Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, although I do think I am entitled to ownership of this idea. I do hope u enjoy the first chapter.
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. Marie Curie
Fear.
Such a despicable thing for it was that brought the nothingness and their hate. They knew not what they faced and therefore feared it without hesitation or thought. Their fear quickly led them to hate as if it was natural or instinctual to them. I do not understand this but it matters little to me what they do or do not understand for they are insects, which to say they have little intelligence or for that matter knowledge. A pity I suppose to be tied to them by a chain of origin. But their fear has uses beyond keeping them away for it will infect the truth with the glare of ignorance. Through such ignorance will I be able to hide the truth from the eyes of those who seek my end.
Hatred
I do not feel that anymore, much to my tenants displeasure, for I have dispensed of anything that would hinder my progress towards the abyss of nothingness. But I can still feel its affects from those around me as they brandish as a weapon against my defiant existence This place makes me sick for I feel sometimes that I have become infected with their stink, their fallacy, their 'will of fire', their attempt to redeem themselves of what they have become. This place, I believe its name to be Konoha. I will never forget that name for it will be the end of my beginning and the beginning of my end.
Naruto (Hakkyou)
My name shall not be remembered for there will no one to remember it and nothing by which to remember it by. Woe is to those whose lives center on the protection this place for they shall be the first to fall but I cannot help but think that they shall be the truly lucky ones. The rest of village shall long scream and beg for death.
Kyuubi
I believe that is the name of my tenant but I am not sure for I am led to believe that demons do not share their true names to humans for it would be their undoing. She is... well the best way to put it is a spiteful creature filled with uncontrollable instincts and urges though I suppose some view those as the same thing. She has taught me many a thing that I value such as the strategy of fear. Such a useful thing I think to be able play a game with someones mind to point where they cannot do anything, which is to say that you win fight before even drawing a material weapon. The mind itself is a weapon that once honed is always drawn, through practice will never dull, and with diligence can become ever sharper. Beyond the mind though she has taught me deception, thievery, sneaking, and last but not least shape-shifting as well as demonic fuin-jutsu and more than a few traps and poisons. She told me something I have taken to heart and that is know thyself and thine enemy, for to know both is the greatest of advantages.
Shinobi
It is this thing of ningen creation of which I shall portray myself as to blend in while learning their destructive power before turning it against them. It is in this I cannot and will not fail for if I do all will have been not and my passing will have no effect other than the cheerful forgetting of their one and only 'problem' in their perfectly disgusting little village.

The hokage put down the file he had brought to him and took a long drag off his pipe. He sat there for a time in deep thought, I asked, "What are you thinking Hokage-sama?"
The sandiame sighed heavily and said, "I cannot help but think this is some how my fault that it has come to investigating a seven year orphan. I mean I should of seen this coming but I didn't. One day he was full of innocence and determination and the next he is little more than corpse that can move. Now it been two years since I have even seen him and now the council asks for his death every time there's meeting. But is suppose it doesn't matter now does it Inu, they have outvoted me and the warrant for his death has signed and made official. Which brings me to why I have called you here, you were the one I assigned to protect him and I think its fitting that you be one assigned to assassinate him. I did not believe it would ever come to this Inu, am I fool for thinking that?"
"No Hokage-sama I do not believe so for I am as guilty of it as you are."
"Well I suppose this is not something you are going to willing do?"
"No sir, I believe this matter requires further thought than those mindless council members are giving to this. As I stated in my report he has shown no signs of aggression or even hostility to anyone or anything for that matter."
"it is unfortunate though because of the thefts from both civilian and shinobi facilities as well as the myriad of deaths and disappearances since the loss of contact with the boy, the council thinks that these crimes were committed by the boy and nothing I or anyone else says will convince them otherwise. Everything else is out of my control Inu but this and I am asking you if you will do it?"
I paused and we sat there probably for minutes but to me, Hatake Kakashi, it felt like hours. I couldn't believe I believe I was being asked to kill the boy. Seriously how could the council believe the murders of the civilians and ninja as well as the thefts from Anbu headquarters could possibly be connected to the boy. I didn't understand but the decision was clear, I decided if it had to be done then I would do it. I stared at the hokage for a minute longer before answering, "It shall be done". With that I left to prepare.
I hope you enjoyed the second installation of Fear of Nothing. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to indulge yourself.
Akushitsu out.
