'Bijuu/demon text'
-Konoha-
October 10, why is day so important you may ask? Well this day marks death of Konoha's beloved Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze or better known as the 'Yellow Flash' who sacrificed himself to kill the demon that attacked the village, the most strongest Bijuu, the Kyuubi no Kitsune. Or as most been on told in the official stories, what they didn't know that a Bijuu can't be killed, only sealed away, as on that same day a young infant life was forever changed, that infant now recently turned 5 years old was none other than Naruto Uzumaki or his real name Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze as he is Minato's son. Naruto lived a very harsh life as he was the receiving end the villager's anger as they only saw him as the Kyuubi reborn as word got out that he was the jailor of the Kyuubi. As such no one ever tried to befriend him, all they did was beat him, denied him any services and simply made his life a living hell. On this day Naruto was once again subject to the villagers' cruelty to him as on his way to meet with one of the few people that didn't hate him, the re-instated Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the elderly Hokage who he saw as a 'grandfather' figure, while he was heading towards the Hokage tower he was ambush by a group of Konoha civilian's and shinobi's, they had cornered him and proceeded to beat the child with wooden planks, beer bottles and other things they could find, once the mob disperse after being satisfied with their handy work a group shinobi, who still weren't satisfied stayed, the group consisted for ten Chunin and three Jonin. They had taken him to a clearing a few miles away from Konoha and began to beat on him continuously, which brings us to the present time.
'Why?' Naruto thought to himself as one of the Chunin kicked his face, 'why can't they see the difference between a kunai and a scroll?' much to contrary belief Naruto was never the idiot he portrayed himself to be, in fact he was very intellectual for someone of his age almost as smart as a Nara, as the idiot self that he let the whole village sees was nothing more than a mask he hide behind, his goofy smile wasn't his own just something he copied from what he saw from the villagers, he never knew what happiness was only sadness, despair and loneliness.
"How you like that you demon?" asked a Chunin as he stab Naruto's shoulder with a kunai. Naruto never replied, due to him slowly losing consciousness, said blonde had been beaten consecutively for three hours before hand, his once white shirt was ripped and stain with blood from the various kunais and shuriken that punctured his skin. The same Chunin thought that Naruto was ignoring him and cause his rage to grow more.
"What I'm not worth speaking to? Is that it!?" he then threw several shuriken's that struck Naruto's stomach.
"The Sandaime is a fool to let you live! He may have fallen for your demonic spell but not us."
"You killed my family!"
"You destroyed our homes!"
"You killed my loved ones!"
"You killed a lot of my friends!"
"You killed the Yondaime Hokage!"
As they ranted and continued to beat down on Naruto's defenseless state, no one besides Naruto heard screams of anger. "HOW DARE THEY!" screamed a demonic voice inside Naruto's head, that voice was belong to the Kyuubi. "Can't they tell the difference between me and my jailor!? How can they be so ignorant to see the difference?"
Last year on Naruto's 4th birthday, after enduring another beating from the villagers, he meet the Kyuubi, not only that he found out that he held the Kyuubi within him but also several other things that shocked him.
(Flashback)
-?-
Naruto slowly open his eyes, he was expecting to find himself in the hospital again since the Hokage came to save his life…again but now he just found himself in some sort of sewer that was dimly lit by the red hazard lights.
"This…isn't so bad I guess." He said to himself, he slowly stood up and looked around trying to figure it where exactly where he was. Just then heard something, it sounded like…sobbing? Who would be crying in place like this or who would even be here to begin with, he decided to follow the sound, he walked down the only pathway in the sewer, he kept walking and walking, it felt like hours as he felt like he was just going down an endless path, soon he arrived at the source of the sobbing, he stood in front of a large cage with various seals placed on the bars as if they were there to keep something in.
"What in the world?"
"I'm sorry." Said a voice behind the bars, the voice was cracked indicating it was the source of the sobbing. Naruto rose and eyebrow, confused he decided to walk closer to the cage as he got closer he began to see a large figure, it was by far larger than him by a landslide, he saw what appeared to be a tail or he should say tails as there were roughly six tails that swayed randomly and what appeared to be a stump of a seventh tail, the creature had a long ears that look like a mixture between a rabbit and fox, and the creature's head was in the shape of a fox however its large clawed arms were blocking most of its faces. Then it him, realizing what or who it was that sat in front of him.
"Kyuubi no Kitsune." He said.
"Kit *sob* I am so sorry," it said, "I never *sob* meant for you to be *sob* threat this way."
Naruto tilted his head, the most powerful Bijuu in the world, the same monster that attack his village 4 years ago…was apologizing to him? This made no sense.
"I don't understand?" he said, grabbing the large fox's attention, "Why would you apologize to me? And better questions why you are here and where are we?"
"Kit to answer your question, to put it simply is that we are in your mindscape a world built around your psyche." He said sadly, "As to why I'm here is because I'm sealed here, within you. You know how the Yondaime 'killed' me 4 years ago correct?" Naruto nodded, "Well you can't kill a Bijuu because we are made of Chakra even if we are killed we'll just reform in a few years, thus you can only seal us."
