Chapter 1: The Meeting
Our story begins in Konohagakure no Sato, the greatest ninja village in all of the elemental Nations. We see Naruto Namikaze a 11 year old little boy that was looking sad while watching his parents, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki train their daughter Kasumi Namikaze. Kasumi was also known as the Hero of Konoha, the jailor of Kyuubi and many more nicknames given to her by the village people.
His parents always ignored Naruto's pleads of training him. Many would ask why would his parents ignore him, well it all started about 11 years ago on the day the Kyuubi no Yoko was released from its seal. A masked stranger was the one who released the biju from its previous host, which happened to be their mother and he had taken control over the Kyuubi temporarily.
The Yondaime Hokage fought the masked man and somehow managed to beat him; which released masked man's control over the Kyuubi. Then with his fast thinking and help from his summon Gamabunta, Minato managed to subdue the Kyuubi. The young Hokage sealed the yang chakra of the Kyuubi into his daughter and the yin chakra of the Kyuubi into his wife otherwise she wouldn't have lived more than a few more hours.
Once all that was over, Minato told the village that someone powerful summoned the Kyuubi to destroy the village. But he had defeated the beast and sealed it into his daughter who would use the Biju's power to protect the village. The people who loved Minato trusted his judgment and accepted Kasumi as the savior of their village; they treated her like a hero, while Naruto was forgotten.
Naruto was always forgotten on his own birthday, even though his was on the same day as Kasumi's. The only one that actually remembered his birthday was the 3rd Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. It was the same with every holiday, Kasumi was given everything and Naruto was forgotten every time.
Naruto and Kasumi were very different in their looks and personalities to be considered twins. Kasumi had her mother's long red hair and violet eyes, she was always dressed in bright clothes like orange; for some reason she didn't get whisker marks on her cheeks. She was always full of energy, almost never ending but she wasn't really all that bright (smart), and when she fought she was all brawn but no brains leaving the Kyuubi to heal the wounds she got.
While Naruto had his father's spiky blond hair and his blue eyes, he had whisker marks on his cheeks. He didn't have much clothes like Kasumi had, so he just went with what he had, most of the time like his black shorts and the white shirt with an Uzumaki swirl on its back. Unlike his sister he was more mature and intelligent than all the kids his age even some people who were older than him.
Naruto had also asked his parents a thousand times if they could train him too like Kasumi, so he could become ninja but they always said the same thing.
"Sorry Naruto but your sister needs the training more than you do, if she doesn't get good at controlling her powers she could hurt herself or someone else when she joins the ninja academy" said Minato as he and Kushina went back to training their daughter.
Today was October 9th the day before the defeat of the mighty Kyuubi no Yoko (Nine tailed fox) and the birthday of their saviour. Naruto was going to ask his parents again if they could train him, or if he could at least join the ninja academy next year. Naruto didn't realize it but today was the day everything was going to change for him, just before he could knock on the door he heard his father and Mother talking.
"You know what Kushina-hime?" Minato asked his red haired wife, she turned to him now focusing on the young kage.
"Today at the birthday party I plan on allowing Kasumi-chan to sign the toad contract." Minato told her. Kushina looked at him like he was crazy or something.
"Don't you think that it's a little too soon for her to sign the contract?" she said in a concerning voice.
"Not at all, once she signs it I will begin to teach her the Rasengan," Minato said.
"Why do you want her to learn so much so soon Minato-kun." asked Kushina.
"I won't have my child go out into the world and get herself killed because she wasn't prepared." said Minato.
"I see that's understandable." said Kushina.
"But that's not all I think Kasumi will be better as the heir of our clan so I will announce on her birthday that she will be mine heiress." said Minato shocking Kushina and Naruto who was listening outside their room.
"But doesn't that title usually belong to the first born child?" asked Kushina still shocked.
"Yes but I know she would be better leader than Naruto and I am the leader of our clan also the Hokage so no one can do anything about it." said Minato not realizing that his words would have serious impact in the future.
"Now come let's prepare before we go finish Kasumi's training for today." said Minato getting a nod from the red headed woman but neither of them knew that their son had heard the whole talk.
After what he heard Naruto couldn't contain his tears anymore, he was in pain feeling betrayed even more than he was before. He had enough he turned away and started running, he was going to run away from the village and he would never come back. When he was out of the house he stopped for a second and looked back tears still falling from his eyes before he started running again.
