Naruto of the Raging Waters

Chapter 1

A Disappearance?

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO!

"Speaking"

'Thoughts'

"Jutsu/Tailed Beast Talk"

Pairing Warning: This will be Naruto x Mei. This pairing has always intrigued me and I have decided to make my first story this pairing. This will only be Naruto and Mei, no harem.

Jutsu Warning: I have decided to have a Mist ninja capture the notes on Minato's Hiraishin Jutsu, and let Naruto learn it after a certain period of time. This capture will take place when Naruto is taken to the Mist.

Age: I am going to make Mei Naruto's age. I know this may effect the canon, but this story will not follow the canon at all. It will have some references, like maybe some of the same sort of mission, but it will be different all together.

Elemental Affinities: Naruto will have Wind, Fire, and Earth, letting him use the Jinton (Dust Release). Mei will retain all of the bloodlines she has in canon, a.k.a. Futton (Boil Release), and Yoton (Corrosion Style).

It is chaos in the Leaf Village. The Kyuubi (Nine Tails) has appeared out of nowhere and the ninja of the Leaf are trying to stop its horrible rampage. Of the ninja present, we can see the Sandaime Hokage, (Third Fire Shadow), Hiruzen Sarutobi. He is busy giving orders to the remaining Leaf ninjas, trying to united them to join in a synchronized attack against the beast.

"Ninja of the Leaf! We must stall the beast long enough for the Yondaime Hokage (Fourth Fire Shadow) Minato Namikaze to come help us! Trust in the strength of your fellow ninja and FIGHT!"

Although no one could tell it, Hiruzen had no idea when Minato was going to get there to help ninja, but what he did know is that he was with his wife Kushina Uzumaki, and their unborn child Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. Being the great Hokage and friend Hiruzen was, he swore that he would at least keep the child safe. And if the only way to keep him safe was to stop the beast at the cost of his own life, then by Kami he would do it.


(Unknown Location)

"Hang in there, Kushina! I know you can do it, honey!" Kushina nearly shudders in anger at Minato, probably a side effect of currently give birth.

"WHY DON'T YOU COME HERE AND HAVE THE BABY MINATO!" Minato yelps and runs into the corner. The nurses stare at him and they all think the same thing.

'Some husband he going to be…'

And then it happens. Baby Naruto is introduced into the world. Both Kushina and Minato are looking over at their child, a look of love and care in their eyes. Minato knew that the Kyuubi seal weakens during child birth, so he had to strengthen the seal on Kushina before something bad happens.

"Ok Kushina, honey. I am going to restore the seal back to full strength for you ok? Just hang on, it will only…take…a…moment..."

Minato looks around the room to see all of the nurses killed laying in pools of blood. Minato then scours the room, trying to find who was responsible for this. He was about to look out side when he heard someone say, "Are you looking for these people, Yondaime?"

Minato quickly spins around, his eyes widening in horror when he realizes that his son and his wife are in the arms of a stranger with a yellow mask with some sort of design on it. He can see that the mask has one eye hole so the man can see, and he can feel an ominous power coming from his eye. "Who are you!? Please, let's just calm down and please return my family to me…"

"Oh I am as calm as can be Yondaime. You are the one shaking right now. I am sorry, but I need your wife for the demon she holds within her. And your son is the perfect bargaining chip. Once I am done with your wife, your son will die."

"NO!" Minato shouted as he teleported him and the masked man into a different part of Konoha using the Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God).

(A.N. I'm sure you guys know how this battle goes, so I am going to skip it…sorry about that. This wont happen often.)


