Jashin

Chapter 9: Memories and Desperation

Fire it raged everywhere. It's smokey smell suffocating him. Yet he did not care. All he cared for was the burning structure in front of him and the man kneeling on the ground before it. The time in which it had took to burn the house down had been numerous and tiresome. But it was for the greater good.

However, looking down upon Naruto who kneeled upon the ground as he stared helplessly into the flaming abyss that was his home, he couldn't help but wonder, was it worth it? Was burning an innocent woman, burning two children barely out of their years as toddler worth it?

Odin did not think so.

He could still remember when he first met Naruto. The boy was so cheerful, so full of hope and ambition. He was powerful and a force to be reckoned with and maybe that was what started their friendship. But as he stared down at the man kneeling on the floor he didn't see that person. No, he saw a broken man as he watched helplessly as his family died.

"I'm sorry Naruto, but it needed to be done. I hope you can understand." Odin spoke sadly.

"Understand?" Naruto spoke hoarsely as he choked back a sob. "I don't understand." Naruto turned around and stared at him. His eyes were lifeless and broken as feared flowed freely down his face. "Tell me Odin, why? Why did you kill them?"

"It had to be done for the greater good." Naruto stared at him before dropping his head. Tears soaking the ground as his hands dug into the ground.

"The greater good." Naruto repeated quietly.

Odin took note of the black flames that seemingly appeared out of nowhere. They rose and rose until the blanketed Naruto in an embrace akin to that of two lovers embracing.

"You killed them for the greater good." Cracks stared forming under the ground Naruto kneeled upon as his hands gripped tightly together. Lightning crackled around him as his hair started waving madly. "The greater good. What kind of a bullshit excuse is that?" Now doing knew something was wrong when Naruto spoke in his demonic voice. A voice he used when using the Biju locked inside him.

"Naruto calm down." Odin advised.

"Calm down." Naruto's head shot up once more allowing Odin to see his features. Gone were the blue eyes and instead replaced by a deep Crimson with a black slitted pupil, surrounding them was a deep sea of blackness. "Calm down." Whisker marks had become more prominent and jagged with fangs jutting out of the top of his mouth. "I'm perfectly calm Odin. Why wouldn't I be calm? It nots like you killed your wife or my children, is it? So tell me Odin. Why wouldn't I be calm?" Naruto spoke calmly, but Odin did not care as his eyes locked into the shining Crimson eyes of his friend that shone with such hatred it made him take a step back in shock.

Odin turned to the two guards that flanked him.

"Restrain him." The two guards ran forwards but as soon as they came close to him Naruto the ground cratered and Naruto seemed to look above them. His eyes widening in a threatened way. Hands unclenched and clenched allowing him to see his friends claws.

Shakily the two moved forwards once more, but after the second step they began screaming madly while clutching their heads in pain. Fire lashed out from the nowhere and wrapped around the two Asgardian soldiers.

Odin watched with shocked horror as the two soldiers began slowly melting. First the armour, followed by skin, then muscle and finally bone. It continued until they were nothing but a puddle on the floor.

"Anyone else?" Naruto stared harshly at the other Asgardian warriors and they all flinched away in fright. Then Naruto turned to face Odin once more. "Order your men to leave Odin unless you want to face unnecessary loses. For I will not hold back. I shall use everything I have to ripe you limb from limb. And when I'm done I'll piss on your bones and feed you to the pigs."

Odin stared at his friend before ordering his men to leave. They did so hastily as to get away from the raging demon known as Naruto.

"Naruto please stop this foolishness."

"FOOLISHNESS!" Naruto roared out in anger. "YOU KILLED MY PREGNANT WIFE! MY DAUGHTER, MY SON! AND YOU ASK ME TO STOP THIS FOOLISHNESS. NO, I'LL STOP WHEN YOU ARE DEAD!" With a roar fit for a beast and not a man, Naruto charged forward. A boom sounded as Naruto broke the sound barrier. Then Odin's world erupted in pain.

Odin woke up with a start. His elderly form drenched in sweat as he thought upon the dream. No, a memory. The memory of how his once best and only friend became what he is today.

Looking towards the balcony he saw the sun beginning to rise, a sign of a new day. Normally with new day came a new chance to right wrongs.

Deep down he knew no matter what he did, he could never right his wrongs, and for that reason he felt himself wallow in depression. He had been a fool. It haunted him seeing the betrayal, the hurt and most of all the anger in Naruto's eyes.

Sighing Odin got to his feet and began dressing himself.

Jarod knew something was wrong with his master. He had been quiet. Not touching or speaking to anyone, not even the female servants. Training had been more brutal, more demanding. Everything on his body hurt as he moved down the corridor towards his masters quarters.

