Half-Siblings [Uchiha Fanfiction] Prologue
Warning: Slight Spoilers
Please read the note at the end; thanks.
With a firm knock on the door, the authoritative voice calmly yelled, "Come in!"
The mahogany door slid open: and the people went into the Hokage room, where the current Hokage sat. Hiruzen Sarutobi; the Third Hokage of Konohagakure; given the name the God of Shinobi being the strongest Hokage in the history of Konoha, and of the five Kage of his generation for the matter.
"Report." A man with silver gravity-defying hair drawled airily; flipping out his book, Icha Icha Paradise written by the Gama Sennin (Toad Sage): Jiraiya Myōboku. "Team Seven: D-Rank; Capture Tora; Mission completed at 1000 hours." His eyes lazily rolled over the pages of the book, seeming to ignore the slight chakra spike and killer intent.
"Ohh Tora!" The shrill voice of Daimyō's wife called out, grabbing out to reach her cat. She had not taken notice of the flinching of three people while she snuggled Tora.
And so a soft sincere and refined voice had interrupted, "Umm, Daimyō's wife-sama... Maybe if you were to pet Tora, he might not run away too much..." As to prove his point, he showed the Daimyō's wife where to scratch Tora (right behind the ear, making her purr lightly). "And if... if you were to stop hugging him so tightly, and carry h-him constantly...a-and fed his portions properly - maybe taking him on a walk or two each day outside: would stop him from running away as well."
As much as possible, the Hokage tried to hide his laughter and the amusement in his eyes; making the shy, bright blonde (maybe even bright enough to rival the sun) blush in embarrassment; shying away, and trying to hide behind his silver-haired sensei.
After some hesitation, the Daimyō's wife did as he said. She stopped hugging her cat, too tightly and carried her. And slowly, started rubbing behind her ears, making Tora (the chubby brownish orange haired car with a bright red bow) purr in delight at finally being treated properly.
"Ohh! She's never done this before!" The Daimyo's wife screeched, never taking notice of the people who flinched from her shrill voice.
"And... the cat, like all animals have very sensitive ears... so may-maybe is you could just lower your volume a bit? It would be nice for Tora, so he wouldn't have the possibility of dying soon..." he lightly reprimanded, yet trailed off lowering his head; profoundly blushing at all the glances he was receiving from his teammates. Without a doubt, if he were to raise his head, he would see them gaping at him. He was already going deep into detail about why the cat was running away as it was; (fed too much, and barely enough exercise; which at least in this condition would let him live for at least another year. Two, if they were lucky. Squeezed a lot; hurting his lungs, depriving him of air. And counting the fact that the cat, was, in fact, a male and not a female) the cat: Tora was pissed. And told the shy, bright-haired blonde boy: Naruto, what was wrong. And Naruto being him, told the Daimyō's wife what was needed to do.
She nodded and once again scratched the cat behind the ear, causing him to purr, and her, softly giggle in delight. "So," she continued softly," if I were to do all of this, Tora would stop running away?"
He nodded and flashed one of his biggest smiles ever making the wife, smile. "Thank you young genin; What's your name, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Naruto Uzumaki, Dattebayo!" He laughed and once again flashed the biggest smile he could muster.
She nodded at him and took out a medium sized bag of money, (two - maybe even three if you were to look closer, times more than the original amount) and gave it the Hokage, before leaving; thanking him once again. "It should be enough," she said as she had left, carrying her cat, Tora who was purring in her arms, content.
Once again, the whole room -even the several ANBU conveniently placed in the shadows of the room, gaped at the bright blonde Uzumaki, wondering how he did it.
"I didn't even get to tell her that Tora was a boy" he murmured, yet the whole room still heard him.
"Naruto-Kun, do you know what you have just done?" The Hokage had asked; shocked, as he sorted out the yen.
Naruto shyly shook his head and looked to the ground, trying, but unsuccessfully hiding behind his sensei.
"N-no Oji-san." Everyone else's in the room sweatdropped, yet cooed (save two) at the blonde's shyness
"NARUTO!" The only female teammate in Team Seven; had screeched at the boy; making him flinch, "How DARE YOU, show NO RESPECT, towards the HOKAGE!" And continued to hit the boy on the head making him fall, and cower in the corner, scared.
