Naruto AU where his back story is combined with Sauskes. Something I've thought of for a while, I've even posted the idea for any writer to adopt it or atleast inspire them to write more of the kind of fanfics that I like to read. No luck there, so I finally decided to write it myself. I was also further inspired by the latest Mortal Kombat games, especially with the long time character Scorpion, so there will be some elements from there. I can't make any promises as to how frequent I write, or how far I'll go, but I hope It'll be plenty for both.
Some things to expect:
Grey Naruto (Neither good or evil)
Fuinjutsu / kenjutsu / wind style / earlier access to Nine-tails chakra Naruto
Eventual Naruhina
Civilian Council bashing.
I don't own anything from either franchise.
Chapter 1: Red Hair, Red Blood.
Within the Hokage tower, members of the village's hierarchy have all gathered for a council meeting, called fourth by the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade Senju.
Tsunade sat at the central table in the council room, alongside her predecessor Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, as well as her two advisors, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane. On the left sat the shinobi side of the council, heads of the shinobi clans that are native to the village, and on the right was the civilian side, those in charge of the systematic affairs of the village.
"Thank you all for coming. As I'm sure you've already guessed, this meeting is to discuss the matter of our recent attack only hours ago." Tsunade began.
"Lady Tsunade, what of Lord Danzo? It's our understanding that he lead the fight against the enemy." A civilian councilman asked.
"That will be covered soon enough. Now, our village was infiltrated by the shinobi organization known as the Genshin Ryu. Their mission is to take control of all of the shinobi villages, with the hopes of maintaining stability between them under one power. Our village is the first in their conquest." Tsunade explained.
"Can we assume then that the enemy has been dealt with, and are either captured or killed?" Another civilian asked. Tsunade let out a deep breath and paused for a moment.
"If only to make yourselves feel better. They are the victors, not us." She finally answered. This statement led to an outburst of yelling and argument.
"What?"
"That's impossible!"
"Lady Tsunade, we heard that this group is made up of powerful shinobi and that they might even rival the Akutski, despite having lesser numbers, but for them alone to successfully concur one of the great shinobi village? It's absurd." The advisor Koharu suggested.
"The Seals." Everyone turned their eyes to the source of that comment, and looked towards Fugaku Uchiha, Head of the Uchiha clan and police force.
"The Genshin Ryu's victory was due to them successfully placing an identical seal onto all of our shinobi. Our lives are in their hands now." He went further.
"How do you know this, Lord Fugaku?" Homura asked for everyone to know.
"Because it's the exact same seal we use on our prisoners. It's designed to subdue its host through immense pain, as well as cause instant death, either upon command or when an outside source attempts to remove it. What's more, it draws on the chakra of it's host to activate, suppressing their ability to us chakra. Basically, we're all in chains that only our captures can remove, if they wished to." Fugaku explained.
"Yes, it's exactly as Fugaku had said. Fact is, the battle was lost before it even began. The only reason that one occurred was because Danzo acted one his own, preparing himself and his subordinates to face the Genshin Ryu after they had succeeded in their plan with the intent to serve his own means." Tsunade revealed, making everyone ponder on the idea that Danzo is a traitor.
"That would suggest that Danzo was aware of their plan and was going to take advantage of it, most likely by taking control of the village for himself." The Jonin Commader, Shikaku Nara states.
"It would appear that way. Whatever the case, Danzo's forces lost, and he died in battle." Tsunade explained. The room was quit for a moment.
"So now what? Where does the Genshin Ryu go from here?" Homura asks the Hokage. Tsunade lets out another deep breath.
"That is for them to tell us. The true purpose of this meeting was to arrange an audience with them." Tsunade states. She looks to the two ANBU shinobi standing guard by the entrance and gives them a silent order. They both complied by pulling open one side of the double doors, revealing a group of six that was waiting outside.
