Colors of Life and Death

Colors of Life and Death

Rating: R (15+) for gore and language

Summary: Starting with a kidnapping by Orochimaru, Naruto's life will change the way people see chakra forever...

Spoiler warning: Up to chapter 232 in the manga or episode 134 of the anime. After that it goes a bit AU, but in a good way. :)

This spawned from one of my rather disturbing dreams (Weird dreams are a constant for me. And for some reason, some of them are frighteningly detailed.). I am warning you right now: This fic will contain some extremely gory stuff. If you can't handle that then don't read. However, always remember, no matter what happens in this fic, that I LOVE happy endings.

There will be NaruHina and SakuLee stuff later.

The chapters will vary widely in length. So if a chapter is shorter than you would've liked then please have patience. I have a 4 year-old daughter and a husband, not to mention I run 4 websites, am making a new AMV and I am working on making a radio play of this fic.

Also please note: I am notorious for getting major writers block and leaving people hanging for weeks at a time, so I would strongly suggest you post in the fic update mailing list thread, here. Otherwise you'll get very frustrated at having to check to see if I've updated only to find out I haven't.
