TheDon123-Yeah the old monkey f-ed up pretty bad trust me he'll regret it...it may be awhile, but he'll pay. Thanks for your review of this, and my other stories as well I really appreciate it.

dfaf-Yeah he did screw Naruto, and Shizune over allot, as for the Kyubi history thanks. I have all sorts of different backstories for the Demon fox

Call015-Yeah Sarutobi was always manipulating Naruto holding the position of Hokage out for him to strive for knowing damn well theyd never allow the demon brat to have that position. As for the 4th, and Sarutobi being the only ones responsible the way I see it the whole damn village played a role...remember any person could have helped him at any point, but they chose to look the other way. As for killing Sarutobi would you really let the man directly responsible for revealing that you hold the Kyubi not only leading to the village hating you, but to you being hunted by S-class missing-nin live?

To everyone else who reviewed...Thanks.


Chapter 3: Past sins, and another ally

xxxxxxxxxx Konoha Naruto's Apartment xxxxxxxxxx

Naruto was tossing, and turning, he was having nightmares of the horrible way he had killed his mother, Shizune in the previous time line.

--Flashback nightmare--

It had been a year since Naruto had left the village... a year since he was officially declared an S-Class Nukenin by the Rokudaime Haruno Sakura... a year since he started sending back squad, after squad of hunter-nin they sent after him home in body bags...all mutilated to send a message not only to the Rokudaime, and his former village, but most importantly Tsunade.

He had just taken out the last of the ANBU guards that protected the Hokage mansion silently slitting the poor temes ( bastards ) throat stopping long enough to hide the bodies, creating some clones having them henge into their replacements so he wouldn't be discovered until it was too late. Meanwhile all over the village his other Bunshin henged into various people taking their positions in key areas so he could cripple the village killing as many people as possible in the initial attack.

'I can't believe they haven't even changed the old security procedures since I left a year ago no wonder it had always been so easy for people like Itachi, and Orochimaru to sneak in and out of the village all those years ago...idiots.' The former ANBU captain thought in contempt of his old village.

He was taken out of his musings by the sight of Tsunade's friend, and former apprentice Shizune he remembered how the two medic-nins used to regularly come out to the greenhouse where the village grew herbs that were used to make different medicines.

'Damn, she came here alone I was hoping the hag would have come with her so I could have gotten the both them out of the way quickly... oh well ones better than nothing, besides I think I'll have some fun killing her best friend.' He thought as he went in shortly after her making sure to place one of the special seals on the door that he, and his old team before they died had secretly designed to trap targets so they couldn't escape as he silently started stalking her like a predator...

She was kneeled down near the back of the greenhouse picking one of the more rare herbs when a chill suddenly ran down her spine making her shiver slightly.

"Hello Shizune nee-chan..." He said in the same sickly sweet voice he used to use when he was younger. "... It's been awhile hasn't it?" For a moment she thought of the boy..man that she loved like a little brother. She had never agreed with Tsunade's decision to appoint Sakura Rokudaime instead of Naruto saying that she was letting her fear of him cloud her judgment, but Tsunade argued that this was different the Kyubi was absorbed it had nothing to do with the destruction of Iwagakure this time it was all Naruto, she went on to say that he was just too dangerous to be Hokage, a fact that Shizune strongly disagreed with which lead to several heated arguments between her, and her former Mistress.

He had broken her heart when he decided to abandon the village leaving a trail of bodies in his wake she finally agreed even though she never wanted to give up the faith she had in her 'Otouto' having to face the harsh reality...he was a threat to the village that had to be eliminated, but now to her dismay here she was alone with Konoha's most dangerous Nukenin, Uzumaki Naruto...

The medic-nin knew she had to act fast, and alert the village so she dropped the herbs, and spun around while simultaneously standing up pulling the strings on her wrist-mounted needle launcher sending five poisonous needles toward the blond which hit their target, but to her surprise the Naruto she had hit turned into water.

"Shit, Mizu Bunshin ( Water Clone Technique ) I should have known he'd use Bunshin." She scolded herself right before the real Naruto ran towards her at blistering speed delivering a vicious right hook which sent the medic-nin tumbling a few feet backwards where she skidded then flipped herself upright into a defensive position preparing for his next attack.