"I see," Naruto said, he had a calculative look before he spoke again, "And since you are here and this is my mindscape, which would mean the Yondaime sealed you in me." To which the Kyuubi nodded sadly. "I guess that's why the villager hates me?"
"Sadly yes."
"Then you don't have any real reason to apologize to me Kyuubi-san." Naruto said, strangely calm with no hints of malice or anger.
"WHAT!? NO!" Kyuubi cried out as tears threaten to pour out from his eyes, he then drop down to all fours "It was because of me, you are hated," As the Kyuubi began to rant, he did not notice Naruto to slowly walked towards him "Because me so many people died," Naruto kept walking, "Because of me, you were treated poorly," and walking, "I killed your parents, and forced your father to seal me into you." Then Naruto placed his left hand on the Kyuubi's nose which effortlessly stopped his ranting.
"Kyuubi," Naruto said as slowly smiled, in fact this perhaps to his second sincerest smile, "I forgive you, I don't know why but something tells me that in wasn't all your fault and villagers are just blinded by their anger to see the truth so you don't have to blame yourself for what they did."
"Kit," Kyuubi said, 'he's just like you, maybe I can help him in a way of redeeming myself, wouldn't you agree Kushina?' Kyuubi then slowly smiled softly "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
(Flashback ends)
Since then Naruto and the Kyuubi become much friendlier with each other, in fact he learns that the Kyuubi was nothing more than a tittle and learn that the fox's name is Kurama; in fact Kurama has become an older brother figure for him. Kurama mention that Naruto's mother was his previous jailor and that her name was Kushina and that his father was Minato. At first when he heard that his once idol was his father and damned his life to hatred, he immediately lost all respect for him and hated him for his actions, but as time goes on that hate slowly subsided but is still there just not as bad. Kurama told Naruto the real reason why he attack his village, he was ripped out from Kushina's seal and was control by a man claiming to be Madara Uchiha, that man used his Sharingan to control him.
Back to Naruto's current situation, two of the Jonins in the group each pulled out pair large hunter knives and stabbed Naruto's arms and legs pinning him to the ground.
"Now that the demon pin, I say we finish what the forth started." Said a chunin, to which the others soon cheered as well, and began to go through series of hand signs, which Naruto recognize for the Katon: Fireball no jutsu.
'Is this where I die?' Naruto thought to himself giving hope that he will not surive, 'No! I won't die here, I can't! Hiruzen-sama, Teuchi-jiji, Ayame-nee, Anko-nee, Neko-nee, Dolphin-nii, Sparrow-nii, Hinata-chan!' he saw the faces of those people that ever saw him as him and a little brother, the last being the only girl that is his age he rescued from a couple of bullies and that he began to hang out with, as soon began to have a crush on. He watched helplessly as the group finished their hand signs 'I'm sorry'.
"Katon: Fir-"
"Screaming Eagle!" yelled a voice, everyone looked up to suddenly see falling from the sky was a man wearing samurai like armor with his katana drawn, as he landed he lashed one of the Chunin chest as blood sprayed out from the wound, then another man with bright yellow hair like Naruto's but was far more smooth and was in a ponytail ran into the clearing with a combat knife in his hand. One of the Chunin recovered from his shock as he noticed the other man and threw several kunai at him only for them to miss as the other man suddenly appeared behind him and stabbed the Chunin's neck.
"Nope to slow." He said in a slightly cheery and mocking voice. The out of nowhere a man wearing a mask that covered his entire head except his eyes and mouth and a cigarette in his mouth suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stabbed two Chunins in the back causing them to cry out in pain before dropping to the floor dead.
"Scum that attacks a child deserves no mercy." He said simply as he pocketed one of his kunais that he used to stab the Chunin and twirled the kunai in his right hand. Then three more men came into the clearing, one of them was a dark skin man, he wore a bandana that covered his hair, an eye patch over his left eye, in his left hand was some sort of crossbow like weapon, he wore chest armor that had several canisters attacked to it underneath was a light blue bodysuit, the second man was pretty much huge, as huge as an Akimichi if not larger as he wore a dark red sleeveless t-shirt that show off his large arm muscles that carried a large contraption that had a large rotating canister, black pants and red fingerless gloves. The last man had neat black hair, a pair of black glasses, a white doctor coat, a light grey shirt, light brown trouser and a saw like blade in his left gloved hand.
"Kill'em all lads!" Said the dark skin one as he shot something out some sort of miniature canister from his crossbow-like gun that exploded nearby one of the Chunin's as it made contact with the ground killing said Chunin.
"Heavy will kill you with pain without end for hurting little child." Said the larger man as his weapon's barrel and canister started to spin before what appeared to be a thousand slightly bigger than normal kunai's shot out from the hole of the barrel, the kunai's struck the reaming Chunins as their bodies were soon turned into a large pin cushion as they fell backwards dead.
"Protek ze boy, I viel heal him." Said the spectacle man as he ran up to Naruto, he pulled out the knives out from his arms and legs, his sheeted his saw like blade and his hands started to glow with green chakra healing the wounds.
