Chapter 1

It was raining. It was raining so hard you could barely see. The rain felt cold and hard on Naruto's skin as he ran through the thick forests around Konoha. Trying to get away from the mob whose hearts were the same as the rain. Their weapons drawn and their eyes full of rage they chased after the boy. He didn't know why whenever he walks through town everyone would glare at him, hate him, hurt him even though he didn't know them. And now, on his 10th birthday their hate had reached a boil. They had beaten' him before but Naruto feared if they caught him this time, they WOULD kill him. As they chased him through the forest he had to dodge bottles and civilian ninja tools (dulled so no one would hurt someone too badly). After it seemed as though he had lost his pursuers, Naruto started looking for shelter that he could hide in for the rest of the night. All around him there was nothing but trees and a single solitary cave. Seeing that he had nowhere else to go, Naruto headed for the cave. The inside was almost as dreary as the outside, but it was dry so he wasn't complaining. As he went deeper into the cave, Naruto found something unusual. It was a shrine with the crest of a family that Naruto didn't recognise. The crest was a simple four sided diamond that had a circle in it and in the circle was a fist with energy waving off of it. Naruto could feel the mass amounts of chakra in this place. The shrine itself looked no bigger than him. On it was a large scroll with ornate drawings and the same symbol as the shrine.

'Whoever made this must really like this symbol.' Naruto thought as he opened the scroll.

Inside the scroll was a lot of blank spaces and at the top was an inscription that read "機械的なもの" (mechanical ones) with a symbol that looked like two hands holding a red ball with undefined fingers. Naruto had seen a scroll like this in the hokage's office several times and recognised it as a summoning scroll.

"I think he's in here." Naruto heard a voice from the entrance to the cave.

Thinking quickly (or not at all) Naruto bit his finger and signed his name on the scroll and tried to remember the hand signs for the summoning jutsu.

'What was it, uh, boar dog bird monkey tigger? No that's not it.' Naruto kept trying to remember as he heard the mob getting closer.

"Hey, I see him!" said the head of the mob as they closed in.

'Oh yeah, it was boar, dog, bird, monkey, ram!' Naruto thought as he went through the handsigns and slammed his palm on the ground, pulling on his chakra to try and perform the jutsu.

"Summoning jutsu!" Naruto shouted as a plume of smoke erupted around him.

When the smoke cleared, in front of him was something Naruto had never seen before. It was a beautiful woman with skin as gray as the rainclouds outside and armor as black as the darkest shadow. Her eyes burned like hot coals and her hair curled up as it went backwards. Two blades were coming out of her elbows.

"Ah, it feels so good to be free of that prison. Please tell me, who is my savior?" said the women almost sarcastically, her voice cold yet smooth.

"I did" said Naruto in awe of what he had done.

"You, kid?" she said as she turned to face Naruto "I guess stranger things have happened".

"What are you waiting for, let's get 'um." said one man in the crowd.

The entire crowd charged the two with the full intention of killing the demon brat and whatever evil creature he had summoned. The strange metal creature however had different ideas. As the mob approached, the creature summoned a blade and made it float in mid-air. She then made lots of images of it (but the mob didn't need to know the last part). To say this deterred the mob would be an understatement. They were frozen in their tracks. As the knives moved closer the mob was terrified by this strange creature's powers and fled.

"That was SO cool, I've never heard of a summon that could do that." said Naruto, still in awe of what had just transpired.

"Thanks kid, I take it you like my shadow sword. The name's Black Beauty. Now tell me, what's a kid like you doing to get attacked like that?" asked Black Beauty as she dissipated her blades, still trying to comprehend what this little kid had just said about her being a summon.

"I don't know." Naruto said a little sad "Everyone in the village hates me except for old man Hokage and the old man who runs Ichiraku's Ramen." his face lit up a little when he said the last part.

"Okay kid, and just what is your name." said Black Beauty.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm gonna' be the 5th Hokage, believe it." he said smiling. Black Beauty looked annoyed at naruto then she smiled a confident smile.

"Big claims coming from such a little man. Okay Naruto, what exactly do you need to do to be a Hokage?" Black Beauty asked.

"You need to be a really powerful ninja, and to do that you need to train really hard and have lots of chakra and pass through the academy." Naruto said. Black Beauty looked confused for a second but then her smile returned

"How about this kid, come back here in a week. A friend and I can train you, so long as you don't tell anyone." Black Beauty said.

"Really, you mean it?" said Naruto. Black Beauty nodded and naruto agreed. After that Naruto unsummoned Black Beauty, took the scroll, and went home quietly so the mob wouldn't find him. When he got home Naruto hid the scroll so no one could find it.

-The Prison-

Black Beauty reappeared where she was when she had left. She was thinking about her associate and was disgusted at the thought of having to ask "him" for help training this Naruto kid.

"Where have you been?" said a green warrior "We've been looking everywhere for you!"

"I missed you too Scar." Black Beauty said sarcastically "Listen, I may have found a way to get us out of here".

"Oh really, and what's that?" said Scar, obviously not buying a word of it.

"I'll explain later at the meeting." Black Beauty smiled as she walked away. She always loved teasing him.
