Hey DarkDragonOfChaosAndDeath here with a new idea, so if you decided to give it a try you're in for a ride
chapter 1
'Why now? Why won't these villagers just leave me alone?' A small child could be seen being pursued by a mob of nearly 100 villagers. All of which holding pitchforks, knives, and other makeshift weapons.
The child looked to be about five years old with sun-kissed skin, deep ocean blue eyes, rugged blonde hair, and three whisker marks on his cheeks. The child was obviously malnourished, as his ribs could be seen through his skin.
This child was none other than Naruto Uzumaki, the jailer of the nine-tailed demon fox. The reason for the boy running from the villagers is because it was the day of the annual 'fox-hunt' as the villagers called it.
However, this day was, in fact, Naruto's birthday and the same day the demon fox attacked and destroyed most of Konoha. " Stop running you demon! It's time we finished what the fourth started!" a random villager shouted angrily.
The shout was followed by cheers of agreement from the rest of the Naruto turned a corner hoping to escape the crazed villagers and seek sanctuary behind a dumpster, but he was quickly surrounded by the overwhelming numbers.
Seeing that the boy was backed into a corner the bloodthirsty villagers pounced on the small child. The child's screams of pain and terror flowed into the night. As the beating slowly stopped a man stepped to the front of the group brandishing a sword, which he used to pierce Naruto's chest screaming into the young boy's face, "This is for killing our families and taking our Hokage away from us!"
Unknown to the large group of angry of villagers a ghostly figure watched the whole ordeal in disgust.
-Inside Naruto's stomach-
"First they beat and burn me, but did they really have to throw me in a sewer?", Naruto asked himself before standing and looking at his new surroundings. From where the boy stood he could see two distinctly different pipe systems.
One system carried a blue liquid while the other carried a red liquid. Deciding that he spent enough time in this sewer Naruto started walking following the pipes until he heard what sounded like crying. 'No way... there can't be someone else down here can it?'
Running as fast as his legs could carry him Naruto followed the sound through the twists and turns of the sewer. Finally arriving at the source of the crying Naruto found himself in front of a gate that seemed to extend into the sky for an eternity.
Behind the gate was a woman that had deep crimson hair, pale skin, blood red slitted eyes, nine soft red fox tails, and an hourglass figure. As fate would have it the most notable thing about this woman beside the nine tails was that she was completely naked. A fact that made Naruto blush deeply, 'B-beautiful, but what is she doing here?'
Feeling he should try to comfort the mysterious woman Naruto slipped through the bars of the gate. Walking over to the kneeling woman he places a hand on her shoulder, "Hey, why are you crying? What are you doing in this sewer?" Upon hearing Naruto's voice the woman turned to him and wrapped the now thoroughly embarrassed boy in her arms.
"I-I'm so Sorry... it's my fault the villagers treat you like this!", the woman cried into Naruto's chest. Instead of talking Naruto simply embraced the strange woman. "What do you mean you're the cause of my treatment," the boy asked tilting his head in confusion.
"I'm the Kyuubi no Yoko, but my real name is Kyu. The villagers hate you because I'm sealed inside you, right now we're inside the side and you're slowly dying... its all my fault. Please forgive m-me Naruto." To say Naruto was stunned would be an understatement, here he was holding the cause of his torment at the hands of the same villages he wanted to gain the respect of.
"It's ok Kyu-chan. I'm sure you didn't mean to attack the village, so I forgive you dattebayo!"As this was happening neither noticed a shallow mist seeping into the cage."I must say I never imagined I'd see the great Kyuubi begging for forgiveness," a deep, chilling voice was heard throughout his head Naruto nearly jumped in fright at the sight before him.
Standing not 10 feet away was the shinigami. "Ahhh scary ghost-thing!", Naruto yelled backing away from the shinigami's towering figure. "Oh will you calm down, and I'm not a ghost I'm THE shinigami I demand respect!", the imposing ghostly pale spirit yelled at the panicking boy.
"If you're here that means you're going to take my soul," Naruto shouted back at the god of death momentarily standing still. "Normally that would be the case, but what those damned villagers did to you makes me sick to my stomach. Instead, I came to keep you from dying, and to propose an offer to you."
