Welcome to The golden phoenix, enjoy.
Some people will completely act OCC.
Declaimer: I don't own Naruto or do I... (Silvers eyes look left and right suspiciously).
I Need a Beta, P.M me if interested. I don't wan't a review, unless it's to point things out I missed.
( The following chapter has been re-uploaded to fix former mistakes.")
A kid no bigger than 4'3 sat in a chair way too big for him. He had spiky blond hair, dull blue eyes and three whisker marks, that scared his cheeks. The kid for lack of better words was a mess, his closed was torn and dirty, he looked malnourished and the blue ninja sandals he wore, where torn with holes in them. This kid was no other then Naruto Uzumaki jinchuriki of the nine tail fox.
The Sandaime looked at the child in front of him, his cold brown eyes not even bothered by the appearance of the clearly in need kid in front of him. This thing was the cause of everything, because of him he lost the most important thing to him, his wife. He hated him, this boy has cost so much pain, maybe he should have let the council kill him like they suggested all those years ago. He knew that'll be the wrong thing to do, not because of his successor foolish dream of being looked at as a hero, but because the leaf needed the power of the Nine tails.
Even though they didn't show it, they lost a lot of power when the Nine tails attack they were weak enough, that even a small nation like Amegakure could win if they attack. The Sandaime knew this, so he intentionally let information leak that they had the power of the Kyuubi in their possesion completely squashing the thought of any invading force.
"So Naruto-kun, what are you doing here?" Sarutobi asksed, he still needed to keep up the appearance that he actually liked the monstrosity in front of him. Naruto's pale blue eyes looked at the sandaime. he knew he hated him, just like everybody else. He didn't care but he needed the old man for know.
"Hokage-sama I need a new apartment, I've been kicked out of the orphanage"
Naruto voice was calm and filled with coldness, a winter chill wouldn't compare to it. The Sandaime reached into one of the many drawers in his desk pulling out a folder, he saw many different types of houses, he saw many beautiful small homes around the village.
'No, a demon doesn't deserve luxury' The sandaime kept looking till he saw a rundown apartment building in the more dangerous side of town. This part of the village was filled with people that lost their homes to the fox. They were sure to hold some resentment for the kid.
"Perfect, I found just the place little Naru-kun." Sandaime said as he took out a scroll, with a puff he passed Naruto the keys of the house and a note to the land owner to let Naruto reside there. Naruto took what was offered to him and left the Sandaime office.
Exiting the tower, Naruto headed to the place he was given. Walking he noticed that the once beautiful houses turn to run down stores and building. Naruto frowned if he remember this right, this is where the more crazy people lived. He's been here before when he was five, he was beaten to a inch of his life by some civilian that said he killed his friends and family, which confused him since he didn't recall killing anybody.
He ignored the looks he received from the people, keeping his eyes down to ignore eye contact, that would anger the people.
Arriving at the designated location, Naruto took a minute to study the building it looked completely busted. The tiles were missing, stains marked the red walls, and a weird wet smell escaped the wood. Naruto walked inside, finding a fat man wearing a white T-shirt. He walked up to the man, Naruto handed him the scroll the Sandaime gave him.
The man immediately recognized the boy his eyes turn cold and his posture became hostile. Taking the offered scroll, with a rude snatch he read the content and an evil smile graced his sick features.
"Right this way young man, my name is ginko." He lead Naruto up the stairs, leading him down a long hallway stopping at apartment 4E. "This is where you'll be staying, enjoy." With an evil smile the man left.
Naruto was getting a bad feeling about this, he went to open the door. He walked in and desperately try'd to run back out, the smell that greeted him was disgusting, but not only that; his apartment was filled with people with a variety of different weapons. The old man betrayed him were Naruto last thoughts, he was assaulted.
Inside Naruto subconscious
Where am I? He looked around and noticed he was in a sewer of sorts, that wasn't what really got him, he was feling two powerful chakras coming from different direction. They were both powerful but one felt evil and hostile, while the other felt warm and protecting. When he looked left he saw glowing red at the end of the corridor, when he looked right he saw glowing gold.
