The King Comes Forth
It was a perfectly normal October 10th in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Well, as perfectly normal as a ninja village can be. It was a beautiful summer night, perfect for the festival to celebrate the downfall of the greatest demon lord, the Kyuubi, the Nine-Tailed Fox.
However, things were not perfect for five year old Naruto Uzumaki, who was currently running for his life from a mob of villagers. "Why do they all hate me?" he thought, "I haven't done anything to them and they treat me like some animal that wants to kill them."
Turning into an alleyway, Naruto's way was cut off. Seeing a bunch of trash cans, he decided to try to hide. However, there is only so long you can hide in a closed off back alley. "So, the demon thinks it can escape us by hiding behind garbage, does it?" came a voice. Suddenly, Naruto was grabbed and pulled into the worst beating he had, and will have, ever received.
Hopping across rooftops, a lone figure was moving freely over the village. Hopping not exactly the best word, he seemed to be almost gliding. "Damn, never a meal in a ninja village." Thought the shadowy figure. But something caught his eye. Down in the alleyway, he saw a small boy, no older than five, lying broken and bloody, but strangely not dead, in the alley below.
"My lucky night," Said the man, appearing next to Naruto, "From the look of this, you won't be missed. Grinning, and showing off his severely long fangs in the process, the man bit down into Naruto's neck and started draining his blood.
Deep in the recesses of Naruto's mind, a pair of giant red eyes opened and a dark voice mumbled, "Oh no you don't you damn parasite." With that, a massive amount of red chakra flared to life and began flowing into Naruto.
Back outside, our now revealed vampire was feeling two things he had rarely felt since becoming a creature of the night. Fear, though he couldn't for the life (or undeath as the case may be) figure out where it was coming from.The other… was pure agonizing pain. Releasing Naruto, he screamed in horror before turning to ash.
"Good riddance to bad rubbish. This may well work to my advantage though. Best get to work changing the kit's new genes." An hour later, Naruto came across a big room. By the looks of things, he had earlier decided the mob must have thrown him into a sewer, and he had been wandering around ever since. In this new room, was a giant cage, kept shut only by a small bit of paper with the kanji for SEAL on it. "Who knew that the sewers were this big?" he said more than asked.
Suddenly, from within the cage, someone, or something, said "This isn't a sewer." Looking up, Naruto looked into a pair of giant Eyes and teeth that made him look small in comparison to just one. "Who… who are you?" Naruto managed to ask. "I am the Great Kyuubi no Kitsune. And before you start any crap about the Fourth Hokage killing me, let me tell you that I cannot be killed by conventional means."
"The only way I can be stopped is with a very powerful seal, which is why I am here. The Fourth sealed me in an insignificant child… you." "So that's why everyone hates me, they think I'm you. Some kind of monster, a freak, a demon." "Yes, but soon, you will become something beyond even what their minds can comprehend."
"What exactly do you mean?" "You have been bitten by a vampire." "What the hell is a vampire." "Shut up and I'll tell you. The vampire tale starts long before the Sage of Six Paths, and long before the nine tailed beasts. I don't know the exact details, but I'll try my best.
"Now, I won't bother with an explanation of how the vampires came to be. It was before my time, and the stories differ greatly. Some say the original vampire was a man named Count Dracula. The man became so powerful that only a werewolf could manage to kill him." "A werewolf?" "Quite when I'm speaking whelp. Anyway the story goes that he was murdered. But he made a pact with the Devil himself and returned as a vampire.
Other tales speak of a man named Alexander Corvinus. He was infected by a virus that made him immortal. He passed on his immortality to two of his three sons, one bitten by a bat, the other by a wolf, creating the first true vampire and lycan clans. Because I know you're going to ask, Lycan is another term for werewolf.
Regardless of how they were created, the original vampires were gods compared to the vampires of today. Vampires now can be killed with silver, steaks through the heart, even sunlight can be fatal. You however will not be so easily killed. In fact, I've removed most of the weaknesses. I've turned you into a mini Dracula. The only thing that can kill you would be a werewolf, but that species went extinct long ago.
Your powers will be impressive, even by shinobi standards. The ability to walk up solid walls without chakra. You will possess the ability to hypnotize weaker minds for a short period of time through eye contact. A nice little ability is that you won't appear in mirrors, but you can travel through them, though you need to know the location you are going.
You will also be unable to be killed by mortal means, as your body is technically dead already. You can also transform into a large demonic half-man, half-bat creature. This will increase your powers exponentially, and also give you the ability to fly. Some stories claim that Dracula couldn't have children, or that he could, but they would be born dead. I have remedied this. If you ever decide to have children, they will be born mortal, and they should become vampires naturally as they grow older.
I think all this is well worth the cost." Finished Kyuubi. "What cost?" "You're going to be immortal. Once you reach the age of 21, it will appear as though you stay 21 forever, the same going for anyone you turn. You have incredible abilities along with it. However, to sustain this life, you must drink the blood of others."
