I could go on and on about what I like/dislike about Naruto. It would be it's on story itself, but I feel like that's been said and done. Instead, allow me to introduce you to Naruto the Abomination.
The history of the Shinobi World was manipulated by one being. The embodiment of Ootsutsuki Kaguya, the Progenitor of Chakra and unknown queen of the Dragon race, Black Zetsu set out to free his 'Mother' from the sealed prison her two sons, Ootsutsuki Hagoromo and Ootsusuki Hamura, put her in. Both Hagoromo and Hamura were descendants of the mythical race of Dragons. One decision changed everything. Instead of teaching Ninjutsu, Black Zetsu taught Indra a different way to use Chakra.
Instead of developing Ninjutsu, Indra developed Mystical Magic. It required one to use chakra, or as Indra dubbed it, Life Force, to convert the existing charged particles, or lightning, moisture, or water, and shadows, or darkness and manipulate them to certain degrees. In response, Asura developed Solar Magic that allowed one to manipulate existing heat, or fire, air, or wind, and minerals, or earth thanks to weapons the Sage of Six Paths left behind.
Despite the two brothers dying in their battle to be their father's rightful heir, they had children that continued their feud. Thanks to Black Zetsu's meddling, the entire history of the world has changed. Humans evolved and became something… Different. The introduction to Life Force sped things up so to speak. The Dragon blood within the Ootsusuki clan spread and gave birth to different races.
First came the Fae, or the Senju Clan. They seemed to have a connection to the earth thanks to their use of Solar Magic and their Sentient Weapons. Many clans were made consisting of Fae blood or characteristics. These clans were, but weren't limited to: Aburame, Akimichi, Sarutobi, and Uzumaki. Second came the Trolls, or the Uchiha Clan. They were held as the most plentiful and advanced of the clans/races. Their cybernetic eyes, known as the Sharingan, could predict movement, see Life Force, copy certain magic, and there were rumors of a more advanced version. Many clans were made of Troll blood or characteristics. These clans were, but weren't limited to: Hyuuga, with their cybernetic eyes called the Byakguan, Yamanaka, and Kurama.
Next came the Lycan, or Inuzuka Clan, who were literally 'one' with their Ninken. They were known to adopt bestial forms when provoked. Next were the Fiends, or Kaguya clan. Their bones could literally drain the Life Force out of you. Next were the Witches/Warlocks, or the Yotsuki clan. Their skin, due to their useage of Mystical Magic, turned various shades of gray. Clans with Witch/Warlock blood or characteristics were, but weren't limited to: Hatake, Hagoromo, Nara, Shimaru, and Namikaze.
Despite the differences he made, Black Zetsu still managed to manipulate history to his design. His greatest achievement was manipulating the King of Trolls, Uchiha Madara. That manipulation led to a spiral of war, death, and despair that went on for many years. One thing Black Zetsu never thought of was what would his meddling truly mean for his plans to resurrect his 'Mother'? What would replacing Ninjutsu with Magic and chakra with Life Force? (AN: All events in the cannon Naruto are still in effect. Black Zetsu manipulates the same people, only difference is their races.)
It was an average day in Konohagakure, the first Unified Village. It housed many different people of all kinds of races. It fostered the "Will of Fire" philosophy and togetherness. It was home to Fae, Trolls, Lycans, and Witches/Warlocks. The leader of Konoha was none other than Sarutobi Hiruzen, Third Hokage. Forced out of retirement after the Kyuubi, the embodiment of Hatred, broke free from its previous Abomination (Basically a Jinchuuriki) and ran amok in the village. The death toll was high, but it was only thanks to the sacrifice of Namikaze Minato, the Fourth Hokage, that they survived at all.
The Third Hokage sighed deeply. His bug like wings hung low on the floor. Their usual chirper beat was gone. He robotically listened to the Anbu who read him the reports. He stopped listening when he heard his beloved Biwako was killed. She had filled his aged heart with such joy, too bad they were just distant memories at that point. He had to take the mantle of Hokage once again and he didn't know if he could. He was old, easily in his hundreds (Yes I am being literal) and wanted to retire and become a simple advisor.
