"Rasengan!"
"Chidori!"
Naruto and Sasuke yelled as their Jutsu clashed before the Chakra used to form them dispersed, Sasuke still charged hand went through Naruto's chest, as Naruto's claw gauged out Sasuke's right eye. They both stood still before they fell and with a thud landed side by side, with blood pooling under the blond, and a stream of blood flowing out of Sasuke's empty eye socket. The warm spring rain fell, washing away the blood into the flowing river that still seemed writhe from the energy around it. 'My god' Kakashi thought as he stood atop the valley wall, looking over the carnage.
"I can not let it end like this. There's only one option then, to save the kid I must break a rule set by Shinigami. Kit, no Naruto, I'm afraid this is goodbye, in order to save you I will impart to you a gift and a curse, salvation and destruction at the cost of my soul you will live again, but do not worry, you will never be alone." Kyuubi said as his presence faded. "You are lucky you have good friends, I'm sure they will accept the change."
Sasuke stood then rushed to Naruto and flipped him over as he tried to pry his eye out of Naruto's hand, his fatigued body barely managed to open his hand before his strength left him. As his body slammed into the wet rock he stared at Naruto's empty hand, 'He must've put the eye in his mouth and ate it as he fell.' Sasuke thought as black began to gather in the corners of his vision. Right before he lost consciousness he saw Kakashi land.
Kakashi straightened his body as he walked to his fallen students. Using his glove he wiped a tear on his right eye off as he crouched near Naruto, 'There goes the last remnant of sensei, I really am alone now.' Kakashi thought as he took out a Kunai and cut the spiral ornament off the sweater. Removing a scroll from his vest he slid it open until he found an empty circle, placing the emblem on it he did a hand sign and channeled his Chakra sealing it away as the name 'Naruto Uzumaki' appeared under it. He quickly rolled it back up and placed it back in his vest, going to the other side he pulled out a larger scroll, 'Sorry Naruto, no one is around to help me so I must seal your body in this bounty scroll, you deserve better than sharing storage with criminals. No one has managed to seal a full living body before, they always die during the sealing. I must get Sasuke back so he can be put on trial, if they don't decide a just sentence I will publicly execute him in your name.' Kakashi said in his head as he sealed Naruto's body.
-Hokage's office-
Tsunade sat with her body slumped over her desk as Shizune walked in, "Hmm, what's wrong Tsunade-san?"
"I won." Tsunade said as she placed a lottery ticket on the desk.
"T-That's a mega millions you haven't won that since... oh no!" Shizune said as she walked around the desk and embraced her old teacher. "It's okay he's too stubborn to die, the pattern.. has.. b-brok.." Shizune tried to say something through her tears but could only tighten her grip on her sensei and weep into her shoulder as Tsunade did the same.
-Gate-
Shikamaru was sitting on a bench near the gate he and the others left through hours ago with a brace around his finger as he watched his clouds disappear into the storm, 'This is going to be troublesome.' He thought as he watched the road as a light haired Jonin dropped out of a tree with a dark haired teen draped unceremoniously over his back. He walked through the gate as a squad of Anbu appeared.
"Take the traitor to the ANBU hospital, I have to report in to the Hokage immediately then I'll meet you there." Kakashi said as a cat masked ANBU took Sasuke off his back before disappearing in a swirl of petals. Kakashi looked over and saw Shikamaru on a bench, "Hey, can you gather everyone at the hospital?"
"Yeah, Chouji and Neji are sharing a room but Kiba and Lee are on separate floors. Though from what I hear Kiba is just going to stay overnight so he should be able to come to the room. Lee is sedated so they can fix his ACL but he should be brought to that room." Shikamaru said as he stood and put his hand in his pocket. Turning towards the Clan District he began walking towards it but stopped and turned, "I take it Naruto didn't... nevermind I'd rather find out when the others do." Shikamaru turned and continued as he pulled off his Chunin flak jacket.
"Time to get going, no doubt she's already found out using lottery." Kakashi said as he disappeared in a plume of smoke.
-Hokage's Office-
Kakashi knocked on the door after unsealing Naruto's body, he heard shuffling inside followed by a breaking sound before Shizune opened the door with tear stains on her face and clothes. She looked at the boy in his arms before letting him in. He had taken a step inside when he felt hands seize his student away from him before paper went flying from the desk. Tsunade placed Naruto onto the desk as she unzipped his jacket(A.N. Why do people call it a jumpsuit? It isn't a one-piece) as she looked at his wound. "These wounds were made by the Chidori, the Chakra used was tainted." Tsunade gently removed the necklace and as she looked at it, it slowly began turning black. Trying to restrain her tears she handed it to Shizune.
As Shizune held it a little bit of color seeped into it, holding it up so the light shone through it illuminating her she gave a small nod before pulling out a small jewellery box and placed it inside, "I know who this should go to." Shizune said as she wiped away her tears, she walked to Tsunade and pulled her to her feet. "Come on, Naruto wouldn't want us crying for him. He'd tell us to keep on fighting and never give up."
