Chapter 1- The arrival of the stranger
The sun was glaring down on the village of Konoha as a mysterious shadow suddenly cast down from the entrance gate. A person was there looking down on all who passed by and the people in turn stared at the silhouette casting the shadow. The person was rigid and unmoving except for the flow of their clothes in the wind, their face was completely covered.
When a crowd started to form the person finally spoke. "I'm looking for the 'Green Beast of Konoha'! Where is he?" the person tone was authoritative.
"What do you want?" A man shouted from the crowd. He was tall and tan with black hair in a bowl cut and big fuzzy eyebrows to match. His green jump suit clashed horribly with his orange leg warmers.
"Who are you?" the tone was questioning.
"I am Gai, the beautiful Green Beast of Konoha," He quickly did a pose and gave a sparkling smile.
"I'm not looking for you," Gai's smile quickly faltered when the person calmly continued, "I'm looking for the one who has mastered only tai jutsu, the one who can open five gates of chakra, the one they call Rock Lee."
At this Gai turned hostile as he always did when someone talked about his students and he wasn't sure if they meant only good toward them, "What do you want with my adorable student?"
"I want to fight him," the speaker said with no emotion.
"Why do you want to fight him? What's your name?" Gai demanded.
"I have no reason to tell you and I have no name so you may call me whatever you wish. I have been called 'The Child of the Demon' but I find that a rather long nickname. Take me to this Rock Lee or I'll destroy this village!" Black flames quickly flared around the person.
-flashback
In a desolate land in the middle of a cold winter night a village lay in ashes. Silence was all consuming except for the crying of a newborn babe. The child was barely half an hour old when a demon summoned by some of the town's ninjas destroyed everything and everyone in it except for the baby, leaving the child with nothing.
The baby would have died if the demon hadn't taken pity on it. Although she was a murderous spirit she had a soft spot for babies since having any of her own was impossible for the moment and probably for awhile since her mate was sealed away somewhere.
So she took the child to a demon realm suited for her life type and raised it through spirit form, teaching and training the child. The child had no ability for ninjutsu or genjutsu for reasons unknown to the demon, even though it had a massive amount of chakra but was a natural at tai jutsu. The child's chakra would erupt at odd moments from being bottled to long and causes massive damage every where, there was no way to control it.
The years passed and the child grew up never seeing another human or even the demon but always heard its voice giving instructions during training or at night for companionship. When the child was about two the demon started to teach the child academic lessons and different languages, mostly demon and animal. There was one none of the animals understood but the child didn't care.
One day the demon finally showed itself to the child who was now about six. The demon knew if the child were to stay any longer the child could never go back to the human world because the demon realm caused the child's body to alter to be able to endure like a demon and would cease to be human but become a demon living an unfulfilled life of a Halfling and the demon could not stand for that to happen her kit. She knew it would be best for the child to be near her own despite how much she hated them.
When she finally appeared the demon was the shape of a fox with white markings on her head in the shape of a circlet crown and said, "I have raised you since the day you were born and now it is time for you to leave. You have grown and I don't care for older humans. I have trained you so that you could survive amongst your own kind and in their world. I know you've never met any but when I send you to the human world you will meet them. There is no meaning in life but in order to survive you must find a path and stick to it as your meaning. I never named you so you could always remain distant from humans because to be human is to destroy for meaningless reasons that are oft selfish; to be human is to be corrupt. Demons are a part of nature and therefore we don't destroy for self benefit, we also create new life but the humans don't acknowledge this. Remember that while you're living with them. Though you were born human you are not of them, you have become more than that. You have lived in the demon realm and have gained strength of mind and body. Go out there and survive if you must but this is the last you will ever see of me."
"Thank you demon Sama, I know you do not care for me any longer but I will always be grateful to you I suppose. I will survive to show your strength as my sensei." The child looked at the demon for the first and last time with tears in their eyes. The demon inwardly smiled as she left the child in the place where its village once stood and now a new one was in its place.
The child looked at a small village that looked pretty new or what it thought a new village must look like. No one was around so no one saw when a small child ran through the village and into the forest, planning on what to do next.
From then on the child lived in the wild with the animals, training as it always had and becoming even stronger. The child lived like this for awhile in peace.
-end flashback
In an instant, faster than what Gai's eyes could follow, the person was in front of them and looked up. The only portion that was actually visible of the person's skin was a small strip between the cloth that covered the person's nose and mouth and the hat with a veil on it (picture the hokage hat). A gleam in the person's eyes that were so dark a green they looked black in that lighting, showed their seriousness.
"Where is he?" The nameless person asked with forceful tone.
