Day of the Kyuubi Attack
Death consumed the streets as the foxes claws came slashing down. Anger, sadness and hatred. The only emotions to be felt that day and the following days. 20% of Konoha's shinobi forces were wiped out that day. A small fraction of civilians were actually killed but too many still died. Some civilians were still too scared and shocked to leave the bunkers and resume life. But none were forced.
That day 4 children were born. The children of Minato and Kushina Namikaze, the oldest out of the 4 is Naruto, he had the blond spiky hair and oddly enough the only one to have red eyes. The second is Mito, she had red hair like her mother as did the youngest out of the four called Menma. The third child Natsumi has blond hair much like her farther and brother. Most were shocked how the Namikaze family actually managed to have 4 kids at once.
During the sealing of the Kyuubi Minato sealed 3 tails worth of chakra into Mito, Menma and Natsume while the Soul had been sealed within Naruto. The sealing did cost a life but not Minato's. Shisui offered his life in place of Minato's which the Shinagami accepted.
Minato and Kushina both survived that day but were heavily exhausted.
Their eldest son Arashi was 5 at the time and during the attack focused on helping people and making sure everyone was ok. He trusted in his father to protect his family and went against his fathers orders to evacuate.
After this day the village needed heavy repairs and the fact that konoha was open for attack also scared everyone.
5 Years Later
"Onii-chan, can you come play with me please? The others won't play with me." Sadly asked Naruto
"I'm really sorry Naruto. But you know I'm a Jonin now, a young one at that only 10 so I'm the perfect candidate for this mission. So I can't play I need to go." Arashi replied with clear regret
"Oh okay, when you come back can you play with me please?" A cute pout was present making Arashi grow a large smile
"Sure little buddy. I will be back in 3 years, a long term mission." This made Naruto become wide eyed and started to cry, he jumped on his elder brother and gave him a tight hug. Naruto remained silent.
"Don't worry little buddy, I will be back before you know it. And by the way Tou-chan and Kaa-chan should be training you in a year or so, to get you prepared for ninja life." Arashi said proudly with a huge smile. This got Naruto perked up and excited
"I love you Onii-chan!" Naruto cheerily said
"Well I need to be going now. I'm leaving you in charge of everyone, you need to protect them like the man I know you will become." Saying he was leaving hurt. A whole 3 years without his brother and the rest of his family but it had to be done.
After this Arashi went down to the door and said his final goodbyes to everyone.
3 Years Later
The following 3 years went slow for Naruto to say the least. He wasn't trained like his brother told him he would be. His parents always used the excuse "They need extra training because they need help controlling the Kyuubi's chakra, you will learn what you need to in the academy" his parents didn't train him and he couldn't find anyone with enough time to teach him. How ever he didn't need help when reading so over the years he studied a lot and become extremely intelligent for someone his age.
The 3 other siblings had benefitted for their parents training but this did more then improve their skills. Their egos took a big boost. They all though they were special because of them being the children of The Hokage and his wife. They often were spitful to Naruto and blamed him for stuff he didn't do, and verbally abused him. It didn't help that the younger 3 couldn't do wrong in their parents eyes.
Dear family
Unfortunately I have been given a list of assassination targets to take care of. The estimated time for handling these is 1 year and a half. I'm sorry I would very much like to return but I must follow out orders, keep safe.
Love,
Arashi
This was sad for the entire family because they couldn't see their older brother/son but no one hurt as much as Naruto, he felt the only person that ever loved him wasn't coming back and he had to spend more time alone.
1 Year, 6 Months Later
It was the same as any other day for Naruto he was alone, the only thing he had to keep him company was his books. During this time he had started Fuinjutsu, he grasped the basics making storage seals and explosive tags. He was still on basic level fondue to only being on it for around 4 months. However he was still dead last in his class for lacking skills in Taijutsu, Ninjutsu and Shurikenjutsu.
Naruto was laying in his bed reading when he heard a knock on his window, but he paid it no mind. The knocking became more intense. By this point the guest had got annoyed at Naruto not paying attention to his knocking so the person decided to break the window which scared the a absolute shit out of the Naruto until the person decided to speak.
"Hey little buddy..." Arashi never managed to finish his sentence when Naruto tackled him into a hug
"I missed you so much! The 4 and half years you were gone were the bane of my existence! Please never leave again!" Naruto begged crying tears mixed of joy and sadness. This got Arashi curious he knew him coming back would make him happy but not enough to cry.
"It can't of been that bad, you had all the others with you?" Arashi was starting to get worried at his brothers reactions.
"Who! I've been alone. Always been by myself, no friends no family that cared about me around!" Narutos said while his tears started to reduce
"What! What about your training!" At this point Arashi started to get seriously angry
"They never trained me or taught me anything. I'm the dead last in class I don't even know a Taijutsu stance other than the basic academy one." Naruto said in a low broken voice "Please don't go on a rampage, I would prefer if you could take me away for a while. Continued in the same broken voice.
Arashi was pissed off he had never been this made in his life "what was their excuse for not training you?" Arashi asked in a savage manner.
"They need help controlling the Kyuubi's chakra."
