Naruto Rising Sun God

Chapter 1: The Truth

"…AND NEVER COME BACK!" Yuri screamed as she tossed two boys out of the orphanage. Naruto and Shinsuke Uzumaki brushed themselves off as they got to their feet. The last few years had not been the best for these kids. For as long as they could remember they had been discriminated against. They barely got scraps to eat and the children along with the adults shunned them. They were beaten within inches of their life for years until Shinsuke had enough. He decided to fight back and that was the reason they were kicked out because the head matron of the orphanage began fearing what he would do to them now that he fought back.

As they were about to walk away an Anbu member with a weasel mask appeared before them. "Naruto-kun and ke-kun the Hokage is waiting for you." Naruto jumped up in joy after hearing this while Shinsuke just stared impassively. As much as he wanted to he just couldn't trust anyone other than his brother especially the Hokage. As they were shunshined to the Hokage's office Shinsuke began thinking of his future.

Hokage's office

The 3rd Hokage greeted Naruto as they entered his office. "Hello Naruto it's good to see you my boy." Naruto went and hugged the Hokage while Shinsuke looked on. He told them that they would be staying together in an apartment and that they wouldn't have to stay in the orphanage anymore." Shinsuke sighed and said, "So what's going to happen to that harpy of a lady that has had it out for us since day one?" The 3rd said, "I'll take care of it Shin don't worry about it. " Shinsuke shook his head in disgust and said, "Like you took care of those villagers that almost burned me alive and put Naruto in a 6 months coma. Forgive me for not having any faith in you handling anything."

Naruto tried to calm Shinsuke down but he wouldn't listen. "NO Naruto this needs to be addressed. We have been beaten and discriminated against for as long as we can remember. No one else is treated this way and this man just sits there and tells us he doesn't know why this is happening. Did you know that those bastards that burned me alive smile every time I walk around them? Whatever you did to them wasn't enough apparently." The 3rd sighed and told Itachi to take Naruto to get some ramen and Naruto became happy again. He looked at Shinsuke with concern and his brother just waved him off. "I'm good I just need to talk to Hokage-sama alone for a few minutes and ill join you shortly when weasel-san returns for me." Weasel and Naruto nodded as they left via shunshin.

After they left complete silence filled the room. The Sandaime just stared at Shinsuke and he couldn't help but see a silhouette of a man he used to call his friend in Saito Uzumaki. Saito cared more about his family and friends more than humanly possible. He would strike down anyone who would dare even look at his family the wrong way. When Uzu was getting attacked by Iwa and Kumo Saito begged for Konoha's help but he was turned down because they didn't want to be involved. After all the help that the people of Uzu had given Konoha it seemed that same courtesy was not going to be given. The battles that Sarutobi and Saito had were legendary. The day that Saito left Konoha to protect his home he just glared at the 2nd Hokage and called him a coward. Saito would go on to deal a fatal blow to the forces of Kumo and Iwa but in the end he died protecting his home which fell to the combined enemy forces. Before leaving he left scrolls for Kushina saying that if he falls then she will keep the Uzumaki clan alive. He was passing down the legacy of their clan to her.

Kushina would go on to marry the 4th Hokage and they would give birth to children who would be used to seal the Kyuubi. The yang chakra was sealed into Shinsuke while the yin chakra was sealed into Naruto. He thought that the villagers would accept these boys as their own but he was so wrong. They were instead greeted with disdain. He thought making a law of not speaking of the kyuubi would at least help but it didn't. The hatred trickled down to their children who also hated and shunned the boys. It is because of his actions that both of them were suffering and it will continue. He didn't want to tell them the truth in fear of them hating the village.

It seems he was wrong in that regard as well. While Naruto seemed to love the village and want to gain its acceptance Shinsuke was another story. Unlike Naruto he was quiet and kept to himself. The only time he would truly smile and be himself is around Naruto who he was extremely overprotective of. Shinsuke coughed and the Hokage shook his head and looked at Shinsuke. "I'm sorry I was lost in thought. Now what do you want Shinsuke?" Shin just sat down in a chair and said, "I want the truth Hokage-sama. I know that you are keeping things from us even though Naruto doesn't realize this."

