Chapter 1: The scythe

In the dark paths of the Forest of Death we find Uzumaki Naruto, who was running for his life. His clothes were torn and he had many injuries. Right now he was on the second part of the chunin exams. However he was alone because his teammates were killed by Iwa shinobis and now they chased him to kill him too because he was the son of the Fourth Hokage. But what they didn't know that it doesn't matter if they kill him because Namikaze Minato, the Fourth Hokage didn't care about his son.

When the Kyuubi attacked Konoha Minato sealed only the soul of the demon fox in Naruto. The chakra was sealed in Naruto's twin sister Namikaze Yumi. Yumi started her training when she was 4 years old but for Naruto any kind of training was forbidden. Minato said he would be trained when he was in the Academy. So Naruto started his training when he was 8 years old. He tried to train by himself but an ANBU always watched him and stopped him because these were the Hokage's orders. And when he started the Academy his life didn't become better. His teachers barely taught him anything and what they taught him was utterly useless like who was the First Hokage why he was famous etc. By this time his sister was way stronger than him. But his problems didn't end here. Because the villagers knew the fox's soul was inside him they thought he was the fox itself so they always beat him up, chased him and sometimes they almost killed him. Then Jiraiya came with his stupid prophecy: A child who was born from 2 powerful warrior will carry a heavy burden, this child can save the World or leave it in darkness.

Minato, Jiraiya and sadly Naruto's mother, Kushina thought Yumi is the child who will save them, because she carried a heavy burden, the chakra of the Kyuubi. But I think everybody agrees that Naruto had a way heavier burden.

Naruto was ignored by his parents and god-parents too. They didn't taught him anything and neglected him. When they finished the Academy Yumi was the Kunoichi of the year while Naruto was an average student. Yumi's teammates were Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura. While Naruto's teammates were a boy and girl but they came from a civillian family. He didn't really know their names. Their Jounin sensei was an average teacher, but like the others he hated Naruto too. With this Naruto didn't have friends, there was nobody whom he could talk. Hyuuga Hinata tried to become his friend but in time she stopped it, nobody knew why.

But then he found the one who was willing to talk to him. It was the Kyuubi but he asked Naruto to call him Kurama. Kurama listened to him and gave him advices but unfortunately he didn't really have any idea how he could increase his training.

With some luck Naruto and his teammates became an official team. They did some D- and C-rank missions. But all this time Naruto barely learned anything new. And when the chunnin exam came his sensei nominated them immediately. He wanted to get rid off Naruto as soon as possible. He felt sorry for the other 2, but it was for the greater good. They passed the first test but when the second came everything went from bad to worse.

An Iwa team ambused them and killed Naruto's teammates immediately. Naruto was lucky because he could held up against them for a few minutes but then he saw this was impossible so he fled. And now we are back where this story started with Naruto was running for his life.

Naruto was running as fast as he could while Kurama shouted in his head.

''Could you run faster they are not too far." Shouted Kurama who wasn't in the mood to die.

''I am trying but I am almost out of chakra, and as far as I know you can't give me." Shouted Naruto in his head hoping the fox would shut up.

''Okay okay, just hurry and find a place where we can hide." Said the fox and Naruto suddenly saw a cave and run in. He leaned against the cave's wall and suddenly he fall into route of the cave. He slided down then he fell into some kind of huge cave tunnel. When he looked up he saw a scythe in the center of the tunnel. He went closer to see it. The scythe was a little bigger than Naruto, the handle looked like it was made of a human's spine, while the blade was in socket that looked like a head of a demon. When Kurama saw the weapon he started to speak again.

''It can't be." Said the fox with surprise.

''What do you mean? It looks like a plain old scythe." Said Naruto.

''It isn't just a plain old scythe. That is the Death's scythe." Said Kurama who was a little afraid of the weapon.

''The Death's scythe. How can it be, and what does it do here?" Asked Naruto.

''You know there are many other dimensions, this isn't the only one. However there is only one Death, who collect the souls. But I heard from other demons that in one of the other dimensions a human was able to steal the scythe. Then he ambushed the Hell. He didn't do nothing else there just killed and killed. He killed damned souls, demons and monsters. And with the power of the scythe he became so powerful he could go against the most powerful demon, Lucifer. As far as I know he couldn't kill him, but he managed to seal him away, but before that Lucifer banished that weapon somewhere. I would have never thought he sent it here. But now you can take it and show everybody how powerful you are." Said the fox and Naruto was tempted.

