Chapter 1: The Contract
"Yes! Finally, I can do it! Did'ya see daddy, momma" and overly excited 7 year old said.
Said seven year old has long red wavey hair reaching her mid back. She was wearing an orange t-shirt and black shorts with blue shinobi sandels. She was 4'2 and had blue eye's. her name is Natsumi Namikaze Uzumaki.
"Well ofcourse honey, we woundln't miss it for the world" said another red head.
She has red hair reaching her lower back and had violet eye's. She is wearing a green home dress under a lightly tan cooking blouse. She is 5'9. Clearly she is the 7 year olds mother. She is Kushina Namikaze Uzumaki
"Exactly what I was thinking dear" Said a blonde.
He had blonde hair reaching his shoulders with two bangs one on each side of his face. He is wearing blue shinobi pants with matching shinobi sandels and a matching turtle neck with a green flak jacket over being covered by a white cloak with red flames licking the bottom. On his back read the words "yondaime hokage". He has blue eye's. His name is Minato Namikaze the girls father and the older womens husband.
They smiled as they watch their daughter run up and down the side of a tree. To any one who happened to walk by it would be the perfect image of family as mother and father laugh alongside their little angel on a sunny day.
All except one.
Twenty or so feet away from the family is another seven year old boy.
This boy had red hair similar to the females of the family but it was darker taking the tone of crimson (hairstly like ichigo's when he fight aizen) . Cold Electric-ice eye's stared at the family with an impassive gaze. He is wearing a royal purple shirt with a white fire design on it with black shorts and black shinobi sandels.
His name is Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki.
His face twisted into a sneer as he watch his 'family' interacted with each other once again forgetting his being. Soon it turned back into an impassive expresion.
'It is to be suspected, once again they forgot about me…if they ever remember me that is' He thought. This has been going on for as long as he can remember. His father and mother had been ignoring him for his twin sister ,Natsumi. Putting all their effort into taking care of her to training her into the shinobi arts. But he knew why too. It's because his sister is the jinchiriki of the Great Kyuubi no Kitsune. As far as he knew, he is the only one of his generation who knew along with a select few.
Only him, Kakashi, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Shizune, and the third hokage Hiruzen, Kushina, and Minato knew what Natsumi really is.
Seven years ago when He and Natsumi were born the Kyuubi attacked the village, killing thousands of both shinobi and civillians. In order to save his village Minato decided to seal the bijuu into something…or rather someone. He took an infant Natsumi and peformed the 'SHIKII FUIN' ritual. But something eles happened along the way.
More specificly when they were born.
The shinnigami, for his amusement, sent the soul of Kyuubi and sealed it into young Naruto.
But suprisingly Minato survived explaining to those select few that the shinnigami will take his soul soul when he has had his last breath.
He had only found out by reading the report scroll he found on Minato's desk.
At the age of four he was incrediably smart for his age and started to see the signs. His parents spending more time with Natsumi. Started her training a full year before the supposed time of five years of age.
So ever since his fith birthday he has been secretly training with Kyuubi.
He had no problem with it and Kyuubi had no problem with him. It was suprisingly easy meeting the Kyuubi.
xXFlashbackXx
He had been meditating when he appeared in his mindscape. Having read about it from the pshycological section from the library he knew where he was. His mindscape was a plain field with oak trees surrounding it. He looked up to see the full moon with a starry filled sky behind it with a few stray clouds floating aimlessly through the sky.
It…was peacefull.
He looked behind him to see the entrance of a cage with darkness creeping out of it.
Slowly his crimson eybrow rose in curiousity.
Then in the cage two giagantic eye's snapped open, blood red eye's with a black slit through them stared at cold blue ones.
"So your my jailor, huh?" It's voice boomed through out the field.
His eye's widen slightly in suprize.
"Jailor? So your sealed inside of me?"
"Yes, you could say that, although im not sure what that blasted shinnigami did."
Naruto continue to stare infront of him at those bloody red eye's. then he saw nine shadows behind the cage that looked like tails. Needless to say he put two and two together and was suprised.
"K-kyuubi-sama!"
Kyuubi was suprised. No one had call him that no matter how many times he told those pesky weak humans to. He smirked. Finally someone who respected his strenght.
"Got that right!"
"B-but how?! Your supposed to be sealed into my sister!"
"I do not know myself, however I do know that my chakara is sealed in that weak fleashbag while my soul is in you." He said earning a questioning look.
"The shinnigami did something with the sealing for kami know's what and put my soul into you and my power into your sister. Pretty much i am the yang part and my yin part is sealed into your sister" Kyuubi concluded.
Kyuubi looked back at his jailor to see him thinking about what it said.
