I still DON'T own Naruto or Record of Lodoss War

CHAPTER 1: Rebirth, The Black Knight is Born Anew


--13 years later, Konoha Ninja Academy--

Today the Genin hopefuls (and hopeless) were waiting to take their test, as well as class bombshell, Naru Uzumaki, looked like a fifteen year old due to her aging being accelerated slightly until she turns 16, she had long blonde hair, fair skin, and ocean blue eyes, all of these other than her age being because of the seal on her stomach. The aging was simply because she was a half elf. Naru was fully prepared to become a genin, hopefully she wouldn't mess up again.

"Next Naru Uzumaki" Mizuki shouted, at which Naru went into the other room

"Okay Naru, perform the Bunshin no Jutsu" Iruka instructed, which Naru failed to do, due to her chakra control being scattered by the kyuubi seal

"You fail" Iruka shouted

"Surely we can pass her, she made two, and you know how difficult Ninjutsu is for her" Mizuki said

"No, we cannot have little Naru be unprepared, she will have to try again next year"

'Damn you, Iruka, you are just like the rest of the village' Naru thought as she balled her fists

--Minutes later outside academy--

"Looks like she failed again" one woman said

"Good thing to, what would happen if that thing was a genin?" another woman replied

"Shhh, someone might report you if you say too much!" the first woman warned

'Huh, they hate me, they all hate me' Naru began a mantra until Mizuki walked up

"Is there a problem, Naru chan?" the sensei asked

"I really needed to pass; I can't protect the village without access to stronger techniques"

"Well I happen to have come to an arrangement with Iruka that will allow you to become a genin, come with me and I'll explain"

--Rooftop--

"So let me get this straight, Mizuki Sensei, all I have to do is sneak into the Hokage's Jutsu vault, steal the scroll of sealing, and learn one Kinjutsu from it to become a genin" Naru asked

"Exactly, I wanted it to be easier, but Iruka was specific"

"Okay I'll start tonight at ten, give me until midnight okay" Naru said before thinking 'who do you think your fooling traitor, I'll confirm things with Ji-chan first'

--Hokage's office--

"Hey, Ji-chan I need to talk, privately" Naru said after walking in

"Very well, anbu leave us" The Hokage said before the ANBU left "What is it, Naru-chan"

"I think Mizuki is trying to trick me" Naru said explaining her deal with Mizuki.

"All right, Take these and learn a technique, I will meet you in the vault at Ten-fifteen to tell you the rest of my plan" Sarutobi said handing the blonde a book, written in Elvin.

'How come I can read this' she thought as she read the cover "To our precious Daughter Ashrei, Love Pirotess and Ashram" Naru smiled as she left.

--That night, forest near edge of the leaf village--

Naru was jumping from tree to tree as she headed toward her meeting point with Mizuki, a large scroll was on her back, henged into the scroll she was told to steal, this was the Hokage's plan, and the ANBU as well as a dozen Chunin were sent after her, the chunin were unaware of the plan and trying to capture Naru.

"Naru what the hell are you doing, why did you steal the scroll?" came the stern voice of one Iruka Umino

Naru glared at Iruka "Because Mizuki said I'd pass if I did, and my name is Ashrei, Ashrei of Marmo, don't ever forget that Iruka-sensei"

"What, Mizuki said that?"

"Yes I did, now Naru, hand it over" Mizuki said announcing his arrival

"What do you want it for anyway?"

"It doesn't matter, since you'll both be dead soon, but first how about I tell you why you're hated, Naru Uzumaki"

"Mizuki no!"

"Enlighten me, traitor" Ashrei said coldly

"Twelve years ago, the fourth hokage couldn't actually kill the kyuubi, instead he sealed it, yes in you, you are the Kyuubi no Yoko" Mizuki said with a smirk

"Well, you must have forgotten a lot about sealing, starting with the definition that makes me prison and jailor, NOT Prisoner" Ashrei replied "And also my name is Ashrei, not that you need to remember for long, Mizuki"

Mizuki angrily threw a shuriken, which Iruka got the bright idea of jumping in the way of "Ashrei, I'm so sorry"

"Iruka sensei, thank you for being so valiant, but I was going to catch it and throw it back"

"Just die already, Fox Demon" Mizuki said before kicking Iruka out of the way

"Sylph, spirit of gales, grant me a cyclone to rend mine enemies. Powerful Sylph, spirit of gales, grant me a cyclone to rend mine enemies." Ashrei began chanting as a teal cyclone fell from the sky, ripping Mizuki from the ground, and casting him into a tree not much slower than a diving falcon. The result was an unconscious Mizuki.

"Good job, Ashrei" Sarutobi said upon arrival "As Hokage I hereby promote you to the rank of Genin, and place upon thee all rights granted therein" Sarutobi then handed Ashrei her headband, and the Demonic Sword: Soul Crusher, which in her hand formed from a massive broadsword into a thin western long sword, and the Hokage canceled the genjutsu making her look like the Yondaime, she now had dark skin, long ears, gold irises, and long flowing silver hair, with streaks of lavender in it.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama"

"What's with the professional attitude, Ashrei"

"Naru Uzumaki is dead, today I am born anew, as the Black Knight, Ashrei"