Villagers were getting ready for the tomorrow's celebration of the defeat of the great demon; none of the people on the road saw the little blond boy running away not even the guards that were watching the main gate did not see him.
He ran and ran until his legs couldn't carry him any farther and he just fell against one of the many trees in the forest around Konoha (leaf village). He continued to cry asking himself why they didn't love him like they did Kasumi or at least a little like her. Naruto could tell it was getting late with the moon shining brightly in the dark sky and now Naruto thought to himself wondering what he should do. He didn't take anything with him when he ran into the forest; was this the end for him, would he die from hunger or be eaten by some wild animal.
"Hey kid what are you doing alone in the forest." a stranger's voice came from his left.
When Naruto looked he saw a man in his early twenties who stood at least five foot ten inches tall. He had blue hair and brown eyes with a reddish tattoo across his right eye. He wore a whitish blue shirt under a hooded dark blue coat with a bag hung over his back. (The same bag as Gildarts.)
"Who are you?" Naruto asked trying not to sound scared of the stranger.
"My name is Jellal." the blue haired man said dropping his bag on the ground.
"What's your name," asked the blue haired man now known as Jellal.
"Naruto." the blond responded.
"What are you doing all the way out here Naruto," he asked curious as to why a little kid would be all alone in the forest at this time of night.
Naruto said nothing; instead he sat on the ground and just hugged his legs to his chest. The stranger just looked at him with confused look on his face.
"Will you tell me what's wrong Naruto." asked Jellal sitting near the boy and looking at the sky.
"I ran away from home," Naruto finally said as he dared not make eyes contact with him.
"Why." asked Jellal knowing that for a child to run away then something bad must have happened.
Naruto didn't know if he should tell the blue haired man but something in this guy made him to tell his story. Naruto then told Jellal his story how his father sealed half of the Kyuubi into his sister and the other half into his mother. How his parents always forgot about him at his birthday and other holidays. How they always trained his sister leaving him alone saying to him that Kasumi needs the training more than he does, so she can control the Kyuubi. He even told Jellal about Kasumi's attitude that she had become arrogant as the years went by and most of all the times when she bullied or embarrassed Naruto in front of her friends.
Jellal couldn't believe how this boy's parents could be such assholes, not even giving Naruto a second of their time or even talking with him for at least more than five minutes. They then take what is rightfully his from birth, he was so angry that he unconsciously activated one of his magic spells. Golden flames started sprouting around his hands, but he came back to his sense when he heard Naruto scream, then he realised that he had made Flames of Rebuke in his hands and instantly stopped.
"What was that, these golden flames I have never heard or read about jutsu which gives you control over them," Naruto blurted out in confusion. How this flames appeared from nowhere without any hand signs, and how he didn't even feel chakra coming from the golden flames.
"Well I can tell you how I made them as long as you don't tell anybody about me or what you saw." Said Jellal looking at Naruto, who nodded at such a speed that a human could easily break their neck.
And so Jellal started telling his story, Naruto found out Jellal was from another world; he accidentally came into this world about a month ago because one of his friends named Ultear had accidentally used a skill of hers on him. After that he started telling Naruto that what he did wasn't a jutsu that the ninja used in this world.
Jellal's power was called Magic, the power the people use in Earthland, the world he came from. He even told him about his past how he was controlled into thinking he was doing good by trying to revive the most evil man from his world. When Jellal finished he looked at Naruto asking him if he understood.
Naruto on the other hand was looking him with stars in his eyes, he wanted to ask him a thousand more questions but only one of them was coming to him at the moment.
"Um Jellal could you teach me how to use Magic?" asked Naruto looking at Jellal still with stars in his eyes, which the blue haired man sweat dropped at.
"Well I really don't know, from what I have seen of your world; it has even more Magical power than ours. Although I couldn't feel any magic power from the people I met so far," Jellal said seeing that Naruto had saddened a little bit.
"So how can I unlock this Magical Power?" Naruto asked.
"Well in our world only 5% of the population can unlock their magical powers and for these people it comes naturally," Jellal said seeing that Naruto had become depressed.
"But there is one other way but It's really dangerous," the Blue haired Man said seeing the hope written on the boy's face.
"What is it, please I want to at least try it," Naruto said with fire burning passionately in his eyes.
"Naruto its way too dangerous, but from what I can see in your eyes you are determined to do it," Jellal said getting a nod from the blond boy.