"I…think I got it now, but wont that mean that my sister wont be able to use your chakara because it dosent have anything to keep it in check?"
"Your smarter than you look…almost too smart"
Naruto just scratch the back of his head with a sheepish smile plastered on his face.
"Yes it does mean that however she would still be able to use only 1 tail worth of my power"
This earned a nod from the red haired youth as he just sat down and stared at the beatiful sky in his mind scape.
"Tell me something?" Asked Kyuubi after he got done thinking.
"Yes"
"Why do you not fear me?" It has been bugging him since it met the red head.
"I see no reason to fear you" Naruto answered. He didn't know why but he just wasn't afraid of Kyuubi.
"What do you mean by that! I am the all mighty Kyuubi, you have every right to be afraid!"
"It's just as I said, I just don't"
'Hmm' thought Kyuubi.
"Fine, whatever…"grumbled Kyuubi.
A few minutes passed by in complete silence
"I should get going…" Naruto said standing up."how do I get out of here?"
Kyuubi just growled as he stood to his full height.
"Roooooaaaaarrrrrr!"
Naruto blue eye's shot open as he quickly scanned the room stopping to look out his window and saw it was night time.
'Huh must have been out of it for quite sometime'
"NARUTO UZUMAKI NAMIKAZE! Come down here this instant!" Yelled a fememine voice.
'Great'
End flashback
A voice brought him from his thoughts.
"Daddy can I spare with nii-san"
"Great idea Natsume, NARUTO! Come over here!"
'Great, just great' he thought.
Natsume always uses the spar excuse just to rub everything in his face then uses Kyuubi's power to beat him.
'Time to change that' he thought. He has been waiting for awhile to put his sister in her place. He has doubled his training since last time just for today.
He walked over to the Namikaze family quietly and stared at his father with no emotion on his face and in his eye's.
"Yes father" even his voice sounded dead.
But it seemed his father didn't care as he told him to get ready to spar against his sister.
"At ounce" he said as he started towards the middle of the feild and stared straight ahead of him. He heard his father and mother wish her luck which responded in her telling them she dosen't need any to beat him.
He scoffed. Her arrogance is going to get her killed or worse. But whatever, it's time for their "spar" to begin.
"Ready to lose once again dobe" she taunted.
He just sliped into a stance Kyuubi taught him.
Their father walked over and placed his hand up and the air.
"Rules are the same, Get ready…HAJIMA"
He jumped back to his spot next to his wife and watched the fight begin.
Natsume ever the arrogant little girl ran straight ahead with gennin like speeds towards her brother. Meanwhile Naruto was just standing there still in the same spot easily tracking her. She went in for a right hook when she felt her footing change as her brother grabbed her fist and pulled her towards him. He then side step as he left a foot behind to trip her. She caught herself before she face planted into the ground and spun on her hands hoping to kick his feet from right under him. However her brother just back flipped away and stood still, ready for her to come at him again.
She kicked herself up and charged him again, not taking into account her brother was getting ready to charge her to. Right when he was in her stricking distance she tried to kick him with her left foot. Naruto however saw this coming and dodged it by leaning to his right and charged foward thrusting his right arm foward for a punch. Natsume was to late to block as she was lifted from the ground and fell backwards.
"You are to predictable, Natsume" exclaime naruto.
"Grrrr, shut up teme!"
She started to concentrate as she began to call upon kyuubi's power.
'Oh no if she does that then no doubt she will win again' he thought as he ran towards her. However he was stoped when Natsume let out a roar and charged at him at chunnin speeds.
'Shit, i'm to late.' He thought. Then he was hit in the gut causing him to cough out blood. Then he was kicked in the ribs which sent him flying to the side.
"Guhh" he coughed up more blood this time as he tried to stand up. He raised he left arm to block an incoming puch but he didn't see a claw like hand coming down on his hand. Only by instinct and reflexes was he able to pull his head back a little bit but not without a cost.
His left eye was scratched by the hand cover in demonic chakara.
"Ahhhhhh!" He screamed in pain as he managed to land a powerful right hook under Natsume jaw sending her flying back landing on the soft ground knocked out.
He managed to see out of his right eye his parents running towards his sister screaming her name.
'They still don't care about me, huh'
That was it for him as he succumb to darkness. The pain throbbing from his left eye and the internal bleeding to much for his body.
Three days later
Naruto opened his right eye to see darkness all around him. He sat up to get a better veiw of his surrounding just to see more darkness all around.
'Am I in my mindscape?' He asked himself
He stood up and started walking taking into account how he feels no pain from his ribs except for the throbbing in his left eye. He held up his right hand toward the eye as he clenched his teeth.
'She has gone to far this time, not only has she put me in almost criticle condition but has possibly crippled my left eye with that damn demonic chakara!' He ranted in his head. But he stoped as soon as he heard a voice.