"WHAT!!!!!!" "Relax. You don't need a lot of blood, maybe a person worth every month, though you can have as much as you want. You can also sustain yourself on animal blood." "So can I still eat regular food?" "Yes. Now, you are about to wake up, I suggest you tell the old man all that I've told you, and if you need to talk to me, you need only think what you want to say."
Hidden Leaf Hospital
"I don't understand it Lord Hokage." He is still breathing, he still has brain activity, he is even mumbling in his sleep, but there is no heartbeat, no pulse, in truth, his body is so dead it could be buried six feet under by now." "Thank you, you may go."
Naruto groaned. He knew both of those voices. Old man Sarutobi and his personal doctor. Opening his eyes, Naruto looked up at the ceiling of his least favorite place, yet one he knew so well, the hospital. "Naruto, are you feeling alright?" asked Sarutobi. He looked at Naruto and hardly recognized him.
His hair had become a slightly dull, but only if you had an eye to notice such a change. He seemed muscular for a five year old, though he was still lean. His ears had become ever so slightly pointed and his skin had become slightly paler. All in all, he did not look the same. "I'm fine old man, and boy do I have news for you."
After recounting everything to Sarutobi, it was decided that Naruto's abilities be listed as a bloodline and he be told of his heritage. After flipping out, Naruto accepted the inheritance left to him by his father, the Fourth Hokage. It was also decided that Naruto be trained outside the academy. While Sarutobi wanted Naruto to make friends, he didn't want Naruto to lose control or something and feed on a student.
Naruto did however get a nice job for when he wasn't training in the academy jutsu, which wasn't so hard as his chakra control seemed, while not great, slightly better than it was. Naruto, though young, got to execute prisoners through draining. Though the thought of killing and drinking blood still disturbed Naruto, he wasn't about to say no to what he was now very good at.
Timeskip
7 years Later
Naruto had all but mastered the three academy jutsu, along with a more powerful clone jutsu the old man had taught him, the shadow clone jutsu. He had also very nearly mastered all of his vampire abilities. He looked exactly as he did that night seven years ago, he had just gotten bigger. He wore a black trench coat similar to Ibiki Morino's, black shinobi pants, and a black shirt with the kanji for blood on the front.
Today was the day of the genin team assignments and since they were one genin short, Sarutobi was putting Naruto in the slot, though he didn't know who his teammates would be. Naruto was sitting sleeping in the back of the class, while the teacher, Iruka, read off the team list. "Okay, team 7 will be Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki." Said Iruka, though double taking at the last name.
Right in the middle of her gloating, the pink banshee… I mean Sakura, just asked "Sensei, who is Naruto?" "That would be me." Said Naruto, appearing at the front of the class. "Who is this guy? Oh well, as long as he doesn't get in my way." Guess who thought that.
"TWO HOURS!!! I swear if our sensei is this late constantly, I'll make death look like a luxury compared to what I'll do to him. Damn it old man, why in the nine Hells did you have to make Kakashi our sensei?" Naruto screamed. "You now this guy?" asked Sasuke. "Yeah, he's practically famous for two things in the village. His little smut book, and his chronic tardiness." Was Naruto's reply.
Suddenly, Naruto calmed down ever so slightly while muttering "Finally showed up" very quietly to himself. Both Sasuke and Sakura looked at him like he was nuts, when the door opened to reveal an odd looking man with a face mask and a headband covering his left eye. "Staring is impolite," he said, "my first impression of you is …you're all idiots."
This earned sweatdrops from the three genin present. "Meet me on the roof" said Kakashi, who disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Looking around, Sasuke and Sakura realized that Naruto was gone too. Kakashi got to the roof to see that Naruto was already there. "So, Naruto, bit any good necks lately?" asked Kakashi with his little eye smile he does so well.
"Not recently, but if you tell these two about my "bloodline" before I'm ready to tell, It's gonna be you who I feed on next. And if the screams of terror and pain I normally get from prisoners are any indication, it's not very pleasant." Kakashi nodded while making a mental note to keep his distance from Naruto.
Finally the other two genin showed up. The introductions go the usual way until Naruto's. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like the old man Hokage, training, my side job, and ramen. I dislike arrogant pricks, and my dream, well I haven't really thought about this one. After all, I've got all the time in the world."
"Ok, meet me at seven o'clock tomorrow at training ground seven for your genin test." Said Kakashi. "WHAT!!! But we're already genin," shrieked Sakura, bursting several eardrums in the process, "See." She said while pointing to her headband. After getting his hearing back, Kakashi said, "That was the test to see if you were worthy to become genin. Don't be late, oh and don't eat breakfast or you'll throw up."
Well, there's the first chapter. Plenty short, but I'm working out the finer details for later.
