns.(think Rebellion before it awakens in DMC 3)
He then walked into the bathroom and looked at his reflection. He was a twelve year old boy with a body that looked slightly older than that, he had angular face, red eyes and silver hair.(Dante's face from DMC 3)
But only he could see it, and only on a reflective surface, as could another person, whom he liked to call his brother, but without a mirror, and the same could be said vice-versa.
Naruto sighed again, as for why in everyone else's eye he looked like a blonde hair, tanned, whisker marked midget, he had no idea
Nor did he have any idea of how he was the only one who could see how his 'brother' really looked, and the same could be said for his 'brother'.
'Man this is all just so confusing!', Naruto thought, the reasons for the dreams he and his brother had and why they looked the way they did to each other and how they could only see their real selves in the mirror, completely confused them both.
"Best go get brother up.", Naruto said with a tired sigh. He quickly walked into the room connected with his, and found a large lump underneath his brother's bed.
Naruto walked up to the bed, took in a deep breathe and shouted at the top of his lungs, "WAKE THE HELL UP SASUKE!!!"
The lump in the bed instantly gave off a frightened shout and jumped so high it hit the ceiling with an audible 'thud' and did the same thing as it fell on the hard wood floor.
Naruto then grabbed a corner of a sheet that was sticking out of the withering lump of sheets, what they were holding obviously trying to find a way out, and pulled, sending its containments spinning horizontally to the floor with a small 'thud'.
"Naruto!", Sasuke said with distain, from having been woken up from a wonderful dream.
Sasuke looked like a twelve year old boy of average height, coal black eyes, and black hair that seemed to defy gravity in the shape of a ducks ass.
But this was to everyone except them.
What they saw was a twelve year old boy with the same body and build that Naruto had, cold blue eyes, and silver hair that was slicked back to keep it out of his eyes unlike Naruto's who liked to have it hang down.(think Virgil from DMC 3)
"I will so kill you for that.", Sasuke said glaring at his 'brother'.
"I'd love to see you try.", Naruto taunted.
Then in an instant Sasuke, in only a pair of boxers, shot up to try and slug Naruto in the face, but Naruto caught his fist, and flipped him over onto the floor with his back to him, and sat on his back with his foot on his 'brother's' head.
"Jackass.", Sasuke muttered, they had come up with insulting nicknames for each other.
It was:
Sasuke=Bastard
Naruto=Jackass
And that was all there was to it.
"Get dressed Bastard, we got to be at the academy in fifteen minuets.", Naruto said in slightly scolding manner, as he got off of the boy's head.
"Yeah, yeah.", Sasuke mumbled as he got up.
Naruto left to give Sasuke his privacy. It took Sasuke all of two minuets to change.
He came out wearing a blue high collard trench coat with markings on the front right side of it snaking up to go behind the collar to down a little on the left side by the shoulder and lined with orange on the inside, a dark blue vest like thing(don't know how to describe it) underneath, bluish black pants with brown boots over them ending at the knees, and brown fingerless gloves and a pendant the exact same as Naruto's hung from his neck.(Vergil's look from DMC 3)
He was also carrying katana with a black sheath with two yellow ribbons hanging off it, a golden guard, and white hilt, in his left hand.(Yamato the devil arm)
Sasuke had been Naruto's surrogate brother from the day after the Uchiha Massacre, they had been practically inseparable since then, and would lay their life down for the other, despite the way they acted towards each other.
But then his and Naruto's favorite smell hit his nostrils.
'Pizza!', he thought hungrily, neither he nor Naruto could resist the smell and taste of pizza.
Sasuke immediately rushed into the kitchen the see a large pizza with anchovies, pepperoni, cheese, and just about everything else you could throw on a pizza on the table with two of its eleven slices missing.
Sasuke took a seat across from his 'brother' and started in-hailing the pizza as fast as his brother was, and after five minuets all but one slice was gone… which meant trouble, they both always want the last slice of pizza when there's an odd number of slices, and when they fight over it, its usually… messy, and that's like saying a new born can kill of an entire town by simply blinking.(well it probably can do that if it's the child of Kami or that bastard Mundus but you all know what I mean)
)three minuets later(
"HA HA I win Bastard!", Naruto shouted as he stood triumphantly with one foot on Sasuke's moaning body chewing happily on the last slice of pizza in the now practically turned upside down apartment.
"Son of…", Sasuke said as he tried to get Naruto's foot off of him, but then he spied the clock on the wall and paled slightly.
"OI JACKASS!", Sasuke shouted getting his brother's attention , "We only got five minuets left to get to the Academy for the exam!"
