This is just a little thing I had going in my head for a while, hope you like it.
And don't worry, my other stories, including 9 Tailed Guardian are going to be continued, I just don't have the attention span to be able to finish them in time for when I want them to be done.
Also, rant time, I hate how many stories out there are either, Naruto gets abandoned by his mother (Kushina) or where the Kyuubi gets released and Naruto is now ultimately strong because of it. End rant.
Plus. In this fic there will be NO akatsuki. So no Madara or anything. In this he died at the Valley of the End against the 1st Hokage. Don't worry though, I have something planned for later. Which also means that Yagura
Naruto stood opposite his opponent, getting ready to strike. However his feelings get in the way of the final strike, as he can't remove the images of all the good times he spent with his best and closest friend. Staring at the bloodied form of the one he is supposed to strike down, Naruto looks at his katana for a brief moment before looking at the fallen student. The katana that he trained with, that he worships everyday. Because his katana was the first thing that his mother trained him with.
Said mother stood off to the sidelines with a worried look. She knew that her son would win, that he would survive. Her pride and love for Naruto forbade anyone from telling her otherwise. But watching her 7 year old child lose his childhood innocence in such a bloody way forced her to hold back her tears. For this was the bloody mist exam, a cruel exam forcing the closest of friends to do battle to the death, in order to graduate. But to her, living in the violence of Kiri was better than the alternative. Because escaping from the prison that was Konoha, where she was held as a hostage, and living that life was a fate worse than death for her.
Mei Terumi never really recalled why she was taken prisoner by the leaf, but being forced to be the baby maker for the 4th Hokage and his barren wife was hell for her. Knowing that her child would be taken away and she would never get to hold him. Then came the Iwa sanctioned murder of Kushina Uzumaki, and the release of the Kyuubi into the world once more. And the final straw for Mei. Who took her day old baby from the ruins of Konoha, and fled for her homeland like the hounds of hell were on her. And from that day forth she poured as much love as she could onto her son.
Looking at her child she saw him steel his resolve, and plunge the katana into his friend's heart, killing him. What happened next was something she feared would happen. A red cloak of chakra poured over his body as Naruto succumbed to the bloodlust of the Kyuubi sealed inside of him.
Naruto himself was feeling a vast array of emotions. Disgust and shame being two of them, yet the feeling of ending someone's life took him over, and he felt that the kill was not enough, and that he should have more. What took place on that field was the last straw for the bloody mist, and after the events that followed the exam was finally stopped. Because Naruto went on a rampage. Eviscerating and effectively annihilating every last student there. Until finally the cloak dissipated and Naruto was lying on the grass, surrounded by 73 of his classmates corpses.
3 days later
Naruto Terumi was a short child, with red hair like his mother (not to mention starting to develop her quirks and personality) and 3 whisker marks adorning each cheek. Each part of his face was being scrupulously studied by his mother who was sitting next to his bed, all the while stroking his hair to calm him down. Because it tore her heart open to witness her reason to live stare at her with an expression of shame and anguish over his actions during the exams. Thinking to herself as she watched her sleeping child she thought back to what Yagura, the Mizukage said to her at the end of the exam. About how he wishes to take him on as an apprentice himself, in order to learn to wield his Bijuu, and how to be a master Kiri Nin. Mei had already accepted, not wanting what had happened to happen again to her son. But it was to whom his Jounin sensei was that she had the most worry.
The Slasher was what the Shinobi of the Mist were starting to call her son. Seeing as how he slashed most of the students in to two pieces, and grudging respect was shown to the now genin of Kiri. Zabuza Momochi was most impressed with what happened, seeing as how it was practically a mirror of his own actions, and Mei flinched a bit at thinking that the legendary Demon of the Hidden Mist respected her son. For she knew full well the kind of people who he respected most were.
"Kaa-san?" came a weary voice from next to Mei/
"Yes Naruto-kun?"
"Was it… wrong that it felt good to do what I did?"
Mei had no answer to what Naruto said to her. She herself knew that she was a violent woman herself, although she would never hurt her son, not even in training where they sparred. And she too felt satisfaction from some kills, but hearing Naruto say the same brought a kind of closer kinship. Knowing that he was more like her than the Namikaze.
"Sometimes Naruto, it can be fun to fight and kill. I enjoy fighting much more than most, and it seems as though you my have picked up some of my, um, more violent tendencies."
"Well that's great kaa-san!" exclaimed Naruto. At least I don't take after that Bastard eh? Im more proud to be like you!"
"Hmm, is that so" said Mei with a smile. "Well I feel more proud that you take after me too. Because remember the one thing that's the best. That us Terumi's are the most badass shinobi's ever" and to emphasise her point Mei shoved her fist in the air. To which Naruto let out a laugh of agreement.
Naruto rose from his bed and hugged his mother, then followed her out of the room and then out of their apartment and into the village centre. On the way to the administration building in order for Naruto to get signed on as a shinobi of Kiri, the duo noticed looks of fear and respect from the people. Something that Mei smirked at, seeing that her son was making such a big impression on all these people.
Stepping into the building where Naruto was to gain his sensei. "Naruto Terumi eh?" came a voice to the side. Mei winced as she saw the man.
"Yes sir" spoke Naruto.
"Good. Im going to be your Jounin sensei from now until I deem you strong enough to worthy of being a true shinobi. Im aware that once a week Mizukage-sama will be taking you for training your Bijuu every now and then but I will be your permanent sensei. I've never thought of taking a genin student before now, but you captured my interest. With myself, the Mizukage and the occasional training from your mother in family styles and your bloodline I think we've got the next Kage on our hands." All of this was said with a wide shark toothed grin.
And it was from this day forth that Kisame Hoshigaki took on a student who would become a legend.
Yup. Powerful Naruto incoming. Dual bloodline. Bijuu training. And finally the student of (who I personally think) the most badass, insanely awesome character in Naruto. I mean come on. Chakra levels of a Bijuu. Frightening aura. Skill that comes in spades. And don't forget the huge ass sword capable of destroying Jinchuuriki with one swipe. (One of the best lines in Naruto "Samehada doesn't cut. It SHAVES!) So yes, eventually Naruto will become one of the Seven Swordsmen. But not in a way you're probably thinking.
Til next time.