"Dammit," cursed one of the two remaining Jonin, "We need to retreat and head back to the village!" he yelled to his comrade, he waited for a replied but didn't get any, he turned towards his comrade only to see that the other Jonin had died, as two arrows had pinned him against a tree, one of the arrows was in between his eyes while the second one struck where his heart should be. A man dressed in a dark forest green shirt with a black open vest over it, dark brown pants, a brown cowboy hat and an oval shield on his back, he also wore a cowboy hat and in his arms was a bow and arrow.
"To hell with this!" He cried out as he turned to leave only that he bumped into someone who caused him to fall on his butt, he looked up and lost all color in his face, why? Because of the second armored figure that stood in front of him however unlike the first this one had a more feminine looked but that's not why the Jonin was scared, no he was scared at the overall design of the armor made the wear look like a demon and the demonic mask the figure wore help as well. Then suddenly red chains appeared out from the figures back and wrapped around the Jonin and lifted him of the ground.
"So you like hurting children?" the figure asked, it was now safe to say that the figure was female though her voice was slightly muffle.
Naruto for his part was just shocked and confused at the same time, these people just appeared out of nowhere and saved his life, sure a few times it has happen before but this was completely unexpected, he was already tired and losing conscious quickly, he felt his body being lifted by the spectacle man with his remaining strength he said one word. "W-why?" then he slipped into blissless unconsciousness as he closed his eyes not even waiting for an answer.
-Unknown location- sixteen hours later
'Ugh? Wha?' Naruto slowly regained his conscious, 'What happen to me?' he thought to himself as he gripped his head and shook it.
"Kit! You're awake, thank Kami." Kurama sigh in relief. Naruto noticed that he was in his mindscape, as he turned to see Kurama sitting in beside him. When Naruto learn that he could change his mindscape, he decided to change it into a large forest like plain with a few mountains and a large lake, which Kurama thanked him for as he got some form of freedom.
"Kurama? What happen?" Naruto ask, trying to remember what exactly happen to him as everything seemed to be hazy.
"Naruto…do you remember anything that happen to you?" Kurama asked, slightly concern. Naruto shook his head.
"Everything is all blurry but I think I do." He answers unsurely himself.
'Hmm, this could be a problem.' "Kit, what do you remember?"
"Let me think for a moment," Naruto closed his eyes and had his arms crossed over his chest and was in a thinking posture "I remember that today is my birthday, I was on my way to meet with Hiruzen-sama," he slowly open his eye and smiled sadly at the mention of the third Hokage, though his mask showed that he cared for the elderly leader like a grandfather but he never fully trusted him to go that far, it was nothing more than an act but then again he did read that jinchuriki usually have some form of relationship with their respective Kage's so he thought that Hiruzen probably only acted nicely towards him was to keep him loyal to the village, "That right, I was ambush by those Chunin's and Jonin's, they beat me, pin me down with those hunting knives" his face grew a grim look "They were about to use Katon: Fireball no jutsu." Then his eye grew wider as flashes of eight different people entered his mind "Then those people came and saved then after that…nothing."
'Well a least remembers most of it.' "Kit, after you passed out, several ANBU's lead by Inu arrived and started fighting that group" Kurama saw the slight disgusted look that Naruto flashed before going back to his neutral expression, he knew that Naruto dislike Inu because the Anbu would 'accidentally' let a few mobs beat on him whenever he was supposed to be 'looking out' for him. "Yeah, at first they were in a lock stale-mate of attack and retaliation but soon more Anbu came and one of them, the one that wore the Tiger mask I believe, uses something that I thought was long gone."
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "What? A lost bloodline?" to which Kurama nodded.
"Yes, one that I've not seen since the final battle between Madara Uchiha and Hirashima Senju, the first Hokage," Kurama turned his head towards a nearby tree, Naruto turn towards the tree as well, then Naruto's eye grew wide in realization.
"You don't mean-"
"Yes, the Mokuten, the Senju clan bloodline."
"But that's impossible, the only alive known Senju is Tsunade and even she doesn't have that bloodline!" Naruto exclaimed.
"And the kicker is that his techniques don't appear to be natural." Naruto raise his left eye brow at this, "What I mean is the tree's he used looked man made like they were cut and ready to be used for construction unlike Hirashima's who's tree's looked more natural, so I guess he was using an artificial bloodline of the first Hokage. Anyway the situation looked like it was in the Anbu's favor when out of nowhere one by one the Anbu dropped to the ground twitching uncontrollably, then another man appear, unlike the others though he rode a horse and had something standing right behind him I did really see it clearly what it was as I focused more on healing you."
"I thank you for that Kurama." Kurama nodded.
"You're welcome kit, anyway they grabbed you and left," Kurama then crossed his arms over his chest, he soon adopted a puzzled expression, "But it was how they left, that's puzzles me."
"What do you mean?"