They were still on the Helicarrier, but they were reaching one of Naruto's bases. A base he had made on his last visit to earth when his race was still alive.

His master had created over a hundred bases all over the world. All in key positions that would allow his forces the ability to output a constant stream of troops to attack and counter attack enemies. Defend against enemy assaults with minimal numbers.

Each based were designed the same defensively speaking.

The first layer of defence was the place in which it was hidden. Some where underground in barren wastelands. Overs hidden in high places that required aircrafts to reach.

The second layer were a more modern touch which had been added recently. Anti-aircraft guns were placed all along the outside of the base. Mines would litter the floor stopping foot soldiers and tanks from reaching them that way. To help add the effectiveness of the mines was a mist that Naruto had personally cast upon the area. These would mess up the metal detection devices which had been personal testified through a multitude of tests.

The third layer was multiple traps Naruto had used from his home world which would protect all entrances. Seals such as gravity seals which would weigh down upon the enemy. Only a minimum of ten times earths normal gravity which was the minimum that all of the Shinobi Naruto had been building up were accustomed too.

There was also gaps which were filled with spikes at the these was a Genjutsu seal that needed to be replaced every fourth-eight hours. There was few others.

After this the base would go into lockdown. Corridors would be blocked off by huge metal doors that required a great use of force to break through. Even Abomination was unable to break it down with a single punch. Dent it maybe, but it took him over an hour to break it down. By that point the defenders would be ready and waiting.

It was simple defence, but had proved quite a beneficial training regime for the Shinobi in training.

Coming to a stop at the door that belonged to his master Jarod knocked a few times before he heard his master say, "come in." Opening the door Jarod walked into the dimly light room. While most rooms were decorated to the bare minimum, the Akatsuki were allowed a few pleasantries such as paintings and what not.

Naruto's room was completely refurbished. Fit with carpet, one wall replaced by a window, a four poster bed and few drawers. A leaving area fit for someone of his masters stature.

Speaking of his master, the man was sat on the only sofa in the room. One hand resting on the backboard, while the other swirled a glass of whiskey. Stepping forwards Jarod began making his way towards Naruto.

"Sit." Naruto indicated to a chair across from him and with that Jaord sat down. "What is it you need Jarod?" Not once did his eyes move from looking outside the window and into the sky ahead of it.

"Our spies have picked up a lot of recent activity." Jarod placed down multiple files onto the coffee table. "Over a month ago, a Hydra project known as the Winter Soldier fought Captain Ameirca and nearly won, before retreating. We have spies watching him as we speak." Naruto did not make a sound or gave any indication of been interested.

"We have also managed to track down a Hydra base that holds five other Winter Soldiers all more skilled than the one which fought Captain America. All however are dead, but we have multiple scientists extracting parts of the blood in hopes of recreating the serum." Naruto's head finally turned around to face Jarod.

"Send in Sef, Ben, John and Susan to over see them been transferred to the Helicarrier." Jarod while confused on why Naruto wanted the dead soldiers he non the less nodded his head. "Is that all?"

"No, Magneto and the mutants under his command have agreed to join our cause."

"Excellent. Tell them to find more mutants and recruit them to my cause. He however is to stay low and prepare himself for the upcoming war to come." Jarod bowed lowly before excusing himself. Naruto did not turn around and instead stared out at the sky once more. His free hand clenching tightly.

Malekith leader of the Dark elves looked on triumphantly as he and his race were freed from their prison. He could feel it the cold crisp wind on his face. Finally. It felt good to be free.

His eyes locked onto the sky.

'Soon Master I shall help gain your revenge. You shall be ruler of the universe just as it should've been.' He promised. A cruel smile crossed his features as he and his race began preparing its armies. The Asgardians will rue the day that they betrayed his master. For his master was a powerful man, no God. Yes a God, a God that would kill everything in his path to gain revenge for those who wronged him. And he would be there beside as his master helping him to do so.

"Send out a messenger. We must reunite our forces with Lord Jashin." Malekith ordered to one of his people. The man bowed and quickly rushed off. Turning back round Malekith glared at the barren wasteland that was once his home world. 'We shall both have revenge Lord Jashin.'

A/N: There we are. Haven't updated this story in awhile so I hope you enjoyed it. So Malekith works for Naruto. Anyway I didn't know the exact timeline of when Captain America: Winter Soldier and Thor: The Dark Wolrd, (I think that's what it's called?) happened so I mixed it up. Also Captain America:Civil War as you can tell will not happen, but it will at the same time.

Hope you enjoyed.

If you did please leave a review so I know to continue.
