Seven year old Uzumaki Naruto was currently inside of the Uzumaki compound.
He was wearing a headset and currently channeling chakra through them, into the wiring which powered the emergency speakers, and into the Hokage tower.
Why was he doing this?
It was simple. He was using this intricate system to listen in on a conversation between the Hokage, his two advisors, and Danzo.
He was currently in an underground chamber that was lit a shade of red. The sound of dripping water came and went as photos taken with a disposable camera developed.
He had taken these photos about a month ago when he infiltrated the Hokage Tower through the ventilation shafts. They were photos of different documents outlining Clan compounds and, more recently, an Uchiha hit list.
Danzo's proposal was for the entire Uchiha clan to be assassinated because they were planning a coup. However, he didn't take into account that there were innocent Uchiha Clan members. The files Naruto took pictures of and copied as best he could were the names and faces of all the conspirators.
He had memorized them without a hitch.
They were planning on asking the Uchiha Prodigy, Uchiha Itachi, to help them assassinate the clan… well, they were asking him to assassinate the clan alone.
Problem was, there were some Uchiha who may be snatched and dragged into 'the cause' and Naruto couldn't have that. The Elders of the village were asking for this to be done in two months.
Naruto could do it in a day.
Yes… Naruto had been building up a dangerous name as the Nanashi Kira. Several criminals were frightened of him and his twisted judgment. Though, this would be the first time he made a physical appearance.
He had always killed the criminals in their homes or drugged and kidnapped them to kill. He had never been in a live combat situation, which this was more than likely to turn into.
Thus, he needed to prepare for every situation…
The Uchiha Compound was separated into three parts.
The first part was the training grounds. The training grounds were scattered in small blotches throughout the compound. There was one training ground that had a gate into the market district of Konoha. The training grounds took up only fifteen percent of the compound. He would enter though here.
The second part was the Civilian sector. This was the place the 'failures' of the clan lived. Uchiha Clan members who failed to pass the genin exam became civilians. Uchiha Clan members who didn't wish to spill blood or have others spill it for them. The Civilian sector took up twenty percent of the Uchiha Compound. In all, there were twenty-nine targets in the Civilian Sector and would be his first target.
The third part was the Shinobi sector. This was the place where the 'esteemed' ninja lived. They didn't need to be good… They just needed to know several fire jutsu. Many of them have an active Sharingan and would more likely than not make the fight excessively difficult. There were Four hundred seventy nine conspirators that needed to die; what's more, this place took up three fourths of the compound. He'd strike here last.
Naruto went through the Uzumaki compound and grabbed three things before leaving… A scroll, a mask, and an explosive tag…
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
There was an almost silent clanging noise when Naruto destroyed the lock of the gate to the Uchiha Training Grounds. It only took one swipe with a kunai to do…
He pushed open the gate doors with a light creaking sound before calmly walking in.
Looking around, the Uchiha Training Grounds were more like a park. Sure, there was the occasional clearing. But, the entire place was too peaceful. In fact, it looked like these training grounds were hardly used at all.
'Arrogance' thought Naruto.
The Uchiha believed they were invincible because of their Sharingan eyes. They believed themselves to be the elites simply because they learned the basics and genjutsu faster.
They hardly even trained and, with the help of these twenty nine civilian's political standing with the Daimyo and Council, they were able to up their rank almost instantly.
Naruto blamed many things for that. Mainly, he blamed the last Great Ninja War. The Uchiha family was able to dig their nails and set their roots into the Konoha Council and the Daimyo mostly because they were a major help.
After the Kyuubi attack, many Uchiha died. Though, compared to the rest of the village, the number was few. The Uchiha killed were the more political ones, this removed a large percentage of control over Konoha from the Uchiha and began suspicions from the Hokage.
Naruto stopped.
He had reached the first house.
He walked around back, silent as a phantom, and tested the door. To his luck, it opened. He took a few steps onto the first floor of the house.
Three people were currently inside of this house. Two of them were male, the last was female.
Naruto grinned under his mask…
His mask…
He was wearing a pitch-black, skin tight suit that covered his whole body, except his feet and hands, allowed perfect movement. He wore a black jacket over that. His head, except his face, was covered in a skin-tight black substance with small holes at his ears so he could hear. His hair was invisible to all around him.
