Hello my dear readers, Sparda-kun2555 back here. Sorry I've been very busy on the road called life. I really haven't had time between work and my living quarters that I could actually write anything out. Well, I am back. Now I will try to write more on FOE, but my other story is being put up for adoption or for idea taker. I do not mind what happens to it, I actually found it hard to write on it more. Anyways here is a new story from the Naruto world.
Chapter 1: The Split mind
A single figure stood in the shadow of the roof, looking up at the sky. This figure was wearing a pitch black cloak and hood with a mask with fox markings on it. As the figure was lost in thought they felt several more figures take stances around them. Looking he saw four other people in the same outfit as him, but each with a different mask. A cat, a snake, a dog, and finally a bear.
"Dog, what's the destination point." the fox man asked.
"Two hundred meters in, the large building. Third story up and fifth door on the right." Dog replied.
"Yawn, why are we doing this with you. I mean you could probably finish this off by yourself." the snake figure complained to the fox, judging by the tone of voice it was a bored female.
"That, might be true Snake. If I don't let you guys have fun, then the Hokage will be angry at me. Example, Bear might go on a rampage or destroy another training ground. Cat might start cutting people for just being straight bored. Dog might get caught peeping at the hot springs again-"
"Hey, it's not peeping. It's researching." Dog replied. "Anyways, let's get this done. I'm getting bored."
Fox looked at the team that he had selected, and nodded. Bear, Cat and Dog leapt away rushing toward the building. Snake came over and lifted her mask enough for her lips to be seen, she gently kissed Fox's cheek. Fox stood his ground, waiting till Snake was done.
"Snake, get to work." Fox told her in a clipped tone. Snake giggled at his tone, making a mock salute before rushing off.
Fox waited until his team was in position before leaping high into the air. Landing in front of the tower, suddenly he was light up by spotlights as he heard the sounds of thudding feet. Soon he saw that he was surrounded, slowly raising his hands he waited until the commanding ninja came forward.
"Everyone, keep your eyes on him. If he tries anything funny, kill him." A jonin told the rest of the group. "Now, where is the package?"
"First, the prisoner." Fox told the jonin. The jonin nodded, a young girl was thrown forward. The jonin grabbed her by her hair and held her for Fox to see.
"Like what you see? Well we had a real fun time with her while we waited for you. I hope you enjoy second helpings." the jonin mocked Fox as he threw her to the waiting ninja.
'Oh shit, he just screwed himself royally.' thought the rest of the team as they moved into position.
"Second helpings? Why would i want leftovers, when I can have a fresh slab of meat." Fox replied. Dropping quickly, he threw a kunai into the jonin's shoulder. "NOW!" Fox ordered. Thus all hell broke loose, suddenly the spotlights failed. The enemy ninja were suprised as the lights went out. Suddenly, screams and cries of pain filled the darkened area, along with dark laughter.
Ten minutes later, the commanding jonin was crawling toward a safe in the building. Fox gently stepped over his body, crushing his hand with his boot. Stifling a cry of pain, the jonin glared at Fox.
"What do you really want? We gave you the girl already. What else could you possibly want?" the jonin cried.
Fox grabbed the safe's door and ripped the door off. Looking back, he threw the door at the jonin's chest. The door lodging in his ribs, blood slowly dripped from the crushed man.
Fox looked over his shoulder, "Cat, Bear, take the contents of the safe to HQ, make copies and seal them in the Vault. Then bring the original to the Hokage. Now if you excuse me, I have to file a report with the Hokage. Snake, i have a suprise for you when we get back. Dog, don't get caught peeping, Or I'll kill you."
The team nodded and rushed out of the battle zone, rushing to the home they all swore to protect. Kohona.
...
Sarutobi was sitting in his office cursing the one thing that he hated more in this world than anything. Paperwork. Suddenly five figures appeared in his office. Looking up from his paperwork he saw that it was his Anbu special forces.
"So Fox, how was the mission?" the old man asked the leader of the squad.
"Ehhhh, so-so. It was successful, package and files secured. It was just a lil boring, I think Snake wanted to play more." Snake made a slight giggle that sent shivers down everyone's back but Fox. "Dog got caught off guard by a stripping female." Everyone deadpanned except for Dog who just chuckled and scratched his head. "Bear destroyed a wall... and part of the building, I guess we can call it a leaning tower instead of a regular tower." Bear just huffed. "Cat was at the top of her game. In my personal recommendation, I would like her to take my place."
"WHAT?" was all the team said as their captain stood unmoving by the yelling.
"Silence." Fox said in a clipped tone. The team dropped to a quietened state. Cat finally stepped up next to Fox.