"Them idiots! Alright this is what we are gonna do, I'm going to leave a clone here henged as you so they won't suspect I've taken you. We will be gone for 6 months and return on your birthday. We will get some intense training done in that time. After all we do have years to catch up on." Arashi said with a forced joyous tone.
Naruto couldn't be happier he would actually get training from the person that means the most to him.
6 Months Later (With Arashi and Naruto)
Over this time they had been focused on Taijutsu, Shurikenjutsu and Chakra Control along with physical workout to gain more strength and speed. Naruto significantly improved more than expected. He took to the Taijutsu style his brother taught him quite well, it was called Dragon's Rampage Arashi had created this himself to use allow the user to choose if they wanted to use more strength or speed. This Taijutsu style was beneficial to both strength and speed style fighters, Naruto took to using more strength then speed as his brother also focused on speed.
"Okay little buddy our six months are over in the forest of death. You should go home, sleep and enjoy your birthday tomorrow. I need to head to ANBU headquarters tomorrow so they can test me because I have been away for 5 years."
"I'll try my best to enjoy it but there is no promises." Naruto answered with a frown.
Next Time (Namikaze Household)
"Happy Birthday you three!" Both Minato and Kushina cheered happily and cheerful responses back.
"Well breakfast is on the table and as you can see I baked a cake for later." Kushina said with a huge grin
Naruto had heard the ruckus and decided to come down stairs to see what the parents had planned. When he came down stairs Kushina was the first to say anything.
"Well are you going to say happy birthday to your siblings?" She said a little annoyed that he didn't instantly say happy birthday to the others
"Well are the they gonna say it back, because it is also my birthday?" At this point everyone was sweating at how they can forget about Naruto's birthday especially saying its on the same day as the rest.
"I actually forgot my own sons birthday, am I a terrible mother?"
"I completely forgot about Naruto, some father I am."
"I know I have been a bad sister to him but to think I forgot his birthday. Stupid Natsumi."
"Oh no, I promised myself I would get his forgiveness, he deserves a better sister than me."
"Well losers don't deserve to celebrate."
Before anyone could replay Naruto continued "well ain't that cake nice. Oh look it says 'Happy Birthday Mito, Natsumi and Menma' I wonder where my name can be?" Everyone could tell the hurt in his voice and felt even more guilty even Menma.
"Sochi-kin I'm sor..." Before Kushina could finish she was cut off
"Well cya, I'm goin out I'll be back in a bit." With that Naruto left in order to clear his head and leave the house that forgot him
Kushina was sobbing and muttering how she was a bad mother. Minato was trying to be strong but on the inside he was a wreck. Mito was openly sobbing upset she forgot about her brother. Natsumi had tears built up in her eyes a few would fall. Menma was in complete shock but never cried or showed any emotion.
No one knew at the time Arashi was there and heard everything. He decided to reveal himself
"I'm disappointed in you all especially you Tou-chan, Kaa-chan." Arashi wore a face of pure disappointment.
"Son, when did you return I heard about your mission extension." Minato asked shocked his son was back
"I've been back for 6 months" said low still trying to get over his disappointment
"What why the hell haven't you come to see us!" Demanded Minato and everyone was hurt Arashi didn't come home 6 months ago.
"I wouldn't of had too IF YOU HAD JUST FUCKING TRAINED NARUTO. For the last 6 months we have been in the forest of death training. The Naruto that's been here for the last 6 months is a fake I created." Everyone hurt when he raised his voice, because it was the truth Naruto was behind because they needed to train the others. Kushina decided to speak up.
"We needed to train the others to control the Kyuubi's chakra." Hoping this would ease Arashi
"Father I thought you was smarter. Let me explain how the chakra and the soul of the nine tails work. Them three have three tails worth of chakra sealed within them which they can never fully control and attempting it can cause damage to the person. However Naruto has the soul. When you run out of Chakra your both automatically replenishes chakra over time so what do you think would happen if the Kyuubi's soul was attached to a body? He would replenish his chakra meaning while the others only need to worry about 3 tails Naruto has a whole 9 tails to worry about, so your excuse is invalid." This caused shock to everyone not only Naruto had 9 tails but he had to go threw it alone
"Why didn't he tell anyone?" Was the immediate question that was asked
"He did and you called him a liar and a attention seeker." Arashi replied with venom in his tone.
Flashback
"Kaa-chan, you said the others need help with training because of the fox chakra. Because I have it too can I train?" Naruto asked nervous and scared of the reaction
"Me and your father do not have time for you too lie and seek our attention. You little brat don't you understand how serious this is go to your room and don't come down for the rest of the day even for dinner!" Yelled Kushina not wanting to play attention to him.
"We really are bad parents, we didn't believe our own son!" At this point Kushina was on the floor sobbing openly while his siblings were even Menma had a few tears coming down his face.
"We can fix this, we can train him in our techniques. Who would turn down that down." Minato reassured everyone confidently they all had there hopes up until Arashi dropped a bomb shell on them.
"Well sorry to say but that's not happening, I offered him to convince you to train him but he turns it down and said he wanted to train with me and that's exactly what I plan to do. You can only blame yourselves for being shitty.
This left the family in extreme guilt all thinking a way to make it up to him.