"Kit, you know your father's sig-"
"That man is not my father." Naruto stated, his faced showed anger and disgust when the large fox mention the word. It has been establish that whenever Minato is referred as Naruto's father in anyway or form, it will anger the blonde to no end.
"Right, sorry. Anyway you know Minato Namikaze signature technique that earn him his nick named the 'Yellow Flash'." Naruto nodded.
"Yes the famed Hirashin or also known as the 'Flying Thunder God jutsu'. What about it?"
"Well there is a reason why no one can replicate it is the same reason why no one can replicate the Sharingan."
Naruto thought for a moment, if he were his idiotic mask he would need someone to spell it out for him, luckily he isn't and immediately connected the dots, and his eye grew wide at the realization. "You mean it a-"
"Bloodline, well part of the reason," Naruto rose his eyebrow, now confused by the fox's words, "You see Naruto long ago, when the Sage of the Six paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, my father walked this world, there was another great man that was a rival and dear friend to him, he was known as the Flash. The Flash could run at speed that make the Hirashin looked like a simple stroll, heck when he fought my father, their fights would always end in a tie." Naruto was shock, to hear some that moved faster than the Yondaime Hokage was just unheard, and then it struck him as odd that he has not heard or read anything about this Flash person. "Kit the reason no one knew who the Flash was is because he died before his name could even leave a mark in the world." Kurama said as he heard Naruto's thought's.
Naruto blink for a few times before he chuckle sheepishly 'Oh yeah forgot about that.' He thought.
"Yes, yes you did. The Flash had died during the battle where my father sealed the Juubi into himself before separating it into me and my siblings. As the Flash died, he asked my father to take his ability and hand it down to someone worthy to be called a speedster. A few years later, after my father spread Chakra across the land, he stumble upon a young man who was training by himself, who reminded him of Flash, father approach him and asked him why he was training. The young man said that he trained in order to protect his family as his family was poor and lived in harsh conditions, he went on as he said and I quote him 'Not only my family but I also want to protect those who can't protect themselves, I want to ensure that those that had done heinous acts be brought to justice.'. My father saw his old friend within the young man and bestowed him Flash's ability of speed, however there was just one slight problem when he was bestowed with those abilities, they weren't what they were as the influence of Chakra had altered those abilities as it made it much harder to control on where he would go and stop, so with my father's help he was able to create markers that not only give him a location on where he wanted to be but also nullify his speed which allowed him to stop. That Naruto, is how the Namikaze clan started."
"Um…Kurama, you never told my Namikaze ancestor's name." Naruto pointed out. This caused Kurama to sheepishly scratch his left cheek.
"Well…ugh…you see Naruto…I actually don't known his name besides his clan name." Naruto fell over, his left foot twitched a bit. He quickly recovered.
"You mean you don't know his name at all?!" Naruto exclaimed.
"The thing is that father never mention the names of the original Flash or your ancestor," Kurama retorted back, "Within the Namikaze clan, your ancestor and the Flash were considered SS class speedsters while your fat-I mean Minato was only a high B class speedster, when he died he was considered A class at best. Anyway with that said I think that one of your saviours is a Namikaze." Kurama's ears suddenly twitched a bit, he turned his head to the right for a few seconds before turning back to Naruto. "Looks like our time is up, kit you're going to feel like crap when you wake up."
With giving Naruto a chance to reply, a vortex appeared beneath the young blonde child and he fell in before the vortex closed itself. Kurama turned around to face two figures that came out from behind the trees nearby. He stared at them for a few seconds before he nodded and walked away.
-?-
Naruto slowly felt his mind returning to his body, he slowly open his eyes to try and see where he was but his vision was quite blurry and he could hear…mumbling? Slowly his senses return as his vision become clearer, he then noticed that he was on a bed of sorts, he slowly sat up, shaking his head a bit as he soon took notice of his surroundings, there several identical beds similar to the one he was laying on, several cabinets with what appeared to be medicine bottles, a few cabinets, a desk and a chair, a few diagrams of the human body and a single door, Naruto realized that he was in a infirmary.
"Ahh I ze zat you are awake," said a voice in a strange accent, Naruto turns towards the door to see the same spectacle man that heal him walk in with a clip board in his hands, he did noticed that the man was wearing a white doctor coat and his hands weren't covered with the red gloves from before, "You've gave uz quite a zcare ven ve brought you back." He said, his face showing relief.
"Thank you for healing me." Naruto said, though his voice showed his nervousness as he wasn't use to someone helping.
"Thank nothing of it my boy, it iz my duty az a medic zo heal anyone in need." He aid placing the clip board on the table, "Now hold ztill, I need zo do a quick check on your body." He said as he walked over to Naruto's left bedside and raised his hands in front of the blonde's chest, and then his hands are coated in green chakra, "Vel it zems zat most of your injuriez are heal both internal and external." He pulled his right hand back and held out his left towards Naruto, "Come, you vus be hungry, plus you need to build your ztrength up." As he gestured Naruto to take his hand.
Naruto for his part was unsure; he could help but be cautious around people he didn't know as many people have tried to act nicely to him only to hurt him. Even though this was one of his saviors, he couldn't help but act cautiously.
