Death Upon Gods, Hades

Prologue

"Well Kushina, It doesn't seem like we will get the chance to watch our boy grow up into the fine man we expect him to be," gasps the Yondaime Hokage with a claw lodged in his and his wife's stomach mere inches away from their bundle of joy, This claw is attached to none other than the Nine Tailed Fox, which despite being sat on by the boss toad summon Gamabunta shows little sign of relenting from its rampage.

"As usual, you are right Minato. At least we could keep him safe. I take it you must do that jutsu right?" murmurs Kushina as blood drips from her mouth and stomach wound.

"Yes I going to summon the Lord of Death, himself, the Shinigami, in order to properly seal this beast away. I know our son can handle the burden. The Sandaime can take care of the village and keep them from bothering our son," says the Yondaime, Minato Namikaze, as he runs through the handsigns for the sealing technique.

"Those idiots better not mess with my baby, or I will come back and haunt them for eternity," fumes Kushina as her chakra chains spring out of her back and wrap around the Kyuubi to hold it in place. Seeing her husband's swift procession through the hand-sign, she makes one request. "Minato, please, I know firsthand just how hard to control the Kyuubi's chakra is. Give our son the Yin portion and remove the Yang from this world."

"I can see your point. I'll do it and add another failsafe to the seal to strengthen it. Hopefully the Shinigami won't destroy me for borrowing its power," chuckles Minato, attempting to put his wife and himself at ease. "I'm ready, honey, Make sure the beast can't interfere."

"Right!" cries Kushina as her chains tighten further around the giant fox.

"Dead Demon Consuming Seal!" As the young Hokage speaks the words, the time seems to freeze and the world takes on a grayscale appearance excluding him and the Kyuubi, Feeling a chill at his back, Minato cranes his neck as best he can to take in the towering form behind him. Reaper is an apt name for the form of the being behind him with its purple skin, beige hair and white robes, Horns,black fangs and eyes fangs give the deity quite the fearsome appearance, It holds red prayer beads in its left hand and a, when compared to its large size, tanto in its mouth.

It's beige hair grows out and clings to both the Kyuubi and Hokage. Minato feels a chill down to his very soul as blue energy flows out of a takes his shape crucified before the Shinigami, The being raises its left hand before plunging it into Minato's back and out his belly to grab the Kyuubi about its neck. Pulling its hand back a light spectral form of Kyuubi comes back with the retracting hand, Though it struggles maintain its connection with its whole self, there is little the beast can do against the literal god before it, The hand floats upward holding the souls of the two being above both their physical bodies. The Shinigami uses its right hand to take the tanto from its mouth and raises the blade high. Slashing horizontally, the deity servers the energy connecting the souls to their bodies before inhaling them into his stomach.

The Kyuubi's form begins to shrivel, its face gaunt. While this was happening, the Yondaime attempts to grab a hair from the Shinigami before its form could disappear. Upon touching it with his hand, a deeper chill envelops his body as voice resounds in his head.

"Human, do you take me for a fool? Do you think you a the first to try to steal my power, Many before you have tried, and I have watched and laughed as their bodies suffered agony beyond their comprehension, Do your deed, but know this. All the suffering the child experiences shall be multiplied tenfold onto you from now till eternity for your arrogance!" boomed the voice.

Steeling his nerves, Minato pulls on the strand of hair still connected to his shoulder. "I accept any punishment you deem fit, Lord Shinigami, but I still need your help to protect my son." With one final heave, the Hokage yaks a single hair from the deity.

"So be it, mortal," whispers the voice as color returns to the world. With the Kyuubi weakened, Kushina chains and Gambunta are able to pull the claw out of the wounded parents' stomachs. Knowing he has little time left, Minato hobbles to his son and summons the ceremonial throne necessary for the upcoming sealing. Using the blood from his wound, the Yondaime draws the array on his son's belly. The child laughs at the tickling sensation, triggering Minato to smile, too, Upon finishing the seal array, Minato holds up the hair he had been clutching in his left hand, sensing, ever so slightly, the ancient power within it, He carefully places the hair of the in a circle around the spiral which makes up the inner portion of the seal. As if aware of the power placed on him, the babe becomes stock still.

"Minato, what is that?" asks his wife as she struggles to maintain control over the enraged tailed beast.

"The hair of the death, itself," replies Minato plainly.

"Now is not the time for one of your jokes, idiot," screams back Kushina.

"We needed an insurance policy to make sure the fox cannot consume our son. What better way to reinforce the seal than with the powers of a god?" says the Hokage hoping to calm down his irate wife.

"You... I don't have the words or the freedom of movement to express just how pissed I am at you right now. I should've known you had a god complex when you named your signature move the Flying Thunder God, If my baby ends up hurt, the Shinigami, himself, won't save you from my wrath!" screams out Kushina as her hair floats around her head as if having a life of its own.