Each member of this group was wearing a matching uniform, distinguished by separate colors; green, brown, red, blue, yellow and white. Their uniforms consisted of a hooded uwagi with a front and back that almost reaches down to knees, shoulder plates and forearm protectors, a black belt around the waist and thick black trousers with shin protectors.
Their heads were covered by the hoods of their uwagi, and they wore masks similar to that of the ANBU, only instead of animal-like features, they had markings in the same color as their uniforms, as well as a kanji symbol that represents an element; wind for green, earth for brown, fire for red, water for blue, lightning for yellow, and yang for white.
They also had some personal distinguishments amongst themselves. Both the yellow and white shinobi had figures that clearly showed they were female. The brown shinobi carried a large stone gourd on his back, and the blue shinobi had a bamboo jug strapped on the side of his belt, along with a pipe.
They all walked inside the room, the green shinobi being ahead of the rest, until he stood at the center for the whole council to see.
"By now, the Hokage has filled you in on who we are, what our goal is, and what we've just accomplished. If there's anything I have to say, its that it's about time you all got what was coming to you." The green shinobi states. Before anyone could ask what he meant by that, he pulls down his hood, giving the entire council a very good idea as to who he is when they could see his red hair. Their suspicion was immediately confirmed when he took of the mask, revealing blue eyes and a whisker-like birthmark.
Naruto Uzumaki had returned to Konohagakure.
The room remained silent, up to when a rage driven councilman from the civilian side got up from his seat and threw his
"You demon! Do you think we will stand for this, bowing down to you and your demon loving minions, you filthy..."
The next thing anyone knew, Naruto was standing on the opposite side of the civilian table, holding up his right fist that had a bright orange glow. The councilman was found all the way back to the wall behind the civilians, motionless and held up by the dent that was made with his head. While the civilians had their eyes fixated with anxiety on this scene, they were startled by the sound of a loud bang. They turned their heads back towards Naruto, who had just impacted his raised fist onto the table, creating another dent.
"You don't seem to get the point. I'm above the Hokage now, nothing to hold me back, and nothing to protect you anymore." Naruto sternly explains to the civilian council. Their only response was their continued silence.
"That's what I thought."
Two ANBU appeared by the stricken councilman, about to take him for medical attention.
"Leave him." Naruto orders them. They stopped and looked at him.
"So that I don't to set anymore 'examples'. You can take him when the meeting's over."
The ANBU turned to Tsunade. She gives them a nod, telling them to comply with his command. They simply remained on standby.
"Before I go on, there's something I want to clear up first." Naruto turns to the shinobi council and slowly walks back to the center of the room.
"This village was always my enemy, so I conquered it for my best interest. But I haven't forgotten those who were never like the rest, those who cared about me and wanted to help after I had lost everything. " Naruto talks in a lighter tone, showing that he holds no ill will towards them.
"I don't intend to mix you up with them and I want to maintain good relationships with all of you. It may not be easy for you to accept that after all of this, but I hope you'd at least hear me out." Naruto calmly explains.
"Now for the rest of you." He turns back to the civilian council, talking in his stern voice again, and again raising their anxiety.
"As always, you'll think whatever you want to support your own beliefs, but the truth is that you brought this on yourselves, and it started the day this village began to oppress my clan."
Nine Years Earlier
"Naruto, it's about time you got up. You'll be late for the academy." Kushina calls out to her son. She was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for both him and her husband Minato Namikaze, better known to the shinobi world as the Yellow flash and the Fourth Hokage. He was already sitting down at the table, having his coffee and reading the newspaper.
Moments later, an eight year old boy enters the kitchen. His hair was spiky and blonde, and his eyes were blue, traits that mimicked his father, thought most would say that he resembled his mother more. He wore a white t-shirt that had the spiral symbol of the Uzumaki clan, blue shorts and sandals.
"Morning mom. Mourning dad." Naruto says to both his parents.
"Mourning son. Sleep well?" Minato asks.
"Yeah I slept ok." Naruto answers as he take his seat.