"Kit, take his hand"
'Kurma-nii, are you sure?'
"Kit, i assure you that this man is not leading you into any trap and I sense no malice or negative intention from him" 'Though I won't mention the hints of madness and insanity to you…yet.'
Trusting his big brothers word, he accepted the man hand. Soon he led Naruto out the infirmary and down a hallway until they reach a large steel and wooden door, the spectacle man reach for the door knob and twisted before pushing the door open which led them to what appeared to be a large living room that was also connected to the kitchen as one side of the room had a few cabinets, a fridge, a stove, a sink and an oven. Naruto also noticed his saviors were all present in the room, the largest one in the kitchen area while the rest were either on the sofa on sitting near the dining table.
"Hey looks who's up." Said the man that had the same hair color as him. "Kid, glad to see you alright, we almost thought you didn't make for a second."
"YOUNG MAN," yelled the man in samurai armor, "WE ARE GREATFUL THAT YOU HAVE RECOVRED FORM THE HORRIED ORDEAL!"
"Meir, use your indoor voice you imbecile." Said the masked man, "I believe introductions are in order however we will only be telling our code names for now."
"Oh I'll start first." Said the blonde man, "Call me Scout, I'm the fastest merc in the Elemental Nations."
"MY DESIGNATED CODENAME IS SOLDIER, IS THAT CLEAR MAGGOT!" the samurai yelled.
"Ei lad, the name's Demoman," said the darker skin and one-eyed man, he held up a bottle of sake "Best explosive expert around."
"Yez I am ze Mezic," the spectacle man said, "I ves the one who healed vost of your injuries."
"Good'day the names Sniper, best marksmen from the down under part of the Elemental Nations." The man
"I am Heavy Weapons Guy." The larger man said from the kitchen.
"Hey there little pal, I'm Engenier but ya can call me Engi." The last man, who was about the same height as Scout, wearing red goggles, black ninja trousers, a light brown tank top, a slightly shaved beard, bald head, a dark orange glove over his right hand introduced himself, he then pointed to the armored women beside him "This here is Pyro. Don't worry, she may look scary but she's nice."
"And last but not least, I am Spy. We are the Mercenary group known as Notorious Nine," the masked man, now known as Spy introduced "Boy could we know your name?"
"Oh, um my name is Naruto," Naruto spoke, "Naruto Uzumaki." This caused Pyro to gasp. Naruto turn towards her, he noticed that she was still wearing her armor and helmet.
"Did you saw Uzumaki?" she asked, even though her voice is muffled, the hints of shock was detected. Naruto nodded.
"Tell me, who was your mother?" she asked, this caught the others attention as they caught the hints of desperation in her voice. 'Could he be?' she thought as she continued to stare at Naruto.
"Unfortunately, she died when she was giving birth to me so I technically never meet her," this caused the armored lady to drop her shoulders and lower her head in sadness "But" this caused her to look up, "I later found out that her name was Kushina Uzumaki."
"Nii-sama!" With that, the armored lady nearly fell back in shock if not for Engineer who caught her. She lean closer to the goggled man, whispered something into his ear, which caused him to gasp, he looked at her before nodding, he then help her over towards Naruto and gestured for Naruto to come closer.
"I can't believe it," Naruto heard Pyro spoke, though it was very soft, "I searched for so long," she then proceeded to move her hands towards her helmet, a few clicks indicating a locking mechanism was undone she proceeded to take off her helmet revealing her beautiful face with her green eyes and her red hair slowly flowing halfway down her back. "My name is Hinata Uzumaki," (Raizer: I know, very convenient. Syrus: Boo. Charmy: Lame. Falco: Uncreative. Kankuro: Really? That's what you're going with. Raizer: Shut up all of you! And you *points at Kankuro* you're not supposed to be here. Kankuro: Why not? Raizer: you're with the watching group plus this is one of My Naruto AU, plus you may spoil the surprise.) "Kushina, your mother, is my older sister."
Naruto's eye grew wider in shock as did for the others; Naruto just couldn't believe it, finally finding his voice he spoke "M-my mother was you s-sister then that would make you-"
"Your aunt." She then pulled Naruto into a hug, as tears flow down her face. Naruto for the first time in his whole life finally felt something, something he only ever dreams of feeling. Love. Naruto with teary eyes of joy returned her hug with one of his own.
"Man," Scout spoke up, his eyes tearing up, "This is just beautiful."
"Da, it truly iz." Medic said as he wiped away his tears. Demoman for his part cried a bit but then was sadden at the sight.
'Maybe I should go check her up,' Demoman thought sadly, he quickly covered up his sadden mood as he was happy for his friend and teammate's own family reunion. 'Guess this be one of those wake-up calls.'
"A MAN OF WAR NEVER CRIES!" Solider cried out but the tears that poured out from his eyes were clearly contradicting him.
"Nothing more beautiful than a long lost family reunion mate." Sniper said.
"Amen to that partner," Engi said, "Amen to that."