Choosing the gold path. Naruto walked towards it, when he got there a door with the kanji 'Will' on the door opened walking, Naruto walked in; what he found made him step back. He was in a white room, in front of him was a beautiful woman, she had beautiful long gold hair, perfect D-cup breast, and creamy white skin. She was surrounded by pitch black fire, no that would be a insult to the color of the flames. They were darker than anything he ever seen. The flames seemed to be around her, but not harming her, she also didn't seem to be affected by the heat.
Naruto went to speak, he was cut off.
"Tell me something young Uzumaki, what is your dream?" The sudden random question caused him to look at her strangely.
"I have no dreams, I have no goals, I got no reason to live but to suffer alone." Naruto said his tone even, with just an undertone of sadness.
The woman looked shocked by the answer, not because a kid said it but because she could tell he wasn't lying. What will cause such a precious being to lose hope?
" Come here young one." Without hesitating Naruto walked towards her and crossed the flames, never noticing the shock looked that went across her face. 'He walked though the fire'
"Your strong, let me give you a gift." With that her hands glowed white and gently touched his head. Naruto felt unimaginable pain, he felt his whole body on fire.
"What have you done to me?" Naruto hissed out.
"Simple really, I gave you some of my power, it's either a blessing or a curse; Naruto-kun if you need me just call out my name." Said the woman as she let out an angelic giggle. Naruto was slowly becoming transparent.
"Wait I never learned your name, how would I be able to find you again?" Naruto said. He was now being pushed by an unknown force. Just as he was about to disappear he heard.
"The name will only be revealed when your dreams become clear." What was that suppose to mean?
When Naruto woke up, he realized nothing changed, people were still closing up on him. Their weapons ready, when something happen. A amazing amount of power began to course through his body. A black outline traced his body, but that wasn't what stopped them his eyes where now the symbol of the Ying & Yang.
"Who's first?" Naruto noticed everybody stuck in place, from the mighty killing intent he was displacing. Seeing nobody was going to make a move, Naruto rushed in and started a very vicious slaughter.
After the brutal carnage the power left him. Naruto was now covered in blood before he passed out.
"Tsukune, That's your name." Said Naruto, as he once again appeared in front of the woman.
"So you figured it out huh? Well what do you want to know." She said. But this time, she snapped her fingers and a table with two seats appeared out of nowhere. Taking a seat she motioned for him to do the same. Doing as told, he sat.
"What are you?" Naruto asked. This was the most important question, seeing as nobody has a fire wielding woman in their head.
" Hum, what am I? Well am a woman you know we have beautiful eyes, big breast a little thing called a pus-" She was cut off as a blushing Naruto screamed.
" I KNOW THAT, you know what I mean." Laughing at the kid embarrassment.
"Okay, I'm what you people call a phoenix." Naruto raised an eyebrow. He heard of the birds that burned themself to a crisp, then rised from their ashes. He thought that was just a myth. She continued, as he saw he wasn't going to say anything.
"We lived on this land thousands of years ago. When human weren't around, we lived in peace with other clans, till our rival the dragon clan attacked and we entered a war that left me and my sister alive, only because our father sacrificed himself to save us." Naruto let her continue, even though he was thinking why did the dragon clan attack? Who was this sister? And where was she? But most importantly what happen to the dragon clan? Seeing he would learn this eventually, he didn't bother to ask.
"What was the power you gave me?" Naruto asked. He didn't just want to know what it was, he wants to know if he can use it again. She smiled expecting this question.
"That was called the phoenix flame. This is the first stage of the phoenix clan fire style, it gives the user enhance strength and better speed. But I was not aware that you where descendant of the god Fudo." She looked at him funny.
"He was the one that gave the phoenix clan the ability to be reborn in flames, the flames we now wield was only a small fragment of his fire. I know this because your eyes took on the ying & yang symbol, something only he had it's said that with those eyes he was able to set a planet on fire. which has now become known as the sun, legend has it that's where he resides surrounded by the volcanic flames waiting for the day his legacy will find him and bring the world to a end just like him."
Naruto mouth was now wide open, his mind replayed what he's been told. Him of all people was was descendant of a god, not just a god, the god of fire.
