Naruto awoke with a scream "W-where am I? Why can't I see anything?!" Naruto yelled panicked as he fiddled with his bandages
"You are in the hospital Naruto, you were attacked and blinded." Sarutobi said
Naruto stayed silent as he recalled the events and a scowl appeared on his face "Yes...I remember" he replied in a cold tone that made Sarutobi flinch
"Well Naruto, do you remember who did this to you?" Sarutobi asked
Naruto remembered who did it, but he wasn't going to tell Sarutobi, he wanted vengeance struck by him, and him alone "No, oji-san (grandfather) I don't" he replied in the same cold tone
"Okay Naruto, you're going to need to stay in the hospital for a few more days for your eyes to heal" Sarutobi said which got a curious look from Naruto
"What do you mean oji-san?" Naruto asked in his once again innocent voice
"I'll reveal that later Naruto, for now get some rest" Sarutobi said in a soothing voice
"Hai" Naruto responded as his voice turned cold again, he climbed under the sheets and just lied there
Sarutobi had a look of sadness before leaving the room, leaving Naruto to just lay there
The Next Day
Sakura and Ino were walking down the street when they heard some bystanders talking
"Hey did you hear that demon got sent to the hospital" one of the bystanders said
"Yeah, I believe his name was Naruto" the other bystander said
Sakura and Ino's eyes widened 'Naruto's been injured!?' they thought as they rushed to the hospital
"Excuse me miss, what room is Naruto Uzumaki in?" Sakura asked the admin office lady.
The nurse scoffed in disgust "Why would you want to see that rotten demon" she said, which angered Sakura and Ino, but what she said next sent chills down their spines "I'm glad those guys blinded him"
"BLINDED!?" the two screamed, frightened beyond all belief, they ran through the hospital looking for Naruto's room
"Hey Sakura I found it!" Ino shouted as she called to her friend down the hall
"Okay!" she shouted back as she ran down the hall, she started to run faster when she heard Ino gasp in horror
"Whats wrong Ino?" Sakura asked, but quickly realized what she was gasping at when she looked into Naruto's room.
"I-is that Naruto?" Ino asked with fear evident in her voice.
Sakura didn't answer, she was so shocked the "number one hyperactive knuckleheaded ninja" was in a state like this.
"Should we say hi?" Ino asked
"S-sure" Sakura answered as she calmed down a bit, slowly but surely they opened the door and as they did, a fierce classical song filled their ears.
"Hey Naruto! Could you turn that music off!?" Ino yelled at the other blond, Naruto responded by grabbing the volume crank and turned it to the left, effectively muting the song "Who's there?" he asked
"It's Sakura and Ino, what were you just listening to Naruto?" Sakura asked the boy
"The name of the song was Lux Aeterna" Naruto responded
"What?" the girls asked
Naruto chuckled "It's Latin for "the eternal light" Naruto explained
"Wow, Naruto, I never knew you were interested in that kind of stuff!" Ino said surprised which brought a scowl upon Naruto's face
"Well when you fawn over the Uchiha bastard so much you tend to miss a lot of things" Naruto coldly remarked
"N-Naruto! Why would you say something like that!?" Sakura shouted to Naruto while in a state of shock, this was not the Naruto she knew.
"Well when you survive getting your eyes sliced out, you tend not to fear speaking your thoughts anymore" Naruto coldly stated
"We mean why did you patronize Sasuke-kun!" Ino shouted
"BECAUSE THAT BASTARD HAS GOTTEN EVERYTHING HE HAS EVER WANTED FOR BEING A LITTLE BITCH!!" Naruto screamed at the two, scaring the two with the tone of his voice "I've spent my life running, getting beaten, and getting my life cursed where as that whiny little BITCH had his life paved in gold!!" he finished, going silent for several minutes before starting to sniffle "Why does everyone hate me?" he said with a shaky voice as tears ran down his face
Sakura and Ino were still shocked by Naruto's sudden attitude change. They had some hidden want to hug him, and to comfort him. And they acted on it, they wrapped their arms around the poor boy and said something that made his still healing eyes widen "We're sorry"
Naruto returned the hug "I'm sorry I yelled" he said as he sobbed
"It's okay Naruto, everyone loses their tops at times" Ino said in a soothing voice
"Yeah, It's okay. Let it out" Sakura said in the same soothing voice
Naruto soon calmed down "I should really get some rest, no offense" he whispered
The girls nodded with a smile "Of course, goodbye Naruto" the two said in unison as they left.