"Are you ready for your class presentation today?" Kushina asks her son.
Naruto was tasked with a class project at the shinobi academy, in which each student would write a report about a shinobi clan of their choosing, either within or outside of their village, and present it to the whole class. He chose the Uzumaki clan, as there was no instruction that kept any student from choosing the clan that he descents from.
"Yeah mom, I got that covered." Naruto assures her.
"By the way, when is uncle Satoshi gonna finish with that new seal he's trying to make? I want to train with him again." He asks.
"Soon honey. Developing a seal takes a great deal of time." Kushina replies.
"What's wrong with kakashi's training?" Minato inquires.
"His training isn't bad, it's him that I can't stand. He's always late and doesn't care about it, now matter how many times I complain." Naruto explains with some irritation in his voice. Minato lightly chuckles at his response, already suspicious of his former student's tardiness being a factor.
"I know Kakashi can be frustrating son, but trust me when I say that he's one of the best shinobi you can get training from, and that's what we want for you, especially since we're unable to train you ourselves. We want you to be every bit as strong and become a splendid shinobi that everyone will look up to." Minato tells his son. Although, there was more to it than that.
Minato has done much for the benefit of Konohagakure in his shinobi career, earning him the title of Hokage and high praise as its greatest hero, but with it also came countless enemies that wouldn't think twice to threaten his family for revenge, especially his vulnerable son.
A family of shinobi in this position would naturally respond by having their children gain as much training as they possibly can to better defend themselves. Naruto's parents wanted the same thing, but didn't have the proper means. Minato was always to busy running the village and performing his Hokage duties, and Kushina was unable to do any practical training because of critical injuries she suffered years ago, limiting her to teaching Naruto fuinjutsu. Kushina's younger brother, Satoshi Uzumaki, gladly volunteered to train Naruto, but he to has been occupied lately, leaving Kakashi Hatake as his substitute.
"I'm sure your uncle wants to get back to your training as well, and is trying to finish as fast as he can. You just have to be patient." Kushina adds to the discussion.
"Bring patient must be what Kakashi is trying to teach you every time he's late. It will be a useful strength to have." Minato hoped to convince his son to see the positive side.
Naruto left his house and was heading for the academy. Along the way, his Uzumaki clansmen offer him friendly greetings, and he happily returns them. He was well recognized amongst his mother's clan, not only as the son of their Hokage, but also the nephew of their clan head, and is in fact the clan heir until his uncle has children of his own.
He finds one member on his journey that he's fond of, an elderly man who he sees as a grandfather figure, heavy-set with grey hair tied in a ponytail and beard, wearing a white kimono. He was sitting out on a patio, playing shogi with another member.
"Mourning grandpa-Raicho." Naruto made his pressence known to him. The man turns to see him, showing a smile on his face.
"Good Mourning young Naruto. Of to the academy?" He asks the boy, who simply nods his head.
"I heard from your mother that you'll be talking about our clan to your classmates."
"It's just a class presentation. No big deal." Naruto states. Raicho gives out a light chuckle at that comment.
"Even so, you'll undoubtedly focus on all of the things that make our clan great. An advice from an elder, try to show some pride when you talk." Raicho tells him. Naruto has a look of curiosity, wondering what he means.
Showing pride will help to make everyone believe in your words. It will tell them 'I know what I'm saying and I mean what I say, because I Am a member of this clan. '" Raicho went further. He gently places a hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"And you are one of us young Naruto, by blood and heart. Always remember that." Raicho reminds him, something that Naruto greatly appreciates.
"Thanks grandpa-Raicho."
Naruto's journey leads him outside of the Uzumaki district and into the general public where, unfortunately, he was not meet with the same friendly greetings as with his villagers were ignoring him, intentionally to avoid any interaction with him. Those who did pay any attention, it was to show disdain towards Naruto while he wasn't looking. They always tried to hide what they felt for him, but Naruto knew full well what they thought of him, ever since he learned the truth as to the cause.