"Now it's my turn to ask a question, what is your dream?" She smiled. She saw him contemplating before a grin came to his face.
"My path is to completely eradicate the land of fire, and put it back to its former glory, when you and your clan were around. A new world where there is no hate and suffering, that's my path!"
Naruto finish his speech with unwavering confidence. Tsukune smiled at the path. "Okay, but to do that your going to need help."
Naruto looked at her before the ying & yang symbol replace his dead blue eyes. "I need to get stronger, so for know we train."
Tsukune smiled. 'He mentioned his path but not his dream.''
In another planet, fire surrounded a single person as his eyes opened showing off his ying & yang pupil.
"It's time." a booming laugh escaped the persons throat.
6 years later
Naruto was now 14, he has grown strong under Tsukune. He wasm't small anymore, now just above 5 feet a little taller then everybody in his age group, except for the Aburame named Shino.
He was on his way to the academy, he was for lack of better words the dead last, not because he was weak but because he needed to be keep a eye on someone. Naruto traveled around the world, learning from different people, he even got to visit Tsukune old home.
Lost in thought Naruto didn't realize he has already at the academy. He saw the different parents dropping off their children and scuffed before going straight in.
Naruto clothes changed over the years, he now wore black fishnet shirt, under his jet black jounin jacket, only it didn't have as much pockets as one and had orange trims going around with a picture of an orange phoenix on its back. He had tight Anbu like pants that where tucked into his black ninja sandals.
Naruto now had a tattoo that went from his elbow to his palm, nobody knows what it is or what it stands for. Naruto attitude was the biggest change, he was quiet, giving him a deadly atmosphere nobody approached him or even looked his way, they were scared of what might happen. Last time that kiba kid got to close, he was greeted with a brutal kick to the temple leaving him unconscious and humiliated in front of a group of students.
Naruto opened the door and walked up to sasuke taking a seat next to him, where he sat throughout the whole 4 years of school. They barely shared a word sinc they met the occasional glare, but that was it.
"Hey dead last, why do you insist on sitting next to the Uchiha? Are you two gay or something?"
This caused a series of laugh, Naruto only sign that he heard or even cared that he was made fun off, was a slight turn of his head before a small flare of chakra was felt and just like that the laughing stopped.
Ino and Sakura arrived, they tried to push each other out the way, they were arguing about sitting next to Sasuke & Naruto. Both finally pushed through, arriving at their desk. Sakura spoke first.
"Naruto-kun, sasuke-kun." They were the hottest boys in the academy, one being dark and myterious the other dangerous and wild.
Naruto posture relaxed signifying he let out a sigh. Looking to the right he said
"Haruno-san, what is your dream?" His voice was frigid and cold, but the question was asked like if he was really curious and really wanted to know.
Sakura was taken back by the question "I - I want to live a happy life with sasuke-kun and you." by then her eyes had hearts, and she was drooling.
"I see." Naruto said. Snapping Sakura out her stupor.
"you're not qualified to be a shinobi, and If I had a chance I'll kill you myself." Naruto said.
Sakura shoulders slumped and tears threaten to come out her eyes.
" The shinobi world is full of dangers, you can't trust nobody because the people you trust can flat out kill you, once you turn your head." Sasuke felt uncomfortable after hearing that, something in Naruto voice wasn't right, it was like he was threatening someone.
"Each and every single one of us will become a shinobi today, but not everybody will survive to be a hero like the fourth. You all have dreams to become the greatest, but none of you have a clue how your going to get there. None of you have felt pain, been stabbed, had to kill somebody. Some of you have felt the sting of losing somebody you love."
Sasuke body twitched. "Some of you already know what you want to do, and know how you can get their, but the question remains, can you reach it? If you plan to become a shinobi, Sakura you most drop those silly ideals of being something now, and become that something if you really want to become strong." Naruto said. The hidden message, don't trust nobody.
Iruka heared everything Naruto said was surprised. Naruto level of maturity was amazing. Walking into class, Iruka looked at the many faces and saw some kids were contemplating on what he said, while others looked indifferent.