Naruto flicked the volume switch back up and soon fell asleep.
With Sakura and Ino
"Hey Sakura?"
"Yeah?"
"Have you been thinking Naruto was right?" she asked
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked
"Well think about it, has Sasuke done anything to earn the respect he's given, except act all emoy" Ino asked her "rival in love"
"Well of-" Sakura started, but fell silent. She started to think of how everyone treated Sasuke like royalty, when he never deserved it, he was cold, arrogant, and a bastard. Yet, Naruto was the sweetest and most friendliest person they had ever met, and he was treated like crap, they had even seen people spit on him, they had at that time thought he did something to deserve it, but as time went by, they noticed he never did anything wrong and it still happened to him. She also started to remember how she and Ino had shunned and pushed Naruto away to fawn over Sasuke.
"Hey Ino?" Sakura asked
"Y-yeah?"
"We're terrible people aren't we?" she asked with sadness in her voice
"Y-yeah, I guess" Ino responded with sadness in her voice as well.
"There must be something we can do to make it up to him" Sakura asked
"Well, I think the first thing we can do is say we're sorry, and be nicer to Naruto" Ino said
"Yeah, we'll see what we can do after that" Sakura exclaimed as she ran away towards her house, but not before waving goodbye to Ino.
The Next Morning
"Naruto...Naruto wake up!" Sarutobi said as he shook Naruto lightly
"Huh..wha?" Naruto said groggily as he shook his sleepiness off "What's up oji-san?"
"It's time to remove your bandages" Sarutobi said as a doctor entered the room
"Really?" Naruto asked perplexed
"Yes, now Naruto, close your eyes" the doctor asked as he took some scissors out and cut the bandages, Sarutobi took a mirror out and held it to Naruto's face "Okay Naruto, open your eyes" Sarutobi asked. Naruto slowly opened his eyes and all he saw was red
He started to panic "Oji-san! All I can see is red!" he shouted as he looked over to Sarutobi, what he saw shocked him, he could see Sarutobi's name and lifespan "Oji-san? Why can I see your name? And what are all of these numbers?" Naruto asked
Sarutobi excused the doctor and locked the door. "Naruto, you have the eyes of the shinigami now, you can see the name and lifespan of every human being. You can control when it's on, so calm down, and concentrate on your eyes." he explained. Naruto calmed down and concentrated on his eyes, sure enough, he could see normally and his eyes stopped glowing red, they had gone back to their normal blue.
"Okay Naruto, to explain everything, here" Sarutobi said as he gave Naruto a scroll "Take this scroll, to this location on this map" Sarutobi explained as he handed Naruto a map "All will be explained there" Sarutobi finished.
"Hai oji-san" Naruto replied as he left through the window towards the location on the map. When he arrived there he was in the forest, he was very near the area of his attack because he could see the hole in the tree and the blood on the grass. He saw a area that looked like it had been dug up in the past, so he started digging with his hands and found another scroll. He was confused so he took the scroll he was given and opened it, it read.
Dear Son
This is a final letter to you my son. You may know me as The Fourth Hokage, but I was best known as Minato Namikaze, but I want you to know me as dad. I want you to know I am so sorry for sealing the nine tailed fox in you, you must now think I'm the worst human being ever and won't take kindly to my request I am about to ask. But Naruto, please, for my sake, for your mothers sake, and for the world's sake. Take the mantle as Kira, as your other father did, bring peace to this unstable and corrupt world. I love you son, don't ever forget me or your family.
Love, Dad
Naruto finished reading the letter with shaky hands, his fathers? The Fourth Hokage was one of them?! Naruto ran at the hole with incredible speed and grabbed the other scroll, he noticed the blood seal and without hesitation bit his finger and smeared the blood on the seal, it opened and a black notebook popped out of it and fell to the ground. He ignored it and read the scroll
Dear Son
This is my first and unfortunately my last letter to you son. My name is Light "Uzumaki Namikaze" Yagami and I am one of two of your fathers. This is a heavy favor to ask of son, but would you pick up where me, Kushina, and Minato left off? Will you become the New Kira? Will you become the new bringer of justice? This is a heavy favor and I will hold nothing against you if you decline, and son, I'll always love you.
