Oto mo naku fumetsu(Soundlessly Immortal)

So i got a plot-bunny again, i really seems to be drawn to the emotionally stunted and broken ones :P

This one is just as much a what if as all my other ones, this one is about Naruto, what if he had ran away when he was very young and actually succeeded in doing so,

I though, hey maybe he could be come a samurai, the inspiration for his personality is a combo of majorly dark Soujirou from Log Horizon and the the rest represented by the melancholic young Himura Kenshin, there is an old saying about this articular type of personality, "an old man in a childs body" i believe :)

Something just drew me to that sort of setup, oh and i thought Nagi was a good cover name for Naruto.

Just so you know, the idea of the story is that he doesn't need anyone else, but that does so anyway, if for nothing else then to understand what he has lost (his emotions... kinda), well that and Naru(Nagi)'s real identity is not revealed to anyone other then a few, until the end that is(if even then).

The picture i got in my head clothing-wise is a combo of Soujirou's battle armor(and fighting-style) coupled with Kenshin's Choushu(bakumatsu) outfit and the armor of Uchiha Madara(matt-black instead of red).

I also thought that Soujirou's Divine Eye of Teachings looked awesome so i wanted to see what could be done with it, oh and Naru(Nagi) is on par with a kage without any chakra-usage, but with chakra he is much stronger, though do emphasize that he only got that strong so quick by sacrificing his emotions, it could be done in a talk between Sasuke and Kakashi about power and how to get it. :P

Thought of a funny scene where Tenten wants to see his Katana's, but get reprimanded by Lee for it, Lee understands that a sword is a warrior's most trusted companion.

Naru(Nagi) will at several points compare himself to a Youtou(Cursed Sword/Demon Blade), well with that much bloodlust and killing intent it's not surprising, though someone will point it out that he is very good at hiding it, even in battle, to the point that, unless you know that it's there, you would not be able to feel it, not even if you are very good at doing just that, they will only feel as if their body is cold, but once they can feel it, they should see it as a large mass of thick purple smoke coming off his body.

Hmm, it might be a good idea to start this around the wave arc, Naru(Nagi) should be 13 at that time, somewhat resonable for him to be that strong, as long as he has wandered from battlefield to battlefield, that could also be an opening to have Naru(Nagi) fight for Gato or at least for him to be hired by him.

His sword style should be named Kakosenka-ryu(Style of the Black Illusionary Flash Bloom, the name was though up after i saw a pic of someone standing in a field of black flowers, the scene reminded me of Kuchiki Byakuya(Bleach)'s favorite technique Senka(flashbloom), the style should induce just such and illusion after Naru(Nagi)'s opponent has been killed by one of the technique's, it could also be a question he asks at one point or another, about whether or not his victim(prey) was able to see the field).

Story-wise you can do what you want with it, well as long as you keep to the original idea, not sure what pairing would work here... hmm naruXshion... maybe, well it's your decision.
