Hey everybody, it's LordNephilim. Sorry to everybody for being gone for so long. After I had writer's block, I got caught up in tons of crap (Classes, part of my Mom's lung dying, holidays, etc.). I was able to keep upto date on the manga, giving me tons of ideas for latter chapters. Hope that you all enjoy!

A/N: I am also working on a Tenchi Muyo and Bleach project, so keep an eye out for it!


It was a cloudy morning when Enzeru got up to head for class. He put on one of his blue t-shirts with a white star on the chest and some black shinobi pants. The day before he had met Naruto, and made his first real friend during his time in his new village. Enzeru had been feeling lonely since he had left the hospital. Kurenai and Anko were great, but lately they have had a plethora of missions, and have not been able to tutor Enzeru. Enzeru was half way there when he stopped at the Ichiraku Ramen Bar to meet up with his new friend. It had started to rain when he walked in, 'Good thing I brought an umbrella.' He thought to himself. He turned to his right to see Naruto eating some ramen. After hanging out with Naruto yesterday, Enzeru had learned a great deal about Naruto. One of those things was that Naruto was obsessed with ramen to an unhealthy level. Enzeru then tapped Naruto on his shoulder, "Why are you eating ramen for breakfast?" Enzeru asked as he crossed his arms. Naruto finished drinking the broth and then answered "Because it's good." He answered bluntly. "Well since you are done, lets head to class before we are late." Enzeru said as he began to walk out. Once they were out cthey realized that the rain was now turning into a storm. Enzeru opened up his umbrella and realized that Naruto did not have an umbrella of his own. "Hey Naruto, do you want to share the umbrella?" Sure but wouldn't it look strange with two guys sharing it?" "Naruto I don't think that nobody will care with this weather." With that the two got under their shield against the barrage of rain. Then as if Mother Nature was having her time of the month and was pissed out of her mind, a gust of wind blew their umbrella away almost instantly. The boys then were caught in the rain and were getting soaked. "Well that sucks." Enzeru said as watched as his umbrella fly off to the Hokage Mountain. "I am sorry about that Enzeru." Naruto said as he grabbed a spare newspaper to cover his head. "It's no biggie, it's not like you can control the wind. But now I have an idea." "What is it?" "I'll race you to class! Do you accept my challenge Naruto Uzumaki?" Enzeru declared in an overly-dramatic fashion. Naruto then threw the news paper aside and proudly replied with "I the future Hokage will accept your challenge Enzeru Yuhi!" and with that they were off.

In their haste both Naruto and Enzeru had tied and got to class early. The only people there were Iruka-sensei, Shino Aburame, Shikamaru Nara, and one dark haired girl with pale lavender eyes. By the time they had reached the class they were both soaked to the bone. "Ah this sucks." Naruto said as he made his way to his seat. As time went on the class started to fill up and class had started. They were talking about chakra control. Naruto was having trouble getting a hold on the subject, but Enzeru tutored him after class. Although Naruto still wasn't a master of chakra control, but he was better off than before. Once they had finished with their practice, they went their separate ways.


