Chapter 1
The third hokage was sitting in his office gently rocking a cradle and doing paperwork at the same time. In the cradle slept a baby boy with blond hair and three whisker-like marks in each of his cheeks. After a while there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," the hokage said.
The door opened and his secretary looked in.
"Hokage-sama. There's someone here to see you," the secretary stated.
"Bring him in," the third said.
The secretary nodded and opened the door to let a man wearing a black hooded cape into the office. The third motioned him to take a seat on the chair in front of his desk. The man sat down and took off his hood to reveal dark purple shoulder length hair. His headband had a symbol of a water drop over a wave. The third looked at him.
"How can I help you?" he asked the man.
The man gave a small bow.
"My name is Tenma Kaito. I come from a village called Umikagure. The village hidden under water. And my village would like to establish an alliance with Konoha," the man said.
The third looked at the man for awhile.
"What would Konoha benefit from this alliance?" he asked.
"Well our village is specialized in inner spirits, element control and one special seal," Tenma told the hokage.
"You mean you seal spirits into every ninja?" the third asked confused.
"No," Tenma laughed. "We let the people pick if they want a spirit or not and we also let them pick the spirit themselves. The nin and the spirit share the body. And if the spirit wants it can leave the body for awhile," he explained.
"I see. What kind of seal are you talking about?" the hokage asked.
"The seal we are specialized is for missing nins in our village. If one of our nins leaves the village without permission the seal is activated and his power is cut in half and every ten months that is cut half. Unless they return to the village," Tenma explained.
"Sounds useful. What about this element control?" the third asked.
"That is our villages pride. I can show you. Do you have some water?" Tenma asked.
Third looked at Tenma confused but placed a pitcher full of water on the table.
"Watch," Tenma said and concentrated on the water inside the pitcher.
After few seconds the water in the pitcher rushed out and started to swirl around Tenma in a thin line.
"Every nin in our village can control the element they have an affinity for," Tenma explained.
"Impressive," the third said smiling.
The water then took the shape of an eagle and landed on Tenma's shoulder.
"We can also change the elements shape," Tenma said.
The hokage looked really impressed now.
"I accept your offer," he said with a smile.
"Great. My village will be pleased to hear this," Tenma said happily and took out a scroll from his cape. "This scroll contains all offered information. It also contains a way to remove the seal and a way to restore the nins strength," he said as he handed the scroll to the third.
"Thank you," the third said as he accepted the scroll. "Could I ask you a favor as our new ally?" he asked with a look of concern in his face.
"What is it?" Tenma asked confused.
Third then turned towards the cradle and took the baby from it. "Could you take and raise this boy?" he asked showing Tenma the baby.
"Where are his parents?" Tenma asked.
"Dead. His mother died from child birth and he's father was the fourth Hokage who sealed Kyuubi inside him. And if he stays in this village he will only get hateful looks from the villagers because they would only see him as the Kyuubi and not as a hero like his father wanted," the third told him.
Tenma looked at the baby and started to think. After about ten minutes of thinking he looked at the baby and smiled.
"Why not. He's cute and I think my wife would love him. Who knows we maybe able to find a way to turn this little guy into a kitsune," Tenma said smiling as he took the baby in his arms.
"That sound great. The boys name is Naruto," the hokage said with a smile.
'Naruto huh. Well welcome to the Kaito family Naruto,' Tenma thought to himself as he looked at the sleeping Naruto in his arms. "By the way would you happen to have any paper? I would like to notify my wife," he asked looking at the old hokage.
The hokage smiled and handed him a peace of paper and a pen. Tenma wrote his message and gave the paper to the water eagle he made earlier. He then told the eagle to give it to his wife. The eagle nodded and flew away.
"The Kyuubi's spirit isn't gonna be a problem in the village. And if the boy gets turned into a kitsune that won't be a problem either. At least in our family," Tenma told the hokage.
"Why's that?" the hokage asked a bit confused.
"Our family isn't exactly human. My wife Miko is a neko. And I'm something called a fallen angel," Tenma explained as he removed the henge he had on revealing pair of black wings on his back.
"I see," the hokage said stunned.
"The only reason I keep this henge on is because no one in the village would understand our appearance," Tenma explained looking a bit sad. He then looked at the clock and noticed that it was 9:15 P.M. "Well I better head back to my village. I got a long flight ahead of me," he said as he headed towards the door after putting his henge back on.
