SUMMARY: Everyone knew how the sealing of the kyuubi's spirit into an infant. But what about the body of the said kyuubi? What would happen if a highly skilled ninja transferred his only son's spirit into the body of the kyuubi to save his son? How would this child affect the life on the jinchuuriki of kyuubi?
DISCLAIMER: Even if the sun refuse to shine... even if we lived in different time... even if the world would disappear... I would never ever own Naruto. Though some OCs are mine hehehe!!
Prologue
'The mighty bijuu with nine tails swarm over the leaf village, was taking down as many as ninjas with its tails. The demon roared a demonic laugh that would send chills down to one's spine. Then before him, a gigantic frog stood, on its head was the hero of Konoha, Yondaime Hokage. With his downfall, he took along the great Kyuubi and gave peace to the leaf village'
"This is the tail of the Konoha, of their protector and saviour, the Yondaime Hokage. This is what the younger generations should learn about the life of our Yondaime. No one would tell about what truly happens for I will classify it as an S-Rank secret and anyone who would violate this will be punishable by death."
This was the words of the old Sandaime, a rule he gave to those people who truly knew what happen on that fateful day. While saying this, he was holding in his hands a bundle of clothes and a blonde baby with whiskers-like birth mark in his cheeks and funny tattoo on his stomache.
Though many thought about rejoicing on that day, none saw a shinobi fleeing into the woods towards a mighty body of a giant fox, lifeless of a soul. The man perform some kind of ritual and then the baby on his hands seemed to fuse with the body and then a light emerge. What was left of the light was a red haired-baby in bundles but with ears that of a fox, red furs in some of its body and a noticable red furred tail. The man died instantly on the spot. Then a wolf dressed with some fancy armors smelled the infant then took it along with him.
Yes, nobody saw the faithful event, a shinobi performing some rituals with the lifeless body of the Kyuubi, the merging of the baby and the bijuu's body, the infant with fox-like attributes, the death of the shinobi, and the armored toad picking up the baby. Everything was left into the dark as the people of the village of Konoha were rejoicing for the defeat of the demon.
Chapter 1 Childhood Nightmares and Saviour
Time skip 6 years
Day October 10, the Kyuubi's downfall
On the busy streets of Konoha, lights were decorated in almost every house. Many people were rejoicing because of this day. But unlikely, on child was crying in its room, avoiding from the people because of the events that happened last year.
Flashback
A 5 year old child from the orphanage went outside to see the glorious events. He always dreamed to see those fancy lights and the laughter of every people. But before he could go any further, a mob of people with torches, weapons, and many more was seen patrolling around the city.
"There is the demon" shouted by what it seems to be the leader. Naruto then turned his head to see a group of mob coming near him. Curiosity got the hold of him so he wanted to know what the people would do. Suddenly someone kicked him in his gut, sending him to fly for a good 5 feet.
"Today, you will die demon"
"Let's make sure that 'he' will receive the thing 'he' did to us"
"Yeah let's do this"
"Kill him"
Angry shouts filled Naruto's head and pain was filling his body. He started to cry because he don't know what was happening. 'Why are they mean...sob... to m-me? What did... hic... I do t-to them?' These were the thoughts that ran in Naruto's mind.
Before blakness consumed him, the only thing that was left in his mind was a person in white robes in front of him with masked people wearing in black robes circling around the mob
"Ojiisa..." was all he was able to say before finally blacking out.
Flashback ended...
He was transferred into an apartment after that incident. He thought he was going to be alone but the Hokage sometimes would visit him. This time however, there were important guests that the Hokage would be attending to. Naruto knew too well that the same incident might occur again if he would go out from his apartment. He was going to make sure to stay away from the people this time. Then, a rock flew by his window. When he went to check it out, he was surprised to see a mob, much many than it was, crowding his front door. There were even some people that dressed like chuunins who were outside.
Thud
The door swing open and a chuunin was there. He grabbed Naruto by his collar and dragged him along.
"You're coming with me 'demon'" with a tone of venom in it.
"Let go of me" Naruto started to shout and started to swing his body and his arms.
The chuunin punch him in his stomache silencing him for a moment.
"Shut it brat"
He dragged Naruto and took him in a secluded part. Along with the crowd, the chuunin started to throw first rocks at him. Naruto had crowled into a ball hiding his head and bracing himself for the impacts.
"That should be enough... for a WARMUP" the chuunin shouted.