"Now Shizune is that any way to greet your Otouto ( brother )?" Naruto asked mockingly.

"Teme." ( bastard ) She hissed as she wiped a small trickle of blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand. She knew with Naruto's insane stamina that there was no way she could out last him especially when he liked to use different types of Bunshin she realized she had to end this as fast as possible. Thinking quickly the medic-nin ran through a series of hand signs then opened her mouth releasing a thick purple poisonous gas which quickly filled the greenhouse killing all of the plant's, and medical herbs.

When she heard the tell tell sound of a thud, and the greenhouse ventilation system had kicked in pumping the gas out of the glass building she looked around seeing Naruto's motionless body on the ground she breathed a sigh of relief as she turned to walk out the door, but something was wrong...to her dismay it wouldn't open the dark-haired woman then tried desperately to break the glass,but it wouldn't break.

"Damn it, what the hell!" The usually reserved medic-nin yelled in frustration.

"Don't bother Shizune you won't be able to get out, man I can't believe you of all people would go for the kill so quickly, I'm impressed." She slowly turned around to see Naruto as he got up from the ground, and slowly approached her.

"Wha-What you should be dead, my poisonous gas should have killed you like it did these plants." She said in absolute fear as she spun back around redoubling her efforts to break the glass.

"It did kill me, but luckily... well for me anyway, absorbing the Kyubi all those years ago has quite a few benefits one of which appears to be immortality as for why you can't get out, my ANBU team and I developed this seal tag several years ago to trap our targets so they can't escape it also blocks sound so feel free to scream all you want. You know I was going to be generous and make your death relatively painless, but since you insisted on killing me I've decided to make an example of you."

He moved with such speed that it was as if he was gliding towards her spinning the dark-haired woman around to face him he kneed her in the stomach making her bend over following up by sending an upper cut to her face, which broke her nose spraying blood everywhere as she fell to her knees on the ground.

"Get up!" Naruto hissed as he lifted her by the collar of her black kimono, and punched her in the stomach he had a satisfied smirk on his face having heard a rib brake as blood flew out of her mouth, then pulling on her short jet-black hair he paused his assault long enough to look at the damage he had caused, he continued by slapping her face, then he backhanded her alternating this attack several times sending even more of her blood flying everywhere as he finally let go of her kimono watching coldly as she fell to the floor.

After a few seconds she slowly got on to her hands, and knees trying to crawl away while coughing up small globs of blood.

"Where do you think you're going?" He asked as she slowly moved away from him while simultaneously trying to run a self diagnostic to asses the damage he had done to her.

"Tisk... Tisk... Tisk... we can't have you trying to heal yourself now can we?" He mocked as he put his foot on her back shoving her flat against the ground while grabbing, and pulling up on her arms.

"Now nee-chan this may hurt a bit." He mocked as he applied more, and more pressure.

"Ahhhh!" Shizune screamed as her shoulders popped out of their sockets with a sickening plop he laughed coldly as he let them fall to the ground useless.

Naruto took a thoughtful pose. "You know I think I'll leave the Hokage mansion intact with you're corpse on display as a warning to any other villages that might want to cross me." He said as he went to release the tag, and open the greenhouse door, pulling out an elongated Kunai he walked back to the beaten woman grabbing her by her kimono collar he started to drag her out until he came to the side of the three story Hokage mansion that was right beside the greenhouse.

'Leave the mansion intact? Then that would mean no she had to try and talk him out of it.' The woman thought to herself as the realization hit.

"You're planning on destroying the entire village, no Naruto don't do this...Please Naruto don't, Why would you destroy your home?" She rasped out painfully.

"Why..Why? You can sit there with a strait face and ask me why!" Because that bitch, Tsunade abandoned me, and gave my dream to someone else that's why... all because I did what I was ordered to do If I hadn't destroyed Iwagakure we might have very well lost the war, but what do I get for saving the village yet again...betrayal, and worse of all fear, but don't worry I will succeed where Kyubi, and Orochimaru failed I will destroy this village...I will kill Tsunade, but first I will break her spirit by putting her best friends corpse on display."

