Chapter 1- Freedom
Deep down under the village of Konohagakure, in the Anbu level 5 jail was only one cell. The demon child of Konohagakure is it's cell. For twelve years the demon child lived there. He was never meant to be there but the council decided to lock him up for twelve years.
Only few people came to see him and it was often. These people had a certain relationship with the child's parents. They loved the boy but could do nothing to help him get out. These people were Jiraiya, Tsunade, The Sandaime hokage, Rin. But the person who came to see him the most was Itachi Uchiha.
Itachi Uchiha was to guard the boy at all times and grew close. Itachi still comes to see the boy even when he was branded a missing ninja. This boys name is…
"Get up." A voice ordered. There was no response from the dark cell. "I Said…" "It's okay. I'll handle this." A kind male voice stated. "Yes Lord hokage." The guard bowed. The hokage opened the door allowing light to fill the dark cell.
"It's okay, you can get up." Hiruzen reassured. One eye opened from the cell. The eye was demon red with a black slit. "Is it time to train?" A calm young voice came from the cell. "No, You are free." The hokage smiled. He red eye changed but it was to dark to see what color it was. "I'm free? But…" "It's okay. Your godparents will take care of you." Hiruzen smiled. "What about Nii-chan?" The young voice asked. "He will still watch over you." Hiruzen stated.
"It's not fair for what they did to him." The voice growled. "It's not fair what they did to you, despite your fathers wishes." Hiruzen frowned. The voice didn't answer so the hokage turned on the light.
The lights turned on to show a clean cell but there were scrolls for jutsu and seals spread around. But in the middle of the room was a young boy who looked twelve or thirteen. He had spiky blonde hair with red tips at the end. He was covered with a black cloak. His head was faced down so the old man couldn't see his face.
"Come are you ready to go?" Hiruzen grinned. "Where am I going?" The boy asked still not looking up. "I have enrolled you onto a genin team. Jiraiya and Tsunade think it is best for you to socialize with other kids." Sarutobi informed. The boy stood but still didn't show his face instead he pulled the hood over his head, the only thing you could see was his sapphire blue eyes which had black slits.
"What rank am I really JiJi?" The boy wondered with a smirk. "You are the rank of a special jonin. But to get promoted you must show the council that you are willing to participate." Hiruzen informed. "I'm no ones tool! If they think that then I rather be in this cell!" The boy growled. "It's okay. You are not seen as no ones tool." Hiruzen stated.
He waited for the boy to step out his cell but he didn't. "What's wrong?" Sarutobi asked. "I want rights." The boy stated with a fact. The Hokage raised his eye brow in curiosity. "What did you have in mind?" He asked.
"The villagers, if any of them assault me or my home, anything that's mine I have the right to kill them." The boy paused. "I grant you permission." Hiruzen allowed. "What is the curfew?" The boy wondered. "Mid-night."Hiruzen answered. "That's fine. Will I be able to train anywhere? Even the forest of death?" The boy wondered.
That request took awhile for the Sandaime to answer too. "Yes." He finally spoke. The boy sighed before stepping out. "Lead the way lord hokage." The boy bowed slightly. "Of course, but here. I thought you would prefer black." The hokage smiled handing the boy a black leaf headband. The young boy took it and tied it around his neck.
"Where to?" The boy asked. "The academy. Follow me." Before the two walked out of the room the boy looked back at his cell that was his home for his whole life. "My stuff?" The boy wondered. "I will have Jiraiya and Tsunade pick them up." Hiruzen smiled. The boy nodded before continuing the walk.
In the academy was a class room of newly fresh genin of Konohagakure. Standing in front of them was their teacher Iruka umino. "Alright we will start with team 7. That will be Sakura haruno and Sasuke uchiha." Iruka informed. "WHAT? Sensei why does bill board brow get to be with Sasuke-kun?" Ino yamanaka demanded.
"Because that is what lord hokage requested. Now sit down." Iruka ordered. Ino sat down with a huff. "Sensei, isn't each team supposed to have 3 members? How come our team only has two?" Sakura haruno wondered. "You will have a third member in fact he or she is on their way. Now for the rest of the teams…" Iruka continued. After 5 minutes the door opened and the hokage walked in.
"Lord hokage." Iruka bowed as did the kids. "Hello everyone. I came here to introduce team 7's third member. You can come in now." Hiruzen smiled. Every looked at the door when a young boy with tan pants and a black cloak with a hood over his head walked in. No one could see his face. He took a seat in the back of the room next to the window.
