Chapter 2
Choice: The Glove
SS
'It is done. You have chosen and the Crucible has provided you with the appropriate knowledge.' said the Shinigami. 'The rest is up to you, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.'
All of the items began to glow. One by one, the options vanished, until all that remained was the monstrous glove that Naruto had chosen. It sat there on a pedestal, waiting to be picked up.
Naruto waited for something to happen. Nothing did.
The minutes went by.
Finally the silence was broken.
'For fucks sake, pick the damn thing up already! I haven't got all day, you know!' said a rather exasperated death god.
Naruto picked the glove up and put it on.
There was a flash of light.
SS
Opening his eyes, Naruto sat up in his bed.
'Was that all just a dream?' he thought. Then he saw his arm.
Or rather, what was attached to it.
The monstrosity of a glove he had chosen had adjusted itself to fit him perfectly. At the end of his fingers, hypodermic needles glowed with an unhealthy orange color.
Looking around, Naruto saw a piece of paper on his nightstand. Picking it up, he gave it a once-over, then read it a little more closely when he saw what was written.
'You're choice is the glove of a legendary villain, one who used fear to dispose of his enemies.
Johnathan Crane used a special toxin to make his enemies see their worst fears come to life. Once the toxin had run its course, the victim would die from pure fear.
This earned him his nickname: Scarecrow.
On this paper is more information about the life he lived and the villains he interacted with., along with his notes on his toxin.
Use his notes to become a great ninja.
Show your enemies what it means to be afraid.
-The Shinigami'
After reading the note, Naruto examined the glove attached to his arm. Staring into the orange liquid, he smiled. However, it was not his usual smile of joy.
This smile was much more sinister.
"Fear, huh? I like the sound of that..." he muttered. "After all, I have lived in constant fear of the villagers. Perhaps they would like a taste of their own medicine."
Then something occurred to him.
"What did he mean by 'Namikaze'?"