"I'm sorry Shin I can't reveal that to you. Just know that the villagers will come around in due time." Shinsuke just laughed hard and the Hokage frowned. "I expected as much and I guess that settles it. I will be entering the Academy alongside my brother. I hate the thought of me killing people in the name of this village but I put the safety of my family first. SO sign me up Hokage-sama." The Hokage was shocked because Shinsuke hated the thought of being a ninja. He would argue with Naruto everyday about why being a ninja wasn't as glamourous as it was made out to be.

What most didn't know about Shinsuke was that he cherished all forms of life and the thought of taking that away scared him. Sarutobi could see the conflict within the boy every time he was attacked by the villagers alongside his brother. When he asked the Hokage to tell him the truth he was really asking for help. He didn't want this existence to continue if it would be filled with hatred. The Hokage reluctantly told him he would take care of it which sealed the deal for Shinsuke. He knew then and there that he couldn't trust the Hokage or anyone else for that matter to help him and his brother. The 3rd frowned and he hoped that someone would be the light that Shinsuke needed to survive in a world full of darkness.

With Shinsuke

Shinsuke began crying because he now had no choice but to become a ninja of this village. He was also crying because he would have to become the one thing he hated the most and that was a killer. In order to protect his brother he would need to become the very thing he hated the most. "Keep crying demon I hope you suffer forever.' Shinsuke stopped crying and he glared at the secretary. She gulped and looked away. "Mark my words woman one day each and every one of you who looks down at us and torments us will get dealt with by me personally. While my brother forgives you all I refuse to do so. Forgiveness is earned and the only thing all of you have earned is suffering."

Before things could escalate further Itachi arrived and shunshined away with Shinsuke. The secretary was frozen after being hit with the killer intent from the boy.

With Itachi and Shinsuke

Itachi and Shinsuke had arrived at the Akimichi's barbecue restaurant which was Shinsuke's favorite. "I took Naruto to the new apartment and he is currently sleeping and Inu is watching him." Shin didn't know what came over him but he hugged Itachi who was shocked. "Thank you weasel-san you seem like the only one who understands me. Everyone else just looks at me like a child but you are different. You see me and Naruto as equals and I appreciate that." Itachi smiled under his mask as he led Shinsuke to the table as they sat down. Itachi didn't know why but barbecue was Shin's favorite food. He loved eating different kinds of means and vegetables along with fried rice as well.

Naruto and Shinsuke would also argue about what food was the best. Shinsuke argued that unlike ramen the food the Akimichi's made was good for you because of the meat, vegetable and rice and Naruto wouldn't listen saying Ramen is the food of the gods which Shinsuke just sighs in defeat most times. He also loved the Akimichi's restaurant because the people here were nice and they were biased like everyone else. This place felt like home to him and he would come here often even if he didn't eat any food. The atmosphere and the music put him at peace in his darkest moments.

As they ordered their food Shinsuke looked at a man playing a violin for everyone. He loved how fluid his movements were when he began playing. Not one single motion was wasted as he played and he felt at peace. "Weasal-san can you tell me the truth?" Itachi asked what did he mean and he was given an answer. "What does it truly mean to be a shinobi.? Naruto tells me that being a shinobi is awesome but I know that it isn't as good as he says it is. I just get this feeling of dread from most shinobi when I'm around them no offense Weasal-san." Itachi was shocked at his perceptive Shinsuke was and he saw himself in the boy. He would always ask questions and use the answers to mold his resolve.

Itachi also saw that Shinsuke also loved his family more than anything as well. "The life of a shinobi is filled with many different paths and along those paths you will be required to do things you are not proud of." Shinsuke frowned as Itachi kept talking. "We are required to kill among other things in the name of the village because it is our home despite some having questionable characters."

Then Itachi slowly took off his mask and looked Shinsuke in the eyes. "Despite what you may go throw always remember who you walk that path for. It is not only for yourself but for your family as well. You may only have your brother now but in due time your family will grow and you must be ready to protect them at all costs Shin-kun." Shin smiled and he nodded. Then the food arrived and they were about to eat. "Will you help me along my path Weasal-san?" Itachi smiled and said, "Yes I will Shinsuke but first let me reintroduce myself. My name is Itachi Uchiha and from this moment forward I will be your sensei."