"Hokage, Captain. I accept the position of the next Captain of Anbu special forces." turning to Fox, Cat bowed deeply. " I thank-you captain for this chance."
Fox waved her off, "It's fine Cat. Anyways, Snake here." Fox tossed a box to the masked ninja.
Snake caught the box, opening it. A long, slightly slender kunia was resting in it. On the handle was a name, "McStabbington". Snake squealed like a little girl, grabbing Fox in a bone crushing hug.
"Snake, let go." Fox told the woman. The woman, let go of the man still giggling slightly like a girl with a schoolyard crush.
"Team, Dismissed." The team bowed once more before they vanished from site. Looking toward the hokage, "Are we fully alone."
Sarutobi cracked a smile, "I gave my protection detail a thirty minute break right before you showed up."
"Finally, it's stiffling under this mask." Fox replied as he pulled his mask off. Dark brown hair turning blonde, his height diminishing before the aging hokage.
"So Naruto, you ready for your real ninja training?" The hokge asked the young blonde.
"I wonder if they can keep up with me. I mean, I have been trained since i was 3, when the anbu caught me putting itching powder in their suits. Luckily, Raven-san took me under his wing and taught me everything he knew." A twelve year old Naruto replied to Sarutobi.
"I'm glad that you haven't been coruppeted by Danzo. That old war-hawk would have tried to make you an emotionless killing machine." Sarutobi informed the blonde.
"Well he can't touch me now, I'm about to become a Genin. Anyways, can I see the team formations." Naruto inquired.
"Let me know if you want to make any changes, I know you can make the most formidable teams." Sarutobi let the young boy understand.
"Hmmmm, I think that these two and this person will make a good team. These three together, and finally me and these two. This one, this one, and this one for the teachers." Naruto replied, handing the files back to Sarutobi.
"Really, if you are sure. I'll make the preperations. Anyways I'll be waiting to see what you become." the hokage replied.
"Glad that I could help, now if you don't mind I have a date with a mob of civilians on third and fall lane. It should be time for the Boar's Breath to be shutting down." Naruto informed the Hokage.
"Fine, But Naruto. No killing." the hokage replied to the whiskered blonde. The blonde looked at the Hokage and gave him a big smile "No promises Jiji." With that the blonde was off.
"That poor child, what happened all those years ago." Sarutobi sighed. Looking at the files for the teams, he stapped them and looked at the clock, showing that it was five till three in the morning. 'I guess i can leave the rest for tomorrow.' the aging hokage thought.
Boar's Breath Bar
A group of civilian were stumbling out of the bar dropping bottles and laughing. Suddenly one of the civilians saw a mop of blonde hair and whiskers on a small child walking pass.
"The demon, come on guys. Let's try and kill him." He told the others as he rushed after the blonde. The rest of the group ran after the fleeing blonde. Picking up, random objects while chasing Naruto.
Naruto ran, not fast enough to leave them behind, but fast enough to barely be caught. Finally he ran down what he knew was a dead end. Turning around he saw that he was the mob finally catch up to him.
"Come on, let's finish what the fourth started." the lead civilian told the other in arrogance and pride.
Naruto put on a show of fake terror and horror. "Why are you chasing me, I never did anything to you."
"You killed my family, my poor sister. She would have been fourteen, she was a happy girl. And you killed her, you damn demon." the civilian yelled as he swung a metal pipe at the boy.
Naruto smiled darkly as his bangs covered his eyes, "Gotcha." Naruto said.
"Huh?" the civilians said all at once, their drunken state not letting them see the wild eyes of a predator catching it's prey that came from the young boy.
Naruto grabbed the pipe and slammed it into the leader's knee cap, giggling at the sickening crunch from the impact. The rest of the mob started to back away, just as the rear of the mob started to turn and run they were met with a slit eyed Naruto.
"Why are you living? I'm just getting warmed up." Naruto said in a sadistic tone. Rushing the rest of the group.
As he hit the group, he slammed the pipe in his hand into a leg of a fat civilian. He grabbed another by his arm and swung him into another one, snapping his arm and breaking the other man's ribs. Suddenly Naruto was hit from behind. He stumbled as he turned to see who had hit him, seeing a larger civilian standing over him. The civilian had a large mallet, Naruto shivered slightly as the large man brought it over his head and slammed it down. Naruto allowed the mallet to slam into his hand. Naruto smilled as his hand crushed under the heavy wood hammer. Getting up he looked at the mallet wielder, and with his unbroken hand motioned for him to come at him.
