Disclaimer: Naruto, Chibi Vampire, and Mi Ultimo Adios is not mine! Belated Happy Rizal Day Everyone!
I originally intended to publish this at 30 but we just had to go somewhere didn't we?
P.S. To those who doesn't know, Rizal day is the day we commemorate the life and works of our National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal or if you want, Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonzo Realonda :D
A year has passed since Naruto defeated Madara and he still can't believe it. He stood up from his worn-out bed and went to the window of his house to stare at the village that he loved so much, that he nearly lost everything, his surrogate brother and rival, his mentor and teacher, who he looked upto as an older brother, his godfather, all of his close friends, and his lover. He felt a tear drop from his whiskered face and drop to the worn-out floor. He could still remember the final battle as if it was yesterday.
Flashback
Naruto glared at the three enemies that he loathed so much with great passion. He clenched his fist as he looked at the smirking face of Kabuto, the indifferent face of the ever stoic Madara, and the masked visage of the mad Tobi.
"Finally gave up on the illusion that you could defeat us and live?" Tobi said through his mask. Naruto let out a low growl as he felt the smirking face of Tobi. He took out the special kunai that his father left him and pointed it toward Tobi. Madara raised one of his eyebrows, then chuckled amusedly. "Ara, I'll take that as a no?"
"I will never surrender the Kyuubi to you after all that you've done, you fucking bastard." Naruto growled out. "You betrayed Sasuke, you killed my cousin, my friends, my mentor, my lover, you orphaned many kids that were waiting eagerly for their parents to return, and the most despicable thing that you did yet, YOU DESECRATED THE DEAD, MAKING THEM UNABLE TO FIND PEACE ANYMORE!" He yelled out. Tobi responded with a chuckle, which after a while, tuned into a manic cackle. Naruto glared at him in despise, then smirked triumphantly, making Tobi shuffle in uneasiness. "Besides, you won't get Kyuubi anyways, He's gone, he gave his powers to me..." All three of them widened their eyes at the implications that Naruto was giving to them. "Yes, that's right." He grinned foxily as his eyes shifted into a slit and nine tails appeared from his back. "I'm the new Kyuubi."
"That... was unexpected, nevertheless we will capture you... Kyuubi." Tobi fazed out of sight then appeared behind Naruto with a kunai in hand. Naruto didn't even need to turn around as one of his tails grabbed him and threw him towards the advancing Madara. Kabuto 'hmph'ed and summoned a big snake above Naruto. Naruto just snorted in derision as he lifted the falling snake with one hand then threw it to his summoner.
Meanwhile, Madara opened his eyes revealing his Rinnegan (Samsara Eye). He raised his hand towards Naruto and said in a low voice."Shinra Tensei."
(Flashback End)
Naruto shook his head and looked at the ground sadly. The past is the past, no use dwelling in it.
After the war was over, Naruto was treated like a hero, but it only lasted for a while until everything went back to place. Though they didn't mind his status being Kyuubi, the villagers treated him indifferently after the war was over. Gaara had died, so did Temari and Kankuro, and now, a new Kazekage rose up and claimed the throne.
He was thankful that there were at least a few of his precious people. Iruka and Anko's son, Hiruko. Teuchi and Ayame were alive, and so were Tsunade and Shizune, but other than them, there were no one who he considered close who survived.
He looked at the worn down apartment that he lived on for so many years and came to one conclusion. He needed to leave, his home, his village, and ultimately his world.
He nodded in determination as he removed his headband and grabbed a piece of paper. He wrote his final goodbyes to his remaining precious people then kissed it, before he put it below his forehead protector. He went out of the window without any baggages or weapons, except for the pack of special kunai that his father left for him, he vowed to make a new life, a life for all of his friends. He would live their lives for them.
Figuring that Shizune was still asleep, he snuck inside her house and took the sleeping Hiruko in the crib. Hiruko lived in Shizune's house but it was always Naruto who took care of him, as was Anko's last request to him.
He looked at the sleeping face of his first teacher's son. It was peaceful and relaxed, making him smile. He slowly took him out of the crib and craddled him with his right hand, while getting one of his more complex seals from his pouch with his left hand. He unscrolled it and sealed Hiruko inside. Being a seal master really had its uses.
With all that done, he activated one of the seals he put outside the village and disappeared in an orange flash.
Once he got far enough from the village, he took out a piece of paper and a bit of ink, and started to scribble on it. After the war, he studied more about the time-space jutsu and finally made a breakthrough, making him one of the only people who truly knew how to manipulate time and space, with the other being the Rikudo-Sennin. Once he was satisfied with his work, he put some of his chakra into it and a tear in the fabric of the universe appeared in front of him.
