8 years ago...
A loud battle was taking place. It was at the gates of the great ninja village Konoha. The hidden leaf. It was a time of temporary peace, amongst an age full of blood and hatred, that threatened to spill out into war at almost any given time.
But this time, it was no war taking place. It was something far worse.
Deep inside the Konoha mountain, where the faces of the village leaders had their faces carved in, an alarm went off deep inside.
"Alpha, check the viewing globe" An angelic voice said. The voice, and the alarm came from a communication center inside the mountain, a droid, with a circular head, and a dark red color scheme, with a glowing yellow thunderbolt on it's chest, turned to a large circular device, for viewing.
"Aye aye aye aye aye. Lady Dimitria, this is horrible I've never seen anything like it" Alpha said. Dimitria sighed. Her veiled face became viewable through a large tube in the center of the communication center.
"I'm afraid that is something we did not anticipate. We should have, considering that it is a powerful part of our enemy. The nine tailed fox demon, or Kyuubi. But the Kyuubi isn't supposed to be an evil entity. Somebody is controlling it to attack Konoha. Our only hope right now, is if it can be stopped before it can decimate anything further" Dimitria said. Alpha looked like it was panicking.
"Relax Alpha. I see that our old friend has arrived on the scene" Dimitria said. Alpha nodded, but still panicked. The droid was very concerned for what was going on.
"Aye aye aye aye aye. What is Minato thinking? He's supposed to be the Hokage. The village leader, and yet he's carrying an infant child with him to the battle. I can't even contact him" Alpha said, switching a few switches.
"That is because he has taken off the communicator we gave him Alpha. As for the child, I am not fully aware of what's going on myself" Dimitria said. Suddenly, a old male voice patched through to the communication's center.
"Come in Dimitria. Do you read me?" The voice said. While nobody could really see it, Dimitria smiled, and proceeded to answer.
"This is Dimitria. Who may I ask, is using Minato's communication device?" Dimitria asked. There was screams heard everywhere in the background.
"This is Hiruzen Sarutobi. The third Hokage of Konoha. I have just been sworn in Minato's place, as he plans to do a powerful jutsu, that will require his life for it to be pulled off, in order to seal the Kyuubi away, into an infant child" Hiruzen said. Alpha looked at Dimitria, who nodded.
"Thank you for contacting us. I'm afraid there isn't much we can do for you at this current moment, as we lack the resources ourselves to fight against the Kyuubi. I'm sure Minato has told you all about what me and Alpha ten are" Dimitria said. A bright flash of light was seen on the viewing globe. When the flash disappeared, the Kyuubi was gone.
"He has. I must say, it would have been good to have you fight along side with us, but yes, I do understand you don't have the resources. However, Minato didn't have the time to tell you this, which is why I'm contacting you now. The Kyuubi has been sealed inside an infant child. Minato's son, Naruto, to be exact. Unfortunately, despite Minato's last wish, I don't think Naruto will be viewed as a hero. I do ask that you help me watch over him, whenever his life is in serious danger. I'll do the best I can to stop it, but even then, I'm not sure it will be enough" Hiruzen said. Dimitria sighed, knowing that the old Hokage was right.
"Hiruzen-san. I ask you to talk to me face to face at your first possible convenience. There is much to discuss. To teleport to the command center, pressed the red button. You will be teleported here immediately" Dimitria said. As she said that, the state of emergency alarm shut off, as things were back to normal.
About ten hours later, Hiruzen appeared inside the command center. He wore the traditional white coat with red flames on it, with the Kanji for Hokage on the back. He also wore the traditional Hokage hat. Indeed, the man was very old. In his seventies, no doubt. He also had the baby Naruto with him.
