Hello everyone, I know I said I was going to update 'What weapons are for' but I had this story in my head (Or more precisely in my computer) for a while and just had to post this. This is my twist on the chakra-less Naruto idea
ENJOY!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
That was the sound as a six year old child continuously punching a wall. The child knew that his knuckles were red and would start bleeding if he kept going but he didn't care. Any normal person might be wondering why the child would be doing what he was doing.
The child's name was Naruto Uzumaki, and the reason as to why he's punching the wall is that he's currently releasing his pent up anger.
As far as Naruto could remember people have always hated him and mistreated for no apparent reason. It was sad but true, the only person that treated Naruto fairly was the leader of the village of Konoha.
The leader of the village is known as the Third Hokage. He is also known as the 'God of Shinobi' or as 'The Professor'. Because of how the Third Hokage has done his best to help Naruto ever since he (Naruto) can remember, the child's dream wanted to be just like him when he grew up, he wanted to be the next Hokage.
But that dream was ripped away from him…
In order to become Hokage he needed to become a ninja but in order to become a ninja he would have to go to the ninja academy, but there was one problem.
Ninjas use an inner energy called chakra for their techniques, which were called Jutsu. Chakra is made by combining both spiritual and physical energy together.
But Naruto was faced by the harsh truth that he had no chakra and since he has no chakra he won't be capable of using jutsu since even a Taijutsu specialist use chakra.
In the end Naruto won't be capable of using even the most basic techniques…
Naruto's eyes were covered by his spiky golden blond hair as he kept punching the wall. Naruto didn't know why he was cursed. He didn't know why he was so cursed. He didn't know what he did to deserve being treated as he was. People called him demon and freak but there was one particular name that stung him the most.
Orphan…
Orphan…
Naruto wondered if his parents were really dead or they had just abandoned him because he didn't have any chakra. With that thought in mind Naruto punched the wall with all of his strength. The six year old winced in pain as the knuckles in his right hand was bleeding, Naruto removed his hand from the wall, leaving a stain of fresh blood on the wall.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Naruto heard someone hitting the door of his apartment. He knew what that meant. It meant that someone was trying to forcefully enter his home. Naruto was used to this as some villagers went beyond just treating him harshly but also beating him up to the point of near death.
Naruto hid under the table of the kitchen as he saw a ninja enter his home. The ninja was a man with the typical Konoha uniform. He wobbled slightly. Naruto didn't know why the man was like that but he knew that when somebody was like that, they couldn't react as fast as normal, so when man entered the kitchen Naruto quickly moved from down the table and sneaked around the man
''COME HERE DEMON BRAT!'' shouted the man as he ran after Naruto.
The blond boy kept going and went out of his apartment but his blue eyes widened when he saw a mob of people in front of him.
''Well look at who we have here'' a civilian from the mob said with a sadistic grin. While the mob itself was made of people who had too much to drink that didn't mean that Naruto was any safer.
Simply to say Naruto summarized his whole situation in one simple, if slightly vulgar word
''shit''
And shit it was as Naruto ran away but the mob wouldn't just watch him go as they went after him.
Naruto kept running as fast as he could in order to escape. He needed to get to the Hokage tower for some he-
BUMP!
Naruto wasn't able to finish his train of thought as he bumped into something hard and fell on his butt. Naruto stared up and was surprised at the person he saw.
It was a young man who could not be much older than 16, he had jet black hair and black eyes. He was wearing black pants along with a long sleeved black shirt. On top of his shirt was a black metal chest guard that was located on the left side of his chest, the black haired youth was also carrying a double-edged sword on his back.
''Are you ok?'' Naruto was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the young man speak ''I didn't hurt you did I?'' Naruto was slightly taken back by the concern in the young man's voice
''Y-Yeah'' said Naruto so quietly that he was barely heard by the young man
''There he is!'' Naruto's eyes widened when he turned around and saw the mob. On instinct Naruto ran and hid behind the young man who by now was wondering
'What the heck is happening?'
The mob stopped in front of both Naruto and the black haired youth.
''May I ask what's the problem?'' the youth asked with a raised eyebrow
''Give the brat. He must pay for what he's done'' said one of the villagers who wasn't drunk
The youth's eyes narrowed. He could tell that whatever the kid did wasn't enough reason to chase him, and the fact that he could feel so much murderous intent coming from the mob solidified his judgment.
He could also feel fear radiating from the kid in waves.
''I'm sorry but I don't think I can give him to you''
''If you don't give the demon brat up we'll hurt you'' the same villager said
The youth tensed the moment the villager said 'demon brat' and his eyes hardened. So this kid was being neglected because of something he could not control. That seemed to be since the youth could feel no demonic energy from Naruto. (A/N: The youth can sense energy but he cannot sense the Kyubi's chakra. I will explain why later on)
''You're welcome to try'' he said and Naruto's eyes widened for a moment
The villagers yelled as they charged at the pair. The youth smiled at Naruto
''Don't worry. I won't let them hurt you'' He said and Naruto was surprised by the youth's words. The youth turned around and his eyes suffered a change.