Back in the Main part of Konohagakure (Village Hidden in the Leaves)

Here we can see the Sandaime and the others are still fighting the Kyuubi. It seems like they are losing the fight, when all of a sudden, a giant toad comes flying out of the sky and crushes the Kyuubi under itself. On top of this toad, none other than the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze, is seen. "Ninpo: Kuchiyose: Yatai Kuzushi no Jutsu!" (Ninja Art: Summoning: Bring Down the House Technique!) Minato yelled, looking down at the village, absolutely furious about what happened to the village during his fight with the Masked Man. (A.N. I should explain. The Masked Man and Minato do battle. Minato reveals the Hiraishin Level 2 technique, forcing the Masked Man to retreat. Sorry about the confusion)

"Everyone look! It's the Yondaime! We're saved!" Shouted some random Leaf ninja. A chorus of cheers and cries were heard after the ninja shouted this. Minato, seeing the damage of the village, thinks to himself, 'I will have to teleport the Kyuubi away from the village, and seal it into Naruto! I am sorry, Kushina…'

"Minato-boy! Hurry! I can't hold my grip for much longer!" Gamabunta, the boss summon of the toads, shouts to his summoner.

"Got it, Chief Toad! Here goes! Hiraishin! (Flying Thunder God!)"

A large yellow flash shows across the battlefield. When everyone looks again, all that is left is a hole where the Kyuubi used to be. The civilians, thinking the Kyuubi was defeated, started cheering. Though the Sandaime and the ANBU of the village knew better. They then hear a large explosion echo throughout the village. They turn and see a large ball erupt into a storm of flames and energy. "There! ANBU, follow me!" Hiruzen shouted, as they all ran towards the source of the explosion.

Location of the Explosion

"Ugh…I finally sealed the Kyuubi with the Shiki Fūjin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal). I am truly sorry, Naruto, for making you live with this burden. My final wish is that all of the villagers see you as a hero for what you have done. Goodbye, my son…"

And with that, Minato Namikaze, Yondaime Hokage of Konohagakure, died.

In the Village, where the Vault of Secrets are

"Here it is! The notes on the Yondaime's Hiraishin and the Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere)! If I take this back to Kiri, I will be rewarded richly!" A ninja from the Mist shouts. He looked around to see if anything else was of value, but he then decided that he should leave while he could and ran off. Little did he know, he was headed in the direction of where a certain baby Naruto lay. When he got there, he saw Naruto laying in a crib, with a seal on his stomach.

"Who is this kid? He kinda resembles the Yondaime…actually…he really looks like him! This must be his son! If I take him back to Kirigakure (Village Hidden in the Mist), we will surely have a talented ninja at our beckoning!" With this in mind, he then took off towards his village, the notes on the Hiraishin, the Rasengan and a little Naruto safely in his possession.


Kirigakure (Village Hidden in the Mist)

The Mist ninja felt accomplished. Not only did he have the Yondaime's most famous Jutsu in his possession, he also had his son! He certainly knew that this would at least make him a Jonin Commander at least! 'The Mizukage (Water Shadow) will be so happy!' He thinks. Emphasis on thinks. As he arrives at the Mizukage's palace, the Mizukage rises and says to the ninja, "Well Kenji, what have you here? Who is this child that you have within your grasp?"

"Sir, these notes are the notes on the Yondaime's most famous Jutsu, the Hiraishin and the Rasengan! This kid here is the Yondaime's son that I found in a crib with mysterious markings on his chest. Now, let us discuss my reward..."

"While taking the notes of the Yondaime is a great aspect to our village, you could have caused war by taking his child! I will not allow someone like you within my ninja ranks, one who only thinks of himself and the rewards he will get! TORRENT! Kill this man immediately! Get him out of my sight NOW!" The Mizukage shouts at his personal body guards. The guards make quick work of Kenji, and leave to have his body taken care of. 'Well, I certainly can't take him back, as that would give the Leaf a reason to start war with me...I think that I will have to keep this boy. Maybe he won't be so bad to have around here. But he will have to have a family to live with. I guess the only proper thing is for me to take him into the Kazama clan, my very own. I have a feeling that things are going to get pretty lively around here soon..."


Author Notes: This is the prologue of my story, Naruto of the Raging Waters. I will try to make the next chapters longer, I promise. I appreciate all reviews and criticism you all may throw at me, but I do not appreciate flamers. Please do not flame. This is my first story, and I will not have it ruined by someone who thinks they can do better. Anyways, R&R!
