The return of Uzumaki Dandji. Chapter 1.
Disclaimer: I do not own, will ever own nor have ever owned Naruto, just face it, if I did would I be writing fanfics?
I don't own the characters of this fic except for one, I made him up in my twisted little head.
And I might have taken a few ideas from fanfic authors that I have read and like, sorry about that (sweat drop)
I also messed up some facts to make the story more believable. No like no read.
"stuff" = speaking.
(stuff) = authors comment.
`stuff´ = thinking.
*stuff* = demon speak.
this is a story i have been posting on deviantart and an other site. I just got the aidere to post it here as well today and i am uploading the seven i have mede so far. i have also removed the polls that are done from the bottoms.
Once upon a time in Mexico… (Wait a sec, that is the wrong story)
We now advert you from my messed up thought by the intake of hot tea.
Just to clarify before I start for real. This takes place when Naruto is 11, and has only just failed his second genin exam. I will make up jutsu in this fic, just because I feel the need to.
Dandji's POW. -- (That is the guy I made up)
He was walking towards his home after so long, how long had it been… 12, 13 years? Somewhere around that. And in all that time he hadn't seen the gates of his beloved Konoha. He was looking forward to meeting his brother again; it had been so long…
He had no idea that the village had changes so much in his absence. That his clan was whipped out, his brother dead, none whom he considered as his friends were still alive and only one who might remember who he was. He was screwed indeed.
As he reached the gates, a chuunin came to identify him as usual, "halt, state your business"
Dandji smirked, `he don't know the brother of his own hokage? What a pity fool. I might as well play with him a little´ "Tentio Dandji, returning from a long-term mission, here to see the hokage"
The unknown chuunin eyed him for a few seconds. Gave a sigh and pointed to the hokage building.
"straight down the road, big red building, cant miss it" Dandji frowned and moved along. Wondering in his quit mind why the silver haired bastard (Mizuki) was being a bitch to him.
He proceeded towards the hokage building, scouting the streets for his friends and family.
`where is everybody? They cant all have missions at once.´ Dandji wondered. As he approached the hokage building he was stopped again, but this time by an ANBU member, "Jikitiki Dandji reporting back from long-term mission to the hokage" (yes he is just rambling random surnames off to confuse the poor guards)
The ANBU signalled to a subordinate, who lead him to the hokage-office, Dandji of course knows where this is, but follows suit all the same.
The ANBU left Dandji in front of the door, he knocked 3 times and waited till he heard the reassuring "enter", but then realiced it was not his brother's voice. `Either he got really old really fast, or that is not my brother. If I am wrong then I am not an Uzumaki´
Dandji entered the office, seeing the third sitting in his brothers chair. Upon entry, the third's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Minato?" the third said with a faint voice "not quit old man, Uzumaki Dandji reporting in after twelve and a half year mission, where is my brother? I missed him so" the third's eyes opened wider, looking like they would pop out at any second. "Dandji? We thought you had died. Being gone for all this time when send on a C-rank mission. That should have been way over your level so I thought you had meet a missing-nin"
Dandji smirked at his dumfounded teacher "I did, that little man I was to escort home had a bounty on his head attracting a whole lot of them" the third's eyes widened to beyond what is considered humanly possible. Dandji threw a book at the hokage's desk "this bingo book contains the names and ranks of the people I had to kill to protect that old guy, sorted after rank"
The third picked up the book, looking over the pages, at first he was rather calm, `D-rank criminals; 35. Total bounty on heads: 2960 ryo. C-rank criminals; 27. Total to bounty on heads: 3182 ryo.´
The third was confident that the ninja in front of him where able to do this, but was shocked to see what stood next. B-ranked criminals; 20. Total to bounty on heads: 3927 ryo. A-ranked criminals; 12. Total to bounty on heads: 4029 ryo. A-ranked criminals; 6. Total to bounty on heads: 9002 ryo.
The poor hokage nearly dropped on his head when he saw the last. S-ranked criminals; 2. Total bounty on heads: 20000 ryo. A subtotal at 43100 ryo.