"Yeah, there is something that must be done before I should weep. Kakashi, where's the traitor Uchiha?" Tsunade asked as she rose to her feet as an aura appeared around her.
"I gave him to the ANBU to take to the top secret hospital, even the Council can't reach him there." Kakashi said as he pulled out his old ANBU mask, "Though if for some reason the Council finds a way to remove the charges I will personally kill him. Either way Squad 7 is done, Tsunade I'd recommend taking Sakura Haruno as an apprentice."
"I can see where you're coming from, however I believe it is time I give Shizune the final part of Medical-Ninja training." Tsunade said as she looked at Shizune, "Oh and Kakashi, until I place you back to your position when you left ANBU you must call me Hokage."
"Sorry once I pulled this mask out I went into GRAND-MASTER mode." Kakashi said. "So you think it's time for Shizune to have her own student?"
"Yes, before they can become a master Medical-Ninja they have to take in an apprentice and teach them until they can perform level 2 techniques." Tsunade said as she observed Shizune who was deep in thought. "Shizune excels at level 2, making and counteracting poisons, all she has to do is teach Sakura and soon she will be licensed as a master, and once Sakura learns that I'll teach her level 3, augmenting physical strength using pure Chakra."
"In that case, put Ino Yamanaka under Shizune, Yamanaka are known for making poisons."
"I will not let you down Tsunade, I will take Ino under my wing." Shizune said as everyone walked to the door.
"First things first, take Naruto to the Hospital. Then we'll wrest power from the Civilian Council, then we let Anko and Ibiki have a go at the traitor before sentencing him."
"Actually a Yamanaka is examining him while he is being treated I should be getting the results soon." Kakashi said as a blank masked ANBU appeared with a messenger bag, before reaching in and putting a scroll on the ground. With a nod he vanished.
-An Hour later-
"What's so important that you'd summon us in this storm!" A light red, almost pink, haired man said.
"We have apprehended a traitor who is being held by ANBU, also during an investigation we determined the cause of the plummeting budget." Tsunade said as she pulled out a clipboard. "Bando Haruno, you used two percent of our defense budget to buy your house. The house is now seized and your daughter is being moved to the Kunoichi Dormitory, and you are stripped of your position on this Council!" Tsunade said as ANBU appeared and dragged the swearing man out. "Danzo, as the so called 'Last-Loyal' Uchiha is no longer loyal you have no place on this Council."
"I beg to differ," Danzo started, "Sasuke Uchiha was given an order to infiltrate Orochimaru's Hideout by me. Here is the document." Danzo pulled out his own note pad, "With the Daimyo's seal." It was then that a man came out of the shadows in the red, armored cloak of GRAND-MASTER ANBU. His black mask had a blood red pattern like the Dolphin mask.
"I hold the position of both the Daimyo and Hokage's most trusted ANBU operative, thus he has given me the authority to view that document and if need be, nullify his approval." The GRAND-MASTER said as he extended his hand. Danzo reluctantly handed the document over. "First off, there are traces of Genjutsu on this paper, also the Daimyo's seal isn't right, during the month dated he uses the Kanji for love not fire." The man said as he pulled out his own signed document, "So this paper is no longer in effect, I place you under arrest for this treachery." ANBU appeared on all sides of him. "Oh and the real last loyal Uchiha was banished for commitment to his duty so neither are a member of our current roster."
Tsunade smirked as Danzo was dragged out, 'Now the Council has lost the two biggest decision makers, the Clans all support me and even Naruto... now is not the time to begin crying.' "There's a chance your predecessor might return to his post, if he does would you step down?"
"Yeah I would, being a leader isn't up my alley." GRAND-MASTER said.
-Morgue-
Two workers shut a locker door that read 'Naruto Uzumaki' before shutting off the lights as they left for lunch. Once they closed the two heavy doors they shunshined away. A soft sound could be heard coming from the lockers, slowly it began to increase in volume and intensity until it became a pounding of metal sound. Soon a breaking sound resounded throughout the room as a slab exploded through the iron door. On it was a boy who sat up and held his hands near his wound. Shifting his weight he tried to get off the cold metal but he slipped off and hit the cold tiles. Dazed he tilted his head and saw a stream of light. Using his arms he crawled towards the source of light from beyond the doors. Stopping in the middle of the room he looked around as he tried to climb to his feet. He had managed to a crouch when his legs gave out. As he lay against the floor he could feel his body slowly begin to regain strength, rolling his hands into fists he began to stand. He slowly rose on his shaking legs. Gritting his teeth he forced his legs to straighten and took a step forward before stumbling into a table.
Using the table as a brace he began moving towards a pile of clothes, he noticed that with each step he took his legs felt less heavy. Moving his arms away he stepped away from the table as he swayed to the side a little. 'I'm getting there.' He thought as he grabbed the Shinobi Uniform off the table and slowly put it on. At first it hung off his body but he felt his body grow into it. 'Time to go!'
