Konnichiwa. Watashi wa Acolyte. To those of you who aren't yet tired of my verbal abuse, welcome to the second chapter of "Bloody Prayer"! In this chapter Naruto is actually awake, so stop your bitching. I also have an idea for a new fanfic soon, so I may switch between them, but want to at least finish chapter three first. Now, onwards to chapter two!

Disclaimer: If I did get any sort of monetary gain from writing this, I would buy Microsoft and replace the damn paperclip in Word. Considering the fucking thing is still asking if I want to delete the break line that separates everything, I must assume no envelope will be sent to me containing five hundred billion dollars any time soon.

At this point, Naruto hazily opened an eye. It would appear that he had somehow ended up in a cave with stalagmites and stalactites sprouting from the ground and ceiling respectively. The last thing he remembered was that bigoted Konoha citizens and shinobi ambushed him.

Naruto was wandering aimlessly at the moment. Since Danzou canceled training for the rest of the month, he had to entertain himself. He thanked the man for everything he had done for him, but he was just…off a little bit. He was aware that Danzou only wanted the best for Konoha, but he didn't know what extremes he would take to ensure its safety.

Lost in thought as he was, he didn't notice the large congregation of people around him. That is, not until a civilian threw a rock at his head. He stumbled and only then noticed the situation. Now, at his level he could probably take out all the civilians, even though he was probably mid-gennin level in strength. However, there were also chunin thrown into the mix, meaning he would most likely get his ass kicked. With this thought he pulled out a kunai and prepared for the worst.

He did well, talking down numerous civilians and one chunin who got to arrogant when the tide started to turn. But, he apparently gained favor with some god who rewarded him with the appearance of Hyuuga Hiashi. He was on good standing with all members of the shinobi council, which is probably why Hiashi wasn't killing him right now, but he personally would have preferred if Aburame Shibi had been the one to show up, considering his kikai bugs would have made short work of everyone their.

At some point though, Hiashi fell due to a kunai to the lung, dangerously close to his spinal column, and with all attention once again focused upon him, he fell, his kunai cast away at some point in the fight, crippling his efficiency since he was a kenjutsu fighter. Just before he blacked out, he saw four figures land near the back of the crowd. Then all he saw was white.

Well that was great and all but it still didn't explained why he was in this cave, so, in fact, it wasn't great at all. Oh, how he hated irony. At least he could see due to the torches that lined the walls.

As he started to look for an exit, he soon ran into a grusum sight. Bodies were strewn haphazardly everywhere. As he took a closer look he recognized them as people that attacked him. He counted eight in total. As the stench assalted his nose, he felt the urge to vomit, but held it down. Just wanting to get away he ran until he bumped into something.

Looking up he barly registered an old oriental looking gate with numerous kanji carved into it. What really caught his attention, though, was the pair of glowing red eyes and vicious grin behind it. Nine beams of light appeared to let him see into the cage further. He quickly relized they were nine tails. Connected to a fox. He quickly drew a conclusion.

"How is this possible? You're the Kyuubi, right? you should be dead. Oh God, I'm dead. I'm in hell!" while Naruto was comically freaking-out, he almost didn't here what the giant kitsune had to say.

"That's Jashin-sama, mortal." The beast rumbled while Naruto stopped running in circles and looked at him confused.

"Who?" he replied stupidly, forgetting the current situation.

"This God, as you call him, his name Jashin-sama, and I and the other Bijuu, are his loyal tools of mass destruction. We are natural disasters sent by him to villages so they know he is still watching over them, and wants tribute. But we are the other way he gets that. Understand?" supplyed Kyuubi, trying to explain to him the ultimate force in the universe.

"Well, sort of, I guess, but if this Jashin-sama, as you call him, is all-powerful why doesn't he handle this himself, and why am I only hearing about him now? Where the hell are we anyway?" asked the slightly confused blond, trying to get a better grasp of Jashin and his surroundings.

"Okay, last question first. We are technically in your mind. Wait, on second thought, no, I'll save that question for last. All right, anyway, I never said Jashin-sama was all-powerful, nothing ever can be, Jashin-sama is, however, all knowing, and still the most powerful being in this, or any other plane of existance. You see, Jashin-sama was bored one day and decided to create this plane of existence. Actually, he created several, and keeps watch over all of them. At first all was great, all idolized him and brought him blood tribute, killing others who rivaled him in his name. However, soon people started doing this for two reasons. One was to gain standing and influence so they could eventually be in control, the other as an excuse to kill true believers after they were corupted by others. Jashin-sama, fed up with this, abandoned these worlds to live in his own plane of existence, taking those true believers with him and cutting off his direct contact with all other worlds. He also seemed to favor your world, as he left most of his knowledge here. He created us to help feed him souls of infidels, hoping to remind them just who created them. He even gave us the power of dimension hopping. That better?" finished the beast.

The blond then answered. "Almost," he said, "but you still haven't compleatlysaid where I am. What do you mean by we're in my mind?"