"I wish you good luck with him," the third said with a smile.
"One more question. How old is Naruto?" Tenma asked.
"A little over three weeks. He was born on the day Kyuubi was sealed inside of him. Which is October 10th," Hokage replied.
Tenma nodded with a smile and left. As soon as he got outside he undid his henge and started to fly towards his home village. 'Naruto. I'm sure you'll be happy with my family,' he though to himself when he looked at the sleeping Naruto in his arms.
Two days later
Tenma was walking towards his home. He had just given the Umikage his report of the alliance with Konoha. His house was on the edge of the village.
"Honey, I'm home," Tenma called as he opened his door.
As soon as he had closed the door he was almost knocked over by his wife Miko.
"Welcome home Tenma-kun," she said as she rubbed her head on his chest.
"Good to be home," Tenma replied as he wrapped his other arm around her.
"So, where's Naruto?" Miko asked with sparkly eyes.
"Here," Tenma said as he handed her the sleeping Naruto from his arms.
"He's adorable. How old is he?" Miko asked with a smile and tears in her corners of her eyes.
"Almost four weeks. He's the son of Konohas fourth hokage," Tenma said.
"So, why aren't his parents taking care of him?" Miko asked.
"Dead. Let's sit down and I'll tell you everything I know," Tenma replied as he headed towards the living room and Miko followed him.
After Tenma had told Miko Naruto's story she looked sad and had tears in her eyes.
"Poor little guy," she said while looking at Naruto.
"I know. How's Dark?" Tenma asked.
"Sleeping. He's such a calm baby. I think he's gonna make a good brother for Naruto. And vise versa," Miko answered with a smile.
Just then Naruto woke up and looked at Miko with his ocean blue eyes.
'What beautiful eyes,' Miko thought to herself while smiling to Naruto.
Five years later
"Dark! Naruto! Come here for a sec!" Tenma yelled to his two sons.
Soon a five years old boy with blond spiky hair that had few purple highlights came into the room with a five years old dark purple haired boy that had a scar over his left eye.
"What is it, dad?" asked the blond.
"What did you want with us?" asked the dark purple haired boy.
"I wanted you here because of two things. 1. to find out your chakra affinities and start your element control training and 2. to give you both a weapon," Tenma said to his sons.
"Alright!" both boys yelled in unison.
"Now then..." Tenma began as he took out three pieces of paper. "...this is special chakra paper. Channel some chakra into it and it shows your chakra affinities," Tenma explained as he handed both boys a piece.
The boys looked at each other and started to channel chakra into the paper. Naruto's paper got split in half then the other side got wet and the other burned. Darks paper also got split in half then the other half got wet and the other half turned to ice.
"Okay, Naruto. Your chakra affinities are wind, water and fire. Dark your affinities are wind, water and ice," Tenma said with bride in his voice.
"So, me and Dark have almost the same affinities except for the last one?" Naruto asked.
"Yes. I got to say I'm surprised that you two have three affinities. Most people have only one or two," Tenma said. 'Two same affinities and their only half brothers. If their bond becomes strong enough they are gonna be force to be reckon with,' he thought to himself. "Now then. Let's get you two your partners," he said as he stood up.
Dark and Naruto looked at their father in confusion.
"Dad? I though you said we were going to get weapons not partners," Dark said.
"You are. Your weapons are your partners. These weapons are gonna be like mine," Tenma said as he walked past his sons who walked after him.
After hearing that Naruto and Dark looked excited.
"You mean they can take the shape of any weapon we want?" Naruto asked.
"Yes. But they only have few shapes at first. As you train with them they gain more," Tenma explained.
They came to a room that had a seal on the floor.
"Is everything set Miko-chan?" Tenma asked his wife who was already in the room.
"Yes. Everything's set," she replied.
"Ok. Dark, go stand in the middle of the seal. Your mother and I will do the rest," Tenma said and Dark walked into the middle of the seal.
After he got to the middle his mother started to chant something and the seal glowed. After about five minutes of chanting Miko slammed her hands into the seal.
"WEAPON SUMMONING!!" she yelled and there was a bright flash from the seal and after the light faded Dark was holding dual katanas in his hands.
"Cool!" Naruto said excited.
Dark sheeted his swords and walked out of the seal.
