October tenth, it was supposed to be a day of wonderous celebration, the fourth hokage and his wife were having twins! Unfortunately an unwanted guest had shown up to give his 'well wishes'.
A man in black robes and an orange flame designed mask took Kushina, unsealed the kyuubi, and used him to attack the village.
The fox while he was under the masked mans control had destroyed 1/3rds of the village and that's while using every ounce of his will to hold back.
Minato had fought the masked man for a total of ten minutes until he had been able to get a contract seal on him which released the Kyuubi from his control.
In that moment Hiruzen sacrificed himself to seal the dark half (physical energy/KI) of the fox within Minatos daughter Mito and the light half (spiritual energy/mana) into his son Naruto.
This day which was supposed to be grand and celebrated for years to come was now a day of mourning.
(scene change)
A six year old Naruto Uzumaki stood in his parents library in the Uzumaki-Namikaze compound searching for a scroll to use for his self taught training, why was he teaching himself? That goes back to his and Mitos fourth birthday.
(Flashback: two years)
It was the day of Naruto and Mitos sixth birthday and the party was in full swing with everyone on a thirty-five person list had come. The list went Mikoto, Fugaku, Itachi, Shisui, Ryuu, (my oc/Sasuke's twin) and Sasuke Uchiha, then Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Asuma, Anko, Kakashi, Kurenai, Tsume, Hana, Kiba, Shikaku, Shikamaru, Choza, Choji, Inoichi, Ina, (my oc/Inos mother) Ino, Hiashi, Himi, (Oc/Hinata and Hinabis mother) Hizashi, Hinata, Neji, Danzo, Sai, Gai, Lee, Kuro, (Oc/TenTens father) TenTen, and Hikari (oc/TenTens mother)
While Naruto was hanging out with his friends Ino, Neji, Lee, TenTen, Choji, Ryuu, Sasuke, and Kiba Mito (who had both Hinata and Sai) complained to Minato who came over with a big smile. "Hey how about you kids 'hang out' with Mito for a bit, i need to talk to the birthday boy for a minute."
They all knew very well what this meant. 'Get lost or else.' Naruto nodded to them and they left.
As soon as they were out of earshot Minato started talking. "You better stop ruining this for your sister or you'll regret the day you were born."
He nodded but on the inside he was cursing his father for his blatant favoritism and his neglect, cursing Mito for her spoiled ways, cursing most of the people there for ignoring the obvious neglect, he wanted to curse his mother the most, wanted to make her feel what her husband and daughter were doing to him but he just couldn't do it because he knew that she was doing everything within her power to stop as much of the neglect as she can. If it were completely up to Minato he'd be locked in his room with nothing but a thin ripped blanket and a mattress found in a dark allyway and he'd be fed the absolute bare minimum while Mito was treated like a princess.
With his mom having 30% say she'd been able to give him 3 square meals a day, a basic wardrobe, and he gets to go to the primary school where he met all of his friends so while his father does what he can to make his life hell while encouraging and even promoting the idea for Mito to do the same his mom made it bearable.
After a total of four hours Naruto and Mito sat at the front of the dining room table as everyone piles up gifts in front of them. Naruto has fifteen gifts (one from each of the people here for him) while Mito has twenty-three. (same deal)
Right then Minato spoke. "Alright everyone, thank you for coming out today to celebrate my children's birthday. This is just further proof of Konohas will of fire and how we are a really big family and I'm grateful to see that will burning within all of you gathered here today. Now how about we give the spotlight over to the birthday children."
Mito (being the spoiled rotten little brat she was) had demanded that she go first and so Minato made Naruto wait. (with a whispered threat of a low powered Rasengan to the chest if he didn't listen)
Mito grabbed her first present and it was from the slug sannin herself.
Tsunade who gave her scrolls on basic medical ninjutsu which made her smile wide.
Jiraiya who allowed her to sign the toad summoning scroll.
Asuma gave her trench knives and a scroll on how to use them properly.
Kakashi gave her some basic lightning jutsu scrolls.
Kurenai gave her basic genjutsu scrolls.
Tsume gave her a pair of leather gloves with sharp chakra metal claws on the end.
Hana gave the girl a small pure white puppy that licked her face repeatedly.
Shikaku gave the girl a little ragdoll that she hugged onto.
Choza gave the girl a few sets of day to day clothes that where modern, comfortable, and were agreeable to even the most conservative person.
Inoichi gave Mito a book on basic meditation that she thanked him for.
