-Prologue-

(A/N there is a minor spoiler for Sonic Generations at the beginning of the prologue. Read at your own risk!)

After the Time Eater was beaten by the collaboration between Super Sonic and the much younger Super Sonic, Sonic's surprise birthday picnic resumed while Sonic and Tails said goodbye to their past selves. However, when a rift through time appeared, no one noticed as it started sucking in a certain hedgehog, despite him yelling at everybody. The hedgehog's fur was jet black with a tuft of white fur on the chest area. His hair is jet black with crimson highlights that spiked up or pointed down. The skin on the hedgehog's mouth and nose area is tannish-orange. His eye color is red, and he wore white gloves with what appears to be a golden bracelet on each of his wrists. The hedgehog's shoes are special. They were light weight, hyper friction resistant, white, black, red and yellow jet shoes, with what appeared to be two golden bracelets, identical to the bracelets on his gloves, and had one on each ankle.

"Come help me out!" Yelled Shadow.

Once the Mobian's, which was everyone there, noticed Shadow the hedgehog's plight, they dropped whatever food they were eating and rushed to help Shadow, with Sonic reaching him first. He told Shadow to accelerate, but despite his best effort, he was drawn into the portal.

Rouge the bat was an anthropomorphic bat. Rouge is a jewel thief, part-time government agent (working for G.U.N.), and self-proclaimed treasure huntress who plans to make all the gems and treasures of the world hers. Her current jewel obsessions are the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds. She angrily kicks a rock, and says, "But…how? Shadow is stronger than this!"

E-123, otherwise known as Omega replies in a robotic tone, "STATEMENT: TRUE, BUT AS A RESULT OF THE TIME EATER'S DEFEAT, SHADOW DOES NOT POSSESS A CHAOS EMERALD."

Knuckles the Echidna angrily interrupted with, "The only way for Shadow to regain his Chaos powers without access to a Chaos Emerald is if…"

"*Groan* 'What happened, and where am I?' Shadow thought to himself, as he looked around the forest. He then spotted a fox-like creature with…NINE TAILS confronting a giant TOAD with what seemed to be a human making some hand gestures…

"Dead Demon Consuming Seal!" (Shiki Fūjin!) The human shouted as he made the final seal. Shadow then saw the shadowy form of something akin to a demon appear and grab into the nine-tailed fox while stabbing its other arm into the human.

While Shadow watched in morbid fascination as the demon ate the soul of the adult human before sending the fox into the small human infant Shadow just noticed, the demon looked at him and said, "You do not belong here. Not in this time or place. I should have Kami deal with you, but I would prefer to deal with you now rather than later before you tear the fabric of the universe asunder."

Before Shadow could react, he felt himself being sucked into the small infant. 'Maria…' Was Shadow's final thought before he completely disappeared.

-Chapter 1-

XxX

A twelve-year-old Naruto was approaching the shinobi academy for his graduation day. However, he wasn't wearing any type of hideous orange jumpsuit on his body. Instead, he wore black ANBU pants with red jet shoes. He wore a mostly jet black shirt with some red markings on the cuffs of the sleeves and a white, triangular mark at the base of his neck. On the center of his chest was the symbol for what he contained. (The Shadow's symbol) His blonde, spiky hair had red highlights, and he wore a black open cloak with red flames on the bottom. Finally, he wore white armored gloves with the gold bracelets that were in reality called Inhibitor Rings. If the rings remain attached, Shadow's energy output remains high. Upon removal, they gave Naruto Shadow the Hedgehog's full power, but unfortunately, the rings have to be reattached quickly or after the battle, because the full power of Shadow is too much for Naruto's body to handle.

Naruto entered the academy, and he immediately got into a staring contest with one Uchiha Sasuke. Both were glaring at each other, trying to be the superior emo. (A/N Naruto's not really emo or gothic. He is just dark and acts that way…)

Sasuke broke eye contact with Naruto and glared at the board. Naruto turned his attention to the rest of the class. Five individuals caught his eye. There was an extremely lazy person from the Nara clan, though as a male, it was understandable. His name was Nara Shikamaru. Sitting next to him was a big male person, Akimichi Choji. The Akimichi clan were known for their body expansion jutsu which explained why members of that clan were so fat…fat being a taboo word around them…

The next person to catch his eye was known as Inuzuka Kiba, a young teen that was very arrogant. He had a ninja dog, a ninken, who assisted Kiba in combat, named Akamaru. The last male to catch his attention was mysterious. His name was Aburame Shino, and he wore a full body cloak. His eyes were concealed by black shades.

Naruto turned his attention to the only girl to catch his attention. Her name was Hyuuga Hinata. Most Hyuuga were stuck up, with a stick shoved up their asses. But she was not like the others. She had a hime cut hairstyle. She possessed the Byakugan, but her eyes had a tinge of a pale lavender color. Her eyes made her look beautiful, but a door slamming open shattered his vision of her beauty.