The next day came and they were off from class, so Naruto and Enzeru went to the park to hang out. They decided to play some hide-in-seek, but to think that they were cool, they called it training. Enzeru was it, and Naruto went for cover. Since it was the afternoon and families were coming to relax, Naruto hoped that the crowds would keep Enzeru at bay. He then jumped into a bush to wait for Enzeru to give up. About a minute in the bush, Naruto felt secure about his until he felt something on his back. "Okay Enzeru, you got me…" Naruto said as he turned to face his hunter. But he did not see Enzeru, instead he saw a huge spider an inch away from his face. Naruto jumped back in surprise out of the bush, and knocked somebody over with a loud "eep". Naruto then realized that he knocked a girl over. "I am sorry please forgive me!" Naruto said as he got off the unfortunate girl. He then got a better look at the girl, she had short black hair and pale lavender eyes. "O… oh it's okay, I was in the way." The girl stuttered as she spoke. Naruto noticed that the girl started to turn red as she spoke to him. "Hey you're in my class right ?" Naruto asked as he helped her up."Oh ye… yes I am." She replied. "I am Naruto, sorry bout crashing into you." He said as he rubbed the back of head. "I… I am Hinata, nice to meet you. And it is alr…right." She said as she straightened out her kimono. "There you are Naruto, I found you!" said a tired out Enzeru said as he jumped out of the same bush that Naruto was hiding in earlier. Enzeru lands on top of Naruto, who in turn crashes into Hinata. "Get off of me dude!" Naruto shouted as he tried to get off of Hinata. "Sorry bout that dude, oh sorry Hinata!" Enzeru said as he got off of Naruto. "You know Hinata?" Naruto asked as he helped Hinata up. "Yeah, her dad heard about my grades and wanted me to tutor her like you." He said as he dusted himself off. "Th…thank you Na…Naruto-kun" "Oh it was no problem…" Naruto was cut off when men from the Hyuuga clan came. "Lady Hinata, you are to return to the complex with us immediately." Then men announced. They then saw Naruto next to her, and their attitudes changed. They take Hinata as quickly away from Naruto shouting at him. They then left with Hinata in tow. With that Naruto and Enzeru left the park. 'Yes! My plan worked!' Enzeru exclaimed in his head. Enzeru had known that Hinata liked Naruto, and he intended for them to meet each other. Being the son of the Genjutsu Mistress of Konoha had its perks. He was proud of that spider genjutsu he had cast, and was laughing his tail off at Naruto's reaction. As he made his way back home, he began to scheme of new ways to get them together.


A week has passed sense then, and Naruto was on his way to Enzeru' house. His original purpose was to study, something that he loathed. He did enjoy however just hanging out at Enzeru's place, mostly because it was so much nicer than his apartment. He made his way to the door and knocked. The door opened up and Enzeru was standing there. "Sup Naruto, glad you made it!" Enzeru said merrily as he brought Naruto in. They made their way to the kitchen table when Naruto noticed that they were not alone. Sitting at the table was the shy, raven-haired girl that he knocked over a week prior. Hinata saw Naruto and began to blush slightly, "Hel… hello Naruto-kun." "Hi Hinata" Naruto said not noticing Hinata's stutter. "Hey Naruto I invited Hinata so that we could have a study group. You cool with that?" Enzeru asked as he went to the fridge. "Oh its great actually, three heads are better than two, right." With that Naruto sat next to Hinata. Enzeru let an insidious grin creep onto his face while he had his back towards the two. He then got a pitcher of juice and some glasses and brought them over to the table. After an hour or so, Naruto had knocked his glass off the table. But to their surprise, it just floated in mid-air. They were very confused, but both Naruto and Hinata both thought Enzeru was trying to scare them with genjutsu. Although Enzeru played along, he knew that was not the case. He didn't want the glass to break, it was a new set that Kurenai had just bought. As it fell, he wished he could reach it and stop it. And just like magic, is wish came true.

After they finished studying, the played around for a little bit. Eventually a group from the Hyuuga Clan to bring Hinata home, Naruto soon left afterword. It was getting late, and Kurenai was still out on a mission. Enzeru then cleaned up the house after his rendezvous with his friends. He then went to take a shower and went to bed. As he slept, something stirred in the deepest and darkest parts of his subconscious. It had no form, yet it was alive. "Sleep young one, for your destiny will demand much from you." This being thought to itself and went silent.