"Welcome Hiruzen-san. Thank you for coming here. You have indeed been a great help by telling us what the situation is. We have reason to believe, that the Kyuubi was controlled to attack Konoha. By whom, we are not sure, but we have our guesses. But even then, a great evil is slowly starting to awaken. An evil, after the great galactic war was finished with over 2000 years ago, had risen up. In the form of siblings, known as Rika Repulsiva, and Xavier Z Venom. Son and daughter of two former enemies, Lord Zedd, and Rita Repulsa. Despite a power wave of good that destroyed the evil in our universe, evil still remained, as was the case with them. They plan to eventually take over the entire universe, and have succeeded in taking over other planets with life. But soon, I estimate about twelve years, they will come back to Earth" Dimitria said to Hiruzen. Hiruzen was confused at what Dimitria said.
"Lady Dimitria is correct. The siblings were once trying to take over the earth, about a thousand years ago. They, and their third, elder, and most powerful sibling. Zedd Von Asmodeaus. A creature so powerful, that even what we could use were virtually no match for him. However, until now, his name has been lost, and has been referred to, as the ten tailed super demon, or the Juubi"Alpha said. Hiruzen nodded, recalling the info about the juubi.
"But the Juubi was sealed a thousand years ago, by the sage of six paths. The sage who taught the world about chakra" Hiruzen said to Zordon and and Zordon nodded.
"He did indeed defeat him, by doing what any good power ranger should have done. Yes, he was once a warrior under my command. At the time, there was only six that could be used at a time, which is what had been like for thousands of generations. However, all his friends, and their zords were killed by Zedd Von Asmodeaus. But we were able to channel all their power into him. With his ranger power, and his knowledge in chakra access, he had finally ended the terror that was Asmodeaus. By sealing the chakra half inside of himself, and sealing the body someplace else. The Sage was even able to purify Asmodeaus's chakra. When he died, he separated the chakra into nine different creatures. They are the tailed demons, or the biju" Dimitria said to Hiruzen. Hiruzen was shocked at all of this vast information, but he never once doubted Dimitria's words.
"We have been waiting patiently for when something like this was to happen again. Slowly, we have built our resource energy up to include more power rangers. Our limit is now eight. We owe a lot to both the old sage, and Minato Namikaze, who with his seal knowledge, was able to help us when he discovered our base" Alpha said. Hiruzen nodded, understanding what he's been told thus far.
"We have little doubt that we will have to defend the planet again. When we do, we will, over time, select seven young ninjas to help us. We have already selected the first one. You're currently holding him" Dimitria said. Hiruzen was really surprised now. He looked at Dimitria strangely.
"Shouldn't you let Naruto have a say in the matter when he is old enough?" Hirzen demanded out of Dimitria. Dimitria merely looked at Hiruzen,with a look of confidence.
"We can already tell he would make a fine ranger. Although against his will, he already has the attributes of a ranger, and that is self sacrifice. I believe, that if me and Alpha can raise him properly, he will retain those attributes,and make a fine leader, inspite of all the negative attention that is sure to be headed his way" Dimitria said. Hiruzen nodded.
"I see your point. I also understand that they must keep their identities a secret. Very well. I shall leave him in your care. I'll put on a cover story, that one of my ANBU is going to raise Naruto, in a hidden location. That being said, I will have Naruto's god-brother, be that guardian. A former student of Minato. Kakashi Hatake" Hiruzen said. Dimitria nodded.
"Very well. We ask that you give him a teleportation watch as well. We know about his bad habits, but they will not be a problem with us, for when we call him, he will not have a choice but to come" Zordon said. Hiruzen smiled, liking what he heard. Alpha rolled out a crib, fully equipped. Hiruzen placed Naruto into the crib, and let him sleep.
"Before I go, Minato did give me this. Originally he was going to give it to Naruto's godfather, Jiraya. But he changed his mind, saying it would be more useful in your hands. I'm not exactly sure what's in there, but he said that when you scan this scroll, you'll know what to do" Hiruzen said. He gave Alpha a scroll, and teleported out. Alpha did a quick scan of the scroll, after putting Naruto into a separate room.
"Aye aye aye aye aye. This scroll contains part of the Kyuubi itself. The body to be exact. The Yin portion. Just like what the Sage of six paths did with Asmodeaus" Alpha said. Dimitria nodded.
