Naruto's New Life Down a New Path
Chap.1
Just an authors note this is my very first fan-fiction. Ever. With that said I love to write and have read many fics over the past year. I am still a bit confused as to the guidelines of rating and such so I will just say that this story is not for younger readers. somewhere down the line they're most likely be a lemon and throughout the story will be many sexual references. Let me be the first to say I do not own anything relating to Naruto, characters and all. Also they're will be times when things won't match up to the story so if you're a stickler for that kind of stuff just be wary of it now. This whole thing will be a romance between U. Naruto, H. Hinata, M. Anko. I'm hesitant to develop other relations between characters since that'll be more of a hassle and as shikamaru would say, "troublesome." anyway I've rambled enough. Post Time Skip!
On The Road
Naruto could barely contain his excitement, but ever since he left for his training with his pervy teacher he undergone changes. Besides becoming taller and more built while losing much baby fat on his face he became more mature, cautious, and smart. Jiraiya caught his student deep in thought and thought to himself, " He's becoming more like you Minato... you would be so proud of him and all he's accomplished as a ninja and a person." Jiraiya inwardly sighed and continued on with his train of thought, "But these last two years have been rough. Even as a ninja whose killed and witnessed some horrid things in his life, especially as a jinchuuriki, but I'd be lying to myself and you if I thought his remaining innocence didn't die while with me. He lost his faith in people a long time ago... when I asked him when he never took the seal off and let the kyuubi run rampant he told me tha-." "Hey, pervy sage, we're almost near Konoha. Now what is that you wanted to tell me?" Naruto said snapping his sensei from his deep thinking. Jiraiya let out another sigh and inhaled slowly and deeply as if bracing for something, "Naruto I will be taking long leaves of absence from your training as I am tracking down the akatsuki…" Jiraiya took a pause to look at his student and although knew that his face wasn't sporting it he was going through a range of emotions mostly of hurt and loneliness. Continuing the elder sannin spoke, "Naruto I'm the only one who can take up the mantle of this mission with my spy network and all, you know this and furthermore Kakashi cannot train you." When the sannin finished speaking there was a momentary silence between the two as if the words were sinking in through the young blonde's skin. "… Then who will train me if you or Kakashi-sensei won't?" You forget the world we leave in Jiraiya-sensei…" The sannin immediately turned serious and perked his head up from the ground to look intensely at his young pupil, for he rarely ever was addressed with such respect from him. "I don't follow you baka." Jiraiya spoke in hopes to lighten the mood. The young student merely sighed and directed his intense gaze towards the clouds as if they held the answers as to how he would explain what he had meant to his sensei. After an elongated silence he spoke with a weary tone as if he was burdened by the world and all its troubles. "No one will take me on as a student Jiraiya-sensei… I'm hated, feared, and treated as the human incarnation of the world's problems and dread. Nobody wanted me when I was in the orphanage… nobody wanted me when I was in the academy… and nobody certainly wants me now. As long as I walk this cursed shinobi world I am forced to not only jail the kyuubi but be the scapegoat to everyone's misery." To say the sannin was shocked would be an understatement in the highest degree. His heart had taken a great blow and inside he felt like caving in. It was at these brief moments of vulnerability Naruto allowed to show just how broken he really was. It reminded the old sannin of Orochimaru after his parents died. This conversation left an uneasy silence between them as if it was almost palpable the tension could've been cut with a kunai. While still walking Naruto brought his "Mask" back up and said loudly," But don't you worry Pervy Sage! While you're gone you could come back to me sitting in the Hokage's desk! Jiraiya simply smiled and replied, "Imagine the fangirls you'll have! I could henge as you if they become too much, who knows might get some good research in while I'm at it!" while blushing and a few perverted giggles escaped him but to his surprise Naruto as well. "Naruto let's stop at this restaurant for a moment go to the restroom and change out of your training gear I'll order us some dangos." Jiraya said as he entered the building. Naruto simply nodded and walked mumbling off something about preferring ramen instead of dangos.