Two girls then entered the room. "Aha! My foot was in first!" Shouted the pink haired girl, Haruno Sakura.

"No, my foot entered first!" Screamed a girl named Yamanaka Ino, who had blond hair, but a lighter shade, platinum blonde.

"No way! Since I was here first, I get to sit next to Sasuke-kun!" This statement then brought about an argument between all of the girls in the room, save Hinata, who all wanted that seat.

"OK class, settle down…" Said the Chunin instructor, Umino Iruka. Entering the room with him was another Chunin instructor, Mizuki.

When the class quieted down, Iruka then spoke, "Now, today is the Genin Exams! Pass all three parts, and you become a Genin! First is the written portion…"

XxX

"OK class, follow Mizuki to the training grounds, where he will grade you on your projectile accuracy! Following that is the Ninjutsu Exam!" Iruka said once everyone's pencils were down while motioning to his partner who smiled almost too kindly at the students. Naruto simply glared at the man, he could always tell a fake smile from a true one.

XxX

"I'm pleased to see 27 graduates! Keep this up, and you will graduate!" Iruka said happily while looking at the more reduced classroom. He then continued to call on classmates until, after a long list of names; Naruto was finally called.

"OK Naruto, you have to do the three academy ninjutsu, the Body Replacement Jutsu, the Transformation Jutsu, and at least three clones using the Clone Jutsu..." Iruka spoke while writing on his notepad.

"Got it! OK…Body Replacement Jutsu!" (Kawarami no Jutsu) Naruto replaced himself with a chair.

"Transformation Jutsu!" (Henge no Jutsu) Naruto then transformed into Iruka.

"Alright, now for the last one…Clone Jutsu!" (Bunshin no Jutsu) Shouted Naruto but sadly, Naruto only produced one half dead clone, causing Iruka to sigh and fail Naruto…much to Mizuki's delight!

XxX

After class, Naruto was calmly leaning against a tree muttering, "I'll pass next year…"

"Hey Naruto!" A voice spoke from behind him. Naruto turned to see none other than Mizuki who was smiling kindly at him.

"Unless you have something important to tell me…go away." Naruto spoke while turning back around.

"I know of a way to pass…" Mizuki said wistfully.

This catches Naruto's attention who only said, "Go on…"

XxX

At the same time, the current Hokage, the Sandaime, approached Iruka for a brief discussion. When Hiruzen was finished, Naruto had disappeared.

XxX

Later that night, Naruto smirked while carrying a huge scroll in his hand. Earlier, he had warned the Hokage, so the scroll Naruto possessed was a forgery.

'What jutsu should I practice with first? There's the Shadow Clone Jutsu, (Kage Bunshin no Jutsu) and Clone Great Explosion. (Bunshin Diabakuha) But that's all that's in the scroll." Naruto spoke to no one in particular. At least, that is what it would appear to anyone in the outside world would think.

"I have no opinion, but the second one…it requires much more chakra to use…so don't use it unless you have to…" The voice in his head added its own two cents. Naruto had no true idea of why he had the voice, which called itself Shadow, in his head outside of the possibility that he had MPD. (Multiple Personality Disorder) But following its advice always led to good results, so he will keep following it.

Naruto learned both jutsu within an hour, but afterwards was confronted by Iruka.

"About time you got here. What took you so long?" Naruto commented snidely while rolling back up the scroll.

"I was…LOOK OUT!" Shouted Iruka as he shoved Naruto out of the way. Iruka was struck by a bunch of shuriken, fatally wounding him.

"Naruto, GIVE ME THE SCROLL!" Shouted the assailant who attacked, who turned out to be Mizuki, armed with a giant Shuriken strapped to his back.

"No Naruto! He's after the scroll! RUN!" Iruka shouted in pain while attempting to remove the Shuriken from his back. But to both Iruka and Mizuki's shock, Naruto jet shoes activated, and he took off. But in reality, it was a Shadow Clone. The real one was leaning against a tree, not far from Iruka.

"Why are you protecting him? You know what he is." Mizuki commented arrogantly while sneering at Iruka.

"He's…different. He is not a demon!" Iruka shouted in denial while shaking his head.

Mizuki simply grew furious at his former friend and shouted in, at least his opinion, righteous anger, "You are wrong! He's the KYUBI NO YOKO!"

"NO! He's…Uzumaki…Naruto!" Iruka shouted as blood loss started to affect him.

Naruto simply looked at Iruka in shock. He knew that the man did not treat him as badly as most others but he had no idea he felt this strongly that Naruto was not truly evil. He then grew furious at Mizuki for harming someone who believed in him before he felt an energy coursing through his veins while Shadow thought, 'What's this? I can feel…the Chaos Powers!'

"Naruto! Use…" Shadow shouted in his mind as Naruto jumped from where he was hiding, startling the two Chunin.

"I'm not a demon! Chaos…Spear!" Naruto shouted as his hands crackled with whitish-energy.

So Shadow's powers are finally unleashed! What happens next?. If you review, you'll know in my next update! Laterz
