Sui here: I don't own Naruto or Ookami. I don't even own this idea, credit goes to the author Alaster Warhaven(I suggest his stories, he has some good stuff) and I have permission from him to use his idea. Just so you know this chapter is pretty much the same as Warhaven's first chpter with the divergence point being near the end of the chapter(with a few changes along the way). In case you're wondering, there will be eventual Naru/Hina. Why, you ask? Because I'm the author and I like that paring.

Chapter One: A God's Power Awakened

Run... Run was all he could do. All that he knew, Only 6 years old and Naruto Uzumaki was running for his life.

"Get him!"

"Kill HIM!"

"Don't let the Demon get away!"

The villagers... They were monsters; everyone but a few people in this village was a monster. At least to Naruto, at least to this innocent child; He'd never done anything to them.

He'd never stolen, never started a fight and never bullied the other children. He never even called anyone names without a reason.

Little Naruto ran as fast as he could. 'Almost there!' he thought. 'Almost home!' He was only a couple blocks from his apartment he repeated his mantra in hopes of out running the monsters.

"Almost there, almost there, almost-GAH!"

Naruto was almost to the steps leading to his room, but before he could put a foot on the first step, one of the villagers threw a meat cleaver at him. The blade flew through the air and buried itself into his thigh nearly severing his leg.

The monsters surrounded him, they laughed at him, ridiculed him, and now they'll kill him. The pain coming from his leg and the fear was too much as he fell unconscious.

They raised their weapons; pots, pans, kitchen knives, clubs, and old rusty swords. They struck down but before metal met flesh one of the villagers yelled "WAIT!" stopping them. The turned to the man with murder in there eyes.

"We not kill it here. Old monkey in tower kill us all if we kill here." The man looked like he was mad He was twitchy, wearing dirty torn rags for clothing, and had shaggy dirty knotted up black hair. One eye seemed to bug out while the other looked normal.

"Therese an old abandoned temple, yes, YES, ju-just outside the village in the forest! We kill it there! We make it pay it's BLOOD FOR OUR BLOOD!"

Normally the villagers would ignore the old madman but he was right. If they killed the demon here the Hokage would find out and find them. Then he'd kill them.

They put Naruto in an old garbage bag and fallowed the village lunatic.

(Old Temple)

When the villagers entered the temple with Naruto still in the bag, they couldn't help but start at it in awe. The inside was massive, so much so that it made the Hokage tower look like a porta-john.

The building it's self was open. No walls just pillars. In the back part of the building was a titanic sakura tree, though oddly shaped. The base where the roots grew was wide with a rope of sacred talismans tied around it as they looked up to the top the tree got thinner and thinner and then started to curl into a over curled "question mark" shape. The tree was over flowing with Sakura blossoms that fluttered through the air.

Right in front of the tree was a statue of a wolf. The statue was made of the purest white marble. The nose was made of obsidian and the eyes of topaz. The shoulders, hips, tail and ankles had beautiful swirling spikes mounted on them. But by far the most stunning features of the marble wolf were its markings.

All over its face, shoulders, fringes, sides, and back were deep crimson markings that rivaled even the best rubies. On its back was a large disk. The disk it's self was beautifully crafted with a depiction of flames on it; the flames were a beautiful, swirling mix of reds, oranges, yellows, blues, and turquoise. It was a wondrous site.

Below the statue was an inscription plated with gold and obsidian.

It read: "Here we worship the sun. Here we worship glorious Amaterasu, mother to us all and all there is. Savior from when our world was threatened by the unyielding darkness that was the demon lord Yami. My we praise her name for all eternity, and may our beautiful country of Nippon never see such darkness again."

"Nippon, Wasn't that the old name of the Elemental Continent?" one villager asked the leader of the mob. (A/N: No Konoha is not built were Kamiki use to be. But Kamiki is hidden in the forest somewhere.)

"Who cares?" the leader answered. "It's Just a old raggedy temple to one of the old Gods, Just a bunch of fairytale mumbo jumbo. Let's kill the demon and get out of here."

They took Naruto out of the garbage bag and tossed him in front of the statue.

(Meanwhile on the Celestial Planes)

A beautiful woman was pacing back and forth in a council room, she appeared to be distressed and on the verge of tears. She had pale peach colored skin, and long flowing white hair. Her lovely heart shaped face was marked with the same crimson lines as the marble wolf in the temple and on the top of her head was a pair of white wolf ears.

She wore a white kimono with crimson embroidery similar to the marks on the marble wolf. In the back of the kimono was a hole just above her buttocks for her white and crimson wolf tail to come out.

"You have to let me save him, please!" Okami Amaterasu cried tears flowing from her topaz colored eyes.

In front of her were 14 other gods, each with similar but far more simple looking red markings on their faces and white kimonos.

First was Yomigami, God of rejuvenation and restoration. He looked like a very tall old man, with a long sagely beard and long dragon horns sprouting from his head, and long thin mustache.

Next was Tachigami, god of war and blades. He was a small man with mouse ears on the top of his head, a Tachi (Large Sword) sheathed on his hip.

