Okay, I'm going to be doing the Kyuubi-Fugaku fight in this chapter, now, the only fire-style techniques that Fugaku is incapable of performing are the Hi no Yaiba, Heru-hi, Kitsune-hi, and all the Akuma Sutairu(devil style) fire jutsus

Alright, in this bit I'm not going to do the Kyuubi-Fugaku fight yet, I'm going to mix in a few others of my stories first. Now, I will be appearing relatively soon, but this time, I'll be the only one using my techniques. Also, I'm mixing in The Fox, The Raven and The Cat raise hell into this with a few base differences, Rikou's full demon, and therefore was never shunned by the older Ravens, yugito has the nibi as she did originally, and there won't be any stuff from bleach, there will be the same concept, but the swords are all original names. Another thing, one of my techniques, one of the only 4 jutsus I have, will be Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Bloodmank. I created the concept of Bloodmank as an o.c. and a screen-name. You'll find out soon enough. Anyway, on with the show!

What if Some Things were Different?

Ch 3 – To Spot a Shadow-User…

"So, when do you fight Uchiha-teme Aniki?" Naruto asked, chomping down his breakfast.

"2 weeks from now, I'm eager to show that without their sharingan, uchihas are weaklings." Kyuubi said, polishing his sword. "Banpaia (vampire) is getting hungry." The sword was glowing a bit more violently. Kyuubi got up and put the sword on his back. "I'll be right back, I'm gonna go to that forest of death I've heard so much about. Sounds like a good place to feed Banpaia."

"Alright, just make sure you don't release too much of Banpaia's power, they might investigate thinking it's another demon, and that makes us more suspicious." Adarei said, putting away the pots she used to cook their breakfast as she finished cleaning them. "Be back with some meat for dinner by halfway to sunset."

"Sure, no problem, see ya otouto, kaa-chan." Kyuubi said, closing the door as he left.

"Okay Naruto, you'd best get ready to go to the academy. You'll have to leave in 20 minutes if you don't want to be late." Adarei said, Naruto heading upstairs and returning 20 minutes later in a clean copy of the previous day's attire with his sword on his back.

"See ya later kaa-chan, we'll see if Sasuke is as stupid as his father is arrogant." Naruto said, walking out the door, closing it behind him.

"Those boys are going to do something bad sometime soon, it's obvious that the villagers don't seem too happy with them having so much power. Bet they hate them for their going against the Uchihas. That's gonna be a fun part of our stay." Adarei said seemingly to herself, but she was speaking, directly at her shadow…

Konoha ninja academy, midday, after lunch break, Naruto and his classmates

"… and that is the basic theory behind fuinjutsu. Now, I would like to raise a point. How do you detect someone who gives off no chakra, sound, visibility, or smell?" the teacher now known as Iruka asked the class, getting confused looks from everyone but Naruto. A pink-haired sasuke-fangirl was the first to voice her confusion.

"Um, you don't, none of the senses needed for detection would work." Pinky, real name sakura, answered trying to sound smart. Naruto spoke for Iruka.

"Dead-wrong pinky." Naruto said, making Iruka raise an eyebrow. "You need to feel their presence, be able to tell when something isn't right." Iruka smiled warmly. Naruto spoke again. "Now that I know you're there, why don't you come out of the shadows?"

The rest of the class, save Iruka, looked at Naruto like he was crazy. A shadow appeared in the shape of a 6' tall teenager wearing pants and a hoodie with poofy hair appeared on the wall where the stairs led to. A person stepped out of the shadow, the shadow vanishing and the description being right on the nose save for the colors of the clothing. Poofy light-brown hair, black hoodie, blue jeans and white sneakers, plus a pair of glasses. He stood with a smirk.

"Nice detection skills there Naruto. I expected you to notice sooner however. Why didn't you say anything?" the teen said, having a voice only a little deeper than Naruto's own.

"Iruka-sensei was speaking. Besides, you don't emanate any malicious intent, why would I worry about you? You're actually giving off a friendly aura." Naruto explained, sasuke starting to get annoyed with Naruto gloating about useless skills.

"Moving on to something important, why are you being so friendly to that nobody?" Sasuke asked, arrogance getting the better of him.

"Because that nobody's older brother has the capability of giving me a good fight. Sword and all." The teen said, giving a grin. "My name's Rei by the way."

"Tch, if you're looking for a good fight, I'll take you on, you can even get special training after I beat you." Sasuke said, making Rei break down laughing.

"You?! An Uchiha?! Beat me?! Ah, whoever says morons have no sense of humor is a moron themselves. Run along sasu-gay, I don't have time for you." Rei said, turning back to Naruto. Sasuke didn't take kindly to being ignored. He began forming handsigns and took a deep breath. When he released it a thick stream of fire engulfed Rei. Sasuke released the jutsu with a triumphant smirk, seeing nothing but a black spot on the floor. However, he didn't notice that that same black spot was a shadow, and reformed into Rei, who continued talking to Naruto.

"So, two weeks huh? Glad I get to see it. Take it from someone who knows, this is gonna be funny." Rei said, Naruto agreeing. Sasuke was now furious. He glared with all his being at Rei, but Rei just turned and stared at Sasuke smirking. His retinas were blue with a ring of gray around the pupil. Sasuke could barely move. "Got somethin' to say Uchiha? Or do I need to show you more than just a light-stare?"

