Chapter 1

A New Terror Of Death Rises

An: Hi this is Granasaber master bringing you the rewrite of my story Naruto the terror of death, I chose to do this because I got to a point where my story was a little confusing to me along with a roadblock in my creativity, So here is the story yet again the rookies are 16 and team Gai are 17.

" Human Talking."

' Human thought.'

" Demon/ empowered person/ higher being speech."

' Demon/ empowered person/ higher being thought.'

" Jutsu/spells/skill triggers."

" YELLING!"

*Sound effects*

Disclaimer: I Granasaber master do not own Naruto nor do I own the .Dot hack franchise there are you happy you blood sucking lawyers.

*Snikt*

Was the sound the dozens of Senbon made as they entered the body of the young blond teen, looking around the teen's gaze fell on one of two other people contained within the dome of ice mirrors. The person that the young man's gaze fell on was a teenager that seemed to be around 16 years of age, the person has black done up in a odd hair style that resembles a rear end of a duck. The dark haired teen has a pale complexion that is a stark contrast to his to black hair and eyes, the teen stands at a modest 5'6 in height while being neither skinny nor overly large. He wears a pair of blue ninja sandals with white shorts and dark blue shirt with a red and white fan symbol on the back, this is Sasuke Uchiha the last loyal Uchiha of Konoha.

The other person in the dome was shorter then the dark teen reaching a height of 5'1, from the way this person dressed it is nearly impossible to tell their gender. They wore a green striped turtle neck sweater with a matching kimono and skirt, the kimono has white edges with green obi around the middle. On their feet are green ninja sandals, the persons face is hidden by a white mask with red markings on it. The masked ninja's black hair is done up in to a bun with a long bang framing either side of the mask, this is Haku the fake hunter nin that sides with Zabuza.

Even with the mask one could tell that Haku's face held a look of pure shock, she had been sure that the person the Senbon had struck was the Uchiha. But instead of the dark Gennin being pierced it was instead the sunny and sweet blond Shin-obi that she had befriend when they had met in the forest a few days earlier. From the shock the boy's face it was easy to see that it was not his idea, Haku looked to the blond teammate seeing the teen looking back at her where she sat in the mirror.

The blond himself looked at his teammate with wide eyes filled with confusion when he saw the look of determination on Sasuke's face. The injured blonde stood from his hunched over stance to his full height of an unimpressive 5'5, the blond teen wore a loose and baggy orange and black jumpsuit that hid his skinny frame. Drawing back we can see as his eye's turn toward his teammate the blue orbs normally filled with energy are now slightly glassed over, his hair is a bright sunny blond that spikes in many directions seemly uncontrolled. On his forehead is a slightly battered Konoha Hai-ate on his cheeks are the six marks that show him as what many fear, this is Naruto Uzumaki the last of his clan and the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko.

Naruto body shakes as he turns to face Sasuke with his breathe becoming labored he forces out a question " Why Sasuke?" his voice almost a whisper. A second later as if his strings were cut Naruto went limp and fell to his knees then on to his face, his forehead making a audible thunk against the hard planks off the unfinished bridge.

The apprentice of the missing nin Zabuza chilled her heart as she watched the blond fall in sight of his uncaring teammate, Haku had been trained to know nearly everything about the human body, seeing where the blond had been hit by the needles she knew that the area's were fatal. Where she aimed at the Uchiha would have incapacitated the taller teen but because of the differences in height and stance there was no use the blond would die soon. The side of her that was kind and gentle wanted to weep for the person who understood her pain, the side that was what Zabuza trained her to be the cold and merciless killer knew that a job must be done and revenge to be had.

" Why did you do that?" Her voice colder then the ice she wielded.

