Hey guys, this is Naruto no Uzumaku Suna. or Naruto of The Swirling Sands, and this is my first fic. I love the idea of naruto controlling sand, be it the iron sand, gold sand, sand sand, or someone's unique idea like crystal release sand. The thing is, there aren't too many stories like that so i'm making my own. This story will be mostly AU and not much cannon will be present, i never liked the cannon and thought it could be better, so i'm making my own. Without further ado, this is chapter 1 of: Naruto no Uzumaku Suna. ( I don't speak japanese, so this chapter will be the only time you see japanese jutsu names, cause i'm lazy and prefer the english styles anyways)
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN NARUTO, ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO MASASHI KISHIMOTO
Chapter 1: The Different Beginning
Minato sighed looking down at the body of his deceased wife, Kushina Uzumaki. Kushina was giving birth to their son, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, when this masked man appeared from thin air, similar to his own technique the Hiraishin, but no flash. He held Naruto hostage until Minato gave up Kushina's weakened form, and barely got away from the explosive tags attached to said hostage. After securing Naruto, Minato rushed to Kushina, but it was too late, the Ichibi ripped from her body, was already attacking the village. In a vain attempt to stop it, he attacked the masked man, thinking it would disappear when he was defeated. Well, something did disappear, the Masked Man himself was nowhere to be found, and Minato realized what he must do to save his village. With a heavy heart, Minato picked up Naruto and rushed to battle, summoning Gamabunta the Boss Toad, and Using the Shiki Fuin, he sealed the ichibi within his own son. As the Shinigami ripped his soul out, Minato saw the arrival of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his last living student, Kakashi Hatake. He whispered, but it was still heard," Kakashi, take him in, and protect him, protect him with your everything, he is the hero of this village, and shouldn't have to live alone. I know these villagers will not approve of what i did, but it was the last resort. Hiruzen, DO NOT release his status to the public, i fear what their response would be." With those words, Minato Namikaze, The Fourth Hokage of Konoha, and The Yellow Flash, died smiling, with a loving look to his son, a legend in the making, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.
5 Years Later~
" Haha, catch me if you can !" a small child yelled. This child had spiky sandy blond hair, close to light brown, and warm chocolate eyes, he was about 3'2, standing a little shorter than average, but not too noticeable. He was wearing black shorts, black sandals, and a forest green t-shirt. He was Naruto Hatake, little brother of Ex ANBU Captain Kakashi Hatake, who was currently chasing said child in a park near their apartment. Naruto was running from his big brother in a serious game of extreme tag, which involved cardboard shuriken and kunai, and running for your "life". During this round Kakashi was the Hunter, and Naruto was the Escapee. Naruto ran as fast as his little legs could carry him, Kakashi lightly jogging after him. A sudden scream distracted Kakashi from Naruto, who took that opportunity to hide in a nearby forest under a bush. Seeing the scream came from a little girl who tripped, Kakashi turned to find naruto, but was shocked that the runt was gone, he ran down the pah, missing Naruto's hiding spot completely. Laughing to himself that he fooled his big brother, Naruto swiftly turned around when he heard a growl, seeing a snarling dog bigger than himself. Naruto trying to back up whispered panically," Good doggie, nice doggie, doesn't want to eat me doggie." The dog stalked forward with a deadly look in its eyes, and suddenly lunged at Naruto when a large portion of a nearby sand box crashed into its face. Naruto screamed when it lunged, alerting Kakashi of his location. Rushing over, he saw his little brother hyperventilating on the ground and a knocked out dog covered in sand. Confused, he asked,:" Naruto, what did you do?" Naruto jumped up hearing Kakashi's voice, and leaping into his arms crying he told him what happened," … And then it jumped at me! But out of nowhere, a big pile of sand smashed into it! Did you do that?" Kakashi, realizing what had happened, told Naruto," No, but we need to get to the Hokage's Office right now."
