Humble Beginning
The will of one person can turn the tides of the most impossible situations as many of us have seen so long as they are willing to try, the strength of will is truly unbelievable whether we let it be broken is up to use. One boy knows this very well, on the outside he is your everday simple six year old boy. He is standing in front of the gates of konoha as he looks at the retreating form of his mother and sister walking away from him into the forest. He didn't understand why or when it has happened but the loving mother he knew, the one that protected him had finally grown to despise him enough to leave. The woman he once called mother was no longer the woman walking away the one that would tell him stories of Uzumaki hero's. The one who used to sing to him when he was sick and held him when he was scared.
Beside that woman stood his sister tears falling from her eye.. "Mommy we can't leave brother behind why is he just standing there? back and get him. Why are we still walking? Mommy stop let go I have to get brother." Sobbed the little girl as she desperately tried to run back to her brother.
"Hitomi silence yourself he is no longer your brother." Stated the monotone voice of Kushina as she continued to walk away from the village and the one she used to call son.
As she walked away the boy remembered his hero that his mom had told him about when he was young.
His hero was the founder of the Uzumaki and known as the Heavens Frozen Blade his name was Shizu Uzumaki. On the land of Uzushiogakure there is said to be a land where an epic battle took place where the ice covers the field never melting even in the hottest of weather and in the center a man holding a broken blade in hand stands. A fierce smile on his frozen face his bones and body made of nothing but ice. His last words he himself spoke to his comrades.
"Don't let the will of others guide you find your own path forge forward remember we are who we chose to be not what destiny made us." he raised his one good hand into the sky with the blade that he had finished his opponent with cracks ran along it length and with final roar he and the blade turned to pure ice the blade soon after shattered its piece fell scattered to dust in the wind.
In remembrance of his hero the steeled himself and with one last tear falling from his eyes turned his back on the family that had now betrayed him and walked to the home he once knew. This home was no longer what he remembered pain and darkness threatening him as he walked into the house that was no longer his home. Hitomi's bright smile that always came on her face when she saw her brother came home flashed across his mind, Kushina making ramen smiling at her little boy as he came in from training outside telling him not to over do it that he was still young and had plenty of time to get strong, he could still smell the ramen as if it had been cooking on the stove only moments ago.
A frown etched onto his face as he went to his room it felt so surreal but even as he laid there he knew it was true his family was gone. They had betrayed him left him to rot in this horrible place with his burden the kyuubi marking himself as demon spawn but he knew who he was he was not a demon he was not a murderer, a monster he was Naruto Uzumaki and as he slowly drifted into the darkness of sleep he thought of only one thing that tomorrow this place would be gone and he would still be here.
Naruto awoke to first morning's light and walked into the kitchen believing he would see his family only to remember what had happened leaving a bitter taste in his mouth he grabbed an orange and peeled it before biting into it its sweet juice spilling into his mouth and outside it leaving a trail going down his whiskered face. He finished it as he walked through the house and into Kushina's room searching through her things he found what he seeked explosive notes and a large scroll ment for sealing.
He quickly unsealed all the things in there pictures and family momento's she must have forgotten Naruto mused to himself when the last thing he unsealed caught his eye it was a book titled simply Shizu Uzumaki.
In the book there was a letter.
Dearest family
KInd of funny if you're reading this i died on the battlefield i must have written this note a thousand time for a thousand different battle but i'm still alive well i guess if you're reading this the shinigami got tired of me cheating him. You must be my descendent if you are reading this that means it's up to you i leave everything to you i leave you my legacy Uzushiogakure protect it make it strong and if it should fall rebuild it and fill it with those that need a home. I have watched people be cast out into a cruel unforgiving world, remember to keep your secrets safe but allow those that truly need it to become their home. My descendent don't be weary i know a long path lies ahead of you. Your life will be full of pain and there is allready pain still fresh in your heart. You will do what i could not good luck my boy i will see you soon.
Your Gaurdian of Ice
Shizu Uzumaki
Naruto looked on in shock as the note in his hand started to grow colder with each passing second the words started to fade and pieces of the paper started to drop to the ground turning to snow before melting to nothing. Naruto astonished wondered if Shizu had known he was talking to him it was as if the note had been meant for him from his hero. In his hand remand the book written in the handwriting of the letter it was a small account of his hero's life with one or two page in the middle not filled out probably for more to be written but left blank due to his death. The page after that went into detail about the layouts of his village and last but not least seals and his own personal techniques, taijutsu, jutsu and kenjutsu style all sealed into blood seals on the last page of the book with a small note at the bottom.
