Darkness and Nightmare

Chapter 1

Ryuto Rishihara

A woman ran through a town clutching something close to her chest. She breathed heavily as she ran, with her long white hair moving around wildly. She then entered a house with the name Rishihara etched into the door. She slammed the door open startling a man inside. The man looked at the woman with a confused expression, but the woman looked up at him and her eyes radiated distress. The man shot up from his seat want got closer to the woman.

"He's here and He's after me." the woman said. "I'll stall him, what are you going to do?" the man asked. "I'm going to give him my power." the woman said looking towards her chest.

He opened the cloth around the object, which revealed to be a baby boy. He had his eyes closed in a deep slumber, it seemed like nothing could wake him.

"Are you sure you want to put him through that? At such a young age?" the man cautioned. "It's the only way. As long as his powers don't awaken He can not trace him." the woman said.

The man nodded and kissed the woman's forehead. The woman smiled up at the man, which she had loved since they met. The man moved around the woman and prepared to exit the house.

"Don't fight Him. He's much too powerful. He commands a wide array of attacks." the woman advised. "Don't worry, I would not fight him without you." the man said with a smile.

The man closed the door to the house and the woman watched him leave. She then turned her attention to the baby and rushed to the nursery. He placed the baby gently on a chair and kneeled down in front of him. She made symbols with her hands and placed on hand on the ground. In a puff of smoke a small black feathered bird, the bird seemed to have a small hat on his head, appeared.

"Kroww." the bird called out.

"Murkrow, I need you to head to the Leaf Village. There you will man there named Minato Namikaze, a blonde haired man. Just seeing you, he will know what it means. Hurry." the woman order.

The bird gave a nod and began to fly. Once airborne, it flew out the window and into the dark night. The woman let out a sigh and began to do more symbols with her hands. She was about to finish when an explosion rocked the house. She cursed loudly at the sound. She could hear smaller explosions going around as well as people screaming.

"Damn, looks like fighting was inevitable." the woman said aloud.

She returned to the baby and returned to doing the hand symbols. When she finished, she placed her hand in front of the baby and a navy-blue energy began to envelope the boy.

What are you doing? a voiced asked inside her head.

What it takes to save my son the woman said sternly.

At such a young age this transference of power could kill him the voice said.

I know, but it's the only way. I have to save him the woman said.

Are you sure this is wise? You can use the commotion to escape this town and run the voice asked.

Even if I run, He'll find me and him. I can't take that chance the woman said.

"Where is he?" a manical voice called out from outside the house.

"Damn, I need just a few more minutes." the woman said aloud.

You're keeping some power for yourself? the voice asked.

Yes. It's the only way to throw Him off his trail the woman answered.

Just as the navy-blue energy stopped appearing from the woman's hands, a whoosh sound was heard in the room. The woman looked towards the sound and saw a blond man in a crouched position, standing up. The woman let out a sigh of relief at the sight.

"Thank, God, Minato." the woman said happily. "What's going on? I saw your Murkrow and knew something was wrong." Minato said worried. "Can't you feel it?" the woman asked. "Yes, I can. It's an ancient and powerful chakra. Is it him?" Minato asked.

The woman simply nodded in response.

"I see, do you want me to help fight?" Minato asked. "No, take you're him and go back to the village, don't look back." the woman said standing. "I can't just sit by and watch so many innocents die." Minato argued. "This is not up for debate. He is much too strong for you." the woman said. "I can leave and comeback with a large group of shinobi." Minato replied. "No, I have to do this on my own. This is my fight, it's a fight I've been training my whole life for. I need you to protect my son, make sure his abilities never awaken." the woman said.

Minato turned to the baby, who was still sound asleep, his once brown hair was now white, same as his mother. Minto tightened the grip of his fists, but released them while letting out a breath.

"Okay, I'll do it." Minato said turning to the woman. "Thank you, Minato. Go, and don't look back." the woman said.

Minaot nodded and picked up the baby. As he did so, the baby awoke and began to cry. The woman smiled at the boy, and gently rubbed his cheek.

"Protect him, Darkrai." the woman whispered as he kissed the baby's forehead.

I will not fail you Darkrai said.

