It was a warm night in Konoha as Naruto Uzumaki ran through the forest. He had just stolen the forbidden scroll from the Hokage's office, which wasn't very well guarded for a place containing matters of village security.

Naruto arrived in the clearing where he was supposed to meet his sensei, Mizuki, who had been kind enough to offer him this chance to become a gennin after he had failed the test, again. He sat under a tree, laying the large scroll in his lap, and opening it up. No harm in learning a few super cool moves, right?

As soon as Naruto opened the scroll, he began looking for the best jutsu, and by that, I mean the flashiest. He then noticed, in the bottom most corner of the scroll, the kanji for Uzumaki. Naruto traced the lines of the kanji, unknowingly adding chakra, causing the seal to glow a light blue before out puffed 3 things: 2 scrolls and a map. One had writing on it: Naruto.

Naruto smiled. Maybe his family had left him a note! The old man did tell him his parents were ninja's who died in the line of duty. Naruto unrolled the scroll and began to read, his loo of joy turning into one of horror. The letter read:

Dear Sarutobi,

Thank you for watching Naruto while we take menma away to train in the art of the Ninja. You know about the prophecy, but because of your age, we wrote it on the scroll that should arrive with this one. While it is sad, we have to abandon Naruto, so that he may be raised by the village, and so he will be the ideal husband for menma when they grow up. We know you will protect him with your life, and that the village will spoil Naruto silly. A seal at the bottom of this scroll holds a key to the Uzumaki hide out that the map that also arrived with this scroll leads to. When it is time, you should visit it... and burn it down. Do not let that power be used Hiruzen. It needs to be destroyed.

Love, Minato "Yellow Flash" Namikaze and Kushina "Red Death" Uzumaki

Naruto's eyes watered with tears. All his life, his parents had been alive. And on top of that they allowed him to be attacked by the villager's on top of abandoning him!

Naruto hesitantly reached to the other scroll, opening it. It read:

A child born of 2 strong parents will lead the way to glory, and through marriage within their family Marry by same gender, will become the ultimate protector of peace.

Naruto's eyes narrowed in fury. They abandoned him, for this! This could mean anything. It was so vague, it could be talking about someone in a civilian clan who beat a video game. Naruto turned his head back to the other scroll, the one containing the key to ultimate power. Fuck the fact that it was dangerous. His whole life had been dangerous. He activated the seal, grabbed the key, and took the map, before running into the forest, leaving the map. He could always come back when Mizuki was there.

Small cottage, borders of Fire Country

A blond haired man and a red haired woman watched as an orange haired boy swung away at a training post. The man was Minato Namikaze, and the woman was Kushina Uzumaki, both dressed in there normal gear.

The boy swinging at the post with his fists was menma Uzumaki Namikaze. he was 5 feet tall, a respectable height for a 12 year old, with wavy orange hair that was held in a pony tail, with two long bangs framing his face. he wore ANBU style pants, a track jacket, and an orange sash around his waist.

"Okay, menma, go to bed, we have to wake up early to head to Konoha in the morning,"Kushina called.

"Okay mom!"The boy walked into the cottage they had been staying in for the last 3 years.

Minato smiled,"After all these years, we get to see our son again."

Kushina smiled in return,"It'll be such a happy reunion."

Suddenly, there was a poof of smoke in front of them, and there was Fukasaka, the Sage Toad, wearing the usual sage cloak. He didn't look happy.

"Minato, Kushina, I have bad news."

Minato now frowned,"What is it, Pa."

The Sage Toad replied,"The prophecy has changed, and I feel we may have made a grave mistake."

"What mistake, 'ttebane?"Kushina cocked her head to the side.

"The prophecy now reads : A boy abandoned for the greater good has lost his soul to powers beyond. His twin raised in light must save him from it, or he will drag the world in with him to the powers of souls. It's Naruto, I can sense his anger and hate from hear. And... Oh no."

Minato, who was already upset at the bad news, prepared for more,"What now?"

"He's with the Mask books and orb."