Smiling Iruka gave the class a nice speech that was good, but was nothing compared to what Naruto just said. "Okay team 1 - 6 is still in circulation from last year. Team seven will be Haruno Sakura." Sakura ears perked at this. "Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke." the three looked at each other before looking back at the teacher. "Your jounin sensei will be Hatake Kakashi. Meet him on the roof". (Naruto won't play a prank so waiting just stupid.)
Arriving on the roof they saw a tall man with a mask that covered half his face, he wore the standard jounin uniform and gravity defying silver hair. Kakashi took the time to examine the trio and sum it up to. Fan girl, emo and Naruto.
"Okay lets introduce yourself name, likes dislikes dream." at the last part Naruto body stiffen that didn't go unnoticed by Kakashi.
"Why don't you go first sensei." Spoke the pink hair girl, whos eyes were still red from the crying earlier.
"Okay, I am Hatake Kakashi, I have many likes, some dislikes and my dream hehe." Finished Kakashi giggling. "Okay, you first pinky."
"My name is Haruno Sakura, I like Sakura trees, my dislikes are Ino anything not pink. And my dream is to..." Sakura stopped as she realized, she really didn't know what her dream was. "Okay emo."
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke I like my family, I dislike... my dream is more like an ambition is to kill a certain man." Naruto looked at him from the corner of his eyes, before going.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto I like Tsukune." At this the goddess inside him blushes, the others were confused.
'Who's tsukune?'
"My dislike, I have none. My goal is a new world order." At this Kakashi visibly tense ' I wonder what that means?' Putting that aside Kakashi continued.
"Meet me at training ground 7 tomorrow for your genin exam."
" I thought we were already genin." Sakura asked. Kakashi eye smiled.
"You see, I'm here to make sure that you are really ready to become part of the konoha military. It has a 66% chance of failure Ja-ne." With that Kakashi puffed away.
Naruto took a glance at his so called teammates, before jumping off the building channeling chakra to his heels to soften the fall.
"What are you doing naruto-kun." Naruto heard Tsukune through his mental link he developed with her, after being tired of being asleep to talk to her.
"The time is upon us and I have to set our plans into motion, tell me what do you know about the First hokage?" Said naruto.
Tsukune took sometime to think about this. "Absolutely nothing." She's been sealed away half her life.
Naruto was quiet as he arrived at his house; it still looked like a big pile of wood shit. Walking inside the atmosphere changed everything was nice and furnished. Over the years Naruto been steadily rebuilding the structure, the land owner from before was taken cared of. He placed a gen-just over the house for the civilian won't hear the sign's of reconstruction. Walking into a well furnished room.
The room was large, Naruto actually broke down a wall to have the amount of room he desired. The room had a western type bed, the sheets where gold and black with the same tattoo design on his arm going from top to bottom. Walking up to a hidden compartment, which had a picture of him when he was little with somebody next to him, but the face was ripped off, but the person in the picture had the same tattoo Naruto had on his arm.
Lifting up the portrait Naruto pressed his hand into the wall before pumping some of his chakra into the wall, instantly a ray of seals appeared around the room ending with a picture of a phoenix. Which appeared to be holding the bird down.
Naruto looked at the print, it was the picture of a phoenix that was banned from the once mighty phoenix clan, this creature was said to be the embodyment of evil. He caused a great deal of trouble for the clan, why does Naruto have a symbol of him? Nobody knows.
The ray's glowed dark red before releasing a sizzling sound now in the middle of the room lay'd a sword. Walking up to it, Naruto grabbed it feeling the slight burning sensation it was giving off, looking at the design Naruto's smile turned into a feral grin, as he was mesmerized by its beauty. The handle was peach black with a phoenix design cut into it. The blade itself was just a little longer than a standard katana; the color of the steel was pure gold.
"Be careful Naruto, you know what happened to the last person with this weapon." Came the concern voice of Tsukune warning him about the danger of the blade. You see that blade belonged to no other then Fudo himself. Anybody that has touched the sword before was quickly burn to death, but those who were able to wield the sword they turned evil, she should know because it happened to her brother before he was banned from the clan.
" I can feel his power. Its really over whelming but I'm not one to give into temptation." placing the blade behind his back Naruto left his home not before putting everything back to the way it was.
