A child no older than 6 years old was desperately running down the street of the Hidden village of the leaves panting heavily. A question you might ask is why was he running. Well, this child is a little special... He was Naruto Uzumaki Jinchuriki of the Nine-tailed demon fox that attacked the village six years ago causing massive destruction, killing many shinobi and civilians alike, It wasn't until Konoha, the greatest hero and strongest ninja in the village. The fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze sacrificed himself sealing the fox into his newborn son, sadly few knew of his heritage, But many saw him as the fox reincarnate leading to the so-called 'fox hunts' by both civilians and shinobis.
The young boy made a sharp turn to the right to try and shake the villagers constantly pursuing him while yelling things like.
"kill the demon brat"
"We'll end what the fourth started"
"It's his fault the Uchiha are treated like this"
The kid came to a stop as he came to a dead end, seeing no way to escape he turned and ran back to the street were it not for the mob that cut off from his only escape route. A shinobi with two crimson red eyes and black tomos threw several shurikens and a kunai embedding themself in the boy's body sending him plummeting to the ground and coughing up blood. At the same time, the rest of the civilians got closer and started beating him up cutting him and insulting him.
A few minutes later the villagers took a step back to take a breath, the scene was worthy of being in a horror movie, the floor was bathed in the young blonde blood, deep cuts all over his body, bruises all over his body, broken bones protruding from his arms and legs, third degree burns on his back and chest, and lastly the shuriken on his eye.
The boy had passed out from all the pain as the leader stepped closer taking out a blade "We will finally get rid of you as the fourth wanted" he said as he brought down his blade. Only to be stopped by someone kicking him everyone saw it was a girl about nine years old with short black hair a female attire stepping in front of Naruto.
"what do you think you are doing" asked an uchiha as the girl looked at everyone. "I'm protecting a harmless child from idiots," said the girl angry at everyone for hitting a kid. " JAJAJA that boy harmless don't make us laugh he's the nine-tailed demon fox that attacked our village we are going to end him ." said the Uchiha arrogantly as he punched the girl as she opened her eyes showing a three-tomo Sharingan. This surprised everyone only for the Uchiha to snarl seeing his clan's bloodline as he started punching her and only stopping when everyone heard one thousand angry chirping birds followed by the yell of Raikiri followed by the thud. Everyone turned to see a man with silver hair wearing a dog mask and Anbu armor "Hawk take them to the hospital" said the dog-masked man who seemed to be the leader as the Anbu did he turned to the civilians.
"I'll give you ten seconds to explain why you are attacking and leaving two kids like this." asked the dog-masked Anbu stoically but everyone could feel his anger. "THAT'S NO CHILD IT'S THE DEMON FOX THAT KILLED THOUSANDS OF OUR PEOPLE AND THE FOURTH WEAKENED FOR US TO FINISH HIS WORK" yelled a civilian feeling anger and separation.
"You've broken the third law your punishment is death as for the rest send them to Ibiki and tell him that he can use the new torture techniques on them for a test run," said the dog with an emotionless tone this sent shivers to the anbu team that appeared ready to take them and made the crowd go white. As some tried to run only the Uchiha rushed at the dog-masked Anbu yelling "I'M AN UCHIHA I'LL DO WHAT I WANT" only to be impaled by the dog's sword as he was sealed. The dog-masked Anbu didn't waste any more time and ran to the hospital his thoughts mixed 'This can't happen again it seems like I'm going to have to change myself I'm sorry kushina-nee I've failed you.'
naruto's mind escape
"Damn it hold on kit," yelled a giant fox who was on the other side of the bars with a paper with the word 'seal' on it, while sending an overwhelming amount of chakra to the boy only for a small amount to come out.
"Damn seal if I don't do something we will both" he didn't finish as he wasn't ready even if he would return it would be a real pain. That's when he noticed the boy started to move when his hand went up to his eye. "Am I dead?" he asked as he looked around not feeling the pain or missing his eye as his eyes landed on the giant fox he backed away saying Y-y-you are the nine-tailed fox so I'm dead" he screamed as sadness took him.
