Naruto/Darksiders (Earlier this Year/2013)

Shinobi of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1: Awakening

Naruto's breath comes harshly as he ducks and dodges around Gaara's sand. He jumps over blasts of sand meant to crush him and dodges Sand Shurikens meant to decapitate him. Naruto knows he's running on borrowed time. He can't use the Kyūbi's power, not here in front of the whole village. He can sense the impending doom as Gaara shouts "Sand Burial" Before Naruto's tired mind can react he is swept up in an avalanche of sand. He feels it crushing him, His left arm shattered beyond repair. Naruto survives the last blast, but his left arm is gone! Ripped from his shoulder by the sand. He can hear the audience gasps and some civilians being sick. He looks up at the audience and can see the faces of his friends. Kiba's face is green and he looks like he's about to puke, Ino and Sakura have fainted in horror from the blood and the fact his arm is missing. Chōji looks horrified and appears to have dropped his chips. Hinata, Hinata's face is pale, she looks like she is either going to faint or throw up, possibly both. Even Sasuke, Neji and Shino look horrified. The Senseis aren't much better off. Kakashi has actually vomited on his precious book.

Naruto snaps back to Gaara as another wave of sand crushes down on him, he knows he can't escape. But he still tries... and fails. The pain of all his bones being crushed and his skeleton compacted is indescribable, Naruto screams in pain and passes out. His soul cries out and is answered.

Eden.

Naruto wakes up in a peculiar place, He's standing in the middle of a circular plaza with ornate gold and white pillars around him. He turns around in a circle and sees a massive tree off in the distance, He idly wonders "Where am I?"

"Eden" comes the unexpected reply. Naruto whirls around and sees two people standing there. One is a woman with golden eyes and silver hair, dark skin and a strange rune on her forehead, she's carrying a strange double bladed broadsword that looks like it was made by a incredibly advanced race, her most striking feature however is the two feathery wings shooting out of her back (A/N I know that only Abaddon and Azreal had feather wings in Darksiders, but this is made with the assumption that Uriel took Abaddon's place as an Archangel and gained true wings at some point after the events of Darksiders). The man next to her is just as strange, his face is hidden by a red hood, but on it a strange red mark glows. His eyes are white but seem to have a blue glow and his hair is white and quite long. His body is covered in strange armor and his left are from the elbow down appears to be just a gauntlet. He carries a sword that has obviously seen much battle and is scarred and cracked, on it faces cry out in agony. On his right shoulder pad a demons face looks out.

Naruto is awed by their presence and stammers out "W-what is Eden?"

The woman laughs and says "A place of great power and history, the place where the being you call Kami gave free will to man and it is man's fortress for the end war. It is a repository of knowledge and power, but above all that. It is the place where you, the first of a new race was born"

Naruto's eyes widen and he says "I was born here? Wait you said the first of a new race, I know why the villages call me demon, but I'm not one. Then what am I?

The Woman's face contorts in anger and the man's grip on his sword hardens, The Woman looks at him and says "Despite what those worthless worms said, you are not a demon in fact you are almost as far from a demon as is physically possible. You see Naruto, you are a Seraphim. The child of an Angel and a Nephilim who are themselves the children of Angels and Demons. You are Three-quarters Angel and only a quarter Demon. Because of this you were considered an acceptable creature in the eye of your 'Kami' and you were allowed to live your life on your world. However a problem has arisen, Samael the new lord of the Demon Army seeks your head and will stop at nothing to kill you. Fortunately he or any of his kin cannot set foot on your world until the end war. At which point Humans, Angels and Demons will fight with the entirety of Creation at stake. To be honest the Demons fear this as they know the majority of Human's will side with the Angels. Do you understand?"

Naruto nods his head then looks confused and says "I don't mean to be rude or anything, but… how do you know all this anyways?"

The Woman smiles and the Man chuckles and then the Woman says "Naruto, we know all this because… We are your parents"

Naruto's eyes bulge and he shouts "WHAT?"

The Woman smiles again and replies "I am your Angelic Mother Uriel, this man is your Nephilim Father, his name is War"

Naruto looks strangely at War for second while remembering old lessons and then comments "Like the Horseman of the Apocalypse?"

War laughs and says "Exactly like that, in fact I am that War"

Naruto's face shows shock and he says "I don't know whether to shout that you're both liars or Believe you and pass out"

Uriel laughs but then her face turns dark and she says "While that would be interesting, I'm afraid we're here on borrowed time. You see the only time we were allowed to interfere in your life on this planet is when you were born and we placed you with the Yondaime Hokage of your Village and when you awoke you powers after your first death"

Naruto looks confused and says "My first death?"

