*Sound Effect*
Thank you for selecting this story, I hope you enjoy. This first part may be a bit confusing, but all will be explained later. And sorry about not having any updates, I got a burn across the bottom of my hand from a 4th of July firework accident. ENJOY!
"Naruto, RUN!" yelled a man with spiky blond hair in his late 20's to a boy no less than 5. The man was in hand-to-blade combat with 3 people dresses in black-stealth suits with white animal masks. 1 of the assassins was a woman around 5' 8" with a slender body and a cat mask and purple hair. The other one was around his late teens with blue hair in a ponytail, around 5' 5", and a monkey mask. The last one was a man in his mid 20's with lighter blue hair in a strait style, 5' 7", and wearing a tiger mask. On their left shoulder was a red swirl insignia.
"Minato Namikaze, you must die under the order of Danzo," spoke the tiger mask in a firm voice. As he unsheathed his katana, so did the others. He charged at the now named Minato, who ducked a sword slash, punched him where the sun don't shine, and got up in a Krav Maga stance. Next the Cat Mask swung his sword at his feet, causing Minato to jump back; with that retreat, he grabbed a rather long kitchen knife. Minato stabbed left, only to be parried. The purple-haired woman kicked the father in the stomach, making him stumble, 'Damn, Mizuki's down and I can't find Kabuto. How can I fight him? Come on think Yugao, think!'
Kick after kick and punch after punch, Minato continued; after around 15 dodges, Yugao caught Minato's right foot and pushed it up. The blond-haired man did flip indeed, but after a successful 360 degrees, he regained his balance and swiped Yugao's feet, making her fall. She slowly got back up to see her katana pointed at her head, with Minato at the handle, "I am sorry for this, but I must protect my so *SLSH*-"
The blonde ban looked down to see a wazashi through his chest, the end glistened with his blood, "Tell me, how will you protect your son when you are dead?" Kabuto said as he pushed the sword even deeper, causing Minato's blood to pour more.
He was about to die, but he smiled, the blood from his mouth made it look sadder than it was supposed to, "Love is a bond *cough* stronger than death's grip," Minato spoke, "I know what Danzo wants, and I know why. Tell him, that he can *cough* suck a dick, and KYUUBI will never *cough* belong...to...him."
And after the cryptic answer and vulgar insult, he died. Kabuto looked at Yugao still at the ground, "Don't loose your footing. It may cost you your life."
Mizuki joined the 2 as she got up. With him was an unconscious Naruto, "So who wants to kill the brat?"[
Yugao remembered her mission and volunteered. She took out a Karambit knife and pushed the blade in deep 5 times across his chest. A large amount of blood flooded out of his chest as they left, but only one felt regret, sadness, guilt, and hesitation.
In an instant Naruto shoot up from his bed. His chest covered with cold-sweat; he turned on the lamp and looked at his chest to see the same jagged scars. The dream, wasn't a dream. 10 years ago, his father, Minato Namikaze, was murdered by 3 assassins. Paramedics found him bleeding to death, the only reason they got there was because of his neighbors hearing a disturbance in the quiet home. His mother. Kushina Uzumaki, died giving birth to Naruto. So without family, he was sent to an adoption agency. 3 years later, he was adopted by a woman named Yugao Uzuki, one of his mothers highschool friends. Ever since then, his adoptive mother taught him martial arts as a pass time, but he gained another. His computer and tech skills were beyond comparison, and rivaled none to date, sometimes Yugao thought he knew a little too much.
Naruto looked across his room to get a glimse of his monitor screen saver which had the time: 5:15. an hour and 55 minutes until his first day as a sophomore. If he hurried he could exercise for 45 minutes, get ready for High School in 25, and have an extra 50 for his search. His search was to find those responsible for his father's murder, make their lives hell, and then end their misery. In real life he was Naruto Uzumaki, high school and martial arts prodigy. But in Cyberspace and on the the streets, he was someone else, something else: Arashi. Master hacker, field tactition, marksman, vigilante, and shadow. trying to catch him was life trying to catch smoke with your bare hands. He could ruin your life seconds, and you couldn't even trace him, hell you wouldn't even know it was him.
Anyways, the teenager put on his shirt and got into his seat, logged into his monitors (3 infront of him, and 2 on top of the 3 attached to the wall). Naruto opened 3 programs. The first was a VPN secured by a 256-bit encryption with a 3DES/AES algorithm. Next was a Global I.P. Address locater and decrypter with could decrypt even Naruto's own encryption in 15 minutes, while none could even succeed with decades. He could track any signal, I.P. address, and/or server to its source. The last was a state-of-the-art decrytion software, one that could gain corporate files so vital, that their publicity would make Chuck Norris say 'Whoa'.
