Prologue
"I am a tool, a weapon to be wielded by someone else, I do not exist and I live only to serve. My purpose is to carry my master's will and mission."
I used to think like that, until well, until I met my father. Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime (Fourth) Hokage (Fire Shadow).
I did not actually meet him, he place a seal on me so I could relieve his memories. Every single moment in his memories felt so right, it went against everything I was taught but it felt so right I experienced things I never knew existed, though some were not for me, I still felt it through my father's memories.
Some things I learned when I was relieving my father's memories were his techniques, fairly he was a well rounded shinobi that excelled in speed among all else. More importantly though I learned I had a family a mother and a twin sister to be exact.
I knew what kind of recruits Leader- I mean Danzo had, most of us were orphans or children that were reported dead.
Oh I forgot to introduce myself, though in ROOT we do not have names, because of my father I now have one, Namikaze Naruto jinchuriki of the Kyubi no Yoko (Nine-Tailed Demon Fox) and The Ultimate Weapon of ROOT.
I never knew anything but the mission and the skills of a shinobi, even though I was a jinchuriki, they still wanted to create the perfect weapon, my Great Grandparents unknown to most was Senju Hashirama and Mito Uzumaki, The Shodai (First) Hokage and The Shodai Jinchuriki of the Kyubi no Yoko respectively.
From them I inherited the Senju's and Konoha's highly revered Bloodline limit, Mokuton (Wood Release) the ability to manipulate trees and suppress demonic chakra. Uzumaki's naturally had enormous amounts of chakra and stamina only to be increased by the Kyubi's presence.
I had a powerful grasp over Mokuton, though I was never praised Danzo mentioned my Mokuton abilities Rival the Shodai Hokage's before his death.
I had these abilities and I was still not enough so during the visit of the Cloud Ambassador, Danzo did some investigation, knowing the ulterior motives of the Kumo (Cloud), though that was not why he was interested in the Ambassador rather Danzo was interested in the unique abilities the Ambassador possessed.
The Cloud Ambassador had a special bloodline limit, Ranton (Storm Release) the ability to manipulate Electricity to flow like Water and create black lightning clouds.
With this knowledge, Danzo allowed the Cloud Ambassador to attempt the kidnapping, knowing fully that the Hyuga will not stand by and let it happen, he let his plan unfold as the Ambassador was killed when he was attempting to escape with his spoils by a Hyuga. The Body was taken by ROOT shinobi and experimented on to integrate his abilities as my own.
They eventually succeeded in their experiments, though they wouldn't have if it weren't for my inhuman regenerative speed. I honed my abilities with my new bloodline limit, it was extremely difficult as it was not my original bloodline and my body was not supposed to have such abilities, the Kyubi's power or more specifically its regenerative powers integrated it into my body to an extent where one would think that it was my own.
A few years onwards, an event that would change Konoha and The Five Great Elemental Nations forever happened. The Uchiha Massacre, though only The Sandaime (Third) Hokage, The Councillors and Danzo knew the truth of the dark event. I was able to understand what really happened, as it was basically fixing a puzzle, as Uchiha Itachi, the perpetrator of the massacre, was more loyal and dedicated to the village than his own Clan. The Uchiha's we're also planning on a coup d'état as their power over the village was waning. The final piece of the puzzle was that Itachi was a pacifist, always trying to avoid confrontation, as a coup would lead the village to disarray and eventual civil war, it would be the best course of action would be removing the threat as it costs less lives.
A mystery to me though, was why Itachi allowed his siblings to live. Uchiha Sasuke and Satsuki twin siblings of Uchiha Itachi. They would be an eventual threat to the village as they would not be mentally stable to handle the emotional stress of their very own brother killing everyone in their clan.
Though that is besides the point of why I am speaking of the Uchiha Clan, I speak of it because of the night of the massacre, Danzo sent his ROOT operatives to retrieve the eyes of the Uchiha that had the Sharingan (Copy Eye Wheel).
Danzo had the most special eyes, the eyes of Uchiha Shisui, which he had transplanted into my own. Shisui's Eyes had a special ability; he could manipulate other people by simply gaining eye contact with them, with or without the Sharingan. I copied that technique, along with a hundred of others shown to me by other ROOT members and opponents I faced in missions.
I had now three Bloodline Limits, Mokuton, Ranton and Sharingan; still I was not enough to be the weapon the sought out me to be. They took me out of the village to train on how to control the Kyubi's Chakra. When I was learning on how to hone my abilities with the fox I lost control of it, the bloodlust you would feel when the Kyubi would give you access to all the chakra was overwhelming and it overwhelmed me but my father placed a seal, as he predicted something like this would happen and he appeared before me.
"Life of a shinobi is difficult, but understanding what it means to be a shinobi is even more difficult"
That's what he told me, at first I didn't understand as I was raised as a tool, a weapon. Then he showed me his memories, every single moment, until his dying day. From seeing my unknown Grandparents at birth and seeing them killed when my father was five.