The Hokage's Office~
"Lord Hokage I've got some bad news, it finally happened." Kakashi said gravely. Hiruzen was shocked, and spoke quickly," Are you sure, and is he ready for THAT truth?" Kakashi quickly replied," Yes, i saw the results, and i'm positive that he's ready, he's a mature kid." Hiruzen sighed, and walked over to the paintings of the Hokage's on the wall. Biting his thumb, he smeared his blood across the bottom of the First Hokage's portrait, and obtained a scroll. Repeating this process for the Second, Himself, and Fourth Hokage's pictures, he had five scrolls, getting two from the Fourths. Sitting back down at his desk, Hiruzen set the five scrolls on the table, and prepared himself for the hatred of Naruto for the rest of his life." Naruto, what i'm about to tell you requires no interruptions, and is an S-Ranked secret, do not tell anyone this, or you could face death, alright." "Yes Jiji" was his response. Chewing on the end of his pipe, Hiruzen began," When the village was founded, Hashirama, The First, was looking for allies, and married the daughter of the leader of another country, Uzu, to gain said countries friendship. This marriage resulted in two children, one died without an heir, while the other had a daughter named Tsunade, she later became my student, along with Jiraiya and Orochimaru. One night, after Tsunade's lover, Dan Kato, died, she was extremely drunk, and my student Jiraiya went to comfort her. As a result he was drunk too, and that night the child Minato was made. Not wanting an attachment to konoha, Tsunade put him up for adoption without telling Jiraiya she was even pregnant. She gave him the name Minato Namikaze and left him. Minato grew up and swiftly became the best ninja in the village, and as a result, became the Fourth Minato was a genin, he fell in love with a girl named Kushina Uzumaki, who was a transfer ninja, after her village was destroyed. When he became a jonin, he finally asked her out and they got married in secret about a year later. One month after marriage, Kushina got pregnant, and nine months later, she gave birth. During the process a masked man got into the hospital room and used the baby as a hostage to get to Kushina, because sealed within her was the Ichibi no Shukaku. The masked man ripped the Ichibi out of Kushina, causing her to die in the process, and unleashed the demon upon the village. As Hokage, Minato knew he had to stop it, so grabbing his newborn son, he faced off against the demon with the help of Gamabunta the Boss Toad. Using the Shiki Fuin, he sealed the demon into his son at the cost of his life. Now Naruto, what day were you born?" " I was born on the day of … he sealed it into me, didn't he, Jiji?" " Yes my boy, you are the hero of the village, although nobody knows, as it was Minato's last wish. These scrolls are your birthright, along with a scroll from me as an apology for never telling you. I understand if you now hate me, but that's ok, as long as you still believe in the Will of Fire" " Jiji, i don't blame you for not telling me, i mean, even now it's a lot to take in, I couldn't hate you for fulfilling a dying mans wish, so it's okay, but i'm related to the First, Second, and Fourth Hokage's?" "Yes, the First and Second being your great great grandfather and granduncle respectively, and the Fourth was your father, and honestly i'm surprised you're taking it so well." "well there was never anybody but you and Kakashi so it's not like i'm missing something i ever had, but i'm still shocked." Kakashi took this opportunity to step in, because he felt unimportant(and everybody loves Kakashi)" So what's in the scrolls then?" " I'm glad you asked, it's every technique each of us knows, although i'll be restricting some of them for now, the First's contains his Wood and Earth release techniques, The Seconds contains his sealing notes and Water techniques, and the Fourths contains his sealing notes, the Rasengan, the Hiraishin, and Kushina's Lightning techniques ( yes i'm giving her a lightning affinity, it's so naruto can have all elements. Don't worry, he's going to focus on Earth, Water, Wood, and a little bit of wind, and one or two fire techniques, he will be giving the lightning style scroll to kakashi as a gift)" "What about your scroll Jiji?" " Well, that scroll is a two part scroll, the first is the scroll itself containing my Earth, Fire, and Wind techniques, along with my bojutsu style, the first and the seconds taijutsu, and my notes on jutsu creation. The second part is this"
SUMMONING JUTSU
"Yo Sarutobi, whatcha need?" " Hello Sarukipa, i need the summoning scroll for young Naruto their." " Youre gonna let this shrimp sign with us!? But he's so tiny!" " Yes he may be small, but it's in his genes to hit a growth spirt in his teens, he should be about 6' by age 19" " I guess he can sign, here kid, bite your thumb, sign your name, and put a palm print on it. Boom your done, now give it so i can you old Monkey." POOF and with that, he was gone, and Naruto had a summoning contract." Naruto, i want you to be the champion of the Will of Fire, and to always use your power to protect the village. In light of this, instead of the academy, Kakashi will personally train you with the help of these scrolls for the next 8 years, you will still graduate with people your age, but you will be considered dead last, is that alright?" " If it means i'll be stronger to defend the village, I'll do it for you Jiji" Naruto shouted cheerfully" Alright, go get started, for now i have to do battle with my greatest foe, PAPERWORK!" "Isn't there some awesome jutsu that you could use to clone yourself to do it instead Jiji?" SMASH, their was now a new window in the wall of the office, and while crying tears of MANLY PASSIONATE YOUTH, he said to Naruto," I'll be over in the afternoon to train you daily" "REALLY, THANKS JIJI!" Little did he know, he was in for one hell of an eight years.
Thank you guys for reading the first chapter of Naruto no Uzumaku Suna, please leave a review, this is my first fic so all reviews are appreciated, i just want to improve as a writer for you guys, and reviews really help with that. This is not going to be a God-Like Naruto, he will just be about chunin level at graduation, and a high chunin low jonin after the chunin exams, you'll see, it'll be understandable. If you can't tell, their will be a lot of dialogue without names inserted, so it will be confusing at points, but people personalities should tell you who's talking. Also, Naruto will have the full name Naruto Uzumaki Hatake Senju, no Namikaze, that was a fake name Tsunade used, and his name will be just Naruto Hatake until he is a chunin. That's all, later.