Everyone wanted to know who he was and what he looked like. "I hope you get along with your team. I will see you and your godparents later." The hokage grinned. The boy turned his head to the hokage and grinned under his hood. "Thanks JiJi, see ya later." The boy smiled before turning back to window watching.
No one besides the hokage could tell that he smiled. That hood really covered everything. The hokage bowed slightly before leaving. "Well umm would you like to introduce your self?" Iruka asked. The boy didn't face him. "Nah. I'll do it later." He said in a causal tone like he knew everybody in the room.
"Well okay then. Anyway your jonin instructors should be here shortly. Goo luck everyone one." Iruka grinned before leaving. After 10 minutes Ino's group and Team 7 were still in the room. Shikamaru Nara was sleeping, Choji Akamichi was eating and Ino was talking to Sakura trying to figure out who the boy was.
Sasuke was…brooding, not caring who the boy was, just thinking how he didn't need a team. A minute passed and Ino's team sensei Asuma Sarutobi walked in. The boy was tired of waiting and stood up.
"What are you doing?" Sakura asked nervously not sure how he would react. "Our sensei is late and I'm bored. I'll see ya later." The boy waved. Before he jumped out the window the door opened and a sliver head of hair peeked in.
"Are you team 7?" The man asked. "Yes sir. Are you our sensei?" Sakura asked. "Yes. Lets go up to the roof top." The man pointed. The boy already left when he said he was their sensei. Sasuke nor Sakura saw him leave.
When they arrived to the roof top the boy was leaning over the rail looking over the village. "Alright everyone lets introduce ourselves. Tell me your name dislikes, likes and dream and ambition." The silver haired jonin said. "Can you go first?" Sakura asked. "Okay. My name is Kakashi hatake. My…" "Don't bother saying anything else if your not gonna tell us." The boy interrupted. Sakura and Kakashi stared at him confused.
"Okay wise guy, why don't you go first? And take of the hood." Kakashi smirked. The boy took of his hood revealing his spiky blonde hair with red tips. His sapphire blue eyes shined in the light. He also had whisker like marks on his cheeks. Sakura thought the boy was cute, not as cute has her Sasuke-kun but cute.
"My name is Naruto Namikaze…" "What?" Sasuke demanded. Naruto turned to him bored. "That's right Uchiha, I'm a Namikaze. Deal with it. Anyway…" "What the hell do you mean deal with it? Who are you to tell me an uchiha deal with it? You might be lying! The last Namikaze was the foruth hokage!" Sasuke glared.
"You interrupt me one more time and Itachi will really be the last Uchiha." Naruto glared his eyes turned red. Sasuke paled at the sight but was screaming inside and promised to kill anyone who said that name.
"For your information my father was the fourth hoakge. I am the last Namikaze and I plan to keep that way for a little bit. Now as I was saying, My name is Naruto Namikaze, I dislike the villagers and the council. I like sunlight, training, My godparents and others. My dream is to bring justice to the council and restore my clan. I have no ambition." Naruto finished his eyes back to the sky blue.
Sakura anted to know more about this boy. Where did he come from, why wasn't he at the academy, is there a reason he disliked the council that protects us?
Kakashi was still on the fact that this kid was his sensei's son. If he was his son then that meant Kushina was most likely his mother. He felt guilty that he didn't know or try to protect the boy.
"You pink hair, your next." Kakashi informed. Sakura snapped out of her little world and started to introduce herself. "My Name is Sakura haruno, I like…" she glanced to Sasuke then blushed. "I don't have time for this." Naruto stated standing up and started to walk off.
"Where are you going?" Kakashi wondered. "My new home. If she is going to only state her name and stare at the emo prick then I'm out. My time has been wasted enough. I'll see you at the training grounds." Naruto informed flipping off the rooftop.
"Sensei don't you think he's rude?" Sakura asked. "No. He spent a long time in somewhere no child should be. He's right his time has been wasted and now he wants to use it properly." Kakashi explained. "Well who is he? I never seen him before." Sakura stated.
"Well if you want to know more talk to lord hokage or his godparents. I will see you two at the training grounds tomorrow at 8. Bring what you need to kill me because you will be given a certain test. Oh and don't eat breakfast." Kakashi winked before shunshin away.
"Hey! What about me?" Sasuke demanded not being able to say his name. Sakura ignored him and ran to find the hokage to know who this boy was. Sasuke scowled before going to go train.
