Naruto the snake summoner
We find our little blonde gaki running from yet another mob of angered civilians like his life depended on getting away from them, because in actuality it did. The mob were chanting war cries of "there's the little demon", and "kill it before that demon lover Sandaime gets here".
Naruto had actually been faring pretty well thus far, sadly he's had a lot of practice at running from angry mobs in he short life. He was forced out of the orphanage at for and a half by the monk of all people that ran the place, the reason he gave was that he "had to get the demon out of there before it could corrupt any of the children's souls". Yes young Naruto's life has been one of tragedy, parents died on the day he was born, scorned by most people you meet, and last but not least is having the most powerful biju sealed into your newborn body truly a tragic story. But I digress back to the chase.
Unfortunately for the little blonde he hadn't seen the loose cobble stone in the street and had fell face first on to the cold hard unforgiving street below. By the time he managed to get up and start running again the mob had gained on him considerably, they were now thirty feet behind him and gaining on him fast because of a slight, but still noticeable limp the eleven year old had managed to pick up from his fall. He was running out of choices now and starting to panic more and more by the minute. He knew he couldn't out run them, and was losing hope of those nice masked ninja that always saved him before showing up. So he decided that he would cut in to the next alley and try to loose them.
Sadly for young Naruto he ran straight into the waiting arms of a few chunin who had a grudge against the boy's burden. They grabbed him and threw him against the wall and mercilessly beat him, stabbed him and burned him with low-level katon jutsu. They beat him to the bronk of unconscious, but wouldn't let the poor boy slip into blissful unconscious.
XXXXXXXXXXXXFLASHBACK NO JUTSU AND NARUTO'S POVXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto was making his way to the Hokage tower for a meeting with his jiji (they did this from time to time to time to catch up and if Naruto had new questions or needed advice) from detention with Iruka for putting glue on the cover of his Icha Icha Paradise that Iruka reads during the kiddies lunch break. (Naruto caught him with it out a few times when he barged into the room to ask him about taking him out for ramen after class)
As he was making his way home mumbling curses about "stupid perverted senseis", and things of that nature but not in such friendly terms. He felt a sharp pain in the back of his head made by a haphazardly thrown brick, as he stumbled and looked back to see a mob forming and had one conscious thought run through his young mind "oh fuck! feet don't fail me now" and took off running like a shot with the mob starting to get organized and start after the blonde.
As time went on during the chase all he could think was "why me what did I do to them for them to hate me this much?" depressing thoughts such as these plagued the mind of Naruto as he ran.
To say that he hated these chases and rescues by the villages ANBU were like saying that Kakashi was only a few minutes late, or saying that Guy's "flames of youth" were only a small pilot light. No he out right hated it but at least he never got caught yet.
That was until tonight, when Naruto was caught he just looked over the mass of people while dangling from a twenty something chunin's grasp at the mass of civilians "why" the first word came out above a whisper "why me" the second sentence a coarse softly spoken it hushed the screams for the eleven year old boys' death. They all listened with baited breath at what the "demon's" last words would be most thought it would be laughing and telling them it would see them in hell, or saying that it would kill them all not crying, why was it crying?
So the listened on "what the hell did I ever do to any of you?" Naruto managed to choke out with a broken voice "I my play a prank now and then but is that really enough reason for this" he was sobbing now. He lifts his head again to see mixed amounts of hatred and and hated mixed mixed with confusion one or two faces and then he chuckles and says "well answer me is it?"
The looks of confusion quickly fade away and pure contempt, and hated take their place. As the "good" people of Konoha convince themselves this is but a trick of the demon to take advantage of their "good nature". So someone from the crowd quickly screams "lies all of it we will never fall for your tricks demon" so they set about beating, burning, stabbing, and all around maiming a small helpless child with sadistic glee that would give Ibiki nightmares. While our young blonde is being tortured he's thinking why over and over and over in his head.
XXXXXXXXXX FLASH BACK NO JUTSU KAI XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
This is the scene that the Sandaime arrived upon with his personal ANBU. What he saw there made him sick a blistered, blooded, lacerated, bruised, and plainly broken Naruto lying on the ground surrounded by three chunin and a crowd of civilians kicking a barely coherent eleven year old boy. He saw all he needed to and quickly ordered the ANBU to kill them all, no mercy, while he grabbed his grandson in every thing but blood and rushed him back to hospital at speeds that would have made Minato jealous.
When he arrived he burst through the door shouting for his personal doctor, because after the display he saw in the street that he would find no better here no matter how much he desperately wish it was not so. His personal physician arrived just moments later, he was an elderly gentleman complete with salt and pepper hair and a gray moustache and said "Hokage-sama what's the problem the time of night? Unlike yourself some of our hearts at our age can't take all of this excitement" before chuckling softly.