"The other way to unlock magical power is me shocking you with pure magical power, which could unlock your magical powers but there is a chance you might die." Jellal said thinking when he said about the chance of death.
The boy backed off little but Naruto was still determined, and Jellal liked his determination, it reminded him of the pink haired dragon slayer he met a few years ago.
"Jellal before you do it I have a question, will you take me as your student. If I unlock my magical power and can you teach me how to use magic," Naruto asked worried. What if he had said no, but he had just started liking Jellal.
"Naruto I would be honoured to have someone like you, with so much determination and intelligence as my student, even if you don't unlock your magic, would you like to travel with me around the Nations?," Jellal said seeing Naruto was starting to cry. Jellal heard Naruto mumble a 'thank you' which made Jellal smile.
"Are you ready?" he asked Naruto.
"Yes" Naruto said while he lay down on the ground.
Jellal crouched on Naruto's left side and started gathering pure magical power in his hands. A few seconds later he was ready and his hands touched Naruto's chest, Jellal sent pure magic into Naruto's body. Naruto felt only one thing pain; the pain in his chest it was unimaginable and he screamed.
It only lasted about ten seconds but to Naruto it felt like hours, after it was done he saw Jellal smiling before he fell unconscious. Jellal was amazed he thought that this wouldn't work because everyone who tried to open their magical power this way in his world never opened their magic powers. Worse possible scenario they just died from the strain on their bodies form the pure magical power, or that they're insides would explode outwards.
But somehow this boy managed to unlock his magical power, and his was really potent from what Jellal felt, the blue haired man saw a few things had changed in the little boy, his sun-kissed hair was now white as snow, and he had somehow managed to grow a few inches.
'This kid is really amazing he managed to do something no one from my world has ever done, it will be fun training this kid for sure. I wonder what I should do if his parents start searching for him, hmm…I have an idea' Jellal thought with an evil smile.
'I will make them regret neglecting their own son; no parent should ever do such a thing to their own child so beware.' Jellal thought to himself. Not noticing how there was a different power still within the boy. That had started to mix with the Magic.
A few hours later
It had been a few hours since Naruto had unlocked his Magical powers and he was starting to wake up. When he opened his eyes he saw it was still dark out but he felt somehow different. He felt even more powerful than he did before; he also felt some strange energy inside him he never felt before. He also felt another energy signature a little different than his energy but it was from the same origin, he then heard Jellal's voice trying to get his attention.
"Oh finally awake now Naruto," Jellal asked still a little puzzled how this boy woke up so fast.
"Yes um Jellal did I manage to unlock the Magical powers," Naruto asked nervously waiting for an answer from the blue haired man who had no emotions on his face.
"Naruto I can only say one thing…" Jellal said making the white haired boy even more nervous.
"Congratulations, you actually managed to do it," Jellal said as his emotionless face disappeared and he was now showing a big grin on his face. When the white haired boy saw Jellal's grin he sighed with relief.
"I am impressed Naruto no one until now has ever managed to unlock there magical power this way," Jellal said.
"Hmmm…maybe it was my Uzumaki body that saved me," said Naruto getting a confused look from the blue haired man.
"Care to explain?" Jellal asked wanting an explanation.
"Well by Uzumaki body I mean those who inherit the Uzumaki blood instantly make their body more durable, we also have incredible longevity and life force, it's because the Uzumaki are related to the senju clan, I'm the only one who knows of this in my family, but the reason is because of the sage of the six paths, you see the sage had a God like body and life force and chakra, so when he had two sons, his powers was split, to the elder son went the eyes of the sage and his spiritual chakras, to the younger son went the sages body and his life force and physical chakras, the Uzumaki clan are a branch of clan of the Senju. So they inherited the Senju's DNA." explained Naruto.
"So that's why you were able to unlock your magical power with so much life force you couldn't die from just being exposed to pure magic." Jellal analysed before returning back to Naruto
"Tell me Naruto do you feel any energy around you?" Jellal asked
"Yes I do feel it, at first I thought it was strange, but now I think it's making me even stronger. Also I can sense energy coming from you but it feels the same as mine" Naruto said.
"That's really good, it shows that you are aware of the magic around you; you even sensed my own magical powers" the blue haired man said praising the little boy.
"Now the next thing you need to do, is concentrate and feel the magic within you. Then concentrate that power into your hand and make sparks dance around your fingers" Jellal said in a teacher like manner.
"Umm Jellal-sensei how do I make a spark around my fingers?" Naruto asked.