"No you aren't dead yet and yes I am the fox but we don't have much time I need you to tear a part of this seal that way my chakra will heal you," the fox said and growled. "why should I trust you. You are the reason why everyone hates me" Naruto asked/stated. "Because I was forced to attack to act against my will when I was forcefully removed from my last container Kushina Uzumaki, your mother, and attack this pathetic village like the last time with the first hokage," said the fox growling as he remembered a certain uchiha.
Naruto seemed to think about it sighing "What else do I have to lose?" as he walked up to the seal and was about to tear off a part of the seal when he was suddenly kicked sending him flying back several meters.
"I didn't sacrifice myself just for you to ruin my plans," said a voice of an older man who sneered standing in front of the seal. "You truly are as bad as I thought Minato Namikaze only if that fool of Kushina listened to me when I tried to warn her," said the fox with destain he had always sensed something off with Minato and tried to warn Kushina but she didn't listen to him stupid love-struck girl. "So are you going to let your son die" the fox asked.
"he'll survive," said Minato Namikaze the Fourth Hokage, the man who finished off an army "This experience will only harden him further to make him a powerful weapon for Konoha, and with your help"
"you're truly a heartless monster," said the fox "only if Kushina knew what kind of person she married."
"deception is the best shinobi weapon," said Minato grinned "I decided she into fall for me securing the secrets the Uzumaki clan had so Konoha would be the most powerful village and be able to conquer the whole elemental nations,"
"you truly are a vile and corrupted man," said a distorted voice, both Minato and the fox moved their heads in search of the source of the voice. The whole place became dark when in the middle of the room appeared a male with white hair falling to his back, and crimson red eyes wearing a black suit with purple and gold lines.
"Who are you" asked the older blonde sweat falling from his forehead as he was in a battle stance. "That's none of your concern mortal, what matters is that I'm here for your pathetic soul" saying that smirking Minato said. "Sorry to tell you miss but my soul is property of the shinigami"
But the man looked unbothered "It's sad that you don't recognize the owner of your soul then again I'm in my human disguise" said the man as Minato's face turned into a grimace of horror and despair. But before he could do anything he was pierced by a black sword "I already have a special place for you." said the man as he transformed into a translucent, demonic-looking creature larger than a man with long shaggy white hair and purple skin two red horns, a large white kimono a set of prayer beads a tanto on his mouth.
"Now that this is done let's get to the important things." said the shinigami as he touched the seal.
outside
The dog looked at Naruto and the mystery girl the Hokage was with him now as Hawk reported he was denied entry for Naruto and how he threatened some of the doctors only to decide it was better to take him to the anbu part of the hospital which only made both anbu and Kage angry. He then revealed that even with the anbu doctors he had multiple lacerations, broken bones torn muscles his right eye was destroyed and part of his heart had collapsed.
"Get me inoichi I want to know why Naruto Kun was outside alone when he was supposed to be in the orphanage until he was in the academy and how his mental state," said Hiruzen Sarutobi's regret clearly in his voice as he remembered life he had lived until.
When they felt a pulse of chakra coming from the young blonde, everyone turned to see how the jinchuriki body began to heal from all the wounds his attackers caused him. " how ironic your 'curse' is saving you" said Hiruzen sadly as he reflected on the many mistakes he made while raising naruto and mentally curse. The moment he knew of Naruto's status as a jinchuriki should be kept a secret from the public only for someone to leak the information condemning Naruto to be an outcast the best he could do was make a law prohibiting anyone from talking about it to their kids in hopes he could make friends with the new generation but it didn't work.
Two hours later the chakra started to reside as a man with long dirty-blonde hair in a high ponytail and pale blue pupilless eyes wearing a Konoha forehead protector on his forehead, a jonin vest with a heavy green long-sleeved shirt, and loose red cloth layered over his vest entered the room as he looked at the condition of the blonde with shock.
"Ah inoichi good you are here and you understand what you must do," Hiruzen said seriously.
