"Alright, lets finish this once and for all!" the dark figure growled as he stood overlooking the Hidden Village of Sound. A voice not of mortal man, even one such as him, one demonic in quality of a sort not encountered by any but a few in this world of ninja, one that even demons shuddered in fear of meeting, even in a chance encounter.
Dark and bloodstained armor, an arm twisted into a massive clawed and grotesque appendage, and an aura of malice and destruction. A blade of proportions far greater than he should be able to even lift rather than wield with any proficiency was in an easy grip in his free hand.
An unblinking and yet somehow living eye stared into the abyss from the blade, and evil eye that sent chills through all that saw it.
This creature, this being, this monster, this...Nightmare leaped from his perch, using the blade for an instant to slow his fall while leaving a deep gash in the solid stone of the bluff.
"Souls give me strength!" he roared as the cursed blade cleaved the gates of the village and the guard nins to pieces in a mere instant as memories arose within him.

He'd made it back, the city in ruins, a scattering of Sound corpses mixed among the Leaf and Sand nins that had fallen. The place was in ruins with nothing left.
He'd returned after Jiraiya had fallen, crippled defending him from the Akatsuki, he'd hopes that Tsunade could help, but the toad sennin had died while his last apprentice had vainly searched for something, anything, that could help amidst the rubble.
In the end he'd found a sealed chamber, hidden by the collapsed tower that had contained a scroll, a scroll detailing a legend about a sealed sword that was unstoppable.
Deeper within the vault he'd found the weapon itself. The corrupted legend, the Soul Edge, and when he grasped it, the power and spirit of the blade flowed into him.
Within another battle took place as his seal interlinked with the weapon, and the being known as Inferno devoured the demon within him, destroying the greatest beast in recent memory to become greater still while bonding to the hosts mind, changing them both into a new creature that would be considered an abomination to both human and demon, yet greater than both.
His quest had sent him far and wide, growing more powerful as he hunted the akatsuki with the soul devouring blade, absorbing the power of the tailed beasts as he went, desiring their power to gain his revenge upon the world, the souls of the monsters making him stronger than ever at the cost of most of the remains of his sanity.
xXx
Sound nin swarmed at the intruding juggernaut that tore through them with a slow walk while casually slaying them without a sound made other than the occasional grunt.
"Orochimaru," the hulking monstrocity roared amidst the cooling and eviscerated corpses of hundreds of ninja, "Fight me! Let me feast upon your soul!"
He drove the blade into the ground with a scream of anger that unleashed an explosion, devistating the village itself in a dome of dark energy.
xXx
"Nice sword," Kisame grunted as he backed away from the lunatic with a living sword while readying his own to attempt to drain the chakra from the former jinchuri, "Mine drains Chakra!"
A backhanded blow from Nightmare bisescted Itachi as the armored form charged and shattered Samehada, "Mine devours souls!"
And thus ended the Akatsuki...
xXx
"You will pay for what you have done!" Naruto/Nightmare raged as he spotted the three he desired to slay, "You will all die!"
"Alright, Let's settle this once and for all!"
xXx
AN: This is the first chunk of a one shot I'm working on. Naruto is the new nightmare
