A/n: Ok, here is another story, and I hope you all enjoy it.
My Harry Potter story is still going on.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Inuyasha.
Chapter 1.
A young boy with spiky blonde hair, sapphire blue eyes and three whisker marks on each cheek, who was no older than six was running from what looked like an angry mob chasing him for reasons unknown. They were shouting things like "Die demon" and "we are going to finish what the Yondaime started."
The boy was scared, and was running as fast as his tiny legs could. All the while he was thinking 'what did I ever do to deserve this? All I did was accidentally bump into someone, and I even apologized to him. Maybe if I leave the village they will go away, after all, they always say they don't want me there.'
So with this thought, a young Uzumaki Naruto, ran towards the gate, and since the guards were goofing off again, the young boy quickly ran past them, but before he could get too far from the gate, he tripped and fell to the ground.
Before he could get up, the mob closed in on him, and then the beating began. He was punched, kicked, and the mob pulled things like kunai out and started to stab him.
Before young Naruto lost consciousness, the last thing he saw was seeing a man pull back his knife, and say "Time to die demon scum." Three hours later, the mob stopped the beating and yet young Naruto was still alive.
The crowd, not knowing that he was still alive, had some chuunin who hated the boy pick him up and run away from the village, with the crowd following, hoping to beat him some more, despite the fact that they believed he died.
Ten Miles from Konoha…
The chuunin stopped their run and unceremoniously dropped the boy to the ground.
The crowd caught up to them and started to stab the poor boy some more.
Ten minutes later…
A group of seven people were coming towards the clearing; the mob was in, not knowing they were there.
The first person was wearing pieces of samurai armor, with a blue chest plate and black armor on his shoulders and had red shorts. He stood an amazing fourteen feet tall and had messy light green hair. He also had strange marks under his eyes that meant: power.
His name was Kyokotsu.
The next person was a girl, who was wearing a pink kimono, with pictures of what looked like grass on it. She was also wearing a purple scarf, and classic sandals. She was holding a large, blade that looked like a machete, with several linking blades that looked like they could be unpredictable if the sword was swung. She stood at six feet three inches, and had messy raven hair that was slightly tied up in the back. She also had two purple marks, one on each cheek that resembled snake fangs. The marks meant: death.
Her name was Jakotsu.
The third member was dressed as a chef. He was a short, fat person, who stood at least three feet tall. He was very ugly, and had four marks on his face. One going the side of each of his cheeks, and another two going down his bottom lips, reaching his chin. The marks meant: poison.
His name was Mukotsu.
The fourth member was well armed. He had five disc blades on his back that could return to their slots when thrown. He also had a katana on his left side, wires to prevent an enemy from moving, a grappler to pull enemy's to him, or scathe them, a cannon that was on his left shoulder, and acted as rockets. His right eye was replaced with a metal plate, and he had a metal mouth. He stood at six feet eight inches, and was covered almost completely in samurai armor. He had messy orange hair. On his left eye was a blue mark that means: protection.
His name was Ginkotsu.
The fifth member stood at six feet five inches and had his hair completely covered in a light blue cloth. He was dressed in light blue clothes, and had orange samurai armor on him. He also had a dark blue cloth on each of his arms that went from his hands to his mid-elbow. He had a purple sash on his waist. He had a calabash bottle tied to his waist, and hooked wires on his hands, and bombs, cannons and other artillery around him. He is also a gifted strategist. He had two purple marks, one going down his each of his eyes and cheeks. The marks meant: deception.
His name is Renkotsu.
The sixth member is six feet six inches, and was dressed in blue and covered in black armor with a green sash around his waist. He had spiky black hair, and had a hand claw, one on each hand, with exceptionally long blades. He had two personalities, one of which was a kind doctor, who was loved and respected by villagers, and the other personality was evil, and bloodthirsty, and is emerged when he is exposed to a great amount of violence and blood. He has six green marks on his face, two of which go down his forehead and reach his nose, the other four, two on each cheek, go around the cheeks until the reach his nose. The marks mean: rage.
His name is Suikotsu.
The seventh and last member was easily the most powerful out of all of them, and is often referred to as 'great big brother' because he is the strongest, and is the founder of the group, despite the fact he is the youngest, of them all. He is five feet five inches, and carries a giant double-edged broadsword, that is possibly as tall, if not taller than him, and he calls the sword Banryu. He wears a white uniform, that is covered from his left shoulder, to his upper chest. He also has what pictures of what appear to be trees occasionally appearing on his armor, and has black arm guards on his hands that reach his mid-elbow. He has an orange sash around his waist. He has messy raven colored hair. He has a small purple cross on his forehead, that means: youth.
His name is Bankotsu, leader of the Band of Seven.
