Authors note: I'm going to make this chapter and the rest to come longer than the prologue. I'm so excited to write this story and I look forward to the reviews!

Minato pulled out two of his tri-pronged kunai and readied himself for combat. The three armored men looked at him as if he was a fly not worth their time. The biggest giant of a man stepped forward, "Your legacy is destined for greatness, we've seen his life, know his pain, with our power he will be unstoppable and we would live on through your son's soul." he said in a dark whispery tone. Minato looked up at him with distrust and hate in his eyes.
"NO! I won't allow you to corrupt him with your vileness you monsters!" Too fast for the blonde Kage to see, a black armored gauntlet grabbed his throat and lifted him up off the ground. "Regardless of your thoughts, the boy is now the host of our souls, you cannot stop us from merging with him!" black chains rapped around Minato and a dark hole opened up below him.
"Because you could be of use to us at a later date I won't throw you back into the Shinigami's stomach, be grateful you get to witness your boy rise to power!" The dark man dropped Minato into the darkest recesses of his son's mind, waiting for a time when he would be needed. Turning his black eyes on the other two warriors he gave a stiff nod in acknowledgement, just because they were stuck in the same boy did not mean they had to like each other.
They still had a small sliver of respect for one another, having seen each other's memories as well as the boy's. The blue eyed man spoke up with an empty tone that echoed. "We should prepare for the boy, he will be here soon." They nodded at one another before three corridors formed at the end of the room. Each armored man entered a hallway waiting for their host.
Naruto groaned as he came too. Getting up slowly he looked around to see he was in a sewer of some sort. "Was it all a dream? Did the villager's just throw me in here?" He nodded his head at the thought, which had to be it. Sighing, the young blonde began to make his way down the dank corridor taking twists and turns. He finally came to a large room; in it were three other exits and a giant cage. Naruto looked up with wide eyes at the large cell before jumping back in fear as two blood red eyes peered down at him.
"Ah, so the warden finally graces me with his presence, it's nice to know you care." The beast said in a sarcastic tone, before stepping into the dim lighting to reveal a giant fox with nine tails swaying lazily behind it. Naruto looked up in amazement. "W..what are you?" he asked in fear. The giant fox sighed. "I'm the great Kyuubi no Kitsune lord and master of Hell yatta yatta yatta fear me blah blah blah…" Kyuubi stated in a bored tone. A little put off by the legendary fox's attitude Naruto looked at him in confusion. "Aren't you supposed to be dead?" The giant fox scoffed before muttering under its breath about stupid blondes.
"We will talk later, choose the left path first and all will be explained, now get out of here, you woke me up." The fox grumbled angrily. The whiskered blonde hesitantly moved towards the left tunnel hoping to find some answers. Walking down the torch lit corridor Naruto noticed an orange light up ahead picking up the pace the blonde entered what looked to be a throne room, random lava pits where all over the room providing light, the walls had goblin like creatures carved into them.
In the center of the room was a large black throne with dragons carved into it. Sitting down on it was a tall man with glowing yellow eyes. The man took notice of Naruto and motioned him forward. The blonde slowly made his way to the large man and stood slightly shaking in front of him. The steel covered man looked around for second, before raising an eyebrow.
The man raised his executioners axe before bringing it down on the stone floor creating a shockwave of power. Naruto fell backwards from the power of the shockwave before a frantic old sounding voice echoed around him. "Ah sorry master! I was just telling these worthless bags of bones to be more careful with the young lords body." The armored man nodded in acceptance before motioning for Naruto to speak. "Where am I?" the young blonde asked to seemingly nobody. "Well, young master you're in your mindscape! As for me I am Gnarl keeper of the Minion horde and advisor to the Overlord!" Gnarl said in a happy tone.
Naruto looked even more confused. "Just let me explain first milord, then if you have questions I shallgladly answer them!" Naruto just nodded and sat down. " Lucky for you, you have been chosen by three warrior Kings to be their host, they will bind their spirits to you thus giving you their power, knowledge, and of course their armies! Each Lord will test your soul before binding with you, when all the merging's are complete I will help you with your training as will several others but that's for later. Know I'm guessing you met the fur ball in the cage?" Naruto nodded once more. "Well master you're naval is being inhabited by the lord of hell himself….Isn't it wonderful! This means more power! Oh I'm so excited!"
Naruto had put the pieces together a while ago but he still looked down in sadness, it all made sense now. "Shall we begin?"The blonde remembered all the cruelty he had endured sure the whole village wasn't out to get him, but with this power he wouldn't be pushed around any longer, but then again what would this power do to him being the young lad that he was he didn't ponder for long. "I…I accept!" without hesitation the Overlord grabbed Naruto's head and began to channel his power into the seven year old. Naruto felt pain as memories and power flowed into him, his soul was torn apart and reformed. Orange energy covered him and when it died down the blonde stood up. His eyes glowed a sickly yellow, and his lips curled into a devilish smile.
Evil always finds a way.
Authors note: you guys had some good guesses! Maybe even better ideas….ANYWAY Naruto has been given a great gift but how will this affect his soul? Find out soon. I will be posting in the evenings, hopefully at a regular basis, and if you guys find something wrong tell me I will do my best to improve. So flames are welcome. Oh and I will try to stay away from some of the Naruto clichés…but not all of them, a little cliché helps sometimes, also Romance? Yes or no?