Sasuke turned to regard her with his trademark smirk on his lips " Why did I Kawarimi(Replacement) with the dobe?" all he got was unseen narrowing of the masked nins eyes in answer "Hn it's simple I am an avenger my mission is to kill the person who destroyed my clan and restore it to our former glory. And for that I need power, and anyone who gets in my way will be taken care of and as for the dobe he was there plus no one will care that he's gone." all of this was said in a tone that screamed ' I am superior'.

Haku looked at the Gennin in front of her and was disgusted with him to betray a true ally was unforgivable " I am sorry then Uchiha but this is where your mission ends." her tone cold as the arctic tundra as the ice user popped four senbon between her fingers.

Before the battle could begin anew the combatants were stopped by a pulse of power form off to the side of them, the pulse sent a chill up the two's spines from the shear strength of it along with feeling of terror that welled up in their subconscious. Turning their heads towards where the power had come from the two felt a second pulse this time they saw where had come from, the power had come from the downed blond, a third pulse along with a flash of red around the blond that made his arms and legs twitch.

Then the impossible happened after the third pulse the suppose to be dead Naruto stood back up like a zombie, when fully stood up teenager did this a fourth pulse burst forth the resulting shock wave blew the mist outwards. The two Shin-obi then saw that black and red energy started to arc over the teen along with dark red runes flickered over him, as this was happening the feeling of dread grew from within them.

As the black and red energy grew in size the runes that hovered an inch or so above his skin started to stabilize forming what looked like armor with two curved horns coming from his head, the senbon that still pierced his body rattled from the shear force around him as the very air swirled about him. Both the runes and the energy reach their peak as the runes glowed until the light was blinding and the energy covered Naruto, the blond Gennin threw back his head and let loose a horrible howl of pain.

" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

When this happened the senbon that remained in his body shot out at bullet like speed going through the mirrors in their way, the black energy burst from his body sending out a shock wave that blew the mist from the bridge in hurricane force winds along with cracking the mirror dome. The energy formed a tower of the same that large enough to be seen across the island of Nami, when the reaches the top of dome it punches through it like glass, those watching the tower could see a figure almost as large as the tower roar into the heavens mixing with Naruto's screams. The figure is made of the same energy as the tower it's out line stands out with a scythe, two curved horns and three circles in a triangle on it's face.

A few minutes before with Kakashi and Zabuza.

On the other side of the unfinished bridge two men clash in battle amidst the heavy fog, one of these men had sliver hair that stood up in a messy tower. He stood at 5'11 and is rather lanky, he wears a standard blue and green Konoha Jonin uniform with a blue face mask covering the bottom of his face. His Hai-ate was across his forehead different from his normal look of it down over his left eye, with the head bands position you could see his mismatched eyes with his right being a steely gray and the other blood red with three black tomoes around the pupil. This is Kakashi Hakate the Sensei of Gennin Team 7.

The other man is slightly taller at an even 6'0 with a noticeably larger and stronger build. The man wears a black sleeveless shirt with gray striped pant and black sandals, across his chest is a leather strap that leads to the holder for a massive one sided Zanbatou that is shaped like a cleaver. The lower half of his face is wrapped up in white bandages, his slashed Kiri headband was tilted slightly on his forehead right under his black spiky hair. This Zabuza Momochi a missing nin from Kiri and former Seven swordsmen of the mist.

The two Elder ninja seemed to be playing a deadly game of hide and seek in the thick mist, Kakashi could barely see in it while Zabuza used a technique that allows him to move silently. Kakashi had been wounded a few times in the battle but the last major one was on purpose for a trap, he was about to bring out the scroll for his technique but before he could he felt a small yet powerful pulse of foreign energy emanate from where Naruto and Sasuke were.

Both men eye's snapped to where the odd power was coming from, while the two weren't sensors they could tell it wasn't from the three that were over there. As the pulses increased in frequency and power the two men started to worry about their students being near something able to generate that much power, until the pulse stop and power stabilizes to a constant flow was when they heard it.

" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

A scream accompanied by a burst of the power so forceful that it blew away all of the mist surrounding them, a pit of dread grew in Kakashi as he listened to the scream recognizing it even as distorted as it was as his blond student Naruto.

Forgetting about the battle the two were in the Jonin rushed towards where the dome of mirrors once stood, when they arrived the two saw Sasuke and Haku standing a few feet away from each other and about five feet in front of the maelstrom of black energy.

Kakashi stood in front of the swirling mass of black chakra, he could hear Naruto's screams of pain mix with the roar of the figure that seemingly hovered in storm. Grabbing Sasuke by the shoulders and turning him to face Kakashi was almost yelling " Sasuke what the hell happened?" asked the frantic Sensei who was not calm since hearing the screams of your student and not being able to do anything about it did that.

The dark haired teen was stunned by the sight in front of him and could barely mutter out " The dobe he -" trailing off as he looked at the black tower.

Zabuza was getting a more accurate story since Haku was more collected then Sasuke, he was honestly surprised by the information he got he knew that Konoha preached the whole teamwork and loyalty thing. To find one who basically stabbed his teammate in the back was deplorable, even he the ' Demon of the mist' didn't do that to the people your supposed to trust unless they tried it first.

Away from where the dome were two people, was is a young girl the other is an elderly man. The girl has bright pink hair with a red Konoha headband tied up so it rested in her hair, she has light green eyes and fair skin tone that was paler than usual. The teen wore a red Chinese dress with with black bike shorts, she wasn't very impressive looking as she only stood at 5'2. This is Sakura Haruno the sole Kunochi of team seven, the girl was shaking like a leaf in a hurricane because of the power rolling off the bridge. She was as white as a sheet and gripping a kunai hard enough for her knuckles to pop.

The other person next to the girl was better off than her, it is an older man seemingly in his 60's with gray hair and a deep tan. He wears a gray sleeveless shirt and tan pants held up by a rope belt, his face has a gray beard and glasses, he stands at 5'10 slightly out of shape for his age. This is Tazuna Team 7's client and the creator of this bridge.

Back with the Jonins Kakashi was getting frustrated with the lack of answers he was getting from Sasuke about this but he one thing for sure that this wasn't the Kyuubi, the feeling he got from the energy was different from what he remembered of the beast having blood lust and instinctive terror. But this made him become filled with dread and a fear that he had only felt once before when he faced almost certain death.

Breaking out his thoughts when he saw out of the corner of his eye that the tower of black energy began to recede, as the black mass shrunk the observers could see a figure standing in the center.

As the last bit of the black energy dissipates from around the person the Shin-obi see them clearly, the figure is clearly male. He stands at a descent height of 5'9 with his frame lithe and speedy, the persons hair is a sliver/white that spikes out in every direction. The white haired teen is wearing a black top with three belts going across diagonally across his chest, the top has no sleeves revealing his shoulders that bare a strange red marking, the top also leaves the midriff bare showing off red marking similar to the ones on the shoulders. The male has black fingerless gloves made from the same material as his shirt, the gloves have a half inch thick metal bad at the wrist, connected the glove is a black sleeve with red highlights that go up the arm to just below the marking on his shoulder. His pants are also black with red highlights that lead down to boots with the same pattern. Looking back up at his face he has his eyes closed, the lower half of the face is hidden by a black mask like Kakashi right above the top of the mask are a pair of red tattoos in the shape of lightning blots that go from the bottom of each eye to right above the mask. The gathered nin spy a rectangular piece of metal attached to the raised collar of the top, they see it is marked with the Konoha symbol.(Haseo's 1st form but with Naruto's hair style.)

Kakashi and the missing ninja ready them selves in case the person was a hostile, the teen gave off a groan as he opened his eyes revealing deep red orbs, he clutched his head.

" Ugh my fucking head feels like Teuchi-jiji took his rolling pin to it." grumbled out the red eyed teen.