As they were walking towards the clearing, they begin to hear what sounds like people beating something up. Curiosity getting the better of him, Bankotsu checks it out, and is slightly surprised to see a mob of people beating a young child.
"You know, I don't think that grown men, should beat up a little kid. What are you, weak cowards?" Bankotsu asked as he walked towards them.
The mob stopped what it was doing and backed away from the man, as they can feel he is no pushover. But one of them, a very dumb idiot, spoke up.
"We are ridding the world of this demon scum!" The idiot shouted proudly.
"Well let's take a look at it shall we." Bankotsu told them as he walked over and rolled over the kid and took a good look at the kid's face, when he suddenly froze.
'No way! He looks just like Minato. Wait a second, is he her kid?' Bankotsu wondered as he opened the kid's eye and almost gasped when he saw them.
Bankotsu was almost overcome with emotions. Happiness that the kid might be who he thinks it is, and anger at the people for hurting him.
'If this is who I think it is, then he should be her son.' As Bankotsu pondered this, the same villager from before spoke up.
"You see! He is a demon and must be killed!" He yelled, but that was the wrong thing to say.
Bankotsu, filled with anger, lifted Banryu, with one hand, and with an amazing display of strength, turned around and cut the man in half, and watched in satisfaction as the man's organs spilled out.
The crowd was startled that this man was defending the 'demon brat', but didn't have time to ponder because Bankotsu rushed towards them, and swung his sword at the stupid villagers.
In a few minutes all of the chuunin and the villagers were dead, and Bankotsu was covered in their blood, when the rest of the Band of Seven came to him wondering what all of the commotion was about.
"Big brother, why did you kill all of these people, and not invite us?" Renkotsu asked.
"These people were harming this kid." Bankotsu told them, anger coming off of him in waves.
"Why do you care? You have never cared about kids before." Ginkotsu asked him.
Before Bankotsu could answer him, a group of people in animal masks, being led by an old man in black battle armor appeared and surrounded them.
The old man looked at the carnage before him and frowned.
"Hey old man." Bankotsu greeted the aged Hokage.
"Bankotsu, it's been awhile." Sarutobi told him.
"Enough with the pleasantries. Tell me, why were villagers beating a little kid and calling him a demon?" Bankotsu asked as he walked towards Naruto.
Sarutobi was scared now. He knew that in his old age, Bankotsu could kill him, and it didn't help that the rest of the Band of Seven was also there.
"Well Bankotsu, six years ago the Kyuubi no Kitsune attacked Konoha, and killed many of our shinobi. The Yondaime, knowing that the Kyuubi could not be defeated by ordinary means, sealed it into Naruto at the cost of his own life. His last words were that he wanted Naruto to be viewed as a hero, but the villagers ignored this request and viewed Naruto as the demon reborn." Sarutobi told him.
"Now tell me, who are this kid's parents?" Bankotsu asked him.
Sarutobi was silently praying to all of the god's out their that Bankotsu would not turn his anger towards them. So, with great fear, Sarutobi told him.
"His father's name was Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage and his mother's name was Uzumaki Kushina." Sarutobi told him surprising the ANBU with him.
"What?! Your entire village has been beating my nephew?! What about Kushina? What happened to my sister?!" Bankotsu yelled, the anger coming off of him strong enough to make some of the ANBU shake.
"She was weakened by childbirth, and while she was weak, Haruno Yasha entered her room and killed her. She was angry that Minato married Kushina and not her. Yasha wanted to marry Minato in order to gain social, and political status, and to get her hands on the Namikaze Clans vast wealth. When Minato married Kushina, Yasha was outraged and even hired assassins to kill Kushina. Neither Minato nor Kushina ever found out it was her sending assassins. When I was running to face the Kyuubi, I caught a glimpse of Yasha in Kushina's hospital room, but I never had evidence to back up my claim on Yasha." Sarutobi said sadly.
Bankotsu was beyond outraged. The killing intent coming off of him made all of the ANBU get on their knees and try to not to shake. Most of the ANBU never felt this terrified before, and one teenager in a weasel mask felt like he would drop dead at any second. But Sarutobi looked like he still had some things to say.
"Fortunately, Yasha was unable to locate Naruto at the time, so he was spared, however she did participate in his numerous beatings, believing him to be the demon, but she always escaped before I could arrest her. I was only able to capture her once, but my former teammates and Danzo saved her claiming that as a member of the council, she could not be executed unless it was pure treason." Sarutobi told him.
Bankotsu really wanted to go to Konoha and kill everyone he saw, especially Danzo, the Sandaime's former teammates, and he definitely wanted to butcher Yasha in order to avenge his sister's death.
