My New Life in Konaha Chapter 1, a naruto fanfic

AN: so I had this idea while I was cleaning a fryer at work, I read an amazing story called a song for them which at the time I am writing this is not completed, what would I do if I was transported into the naruto world which I am a major fan of. This story will focus mostly on action adventure and humor, it will contain romance but unlike my other stories it will not be a focal point. Now on with the show.

Chapter 1 I hate Mondays

EUREKA, I finally figured out why Garfield hates Mondays. See he was just a normal lazy lasagna loving man then one Monday boom, he pissed off some all powerful interdimensional goddess and he finds himself in a cat body. I can relate man, truly, I was just walking home from work this chick just bumped into me as she was leaving Starbucks. I'll cut her slack cause the sidewalk was pretty busy, so I turn too apologise and immediately she begins screaming at me about how I ruined her new blouse.

Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut but it had been a pretty shitty day. In hindsight saying, "ya know lady this is why you don't wear a white top over black undergarments if ya wanna keep Victoria's secret on the down low," probably wasn't the greatest idea. I think she literally blew a gasket, she got red in the face and began sputtering before she gave me the most impressive death glare I've seen in quite some time.

"You cretin how dare you. You… you will suffer for this. You will pay for this embarrassment with trials and turmoil. Say your final prayer pathetic ingrate." Now at this point I was expecting a few things to happen maybe she would pull out a wand and robe and try to avadacabra me into oblivion like a lot of other harry potter fangirls have over the years, or maybe to start trying to crush my throat with the force like some Vader wannabe.

What I wasn't expecting was for a massive column of light to appear around me or for every fucking inch of my body to feel like it's on fire or to feel like I was going face first into a paper shredder. I don't think anyone could blame me for screaming out in pain but what I did next was incredibly stupid. I wasn't thinking clearly the pain was clouding my mind. So through the pain I managed to lock eyes with this bitch and give her a full force haymaker before i blacked out from the pain.

Ok I admit it I'm a moron, but come on this was ridiculous well at least the pain stopped but now my body feels weird. Opening my eyes I come face to snarling snout with big red and fuzzy. ''you've got to be fucking kidding me.' Looking around too try and see more all I can tell is I'm being carried by someone, male judging by lack of titties, and he was heading straight for the pissed off kaiju.

Inside I'm freaking out I'm not good enough to be naruto I don't have a heart of gold and a can do lovable attitude. On the outside it only comes out as the occasional gurgle or cry. The man, who I now know is Minato Namikaze the fourth hokage my new papa, gently tries to calm me down while speaking to someone else nearby. This terrified me because I understood it, it was English. "We don't have much time if I don't act the kyuubi will destroy konoha." At this point I close my eyes and try too will my time in lalaland to go the fuck away. This is just a dream it has to be.

It doesn't work I'm still here forced to watch the death of two great people to save their home and their son, some may not see it that way given the fourth sealed kurama in naruto but if he hadn't there would be no konoha, meaning naruto would have died too. It was a difficult choice but he made it, and now I'm making one similar. 'kurama' crying out in my head with my meager chakra I grab a hold of him during the sealing, I have his attention but also my parents, "kushina the kyuubi's chakra it isn't splitting. It was for a second but now the yin and yang aspects have merged again there heading for naruto." That was all I heard before an enraged roar escapes kurama and his chakra heads straights for me and once more I black out from the pain, goodbye moon.

When my eyes next open I'm in my old body, "oh thank the heavens it was a dream."

"This Is no dream boy." A deep guttural voice says from behind me. I twist around so fast that I fall back on my ass all over again, "now how did you know my name?" He all but screams before slamming bodily into the bars.

"Well it's a long story but since you and I are in this together I can tell you, though it would be easier to show you once I figure out how." come on jay think all those fan fiction stories said if you imagine hard enough it'll happen. Focusing my mind to make a wall mounted plasma screen tv to view my memories on. It worked, kinda I got my old 52 inch crtv from when I was a child. "Well you enjoy the marathon I'm gonna go check out my new home," turning the tv on it begins to play happy memories I know won't last walking away I take in the sight before me and immediately wanna hurl. Of course I would get the sewer why would I get anything nice. Fuck this I'm not standing in knee deep shit water every time I wanna talk to kurama.

Sitting down and really thinking about what I would like to see in here when I come to visit my center of peace, my happy place. Well there were some woods back home the trees seemed too reach out towards the sky in autumn the leaves became a swirling litany of red orange and browns. I hear a surprised intake of breath from behind me, opening my eyes I find out why. All around me the walls begin to crumble the water beneath me is replaced by a grassy field. With a final push the sewer fades and the trees begin to grow, farther out I see brilliant greens more vibrant than I ever saw in life, surrounding me and kurama the leaves are a mesmerising shade of scarlet. A massive tree erupts in the center of the forest growing up past the tops of the others, before a treehouse like straight outta Tarzan appears, I take it that's where I'll show up when I come in here. Turning to face kurama I see the cage gone in its place is a den with an entrance large enough for him too come and go as he pleases, looking at the tv I see it's playing memories from my years after school, many depressing memories but by that point I had already read the entire naruto manga.

"so now you know everything kurama, the few happy memories surrounded by an ocean of awful ones. I don't expect you too just straight up be my best friend but I was hoping maybe we could be partners or if nothing else you could teach me. I know a lot, more than I ever really should, but I don't know how to put that knowledge to practical effect. Plus I'm stuck in this useless infant body for awhile, what do ya say?" If I could get this too work it increases my chance of survival in this world damn near tenfold.

"only if you refer to me as kurama-sensei, now come here and sit in the lotus position." I do as he instructs only for kurama to growl, "kit I can read your thoughts I am a not a he. Now sit."

