禁断のスクロールの物語
Forbidden Scroll of Stories
Disclaimer: I do not own anything official such as characters, locations, powers, ect. from the NARUTO series. Masashi Kishimoto owns the series. On an added note, some of these one-shots are under crossover scenes, therefore in those crossovers; I do not take any ownership of characters, themes, and whatnot for when I do a crossover scenario. That includes fictional cameos, celebrity cameos, and real-world cameos. Remember that.
Author's Note: Hitobashira no Arisu is an interesting subject if you look it up. The song of it was made famous by the VOCALOIDs Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Len, Kagamine Rin, Meiko, and Kaito. Hm, I was given a challenge in the past about trying to replicate the story using characters from the show. I should try that sometime...
Hitobashira no Arisu (Alice of Human Sacrifice)
Naruto was being stared at as the three teams walked down the dirt path while guarding the Fire Daimyo and his daughter returning to their home in Tanzaku Gai. The reason was that Naruto was softly humming a theme, which for some reason had the rest of Team 7 8, and 10 a bit nerved due to how dark the tune sounded.
"Naruto..."
Naruto stopped and looked to his right. Doodling in a sketch pad was Uchiha Sasuke's replacement for about a year now: Sai.
"We have been listening to you hum to yourself once and awhile... what is this song you hum?"
Naruto blinked.
"Oh... nothing special," he said, "just a song I listened to last week and now it's kind of stuck in my head."
Sai nods and returns to his previous task.
"What... kind of song, Naruto?" Sakura questioned.
His back was still turned to them, but he smiled darkly. Then the Konoha-nins hear him sing.
Ichiban me Alice wa ishama shiku
Ken wo tatate ni Hoshigi no Kuni
Ironnamono wo kirisu tete
Maka na michi wo chiri iteita
Sonna Alice wa mo naoku
Tsumimito youni tochikomerate
Oni ni deki ta michi ga ei ni
Kano yono sei wo shirusubei wanashi
He giggled briefly, making Kiba flinch at how creepy the giggle sounded. Hinata however blushed. The Jōnin behind the horse-drawn carriage continued to stare at Naruto who continued to walk. The guards tried not to listen, but found themselves drawn to his voice.
Niban me Alice wa otonashiku
Uta wo utate Hoshigi no Kuni
Ironna oto wa furesasete
Kuru ta sekai wo uminashita
Sonna Alice wa bara no hana
Ikare to toko ni uchi korosarete
Maka na hana wo ichiri sakase
Minna ni medeare karete iku
Up ahead was a wooded area, where enemies waited in secret ambush.
Sanban me Alice wa oshenai ko
Kirei no sugata de Hoshigi no Kuni
Ironna hito madoresasete
Okashi no kuni otsukuri ageta
Sonna Alice wa Kuni no cho
Hibitsu no yume ni toritsukarete
Kuchiku karada ni nibi wo nakara
Kuni no cho tenni kurusuru
The leader held his hand up, as they heard the blonde ninja sing to a haunting tune-like voice.
Mori no ko michi wo todotei
Wara no kino shitade ocha tai
Oshiro kara shotaiyo wa
HEART no tokarudu
Suddenly springing from the surrounding trees came armed Ronin and petty bandits armed with spears or knifes, or even stolen ninja weaponry. They were going for the Fire Daimyo and his daughter, but the Konoha ninjas immediately retaliated, well all but Naruto who continued to sing while putting down thugs with an amassed Kage Bunshin. They were beaten back as Naruto sang.
Yonban me Alice wa futako no ko
Ko okishi kara Hoshigi no Kuni
Ironna tobira wo fukuri nukete
Tsuiseki yattekita gakari
Inushuyo ii ana to takishito otooto
Ichiban Alice ni chikan takedo
One guy who survived was knocked away by a strong punch by Gai and he crashed against a tree. But before he can go and round up the man, Naruto walked up, with a stolen blade from a dead Ronin, a creepy smile on his face. The man looked up in pain, and then screamed horrifically before the sword impales him through the skull. The others just stared in shock at the blatant disregard for the man's life. And he still sang that song that was stuck within his mind, the music only he heard echoing through his senses.
Futari no yume wa same ima ma
Hoshigi no Kuni wo sama yoka
The few bandits that were still alive stared at Naruto, before they turned the other way and ran for it, screaming, calling him a singing demon.
"Well... can we go? The faster we finish the mission the faster I can get back home."
"Naruto!" Sakura shouted, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"
Naruto craned his head, and gazed at Sakura.
"I'm just singing to Hitobashira no Arisu."
Then he resumes walking, humming to the song. Everyone was a bit nerved by Naruto's little dark mood swing, all but Hinata, who felt very hot for some reason.