This caught both Naruto and Kyuubi by surprise. "What type of offer," the now curious Naruto asked, "Also how are you going to keep me from dying?" Light flooded the cage making the boy shield his eyes to protect his vision.
"I will make you my champion Naruto. You will be trained by me and the spirits of the best warriors the world has ever seen," the now soft and melodic voice came from a woman who stood where the large spirit stood before.
Naruto looked in awe at the goddess before looked to be in her late teens with pale skin that seemed to glow the dim light, long dark hair, piercing grey eyes, and a body women would kill to have. "I will also grant you one wish if you accept, and it can be whatever you desire as long as it is within my power."
Naruto's eyes widened at the thought of this seemingly perfect proposition. "If you would let me Shinigami-chan I'd be more than happy to become your champion. As for my wish can I get back to you on that?" Naruto was clearly mulling over all the possibilities of what he could wish for.
Naruto had accepted the shinigami's terms, and learned that her name was actually Shinako. He sat in the murky water pondering to himself what he should wish for, "A super cool justu? No, the respect of all the villagers. Actually, I want to earn that myself." Naruto continued to mull over the possibilities.
Kyu slowly walked over to the small boy before embracing him from behind, "You should bring your mother here. She was the only human I've ever respected, and I'm sure that she would be very upset with your treatment at the hands of the villagers," Kyu said while stroking Naruto's golden locks.
Naruto thought about the idea before nodding his head in agreement. Turning towards where Shinako was standing, Naruto stood with a determined expression on his face. "Shinako-chan I wish to bring my mother back to life," Naruto said with excitement shining in his eyes.
"Are you sure this is what you desire? I will not allow any retries with this," Shinako asked peering into Naruto's confident cerulean eyes. "Of course this is what I want Dattebayo," Naruto declared before taking on a crestfallen tone. "I've been alone for my whole life. I want someone that will love me, and not just say it so they can hurt me like the villagers do." Naruto's hair covered his eyes as he stared at the ground before looking up, and meeting Shinako's gaze with fire in his eyes.
"Very well, your mother shall be revived after you sign this contract. Then your training shall begin, and ask your Hokage about getting into the ninja academy." Shinako produces a large scroll with space for Naruto to sign his name, which he does before the light starts to engulf the cage the three beings were standing in. "It seems that is time for you to wake up young Naruto. I'll be seeing you soon."
-Outside the seal/ Konoha General Hospital-
Naruto could hear voices around him, although one stood out to him. It was the voice of his surrogate grandfather, Hiruzen Sarutobi the third Hokage of Konoha. "How did this happen? The boy was supposed to be under constant watch, especially near the time of his birthday," Hiruzen roared at the ANBU in front of him who was trembling slightly.
"Jiji?" Naruto's tiny voice alerted the two that were in the room that he was awake. "Naruto-Kun I'm sorry this has gotten this far. Please forgive this foolish old man," Hiruzen bowed his head in shame. "It's ok Hokage-Jiji, but I have a request," Naruto steeled his gaze before continuing.
"I want to get into the Academy, is that possible Hokage-Jiji?" Upon hearing his The elder looked up at Naruto and seeing his resolve nodded before saying, "Yes you can Naruto my boy. However, you won't be able to get into the academy until you turn six next year. Are you willing to wait for it?"
Naruto flashed a fox-like grin before nodding his head. "Of course Hokage-Jiji. Just you wait I'll be a strong shinobi and take your hat in no time, dattebayo!" Naruto cheered all the while pumping his fist in the air. Hiruzen couldn't help but smile at the child's antics before turning to the ANBU in the room.
"Summon Hebi and Inu immediately," the fire shadow said before the masked shinobi disappeared from view in a swirl of leaves and wind. Naruto's eyes gleamed at the prospect of becoming a shinobi for his village. 'Soon the villagers will have no choice but to respect me, dattebayo!' Naruto thought to himself.
A short while later two masked shinobi appeared kneeling before the Hokage "Reporting for duty Hokage-same," was heard ringing through the room. 'Hebi' was wearing an ivory mask with what looked to be snake-like markings on the front of it. The figure was that of a womanly build, with her purple hair pulled into a pineapple ponytail.