As the hokage just starred at the last page, Dandji produced a small bag that he threw at the desk as well. "this contains the index fingers of the missing-nin I have taken down. I know that a chuunin's word in not much proof of killing S-ranked missing-nin"
There was an awkward silence in the office for a few minutes, as the hokage regained himself.
"Dandji, do you know what has happened while you where gone?" Dandji got a strange look on his face, "I know I was gone for a while, but what out of the ordinary would have happened?"
The third looked sad "I have to tell you this…" the hokage explained that a few months after he had left, the Kyuubi had attacked the city, and his brother had sacrificed his life to save the village. That his entire family had been whipped out. Dandji was utterly shocked, depressed and his will to live lost, his friends, team-mates and family where all dead.
The third spoke some more but Dandji just couldn't listen, he dappled deeper into himself. Hearing the raw untamed laughter he had grown to hate more and more over his years. He snapped out of it when the third slapped him across his face, "what". "Listen when I tell you the only bright side"
"what is bright at this" he said through his attempt to suppress tears. "your brother, before he died, he had son" this made Dandji quicken up, he still had some family, a nephew to be exact.
Other slap made its way to Dandji's face "I believe I told you to listen…" the hokage explained what had happened to his nephew, from the day of his birth, where he had the demon sealed within him, his fathers hope of him being a hero. And the villagers hate towards him. That he now was at the ninja academy after his failure.
"Now you know his situation, but you must realise that he doesn't know his roots, nor that the demon is sealed within him. Other than that, you cant just walk around the streets like that, you look like the splitting image of your brother, go dye your hair or something"
"Ok I will, by the way, it the family house still mine?" "Technically it belongs to Naruto, but you have, from now on, guardianship of him.
Naruto's POW -- (I did not make him up, but I think I mentioned that in the disclaimer)
He had that scheming smile on his face he always ad when he made up a new prank, he was going to (couldn't think of something so I stole a prank off the prank institute)
1. Go into any local convenience store and scope out their chocolate bar selection.
2. Buy a couple candy bars that are hollow or have fillings on the inside.
3. Take them home.
4. Unwrap them VERY carefully. Undo just one end and slide the chocolate out.
5. Put mustard in the chocolate bars. You can use a syringe if you have one, but you might not be able to get mustard into it.
6. Slide the candy back into the wrapper and glue the end shut.
7. Go back to your corner store of choice and when the clerk isn't looking, put your candy bar(s) on top of the stack of the same type.
Naruto went to the store and brought 7 candy bars, making sure to have enough to make at least one right. Took them home, and after 25 minuets of mustard and chocolate, he had 4 mustard bars.
When he returned he saw a man walk out of the hairdresser, he seemed oddly familiar but he didn't know anyone with pitch black spiky hair. He discarded the thought and entered the store again, using his "super" stealth to place the bars unnoticed.
As fate would have it (I am fate in my fanfic) the black haired man from before and brought a candy bar. He opened it and took a bite while he paid, only to spit out the "candy" and start yelling.
Naruto did his best to hold a straight face, which of course was futile. He burst out laughing as the man turned to him, starred a little. Then to both Naruto and the store clerk's surprise, he started laughing like a crazed man. In Naruto's experience, when people did that, getting away in top speed was a good plan. He ran all he could, still laughing so hard his ribs hurt.
The next day.
Naruto got up as he usually did, got a cold shower while his instant ramen was cooking. (well I have to make him do something while the darn thing cooks) he got out as soon it was done, separated his chopsticks with his usual "itadakimasu" and inhaled his breakfast at an seemingly impossible speed. He had taken his bag and almost left for school, when he suddenly remembered he was in nothing but his trousers. Getting dressed rather quickly and hurried do school, he had Iruka in first class and didn't want to disappoint one of the two (that HE is aware off) people in the village that did not hate him.
Even with a good start that Iruka provided, it was a boring and unadvent full day, the odd girl had approached him at one time, but had hastily left again, stammering something he couldn't hear. He had just labelled it #the odd things the blue haired girl does#
When the day was over he left for Ichiraku's to get some well deserved lunch ramen.