"Your turn Naruto-niisan,(Just so you know Darks older than Naruto by three months)" Dark said to Naruto when he got next to him.
"Right," Naruto said and walked to the middle.
After his mom had chanted about five minutes she again slammed her hands onto the seal.
"WEAPON SUMMONING!!" she yelled and again a bright flash came from the seal.
When the light faded Naruto had two greaves that had a picture of a fox in them on his legs.
"Not a bad weapon. A kick from those can really hurt," their father said.
"So, what's next?" Naruto asked.
"Well your father and I think it's time for you to meet the Kyuubi that's sealed inside you," their mother said.
"How do we do that?" Naruto asked.
"Just sit on the couch and I'll take care of the rest," Miko said as she headed towards the living room.
Naruto sat down to the couch and his mother stood in front of him. She made few hand seals and placed her hand on Naruto's forehead.
"Maindo no jutsu! (Mind jutsu)" she said and hers and Naruto's eyes went lifeless.
Naruto's mindscape
Miko opened her eye and noticed that she was in a sewer like environment. She looked to her side and saw Naruto. She also noticed that she was in her real form.
"Come on Naruto-chan," she said and took Naruto's hand and started to walk.
After a while they reached a gate that had a piece of paper with the word seal in it.
"Ummm... excuse me," Miko called into the cage.
A pair of red eye came to view.
"Well if it isn't my container," came a feminine voice of the Kyuubi(Yes. In this fanfic Kyuubi is a female).
Naruto hid behind his mother.
"H-hello, Kyuubi," Naruto said with a low voice.
"Now, I want to make one thing clear. Kyuubi is only a title. My real name is Kyu," Kyuubi said.
"I was wonder if you could train him. And give him your chakra when he needs it." Miko asked.
"Sure. But I want something in return." Kyu stated.
"What is it?" Miko asked.
"Well this place could be better. So if he could make some changes so I could live here in my human form," Kyu said.
"How do I do that?" asked Naruto who had come from behind his mother.
"Just think of what this place could look like. But you must first make the room and then the furniture," Kyu told Naruto.
"Okay. Ummm... Could you make me a kitsune?" Naruto asked.
"I'll see what I can do. The changes won't show until tomorrow morning," Kyu said.
"Okay. Thanks Kyu-chan," Naruto said happily.
"See you around kid," Kyu said as she went back to sleep.
Naruto and his mom left the mindscape.
Real world
Life came back to Naruto's and Miko's eyes.
"Well now that that's settled how about we eat?" Miko asked.
"Okay," Naruto and Dark said in unison.
After ten minutes everyone is in the table eating.
"Well you two know that next year your gonna start the academy right," Tenma asked them while eating.
"Yeah. We remember," Naruto replied.
"Can't wait," Said Dark.
"Dark. How would you like to have a summoning contract?" Miko asked.
"Sure," Dark answered happily.
"What about me?" Naruto asked.
"Kyu might have a summoning contract. You'll have to ask her when you see her next time," Miko answered.
Naruto looked at his mother happily.
"But you two have to promise that you won't use them until your genins," their father said with a serious voice.
Both Naruto and Dark nodded at that.
That night Darks dream
"Where am I?" Dark asked as he looked around in the darkness.
"Don't be afraid, Dark-sama," came a girls voice.
"Who's there?! Show yourself!" Dark yelled into the darkness.
Soon a boy and a girl that looked around 17 years old came to view. The boy was wearing a black T-shirt, blue jeans and blue ninja sandals. The girl was wearing a blood red dress, black ninja sandals, black biker shorts and green vest.
"Who are you two?" Dark asked.
"I'm Yami and this is my sister Hikari. We're your partners," the boy said.
"You mean your my weapons?" Dark asked.
"Correct," Hikari said.
"So, why am I here?" Dark asked.
"We brought you here so you could train to use us," Yami explained.
"Before we get started take this," Hikari said and handed Dark a paper.
"That paper contains all our current forms. When we gain a new form it's automatically added in there," said Yami.
"Currently there are only two forms. Our human form and the form we were summoned in," Hikari explained.
"Okay. So, shall we get started," Dark asked and Yami and Hikari nodded to him.
Naruto's dream
Naruto found himself standing in front of Kyu's cage.
"Kyu-chan? Are you there?" Naruto asked the cage.
