Naruto: Prince of Darkness

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, as it's Masashi Kishimoto's. Along with Hellsing, belonging to Kouta Hirano.

AN: This is an adopted (and inspired) story from Maltrazz.

1: Death of the Prince

Kakashi was thrilled -no- he was bloody ecstatic!

His team and one extra, who was a civilian had encountered Zabuza Momochi. An obviously A-ranked missing nin. Putting the silver haired nin on edge, because of the risk of aborting the mission altogether. That and putting the last Uchiha at risk of death on their first mission outside the village. However 'luck' was on his side and his students all agreed to continue with the mission.

He had even thanked Kami for him for getting another Kekkai Genkai in the form of Zabuza's tool, Haku.

Kakashi had panicked when the young teen had appeared in front of his Raikiri, but was instantly relieved when Naruto had shoved the Hyoton user out the way. Instead, with that small chance given to him, he had pumped more chakra into his jutsu.

In hope of killing the Kyuubi brat, avenging his beloved sensei. He looked into its eyes to only see betrayal flash across them. However there was something else, that something, he couldn't put his finger on. The silver haired man quickly dismissed it as the light in the blonde's eyes faded.

Joy and dread filled being being, when he realized that there could have been witnesses. And those witnesses were called Sakura and Tazuna. The cyclops swiftly looked over to his most useless student and his current client. A sigh of relief inaudible escape through his mask, noting that the both of them had fainted. Probably due to the Kyuubi releasing its killing intent.

The Konoha Jounin shook the corpse off and over the unfinished bridge railings. His focus returning to the missing-nin and his apprentice in front of him.

"Well, well, well... It looks like you can't even kill one man...' Gatou appeared, mocking the injured swordsman he had 'hired'.

"Gatou... Why are you here?"

"Hahaha! I decided to change some plans... Wait, I planned this from the beginning! Kekekeke! I was never going to pay you! You're too expensive, so you are going to die here."

"What?!" Zabuza yelled angrily.

"So much for your title, 'Demon of the Mist'. It's most like 'Baby Demon of the Mist'. Ha!" The short man smirked.

"Kakashi, since we're no longer enemies, lend me a kunai."

With that request, the masked man tossed him one, after the rogue nin tore the bandages off his mouth. The taller man caught it with his mouth and glared at the midget ahead of him.

"Kill them!" The height challenged businessman commanded.

The mercenaries he hired; roared, charging at the ninjas before them.

"I'm going down, because I'm going to take you with me to Hell!" Zabuza managed to yelled out and mercilessly killed the men Gatou had hired.

After the massacre of a number of thugs and one greedy man. The residents of Wave came, with varying items to be used as weapons. Which drove off the last of Gatou's men. The mob cheered in victory, happily to be finally free from the horrible tyrant.

Haku mourned for her mentor/father figure, after he had given his surrogate daughter his last words. She was also mourning for Naruto, a person who could have been a good friend, if they had met in different circumstances. Tazuna was woken by his grandson, as Sakura was awakened by her sensei.

The crowd had already headed back to their village, as Inari, Tazuna and his guards returned to the bridge builder's home for well deserved rest. Sasuke had regained consciousness in the guest room, with Sakura cheering a little too loudly for the Uchiha's tastes.

"Hn... Where's the Dobe?" The raven haired teen asked, as he managed to sit up, without the help of his annoying fan-girl.

Kakashi took that moment to let out a sad sigh. His two students looked towards the door and were surprised when he had put away his smut.

"I'm sorry to tell you guys this... He died in the fight..." It was short. Too blunt. Kakashi gauged their reactions.

"W-what? H... How?" Sakura choked up.

The silver haired Jounin had a solemn face or tried to, as he was wearing a mask that covered up most of his face. Anyways, he told them what had happened.

"Naruto somehow managed to knock out the fake hunter-nin, which resulted him thinking he could take Zabuza on. I demanded him to stay out of our fight, but he refused to listen to reason. He charged at Zabuza and was cut down, the force sent him over the side of the bridge. I tried to get to him, but my path was blocked and continued to fight against Zabuza. When our fight was over, I sent some shadow clones to find his body..."

"... And?" The pinkette timidly inquired.

All Kakashi could do was have an expression of pain of his face and shook his head negatively. With that, the teen girl burst into tears, as Sasuke clenched his fists.

*Knock, knock*

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but dinner is ready." Tsunami spoke softly, although loud enough for the Konoha nin could hear her.

The three ninjas, along with Tazuna's family ate quietly, with minimal chatter at the table, because they were mourning the orange wearing blonde. Who had brought back the courage within the citizens of Wave. All except for Kakashi...

As the said man was relishing (inwardly) for the death of the Kyuubi, a child's voice echoed around in the dining room.

'Ichi, Ni...
I'm coming for thee...'

A giggle resonated in the room before it had disappeared. The voice had chilled everyone's spines, as Sakura managed to sputter out a sentence.

"S-sensei? What w-was tha-at?"

"Probably some kid playing a prank..." Was Kakashi's calm response.

"O-okay."

The quiet, depressing air in the room had disappeared, leaving only tension, as the group tried to continue eating. On the other hand, the Jounin sent out a subtle chakra pulse, to find the chakra signature of the voice they had just heard.

He wanted to make sure that they were not a threat; after all, some of Gatou's thugs could come back. However, there was no signature to be found- which caused some worried to sprout. As he knew that every living thing had chakra... Heck! Even Gai's student had a minuscule amount of chakra too!

The masked man frowned, as he wondered... How?
