Memories of the Soul
Disclaimer: Naruto and Puella Magi Madoka Magica is not mine. Also, the original idea behind this story came from the amazing story "Silent clocks tickling" by the author atomic muffin. He has given me permission to run with the idea and this is what I created.
"Naruto" = Human speech
'Madoka' = Human thought
"Naruto" = Flashback speech

There were many things one could say described Naruto Uzumaki.
He was a knucklehead with and unbreakable determination. He was Konoha's Most Unpredictable Shinobi. He never gave up on anything he sets his mind on no matter what anyone said or did. He was stubborn to a fault. He had a crush on Sakura Haruno, one of his teammates. He had a rivalry with his other teammate Sauke Uchiha. His dream was to be Hokage.
Another thing that could be said is that no matter how much hate and pain he experienced by the hands of his home, he never lashed out against them in anyway other than pranks. He was able to take the hatred of thousands of people without breaking under the pressure of all those negative emotions.
One could say that this fact was because of being loved by his parents, even if it was only for a short amount of time. Others would say it was because he had inherited his mother, Kushina's, personality.
However, there was much more to the boy then others and even he himself knew.
Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a sigh.
'Today has been very stressful' the man thought to himself.
It was the day after the Kyuubi attacked. The day after many Konoha citizens and shinobi died. The day after his wife, his successor, and his successor's wife died, leaving their orphan son the newest Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi.
He had just finished arguing with the Council over the fate of Naruto Uzumaki, the aforementioned Jinchuriki. Because of the attack, there was much ill will against the young boy, with people thinking he was the reincarnation of the fox. Thus, many on the council wanted to see the newborn dead.
This was unacceptable to Hiruzen. The infant was the son of his successor, though he would not be advertising that fact, and having him killed would be an affront to the man. Also, as much as he did not want to consider it, with the damage the escaped Biju caused, a Jinchuriki would be a great asset for the village to make up for the damages. Thus, after taking back the position as Hokage, Hiruzen told the council how anyone who tried to kill the newborn would be put to death, and created a law forbidding anyone from telling the future generation about Naruto's status.
However, as public opinion was to against Naruto, Hiruzen planned to keep him close to himself to ensure his safety.
Hiruzen sighed to himself once more. The old man was exhausted by what had happened today. Even worse, he would have to take care of all the damages and lead the village again in its time of need.
He really had his work cut out for him.
So preoccupied by his musing on what would need to be done to help the village recover, the Sandaime missed how infant Naruto's eyes opened, and for a brief instant, glowed pink.
The Kyuubi was very, very angry at the moment.
Just yesterday, it had managed to escape from the seal of its previous jailer. However, upon doing so, it was then, once again, controlled by an accursed Uchiha. After it finally regained its mind, it then had to deal with annoying humans attacking it. Next, it had to deal with that damn toad boss summoned by its previous jailer's husband. Finally, it had been sealed once again, this time into an infant.
It therefore had many good reasons to be angry.
As it was raging, it suddenly stopped, feeling something inside its new host. Curious, the fox tried to sense what it was feeling. The power it was sensing was great, greater than the Biju's own. This worried the beast, as weakened by the sealing as it was, the power it was sensing could destroy it.
Looking deeper into the presence, the Kyuubi could feel that it was linked to its host. That was not good. If its host could ever access that power, then it could destroy it. Unacceptable.
The Kyuubi used what little power it could to dampen the connection between this power and its host, thus insuring as long as it was in direct connection with its host's chakra, its host could never access this power. Though there might be little bits that slipped through, there would never be enough to destroy the fox.
Satisfied with its work, the fox then went to sleep so it could recover its power.
Naruto was eight years old when he met her. When he saw her, he could not help but be fascinated by her.
The boy had not had a good life. He had been neglected by the people who were supposed to be taking care of him. His caretakers encouraged the other kids to bully him. He had been thrown onto the streets when he was six years old, much too young to be taking care of himself. Parents pulled away their children whenever he tried to play with. Teachers at his school seem to take pleasure in watching him fail and encourage the other students to make fun of him.
All in all, Naruto lived a pretty miserable life.
Then came the day when he met her.
It was not anything about the girl's personality that attracted him to her. It was her hair. It was a very pretty color of pink.
Naruto did not know why, but seeing that hair color on that girl just got his attention. Like there was something deep inside him that felt something for that color. He could feel that there was something inside of him that wanted to keep that color close.
However, Naruto did not interpret the feeling like this. All he felt was that that girl felt important to him, so obviously he needed to get close to her. So Naruto was interested in her.
'I think that I remember hearing that if a boy is interested in a girl, then the boy wants to date the girl' Naruto thought to himself. 'They then go on dates, where the two spend time together.'
That sounded great to Naruto. It would mean he would no longer be alone and friendless. Nodding to himself, Naruto planned to ask the girl out the next time he saw her.
A ten-year-old Naruto looked at the best kid at class, Sasuke Uchiha.
Naruto could not but dislike him. The other boy had the attention of everyone around him but took it for granted. Naruto would give anything to be looked at by everyone else, to be thought of as important. Naruto resented how he took for granted something Naruto was denied.
However, Naruto also wished to try and befriend the boy. He was not sur why he wished to do so. Every time he thought about it, his mind would flash the image of a girl with black hair and purple eyes, but the image would go too quickly for the boy to really remember.
All Naruto knew was that he had the desire to befriend that lonely boy.
A twelve-year-old Naruto fell limp in the hold of the snake Sannin, Orochimaru. The man had just placed a seal over the one containing the fox. The two were in Konoha's Area 44, also known as the Forest of Death.
Orochimaru was about to throw the Kyuubi child away, when something unexpected happened.
With the Kyuubi now cut off from Naruto's chakra, it could no longer suppress the power sleeping in the boy. With it no longer being suppressed, the power now released itself, sensing danger.
Orochimaru did not even have enough time to scream as suddenly, Naruto's eyes snapped open and turned a golden-amber, before the boy released a wave of pink power, completely obliterating the Sannin and the branch they were on.
Naruto's teammates watched in complete astonishment as Naruto let out a whitish-pink light. They saw as the boy slowly drifted down to the ground, still encased in light.
As the light disappeared and the power retreated, Naruto could only think of one thing before he lost consciousness. Right before he fell unconscious, he could only say one thing as his teammates jumped down to get to him.
"Homura-chan."
After saying that name, Naruto fell unconscious into his teammates arms, leaving them very confused on what just happened.
In a dimension away from the one Naruto was in, a girl in a school uniform with long, black hair and amethyst eyes gasped, feeling the presence of the person most important to them.
The girl broke down in tears, overjoyed. Both at feeling that presence once again, and because with that surge of power, the girl could now finally find the person most important to them.
"Madoka" the girl cried, feeling only joy at finally being able to once again see the one she loved the most.
Author Note:
Sorry for any minor errors, this is my first story. This is just an idea that would not leave me after reading "Silent Clocks Tickling". It has the same circumstances, only with Naruto being Madoka's reincarnation rather than Harry. Anyway, this is a one-shot I made with intentions to be adopted as a full story by anyone who wants to. I am writing this to further spread the idea of 'Madoka reincarnating as another character in another world'. Anyone can adopt this idea from me to create their own story, as after writing this, I found I do not have the talent to write stories very well. You might need to ask atomic muffin for permission as well, but anyone who wants to can take this idea to create their own story or continue it. You have my full permission to create a story using this idea.