Minto then disappeared in a whoosh, with only a three pronged kunai with inscriptions remained. The woman then composed herself and walked towards the door of the house. She opened it revealing the town to be on fire. The streets were littered with bodies, blood stained the houses and streets. It was a sight she was used to seeing, but it unsettled her nonetheless. As she walked towards the town square a tall man with blonde hair and red eyes, with an ornate white shirt and pants, was grabbing her love by the throat. He struggled to remove the grip, but to no avail. Sensing the woman's presence, the blonde man turned to her and gave a devilish smile .

"Finally you show yourself." the man said. "I'm only here to bargain." the woman said.

"Don't…" the restrained man said weakly.

Getting a better view of him, his face was covered in blood, along with a broken leg and arm.

"Quiet you. Or I'll snap your neck." the blonde threatened. "I only need Darkrai."

"I'm sure there's something else I can give you." the woman said. "Sorry, but there isn't. I want Darkrai and his power." the blonde said. "Then we've reached an impasse." the woman said.

"Maybe this will convince you." the blonde said holding up the other man high into the air.

"No." the woman said softly.

"He is your love, isn't he? Maybe his death will convince you."

"Run." the restrained man said weakly.

The blonde man then tightened the grip on the man's throat and with one hand snapped his neck. A loud snapping sound was heard followed by the thud of the body hitting the floor. An immense wave of emotions rushed into the woman. She let out the loudest scream imaginable and fell to her knees. As she did so a wave a black energy was launched. The blonde held up his arms to block the energy. The blonde man looked back towards the woman, she had stood up, white hair blowing in the wind and her blue eyes glowing in the night, tears falling from her eyes. Fire circled around her as she prepared to attack the blonde gave a wild smile and rushed towards the woman. The woman did the same, drawing two small blades in the process. When the two collided, a large explosion rocked the area creating a large cloud of smoke.

5 Years Later…

"Run, it's a demon!" a man's voice cried out.

A white haired boy looked around, everyone was screaming and running in fear and terror. The boy did not know what was going on or what the people were saying about a demon. The only thing he knew was that he needed to find his parents. They had disappeared earlier in the day for something important, his father had said. As he continued to walk, a young man with grey hair and a mask appeared next to him.

"Ryuto, what are you doing? You should be getting to a shelter." the man said. "But where are Mom and Dad, Big Brother Kakashi?" Ryuto asked. "They're preoccupied at the moment. You get going and I'll tell them you're safe." Kakashi answered placing a hand on Ryuto's shoulder.

Ryuto nodded and Kakashi disappeared. However, Ryuto disobeyed Kakashi's instructions and continued to roam around the village in search of his parents. As he continued to roam, he heard a loud explosion coming from the outskirts of the village. Ryuto gulped and started to run towards the sound. When arrived, his eyes widened at the sight. His parents were both stabbed through the stomach by the giant nail of a large fox. The fox the disappeared and into a baby that was in front of them and the two collapsed to the group. Ryuto rushed over to his parents, he kneeled next to his father and began to shake him. He would not react and he was not breathing. Tears began to fall from Ryuto's eyes as he turned to his mother. He shoot her lightly and she let out a weak cough.

"Oh, Ryuto. It's good you're here. I need to tell you something important." his mother said weakly. "You can tell me later, you should concentrate on resting and healing." Ryuto replied. "I want you to protect your brother. Protect, Naruto." she said with her voice fading.

As she finished, a large group of ninjas arrived. Ryuto paid no attention to them, only focused on his dying mother. In front of him, the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi kneeled down. He placed two fingers on the woman's neck and gave a defeated sigh. He looked over to the man and the person next to him simply nodded a no.

"Mom, don't go." Ryuto said weeping.

"She's gone, I'm sorry." Hiruzen said sadly. "No she's not! She's resting. Right, Mom, you're going to wake up soon." Ryuto said. "Ryuto, I know this is hard for you to understand, but she will not wake up." Hiruzen said.

He then turned to the baby who was asleep on a stone slab. He walked over to the baby and carefully picked it up. He walked over again to Ryuto and kneeled next to him.

"Ryuto, you and I need to protect your brother now. You are strong, now be strong for you brother." Hiruzen said softly.

