Chapter 1: Intro
Voice: You know, I've heard that things can be categorized into two different places, black, and white, Light and Dark, good and evil, right and wrong... But who decides whats really good and whats really evil? Certainly not an ordinary mortal being like us...

A shadowy figure rushes passed a camera, using simple stealth to evade detection, dodging all the detection beams easily with a few quick jumps and flips. The shadow then pulls a strange blade from a holster on his right thigh, quickly picking the lock on the door of a dark roof top and pushing it open. He re-holsters the knife and walks into the darkened hallway his eye's scan the area and he sees the camera's down the hall, bringing a frown to his face. The person then jumps down and places his feet on the sides of the floor, then throws several throwing stars severing the cords connecting the cameras to their power source. The person couldn't help but chuckle lightly to himself as he then tip-toed down the hall, keeping close to the sides to avoid the pressure sensors, thankful he had... "Liberated"... The blueprints for this place a week prior and found most of the floor's "Surprises"...

From the mind of 26 Lord Pain and Master XIII...

Voice: Good, Evil... Really... Whats the difference? Is it right to hurt others for the greater good? Is it wrong to help another by stealing from those better off? Or, just maybe, have we all fallen off the true topic, is it Good and Evil anymore? Is it good to betray another, just because their doing the thing they feel is right? No... It's not... But still we think it is...

The figure slowly looked around the corner of the hall, thankful that the occupants of the building had left for the night. The person silently looked to the next hallway and frowned seeing a... A droid... Of some kind sitting in the hall looking around for intruders, the person frowned and then looked above him and smirked, 'Perfect...' He thought to himself with a smirk and jumped up grabbing hold of the grate and then slowly he placed his feet on the wall next to him and stuck to it, quickly pulling out his knife he began to unscrew the grate and then pushed it inward and entered into the air ducts of the building with ease. 'What kind of idiot makes these things big enough for a human to crawl through?' He questioned himself with a shake of his head as he passed the droid's location and made his way into the darkness of the Air vent.

The world was once something he treasured, but now never again...

Voice: The "Line" between what is Good and Evil has not just been blurred, it's expanded. The once simple border has been obscured so much that it has created an almost endless shade of Gray between the two. While one person may believe he is doing the right thing, others won't, but then again others also WILL... and yet that is why people like me exist... I believe in something no one else does...
- (X
The figure found what he was looking for and silently pushed open the air vents hatch, coming out and once more placing his feet onto the wall he re-secured this vent and then walked on the wall towards the computer in the room. It was encrypted, but it was also something he would enjoy cracking, it was a challenge to his new intellect. Popping his knuckles, the person started to type on the keyboard, bringing up parts of the system, tearing down others with amazing skill and ease. He remembered when his teacher had taught him about such machines and inwardly remembered to thank that man when and IF they ever met again.
- (X
Their betrayal left him empty, his heart shattered he became a new man...
-(X
Voice: I believe in the edge, the combination of Good and Evil, being neither, but also being both. Why? Because... I've played the hero... And I got hurt... And being a Villain... Not my style. So, I decided, why should I give up everything? Just so some bastards can take it away... Why should "I" lose everything I've ever gained? Just so it can be destroyed in an instant...

The person grinned as he put the buildings security systems into a thirty minute shutdown. More than enough time for him to do what he needed and get exactly what he had come for... He walked silently out of the room, still cautious and then walked down the hall, to a pair of sliding double doors. He frowned and then pulled out something. A brush with some green dust, he patted the brush into the dust and started to gently stroke it over the keypad beside the door, smirking as he saw fingerprints. He then punched in one try, frowning as it was incorrect, then tried another combination and frowned once more as it still wasn't right. He bit his lip then took a deep breath before concentrating about what he knew about this place and grinned as he figured it out punching in the code as the door then slid open... The date of this buildings construction...
- (X
He would forget her, her betrayal, and become someone great, his power unstoppable...
-(X
Voice: So as you can guess, I don't like to play the Hero anymore, I've only got one thing in mind from now on... What I should have done a long time ago, what I WILL do... I'm looking out for only one person now... Me... Number 1... No matter how lonely, it will be better than being betrayed again...
- (X
The person walked into the room and smirked widely as he looked around at the devices in glass cases and the weapons long forgotten, gathering dust. He walked over to one that was in pieces and scooped them all into a small bag he carried on his waist, then closed the bag tightly and placed it back before shrugging the back pack he wore from his shoulders and grabbing a few, less noticeable items from their own places. He stowed them into his back pack and then made his way over to a large door and smirked. He saw another keypad, and like before, dusted it only to frown, no fingerprints, but the keypad DID have some slight grooves from where it had been used before. The person nodded to himself and looked at the numbers, it was tougher than the last one and he had to concentrate on it fully before attempting to put in the right code...
-(X
But, sometimes, even the best laid plans of mice and men are all for naught...
-(X
The person grinned as he punched in a code and the door swung open with a hiss revealing the contents within that made his lips curl, seeing what he came for lying before him. He walked forward and looked the item over with a critical eye, not exactly sure what he should think of it really. 'Could use a few alterations... Maybe make it a little less plain... Lose the damn stupid cape... Some more padding would also be nice... But it's a start...' He thought to himself with a nod and then took the item and put it into his back pack also, halting only to look into a pair of reflective white eyes... "So what do ya' say... Ready to show those kids how its really done?" He asked the skull like mask and then placed a hand over the right eye, tracing a red mark and smirking, his strange eye's nearly glowing in the dark as the whisker like marks became clear on his skin... "Red-X?"
The teen briefly looked over the mask and smirked to himself, it reminded him of the days before, back in the days he would play Ninja with a fake AnBu mask for some reason... "Eh, no time to reminisce, nows the time to leave before the kids get home." The teen then said to himself and turned and went back the way he came, leaving the building just as he came... not even a single trace of his presence left behind...

Voice: They say it's easy to see the line between Good and Evil... They say it should be perfectly clear... The problem isn't in the line, it's in the person looking at it. How do two people perceive Good and Evil... In the same way? No... They see what they believe... As such, there is no Good, nor Evil in the world... Only an endless shade of gray... Like me... My name is Uzumaki Naruto... Former Ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village... And the New Red-X...