Use them well and give them hell because hell has frozen over and when you read this you will have to knowledge to freeze it forever.
Naruto giggled at his hero's little joke before he sealed the book into the seal labeled important on the larger scroll he had found in his mothers room before he placed two explosive tags in his mothers room. And two in the hall outside it as he walked into Hitomi's room. Sitting on her bed was a wrapped present, Naruto had forgotten after what had happened yesterday that today was the day after their shared birthday and Hitomi had wanted to surprise naruto with his gift after dinner he walked over to the present and started to peel the wrapping paper off of it there was a small box in it that he then opened and inside the box sat a necklace with a snowflake. In the box sat a note.
Big Brother
This necklace is for you. You're always saying how much you want to be like Shizu the hero in mommys stories so i got you a necklace that would make you think of him. The lady at the store said it was made out of a really strong metal thingy i can't spell. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG BROTHER
I love you
Hitomi
A tear fell from Naruto's eyes as he put the necklace on and it glowed a light blue before going back to its regular color. Naruto took off the necklace and looked at i real quick noticing a small seal etched on the back. It was a chakra recognition seal, how had Hitomi engraved it into the necklace he was always astounded at his sister's ability with seals she was years ahead of people easily three times her age. He just shook his head and put the Necklace back on.
He looked through her room finding a few kunai and shuriken along with a wooden Katana in her closet. He quickly strapped the wooden katana to his back deciding he would need it till he could handle a real one safely. As he exited he slapped a explosive seal on the door and closed it behind him.
Walking to the study area and raiding it of any books that might be useful on the bookshelves and the money in the safe behind his father's picture. Easily enough to keep him feed clothed and sheltered for six years. He also picked out a books on survival training as well as building and carpentry as a skill or two that weren't ninja related would be nice.
After that Naruto put three explosive seals on the walls to make sure nothing was salvageable from the study.
HIs next destination being the basement there was only room off limits to him and his sister and it was the one room kushina locked. Naruto picked the lock on the door and disarm the traps that kushina had placed on the room after all he was a master at traps himself. He just didn't like to disobey the mother that used to love him so much. In the middle of the room sat a katana elegant and black blade almost shining in the dimly lit room with a hilt in navy blue. A sheath laid against the wall that Naruto picked up. He walked over to the blade and grabbed it as a flash of memory of battlefields that he had never seen and battles he had never been in flashed across his vision the blade pulsed slightly before it stopped and Naruto sheathed the beautiful blade in it. This had been a family heirloom his mother had only shown him and Hitomi once claiming that it was the blade of Shizu Uzumaki his lost blade the one that he had left at home when that battle that took his life had taken place.
This place felt wrong, like it wasn't meant to exist almost like he had been in this room for too long in darkness too long so with a sense of satisfaction he placed three explosive seals in the basement sealed the blade in the scroll and left with the large scroll on his back.
As he left his once happy home he made one hand sign and with a loud explosion the house collapse into itself smoke coming from the ruins no doubt a fire still existed inside that would take care of the rest of the house that remained.
An Anbu appeared next to Naruto looking at the source of the explosion that had taken place."The Hokage would like to speak to you Naruto." Spoke the weasel masked Anbu in a monotone voice before placing a hand on his shoulder and disappearing in a shushin.
Hiruzen Sarutobi Third Hokage of Konoha hailed as The Professor sat behind his desk waiting for five minutes on his best anbu agent Weasel to investigate the disturbance that had happened in the forest near the sector the Uzumaki household was located only to be greeted with Naruto appearing in his office with very large sealing scroll on his back and what locked like some unactivated explosive seals sticking out of his pocket.
" Lord Hokage the Uzumaki compound is no more upon my arrival the house that once was there was in ruins having collapse upon itself black smoke coming from the remain enough to assume a fire was still raging inside the ruins destroying what was left of the compound inside." Spoke Weasel kneeling before his Hokage.
Naruto looked at the Hokage or the old man as he called him as Hiruzen look down at naruto with a frown on his face."Naruto why did you blow up your home my boy i understand it is too big to be living in alone but surely you didn't need to blow up your home."Stated the aging hokage as weasel faded into the darkness disappearing completely.