He then hit her in the face with the blunt end of his kunai knocking her out and started to walk up the side of the building using chakra while dragging Shizune behind him her cuts, and bruises leaving a trail of bloody streaks flowing to the ground below. When he reached the upper part of the wall on the third story he hauled her up, and shoved the elongated kunai into the middle of her chest pinning her there for all to see.

Ten minutes later a scream could be heard all over Konoha as the former Hokage Tsunade found her friends bloodied, and beaten corpse pinned to the building. Naruto just smirked as all over the village his clones un-hinged right before they whispered.

"Bunshin Bakuha." ( Shadow Clone Explosion ) The last thing the people that were near the Bunshin saw was the faint glow of the 'demon brat' right before they died as explosions went off all over the village...Uzumaki Naruto's assault on Konoha had begun.

--End Flashback nightmare--

Naruto sat up in his bed panting drenched in sweat as the memory of what he had done overwhelmed him. 'Damn Tsunade if only she would have told us the truth...if that teme ( bastard ) Sarutobi hadn't given the damn order in the first place maybe things could have been different, maybe I could have lived a better life...damn them.' He thought bitterly as he reached over to the small lamp that sat on the worn wobbly nightstand by his bed turning it on, his eyes squinted as the sudden influx of light filled his small bedroom.

Looking at the alarm clock he sighed. 'Great four-thirty in the fucking morning I'm never going to get back to sleep... might as well get up.' He thought grumpily as he walked into the bathroom over to the small sink putting his hand on either side as he looked at his cerulean slitted eyes which were reflected in the mirror, then looking down he turned on the water splashing his face.

xxxxxxxxxx Naruto's mind scape xxxxxxxxxx

Unknown to Naruto Azula had been able to see everything that he had dreamt. Through their tentative alliance he had agreed to let her have limited access to his senses until he could perform the soul transfer Jutsu using Sakura's corpse as Azula's new vessel, but what he hadn't planed on was Azula being able to gain partial access to his dream scape.

'I wonder who this woman this Shizune is...whoever she is she seems to be really important to him even though he killed her he seems to regret it, maybe I can use her as a bargaining chip in the future after all you can never be to careful.' She thought as she had been secretly trying to figure out how to gain access to the memories that dealt with the previous time line.

Coming out of her own thoughts she needed to know if he had figured out the answer to their current problem.

xxxxxxxxxx Naruto's apartment xxxxxxxxxx

'So peasant have you figured out how to expand your chakra coils so you can perform the soul transfer?' She asked opening up the mind link they had agreed upon to communicate.

Naruto's right eye twitched slightly at the 'peasant' comment. 'First of all the names Naruto second yes I believe I've figured out a way to expand my coils...we will have to flood my body with your Youkai.'

The Fire binder's eyes widened. 'Are you insane that could kill us...it would take at least five weekly treatments.'

'I'm quite aware of the risks Azula-hime, but I'm willing to take them I have to be strong enough to leave this village in the next few years if we are to succeed.' The blond shot back through the mental link with determination.

Azula sighed in resignation. 'Even if we do this we'll be weak, and vulnerable, we will need to have someone help us...tell me who the hell can we trust in a village where everyone clearly wants you dead?'

'I have a person in mind you see in the previous time line she came to eventually serve under my command in the ANBU, we became good friends I believe she will join our cause theres just one problem though, this early in the time line she hasn't started living in the forest of death yet, and I never found out where she lived before.' He said deep in thought.

'I know, she was always a freak for dango she'll probably have lunch at the dango shop I'll just follow her home her from there.'

xxxxxxxxxx Inside the dango shop xxxxxxxxxx

Naruto had been using the invisibility Jutsu that Jiraiya had taught him in the previous time line so no one noticed him seated at the table across from Anko. He had told the blond that he used it to hide his presence so that he could gather info on Konoha's enemies, but personally Naruto thought he used it to go peeping in various bath houses throughout the shinobi world.

'Man her table manners are almost as bad as yours.' Azula said through the mind link to the boys annoyance.