Uriel nods and says "Yes you died, unfortunately your left arm was removed before you died so it won't regenerate when you are resurrected. You see as the child of an Angel and a Nephilim you are for lack of a better word - Immortal, You can die but you will only resurrect after each death. Luckily for you today is the day you receive your inheritance from us both"

Naruto perks up and says "Really?"

Uriel smiles and nods and then says "Yes, today your wings will appear on your back and like mine will be Feathered Wings, due to the fact you are the son of an Archangel. You'll also receive your Armor, Angelic Sword, Nephilic Sword (A/N I know that isn't a word, but just assume it is and it's used like Angelic, Demonic or Seraphic) and the gifts from your uncles and aunt"

War nods and says "I'll also give you a new left arm, It'll grow with you as well. So you won't be armless for the rest of eternity, if you lose a limb from now on it'll just grow back… eventually"

Naruto feels a weight over his whole body. Where his left arm used to be is a new arm that while made of some strange metal reacts just like his original arm (A/N War's Gauntlet but up to the shoulder and more streamlined for a more agile person). The arm is no thicker than a normal arm would be. His torso, legs, feet and right arm are covered in a strange golden armor that feels quite light but still has weight to it, Like his father's armor it has a hood but his is a pale yellow with a border of crimson flames. He suddenly feels fire in his limbs and drops to his knees as a red portal opens up in the ground in front of him, from it comes a sword nearly identical to his father's but his is unblemished and doesn't have the faces on the side. With his version of Chaoseater came another blade, Angelic and an almost identical copy of his mothers, but lacking the scars and signs of battle that his mother's has. From the portal comes several more items, two scythes that seems to be able to break into two smaller scythes, Four strange metal items in leather holsters, a Book covered in chains and ancient runes and a metallic whip.

Naruto stares at the items and some seem to disappear, one of the scythes, two of the Pistols and the Whip disappear. The other two Pistols attach themselves to his left and right thighs, The book attaches itself to his belt on his left and hangs down a bit from the chains on it. His Scythe breaks up and connect to his left and right hip just above where his book is on his left.

Naruto is left holding his Chaoseater in his left hand and his Angelic sword in his right. Uriel smiles at him and says "You have been given many gifts, The Armor and Sword are mine, Your father will explain the rest but first, What will you name your Angelic blade?"

Naruto stares at the blade in his left hand and says "It think I'll name it 'Righteous Fury'" The blade glows in response and Uriel nods happily.

War steps forward and says "Your sword and arm are gifts from me, the sword is called Chaoseater like mine. The arm doesn't have a name, if you want to you can but… Anyway. The Scythes are from My brother Death, The Pistols, those strange metal things are from my brother Strife and the Whip and Book are from my sister Fury. You notice how one of the Scythes, Two of the Pistols and the Whip disappeared?" Naruto nods "Those are to be given to other among your kind, you see your birth has caused a destabilization of Creation and in order to fix that mistake Seven new Horsemen are being created, Four Seraphic Horsemen like yourself and Four Incubi Horsemen who are three-quarter Demon and only a quarter Angel. Beware of the Incubi Horsemen because they can walk upon your world and probably will start to after you return. You must find three other people worthy of being Seraphic Horsemen (Uriel Elbows him) or Women and give them the extra weapons you have, They will ascend like you have. The weapons will appear when you have found someone worthy of wielding them. Beware for every Seraphic Horseman or Woman you create an Incubi Horseman or Woman will ride to keep the balance. And be assured, they will do their utmost best to kill you to tip the balance in their direction and that of Hell. Any Questions?"

Naruto nods and says "While I've been talking here has time passed in my battle?" He frowns and says "And also am I getting smarter just by being here?"

Uriel smiles and says "No to the first, but yes to the second. This place is outside time so ten millennia may pass and not a second will happen in your world. This is also the place where Humanity received it's free will and sentience so of course you'll get smarter by being here" Uriel Sighs "I wish we had more time but you must go back now, Win your fights with honor and keep the ideals of Heaven in your heart, don't worry you'll know them when you get back"

War smiles and says "Fight with honor and remember your word is your bond and must never be broken-"

"For that is my Nindo, my Ninja Way" Naruto interrupts before he says "That's the code I have stuck to since birth"

War nods and says "Good luck and ride well, You'll eventually get your Phantom Horse and I hope you'll name it well" Naruto nods and is suddenly filled with energy.

Konoha Arena, Two seconds after Naruto was Caught by Gaara's sand.

The audience watches on in horror as Naruto's form disappears under the sand, however before Gaara can finish his command of "Sand Buri-" he is interrupted by a blast of raw power and suddenly.