Love, Dad
Naruto by now had tears running down his face, he now knew his parents loved him and didn't abandon him. He wiped away his tears and saw the black notebook, he crouched down and picked it up "Death Note?" he asked himself as he opened the book and saw the rules "The human whose name is written in this note shall die." he read to himself "This note will note take effect unless the writer has the persons face in their mind when writing his or her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected." he continued to himself. "What is this? Some kind of joke? If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the persons name, it will happen." he continued
"Ah, so you're Light's son, and to answer your question, no it's not a joke" a voice said, Naruto spun around and saw a terrifying monster with blue skin, yellow teeth that are a sharp as a shark's, and yellow eyes that seemed to peer into the soul of anyone they gaze upon. Naruto yelled in terror and fell to the ground. "W-who are you?" he stuttered
The creature responded with a raspy laugh that sent chills up Naruto's spine "My name is Ryuk, and I am a shinigami (god of death)" he explained
"S-shinigami? What are you doing here?" Naruto stuttered fearfully
"Well that notebook used to belong to me, and by shinigami rules I now follow you around" Ryuk explained
"You sure this doesn't come with a price?" Naruto asked more confindently
"The only "price" is the feeling the user feels, agony, fear. But for you that shouldn't be a problem. And if you don't want it, simply give it to me, and I will erase all trace of the note from your mind" Ryuk explained
Naruto stayed silent before taking a pen from his pocket, he opened the notebook and wrote "Iruka Umino", he closed the book and walked into the village, he spotted Iruka with Mizuki and right when Iruka noticed Naruto, he felt his chest get heavy, he clutched his chest and fell to the ground. Mizuki's and Naruto's eyes widened, Mizuki started to shake Iruka "Hey Iruka! What's wrong!?"
Naruto looked shocked. He looked to his left, and then to his right, he walked up to Iruka and saw that he was really dead.
"Oh shit! What happened!" Mizuki yelled, panicking.
Naruto ran home as a crowd started to converse towards Iruka
"I...I killed him!" Naruto said as he hyperventilated and locked his door "Do I have any right to judge them?" he asked himself before a scowl appeared on his face "No...That's wrong!...This is what I've always wanted...This world is rotten!..the rotten are better off dead!" he said in a stern voice "Somebody..Somebody has to do it! Even if I have to sacrifice my peace of mind! I can't let things go on like THIS!" he yelled "If somebody has picked up this notebook. Could they eliminate the people the world doesn't need? There's no way they could! But me...I can do it!...No...Only I can do it!...I'll do it. Using the death note.. I will change the world!" he said to himself as he calmed down "To start, I'll clean up the filth of the world, and send a warning to everyone. No one will be able to commit crimes anymore. And then while the most heinous criminals are dying from heart attacks, I'll kill off the lesser burdens to society with illness and accidents, one by one. If I do that the world will start to move in the right direction! Then I'll create a world filled only with kind hearted people I accept. And I..will become the god of the new world!" he finished
"Here we go again" Ryuk said with a cackle

Dare ni mo mirenai yume o mite
Iranai mono wa subete suteta
Yuzurenai omoi Kono mune ni yadoshite
(I had a dream that no one else could have
and I threw away everything that I didn't need
Thoughts that I can't surrender dwell in my chest)
Mada riaru to idearu no hazama ni ite
Gisei no kase ni ashi o torarete mo
Afureru shoudou osaekirenai
Tsuyoku motomeru kokoro ga aru kara
(Even if I'm still in the rift between reality and ideals
and my feet are bound by shackles of sacrifice
My overflowing urges aren't fully repressed
Because I have a heart that yearns powerfully)
"Itsuwari" "Osore" "Kyoshoku" "Urei"
Samazama na negateibu ni
Torawareru hodo yowaku wa nai
Kodoku mo shiranu trickster
("Pretense" "Fear" "Vanity" "Grief"
I won't be weak enough
To be apprehended by the various negative things
I'm a trickster who doesn't know loneliness)