Naruto used the roof tops to find his new home. He couldn't wait to see his godparents who were his legal guardians now. Once he found the right street he jumped down and walked to the compound of the Namikaze. His parent's house.
Naruto knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. After about 30 seconds the door swung open to show Tsunade dripping wet from coming out the shower. "Naruto-kun! Your home!" Tsunade cheered hugging her godson. Naruto hugged her back a slight blush on his face.
"It nice to see you baa-chan. Is pervy sage here?" Naruto wondered. "Nope. That Baka went to talk to the old man. But he will be here soon. Come on in." Tsunade grinned. Naruto grinned back before walking in to his new home.
The house inside was Huge! It had a flight of stairs on both sides leading up to a balcony. On the lower level was a path to the kitchen, he decided he would find the food later. He was currently walking up the long flight of stairs. Tsunade lead him to his room. The door was orange with black flames but it was closed.
"Naruto-kun." Tsunade called. Naruto looked at her curious. "In there is all your stuff and then some." Tsunade stated. Naruto nodded opening the door and walked inside with Tsunade behind him still in her towel.
The room was like a master bedroom. The bed was king sized. At the foot was two big chests. He looked around to see another door. He opened it to see shelves against walls.
"Is this the closet?" Naruto asked. "Yup. You have your own bathroom too.' Tsunade smiled. Naruto smiled before walking out the closet. There was a large plasma Tv bolted to the wall from across his bed.
"I didn't know they selled these back then." Naruto smirked. "Oh they didn't. the pervert bought one a few days ago and installed it for you." Tsunade said. Naruto nodded. There were book shelves across the room and dressers.
"This is great. My parents did this for me?" Naruto asked. "Yeah. This is the basic design but we remodeled it. Let me change into some clothes. I'll be right back." Tsunade said walking out the room.
Naruto turned around and walked into the bathroom. The bathroom was clean and sparkly. It had a shower and a bathtub next to it. the room also had a large sink with a cabinet. He smiled walking out. His attention finally turned to the two chests. He walked to them unlatching the chest that was white with red flames.
Hiruzen was currently talking to Jiraiya about Naruto. "So what are we gonna do about the council? He's to young to take his fathers seat." Jiraiya stated. "That he is. I was thinking you could take the seat till he is of age." Hiruzen smirked. "Me?" Jiraiya asked. "Yes. Being Naruto's guardians, you are basically his parents." The old Sarutobi stated.
"Tsunade and I could never replace Minato and Kushina. We may be his godparents but we can't do that." Jiraiya stated. "I know that. Just take the seat. You two are already living in their house. Why not take the seat? Keep the council in balance." Sandaime said.
"Fine." Jiraiya grumbled. "Now what are we gonna do once he opens those chests? Are you planning on giving him the letter?" Sandaime asked. "Yes. They wanted us too when he was ready, and I think he is ready to know. He won't be able to open the second chest with out the key." Jiraiya informed.
The hokage was gonna say more when a knock came at the door. "Enter." The door opened and Sakura walked in. "I'm sorry if I'm interrupting but I wanted to ask you about Naruto." Sakura informed. Jiraiya turned to Sakura with a smirk on his face. "Are you his teammate?" Jiraiya asked. "Yes sir. Do you know him?" Sakura wondered. "Yes I do. He's my Godchild. What do you want to know about the gaki?" Jiraiya wondered.
"Well why haven't I seen him or why he hasn't been in the academy. And if he really is the son of the Yondaime. Because I heard the Yondaime didn't have a wife." Sakura asked.
"Well you must ask Naruto these questions yourself. If he's willing to tell you. But yes he is the son of the Yondaime. The Yondaime was married but never announced it because of war. His father and mother were the only thing that kept him from being executed when he was born." Jiraiya explained.
"Why would he be executed? Is that the reason he dislikes the council?" Sakura wondered. "Dislike? He hates the council. But yes. I'm going back home to see him would you like to come?" Jiraiya offered. "Yes sir." Sakura nodded. "Alright you coming old man?" Jiraiya asked. "Yes. I told him I would see him later. Do you know if Rin is coming?" The Sandaime asked.
"Yes. She got back from her mission earlier today. Lets go." Jiraiya walked out with Sakura and Hiruzen.
Naruto stared at the contents in the chest in disbelief. He picked up the orange coat with black flames dancing at the bottom. "Is this foe me?" He whispered. "Yes. Your father had that made for you. He was gonna give it when you were made a genin. I thinks there's more." Tsunade walked in fully dressed.