Ryuto did not respond, he only continued to cry. He held his mother's dead hand in his and continued to cry. Around him a dark energy surrounded him, as the hairs around his eyes latched onto his right eye. Hiruzen looked on in horror, watching as Ryuto seemed unaffected by the changes that were happening to him. When the hairs gripped onto his face, his right eye remained permanently open he could no longer blink or even close his eye. Ryuto seemed unaffected by the change, he simply covered his right eye and continued to cry.

A few months later

Ryuto walked into a town at night, alone. He wore a black jacket with the hood covering his head, with black pants, and black sandals. He looked up towards the moon, there was none; it was a new moon. The town was lit up with street lights and candle light. People scurried about, getting to their homes or to a near by shop to buy food. He passed by stand selling fruit. He looked over and picked up an apple leaving a small amount of money on the counter. He sat down to eat the apple and as he took a bite into it, his head began to ache. He clutched his head in agony, the pain made his head pound. He felt as if his mind was fighting for control. It all stopped when he heard a voice inside his head.

So, this my new master. I doubt your strong enough to contain my power the voice said.

Why are you? Ryuto asked.

I'm just someone inside your head the voice said.

Then Ryuto saw a single glowing blue eye. It hovered towards him and Ryuto began to run away.

There's nowhere to run inside your own head the voice said.

Ryuto turned back to see that the blue had disappeared. As he turned back to face forwards, he bumped into something in the darkness. Out of the darkness stepped a creature, but it had no legs, it hovered towards Ryuto. The creature did not seem to have a neck, simply some kind of white plume attached to a small head, with a single bright blue eye. Around his head was a spiky red growth which led to a skinny torso. From there, was what looked like a dark tattered cloak with a longer extension behind it. The creatures arms were thin, and at the elbows it seemed spikes. It had a three clawed hand and it reached out towards Ryuto.

Take my hand it said with an unmoving mouth, if it even had one.

Ryuto hesitantly held out his hand, but back away before he could touch it.

Take my hand and you will gain incredible power it said.

They way the creature said it, it to hypnotize Ryuto. Without a single hesitation, Ryuto took the creatures hand and everything went black. Ryuto awoke in the same town where he was, but it was no longer they way he remembered it. It was destroyed, fires raged in homes and shops, bodies littered the streets that ran red with blood. Ryuto looked to his hands and saw them stained with blood. He then collapsed to the floor at the sight of it. He had caused all this death and yet he had no idea how he did it. He stood up and began to walk around the town, no one was alive everyone had been killed. As he turned a corner he heard raggedy breathing. Ryuto eye's darted around the street, when his eye fell onto an old man whose let was crushed by a large stone and a metal pipe had punctured his chest. Ryuto walked over to the old man, but he recoiled in fear.

"What has happened here?" Ryuto asked.

"Everything was normal until someone began to scream. They said they were being haunted by a ghost and that everyone around them was the ghost. The person began to kill everyone in sight and soon after everyone followed. They thought they were killing what they feared, but in reality they were killing others. Some could not bear the fear and pain, so they would kill themselves to be free of it." the old man explained weakly.

"Who caused it?" Ryuto said pulling down his hood.

The man let out a frightened gasp and grabbed a katana that was next to him. He tired to draw it, but he did not have the strength.

"You," the old man said pointing, "everyone saw you. A monstrous version of you."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Ryuto said. "You caused all this death. Your are the reason my town is no more." the man said.

Ryuto looked around him and he saw all the dead surrounding him. He clutched his head in agony, the voice in his head was telling him he did well. He let out a yell and then the voice in his head became two, one with a maniacal laugh and there was calmer. Ryuto forced the maniacal one into the back of his find, forever imprisoned there. He the let go of his head and gazed back to the man. His breathing had slowed, he was on the verge of death.

"That these. Read the inscriptions on the blade." the old man said holding up two katanas.

Ryuto took them and unsheathed the blades. One read Darkness and the other read Nightmare. Ryuto resheathed the blades and turned to the old man, who's breathed slowed even more.

"Those words represent who you are and what you'll always be." the old man said slowly.

