It had been about four months since the Uchiha Clan's massacre and an eight year old Sasuke Uchiha was sitting in his usual spot on a pier beside a fairly large lake. His blank eyes stared into the water as he continued to reminisce on the past and the memories connected with the very place he sat.

It was that place where he learned his very first jutsu, Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu, from his big brother whom he absolutely adored, the prodigy of the Uchiha and the heir to said clan. The one they exalted, the one who his father paid all his attention to, the one who ended up murdering him and their clan. Very ironic. (1)

He sat down as he continuously recalled the traumatic experience. He was still in disbelief, he still couldn't accept the fact that his brother would do something like that. However, he knew what he needed to do.

He would avenge his clan by killing Itachi. Then, and only then, he would be able to complete the second part of his life's goal.

That would be reviving his clan. However, that wouldn't be as much of a problem as there where so many girls in the village who would jump at the chance to revive his clan with him. The biggest thing he would have to worry about would be finding a strong enough kunoichi who could take care of herself and their children.

But Sasuke had only turned eight a few days ago and was too young to be worrying about that for now. For now his only worry would be to get stronger so he could kill Itachi and thus ensure the safety of the clan he would then start later on in his life.

Having decided his future right then and there he stood up and looked around.

"When did it get so dark? How long was I here?"

Suddenly he felt something. It was a sinister energy but it was so powerful. It was mesmerising and he had never felt anything like it.

It was drawing him towards it and suddenly he found his body moving without actually thinking. He kept taking step after step until he was at the edge of the Forest of Death.

He knew it was probably a very bad idea to go in but he could not stop himself, and just like that the young raven entered the forest by himself.

In the dark forest a figure could be seen swiftly moving around. The figure had long black hair that touched her waist. She wore a tattered white kimono with an orange flower petal design scattered along the hem and sleeves. It had what looked like an opening on the left side, as her leg was made visible there, and was held together by a pale orange obi with a bow at the back. It was quite a beautiful kimono and looked quite expensive what a pity it was so torn and dirty.

The person had extremely pale skin and three whisker marks graced her cheeks. She was tall having a very curvaceous figure and a fairly large bust. While her figure was something that would attract a lot of attention, the most alluring feature was her unnatural blood red eyes that seemed to glow in the dark. (2)

This was in combination with the necklace around her neck. It looked like a crystal and was glowing a bloody red. (3)

Though her appearance was fairly unusual, it was nothing to bat an eyelash at. It was the many limp male bodies surrounding her and the large blood stains on her skin and clothes that would raise much concern.

This, anyone could argue was probably the result of a bloody battle, which was fairly normal in the shinobi world and is understandable necessary in order to survive.

Well, that would be the case if not for her skin being completely devoid of any scars to imply a fight and the blood stains on her face, implying that she had either eaten these men or sucked the dry of their blood, the latter being more likely as the bodies where still present and in tact. (4)

She was currently about to head back home when she sensed someone coming. They were definitely a male and she couldn't be more ecstatic.

"Ooh this is so exciting!"

She stood calmly as she waited in the shadows for her prey to arrive and then she would pounce.

"Like a true fox indeed!" Her tenant thought feeling proud.

~o0o~

Sasuke had been wandering through the forest for what felt like hours. He was longing to reach the source of the amazingly divine feeling and his body refused to stop until he got to it. He was like a starving child trying to get to an all you can eat buffet. He was starving and this sensation was the only thing that could satiate this craving.

He continued on with his journey until he finally arrived at his destination.

His desire was finally satisfied however if you were to ask him if he would actually want this again he would kick and scream no.

The scene before him was a familiar yet strange scene and something he would give any amount of money to never see ever again in his life.

There surrounded by practically a mountain of bodies stood a tall, bloody woman. And by the looks of it she enjoyed the blood of men. While not yet a man, the little boy didn't feel like his age would make a difference to this woman who by the looks of what he was seeing had a large appetite. (5)

That is when it finally clicked.

He had walked into a trap and the mesmerising feeling he followed was sent off by this crazy looking woman.

That's when he had a feeling he hadn't felt since the Uchiha's massacre.

He was genuinely scared for his life.

~o0o~

"Oh what's today's catch?" The woman's silky voice called. "The last of Konoha's Uchiha Clan just walked into my trap? Maybe I'll kill this one."

"Then that cursed clan will finally be eliminated!" Her tenant added, making her laugh.

Sasuke felt chills run down his spine. Her voice would be so calming and soothing had this been any other situation. He wanted to run and scream but his body wouldn't allow him to move. He swallowed the growing lump in his throat.

"Aww, how precious! Our darling Sasuke-Kun looks so scared! The look on your adorable little face makes me so tingly on the insides!" She practically purred her words. Sasuke felt like he was about to piss his pants and honestly dying was better than listening to her speak.

"Your blood must be so delicious!"

Sasuke stood in the same place as the woman walked towards him with a menacing smile on her face. Sasuke felt like he was going to cry.

He closed his eyes hoping that this was just a dream and he would wake up in the room and his mom would come and hug him and comfort and remind it was only a nightmare.

"Please if there is a God out there, please let me wake up from this nightmare!"

This hope however was crushed the moment he felt a sudden pain on his neck. It was excruciating and he had never felt anything like it. He let out a pained scream as his eyes shot wide open.

His eyes looked to the left side of his neck where the woman had sank her teeth into. Her eyes were closed and she looked to be enjoying his blood. Tears streamed down his face as he held onto her shoulders to keep himself from falling.

Just when he was sure she wasn't going to stop and he came to the conclusion that he would die, she removed her fangs form his neck and he let go of her shoulders.

Sasuke looked at the woman in pure horror as he fell to the ground. He was about to get up and run until he heard her speak.

"Ara~ara. Saiai your blood is delicious. Ah I can't make someone with blood this delectable die, now can I?" (6)

Sasuke stared at her incredulously.

"She is letting me survive?"

"If someone like you were to die, I'd never have blood this luscious again." She knelt down to caress his face as Sasuke stared back up to her in a mix of confusion and fright.

"I can sense your confusion Saiai, but don't you worry your pretty little head we'll see each other again very soon." And with that she disappeared.

Sasuke let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He quickly stood up and headed straight towards the direction he came from. On his way home he remembered the words she spoke.

"..we'll see each other again very soon.."

"Heh.. as if I'll ever let her see me here again." He thought as he quickly headed back to his home. The Forest of Death wouldn't be seeing him again for a long time.

Have a good day or night wherever you are.

(2) - Naru doesn't actually look the way Sasuke described her in the story. She usually only takes this new form when hunting for her prey to satisfy her and Kurama's craving for blood. It's older looking than her actual face and she uses it to seduce male villagers to get their blood.

(3) - Her necklace is completely white when deactivated and blood red when activated. It allows her keep her changed forms and manifest Kurama in a physical form, whether in a human form or fox form. More of the powers of the necklace will be revealed later on and how she found it as well.

(4) - Naru has regular cravings for blood. She most times seduces her prey, knocks them unconscious then proceeds to drink their blood. She doesn't kill them often however she does use the power of her crystal to alternate reality and make them think it was just a dream and send them back home, similar to the Uchiha's Izanagi ability.

(5) - Narumi prefers the taste of a males blood. This'll be explained later on.