Heaving a deep sigh, he looked at the rising sun with great sadness and fondness. "Farewell, my adored Land, region of the sun caressed..." He shed a tear as he stepped into the portal. Thus, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze,
"Naruto!" Shizune called out as she knocked on Naruto's door for the 11th time. "If you won't come out, I'll come in there!" A few seconds passed, but still no answer. Shizune sighed, then kicked the door down. She winced when it fell down, she stepped into his room and looked at how barren and desolate it was. "Naruto?" She walked around the room. A piece of parchment caught her eye when she got near Naruto's desk with his forehead protector. A sense of dread filled her and she immediately read it.
Dear Shizune-nee, Tsunade-baa, Ayame-nee, & Teuchi-Oji
It's been a long time since I've felt the excitement of life, the happiness that I had with my friends, the sorrows that I've overcame with them. It's been so long that it hurts everytime I remember it, so I want to feel what it felt like again, & I'm sorry if I seem selfish but I'm going to turn over a new life now, and by the time you read this, I'll be out of this house, this village, and this world. Know that I still love you guys, and I thank you for caring about me... Dattebayo!
P.S. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine! I am the strongest person in the world now!
P.S.S. I took Hiruko with me, I hope you don't mind.
Love, Naruto.
By the time Shizune finished reading the letter, she had tears in her eyes and were falling down Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto's letter. She looked at the drawn chibi Naruto in the letter. He was holding a bag turning his back from the letter and looking at the reader with a determined, but sad smile, as if saying his last goodbyes. Shizune wiped her tears and sped towards the Hokage's office, only to find Tsunade sleeping on her desk.
"Tsunade-sama!" She shouted. Tsunade bolted upright and looked left and right as if a wild dog, then turned to look at Shizune with an annoyed look, but seeing her sad look, made her soften her eyes.
"What is it?" She asked warily, feeling a sense of dread just like Shizune did earlier. Shizune didn't say a word, but instead gave her the letter of Naruto. She saw Tsunade shift her face from serious to confused to depressed. "That blonde gaki..." She murmured as she felt a tear slide down her face.
"What should we do?" Shizune asked with panic filling her voice. Tsunade just shook her head sadly and looked at Shizune solemnly.
"Nothing, we'll do nothing, he's been through so much, and the least we can do for him is let him find a new life." Tsunade said with one hopeful smile. Shizune nodded reluctantly.
Naruto appeared out of the portal into an urban village. He grinned and smelled the fresh air. It smelled of a new life, dog shit, blood.
"Blood?" Naruto questioned himself. He shook his head, he must be imagining, maybe from withdrawal of the fighting? He looked at the clean environment that surrounded him and stood with a satisfied smirk. "This would be a great place to start over!" He said to himself. He was suddenly pushed down by a huge weight. He opened his eyes to see a violet-haired girl on top of him. She opened her eyes then it widened in shock
"Ahh! I'm sorry, I should've looked where I was going!" She stood up and offered her hand to carry him up. Naruto took it and stood up.
"It's okay, just look at where you're going next time, ne?" He smiled. She smiled back and bowed then rushed. Naruto took a sniff of the air, and noticed that the scent of blood was in fact coming from the violet-haired girl. He widened his eyes and looked at the direction where the girl went. "Oh Sugar Honey Iced Tea! She's on her period!"
Karin ran towards school ignoring that aching pain that she had on her chest ever since she bumped to that yellow-haired, cheerful man. She shook her head and went inside the school and into her classroom. She sat down and stuck her head on the chair, wishing the pain to go away.
"Now what will I do?" He said as he wondered what to do, now that he was in another world.
"Hey kid!" Naruto looked at the owner of the voice, and saw a man with a blue suit and a blue hat. He jumped down from the tree alarming the blue man.
"Yes?" The blue man just stared at him with widened and shocked eyes as he tried to contemplate the height that Naruto jumped.
"Sh-shouldn't you be at school today?" Naruto looked at the blue man with widened eyes. People here still go to school at his age? This is a nightmare! He tried to devise a plan to get away from it.
'Maybe I should lie about my age? That should be good enough.' he thought to himself. "I'm 21?"
"Nice try kid, you don't look a day over 16 or 17." The man smirked and grabbed Naruto from behind.
"HEY!"
"Tell it to the judge, er- I mean principal." The man said. Naruto just tried to wriggle out of the surprisingly strong grip of the man.
"I LOATHE SCHOOL!" He complained. The man just chuckled and continued to push him towards the direction of the nearest school.
"I did once too, but you'll be thanking us adults when you grow older." Naruto cringed as he remembered those same words that Iruka, his surrogate father, said to him in one of his talks with Iruka while they were eating in Ichiraku's. "You alright kid? You got silent." The man asked. Naruto just forced a smile and continued to look on ahead.
"Yes, why wouldn't I be, I just started my new life." Naruto said sadly while looking at the horizon.
