my name is naruto, and i am without a doubt the most hated human being in konaha... not simply as the jailer of the kyuubi the strongest of the nine bijuu. but because of my arm, my damned right arm...
the seal matrix put on my arm managed to save it and still allow me to utilize chakra through it, and at first that was all we believed it did.
but then that day cam and ruined everything... the attack on my fourth birthday...
i killed him, me. not the kyuubi.
but me and this damn arm.
...flashback 11 years ago october 10...
"get him!" shouts one of the villagers.
"burn the demon." yells another.
the target of the onslaught me, and i'm running as fast as my little legs can carry. when the mob had come to the orphanage for me the cartacker had just thrown me outside to them. and so i ran, not knowing what else to do.
i had tried to get to the hokage's tower, but it's like they saw this and made every move to cut me off. after an hour they herded me into a deadend alleyway, i had no energy to run so i figured i aint goin down without a fight.
a kid fresh outta the academy step forward, and when he threw his fist i made my move.
time seemed to slow down i was able to weave under his fist and i threw a punch to his gut... but it didnt just throw him back it singed his jacket. he thought it had been a fluck, so he charged again, only for a much more disasterous outcome to take place.
he managed to get ahold of me by my t-shirt, lifting me it to the air to stare at my face. i had only wanted him to put me down, i never meant... i lashed out and grab his face.
the resulting screams were heard around the village, his face was charred beyond recognistion and acourding to a hyuuga who arrived on the scene, the chakra pathways in his body were disintigrate at a rapid rate, as my own chakra reserve was boulstered.
i was dropped to the ground a broken soul, i had killed someone. four anbu appeared then and put a wall between myself and the villagers.
though for my safety or theirs i never cared enough to find out, my eyes were stuck on the face of the boy i murdered. i am naruto uzumaki-namakaze, jailor of the kyuubi, murderer, and weapon.
... end flashback...
i sit upon the fourth hokage's head on the monument... if i had been a normal child i would have been proud to have him as a father. but i have been a killer since age four. specially trained by the third hokage and kakashi hatake, in the arts of the ninja... i was a weapon and i didn't deserve a family.
i stare down at the bane of my existance, the near invisable seal matrix covering my right arm. the old man had caught wind that their was a mole in the village, one that wanted to steal the forbidden scroll, and i couldn't let that happen. while technically only a genin in rank i could give even jiji trouble if i tapped into even a fraction of my arms power of negation. but i never did, the memories huanted me.
a shadow flies through the air with the decoy scroll, 'well time to get to work,' i think as i launch to the skies in pursuit of the figure. 'little small to be a spy,' i think as i land next to the kid... wait kid.
i look at the boy in front of me, unruly silver hair, pale crytaline eyes, strong bone structure... just like
i drop to the ground as the memories flare to the surface, the face burning under my hand, despair and disgust covering every face around me, the fear tangible in the boys eyes... just like the eyes now looking at me with concern.
locking it all back down inside, i stand.
"boy do you know how severe a crime it is to steal that scroll." i state more than ask.
"how would you know your my age." he retorted.
it was true while i was one of the strongest ninja in the village i had only obtained my hitai, about a year ago.
i sigh and reveal my arm, flaring my chakra through it. the seal matrix lights up like a fire on a starless night.
"ho..holy shit your the devil arm ninja." he practically screams. though he butchered my title, i am the devil arm of the hokage, but details.
"atsuma...so glad you got the scroll now give it to me." comes a voice from behind me. turning i find mizuki one of the academy teachers.
"so your the one behind this mizuki... why did you involve a student in you power scheme. that is just plain sick." i say as i turn to face him.
"a morality lesson from a demon jailor, let alone murderer." mizuki starts.
"that was a long time ago... i haven't killed since." i shoot back.
"one stain is enough to taint all naruto, didn't the old fool teach you that?" he fires off, and when he does my arm flares to life, my emotions getting the best of me.
fire dances around my feet then up my legs as i launch off the ground, twirling around my right arm i punch clean and true, "katon: flare rush" and three fire enhanced punches catch him square in the chest.
mizuki get annihalated, only to crumble in ash... 'damn its just a mud clone... where... down.' i clear out all options in my head, the fire a punch straight down hard enough to practically uproot all nearby trees.
a figure launches from the armagedon below me barely making it to safety, "well, it's true your power does rival that of the sannin... but without that arm you would be nothing." mizuki says before swallowing some strange liquid, and gripping his head in pain.
"this is one of my masters experiments, the desired effect is to recreate your arm. be proud to be the center of my masters attention." he screams as his left arm explodes with an impressive amount of raiton chakra... a seal matrix similer to mine upon it, though it looked like a three years old drew it while hopped up on sin.
"fire vs lightning... well then lets see how you are out of your element." i call off to mizuki.
we clash my fire lashing against his lighning and it looks as though we are even, but any experianced nin watching could tell i haven't even tried while mizuki is straining to even call upon his element.
"it's difficult the first time the arm awakens isn't it mizuki... you have no experiance with it while i have 11 years worth of training my enchanted arm." i shout out as he leaps back to safety.
"atsuma do you want to know how your brother died?" he shouts, and i freeze turning to look back at the boy.
"what tell me... who killed toya?" he cries out.
a face flashes in my mind, those eyes... so similier.
