Prologue - Shinigami's Gift

He had been summoned. His job was done. He had sealed the great nine-tailed fox, Kyubi, into a little child, yet he had not departed. Why was he still staying, though his job was done?

He was contemplating. It would be a risk, but if the child suffered because of the fox, then he damn well deserved it, plus it would be interesting, giving a human that power.

Uzumaki Naruto… I will wait and see. When you come of age, perhaps I shall give you my gift. Until we meet again…

A five year old Naruto is laying in a dark alleyway, bones broken throughout his body. He did not understand, why did they hate him? What had he done wrong? He lay, asking why, while waiting for someone who didn't hate him.
He was staring at the kids playing on the playground, enviously. When ever he would near them the parents would give him evil looks and shoo him away.

He got hopeful when a kid would walk toward him, but would be disappointed when they were pulled to the side by their parents.

He was staring at the ground, sitting on his favorite swing, wallowing in sadness. 'Why, Iruka-sensei? Why wouldn't you let me graduate? Deep down, do you hate me too?'
Uzumaki, I feel you are now of age, its time I let the fate of the world be decided with this decision. Now the real question, will you use this gift be good... or evil?
'All I have to do is learn a technique from this scroll, and iruka-sensei will let me graduate' was the thought repeating through his head as he tried to learn the technique.

All of a sudden, Naruto heard something hit the ground with a flop.

"What's that! Who's there!?" he got no response. "If your not coming out, then I'll come get you." He started walking in the general direction the sound originated. He kept walking, until he saw something in the grass.

It was a black book. Naruto picked up the book. It looked like any other book, but what was more intriguing was the title on the book. Naruto read the title out loud.

"Death Note"

Notes:

First off, to those who have read my other fic, it is on hold. I have gotten a very nasty case of writers block, so don't expect any updates for a while.

Now for this story, I am choc full of ideas. I have just started watching death note so I have a vague idea of what I want to do. There will still be fighting, especially for Naruto.

But now, I want to know your opinions about my idea! Please Review!