"Oh yeah, that." He said with disdain. "Well, basically, your Yondaime sealed me in you while I was serving Jashin-sama. This is why you were hated in Konoha, hence, no longer there." The beast drawled while Naruto was shocked at its bluntness, that he was inside him, and that he wasn't in Konoha anymore.

"Then where the fuck are we and why?" the boy demanded, angry and shocked at not being in Konoha anymore.

"Well, as I said, yor hated and it's for your safety, as Danzou put it. We are now in Yugakure." Naruto was slightly shocked he knew of Danzou. "Don't be surprised. I have access to your subconscious, so I know things about you that even you don't know. Now listen, we don't have much time left. When you wake up, you will be in the village leaders office. You have been out of it for about four days. Talk to him about joining the Shinobi academy. There will be a teacher there I want you to meet. You will learn more when you see him. Good luck."

And with that he saw white once more.

Office Building:

Naruto awoke with a start, the smell of sulfer overtaking his senses. he eventually overcame the scent and started taking in his surroundings. The room was pretty empty and plain. He was on a couch and to his left was a hardwood desk with a few papers spread across it. But it was who was at the desk that caught his attention.

The man at the desk was tall, 6'4, with black hair and reading glasses over his green eyes. He wore average shinobi garb, only his shirt and pants were black instead of blue like in Konoha, and he had a smoky grey flak jacket, opposed to the green he was accustumed to. He appeared to be in his late thirties.

Standing, the man approached his position on the couch and bent down to his level. He then smiled at him, and spoke, in a smooth and friendly voice. "Hello Uzumaki Naruto, I'm Nagana, Houshi Nagana, and I'm the leader of Yugakure no Sato, where you currently are. Danzou told me much about you when he dropped you off. He told me you had some prior shinobi training and you will start the new semester with everyone else in two days. Is there anything else you would like to know?"

As Nagana backed away, Naruto stood on shaky legs, looked him dead in the eye despite the thee and a half-foot difference and with some bitterness said "Two things. One, where will I be staying. Two, what will I do in those two days before the academy?"

Nagana tossed him a pair of keys and said, "There's an apartment already paid off on the east side of the village, five blocks from the academy. Danzou-san dropped your stuff off there. Secondly, you should rest. You do remember what happened, right?" the last was asked with much concern, slightly surprised that the kid wasn't shocked, but hid it well.

"Yeah, I got my as kicked by a bunch of civilians." Was his annoyed answer. He seemed to forget about the high-level chunin.

Nagana was slightly taken aback, his friendly smile dropping slightly as he was reminded of a certain white-haired shinobi currently on probation. He was so shocked he barly registered the fact that Naruto turned his back and was about to leave. He just had time to call out that he had to be at the academy at seven a.m. before he disappeared completely. With a sigh he sat back down and thought of what might come next.

xxx/two_days_later/xxx

Naruto awoke at six in the morning and got ready. In his spare time he got use to the layout of the village. It was smaller than Konoha thankfully, so didn't take both days. He also did a little light training. His apartment was nothing special and had everything he would need, including clothes.

Since he didn't expect much on the first day, he just wore a t-shirt and shorts with his kunai and shurikan holsters strapped to him, and a new wakizashi strapped to the small of his back, a gift from his caretakers.

When he arrived he went through the two hour entrance ceremony. when that was over with, he tiredly got up and found his classroom as he waited for his sensei.

Nagana's Office:

Nagana sat at his desk signing papers and sipping coffee. He let his mind wander to a topic he knew he would get complaints about, that being the new sensei at the academy. Neither he or the teacher wanted it, but it was either this or a gennin squad for the jounin, but it was to late to get the latter, so a three-year probation job at the academy it was. He just hoped the kids didn't come out too scarred.

Academy:

The door opened and in walked a tall man of thirty-two, though his slicked-back white hair may throw you off. Standing at 6'3 and coupled with his fierce purple eyes and his scowl, he was intimidating. He had on black shinobi pants and a black cloak buttoned up only to his ribcage with only his open grey flack vest on top, showing off his muscles. Naruto also caught a glimpse of something silvery with beads before the man put it in his cloak. Immediately some of the girls gave a dreamy sigh, making all of the males have an eye twitch.

Clearing his throat and adjusting the hitai-ate with three slanted vertical lines around his neck, he spoke in a voice tht depicted a cruel nature "Seriously, listen-up you fucking gaki. For the next three years you will all refer to me as Hidan-sensei," Here he paused and gave a sick grin. "And welcome to fucking hell, seriously."

Well, that was a pain in the ass to write. As for Nagana, he came off the top of my head. It appears we have a few twists as well. Onto translations.

wakizashi: A short sword commonly strapped to the back and used as a side arm. Also has a common use in seppuku.

Hitai-ate: Forehead protector.

Gaki: Brat.

Next time is a time skip to Naruto's graduation and some extra. Ja ne.
