AN: This is a story that I've been thinking of writing for a while now when I was suddenly struck by inspiration yesterday for it and wrote this in a few hours. This stories Naruto will be OOC and will most likely become god-like in terms of power.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or anything else that may or may not appear in this fic that belongs to someone else. I also want it on the record that this story has a bit of religion in it, but it is just the basis of the story idea and is in no way shape or form suppsoed to be taken as more then what I've written to move the story forward.

He Who Inherits the Power of the Crown

"Talking"

'Thinking'

"Other Talking"

"Kyuubi Talking"

'Kyuubi Thinking'

'Why?' Naruto Uzumaki a blond haired, blue eyed, whisker marked boy, in the tattered remains of what was once an orange jump suit thought, forlornly.

What could he have done to deserve this? To be left tied up by his so called team. To be left at the mercy of the varies ninja and civilians of the village he swore to protect, for something he had no control over.

'Why?'

For twelve years he put up with their hatred, their glares, and their spiteful words, and for what? Nothing, absolutely nothing had changed.

'WHY?'

Today had officially become a genin and member of Team Seven under Kakashi Hatake, the copycat ninja, along with Sasuke Uchiha, prodigy of the Uchiha clan, and Sakura Haruno, the smartest kunoichi of their year. They had taken the bell test, the test that would decide if they became ninja of Konohagakure no Sato, or if they would be sent back to the academy for another year. From the word go, actually even before that, things had been bad for him. Not only did he get poked in the ass, but was also tied up upside down in a tree, twice. It was when he freed himself the second that he tried to eat the bentos Kakashi brought, after his sensei had told him and his teammates not to eat breakfast, only to be caught and tied to a training post as punishment.

It was only after his teammates offered to share their lunch with him did Kakashi reveal the true purpose of the bell test and passed them, teamwork. Kakashi had then offered to take them out to eat, ramen of all things he was sure that Kakashi was being extra mean to him when he made the offer, only to leave him tied to the training post.

So he was forced to wait for them to come back and free him, to hungry to do it himself. Hours had gone by and they never came back, Naruto started to worry that he would be forced to stay there all night when a pair of chunins came by. Naruto had immediately called out to them hoping they would finally cut him loose. But like everything else in his life, things only got worse for the young boy.

The two chunin apparently hated him, like a majority of the village, for something he couldn't control. Being the jinjuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. So not being able to let such an opportunity pass them, for the next couple of hours he was their training dummy punches, kicks, kunai, shuriken, and ninjutsu, everything possible was used against him and on him. When one of the chunin had left, he thought had finally caught a break. His hopes were quickly crushed when the chunin returned with other shinobi and villagers, all who wanted to make the "demon brat" pay. For the rest of the night he was beaten and tortured, being set on fire and impaled with varies weapons were some of the gentler things done to him.

And here he was now beaten, hungry, alone, and he finally had enough and didn't care anymore. His dream, this village, and his life it all meant nothing to him anymore, and he was ready to accept death.

"Is that so?" spoke a voice that was soft as silk, yet as cold as ice at the same time.

"Who's there?" Naruto asked as he frantically looked around for the source of the voice, worried that one of his tormentors had decided to come back for another go at him.

"Don't worry child." The voice said seemingly coming from nowhere and everywhere, "I won't hurt you. But I believe we should speak face to face." It finished before Naruto blacked out.

Mindscape

When Naruto opened his eyes the first things he noticed was that 1.) He was no longer tied up. 2.) He seemed to be in some type of sewer.

"Well seems like my jailor has decided to grace me with his presence." A dark and deep voice said from behind him. Turning around Naruto found himself staring at a pair of crimson slit eyes behind a steal gate that was being held closed by a piece of paper with the kanji for seal written on it.

It only took a second for Naruto to register what was said and realize who was behind the cage, "Kyuubi." Naruto said in just above a whisper.

"Nice to see my container isn't a complete idiot." Kyuubi said in contempt.

