Boy, that was pointless.
Anyways, DISCLAIMER:
If I owned them, wouldn't Sasuke and Naruto be an official couple by now? They're not? Well, then, I don't own!
Pairings: SasukeNaruto, KakashiIruka, LeeSakura, InoShikamaru, GaaraOC (NOT a Mary Sue), and maybe more later.
There was a time not too long ago when humans and demons warred over something the humans did not understand. The humans had ignorantly built their hidden villages over places held sacred to demons, desecrating them. While the demons could have stood their intuding into their territory, they would not stand for their holy grounds to be ruined by ignorant humans. Hoping to scare them off, they attacked and killed many. The humans- hurt and confused- retaliated. Thus, a great war between ninja and demons stared. A few ninja villages sank into oblivian while others stayed to fight to the bitter end. On the battlefield, soon only Sand and Leaf stood against the might of the demon leaders. The nins of Konoha and Sand fought proudly and courageously and killed many demons, just as they themselves were being killed.
This is where the story starts. A story of war, blood, and death, but also joy, love, and rebirth.
The Nine-Tails paced about his chamber, waiting for news from his second-in-command - Shukaku. They, being the most powerful of demons, had been called to duty as generals.
A knock came at his door.
"Come in." Kyuubi growled. The door opened, revealing Gaara, Shukaku's human form. In the presence of Kyuubi, Gaara transformed into his demon self, known only as Shukaku because- in the demon world- names weren't important. Only power was, so names given at birth were usually quickly forgotten.
"What happened?" Kyuubi asked. "We've lost more soldiers, haven't we?"
"Yes." Shukaku said. "Our spy was passed misinformation because they suspected him of being a demon spy. He sent our men to the most protected area of the village- he sent them into an ambush and was shortly after killed by the humans that had tricked him." Kyuubi sighed in exasperation.
"Can't anyone properly infiltrate Konoha and Sand? With them gone, we will once more have our holy grounds! We lose more and more men everytime we send an inferior officer."
"Perhaps we should go ourselves them." Shukaku said. "I'm getting bored with this waiting and I never get to fight."
"You're right. The human leader is stationed in Konoha- it's only fitting that I take that job. You will go to Sand. You already know what to do." Shukaku nodded, transforming into his human self.
"Yes." Gaara said, exiting the chamber door. Behind him, Kyuubi also transformed into a small blond boy with bright blue eyes.
"Let's go." Naruto said, smirking, then disappeared to the gates of Konoha.
Gaara strode up to the gates, absently noting the guards and dismissing them as no threat.
"Halt! State your name and business here." one shouted- a man of about thirty, lightly scarred on his face and with messy brown hair. Gaara glanced at him sideways.
"Gaara. I've been sent from Konoha to assist you." he lied easily. Everytime they had sent a demon to pose as a guard they were let in without question. It was not to be so this time.
"Demons have recently come and posed as guards- what's to say you're not a demon?" the other guard asked. A woman, Gaara noted with some surprise. She had no scars, but black hair and couldn't have been more than twenty.
Gaara frowned, glaring at the woman. He knew perfectly well he had no proof of him being a shinobi. The woman met his stare evenly, though he could see a small hint of fear behind her eyes- she was just slightly intimidated.
"If I best one of you in battle, will that convince you?" Gaara asked.
"It might show us that you're strong, but it won't help us convince us you're not a demon." the man said.
"Then take me at my word." Gaara said, intensifying his glare.
"We can't do that, but we can take you to the Kazekage. He can decide if you should be allowed to... 'assist' us in the war." the woman said. "When we do let you inside the gates, you must swear not to harm anyone inside. We'll also take your weapons." Gaara nodded. It was no big deal for him to lose the metal weapons he had brought- a few of the small knives that the nins he had fought referred to as kunai, a few needles, and one long sword. No one would think to relieve him of the heavy gourd of sand on his back- they didn't think of it as a weapon, even though he was deadliest with the sand.
The gates opened. Gaara smiled.
'Mission accomplished.' he thought to himself, stepping inside the gates of Hidden Sand.
Naruto walked casually along the path to Konoha. He knew that it would be difficult to get inside- the humans might have caught on to how the demons were infiltrating and may have started to be more suspicious. Absently, he hoped that Gaara had gotten in with no problem. He and Shukaku went way back.
Before too long, he spotted the gate. He strode up to them confidently, but before he had taken more than five steps he was stopped by a rather large, sharp object pointed at his throat.
Naruto glanced up from the sword to the man holding it. The man had a thin face, but no scars and had black hair, tied back in a long ponytail.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" the man asked, suspicious. Naruto put on his best grin and replied happily.
"No need to kill me! I'm from Sand- they sent me to help out over here. Honest." he said, holding his hands up in a universal gesture of 'I'm not hiding any weapons, I come in peace.'. He could see that the man was confused, but the sword didn't drop.
"Why would they send a kid? Why aren't there more nins with you? They wouldn't have sent just one..."
"Well, there were more, but they all got killed by some demons. I managed to get away to warn you." Naruto lied quickly, praying the guy believed him. Fortunately for Naruto, the man was kind.
"Dead? How many more were there? How many demons? How close?" he asked. Naruto inwardly grinned.
'Sucker.' he thought.
"There were eight of us total, but three demons attcked- they were so strong! Our leader told me to run here to warn you, and I've been running ever since. That was three days ago. I haven't seen them since."
"Let's get you inside." the man said, marching Naruto over to the gate and nodding to his fellow guard.
Just like that, the two most powerful demons infiltrated the last safe places for humans.
A/N: Sorry if it seemed unrealistic, or confusing, or OOC. It's fanFICTION. Besides, the sooner I get through the beginning parts, the sooner we get to the good bits! Please tell me if I misspelled anything or if there is a glaring plothole already. (Probably won't be, only 1st chapter, but ah well...)
