IHateHeroes
What if it was Naruto who left the village?
What if the hand that reached out to him in his darkest hour... was hers?
After Pain's attack, Naruto returns to a village that no longer sees him as a hero-but as a threat. Silenced by the Elders, betrayed by comrades, and isolated from his purpose, he stands on the edge of breaking.
Then comes Orochimaru-reborn, female, cunning, and strangely sincere.
She doesn't come to steal him. She comes to free him.
Drawn into the shadows, Naruto begins a journey into forbidden jutsu, lost Uzumaki knowledge, and the ancient power of the Pale Coil. As his bond with Orochimaru deepens into something dark and romantic, he carves a new path-one that threatens every hidden village, every bloodline, and every prophecy.
No longer the boy chasing Hokage dreams, he becomes something else:
A leader to the lost.
A nightmare to the corrupt.
A symbol of revolution.
This is the story of the Spiral King.
This is the tale of Naruto... the one who chose the serpent.
