Chapter 3. Black mask's and Chess pieces.

It had been at least three months since Naruto had gotten Sin. During that time Naruto had trained the boy, and trained him hard. Sin wasn't the skinny frail boy any longer, he frame was slowly building up, though since he was more fragile then Naruto, being human and all, Naruto had to be careful in what tasks he gave the boy.

Though Sin did show much promise, he was also very smart and did exactly what Naruto told him to. This pleased Naruto, knowing he had such control over him, no matter if it was to take a blow or give one, Sin did it. Naruto had a feeling that if he told the boy to jump off a bridge Sin would never bat an eye and do it.

But all Naruto had to do left was install that cold killer in him.

This game was fun.

"Sin" Naruto said.

"Yes Master?" Sin replied, stopping what he was doing. They were in the house, and Naruto was resting on the couch while Sin was in the Kitchen, cooking, or at least trying to.

Ever since Naruto had started to train the boy, Sin had started calling him Master, saying that since he was his master, in the battle field and outside it, that is what he should call him. Naruto hadn't tried to stop the boy, if that was what he wanted, then who was he to stop him? But he had told Sin that in front of others it was to Naruto or nothing at all.

Of course, with Naruto's acceptance of his title as 'Master' Sin had taken it upon himself to take care of the house and all the things it required. Cleaning, cooking, washing, and any other things that he thought needed doing at the home. Though he still had a ways to go before he improved, he was slowly getting better, so Naruto wasn't going to complain if the food was burnt of if his clothes were still damp.

Naruto looked over at the boy as he stood before him. Sin looked calmly at his Master as his eyes raked over him. He hoped he met with his approval.

"Sin, I have decided two things. One, we will go out and have a little fun after dinner, and two I shall discuss with you later after our fun has been had." Naruto grinned, showing his deadly fangs in the lamplight. Naruto never wore his fake from in front of Sin, Sin felt honored by that.

"Yes Master" Sin said bowing before Naruto before he rushed back to his dinner so he could stop it before it burned any more.

Sin grumbled as he pushed his hair out of his eyes again. The problem with long hair was that it got in your way, but there was no way that he would cut it, so he would just have to learn to deal with it.

"Here" Naruto said, his hands coming out of nowhere to pull Sin's hair back and then tying something to hold it back.

Sin reached back and felt the bow. "Thank you Master" he replied, he loved it when Naruto paid special attention to him. He hated it when Naruto had to go to that stupid Ninja Academy; he was way stronger then anyone in that whole school. But Naruto had told him calmly that it was all part of his fun, so Sin had left the topic be.

'I wonder if he will tell me more of his game' Sin thought as he served the food onto the plates beside him. He grimaced at the burnt fish, 'well at least I didn't burn the rice.' He thought, though Naruto would still eat it, he had before. At first Sin has felt ashamed to serve such stuff to his Master, but Naruto had just smiled and patted his head,

Saying, "The best were never the best when they started" and would continue to eat his food. This just made Sin love him even more, so he would do whatever his Master, whatever Naruto, wanted him to do.

Even if it meant following him into hell itself.


When Naruto was done eating he went to his room, leaving Sin to wash the dishes.

Sin was just about done when Naruto came back carrying wrapped boxes in his hands. Sin's mouth gaped in shock when Naruto gave the boxes to him, he wasn't quiet sure what to do with them, so he decided he would admire his first gift's ever.

Naruto said nothing as Sin seemed to stroke the boxes, feeling the smooth paper and the puffy bow on top of them. After giving them a through petting, Sin careful opened the box, dealing with it as if it was an egg, and would surely shatter at a clumsy movement.

Inside the first box, covered with white tissue paper, was a black wolf's mask like what the Anbu wore, with red streaks under its eye holes, adding to the fierceness of it. Below it were some kunai, the knives gleamed in the light. Their metal pure, untainted by anything. Sin quickly opened the second box, looking at the soft black cloak inside, it was very soft to the touch, and he reached in and gently rubbed the fabric against his cheek, savoring its softness.

"Do you like them?" Naruto asked smiling as he watched Sin open his gifts.