"Da, Heavy agrees." Heavy voiced out as he walked over to the dining table, in his large hands was a tray of food, which mostly consisted of rather large sandwiches.
"Not to ruin this reunion," Spy spoke as he took out a cigarette and light it, "But I would like to ask Naruto something that has left me puzzled." Naruto and Hinata broke away from each other, Naruto turned towards Spy, who had a curious expression, well what could be seen of his face anyway, Spy took in a small breath of the cigarette and exhale the smoke from his mouth "Why were those shinobi from Konoha attacking you in the first place?" this caused Naruto to stiffen, which Hinata and Spy noticed.
"I-i-I" Naruto stuttered to get out the proper words to try and explain how he is the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi.
"Perhaps I can answer that for you," Spy cut off "When we rescued you from those shinobi, I happen to hear one of them saying 'demon brat', naturally I got a little curious and the fact a group of Anbu came to take you back double my curiosity, so I decided to do some digging." He took a puff from his smoke before continuing, "I learn that you village was attack by the Kyuubi no Kitsune on October 10 which is today, five years ago." He took another puff of smoke, Naruto grew more nervous as his secret was about to be exposed, "Konoha's Yondaime Hokage lost his life in order to kill the demon but that's not actually happen is it?"
"N-N-No." Naruto squeaked out, the others were still not sure where was Spy going with this, but it seems that Medic, Hinata and Engineer realized what he was going with.
"So, here is what I think what actually happen, The Yondaime didn't kill the demon but rather he sealed it, into a young baby that perhaps was just born on this very day and I believe," Spy on last puff of smoke before he dropped his cigarette on the floor and stepped on it, "that child is you, am I correct."
Naruto right now was scare out of his mind, not only Spy was able to figure he was the Jinchuriki of Kurama but he told in front of his newly discovered aunt and her comrades, the fear of her resenting him for holding his big brother nearly gave him a nervous breakdown and tears threaten to pour out. He was expecting Spy or the others to start attacking him but what he got was a surprise hug from Hinata.
"Oh my poor nephew," she cried, "I'm so sorry *sob* if I had known earlier I would have *sob* taken you away from that place sooner."
"Mier de," Spy said as he sigh, "What posse Minato to ruin his own son's life I don't know." Scout then jerk up from his seat on the one of the couches and pointed at Naruto.
"Wait, hold on a sec!" He yelled, "You mean that this kid is Uncle Minato's son!?"
This caught Naruto's attention as his eyes grew into saucers, "Un…cle?"
Spy groan, he then slapped Scout in the back of the head, "Imbecile, as Scout mention Minato Namikaze is Scout's uncle and my brother-in-law since I married his sister." Naruto's eye grew wider at the risk of his eyes popping out, Spy noticed and chuckle a bit. "So that makes you my nephew as well. Then I guess you get to know my real name."
"Real name?" Naruto said.
"Yes, my real name is Shinoze Todoroki Namikaze, I took up the clan name when I married my wife," he then gestured to Scout "My eldest son Kazema Namikaze."
"Hey," Scout or now Kazema said, "I guess that makes us cousin huh?"
"I guess so." Kazema grins. He then play fully patted Naruto's back.
"Great, I can't wait for Ma and all seven of my little siblings to find out."
"Well mates," Sniper said, "Since the little anckelbiter going to stay with us best we give our name then," Sniper tipped his hat and smiled at Naruto "The names Sinbad Hyuciha." (Neji and Sasuke: Hyu…ciha? Raizer: Will be explained later in the stor…wait a minute *summons a shot gun chainsaw* who told you both could be here! Neji: Shit run! *turns and sees Sasuke already running away* Sasuke: saw this a mile away! Neji: You coward! Wait for me!)
"Del, no last name since I'm an orphan from Ame, the village hidden in the rain." Engineer said.
"Heavy name is Michal Akamichi but Heavy prefer Heavy name better, it nice to meet you little cub." Heavy said.
"Lad, my name is Luang Degroot." Demoman said.
"Vel since ve are all introducing ourselves," Medic straightens his coat, "Greeting young Naruto, I am Toharu Mitarenshi."
"ATTENTION!" Soldier yelled as he stood strait, "I am Hamura Washido, Former samurai from the Iron Country. You only refer to me as Soldier or sir, is that clear maggot!?" suddenly Soldier was hit in the back of the head by a red chain. Naruto eyes were locked on to the chain as it mesmerized him for some reason, his eye followed the chain to its source which causes his eyes to grow even wider, he saw that the chain was coming out from Hinata's back.
"Soldier, don't call my nephew a maggot." Hinata said sternly (Raizer: I will refer to her either as Hinata or Pyro but when Hinata Hyuga enters the picture she will mostly be referred as Pyro. Hinata H: Y-yes t-th-that would h-help t-the readers. Raizer: Thank you Hinata-chan. Kankuro: Hey how come you aren't yelling at her!? Raizer: Because I like her more than you, Neji and Sasuke at the moment plus I asked her to.), she notices that Naruto was staring at her chains which made her giggle. Heavy decided to speak.