His mother is a Jinchuriki. This means that thorough sealing, her body is used to imprison a Tailed-beast, a living being made from an immense amount of chakra. She held the most powerful of the tailed beasts, the Nine-tails fox.
On the night of his birth, the fox was unleashed and attacked the village, resulting in a great deal of death and destruction that the village has barely recovered from.
Naruto's father rescued the village by resealing the fox into two halves. One halve went back into Kushina, as a means to save her life after all of the strain that she had suffered, but leaves her crippled as a result. The other went into Naruto, making him a Jinchuriki as well since he was the most suitable candidate by both his lineage and recent birth.
After the attack, Minato announced his son's status to all of |Konoha, in the hopes that the villagers would view him as a hero. But it was to soon. The idea that the nine tails stilled lived and was contained within a child living amongst them was no different than for that child being the nine tails itself and the cause of the tragedy for the emotionally damaged village.
Minato has then made the knowledge a S-rank secret to spare his son of his burden after the mistake he made. No one in Naruto's generation knew the truth, which included him, until his sixth birthday, when a chunin made an attempt on his life, forcing his parents to reveal everything afterwards. Since then, all of their hatred and disdain was clear to see, no matter how much they tried to hide it. any form of kindness they showed him, genuine or not, was only out of fear for his father.
This made Naruto all the more grateful for having a family and clan that loves and accepts him, regardless of what he was. He also knew that there are those outside of the clan who never viewed him as a monster, mainly the head families of the other clans who knew better, all of whom have children his age that is friends with.
One of which he spots ahead of him, walking in the same direction.
"Hinata." He calls out her name.
The girl turns around and to her delight sees Naruto running up to her. She wears a light lavender shirt and navy blue pants. Her hair was dark blue and in a hime-cut style. Most noticeable of all was her featureless lavender eyes, the result of inheriting the Byakugan, a kekkei genkai that comes with being a member of the Hyuga clan, of which she is the heiress.
"Good mourning Naruto." She greets him as soon as he catches up with her.
"Mourning. Glad I caught you on the way." He tells her.
"Yes, I'm happy that I get to walk with you to the academy." She replies. The two continue on their journey, walking side by side.
"So how's it going?" Naruto asks.
"Everything's going good. My sister started her training recently and I've even been sparing with her too. She's really getting into it." Hinata states.
"That's cool, thought I bet she has a long way to go to catch up to you." Naruto compliments her.
"O-Oh, I don't know if I..." Hinata turns her head away to hide the blush that's creeping on her face. She has an admiration for Naruto that went beyond their frienship, something that, to her deepest wishes, he would one day feel the same for her.
"Speaking of training, my uncle got stuck with some clan project, leaving me with Kakashi, who annoys the hell out of me." Nruto says in an angered tone.
"I'm sure he's only doing such things for you benifit Naruto." Hinata tries to convince him
"Yeah, well I still prefer to train with my uncle any day."
Naruto and Hinata have arrived at the academy. They entered the building and made their way to their designated classroom. Once they opened door and walked right in, they saw that most of their classmates were already here, conversing amongst themselves while they wait to start the day. Naruto looks up and sees another of his closest friends sitting somewhere in the middle. He goes to sit next to him, with Hinata following behind.
"Hey Sauske." He greets the youngest heir to the Uchiha clan. He was wearing a black shirt that had the Uchiha clan symbol, and black shorts. His hair and eyes were also black, common traits within his clan.
"Mourning Sauske." Hinata also extends a greeting.
"Mourning guys." He happily returns them.
"So how are things?" Naruto asks him while he and Hinata sat down. Sauske's expression changed to a somewhat sorrow look.
"Not all good. My cousin Shisui was attacked by enemy shinobi." He tells them.
"Oh dear. Is he alright?" Hinata asks with concern for this sudden news.
"He's not badly hurt, but he did lose an eye. The enemy stole it from him." Sauske stated further.
"Man, that really sucks. Who attacked him, and why?" Naruto inquires.