The mob closed at him and threw almost anything, ranging from rocks, trash, even punches and kicks, there were even some kunais and shurikens that were thrown to him. The chuunin who dragged Naruto inched to him unsheathing his wakizashi.
"This is for all those lives you killed demon. Now we will avenge it by taking out your life."
Naruto was crying the whole time. He was near to his limits and about to faint. When the wakizashi was feet away from contact, he was crying and his thoughts were eluded with so many questions. 'Why do they hate me so much?' 'Do I get this punishments just because of my pranks?' 'Why ohh why?' Naruto never knew the reason. Whenever he asked the Hokage, he would always say silent then change the topic. Everything was flooding in his conscience.
CLANG
The sound of metal connecting with metal awoke Naruto from his reverie. There infront of him was not the Hokage. In fact, it was out of the ordinary. There stood in front of him was a toad or was it a frog? The thing is that this 'toad' was twice the size of him and wore fancy armors. In its 'hands' was a katana that parried with the chuunin's wakizashi.
"Isn't it a bit odd for a chuunin to fight an innocent child, ne Bantoh?" said a man behind Naruto.
Naruto quickly look to his back. There was a man with a funny looking hair, white in color, long in length, spiky in figure. On his head was a headgear with a kanji for oil.(A/N)
"Huh..." the chuunin was trembling, along with the other people. This man, from Naruto's thinking, was someone with high status to make this mob tremble.
"You know Bantoh, you are punishable by death in doing this. You are violating the sacred rule Konoha, which is 'no shinobi, under no permission of the Hokage, is to go and kill the citizens'. Worse for it, you are killing a child. I could have killed you right here, right now but I would let the Hokage punished you. As for all of you, I would request the Hokage to punish you as well." he stated as he was turning to the mob.
Just then, group of black robed people wearing masks appeared in the sight. One with the dog mask approached the white haired man then bowed before him, along with the other black robed people.
"Inu, I want you to report this to the Hokage, understand?" said the white haired man.
"Hai, Jiraiya-sama" stated back by the robed figure. Signaling his comrades, the 'mystery figures' rounded up the mob and shinobis and headed to the Hokage tower.
"Are you alright Naruto?" stated the white haired man as his pick up Naruto to stand.
By this time, Naruto had already stopped crying, eyeing this mysterious person.
"Uhm, h-hai kyuuseishu-san." Naruto stated, a little bit confused interested to know who was his 'saviour'.
Jiraiya chuckled a little. 'kyuuseishu, ey Naruto. You really do resemble your father.'
"Now Naruto, lets go meet and have a little chat with the Hokage."
"Hai" there was a tone of happiness in it. For Naruto, he was going to see his fatherly-like person.
At the Hokage's Tower's balcony
"I'm sorry, Arashi, I think I have failed your last wishes. I also want Naruto to live like an ordinary child. No matter what I do, it seems the lack of parents still deprived him of happiness. I only wish for you and Reikka to be here." the Hokage stated as he was looking at a face far to the right.
"Yo, sensei, are you done with your mourning rituals?" said an overly familiar voice.
As Sarutobi turned, yup it was his infamous student and one of the shinobi he entitled "Sannin". Jiraiya, the toad Sannin.
"Ahh Jiraiya, welcome back. Since when did you arrive? What brings you here as well? And when will you unleash the next edition of Icha Icha Paradise?"
Sarutobi was silenced when Jiraiya pointed to his back. Following his finger, he found Naruto all bandage in almost every part of him. Sarutobi knew what happened but couldn't believe that it was this worst. Silently he whispered "damned politics". Sarutobi went to Naruto and hugged him.
"Are you alright Naruto-kun?" stated Sarutobi in a fatherly worried tone.
"HAI, Ojiisan." He then pointed to Jiraiya and stated "thanks to kyuuseishu-san and his pet." Naruto said with an innocent smile. He walked towards Jiraiya and said "kyuuseishu-san, can I get one of those 'pets'?" he asked hopefully and innocently.
"Hai, hai. Now Naruto if you could, can you wait in the office while sensei here and I have a little chat"
"Hurray, I'm gonna get cutie toad, I'm gonna get a cutie toad." Naruto sang in a cheerful tone.
"Sarutobi-sensei..."
Sarutobi knew that Jiraiya will only call himself by his name whenever he is very serious. Taking it as cue he muttered "continue".
"I will not stay here much longer. Truthfully, I was just going to pass by but things change. I would leave after two days. The reason why I change my mind was because I want to bring Naruto with me and train him."