"11 years ago your brother attacked naruto, and in a blind fit of rage naruto killed him. he destroyed his chakra pathways, while burning his flesh... all because of that right arm." mizuki screams out.
atsuma sinks to the ground and stares at me, tears falling from his face, "tell me it isn't true... you wouldn't, he wouldn't attack a four year old... would he?"
i look away, "i'm sorry atsuma... he was furious he thought i was responsible for the suffering of the village because i contain the nine tailed fox in a seal on my gut, he struck and i reacted. i never meant to kill him i just wanted to be left alone, to live my life. when my arm touched him, this arm destroys everything it comes in contact with. but atsuma the question you have to ask is...," i say all this then turn to look him in the eye, "will you fall here to despair or stand now and fight, not for the village or even fore yourself, but for your memories, for toya? when you can answer that, come find me... but right now i got a traitor to deal with."
turning to mizuki i say, "you know your right mizuki... without this arm i would be nothing. but i have it and nothing i can do can get rid of it so i might as well use it and do some good."
"no no no no no no... you damn useless boy you are supposed to avenge your brother... if you wont fight fine then." he says as he begins runing through hand signs. "raiton: heaven's murderous rampage"
a thousand blades of lightning fire through the earth converging under atsuma, then they form a seal matrix underneath him firing five streams into the sky, 'what... a suicide technique... what's his end game? shit gotta save that kid' i dash forward, and slam into the boy just as a onslaught of lightning hurtles into the middle of the seal matrix.
lifting my right arm i attempt to swallow all of the lighning... flesh burning, muscle shredding and bones charing, but through it all i stand firm, knowing i'm the only thing standing between this kid and certain death.
finally the jutsu ends, and i crumple to the ground only to be caught by a strong pair of arms, i look up and standing there is the one who gave me my arm, the toad sage jiriya.
"hey pervert, is the kid..." i start but he cuts me off.
"kid's fine, but you over did it, what the hell were you thinking absorbing a suicide jutsu?" he asks with concern and terror etched on his face.
"just one thing... that by saving this kid, i can be forgiven for the death of his brother, toya... that's why i jumped infront of him old man, i can't stand being seen as the murderer anymore... i just want to be a kid." i respond near tears before finally passing out. never noticing the demonic appearance of my arm.
... time skip one week...
"WHAAAAAAATTT! i don't care if kami herself came down from the heavens i am not being put on a team with sasuke uchiha. nothing you can say can make me team with that son of a bitch." i continue my tirade, of obscenities.
"would it make it better if i told you kakashi is the sensei? and atsuma is the other member?" jiji prompts stopping me mid insult.
"actually yeah it would... fine but only to keep an eye on atsuma, and to make sure kakashi shows up on time." i say after much thought, besides it might be usful to have a group watching my back for once.
"glad to hear it, your team is being announce at the academy right now." the old man says with a smirk.
"what... you already had me chalked down on the team... thats low jiji." i pout.
"ninja" i hear his response before dashing from the hokages tower.
during my week of recuperation after the mizuki incident, atsuma came to my hospital room to ask my forgivness, stating he had no idea his brother had made an attempt on my life. but was shocked when i had ask for his forgiveness for killing his brother.
since that day we had become instant friends, launching to each others defense, we were hardly seen apart. and now i was leaping through the window of the academy class my new brother was sitting in, "team seven is sasuke uchiha, atsuma kogeki and.." iruka was reading off the list as i crash trough, "ah just in time naruto, now as i was saying... sasuke uchiha, atsuma kogeki, and naruto namakaze." i take a seat next to atsuma who knuckle bumps me, as he continues.
(AN: teams same as canon aside from seven)
one hour later and we are the only team left in here, "so atsuma how did you pass, in the meeting with jiji you said you failed?" i ask just looking over, ignoring kakashi's signiture in the front cornor of the room, though i shoot him a discreet hand signal that aknowledges his prescence.
"oh yeah that... well, in a secondary evaluation that the hokage ordered i was able to top out with barely enough points to pass... though it may have been because i'm now able to use a better version of the clone jutsu... se my main problem was i had so much chakra... and so little control. that hyuuga in our class i've always had around a low chunin amount of chakra... though a couple years ago it grew for some unknown reason." he responds slightly embaressed.
"hmmm, and here i thought it was because you managed to create some unique jutsu that konoha couldn't live without." i say.
"well..."
"spill it."
"ok... remeber the incident with that raiton jutsu?" he asks. i nod, "i was able to create a less taxing version of it, the raiton: heaven's descending rampage. though it takes almost all of my chakra to use, so it's only a last resort. the hokage ranked it an s rank raito jutsu."
"holy shit jiji, lets you use an s rank jutsu, that you created off the premise of a ss rank suicide technique? then why the fuck doesn't he let my use meteor rain?" i pout.
"hahaha, that's because that sss rank technique of yours destroyes entire battlefields ototo." say kakashi's voice from the teacher's desk. where he appears with his feet on the desk and an orange book in his hands.
"well then if your all over your shock meet me on the roof." he says as he disappears in a puff of smoke.
"this outta be fun." mutters a slightly less emo uchiha than i had expected. perhaps the file i had been givin on him had been wrong, that is something to keep an eye out for.
...AN: well there we go my response to a challange i saw that looked amazing. naruto with atsuma's ability to negate and absorb energy... in this case chakra. let me know what you think and if you guys want more. i'll make a second chapter. anyway later fellow authors
