Hey y'all! I'm starting on a new story since I'm stuck on my other one. When I get inspiration on what to write next, I'll update.
Prologue
The cold chill of the wind breezed across Konoha, the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The full moon was shining behind the Hokage Monument. Most would say it is a calm night. Others would say it is the perfect setting for a date. A select few thought it is perfect for their art.
And a small mob thinks it is perfect for a demon hunt… and one was wishing for the horrid night to end…
"Hurry up! Get the demon!" one mob member yelled to the others.
"Finish what the Fourth started!" The loudest and pink haired one said.
The loud mob carrying various weapons and torches chased a young boy barely six years old…
For the very few that care about the boy, they would wonder where the ninja that was supposed to protect the boy are. What some don't know is that not only civilians were in the mob…
High on rooftops few ninjas were at battle. Almost half wore masks to hide their identity, while the others tried to subdue the masked ones to rescue the boy…
"Help! Help please!" the young boy said. The light of the torches reveal the boys blond hair, seemingly orange under the flame's light. His only clothes were ripped and torn from past beatings. His feet were bare and bloody, for a few mob members threw glass on the road to try and hinder the young lad. The boy was only called the Demon by most of the village… only seeing the demon they believe, instead of the innocent Naruto Uzumaki of the Leaf.
The boy turned left, and then he turned right. Weaving through every alley and street he remembered, trying to get to the Hokage tower as fast as he can…
Just one more turn then it's a straight run…
When the boy turned toward the alley he found his only salvation blocked by a wired fence. He tried to climb it but a horrible stinging sensation coursed through him when he so much as went near it.
"Ha, finally caught you demon…" the pink haired member of the mob screeched.
The cries of help were muffled by the jeers and laughter from the mob. The ninja that promised to protect him were helpless but fought hard to get to him… especially one anbu… Kakashi Hatake…
Please sensei… forgive me…the masked man thought…
Back with the boy, he was screaming in agony… the mob decided to use blunt weapons and forced him into the fence. Lightning arced around emitting a light around the unfortunate boy.
Hearing the boy in pain… Kakashi decided he had enough… speeding through handsigns, he unleased his ultimate jutsu on anybody in his way.
"DUAL RAIKARI!" (basically lightning blades on both his hands, used for thinning enemies and just as strong alone…)
Faster he thought. He mowed down enemies while using his sharingan to tell between friend and foe. He suddenly felt cold when the screaming stopped, only to be replaced by hissing snakes…
Snakes? But Anko is on a mission so… shit!
Using all of his remaining chakra in his legs while keeping both raikari, he sped faster than ever in his state… only to find a horrible sight. All the members of the mob were on the ground covered in long purple snakes, trying not to move. Ahead of him was the traitor sannin Orochimaru with the unconscious but breathing Naruto on his shoulders.
"Hello young Inu… tell the old monkey I send my regards… ku ku ku…"
As the sannin faded in the shadows Kakashi nicked the snake in the cheek and a drop of blood fell on the ground. It was enough…
In a laboratory in hidden in the forest of Konoha, Orochimaru started on something that would cause pain to the boy, but would change the course of history forever…
For what seem like hours in the lab, screaming and yelling was heard from the room, only to be heard by the horrified Hokage and the search and assult team made up his most trusted shinobi.
Summoning his faithful friend Enma, he was armored and ready for battle. Enma in his staff form blew open the doors only to see a laughing Orochimaru and the again unconscious Naruto…
Round the two were several brushes, ink and scrolls used for sealing... and a burning bundle in the corner with a assorted corpses.
"Ku…Ku…Ku…" Orochimaru chucked tiredly. "Too late sensei… my experiment is done… He would be alive, and your Yakamana friend could alter his memories… but here is my only warning… I will be back for my greatest achievement…"
With those words the snake melted into a pile of mud, to never be seen for almost ten years… hopefully…
At the Hokage Tower, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the current Hokage, was with three people. His own student Jaraiya the Toad Sannin, Kakashi Hatake, and Inoich Yakamana, the person entrusted in helping Naruto regain mental stability, were in front of him to tell what they have gathered.
"Lord Hokage," Kakashi started, " please forgive me for not helping Naruto in time…" the usually calm anbu said, sincere tears running down his visible eye.
"No need Kakashi-san, I know you did what you can… and Ibiki is interrorgating the civilians and captured shinobi…" putting an emphasis in the hidden word.
"Thank you Lord Hokage…"
Kakashi seemed to calm down but was unable to open his book, which was a sign that he would still need some time.
"Lord Hokage, Naruto is still somewhat strong in mind…" Inoichi said.
"Somewhat?" Sarutobi asked, a bit worried with the word.
"His mental walls are still up and strong, but his mindscape has taken the form of a sewer… indicating that he has suffered some kind of depression recently…" Inoichi explain.
"Inoichi, please look over Naruto at a distance and report to me any differences."
"At a distance!" Inoichi yelled at the Hokage, his fury blinding him… "Look at the state he's in! He was thrown out of the orphanage little over a year ago! His shithole of an apartment is rampaged daily! Every time you send anbu to protect him, more than half shirk off their duty or outright aid in his suffering only to be released almost half the time! Please Hokage-sama, allow me to take him in… my family would protect him… I just want to honor the wish of my friend…" the last part was said silently after he vented his anger, waiting for the comeback yelling from the Hokage.
"You are right Inoichi, but allowing him so close to you would put your entire family at risk. The reason I couldn't help him more was that the civilian council would use it to their advantage, saying that I was favoring him and I would become emotionally unstable if anything would happen to him… the best I could do is to try to regain enough power to enforce my laws better… I wouldn't be surprised if the shinigami vomited out the Fourth's soul only for the spirit to haunt all of Konoha…"
"I am sorry Lord Hokage for my outburst…"
The Professor waved it off and gestured the eerily quiet Jaraiya…
"The teme did something I wouldn't think possible…" Jaraiya said in his rarely heard serious tone.
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
The silence was unbearable while Jaraiya tried to put it lightly only to say a phrase that would change these lives forever…
"Orochimaru created a synthetic bloodline seal…"
(Dun Dun Dun)
Well that's it! Sorry for the cliffy… the next chapter will be a timeskip… the new seal will be explained in flashbacks since if I continue Jaraiya would in no doubt explain the seal and reveal my surprises for it.
Jaraiya: yea right since when do I reveal secrets…
Me: When you used Minato and Kushina's honeymoon for your book… I believe Kakashi said the chapter was "Kunato and Minshina's Heat" or whatever…
Kushina: He what?
Minato: Sensei, as much of a father figure you are… I sugget you don't run, she loves the hunt…
Jaraiya:F #*!
Me: Anyway… Ja ne!
