Karafuru
Chapter 1
Before the chapter starts, I should explain some things.
1. This is my first fan fiction, so constructive reviews are appreciated, but flames aren't.
2. This universe is set around 200 years after the end of Naruto Shippuden.
3. In this universe, Naruto and a few other protagonists went bad, so the universe is a lot different. The reasons for this will be explained later.
4. Most of these characters I made up, but some are canon characters. There's new villages, clans, doujutsu, and jutsus.
5. I'll try to upload two chapters a week, so yeah.
ENJOY!!!!!
Disclaimer: I own the plot, but not the rights to the Naruto universe.
In the Village Hidden By The Stars
"Kaz! Get down from there!" shouted Kaz's sensei, Nick. "Coming!". Kaz yelled back. Sliding down the statue he was sitting on, the brown-haired youth ran up to Nick, only to have his ear pulled painfully. "Listen carefully Kazama Karafuru, the chúnin exams are coming up soon, and your team is depending on you." Nick said forcefully.
At 6'1", Kazama's sensei towered over him. "I know, I know, Mizuki already threatened me enough today. She said she'd castrate me if I failed, and I don't even know what that means!" He whines.
At 4'9", Kazama was especially short for his age, hell, even Mizuki was taller than him! Kazama had brown curls on top of his head, and purple eyes. His dark skin was a huge contrast to his outfit. White cargo shorts and a tan T-shirt covered by his greatly oversized jacket. To this day, no one could figure out why he loved that thing so much.
Nick flushed. 'That girl can be so brash sometimes.' He thought to himself. "Well, maybe you should listen to her, Mizuki and Lucas are counting on you. If you don't enter the chúnin exams, they can't either." Kaz sighed, "I know, but what if we aren't ready? I haven't even awakened my clan's bloodline yet." Kazama was an outstanding genin. He already knew his elemental affiliation (Water), was making great progress in his taijustu style (Flashing Fist), and was quickly learning new ninjustus everyday. Overall, he was the perfect example of a genin, except for his bloodline.
"This again? You don't need that to win Kazama," Nick sighed, "It doesn't matter right know anyway, just take the form and fill it out please?" Kazama held out his hand, his sleeve falling of his hand as he did so. He took the form, looking once more at his sensei, left the town square, and down the streets to his home.
--Is this how pagebreak thingies work?--
Kazama pushed open the door to his home, and closed it behind him. Reaching over too his left, he turned on the light, illuminating the dark living room. He sighed, and set the form on the table. Kaz walked over to his couch, and sat down. He reached a hand forward, and turned on the television. "Today, a new group of mercenaries has been listed in the Bingo Book by the 7 villages. The group, dubbed, the Plaga, has 14 members. Their identities are unknown, but all are ANBU rank, with their strongest members rumored to be Kage level. Apparently, they were added to the Bingo Book after they sent a letter to the Kage of the Sunagakure saying they would sabotage he chúnin exams." Kazama heard none of this, as he had fallen asleep on the couch long ago.
(Flashback)
"Why!!?!? Why did you do this?!?" A young Kazama shouted. The figure did not answer the crying child, instead looking at the burning compound around them. Bodies littered the ground, and Kazama was the only one left. One of the people spoke in a deep voice, "We said we wouldn't hurt you, we said nothing about your clan. We will return later, and if you still haven't awakened your clans bloodline then, we will do whatever we think is necessary.". The group walked away silently, almost remorseful, and left Kazama on the ground, crying over how easily he'd been tricked.
(End Flahsback)
Lucas walked up the steps to his friends house, only to see him asleep on the couch, the TV left on. He mentally sighed, and turned off the television, just as the news lady was saying "-of the Otsutsuki clan hav-.". 'That's enough out of you.' Lucas thought, smiling slightly to himself. He walked over to his teammate, and started to flick the boy awake.
"Hey, wake up loser." Lucas kept flicking his teammates head. "Cmon, I want to spar, and Mizuki is being a bitch." This, Kazama woke up for, he sat up quickly and punched Lucas in the shoulder. "No swearing." He said. Lucas looked at him with an incredulous look, then shrugged, and walked over to the door. "Whatever, lets just go spar, it's only sundown.". He walked out the door, Kazama in tow.
They walked through the streets, the buildings casting shadows over the streets. The sky looked red in the dying light. Kazama looked up at his teammate.
Lucas had raven hair, and always wore sunglasses. He had on a black t-shirt, and a belt covering his waist. He wore blue shorts, that matched his eyes. Like most people, he was taller than Kazama, at 5'6".
They reached training field 47, The Crater, a forest in a crater. "Ready to lose again Kaz?" Lucas asked cockily. Kazama scoffed, "You know we're tied Lucas, 46-46." Lucas's smile only seemed to grow, annoying Kazama. "Let's fix that shall we? We'll make a bet, you win, I won't swear for a week. I win, you do something that I want for a week." Kazama nodded, and then lunged at Lucas.
He aimed a kick at his head. Lucas dodged, and brought up a palm full of lighting in his hand. "Shogeki-kyu! (Shock Sphere.)" The attack hit Kazama in the leg, however, instead of being shocked, he dissolved into water. 'A water clone?!?' Lucas thought. "My turn!" Kazama shouted from above him. "Haidorakkusu! (Hydro Ax)" Kazama smashed the axe-shaped water down on Lucas's head, sending him flying. Crashing into a tree, he groaned, and slowly got up.
"Nice one." He grinned, "But I've got something better.". Lucas took off his sunglasses, and looked Kazama in the eye, "Han-Kage! (Semi-Shadow)" Kazama gasped, and looked down, only to see the world falling into darkness below him. He tried canceling the genjustu, but he couldn't. Lucas ran up to him why'll the boy was trapped, and pinned in. Holding a Kunai to his neck, "I win!" He shouted gleefully. He cancelled he genjustsu, and smiled down at Kazama. Kazama sighed, "Okay, what do you want?". Lucas got up, tapped his chin, in a thinking pose. "Well, you're always anti-social, he Mitsuki will at least high five me. How about, you have to give me one hug every day.".
After Kazama's meltdown over this, the duo said their goodbye and went home.
Howeve, neither noticed the figure standing on the hilltop that had been watching. 'Hmm... it seems like he still hasn't awakened his bloodline, we'll just have to fix that.'.
End
Well, what did ya think????
Anyway, a few notes real quick:
1. Shogeki-kyu is basically a ball of lighting that acts like a taser.
2. Haidorakkusu is just water hardened into an ax, very useful for cutting down opponents
3. The genjustu Lucas used causes the victim to see he world overtaken by shadows, Genjustu is Lucas's specialty.
4. Before anyone asks, yes, Kazama is orphaned.
5. The Plaga is akin to the Aktsuki, but I have completely new characters and ideas for them.
6. Kazama taijustu style, Flashing Fist, involves faking your opponents out with kicks and feint attacks, then surprising them with a hard punch.
That's about it really, the next chapter will be longer, so just enjoy this one. The next chapter should be out sometime tomorrow!-Caleb