Naruto paled slightly and literally ate, what was left of the slice of pizza in his hand, in one bite and ran out the door with Sasuke right behind him.
)Academy(four minuets and fifty nine seconds later)(
Naruto and Sasuke came running through the door to the classroom and took their seats with, literally, only a second to spare as their teacher Iruka, came in and announced that the genin exams would be today and what it was over.
Weapons, stealth, taijutsu, genjutsu, and finally ninjutsu. Naruto and Sasuke were just praying that the ninjutsu portion wouldn't be over the clone jutsu, neither of them could get it right, no matter what they did.
They all went out side for the weapons portion of the test Naruto and Sasuke both got through with flying colors, in the stealth portion Naruto got a perfect score with Sasuke only a few points behind, taijutsu they both wound up fighting a pair of no name genin hopefuls and won.
The genjutsu portion well… Naruto failed and Sasuke barely passed, what can they say they suck at illusions.
They then went back inside for the ninjutsu portion of the test, Sasuke and Naruto praying to Kami that it wasn't over the clone jutsu, but their hopes were crushed when Iruka said it would be over the clone jutsu, apparently Kami didn't like them…
)outside the academy (after the exam)(
Naruto and Sasuke were sitting by the large tree with the wood swing sulking in the fetal position, neither of them had passed, Sasuke was only able to make two clones but they were pathetic, they looked like a badly drawn half-dead versions of himself, Naruto faced the same problem but he was only able to make one.
They both sighed as they sulked more, the glares they were receiving weren't helping much either, for some reason all the adults in the village, other than the Ichirakus, Iruka, and the Hokage hated them for what seemed to be simply for living.
Why did they hate them so much?
While they were pondering this they both noticed Mizuki coming up behind him.
"Hey guys.", Mizuki said cheerily, as if there wasn't a problem with the world.
Naruto and Sasuke could tell that Mizuki was up to something, but they didn't know what.
"I just thought you guys ought to know that there's an alternate way of passing, that's only given to the very best of the students.", Mizuki said, knowing that they'd go for it.
Both Naruto and Sasuke's eyes lit up, there was another way of passing?
"What do we have to do?", they said at the same time.
Mizuki grinned inwardly.
)Forest(abandoned shack: night)(
Naruto and Sasuke were sitting on the ground looking through the Scroll of Sealing, writing down everything in it on a scroll just as large, after they learned the first jutsu on the scroll: the Shadow Clone Jutsu, it was so easy to get the scroll it was pathetic, so either the security was lax or they were just that good, the latter thought made them full of pride that they were able to get a big important looking scroll from the Hokage's tower without being noticed even in the slightest, and they were on the last thing in the scroll, a blood seal that read: 'SPARDA'.
Naruto and Sasuke's eye both widened. This 'Sparda' was the name they kept hearing in their dreams.
Naruto unconsciously bit his thumb and wiped his blood on the seal and in a large poof of smoke two scrolls, slightly smaller than the Scroll of Sealing, appeared one was red while the other was blue, they both had kanji on them, the red one's read 'Naruto' and the Blue one's read 'Sasuke'.
Naruto and Sasuke's eyes widened further, there were scrolls in here addressed to them! Why would anyone give them anything? Especially something as large as these scrolls.
"There you two are!", a voice came from behind them.
They both turned to see Iruka with an annoyed look on his face.
"It's all over.", he said with a small cackle at the end.
"Hand over the scroll.", he demanded, which much to his utter surprise, they did, without any complaint at all.
"Uhhh, so no kind of complaint?", Iruka asked, he got a nod from both boys.
"No, kind of prank, this is the real thing?", as he looked at the scroll in his hands warily.
They nodded again.
"Wow.", Iruka said stunned, he wasn't expecting them to just hand it over with that level of ease.
"We were going to give it back, once we were done.", Sasuke said blankly.
"Yeah, we were only going to use it to pass the alternate exam.", Naruto said.
"Wait, what alternate exam, there is none", Iruka said, wondering where they had heard that from.
"There isn't?", Naruto asked, "But that's what Mizuki-sensei told us, all we had to do was learn a jutsu from the scroll and we pass."
Iruka paled, Mizuki was the one who set this up? Not good.
But just then Naruto's eyes widened, as he saw + a small swarm of kunai heading for Iruka's unprotected back.
He was behind his sensei in an instant, spinning his sword in front of him in a circular motion effectively keeping them from hitting him or his sensei.
They all then saw who had thrown the kunai standing on a tree branch.
Mizuki.
"Heh not bad demon brat.", Mizuki said with a sneer.