As he left the academy entrance he felt a hand drop on his back, was it Iruka? No, it felt different.
He felt a chill run down his spine, he knew this guy, but from where. He slowly turned his head and faced the person. A grimace of fear plastered Naruto's face; it was the victim of his mustard prank from yesterday. Naruto tried to make a run for it, but he was held firmly in place by the one hand of the stranger. Naruto stopped and awaited the coming yelling and possible beating, but the man just smiled and went "thanks, I needed someone too pull a prank on me, I had to go without for years. You remind me of my brother kid, I was just told yesterday that he had died, you just helped me over a tough time." Naruto starred in utter disbelieve, he wasn't mad? Never happened before.
The simple fact that this man was both strange and friendly intrigued Naruto. (If you asked him he say something else course he don't know that word)
The man stopped laughing and straightened up. "You are Uzumaki Naruto right?" "Yeah" Naruto answered hesitantly. "Then may I congratulate you, the third just placed me in charge of you as your legal guardian"
Naruto's eyes almost popped out of his skull and rolled down the street while he himself back dropped and smacked his head on the floor. The first time he meets his guardian he feeds him a mustard bar, real smooth.
Then it hit him, this person was going to be in charge of his life, no way I'll let that happen. "why did the third give me a guardian? Doesn't he trust that I can manage on my own? I have been living on the street from I was 5 till just last year, when he gave me an apartment" that seemed to shock the man, wait what is with those eyes? Is he sad? What for?
"It must have been hard, listen now I can make this thing null and void if you want me too, but before I offer you this. One week's trail, if you still want me to scram after that, I am gone"
Naruto thought this over more than he would normally think things over, it might change his life completely "that is a deal, one week then I choose" the man smiled to him, not as a friend, dependently not like some villagers would smile hatefully at him, he did not know this smile, for he had never had someone smile fatherly to him.
"By the way, my name is Dandji, Namikaze Dandji." Naruto somehow knew that he lied about his name, but he reasoned that this had a good explanation. Winch he would find later.
For now he would just test this strangely familiar person.
Hinata's POW
Hinata was a wreak, first she had tried to comfort Naruto on his lost genin exam, she had failed too, but it was her first fail, so she thought nothing off it. But it was his and he seemed just a little angry and just tried harder to become good enough. Wanting to encourage him, maybe even confess she like him, she had approached him, turned bright red, stammered some excuse and left in a hurry.
Then she was mad at herself for being weak and shy. She wanted made a attempt when school was out, he was of course out of the classroom the micro second the bell rang, heading to Ichiraku's ramen for his cravings, and she knew it wasn't normal to eat so much so fast, but she thought it sweet. She thought everything about him was either sweet or admirable.
She was expecting that he was long gone, but he was still there, someone had grasped him from behind. A tall man with pitch black hair, his posture reminded her of Naruto, as well as his hairstyle.
She closed in, listening to their conversation, `legal guardian? Didn't he have someone to take care of him?´ everyone knew he had no parents, but to not even have someone to at least check up on you once in a while. She listened with a stalker like interest to what they said. `He lived on the streets? ´ she pinched a tear because she now learned something of him no one knew.
She was sad for him, more than she had been for any reason in a long, long time, she had learned to live with the fact that her clan where brutal and mean to her. But she never expected others to have such troubles, and he just seemed happy and cheery all the time. She had long ago seen through his fake smiles but never thought it ran so deep.
She now admired him more, and deducted that now would not be a good time to confess (she was freaking out to tell him, now in front of a complete stranger. No way)
She went home to her family, she knew what was coming.
As she entered and took off her shoes softly calling "I'm home" hoping no one would hear.
But someone always head, and her father was told. She didn't even reach the door to her room before he was standing before her, looking his normal evil self. "Did you improve today? Or did you just fail as always?" Hinata knew this was the bets time too look at your feet, while nodding from time to time, just taking the verbal beating.
When he was satisfied in destroying his daughter he left her to herself. As he walked away he thought over why he did this every day. She may never be confident, if she discovered her potential it could be fatal, she is a demon, and must never grow stronger.
To be continued.
