*Sniff* 'why won't they notice me? Why doesn't my family care about me?', a four year old Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze thought as he sat in the corner of the room as his siblings celebrated their birthday, no one ever remembered his birthday.
Everyone was smiling laughing, ignoring him like he wasn't even there like they couldn't see him.
"Naruto-kun why are you crying?", he heard a melodious feminine voice ask worry laced this unfamiliar person's tone. The young whiskered blonde blinked and looked up to see a beautiful young-looking-girl with dark black hair streaked with dark orange. Cool. Though what caught, Naruto's attention most were her eyes, bright violet eyes with slit pupils, they seemed to just glow.
"w-who a-are you dattebayo?", Naruto asked the woman who now that he got a look at the woman she was stunning to say the least, even if her clothes seemed weird. Her dark hair was tied in a thick braid, her bangs framed her heart shaped face on the left dark orange, the right black as night.
"Yuugure, Luna Yuugure it's nice to finally meet you Naru-kun," she said with a giggle, at his verbal tic. "what you say we ditch this snooze fest?" She didn't give him a chance to reply as she pulled him along surprising him when they phased through the walls of the Namikaze Mansion. Once they were out, Naruto looked at her with a shocked look, "Oh yeah… that teehee, well that is what I wanna show you!"
She was kinda odd like there were no restraints on anything she said or did, she did as she pleased. As young as Naruto was he could respect that.
"ya know Naru-kun, I was wondering if you would like me to train you?", Luna asked Naruto making his eyes go wide filled with hope. "more to the point would you like to be strong, stronger than your parents or any shinobi?"
"Y-you can do that?", she nodded, and he was suddenly hugging the myterious woman he'd only just met.
"Yes but it is more than just training, I would have to turn you, make you something that can't be considered human. You would be like me, living the boundary between monster and man, only you can make this choice."
"will I look weird?", She giggled that this was the only thing that could bother the blond, she shook her head. "Then make me like you Luna-chan dattebayo!" He proclaimed as she kneeled down licking her lips with a predatory look, she draped her arms over his shoulders and whispered in his ear seductively, "Now stay still, if you don't you'll die…" With that Naruto froze stiff as a board even as she sunk her teeth into his shoulder slicing into his flesh. The warm trickle of his blood soaking into his shirt as he cringed as she bit down harder, he felt as though liquid fire was being dumped into his veins, he couldn't even scream as tears threatened to burst from his eyes. He couldn't even fathom the reason every inch every molecule of his body was in the most excruciating pain.
Then she released him from her jaws, with a slight gasp she hummed thoughtfully as she licked her lips of his blood, "Oh Naru-kun you taste delicious… oh he passed out, oh well he'll be fine after all turning him was a success, he has quite the potential." Luna lifted the unconscious blonde up smiling as the bite mark closed in seconds. She disappeared moments later, appearing in a small house in a field in Konaha. The place he would call home for the years to come.
{four years later}
It had been four years since the night that Naruto met the Hunter Luna Yuugure, and quite a bit has changed apart from no longer being human, finding out he has the most powerful element Darkness. The fact his release was something of a cross between a fox and a wolf, he gained similar features and mannerisms of the two He had gotten progressively taller, though he was only eight years old he stood a foot taller than his younger siblings. Though he didn't care much for his family, especially not Menma, Luna had made sure he never forgot how important family was. Even if they had never seemed to pay him any mind.
He stood at an impressive (for his age) 5'6", his body was naturally well toned and healthy, but through the hell that Luna called training his body looked like it was carved from stone. He sported an eight pack, calves that could cut diamond, biceps, triceps, quads, pecs toned and lean. His hair golden blond streaked with jet, smoother and less unruly than his original spiky mess. His eyes however had changed the least still the crystal blue pools punctuated by their slit pupils. His whisker marks slightly darker as well, but his face had lost most of the baby fat and was now more angled adding to his fox like appearance.
Naruto was wearing a sleeveless black top, black ANBU pants though he never wore the shinobi sandals as he could feel vibrations through the ground better, he had a dark orange sash tied around his waist
Now what was he doing today well he was getting ready for his first day at the academy, today heads would turn as the newest member of the House of Shadows would make an appearance. Naruto headed down stair of his home he shared with his sensei and fellow hunter, to see breakfast was set out on the table and he could see there was a note. He picked it up to see it read…
Naruto-kun I will be out of the village for quite a bit possibly a month, try not to get in too much trouble. Keep your abilities on the down low. When I'm back I'll begin training you in kenjustu, there are a few dozen scrolls in the basement on ninjutsu, fuinjutsu, genjutsu, and anrah manipulation. Have fun at the academy!
Love Luna Yuugure
"Hmm, I guess I should grab a scroll or two," He shrugged and grabbed his bag walking into the basement and grabbing one on anrah manipulation, one on genjutsu, and a C-rank water style jutsu. Satisfied with what he had he left the room sealed it, and locked up after he left.
He walked through the streets his eyes squinted as he smiled at the villagers while slowly leaking KI, they didn't stare long. He had stopped hating being stared at and being called a 'demon' since at the moment he kinda was. It was fear or respect, if they couldn't respect him they would fear him. Though Naruto would prefer the respect.