The man grunted and swung, leaving himself wide open on the left side. Naruto grabbed a brick as he ducked the swing. Springing foward, the blonde slammed the brick into the large man's head. The cracking was satisfactory for the young child, laughing as he dropped the brick. Letting the rest of the mob break and run, the blonde looked at his fallen prey.
"What's wrong, I though you were going to finish what the fourth started?" Naruto asked the five men that were laying on the ground with broken bones and concussion. "Well, let me tell you who the real demons are, You, I am just a child and yet, you guys take it onto yourselves to try and kill me. You destroy my home, poison my food, try to kill me every time you see me. I'm trying to protect you, but noooooo. You guys just despise me, I am the jailer of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. So I'm going to tell you, the next time you try to do anything to me. I will break you, little by little. So i bid you a good night." With that the blonde turned and walked away, heading to his house where he could get a good night sleep.
As soon as the blonde entered the run-down apartment, he broke down crying. "Why did you do that, you didn't have to go that far."
"Yes I did, otherwise they would have tried to kill us again."
"Why can't you just stay away. I never wanted to hurt them."
"That's why I'm here, I'll always protect you. I promise, Naru. I'll always be here to protect you."
"What if i want to try to protect myself? Huh? What if I want the strength to do it myself?"
Silence was the only thing that answered the blonde. As he walked past a mirror in the hallway he sighed, pulling his blood-splatered clothes off as he head to the shower. The hot water turning a tinged red as he washed off. He finally crawled into bed, falling into a deep sleep.
The next morning
Naruto stretched and yawned loudly, looking at the calender as he pulled on his forehead protector and jumpsuit. Running off toward the academy, smiling all the way. He threw open the door to the classroom as the final bell rang.
Finally after years of being in this classroom he could actually get out and do real not in the shadow missons. He was now an offical ninja of Kohona. Today was the day that he would meet his team and work with them together to help them grow into a strong team.
"SASUKE!" was the howl that was pulled out of the blonde's thought as he was slammed from behind via two young girls. One pink-headed and the other blonde with a bang covering one eye. "Get outta the way Naruto-baka." the pink-headed also known as Sakura told the ko'd blonde.
"Sakura, it's not nice to hit Naruto. You ran into him, billboard." the blonde told her.
"Not if i wanted to get to Sasuke first, before you Ino-pig." Sakura retored to Ino.
" I'll always beat you, Fore-head." Ino snorted.
Naruto crawled slowly away, as a fight broke out between the two. Hoping that he would not get caught in the middle. He pulled himself up next to the brooding Uchiha, 'Really, Itachi didn't even kill his clan. It was someone way worse. That's what he told me anyways, but he wanted his brother to become stronger, so he left the village and took the burden of the slaughter on his shoulders.'
Naruto sat down next to Sasuke. Sighing, he flicked a small dust bunny off the desk. Sasuke nodded to Naruto as thanks and went back to brooding.
"Naruto-baka, get out of my seat. I'm sitting next to Sasuke-kun." Sakura told the blonde.
"Why, there are plenty of other seats." Naruto told the pinkette. True as it was, the pinkette growled and grabbed the blonde.
"I want that seat." Sakura growled at him, with a slight gleam in her eye. Sakura got an evil idea. "Hey Piggy, catch." Then she threw Naruto to Ino.
"Huh?" was all Ino could reply when she got hit by Naruto. Naruto switched behind her as they slammed into the classroom wall in the back.
"Owww. Ino-chan, are you okay?" Naruto asked, smiling gently at the blonde.
'OMG, Sakura you are dead. What is this, Naruto is so close to me. Plus he changed places with me instead of letting me hit the wall.' Ino thought to herself. "I'm okay Naruto, thank you for asking." she replied with a slight blush on her face. From the way Naruto was holding her, she could feel the lean muscles under his jumpsuit. She never knew that Naruto's eyes were so blue. It was like looking into the sky and ocean at the same time.
Ino pulled herslef away from Naruto, with new thoughts pushing into her mind other than the duck-ass Uchiha. She straightened herself up and got into an empty seat.
Naruto pulled himself up, dusting himself he sat down in the nearest seat to him. Which happened to be by a blue-haired girl. This girl had pale pupil-less eyes, she had a slight blush as the blonde sat next to her.
"Nnnnaruto, arrre youuuu ooookay?" The young girl asked, twirling her index fingers together. She blushed heavly.
"Hi, Hina-chan. I'm fine, thanks for asking. How are you?" Naruto asked, knowing that this girl had a huge crush on him.
Hinata turned a bright red and steam started to come from her head. Finally she passed out on her desk, the Hyuga heiress twitching slightly.
"Uhhhh, Hinata. Iruka, is announcing the teams." Naruto the passed out Hyuga.