"Trust me on this one honey, It's for the best. Now, send me a chakra chain, Gambunta move out of the way," says Minato choosing not to argue in his final moments, Without a word, Kushina send a thin chain towards the Yondaime and their son, Grabbing it with his right hand, he put a bit of his chakra into the chain and hold it over the center of spiral. "I know you will make me proud, Naruto, Eight Trigram Sealing Technique!"

A great light consumes all within the clearing.

- Five Years Later-

It is night time in the Village Hidden in the Leaves, Konohagakure, Everyone is getting ready for sleep after another a day of hard work and in today's case celebration, Earlier that day a festival celebrating the defeat of the Kyuubi no Yoko took place. It had been a giant nine tailed, demon fox that had nearly destroyed the village, Thankfully the Yondaime Hokage had been able to stop the beast, Sadly the victory cost him his life, Their beloved kage is among many who died that day, leaving behind many more mourners, Some of these people could not let go of their grief even five years later, They desire an outlet for their pain, and they find one in the form of a five year old boy with blonde spiky hair and whisker marks on each of his cheeks, They could not overtly express their ire due to the Sandaime's law providing protection for the lad, They often resorted to ignoring the child every opportunity allowed to goal had been to isolate the creature, to show it that it didn't belong in their village, However, tonight with liquid courage to boaster their raging emotions, darker feelings come to the surface, namely hate. Pure unfiltered hate for the Kyuubi's continued existence raises in a select few in the village, A collection of ninja decide to make it their duty to hunt the little menace down and finish what their Yondaime started all those years ago.

This little boy is none other then Naruto Uzumaki, Though he doesn't the know it, he is the container of Kyuubi, Despite this ignorance, he runs for his life from the mob of angry villagers. He always wishes he knew why the villagers despise him so much, especially on his looks of indifference always hurt as though he doesn't belong here,but Konoha is the only place he's ever known, He even made a wish to finally get attention when he blew out his birthday candle this morning with the old man Hokage.

"So much for a Happy Birthday wish, Did I do it wrong?" Naruto thinks to himself bitterly as he rounds another corner, hoping to lose the crowd behind him. He just wants an end to the glares, for someone to smile because he was there, simply put he wants a friend. He wants his dreams to be full of smiles and laughter from playing together with that special person, not the cold, uncaring, and dismissive eyes that fill his nightmares now, He however would gladly take those old looks over the hate filled glares directed at him on this night. It is what triggered him to start running in the first place. As he runs, he can not but think about how poorly named "Happy Birthday" is,

As little Naruto runs for his life, deep within his body, something lies in wait in his mind, This being has been wanting to meet his other self for a long time now, and something tells him his time would come quite soon.

Time Skip 3 Hours Later

After hours of running, ducking, and temporary hiding, Naruto makes a wrong turn resulting in him facing a walled off corridor. He turns around only to see his pursuers blocking off his escape route. The forty villagers and five ninja all seem to be leaking killing intent him for some reason, The new hate filled look is present on each person's face, This is definitely not what he wished for when he blew out his birthday cake candles this morning. He tries to remember any recent action that could have cause the reaction from the villagers. Finding no answer in his mind, he left with only one option, asking, "What have I done? Please leave me alone, I didn't do anything to you," cries out Naruto as the villagers and ninjas close in on him with knives and kunai in hand.

"Why should we? You didn't leave us alone five years ago when you nearly destroyed our village and took our leader. It's time to avenge our fallen. You will pay for your sins with your life, demon." says one of the villagers before lunges forward knife in hand, and slashes Naruto across his eyes, Screaming while clutching his face, Naruto could barely focus on the cheers coming from the crowd. He did feel the punches, kicks, and stabs that follow, Naruto cries as he feels himself losing consciousness, one thought on his mind, "Am I going to die here... alone in the dark?"

-Naruto's Mindscape-

Naruto wakes up in what looks to be a sewer tunnel, but the site is unfamiliar to him. "Where am I? I want to go hom-" little Naruto stops himself from finishing his thought. Could he really think of Konoha as home since the village doesn't treat him well. Initially it wasn't really bad, just uncaring of him except for a few great people like old man Hokage, Ayame Ichiraku and her father, Teuchi, at the ramen stand. Naruto frowns as thinks hard about any other person that had shown him a kindness in the past. Realizing there is no one, Naruto sits against the tunnel wall wall and buries his head in his knees.

While he is thankful for those that did care, it is not enough stave off the hurt because in truth he has no friends, family or home of his own. Naruto almost laughs as a realization hits him," It doesn't even matter now, I'm dead. Some birthday present, I ask for someone to notice me, and I get killed. I wish God wouldn't mess with me."