"Oh whoops guess I should have asked before assuming. Sorry kurama-sensei." I sit down before her, "now what sensei?"

"Meditate, while in here that level of meditation will allow your body to go on ''autopilot' don't worry about going too far I'll wake you before that."

"You have gotta be shitting me there actually is a timeskip no jutsu? Haha haha." I lose it at this point.

"Focus, do you want to be stuck in this sniveling useless body?" Kurama roars at me snapping me out of my joyous laughter. Getting serious I focus on my old methods of meditating, breathe in then release, I'm a stone in the center of the river let the anger flow off me, slowly I reach deep into that zenith that perfect peace. If I had been paying it any attention the tv shows how my life advanced as years go by. "Now get out of here kit, and enjoy trying how ro figure out your chakra."

Forced out of my mind I wake up in a shitty bed in a large room where other kids sleep as well, looking out the window it's still quite early in the morning. Getting up and heading somehow knowing my way around here, man if I wasn't already used to autopilot bullcrap this would be unnerving. Looking into the mirror I appear to be roughly 4 maybe 5. Well if i've got time too stand here being a dumbass i've got time too actually get myself back into shape.

Heading back into the room i woke up in, i can only assume this is an orphanage, i get dressed in the clothes that were laid out beside my bed, a simple grey t-shirt and black shorts, before heading downstairs, even though it's early several adults are already up and walking around doing their jobs. Unlike what i'd read in plenty of fanfictions they didn't seem to be disgusted by my presence they just carried on their way. I walk out back before i scale the tree in the back of the orphanage, i've always been able to think clearer in the trees high above the ground. All i know is this is gonna suck, and i have a lot of work cut out for me. Story of my life i guess i should probably just do what i did back then, take it a day at a time and try not to let my inner demons destroy me from the inside out.

Taking a deep breath of the freshest air i've ever experienced the few worries i had at this point begin to fade but that same deep well of pain won't fade and i know what is causing it, i'll never get too see my friends and family again. They're gone well actually it's more like i'm gone but i can't let that stop me here if i give up even though this isn't my original life it's still mine to live. That means the promises i made back then to never give up to keep living no matter how hard it gets are still valid, i can't give up too do so would break those promises and destroy the bonds i worked so hard to keep. Letting my mind wander i begin to hum to myself before the words to a song that i had more or less become obsessed with back in my first life flow through me and out into the air.

I'm holding back right now, 'Cause I'm numb to what's around, I miss the life I used to have with you right here, Now everything has turned to grey, And I'm blacking out the shades for now

Let me be sad, Even for a little while, Just a chance to catch my breath, Let me be sad, Even for a little while, 'Cause it's all that I have left, When all I see are the memories, I don't want to lose a thing

Let me be sad, let me be sad

Can you see it in my eyes I've been distant?, 'Cause I can't tell if it's the end or the beginning, I know I haven't been myself, I'll admit it, And I put up walls, so if I burned any bridges just know, I'm doing everything i can to try and fix it, But knowing me I'll probably miss it, These voices get so vicious, Feels like I'm rippin' stitches, I wish some days I could go back, Before life changed, it was so fast, That time is gone and I know that

So please

Let me be sad, let me be sad

I'm doing everything i can to try and fix it, But knowing me I'll probably miss it, These voices get so vicious, Feels like I'm rippin' stitches, I wish some days I could go back, Before life changed, it was so fast, That time is gone and I know that, All that we have is a moment

So please

Let me be sad, let me be sad

I'm holding back right now

(Let me be sad)

'Cause I'm numb to what's around

I miss the life I used to have with you right here

Now everything has turned to grey

And I'm blacking out the shades for now

(let me be sad by i prevail)

As i finish my song i begin to hear the sniffling sound of someone trying not to cry, looking down from the branch i was lounging in i see one of the caretakers, a quick search and i know her name is Kara thanks to the autopilot memories. "Oh sorry Kara was i bothering you i'll stop."

"Naruto where did you learn to sing like that? It was beautiful." she says as she wipes the few tears from her eyes, before walking over to the tree i'm sitting in, "i came to get you breakfast is ready. Why have i never heard you sing before?"

I hop of my branch and land in front of her, "Well i don't really sing in front of people i didn't think it was all that special, did you really like it?" i can't help but ask as we walk back inside the building to go and eat, i've always loved too sing for as long as i can remember some pieces were more difficult for me too learn than others but in the end my voice hadn't been my only instrument, i also played piano, cello, and the bass guitar. I would love to be able to continue to sing and play songs if i can get it settled in quickly as 'naruto behavior' then maybe i could, it had been one of my coping mechanisms.

"Of course i liked it Naruto, why would i lie to you?" she asks as she leads me into the dining hall, and she wouldn't from my autopilot memories Kara never lied…. To anyone, probably some kind of personal hate of liers, i can relate to that at least. I grin up at her before running off too get some grub the only thing that could and still can get me to act like an excitable kid, FOOD. And so began my new life, a bit more hectic, a bit darker, but i'll pull through i always do because i promised to never give up and like the Naruto i grew up reading about i never break my promises.

AN: So there you all have it a chapter in the random ass idea that popped into my head, no worries just cause i'm writing this doesn't mean i'm abandoning my other stories. My roommate just got a laptop and is allowing me to use it for writing and since we work opposite shifts and have different sleep schedules we never really conflict over who gets to use it and we probably never will because i'll be getting a desktop here in a couple months. So if you like it and wanna talk review, if you hate it and wanna tell my how garbage my writing is or compare my work too a stinking pile of refuse, go ahead and review. Catch y'all in the next chapter peace out.
