Demon Souls

I do not own Naruto or this idea. The idea belongs to kagedoragon

AN. I've been dry in inspiration lately plus I've had collage and a job so things have been slow, so I'm hoping by adopting a couple of stories I will get the juices running

Chapter 1: Proilog

"Kukukuku, did you really think you could do any good against me, boy?"

The voice was laced with something Sakura had never felt in her life before, and it chilled her to the bone. Not that it seemed to bother the blonde who was glaring at the Kusa kunoichi with cold eyes.

"Piss off you freak, before I pound you into the ground!" shouted Naruto. After stopping his dark-haired teammate from giving up their scroll, Naruto had begun to fight the pale-skinned Kusa-nin, landing a few blows before being caught off guard when the enemy used her ridiculously long tongue to lash out at him.

"Kukuku, I'm afraid I cannot do as you wish Naruto-kun, after all, I do have a plan for your precious teammate Sasuke-kun."

'Dammit, there's no way this creep is a Genin with all those weird jutsus she keeps pulling out. Not to mention she's not even breathing hard. Even Zabuza was easier to fight than her, and this killing intent way above his too.' Clearly Naruto was getting annoyed at how this enemy seemed to be unstoppable.

"What do you want with him, huh? The teme's not that special after all." Naruto exclaimed.

"Naruto-baka, shut up about Sasuke-kun. He's way better than a dead-last like you!" came a shriek that caused the others to flinch at the volume. Yes, even in a situation like this, Sakura Haruno still rushed to defend her precious 'Sasuke-kun' from any and all negative remarks about him.

"See, Naruto-kun your little friend there sees the greatness of the Last Uchiha. Though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that you don't like him, after all he gets the best of everything doesn't he, while you are left with nothing. Kukuku, now, why don't you sit back and watch how I deal with him."

"Hn, let's just get this over with. After all, it's not you can stand to the power the elite Uchiha clan has." Sasuke smirked at their opponent, completely forgetting the fact that he had been about to piss himself out of fear before Naruto arrived. The Kusa-nin grinned viciously, and suddenly began making hand seals, and to the surprise of Team Seven, began stretching her neck to a disturbingly snake-like length. As his neck continued to expand, her head began to race towards the Uchiha, who could only watch in shock at how agile this enemy-nin was, and as soon as she reached Sasuke, she bit down on his neck, and began channeling chakra through her teeth. As Sasuke was released, a mark that was similar in shape to the three tomoe of the Sharingan. Sakura and Naruto were about to ask what the enemy did, when their ally suddenly began screaming in pain.

"Sasuke-kun!" completely forgetting that the battle wasn't finished, Sasuke's pup… I mean Team Seven's kunoichi ran to her teammate to check up on him.

"You bastard!" Naruto screamed, charging at the enemy, hands curled into claws, trying to catch her off guard. Managing to get close, Naruto successfully caught a blow on the Kusa-nin's cheek. However, when he got a look at the damage, his breathe caught in his throat. Instead of blood, there was only a paler shade of skin. The girl began to chuckle, and reached up to her face, only to rip it off. Underneath was a pale, yet masculine face, bearing purple marks below the eyes, which had slitted, dark-yellow pupils, very much like a snake's.

Naruto stared in horror at this new visage. "Who the hell are you?" asked Naruto in a nervous tone, as if afraid of the answer.

"I? Why I am… Orochimaru of the Sannin, of course." responded the smug man before biting his finger and making handsigns. He then slammed his hands to the ground and cried "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" A large cloud of appeared and Naruto heard something moving around before a large snake burst from the smoke with its mouth wide open ready to devour him. Jumping out of the way, Naruto formed his own handsigns and shouted "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Several copies of the blond ninja poofed into existence and began throwing kunai and shuriken at the summoned beast. After a number of the weapons struck the serpent in the eye, the snake dispelled itself and returned to where it came from.

With the summon dealt with, Naruto and his clones began looking around for the nuke-nin, only to hear some of the clones being destroyed. Whirling around, Naruto saw the enemy and sent his clones to wear him down, only for them to be taken with far greater ease then he expected. Orochimaru turned towards the young Jinchuuriki with a smirk on his lips.

"Well, this was certainly more entertaining than I thought, however I think that you may prove to be troublesome than necessary to my plans, so…" making handsigns, the snake Sannin grabbed the stunned Gennin's neck with his tongue. Once he was the signs his fingers started to give off purple flames, and Orochimaru revealed the Shiki Fuujin and stabbed his fingers around it, shouting, "Gogyō Fūin!"

Naruto screamed from the pain of the sealing technique, and soon passed out. Hearing the screams, Sakura finally looked from where she tending to Sasuke. As she watched, Orochimaru tossed Naruto, off to the side, where he fell into the darkness of the forest below. As the nuke-nin turned towards her, she asked, "What did you do to Sasuke-kun?" fear and nervousness clear on her face.

"I simply gave him a little gift, one that will have begging for more. I'll spare you for now, as I have more pressing business to attend to. Farewell."

Elsewhere, a seal began pulsing with a dark red energy, energy that gave off an evil, demonic aura. An aura that was sensed by many creatures in the forest, who soon began moving in search of this strange power.