With his final words, his head tilted to the side and he released his final breath. Ryuto then released that he was indeed the murderer of and entire town. Once again his head was in agony, he had trouble breathing. He felt himself slip from his consciousness and then everything went black again.

A year later…

Ryuto walked alone up a mountain. He felt like he had been climbing it for an eternity. He kept his hood up, not wanting to be noticed. Since the time with the town Ryuto was now on every nation's most wanted list and was considered extremely dangerous. A six year old boy was being hunted, so he was always in the run. He made it to and read of the mountain where it was a large flat area. Ryuto let out a sigh of relief and rested against the cliff side. He unstrapped his katanas and rested them against the cliff side. He looked towards the horizon, all he could see were trees and more trees. He the grabbed a bottle of water and opened it. At the age of six, Ryuto had lived alone not having anyone to count on. The voice in his rarely spoke, but the other one always did taunting him to use his power to kill. In the time since the town massacre, his hair had grown longer and he cover his right eye with it. Anyone who looked at his unblinking eye seemed unsettled by it and would avoid him. He took the moment of peace he had to remove his hood and as he did so a dozen men in armor and masks appeared in front of him. Ryuto felt the maniacal voice return telling to use his power to kill them all. Ryuto fought the voice as he clutched his right eye. The men in front of him tensed grabbing the katana's sheathed to their backs. The voice's influence grew too strong and Ryuto felt its power taking over him. Then Ryuto's eyes glowed blue and everyone in front of him collapsed to the floor, except for one. After using his power, Ryuto did not black out and saw the person walk up to him. The person removed their mask and revealed a boy, only about four-to-five years older than Ryuto. The boy had dark eyes and dark hair, and had tear-troughs under them. His hair was styled in bangs that fell to the side of his face and a short pony tail. His dark eyes changed to red ones with black marks on them. Ryuto had seen those eyes before and his ability had worked on them. As the boy walked closer to him, he showed no signs of fear; he showed compassion. Ryuto's eyes stopped glowing, and looked to the boy with curiosity.

"I see that you can't control your abilities. I also see that they are similar to mine, yet different and much more potent." the boy said kindly. "You're not afraid?" Ryuto asked. "No, I'm not. You're just someone who's lost their way." the boy said. "Who are you?" Ryuto asked. "My name is Itachi Uchiha. I want to help you control your power." Itachi answered. "Can you?" Ryuto asked. "I will try my hardest. You no longer have to live like you do." Itachi answered with a smile.

For the next two years Ryuto trained hard with Itachi, learning on how to control his abilites as well as develop new techniques. Itachi had said that Ryuto had different chakra. His chakra was older and thus was not equipped for modern jutsus, as Itachi called them. During one of his days of training, a man with white hair and red eyes walked over to him. Ryuto did not know who the person was, but he could feel the strength that radiated off the man.

"Well youngster, who might you be?" the man asked. "My name is Ryuto Rishihara, but who are you?" Ryuto asked. "My name is Arceus. I'm somewhat like you an ancient being." Arceus answered. "Why are you here?" Ryuto asked. "My, my you ask a lot of questions. I felt a similar chakra to mine and not many of those people exist. Did you say your name was Rishihara?" Arceus asked.

Ryuto nodded a yes in response.

"Well that explains it. Your clan is widely known for using jutus that no one else can. Here, this should help you." Arceus said handing Ryuto a scroll. "Take good care of it. Also, I'm going to give you some of my chakra. It'll help you use jutsus you would normally be unable to use."

Ryuto looked up from the scroll and saw that the man had disappeared. Ryuto sat down to study the scroll, it had many jutsus he had never heard of.

Your going to trust someone you just met? the calmer voice asked.

Well he did say he was like me Ryuto said.

Even if it is Arceus, you can't trust Gods just like that the voice said.

You usually never talk about what you are and where you came from. What brought about that change? Ryuto asked.

Because I think it's time you understand exactly what your power is the voice said.

In the span of two years, Ryuto had talked more to voice in his head. The creature that lived inside of him was called Darkrai. He was part of a race of beings that lived even before the time of the Sage of Six Paths and that they were the first to wield chakra, endowing it to small groups of people in where one became the Rishihara clan. Darkrai had explained everything about his past, except who his previous host was.