"Enough." The Hokage or formally known to Naruto as 'Oji-san' refrained from yelling at the girl, his killer intent spiked; making her fall onto the floor, shaking and the last teammate, flinch, though it didn't stop his legs from shaking constantly, and eyes showing fear.
'It's just like that night!' The boy thought, wanting to fall on the floor too, but his pride as an Uchiha stopping him from doing so.
"Anyone, and whoever hurts my surrogate grandchild is as good as gone." Hiruzen cautioned, his own killer intent, as well as the sensei of team seven and three other people, spiked viciously. They glared at the only female member; thus making her pass out, and the Uchiha fall.
"Oji- San, it is quite alright. You too, Kaka-Nii, Snake-sama, Tenzō-sama, Owl-sama. I'm alright, see?"
The killer intent slowly fell, but everyone still glared at the unconscious girl.
"Dobe needs protection? Tch, no wonder you're dead last." The Uchiha snarked at the boy.
Although no killer intent was released, the five people mentioned before harshly glared at the boy. Not caring he was Sasuke Uchiha, the sole survivor of the Uchiha Massacre. But that's what he thinks after all, with an ego about the size of Konoha, he claims he should be respected once away, and his arrogance and revenge failing him to see the light. Of course, only the civilian council spurred him on. Sasuke shuddered slightly.
"Alright." Hiruzen nodded, "Kakashi, take Sakura and Sasuke home, I need to talk to Naruto for a bit. I'll give the mission money tomorrow."
The Jōnin Sensei, nodded and picked up the unconscious Sakura, and not so roughly pushed Sasuke out the door, with ease; ignoring his resistance to move.
Once out the door, Hiruzen quickly got up and headed towards Naruto. "How are you?" He asked quietly as to not startle the boy.
"I'll be fine Oji-san, al'ight?" He asked and looked up to where he believed the Hokage was standing.
He sighed before going to his desk and taking out a hidden compartment, full of scrolls, and two perfectly wrapped presents. They were worn and dusty. "These are for you.." he started out slowly, hesitant to continue, "From your parents."
It was quiet for a while, and Hiruzen started to worry.
"Ot-otou-san, Okaa-san?" He stuttered.
"Yes" he nodded grimly, "They had left these for you and they wanted to be given to you several weeks after you've been a genin. Okay, Naruto?"
"Hai! Hai!" He giggled excited, a smile so bright, it made the ANBU and the Hokage coo at the boy's innocence. "What is is Oji-chan!?"
"Kakashi-sensei?" The raven-haired boy asked his sensei, his curiosity getting the better of him, "What's the relationship with the Hokage and Naruto?"
Kakashi looked at his student, his mask slightly going upwards; indicating he was smiling, "Why don't you figure it out yourself, yeah, Sasuke?"
The former only grunted, "Hn." And then left towards the Hokage office, missing the sigh of annoyance from his teacher, who trudged to his other student's home, trying to find an excuse to use for the reason she was unconscious.
"NA-NANI!" He shouted, shocked, and frustrated. In all of his life, the thought of being an Uchiha (Uchiha!? What?) never came to mind.
The old man repented the boy, his knowledge of Naruto hating the boy, (especially the Uchiha clan) went far greater than the hatred of the village.
Though as shocked as he was, it had explained a whole lot. "It...it all makes sense now!" His eyes although bland, and emotionless, his facial features showed happiness.
Hiruzen raised an eyebrow in surprise. "What makes sense Naruto-Kun?" His question was the same question as the boy listening to the conversation outside the room.
Instead of talking the blonde boy moved his hands into a sign, "Kai.." Before Hiruzen could talk about what he was talking about, his features changed, releasing the genjutsu placed. The bright blonde hair was now accompanied by natural black and red highlights (Hiruzen wondered how it fit Naruto so perfectly); glazed cerulean eyes tinted slightly, a lavender tint adorning them, and black freckled near the pupils. He was speechless.
"Kura said a lot of stuff had changed. Not like I can tell anyways" The boy mumbled and looked at the Hokage, his eyes glazed over, yet his body position and facial features showed indifference.
"Maa~ Maa~ Nothing to worry about Naruto-Kun. You still look handsome. Dare I even say better than you did before. You not being able to see, changes nothing about how you look."
'What?' The Raven wondered.