"Yes. I'm here Naruto. But we're not alone," Said Kyu.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"Welcome, Naruto-sama," came a boys voice behind him.
Naruto turned around and saw a boy and a girl around 17 years old. They had the same clothes as Darks but the colors were ocean blue and fire red.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked a bit scared.
"I'm Umi and this is my brother Mizu. We're your partners," the girl said.
"And we're here to train you to use us. Also take this," Mizu said as he handed Naruto a paper.
"That paper contains our forms. Only two are available at the moment. Our summon and Human forms," Umi said.
"So, ready to start training?" Mizu asked.
"Just a sec," Naruto said and turned to Kyu.
"Kyu-chan? Do you have a summon contract?" Naruto asked.
"I do. You want to sign it?" Kyu asked.
"Yes. My brother already got his with Shadow creatures,(Yes. I'm using Duel Monsters as my own summon.)" Naruto said.
"My summons may not be as fancy as them. But foxes are useful. And their cute," Kyu said as a summoning contract flew from the cage. "You have to sign that with blood. And after you've sign it give it back to me," she added.
After Naruto had signed the contract he gave it back to Kyu.
"We need a better place to train," Naruto said as he closed his eyes.
The sewer turned into a big dojo with a kitchen and the cage disappeared. On one of the corners there was a comfortable looking bed.
"This is more like it!" Kyu said.
Naruto turned back to Umi and Mizu.
"Now I'm ready," he said and Umi and Mizu nodded to him.
Six months later
Naruto and Dark were walking along Umikagures shoreline with Umi, Yami, Mizu and Hikari. They were talking and laughing. Suddenly Naruto saw something on the beach.
"What's that?" he asked pointing forward.
Everyone else looked where Naruto was pointing and notice a person laying on the beach face down. They quickly ran to the person and noticed that it was a boy around their age with spiky brunet hair. The boys clothes were all torn and wet. They immediately started to check for any sign of life.
"He's still alive. Just unconscious," Dark said to the others.
"What should we do to him? He's definitely from around here," Naruto said.
"We should bring him home. Mom might be able to help," Naruto said.
"You take his hands, I'll take his legs," Dark said grabbing the boys legs.
About a year later
"Come on you two! We're going to be late!" Dark yelled from the front door.
"We're coming!" came a yell from two rooms and soon Naruto and a boy with spiky brunet hair, red eyes and two blade slashes on his cheek forming a star ran out of the room.
He was wearing a black baseball cap like hat, a white t-shirt, black pants and sandals.
"Took you long enough. Let's go. We don't want to be late on our first day," Dark said as he ran through the door.
"Not my fault that I almost overslept," the brunet boy said running after Dark.
"Wait for me Dark, Scayth," Naruto yelled running after Dark and Scayth.
"WIND BOARD!!" Naruto and Dark yelled in unison as they jumped and two boards made from wind appeared under them and they started to speed towards academy.
"FIRE BOARD!!" Scayth yelled as he jumped and a board made from fire appeared under him and he sped off after Dark and Naruto.
Scayth was the same boy who Naruto and Dark had found on the beach a year back. He didn't have any memory of he past and the only thing he remembered was his name. After considering for awhile Miko had decided to let Scayth live with them. Scayth of course wanted to keep he's real name since it was the only glue about his past that he had. And for some reason he and Dark just couldn't seem to get along with each other.
At the school
"Whew, we made it in time," Dark said getting off his board that disappeared soon after.
"Man Dark. You worry too much," Scayth said getting off his own board which then also disappeared.
"Well, sorry for trying to be on time," Dark said annoyed.
Naruto just sighed getting off his own board making it disappear soon after.
"Can't you two be with out arguing for a day," he asked.
"Don't look at me. He's getting on my nerves," Dark said pointing at Scayth.
"Right back at you wing-boy," Scayth shot back.
Naruto just sighed.
"What classroom are we in?" he asked.
"Room 103," Dark and Scayth said in unison.
"Great. We're in the same classroom," Dark and Scayth just glared at each other and started to walk inside.
'This is going to be a looooooong school year,' Naruto thought to himself.
"It can't be that bad, Naruto-kun," Kyu said inside Naruto's mind.
'Yes it can, Kyu-chan. Yes it can,' Naruto replied and started to walk after Dark and Scayth who we arguing again.
Well that's the end of chapter 1. Chapter 2 coming soon.