The sliver haired Sensei of team 7 visible eye widened at the voice, he recognized it as Naruto's even tho it was slightly deeper but the reference to the ramen chef clinched it. The person standing before them was Naruto Uzumaki being his almost exact opposite, instead of having blond hair and wearing blinding orange he now wore almost all black and has white hair.

" Naruto?" he asks trying to keep calm.

The teens gaze shifted to the other silver haired person " Eh yeah it's me Kakashi-sensei who did you think it was?" said Naruto as he walked forward stumbling slightly as a tingle ran through him from what ever the hell happened to make his memory blank for the last couple a minutes.

When Naruto stood in front of his sensei he quirked an eyebrow " Sensei didn't you use to be taller?" asked Naruto his mind still fuzzy as he almost looked the older man in his eye normally he only came up around his shoulder.

Sighing he knew his student hadn't realized that he had changed physically " Naruto I'm the same height your the one whose changed." he points at his student's changed body.

Naruto's eye's bugged out when he looked down as his brain threw off the fuzzy feeling to go into overdrive trying to process what he is seeing. Instead of his normal orange jumpsuit with black patches he now had entirely black clothes made of something similar to leather that showed off his midriff, Naruto's mind raced trying to remember the last couple of minutes but their wasn't much. All he remember was a good deal of pain a smug looking Sasuke which was never good in his opinion, after that was when things get even fuzzier all he got was a shit load of pain screaming and the color black with a little bit of red in it. Beyond that there was nothing.

Looking to his Sensei with a panicked looked in his eyes " Kakashi-Sensei what happened to me?" yelled the now sliver haired teen as he tried not to freak out.

Looking at his student with his one eye( he had pulled down the his head band)in a deadpanned expression " I was hoping you could tell me that Naruto?".

Laughing nervously scratched the back of his head while from what Kakashi guessed smiling since he could not see Naruto's mouth " Hehheh not really Sensei I don't remember much beyond a lot of pain, what I do remember is just pretty fuzzy.". Naruto knew more then he was letting on and Kakashi-sensei probably knew that too, but even if he told him all of it the story was baseless and lacked prof.

Kakashi's one eye bore into Naruto's two, the sliver haired man knew that his student hadn't told him everything but he was sure that it was for a good reason so he wouldn't press him.

Off to the side Sauske was still in shock from what he saw, when he had used the dobe in a kawarimi he was sure he had been dead but then it had happened. The dobe had gotten back up and then unleashed an energy that still sent chills up his spine, when Naruto had come out of the black tower he had changed he felt more powerful. Sasuke unconsciously clenched his fists as he seethed wondering how the dobe got that power.

The Konoha Nins thoughts were interrupted by the rough voice of Zabuza " Well now the interruption is over I guess that we can start where we left off." said the Demon of the Mist, the Leaf nins gaze snapped to see the man gripping his sword while his partner stood slightly behind him with four Senbon between their fingers.

In a flash Kakashi had drawn a kunai in his right hand and had his left was ready to reveal his Sharingan eye, while the two Gennin had fallen into rough taijutsu stances.

Before either side could make a move they were interrupted by a slow mocking clap from the unfinished part of the bridge, the last part of the mist that wasn't blown away by the tower parted to reveal a large crowd of men standing at the end.

At the head of the crowd was a short man with gray hair, he wore a black business suit with white cast on his right arm. This is Gato the president of Gato Industries and the biggest slime ball this side rice country, at his back was a small army of thugs and mercenaries armed with various tools of death.

Gato stops his clapping with a sneer on his face " So this is all the Feared Demon of the mist is capable of? Pathetic!".

A near feral growl escaped Zabuza's throat as he glared at the midget businessman and his thug army " What the hell are you doing here Gato!" shouted the swordsman as he gripped his Zanbato's handle tighter since he had a pretty fair idea of why he was there.

