Prologue

Hello everybody! Welcome to the prologue of this new story called 'Sword of Power'. I really wanted to write this story for a while now and I finally did. You probably already read the summary so there's no need to explain a lot in here. The only thing that I have to warn is that in this story, there will be DMC and Bleach elements. With that said, let's go to the story!

Legend:

"Talking."

'Thinking...'

'Demonic Voice Speaking...'

Prologue: Finding Power

4-year-old Naruto Namikaze life had been pretty much the same in his short life. Wake up, dress, eat something, leave the house where his parents, his siblings and he lived, go to the library to learn about chakra control, maybe explore the forest or multiple training fields, and then late at night come back to his house, where the members of his family barely noticed that the eldest of the four kids of the Yondaime was missing in the entire day.

At the start, he did it to call the attention of his parents. He thought that if he disappeared for long periods of time, they will start noticing him more.

It didn't work.

So, he thought that if he learns about chakra alone, his parents will notice him more. They're always talking on the chakra that his siblings have. Who doesn't know about that?

After all, his siblings are the ones that contain the Kyubi chakra. According to Minato, each have three tails of power.

What does he have?

Nothing.

So if he learns how to mold chakra by himself, he might impress his parents and they might start training him too.

He asked when the training of the others started, but they say no. They were too busy with the arrogance of his brother Katsuki, the smartass of Liz, and the hyperactive of the smaller sister Momo.

Even though they were born the same day, Naruto is the oldest because he was born 20 seconds earlier than Katsuki.

Each sibling was different its own way. Naruto is calmed and collected, Katsuki is arrogant and brash, Liz is smart with a bit of superiority complex, and Momo was really energetic and clingy of him.

Probably the one that he likes the most is Momo. For more annoying she could get to be.

Anyway, Naruto got dressed and ate a toast that he made himself and left the house. "I'm leaving!"

Nothing. He looked through the crystal door that lead to the backyard and there he saw his siblings and parents training. Seemingly trying to unlock their chakra. He closed his eyes and left the house.

It was Sunday so the library was closed. As usual he would go to the forest and try to put in practice what he had learn so far.

The treatment he received from the civilians was completely different also. His siblings are labeled as heroes, he is nothing. He is sure that most of them not even know that he is son of the Hokage.

After a long walk he finally got into one of the training fields. He isn't sure of what training field exactly is, but he likes it a lot. Probably because of the waterfall.

It had this... mysterious charm about it.

He got into the lotus position and making the ram seal he started to focus chakra.

'A warm feeling from the stomach...' he thought as he remembered what he read. After 30 minutes he couldn't get nothing.

"Damn." Naruto cursed. "What's the point of doing this alone, if I can't actually do it." He whispered to himself. He looked at the waterfall and he saw from the inside something shining. His curiosity got the better of him, as he started to go on a rock path that was across the little pond. When he got next to the waterfall, he saw that there was some sort of cave that was covered by the falling water.

He climbed to enter the cave as he got wet. His clothes where soaked now just as his normal spikey blonde hair. He got into the cave and started to look around looking for the shining object.

When he arrived to the end of the cave he saw it.

Resting against a rock, there was a katana in a black scabbard that seemed to be made out of wood, with metallic ornaments at the far end. The handle was made with black and white materials and the hilt had the relief of a dragon. It also had a cord that is used to tie the katana to the hip.

He was hypnotized with the sword. It was beautiful. It emanated this aura of power. Of strength. And it felt like if the sword was...

Calling him.

With hesitant steps, he walked closer to the sword and with a nervously, grabbed the handle.

At that exact moment, he could feel it.

The sword, it was darkness, evil, malice. Naruto never felt this kind of emotions so strongly. Never. It was like those stories when the Kyuubi attacked. Naruto wanted to let go. Forget the katana and leave to never come back.

But at the same time, he didn't want to let go.

'Naruto... Namikaze...'

"W-Who said that?" Naruto asked looking around for the voice.

"Do... you seek... recognition?"

"What?"

"Do... you seek... respect?"

"I-I-I..." Naruto didn't know how to answer. He didn't know from where the voice was coming and he didn't like how it talked.

"Do... you seek... love?" The voice finally asked and Naruto mind was filled with images of his parents hugging him. Telling him how proud of him they are. How much they love him.

"I-I do..." Naruto finally said and the dark voice chuckled.

"Then... you are seeking power... power... that I can give you..."

"Power?"

"Child... power is what moves people... economic power... political power... and the power that each person has within... those persons... gain respect... recognition... and love... wield the katana... wield me, Yamato... and I will give you all that..."

After that, Naruto passed out.

*1 Hour Later*

When Naruto woke up, he felt... different.

He didn't know how to describe it, but he just did.

He looked at the katana. Yamato was its name. Without hesitation, he grabbed it and walked out of the waterfall and landed in the rock path. He walked back to land and got himself one more time in lotus position, leaving Yamato on his lap and making the ram seal, he focused to unlock his chakra.

After 1 minute he did it.

He felt the warm sensation fill his body and go across it. He got on his feet and smirked. He looked at Yamato that he was holding in his hand. He remembers what it promised to him. But there's only one way to get to the objective.

And it was training.

Looking with a bored look at one of the trees, he walked towards it.

"Focus chakra on your feet. Too little, and you will not stick, too much, and you will be blasted..." Naruto muttered to himself as he got into training.

Inside his mind, something dark was starting to grow.

And done! This was the prologue of 'Sword of Power'. I'm not quite sure if to put this in the crossover category quite yet. Because, the only elements of DMC are going to be Naruto with a Vergil like personality, Yamato and the Dark Slayer Style and the Bleach element will appear in the future. Also, Yamato won't speak again until the Chunin Exams. And that's all! Leave your Review telling me if you see potential in this story, PM me for any doubt or suggestion, Follow and Favorite the story and me.

Till Next Time.
