Chapter 1: A Holy Beginning
Hey guys, the idea or this story has been in my head for months. I think God is calling me to write this, so I hope you enjoy this. If you are an atheist you might not like it but I still suggest you read it. This story is about Naruto becoming powerful through God (Christian god).
I don't own Naruto if I did I would give the money I earned off it to my church.
There were sounds of crashing trees, explosions, and a deafening roar that could make even the most battle hardened ninja crap himself. The Kyuubi no Kitsune was attacking Konoha, causing chaos and destruction as it neared the village. The Yondaime Hokage and Hiruzen Sarutobi were in Konoha's hospital. They were discussing who would stop the Kyuubi when the sound of an infant crying interrupted them. The two men turned their heads and saw Kushina Uzumaki holding a baby with blonde hair in her arms.
"Minato, isn't he beautiful?" Kushina asked holding the baby out to him. The Yondaime picked up the baby and nodded "Yes he is, sadly I must make him into a living sacrifice to save the village." He said as he carried him out of the room.
"WHAT! NO, MY BABY! GIVE ME BACK MY NARUTO!" Kushina wailed, crying in disbelief that her husband would sacrifice their child. Sarutobi held down Kushina as she cried and thrashed at the hands keeping her from her child. "NO!" she sobbed and slumped into the hospital bed.
Sarutobi walked out of the room "Minato is there no other way?"
Minato shook his head "I'm afraid not, but Sarutobi as my last wish I want the villagers to treat my son like a hero." Sarutobi nodded as the Hokage jumped out of the window and of towards the fox demon.
As Minato prepared the seals for the sealing jutsu, God was talking with the angel Gabriel. "Gabriel, this child is innocent yet he will be forced to carry a great burden. I know that very few people will treat Naruto fairly, so I want you be his guardian angel." Gabriel nodded to this. "Also I will grant him my power and when he is of age I will make him my champion. Now go and watch over him, for he shall someday save the world from its self-inflicted destruction." And Gabriel left the presence of God and went down to earth.
At the Hokage tower the Sandaime Hokage was making a speech to the ninja of the leaf and civilians alike. "Citizens we are gathered here to mourn the loss of our precious Hokage, and to inaugurate me as the Hokage once more." The crowd burst into cheers but Sarutobi quickly silenced them. "I have the final wish of our late Hokage, just hours before he engaged the Kyuubi he wished that you would, as his final wish treat this young child as a hero, for he is the container of the Kyuubi no Kitsune who was sealed into him." Shouts of outrage and screams of 'Kill the Demon' were heard everywhere and many of the civilians and a few of the ninja leapt up to kill the infant. There was a flash of black and the attackers slumped to the ground and died from a quick cut to the throat.
"Whoever attacks this child or calls him a demon shall face the same fate as these fools." Sarutobi said sternly "Now return to your homes." And he walked away as he did so he told one of his Anbu to get rid of the bodies.
The aged Hokage picked up the young Jinchuuriki and took him to the orphanage "This kid will have a very difficult childhood I hope that I have made the right choice in not adopting him myself." He said with a sigh. He walked up to the manager of the orphanage when she saw the child she gasped in shock "I want you to take care of this child and make sure that no harm comes to him." The lady nodded with kind eyes but when the Hokage was out of sight she gave the child a dark look and he began to cry.
6 years later
'Why me?' was the only though running through the young boys head as he ran from his pursuers. This was a natural occurrence to the boy, but even after several years of treatment like this he could not understand what he did to deserve this. He could hear the sound of people yelling as he rounded the corner and came to a dead end. The child looked around for a way to escape but was trapped when the group of adults surrounded him. "What did I do? Why are you attacking me?"
"You know what you did demon child. Now me along with the rest of these people will finish want the Fourth started." and he lunged towards the boy with a kunai aimed for the young boys heart. As the kunai hit the boy's chest a beacon of light shot out, sending the whole crowd flying. "Why, you little brat you will pay for that," said a shinobi as he charged at the child with a sword. "DIE!"
Just a few feet before the ninja was near him time seemed to slow, and the child felt energy flow through his veins as his hands lit up with holy light. There was an explosion of light and a glowing man appeared (an angel). "You have sought to harm this child shall know this, today is the final day that God has allowed you to repent against your evil ways. You have chosen to harm an innocent child of God, who has his favour and has done nothing to harm you. For your evil you shall be sentenced to eternity in hell!" The angel lifted out his hand and the crowd disappeared leaving just the angel and the child.
"Naruto, I am Gabriel, an angel of God. You are blessed for you have shown great kindness; even to those have done much wrong to you. For this God has granted you his power. As you display your holiness and faith you will be given more power, but be wary of sin and temptation, for the devil shall try to tempt you and if you fall into temptation you will experience a great punishment that will remind you, that you must obey the Lord. Now rise and tell no one of this." And he left Naruto to his thoughts.
Naruto walked home with mixed emotions on one hand he was happy he had someone who stood up for him, but on the other he was upset that the people attacking him were dead even though he knew they were trying to kill him. As he was walking home his stomach made a loud noise, telling him to eat. Naruto headed over to Ichiraku Ramen his favourite restaurant in all of Konoha, not to mention the only restaurant that would give him service.
As he sat down he was greeted by the happy voice of one Ayame "Hello Naruto!" she said cheerfully "what would you like to eat today?" he settled on a large bowl of beef and a large bowl of miso ramen.