-Hospital Room-
The remnants of the Konoha Twelve were gathering in the room of their three comrades.
Kiba was propped against a wall with bandages across his bare chest, as well as a strip of gauze going across his head. Next to him was Shino who had been sparring with his father, he had his dirty jacket unzipped. Near Neji's bed sat Hinata, she was wearing a nurse outfit because Neji had asked her to wear one if he ever got hospitalized when they were kids.
Ino ruffled Chouji's hair, she was still wearing her work apron and had a few dirt stains on her face. Shikamaru sat near the window watching the storm outside deep in thought, he had placed his flak jacket on the back of his seat.
Tenten was examining a photo of Neji's wound trying to determine what kind of weapon was used, she knew it was some form of arrow but no one made arrows like this for combat. Next she turned to Lee who was in hospital clothing, she sighed in relief that he wasn't in that green monstrosity him and their sensei wore.
Sakura was the last to arrive, she walked in to find everyone like this. "Hey sorry I'm late. Did I miss anything?"
"Only a few things, once Kiba saw Hinata in a nurse outfit he tried to hit on her though you can't blame him I mean look at her, Hinata as a nurse would cause even a straight girl to become lesbian." Ino said, "The first to arrive was Tenten, Hinata and I walked in to find her trying to unzip Neji's pants."
"Really? Tenten!" Sakura said.
"My mom always told me that nothing is better than sucking on your loved one in a hospital room." Tenten said with a blush.
"Wow your mom's a whore." Kiba said as a sword was embedded into the wall two inches below his crotch.
"There was a flea." Tenten said with a smile.
"Please don't damage the walls Tenten." Tsunade said as she walked in.
-Naruto-
Naruto walked into the lobby of the hospital to see a receptionist staring at him, "Have you seen a ghost?"
"N-Naruto? I thought your name was on the KIA register!" The blond woman yelled before falling backwards unconscious.
'Naruto? That's right, my name is Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki.' Naruto thought as he walked towards the door.
-Tsunade-
The room was silent, everyone had just heard the news of Naruto's death and Sasuke's incarceration. Fortunately Hinata was sitting before Tsunade arrived, because she had fainted after hearing about Naruto. Sakura wasn't faring much better, she had quickly dropped to her knees with her head hanging off the back of her neck with her eyes opened unnaturally wide. Tenten hung her head as she tried to hold back her tears. Despite Lee's sedation traces of moisture could be seen around his eye. Neji had woken at hearing the news and was currently trying to reach out to Hinata's form, something Shino did for him as he moved her chair closer to his bed. Kiba was trying desperately to keep from having his legs go out on him. Fortunately Tenten decided to retrieve her sword. Ino had taken it upon herself to comfort Sakura and tried rubbing her back. Chouji was looking at his best friend who had asked for one of their Sensei's cigarettes before arriving. Shikamaru was resting on the window sill rolling the cancer cause in his hand. He flicked it away into the storm and turned around.
"Naruto wouldn't want us like this, he'd be yelling at us to push ourselves harder until we're just as awesome a Shinobi as him, be-belie- I ain't saying that. Mourn him now if you must, but you are staining his memory." Shikamaru said.
"Hokage-sama!" Tsunade turned as a doctor opened the door loudly causing Hinata to stir. "Akio said she saw Uzumaki walk out of the stairwell, also Itsuki and Youhei found Naruto's storage locker busted open from the inside and a set of clothing has gone missing!"
"What!" Tsunade yelled as she turned, "everyone I want you to find Naruto Uzumaki and apprehend him."
"Hai, Hokage-sama!" Hinata said as she vanished into a blur.
-Naruto-
Naruto was walking down the street noticing some of the glares from villagers, "What the fuck are you looking at you old hag?" Naruto stopped and stared at an elderly woman with her broom in hand.
"You hear that? The little demon is finally showing his true colors" A red haired man said as he brought a small mob. "This works, I've been booted from the council so I'll take it out on you."
"I'm not having a good day, leave now and you'll live to see your whore of a daughter again." 'How did I know he has a daughter?' Naruto thought as he felt his mouth move naturally.
"Not on her life!" Bando said as he charged at Naruto, Naruto ducked under his punch and swung his fist into Bando's chest feeling his ribs crack, splinter and numerous organs rupture. Bando coughed up blood as he fell to his knees. He scowled as he fell to the side, looking up he saw Naruto raise his foot above his head and stomp down, tendrils ripped through the clothing and began breaking down Bando's corpse. Soon all that was left of Bando was a puddle of blood and his memories in Naruto's head. He heard a sound behind him, he turned around to find himself being embraced by something blue.
I think this is the longest chapter I've ever written, anyway I hope you like this redone version of Naruto: Konoha's Prototype
