Geass.
Disclaimer: I dont own Naruto or Code Geass.
He couldn't believe it, after everything he had gone through, after everything he had suffered, this was how it ended? With him lying in a pool of his own blood, close to a dozen kunai and senbon piercing his vital organs and limbs?
He'd thought that making an entrance like that would be cool, that he could impress everyone and show Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke-teme and Sakura-chan how cool he really was.
He hadn't expect Zabuza and the Hunter-nin to both get spooked and throw their weapons at him; well they had and now he lay dying, on some god forsaken bridge in the middle of some crappy country.
What a pathetic way for the so called future Hokage to die.
Oh how stupid he felt, if only he hadn't made such a dumb entrance, if only he had used his head, he wouldn't be on deaths door with his life flashing before his eyes like some kind of show.
And what a crappy show it was.
The more of his life he saw, the angrier he became as long buried memories resurfaced.
He saw just how unfairly he was truly treated in his own home. He saw the way people would look at him with either hate or sheer coldness, the way shopkeepers would throw him out of their stores, claiming that he was unworthy of their products. He remembered the academy instructors and how they hindered him at every turn but most of all, he remembered the beatings.
Beatings so terrible he had been hospitalized on numerous occasions, beatings so painful that his mind had locked them away until now, now that he lay dying. He saw them all and his anger rose, how dare they? How could they? These were the people he wanted to protect? These were the people he wanted to prove himself to? Why should he prove anything to them? They who had beaten and abused an innocent child and dared to call him a demon? If he was a demon then what were they? They were the true demons, not him and not the Kyuubi.
As his anger rose, his memories turned to a new subject, his so called friends. Only now did he truly see them for the people they were, those he had considered his friends were really just like the rest of the villagers.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage, the man he had considered a grandfather.
How could he have fallen for the mans lies so easily, how could he have forgiven the villagers for each beating simply because the old man had asked? The Sandaime was no friend of his, what had he ever done to help him?
The old man had forced him to live in an abusive orphanage for years, no matter how much he had complained about his treatment, then when he had finally been kicked out of the place, Sarutobi had given him an apartment in the slums, one that was barely livable.
Sarutobi could have done more to help him but he hadn't, why? Because he didn't care.
Honestly was it really believable that the most powerful man in the village couldn't even stop a child from being abused and beaten just once? He had been attacked every single October tenth, the Kyuubi festival and his birthday, yet Sarutobi acted surprised every year; like it was unexpected.
The Ichiraku's, the family that owned his favorite ramen stand.
Oh how they had really fooled him with their smiles and kindness but at the cusp of death he could clearly see their treachery.
How had he missed the dark looks they shot at him when he was occupied with his meal? The victorious gleam in their eyes every time he ordered a new bowl of ramen, the smirks on their faces as they pulled a vial of something from their pockets and poured it into his food and finally the frowns every time he managed to stumble away from the stall, satisfied but sickly.
Who knows what the many vials could have contained, who knows what insidious poisons they had been feeding him all these years. If it wasn't for the demon sealed within him, he could have been dead long ago, dead from ingesting a poisoned meal he had paid for.
Iruka-sensei, his mentor, his teacher, his adopted brother.
Iruka, how could he ever believe Iruka of all people cared for him? The man who had been his instructor for years, who had punished him for no reason whatsoever, the man who had continuously sabotaged his education. How had he not been suspicious when Iruka began acting nice to him for the last couple months of the school year? How had he been so fooled just because the man had taken him out for ramen?
Iruka hated him, he had hated him for years, why the simple change of heart? Why should it matter? It didn't matter if Iruka had changed, what mattered was the years of hate and sabotage the man had taken part in, sabotage that led to his death on this bridge.
His team, Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke...
Yeah, let's just not go there.
The fact that he had ever considered them his friends simply blew his mind.
As his mind raced, his anger rose and Naruto made a decision, one that would shape his very existence.
'I want revenge.'
He would show Konoha just who they had treated like shit, he would not die, he refused to die. He would endure like he always had, he would survive long enough for his injuries to be tended to, then he would do whatever was necessary to achieve his vengeance or his name wasn't Uzumaki Naruto.
All of a sudden time seemed to freeze around him and Naruto gasped as the world around him faded into a blur, what was going on?
"Do you want to live?" A deep voice rumbled within his mind.
'Who's there? Who is this?' Naruto shouted with worry. Even as he asked the question, he already knew the answer. He knew who the voice belonged to, after all what other being had the means to contact him like this?
"You already know who I am, but if you require a name then you may call me K.K" the voice replied in an amused tone.
"K.K? Kyuubi no Kitsune..." The blond murmured in a low tone, what did the fox want? Couldn't it see he was dying?
"You're not dying boy, at least not yet." The fox spoke, interrupting his thoughts. "I can save you."
"Oh." Naruto said dumbly.
He was going to live? Well that was pretty good right? Although, now he felt kind of silly for being all melodramatic earlier... wait, the fox said it could save him, not that it would.
'And what do you want in return?' The blond asked. 'What will it cost for you to save me?'
"Kukukuku." The fox laughed. "Very good boy, at least you've learned one of the fundamental truths in this world, nothing is free, everything has a price."
'Yeah, yeah.' The teen huffed. 'Answer me already fox, what do you want?'
Naruto could practically feel the demons grin as it replied.
"I propose a deal, a contract of sorts." The demon replied with a chuckle. "I'll not only save your life but I will grant you the power to make your goal a reality, the power to achieve your revenge, and in exchange you have to do a little favor for me."
'I'm not freeing you.' Naruto replied immediately.
Sure, right now he was more than willing to sell his soul to the devil but there was no way he would allow his revenge to blind him. Even if freeing the demon would bring about his revenge on Konoha, he knew that the Kyuubi would simply move on after the village was destroyed and terrorize innocents.