"Hai Hokage-Sama I'll be going to check young Naruto's life to check his mental state and answers about why he was outside." said inoichi professionally. "you can begin," said Hiruzen as he nodded.
Naruto mindscape
As Naruto was getting up, he looked around to see he was in front of the cage and a figure he hadn't seen before.
"Ah you're awake that's good," said the figure. "Umm not to be rude but who are you? And what happened to my 'father'" asked Naruto, the last part with venom as could hear most of the conversation between the fourth and the fox.
"For your first question I'm the death god, shinigami," said the man surprising the blond, "As for your second question he's already in my stomach where he'll be punished for eternity," said the shinigami as he looked at Naruto who only nodded slowly as he was processing it.
"Now on to the main reason why I came here," said the shinigami catching Naruto and the fox by surprise. "What is your main reason" said the fox on edge. "I'm here to offer young Naruto a deal," said the shinigami as he sat on a thrown made of darkness this shocked Naruto and the fox. "I've had an eye out for you ever since your 'father' summoned me. And I've got to say you've impressed me and with this close death call I wanted to make you my agent on earth." he finished shocking them even more "And if you accept I'll help you awaken a bloodline to help you in your quest."
"bloodline what kind of bloodline and how can you awaken it, " Naruto asked his interest picked. "I'm a god that can create anything if I want to, you should be even grateful you are the first and only one I've come with this to, as for what kind of bloodline," Shinigami said as he smirked seeing Naruto flinch. "it's one fit for a hunter with multiple moving parts. Firstly dark creation will allow you to create anything through darkness and shadows like weapons, attack jutsu, defensive jutsu, and tracking, the weapons will not wear out or lose their edge the only limit is your imagination."
"A second part is your only eye will get the Jōgan (analytical eye) - it'll allow you to see in the dark, the tenketsu in a human body, sense emotions that'll be shown to you in a spectrum, and since the living essence. Aside from those you'll get a chakra mode and another surprise the last part is an enhancer I'm taking what Kurama would have given you with his chakra cloak it'll be a combination and the ability of flight." Finished the shinigami much to the shock of both tailed beast and boy.
"What would be the conditions for being your agent," asked the blonde boy. "So you can think after all the conditions are simple to keep the balance of the world I can feel someone causing a shift in the balance of the universe something that will affect me and my brother's jobs. You will also be in charge of sending me corrupt and evil souls," said the shinigami. "I thought you'd like having more souls to collect." asked the blonde.
"No, if too many souls enter the underworld since I can't control the destiny of so many souls it could lead to the human race's disappearance by the time we act it'll be too late and I wouldn't be able to collect any more souls ." said the shinigami "So what are your thoughts," shinigami asked looking at the young blonde. "While the skills are tempting and the condition is reasonable what's the catch?" asked Naruto.
"Very clever of you naruto, yes there's a price for me to awaken this bloodline I'll have to turn you into a hanyou (half-demon)" said Shinigami looking at Naruto calculatingly. "So you are going to turn me into what the villagers accuse me of" asked a frightened Naruto scared he would be even more hated than he already was and more mobs would chase him.
"I don't think it would make a difference, the villagers already see you as a demon due to their ignorance only thing is you'll have the skills to protect yourself better," said the shinigami shrugging. "skills," asked the blonde. "your base strength, speed, agility, and stamina would increase along with your sense, better genetics and a more durable body, as well as a healing factor, add that to Kurama's healing factor making any would heal in record time, I would also return what the bastard stole from you Kurama while sadly both of you will still need to remain together," said shinigami as Kurama grumbled saying a stupid thing but at least he wasn't a dumbass well completely earning a hey from an indigent naruto. Only for a few minutes later.
"What kind of physical changes would I go under if I were to accept" asked Naruto catching both the shinigami and Kurama by a bit of surprise. "not many, aside from more defined muscles but when angry some features may become more prominent like elongated canines, sharp claws like fingers and your whisker marks becoming more prominent." said the shinigami looking at naruto.