The sneer on the white haired man became more pronounced " I here because you and your bitch failed to do one simple thing, to kill the bridge builder. Instead you get stopped by some scarecrow and a bunch of brat's!" a sharp bark of laughter later " But it might be for the best since I wasn't going to pay you in the first place, and I can hire all these men for a fraction of the price plus your bounty along with getting to teach that little bitch a lesson." said Gato as he showed his cast along with a leer at the masked hunter nin.

That got an immediate reaction from Zabuza who was near frothing at the mouth from the last comment, it also got a reaction from Naruto while many called Naruto stupid that was untrue. He wasn't book smart he was more a practical person, he knew what the troll meant even though they may be enemies no one deserved that!

Zabuza turned his head towards Kakashi " Guess this means the contracts off the old man eh Hakate?" all he got in response was curt nod while the man drew a kunai.

Tilting his head towards the other masked Jonin " I guess this means that we should join forces... for now." the sensei of team 7 turned to the two of his students there with him " Naruto Sasuke are you two ready?".

The last Uchiha nodded but Naruto spoke " Yeah Sensei but I kinda need some Kunai since mine disappeared." to emphasize his statement Naruto patted his legs where his holsters had been. Rolling his eyes Sasuke withdrew two of his and tossed them to the former blond who caught one in either hand in a reverse grip.

The Shin-obi had turned back to the mercenary army who had begun to charge at them, without a visible signal the two Jonin jumped in front of their students and begun to flash through a string of hand seals.

When the two finished the last seal they called out in unison " Suiton:Suiryudan!"(Water release:Water Dragon Bullet).

From either side of bridge a large eastern dragons made of water rose up and shot forward at the charging men, when Gato mercenaries saw this they tried to run but it was too late as the massive amount of water slammed into the force.

From the force and amount of water that had hit them over 60% of the men had been washed away if not out right killed, those that remained had no time to recover as the ninja had used the attack to close the distance.

Zabuza hit the group as a whirlwind of steel and flying limbs as he used his sword to rip the merc's to shreds, as the opposite to the mad swordsman Kakashi cut down the hired swords with precision. The false hunter danced around her opponents strike them with her senbon in pressure point rendering them useless, Sasuke was less gentle about it breaking bone and slashing with his kunai.

Over with his opponents Naruto was struggling with them just barely dodging a slash, Naruto the reason he was having so much trouble moving correctly. The reason was his sudden ' Growth spurt ' had made his center of gravity shift and he wasn't used to having his limbs be so long.

Naruto had just barely avoided a sword swing by leaning backward the only problem was that had over balanced him making him fall on his butt. The sliver haired teen only had time to see the same merc that had swung at him before in a over head swing half way finished, all he time to do was throw his left forearm in a block and hope that could at deflect the blow.

*Ting*

The black clad ninja's eyes shot wide at the sound only to see the improbable, there was the sword that was sure was sharp enough and had enough force to cut through normal leather had been stopped by by his black glove. Only hesitating a second while the mercenary stared wide eyed at the sight of a leather covered forearm blocking his overhead sword swing, Naruto went low..

*Wham*

" Ahhhh!"

By donkey kicking the man in the balls making him double over holding his package, before the man could even register it Naruto flipped to his feet and drawing back his foot for a field goal. The kick connects with enough force to actually lift the man off his feet about two inches along with a audible crack from his jaw.

The teen heard a rush of foot steps behind him spinning around to see a man with pole arm rushing at him, he's too close to dodge so acting out instinct the Jinchuriki flips the kunai in his hands in normal hold and brings up to block. Just as the attack is about connect with his block Naruto feels a pulse from deep inside him that flows up his hands and out into the kunai, the mutli-purpose knives glow black with red outlines for but a moment. When the pole arm struck the block the red eyed teen no longer held a pair of kunai.

