The Awakening

Naruto was a boy, who wanted so much in the world, and was given so little because of the burden he had with the Kyuubi inside of him. All he wanted was to get stronger, to show everyone he wasn't a monster, and that there was a difference between a jail of a demon with that of the demon itself.

Now because of Jiraiya's attempts of him tapping into the Kyuubi's chakra in an attempt to summon the Toads, Naruto was certainly now going to die after being pushed off into this ravine, and trying to save his ass using the demon's power. Unfortunately, Naruto was too afraid right now to even do such a thing, and with so little of his own chakra being used up he had found there to be little chance of summoning a tadpole like last time.

'I have to do something or else I'm flesh paste!' thought Naruto, as he reached out for the jagged edge of the cliff side with his right arm using what little chakra he had left to stick to it.

Unfortunately, all things with jagged edges tend to shred other things that try to cling to them, and this was no exception with Naruto's arm practically being mauled by the wall, and the young boy could only scream out in pain while trying to survive this immense fall that would lead to his death. While he did this, Naruto was hit with images of the past, and how the people of Konoha treated him because of his burden.

Could this be the end for him?

How would the old man explain his death?

Would anyone even miss him?

It was at that thought that the image of Hinata flashed into Naruto's mind and it was then that realization of why she was always blushing hit him like a ton of bricks.

Unfortunately, it was at that time the ground hit him too, and landed him in a big crater that held his body imprinted from the fall knocking Naruto right into the depths of his mind.

(Naruto's Mindscape)

"You've finally arrived here. I was beginning to wonder when you would," said a smooth deep voice that could make even the strongest of warrior's blood run cold with fear.

"Who are you? Where am I?" said Naruto, as he stood up in this dank sewer filled with leaky pipes, and a cage with the word "Seal" written on a piece of paper in the middle that kept the doors shut.

"Were in your mind my vessel. Not very impressive since the way you have been treated by these miserable flesh rats has made your mind most unpleasant a place," said a deep demonic voice from beyond the cage, and in that instant red chakra flared to reveal the giant Nine Tailed Fox known to all as...Kyuubi!

"And now we are here together, which is perfect since the fox is the final piece to this puzzle, and the means for you to live Naruto," said the figure with silver hair, wearing a blue trench coat, and was wearing black from his shirt down to his boots.

"You didn't answer my question. Who are you?" said Naruto, as he knew about the fox, as it didn't take a genius to figure it out, but the guy in front of him with the same blue eyes as him he couldn't figure out, and as far as Naruto knew...he only had one guest sealed inside of him.

"I am Sparda no Vergil. I am your ancestor that lived nearly one millennia ago before the Elemental Countries even existed," said Vergil before looking at Kyuubi, who was now growling at him, and flaring his crimson chakra even more.

"I knew I recognized you! You are one of the Twin Sons of Sparda: The Legendary Demon Knight!" said Kyuubi snarling at Vergil and the form of the said man turned to stare at the fox without fear.

"Yes I am. As I said before, Naruto is my descendant, and has the power to awaken his demonic blood again that has long been dormant after being watered down by human blood over the years," said Vergil, as he saw Kyuubi look at him, and then at Naruto in what looked like fear.

"As if the Yondaime sealing me up in his own kid is bad enough, but to find out it was inside the actual descendant of Sparda is even worse!" said Kyuubi, as he saw Naruto look at him in shock, and the fox realized that his vessel didn't know about his heritage.

"My Father was...the Yondaime?" said Naruto, as he saw Kyuubi nod, and Vergil as well to further confirm it.

"He was the only one at the time to have the strongest blood of our family after so many years and I believe he could have even awakened it had a certain fox not attacked," said Vergil, as he saw Kyuubi growl at him, and then looked at a still shocked Naruto.

"It wasn't like I just woke up one morning to destroy this village of arrogant fools. I was summoned to this world by Uchiha Madara by using his cursed eyes to have me attack the Leaf," said Kyuubi, who had no love for the Uchiha Clan, and wished the man that summoned him along with the entire clan to die painful deaths.

"Still, that would explain why you did it, and not entire your fault. Not that it matters now since I'm about to die," said Naruto, as he looked depressed, and saw Kyuubi's eyes widen in shock.

"What?!" said Kyuubi, as he had no intention of dying, and having his soul taken to the Shinigami.

"That stupid jerk Jiraiya pushed me off the ravine cliff side to activate your power so I could summon a large Toad. I couldn't do it because I was so afraid and I tried to grip the wall edge. It slowed me down, but it messed up my arm rally bad before I hit the ground, and now I'm most likely going to die without anyone even caring that I'm going to kick the big one," said Naruto, as he kicked some of the water on the ground, and had an angry look on his face.