To add on to his worries, he had to decide what should be done with Minato and Uzumaki Kushina's newborn son, Uzumaki Naruto. The boy had his father's sun kissed spiky hair, but inherited his mother's peachy skin. His pair of four wings were small, but would no doubt beat strongly one day. He was not the first to be born of two different races, but what made him special was he was the newest Abomination for the Kyuubi. Each Abomination of a Bijuu had an unique ability or abilities depending on their Bijuu. It was too early to know what the boy would be capable of, but Hiruzen knew he was destined for greatness.
The Third Hokage endured the report and dismissed his Anbu to gather the Council. He had to get a prospective of the damage and what could be done to save face. Once the Council was gathered, the Third Hokage looked around at those present. In the Shinobi Council you had Hyuuga Hiashi. He had reddish skin, small pointy ears, and the Byakugan inactive, but still clear as day. He had long brown hair done in a sophisticated manner with dignified robes. There was Aburame Shibi, dressed in dark garb with four wings, currently at rest. There was Inuzuka Tsume, with her Ninken, Kuromaru. She was a feral looking woman with a mane of hair, the telltale Inuzuka marks on her cheeks, and sharp eyes. There was Yamanaka Inoichi, with reddish skin, rounded ears, blonde hair in a ponytail, and blue eyes. There was Akimichi Choza, with sturdy wings to carry his weight. There was Nara Shikaku, with his signature pineapple hairstyle, steel gray skin, and scar. There was Uchiha Fugaku, with his reddish skin, large pointy ears, and black coal cybernetic eyes.
Next came his Advisors, his old teammates. If he were honest, two of them were irrelevant and only one really mattered in the fact he was a real pain in the ass. Shimaru Danzo, with his deep gray skin and heavily bandaged body. He was given the moniker the Darkness of the World for good reason.
Hiruzen called the meeting to begin and listened intently to each clans' report. It seemed the Hatake clan was hit heavily by the Kyuubi attack, along with the Kurama and Shimura. The losses for all three were easily in the 75%. The Nara lost around 28%, the Akimichi around 30% due to them being the ones to engage the Kyuubi with taijutsu. The Yamanaka lost 15%, the Inuzuka lost 20%, the Hyuuga lost 10%, the Sarutobi lost 40%, that hurt the Third deeply. The Uchiha only lost 5%, which caused a lot of suspicion, but it was put to the side. It would take years to recover, not to mention so many orphans to take care of.
"Hokage-sama, is that who I think it is?" Tsume asked the question everyone wanted answered. Most, if not all of the clan leaders knew Minato, either personally or as a respected leader. They knew he had a thing for the red haired Uzumaki and the baby before them was the perfect combination of the two. Then again, they didn't need to know the man to know this was his son. Tsume could smell the similarities, though there was a strong scent of fox, which got her thinking. Hiashi could see the similarities in the boy's Life Force with that of both Minato and Kushina. Shikaku didn't need to use mystical lightning magic to charge his brain to figure it out. Everyone else just assumed.
"I don't see a point in hiding it from the Council. This is Uzumaki Naruto, son of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina. He is also the Abomination of the Kyuubi no Yoko. I feel it is my responsibility to tell you a secret held from you for most, if not all, of your lives." The Third Hokage stated. Everyone was shocked, what secret could have been hidden from such seasoned warriors?
"Uzumaki Kushina was the previous Abomination for the Kyuubi. It is a well kept secret that female Abominations are at their weakest during childbirth. According to the Fourth, just before he died, a masked Troll somehow managed to get past Anbu guards, and separate Kushina from Minato, who was busy trying to keep the charm imprisoning the Kyuubi active and stable. He then broke the charm, and managed to control the Kyuubi for a time, until Minato severed the link and recaptured the Kyuubi at the cost of his life." The Third Hokage explained. Tsume seemed to take it the hardest, with Hiashi a close second. Tsume was Kushina's rival/friend. How could she have known Kushina for all those years and not know she had to suffer the torment of being an Abomination?