"I won't tell y-"the stranger punched Gai in the stomach making him double over in pain at the unexpected punch.
"Tell me! I must fight him!" Nameless shouted.
"Why must you fight him?" a woman's voice said from behind the crowd. The voice sounded like it deserved respect and subconsciously the person understood this. The woman stepped out from behind the crowd; she had blonde hair in pig tails, a purple diamond on her forehead and serious looking amber eyes.
"To prove myself as the strongest tai jutsu user and the strongest person in the world. To be human for a little bit. I travel everywhere looking for someone who could defeat-"the person was cut off when Gai started to rush the person trying to hit them. The person swiftly took half a step to the right, gave a small kick and Gai went flying into the closest building breaking through the wall and the next four he encountered before stopping. Kicking Gai seemed to calm the person down because when they talked again it was in a calm tone. "As I was saying, I would like to test my abilities against one I've heard as the 'Green Beast' who knows only tai jutsu like myself. I will fight anyone else who wishes to try but first it must be Rock Lee. I want someone to be able to defeat me. I want to do this to prove my meaning of life."
"I see. I am the leader of this hidden leaf village, Hokage Tsunadae. I will allow this fight if Lee agrees to this but I can not allow you to threaten this village. Once you finish these fights you must promise to leave here in peace or the shinobi of this village will defeat you here and now." While they were talking ninjas surrounded them.
"As long as I get my fight I have no reason to attack. I am not a destructive person to destroy everything for no reason after I fill my bit as a human."
"Alright," Tsunadae turned away from the nameless person and said to the awaiting ninjas, "go find Lee and tell him he has someone here to see him."
The hokage was going to leave when the nameless caught her sleeve, "I would also like to fight you as well, legendary sennin." The person's voice was soft.
Tsunadae not liking to be touched quickly by anyone turned to punch the nameless person when they disappeared. A note was left in the persons place saying 'I would love to see you try and punch me again but in the arena where I would suggest Lee go so we don't destroy the village by accident while fighting. I will see Lee there tomorrow at noon so he may prepare himself tonight. I promise not to kill him or anyone else who wishes to fight me.'
Lady Tsunadae was shocked at the person's sheer speed.
Lee, a mini version of Gai, was eating lunch in the trainings fields with Tenten, Neji, Naruto and Sakura when a ninja came running up out of breath.
He looked scared and everyone at once became tense. "What's going on? Why are you so out of breath? Is there finally something to do?" Naruto said starting to look excited, his blonde hair started to bounce up and down with him and his blue eyes sparkled. It had been a boring month without much to do and he had been getting antsy.
The ninja ignored him and looked straight at Lee and said urgently, "Lee there is a mysterious person who has come to town to fight you. They say they will destroy the village if you don't and they've already knocked Gai sensei unconscious. The hokage wants to see you immediately!"
"What! Who knocked out my super awesome Gai sensei?! That bastard! I will destroy them!" Lee shouted with little fires playing in his eyes. With that he started to run to Lady Tsunadae's office with everyone following him, especially Naruto.
"Lady Tsunadae I am here! What has happened to my sensei?! Let me at that bastard who wants to fight me!" Lee wasn't even out of breath.
"Oh Lee, you're here already. It seems that stranger to the village has come and would like to fight you. I would have said you don't have to but it appears like you want to," she smiled at the tense looking Lee.
"Where is he? I will destroy him for threatening this village!" Naruto piped in.
"This person will be at the arena tomorrow at noon. Naruto you may have your chance this person as well but Lee gets to go first because that is the only way to protect this village."
"What?" Naruto shouted.
"This is not up for debate and if you will not cooperate then you won't get to fight at all!"
Naruto grumbled angrily to himself as Lee started to shout outraged, "What? I can't fight them now?"
"Lee get a hold of yourself, this is more than getting revenge for Gai! This person is extremely fast and said they only do Tai jutsu like you. This person has no name but said they have been called 'Scourge of the Earth'. I looked up any reference to this and it seems they've never been defeated. Not much is known about this person, not even its gender. We don't know anything else so while you're fighting try to question them. It seems like they have some respect for you so they may answer your questions. Do you understand this situation?"
"Yes, Tsunadae sama!" Lee stood up straighter and continued, "I will do my best."
Later, after Lee checked up on Gai sensei at the hospital (he was still unconscious) when it was just Naruto and Lee, Naruto said seriously, "Lee, don't go easy on this person but leave them well enough so that I can fight them, okay?"
"Sorry Naruto I can't promise that, this person hurt my super awesome sensei and must be punished to the full extent of my power."
