Naruto spat blood as he glared at the figure on the lake. He and his team had just gotten their first C-Rank mission, only, it was not C-Rank at all. The first clue was the appearance of the Demon Brother, Kiri's Chunnin level missing Ninja. Kakashi had disposed of them quickly. But, as they progressed, they were met by Kiri's ultimate assassin, who was also a missing Ninja. Momochi Zabuza. The combined strength of Naruto and Kakashi had managed to hold him off, but he soon summoned backup, in the form of a woman about Naruto's age, but more powerful than even Zabuza himself.

And now they stand. Naruto, panting and bleeding from multiple slash wounds gained from Zabuza, with Kakashi doing a remarkable impersonation of a pincushion. Their other two teammates were of no help either. They fainted, along with their civilian client when Zabuza had first arrived.

Naruto shakily got up, but was met with an unfortunate event. Zabuza stabbed his sword through his gut. Kakashi stared in horror, and the other Ninja, Haku her name, watched on in curiosity. But none expected what was to happen next.

Fire surrounded Naruto and burned into him. It entered all the crevices, even the eyes, and started changing him. He grew, a few inches over six feet, and became much more bulky. His clothes had also changed. Armor appeared all over him, gauntlets, with the left being far larger than the other, shoulder guards and the rest.

The sword itself shot out of him and imbedded in the ground a foot or two away, with the handle facing him. It had also stated changing. It grew even more massive, but no longer a slab of metal, but a true twin bladed sword with skulls engraved all over its surfaces.

Naruto lay on one knee, panting, and the others stared in shock and awe. Then three stone skulls appeared around Naruto, and spoke.

"It seems that the young rider has awakened." One spoke

"Who…. Who are you?" Naruto raised his head, and the other saw the changes. His eyes had turned full white, nothing else was seen, and they were shining. His whisker marks had disappeared, and in their place a half circle above his eyes, which was glowing orange in color appeared. His voice was also deeper.

"We are the Charred Council. For centuries, we have kept the balance of the three kingdoms, The Kingdom of Men, Heaven and Hell. To this end, we employed our agents, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: War, Death, Strife and Fury."

"What happened to me?"

"You have awoken your power, and your ancestry. You, Naruto, are the Son of War, the First of the Horsemen."

"And my mother?"

"Uriel, the Archangel of Heaven's forces. The two were first enemies, Uriel believing War killed her previous lover, but when she saw the truth, she fell in love with him."

"You were born of that union."

"At first, we did not approve of the relationship, but War made it quite…. clear, that he would not take kindly to meddling in his happiness, and both his brothers and his sister stood by him. Over time, we grew to accept the fact."

"After you were born, the Kyuubi no Kitsune, one of Hells mightiest generals, attacked a human village, in order to lure War into a trap. Seeing as how Uriel was in that village, in the process of giving birth to you, powerless, he did all he could to stop the demon in its tracks. But, he was defeated."

"The demons took him and his wife into their realm, to hold prisoner. We cannot go there, or send the other Horsemen, for that would cause war within the Three Kingdoms once again."

Naruto's eyes glowed fiery red. "Where are they?" He growled.

"In the Ninth Level of the Ninth Hell, where Samael leads the Hoards of the Damned."

"But you will never reach the Circle as you are now."

"So take your father's blade, Chaoseater, and stand against the Armies of Hell, as your father did once before."

Naruto took the sword by the handle, and pulled it out of the ground. A shockwave hit the earth, and the sword's power, as well as Naruto's, spiked to an enormous level felt all throughout the land. Sasuke, having awakened along with Sakura when the Council appeared, was both scared shitless and salivating at all the power.

Heaven

Michael, having felt the power, raised his head and smiled warmly.

Soon, my sister, you shall be free once more.

Hell

Samael was pacing in front of the prison of War and Uriel, when he too felt the power. He looked up and snarled, smashing a few demons that were too close.

Both Uriel and War too felt the power, and smiled proudly, squeezing each other's hand.

Come Naruto, and let Hell know why they should fear the Son of War.

Charred Council Palace, Horsemen Chambers, Stables.

Death was tending to Ruin, his brother's steed, as he had done for fifteen years, when the shockwave hit. Ruin lifted its head, and shook its main, eyes blazing red. Death looked at ruin, and then to his brother and sister who were just running into the stables.

"Death, is it….?" Strife spoke.

"Yes, Strife. The time has come to see our nephew, and give him the gifts that would help him if he is to succeed in freeing our brother and his wife. Come Ruin, it is time to take you to your new master." The steed neighed, and stomped the ground anxiously.

Earth

Naruto snapped his back and leaned the sword against his shoulder.

"We have one more gift to help you on your journey."

"We will remove the taint of the demon that is Kyuubi, and put another soul inside you, that will aid you in the upcoming trails and battles." The skulls focused beams of fire on him, and a red orb was seen slowly coming out, followed by screaming. As soon as it reached the Council, it disappeared, and a white orb flew to Naruto, much faster than the last. As soon as it assimilated into Naruto, a figure of an angel dressed in a golden gown, with massive white feather wings and an old, wise face, appeared. He bowed to Naruto, and smiled.

"Hello, Naruto. My name is Azrael. I am the Angel of Death, and a longtime friend of your father. I hope I help you in your endeavor to free him." Naruto nodded to the angel, and turned once again to the Council.

"I thank you for your help, Council."

"Think nothing of it. One more thing. When you have time, seek out the Black Hammer. He will help you." A number of black portals appeared around Naruto, and a dozen or so demons of various sized and states of ugliness appeared. "Let's see what you got, Horseman."

Naruto frowned at the demons, and stabbed the nearest one, cleaving it in two. He swung his blade and decapitated another, before grinding it against the ground, splitting the third. Then two larger ones charged, one from each side. Naruto jumped, and swung himself and his blade in a circle, cutting both their heads open. Four more, only smaller, tried surrounding him, but he made a circle with Chaoseater, and cut them in half. The last ones to charge were some bat like creatures. He jumped at one, sticking his sword in its gut, before swinging to the next, carrying his sword with him, cutting more of the bat-like demon in the process. He repeated the same until all four were dealt with.

When he finished the demons, their bodies, along with the blood that spattered him, evaporated.

"Nice." Was all Azrael had to say.

"Impressive, Horseman."

"We must go now."

"Goodbye, and good luck."

How do you like my new idea?

At first, I thought of killing Naruto's parents, but then I got thinking. Hey, War's a Horseman, right. Meaning, if he's killed, the Council will revive him again or something like that. Not mush sense in that now is it. And I decided to give Uriel this chance, because I think she went through Hell and back in the game. Plus….. she's hot.

Review, and tell me who you want to be paired with Naruto (the more uncommon, the better; I may not go with the popular vote, seeing as how I don't like to overuse a pairing), and who you want to appear from the game, other than the ones already mentioned.