Naruto looked inside to see a long katana sitting at the bottom. A fox anbu mask was beside it. A black kunai holster was also inside. There were also scrolls but one scroll stood out of the rest. It was yellow and purple with a S on it.
"Baa-chan is this?" "Yes. That's the Hiraishin no jutsu scroll. Your father had 3 levels and he only had time to master the first two. He was able to do the third but he couldn't finish." Tsunade explained. Naruto picked up the scroll with extreme care like it was gonna break.
"I'm gonna learn it." Naruto stated. "What? Naruto you…" "I can and I will. If I was able to master the rasengan in a week then I will be able to master this. I will finish what my father couldn't do." Naruto declared. "Okay Naruto-kun but lets go see the rest of the house first." Tsunade smiled.
Naruto nodded putting everything back neatly and locking the chest back. To be careful he sealed it so only he could open it. He walked with Tsunade around the house. He walked down stairs to the large living room. There were couches and tables around but nothing spectacular.
He walked into the beautiful large kitchen. The tiles were marble as was the counters. There was a large oven and a microwave. The cabinets had glass windows so you could see the many dishes and china.
Next he walked down the basement which was a large weight room. He made mental note this is where he would defiantly work out. Tsunade the led him to the great big backyard. Across the yard was a training field for sparring.
"This place is great! How did mom and dad afford this?" Naruto wondered. "Well your father did lots of dangerous S-rank missions as did your mother. He was also the Hokage which paid him a lot. But most of it was because the Namikaze clan owns nearly half the village. There are many banks in the village and stores that your clan owns. So you could imagine what kind of income they were getting. With that much money they were able to pay off the mortgage." Tsunade explained.
"Wow so basically were filthy stinking rich?" Naruto smirked. "That's right." Tsunade grinned. They walked back in the living room to see Jiraiya opening the door 3 people behind him.
"What are you doing here?" Naruto wondered. "Well she came to ask you some questions naruto." Hiruzen stated. "Sorry but no. I have no interest telling my past to a fan girl of the emo prick." Naruto waved her off. "Naruto be nice! She is your teammate after all." Tsunade stated.
"Yeah so? That doesn't mean I have to build a relationship with her." Naruto smirked coldly. Sakura was qeuit the whole time. Suddenly Naruto was bonked against the head. "OW! What the hell was that for?" Naruto demanded. "Your being such a kakashi. Lighten up. She wanted know more about you so you could be friends." Rin scolded.
"Yeah well I don't need them! I don't see how friends got me out of that hell hole!" Naruto glared. Everyone got quiet, knowing he had a point. "You can stay if you want but I'm not talking. I'll be in my room." Naruto stated going up stairs.
"BAH! That baka! He's just as bad as Kakashi." Rin growled. "Why does he seem so angry? What was he talking about?" Sakura wondered. Tsunade sighed. "If he won't talk to you after I'm done I guess we could tell you. "I'll be right back." Tsunade stated going up to Naruto's room.
Sakura sat down on one of the many couches. "Does he hate me?" Sakura asked. "No, he doesn't hate you. Naruto hasn't been with any kids his own age. We are the only family he has." Jiraiya frowned.
"Well why hasn't he been around any kids? If he wasn't so angry I'm sure he could make some friends." Sakura said. "Yeah we think so too. But…" "WHY THE HELL SHOULD I? SHE OR ANYONE ELSE DOESN'T KNOWWHAT IT MEANS TO BE ALONE IN THE DARK!" Naruto yelled.
Jiraiya ran upstairs to calm Naruto down. Once he made it to the room he saw Naruto glaring at the wall with red hate filled eyes. Tsunade was standing by the door way watching him with sad eyes.
"How long?" Jiraiya wondered. "He's been talking to him since before I came up." Tsunade whispered. "You left me. You left me to those demons and did nothing to save me. Why should I listen to you?" Naruto cried. After a few moments he was quiet like he was listening.
"NO! it's your fault! It's all your fault! You took them away! It's because of you that everyone hates me! YOUR FAULT!" Naruto cried. Tsunade couldn't take it anymore she rushed at the boy and hugged him while he cried into her shirt.
"Why? Why did he have to take them away? Why can't I have my parents?" Naruto cried. "It's okay Naruto. Everything will be okay. Your free now." Tsunade whispered. "I can't be free. He stole my freedom." Naruto stated. He contiued to cry with only one thought on his mind.
'I hate you.'