"If that's the case, Minato was right about using this scroll. Give me the scroll alpha, and I will begin construction on a new zord. One of extreme power. One, that will be of great importance, in our battle against the evil alliance" Dimitria said. Alpha nodded in agreement.
8 years later...
Naruto certainly had grown under the care of Dimitria and Alpha 10. He was a powerful young man, who was versatile in a few (now considered ancient) forms of taijutsu, along with knowing a few ninjutsu. For an 8 year old, he was well built, and was extremely fast.
On top of that, the blond haired ranger-in-training had known about why, when he was in Konoha, about why he was hated by everyone. He had to fight a few people off from time to time, but it was only to the point of subdue, and only after he was attacked first.
Originally, he only wore orange, as that is what the shops would sell to him, in hopes for him being a target, but in the last year, he adopted a newer, albeit just as questionable ninja color. White. Still, he liked it. He wore white khakis, a white undershirt and a white button up T shirt.
One day, he was walking around Konoha. It was close to sunset. A rather peaceful day for him, and not a whole lot of people bothered him. He knew why, so he couldn't exactly smile. A great tragedy had happened. A powerful ninja clan had been wiped out, save for two brothers. The older one, committed the massacre, sparing only his younger brother. Naruto's sole friend aside from Alpha ten. Sasuke Uchiha.
Naruto would eventually find Sasuke down by the lake, looking glum. Naruto knew, and quite frankly, couldn't blame him for wanting to go after his older brother, Itachi, for doing what he did. And so, Naruto sat down beside Sasuke, who looked pretty much Catatonic.
"Hey" Naruto said softly. Sasuke sighed, looking down. He didn't want to be seen this way. Not by Naruto.
"Leave me alone please. I'm not in the mood to talk" Sasuke said, with a rude underline to his voice. But Naruto was not planning on going away.
"I know. No need to talk Sasuke. I know what happened. Can't say I know how you feel, but...I'll try to help in any way" Naruto said. It was then, that Sasuke clenched his fists, and began to grind his teeth.
"He'll pay for it. I swear. I'll avenge them all. I won't stop until Itachi is dead. You hear me Naruto. He will die. I will make sure that the Uchiha clan will not rest in peace, but return!" Sasuke suddenly said. Naruto placed his hand on his shoulder.
"So you want revenge eh? Well it's not a path I would follow. Still, he did the crime, and does need to be punished. But do not let it consume you. No matter how much you hate him, you can't allow that to rule you. If he left you alive to taunt you, then you will fall into his trap. I will help you, in any way I can" Naruto said. Sasuke sighed again, nodding.
"Thank you. You're right. He is taunting me. But I will not allow him to win his mind game. No. I will be more then just an avenger. I will be...a fighter., A ninja, holding honor as much as a ninja can hold. I will show, that other people who may have suffered through similar tragedies, can have hope that justice will prevail. That is why I'll fight" Sasuke said. Naruto warmly smiled. He then got up, extending his hand to Sasuke.
"I think I know exactly what you can use to help become stronger. Something I'm using. Of course, you can't tell anyone about this, and you also have to keep up the fact we hate each other...I don't exactly know what the village has against me, but I'm not going to let you get dragged into my problems. I know you want to help but...I can deal with it" Naruto said. Sasuke smiled, and nodded. Before Naruto did turn away, before any villager could see him, he turned around again.
"Meet me at the top of Hokage mountain tonight, in about four hours. There is something you might like to see" Naruto said, before he walked off. Sasuke never had the chance to ask what Naruto meant.
And true enough, when the night and stars were settled nicely in the sky, just exactly 4 hours after the sunset, Sasuke had finished his climb to the top of Hokage mountain, seeing Naruto there.
"Not an easy climb dude" Sasuke said. Naruto smirked, knowing full well it often wasn't.
"Well I'm glad you came. What I'm about to show you, is something you cannot tell a single soul. Something that is very much top secret. I only told you, because I believed you could join, not only to benefit you, but something on a far bigger picture then just Konoha alone" Naruto said. He grabbed Sasuke, and teleported away in a flash of white light.
When they stopped teleporting, they were in the command center. Nothing was on, but that quickly changed, as all the lights quickly came to life. Sauske was in awe of what he saw.