When the Hokage stayed stone faced that's when he knew it was a serious matter. "Hitoshi-san" Sarutobi said with a stern and even tone "It's Naruto, he was caught and tortured is the best way I can describe it, by a mob we found him a few minutes ago" it was time for Hitoshi to become pissed off ( Hitoshi was the doctor for Minato as well, therefore was Kushnia's doctor when she was pregnant with Naruto so he knows Naruto is not the demon, but the container part of the reason that the hokage brought Naruto to him)
Hitoshi said " take me to him NOW!" the hokage just smiled nodded and ran down the hall to the room that Naruto had been taken to, it was little more than a supply closet with a bed and heart monitor. Hitoshi growled low in his throat. "WHAT IS HE DOING IN A ROOM LIKE THIS! THIS IS A ROOM FOR COMATOSE PATIENTS!" as his face went red and the veins started popping out in his neck. As he continued to grumble about "incompetent, ignorant medical staff" he started his exam of Naruto.
At first his face was seemingly calm again, but by the end of the exam he was livid and it showed through as he turned to the aging hokage and said "these wounds aren't fatal, they weren't meant to be, they we to make him suffer, and keep him completely awake during. Then more than likely let him bleed to death later." he then sighed and said " I was in the first great shinobi war... the same with you I was a med nin and I've never seen more horrific wounds inflected just to make some one suffer.
The hokage stood there and listened and was getting more appalled by the minute if a veteran of THAT war had not seen something this cruel then he would have to do something, but what? He would think on that later, now he zoned out and this in fact was important, I mean it's not a council meeting. "I'm sorry could you repeat that?" Hitoshi's eyebrow twitched in annoyance
"I said that he'll make a full recovery, and should be up and around in the morning, as a matter of fact from past experience when that kunai just happened to "slip" out of that instructor's hard last year when he was walking home from the academy, I would say it won't even leave a physical scar. But kami only knows what it will do to him mentally" the Sandaime frowned at that
"yes something will have to be done about this I don't think he could handle anymore of those" he thought to himself " thank you so much for all you've done Hitoshi-san I am in your debt, though I assure you that this will not happen again, and that the "people" who did this are not with us any more I believe is was a mass cult suicide" the Sandaime said with a small smile it was returned by Hitoshi.
The next day Naruto woke up with a splitting migraine headache. Hearing an annoying beeping beside his head he slowly opened his eyes, and got blinded by white shutting them again grumbling all the while about "stupid hospitals trying to kill me with bright lights and shitty food" he heard soft chuckling he opened his eyes trying to focus on who it was. Then his eyes lit up like Jiraiya in a women's side of the hot spring with Tsunade standing there nude telling him "come here big boy", and Naruto screamed "JIJI!"
The Sandaime chuckled again and said "My Naruto you act as if I wouldn't be here né?" and let out another chuckle
Naruto tilted his head and said "well I thought that you might get mad that I didn't make it last night"
The pure innocence of Naruto pulled at the Sandaime's heart-strings and said "Naruto I could never be mad at you, especially if you had a good reason, or couldn't help it"
That's when it all hit Naruto he got a downcast expression and said "Jiji will you tell me why they said I was a demon?"
The Sandaime got deathly quiet as he thought over the pros and cons of telling him now. But then he had an idea, a wonderful idea "Not Naruto-kun but I'll make a deal with you ok?"
Naruto looked at him strangely and said "what kind of deal?" Naruto asked suspiciously
"One to make sure your mature enough to hear it my boy" the Sandaime said wisely.
Naruto seemed to ponder on it for a few moments and thought "If Jiji if testing me to make sure I can handle it then it's got to be big, and I really wanna know to so lets see what it is first "What's in the deal Jiji I know that your tricky"
The hokage was already thinking his choice right "Well Naruto-kun you stay in class, pay attention and most of all bring your grades up ok, and I'll set up tutoring sessions for you with Iruka, and me for theory that you can't understand ok naruto-kun" the Sandaime said with a smile.
Naruto got stars in his eyes and said "Do you really mean it, I hate the academy I get picked on by all the teachers except Iruka, and how am I supposed to know what the diffrence between a timer seal, and a compression seal are" he said scratching the back of his head " but the stuff with you would be worth it Jiji" as his face broke out into a grin
"Naruto that's fuinjustu your talking about how do you know about that " the Sandaime asked with a raised eyebrow
"Because that's what most of my tests have been on Jiji" Naruto answered as if it were the simplest thing in the world no matter that fuinjutsu is a chunin starting level and extremly complicated art.
"Naruto are they going over that in class?"Asked the Sandaime with some suspition. Naruto started to fidget in his chair " Naruto answer me" spoke the Sandaime in a voice the left no room for negotiation.
