Dark Shadows

Hello everyone! This fic is basically a the same storyline, but with Naruto as a cold hearted blood thirty kid. Very dark, violent, and twisted. I like things that are dark, violent, and twisted…though I'm not gothic…but I just think evil things are cool (ex. vampires, demons, psychos like Gaara, etc).

Pairings haven't been decided…your suggestions would be helpful

Enjoy and review!

EDIT: I took someone's advice on Naruto's sword. It's not as long as Sephiroth's Masasume cause if it was, it would be way bigger than Naruto.

The Return

Kakashi stood at the gates of Konoha reading his book. He was alone. He looked up to see a young boy walking towards him.

"Ah…Naruto…" Kakashi spoke.

Naruto had black hair with long bangs hanging down his face and was wearing a black long sleeved shirt and pants with a large black cloak with red kanji on it that said "blood". His eyes were red, red like blood.

Naruto grinned. "Kakashi…still hiding that eye of yours?"

"Ah…well, it's always on, so if I have it out in the open my chakra is going to be used up. And what's up with your eyes?"

"My eyes? I felt I needed a change..." was the answer.

Kakashi sighed. "You're a child, but your mind isn't. Anyway, your old apartment is still there and you start going to the school tomorrow. Final exams are a month away, not that you would have any problem though."

Naruto walked into the village and took a big breath of the air.

"The village hasn't tasted blood in years. There's no blood in the air." With that, faded away. (AN: this is kind of like Gaara's sand travel technique, except Naruto uses darkness. Picture it as a darkness swirls around him and he disappears into the swirl and then the swirl disappears.)

"I wonder if the village still remember him. He's been gone for eight years…" Kakashi whispered to himself…

Next morning…

"Quiet down," Iruka told the class. The class continued to talk as if he wasn't there.

"Quiet down…" Iruka repeated, but still, the class continued to talk.

"SHUT UP!" Iruka yelled. The class immediately went silence.

"Thank you. I would like to announce that we have a new student, or actually, a returning student. Please welcome, Uzumaki Naruto."

The door slid open and Naruto walked in with his dark clothes. The class just stared at him. Sasuke eyed him carefully sensing a powerful rival. The girls in the class just gaped.

'Oh! He reminds me of the sexy Sasuke!' thought Ino.

'Oh! I'm going to get to him first before Ino-pig does' thought Sakura.

Ino and Sakura stared at eyed each other (they were sitting right next to each other.

The two begin attempting to push each other off for an empty seat.

"He's mine!" Sakura growled.

"Oh sure…your giant forehead is going to make him fall for you. Psh!" replied Ino.

"Please sit next to Shikamaru. Shikamaru, raise your hand," Iruka spoke.

Shikamaru raised his hand lazily and Naruto sat next to him.

'Damnit!' the two girls thought.

"Now for the lesson," Iruka began to teach.

Shikamaru laid his head on the desk and began to sleep. Naruto glanced at him and sighed.

'These people are so weak,' Naruto thought. He glanced at Sasuke. 'Uchiha Sasuke. You better be a worthy one. Your Sharingan is mine…"

One month later…

"Today is the final exam! Today is you will become a ninja, or you fail and begin trying to becoming a ninja," Iruka spoke. "I will begin calling you to another room to take the test."

Naruto has been doing excellent in his class. He would be the top rookie if he had been at the school the whole year, but he's only going to graduate second.

"Shikamaru," Iruka called out. Shikamaru was sleeping on his desk once again.

Naruto poked Shikamaru in a very sensitive nerve.

"Ah!" Shikamaru cried out as he sat up. "Why do you always poke me there? It's my most ticklish point."

"It's fun to torture people. And for your knowledge, there are other more sensitive areas, I just choose not to poke it," Naruto replied smiling.

Shikamaru stood up and walked to the other room.

After a few more people, it was Naruto's turn. He stood up and walked to the other room. Iruka was sitting at a desk next to a grey haired man.

"Okay, Naruto. Please create two bunshins."

Naruto lifted a hand and extended his index and middle finger up.

"Bunshin no jutsu," Naruto spoke softly.

Two copies appeared to his side in a puff of smoke.

"Congratulations! You pass! Please take one of these forehead protectors."

Naruto cancelled his copies and walked up to the desk and grabbed a forehead protector and placed it around his head. He stared at Mizuki for awhile before he walked out of the room.

"Naruto!!!" Ino and Sakura cried out rushing to Naruto. They grabbed both his arms and began to tug.

"Let's go have fun together!" Sakura cried out.

"Come with me. I got a really nice house. You should come see it!" Ino spoke.

Naruto puffed into smoke and nothing was there. The girls looked around bewildered.

Sasuke was sitting near them.

"Oh Sasuke!" the girls cried out.

In the hallway…

Naruto and Shikamaru were walking to the exit of the building.

"Girls are troublesome aren't they?" Shikamaru asked.

"Everything is troublesome to you. You'd be a very powerful ninja if you tried," Naruto replied.

"There's no point. I just want to be a ninja to make some money, then have a family and make kids and get the kids to take care of me."

"You have no hope," Naruto replied.

The two walked outside the building and looked at the clouds.

"Naruto…"

"Hmm?"

"What happened eight years ago? You vanished suddenly…"

Naruto sighed.

"Well, I left. I walked out of the gates and into the free world. I was sick of everyone acting like I was some outcast.

"While running around in the forest, I was attacked by some wolves. One of Konoha's jounin came and stopped them from killing me. It was the great Kakashi. He saved me, but instead of sending me back here, he sent me to a friend of his. He was very powerful, even more powerful than Kakashi. I've been there since then, with occasional visits from Kakashi. And now, I've returned. I've returned to become a full fledge ninja."

"Oh…" Shikamaru replied absorbing of what just happened to him.

"I'm going to head home now," Naruto told Shikamaru.

"Okay, later."

Naruto faded away.

(AN: for those weird freaks out there, there will be NO yaoi!)

That night…

Mizuki stood before the small building where the Scroll of Seals were kept.

"The power of Konoha are mine…" he spoke to himself.

"Pathetic…" came a voice behind him.

Mizuki turned around holding out his giant shuriken.

"What are you doing here?" Mizuki asked.

"What do you think? To stop you. The jutsus in the scroll are only for the elite. You are not an elite."

"What do you know?"

"Because I can do the jutsus in there."

Mizuki gasped. "Liar!" He threw his shuriken at Naruto.

Naruto's hand went to his waist and he pulled out a long katana and sliced the shuriken in half.

With his left hand, he held it up. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" he cried out. Two shadow clones appeared and charged at Mizuki and pinned his arms against the wall.

Naruto sheathed his katana and pulled out three kunai. He grinned evilly…

The next morning…

The Third Hokage, Kakashi, and several Chuunins stood and looked at the unconscious body of Mizuki.

A kunai was stabbed through each of his hands and into the wall making him hang in a cross. The word "traitor" was written on the ground with blood and a note was hung on the wall by a third kunai.

A Chuunin grabbed the note and gave it to the Hokage.

"Mizuki was attempting to steal the Scroll of Seals. I stopped him. —Naruto"

"This boy has a lot of skill. He's going to be one of your new team."

"Yeah. I know. It's going to be very interesting…" Kakashi chuckled.

End of chapter 1! Hope you like it! Next chapter is when the teams are formed and they have to take the test to become a Genin. Thanx for reading!