He found himself in a dark city lit up by signs written in languages he couldn't even grasp. He then began to walk through the crowds, noticing that most of these people were not human. Some had scales and claws that only had three fingers on them. Others were just plain bizarre. He then continued to walk through the streets, in awe of what is around him. Giant towers of steel and glass reaching for the night sky, boats of steel sailing in the air. He was so mesmerized that he did not notice that giant lizard man in front of him. He bumped into the lizard man, which angered the lizard man. "What the hell!" the lizard hissed as it spun around to face Enzeru. The lizard man then lifted Enzeru by his throat, and picked him up a good four feet. Enzeru was trying to pull the claw from his throat, but it was too strong. Soon other strange looking beings came upon the scene, and were cheering the lizard man on. They were shouting and insulting him for being human. The lizard man then threw Enzeru against a steel wall, and then pulled out a knife. Enzeru then heard a strange sound, followed by a unique humming sound. Out of the crowd came a man in a black robe, carrying a sword made out of a purple light. The man had a hood on so Enzeru couldn't this man's face. The cloaked figure stood in between Enzeru and his assailant.

"Leave this boy alone. I will not repeat myself" the figure spoke in a cold tone.

"You pathetic human, I will kill you too. I don't care even if you are a Jed… AAAGGGHHHHHH!" The lizard man gagged for breath before he could finish. The man in black had shot his hand onto the creature's throat and was choking him.

"NEVER compare me to that hypocritical order. Now because you even thought that I was one of them, you will die slowly."

The hooded man then takes his glowing blade and severs the creature's right arm, followed by all of its other limbs. All that was left of the lizard man was his head and torso. "You are quite lighter without those, what do you call them? Oh yes extremities." The man said with some glee in his voice. He lets go of the Lizard man, and stomps on the center of its chest. "Let's see how you hold up with a crushed lung, shall we." The man said as he grinded his foot into creature, the sounds of broken bones filling the air. The figure then placed his booted foot onto the creature's neck. He did not stomp on it, he slowly began to grind his boot into his victim's neck. After a minute or so of this unimaginable torture, the creature dies. The hooded figure then began killing all of the other beings, and then turned to face Enzeru.

The man then made his blade retract into the hilt of the sword, and walked towards Enzeru. He then lifted Enzeru by some unseen force up to his. "Come with me." He said. Enzeru was then whisked away from the city, and was now in a misty tomb.

The room was circular and had a sarcophagus in the center. The hooded figure then made a gesture with his hand, and the sarcophagus morphed into a throne. The figure then sat in the throne, and addressed Enzeru. "Come before me." He commanded. Enzeru complied and stood before the cloaked man. "I believe that you have many questions, my boy. And I can sense that you are confused." The figure said as he leaned forward.

"Yes I do have questions, my first is who are you." Enzeru asked. The man laughed and replied with "That is a good question, but I think the real question is, who are you?"

"I am Enzeru Yuhi of the Village Hidden in Leaves, now stop wasting my time and tell me who you are!" Enzeru shouted, getting aggravated.

"Let's just say I am going to be your best friend and worst enemy. I suppose you could say I am your subconscious." The man in the cloak stopped laughing and started to speak seriously

"Today you unleashed your power didn't you." He spoke as he adjusted himself.

"What do you mean?"

"I am a part of you, I know about the glass incident." With that the figure rose out of his throne and walked toward an area that was seemingly empty. With a flick of his wrist the area became a small library. "You have access to the greatest power in existence, and I want to teach you how to use it."

"Why do you want to help me?" Enzeru asked. The man then turned to face Enzeru, never revealing his face.

"Because you are meant for great things, I can see into the future and you will need to control your gift to face the challenges that lay before you." The cloaked man then pulled some books off the shelves and placed them onto a nearby table.

"While your body is resting, we will train in your mind. I will teach you swordsmanship techniques that no other sentient in this world has ever dreamed about. I will teach you to the world around you. I will teach you about power. And I will teach you how to conquer life… and even death."

Enzeru was eager to learn about this power. He was hoping by learning about his power, he could learn about where he came from and who his family was. "Before we begin, is there anything that I could call you by." Enzeru asked. The man began to laugh, and Enzeru could feel the madness flowing off of this man. Enzeru felt like he was in an ocean of negative emotion, and this man was the source. "Yes there is one name that I am fond of." He spoke while he made his way back to his throne.

"You can call me, Thanatos."