"Why did you bring me here?" Naruto demanded barely keeping the anger he felt out of his voice. He already figured that if the Kyuubi was here then he was most likely inside the seal.

Kyuubi bared its fangs at Naruto in what it tried to pass off as a smile. "Weren't you the one who said he was tired and didn't care anymore?" Kyuubi asked, "Release me Naruto, pull of the seal and I'll make sure that all those who wronged you suffer." Kyuubi said. Naruto wasn't sure what to do, once upon a time he would tell Kyuubi to go to hell, but the day's events had really worn him down and he almost did what Kyuubi asked. Kyuubi's smile became even more vicious seeing how Naruto didn't out refuse him, "They have hurt you Naruto, they have made you suffer through hell for twelve years. They must be punished for their sins against you, and I can make it possible if you remove the seal."

Naruto almost caved in at this point, as he suddenly remembered all the nights he cried himself to sleep. All the times he woke up in the hospital after his birthday. Finally being abandoned by his team right after they formed, and the night he just suffered through. Naruto slowly walked forward his hand reaching out for the seal. 'They deserve everything that is going to happen to them.'

"Yes kit, release me and you will have revenge." Kyuubi spoke softly its eyes trained on the hand that will grant it its freedom.

"I think that is quite enough Kyuubi," the soft voice from before said from right behind the blond. Spinning around once he heard the voice Naruto found himself staring at what looked like a blond haired child angel wearing a white robe, with ten wings, five on each side and two coming out of his head, and gold rings around his hands and feet. What kept Naruto from saying this kid was an actual angel was the archaic purple tattoos on the left side of his body, and cruel blue eyes.

"Who are you?" Naruto demanded as he shifted into a fighting stance just in case he was an enemy.

"Relax child I've already said I wouldn't hurt you, I was the one who brought you here. As to whom I am, that is irrelevant." He said as he calmly walked forward, none of his the steps making a sound despite the water on the ground. "But I have an offer for you, Naruto." He finished with a small cold smile.

The smile if anything just caused Naruto to become even more nervous as it will filled with a feeling cruelty rather than reassurance. "How do you know my name?" Naruto asked nervously.

"I've been watching you for quite a while Naruto." The angel said simply.

"You're been watching me?" Naruto asked starting to get freaked out, "How?" he might be a terrible ninja but when you've grown up like he has you know when you are being watched.

"Again irrelevant." He said with finality, "Now on to my offer. As I've watched you I noticed something special about you, no not Kyuubi." He said as Naruto turned to look at the great beast, "Inside of you there is a light so pure it is quite outstanding, but there is also a terrible darkness that matches that light. For so long the two were evenly balanced, but that balance was destroyed and the darkness consumed you. Because of this imbalance you now stand at a crossroads of power, accept my offer or return to what you had before, nothing."

"But, why me when there are people like Sasuke?" Naruto asked.

The smile the angel now wore was like the ones adults give children when they are explaining something simple, "It is true that the Uchiha has a darkness inside him that compares to yours, but it is the light he lacks and you poses that makes this offer possible. In this world people are either light or dark, or some level in between, and while some may change they are still either one or the other never both. Except you Naruto you're the exception to this all important rule."

Naruto nodded his head in understanding, even though some of what he said just barely made sense to him, signaling to the angel that he could continue.

"My offer to you Naruto is power, power to take your revenge against those who wronged you." He said.

"But-," Naruto began about to say how Kyuubi was offering the same thing when he was cut off by the angel.

"This power Naruto would be yours to command without restriction. The power needed to destroy armies and bring entire nations on their knees. The power of seven, the power of the crown, the power of the king," He said with a grand flourish spreading his arms out wide, as his smile became more sinister, "power to challenge Kami herself."

Naruto stared on in shock as the words registered in his mind, "The power to challenge Kami. The power of the king." He said in disbelief.

The angel's smile lost most of its malice and actually gained a bit of warmth, "Yes and all you have to do is accept it?"

