A New Life: Naruto Style!
"I've been having these weird thoughts lately…
Like is any of this for real…or not…?"
-Sora of Kingdom Hearts
"Ugh, my aching head…i-it is like I can't move…Then again maybe I shouldn't move." These thoughts were going through the head of a young 16-year-old boy with bluish-silver hair as he laid there in the middle forest with nothing but its animals that seemed to watch him in the morning shadows. But the dangers of the forest were the last thing on his mind; heck, he didn't even know that he was in the middle of a flourishing, thick tree covered forest and he wasn't planning on opening his eyes to see. His whole body was in deep pain and his brain was in some kind of pain, like he was trying to remember something. "Heck if I can…maybe I should just go to sleep and-" Those thoughts got completely interrupted by a wet tongue suddenly licking his face and he felt himself being covered in a lot of dog slobber. "I'm going to need a bath after this. Assuming that it doesn't eat me, that is." He slowly opened his eyes and saw a huge white dog looking at him with a happy dog expression as its tongue hung loosely out of his mouth and its tail wagged rapidly when the boy completely opened his eyes and stared blankly at the dog. "A...Akamaru," the boy said in disbelief. "There's no way this could be Akamaru! That dog's from that Naruto anime my friend and I watch every night!" Another slobbery lick put all the boy's doubts away; he jumped up in alarm and started to panic a little. "What the heck am I doing in Konoha!? Ugh, Stupid body!" The boy now groaned again when his body failed to keep him up and went back on his back to rest. Akamaru whined worriedly and licked the boy again, causing him to laugh this time. "It's okay Akamaru, I'm fine. My body just feels a little sore that's all." The boy tried to convince Akamaru he was fine, but right now he could barely sit up, much less stand. Akamaru looked unconvinced as it cocked its head at him. Then he suddenly barked happily and darted away, leaving the boy behind alone in the forest's clearing. "Wait! Don't leave me Akamaru!" He tried his hardest to call Akamaru back but the dog was long gone by that time. The boy once again tried to stand up and follow Akamaru but he only succeed on leaning tree after a few determined steps. "I said I was fine, I didn't say leave me alone here," groaned the boy to himself. He sighed as he felt his knees gave up on him and made him crash to the ground. This didn't feel any different from his life back home; everyone always gave up on him and left him alone. He didn't have anyone to rely on his whole life. There was his grandfather… but he died a month ago. "Why did you have to leave me behind, Grandpa?" He felt tears start to sting his eyes and quickly wiped them away, standing up as tall as he could, no matter how much his knees ached. "No…my Grandpa didn't leave me without anything…I-I still have that sword from back home," He said to himself and subconsciously pretended to touch the sword's handle…which was actually strapped to his side. "WHAT THE FU-OW!" He was about to swear in surprise as he jumped up again, but he had hit his head hard on the branch above his head. He mumbled a couple of words under his breath and looked to his side, wondering whether his hands played a trick on him. No trick; the katana had somehow gotten strapped firmly to his side. Its rock hard, coal black sheath, the hand-craved sapphire handle and the Yin and Yang emblems that were separate from each other but were chained by a silver, clean chain tightly to the handle; it really was with him. Somehow, but he could care less at this point; as long as he was here, he might a well go to Konoha and try to sort what the heck was happening. "But first, I have to know this is really Grandpa's genuine, hand-made sword he made for me," The boy thought as he grabbed a long, sturdy tree branch for support, ready to look after himself, like he had always done. He slowly unsheathed the sword and stared in awe at the diamond blade that gleamed when the sun's rays reached the sharp, well kept katana. Written in golden was a word.
"Kiyoshi"
"Well, that's my name for sure." Kiyoshi sighed to himself a little uneasily. "I don't like this…I can't remember anything beyond the death of Grandpa and the stuff about Naruto [Which is just plain weird. Could this be a form of amnesia?" He looked at the faraway gate to Konoha. "Thinking about it now won't help me now. I just hope I can get into Konoha without a fight." Kiyoshi thought about for a moment and sighed. "Doubt it; I might have to fight to make my way in. Better be careful." He slowly began to limp toward the gateway, hoping not to get caught…
But Kiyoshi was so focus on the gate that he didn't notice that where his one teardrop fell a silvery orb began to form under the trees' shadow. Even a highly skilled ninja wouldn't have been able to see what had taken form in the shadows now, though its golden eyes and its body's enormous outline was very unnerving, even in the shadows. It stared intently at the wounded but determined fighter limp toward the gates; its mouth formed into a sharp fanged smirk. "Such pain…yet such a strong willpower to live. I'm impressed you managed to summon me at all young one…But in your condition, you will not get passed the guards without a little help." Its smirk widened even more to see that Kiyoshi had let go of the stick and was now sprinting away with extraordinary speed. "Then again, I think it would be more fun to watch how you will handle yourself." It leapt agilely from tree to tree along side Kiyoshi, but at the same time, well hidden in the shadows. "I like your powerful spirit young one. I'll stand down until you truly need me. As for the person who tries to hurt you." Its eyes gleamed very roguishly at the thought. "I'll have to thank them for the workout. But why don't you handle things until then, my new Lord…"
And that's it! Sorry if the first chapters a little short [I'm still a little new at this --;;. But I promise, I'll make the next chapter longer! But I want to know what you all think so far. Oh, and the name of the ramen shop owners that Naruto always always eats at. I want to see if they have names. Please review