His face was covered with an old mask. Not just any old mask… an old ANBU mask. It was blank and had slightly rough edges with a small crack on the right side, just under the eye. The paint of the mask had long since been worn away. The mask was no longer white… it was now a strange mix between an excessively dull, near-white yellow under a very light shade of grey. The eyes were both pitch black holes. Finally, a seal that was about a fourth the size of a dime was in the area right between the eyeholes. It was blood red and glowing, thus, it gave the rest of the mask a warped and eerie look in the dark.
Naruto simply kept walking; the light of the full moon served its purpose of illuminating the house.
From time to time, a cloud would cover the moon and totally darken the house. Naruto took one step after another until he reached a room.
The man and the woman were sleeping in the same bed, they were married. It was quite obvious.
Also, judging from their age, their son was probably at seventeen and in the house somewhere.
That was his victim three.
He walked to the bed and took out a knife that would be used for cooking. The man began to stir, but, before he could move…
Naruto slashed his throat and cut the woman's head in half with a single swipe. They were both dead before they knew it.
The man's blood flew everywhere while the woman's head emptied itself of ruined flesh. The parts of her brain and the back of one of her eyes collapsed out and onto the floor. The room just reeked of blood.
Then he heard it… footsteps.
"Hey, Mother, Father, what happene-?" the young man was silenced when the butcher knife that had just killed his parents sailed through the air and struck him between the eyes.
Naruto just stood there for a few seconds with his hand out. The clouds came and covered the moon, darkening the house once more. There was a click, a snap and darkness for only two seconds. Naruto was gone from the house and moving on to the next; he was still holding the knife he had just wedged out from the boy's head.
The next house he went to was a little more difficult. Only a little…
He just undid the lock on the front door and waltzed his way in.
Apparently, the fat husband was in the middle of having a midnight snack.
Who was Naruto to not oblige?
He could hear the man muttering drowsily.
Naruto walked up behind him and took out a pill. He reached his arm around the man's neck and forced the pill down his throat.
For about a second, the man was surprised. That was all the time he had before his eyes rolled into the back of his head and blood poured from his mouth to the floor.
Naruto began to walk off… until he heard somebody coming down the stairs.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Uchiha Kamura wasn't the perfect Uchiha by any means. In fact, were it not for his political standing, he'd have been disowned from the family years ago.
When Uchiha Fugaku put forth the idea of rebelling against the village, he was all for it. It was just a good way to show he was more useful to the clan than his 'good-for-nothing' brother.
The guy was a fat slob!
How he got higher political standing than him, he'd never know. But, if his brother were to disappear then he'd inherit everything that once was his.
He walked down the stairs to lead his brother back to bed.
He made it to the kitchen where he heard his brother… and there was no sound. Nothing…
Not even the sound of his brother snacking could be heard, just… nothing.
He looked at the fridge and shrugged. Now that he thought about it, it could have just been his mind telling him he needed something to eat.
He opened the fridge and recoiled in terror. He had found his brother… every last piece of him.
Uchiha Kamura's brother had been torn apart, limb from limb, and stuffed into the fridge.
A flash of lightening from the nearby window illuminated the room and a figure with a demonic face appeared.
It was the last thing he saw before the knife impaled his head straight through both his ears.
Uchiha Kamura collapsed to the floor with a light 'thud'.
Naruto simply shrugged and walked out of the house.
Four people were dead so far and no alarms were raised, all was going well.
The next house was further from the Shinobi sector and had more security. Rather than cause any for of chaos by trying to break in, Naruto decided he'd simply kill all of them in their sleep without any need of bloodshed.
He stood by a control box of the house with a pair of nail clippers out. He must have just stood still with those nail clippers posed at a pair of blue wires for close to twenty minutes before thunder sounded and a small sprinkle of rain came down. Naruto timed it perfectly and clipped both wires.
All the power in the entire civilian sector went out.
The Shinobi wouldn't care and it was also plausible for something like that to happen.
Naruto climbed up the side of the house and slowly opened the window before climbing in. He walked around the house silently until he came across the boiler room.
It only took a second to charge one of the pipes with chakra and cause a carbon monoxide leak.
With the seals he had written on the doorstep and on the control box, the gas was unlikely to spread.
Naruto was immune to poisons and such, but, he could never be too careful and had a gas mask carefully hidden underneath his ANBU mask. It would allow him to breath in all environments.
Just before he left the house, he heard somebody collapse.