"Suikotsu! Take care of Naruto's injuries. The old man and me have some things to discuss. Does Naruto have at least someone among the council to help him?" Bankotsu asked, as he tried to control his anger.
"Fortunately yes. He has the Aburame, Hyuga, Akimichi, Nara, and Yamanaka clans supporting him, while the Uchiha, and Haruno clans oppose him. My former teammates and Danzo also oppose him along with the rest of the village representatives on the council. However, the Inuzuka clan is neutral in this." Sarutobi told him.
"Why is the Inuzuka clan neutral?" Bankotsu asked, rather relieved that his nephew had some supporters.
"Well, although the Inuzuka clan can tell that Naruto is not the Kyuubi, their dog senses tell them otherwise, because Naruto always has the scent of fox on him, and dogs and foxes have never seemed to get along." Sarutobi told him.
"Well, is their any villager that views Naruto as a hero?" Bankotsu asked him, hoping someone knows his nephew is a hero.
"Well, the Ichiraku family views Naruto as a hero, and there are at least three Uchiha's who view him as a hero. There is also a Chunin named Umino Iruka who believes that Naruto is a hero, despite the fact he knows the Kyuubi killed his parents. The Higurashi family also believes that he is a hero, and in case you are wondering, they make some of our village's finest weapons. But there are few villagers who respect Naruto." Sarutobi told him.
"Wait, I thought you said the Uchiha clan hated Naruto?" Bankotsu asked, a little surprised that there were some Uchiha's who viewed Naruto as a hero.
"Not all of the Uchiha's hate Naruto. The names of the Uchiha that respect Naruto are Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Mikoto who is the wife of the clan head, and Uchiha Itachi who is the oldest son of Mikoto. Uchiha Sasuke, the younger brother of Itachi is too young to know about Kyuubi, since I made a law, forbidding people to talk about it under penalty of death without a trial." Sarutobi informed him.
"That's good, but what are you going to do about Yasha? If you can't arrest her, can you at least replace her with another Haruno on the council?" Bankotsu asked.
Sarutobi pondered this. It was possible since the rest of the clan heads hated her.
"It might be possible since the other clan heads hate her." Sarutobi told him smiling
"Why do they hate her?" Bankotsu asked knowing he would enjoy this.
"Well, she called the Aburame clan a clan of freaks, with Shibi being the biggest freak, since he was clan head. She called the Akimichi clan a bunch of overly fat, good for nothing pigs. She called the Yamanaka clan heads five-year-old daughter, an ugly pig, and that she takes after her mother. Fortunately, young Ino wasn't around to hear it. She said the Nara's were just lazy, good for nothing bums. While they are used to being called lazy, Shikaku got outraged when Yasha said that the world would be better off if his wife dropped dead. The Inuzuka clan became angry with her, when she said that the clan members are just like their dogs, in which they smell horrible and should all be killed off. As for the Hyuga, and Uchiha clan heads, she has constantly tried cheating on her husband and tried to seduce Hiashi, and Fugaku, in order for one of them to leave their wife, and pursue her instead, so that she can get her hands on their wealth, but her attempts have always failed. A few weeks ago the clan heads excluding the Haruno decided to get some payback. Although Fugaku hates Naruto, he hates Yasha even more." Sarutobi told him smiling.
"What did they do?" Bankotsu asked eagerly.
"Well, Hiashi sent a Hyuga to temporarily prevent Yasha from speaking. The clan heads made fun her all day. Shibi had several bugs climb over all of Yasha's clothing, even her husband's and daughter's clothes. The Uchiha clan forged her signature and took out a massive amount of money from her bank account. Members of the Akimichi clan broke into her house and at all of her food, and when she went to a restaurant, she was charged outrageous prices. The Inuzuka clan broke into her house the following night and 'marked their territory'. Inoichi took over her body and forced her to walk around the village in her underwear, all the while yelling her undying love for Homura. And Shikaku used his shadow to pull up her underwear and tie it to a tree with her dangling beneath it." Sarutobi told him while laughing while the ANBU especially the weasel and dog masked ANBU had trouble holding in their laughter.
'Oh yeah. I remember that. I bought a lot of pocky that day.' Thought the weasel masked ANBU.
Bankotsu however was laughing as if his life depended on it.
"Oh man, that was great." Bankotsu said as he was struggling to contain his laughter.
After getting his laughter under control, he took a look at Suikotsu, and noticed that Naruto's injuries were healing at a quick rate.
"What will happen to Naruto?" Asked Bankotsu, worried about his nephew.
"We will take him back to the village, where he can resume living." Sarutobi told him.
"What?! I will not allow this Sarutobi! He is my nephew and I will not allow him to go to a village where he will be mistreated everyday! He is coming with me whether you like it or not!" Yelled Bankotsu.