After a certain point, my memory becomes really foggy Darkrai said.

It's fine. Now that know all of this, I can understand who I am now Ryuto replied.

People still see you as a monster Darkrai said.

Let them. I live because of darkness and nightmares, I am nothing else but that. Plus, I have Itachi. He sees me as a person and that's all I need Ryuto thought.

At the end of the second year, and the beginning of the third Ryuto assisted Itachi in killing his entire clan. He placed the entire town under a potent genjutsu and Itachi killed everyone with little to no resistance. During their escape, Itachi cried at what he had done. He could not bring himself to kill his brother and let him live, Ryuto could not bring himself to kill the boy either for he did not have the stomach to kill anyone. At that same time, Ryuto erased everyone's memory of him except for the fact that he is wanted for killing an entire town. However, he left the memories of him intact in one person, someone he considered to be an older brother. When the two fled, they met up with a masked man with long hair. Itachi claimed that the man was Madara Uchiha, but Ryuto saw through his mask with a new ocular ability and saw the a scared face. The group arrived at a cave where a group of people were waiting for them. The group consisted of pale, snake man, which Ryuto knew as Orochimaru, a man whose whole face was covered except for his eyes, a short man who looked hunched over, another man with a large sword with a hole in it, another plain looking man, a plant monster who was half black, half white, a woman with blue hair and orange eyes, finally a man with orange hair and purple ringed eyes. They all wore the same black cloak with a red cloud on it. Ryuto rose an eyebrow at the sight, he had never seen such people before.

"So you're Itachi Uchiha." the man with orange hair said.

Itachi simply nodded in response.

"Who is that boy with you?" the man asked. "His name is Ryuto Rishihara. He's my…associate." Itachi answered. "Rishihara? I thought all of that clan had died." the man said. "He is all that remains." Itachi said. "Is he going to join our ranks as well?" the man asked.

Itachi began to answer, but Ryuto stopped him.

"I follow Itachi. Wherever he goes, I go." Ryuto answered.

The man's gaze fell onto Ryuto. For the first time in his life, Ryuto felt intimidated. The man's gaze petrified him.

"What would you offer our organization?" the man asked. "I can by a spy. I can, literally, hide in shadows." Ryuto answered. "His abilities are still difficult for him to control, so it is best if he remains at my side." Itachi added. "Very well, Ryuto Rishihara you may join us." the man said.

Ryuto nodded and followed Itachi further into the cave. Once there, Itachi was told to denounce his village by slashing his headband. Itachi took of his off his headband and stared at it for a moment. He then tossed it to the ground and pulled out a kunai, slashing at the headband and crossing the leaf symbol. Ryuto was told to do the same, but he never belonged to the village in the first place so he had nothing to denounce. The orange haired man eyed him curiously, but seemed to accept Ryuto's explanation.

Ryuto spent the next years of his life training under Itachi while also doing spy missions for the Akatsuki. His main missions were always getting information on people called jinchūriki. Getting information on their abilites as well as strengths and weaknesses. Ryuto was never told what the information was for, he was only told that they were going to change the world. During his time with the Akatsuki, they would occasionally have to find new members. Ryuto was asked several times to become a full member, but he would deny the invitation as his abilities to spy on people would be compromised. After getting Deidara, from the Hidden Stone Village, and Kisame Hoshigaki, from the Hidden Mist, Orochimaru defected from the Akatsuki and went into to hiding. This put the leader, who was only known as Pain, in a foul mood and tasked Ryuto with finding him. Ryuto scoured the world searching for him, but could not find a single trace of him. Despite Pain finding the news disappointing, he said for him to return to his previous duties.

During his training, he realized that he had the ability to move between shadows and Itachi was teaching him on how add in the Flying Raijin Jutsu, a type of teleportation, to his own Shadow Travel, as Ryuto called it. This would continue until Itachi departed to the Leaf Village following an attack on it from Orochimaru. Ryuto tailed Itachi while he was with his new partner Kisame, the replacement for his former partner. Kisame was formerly a member of the Hidden Mist Village along with being a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsman. He carried the sword Samehada, Shark Skin, and was very adept at using it.