"Under normal circumstances you would most likely die, but we can offer you a chance to change all that, and transform you into something incredible," said Vergil, as he now walked towards Naruto, and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"What do you have in mind?" said Naruto, as he looked at Vergil, and saw the man smirk back at him.

"Kyuubi is going to jump start the dormant devil blood in your veins. You would have fully awakened it on the bridge back at Wave Country had you finished your initial intent of killing Haku, but you stopped right before you could deliver the finishing blow, and resulted in your devil staying dormant," said Vergil and saw Naruto looking away from him for a few seconds.

"I couldn't kill her. Haku wasn't a bad person and she deserved to be shown mercy," said Naruto, as he had no regrets in sparing Haku from that killing blow, and just wished the girl was alive to live in the village happily.

"And we respect that. When Kyuubi gives you his soul, you will be empowered with the devil blood of your family, and all of my knowledge in terms of fighting. In truth, you will become me, and you will be...unstoppable," said Vergil, as he saw Naruto's eyes widen at the thought, and the chance to show everyone just what he could do.

"There is just one problem with your plan Son of Sparda. What makes you think I will give my soul to one of your blood?" said Kyuubi, as he was not about to help someone who was descended from the traitorous demon's bloodline.

"You either do this or your vessel dies from his injuries from the fall and you can have a one on one meeting with the Shinigami right before he devours you into his stomach," said Vergil, as he saw Kyuubi growl at that, and scanned the boy's body for the injuries that covered Naruto's form.

"What you say is true. It seems I have no choice, but to give into your idea, and give you my soul along with all my power. At the very least, can you promise me one thing, and one thing only?" said Kyuubi, as the fox sounded depressed, and looked at both individuals with his burning crimson eyes.

"What is the promise?" said Vergil, as he saw the Kyuubi close it's eyes, and then open them again before letting out a sigh.

"That you kill all the Uchiha Clan members. They are a clan that should not live in this world," said Kyuubi, as he knew that at least through Naruto he could get some measure of revenge, and through a Namikaze that is descended from Sparda himself.

"Done!" said Vergil, as Naruto looked like he wanted to protest, but stopped when the taller man put a hand on his shoulder, and shook his head to tell Naruto to not protest this decision.

"He's my friend Vergil-san. How can I kill a friend?" said Naruto since the Uchiha was kind of like a brother to him and he thought of Sasuke as such that would push him to the brink when it came to training.

"Naruto, I understand your reluctance, but your so called friend will destroy you without hesitation, and betray you for power," said Vergil, as he saw Naruto look away in denial, and was surprised when the Kyuubi decided to speak.

"The Son of Sparda is right kit. The Uchiha Clan is well known for only two things that they are quite proud of. Betraying others and copying the skills of those they betray. Trust me when I tell you that the Uchiha is not worthy of being your friend and he will betray you as all Uchiha do," said Kyuubi, as he saw Naruto look at him, and then back a Vergil before nodding.

"I understand," said Naruto, as he let out a sigh, and readied himself for what needed to be done.

"Good. Now brace yourself Naruto, as this will painful, and will blow your mind away," said Vergil, as he turned to Kyuubi, and the demon let out a mighty roar before beginning the process of giving everything he had to the two to make the fusion complete.

Naruto was going to be in for one wild ride.

(Hokage Tower-At the Moment)

"YOU DID WHAT?!" yelled the Hokage, as he had moved so fast you wouldn't think it was possible for an old man to do that, and had Jiraiya pinned to the wall while squeezing the life out of his student while tears fell from his eyes.

"I tried to get him to use the Kyuubi's chakra by pushing him off a cliff," said Jiraiya, as he tried to break the hold, and was then slammed back against the wall hard.

"What could have possessed you do it in that way? It's bad enough the boy is hated by these stupid people, but for you to do that to your students own son, and your Godson no less is inexcusable!" said Hiruzen, as he threw Jiraiya away from him before stepping back until he reached his desk now fully crying.

"I'm sorry! All right! I fully expect him to tap into the fox's power and summon a large enough Toad to save him. Why hasn't his training progressed like it was supposed too?" said Jiraiya, as he had hoped the old man would make Naruto strong enough to be able to summon Kyuubi's power at will.

"The Councils didn't want the boy to become powerful because of the Kyuubi and with Danzo pushing the boy to be a weapon of the village I ha to make a choice on which side to support. I had hope Kakashi would be able to help Naruto with training when I setup the teams, but the man only trains the Uchiha because of what happened years ago, and has only taught Naruto tree walking chakra control. Had you been a proper Godfather, the boy wouldn't be so crippled by the Councils decisions, and I could have done more for him," said the Hokage, as he let out more tears then he had ever before in his entire life, and felt the guilt of the past 12 years of not protecting Naruto properly eating away him.

That was when the two felt it.