"I-I-I they are wonderful beyond compare. T-t-t-hank you Master" Sin bowed his head at Naruto. Oh how he loved his Master.

"Good, they are to help us with our fun tonight. Now put those on and be ready to leave when I am done changing, understood?" Naruto asked as he walked towards his room.

"Yes Master." Sin said, bowing.

'What fun does the Master have planned, I wonder?' Sin thought as he quickly put on his cloak and mask, it was a little big, but he would grow into it. He strapped on the knives and looked up as Naruto came back, wearing a similar outfit, only his mask was different.

A fox stared at Sin, its mouth in a twisted smile, which seemed to be happy yet ready to kill you in the same breath. It suited Naruto to a T.

"Are you ready?" Naruto asked as he pulled on his gloves, testing them before pulling his hood up and covering the golden hair behind the mask.

"Yes Master" Sin said, pulling his own hood up.

"Then lets go" and with that, Naruto leaped out the window.


Then traveled for a while, jumping from roof to roof quickly, Naruto seemed to be looking for something. Not that Sin would question where his Master was going, he was just curious is all.

'kit, he is very near…I can feel the chakra that you put in him getting closer…" Kyuubi said to Naruto.

'Perfect, time to teach my pupil ruthlessness' he smirked behind his mask.

Naruto suddenly stopped, and Sin barely avoided crashing into him.

"Here" was all that Naruto said before he looked down into the alley. Sin did the same as well, looking down and seeing a group of men walking into the alley.

"Do you recognize them Sin?" Naruto asked. He wasn't looking down anymore but was standing behind Sin; he looked over his shoulder at his Master. Then the clouds moved, revealing the moon as it gave off it's beam's of pure white, landing on Naruto, but it just made the mask seem darker, as if the evil grinning fox was eating the light, absorbing it and becoming stronger. The eyes that stared out of that mask were red.

"Yes, they were the ones hurting me before" Sin replied, he doubted that he would forget such people.

"What a good memory you have Sin" Naruto smiled, though Sin could see it, he could hear it in his voice, the eyes were blue now. "Do you have any idea what I want you to do?" Naruto asked, slowly walking to Sin. He looked down and saw the men were almost to the middle of the alley.

'Perfect' he thought.

"No Master." Sin said.

"We are going to kill them, not all at once mind you, but two for now, and when the others run, we will watch to see where the mice will scurry to and have more fun later on with them." Naruto almost purred the words.

"So get started, let's see if I have not made a mistake in saving you and training you." And with that said, Naruto pushed Sin off the ledge and watched as he went over the side.


'How do you think the whelp will do…?' Kyuubi asked.

'No idea, but I have to start somewhere, otherwise, I have no need for him' Naruto said, watching from above to see what the boy would do.

'Have you taken into account of the fact that he is very young and that this will be his first killing ever? Let us not forget the lovely detail of him being raised with the foolish idea that killing is bad…' the demon fox said.

Naruto looked up at the moon, thinking over his reply, 'that may be true but… he is young, much easier to train than someone older, so that should make things easier to take care of. Plus, once he gets a taste of blood on his tongue, he'll never be the same. I mean, wasn't that how it was for me?' Naruto grinned.

'Ha ha ha' the fox chuckled darkly, 'very true, if one was never meant to taste blood, it would be you. You seemed to savor that taste, but when you fill your craving, instead of satisfying it, it just grows stronger…so let us watch and see what the boy does. Will he rise or will he fall? Kukuku, your games are such fun kit…' the Kyuubi murmured.

'Aren't they?' Naruto chuckled too as he looked over to see how Sin was doing. He knew the kid was in over his head, but circumstances can bring out the best or worse in people.


As this was going on with Naruto, Sin had managed to turn over in time and land on his feet, remembering to bend his knees to help with the shock as his legs jarred from the fall. The men stopped and looked at the boy who was before them; he looked funny in his mask and black cloak.

"Oi, boy. It is too late for little kids to be playing Anbu's and Ninjas. Run on home to your momma." The others laughed at the man's words.

Sin clenched his fist before reaching to pull out one of his new kunai.