"Well it's pretty easy just think of a spark." Jellal said at which Naruto nodded.
Naruto then started concentrating looking for his magical power in him, a few minutes later he felt it in him and he started concentrating his magic in his hand. He started thinking about sparks but an amazing thing just happened. There were no sparks but in its place was a fireball the size of Naruto's fist, but it disappeared a few seconds later and Naruto felt exhausted. Jellal was stunned at this but it wasn't for long.
'Ohh this will be even more fun teaching him then I first thought.' Jellal thought to himself.
"Congratulations my apprentice for passing your first test but you should know I am not an easy teacher. My training might seem like hell at times to you but it will help you in the long run when you learn how to use magic," Jellal said.
"Yatta thank you Jellal-sensei but what are you going to teach me?" asked tired looking Naruto.
"That's for later but what should we do about your parents, I don't think they will just let me take you with me" the blue haired man said as the white haired boy started to think what to do.
"Don't think about it Naruto I have a plan, I hope you like it" said Jellal seeing Naruto raising his head up.
"Do you remember when I told you that I was part of a council in my world, when i was a council member I learned a few things that could help us right now" Jellal said as he started explaining his plan to Naruto which the boy really liked.
10th of October
Naruto was back in Konoha to finish the plan that Jellal had thought, to say Naruto really liked the plan was because this plan would allow him to cut all ties with the Namikaze family. Why should he care for them when they didn't even care about him?
He was near his house, if he could catch his father when he wasn't paying attention to him; then he could get him to sign everything over to him. When Naruto reached the house he went in and looked everywhere around but his father was not here. Naruto noticed that his mother and sister weren't here either. Naruto looked around and saw there were thousands of decorations around the whole house, what was written on them was 'Happy Birthday Kasumi'.
The boy knew he missed his first chance to put Jellal's plan into action, but there was one more chance. Naruto went into his room and started preparing his backpack for his journey with Jellal. He had one more stop before he could leave; and that was to stop at his father's library and that was his second chance.
It was easy to get into the library since it was never locked because no one except someone with Namikaze or Uzumaki blood could get into the library without permission. Naruto went inside and found the original notes for the Kage Bunshin no jutsu and his father's famous technique the Rasengan and all his father's other jutsu's, he even took special jutsu's on wind jutsu's. Naruto didn't take these techniques so he could learn them, no he had other plans for these jutsus.
'These Jutsus will help me and Jellal earn money if we sell them to one of the great villages like Iwagakure, they will be so trill to have the Rasengan in their hands.' Naruto thought while collecting the jutsu's he left the library to pack the notes in his backpack and then made his way to the Hokage's office.
Naruto was already near the Hokage's office when he saw that the festival was going to start in less than an hour and he knew that his father had mostly paperwork to do at this time. He knew he could make his father sign it with a little whining and some petty promise. A few minutes later he was in front of the Hokage's office with a sheet of paper in his hand. Jellal had enhanced this piece of paper with an Illusion magic so that the Hokage couldn't see what he was signing.
Naruto took in a deep breath before knocking on the door of the Hokage's office. He didn't wait long before a 'come in' was heard from the inside. Naruto pushed the door open and walked in to see the Yondaime was almost done with his paperwork.
Minato looked up and saw that Naruto was standing near the door but he went back to his paperwork immediately after seeing him.
"What is it Naruto can't you see I'm really busy right now, I have to finish this as fast as I can," Minato said still looking at his paperwork while Naruto rolled his eyes.
"I was wondering if you could sign this, it's for a friend please," Naruto said whining a little.
"Naruto stop whining I am really busy right now." Minato said not caring even a little for what Naruto asked which angered Naruto a little.
"Please sign this and I won't ever ask you or mother for training ever again." Pleaded Naruto placing the magic enhanced paper in front Minato
"Fine," Minato said hoping that he would keep his promise as he signed and stamped the paper, "there."
"Thank you." said Naruto before running out of the Hokage's office. After he got out of the office he gathered a little Magical power in his hand and touched the paper which broke the Illusion on it.
'Good thing it was so simple to break such an illusion or it would have been harder to get the form sign' Naruto thought.
A few minutes later he was in the records office where he gave the paper to the secretary. She read it and looked at Naruto with eyes full of pity/confusion as to why his father would give his 11 year old son emancipation from his clan. But who was she to question the Hokage's choices, so she stamped it and filed it with the other emancipation files. She then gave a copy of the form back to Naruto, he just thanked her and left to finish the things for his departure.