"I wish I knew, but the grown-ups don't tell me anything. You know how it is." Sauske replies.
This got Naruto thinking. True enough, it wasn't uncommon for the children in a shinobi village to kept out of the loop when it comes to shinobi affairs, even after they become shinobi themselves. Being the son of a Kage, he knew that better than anyone, more so when the fact that he's a jinchuriki was kept a secret, even to him.
His thoughts on Shisui being attacked got him to think about the Konoha shinobi that attacked him a couple of years ago. Everyone who didn't know the truth was given a cover story, believing that it was a shinobi from another village wanting revenge against his father. Is it possible that the attack on Shisui was also a cover story, Naruto ponders.
"Alright class, settle down. Please take your seats."
Naruto's thoughts were interrupted by the presence of his home room teacher, Iruka Umino, who had just entered the classroom. All of the students were taking their seats as they were instructed. They sat down in silence as they waited for Iruka to begin today's lesson.
"Good mourning class. Looks like everyone's present. I hope you all remember that today is our presentation on the various clans in the shinobi world. When I call out your name, please come to the front of the class and begin your presentation."
One by one, a student walks down to the front of the classroom after hearing their names from Iruka and reads out loud their presentation from the paper that they wrote it on.
"Naruto Namikaze."
It was now his turn, so he heads down and faces the rest of the class.
"The clan that I chose is the Uzumaki clan, my own clan from my mom's side." He begins. He looks down and reads from his paper.
"The Uzumaki clan is one of the oldest and most powerful clans through out the nations. The Uzumaki specialize in Fuinjutsu, and are considered the best at it. This is because we have more chakra than any other shinobi clan, which also makes it that much harder for us when it comes to chakra control. Fuinjutsu requires lots of chakra in almost every case, meaning less chakra control needed, and instead of controlling it, it's more like you communicate with chakra through writing and drawing. We are also famous for our wind style jutsu, since wind nature is the most common in our clan, which we then combined with our Kenjutsu since wind is the cutting element."
"When shinobi clans started to build the hidden villages and live in them, the Uzumakis built their own village, known as Uzushiogakure in the land of whirlpools. It had a nickname too, the village of Longevity, which comes from how Uzumaki members are known for living longer lives than most, another result from having lots of chakra."
"The Uzumaki's are distant relatives with the Senju clan, with whom they've always had a good relationship, and then both clans made that bond stronger when Lady Mito Uzumaki, daughter of clan head Ashina Uzumaki, came to the Leaf village and became the wife of Hashirama Senju, who we know as the first Hokage. Alongside her, a branch family came and settled in the Leaf Village as well."
"Unfortunately, the branch family is all that's left of us. Other villages were afraid of how powerful Uzushiogakure was because of our mastery of Fuinjutsu, so during the second shinobi war, the villages of Kumogakure, Kirigakure and Iwagakure have joined forces to attack Uzugakure. In the end, the village was left in ruins and the main family was destroyed, with a few survivors who have managed to escape, some of which have came here and joined the branch family, though technically it was the main family now."
"After the war, the Second Hokage appointed the Uzumaki clan as the Uzumaki police force, mainly because of our skills in Fuinjutsu, but it was also a way for Konoha to make up for not being able to save Uzushio, entrusting us with the protecting and the peace of the village that they couldn't give to our ancestral home."
Today's lectures have concluded at the academy, and all of the students were exiting the building. Naruto was walking out with Hinata and Sauske by his side.
"Hey do you guys wanna hang out for a bit?" Naruto asks them.
"Can't. I have training back at home." Sauske replies.
"Same with me." Hinata state, though she would've liked to spent more time with him.
"Ah man I forgot. Training with Kakashi, I usually have free time before he decides to show up." Naruto states.
"Well, if still want that, I can just come back later." A voice was heard from behind.
All three of them turned around and saw Kakashi Hatake standing there.