That was all Kushina needed to here,"Pack our bags, Minato, and I'll get menma ready. We need to see him as soon as possible. Maybe menma can meet some of the soon to be minted gennin."

Minato nodded and disappeared in a yellow flash.

Back with Naruto

Naruto found himself in front of a stone structure, the ruins of some old building, in his hand, a green gem that glowed purple gem. He stepped forward into the ruins, not really paying attention to the tingling sensation he felt in his whole body as he stepped into the ruins. Inside the ruins he found a basic stone alter, covered in runes he doubted he would ever understand. On the altar sat a white mask a stack of books and a crystal orb. It was white as a base color, with green tribal markings on it (Ichigo's hollow mask, red replaced with green)and the kanji for 0 under the right eye, the books Each one having different designs on it. (Think astral codex (trinity seven)  codex gigus (real life) the grimore from charmed, the monster book of monsters, end spell book (fairy tail) dark spell book (doctor strange movie) book of the dead (Look it up on Google images) orical of bones (the mummy tomb of the Dragon emperor.)). The orb was a really a mass of multiple cubes the in its Wenger was a white one (hyouton the orb from bleach). Naruto felt drawn to the objects. He was about to pick up the Mask and orb, when they suddenly shot off the altar, and on to Naruto's face and merged into Naruto's chest. He grabbed at it, trying to take it off, but found it wouldn't budge.

"Why do you fight me, young one?"

Naruto looked up, and in front of him, was a stunning man.

"Because this mask just attached to my face and you suddenly appeared!"Naruto shouted in did he know, to the animals who were watching from the forest, he was yelling at space, from which trailed the shadowy silhouette.

The man smiled radiantly,"You came to my shrine looking for power, right? To make your family regret abandoning you, to show the village the power of your anger, to get revenge on everyone who has wronged you."

Naruto stopped struggling against the mask as images of the past flashed through his vision. The beatings, getting thrown from the orphanage, the shame of scavenging through trash cans, not being able to play with other kids. The man in front of him had him, and he knew it.

"You...you can give me power for that?"

"On one condition, yes."

"What do you want?"

The spirit walked around, wrapping his arms around him, grinding himself into him,"Three conditions, actually. One, you gather souls, so that I may create myself a body. Two, you call me by my name, hades God of magic and all primal powers. I am the brother of yami kami and shinigami, I came before them, I cam and all powers and they have me for it. And three," he licked Naruto's ear lightly, Naruto stifling a moan of pleasure as his eye's widened,"I want you, Naruto. I've never seen a soul with so much anger, so much barely restrained insanity. I love it.I'll give you access to power untold, the power of a witch god, the power of Voodoo, the power of magic of both darkness and light, to impregnate men, to bring light and shadow, to summon demons and angels. To summon stars and natural disasters. Just forsake Kami, Yami, and Shinigami my useless siblings. Reject your lying friends, your Hokage, your village, your family. Forsake them all, and trust in me."

Naruto weighed the pros and cons. He would essentially be selling his soul, but at this point, he was damned by the village anyway,"You have a deal,  hades."

Hades smiled, before biting into Naruto's neck, causing naruto to scream in pain. His eyes glowed green through the mask, as he screamed in pain. His body lost all fat, becoming leaner, as he grew from 4'9" to 5'2". After 2 minutes, the pain was over, and Naruto felt better than ever. He chuckled to himself. Hades pointed to a mirror, making him turn, seeing the changes. Beside the growth spurt, he had gained green and purple streaks in his hair, and in the pit's of his mask, he could see venomous green and magical purple irises and a white pupil against a black sclera.

Suddenly, Naruto felt a disturbance on the other side of the forest. He didn't know how, but he knew it was Mizuki, who had used him for the scroll. The 12 year old growled in anger, before quickly explaining the situation to hades.

"Here, Naru," with the wave of his hand, a black scepter appeared (Loki's scepter from the Avenger's, with a green gem though, fully extended but made out of polished obsideon), "take this, go get even. And the book are for learning magic, witchcraft, sorcery, and voodoo. The book will be in this bag." Then a Rachel appeared. (Think legend of Zelda satchel on red box)

Naruto nodded, taking the weapon and satchel, before disappearing in a purple and green mist.

