Naruto: Man behind the Mask Prologue: Satan's Masque

AN: For those of you who are confused this will be a mostly NarutoxSplatterhouse crossover with some elements from other anime/manga/games/etc. including High School DXD, which is the Anime/Manga that Rias Gremory is from. For information on the Terror Mask, look it up on the Splatterhouse wikia. For my preferences, this is the Terror Mask from Splatterhouse (2010). Also this takes place AFTER the Mission to Wave and Anko Matarashi is 18 in this fic. Once again, this will be a NarutoxAnkoxRias story.

WARNING!

Be warned, there will be much blood and guts spilt in this story as well as adult themes so read at your own risk. Also to all Sasuke or Sakura fans reading this, SASUKE-TEME AND SAKURA WILL BE BASHED AS WELL AS THE CIVILIAN COUNCIL! More than likely people won't care if the civilian council is bashed but I'm just making sure you readers are aware of who is being bashed. You've been warned.

Disclaimer: Once again I do not own Naruto, or any other stuff I write about. But that doesn't mean I wish I did.

Chapter Start

Naruto was dying. Not 5 minutes ago, he was ambushed by several ANBU, not that it wasn't a common occurrence for the young ninja, but no one had injured him to the point of death before. Well technically no one else had gotten that far yet, mostly because of the Kyuubi and his guardian angel/sexy bitch, Anko Matarashi.

Naruto and Anko met a few days after the Mission to Wave. They got to know each other pretty well within that timeframe and found that they had a lot in common. A month and several pranks later, Anko and Naruto were officially going out. (Sorry if that's not a good enough explanation, blame my laziness lol) After that, she basically made herself her "Precious Naruto-koi's" protector. Anyone who even tried to get a killing shot at Naruto had to face Anko.

Unfortunately for Naruto, some Root ANBU had caught him while his Hebi-hime was on a mission and capitalized on that, cornered him, and made Naruto spill his guts, literally. And here we have Naruto Uzumaki, bleeding profusely from his stomach while dragging his own intestines to a cave that was nearby the training ground he was near, Training Ground 666.

'Anko-chan', Naruto thought to himself as he reached the cave, 'I'm so…sorry about this…but I'm afraid...that I won't live to see… you again. Damn Root, they could've…at least finished…the job…hehe.' Looking around the cavern he was in, he could see a lot of fallen over statues and, surprisingly, crushed bones and a mask. 'Maybe…this is where Root…leaves its messes.'

"Anko…chan", Naruto managed to say before collapsing, "I…I'm sorry."

"You know…I can't help but see that you're in quite a situation here", a voice spoke out of nowhere.

Naruto looked around, trying to see where the voice was coming from.

"Those people…those men…they took your life…your dreams…they took it all…didn't they?"

Naruto stopped looking around and focused on the mask resting not 5 meters from where he was lying in a pool of his own blood. 'Is this shit for real?' he thought.

"…Only thing you got left is your soul…and that belongs to meeee…"

Naruto noticed that the more he focused on the mask in the room, the clearer he could hear the voice.

"Looks like you figured out where I am, blondie. Who am I? Let's just say I'm God…your God…least the only god that's listening right now…"

"What…do…"Naruto struggled to say.

"What do I want…ah just the same as any other God…a little faith…for without faith…I am nothing, and without me…YOU'RE FUCKED! You don't have to die ya know, gaki. I can help you…I can heal your wounds."

Naruto was shocked to say the least, not only was this mask "talking" (he figured it was some kind of telepathy) to him, but it seemed to be offering to help heal him. Question was…could he trust this being? Did he have a choice?

"I can understand your skepticism, but I haven't been able to contact anyone, not even the one-armed bastard that put me here. And only those who I can contact can really use my power."

Naruto began crawling over to where the mask was lying, leaving a trail of blood as he crawled. When he got to the mask, he put it on his chest, obviously almost drained of energy.

"I can give you the power you need to get revenge on those masked freaks, as well as the power to become a great ninja. If you trust me…"

Naruto, with the last of his strength, raised the mask above his head and started to lower it onto his face…

"…If you PUT…ME…ON….."

Chapter end

AN: sorry if it's a little short but this is a mostly just a prologue. Hope you enjoyed it regardless! Also Naruto will only be with Anko and Rias Gremory in this story. I will not add any other girls to Naruto's lovers in this story (it's not a harem so i'm not going to call it that).