Naruto Uzumaki was blind. On his sixth birthday, the villagers decided to give him a 'gift'. Brutally stabbing his eyes - taking the muscle out and leaving him with bleeding, black sockets. He was left blinded by the fear of the villagers. He never knew why the villagers hated him. But when he was unconscious, he found out why. Namikaze - now Uchiha- Uzumaki Naruto: the jinchuuriki of Kurama: The Kyuubi no Kitsune.
Kurama took an immediate liking to the supposed feminine boy after several minutes. Her killing intent had no effect on him when trying to intimidation. So she laid down by the bars and comforted the boy; she helped him (along with Hiruzen) make a difference to his shinobi career. By lacking in sight, he made up for it in all his other senses. And Naruto told Hiruzen when he woke up; an understatement, saying he was baffled. He fainted. He was confused knowing that the Kyuubi no Kitsune was not as described in the books. When they met, she made the best first impression he ever saw. Kurama was nice and kind to Naruto; slightly hesitant about Hiruzen himself, but that faded when Kurama explained everything. She was completely and utterly devastated for killing the Yondaime Hokage and Kushina: she wasn't in control. She blamed it on the man who did control him: Madara Uchiha. He was in debt, as Kurama would say because she took care of the boy when no one else would. And Hiruzen (no matter how much words could express) was thankful because an 'accident' like this never happened again.
"So.." Hiruzen started, loss at words, but continued nonetheless, "you're an Uchiha..?" Though it came out more of a question.
Now it was Sasuke's turn to be shocked. 'And Uchiha? I thought Itachi killed them all?'
"And it mentions that Itachi knew too..."
Sasuke was on the verge of feeling faint but managed to gain his balance, and carefully sit outside the door.
Naruto had tears on the verge of his eyes. "So... I- I'm a..an U-Uch-" but he couldn't finish saying what he had said because he started crying waterfalls; dropping to the floor, and curled up into a ball.
"Hey… Hey..." Oji-chan soothed and shushed, rubbing his hand on Naruto's back, "I know you had a horrible past with them, but maybe Sasuke can change..."
"Bad past..?" Sasuke whispered but quickly covered his mouth.
Hiruzen had rolled his eyes at the Uchiha out the door. It was useless trying to cover Chakra when in the presence of a Kage, specifically when your a genin and chūnin. Jōnin are a bit better and ANBU are somewhat harder to detect, but Hiruzen had to complement the boy for keeping his Chakra hidden very well. No source of a Chakra spike was detected from the boy.
"No!" He screamed, crying harder, "Sasuke... He… He is just like them…..An U-Uch- a brat, who has a ten-inch pole up his ass. There's no way, no way he would be able to change. He won't accept me. He hates me 'Jiji... They all do..."
He felt remorse for the boy. So far, every Uchiha he has ever known has hated him. And had always managed to hurt the boy someway or another. Either it is their fire jutsu, shuriken, kunai, or their kekkei genkai; Naruto was hurt. "Now, now. " he started off slowly, "Itachi wasn't like that was he? Maybe Sasuke will be like him too.."
Naruto shook his head, constant tears trailing down his rubbed raw, whiskered cheekbones. "Don't you see? Sasuke hates his brother... and Itachi-Nii had to leave because of stupid Danzo… He left me… He promised he wouldn't."
The old Hokage sighed deeply. He never wanted to say this in front of Sasuke, but he really had no choice. "You know, he had to kill his clan so they wouldn't take over the village, Naruto. And unfortunately, Danzo had blackmailed Itachi."
Naruto nodded slowly, his tears lessened. He asked, "What did Danzo exactly blackmail him for?"
He had sighed, which he had realized he'd been doing for quite some time, "Sasuke Uchiha." he started. Sasuke had stiffened, up at his name, thinking he had been caught. "His little brother is what he was blackmailed for. Danzo had first started the plans. Telling Fugaku Uchiha; clan head, that they were not trusted. He hinted that they had something to do with the Kyuubi attack. After all only the Sharingan can control the Kyuubi (Though Hiruzen made sure not add the other bijuu as well.
Fugaku made plans and ordered Itachi to spy for the clan as he was ANBU Captain and had access to delicate information other than the Hokage. But, unfortunately for Fugaku, Itachi was more loyal to the village than his own clan. In a way, I guess you could call him a traitor to his clan. So, Itachi told me. I had told him to do whatever he wished, but Danzo. He hinted at the idea made the idea of becoming a spy for me as well. He became a double-agent, filling me in with the plans of the Uchiha. I tried to resolve this in a peaceful way, as it would conclude in a Civilian War. But Danzo had not allowed it. Saying that they were better off killed, leaving the least amount of bloodshed.