((((((((((((((()))))))))(((((((())))))))))

Iruka had seen better days. He had come out into the forest, attempting to find Naruto, who had the forbidden scroll. He had then walked into a clearing, found the forbidden scroll, and now had a severe shoulder injury thanks to a demon windmill shuriken Mizuki had thrown. The traitorous co-sensei was now bearing down on him.

"Any last words, Iruka?"

"Go to hell."

"Hmm, okay."

Suddenly, in a plume of purple and green mist, Naruto appeared between them in a strange mask with a strange scepter, "Hello, traitor."

Mizuki sneered,"Demon brat."

Naruto brought a hand to his chest in mock hurt,"Oh, woe is me, my beloved sensei hates me."

Mizuki smirked,"Do you wanna know why?"

"Sure, why not." Naruto said broadly

"BECAUSE YOU ARE THE KYUUBI!" Helped mizuka

"Nah, oh by the way, have fun in hell."

"What is that supposed to URGK!"

Mizuki looked down to see a blade sticking out of his chest, the metal stained crimson with his blood. The Naruto in front of him faded away like a shadow when there was no light to cast it.

The blade was pulled violently out of his chest in a wet squelch.

Naruto looked down at Mizuki and tsked, before looking to Iruka, and waving,"Yo."

)))))))))))))))))))))))

Naruto stood in the Hokage's office, leaning on his scepter as the much older man attempted to read him. Finally, after a 3 minute stare down, the Hokage sighed.

"Naruto, what happened?"

Naruto shrugged half heartedly, "I was told by the traitor to steal the scroll so I could graduate, I opened it to get some jutsu, discovered the truth about my parents, went to the abandoned shrine, got this mask and books, and as we speak it is the Mask is downloading some information on how to use my powers into my head."

"You know what could happen because of that mask!?"

"Yep."

"Do you know the price of that mask!?"

"Any chance at salvation."

"And you were still willing to put it on?"

"Eh. Kami had her chance, and I now will begin to gain power towards my new goal."

"...What is your goal now? I thought you wanted to be the Hokage?"

"Nah, that was a faze. Now, I just want to kill menma Uzumaki Namikaze."

The pipe in Sarutobi's mouth fell to the ground. He never thought those words would come from the bright eyed, sunny haired little boy he had "raised".

"Naruto, don't say things like that. You don't really want to do that. he never did anything to you."

"But his parents did. I want to show them, Hiruzen. I need to show them what they missed out on, what I have become to atone for their sins. And what better way to do that, than delivering the head of their prodigal child to them on a silver platter."

Hiruzen frowned,"Naruto, you know I can't let you attack him on sight."

Naruto smirked, although the third couldn't see it,"Oh I know, but I will just hope I can fight him during the Chunnin Exams."

Hiruzen's frown got deeper, "You aren't a ninja, Naruto. You can't just get in. You have to work through the ranks first."

"Oh, but you're going to promote me right now, aren't you Hiruzen. Isn't that what that fore head protector in your left hand under the table is for. Or I can leave to a different village i know cloud or stone would love having me"

Hiruzen thought about not promoting him to save himself the trouble later, but then he realized that Naruto had sworn to kill menma. A swear was greater than a promise, and Naruto had never broken a promise in his life. And he had a piont, him not a shinobi makes The Hokage not able to stop him from joining a different village.

The Hokage sighed in defeat, tossing Naruto the forehead protector, "Team assignments are in 2 days. I hope you turn from the path you are on, Naruto."

"No promises, old man. Oh, put me on Kurenai's team."

"Why her?"

"...My powers are growing. I will be revolving mostly around distance and sometimes thing that need prepeoration, and I have good gejutsu. I need a teacher who can tell me how to improve my genjutsu."

"...How do I know your genjutsu is that good?"

"Because I was never here." With that, Naruto shimmered out of existence, the headband going with him.