Finally after half an hour Anko got up walking out of the small shop with Naruto fallowing close behind still concealed in the Jutsu watching as the villagers would glare, and talk about her...he'd hear them call her names like traitor, and snake whore. He clenched his fist tightly at the way they treated his friend, but was proud that she didn't let them get to her holding her head up high ignoring them.

Anko fumbled in the pockets of her tan trench coat pulling out a key unlocking the door as she slowly walked in. Naruto channeled chakra into his small six year old legs quietly slipping in right as the door closed behind her making the young woman feel a slight breeze, but she ignored it.

The eighteen year old Tokubetsu Jounin sighed as she looked around noticing that her apartment had been ransacked while she was away on a mission. Why the hell couldn't they just leave her alone...why did they insist in tormenting her. It had been seven years since she was discovered by ANBU having been abandoned by her former sensei, Orochimaru after marking her with the Heaven Seal...seven years being abused, and tormented by her village for things she didn't do.

"Damn it!" She screamed in anger as she smashed her fist through the glass table sending shards everywhere.

"It hurts doesn't it?" She heard a child's voice say.

"Who the hell's there...show yourself!" She yelled thinking the vandals might still be there.

Suddenly something shimmered in front of her revealing a boy no more than six or seven years old.

She instantly recognized him by his whisker marks. "The Kyubi brat?"

Naruto walked over to the wall of her living room gesturing to the graffiti on her wall. "Snake whore?"

The snake Mistress narrowed her eyes. "Explain what the hell you're doing in my apartment." She hissed dangerously.

"Oh nothing, just thought I'd pop in you know visit an old friend."

"What the hell do you mean old friend? I don't even know you..." But she was interrupted by the strange child.

"...Tell me Anko why do you do it, why do you fight for a village that hates, and despises you?"

"You're to young... you wouldn't understand." She whispered the last part.

"Oh really?...Let me take a wild guess, about seven or eight years ago you were taken by Orochimaru to an Island in Sea Country where you were chosen to be one of his test subjects being among the first to receive his curse seal...I believe 'Heaven' you had a one in ten chance of survival but you beat the odds, and survived only to be brought back to the village to be interrogated like a traitor until the Sandaime took pity on you and had medic-nin seal the mark away." The blond paused to look at her shocked reaction.

"You foolishly think that if you fight for them that they will eventually accept you trust me Anko no matter how hard you fight for them they will never accept people like you, and me. They love making your life a living hell, but you refuse to let them have the satisfaction of seeing you in pain. You have even scared off the very few ninja that have tried to get close to you by fabricating a 'mask' of a crazy sex loving psycho so no one will ever get close enough to harm you like your sensei did...So did I guess right?"

"Th-Thats impossible, How the hell could a little kid like you possibly know all this about me?"

"What if I told you I came from the future?"

Anko snorted. "The future, yeah right surely you can come up with something more believable than that."

"I don't see how that's any harder to believe than a child having a fucking demon lord sealed inside him by a blond teme ( bastard )."

"Y-You know about the demon sealed inside of you? What about the Sandaimes law...how did you find out, who told you?"

"Come now Anko my birthdays October tenth... the villagers are always calling me demon, and Kyubi brat...oh and by the way didn't I just say I came from the future... so yeah I know.

The young woman was stunned, all though she had to admit when she stopped to think about it it made sense that what he said was true, but she wasn't just going to take some strange kids word at face value.

Sensing Anko's doubt Naruto quickly locked eyes with her as his blue slitted eyes started to glow making the womans world distort then disappear.

"What the hell happened...where are we, and who's the girl with the red armer in the huge cage?" The purple-haired woman asked looking around.

"Well I used my eyes to transfer us into my mind scape, and as for the girl..she is Kyubi."

"I'm supposed to believe that that girl is the most powerful demon lord to ever walk the earth...yeah right.

"Perhaps this will convince you peasant." Azula hissed as her body became engulfed in blood red flame as she grew larger, and larger spouting several tails transforming into a huge fox.

"Maybe I should just devour your soul right here and now!" Kyubi bellowed nearly frightening the Tokubetsu Jounin to death.