"Da enough talking, come we eat." Heavy gestured to the 'sandwiches' he made "Heavy made sandviches for diner."
-Konoha, Hokage tower, Hokage office-
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sandaime Hokage, 'The Professor' and God of shinobi was not in a good mood in fact he was far beyond pissed, not only he found out that Naruto was kicked out of the orphanage he was staying in, he also found out that his surrogate grandson was not only attacked by his own ninja's but was taken by an unknown group that not only killed the shinobi's that attack Naruto, which he wanted to do himself, but was able to defeat the Anbu team he sent to rescue the young blonde boy. Right now he was chewing out the Anbu he placed as the boy's guard for the day who so happens to be Inu.
"Inu," Hiruzen spoke, his voice dripping in anger and disappointment which cause said Anbu to cringe, "Take off your mask."
The silver hair defying Anbu didn't move, as if he didn't even acknowledge his leader's words. Hiruzen tighten his fist and slammed it onto his desk which cause it to crack, "THAT IS AN ORDER KAKASHI!" the old Hokage practically yelled.
"Y-yes sir." Inu or Kakashi complied as he took of his mask revealing his face that had another mask that covered most of his face and his left eye was covered.
"Now tell me Kakshi Hatake," Kakashi flinched as Hiruzen said his full name, "tell me how exactly this happen to Naruto when he was supposed to be under YOUR watch!?"
"Hokage-sama, Naruto simply just escape my watchful eye, as it has been reported that he can elude any shinobi even Anbu." Kakashi said.
"He's lying Hokage-sama." Said a voice, three shinobi shunshin into the office, the trio consisted of two males and one female, the male on the right wore the same outfit as Kakashi only difference was that he wore a Sparrow mask, a bandana that covered his hair and a katana strap to his back, the female wore the same outfit only for female Anbu, she wore a Neko mask and she had long purple hair that reached her waist, she too had a katana strapped to her back and the last member of the group wore a white coat with the hood down, a Dolphin mask and his hair was a spikey ponytail, Dolphin spoke "Hokage-sama I can assure that Anbu Inu has not been guarding young Naruto as you assigned him."
Hiruzen glared at Kakashi, who gulped in fear, "Explain Commander Dolphin." Hiruzen asked, not taking his eyes off Kakashi.
"Earlier this day, I asked Anbu Neko and second-in-command Sparrow to check up on Inu to ensure that he was fulfilling his role as Naruto's Anbu guard but they found him watching from a nearby roof top where Naruto was abducted and did absolutely nothing to stop it."
"Is this true Hatake?" Hiruzen asked, Kakashi was scared out of his mind as the Hokage gave him a 'Go ahead, lie to me. See what happens' look. "I asked a question Anbu and I expect you to answer." Kakashi continued to remain silent; Hiruzen grew more frustrated as he slammed his fist again. "ANSWER THE QUESTION HATAKE!"
"No sir!" Kakashi replied in fear, "I did not attempt to rescue the demon brat from his kidnappers." Within seconds, Hiruzen leapt over his desk and rammed his fist into Kakashi's stomach sending flying through the doors and slamming into the hallway wall.
"Tora, Taka, Baka!" Hiruzen yelled as three Anbu with a red hawk, a yellow tiger and a green grasshopper mask each shunshin in front of the Hokage.
"Hokage-same, how can we the TaToBa trio serve you my lord." The three spoke in unity.
"Take this trash to Ibiki, I want to know everything he did to Naruto Uzumaki." Hiruzen ordered, the trio saluted as Taka and Baka grabbed Kakashi's arms and Tora closed the doors before they shunshin to the Torture & Interogation department. Hiruzen sigh as he walked back to his seat, he turned his chair towards the framed picture of Minato. 'I'm sorry Minato, I failed you and Kushina.' "Anbu Dolphin, Sparrow, Neko, stay, everyone else leave us." Four Anbu's that were hiding in the office left, before Hiruzen spoke again Dolphin threw a kunai towards the bookcase, soon a body feel over with a thud with a kunai imbedded in the unknown's head. Dolphin inspected the corpse and notices the blank mask with the kanji 'Root' written on it.
"A Root Anbu sir." Dolphin said, Hiruzen groan in frustration.
"Danzo," Hiruzen growled, "I will deal with him later, seal the body." Dolphin nodded as he pulled out a empty scroll from his coat and seal the body into it. Hiruzen sigh heavily, he then activated silencing seals turn back to Minato's photo "Dolphin, Sparrow, Neko take off your mask please." The three did as they were told, Sparrow's face showed his slightly pale skin and sickly appearance, Neko's face was quite beautiful with her dark brown eyes and Dolphin's face had one noticeable feature, a large scar across his nose. "Iruka, Hayate, Yugao please tell me your honest opinion on my decisions for Naruto."