The feeling demonic bloodlust on such a level it made them fall to their knees in fear.

In fact, everyone in Konoha did, and everyone had frozen in fear at the demonic power of the crimson purple energy that rose high into the air. It formed into a demonic creature of epic proportions with demonic wings before it let out a mighty roar that shook the ground around Konoha.

And then just as it came it immediately left.

'What was that? It was like the Kyuubi 12 years ago only...only worse!' thought the old Hokage, as he now struggled to his feet, and Jiraiya was doing the same.

"Sensei I..." said Jiraiya, but was silenced by a hand from the Hokage, and the old man looked at him now with cold hard eyes that held no love for the Toad Sannin.

"Don't! Don't even try to apologize Jiraiya. I will announce Naruto's death after the Chuunin Exams are over and I want you to know I will hold you responsible for this when I reveal the boy's heritage to the village. That you killed the Yondaime's son and it was you that neglected your duties to him for the sake of your research!" said Hiruzen, as he gave the hand signal to tell Jiraiya to get out of his office, and sat down in his chair before crying again at his failure.

After few minutes, the old Hokage summoned his ANBU to him, and told them to check out the ravine that Jiraiya took Naruto to in order to search for anything that could be connected to the demonic power felt by all. The ANBU obeyed and headed out though even they were silently afraid of whatever caused that demonic power to erupt.

(Weeks Later-The Day of the Chuunin Exam Finals)

It had finally come. The day of the Chuunin Exam Finals had come for everyone that had wanted to see the competitors fight for the glory of their village. Though for the Hokage, he watched the audience around him with a heavy heart, and wished to see only one of the competitors now among the line down in the arena floor.

Naruto.

The ANBU the Sandaime sent never came back, as they had gone missing for several days before another team was sent out to find them, and they were found only they weren't just dead like the old Hokage suspected.

They had been cut ruthlessly to pieces.

Jiraiya was now standing behind him with a serious look on his face that now masked his secret shame and knew that it wasn't going to be long before everyone heard of it. He knew that Naruto's life was going to be bad, as he had told Minato that from the start, but his stupid apprentice just wouldn't listen, and thought Naruto would be the symbol of hope for everyone.

All it did was make the boy a symbol of their hate.

It was during his time away from the old man after the confrontation with him over what he did to Naruto did Jiraiya realize how much of a failure he had become. How much he should have done for Naruto, but didn't do it, and now couldn't because the boy was most likely dead. Oh Jiraiya had heard from the second ANBU team about how the first one was obliterated from this world and the Sannin suspected it was possibly the fox's doing now that it was free with Naruto's last act in this world to bring vengeance against the arrogant people in this village.

It was practically poetic justice.

Jiraiya then turned to the Kazekage sitting in the chair next to his sensei and immediately sensed something was off about the man along with the bodyguards he carried. While the Exams would start soon, Jiraiya would keep his eyes on the Kazekage, and make sure this man was in fact who he was underneath his face cloth.

"Where's Naruto baka? And Sasuke-kun?" said Sakura, as she waited for her two teammates to arrive for the Exams, Who cares anyways I hope he dies in this fight. He only gets in the way of my Sasuke Kun. With Ino  appalled with her statement about her own teammate. As she moves to away from Sakura, while yelling at her because she said that.

"I don't know. Naruto was looking forward to this fight to avenge Hinata after what Neji did to her," said Ino, as she did think it was romantic that Naruto would do something like that for Hinata, and was slightly jealous of the Hyuuga girl because of it.

Why couldn't she get a guy like that?!

'Naruto-kun. Where are you?' thought Hinata, as she held her hands over her heart, and wondered where her crush was.

'This is not like Naruto-san to be late for something this tremendous. If anything...he should have been here early,' thought Shino, as he looked on waiting for his teammate's crush to arrive.

'Naruto, please forgive this old man, as I was too weak to do what was right, and show me mercy when I reach the afterlife,' thought Sarutobi, as he sighed when he came to the decision he had made with the intention of ending his life after revealing everything to everyone, and making his death a rather public event to destroy these people for what they had done to the poor boy.

With a wave of his hand, the Sandaime commanded the Jounin Proctor Genma to begin the Chuunin Exam Finals, and had to hold back the tears that wanted to escape him again.

"The first match of the Chuunin Exams will now begin. Will Hyuuga Neji and Uzumaki Naruto step forward while the other competitors go the fighters box to wait until it is your turn," said Genma, as he heard the crowd cheer, and the Jounin wondered if it was for the obvious reason that Naruto wasn't here.

'Coward. He says he'll make me pay, but in the end he's nothing, and will be nothing just like you Hinata-sama!' thought Neji smirking at the empty space that was supposed to be where his opponent was supposed to stand and it increased when he came to the belief Naruto wasn't going to show up at all.