"Another day, another 15-20 years in prison added to the list," Naruto muttered as he did the usual routine check on the PSIA, CSICE, National Security Bureau and so on. While the programs were scrambling his signal, accessing Japan's Military and Security firewall, and tracing servers, he was working on a project of his own: an AI. One that he had been working on since he was 12, all to make it perfect; he still felt it was missing something. Before he knew it, it was 5:50, so he began to exercise his body a bit more than an Olympian Althete.
After the daily routine, a shower was necessary to wake him up and wash of sweat. Once out he changed into his uniform consisting of Navy Blue pants, a white dress shirt, a navy blue sweater, and a black tie with grey stripes. On the sweater pocket was the Leaf symbol the high school used. Every high school in Tokyo had one, it seperated them in competitive matches, because colors were apparently too boring. The blond hacker then walked downstairs to see his Kaa-san drinking coffee, and hugged her good morning.
"So... sophomore year huh?" Yugao said as she took another sip, "Its the same year I met your mother. She was one of a kind, self-less, kind, and stubborn. Like you."
"I'm not that stubborn," replied Naruto as he poured himself a bowl of Krave. Yugao gave him 'that' look. He was relentless once set on the right path, and boy she had no idea what he really did. Naruto sighed in defeat as he went to get a spoon. The blond was about to pull the tray, until his senses told him to turn around and react. In less than a second, he turned and caught a project thrown at him. It was a spoon? Thrown by his mother?
Yugao sat back down, "Good. Summer hasn't dulled your skills. Remember, focus on your grades, stay out of trouble, don't listen to Jiraya, and please don't hack anything."
"No need to worry kaa-san, I'll be alright. Bye," assured Naruto as he left to walk to school.
[Flashback: Yugao]
General Hiruzen, I have returned from Danzo's mission," said a still masked Yugao with 5 year-old Naruto's blond on her armor.
"Was the mission a success?" replied the General. Yugao nodded but started to cry, tear came from the bottom of her mask, "You said that the mission objective was to interrogate the Namikaze. NOT TO KILL HIM AND HIS SON!"
Hiruzen handed her a hankerchief, "Knowing you, he is alive. Only because of your skill in knifing, and you also want to adopt the boy. Am I wrong?"
THe purple-haired assassin shook her head, causing Hiruzen to give her a sincere smile, "Okay, but I will need 3 years to make sure that your are considered KIA and that Danzo cannot reach you. What would you like your new surname to be?" informed the Milirtary man.
She thought of the boy she almost killed, and about his family, then his mother, "Uzumaki, I would like my new surname to be Uzumaki."
"Consider it done!" said Hiruzen, "By this day you are now unofficially Yugao Uzumaki, adopted mother of Naruto Namikaze."
[Flashback End]
'Naruto, I am so sorry for the pain you have gone through,' thought Yugao as she teared up.
"Hey Naruto!" yelled a teenage boy with messy brown hair, sharp teeth, and a red fang mark on each cheek. Said blond looked back to see Kiba Inuzuka, "Oh hey Kiba. How was your summer?"
"Not bad, my sis and I went to our uncle's home Alaska to care for some Alaskan Huskies. It was cold, but pretty fun," said Kiba who continued to walk with Naruto, "How was yours?"
Naruto thought about his summer nights of beating the living shit out of every criminal while searching for the truth about his father, Spending hours coding and hacking or the corporate fatcats who leeched on lower class he ruined, "It was...fun."
"Hey you hear about this new hero called Arashi. People say he's like a epic figher. During the summer he took down a lot of crooks, murders, and corrupted leaders. My mom says that there's a reward if you can get a picture of his face, and an even higher one if you can catch him. In case you see him, he wears a white mask, with 3 vertical, red slashes under his right eye."
"Cool," 'Damn, now they know what to look for. I should be more careful
By the time they finished talking, they were at the gates of Konoha High. People were talking, 1 person was sleeping, 1 one eating chips, 1 was shouting about the "Flames of Youth" and some were fawning over Sasuke Uchiha. Somethings don't change. Tsunade Senju walked up to the podium and gave the Orientation Speech, "Welcome new and returning students of Konoha High. Here you will learn not only about subjects of school, but also about your self, blah,blah, blah, another year, be respectful, blach blach, I you are now dismissed."
Naruto looked at his schedule and went to room B-69. He sat next to his friends Kiba, Hinata Hyuuga, Chouji Akimichi, Shikamaru Nara, and Shino Aburame. Ino Yamanaka, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha were also in the same class.
"Gooooooood Morning class!" yelled a voice from outside. 'Where have I heard that voice before?' Naruto thought. "My name is Jiraya, and welcome to your homeroom class for the next 9 months!"
'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!'
So what do you think guys. I know it was a little weird, but this was an introduction chapter, and I promise the rest will have more action. I would also like you to decide hte pairings for this story. The options are: Hinata, Ino, Sakura, Tenten, Karin, Shion, and Koyuki. Or I might add characters from other anime if you prefer, first I though that 'I'm kinda trying to keep this simple', but it needed a bit of complexity. Thanks again, and I promise I'll update soon.