"You're actually here? Now?" Naruto was surprised that for once he didn't have to wait for him like he always does.
"Why? Is that so hard to believe?" Kakashi retorts.
"This is you we're talking about, so yeah, it is. What's the catch?" Naruto asks him with a little irritation in his voice while crossing his arms.
"Your father just gave me a mission starting tomorrow. I'll be gone for a while so he also asked me to get as much training done as I can for today, and then I'll leave you with some training to do on your own." Kakashi explained.
"But before that, we should get something to eat. How about so ramen?" Kakashi suggested, hoping to avoid disappointing him at the moment in the way he knew would always work.
"Definetly. See you guys." Naruto exchanges goodbyes with his friends and eagerly walks away with Kakashi.
A clear moonlit night sky had already reached by the time an exhausted Naruto had entered the Uzumaki District on his way back home.
"Man, Kakashi went all out today. Guess it kinda makes up for always being late." Naruto says out loud.
That though then got him thinking about how late it was right now, which made him realize something. It wasn't late enough that everyone would be in bed by now.
So why is it so quit out, he wonders. There should at least be lights coming from inside the houses, but there weren't any. Naruto starts to feel uneasy, so he quickens his pace towards his home. When he makes a right turn, he stops when he witnesses something he could never have been prepared for.
His Uzumaki clansmen, lying dead on the ground. They all appeared to have been killed in the same manner, stabbed in a vital part of their bodies, mostly the neck area. Through out the street, there was signs of a struggles, mainly consisting of property damage and leftover kunais and shurikens.
"Wha-What's going on?" Naruto's eyes were completely fixated on the horror before him. The only thing he could think to do was to get to his parents as fast as possible, so he starts to run, seeing more bodies along the way, driving him to run faster, until he reaches the front entrance of his house.
"Mom, Dad!" Naruto shouts out as soon as he bursts in, not wasting time with closing the door or taking of his shoes. He gets no response, and it doesn't help that his house is just as quit and dark as it is outside.
"Hello. Is anyone home?" He ventures inside, searching for signs of life, worried about what he may or may not find. Even though it was dark, there was enough moonlight coming from the windows for him to see well enough, so when he ends up in the living area, something catches his eyes.
Behind the cough, there was red hair sticking out from one end. Much to his horror, he already knew what was behind the cough, but he had to see it for himself. Hesitantly, he walks around the other end, and that's when he saw it.
His mother lying on the ground, blood on her stomach, and devoid of life.
"Mom!" Naruto drops to his knees by her side, placing his on her shoulders.
"Mom wake up!" He shake her intensely, hoping that she would open her eyes, a sign that there was still some life left in her.
"Please wake up. Please, not you to!" He tried again.
Nothing. She was gone like the rest of them.
At this point, Naruto could only succumb to the despair that was coming to him, letting go of the tears while he laid his head on her. He remains in this position for a few moments, until he felt that there was someone else in the room. He turns to see who it was, fearing that it was the killer, but was relieved to find his father standing there.
He gets up and rushes towards Minato to seek comfort as he throws his arms around him and continues to cry. He felt that his father placed an arm on his back.
"Everyone's dead. Who could've..." Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the sensation of being pulled away from the back of his shirt. Minato then raised his right leg and delivered a powerful kick to Naruto's chest, knocking him down on his back.
"What are you...?" He tries to ask in confusion, bolding his hand to where he was painfully kicked.
"Foolish, pathetic boy. Every bit as naive as your mother." Minato said in a cold tone.
Naruto was confused as to why his father was acting like this, but then he notices that in his right hand was one of his signature three-pronged kunai. The blade was stained with blood, helping Naruto to realize the horrible nature of the situation.
"You did this?" He asks in disbelief. Minato remains silent while starring down on him with a cold expression on his face.
"How could you? Why?" Naruto desperately asks for the reason as to why his father murdered his clan. Minato still refused to talk.
"Why?!" Naruto shouts at him, demanding an answer.