"Then come to me, little Naruto," says a voice coming from Naruto's left. Looking up quickly and turning towards the voice, Naruto sees a dark hallway with a stone archway completely different from the sewer tunnel he had been in. Believing it may be a way out, he walks down the hall. After a bit a walking, Naruto finds himself somewhere he never in his short life thought he would get the chance to see, a grand palace made of stone.

As he walks around in the grand structure he sees statues, fountains, lush gardens, and even mosaics. He remembers reading that places like this existing a long time ago in few books he borrowed from the old man. The books did not prepare him for the sight before him, a dark gray colored, stone sanctuary stands at the center of the palace. His curiosity increases the more he sees, so he ventures into the building, wondering if anyone actually lives here.

Before too long, Naruto finds himself in a chamber that looks to be a throne room or something of the like. The room floor appears to be lined with a reflective black marble, and new statues, These are different than the ones outside, as some of them depict the image of people that Naruto knows, The Ichirakus with a bowl of ramen in hand, the Sandaime with his pipe and a wise smile on his lips, even that crazy cat that scratched up the face of a former bully of his is here the room, Before he can ponder about the other features of the room, Naruto eyes land on the sole other occupant in the room.

An person, a man, appears to be sitting on a well cushioned, high backed chair, and seems to be patiently waiting for Naruto if the fist on his cheek is any indication. His long, black hair provides a sharp contrast once compared to his pale skin which looks as if he left the sanctuary as often as the statues that line the room, but it still somehow has a healthy look to it, Stunning black robes with embroideries of white and gold cover his body down to his ankles which have odd leather straps that crisscross themselves before attaching to black sandals on his feet. His face looks like it had been carved from the same material as the statues around the structure being smooth, angular, and lacking any semblance of baby fat. Hs face carries an air of detached regality that is far beyond any person he's ever met, all of which is amplified by the white crown that sits on his head. It is as though this person is a god given human form. Even though this being's eyes are closed, Naruto still felt it knew he is here.

Naruto notices the man open his eyes to look at him, A smile stretches across the man's face as if this person is happy to see him or something, "Finally after so long I finally get to meet you, Naruto" says the person while still holding his smile.

Naruto confused at the person's words asks," J-just who are you? Where are we? What do you mean you been waiting to see me for a long time? Is that why I had to die? Are you the god that supposed to watch over me in the afterlife?"

"Ahh, where are my manners. My name is…-" says the person. Naruto couldn't hear his name. It was like he had become deaf for a moment.

"What was that? I couldn't hear your name, please repeat yourself, Is this some kind of trick?" says the blonde boy ready to run away from the person at the slightest indication of trouble.

The being lifts his hand to stop Naruto flight." Aren't you full of questions, but I don't blame you, This is not a trick, Naruto, You can't hear my name right now because you're not strong enough and don't fit the conditions I require, We are in your mind, I am your Zanpakutō, a soul slayer, I also happen to be your weapon spirit, You see, Naruto, you and I are part of each other, Specifically, I am a part of you, so I want to protect you from harm, Anyway I am not a god sent to watch over you in death unto eternity, Though you're not radically far off in that claim, it kind of hard to watch over you in the afterlife when you not dead," says the person, Naruto nods his head as he does his best to understand everything that the spirit is saying, mostly catching the fact that the being is on his side and that he isn't dead.

"Once you hear my full name, you will be able to use Shikai, which will unleash some of our power, After you've mastered me, you will then learn Bankai to grow even stronger, There is also one thing you should know though, normally only the Shinigami is able to use Zanpakutō, but since you have spiritual powers thanks to certain circumstances, you will be able to use me. Now let the test begin!" says Naruto's Zanpakutō as he stands to his feet showing his impressive height of being well over seven feet tall, The spirit snaps his fingers and many doors appear out of nowhere around the chamber, there are hundreds of them circling around the throne room even along the high dome ceiling.

He snaps his fingers again and the doors stop moving. "Now, Naruto your test is to find me in my sword form. Good luck and start looking because the clock is ticking. I'll give you one clue: Calm yourself. For in calm, there is clarity," says the spirit before it disappears into a black cloud leaving Naruto to start the test.

Naruto starts opening random doors hoping to find his Zanpakutō but stops due the fact he is getting really annoyed with his failures, He tries to calm down like his Zanpakutō said. while he calms down, ribbons suddenly appear out of nowhere around Naruto, He opens his eyes and is startled upon seeing them all white ribbons but he notices that each is connected to a door. Looking around, he see a lonely red ribbon so he reach out for it, All the ribbons disappear except the red one, He follows the ribbon till it leads to a door handle. Naruto turns it, hoping it's not a trap, A great red slit eye glares back at Naruto after he opens the door.

"I see you've found me, human. Expect no mercy from me. I will feast on your-" the entity never gets the chance to finish its threat before Naruto slams the door shut, breathing heavily while clutching his chest.