There was no way he was going to be responsible for the deaths of innocents.
"I don't want you to free me brat," the demon scoffed. "If I wanted my freedom, I could simply let you die and tear my spirit from your lifeless husk."
"Oh." Naruto muttered again. "Then what do you want?"
Another chuckle.
"Not now, I'll tell you some day." The fox replied. "For now, let's make the deal, do you accept the terms of my contract?"
Naruto lay in thought for several minutes as he contemplated the demons deal, rushing in without thinking had landed him in this spot, he would carefully consider his options before making a choice. Thankfully, the Kyuubi, or K.K, kept quiet while he thought.
On one hand, he would not only get to live through this ordeal but he would also gain the power to achieve his revenge. On the other hand, he would owe the Kyuubi, a demon feared in all the nations for its cruelty and power, a favor.
Was he really willing to do anything for his revenge? Could he really do whatever it was the demon required just so he could have his revenge on those who had abused him?
The answer was simple.
'Alright K.K, as long as the favor doesn't involve me freeing you from the seal then I accept the contract.' Naruto replied with conviction.
"Very well, the contract is made." K.K boomed cheerfully. "Now then, Uzumaki Naruto, what is your hearts desire?"
Even as he thought 'I want revenge.' Naruto could hear a part of himself whisper 'I want them all to suffer.'
The two thoughts seemed to echo within his mind over and over until they blocked each other out. A moment later, Naruto swore he heard something that sounded distinctly like a click, before the world vanished in a haze of red.
The first thing Naruto noticed when he woke was that his entire body was sore, especially his eyes. He blinked and was glad to note that he still retained his vision, no matter how painful his eyes felt.
Looking down his frame, he was glad to see that all his wounds had healed and the weapons that had caused them lay scattered around him, as if they had been forcefully expelled. The wounds themselves had all healed flawlessly, no scars left behind and the only evidence being the rips and tears in his clothing.
With a triumphant grin, Naruto sat up and shakily got to his feet, his vision blurred and he was overcome by a mild bout of dizziness. Even though his wounds had healed, he had still lost quite a lot of blood.
As he stood, Naruto couldn't help but notice the power that filled him, he felt more powerful than before and as information entered his mind, he knew that he was indeed more powerful. He had been granted a wondrous ability, Geass his mind supplied, an ability that would truly allow him to enact his revenge.
Naruto grinned widely as his right eye glowed crimson, he couldn't wait to test it out.
The sound of metal clashing drew the blonds attention and his head snapped up to take in his surroundings. He was still on the incomplete bridge and from what he could see, the battle was nearly over.
On one side, he could see the bridge builder Tazuna cowering behind his worthless teammate, Sakura.
'What I ever saw in that useless bimbo, I'll never know.' The blond thought with a sneer.
While watching his entire life flash past his eyes, one of the first things Naruto had done was shed his 'love' for Sakura Haruno. The girl was nothing more than an abusive, useless fangirl who had nothing else on her mind but her precious Sasuke-kun, the fact he had never realized this before utterly baffled him.
Over to his other side he could see his other teammate, Sasuke, trapped within a cage of... mirrors? Either way, the Uchiha looked like he was on his last leg and it was taking all he had to continue dodging the Hunter-nin's senbon.
'Oh look, the mighty Uchiha needs saving.' Naruto scoffed mentally. 'I should just let the teme suffer, let's see how his giant ego saves his emo ass.'
Naruto chuckled to himself but froze a moment later at the dark path his thoughts had taken, something was different. He had never before harbored such dark thoughts, of couse he had contemplated revenge many times but mostly his plans only went as far as a malichious prank or trick, now however he was contemplating murder or at least standing by and watching his team get murdered.
Something had definitely changed.
'Now that I think about it, my thoughts seem clearer as well.' Naruto realized.
Even as he thought this, he found himself already cycling through a list of possible reasons his mind would be altered, never before had he thought so fast and clearly. What was going on?
"Consider it a gift mortal, the power of Geass requires a level head and clear thinking, traits that you sorely lack." A voice whispered within his mind, causing the blond to jump in surprise. "Until now."
'K.K?' Naruto asked with a furrowed brow.
He received nothing but silence in reply.
Shaking his head and shuffling his worries off to the side, Naruto refocused on the figures on the bridge.
Off in the distance, he could vaguely see two figures clashing against one another and while the mist made it near impossible to make out any features, he was sure that the one swinging what looked like a giant blade was Zabuza.
'Hmm, everyone seems busy, what do I do? I could let the teme die,' A small smile graced his lips before it turned into a frown. 'But the bloody village and council will probably blame me for his death and there's no way I'm strong enough to take on an entire village of trained killers, not yet at least.'
With a sigh, Naruto turned towards the ice/mirror prison thingy and rush to his comrades' help, at least the hunter-nin would be a good test for his new power, his Geass.
AN.
This one I really like but I found myself unable to continue it after some time.
This was going to be a smart/bloodline Naruto who want's to destroy Konoha. His powers were gong to be based on a mix of the Ghost Riders Penance stare and the Dojutsu from the Basilisk manga.
Penance stare: By looking into another's eyes, Naruto can force his victim to endure all the pain and suffering they have inflicted throughout their lifetime, both physical and mental. The ability can render the victim catatonic or can kill them depending on how much pain and suffering they have caused. Stats: 250m range, requires direct eye contact, located in his left eye.
Dojutsu: Naruto can redirect the homicidal intent of anyone within a certain range, causing them to maim or kill themselves depending on how potent their intent is. Stats: 10m radius, is expelled like a dome with Naruto at the center, takes a few seconds to reach its max range, located in his right eye.