'Inu' who was slightly taller than his female counterpart, had a mask that was obviously styled to look like a wolf's head. The man had a lean build with silver gravity-defying hair. "Inu and Hebi, you are to apprehend and bring the ones responsible for attacking Naruto-Kun to the T&I department immediately," Hiruzen ordered the ANBU before dismissing them.
"Hokage- Jiji c-can you take me shopping when I'm released?" an embarrassed Naruto asked. "of course we can, but why would you like me to come along? You should know that as the Hokage I'm a busy man." Hiruzen voiced his confusion while Naruto rubbed the back of his head.
"Well you see, the villagers charge be unfair prices for the most basic things. If you were there I think it'd go a lot smoother." Naruto said with a nervous laugh. Hiruzen sighed at the statement grimly thinking, 'Those villagers can't see the difference between the kunai and the scroll.'
The older man nodded to Naruto's request making the boy jump yelling gleefully, "Yes, I'm gonna be the strongest shinobi the village has ever seen!"
-one week later/ Konoha shopping district-
Naruto could be seen walking by Hiruzen's side dressed in a simple black shirt with a red swirl design on the back and brown shorts. "Jiji can we get me some new clothes first," Naruto asked excitedly before the fire shadow followed him into a clothing store.
"You damn demon I told you..." the shopkeeper trailed off when he realized the Hokage was accompanying the adolescent boy. "You told him what," the powerful elder asked dangerously as if daring the man to say the wrong answer.
"I-I told him that he's always welcome h-here Hokage-same," the shopkeeper stuttered out. Hiruzen nodded before speaking, "Good, then you'll have no problem helping the boy find what he's looking for."
The way that the village leader spoke left no room for argument, and so the shopkeeper reluctantly helped Naruto pick out his new clothes. By the time Naruto had picked out five pairs of two styles.
The first being a black long-sleeve shirt with a white swirl design on the left shoulder, jet black ANBU pants, and navy blue shinobi sandals. The second style consisted of a forest green tee-shirt covered by a black vest, navy blue ANBU pants, and black shinobi sandals.
At the register, the clerk totaled the cost for all the clothes without adding extra fees because of the watchful eyes of the third Hokage. "That will be 6,000 Ryo," (A/N: I'm going with 1 USD=10 Ryo) The Hokage paid for the clothes, and the two walked to a nearby shinobi store where the elder of the village once again threatened the clerk to be fair with Naruto.
When all was said and done Naruto happily carried his new clothes and had a small tanto that seemed to have called out to him while inside the weapons shop strapped to his back.
Shortly after escorting Naruto back to his small apartment the Hokage took his leave to return to his duties in the Hokage tower. When Naruto walked into the dark dilapidated apartment looking around the small space with a sad expression.
'I'll have to find some way to fix this place up soon.' Naruto thought to himself not noticing the glowing light coming from the bedroom down the hall. Having done enough moping about the state of his apartment Naruto quickly got into the shower before heading to his bedroom.
When Naruto opened the door he was confused to see a woman lightly snoring in his bed. The woman had long, following crimson hair, creamy skin, and of course like a lot of strange women Naruto had been meeting lately, she was completely nude.
"Why do I keep finding random naked ladies? Actually better question. Why is she in my bed naked!?" Naruto screamed to himself in his head. While Naruto was panicking of what to do about the naked lady in his bed the object of his panic started to open her eyes.
Seeing the woman sit up Naruto blushed with only one word coming to mind 'B-Beautiful.' The woman's deep sapphire eyes gazed into Naruto's cerulean orbs before brightening in recognition. "Naru-chan," was all the woman said before she tackled the boy whose face was red with embarrassment.
"Who are you lady? Put some clothes on please! Naruto shouted as a tick mark formed on the woman's head. "Is that any way to talk to your mother you brat!?" the woman now identified as Naruto's mother bellowed after hitting him over the head. rubbing the bump that formed on the top of his head Naruto started in awe at the woman.
"S-So you're my K-Kaa-chan?" Naruto asked stumbling over his words because his mother was still naked in front of him. "That's right my little Naru-chan. I'm Kushina Uzumaki, your Kaa-chan." the woman said lovingly while gently embracing Naruto's trembling form.