"Calm down child"
It voice laced with power and authority. Needless to say he had to turn around. When he turned around to see who had spoke to him he was met by the sight of a male figure dressed in purple armor, his face shadowed by his helmat but his srticking yellow eye's stood out.
"Who are you?" he asked.
The figure shrugged not caring if he knew his name or not.
"My name is Susanno"
"W-what? N-no way"
"Way"
"What is the god of storm doing in the presence of a mere human like myself"
"Why I simply want to make a contract"
"A contract? Why?" He would admit he was extremely suprised and excited at making a contract with the god of storm, but he hust had to ask. Besides, dosen't he already have a contract with the uchiha through their eye's. yes he knew of the mangekou sharingan, having read about the rivalary between the shodaime hokage and Madara Uchiha.
"Becuase, I need a warrior…"
"For what?"
"For too long this world has been corrupted, twisted, and tainted with nothing but evil… and i believe it's time to fix However for that to happen I will need and individual who is very intelligent, realistic, and has the potential to become very powerfull… so I have choose you"
Naruto just closed his eye's to think of what he had just been told.
"What do I get out of this?"
"Your eye plus…some new features"
"Like what?"
"The powers of the mangeko sharingan"
Naruto just stood there, mouth agape, shocked beyound words. He then bowed to the god of storm and yelled "I do not deserve such power".
"Nonsense, you are everything kami-sama wanted in a human. Potential, respectfull, and many other reasons. Except for one thing."
"Like w-what?" Naruto asked, still shocked.
"Your hatred for the Namikaze family"
Naruto just looked down.
"But there is a way to rid of such hatred"
"Like what?"
Susanno snapped his finger and they were in a different part of his mind. It was all white and bright it could drive some one insane.
"By facing your hatred"
Another Naruto appeared but it seemed different.
Everything was the same…except for his eye…his right eye was black whith the pupil being blood red. His entire being radiated hatred,anger, and any negativ emotion he had ever felt for his family. One emotion stood above all else…betrayel.
Susanno faded from exsintince, but Naruto didn't care. His right eye staring into the the right eye of himself.
Sunddenly the negative Naruto started walking towards him (Im going to call him N2 from now on).
"You feel it to"N2 said.
"Feel what"
"The betrayel...they were family, but now were outcast"
Naruto looked down. Then he looked up and started walking towards N2 also.
"That is true, however no matter how much it pains me I know that there is some one out, who has a worse life than mine, wishing that they were in my shoes instead of the one they probably don't have"
N2 stoped and stared at Naruto who kept walking towards him, confused.
"Yea, their my family and they are supposed to love me and my sister uncoditionally. However beggers can't be choosers. but we won't have to worry about the Namikaze family anymore"
"Why?"
Because they are no longer our family"
N2 eye shot up in suprise.
"They are and forever will be the Namikaze family, but, both you and I will be the Uzumaki. We will never leave family behind. Because that is what it means to be an Uzumaki!" Naruto shouted that last part out, now infront of N2.
Then Naruto did something that suprised N2…he hugged him. "Me and you will never be alone…because we have eachother"
N2 eye turned from black and to white and ice-blue. Then N2 lifted his arms and gave Naruto a hug to.
"Thank you" he said until he faded into nothing.
Naruto just stood there, confused. He felt complete.
"That is because you are" Susanno said.
Naruto turned and bowed to him.
"Rise, my new warrior"
Naruto stood up straight and stared at Susanno. Susanno took his left and and extended it until his index finger touched his left eye. Then a purple light glowed from underneath Naruto's closed eyelid. Then Susanno took his hand back and took a step back.
"I have gave you the eye my two sisters and me along with the powers that come along with it. I have also implanted how to activate said techniques though you will have to practice it first, and lastly I haved healed the wounds the Kyuubi jinchuriki caused on your body, now all you have to do is wake up" And with a snap of his fingers he was gone and Naruto's eye's shot up.
He looked around and saw he was in hospital room hooked up to multiple machines.
'How did I get here and was everything just a dream?' He asked himself.
'To answer both your question a human fleabag by the name of Shizune took you here and no, that was all real, take a look in the mirror and look at your left eye' A booming voice said.
'Kyuubi-sama! I was wondering when you will show up?'
'I coundn't because that god blocked me out but I was able to see and hear everything, now leave me alone! I NEED MY NAP!' Kyuubi roared. And them the connection was shut off.
'Geez, didn't need to yell'
He unplugged the machines and walked over to his clothes that were folded in a chair.
'Didn't even bring new clothes' he chuckeled to himself.
He put the, on and went to the bath to lookat his left eye.
"Holy shit"