My father was a born genius of Fuinjutsu (Sealing Techniques). He went to Konohagakure to be a shinobi. It was peace time then as such it was more lax in its academy, he also trained after beyond what the academy gave him, it was Fuinjutsu.
He was also gifted with such raw speed that he could out run a ninja doing Shunshin (Body Flicker). During his ninja days it was a lot of blood and gore, similar to what I would see in my daily life. He also lost his best friend in a mission which made excruciating pain overwhelm my eyes.
My father later met my mother, who was the Nidaime Jinchuriki of the Kyubi, and saved her from Kumo Kidnappers, they also fell in love that soon afterward where my father became Yondaime Hokage and secretly married my mother.
The last moments of my father were not a pretty one as he was fighting to the death against a Biju, the strongest one no less, but what intrigued me was who he fought before that, the one who was the actual perpetrator of the attack a man with a spiralling orange mask with an eye hole for his right eye. He had the power to control the Kyubi, which was strange as only two people in history could control Biju.
When my father sealed the Kyubi in me, it was a risk as he did not have enough chakra since the battle with the masked man drained his considerably. Things seemed lost for my father when he attempted sealing the Kyubi into me that was until my mother arrived and aided in the sealing as an Uzumaki, she had special chakra that could subdue Biju to an extent.
As they we're sealing the Kyubi into me my father knew he could not seal the beast into only me as the strain of continuing the sealing would kill him and my mother, they instead used my sister and continued the sealing, that way the Yin Chakra of the Kyubi was sealed into me as the Yang Chakra was sealed into my sister.
I had also met the Kyubi, a very sinister and cunning being, though like all Biju (Tailed Beasts). He had Pride, an extremely large sense of pride he could not be represented in such a weak way in front of his "Siblings" the other Biju. He gifted me with a very ancient art lost in time that only it knew the ability to control the by-product of destruction, this was Ash. Haiton (Ash Release) was the art of controlling Ash, the only product of destruction, in such a way where I could shape it in any way I would want as long the necessary amount of ash was present, and also the Kyubi controlled another portion of ash which would come to my defence when danger was recognised.
I am Namikaze Naruto.
"Stay away you demon!"
"Keep away from her she's trouble"
"I do not serve demons"
"Stay out demon!"
That's what the village thinks of me. They call me a demon I do know why, they all hate me for the same reason, I am the jinchuriki of the Kyubi no Yoko or at least half of it from what I know and they can't see past that at least they're some people who are nice to me.
Only few people are nice to me, I could count them with both hands too.
First there was Hokage-jiji, the leader of the village's shinobi. They said he was very strong and still is though I seeing the strongest ninja in the village defeated by paperwork makes me doubt it.
The old man was very nice to me as he gave me an apartment after I was kicked out of the orphanage and when people would try to hurt me he would try to hurt me his ninjas would come and help me, he also gave me allowance as I really didn't have any income as I was an orphan outside the orphanage and nobody would ever spare anything for me.
Though one night Hokage-jiji let me in his house as a guest and I met this man who was apparently the Hokage's son, his name was Sarutobi Asuma and he would be my first sensei, when they found out I had a Wind, Earth and Water Affinity, they wanted me to train to be the best like my 'Father'.
Father, My father, the day I would discover who he is and what I hold would be one of the days that would be imprinted into my mind forever.
*Flashback*
I was training all day trying to cut that leaf in half with only my chakra and I only managed a small cut 'Pathetic' I mentally berated myself.
"That was great Naomi nobody even manages a cut on their first week." I received praise from a man in his 20s he had brown eyes, short black spiked hair and beard. He also wore the standard Konoha ninja uniform complete with a flak jacket, regular shinobi sandals and a forehead protector. He also wore a white sash with the Kanji for "Fire" on it.
"But it doesn't look much Asuma-sensei." I said sadly. 'If I could only make a small cut on a leaf, how could I ever be a great kunoichi?' I though sadly
"Remember Naomi, it takes years for many to master Wind Manipulation" Asuma explained to me.
"Yeah I know, but then there's still Earth and Water Manipulation, how can I do all of that?" I whined.
"Hmm" Asuma mumbled in deep thought 'I wonder...worth a shot' Asuma thought
"Hey, Naomi I'm going to get something that might help you with that" Asuma informed as my eyes glowed from excitement.
'A way to speed up training, I wonder if it's a cool jutsu or a...' Naomi thought excitedly.
Asuma left as I continued thinking of what he may bring, he never really showed me anything besides the Tree Walking and Water Walking exercise which I learned from the old man, now he was getting me something new besides cutting a leaf with chakra.
I entered the Sarutobi estate to see what I could do in there, there really wasn't much to do in there as the house maids clearly avoid me and had to pamper Konohamaru the 'Honourable Grandson'.