"I understand Jiraiya. I know how he means to you defining that you are his legal godfather. I will make papers and approve of his departure. Since he will be leaving, I want you to promise to return him here. It was your student's wish for him to be recognized a hero of Konoha."
"Then I will fulfill that promise by making Naruto so strong and qualifies as your next replacement."
"That I would be assured of. Now, on the other hand, I want to know when is your next unleashing of the next edition of your famous books."
Jiraiya, grinning, "Just a matter of time before I finished it Hokage-sama" then chuckling low.
After a warm chat Jiraiya bade farewell and escorted Naruto to his apartment.
"Anyway I forgot to introduce myself Naruto, I am Jiraiya"
"Nice to meet you Jiraiya-kyuuseishu"
"Naruto in two days I will be leaving Konoha"
Naruto became sad. Just as he met another person who cares for him, he suddenly leaves. Also, how will he be able to get his 'pet'? "But why Jiraiya-kyuuseishu?"
"I loved traveling and seeing the world. Through that, I learned a lot of information that Konoha alone wouldn't be able to know. But I want you to know Naruto that when I leave, I plan on bringing you along."
Naruto's mind was choosing between shock and joy which it chose the latter. Naruto jumped up and down gleefully but then became sad. "So I won't be seeing some of my friends then?" Naruto asked sadly.
"Don't worry Naruto. When time comes we will return back to Konoha that I assure you. I give you two days to prepare and bid farewell to all your friends. By the way, how many friends do you have?"
Naruto held up his two hands, showing his fingers "Seven"
"May I ask who are they?"
"Uhm Hokage-jiisan, Jiraiya-kyuuseishu, Teuchi-jiisan, Ayame-neechan, and Ino-chan her parents"
"Hmm. The Hokage, me, the vendors of Ichiraku, and the... whoa whoa, you mean you had friends with your age, not to mention of opposite gender?"
Naruto just smiled and retold about his past encounter with Yamanaka Ino
Flashback
4 months ago
Naruto was walking at the park relatively sad since kids started ignoring him and wouldn't play with him. So he usually plays by himself. Then out of nowhere he heard soft cries from a familiar place. On the swing which he usually plays by himself, there sits a crying little girl. Naruto took a quick glance at her before approaching her. She had a platinum blonde that reaches her neck. She wore a light blue shirt and light blue skirts and a sandals at her feet.
"Uhm why are you crying?" Naruto asked innocently, forgetting his sadness.
"hic... No-obody wants to... hic... play w-with me... sob"
"Then I'll play with you"
Without anymore conversation, Naruto went to the back of the girl and started pushing her. After half an hour, Naruto and the girl were laughing
"By the way, my names Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto."
"Mine Ino. Yamanaka Ino"
"Nice to meet you Ino-chan"
"You too Naruto-kun. Hey Naruto its getting dark I got to go home. But would you like to eat dinner with us? I'm sure that my parents would love to meet you."
"Uhm... well sure"
And so Naruto went with Ino, met her parents and found that they don't mind Naruto being friends with Ino, in fact they are happy for Ino to met such wonderful friend.
Flashback ends
"... and that's how I befriend Ino." finished Naruto holding up a genuine smile.
"Hmm. I see, okay Naruto I'm giving you a two days to spend time with them. After that, we will leave okay understand? And say your farewells on that day when we will leave."
"Hai"
After 2 days
Naruto stood along Jiraiya at the gates of Konoha. Looking back, there were a small crowd of people
"Bye Naruto, seems I'll be missing one of our best customers."
"Bye Teuchi-jiisan, I promise to eat here again when I return."
"Bye Naruto-kun, I'll be seeing you, won't I?"
"Bye Ayame-neechan, I'm sure you'll see me when I return"
"Bye Naruto-kun. Wish you luck" "Yeah, same here."
"Bye Mrs. Yamanaka, bye Mr.Yamanaka"
"Naruto-kun when you return, I'm sure you'll be a great ninja and when that day comes, I'm gonna treat you to some ramen."
"Thanks ojiisan, keep your promise."
"Hai, hai Naruto-kun"
"... Naruto-kun, farewell" then Ino kiss Naruto's cheeks
"... Yeah I'll be seeing you" then Naruto kiss Ino's cheeks
"Okay seems thats all. Well Konoha, I bid you farewell. Hokage-sama ensure that when Naruto returns, he'll be more than capable to replace you."
"Okay road, here we come. Let's go Naruto."
"Hai Jiraiya- kyuuseishu"
And with that, the two figures stroded along the path towards to an unknown places.