He smirked cruelly.
Three more people had just fallen to his cause.
It was times like these that he remembered when he started…
(Flashback)
Naruto was six years old. He had just knocked out a drunken man while he was walking through the street. This man was abusive to his wife and child. He needed to die.
Naruto put on the nearest mask he could find, a rubber clown mask with several tears in it.
The man was tied to a chair, Naruto held a rusty scalpel in his left hand.
"Wh-Where am I? Who are you? What is this place?!" called out the man.
Naruto walked out of the shadows, all the man saw was the clown-like face.
"Too many questions and so little time… I'll just speak to you in a blunt manner, then. I'm going to kill you for all the things you've done… and I'm going to enjoy every second of it." Spoke Naruto before he jammed the scalpel into the man's abdomen, relishing his cries of pain.
He ripped the scalpel out and held it to the man's arm, tracing a long, jagged line of blood that dripped to the floor.
"P-Please… No more…" begged the man.
"Already begging?" muttered Naruto to the man in a questioning voice, "Pathetic."
He drove the scalpel into the man's back. To his pleasure, the man screamed.
"I'm going to make you suffer, sir." said Naruto before he removed the scalpel.
Naruto slowly took a match out of his pocket and lit it on the side of the man's chair.
"You know… this place is located directly under an old water purification zone. The place was abandoned when the Sandaime's student, Jiraiya, was able to create seals that served the same purpose as this whole place. Nobody will miss this place and if it were destroyed, the water everywhere would flood the place, erasing all evidence. This room is filled with kegs of oil. This whole place is highly flammable. Do the math." he explained to the man.
The man's eyes lit up in recognition as he realized what would soon happen.
Naruto walked to the other side of the room and held out the match before throwing it towards the man.
"Sayonara…" spoke Naruto before he shut the metal door and ran out of the area.
After ten minutes of waiting, the entire place looked like a lake. Nobody would have guessed that a structure used to exist there.
(End Flashback)
It was one of the many disappearances that would plague Konoha throughout the upcoming years. But, the thing that made him famous was when he successfully took revenge on the hospital staff that wronged him.
(Flashback)
It was simple.
There was a man on this street that always would attack him simply for being in view. He also suffered heart attacks often.
So often, in fact, that he had his own team of heart surgeons in the hospital. They were Naruto's former doctors. The ones who stole his heart…
It was time that they paid for their crimes.
Naruto ran near the man while he was eating steak and subtly opened a capsule that dropped powder all over the steak. The powder almost immediately vanished.
The man just yelled at Naruto, not recognizing him as his hair had been dyed brown and he was wearing yellow contact lenses to make his eyes appear green.
It only took one bite of steak for the man to collapse in cardiac arrest. Naruto just stood there with an amused look on his face as, just as he had predicted, a pair of chunin came and took him to the hospital.
Naruto turned his gaze to the window of the man's room and smiled every time he saw a flash, signifying electricity being used.
They weren't going to revive him with those pads…
The poison had killed him. But, it wasn't finished quite yet.
You see, what was unique about this poison was that it reacted to electricity…
There was another bright flash of light and the window exploded, showering glass everywhere. One of the doctors fell from the open window and fell in an awkward position on the ground. It was clear that he was dead.
Naruto resisted the urge to laugh, despite its strength. He killed them.
He killed them…
He finally could rest at night knowing they were dead…
But, there was something wrong here.
Despite his urge to laugh, he knew it would be a mirthless one.
They were dead, but his heart was still gone…
(End Flashback)
It was on this day that he realized he had just killed for revenge, not justice. It felt… sad and ironic.
He'd never once killed again on personal targets. Only in the name of justice… never again revenge.
Like what he was doing right now, for example.
He currently had wire around someone's neck as he held them over a broken sink and stragled him to death… very slowly.
…Perfectly normal in the name of justice.
There was a 'shink' sound as the Uchiha's head slowly slid off and fell into the sink.
Naruto shrugged impassively and walked out of the kitchen and out of the household.
'That's magic number twenty nine… now for the shinobi.' thought Naruto to himself.

That's it for this chapter. Suspenseful, no?
I know, it's a tad suspenseful. Anyway, next chapter, Naruto will really have to do everything in his power to kill these Uchiha. I'll see you later!
By the way, if you have any questions, ask them.
I want as many reviews as possible and please tell everyone you know about my stories.