Naruto was unsure what he should do. It was obvious that this guy, whoever he was, wasn't exactly the angel he portrayed himself to be or that his offer for power was a joke, but why should he care in the end. After everything that the village had done to him so what if he made a deal with the devil. He would do whatever he had to do in order to gain power, so he was never weak like he was today, and show he could protect himself. And if a couple of people had to suffer to get the point across so be it.

"Fine, I accept." Naruto said without a bit of hesitation.

"Good, but first I have a gift for you." He said, as a scroll that was the size of the Forbidden scroll appeared.

"What is that?" Naruto asked curious.

"This." He began as he unrolled the scroll, "is a summoning contract. All you need to do is sign this in your blood."

"A summoning for what exactly?" Naruto questioned, as he pulled out a kunai and nicked his thumb. He already agreed to accept this guy's offer for power he had no reason to doubt him now.

"That child will be a surprise for now. You'll also have to ask someone to teach you the hand signs for the Kuchiyose jutsu." The angel replied.

"Don't you know them?" Naruto asked finding it strange that someone who could offer something like he had wouldn't know at least that much.

The angel laughed, though it sounded cold, cruel, and somewhat mocking to Naruto, "Of course, but I think I'll make you work for this." He answered, as Naruto finished writing his name and the scroll disappeared. "One final thing Naruto if you accept this power it will change you. Do you still agree to this?" At Naruto's nod he continued, "Now then accept your crown Naruto, accept the power that is rightfully and solely yours." the angel said as he held his hand out to Naruto. From it dark energy gathered before it pierced Naruto's heart. For a moment Naruto wanted to scream his lungs out, but that urge quickly went away, as the energy seemed to become almost comforting to him. Seven circles with intricate symbols suddenly appeared on various parts of Naruto's body before slowly fading away. (1)

"That was…different." Naruto said as he slowly regained his breath.

"Yes, but so very much worth it. Now rest once you awaken you will be a different person." the angel said.

"Very well," Naruto answered with a nod, as he disappeared from the mindscape.

A heavy dark chuckling could be heard as Kyuubi spoke after being strangely silent, "Things will become very interesting now don't you think L-,"

"Yes," the angel said before Kyuubi could finish, "I must admit I'm interested in seeing how young Naruto will change the would now." He said thinking it over and coming to a decision. "I think I'll stay a while and watch."

Next Morning

Three figures made their way to training ground seven in search of their missing teammate. There was a man with gray gravity defying hair with most of his face covered, the exception being his right eye, which was currently stuck inside an orange book, wearing the standard Konoha shinobi uniform. Behind him were two twelve year old kids, a boy and girl. The boy was brooding over nothing in particular with black hair in the shape of a duck's ass, and black eyes. He wore a blue high collared shirt, white shorts, blue ninja sandals, and with his forehead protector where it belonged. The girl had pink hair with emerald colored eyes, wearing a red battle dress with blue skin tight shorts underneath. And blue ninja sandals. She was using her forehead protector as a hair band keeping her hair in place. They were Kakashi Hatake, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno respectively, the final members of Team Seven.

"Where is he?" Sakura grumbled, "That baka is going to pay for not showing up."

"Now, now Sakura I'm sure Naruto's around here somewhere there's no need to get angry. Just look at Sasuke he doesn't mind looking for our missing teammate, do you Sasuke?" Kakashi said never taking his eyes off his book.

"Hn"

"Well isn't this nice. Looks like my team finally remembered me." A cold voice said. Looking around they couldn't find the source of the voice. It wasn't until Kakashi looked at the training post that his shinobi skills picked up a minor genjutsu. Dispelling it the source of the voice, their missing teammate, appeared still tied up to the tree stump where they left him. The first thing they all noticed was that Naruto's jumpsuit was barely being held together at the seams, with dried up blood stains covering most of it. The second thing they noticed was that his vibrant blond hair was several shades lighter where it bordered on being white, his once ocean blue eyes were a cold storm grey, and his skin was paler then it was yesterday, not on the same level as Sasuke or a certain snake but still.

Kakashi quickly rushed forward in order to free his student. "Hang on Naruto I'll take you to the hospital in a second."