''How powerful was this person?" Asked Naruto who wanted to know everything before he made his choice.

''His name was Dante and imagine that he could survive dives from hundreds of meters. He could defeat Cerberus, the 3 headed dog, in a few minutes. And Cerberus's power is equal that huge frog that your father uses." Said the fox then continued Dante's achievements which he earned in the Hell.

''Then with this scythe I can show I worth something. I can even defeat my sister." Said Naruto with some venom, because his sister in the last few years became selfish, vain and hateful.

''Yes just take it and you will be the strongest. But remember the scythe has enormous dark power which can corrupt you. It didn't work on Dante because he had his love who stopped him to fall into the darkness completly." Said the fox as a last warning.

''I will manage it somehow." Said Naruto then grabbed the handle and tried to pull out the weapon from the stone. After some try he managed to pull out then suddenly he felt its power. His orange jacket which he hated so much torn to pieces just like his shirt. His pants became from the orange to brown and some armor appeared on his thigh. Armor appeared on his left arm and on his shoulders too. Then he felt his chest started to burn. But in truth a cross started to appear as a tattoo. In the cross there were weird drawings. When the burning was stopped on his back a holder appeared where he could put the scythe then his whole body started to become more muscular. The changing was stopped after a few minutes but after that Naruto was really worn out. So he sat down and he found a little puddle and checked his new self. He liked the changings. He examined the tattoos and when he looked at it closer he suddenly had a vision. When the vision was over he understood the tattoos. Those were the Sins that was committed against him. Kurama told him that Dante sew a cross on himself with his sins, but in his case it was a tattoo and the other's sins were on it.

When Naruto finished the checkings he felt suddenly some pain in his whole body. He collapsed on his knees and he had to hold himself with his arm. He screamed like there was no tomorrow, but the pain stopped after a few minutes.

''Are you allright Naruto?" Asked the fox with some concern.

''Yes I am fine now." Said Naruto while he panted.

''Do you know what was this?" Asked Naruto but the fox shocked his head.

''I don't know, but I felt some dark energy when you felt the pain. Maybe one of the dark and unholy power's aftereffect. It is hard to say. But are you sure you are allright." Asked the fox.

''Yes yes. It is time to go and get those scrolls." Said Naruto, because his scroll was taken by the Iwa shinobis, because he was stupid enough that he let one of his teammates to carry it. Naruto climbed out from the cave and started to look for the Iwa shinobis to get their scrolls and to test his now power. It didn't take much time and they found Naruto but they were suprised because of his new attire.

''Well look at this guys. I think he wants to seduce us. Sorry but we don't bend that way." Said one of the Iwa shinobi and they started to laugh.

''I will give you one chance to give me the scrolls, or you will die painfully." Said Naruto with a serious tone but the Iwa shinobis only laughed.

''Do you really think we will give you the scrolls and you will kill us. The last time you run away like a coward." Said the same iwa shinobi while the others laughed.

''A few things changed, but never mind that. Now the scrolls." Said Naruto.

''I think we will take our chances." Said the Iwa shinobi.

''It is your funeral, but don't complain me when you die. I tried to warn you." Said Naruto and took out his scythe.

''Come on guys let's kill him and avenge our fathers." Said the Iwa shinobi and the others cheered and when the first one turned back to face Naruto he was already in front of him. The Iwa shinobi didn't even sense him. Naruto didn't wait much with one swing he decapitated him. The others looked at Naruto and their killed teammate with shock on their faces. Naruto didn't wait and went for the other 2. They took out their kunai knives and tried to protect themself. However the scythe was too powerful and cut through the knives and their hands. Naruto cut off one of the Iwa shinobi's hand and when he filed his lost hand Naruto cut off his head too. The last one was terrified and tried to run away but Naruto activated the one of the scythe power. The blade moved up and now looked like a spear, then shout out while the handle streched. The blade went through the shinobi's chest and pulled him back where Naruto pulled out the scythe and cut him half. When Naruto finished 3 yellow orb appeared and and scythe consumed them.

''How are you feeling after the first kill." Asked Kurama.

''I feel fine. No I never felt this good. Maybe this is the felling of the victory. But what were those orbs?" Asked Naruto.