'This is a light stare?! I can barely move my eyes!' sasuke thought, amazed at this random teenager who seemed to be the embodiment of power.

"Exactly, this is just a light stare, I could give you a light glare, maybe knock you out for a couple days but you'd get to see it." Rei said, reading sasuke's mind. (Real mind reading is a completely random occurrence, and it is impossible to notice when it happens.)

"y-you read my mind! How did you do that?! I demand you tell me!" sasuke shouted, Rei gaining a sadistic smirk.

"I would tell you but…" Rei said, his eyes reflecting his cruelty, "that would be telling wouldn't it?" this got the desired effect as sasuke lunged at him making handsigns. He let loose a huge fireball. Rei moved out of the way with a smirk. "Predictable." Rei said tauntingly, sasuke throwing all his shuriken at Rei. Rei ducked under them. "Sluggish." Sasuke jumped at him and put all of his chakra into a drop-kick which Rei stopped with his fore-finger. "Weak."

"b-but, I put all my chakra into that kick! When I did that at home it smashed a crater 20 feet deep into the dojo!" Sasuke said, not believing it. Rei smirked, his hair shading his eyes.

"Well, the thing is," Rei began, shaking the hair from his eyes. "I am physically stronger than a chakra-powered punch from something with the strength and chakra of every Hokage and the three sannin combined, pushing all the chakra into the punch. There have only been five people to ever defeat me in a battle, and only one to defeat me in a taijutsu match."

"Who are the five?! If they could beat you they must be used for our clan!" Sasuke shouted, Rei smirking.

"The first was my leader, the second was the king of demons, the third was the king of hell, the fourth was the apprentice to the king of demons who won on a technicality, and the last one, and also, only one to ever defeat me in taijutsu, was the shinigami." Rei said, everyone looking at him in shock, except Naruto, who bowed in respect before him.

"Rei-sama, how did you get the chance to meet the king of hell?" Naruto asked, not rising.

"I married his descendant in an alternate dimension. The only person to ever defeat me more than once was the shinigami, and he only ever beat me twice. He hasn't beaten me in a year, and we've fought since then. I'm officially on par with the strongest warrior ever." Rei said, sasuke looking at him angrily.

"Well you're certainly not able to beat those five in shougi! You're an idiot! Why don't you train an Uchiha?! I am ripe and ready to learn your taijutsu style! Teach me to be as strong as the shinigami!" Sasuke shouted, Rei looking at him with his cruel smirk.

"You must pass a test, tell me, who do you believe is the strongest in this room, other than yourself, Iruka, and I?" Rei said, standing behind a table. "I will give you one hint, and Naruto will give you one hint. Now, I am going to tell you, that I taught my wife how to do everything I know how to do."

"I am going to tell you, that there is something else in the shadows." Naruto said, smirking at sasuke's understanding expression.

"It's your wife. The descendant of the king of hell, hiding in the shadows." Rei grinned happily. Sasuke assumed it was because he got the 'honor' of training an Uchiha.

"I was right," Rei began, sasuke feeling full of pride, "you got it wrong." Rei finished, revealing that he had his foot within the shadow of the table. "You see, I didn't specify what my hint was, or if it would be an easy to catch hint. You could've figured out that my wife was in the shadows if I pointed the conversation towards her, so I tricked you into thinking that I was talking about her. When in reality, your hint was 'and Naruto will give you a hint'. I wasn't saying that Naruto would help you, I was saying thinking of Naruto would give you a hint as to who it was. It was the sanbi no Kitsune in Naruto's zanbatou. The only way to figure it out would be to use your Uchiha arrogance to think that a girl couldn't be stronger than a demon and think it was what was in Naruto's blade, regardless of the apparent logic." Rei explained, his grin reverting to a smirk. "you assumed that you would have to think as if you were not an Uchiha, seeing as how all Uchihas know that death is where their greatness ends, and since I mentioned being able to beat the shinigami, you assumed that you would have to act as if you were already dead, when in fact, I played on that fact. In other words, I tricked you into giving me full control of how to get you to pass or fail, and since you allowed me to get that far, not even guessing correctly by figuring out what I was doing, you failed miserably." The class was in shock except for Naruto. This boy, who could be no more than 2 years their elder, had come up with an incredibly detailed plan on the fly. Even shikamaru had paid attention. Whoever this boy was, his sense of logic was far beyond his own understanding. He had twisted the way sasuke thought, played with his expectations, made him assume things, and completely squashed anything he could have comprehended as an answer by showing that he only took ingenious students. Rei smirked wider. "And to think that my leader was an idiot and understood it the first time I asked him the question. That doesn't say much for the Uchiha clan."

"You cheated! You messed with his head!" Sakura shouted.

"You're thinking that it was a test of intelligence, when it was really a test of trust. The point was not to let me mess with his head. The way I messed with his head was getting him to trust me, a complete stranger who may be lying simply to kill off an Uchiha, and therefore his failing my test. I only take on students who prove themselves worthy of what I have to teach them, only one coming to mind so far, and that was my wife." Rei explained. "Naruto, come on, I've gotta have a chat with your aniki."

"yes Rei-sama." Naruto said, leaving with Rei. 'It's kinda weird for him to be calling me Rei-sama when in Ari-Chan's world I would be calling him Naruto-sama. I kinda like it.'