The sand coffin that held Naruto explodes and he falls out and the entire audience gasps. Naruto stands up in his Armor with his left arm restored holding 'Righteous Fury' in both hands. His hair has grown longer like his fathers, it is smooth and turns from blonde at the roots through white to ending in silver, His eyes have turned golden like his mothers, he still however has the whisker marks on his face, Of course the most defining feature of Naruto now are the two Feathered Wings on his back. The Audience watches in fascination and his friends and fellow Leaf Genin all thought

'Is that Naruto?' Kiba

'What power' Shino

'Is that a Bloodline?' Sakura

'I must have that power' Really? Do I have to say it?

'I dropped my chi- is that Naruto?' Chōji

'Troublesome, he seems to have awoken a bloodline' You know who this is.

'He's even hotter than Sasuke-kun now! WAIT I didn't just think that did I?' Ino

'Fate has smiled on you Uzumaki, I am glad I didn't fight you' Neji

'I've never seen a sword like that, It's so, so, so Beautiful, It looks like Angels forged it' Tenten

'N-n-Naruto-kun's so, s-so Hot and s-so p-powerful, t-that a-Armor he is w-wearing l-looks so exotic' Again Really

Gaara's face was a mixture of shock from his survival and fear at his power, inside Gaara Shukaku cowered and refused to budge under the gaze of a being far beyond its power. Hiruzen Sarutobi dropped his pipe and Orochimaru's jaw was in his lap. Kabuto was frozen in shock as were all the Oto and Suna nin hiding in the Audience. Kakashi's mouth dropped so much that only his mask held his jaw on his head. Kurenai and Asuma had both dropped their jaws in shock, as had all the Chunin and Jounin in the audience. A Number of girls both Civilian and Shinobi were seriously contemplating joining the Naruto Fan Club (Founded by Hinata).

Naruto smirks and decides to continue the most obvious deception by saying "I have a bloodline! I'm definitely going to be Hokage now, Believe it!" He smiles then turns to Gaara and says "But first I'm gonna finish this match, too bad the Uchiha-teme was such a coward and cried to the council about facing you"

Sasuke's face is livid and he looks like he's going to blow a gasket.

Naruto sees Sasuke's enraged face and laughs before launching himself at Gaara at insane speeds thanks to the wings on his back. Naruto slices his sword across Gaara' s chest shattering his 'Sand Armor' and leaving him bleeding on the Arena floor, Naruto looks down at him as the Proctor calls out "Victor, Naruto Uzumaki"

Naruto hold out his hand and says "You don't have to kill to prove you exist Gaara, You have a brother and sister that love you. Even if your father hates you, you exist. You want to know the secret to true power? It is simple, find people precious to you. Brothers, Sisters, Lovers and Friends, Find them and protect them, and in doing so you will grow stronger. You no longer have to be alone Gaara. Let them in and fill your heart with lover" Gaara stares at Naruto before he nods and holds his hand out. Naruto pulls him to his feet amid the thunderous applause of the audience. In that Moment Orochimaru's plans for invasion fail as Gaara whispers into Naruto's ear

"The Kazekage is a fake, that's Orochimaru in disguise"

Naruto nods and faster than anyone can see pulls out one of his Pistols and in an amazing show of luck, shoots Orochimaru right through the eyes before he can react, killing him in one shot. Orochimaru's spirit died at the same time as the bullets kill both body and soul simultaneously.

Naruto shouts out to the audience "The Kazekage was a fake, It's an Invasion by Orochimaru he killed the real Kazekage" That one statement caused pandemonium, as the Suna Nins enraged by the betrayal turn on the Oto Nins and kill them where they stand. Kabuto never even sensed the blade that entered through the back of his head.

Naruto stood there and watched the aftermath of that statement, His eyes however focused on a certain lavender eyed Kunoichi and to his amazement a Scythe appeared in his hands. Death was about to ride once again.

Challenge 2: Naruto/Darksiders crossover: Son of War By Isom

Due to the council's meddling Naruto faces Gaara in the first round instead of Neji. Naruto puts up a good fight, but winds up the victim of a sand burial to the arm. When near death he finds out that his real birth parents, War and Uriel, dropped him off at the Namikaze household the morning of the Kyūbi attack. The two did so to protect him from Samael's army. He is approached by the Horseman and Uriel who then bestow their powers unto him. Naruto comes back to life ready to shake the ninja world and avenge his parents.

Rule 1: From his dad Naruto gets his own version of Chaos Eater, from death a scythe, a pair of rapid fire pistols from strife, and book of ancient spells from Fury. He also gets an angelic sword from his mother (if you want to give him Zoro's style up to Nitoryu that's fine)

Rule 2: Naruto has to have an artificial arm like War's.

Rule 3: Must have an angels wings like his mother Uriel.

Rule 4: Kyūbi must be female.

Rule 5: somehow bring Vulgrim into the whole thing. You can leave the watcher out of this. Favorite scene from the game was when that annoying insect finally got his head crushed.