"Itachi, your brat is following us again." Kisame said grabbing his sword. "It's fine Kisame. He is not on a mission at the moment." Itachi explained. "Fine. I don't trust him is all." Kisame said letting go of the sword.

During a rest stop, Itachi and Ryuto continued to train. In a short span Ryuto had become much stronger proficient in many different types of jutsu's of many different elements. Itachi explained that due to Ryuto's chakra, he could use different natures that are to the one's normally used by shinobi. According to Darkrain, he had a limited movepool, as he called out, and many of the moves he was using was thanks to Arcues's chakra.

"Fire Style: Fire Blast!" Ryuto called out.

Then out of his mouth spewed out fire that formed into the symbol for fire. The attack crashed into a rock and dissipated.

That's one of the moves you normally could use, because I can't learn it. But since you got Arceus's chakra, you can use them Darkrai explained.

Cool Ryuto replied.

Ryuto spent more time in his own head rather than with actual people. While there, Darkrai took a human form. His look was similar to Ryuto's, same hair color and eye color. The only difference was that Darkrai had longer hair that fell all the way to his mid-back and he wore a black robe with red markings around the neck. It became more comfortable for Ryuto to talk to him in a human form, though he was used to his normal form.

When the trio arrived at the Leaf Village, Ryuto teleported to the top of the moutain where the Hokage's faces were carved into and looked towards the village below. Much of it was is bad shape due to Orochimaru's recent attack, but the village could rebuild itself quickly. However, as Ryuto looked on all it brought to him was sadness and loss. He looked down at one of the faces he recognized as his father and tears began to swell up in his eyes. All of sudden, he felt a surge in Itachi's chakra. He pulled up his hood and teleported towards him. When he arrived, both he and Kisame had defeated the jonin's present. Itachi nodded to him and Ryuto teleported to the outskirts of the village. A few moments later, Itachi and Kisame arrived.

"That went well. How was your cover blown?" Ryuto asked. "They must've realized early on who we were." Itachi answered. "We could've taken 'em easily." Kisame boasted. "From where I was standing, you seemed to have it handled." Ryuto said pulling down his hood. "What's that supposed to mean pipsqueak?" Kisame asked. "It was a compliment. Jeez, you are an idiot." Ryuto said.

"That's enough you two. We should be focused on grabbing the Nine-Tails." Itachi interjected.

"But I haven't collected information on it yet." Ryuto said. "You can get information while we find him." Itachi said.

As soon as the trio began walking, Ryuto felt a strong chakra presence near by. Ryuto looked over and saw Pain standing in the bushes. He motioned for him to come over. Ryuto nodded and teleported to him. When he reappeared, he kneeled before him. Ryuto had learned to respect the man's power as it was apparent and he feared the man. He was not sure why, he just did.

"I have a new mission for you. You are to observe the jinchuriki from the Hidden Cloud and report what you have found." Pain said. "Of course sir. Right away." Ryuto replied. "I expect results this time. I will not tolerate another failure." Pain said sternly. "Of course sir." Ryuto said.

Pain then disappeared form in front of him and Ryuto stood up. He looked towards where Itachi and Kisame were, they had already moved on. Ryuto let out a breath and teleported to the nearest point closest to the Hidden Cloud. Entering the village, he began his mission.

3 years later…

Ryuto stood in a cave and watched the One-Tail being extracted from it's host. He watched indifferently but inside of him he was angry, angry that he had assisted in killing someone. The last time he felt this way was when he assisted Itachi in killing his clan. It made him sick to his stomach having to take life, he had been that way since he killed the entire town. He would go into a state of panic that would take him awhile to exit. He absolutely hated killing, it was something he kept to himself. The the extraction finished, Gaara's lifeless body fell to the ground with a thud. Ryuto walked over to it and placed two fingers on his neck, he did not feel a heart beat. Ryuto gave a sigh and announced to the others.

"Very good. Now Sasori, Deidara prepare to welcome our guests. Ryuto I want you to meet me as soon as possible." Pain said.

Ryuto simply nodded and turned away from the group.

"What's go you so quiet, ey, Ryuto?" Deidara asked loudly. "It's none of your business." Ryuto answered. "Why so defensive. I'm only asking a simple question." Deidara said.