'Joy, even my own sensei thinks I'm a demon.', Naruto thought with sarcasm as he stopped spinning his blade and put over his back all the while he glared at the silver haired chunin.
"Tell me now Naruto, Sasuke, do you two want to know why the whole village hates you?", Mizuki suddenly asked with an evil grin on his face.
"We would.", Sasuke said, and just as Mizuki was about to speak he was interrupted by Naruto.
"But we're pretty sure that the reason for it is in those scrolls over there.", he said nodding his head behind him to the large scrolls behind Sasuke and Iruka.
"I don't know where you got those other scrolls, but it doesn't matter once I kill you all I'll just take them for myself.", Mizuki said sinisterly.
"We'd love to see you try.", Sasuke taunted as he appeared behind Mizuki a click coming from him just then re-sheathing his sword.
"Wha-!", Mizuki yelled just before his arms fell from his body, causing him to howl in pain.
Iruka was stunned. Here was someone who had failed the genin exam, yet they had just hacked off a chunin's arms, and he didn't even see it happen!
He looked at Naruto to see his reaction, and was surprised to see him staring at Mizuki with non-caring eyes.
"You were a little slow brother.", Naruto said, thoroughly shocking Iruka.
That was slow?! He didn't even see it, yet Naruto had said it was slow! Wait did that mean he saw what happened? How could he have, he wasn't even out of the Academy yet!
But after Iruka got over his shock he noticed Naruto wasn't there. He looked around till he heard Naruto shout, "Look up!", and everyone looked up to see Naruto coming down on Mizuki with his large sword in his hands.
Sasuke jumped out of the way to avoid getting hit by his 'brother', but Mizuki was unable to have that luxury as he was cut in half down the middle by Naruto's blade.
Iruka was shocked, here were two academy students that had just taken down a chunin, that would've made jonin if it weren't for some mental issues, from the Kyuubi attack.
"Well that was pathetic.", he heard Sasuke say from behind him, and again he was shocked that he, once again, couldn't see his movements.
"No kidding!", Naruto said as he dropped down from the tree branch landing in front of the two and walking past them to pick up the scroll with his name and the scroll were they wrote all the jutsu down from the Scroll of Sealing and Sasuke picked up his own scroll and the two started to walk off back home.
"Hey, wait you two!", Iruka shouted after them, the two turned around with confused looks on their faces.
"Yes?", Sasuke asked.
"I want you two to come with me to the Hokage tower with me, to help me with the mission report, you were involved in this too.", he said looking at the two with the faintest hint of a smile on his face.
"Alright.", Naruto said, "But first can we go drop these off at our apartment?"
Iruka nodded, and then the two twelve year olds suddenly disappeared… again, making Iruka's ever so small smile fall from his.
'HOW DO THEY DO THAT?!', Iruka thought in agony.
But a few seconds later they reappeared.
"Alright, lets go.", Naruto said with a grin, making Iruka's eyebrow twitch and having him continue to wonder how in the world they were able to move so fast.
Although quickly recovering, he nodded, and led them off to the Hokage tower, with the scroll slung on one shoulder.
)Hokage Tower(a few minuets later)(
Iruka, Naruto, and Sasuke reached the Hokage tower in a few minuets and they gave the mission report to the Sandaime, who afterwards, said he had seen everything through his crystal ball.
And that kind of pissed off Naruto and Sasuke, that they had to give a report on something that the old man already knew of.
But instantly perked by them hearing what came out of the old man's mouth next.
"This was in fact a B-rank mission and because you participated in it, you will be paid accordingly.", the old man said, making Naruto and Sasuke give off large grins.
"Also I think from what has happened I believe you two are perfectly qualified to become shinobi of Konoha.", the Sandaime said, as he pulled out to Konoha headbands, making Naruto and Sasuke's jaws hit the ground before they both started grinning like mad men.
"Alright!', Naruto said as he went forward to pick up one of the headbands on the table Sasuke right behind him smirking as they both tied there headbands onto their right biceps.
"Go to the Academy tomorrow at eight, to receive your team assignments.", the Hokage told them.
Naruto and Sasuke nodded at the Hokage.
"Alright, dismissed.", the aged ninja said.
They all gave a 'Hai' and left to go back to their homes.
)With Naruto and Sasuke(
"Hey Sasuke?", Naruto asked, as he and Sasuke walked home, getting a small grunt from the boy in acknowledgment, "Since it's so late lets open up the scrolls tomorrow, after we find out our teams, alright?"
"Fine by me.", Sasuke said not really caring, he could wait another day to open those two scrolls they got from the Scroll of Sealing.