"Unnecessary." Naruto stated as he snapped the ropes himself, "I am perfectly fine. If I had not freed myself before it was because I was curious to see how long it would take for my teammates and sensei to find me." He stated indifferently as he moved pass them.

"Naruto what happened to you?" Sakura asked with a bit of concern in her voice.

Naruto spared the pink haired girl a glance before looking away, "The usual." He said simply before continuing, "Anything else is none of your concern."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, his curiosity mildly peaked, "Usual? What does that mean dobe?"

Naruto glanced at the Uchiha before closing his eyes and letting out a sigh of annoyance, "Like I said Uchiha it is none of your concern, but if you can't help yourself then sensei knows and can answer your question if he wishes." He said his voice never losing the cold, uncaring, and emotionless tone or losing his look of indifference. Sasuke would not admit it unnerved him a bit at how similar Naruto was to Itachi right then.

"Naruto," Kakashi spoke up again, "why do you look different?" he questioned wondering if this was somehow the Kyuubi's doing.

"I can assure you that the cause in the change of my appearance is not the reason your thinking sensei." Naruto said, "As to why I look like this, that is something I'll speak only with the Hokage about." He finished staring right at Kakashi.

"Baka answer Kakashi-sensei's question!" Sakura yelled once it became obvious that was all Naruto was going to say.

Naruto let out another sigh, "Be silent Haruno I don't have the patience to deal with you this morning." He said gaining surprised looks from his teammates as he not only refused Sakura, but called her something besides "Sakura-chan". Seeing the surprised looks Naruto decided to put an end to this right now, "Understand this perfectly the Naruto you both thought you knew no longer exists. I will not stand for either of you or anyone else to think I am the same Naruto you all used to push around, understood?" he asked though he had turned his attention back to Kakashi before they could answer, "I believe we have some missions do we not, sensei?" he asked though he was already making his way toward the Hokage tower before he even finished.

"Don't you want to change out of those?" Kakashi asked pointing toward Naruto's ruined clothes.

"No we have more pressing matters to deal with then the issue with my clothes." He replied without looking back.

Kakashi just sighed motioning to his two remaining students to follow along.

"Not even an entire day yet and your already starting to change things." The angel's voice said from inside his head. "What will you do now? Will you take your revenge against the citizens of Konoha?" he asked.

"No." Naruto answered without missing a beat.

"Oh?"

"That might have been my intention in the beginning, but things have changed. After all what kind of king would lower themselves to their level for something so petty as revenge." Naruto explained.

"And if they cross you?"

Naruto's eyes seemed to darken slightly at the question and became quite a few degrees colder, "Then they will be dealt with."

The angel chuckled, as if the very idea of people suffering was amusing, before asking something else. 'I definitely chose well in who would become the heir.' "Tell me Naruto do you know the Legend of the Sun and Moon?"

Naruto menatally raised an eyebrow at the sudden change in topic, but answered anway. "No."

"The Legend of the Sun and Moon," the child angel began, "Should both fall than the world will fall with them, should only one fall then the two are fated to kill each other, and if should they both rise than the world will enter a new era. Do you understand why I am telling you this, Naruto?"

Naruto only had to think for a second before understanding it, "I am one of them." He answered.

"Exactly." The angel replied, "But which one, the Sun or Moon?"

"Once upon a time I would have said I was the Sun, but that is no longer true. I have taken the title of the Moon for myself." Naruto replied.

"And you would be wrong." The Angel said chuckling coldly when he sensed Naruto's confusion, "I told you Naruto, you are special. You are an Eclipse that which is both Sun and Moon, and yet not. You are that which brings chaos to the realm of Kami by being the unknown factor that will decide this world's future."

"I see." Naruto said.

The angel let out another mirthless chuckle, "Do not worry young king it will all make sense with time. For now focus on what you will tell your Hokage." The angel said, as his presence slowly faded from Naruto's mind.

AN: The next chapter for this will come out whenever I get inspired to write for this again, but I'll definitely be working on it.
