Hi, this is I am Shinobi or Shinobi for short. This is my first Fanfic that I put on here... it's pretty old... and my old account was deleted so I couldn't put it on... it made me sad... and then I had internet troubles so I couldn't put it on... anyways... time for some warnings:
MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH! I'm sorry, but I had to... it was the only way to make this work. I didn't want to... but I had to.
OC's will be present. But they will not be Mary sues. Or guy versions of Mary sues.
They will not be involved in any romantic relationship with any Naruto character.
Um... ... many thanks to these people : Chatton-Marie, Bloodykitsune6, BAE12, Culex Xeluc, Druesilla, Tainted Justice X, InuAcosta, Fireydemon, Valkiria2, and Algta (yes you ... don't know why...) these are my friends from a Naruto Role play on Gaia online! I love you all! We shall hopefully talk on the weekends since school is starting soon...
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, end of story. I do own my oc's .
Prolouge
Some people say that everything that happens is fate. Everything is to happen for a reason. So why does it hurt so bad when fate rears its ugly head? Sometimes, people can't help but think that maybe, fate was wrong...
If you had looked upon the battle field, you wouldn't have known. No one would have. I guess that is the irony of it all. It was on that battle field that everything spun out of control. The Sound had attaked Konoha and the Hokage had the best people out fighting, including the gennin teams from the chunnin exam. Everything was going great, the Sound was losing and they were with drawing their forces. However, no one knew what the real objective was of the attack until it was too late.
"HOKAGE-SAMA!" The chesty woman ran to the site of the scream and found her pupil, Haruno Sakura, kneeling over a dead body. "HELP HIM!" Tsunade kneeled beside the body and checked for a pulse. There was none. Hands trembling, the woman shook her head and stood up.
"I want all the remaining sound dead, is that understood," she belowed out to everyone.
"Hai!"
"Tsunade-san, is he...?"
"Yes, Sakura, he is." Looking down, Tsunade shook her head and removed a necklace from the body's neck. The body... of Uzumaki Naruto.
Fate is something that controls everyone and everything. People say that everything happens for a reason. So why did it have to take Uzumaki Naruto...
Chapter one
Painful Hearts
Nearly everyone in Konoha came to his funeral. Some out of respect, others to make sure that he was really dead. They were dressed in the typical all black attire that one would wear when attending someones funeral. Some were crying, others rejoicing. For isn't that the way is was supposed to be...
Haruno Sakura was one of the ones crying, her tears streaming down her face like two angry rivers. "Why did they have to take him?" She asked to no one in particular. "He never even got to fulfill his dream of being hokage..." As she continued to cry, rain fell, for the heavens it seems were crying as well.
"Fate is cruel, Sakura," a voice said from behind her. Sakura looked back and saw Tsunade.
"Yes... it is..." Sakura covered her mouth, unable to say anymore. Tsunade closed her eyes as tears came down.
"We shall miss him greatly..." the woman said. "He was someone who could have been the best." Thunder crashed in the distance and the wind blew harder. Most people left the funeral at that point. Hatake Kakashi was one of those that stayed.
"It seems I have failed not one, but two of my students..." he said to Jiraiya who was looking solemn.
"There was nothing any of us could have done..." the sannin shook his head. "Orochimaru had this planned out perfectly... no one would have guessed that he would go after Naruto."
"We should have been ready for anything," Kakashi bit his lip and shook his head. "We should have protected him..."
"But we didn't," Tsunade said as she walked over to them with Sakura. "They're is nothing we can do for him now."
Jiraiya looked at the woman, "true... but what will become of team 7? Will you replace Naruto like you did Sasuke?"
Tsunade stayed silent for a moment before answering, "I will have to, you know that."
"When will you do that..." Sakura asked.
"As soon as I can," Tsunade closed her eyes. "We have to be ready for the next time Orochimaru attacks."
Kakashi nodded, "Hokage-sama, did you notice that Sasuke was not part of the attack?"
"Yes, I had noticed that..."
"Then I was not the only one..." the jounin said as he started to walk away. "I will take my leave."
Sakura left as well, still unable to process that she was getting a new team mate so soon.
"So, you already have someone planed, huh," Jiraiya said once Sakura was out of sight.
"Yes... I just don't know if I want him on there..."
"I trust your judgement, Tsunade," he held his hand palm up to show the swirl on it. "As I always have."
"I know... I just hope I am doing the right thing..."
"We shall soon see," the man said as he walked away. "I must leave as well..."
"Alright," the woman said as she took one last look at the picture of Naruto and left as well.
The wind blew hard and the picture of Narutro fell over, being caught by a young man. "You shall be missed..." he said as he put it back and left.
Tsunade paced her office, her thoughts jumbled. "Should he be allowed on the team?" She shook her head, "I already made up my mind, yet I am still hesitant..."
"Hokage-sama..."
Tsunade looked up and saw an anbu waiting for her. "Come in."
"I found the person whom you requisted..." he said as he pointed behind him at a young man.
"Thank you," she said as she gestured for the anbu to leave. The anbu left and the young man stepped into her office and closed the door. "I'm glad that you could come."
"What is it that you need me to do," he said, voice low.
"I found you a team to be on," Tsunade handed him a file. "Team seven." The young man took the file and looked through it.
"It seems that this is the famous team seven that had Uchiha Sasuke and the late Uzumaki Naruto." He concluded after looking at it. "How may I be of service?"
"I need you to be Uzumaki Naruto's replacement."
The young man looked at the woman, his dark purple eyes gazing into her own. "This is not what I expected."
"I know," she went to her desk and sat down. "But you are what we need right now."
"Understood, when do I meet my team mates?"
"Sai is out on a mission right now, so you will meet him later on. You will meet Sakura tommorow." Tsunade closed her eyes and let out a sigh.
"Alright," the young man stood. "If that is all, I shall take my leave."
"Go ahead," Tsunade gestured with her hand. "And tell those who are outside to leave and stop eaves dropping."
The shinob's outside her office ran off quickly, not wanting the Hokage to find out who they were.
"Will do, Hokage-sama," he said as stepped out side and left.
Tsunade rubbed her temples and looked outside. "This is for the best... even if it will hurt some people in the end."
The young man stood on a bridge and looked over the water, "so it has begun... I wonder what will happen..." He smiled and walked off, the wind blowing around him...
Um... that was it... I hope you liked it. Feed back is nice...