There was an uproar among the Council. Mainly about the Masked Troll and if the Uchiha were to blame. They did lose less out of the attack and only one Troll has ever been recorded controlling the Kyuubi. Fugaku insisted his clan were not behind any of it and the Third believed him. He cautioned everyone from allowing emotions to sway them. They all lost loved ones and hadn't had time to grieve.
"I am sure this is unnecessary, but I would rather be safe than sorry. Everything learned today is an S rank matter and falls under Hokage clearance only. I will also make a decree later today to all of Konoha. I will announce Naruto as the Abomination of the Kyuubi and decree that no one can kill, maim, or harm Naruto out of petty revenge. He is a hero and I will stand by him." The Third Hokage stated. He rocked the crying baby back to sleep, before he gave the floor to the Council.
"Hokage-sama, is it really wise to tell the whole village?" Hiashi asked. The only reason Kushina had a life was because no one knew of her status. It was no secret Abominations were feared at best, hated and demonized at worst. With all the loss from the attack still fresh, it was like throwing oil on a fire.
"Yes it is. I am not arrogant nor deluded enough to believe we can keep this a secret from the village. They have a right to know, by not telling them about Kushina we left ourselves open. We could have had more guards, been more prepared, but that is behind us. Obviously, I can't allow a single clan to adopt the child. He plays too big of role in the village as a whole to only swear allegiance to a single clan. With that being said, I won't object to all the clans helping him in their own way." The Third Hokage said slyly. He knew he couldn't just adopt the boy out of all the orphans this disaster gave birth to. It would lead to too many questions and he still needed to have a separate meeting with the financial department and other departments vital to rebuilding his great village.
The other clan leaders caught wind of his veiled invitation. Naruto was the closest thing to royalty in Konoha next to Senju Tsunade, the Uchiha, and the Hyuuga. The Namikaze clan were a fearsome clan of Witch/Warlock warriors who specialized in using mystical lightning magic. Minato being the most infamous with his ability to achieve Hyper Speed. It was a feat only he achieved to this day. The Uzumaki were also a fearsome clan, who specialized in using solar wind magic and creating spells for various tasks. From Barrage (attack), Barricade (defense), and Supplemental. Both clans were almost eradicated by the joint efforts Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakire. The Namikaze and Uzumaki numbers are rumor at best, but one fact was that Konoha had a member of both clans in their village.
With that taken care of, the Third Hokage ended the meeting and told them to gather their clansmen for the announcement. Naruto's lineage was under Hokage clearance. Any who spoke of it to anyone besides him would meet a swift death should word get out. Hiruzen sighed deeply for the umpteenth time that day. He placed Naruto in the hands of a trusted nurse and went to prepare himself.
The announcement went as he had expected. The Fourth may have grown up during a warring period, but Hiruzen grew up through all three. While the Fourth held hope and believed in his people to see Naruto for what he truly was, the Third knew enough about the world to know things were not that simple. He could explain to the people about the complexity of the charm keeping the Kyuubi at bay, but it didn't sway the people. Perhaps the death of his wife and son on the same day had a greater toll than he thought?
Once the death threats were silenced by a display of Hiruzen's Killing Intent, in the form of a raging fire, he explained the simple fact that killing Naruto would release the Kyuubi upon them. That quieted most of the villagers. The decree to not harm Naruto was widely accepted after that. The final decree caused more uproar. It was forbidden to tell anyone in Naruto's age group or with the current rank of Genin about his status. Those who bitched were reminded that they should be happy they were alive and mourn those they loss.
After the announcement there was a universal feeling of despair and lamenting throughout the village. Many children cried and lives were irreversibly destroyed in a single moment. The Third began the tiring job of running a hidden village. He was determined to keep busy to stave off the loneliness and bitterness he felt towards the world. He would not allow this to destroy him. His wings beat a little and get just a spark of their glow back…
Alright that is the first chapter. A lot more will be revealed such as why I refer to them as warriors and not ninja. How they use magic and what kind of life Naruto has led. Just so you know, I will time skip to where Naruto enters the Academy. I am leaving the floor up to you readers. Should the Uchiha be massacred? What do you think of them being Trolls? Have any questions concerning the races? Ask and I will either PM you or discuss it in the next Author Note. Bye.