His eyes changed from their jet black color to an electric blue. The sight was pretty intimidating as the youth's eyes started to glow.
''Leave'' he said, the villagers didn't stop ''I. Said. LEAVE!'' yelled the youth as a wave of killing intent was felt around the area. The villagers stopped cold on their track. They were sweating a lot and some were even starting to hyperventilate,
''Well?'' asked the youth with a glare as the killing intent became even more unbearable to the villagers ''aren't you going to leave? Or should I make you'' at this the youth's eyes glowed with greater intensity. The villagers started to leave, one by one until nobody was left.
The youth eyes returned to their normal jet black color as the killing intent in the area disappeared. The anger in the young man's eyes disappeared slowly but surely. When the young man had seen the look of pure fear on the child, he knew that he had to act, kids were not supposed to have that look in their eyes.
It was a look that said that even death was a better place.
The young man looked at the blond who was looking up at him with wide blue eyes, the youth could see a big amount of awe in Naruto's eyes, and in combination with the whisker marks that the kid had on each of his cheeks, made him resemble a cat (Or a fox?)
''What?'' asked the youth
''That… was… AWESOME!'' said Naruto jumping in excitement ''You just stared at them and then they ran away, that was so cool!'' the youth smiled lightly at the blonde's words ''How did you do that?'' there were stars on Naruto's eyes, which seemed to emphasize his excitement
''It just something I picked up over the last couple of months'' said the youth honestly while scratching the back of his head. The ability he had used was something he had learned fairly recently and he still needed to master it 'It wasn't THAT impressive, right? I mean, I only used killing intent along with Clairvoyance to scare them' (A/N: Clairvoyance is when the youth's eye color changed to electric blue) clearly the youth was a little too modest for his own good
''Aw meanie…'' the blond was now pouting. He just wanted to know what the youth did but it seemed that the youth wasn't going to tell him much
''Anyways…'' started the youth trying to change the subject ''What did you do to make all those people so angry?'' asked the youth seriously. That mob clearly wasn't just aiming to hurt the child, they were aiming to kill, and the youth was sure that the name they called the kid meant something
''I don't know…'' Naruto said looking down on the ground
''You… don't know?'' if the young man was curious before, he was now downright confused.
''They have always been treating me badly like that…''
''Do your parents allow this?'' asked the youth with a twitching eye. How he wanted to find the blonde's parents and teach them some lessons about how to treat children-
''I'm an orphan''
Oh…
Well there goes that train of thought…
There was an awkward silence between the two for a few seconds, but it felt like hours. Eventually it was the youth that 'broke the ice', so to speak.
''Don't you have a legal guardian or someone to be taking care of you'' in the youth's opinion, it was getting ridiculous how the blond was being treated. Even in his homeland those of his (the youth's) kind were treated with a little less hatred, sure people avoided him and have tried to kill him, but that happened only once or twice. This kid seemed to go through that on a daily basis.
''I have Jiji, but he's the leader of the village and is always busy''
'If he can't protect one child inside his own village, then he's clearly not fit to be the leader' the youth thought darkly ''Where is he?'' the youth asked
''He works there'' Naruto pointed to a red tower which had the kanji for 'fire'
''Well… can you take me there? I need to speak to him'' the youth had arrived at Konoha to speak to the leader and get a job as a mercenary for the village, but it seemed that now he also had some 'other business' to discuss
Meanwhile inside the Hokage office, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third hokage sneezed. After wiping his nose, the old leader felt a chill go down his spine. He had a weird feeling, like something that he had done a long time ago was going to come back and bite him in the butt.
''I hope I'm just getting sick'' muttered Hiruzen hopefully. He really needs an excuse to escape paperwork.
Well there goes the first chapter. Sorry for not updating 'What weapons are for' but I think I'm going to end up doing that tomorrow or on Sunday (hopefully tomorrow).
In this story I plan to have a Naruto who doesn't use chakra but instead is a psychic (that's what a Psionic is by the way) because honestly, I haven't seen much people use that concept. I mean, when it comes to anime and manga at least, they tend to stick to magic, ki or they just invent their own energy (Dragon Ball Z has Ki, Fairy Tail has Magic, Bleach has Reiatsu and Naruto has Chakra)
Answers to some possible questions
What is Clairvoyance?: It's an ability which allows to gain information about an object, person, location or event through means other than that of the five senses. The word is a French term that means 'Clear Vision'. In this story I will have Clairvoyance be technique similar to a doujutsu but still with some differences.
What will Naruto learn?: Right now I'm debating between two psychic abilities, but that will be for later.
Those are the only questions I can think of. So if you have any more just ask in a review and I will answer it in the next chapter (You will have to review in the latest chapter or else there is the chance of me missing the question)