Ina gave her a multitude of dresses, kimonos, and other formal wear for many different occasions.
Hiashi gave the girl scrolls on basic chakra control.
Himi gave her training clothes.
Hizashi gave her a few books for light reading.
Hinata gave her a few things of jewelry to which she got a big hug from the young Mito.
Neji presented her with the highest quality kunai/shuriken in Konoha. (He sent an apologetic look to Naruto who nodded slightly to show it was fine)
Danzo gave the girl a pair of crimson red bracers.
Sai gave her an art book and drawing pencils.
Gai gave her a basic taijutsu scroll.
Kuro gave her a chainmail undershirt.
Hikari gave her a pair of earrings.
Minato told her he'd teach her the Rasengan and Hiraishin.
And Kushina promised training in the chakra chains.
Minato attempted to pass Naruto's gifts to his 'precious' daughter but Kushina glared at him, daring him to try.
Naruto's first gift was from Mikoto who gave him a set of kunai/shuriken made by the best weapon smith in the land of iron.
Shisui got him a sword made by the best sword smith in the elemental nations and it was able to change its shape, size, length, weight, and density though none of them knew how that was possible but Naruto was happy about it.
Figaku handed the boy a bag of scrolls on chakra control exercises and even a few ninjutsu.
Itachi gave him basic genjutsu scrolls.
Ryuu gave him basic ninjutsu scrolls like the substitution no jutsu and the henge no jutsu.
Sasuke gave Naruto a book called Basic trap making 101 which he thanked him for.
Orochimaru gave Naruto a well preserved book called Calligraphy for beginners and told him it was his first calligraphy book and he'd need to get better at this before he can attempt fuinjutsu then allowed the young Uzumaki to sign the snake summoning scroll.
Anko gave him senbon needles and her first book on poisons.
Kiba gave Naruto a midnight black and dark brown puppy that looked up, licked his chin once, then curled up to sleep in Naruto's lap.
Shikamaru gave him a shogi board and promised to teach him to play.
Choji gave him a bag of chips that hid the scrolls he was giving him that go into detail about both physical and spiritual energy.
Ino handed Naruto some everyday wear clothes with a meditation book hidden in-between two shirts.
TenTen gave him a fully stocked weapon repair kit along with books on the subject.
Lee gave him twenty pound training weights for his arms and legs along with a scroll where he'd written down a training regiment and a diet chart (well balanced) made specifically for his current needs.
And Kushina had promised him kenjutsu lessons.
For the rest of the night Naruto and his group had moved up to the roof where they found Naruto's mom and Anko had set up food, drinks, and entertainment for them, Neji was even able to give Naruto some scrolls on chakra pathways and the tenketsu. All in all despite Minato and Mitos bull shit it was a good day.
(Flashback end)
Kushina had been able to give him the kenjutsu training but only through scrolls and quick pointers because Minato had made her focus most of her time on Mito with the logic that she had the yang half so she'd need more training than Naruto who was 'fine' so the boy was forced to learn on his own which brings us to this point in time.
Naruto looked through the books in his moms section of the library (also his section since his seventh birthday while Mito shares Minatos section but its rarely touched and that's only to grab a romance novel she'd put in there) when he came across a book he'd never seen before.
This book was as thick as Gais forearm and as tall as from Naruto's foot to his knee, the leather that bound the pages together was worn yet it seemed to be holding together better than any new books, the pages were made of old parchment yet the words could be read just as easily as if they were on fresh paper. The title read Traversing the arcane by Merlin and on the inside was a message. 'To the person who this tome shows itself to you are destined to be my successor.'
Naruto was interested in how a book could have the sentience to hide from others and then show itself to whoever is supposed to own it. 'I am truly sorry for the burden i must ask you to carry...'
This confused Naruto, a burden? What could he be asked to do by his predecessor that would burden him?' '... but now that you have this my oldest friend and most dangerous enemies tome will show itself to her successor and when they have learned what she has to teach them they will be coming for you to end your life so please train an get stronger for both your sake and the worlds.'
Naruto couldn't understand all of what was said but he did understand that some bitch had the same idea as his predecessor and whoever her successor was would attempt to kill him and do something that would harm others and he refused to allow that to happen.
'Don't worry Merlin I'll do everything i can to stop whoever owns the other book.'(scene change)
It had been a week since Itachi had killed the other Uchiha minus Sasuke and Ryuu and now Sasuke was in the Uchiha clan library when he found a black book with purple lined designs in it and it read 'Dark magic and how it's done by Morgana Lefay'.