''Those were their souls. Now you own them and with some souls you can power up your scythe or you can sacrifice them to get now powers." Said Kurama and Naruto smilled devily.

''Good I will need every power to defeat my sister then my father and everybody else how dares to stop me to become the most powerful warrior." Said Naruto and Kurama saw the darkness already started to spread in his mind and soul. Naruto collected the scrolls and their headbends then went to the tower immediatly. By the time the Sun went down Naruto reached the tower. Fortunately he didn't run into other teams, but deep down he wanted to meet a few other teams to test more of his new power. When he went inside he saw the table and read it. Then he opened the scrolls and his sensei appeared.

''Well I didn't except that you would come this far but congratulations." Said Naruto's sensei but then he saw only Naruto and he looked weird.

''Naruto where are your teammates?" Asked the Sensei with some fear.

''An Iwa team attacked us and killed them." Said Naruto with a very calm voice like he didn't really cared about them.

''Then how did you survive?" Asked the sensei again.

''Firstly I tried to defeat them but it looked impossibly to defeat them because of your useless training methods." Said Naruto with some anger now.

''So the only thing I could do after they died to run. Then I surprised them and lured them into a trap and killed them." Said Naruto with some lie. Then pulled out their headbands for proof.

''Okay but what happened to your clothes and what is that tattoo?" Asked the sensei with some concern.

''Nothing you have to worry about." Said Naruto and the sensei couldn't do anything about.

''Allright because your teammates died only you can participate on the next part of the exam." Said the sensei and Naruto nodded then left to rest a little then eat something because there is still 2 days before the next exam.

While Naruto got the scythe and tested on the Iwa shinobis something very interesting happened in the Land of Toads. The Great Sage Toad was resting when he suddenly had a vision. But this vision was painful and cruel. In his vision he saw fire, pain and death. The blood flew in rivers. Then he suddenly saw a boy with a scythe who harvested the people. And before he could see what was the end the vision it was over and he returned. He was panting and sweating. He felt he just looked into the eye of the Death.

''Great Sage are you allright?" Asked Fukasaku who just came in.

''Call Jiraiya immediately." Said the sage while he tried to collect himself.

''What happened?" Asked Fukasaku with some concern.

''I am not sure yet but I had a vision." Said the sage.

''And what happened in it?" Asked Fukasaku.

''The World was in flames." Said the sage and Fukasaku got scared.

''I summon him immediately." Said Fukasaku and made the seals.

''Revert Summoning." Said Fukasaku and Jiraiya appeared in the chamber.

''What the..?" Said Jiraiya who found himself in the Great Sage's chamber.

''What the hell Fukasaku-sama I was in the middle of a very important researching." Said Jiraiya but Fukasaku looked him with a frown.

''We don't have time for your stupid researching, the Sage had a vision." Said Fukasaku and Jiraiya shut up immediately.

''What did you see?" Asked Jiraiya with a serious tone.

''The World was in flames and a boy who killed everybody with a scythe. He was the Death itself. But I didn't see the whole vision." Said the sage.

''What do you mean?" Asked Jiraiya who started to panic.

''I am not sure but the vision seemed incomplete. Maybe in time I will see the rest of it. But be careful Jiraiya, because this boy want to destroy everything." Said the Sage.

''And didn't you see a girl in your vision?" Asked Jiraiya hoping that maybe Yumi will be the one who can stop this.

''No I didn't but as I said the vision wasn't complete. Maybe the rest of it will give us the answers." Said the Sage and Jiraiya nodded.

''Allright. I will return to Konoha and tell everything to Minato and Kushina. Maybe they know something." Said Jiraiya and the toads nodded. Then Jiraiya summoned himself back to Konoha and went to Minato immediately. Minato was shocked about the news but he didn't have any idea who it can be. But right now it was a smaller problem, because Orochimaru appeared in the Forest of Death and marked Uchiha Sasuke with the Curse seal. Moreover his training with Yumi was hold up because she couldn't use the Kyuubi's chakra. She went berserk after the first tail appeared. And they didn't have any idea how they can stop this.

When they finished the conversation Jiraiya left but before that he said he would try to find this boy with the scythe. Minato nodded then went home to sleep because the next day will be the last day of the second part of the chunnin exam.