When Naruto reached the Namikaze house he went in and saw his former mother and sister doing something together. Kushina saw him and waved at him but Naruto didn't react at all, and Kasumi didn't care at all if Naruto was here or not, so she continued to do what she was doing.
When he reached his room he just waited a few more hours for the moment when he could leave the village, he could hear the people celebrating downstairs. It was almost time for the gathering in the center of the village.
When everyone looks at the fireworks then that would be the moment for Naruto to disappear and maybe never return. His thoughts were interrupted by a knock at his door, when he went to see who it was he saw the one man that always remembered his birthday it was Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Naruto what happened to your hair, why is it white?" Hiruzen asked which surprised Naruto because he had forgot that his hair was now white.
"I don't know why Hiruzen-sama maybe somebody must have pranked me, anyway I like my new hair colour better," said Naruto with an innocent voice.
"Ok Naruto as long you like it then that's ok, oh before I forget here I got you something Happy Birthday Naruto," Sarutobi said giving Naruto a wooden box, which when he opened it he found a beautiful Katana.
The Katana's hilt was warped in a dark wrapping with an outlining series of rhombs on it; the hand guard was beautifully made in the form of a four leave clover. The scabbard was dark in colour and had a decorative rope tied around its middle part in a ribbon, with two edges left hanging.
Naruto didn't know what to say only Sarutobi knew that Naruto loved swords it had only started as a hobby. Naruto started reading about swords and how to take care of them, while his father and mother were training Kasumi. He had asked them a few times if he could take one of his mother's old swords but like always they said no.
"Hiruzen-sama I don't know what to say, I can't even start expressing how I feel right now." Naruto said.
"No worries Naruto I can understand how you feel right now and you're welcome. This sword belonged to the first leader of the Sarutobi clan but he was the only one in our clan who could wield this katana," the previous Hokage said surprising Naruto.
"Hiruzen-sama I don't know if I can accept this as a gift, this sword is a treasure of your family." Naruto said.
"Nonsense Naruto I know you will take good care of it," the old man said smiling.
'Also Binako didn't wanted it in the house because little Konohamaru always tries to play with the sword' the old man whispered
"Thank you Hiruzen-sama for such a wonderful gift." said Naruto still looking at the beautiful Katana.
"No problem Naruto, I understand you don't want to go down but I have to go before one of my students does something that he will regret, also here's some kenjutsu scrolls." Hiruzen said saying good bye to Naruto while handing it to him.
"Good bye Sarutobi-sama let's hope we meet each other again," Naruto whispered but when he said that he didn't realize that the previous Hokage had heard him.
Hiruzen had found out about Naruto's emancipation from the secretary because she was a member of the Sarutobi clan. She had told him about a little boy that had come and given her the document. So he had a few question for Minato, why would he do this to his own son but he wasn't going to ask him this question on his kid's birthday.
It was almost midnight and the fireworks were going to start any minute so almost everyone in the village started gathering in the center of the village. While this was happening Naruto was still in his room and he knew it was time to go. He took his already packed backpack then he strapped his present from the 3rd Hokage on his back and took out a letter from his pocket and left it on the night stand.
He went through the front door knowing that everyone was in the center of the village by now, he looked at his former home for the last time before running towards the main gate. In a few minutes he was in near the Main gate but the Hokage had left ninjas guarding it so he had to think of way to distract them or he would never be able to leave.
While Naruto was thinking what to do he didn't see the blur of light knocking all the ninja unconscious, Naruto looked at who was the cause who knocked all the guards out and saw it was Jellal. The blue haired mage felt the little white haired boy's magical power coming from near the bushes.
"Naruto come out I took care of the ninjas, so let's go before more of them come to investigate!" Jellal shouted which made Naruto immediately react and showed he was in the bushes.
"How did you do that they were all standing just a couple seconds ago?" Naruto asked amazed.
When he suddenly felt his body was becoming lighter, a pair of strong hands suddenly gripped his shoulders. He glanced up and saw Jellal surrounded by a golden aura before he shot of like a rocket carrying him; but what stunned him the most was that Jellal was now flying.
Finally the Teacher and his new apprentice disappeared into the forest that surrounded around Konoha. Naruto knew from that moment his life would change forever.
Neither of them noticed the dark shadow watching them like a hawk.
Here's my new chapter 1.