"Wrong door, wrong door," pants out Naruto, Shaking off his fear, Naruto thinks to himself, " Come on Naruto, focus." The chant helps as the ribbons appear once again, Noticing the lone black ribbon on the ground, grabs it as t remind him of the spirit, Following the ribbon, he sees that it is leading him to a ten foot tall statue within the sanctuary that resembles the being he just met, The eyes of the statue stares down at Naruto with a look he at come to easily recognize and dislike when directed at him, one of cold detachment and aloofness. Though he knew it wasn't alive the staring still unnerves him.

While looking for an entrance to continue his journey, Naruto reads an inscription written at the base of the statue, "Before the might of death, all are made equal, All bow when faced with oblivion, Fear not the void for in its calm ye may yet find peace."

Seeing that the ribbon lead him to the statue and inscription, Naruto figures that the inscription must be a clue, Looking around the statue again for anything that might be a doorway, Naruto has trouble finding anything that stands out, His search is cut short by a loud banging, Looking around, Naruto turns his attention to the large wooden door that he walked through in order to enter the throne room, He jumps as he sees a black skeletal hand smash through the wood, Another cracking sound makes itself known as an actual skull launches through the door a little above the hand, The sockets of the ebony skeleton hold a subtle red glow as they scan the room looking for their target, Upon spotting Naruto, the skull snaps its jaws at him and struggles to break free of the door.

Realizing that indeed time is short, Naruto redoubles his efforts in searching for a way out of the chamber. Checking the ribbon again, he notices that it leads just above the inscription on the pedestal but under the statue's robes, The gap is just his size, and Naruto, spurred by the increase of the sounds of cracking wood, scampers into the crawl space. With no room to lift his head, Naruto uses the ribbon as his guide to move forth. He makes out the faint noise of the door finally collapsing, and thanks his lucky stars for getting out of the room in time. However the further he crawls, the darker the environment gets, Eventual only light Naruto see is the faint azure glow that comes from the ribbon in front of his face. After what seems like hours of crawling, Naruto finally arrives at a silver door with the ribbon passing through the keyhole. The problem with the situation is that Naruto is still face down crawling with the door under him. Gulping down the lump in his throat, Naruto makes his way to the doorknob and turns it, Under his weight the door immediately opens, making Naruto fall through it, Rather then plummeting to his doom, Naruto steps into a room completely upright.

Taking a moment to take in the features of the room, Naruto sees he is in what looks to be a grassy meadow at night time, The sole object in the field is an o-katana on a stone mantle with strange letters written on the stand that he could not read, He walks up to and tries pull the sword off the mantle, but it doesn't move. He decides to use all the strength he has in his small body then suddenly blue chakra appears bursting from his body, Heavy, gray storm clouds appear above the meadow and shoot lightning all around him, Still he tries to pick up the sword. The earth shakes and cracks as slivery souls float out of the cracks and whisper the hateful words of the villagers into his ears about his worthlessness, Shaking his head to ignore them, Naruto blows the spirits back a little as more charka pours out of his body like a bonfire.

"That's it, Naruto, Don't give up, Don't let paltry fear stop you, Don't let feeble humans stop you, Don't even let the arrogant gods from above stop you from getting what you truly want, what is rightfully yours!" says the disembodied voice of his Zanpakutō as Naruto's blue chakra starts changing into a different color, pure black along with his hair which straightens and lengthens to his mid-back .

"Naruto, listen to me, You are now strong enough to hear my name, Now, repeat my words and show the world your power" says the Zanpakutō spirit while the little blonde boy nods still holding onto the sword on the mantle.

Repeating his Zanpakutō's word, Naruto says, "Come forth true ruler of souls, the harbinger of extinction, and reaper from the void, Bring Death to All, Both Man and God, Hades!" By the time his words finish, the sword glows as it slowly comes off the stone mantle.

-Real World-

The villagers and ninja jump back at seeing pure black chakra suddenly burst out of the boy's body. Some think the fox has shown its true colors while some fear they have unleashed something they should have left dormant.

The black chakra starts covering Naruto like a cocoon, The ninja try using their weapons to crack the 'cocoon' so that they could kill Naruto before what ever is happening reaches fruition to no avail, They prepare to switch to jutsu, but stop when they feel a sudden pulse of energy, The 'cocoon' cracks and shatters open, showing a completely different Naruto with the appearance he gained in his minds cape, His skin appears paler than before and the signature whiskers are gone from his cheeks, He stands a little taller due to the transformation and holds a o-katana that wasn't in his possession before.

Naruto grabs the sword's handle at his eye level and says," Bring Death to All, Both Man and God, Hades!" A dark light explodes forth from the child and covers every villager and ninja as the dark light blasts into night sky. The whole village hears the screams of dozens of people.

From that point on, the life of Naruto Uzumaki would never be the same forever and neither would the world, For good or evil, only the future could tell.