Hinata bolted up, looking around. "What?"
"Ms. Hyuga, Nice of you to wake up." Iruka told the young heiress. "Anyways, as i was saying Team 7 will consist of Saskue Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, 'Yes, suck on that Ino-pig', and Kiba Inzukua. Your team leader will be Kurenia Yuhi. Team 8 will consist of Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, and Shino Aburame. Your team leader is Asume Sarutobi. Since team 9 is still in rotation it's time for the final team. Team 10 will consist of Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, and Naruto Uzumaki. Your team leader will be..." Before Iruka could finish, a large tarp flew through the window and four kunia exploded out.
The tarp said "Leader of Team 10, the sexy snake of Kohona. Anko Mitarashi"
"Gaki's, I'm here to pick up a Hyuga, a Yamanaka and a prankster. Where are they?" A pineapple haired Jonin exclaimed.
Iruka pulled the tarp down from one corner, "Anko, you are early. Again. I was just to announce that you were their squad leader."
Anko, smiled and pulled out her new favorite toy. Mcstabbington, twirled around her finger and flew across the room toward a dozing student. Upon hearing the thunk of metal into wood, the dozing blonde fell backwards out of his chair.
"Oww, what the hell!" Naruto yelled as he fell. "Crazy snake bitch, what the hell was that for."
Anko smiled suductivly, "That my sweet little prankster was a wake-up moment, come on you three. Training Ground 44, ten minutes. Or do I have to make sure you are prompt."
The teammates of team 10 rushed out the door before the last sentence had even finished leaving her mouth.
'Huh, they are a bunch of quick learners. I might actually have some fun. Expecially with Naruto being the only boy on the team. We girls might even be able to... No Anko, bad girl, STUDENT first, sex toy later.'Anko thought to herself, as Iruka finally flicked a eraser at her.
"Huh?" Anko asked as she turned to him."What?"
"Clean this mess up, then please get out. I'll send you a bill for the window." Iruka told her.
"Geez, fine you stuck-up turd knocker." Anko replied, cleaning up her mess and leaving.
Outside the FOD (AKA TG 44) 9.5 minutes later
"Okay slackers, you got here just in time." Anko said as she saw her three students huffing and puffing.
"What the hell was that, you just threw that kunia and told us to go. What are we even doing out here?" Ino asked.
"This my darling hime, is where you will train with me. And where you will be driven to the edge of your mind and have two choices. Embrace the insanity or be devoured by it." Anko replied. "Anyways, let's get introduction out of the way. Hime, you first."
"Uh, how are we supposed to introduce oursleves. Can you show us?" Ino asked. Naruto just sighed, as Hinata blushed from being so close to her crush. Let alone that he was on the same team as her.
"Do you want me to hold your hand and change your diapers to?" Anko asked, "Fine I'll show you how then you do it okay. My name is Anko Mitarashi, I like dango, sharp pointy things, and snakes. I don't like perverts, pedophiles, and sleeping with clothes on. My dream is to become the Head of IT. Now your turn, Hime?"
Ino looked at the other two, "I'm Ino Yamanaka, I like flowers, brushing my hair and someone..., I dislike billboard brows, people who have no respect, and the color light green, My dreams are to be able to grow strong with the person i like."
'Huh, I'm wondering if she is still on the Uchiha's fanclub or if she has gotten over him? From the way i saw her looking at Naru-kun earlier, I say she might have a light crush on him.' the snake mistress thought. "Yo, pale-eyes. Your next."
Hinata woke up from her daze, "Wwwwho me?" Anko nodded. "I'm Hinata Hyuga, I like cinnamon buns, playing with my sister Hinabi and ssstal.. I mean wwwat.. I mean..., My dddream is to unite the Hyuga main and side bbbranches and get rid of the curse seal on our family." When she started to finish saying her likes she started blushing and glancing at a smiling Naruto.
'Well, butter me up and have an.. No bad Anko. So I have to get her confidence up and get her and Naru-kun together. This will be fun, hehehehe.'
"Lastly, you whiskers." Anko stated.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, I like ramen, training, and foxes. I dislike large group of people, cowards, and people who can't see the truth. My dreams are to be in the best team of ninja from this village and one day become Hokage, and maybe remove a certain something in my life." Naruto said, his voice becoming low and rough at the end of the statement.
'He's still fighting for control over himself, poor Naru-kun. I will help your dream come true. Hell, I've seen him train. When he gets up to the proper age i might even... No Anko, BAD BAD BAD. No pedo thoughts, wait a few years. Then...'
"Anyways, that's all for today. Be here at eight o'clock on the dot. See ya later Gakis." Anko told her team and disappeared.