"I'm sorry old man but i couldn't stay there where there were so many memories to many memories to live a happy life." Spoke Naruto in a monotone voice that Naruto's surrogate grandfather had never heard come from the normally happy go lucky boy.
"Cat step forward." Bellowed the elderly man revealing a purple haired anbu woman that came out of the shadows behind the Hokage before she kneeled before the Hokage a fist to her chest.
"Could you please escort Naruto to this address on this piece of paper" Spoke the aging Hokage as he rubbed his temple to soothe the headache he was sure that was going to come from the paper work that he had to do concerning the matter as with his free hand he handed the paper to the purple haired woman.
"Yes lord hokage." Came the melodic voice of the cat anbu.
Naruto and Cat left the office as Hiruzen sighed and covered his face with his hand he was getting too old for this, if only Kushina hadn't left maybe he could have passed the hat to her she was a capable kunoichi as strong as he was in his prime. Another reason to sigh without her the village they had lost a valuable asset not to mention the reason behind his currently vexing wondered why right after the massacre had Kushina just up and left but he supposed it couldn't be helped, besides this headache he had didn't need to get worse with him thinking deeper into it.
As Cat and Naruto walked through the village several people glared at Naruto and whispered behind his back how his mother had left and that the Hokage finally got wise and had a Anbu monitoring the young demon brat.
Naruto couldn't stop staring at Cat's unusual hair color he couldn't tell if it was dyed or if it was really purple it was a very unique.
"Uhhhmmm miss Cat is your hair really purple or is it dyed it's just it's really beautiful i was wondering if it was real or not" Spoke Naruto unsure if he had offended the cat masked anbu.
Cat blushed a little under her mask and contemplated if she should answer the young Uzumaki deciding it couldn't hurt to tell him" Yes my hair is a natural purple and thank you for the compliment young one/"
"You know i have a name right, it's Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki you better remember it because one day i'll be the strongest shinobi in the world!" Spoke the young Uzumaki.
"Very well Naruto i will remember that forgive me ." Chuckled the anbu.
Naruto pouted before asking another question" Do you have a real name or is it really Cat most anbu never speak to me and are so cold i want to know what your real name is?"
"I'm sorry Naruto but Cat is all i can be known as by you my real name can't be told to anyone as an anbu you're not allowed to tell others who you are while you wear the mask sometimes you can't even tell family that you are anbu." Spoke the purplette.
As they reached the apartment complex Cat pulled out a key and opened a small apartment before handing the key to Naruto.
"This shall be your home for however long you wish it to be the Hokage's note says it is paid for up to a year after that a monthly stipend will be issued to you to pay for the apartment it is currently stocked with fresh food and the essentials." Spoke Cat.
" I'm sorry but could i ask a favor miss Cat" Asked Naruto with a blush on his face.
"What is it Naruto?" Asked Cat with her kind voice.
" Could you teach me how to cook I don't know how to cook anything besides instant ramen and i don't want to eat ramen all the time?" Asked the blushing boy.
Cat thought about Naruto's question she supposed she didn't have much to do for the next few weeks since she was supposed to be off duty for a while. She knew she was always bored out of her mind whenever she had down time who knows maybe teaching the young Uzumaki could be fun. Cat walked into the apartment and started to take out food before motioning Naruto to come over to her as she took out some vegetables and started to cut them as the young Uzumaki watched her.
(Three weeks later)
Surprisingly Naruto and cat got along really well after Naruto had stopped asking her what her real name was she and him would sometime play this really hard game called shogi that Naruto had learned pretty quickly to Cats amazement as most six year old took a long time to learn the basics of this game and he surprised her even more when after only a few game he started to implement strategy that would catch her off guard. He still wouldn't win but cat could tell Naruto was good with making strategies on the fly he would be dangerous on the battlefield in a couple years if he could apply that type of thinking to combat situations. To be honest with herself she really enjoyed naruto's company finding him to be a funny little kid and was always talking about his day with her about his day at the academy and how in his spare time he had taken up kenjutsu like his hero. This in turn had taken the cat anbu by surprise as kenjutsu was her main field of expertise and to find out someone so young had taken up the art she was so well known for was nice.
A knock soon came from the door and as cat opened the door there stood a pale eyed little girl with a shy look stood that and with a sweet little voice stuttered out. " Is Naruto home me and him were supposed to start on our project today?" to the cat masked woman.