"So where are you going?" Tsukune was curious, Naruto can be a little un-orthodox.
"Were going to the valley of the end." Came Naruto reply.
"Why?" said tsukune.
"There's more into Hirashima and Madara fight then meets the eye." Was Naruto only reply, before jumping off. Never noticing the red eyes following him.
Valley of the end.
"So how long were you planning on follow me." Asked Naruto. He hovered over the water. The figure appeared behind him, Naruto didn't flinch at the sudden appearance of the man behind him. Turning around, Naruto examined the guy, he wore a black hamaka a katana with formal sandals. He had the same tattoo as him on his left arm.
"So you finally came huh? Grimjao." Said Naruto more to himself then anybody else. Naruto jumped in the air as a kunai flew by him, fully intending to end his life. Grimjao, not wasting anytime punched Naruto in the stomach as he appeared in front of him again. Naruto eyes widen from the unbelievable pain that course through his body. Before banishing in a puff of smoke replaced by a log. Were naruto thoughts.
Naruto was now observing the man from the top of Madara head.
'Fast possibly high jounin speed, chunin accuracy from the way he through the kunai earlier.' Thought Naruto showing his ability to think during battle. Jumping off Naruto was smiling, finally a challenge to test his strength. Whipping out some shuriken Naruto threw it.
Grimjao heard the whistling of the projectiles in the air before jumping to the left, taking out a trowing knife he hauled it at the sky bound Naruto. Naruto turn his body around for his head could be facing the water below, the kunai pass over his face cutting off a piece of his hair. Naruto watched the knife pass by before grabbing the handle of it, doing a complete three sixty and using the momentum of his fall to increase his speed, he released the knife it cut through the air at unbelievable speeds. Grimjao surprise by this act whipped out his wakazashi to block the incoming weapon, with a loud clang the knife was easily deflected by the stronger weapon.
Naruto was once again in front of his opponent crouching taking a better look at the mans weapon. Naruto noticed that the blade was surrounded by what seem to be 'wind chakra, not good.'
You see most of Naruto attack were fire based using fire against wind, wasn't really recommended. Naruto smirk. 'I see the organization still smart as ever.' Sending a wind user to fight a person that relies on fire, but they forgot one thing, my flames are way different from the other regular katon-jutsu.
He smirked as he whipped out his own blade.
"Nice blade you got, I can feel the amount of power coming out of it." Naruto looked up and saw that grimjao was looking at him with that weird smile of his.
" So you can infact talk." Said Naruto. In that whole practice round, the man did not speak, which was how its suppose to be. When shinobi fight they make small talk with a opponent to get their adrenaline pumping, usually they did this by trash talking to make the other shinobi slip up. But when to opponent are silent it shows the amount of strength they wield. For they have to think extra carefuly not knowing what is going to happen, this was strategic thinking to its fullest. Naruto seeing he wasn't going to get a reply, got ready again. Channeling his flame that formed a shroud around his blade.
"Tell me what is your dream is?"
And cut! how do like it so far. Should I continue it? Okay now you have a taste of where am heading, like I said Naruto will not become strong over night and if you wondering Naruto is now 14.
I need a name for the dou-jutsu please help and if anybody wants to beta this please P.M me. Oh I will explain his training during the 6 years later.
( ha-ha this is going to be fun, keeping all of you on your toes.)
If you guess what's the story is going to be about then, I've failed as a writer for a author should be able to let the audience know only what he allows.
This chapter is kind of small next one will be longer around 8,000 to 9,000 words (don't dream on it. I'll try). I usually update every Saturday unless things come up.
Beside that on another note naruto plan won't be officially take place till shippuden but he should leave konoha after the chunin exam or the sasuke retrieval ark.
Sakura and sasuke will not get bashed (too much he he they make it too easy).
Naruto is for you to decide if he is evil or good. Pairing undecided so for now I'll be a naruto story. I make it seem like there a lot of possibility with different girl but don't expect a harem.
We'll see you Shadow out.
About review I only want ones that will tell me what am doing wrong anything else don't bother I hate flamer's.
So tell me forum whets your favorite fanfic story? (Ray William Johnson reference sue me)