"I would, but she's dead, not that she ever wanted me." Sin said as he took up a fighting stance. "But that's neither here or now. I am here to kill you bastards" he growled out.

The men just laughed at this before Sin could react a Kunai was thrown at him, he barely dodged it.

'Idiot! Don't get cocky, you don't want to fail Master do you? Focus!' Sin thought furiously to himself, if he died now what the hell would have been the point of everything then?

Sin just shook it off, but his hands shook a little, though his grip never loosened.

"Oh look, the little runt is scared." The men just laughed.

Sin snapped and threw the knife, getting the man in the arm.

The man looked at the wound, as if shocked, "you little shit! You actual fucking cut me!" he yelled before pulling the kunai out and advancing on Sin.

Then the man grabbed Sin before he could get out of his reach. He stabbed Sin in the arm and Sin held back his cry of pain, but each second it throbbed painfully.

"not fun to be stabbed is it you little bastard?" the man pulled the mask off and looked at the boy underneath it as he bit his bottom lip to hold back his cries.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the trash. Aren't you supposed to be dead? I thought we had beaten you to death. Oh well guess this just means we just have to finish what we started huh?" the man pulled the kunai out of Sin's arm and pulled his arm back, ready to give the killing blow.

'He's really going to kill me' Sin thought with a little shock. 'I can't die; I'm not ready to die. Naruto needs me, and if I die who will help him with his dream? Would Naruto let him die?' Sin wondered. Then he remembered a conversation him and his Master had had during a spar.

-Flash back-

"Sin why do you think I am training you now?" his Master had asked as they fought.

"So I will be strong!" he had said proudly.

Naruto had chuckled at this, "yes to make you strong, but also, when the time comes your body, if not your mind, will know what to do in a fight. I am not here to protect you Sin; you are here to protect me. I won't have someone weak by my side. Remember that." And with that Naruto had charged at him.

-End flash back-

'I will become strong!' Sin reached behind him and pulled out another kunai and before the man realized what Sin was doing, stabbed him in the throat.

Sin felt the mans hot blood hit his face, he felt a strange feeling wash over him as the mans grips suddenly weakened and Sin slipped out of his grip as the man fell face first onto the ground.

He felt the blood roll from his cheek to his lips before he wet his lips, tasting the blood.

It was bitter.

The other men seemed in shock over what had just happened. This, this, kid had just killed a man.

Sin looked down at the man at his feet, his blood was pooling around the body as it cooled and the soul left behind its empty shell.

'That could have been me...' Sin thought.

His fist closed tightly over the kunai in his hand, he reached down and picked up his fallen mask putting it on, a feeling a coldness seeped into his soul as he wore it.

'If I killed once, I can do it again.' And with that last thought Sin walked towards that other men.


Naruto was grinning; feeling the smile almost split his face in half. 'That went better then I thought it would!'

'Looks like you don't have to go looking for another toy…' the fox smirked.

'Yeah, looks like it. That would have been annoying to say the least' Naruto rested his chin upon his hand, looking down as Sin walked towards the men.


'The men actual fear me' Sin thought with awe. He saw as they took steps back as he got closer. It was a heady for the young boy who just had his first kill.

As he got closer, he heard a voice whisper in his head, 'enough Sin, you have done well.'

'Master…?' Sin thought, he tilted his head to the side.

'Who else?' the voice smirked.

'Alright, what do you want me to do?' Sin asked.

'Nothing for now, just tell them that the fox wants to talk to them.' Naruto replied happily.

"The fox wants to talk to you." Sin said, standing before the group of men.

"Who the hell is the 'fox'!?" one yelled.

"Me." The men looked at another boy who seemed to seep out of the dark shadows, his evil fox face gazed at the men, unnerving them when they couldn't see his eyes. Some thought they didn't want to see this fox's eyes.

This strange person seemed to skip over to the boy in the wolf's mask, and then patted the boy on the head.

"Good job Sin, I am very proud." The fox boy said this before he turned back to the men grouped in a corner of the alley, unable to get away.

He tilted his head to the side as he slowly walked over to them. "You are all bad men, so you will all die. Doesn't mean I wont have fun with you first." He chirped.