"SO... ramen anyone?" Naruto looked at the two girls that he had been put with. Ino, looked at him in a slightly new light. Hinata, well... 3.2.1. *THUNK*
"Hinata?" both of the new teammates cried as they tried to help the young heiress.
Near midnight in FOD's Central tower
Anko had pulled the last dango off the stick and threw it at the wall, closing her eyes waiting for the thunk of sinking wood. Never hearing it for a second, Anko cracked her eye to see Fox standing with the stick in his fingers.
"Well Snake, do you think you can train them?" Fox asked.
"Long time no see dark and mysertious, my new team is a lil rough. But capture and interigation looks good for them. By the way, I want to thank you for putting it together." Anko told the masked man.
"Oh, I always thought you were a lil soft-hearted." Fox replied in a slight sarcastic tone.
"I am, but you had better let the kid sleep. He's going to need it tomorrow. Now get out of here, you know i like my privacy. That is unless you want a show?" Anko suggested suductively.
"Not this time, maybe when my body catches up to me brain." Gently taking Anko's chin, "But if you be on your best behavior, i might let you peek." Fox told the snake mistress.
"Or what?" Anko proded at the young man.
"You'll be destroyed until nothing but a hollow mind is left. Only to do one thing, serve me."
"Oh, but that sounds so good. I promise that I'll behave. But I'm still putting you through the ringer tomorrow." Anko replied.
"I would expect nothing less, my Snake-hime. Now I have to go, goodnight." Fox farewelled before leaping from the tower.
"Goodnight, Naruto. I promise to help you to embrace or destroy him." Anko replied in a low tone, almost crying from what she had seen him get thrown threw. Years had passed since that night, but it still hurt her to see the carefree child turn into a murderous monster. Sighing, she undressed and crawled into her bed, thoughts of her savior clinging to her as she fell asleep.
Hyuga Compound
Hiashi Hyuga was in his study when he felt someone enter, not feeling any threats from this person he finished his paperwork and looked up to see the person who would interrupt him this late at night.
"Fox-san, to what might I owe the honor." Hiashi asked in a monotone voice.
"I want to speak about your daughter. Hinata." Fox replied.
"I know, she is infatuated by your other-self. I don't want her to know who you are. So if you could please." Hiashi bowed before Fox, "Please never let her see you like this. It would destroy her." Hiashi choked back tears as he begged.
"I'll try my best Hiashi, but you should know that favor is almost due." Fox told him, "the one from years ago."
"Yes, the elders have agreed to let Naruto have Hinata's hand. They still have four years to know one another." Hiashi sighed as he remembered the night long ago he had made the deal with the devil.
"Good, now i have news of your brother." Fox told the Hyuga leader. " He has infiltrated the Snake's hideout. He is well, and wishes you know worry."
Hiashi chuckled lightly, "Even now. He worries about me. Thank you Fox-san." Looking up he saw that he was talking to an empty room. 'I just hope that Hinata will never see him kill like he had to, when he saved her.'
As he went to his bedroom, Hiashi looked in on his oldest daughter. Hinata was smiling and holding a stuffed red fox that had appeared the day after she was kidnapped. Let's just say that the kidnapper was nothing but a pile of flesh and organ's after Fox had finished with him. Leaving only that he was the emissary from the Cloud nation.
The White Lotus Flower Shop
Inoichi was sitting on the balcony as he sipped his tea. "So, i heard that you saved my lil hime from hitting a wall today." He spoke out to no one in particular.
"I was just doing what anybody else would have done." Fox replied, coming out of the shadows.
"If you are here for your next appointment, it's not for another 3 weeks. I'm trying to mend your mind. But while you were training with the ANBU, your lust for killing grew. I know you don't want to kill. You are, at your core, a gentle man and i thank you for protecting my hime. I've been trying to get her to start training seriously. I bet she will now that she's going to be around you." Inoichi told Fox.
"I'll make sure she will be one of the strongest kunoichi around." Fox stated with a tone of slight pride.
"Hmm, on one condition." Inoichi told him.
"Oh, let me guess. Don't flirt or hurt your daughter, or you'll kill me?" Fox guessed. "You know, you'll have to catch me first." With that Fox jumped off the balcony, and raced away.
Ino was having trouble sleeping, her mind lulling. Between her two crushes, one a fangirl that she had masked to make herself known. The other slowly, budding like a flower opening in spring time.
So, there we have it. The first chapter of a new series, As i said before I will keep working on FOE, but i think i might stick with this story for a little bit. I thought it might be a nice addition to the human psycology to have Naruto have a split personality, yes he is aware he has one.
Until next time, this is Sparda-kun2555 signing off.