As she was cutting the meat, her hand slipped and Ayame cut herself with the knife. Hearing he scream of pain Naruto looked up and saw the young girl's deep cut. "Let me see" Naruto said as Ayame held her arm out to Naruto. A white light shone from Naruto's hands and the cut on Ayame's arm sealed up. Ayame's mouth was wide with shock.
"Thank you, Naruto" she said "The ramen is on the house." Naruto grinned and dug into his food. While he was eating Ayame had went into the back of the shop to talk to her father. Her father was taking inventory of their supplies. "Father, just a moment ago I cut myself deeply with a knife."
Mr. Ichiraku got up quickly as her words reached his ears "Let me see it! Are you alright?" he said worry vividly shown on his face. "Father I am alright see" she showed him were there was a light scar where Naruto had healed her "Naruto, when he saw me cut my arm he healed my arm. I'm not sure how, but there was a bright light and I felt a soothing feeling wash over me. What happened?"
The owner of the ramen stand shrugged his shoulders "I don't know, but don't mention this to anyone until we find out about it." He told his daughter sternly. She gulped and nodded and headed to the counter. Just as she got there Naruto had finished his two bowls. "Thank you Ayame" he said as he headed off running home.
As Naruto headed home he thought about the day's events, specifically about Gabriel and the light that came from his hands when he. As got to his house he noticed a large book in front of his door. It read 'Holy Bible', on it was a note saying 'Naruto, to grow in the power of God you must daily train your mind by reading from the bible' he took it into his house and plopped it on his night stand.
As Naruto was about to head out an Anbu appeared in front of him. "Naruto, the Hokage requests your presence immediately" the Anbu said before he vanished. Naruto shrugged and head to the Hokage tower.
Once he arrived at the tower Naruto asked the secretary "May I go in to see the old man?" She gave him a glare and replied "Hokage-sama doesn't have time for the likes of you brat." Naruto snorted and knocked on the door saying "Old man let me in!"
Meanwhile in the next room "Old man let me in!" a loud and oh to familiar voice rang out startling the Hokage as he read his autographed copy of Jiraiya's 'research report'. Sarutobi pressed on the intercom button and said "send him in".
"Hello Naruto! How are you today?" he asked warmly, while lighting his pipe.
"Great!" Naruto replied with a smile, but soon a frown covered his face. "Though I was attacked again, I still don't know why." He looked down at the ground.
This caused the Hokage's expression to become one of grief. "I'm terribly sorry Naruto. I wish I could do something for you."
Naruto brightened up "Don't worry; a man saved me from the villagers. But I was wondering if you could give me some ninja training."
"I'm sorry Naruto, but as Hokage I am always busy." Naruto saddened "But, I could give you a scroll that you could study." A huge smile came over Naruto's face, and his head bobbed up and down in excitement. Sarutobi handed Naruto a small scroll when the secretary said "Hokage-sama your appointment is here" over the intercom.
"Yes, send him in." He told her. A young boy with black hair walked in. "Naruto this is-" was all the Hokage could say before Naruto ran up to the other boy
"Hi my name is Naruto! What's yours? I like ramen, do u like ramen? He said all in one breathe. The brunette replied with a 'hn'. "Answer people when they talk to you teme" Naruto said as he punched the other boy in the arm. This caused the two boys to start a fight.
Sarutobi sighed before picking both boys up by the back of their shirts. "Naruto" he said looking at the blond "this is Sasuke Uchiha," looking at the boy. "He is an orphan like you, now apologize."
"Sorry" mumbled Naruto.
Sarutobi looked at Sasuke "Sorry for no answering you" Sasuke muttered.
Sarutobi gently put the boys down before turning towards Sasuke. "Sasuke, how are you doing in your new apartment?"
"Fine" he replied shortly.
"That's good" Sarutobi said. 'Maybe if these two develop a friendship they will both improve Sasuke in his attitude and Naruto in his loneliness.' Sarutobi thought to himself. "How about you two go play together in the park?" The two boys nodded and ran off. The Hokage sighed in content before pulling out his orange book and reading.
(At the playground)
At the playground Naruto was pulling Sasuke around eager to try everything, but he was so eager he didn't decide on which to go on first until Sasuke pulled Naruto to a stop by the teeter-totter. "Naruto how about we go on this" Sasuke said pointing to the teeter-totter.
"Sure!" Naruto yelled before running over to the other side. Naruto sat on the seat and stood on his toes so that Sasuke could get on easier. The two children played at the park doing various activities such as swinging, climbing the jungle gym and going down the slides until 8:00 pm.
"Let's go home" said Sasuke, and the two began to walk to Sasuke's apartment. When they arrived, Naruto said goodbye and was about to go to his own apartment when Sasuke said, "Umm, Naruto?"
"What?" Naruto said, turning around.
"Do you want to come over and train with me tomorrow?" Sasuke asked, while looking away.
"Sure, see ya tomorrow." Naruto replied as he headed to his own apartment.
(At Naruto's apartment)
Naruto opened the door and walked into his room and plopped down on to his bed. He turned on his bedside lamp and went underneath the covers. He grabbed the book the mysterious man had given him and re-read the note on it before flipping to a random page in the book. He landed on a page the book was called Deuteronomy it was chapter 31 he skimmed through the chapter until he found the verses 6, 7, and 8 which caught his eye they said: Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
After reading the verse he closed the Bible and shut off his light. He then fell asleep as a warm and strange feeling filled him.
Up in heaven God was smiling down on a young boy. He whispered to himself "Well done Naruto." Before continuing doing whatever God does with his time.
So guys what do you think is it good? Bad? Tell me. I don't care whether you like this or not, but I will probably continue it anyways. Have a good summer.
