Okay, I know that my stuff is on hiatus and I understand if some of you are slightly pissed, but I have a very reasonable explanation, I have just finished my exams and had to focus on them for a while.
Bad news is that I have been reading soul eater, lots of soul eater, and well this just refused to leave my mind, it's infuriating.
Naruto finds the uncanny sword that contains the soul of masamune, what if the kyubbi could halt the process that made naruto face masamune for a good few years, in the end he will have to fight him, but not until he has had some training, naruto will become less outspoken and more reclusive, he will throw himself into training and techniques for the simple reason that if he doesn't then masamune will kill him.
This will not be a naruto/Hinata pairing for the simple reason that they would not go together, I am unsure of the pairing at the moment.
Oh yeah by the way Kushina will be alive in this, she will hate naruto in the beginning but when she learns that he isn't a demon she won't anymore, naruto will also have a sister and a younger brother, his sister will be the same age as him.
I don't really mind either one, there is however a set storyline that I will follow to the very end, it will be slightly dark but with a majorly light tone to it.

Naruto sat at the back of the class his blue eyes darting from place to place nervously; his hair was hanging limply in front of his face, his once vibrant locks had dulled and tarnished until they had all but bleached white from the stress of the past few years, endless nights of tossing and turning, nightmares that plagued his sleep and the scorn of the villagers plagued the waking hours.
His gaze flicked to the midnight black blade sheathed at his side, it was the cause for his nightmares It was the demon blade masamune, the kyubbi had only managed to slow down the controlling process, it would take another month before he would be forced to fight masamune for control of his soul, the blade and all of the souls that it had collected.
In exactly one month he would enter his mindscape and try to kill masamune, if he failed then the sword would claim his soul and move onto a new wielder and then repeat the process all over again, he refused to allow that to happen, he would not die.
"Alright, alright time for the team assignments."
Narutos eyes shot back to the front and fixed onto his teacher, iruka, naruto was friends with the chunin and often went out for ramen with him, it sort of helped that iruka had a hard time sleeping and so didn't mind dealing with narutos insomnia, he was friendly and easy to get along with.
Narutos eyes zeroed in on the small limp that iruka had and the notable absence of the other teacher mizuki, naruto didn't have anything against mizuki, he just didn't know him that well so his disappearance didn't really bother him too much, a soft chuckling reverberated around his head as he thought this.
"Ha, contempt for human lives, I'm proud of you little meister, perhaps being sealed inside of you will not be so bad after all."
Naruto didn't even dignify the beast with a response, yes he was grateful to the demon for slowing the blade and stopping it from taking over his body but he refused to pay him back by murdering people, it was just twisted.
"Team eight, shino abarume, naruto uzumaki and Hinata hyugga."
Naruto mulled this over in his head, with shino's bugs hinatas byakugan they would make an excellent tracking team, they must have included him to give them a combat edge due to his usage of kenjutsu, his job would be to eliminate witnesses, now all they needed was someone to provide cover for them.
"Their jonin instructor will be yuhi kurenai."
Naruto hummed at this, he knew kurenai, not on a personal level of course, but when he had told the hokage about what the sword really was he had also asked to look through the jonin roster, when he asked why naruto had told him point blank that if he lost to the blade then it would use his body like a puppet and kill as many people as it could and he simply wanted to know what jonin would be needed to take him down.
And so on it went, sasuke was stuck on a team with the dead last of the class some freaky kid called D-Roy Rinker, he had chessboard teeth and wore bandages across his massive shell like head, nuff said.
Also a pink haired little know it all was on his team, she was incidentally also his number one fan, she had a tiny chakra capacity but near perfect control, the makings of an excellent medic ninja, that is if she got over her obsession with sasuke and knuckled down to train in her shinobi career.
He was brought out of his musings when a tall woman with luscious raven hair wearing a dress that looked as though it belonged in one of the bandage boxes that the school doctor walked around with entered the room.
Her red eyes locked with his blue ones and a small smile appeared on her face, naruto cocked an eyebrow at this, maybe a sneer or possibly a blank look but an actual smile at seeing him, now that was unexpected, he watched her eyes move to the other two members of the team and then go soft when they reached Hinata.
"Hmm, must have a soft spot for the girl then."
"Team eight please follow me."
Naruto stood last and followed his team out of the building and down the road, he politely ignored the sneers and looks of disgust he received from the civilian populace and also ignored the many looks of pity or blatant ignorance from the shinobi population. When they finally arrived at one of the many training grounds scattered around Konoha their sensei motioned for them to sit while she did the same.
"well, now that we are a team I think that we should all get to know each other better, I will go first, my names is yuhi kurenai, I like evening drinks with my friends namely sochu, I dislike sexists and cake, I don't really have much of a hobby and my dream is to settle down with a family of my own someday."
She flushed slightly at the last part and then smiled at Hinata and said.
"Go on, you next Hinata."
As they all turned to look at Hinata she turned a bright crimson, after a few seconds of small croaks from the back of her throat she managed to stutter out her own explanation of herself.
"m-my name is H-Hinata hyugga, I like" her eyes shifted to look at naruto slightly and she grew even redder and began to hyperventilate