"All right Azula-hime theres no need to scare her. The reason I've brought you here was to show you bits of the future to prove to you I'm telling the truth." With that Naruto raised his hand and a mirror formed from the ground raising into the air. Fogging up it revealed a room full of Chuunin hopefuls as she stood in front of a huge banner having just broken through the window of the classroom, then it showed them standing in front of the forest of death.

"Welcome to the stage for the second test, area 44..also known as 'the forest of death.' You will soon know why they call it the forest of death."

"You think that scares me? Thats nothing...I'm not afraid! The older, slightly dumber version of Naruto yelled.

"Yeah you're spirited." Anko said with a creepy smile as sh pulled out a kunai, then flung it at him cutting his cheek then she flashed behind him and licked the blood from his cheek...

"That's when we first met each other." Naruto said as the mirror fogged up again revealing a few months after the attack by Sand, and Sound when they were sent on a mission to Sea Country where they worked together with Ino, and Shino to where they stopped some of Orochimaru's subordinates.

"Then years later you joined my ANBU team where we eventually killed your old Sensei as well as his

second in command Kabuto. Naruto said as an image of the battle showed in the mirror...

It revealed the horrible sight of her sensei true form of a giant snake that Naruto had wounded with his Youkai chakra as Anko cut off the head with her ANBU katana while the three other members of there team joined them Naruto ordering them back to the village, as Anko sealed Orochimaru's Serpent head into a scroll.

A month later Otogakure, the village he founded was destroyed by Konoha, and Sand.

Anko then saw her squad gathered at Ichiraku Roman celebrating their victory, but she noticed her Taichou ( Captain ) stirring his ramen deep in thought. Walking up behind him she threw her arms around him kissing him on the cheek.

"Come on foxy this is a party you should be happy as hell...with our victory your a shoe in for Rokudaime."

"I'm not so sure about that, there are other candidates...besides that's not all I'm thinking about I'm also concerned about the recent developments in Iwagakure they seem to be expanding their territory and posturing." The blond man said as he continued to play with his ramen.

"Damn it Taichou you worry to much." She said as she sat on the stool beside him ordering a bowl of miso ramen... little did she know that six months later she along with Naruto's other teammates would die at the hands of the Tsuchikage.

"So this peasant was one of the members of your team that got killed by the Tsuchikage?" Azula said having turned back into her human form.

"Her name is Anko, and yes she was a member of my team, but more importantly she became one of my best friends...someone I could trust with my life."

Anko stood there shocked she couldn't believe what she had heard someone who thought of her as a friend, and trusted her completely she was speechless.

"That's the reason I called you here Anko we need no I need your help."

"What could you possibly need from me?"

"In two weeks we plan on expanding my chakra coils so I can release Azula-hime, but it will take five or so 'treatments' until my coils are expanded we will basically be weak, and defenseless we need someone to watch our backs as well as take care of me for the five weeks I undergo the 'treatments' in exchange I will later transfer half a tails worth of Youkai to you which you can use to get revenge on Orochimaru."

Her brown pupiless eyes widened in shock, he was offering her a chance to get revenge on her former sensei but one thing still bugged her though.

"Why are you doing all of this?"

"That's simple Anko, I want to build a new world... a better world...a world where a child isn't beaten, and hated for something he had no control over...a world where a young woman isn't hated, and treated like trash for crimes her traitorous sensei committed ...but most importantly I want a world without Konoha."

Naruto reached out his hand as Azula looked on from her cage impressed by the boys speech. "So tell me Anko will you help me build may better world?"

The Snake Mistress didn't know what to say for years she had been going through life feeling empty with nothing to believe in, but his words made her believe... if only for a moment that maybe, just maybe he would succeed in making this better world, and at the moment she wanted to help him no matter the cost. The young woman reached her hand out ruffling his hair. "Ya know what kid...I think I will."


Well chap 3 is done hope you liked it. I described his murder of his mother in the other time line, and how the assault started to show that this isn't a friendly Naruto he is indeed a ruthless killer, but I also showed glimpses of him and Anko to show that he's not a total monster. The one thing the Anko scene shows is how he still retains the abilaty to inspire people to join and fight for his cause...whether for good or evil...which when you stop to think about it is a pretty frightening thought.