"In my most honest opinion sir," Dolphin or Iruka now, "Your decisions were by far the worst you have made." Iruka tighten his fist, "I've seen the boy get beaten day in day out and not once a shinobi ever tried to help him unless ordered too, in fact they would rather join in on the beatings, the store owners of nearly every shop in Konoha would deny him service, over price him or sell him expired items. The only shop that ever treated him like a human being is the Ichiraku Ramen owners. If you weren't the Hokage right now I would kill you myself for his suffering and take him somewhere far away from here." Iruka said with his anger clear as day.
Hiruzen turn his head towards the three Anbu, though Hayate and Yugao haven't said anything he could see the anger in their faces as well, Hiruzen knew the they had spent a lot of time with Naruto and have grown fond of him as they saw him as a little brother, in fact they each have tried to adopt Naruto but he and the Council denied them each time, another mistake on his part. "Do you two have anything to add?"
"It actually a miracle that *cough* Naruto hasn't gone insane and release *cough* the Kyuubi yet but other than *cough* that I agree with Iruka-san." Hayate said with no second thoughts.
"I as well Hokage-sama." Yugao said.
"Then I have failed the Yondaime and his wife." Hiruzen said with a heavy sigh, "I could only imagine what they would do to me." This causes the three to giggle a bit.
"Knowing Kushina-sensei, she beat you to an inch of your life, get Tsunade-san to heal then beat you again before shoving Enma up your ass." Iruka said. Another reason Iruka, Hayate and Yugao like Naruto so much is because they were Kushina's genin team and Naruto acted a lot like her so they recognized him as their sensei's son.
"I can actually imagine that," Hiruzen chuckle a bit, "I can only pray that Naruto is safe."
- Notorious Nine HQ, Common room-
Chaos, just utter chaos. Why you may ask, well it all started at diner, the 9 mercenaries and Naruto were just eating their sanviches or at least that was at first but as the 9 were half way done with their sanviches, they noticed that Naruto has already taken two more sanviches and started stuffing his mouth with them. Heavy asked Naruto why he was eating so much as he explain that his sanviches could easily feed six people, Naruto and by extension Kurama, because he could also taste anything Naruto eat to check if it was poisonous or not, explain that during his time in Konoha he never ate anything besides ramen as shopkeepers wouldn't sell him anything fresh or edible at all and all he has ever been eating is ramen. When Heavy heard Naruto's unhealthy diet due to his status, he got up his seat from the table, when asked where was he going, he answer "Heavy will get Sasha, we go handle little problem." And this brings us back to the present as the other 8 members were holding Heavy back, Hinata had to us her Chakra chains to hold back the giant brute, while Naruto continued to eat in complete bliss.
"Heavy calm down!"
"No! Heavy will hurt villagers for giving little Naruto bad food and life!"
"HEAVY YOU WILL STAND DOWN! THAT IS A DIRECT ORDER MAGGOT!"
"Lad, we all feel ya, but this ain't helping the poor lad."
"Ve all vant Konoha to pay but killing zem all izn't the vy."
"Yo Big man, you've got to calm down."
"You bloody idiot, you ain't cha? What good will this doo for the little whippersnapper."
"Stop and think about Naruto for sec partner."
"Besides, wouldn't you rather make more sanviches for him," Spy said, this caused Heavy to stop and turn his head towards Naruto, who was eating the last of the sanviches, "I'm pretty sure he would like that wouldn't you Naruto?"
"Yes!" Naruto said happily. The look on Naruto's face was more than enough to calm the large man down.
"Da, Heavy will make very special sanvich for little bear so you can be big and strong like Heavy." With that Heavy headed for the kitchen, much to everyone's relief. Spy decided now would be time to ask.
"Naruto."
"Yes uncle?"
"I want to ask you something and you must only give an honest answer." Hinata and Kazema looked at each other before turning towards Shinoze.
"Ugh dad, what cha doing?"
"You better not be thinking about something awful against my nephew."
"Only if he accepts, if not we can always send him to your mother." Shinoze turned back to Naruto, who donned a serious look, "Naruto, I would too ask you if you would to be one of us." This made everyone, even the Kurama's eye to grow so wide their eyes might just pop out.
"Spy I don't thi-" Hinata was cut off as raised his left hand, silencing her completely.
"You want me…to become a mercenary like all of you?" Naruto, registering what his Uncle is asking him. Spy nodded.
"Yes, a killer for hire, bounty hunter, bodyguard, rescuer and etc." Spy said, "However unlike other mercenaries that work for money, we have a sense of honor, moral and codes that we follow that separates us from the rest. I want to help you move up in this world, to help you develop skills to survive and to do amazing things." Spy then place his left hand on Naruto's shoulder and kneeled down with a soft smile on his face, "I know that we only just meet and it is a lot to take in but I would like to be a part of your life, my precious nephew."
"Kit, what he says is genuine," Kurama said in his mind. 'What do you think I should to Aniki?' "That is up to you, Naruto. Whatever you choose, I'll always be with you and I'll give support in any way I can."
"I-i-I," Naruto stuttered trying to find the right words, he glance past his uncle towards his aunt, then to his cousin, then to the others, he took a deep breath and calm himself, he look at his uncle in the eyes, he gave of a big grin and said.
"I would like that very much, uncle."