"What is this place?" Sasuke asked. Naruto smiled softly.
"This is my home Sasuke. It's a hidden location, where nobody knows where it is, save a few people. We are actually deep inside the Hokage mountain. In an area where non of the evacuation tunnels go to. M guardians live here. I'd like you to meet them. Alpha, and Dimitria" Naruto said. It was then, Dimitria appeared in the energy tube, and Alpha walked in. This surprised Sasuke even more.
"Greetings Sasuke. Naruto has told us much about you. I myself am very sad to hear about your sad news. However, we believe that you are indeed worthy of joining an elite group of warriors, that are well known and respected, through the entire universe. For many generations, they have helped defend the universe, with the last true threat ending one thousand years ago. However, evil is returning to earth, as it has been the one planet that could not be conquered" Dimitria said. Sasuke nodded, almost understanding what was being said.
"We always have our warriors as young adults, just before their lives truly get to them. In the world of ninja, you are starting just before all of that. Yes. I believe that Naruto's talk with you today helped you go down a better path you may have gone. I see that you are an individual who while has sought approval from others, also wishes to maintain peace. You aren't like other Uchihas I've seen. They all believed in force, and abuse of power. You don't. I see a potential noble warrior. What I'm about to offer is not something to take for granted. The power you will receive, should you accept, is of great responsibility" Dimitria said. Sasuke nodded. It was then, that Alpha had pulled up a couple of chairs for the boys to sit on.
"What I am offering, is the chance to become a power ranger. Like I said, you do have what it takes to be one. Should you accept this power, you will continue on as normal, but when the evil returns, and does indeed attack, you'll be needed. If you are on a high level mission, then likely you won't be pulled from it until you are able to help. Furthermore, it will be up to you and Naruto to assemble the rest of the team. Being that Naruto accepted a long time ago, and has been training for this his entire life, he will be the leader. That shouldn't matter, as all the rangers wind up treating each others, as equals" Dimitria said. Sasuke nodded again.
"But what responsibilities will I have?" Sasuke said. Dimitria smiled behind her veil.
"Your responsibilities include never abusing your power, only use it when being attacked, which will include every single power you will receive. You can only use your powers for good, for the moment you betray the power rangers directly, not by an outside source that may clone you, or what not, you will lose your powers, and the ability to use them ever. Another important responsibility, is never revealing who you are. There are those who will use this information against you, even in your own ninja ranks. I've seen it before" Dimitria said. Sasuke smiled. He then began to think over what was handed to him. It sounded great, and he knew that it would make him stronger, plus whatever he was to eventually go against would also help. His answer was obvious.
"I accept. I said to Naruto once, that I'll have his back, just like he has mine. The conditions are fair, and if I can help bring peace to the universe, then I shall" Sasuke said. Naruto smiled, as did Dimitria.
"This is a good day indeed. Hold on one second" Alpha said. He went around the corner for a minute, and came back with a black box.
"Sasuke. What Alpha is giving to you, is two keys to your powers. A communicator watch, which is in direct contact to all your comrades in this team, and any future comrades. Also has access to me, when I tell you of dangers lurking, and of course, a teleporter switch, to get you form many places, plus to help keep this base a secret. As for that device that looks like a pair of wrist devices, it is, a newly created power morpher. They will not leave you unless you give your powers to somebody else, or die. With these devices on you, I welcome you, Black Power Ranger Sasuke Uchiha" Dimitria said. Sasuke took the two devices. He slipped on the watch, and put away the morpher.
"Welcome to the team Sasuke" Naruto said. Sasuke embraced Naruto in a brotherly embrace. Dimitria gigged softly at the display.
"For now, you will train hard. Be the best you can be. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. When the true battle begins, I shall tell you about your zords. Giant machine creatures of power. Alone, they do sufficient damage, but combined into advanced Zords, or 'Megazords' they are virtually unstoppable. They will often be the main power you will use to defeat your enemies And remember. May your powers protect you" Dimitria said. Sasuke smiled, glad to be apart of the team.