Instead of the small knives Naruto know held a pair of what he thought could be short swords, the weapons were curved much like a kodachi but that was where the similarities ended. The handles were a little longer then his hands as he gripped them and looked to be made from a dull bronze, the blade part was odd to say the least as it was made up of bronze raised parts with black indents. Along the 'edge' of the blade was several inch long blades that were curved along sword that came out of the bronze parts.(If the description wasn't enough there is link on my profile.)

' Man today I just keep getting curve balls.' thought the Konoha ninja as he pushed back against the wooden haft of his enemies weapon.

Naruto pushed back the Merc with his blades as he suddenly got inspiration, he locked the pole between two of the blades and pulled.

The bronze blade cut through the hardened wood easily removing the head of the weapon, as quick as lightning Naruto reverses the grip on the weapon in his right hand bringing it down diagonally right through the man's throat.

The man immediately drops the remains of the weapon to clutch his throat choking, the Gennin can easily tell that he had cut through both the wind pipe and femoral artery he's dead. Naruto watches as the man finally falls to his back dead and unmoving.

The last Uzumaki barely notices as the battle has all but ended, the mercenaries lay dead most of the remaining ones had been taken care of by the Jonin a few Zabuza's partner and even two for Sasuke and himself.

At the end of the bridge he can see Zabuza purposely striding down towards Gato with his massive clever in, Gato is on his back crab walking way from the ex-mist nin begging for his life as a growing wet spot spread across his pants.

The Demon of the Mist ignores the man's pleas and promises of riches, women and land, the Seven swordsman just hefts his sword on to his shoulder with one hand while the other pulls the bandages off his face to reveal a blood thirsty smile with pointy teeth. In one swift movement the decapitating sword claims another head as the people of wave arrive to see their tormenter slain.

As the adrenaline stops rushing through his system the reality of the situation hits him, he had killed someone he looks down at the weapon that still had the blood on it. His breath came in short pants and his heart rate shot up while black had creeped in the edges of his vision.

Before he could any further Naruto was hit with rather hard slap across the face, snapping out his panic attack Naruto saw the person that had slapped him was a person had not expected to see in this place.

"Haku?"

There in front him was Haku dressed in the hunter nin's green Kimono with the white mask in her hand her brown eyes staring into his red, his mind was a whirl but only one thought came out.

" Your the Hunter nin?".

" Yes I am and sorry about the slap." said the ice user as she shifted nervously.

Rubbing his cheek and chuckling " Don't worry about it I kinda needed it anyway." said the black clad nin as his eyes begun to droop " I just need to ask one question because I am physically and mentally drained.".

" Okay whats the question?"

" When we first met in the forest you said that you were a boy is that true or were you just trying to hide that your a girl?".

Haku blushed at the question almost putting a certain Hyuga girl to shame " Well I am actually a girl I just had to it hide just in case.".

Nodding his head Naruto responded " That's good that makes it less confusing well then good night!" the teens eyes shut as he fell forward only to be caught by Haku, since the girl was a good 8 inches shorter then him she staggered under the sudden increase in weight. This left this his arms over hanging over her shoulders and his head resting against her neck, this caused her to blush as when Naruto unconsciously snuggled against her neck.

Off to the side Kakashi mentally giggled to himself at least with Naruto around it never got boring.

Chapter 1 end

AN:Yayy I have finally finished the first chapter of the rewrite, did I well is this better then the original if so tell me in a review, if I messed some how like grammar or you thought a part of this could use more work leave a review with constructive criticism no flames.

And if any of you are wondering I did barrow the part where Naruto changes the kunai into the twin blades from some where else so I don't own that either. Now if some one can tell me where it's from they get a cookie but if they tell me the specific place they get two. I'll even give you a hint it's not an anime but it is from japan.

And the Harem members will be told next chapter but feel free to suggest ones but I want a good reason and not just because she's hot.

And last but not least check out my profile for some challenges that I made up but I don't feel it would fit my style, and any one that wishes to take one up just tell me when you post it I would really enjoy reading it.

Well see ya next chapter.