The last day was finished and now in front of Minato and the Jounin senseis stood 22 gennin to continue the chunin exam. What Minato noticed immediately that Naruto was alone but the biggest remark was the scythe on his back. Minato hoped it wasn't Naruto who Jiraiya talked about. But after the exam he will ask about it and those weird tattoos. Minato didn't hate his son just he didn't show the same talent that Yumi had, so he slowly pushed him away. At least it was what he thought. While Kushina always wanted to take him out from the shinobi program, because he didn't have huge chakra reserves like her or Yumi. That's why she didn't want to teach him hoping he would give up and try to find a safer career. But Naruto didn't want to give it up. However both of them knew about the beating but they couldn't stop the villagers, because Minato was afraid the civillians would vote to fire him.

After Minato told the meaning the chunin exams the next part started. The first match was Uchiha Sasuke against Akado Yoroi. Sasuke won but just barely. The next one was Kankuro against Tsurugi Misumi. Kankuro won because he injured severely his opponent. The next one was Temari against Tenten. Tenten didn't have a chance so Temari won without breaking a sweat. After this came Akamichi Choji against Kinuta Dosu. Dosu defeated him easily. The next one was Tsuchi Kin against Nara Shikamaru. Shikamaru won with his superior tactic. The next one was Yamanaka Ino against Haruno Sakura. Unfortunately non of them won, because they knocked out eachother. But when the jounin saw their fight they saw how undertrained they were. A real shame for every Kunoichi. The next was Gaara against Rock Lee. Lee fought bravely but even he couldn't defeat a Jinchuuriki like Gaara. The next was Aburame Shino against Namikaze Yumi. Because Yumi knew how Shino would attack with his bugs, she used taijutsu and with one rasengan she defeated him. The following match was Inuzuka Kiba against Yakushi Kabuto. Kabuto stayed in because Naruto raised his curiosity. So he fought against Kiba and defeated him very easily. And the following match that everybody wanted to see so much. Uzumaki Naruto against Abumi Zaku. Naruto only smiled then jumped down. Zaku did the same then they walked to eachother.

'I don't know what happened to Naruto-kun, but that scythe and those tattoos look very interesting' Thought Orochimaru who stayed to see this match.

'Maybe the fox's soul did something to him?' Thought most of the jounin senseis.

'Well let's how strong you are 'Ni-chan' but I am sure you are not stronger than I am, and you never will be.' Thought Yumi with her vain attitude.

'Ha that baka things that new attire will make me to turn against Sasuke-kun. Well you are wrong. You are just a second rate shinobi, a nobody.' Thought Sakura and Ino.

'What happened to Naruto. His aura is dark and cold. It feels like I am looking at the Death. Well never mind it is too troublesome.' Thought Shikamaru.

'This kid looks different. When we first saw him he looked like a real weakling, but now it feels like Gaara if not worse." Thought Kankuro and Temari.

'Naruto-kun what happened to you? Is it because you were alone? I am sorry I tried to be your friend but I was afraid. But I promise from now on I will be there for you and don't care what my clan says.' Thought Hinata.

'Whatever happened to Naruto we will see now.' Thought Minato.

'I hope Naruto doesn't push himself too much. But where did he got that scythe and those weird tattoos. Just please survive this.' Thought Kushina.

''Well both of you are ready?" Asked Gekko Hayate and both of them nodded.

''Then you can start." Said Hayate then he jumped away.

''Well you look like a real weakling so you would do better if you just give up." Said Zaku but Naruto only took out his scythe and looked at him.

''Hey didn't you hear me?" Asked Zaku again.

''I heard you but I want to go home so just let's finish this quickly." Said Naruto and Zaku didn't like his tone.

''Allright then I will blow you away with my most powerful jutsu." Said Zaku and held up his arms to use his weapon. Naruto only smiled and then before Zaku could use his arm Naruto disappeared. When he reappeared again Zaku only saw swing then Naruto appeared before him. But the strange thing was that his scythe were on his back again and in his hands were bleeding arms. When he looked at them he noticed those were his arms. Then he slowly started to look down and saw his bleeding arm or what was left from it.

''AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH. MY ARMS, MY ARMS. GIVE MY ARMS BACK" Screamed Zaku with full voice.