After five minutes of thinking it over "I-I accept the deal" said Naruto Shinigami grinned and nodded "I'm not going to lie your body will be in immense pain when you wake up I can't do anything about your eye but someone else can just think about the offer and don't deny it too quickly as it can be a great opportunity for you to meet people that can help you" said the shinigami as he looked at Kurama who remained quiet as he seemed to know what the shinigami referred to as he nodded ever so slightly.
Real-world
It's been a few hours and the mystery girl had awoken and given a report of what she saw the Hokage nodded and thanked her. Everyone then turned to Inoichi as he took his hand from narutos head and punched a wall in furry yelling "That BASTARD, HOW DARE THEY," everyone looked on in surprise at the sudden outburst of the Yamanaka clan head as he worked on regaining his control. "Inoichi what happened? Did you see anything notable" asked the third Hokage after a tense silence.
"Yes Hokage-sama a lot of things happened, firstly the matron kicked him out of the orphanage and while he was in the orphanage his life wasn't great everyone ignored him and the matron would allow civilians to randomly enter his room and beat him up, and would not teach him anything, the only times he ever got a positive attention was when you visited him." said inoichi in a grave tone. This enraged the Hokage when Dog stepped up "Yes Kakashi" asked Hiruzen as he looked at Dog. "I suggest we give him an apartment this way we could get rid of the orphanage and about Naruto why not use the Uchiha's eye that attacked him," said Kakashi as he bowed knowing this might be his only chance.
" I agree we can give him the Sharingan as a form of repayment for what our clan has done to him" Everyone turned to see the girl as she had a Sharingan activated tear stains. "Are you sure about this even if you are from the clan wouldn't you need permission from the clan head?" asked the Hokage the last thing they needed was more separation between the Uchiha and the village "No, Lady Mikoto has always had a soft spot for naruto and after what that bastard did I think it'll be good for naruto-kun to have it," said the Uchiha girl as everyone thought about it for a moment. "I'll leave this decision up to Naruto if he wants to take this chance." While he was talking only two people turned to see Naruto who started to glow a crest appearing on his hand as tribal tattoos appeared on his arm only to disappear.
While Naruto was regaining consciousness he could feel every part of his body being picked by millions of needles as he noticed the Hokage two other people and a pretty girl. As he tried to sit up with the pain he felt only the dog-masked anbu to stop him shaking his head. As Naruto tried to touch his bandaged eye "Ji-ji" he asked in what seemed to be a whisper. "don't talk Naruto your throat was damaged in the attack" said Hiruzen getting a little nod from Naruto. "But now that you are awake I would like to ask you to think about something you have lost one of your eyes you can't become a shinobi but two people have suggested doing an eye transplant with one of these," said Hiruzen as he pulled out a Sharingan "This is your choice but we think this will help you out," said Hiruzen as Kurama listened to him and thinking of what has happened
"Go ahead this is probably the best for everyone, this gives an excuse to train, and seeing the girl she is hoping it would be a bad idea to let her down I also know you and know you won't abuse it and if you do I'll make sure to rip you apart," said Kurama growling at the end as naruto sighed nodding "ok jiji let's do it but I don't want to go back to the orphanage," Naruto said still in a weak voice. "Don't worry I've learned what happened to you and I will make it right Inoichi please follow me dog stay to guard them, " Inoichi nodded as he followed.
Once they were gone Dog removed his mask and looked at Naruto revealing his Sharingan "Naruto-kun, first of all, I'll be starting to train you when I have time off I'll be teaching you everything you'll need to survive. Secondly, what were the lines that appeared could they be a bloodline" asked Kakashi looking at Naruto. "i-i don't know, and why would you train me" asked Naruto tense no one did something nice to him. "It's because I knew your mother Kushina Uzumaki she was like a big sister to me and a student of my father when she came to Konoha the reason why I'm telling you this is because I feel like I've failed in being a big brother something I'm going to have to fix," Kakashi said with determination as the girl looked on a bit embarrassed as she looked at naruto the image of him with tattoos burning on her mind.
