HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PEOPLE!

No, I am not dead, but you see, I had a little inspirational down in the last year, but I WONT abandon this story. I'm just trying to regain that spark to finish. That's one thing, the second is…

CASTING TIME!.

Casting for what you ask? For the rest of the horseman of course.

You see, I started this fic as a Darksiders and Naruto crossover, and I had the unmovable idea that Naruto would be Death, as for the other horseman, well… I FUCKING NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND NOW I DON'T FUCKING KNOW WHAT TO DO AND I HAVE NO IDEA ON WHO WOULD FIT FOR THE POSITION OF THE GREATEST BADASSES IN THE UNIVERSE.

Aaand that's when I thought: Hey, what if some of my followers would have the answers?

So now I'm humbly asking for your help. Please think of 3 Naruto characters who would do beautifully the roles of War, Strife and Fury. I shall read all comments and reach a verdict.

For those of you who are fans of Darksiders, you don't need help, for the rest, I shall give a very brief definition of them and their relationship with death, so you can have a clearer idea.

War is in a forever moody state. Always grumpy but has a very strong sense of honor, justice and vengeance, given that Death has risked everything to save him more than once, it would be logical to assume that he also cares deeply for his siblings.

Fury is probably the closest one to Death, because in the comic, Death threw himself in front of Chaosseater's blade in order to protect her. Since we don't know much about her, and she really does not have a comic of her own and her game comes out next year, I am assuming that she is the voice of reason within the horsemen.

Strife is always fighting and bickering with Death, often ending with beatings, but I assume that death cares deeply for all his siblings, therefore they never go beyond a friendly brotherly rough love, (Not what you are thinking you pervs) we can conclude he is the silent and most faraway of the four.

That's basically it, but I won't leave you like that. Here you all go a little tease from next chapter. See you all son and please have a little patience with me. Also, I updated the previous episodes.

"… WHAAAAAAAAT?!" Naruto asked, clearly not believing his ears. "What the shit do you mean by that? Am I a ghost or something like that?"

"What?! Ghost?! What the hell makes you think that?!" Now Death was clearly offended.

"…Well, you see, the only Death I know is the Shinigami, which is kind of a ghost… Sort of… I think." Said Naruto vaguely. Death could only face-slap.

"*Sigh* You don't even know the basic types of undead, but I guess it passes since you have no possible way of knowing the arts of Ancient Necromancy. Alright kid, I'm going to tell you a few things you should know before we can begin your training." Death said sternly.

"Oh, ok… Wait-whaaaaaaaaaaaat!? My training!?" Now Naruto had absolutely no idea what he meant.

"Yes kid, you see, many millennia ago I was one of the greatest, most feared warriors in the entire universe, and as my reincarnation, if you are to bear my name I won't have it said I have grown weaker over the eons, nor you ruin my reputation, you understand?" He said pointing a finger at Naruto, who nodded fast several times.

"Very well, now kid, what you must understand first, is that I am not a ghost, but neither am I a demon or an angel. I am a Nephilim, a little of your own blood is too, actually. And you see, we didn't belong to the White City nor to the Black Pitch, rather, we were something lost in between, and our kin wandered through the universe with the sole objective of conquering planets. But… a tragedy happened, and only four of us were left."

"What happened to the rest?" Asked Naruto, very interested at this point.

"Maybe… I will tell you later, but the point right now is that I, along with my brethren War, Fury, and Strife, we became the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. From this moment on, our job was to keep the balance of the conflict that raged between Heaven and Hell."

Death proceeded to tell Naruto all about who he had been, and his many challenges, battles and journeys, from before the early Apocalypse, to his quest to restore mankind, and their eventual demises, while Naruto had star-eyes during the whole tale.

"Oh my Kami, you are so awesome, therefore, I am awesome!" He said exited.

"So you see now kid? You are far stronger than you think, you have power, you just need training to master it, a damn lot of it, but you will pull through, and will have to do it yourself."

"What, wait, didn't you said you would train me?" Asked Naruto unsure if he missed something important.

"Yes and no. I will only show you and unlock the rest of your powers, the rest, from their uses to their mastery, that is your way. I would train you myself if I could, but what you see of me is but a shard of my spirit, awoken because you nearly died back there. I could only manifest myself once, and I choose this one time, when this is over, I will be part of your mind again, and the last piece of my consciousness and former self will fade for good, forever fusing with your own." Death said solemnly.

"Oh, I see, but why this power was revealed right now, and not before?"

"Because the universe will soon be in danger once again, and when that moment comes, you will have to ride forward, gather the rest of the Horsemen, and do whatever be necessary to, "save the day" as you would say it. Now pay close attention, these are the secret powers and techniques I had when I was alive, they have passed all the way down to you, you better do not disappoint me kiddo."

'Shit' Was all Shikamaru could think while facing three ninjas if the Sound. But that was not the main issue right now. The bad thing was that Sasuke had awoken from his coma, turned into a bloodthirsty monster and crippled both arms of one of the sound ninjas. Sakura was too weak and shocked to do anything, Lee was K.O., and Naruto was unconscious in the ground.

Then Sasuke turned their way.
