Naruto: The Legend Begins
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or God of War. Everything I publish is for fun and no money is being made by this!
A/N: Well there were a couple of grammatical mistakes in chapter 1 and I fixed them, sorry about that. I find naming chapters a hassle, so I hope you guys forgive me for that. On another note, I personally thank those of you who read my story and/or reviewed and/or added me to favorites, alerts and so forth. Im thanking because it was quite overwhelming for me and I hadn't expected so many people to read my story, let alone be impressed by it. Ok I think its time I stop my babbling lol :D
Previously:
"I am…I AM NOT A COWARD!" bellowed Naruto with renewed confidence and ferocity. He tried opening his eyes but found out that he could not. So deciding to use other means he used his mouth and asked his own question, "who are you? And Where am I?"
"You young one, are in…."
Now continuing:
Chapter 2:
"You young one, are in or rather were in your way to hell" seeing the shocked expression on Naruto's face the voice continued, "Worry not, because it is no longer the case. The time as you mortals call has been slowed. And as for your second question, you are neither in hell nor in heaven nor on Earth. This place is the place between Earth and Hell and is called Tartarus." The voice sounded almighty and filled with wisdom. It also sounded weary, implicating that the owner was an old person or in this case a god. It always seemed to speak in monotone, which seemed to sooth him a bit, but there was something that sent cold chills down his spine.
Naruto, seeing how he had more question was about to ask them when the he was interrupted by another voice, "Zeus, I think it is best we tell our warrior about ourselves and the reason for him being here." This new voice sounded younger than the first one, it seemed more tough and filled with fire. The voice itself made the temperature rise a bit. Seeing how it was Hades, the once-ruler of hell, it is quiet understandable; but Naruto doesn't know that. "Yes brother I was about to", answered the voice from before.
Naruto seeing how slow he is just understood the implication of their conversation, "So you two are brothers!!! And um, why can't I open my eyes? And once again who are you?"
"Our names do not concern you at the moment. You can't open your eyes, because we do not wish to reveal ourselves to you at least for now. Now speak no more and let me explain you the purpose of you being here."
"You see my brother here, who used to rule the underworld or as you mortals call it hell, has brought you here. The only way to do that was, stop your healing so you would go to a near-death state. Our powers are not what they used to be. You see young one, we were once gods and now have fallen from the heavens by the hands of a mortal. He waged war against us, using my own weapon, with the giants and defeated us. After that he condemned us to the same punishment we once condemned the giants to."
Naruto, as a knucklehead, gave a retort, "yeah, pft, you are gods and Im a hokage, and Sakura is my wife. Everything is just as it's supposed to be. Now untie me and let me go. Trust me you guys don't wanna face tsunade-baa-chan or any of my friends. Now lemme go so I can go and eat ramen!" He no longer felt comfortable and was starting to think of ways to escape and for now the only way out to him was to stall these guys and hoping that someone finds him soon.
Zeus during all this was starting to get agitated. He could no longer bear the mortal in front of him and used his lightning to create a thunderous boom and silenced Naruto. "Foolish mortal! Im widely known for my power, and if you wish to live another day and grow stronger, you will listen to what I say." Seeing how he had Naruto's attention he continued, "Now that you are attentive listen to what I say carefully. It has been ten thousand centuries since we were defeated and ten thousand centuries we suffered. We had lost our hopes and given up ourselves to our fate. Then one day something happened and the chains that bound us broke apart" he stopped and appeared to be in deep thoughts.
Sensing the queasy silence around him Naruto gulped and said, "um that is all good, but why am I here?"
"Ah, that's the question isn't it? Why indeed are YOU here?" countered Hades in his brother's stead. "Listen mortal and listen well, for when you wake up you will find strange things happening around you and you would do well to remember what I am about to say. Couple of things I will state before we get back to your question. First we cannot fight the Olympians or the giants because we have been stripped of our weapons and power that we had gained in our lifetime. Second, we still have the powers and weapons we were born with. So that means we will be able to help you a bit in your quest in helping us."
Listening to this new revelation about powers and weapons, Naruto's face took a giddy expression, like he was experiencing euphoria.
"Third, you will have to train the powers we will give you and anything else you think will aide you. Fourth, do not…I repeat DO NOT…engage a man named Kratos."
"Heh who the heck is this Krato guy, I can kick his ass. Bring it on!" exclaimed Naruto.
"Fool! Did you not hear what I said? Avoid him! Why? It's because he is the mortal sitting on the throne of gods. He was the one who defeated us. He controls time itself." Hearing this Naruto panicked and understood the situation "but if he can control time and he defeated you guys, then what can I do?"
"Well if you will allow me to continue then I will perhaps explain the whole thing?" Naruto nodded his head showing he was paying attention. "Ok as I was saying, you will receive help from us time to time. When and where I cannot say but suffice to say that you will. Secondly, you will be expected to complete certain tasks which will be dangerous, so if you want to quit now is a good time." Seeing as how the mortal did not back out, Hades continued, "Naruto that is all for now, we cannot hold you here any longer, as I said our powers are not what it used to be. You will know the rest when you wake up telepathically, do not concern yourself with its meaning. It means we will talk to you through your head. So if you hear our voices do not ignore them. Now comes the good part. We will send you back to Earth and when you wake up, you will find….
A/N: Ah don't we love cliffhangers? Ha-ha I know my cliffhangers are not that cool but Im trying to get good at it. This scene is my first shot at writing so many dialogues. So I hope you guys find it entertaining. Well that's chapter 2 for now. Once again, I don't know how long it will take for the next update. This is just an advance notification. So do not get agitated please. On another note: have a good day.