Ryuto then paced his hand on his katana and in a burst of speed he placed his blade on Deidara's throat.

"Say another word and I'll kill you myself." Ryuto threatened.

"As much as I'd like for you to kill him, I need him for now." Sasori said in a low tone.

Ryuto withdrew his sword from Deidara's neck and resheathed it to his side.

"That blade of yours sure is sharp." Deidara said with a laugh. "How about you take this more seriously." Ryuto rebutted. "Hey now, let loose a bit. We're all having some fun here." Deidara said. "I can't believe they let a loud mouth like you join us." Ryuto said with a groan. "Well from what I hear you always decline the invitations to join as a full member." Deidara said sitting on Gaara's body.

Ryuto tried his best to his anger at what Deidara was doing. The blonde may be annoying, but Ryuto never took him as someone who was disrespectful enough to sit on a recently deceased person.

"You shouldn't sit on the dead." Ryuto said. "They should be treated with honor and respect."

"Why do you care?" Deidara asked raising an eyebrow. "Because, it's a custom." Ryuto answered.

"Shouldn't you be getting to our leader, Rishihara?" Sasori asked. "I'm leaving now. Good luck with the visitors." Ryuto said.

Just as he disappeared, the giant bolder blocking the entrance was destroyed and in entered three Leaf Village shinobi and an old lady.

Ryuto took his time getting to the Hidden Rain Village. Normally he would teleport, but he did not feel the need to do it. When he reached the entrance, a guard stopped him.

"Stop right there. Who are you?" the guard ask.

Ryuto simply lifted his head and revealed his single visible eye. The guard nodded and moved to the side.

"You're expected." the guard said. "I know." Ryuto said as he walked past him.

He walked into the village and the rain poured on him. He looked up towards the sky and the rain seemed to not show any signs of letting up.

I hate this place Ryuto thought.

It's quite literally hidden in the rain Darkrai said.

It's too depressing Ryuto said.

Coming form the guy that says he's darkness and nightmare, that's rich Darkrai said with a chuckle.

Shut up Ryuto replied.

He walked to the front of the tallest building in the village. He looked up to the top, but it was covered by rain clouds. Ryuto gave a sigh and entered the building. Rather then walking up, he teleported to the top floor and as he appeared he kneeled in front of an orange haired man sitting on a ledge.

"You sure too your time to get here." the man said not facing him.

"I'm sorry. There was something I needed to take care of before coming here." Ryuto replied.

"Sasori is dead." the man said.

Ryuto let out a surprised gasp. "Who defeated him?"

"Leaf shinobi. Along with a woman from the Sand. Deidara was almost defeated as well, but barely survived." the man explained.

"I see. Do you want me to eliminate the shinboi?" Ryuto asked.

"No. I have another mission for you. We have reason to believe Orochimaru is making another appearance. I want you to finally end him." the man said.

"Where will he be appearing?" Ryuto asked.

"On a bridge leading into the Land of Grass from the Land of Fire. Elimiate anyone who stands in your way." the man ordered.

"It will be done, Lord Pain." Ryuto said standing.

"I don't want another failure." Pain said.

"Of course not," Ryuto said with a bow, "I'll make sure nothing gets in the way of your goal."

"Very good. I expect a report in two days time." Pain said.

Ryuto nodded and teleported out of the room. Meanwhile a man standing in the shadows appeared. He had an orange swirled mask and short dark hair.

"You didn't ask him to join our ranks." the masked man said in a deep voice.

"He would have rejected it. Like he always does." Pain said.

"Are you sure you can trust him with this assignment?" the masked man asked.

"Has he ever failed us?" Pain asked.

"Very well, I'll trust you judgment." the masked man said disappearing.

AN: And here comes to end this first chapter. This is mostly a prolog to what the story will be mostly about, and who I'll be focusing on. If you want some backstory or lore of how I mashed together Pokemon and Naruto, that will be explained as the story progresses. My intention is to tell the story all the way up to current canon, that includes Boruto, so this story will be around for a long time. I hope you enjoyed and stay tuned for the next chapter. Remember to follow, favorite, and/or review. Also, follow me on Twitter if you want to talk or just know random shenanigans from my life.