New Look New Life
Naruto was busy changing into his attire in the girls room because the owner had said the men's was out of order. Naruto carefully used a transparency jutsu to see if anyone was in there and much to his relief there wasn't. As he stripped from his training gear he took time to look at himself in the mirror something he often didn't do because the scars on his body only reminded him of misery and despair. Breaking free from though Naruto sighed and said, "what am I doing here? In this world… this harsh world of mine. What am I doing or will do to change it…" sighing again he continued to get dressed into his new outfit; for he tossed that hideous bright black and orange jumpsuit a while ago after being forced to kill a possessed kid. Anything bright just reminded him of the future that namless kid could've had if it wasn't for the shinobi world. He now sported a dark blue ninja mask like Kakashi-sensei and a dark blue shirt long sleeve shirt that stopped at the forearms. Overtop he wore a gray sleeveless robe like Tsunades that was about the same length and on the back had the Leaf's Insignia. He wore black ninja pants that stopped at the ankles and wraps similar to Lee's on his legs where the pants didn't cover. Along with simple black ninja sandals he also wore arm guards like Matsuri's, Gara's apprentice, on his back was a katana that had a black sheath with gold and silver intertwining and running up to the hilt. It was a gift from a feudal lord after he saved his country from a group of notorious missing nins and some corrupt officials planning a coup d'état. Later Naruto found out that is was made from chakra metal and was bestowed upon a famous samurai that was once a general to the feudal's lord late great-grandfather. Apparently he was renowned for his conviction and hailed from the land of iron. Not cutting his hair in awhile he had a haircut similar to that of the late yondaime hokage. Standing at 5'9 and well toned he looked like a near spitting imagine of a teenage Minato. Pleased with everything he returned to the restaurant to hear screaming and crashing. "YOU PERVERT! I'LL FEED YOU TO MY SNAKES!" Naruto could only sigh knowing all too well who was involved after hearing such remarks. Jogging into the scene he found a pissed purple haired kunochi in a trench coat with snakes coming out of sleeves chasing after a blushing sannin overturning tables and smashing the restaurants décor. Tiredly the young shinobi walked into the scene and in a yellow flash had pinned anko down and was using his feet to pin her hands while sitting on her chest. Obviously shocked she sputtered while trying to find the words although she didn't need to because the look in her eyes promised years of pain and probable castration. Sighing for the umpteenth time today the blonde reached over and grabbed some dangos on a stick and said, "Anko-san. Forgive my master's perverted actions as you are well aware he is notorious for them. At least look at as he found you so pretty he couldn't help himself." While giving her a trademark Kakashi eye grin. The short tempered kunochi blushed lightly to having a rather attractive shinobi sitting on her chest and legs spread giving her a straight glimpse at his crotch area only thinking about what laid behind those pants and wished for the byakugan at this very moment. All these thoughts stopped after what he told her processed and she thought, "Wait did he just call me Anko-San…? He spoke as if he knew me and the reputation of that perverted old fart. WAIT! He called him his master and he wears a leaf headband. Who is he…? Whoever he is he definitely hot and I could do oh so many things to him and with him. All the while she was licking her lips rather mischievously and had a gaze in her eyes that made the young shinobi rather uneasy. The same shinobi broke the silence and said, "Oh good. You've stopped fidgeting. That's good, your breasts were quite cushiony, but still strange for public." The blushing Anko could only look away after that comment but soon after directed her attention to the young mystery man after he said, "Here… for being good, you like dangos like how I like my ramen. And offered her the dangos. Still incapacitated she leaned up all the while never breaking her gaze with the deep pools of blues belonging to the blond masked ninja devoured all four on the stick slowly at once letting her long tongue slither down the whole stick after consuming them. After this all processed the blonde shuddered and felt a familiar tightness to his groin area which although the movement was slight to a special jounin of the leaf she immediately noticed it and again smiled mischievously until she thought abruptly, "Wait. Did he just say ramen..?! Nahh couldn't be the loudmouth, short and definitely not as attracted gaki. On top of that he managed to knock me down without me even knowing! All the while the blonde shinobi couldn't believe his eyes: Anko Mitirashi, stone-cold sadist blushing and turned on by me! He could smell the arousal off of her due to the kyuubi who had been surprisingly quite for the past week. But all thinking on both sides was stopped when the old sannin cautiously returned along with the pinned-down kunochi's wrath. The old sannin said, "Nice save Naruto, but I gotta admit. You on top of Anko Mitirashi is giving me great ideas to my novels!" while laughing he slapped Naruto's back causing him to fall forward with his face inches away from Anko's never leaving gaze and both could hear each other's labored breathing. But seconds after it hit Anko like a wrecking ball to a dam, she shouted, "NARUTO?! I SWEAR GAKI YOU HAD ME THINKING YOU WERE SOME NEW NINJA TRANSFER! DON'T GET A GIRLS HOPES UP LIKE THAT!" and shoved him off for all she was worth. But to her disappointment he landed gracefully. Although something made her stop and freeze after seeing the new look in his ocean deep eyes that were filled with complex emotions, but at its core… hurt. He said dejectedly and tiredly but rather devoid of emotion, "I'm sorry Anko-san I didn't know I was that much of a disappointment… well why am I not surprised I'm back at Konoha after all. I'll be outside Jiraiya." And left before Anko could say another word. She turned to the toad sannin who was watching him leave with a sad look upon his face she said, "THAT'S NARUTO?! What happen to him? That's not at all how I remember him!" Jiraiya turned to the purple haired jounin and said, "That's because you've never met the REAL Naruto he had lived a charade, a false personality all his life. When I first met him I was shocked even more so when we were at a bathouse together and he dropped his henge. One I never knew he had… his body was riddled with scars and all he said is that majority of them were curtseys of the village. When I heard him say majority and asked him what the others were and all he said was, "you try putting a person in my life and not attempt suicide more than once." The sannin continued after a sad sigh saying, "I was lying to myself when I thought he couldn't go through with it and that's why he's living but deep down I know the only reason is because of the kyuubis will to live and his chakra healing him…" with that he turned to the exit leaving a dumbfounded Anko and to her surprise a tear trickle down her left cheek.
That concludes chap. 1 and I know it seems gloomy but this is my take on Naruto and it won't always be this way. Please rate and review only your continue support, advice, and constructive criticism will keep this story alive. Thank you.