Sarutobi was scared now. He knew he might have to fight Bankotsu in order to bring Naruto back to the village, but he knew there was a good chance that he along with the ANBU would get killed if they had to fight.
"Bankotsu, you can't be serious! It was Minato's and Kushina's wish that Naruto live in Konoha! Naruto even told me that his dream was to be Hokage!" Sarutobi argued.
"I don't care! It would be better if he lived a life where he was a mercenary, instead of living in a village that wants him dead!" Bankotsu argued back.
Before their argument could continue, Naruto was starting to wake up. With a groan, Naruto woke up and the first thing he saw was a bloody mess of what used to be village idiots. With a scared scream, Naruto got up and alerted both groups that he was awake.
"Bankotsu, lets leave Naruto to decide what he wants." Sarutobi offered.
"Alright old man, we'll let Naruto decide." Bankotsu agreed.
Naruto got up and noticed that there were two groups of people they're staring at him. One had the old man, while the other had people he had never seen before.
"Uh, what's going on old man?" Naruto asked getting nervous under the gaze of so many people.
Bankotsu had to hold back a chuckle at how Sarutobi was addressed.
"Well Naruto, these people would like you to travel with them." Sarutobi informed.
"Who are they?" Naruto asked.
"Well Naruto, this is the Band of Seven, a group of extremely powerful mercenaries led by your uncle Bankotsu, who would like you to come with them." Sarutobi told him.
"I have an Uncle?! Why didn't you tell me old man?! And why would they want me? No one has ever wanted me before." Naruto told them both angry and depressed.
"Wait Naruto. No one has adopted you yet?" Bankotsu asked his nephew, surprised that not even one person has adopted him.
"No. They just call me a demon for some reason." Naruto told them, even more depressed.
Bankotsu gave a hard glare to Sarutobi, who felt a pain in his heart.
"Well Naruto, we don't believe you're a demon, and we would like to train you, while we travel the Elemental Nations. What do you say?" Bankotsu asked as he approached Naruto.
"Will I ever see the old man, and come back to my village again?" Naruto asked.
Bankotsu sighed as he answered.
"No Naruto. That village will only abuse you, and try to kill you every chance they get."
"But I can't leave the old man! He has to keep my future seat warm for when I become Hokage!" Naruto yelled.
"This is your choice Naruto. So choose wisely Naruto." Sarutobi told him, hoping Naruto would choose to come with him.
"I don't know. It's either go with the uncle I never knew I had, and abandon my dream, or go with you and, fulfill my dream, and be hated by an entire village for no reason. I just don't know!" Naruto said.
"Hokage-sama, I believe that I have a solution to this that can satisfy both groups." The weasel masked ANBU mentioned.
"I'm listening. What about you two?" Sarutobi asked Naruto, and Bankotsu, who both nodded.
"Well, what if Bankotsu takes Naruto in for seven years, and then bring him back to the village, where he will be strong enough to become Hokage, defend himself, and avenge his mother." The ANBU told them.
"Sounds like a good plan to me, what do you two think?" Sarutobi asked both Bankotsu and Naruto.
"Sounds good to me old man." Naruto told him.
"Same here." Bankotsu told him.
"Very well, Naruto you will travel with your uncle for seven years, and then return to the village." Sarutobi said, happy to avoid conflict.
"Oh yeah!" Bankotsu and Naruto both yelled pumping their fist into the air.
Sarutobi smiled and signaled for his ANBU to leave.
As Sarutobi and his ANBU were jumping from tree to tree, one of the ANBU asked a question that was bothering him.
"Hokage-sama, forgive me for asking, but why didn't we just take Naruto by force?"
"Because if we fought them, we would have been killed. Jakotsu is Sannin level, Bankotsu is Kage level, and the other five are each stronger than five Jounin." Sarutobi replied gravely.
If they weren't wearing masks, then Sarutobi would have seen them pale.
Back With Naruto…
"So, where are we going, and what are you going to teach me first uncle Bankotsu?" Asked an eager Naruto.
"Well, we're going to lightning country first, and while we're there, you're going to be training every day. Your also going to train every day we're traveling, but you get a break today." Bankotsu told him, happy to be with his nephew.
And so Naruto's journey begins.
A/n: Well nine pages long is impressive isn't it? Now I will be working on this and my Harry Potter story. I will only right a maximum number of three stories at a time, and no more, but maybe less. I hope you enjoy this story, and please go to my profile to see stories that I am debating be written or not. If you want any of them to be written, then please tell me. This story will also be a Naruto/Harem, with Hinata, Tenten, Yugito, Kin, and Temari. Please review, and goodbye.
