The Raven
Hey guys, Shadowblaze here with my first installment of the Naruto Fanfic, The Raven. It's my first fic so please forgive me for any mistakes and please leave them for me in the comments. Without further ado let's begin our story. NOTE: I do not own Naruto for if I did there would be character creation in Naruto games.
Prologue: Rebirth and New Beginnings"
Our story beginnings on the night of the Kyuubi attack on Konoha. However we shall not focus on the actual battle but instead on the events happening in the backgrounds of the battle. Loud roaring could be heard as the Kyuubi rampaged through the village. "Damn!" thought Jiro as the badly injured ANBU in his arms lost blood." Hold on Sato we're almost there you're going to make it." Said; Jiro.
Things had taken a turn for the worst for the new ANBU in training. Today was the day he was supposed to find his animal mask to mark him as an official ANBU of konoha. However the Kyuubi had attacked the village before he could make his decision. Since he was still a minor at the age of 16 he was tasked with evacuating the villagers to a safe zone. However, while searching for injured villagers he stumbled upon his older brother Sato. Sato was a veteran Anbu captain and the one who suggested he join Anbu.
His brother was well known and feared throughout the village for his intellect and skill. He was known as Konoha's Famous Blaze Raven because of his tactics and durability. That, along with his Anbu mask, a raven, hence the title contributed to his name.. However the status he was in begged to differ. His ANBU uniform was torn and bloodied and he also had a large impalement wound in his chest and was missing his left arm. Acting on instinct Jiro picked up his brother and went in search of the nearest hospital.
This was nearly an hour ago and he still hasn't come across a hospital thanks to the fox. "At the rate we're going he's not going to make It." thinks Jiro. All of a sudden he hears a low grumble from his brother. "Jiro, put me down and get out of here." Said Sato "I can't your all that I got left, I'm not going to leave you to die." Says Jiro "No, younger brother it's already too late for me." "That last blow I took from the Kyuubi did a number on me: I can already feel it taking its toll on my body." Said Sato "But- "No, buts!" yelled Sato.
"Please set me down so I can go out in peace."Jiro nods hesitantly, and then sets his brother down at nearby tree. "Jiro before I go*Sato coughs up blood* I want to pass something on to you.* a scroll appears in Sato's remaining hand* "In here lies the secrets to our families bloodline that allows us to master the Kekkai Genkai the Blaze Release." "Along with it are a few techniques and kenjutsus I developed." "Oh, and here I was hoping to give this to you after you became an Anbu but better late than never eh bro."says Sato as he hands Jiro an egg. "It's a raven egg I found while in the whirlpool county, his name is Nero, and I'm sure he'll make a great partner for you." Said Sato *tears start to well up in Jiro's eyes* "Thanks brother I swear I'll take care of him." Says Jiro
"Heh that's good know."*Sato wipes the tears off of Jiro's face leaving a few hints of blood.* "Hehe, It was good spending my last moments with you younger brother; I just wish I could've been with you a little longer."says Sato as he dies from his wounds. The pain Jiro was feeling drom the loss from the loss of his older brother was immense. He looked up to Sato as not only a brother but a father figure as well. Ever since their parents died Sato was there for Jiro through thick and thin. From his days as genin to his initiation as an Anbu, Sato was always at his side. But now with his brother dead Jiro felt hollow, as if a piece of him was missing.
However he thought of the items his brother had left him. Sato had given Jiro everything he needed to propel his career as a shinobi. Jiro wouldn't let this go to waste. He attached the scroll to his waist and put Nero in a safe place in one of his many ninja pouches. Before he left, Jiro removed his brother's Raven mask and katana. He knew this was against ANBU regulations, but Jiro wasn't gonna let his brother's legacy fade away like many others. Jiro attached his brother's blade to his back and donned Sato's Raven mask. "Thank you Sato" said Jiro, as he walked away in the darkness on his way back to the ongoing destruction ahead of him.
As the moon shone it could be seen that on Sato's face was a small smirk signifying Sato's last moments of happiness as he passed. However hidden in the rubble was a cloaked figure waiting for his opportunity as he went to Sato's body and received a sample of genetic material. "Perfect." Said the cloaked figure as he turned into a giant snake and slithered away.
Elsewhere
Squirrel and Pinku Neko were having a hard time keeping their newly erected defenses stable with the Nine Tails rampaging around the village. While many other ANBU teams were tasked with engaging the nine tails or helping with the wounded; they got the task of civilian defense and evacuation. Which to say the least proved to be more difficult than it sounded.
The Nine-Tails had been constantly bombarding them with attacks and debris. As if to add to this ongoing shitlist their captain, Hyena, was M.I.A. "Where the hell is Hyena when we need him the most! Said Squirrel, Piku Neko could only nod in agreement as they prepared for another assault by the Kyuubi.
Meanwhile
A battle could be seen going between on between two Konoha Nin. One was garbed in the traditional Anbu gear, which consisted of a dark grey vest,, Black shinobi pants with bandages on the right leg, Anbu gauntlets and sandals, and lastly a purple Hyena mask. The other shinobi was clad in a green Chunnnin vest, blue shinobi pants, black ninja sandals, a bluemesh shirt with the Uchiha fan on the sides, and a blue Konoha Forehead protector.
" Why Koga, why won't' you join your clan in reclaiming its former glory from this accursed village" said the shinobi, sharigan blazing, to the Hyena masked ANBU. "I thought I told you already Ryoya." Said Koga,."My loyalties lie with the village and the village only brother." Said Koga as he assaulted his brother armed with a single kunai. So far the battle had taken a turn for the worse Ryoya with him starting to tire from his younger brother's onslaught of attacks, but he was too blinded by his pride to notice this.
Koga came at Ryoya with a strike aimed for his throat only for Ryoya to block it."Ha brother is this all you have you'll never defeat me with these attacks. Said Ryoya in a boastful tone. Koga only replied with a hearty chuckle. "No ryoya it is you that shall fall tonight." Said Koga. It was at that moment Ryoya noticed his mistake. By blocking Koga's attack he left his self-open for attack. Ryoya knew he had not the strength nor speed to counter what was to come. "Raiton Style: Shock Paralysis" shouted Koga as he gathered lightening chakra to his arm and touched one of Ryoya's nerve clusters.
The force in the jolt was enough to paralyze Ryoya's entire body and leaving him frozen like a statue. It was at this moment that panic started to seep into Ryoya as he thought about his brother's sadistic nature. "Please brother spare me, I promise I'll leave the coup and tell everything I know about the plans. Cried Ryoya, as Koga took a menacing step towards Ryoya and reached for his eyes.
"No Koga please not my eyes NO,NO,NO AHHHHHHH!"Yelled Ryoya in pain as Koga plucked both his eyes out of the sockets. Ryoya's world was now one full of darkness and pain. However his ears were still functional as he could hear his brother's words to him." Ah Ryoya it's too late for that. You made your choice and as you know the punishments for treason and conspiracy against the village is…. Death." Said Koga with a sadistic tone that could make Orochimaru piss in his pants.
"Raiton Style: Lightening Hyena" shouted Koga. The last thing Ryoya heard during his last moments was the unnerving laughter of a Hyena as it decended on him. "Now, I have everything I need to achieve the full potential of my sharigan and serve the village" said Koga as his sharigan evolved into a Makengynyo Sharigan in the shape of curved and pointed cross. And with that Koga made his way back to the village with his newly acquired eyes in a safe place in his ninja pouch to assist his comrades.