"Because I'm tired of being surrounded by weaklings." Minato finally spoke in his still cold tone. Naruto wondered what he meant by that, but then Minato went on with his explanation.
"During the last war, this village has done more to clinch to my strength rather than develop it's own, and it's been that way since. I had hoped there'd be someone here strong enough challenge me and help me determine how strong I truly am, but no one was worthy, and it was a matter of time before I could no longer stand it, so as a final test, I attack the clan with the best chance of pushing me to my limits."
"You killed everyone just to find out how strong you are? Even mom?"
"That's right. No matter what anyone says, power is everything in this world, especially amongst shinobi. The Uzumaki clan, despite their own power, couldn't defend themselves against me alone, and it cost them their lives." Minato kneels downs to get closer to Naruto. He flips the kunai in his hand, pointing it towards his son.
"That just leaves you now." He states, making Naruto worry about what he was going to do now.
"Your not even worth any thought, but your still my son. For me to measure my power, I need to at least face someone that can be considered my equal, and you have the best potential to becoming that. What's more, you already posses the power of a Tailed-beast.
This was the real reason I made you into a Jinchuriki."
This revelation has greatly contributed to Naruto's shock. He was always told that the reason why his father made him a Jinchuriki was because his believed in him to one day master the Nine-tails chakra and become a powerful shinobi. Now, on top of everything else, he learns that it was all a lie, and everything he had to endure as a result, was for someone else's means.
So you see, I didn't just give you power to serve my own interest, I gave you every reason to hate me. This village despises you because of what I did to you to protect it, and now I've taken away your family and clan, the only people who have ever cared about you." Minato states to provoke him. He gets up from his kneeling position and takes a few steps back.
"If you loved your mother's clan, then you will seek to avenge them, even if takes you the rest of your life. Until then, you better get as strong as you can, in anyway you can, because when we meet again, it'll be a battle that only one of us will walk away from." Minato says to him with his back turned. He turns his head around to look at his son for one last time.
"Goodbye, Naruto."
The next second, Minato disappears through the use of the jutsu he was famous for, the Hirashin no Jutsu.
Naruto raises himself up from ground, only to fall on his hands and knees because of the shock of what has transpired. He stares to the ground, thinking only about everything his father has said and done, slowly converting his shock into anger.
While his anger has risen, something else was occurring as a result, a dark-orange chakra was emitting from his stomach and slowly enveloped his entire body. Instead of wondering what this chakra was, his mind was completely focused on hunting down the man that has just caused him so much anguish.
This chakra then took the form of a fox with two tails, and his facile features were a enhanced to appear more aggressive and animal-like. His attitude was also animal-like, as he exists the house by jumping right through a window with an enhanced force from the exterior chakra. Outside, he runs around through out the streets on all fours, ignoring the corpses of his clansmen while he tries to find his father without reason or direction.
Naruto stops when he feels a presence coming towards him from behind. He turns around to intercept, be it a threat or not, but as soon as he was faced with the individual, a piece of paper was slapped onto his forehead.
The individual was revealed to be the elderly Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who jumped back and performed a hand sign, activating the seal that was on the paper. The chakra surrounding Naruto was forced to retract itself back to its source, putting his body through a strain that rendered him unconscious.
He fell into the embrace of the Third Hokage who caught him before he could fall to the ground. He then looks around and sees the bodies of the Uzumaki clan lying dead on the streets, striking his heart with grief at the loss of these members of Konoha, as well as sympathy for the boy in his arms.
"How could things have gotten this bad?"
I hope that the readers of this fanfic will find this chapter to be a good start, and I can't wait for the reviews, be it good or bad.
One thing you may notice is that the English and Japanese pronunciations are mixed up, as I'm ignorant of the latter and limited to what I've read in previous Fanfics.
Also, one thing that I don't brag about is my ability to come up with names, so if anyone has any suggestions as to what it should be for any of the titles, or for the group that Naruto will eventually form, I AM ALL EARS.
Till next time.