I continued wandering in the house with no particular aim as I was still waiting for Asuma-sensei to return with his 'bag of candies' or whatever he would bring back to help my training, a bag of candies might help... I think.
I slowly wandered into the house until I reached a door, not just any door but the door to the office of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sandaime Hokage. 'The old man's office...? Might as well check it out, he's not here anyways' I pondered as I approached the door and opened it.
What I saw was not what I was expecting, what was I expecting you ask? I was expecting something grand and magnificent something like weapons from around the world or even figurines of great shinobi or even maybe jutsu scrolls. No that is not what I saw.
Paperwork, that's all I saw, mountains of it, some on it was even on the floor, I could barely move a step without stepping on one 'damn old man, if this is what Hokage's do I might reconsider my dreams' I though and chuckled to herself.
I really wasn't sure what to do here, well, until I found something intriguing. 'Hmm, what's this?' I thought as I saw a letter on the floor with my name on it and someone else named 'Naruto'. I pondered if I should open the letter, most things that are in the Hokage's Office would be top secret but he just left this on the floor, so it should be okay... I think.
I opened the letter as it read out:
Naruto and Naomi,
If either of you are reading this than it must mean that Sarutobi must have deemed you ready for what you are about to know. This scroll will be the only message that I can leave you as by the time you do read it I will be long dead.
My name is Namikaze Minato, though you would probably know me as the Yondaime Hokage. Now know this I must first apologize to you both for the burden I left with you. In case you are not aware, I did not kill the Kyubi, I merely sealed it into two babies, my son Naruto who holds the Yin half of the Kyubi's chakra and my daughter Naomi who holds the Yang chakra of the Kyubi. . I am sorry to have left with such a burden, but the only person I could ever truly trust was my own family, my own flesh and blood.
Naruto, Naomi, I am your father. Please know that your parents did not abandon you, we died protecting the village so you and many others could see the light of another day. I am truly sorry as me and your mother died before we could ever see you grow up.
As a final message from us, I and your father know that we both loved you both very deeply and your parents never abandoned either of you.
Yours Truly
Namikaze Minato
P.S. I wrote the last part, I'm your mother by the way, Uzumaki Kushina, dattebane!
My eyes were burning with tears now, with the new information coursing through my head. My father was the Yondaime Hokage and sealed the Kyubi in me, well half of it anyways.
'no wonder the villagers hate me' I thought to myself sadly 'well'..."I guess I have to prove them wrong then!" I thought out loud.
Even though I said that my mind was still processing the new information still, another piece of information stood out clearly 'Naruto...' my brother, I had a twin brother! Where was he then? Wouldn't he be here for his imouto (little sister)?
'Did he abandon me' I thought 'No he wouldn't, I know, my brother would never do that!' I thought to myself. My brother, my twin brother would never leave his only sister, I just knew that I believed in that. 'That would only mean he would be dead...'I thought 'no he can't be dead, he just can't be, I... I would know if he was... he's not dead!' I ranted at myself.
Suddenly I heard footsteps coming through the hallway...I hurried out as quietly as I could possibly can and swore to myself to- 'I will find my brother, he's out there I know it!'- find my brother.
*End Flashback*
Nobody ever knew what happened that day; at least I think nobody knew of it. I certainly believed that no one knew of it so I don't plan on changing that either. Ever since then, I trained for two reasons, to protect everyone I cared for and to find my brother and drag his ass back here where ever he was.
Asuma-sensei had an awesome surprise that day too, it was a super awesome clone jutsu, the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. It's awesome because the clones were solid, they could fight and take a few hits but the most awesome part was the fact that I would learn everything they would learn and it makes boring studying so much easier.
With Kage Bunshin, I mastered wind manipulation under half a year which he said it should've taken at least quintuple the time with my young age. Wind manipulation was also the hardest of all the elements and also with only few shinobi with Wind affinity it only makes it more difficult to master it. Eventually Asuma-sensei gave me a pair Triple-Bladed Claws (1) and taught me his Fighting Style, the Flying Swallow; it's a style where one channels there chakra through a weapon preferably one made of chakra enhanced metal and sharpen the blades and even extend their reach.
Besides from The Old man and Asuma-sensei, were the people who work at the Ichiraku Ramen Bar they were the only place who would let me eat without giving me rotten food or cold stares. They were nice people too, I could talk to them about anything too and they were the nicest people around, next to the Hokage and Asuma-sensei.
The Ramen chef was an old man named Teuchi and he also had a daughter Ayame who was the Waitress. They are always nice to me; they even give me free food sometime even though I can pay, though I wonder if the amount of Ramen I eat over there affected their choice. I eat twenty bowls of ramen every time I go there, I wonder if it's normal for others. Hmm, nah doesn't really matter at least they were nice and that's good enough.
I am Uzumaki Naomi.
A.N.:
(1)-Triple-Bladed Claws, just like the one Sora, a pseudo-jinchuriki, had in a Shippuden Filler Arc.
