Saturday, October 10th

A trio of teenaged idiots were trying to brutally kill a nine year-old boy.

One of them kicked the child into what looked like a pool of red-and-black filth.

The boy, Naruto, blacked out.


He heard a voice, seeing into his mind, his heart, every fiber of his very being…


The pool disappeared, spreading over the child's body, covering him in a patternless red-and-black suit.

Once he was fully covered, Naruto's eyes looked like large white flames, and he now had long, pointed teeth.

Getting up, Naruto asked, in a high-pitched voice, "What color do you bleed?!" as the 'suit' formed into razor-sharp talons that he used to shred the fools' bodies.

In this manner he killed two of them, and for the third…

He gripped the terrified young man tendrils and drew him into the 'suit', eating away at him, draining away all of his life force before hurling him back into the open alley.

The boy-monster seemed to dissolve into a liquid, moving away, and Naruto was found asleep in his bed the next morning…

"Iruka-sensei, where's Naruto-san?"

"I'm not sure, but I'll have to count him as late if he doesn't show up soon."

Right then, Naruto burst through the door, seemingly out of breath, but with a huge grin on his face.

Capitalizing on everyone's shock, he said, "Speak of the devil; he's sure to appear."

Previously, Naruto had been rather shy and withdrawn (odd, considering that his closest friends were Kiba, Choji, and Ino), but now he was practically roaring like a dragon!

Another drastic change turned out to be his apparel: instead of his grey/white pants/longsleeved shirt, he wore black shorts, with a red-and-black shirt.

Going to his seat with a complete look of utter confidence, Naruto briefly prepared for that day's oral exam—and practically destroyed the questions.

All things considered, he seemed a completely different person.

At the end of the day, just as everyone was leaving, Ino asked, "Naru-kun, how'd you change? I mean, I think it's for the better, but still…"

Kiba added, "Yeah, Akamaru says you smell different, too!"

The small puppy barked in agreement.

Naruto slung his bag over his shoulder, shrugged, and said, "Don't know what to tell ya. Must be somethin' in my blood, I guess."


Once Naruto was asleep in bed, the red ooze from before covered his body like a blood-red suit. Then, 'it' climbed out of bed, before seemingly melting and dripping away.

It moved, seeping through cracks in the walls, until it reformed on the roof, and turned back into the 'suited' Naruto.

Now in the open air, it began leaping among the rooftops, seemingly searching for something…

A pair of ANBU noticed him, and realized that his speed and agility were, in fact, at least at their level.

"What shall we do, Captain?"

"We'll follow him for now, see what he's up to. But that's all."

The ANBU breifly tailed 'Naruto', although they didn't know just who—or what—he actually was.

Suddenly, the ANBU lost him! Just as they were about to contact more units, he actually ambushed them from below, his right arm extending into a clawed grapple before pulling the subordinate into a pose perfect for snapping her neck.

"Why do you chase me?" he asked. There seemed to be two voices, although it also sounded like a single, high-pitched wail.

The captain, named Daisuke Serizawa, truthfully and calmly said, "We saw you leaping across the rooftops, and—"

"We get it, just don't bother me again!"

With that, the 'creature' let go of the lieutenant, leapt off the roof, and disappeared.

"Kiriko, are you all right?"

"I feel kind of… drained, but I'll be fine, Sir."


Finally posted. Here are some of the coming character changes:

Sasuke = Punisher

Lee = Hulk OR Green Goblin (still a good guy, though)

Tenten = Hawkeye

Yakumo = Dr. Strange OR Mysterio (I'm not sure yet)

OC on Naruto's team = Electro!