''Sure here they are." Said Naruto with an evil smile and threw the arms in front of him. Zaku collapsed on his knees and tried to pick them up but because of the shock he didn't realized he didn't have hands to hold them. While he tried to pick them up Naruto took out his scythe again and walked to Zaku to finish this. He walked behind him and put the blade to his neck and he still smiled.

''Please show mercy." Said Zaku while he started to cry moreover he soiled and peed himself.

''Sorry I am out of mercy." Said Naruto then twitched the blade and cut off his head.

''I think I won." Said Naruto and started to walk back to the balcony.

''Because Zaku died Uzumaki Naruto won." Said Hayate then called the medic shinobis to come and collect Zaku's parts.

'You are very interesting Naruto-kun. I will continue seeing your progress.' Thought Orochimaru.

'The fox's soul definitely made something to him.' Thought every jounin.

'What the hell was that. He just killed him without breaking a sweat. But the genin had to be way stronger than Naruto was. Sakura said how he fought in the forest he should have won, not Naruto. I think he is a little stronger than I thought but you are still weaker than me.' Thought Yumi.

'That baka is a real monster. He just killed him with cold blood. I knew he was a demon and now he showed the proof of it. And if he think he is stronger than Sasuke is then he is stupider than he looks like.' Thought Sakura and Ino.

'Oh my God. This became more troublesome than I thought. I hope I don't have to fight him.' Thought Shikamaru.

'This kid is frightening. He is as cruel as Gaara if not more cruel. He is a real monster.' Thought Temari and Kankuro.

'My God. Naruto-kun. What have you become? Maybe it is not too late to help him. I have to save him before he does something he regrets.' Thought Hinata.

'My dear. Maybe Naruto is the one who Jiraiya talked about. But if this is true, what can I do? I have to kill him to save the World? What should I do?' Thought Minato

'Naruto? When did you become this cruel. Maybe we pushed him away too much. Allright I will talk to Minato and from now on we will be real parents to you.' Thought Kushina.

Then the final match came Hyuuga Hinata against Hyuuga Neji. Neji was way stronger than Hinata but before Neji could kill her a scythe landed between them then Naruto appeared too to stop the match.

''Allright Neji you made your point. You are stronger than her. Now finish this." Said Naruto with a serious tone.

''What does matter to you. You are just a commoner, a nobody. Even your parents hate you. Your fate is to die slowly because you are weak. Your victory was a fluke. Fate would never side with you." Said Neji with anger.

''Did you finish your preach about fate or there is more?" Asked Naruto with stoic face.

''Why you.." Said Neji but Naruto stopped him.

''But i have to ask you. If you think that is my fate, then what is yours?" Asked Naruto.

''My fate is to become the most powerful shinobi and defeat the Main house." Said Neji and Naruto started to laugh.

''You really decided that is your fate." Said Naruto while he laughed.

''And you think my fate is to die slowly. Please don't laugh me. If you really think you can decide everybody's fate then you are stupider than I thought." Said Naruto while he tried to stop the laughing.

''And you think that her fate was to die here and now?" Asked Naruto.

''It should have been but you interrupted me." Said Neji with some anger.

''She doesn't deserve death. She is innocent in your father's death." Said Naruto and Neji looked at him with wide eyes.

''How do you know this?" Asked Neji.

''Don't worry about that. But there are a few other sins she commited so don't worry she needs some atonement." Said Naruto and started to leave.

''Then why did you stop me if she has sins?" Asked Neji.

''Who knows but those sins aren't connected to you and I will not let you to kill her because of the sins she never commited." Said Naruto with a serious tone.

''Then what about Zaku? Why did you kill him?" Asked Neji.

''Because he was annoying." Said Naruto then went back to the balcony.

Hinata was taken to the hospital then the winners were called. They stood in front of Minato and he told them what would happen next. Then everybody pull out a number from a box. After everybody told their number Ibiki showed them how they would fight in the next part of the exam.

Naruto vs Yumi

Sasuke vs Gaara

Temari vs Shikamaru

Neji vs Kankuro

Dosu vs Kabuto

Everybody understood and started to leave to start their training but Minato still didn't finish it.

''Naruto stay her for a moment." Said Minato and Naruto stopped.

''Yes 'Father'." Said Naruto.

''Let's talk a little, like father and son." Said Minato and Naruto looked at him with an evil smile.

''Sure why not."