So he walked on without a care, heading toward the ninja academy.
Naruto went to open the door to the classroom before he smirked as he slid the door open, as he walked in everyone's eyes were on him even that Uchiha's fan girls, the silence tense until the instructor Iruka Umino spoke up, "N-Name?"
Naruto raised a brow before deciding to speak, "Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze."
"WHAT?!" was everyone's response, Mito looked on the verge of tears, Menma was glaring daggers at him.
"Yup, the one and only," Naruto said with an uncaring sigh he walked over past the smaller kids his age he sat next to the Uchiha kid, Sasuke. Didn't bother sparing the brat a second glance. Naruto sighed pulling out his Genjutsu scroll and started reading it, Naruto was curious about genjutsu since he found he could channel chalkra and anrah into his eyes to cast one. Though there was the fact that, his element allowed for the use of all elemental jutsu now he was stuck on water he got wind down easy.
Mito was confused as to why her Onee-chan looked so much older, and where he had been for four years. To this day it hurt her heart that their family had pushed him away, but she was happy he was ok. She was brought out of her thoughts, when she heard the malevolent chuckling of the Kyuubi sealed into him,'Hehe so that is what happened to the boy! Ha to think he would become one of them, I doubt even I could stand toe to toe with who ever made him.' with a final laugh the Fox cut the connection. Leaving Mito staring wide eyed at her brother, who turned to meet her eyes he smiled before turning back to his scroll.
The day continued fairly easily at least till the instructors started talking to students about how to use kunai and shuriken. There were a few stupid answers as to what they were, Naruto didn't feel like drawing attention to him self so he didn't answer. However he was itching to show what he could do. So when no one volunteered at first he spoke up. "I guess I'll go first," he said as he walked up grabbing the kunai from Iruka he stood a good twenty feet from the post his eyes shut. Naruto opened the and a flick of the wrist was the only thing anyone saw before the knife punched through the wooden post embedding into the wall up to the handle. He sighed, he needed to work on holding back, "Well crap I threw it a little too hard…sorry Iruka-sensei." He hummed to himself walking off to the side.
Once the post got replaced there were spars that were… well they were pathetic. Menma ended up getting kicked through a wall courtesy of Naruto. It was really boring but he figured he they would get better at least some of them were from clans.
Naruto sighed inwardly as he laid on the roof of the academy, it was nice to simply relax sometimes. He frowned as a scent passed his nose, he smirked opening his eyes to see Sasuke glaring at him.
"How are you so strong!", he snarled down at Naruto, but the blondes grin just got wider pissing the Uchiha off even more.
"Because I am beyond the limitations of a human." Naruto said
"what the hell is that supposed to mean," he said with a scowl.
Naruto sighed standing up he was full head taller than Sasuke, he looked down at the Uchiha, yeah this kid was smug, arrogant, and Naruto was having none of it.
"You think you are entitled to power because you're an Uchiha, ha! Get real, I told you why you figure out the how." Naruto disappeared of the edge of the roof leaving a seething Sasuke.
Naruto was walking home hoping to get a little bit of training in, maybe 'wait what smells so good? Not food good but, mmm' he turned around trying to get a trace on that smell. Now his senses were better than any ninja dog, but this was faint. It didn't seem too be any large distance away it was close in fact.
"Damn what is that smell?", he muttered to himself, he inhaled deeply closing his eyes trying to seek it out. This was his version of a sensor made the world draped in shadows anything living was surrounded in red or white, people and animals were red, plants were white.
While others like him were different colors.
Where?
Where?
'Aha there you are.', he said his crystal blue eyes were midnight blue and black slit pupils, a predatory look cross his face.
He crept along the ground through the bushes, with all the stealth of the creature he was. He finally came upon the source of such a heavenly scent, damn he was a sucker for exotic girls… well his version of exotic.
'wait I'm eight, if I do what my other half is telling me to I will look like a perv, sigh' Naruto thought standing up a few feet behind Sakura Haruno. In his honest opinion she was really cute, her bubblegum pink hair was really unique, her emerald green eyes were beautiful. Her forehead…perfect to kiss. Yeah she had an unhealthy obsession with the uchiha brat, but hey he knew how to deal with that.
"So exactly what do you see in him?", Naruto asked aloud as he leaned against a tree. The pinkette nearly jumped out of her skin, she turned to see the other class hottie, he looked older but apparently he was their age. She blushed as she stared at the blonde's crystal blue eyes, 'wow, I mean wow, he is so hot. 'Why the hell do I want Sasuke when Naruto is right here?'
'wow I thought I'd have to do some convincing, whatevs', Naruto to thought inwardly shrugging at her mood flip.
"Soo any reason you like him or is it because everyone else does," Naruto asked again crossing his arms. He wasn't glaring he was curious why anyone would like that guy.
"I don't know, I guess I just want someone to acknowledge me. I hate my stupid hair, my stupid fore head, my-", she was cut off as Naruto put a finger to her lips to stop her from talking, she looked wide eyed seeing the hurt in his eyes.
"You are beautiful in every possible way Sakura-chan, and you are more special than you can possibly imagine…," he told her softly.
She didn't realize just how right he was then.