Suddenly he was gone.

"Who wants to die first?" they quickly turned and saw the boy behind them, head still tilted. The men startled, started to quickly back away, before they heard the same voice behind them.

"Well?"

The men looked back and forth, 'how can there be two?' they franticly thought. The wolf just stood watching for now.

"You" the man that was pointed to was quickly isolated as the other men backed away from him as if he held a disease. The man could do nothing as the fox walked up to him, and before he knew what had happened, he was stabbed in the heart. Then the fox was dancing with the corpse, a little awkwardly mind you, seeing as the man was bigger then the fox, and well, he was dead.

The men's eyes were wide with shock. The fox pulled the knife out and the group watched as the dead man rose from the ground. He seemed unharmed, the spot where he had been stabbed looked completely healed and if it wasn't for the blood on his shirt you would have thought that he was fine.

But his eyes, the light was completely snuffed out.

The men backed away from him, the dead man seemed puzzled by this.

"What's wrong guys?" he tilted his head like the fox, who stood behind him, moving it from left to right.

"How the hell are you alive!?" one screamed.

"Oh is that the problem? Well you see, the reason I am up and about is because, well, I am dead." He was grinning; the look didn't fit the man at all, making him look evil.

The men looked at the fox and some gasped in fear as the saw devils eyes looking back at them, the red standing out in the darkness of the mask.

"Well who wants to die next?" the man smiled once more, pulling a kunai out.

"Don't kill me!"

"I don't want to die!"

"Well give you anything you want!"

So many voices, so little time.

The fox walked forward, "what do you have to barter, your souls? Your wife and children? Or your mistress's and money? What do you have to barter?"

Sin listened to the men offer everything they could think of, food, money, women, weapons, what ever the men could think of to appease the demon before them and hold off death a moment longer.

One man was actual foolish enough to get on his knees before Naruto.

"Please don't kill me! I have nothing to do with them! Spare me please!" he bowed before the demon fox.

"Raise your head mortal" this voice was completely different then before, deeper and much rougher.

The man looked up with hope in his eyes.

"I am god, and gods don't take orders from mortals" the man's head was cleanly taken off.

Naruto was having so much fun, who knew making men scream and cry would this enjoyable? But Kyuubi was right in saying that Naruto should never have tasted blood, it seemed to go straight to his soul, staining it a shade darker.

The man's head rolled onto the floor as his body slumped to the ground.

Naruto could hear Kyuubi practical purring in delight of the death before him. Naruto wasn't the only one who had a taste for death.

"Well I think I will let the rest of you go for now." The other Naruto behind them, which they had forgotten, knocked them out. They lay sprawled on the ground.

"Master, why are we letting the rest live? Won't this be a risk factor to us?" Sin asked, wondering what thoughts were running behind that mask.

"Because they will think it was all a dream" Naruto did some hand symbols and there were two poof's before the two dead men stood before them, unharmed or at least that was what the men were suppose to think.

"You will gather information for me, and report their actions and movements. When the time is right I will have you kill them. Understood?" they both nodded their heads. "Get rid of these bodies, buy some sake and drench them in the stuff. That is all." Naruto tossed them some money and walked over to Sin.

"Lets go" and off the went to their home.


"Master… what is this 'game' you speak of so much?" Sin asked as he sipped his tea, his hands were still a little shaky. His arm was bandaged from the wound, his Master had told him that by tomorrow, that there would be no proof it had even happened at all.

"Well, I like to think of it as…chess I guess you could say. We are the black pieces, reacting to the actions of the white pieces, but like I am sure that you know, we can still win. So in my eyes you are a pawn, remember that, always in my control. I will use you in whatever way I want, never forget this. But I am looking for someone to stand beside me in battle and hold their own, so maybe you can be the queen who guards her king, giving their life up for them without hesitation, but also killing many as well. This lonely world is broken, so I might as well pick up the pieces it has left behind and mold them to my liking."

Naruto watched Sin's hands shaking.

"Better his blood on your hands, then yours on his. Always remember that." With that said, Naruto got up and went to bed.

Leaving a boy to wonder the ways of this lonely broken world.