The other Uchiha had noticed of Itachi's strange behavior and had Shisui look after him. But Shisui had agreed with Itachi." Hiruzen had looked down at Naruto and noticed that he has stopped crying, and looking at him silently, his eyes half-lidded. He nodded to himself before continuing, "I don't personally know what had happened to Shisui, but the Uchiha had blamed Itachi for his death, and no longer trusted him. Because of Shisui, Itachi had realized this had gone way too far. So, Danzo noticing his feelings gave him two options. One, allow the coup d'état to happen and have Sasuke and himself be killed, or kill his clan, saving Sasuke. It was Danzo's plan all along. Danzo went behind the back of the whole Shinobi council and ordered one of my shinobi to do something he would never have wanted."
"And Itachi decided to save Sasuke; his little brother." Naruto mumbled before falling asleep, Hiruzen saying the line with him.
Silent tears ran down Sasuke's face. He now had known. He had known what exactly happened and realized what Naruto had meant when he said there might be more to the story. But he was still confused. He stayed there for a little while if there was anything else.
And there was.
He faintly heard Hiruzen say, "Naruto is Sasuke's half-sibling. Unbelievable."

(IMPORTANT NOTE::::::: Explaining how Naruto and Sasuke are related (besides the obvious mention of half-siblings) was weird, but then I decided not too and leave it for another chapter.
AS OF JUNE 2018::: A couple of things, so I would really appreciate if you read it (3 isn't that important tho but still)
1) I have not updated since October 2017. I know. Things have been going on in my life, and while I would use writing as a way to deal with some of my problems, what I would use to find inspiration hasn't really been inspiring. I've been in and out of the hospital since January 2018. I've managed to right now at least edit this chapter to my satisfaction.
2) You might have also noticed the edit I made about all the kinds of relationships I would have added in this story. When I first had ideas about writing this, my mind went straight to Naruto and Sasuke and Itachi. This story, what I had in mind, was specifically for those three. Not Shikamaru, not Kakashi, not even the Akatsuki. Yes, they are somehow important to the actual story. But the purpose of the story is these three: Itachi, Sasuke, Naruto, and that was it. I have many ideas for how Naruto and Sasuke interact with each other, meet Itachi along the way and other problems they might face, so yes, OoC is inevitable. And Yes, the purpose of this story is supposed to be about their family.
a)In that case, all ships are thrown out the window. I have review saying how they love the pair ShikaNaru, and I agree. And so I thought to just put it in there. But it is hard. Putting a pair into the story, when it doesn't even fit into the plot line.
b)But also, in this case, i will write a ShikaNaru story sometime in the future. Most likely a one-shot, since I'm a fan of writing long stories, but at the same time, no I'm not.
3) Updates on all my stories will take time. Sometimes i have a chapter already prewritten, and sometimes I don't. That's how it is. I write almost all my chapters during breaks, and more during the summer. And almost all the time, they are long. And i update during classes or something. Its how it is. So once again all chapters no matter how sporadically short or super long, they won't be updated every week. I loathe schedules. If i have one i feel rushed, and that's bad for my writing.
4) I'm warning you now. Almost all of my Naruto stories will never completely follow canon. And i say this because i don't know what's gonna happen. I'm not caught up on Boruto, and I HAVE NOT even started Shippuden. I'm at the episode where Naruto and Sasuke fight on the roof of the hospital after Tsunade heals Kakashi or something. This is because i practically know the basics (at least i like to think i do). The whole season from the first episode to the newest one has been spoiled. So no, i won't watch the anime or read the manga unless i absolutely want to. I Already know what basically happens, and to me, when writing fanfic, the canon version is not really important. It's a fanfic, which means i can go as far away as the cannon as i want to. Another reason this story isn't updated much
5) I love reviews, okay. I love the idea of other people reading the stories I take pride in, and making comments about them. I really also love ideas in general. So, if you wouldn't really mind, comment y'know? It makes me happy. Even the rude comments where they would criticize a part of my writing or pollen when its probably already stated. They are mean that way y'know? But honestly, if they're rude, i just think its cute.
Anyways that's all i wanted to say and thanks for listening to my rant.