Next was the Hanagami triumvirate Sakigami, Hasugami, and Tsutagami, Gods of Flora. The triplets looked basically the same. They all wore tall skinny hats and had thick beards. The main differences were height and muscle mass. Sakigami was shortest and slightly pudgy. Hasugami was average height and weight, and Tsutagami was tall and muscular

Next was Bakugami, God of Explosive force, he was a large burly man with tusks growing out of his face and pig-like ears in place of human ones.

Next was Nuregami, Goddess of Water. She was tall and slender like her snake form, she had snake like eyes and had her jar of water tied to her wrist.

Next, was Yumigami, Goddess of the Moon. She was a small cute looking woman with a dangerous glint in her eyes. She had long rabbit ears on her head and she let her mochi mallet rest on her shoulder.

Next was Kazegami, God of Wind. He was a well-built man with an ornamental fan in his hand. He had a long face with horse ears atop his head and long mane of swirling hair.

Next was Moegami, God of Fire. His features were slightly different. His hair was a fiery red as apposed to the usual white of the others. He smoked an old fashion pipe, his phoenix wings folded against his shoulders and chest. His hair and beard were styled to vaguely resemble the comb and waddle of a rooster.

Next was Kasugami, Goddess of Mist. She has short wholly hair and sheep ears. She also had a death grip on a flask of sake and appeared to be drunk, though still alert.

Next was Kabegami, Goddess of Walls. She was also small but cute looking with cat like eyes and cat ears atop her head.

Next was Gekigami, God of Thunder and Lightening. He was a fierce looking man with crimson tiger stripe embroidery on his battle kimono. A large longbow was sheathed on his back and a quiver of lightening-bolts on his hip. His head was adorned with tiger ears.

And last was Itegami, God of Ice and Blizzards. He was a giant of a man with bull horns and ears. Tied around his shoulder was a very large conch shell that emitted a cool breeze.

Moegami stood from his seat and spoke in a respectful but annoyed tone. "We understand your concern but we cannot allow you to meddle in the affairs of mortals any longer. You were able to those many centuries ago because the world was threatened by Yami, Orochi and the other greater demons."

"But he's my son!" she cried again this time collapsing to her knees. Yomigami, Nuregami and Kabegami did there best to comfort her. Itegami the stood and spoke in a cold booming tone. "Than may be, but demigod or not he is also mortal and his power hasn't even awakened yet."

Amaterasu began to cry harder into her hands while Kabegami hugged her. "Please...he'll die! He's only six years old!" Amaterasu suddenly stood up fury burning in her eyes, Tendrils of white energy lashing out of her.

"You talk about evil and darkness when you just sit here and watch an innocent child get beaten to death." She charged at Moegami, grabbed him by the collar of his kimono and picked him up. "There were NINE demons out there including the new Kyuubi and you wouldn't lift a finger to help them! You just said 'these humans hold a new power, let them defend themselves' I nearly died when I fought the previous Kyuubi on Oni Island!" she pushed down and glared at the other gods.

"I agree with Amaterasu!" Yomigami yelled in a deep booming voice. "All we've done for the past few centuries is sit here!"

"HERE HERE!" the Hasugami Triumvirate exclaimed. This in turn caused brought all the gods into the argument; some for the Naruto's rescue others for continued isolation.

This continued for a few moments before the gathering felt a pulse of power unlike any they had felt for hundreds of years. They turned their eyes to the portal showing Naruto's impending death just in time to see what was happening.

(Old Temple of Okami Amaterasu)

The villagers were walking away from Naruto, having made sure that he wasn't breathing and his heart wasn't beating before leaving. However, as they were walking away, they felt a pulse of power accompanied by a huge burst of killing intent.

The villagers turned around in time to see what was happening. Naruto had a white aura around him, but it was quickly tainted with a deep black before the odd mixture erupted in a flash of light. When the light died down, in Naruto's place was a wolf that was about the size of a golden retriever. This wasn't what terrified the villagers though, what did was that the wolf's fur was pitch black and seemed to be absorbing the light like a void. It also had tufts of fur that swirled and spiked on its shoulders, hips, tail, and ankles as well as bloody red swirling and twisting marking covering its body. Its eyes were shining crimson and filled with bloodlust. To top it all off, the wolf creature had an odd disk hovering over it's back with an intricate carving of flames on it and with black and white fire spewing from the sides and flaring back, as though caught in the wind.

Before anyone could comprehend what had happened there was a sudden sense of deja vu. The villagers, who hadn't noticed the momentary lapse in time never knew what was coming before they all simultaneously split in two, as though cut by a giant blade horizontally.

(Back in the Celestial Plain)

The gathered gods were shocked to see Naruto's transformation and even more shocked to see the Kyuubi's power tainting him. As they watched they noticed that Naruto had stopped time in the usual fashion for using a brush technique and were all confused before Tachigami was engulfed in a dark aura that could only belong to the fox and when the aura died down there his power seemed oddly weakened. Feeling another pulse of power, the gods turned back to the portal in time to see Naruto use Tachigami's power to slice the villagers in two.

Everyone was completely silent before Yomigami spoke.

"What have we allowed to happen?" He intoned in a somber voice.

Sui: There, chapter one. Hope you all like it and if you don't, rest assured, your flames will be stored away and used to keep my house warm in the winter so I don't have to pay a heating bill.