"I don't know Jiji they all ways kick me out after roll call" now the Sandaime was livid ( mean while mizuki shivered across town) "Naruto who long has this been going on?" asked the Sandaime in an even tone while Naruto shivered
Then said little blonde replied "since the second day" now the Sandaime was beyond furious
"Naruto when your released come see me in me office ok I have a jutsu I want to teach you"
Naruto's eye's almost popped out of his head "Which one Jiji which one? Is it gonna be a super cool fire justu I can use to show up the teme with? Or maybe one of those awesome water jutsu like the Nidaime used out of thin air that Iruka sensei was talking about come on Jiji tell me please!" Naruto said as he turned on puppy dog eyes on full power
Luckily the Sandaime was used to Naruto's version and just smiled and said "You'll find out when you get there and not a minute sooner and get some rest" as the ageing kage was getting up he heard the blonde mumbling about "stingy old men and how he was gonna get him back"
The third paled a bit thinking about Naruto's pranking skills he heard a a small broken voice call out to him and say " jiji ... am ... am I really a demon?" the Sandaime stopped in his tracks
The old leader turned and faced the little blonde and said "No my boy that I know your not. as a matter of fact your of of the best young men I've ever known. Now get some rest Naruto-kun as I'll see you soon."as the third left he missed the tears running down the blondes face, both of relief, and happiness.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXTIME SKIP NO JUTSUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day Naruto was running through the streets on his way to see what kind of super cool and just completely awesome jutsu that his Jiji was gonna teach him, he was having all kinds of daydreams of wearing the hokage robes and hat standing there by his side was his sakura-chan, and sasuke was under his feet in utter defeat.
Yes these were the thoughts going through one Uzumaki Naruto's head when he entered the hokage tower. He made his way past the secretary who was screaming that "demons" had no business with the hokage, but he ignored her and ran in any way. When he barged through the door the hokage looked up from his paper work and said "ahh Naruto just the young man I wanted to see"
That's when the secretary bust through right after him and screamed out " I TOLD YOU THE HOKAGE DOESN'T WISH TO SEE YOU, YOU DAMN FOX!" she snarled out
And the hokage shot her a death glare and said "ANBU take this woman to Ibki and tell him to have fun" her face went white, eyes wide and before she could start pleading the ANBU had her and shunshined out with her. "Now Naruto our meeting was interrupted, and before anything else can happen I would like to tell you that our deal is still on, before you say but how or something of the like sit down and listen" Naruto closed his mouth from saying just that and sat on the couch "Now about the jutsu it will help you if anything goes on then it will be a big help to you. It's called the Kuchiyose no Jutsu. You see Naruto I'm going to let you sign my contract with the apes that way you can always have your familiar summon with you that way if any thing happens it will come to he and tell me whats wrong ok. Do you understand so far?"
Naruto took on a thinking pose Sarutobi thought to himself how cute he looked then Naruto said "so far I think so, but why when I have all those nice masked ninja running around who always... well I guess I see your point "
At that the Sandaime smiled slightly " yes but also if your "teachers" try kicking you out again like they have been ok"
Naruto smiled brightly at him "Thanks jiji you're the best"
The ageing kage smiled back and said "ok now let's go find an empty training ground"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX TIME SKIP ONE HOUR XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Now Naruto first we will go through the hand signs ok? The hand signs for summonns are the same for each species of summon creature so what make one come out for me and a different one for your are one of two factors. Number one you have signed a summoning contract in blood and past that summoning clans test, number two almost never happens is because it's so rare and that is a high affinity toward that type of summon the only case in modern history that I'm aware of is my student jiraiya of the sannin, but that is the only known case I know about. So the seals are boar, dog, monkey, bird, and tiger. Got that? Then you bite your thumb and place your hand on the ground and say Kuchiyose no Jutsu"
As he looked over Naruto was going through the seals memorizing them until he got them memorized and added chakra to the mix as the Sandaimes eyes grew wide, and before he could stop him he bit his thumb placed his hand on the ground and screamed Kuchiyose no jutsu and disappeared. The wised hokage walked over to the nearest tree and started banging his head on it repeating the mantra "stupid, stupid, stupid that makes the second person I was going to pass the title of ape summoner down to and of course like an idiot I show them both the hand seals first" then he got an evil smile, and said to himself "I'll pawn it off on Konohamaru in a few years yes that's what I'll do" then it sunk in " oh shit jiraiya didn't come back for a week I wonder how long Naruto will be gone?"
Then his eyes grew even more "oh dear kami" as he rushed to summon Enma
When he did "Sarutobi I see no battle, why have you summoned me?"
The old hokage looked grim and replied Enma it's happened again."
The monkey king had a perplexed look until he saw the summoning seal on the ground and said in an amused voice "First Jiraiya, no who did you happen to leave out signing the contract to?"
The hokage grew a tick mark above his eye and said "Enma it's no time for jokes Naruto just reverse summoned himself to who knows where"
Enma looked at him with an unreadable expression and said "Well this is a dangerous prospect indeed, unless he passes whatever test that the summons have for him, you may not see him again" said the wise old monkey king.
Sarutobi was now in a world of his own hoping that Naruto would come back to him in one piece. "Enma can you tell me to which summons realm he's gone?" in a hopeful voice.
The elder ape looked at him and said "yes if I see the summoning seal before it fades out completely"
The Sandaime then lead him over to the seal that by this time was partly faded. Enma looked at the runes of the seal and said "Hiruzen old friend we may have a problem" with wide eyes he explained where he had gone, and as he did the old man's heart sank as the chances of seeing his grandson in all but blood again as the blood drained from his face.
